Both gave interesting to express the thanks of the citi line Easter pr 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 President of the College. As far as possible we endeavor to safeguard those working in the city, that cannot be fully responsible for those outside the building. Only young men and women f 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. Through the kindness of the editor and manager; the College has the use of this page of the CONSERVATOR as a special SMITHSONIAN edition. The College is proud of the CONSERVATOR as one of its own journalistic children. Both editor and manager have been students of Geo. R. Its first numbers were printed at the College from College type, and with the help of College students. Now that it has a home of its own it repays the parental care by giving generous space to College interests, and honors its alma mater, by high ideals and the defense of all that is good in home and church and state. Winter term closed on F. 12, 22. Washington's birthday. Now we have started on the home stretch and but seven short weeks remain till the end of the year. The work of the past term has been highly satisfactory and we look forward to the Commencement as the crowning of a good year's work, and, for a good number, of a completed Academic course. We cordially invite to the coming Commencement, parents, pastors, students and friends. The details of the program are not completed, but we give the general outline;-April, 21, 22 and 25 written examinations. April 24. -11 A. M., Bacculaureate sermon, President Lowe., 3 P.M.

President Lowe, attends this week the conferences-Central Mo., at Kansas City and the Lincoln at Topeka, in the interests of the College. The Concert by the Blind Boone Co. was well patronized and much enjoyed. The share of the proceeds was applied to payment on the Schiller piano. A cinder walk has been made from campus to corner of mill St. covering the most part of the muddy way from College to town. Lincoln's birthday Sunday was duly observed by use of exercise furnished by the Society. A collection of $5 was taken for the cause.

Dr. McNeal of the Katy Hospital favored us with his illustrated lecture on Egypt. This was one of the several treats enjooged by the school this year. A visit from Rev. Dr. Sherrill, and his stirring address resulted in recruiting a large Band of Friends of Africa. Mr. H. T. Reeves was elected President of the Band. The revival meeting at Taylors Chapei in which were a large number of conversions was participated in by members of the George R. who received a good share of the blessings. The lecture by Miss Prof. Busick on "The Relative Size of Things" emphasized the importance of genuine courtesy. The point was well taken, and the whole address thoroughly enjoyed. The demands for student help is always greater than the supply. We know of no other school that affords like opportunities for boys and girls ambitious for an education to make their way. The recital given behalf of the Commencement music did credit to the department and the participants. Our friends from Taylor and Simpson Chapels favored us with their presence and patronage.

The rest of the roll will have their preliminary test a few weeks later. Members of the third year and guests enjoyed a social evening at the College last week with bountious refreshments, not omitting ice cream. It is suspected that members of another class shared with them the cream of the evening. It is hoped to erect our Industrial building during the spring and summer. Decisive action waits on the payment of subscriptions at the Conferences. President Lowe will be at the Conference and give receipts for all contributions. The unusually severe weather in January, the thermometer registering 14 degrees below zero froze up the water pipes in the East wing and water is consequently shut off, waiting an appropriation for repairs. Three trustees are to be elect from each of the Conferences, the Missouri. Central Mo., St. Louis and Lincoln. From each there will be chosen, one for one year, one for two years and one for three years. Eight trustees will be appointed by the Freedmens' Aid and Southern Education Society, while four, Bishop Fitzerald Secretary, Mason, Elder Smith and President Lowe are members ex-officio.

It is indeed, a denlorable fact that there are a few Negroes who subordinate the public's and the race's good to their own personal selfish interests. But, we predict, that the day is not far distant when such men will be severely ostracised by the society of good men and women. Such characters are worse than anarchists, because anarchists are open and bold while these are stealthy as the very ambassadors from Pluto's torridest regions. MANLINESS is the only true avenue to success. All men should cultivate the noble principles of this all important virtue or manhood. An element of manliness is politeness. Nothing inducts a young man into society so easily and quickly as politeness. Another element is culture. The truly cultured young man or woman has nothing to fear in the struggle of life, because culture is the ladder by which all must climb to success. Another trait that is characteristic of manliness is firmness or fixedness of purpose. The pursuit of purpose spare every one to activity, vigorous and persistent. Armed with manliness, the Negro youth will have a powerful weapon to defend himself against fiercest and most relentless enemies. THE CONSERVATOR is pleased to be able to grant Our Beloved Alma Mater, Geo. R. Smith College, space on our first page this week as a special Conference Edition. The Editor, Manager and Composer, having received their Sedalia Weekly Conservator. intellect and veneral training from this institution, tell it to be no small honor to enjoy this opportunity of speaking complimentary of the student body and faculty. The young men and women indicate, by their daily deportment and general demeanor, the highest american ideals. The Faculty is composed of christianly cultured ladies and gentlemen, who are exerting Herculean efforts to bring into living realities the noble ideals embodied in the minds of the student body. May the Central Missouri and Lincoln Conference exert themselves as never before doing the ensuing year for the welfare of this, their only institution of learning. The apparent, unanimous endorsement of the Citizen's Ticket, cannot be other, than indicative of the confidence the citizens of Sedalia have in a Bipartisan management of municipal affairs. Well, we would say, that if such is wisdom for the successful manipulation of the city's interests, why would it not work in the county, from that turn out the state. What is good for a part of the county, it seems to be very obvious, should be good for the whole county. But the county is a part of the state, therefore, Bipartisan management throut the state would be alright, unless such conditions should build up a state "Tammany" or municipal self-perpetuating ring." So, after, all it is well for the people to observe closely those things that have an auriferous brightness, less such glimmerings be from "Fool's Gold" instead of the real gold. Atready has the present managers of your municipal affairs been suspected of "High-handedness." It is left to them, be it said to their advantage to demonstrate to the people that their acts are all for the public good. ```markdown ``` At no time will we allow ourselves to be persuaded to act other than for the public good, as we perceive it to be right or expedient. In local politics, we shall be for no special party, clique or clam, except for the best interests first of Sedalia and then for the good of the Negro race. Believing, as we do, that we have friends, that is, the Negro has friends, in all races, parties and cliques, we feel assured that his best interests can best be subserved by remaining loyal to his trusted and tried friends, whether they, be Republican, Democrat, Socialist or anything else. When the Negro has learned to act in politics, not so much from the promptings of sentiment but for his local good, then, and not until then will he be given the consideration his numerical and economical strength merits. Again, we would have our readers know that we must, hereafter, in considering our state and national issues, considered them apart from our local conditions. Too often have we allowed ourselves to be led, by the enthusiastic endorsement of national and state propisitions, to the detriment of home and racial interests. Hence, to secure the consideration due us, we must act intelligently, pledging ourselves to no man, unless we are positively convinced, that an individual is a true friend of our race and in favor of giving us at least half a man's chance.

Jeremiah Cromer, a white minister, in a recent sermon, attacked Vardaman and his infamous utterings. The Rev. took as a text: "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." After discussing the first half of the text, he turns himself upon the Mississippi Governor, and shows to him, what effect his (Vardaman) argument has upon intelligent whites. "The state of Mississippi is becoming conspicuous in these days for the sentiment of its governor with reference to the lack of ability on the part of the colored people in that state to rise up in line, to appreciate and to acquire higher intellectual things. The colored man, says the governor—this particular governor, who ought to know better 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 Disu Chancellor of you A. W. Lloyd, 26 Louis, Mo., for te organize a Knigh the colored man was not intended by God to walk in any of the highways of intelligence and human learning. Let him learn to dig in the ground, but never-no, never-let him try to dig Greek roots. Let him have ideas enough to till the soil and have nature respond to his efforts and furnish him a sufficiency o the supply of bread for his body, but never-no, never-let him aspire to catch down from the clouds any of Plato's ideas, for instance that have fascinated the intellectual world for many centuries. For the moment that he catches an of these ideas and they lodge in his brain they will make him a thief and a criminal, surely. Now, certainly God forbid that you and I should ever forget that there is a mighty problem in this Southland of ours in the relationship of the races one with another and that we should ever become doctrinales or fulminate about it; there is a problem there that is going to take the patient suffering and Christian spirit of decades and even of centuries on the part of the white man and the black man before it shall have been solved and brought to some harmonious conclusion on-let us remember that. But whilst we remember that, let us also remember that so long as Christianity is the dominant religion in this great land of ours, just so long it will never be possible for any man or any race of men to be pushed down into a dark dungeon into which the rays of light from any world above them shall forever be prevented from coming. Christianity is the religion of hope, and hope for every man. It finds its exemplification in Jesus himself as he went about among the wretchedly poor, as he sat down to eat with the sinners, that he took upon himself the opprobrium that came from those of high caste in his time because, for sooth, he ate with sinners." touch with each other than with her, according to the u disputed at Boston.

Lilly Belle Wheeler, matron, Mayme B. Smith, Sec'y. RATIFIED PANAMA TREATY. The democratic party in congress started out to fight the treaty with Panama because it was negotiated by a republican administration. But when the democratic leaders heard from their constituencies and found that the people were enthusiastically in favor of the Panama canal and of all steps necessary to make the big channel a reality, there was a hurrying to cover, says the Troy Times. When the vote was finally taken, much earlier than was expected the issue could be reached, only 14 democrats were found who placed themselves in opposition to the bill. Thus the democratic party in the senate conceded that the treaty offered by the republican party to the nation was wise and desirable. It is discouraging to a party which needs so badly an issue for its campaign this year that when an expected opportunity presents itself the people of the country should force that party itself to get into line with national sentiment. The suggestion which has been made in a semi-humorous way that the Democrats have no campaign this year, but ratify the republican platform, is not a bad one, because the different elements which will make up that platform are being ratified one by one in the progress of events and no hand is raised against them with any prospect of success. The final approval of the treaty with Panama assures prompt and persistent activity in the construction of the canal. The building of this interoceanic highway will be one of the great events in the world's history. It will have a civilizing influence on mankind, and it will be a certain and a just reward to the United States that in facilitating the intercourse of the world's people much of the resulting advantage will come to enterprising and sagacious America, which under the able and progressive guidance of the republican party has brought what Senator Hoar called "the dream of centuries" to a wideawake realization. BY THE POLITICAL EDITORS Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bryan continue to reiterate their opinions about each other in spite of the fact that the public is entirely familiar with them. —Washington Star. The advice of Mr. Cleveland to beware of the strange cause and obsolete issues supported by the democratic party in 1896 and 1900. This wise counsel so enrages persons identified with Bryanism that something still stranger may be looked for in July.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It is figured that 37 newspapers are shouting for Cleveland as the democratic nominee. But all 37 are not shouting as loud as six others located in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. The old style common or garden variety of democrat is bound to yield to the new and stylish yellow speeches (Democratia Hearstiana).—Indianapolis Journal. Senator Gorman seems to have a positive genius for choosing exactly the wrong time to express his opinions. Now he is advocating a cheap navy—and just at the time when most people are beginning to see the need of a strong one. If an angel should come down and announce that the country was about to be visited by disastrous fire Gorman would probably choose that moment to introduce a bill compelling everybody to allow their insurance policies to lapse.—Indianapalis Journal. "There is no danger of this country becoming involved in the war," says the president, so that silences another lot of foolishness.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. H. G. PHILLIPS SEDALIA. MO.

These specimens he intends to exhibit at the World's Fair at St. Louis and are as follows: A blacksmith's hammer, composed of five metals. Three of the metals are molten and run together and are brass, pot-metal and steel. Near the top of the hammer is a ring of brass, about the size of a 25 cents piece, thru the center of which is a silver plug the size of an ordinary lead pencil.

The Lincoln Annual Conference, as is well known, is composed of the men, who formerly had charges in Western Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian Territories. These men for several years met with the Central Missouri Conference. During these years, they were represented by only one Preiding Elder the Rev. D. G. Franklin, whose district at that time covered the "immensity of space." At the meeting of the Central Missouri Conference, at Louisiana, Mo., in March in 1902, by an enabling act passed by the General Conference of 1900, a new Conference was organized from the men occupying the above named territory and other pastors-transfers from the Central Missouri and other conferences. Among the body of men, there were found to be twenty effective elders and, together with numerous deacons and men on trial-a sufficient numbe. to establish a conference commensurate with our new Western Methodism After considerable deliberations as to what name the new conference should have, it was decided to be called The Okaneb Conference. It first session was held at Guth ie, Oklahoma and the Rev. South was chosen as Presiding Elder for the Topeka District. Hence, the new conference began its active work with two Presiding Elders, having under their supervision 440 appointments. Its first session was presided over by that very eminent churchman, the learned Right Rev. Bishop J. W. Hamilton, than whom there is none a greater friend to the Negro race. Of the different men who lined up for office and preferment the following were chosen as secretary, Rev. A. W. Talbot, asst, secy., Rev B. F. Swindell, statistical secy., Rev J. E. Williams, treas. J. A. C. Wade. One of the most important acts of this meeting was the change of its (the conference) name from Okaneb to The Lincoln Conference, in honor of the great emancipator. Now as to whom and what kind of men the Lincoln Conference is composed, I have, at this time but little to say, because we are all young and many of us have on "our knee-pants and copper-toed shoes." Nevertheless in the Lincoln Conference are to be found some ecclesiastical manhood. Among our young and ambitious men are to be numbered the Reverends Talbot, Smith, Wade, Bruce Dauson, Holmes, McCallister, and Swindell while among the veterans and more matured men are to be found the Reverends Seth Neale J. S. Burton, J. K. Anderson, C. P. Thompson and the writer (G. A. Maston.) I shall assume, the liberty of speaking of some of the personal attributes of some of our more prominent men. The Rev. A. W. Talbot is noted for his expertness with the "pen" and for his general knowledge of men and things. He has the material in him, out of which Presiding Elders are made. Of Rev. Dudley Smith, it may be said, that he excels as a church builder and financial hustler. The Rev. J. A. C. Wade has, also an enviable reputation as a church-builder and debt-payer-Wade is considered by his Presiding Elder as an all When around good man. Bruce, David Bruce is the present conference chorister and as a debater and parliamentarian the cannot be beaten. Rev. Bruce, also, has his eye on the eldership. McCallister is from Mississippi and is a product of Gammon Theological Seminary. He is reserved and studious; alert logical and conclusive in his discourses. Brother F. B. Swindell is a young man yet and is very anxious become the conference artist. Get a good kodac, B. F., and I'll give you another trial at my plug hat. Brother Seth Neale wishes to be conference evangelist. I suppose we shall have to let him go. "go preach." Reverends J S. Burton J. K. Anderson and C. P. Thompson are our tried and true men. Rev. G. A. Maston, the writer, likes to write now, as he has a right to write, give him the right of way. The future of this conference is watched with much anxiety by the church, because it has much unoccupied territory within its domain-in Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado. And, as has been said "there is plenty of room at the top." So, if we wish to succeed, we must do better work than others along all lines. Rev. C. W. Holmes, our champion church builder and financier has already established Methodism at Colorado Springs, Colo. He is now occupying a $850 parsonage with a commodious church building in course of construction. The entering wedge has been driven at Denver, Colo. It is only a question stalwart workers, sustained by a little capital and Methodism will be firmly established at Denver-a field ripe with future possibilities. Hastings Neb. is calling for help to establish our beloved Methodism and Presiding Elder South has promised to gratify the people's wish, by sending help at an early date. This city has a Negro population of upwards of 200 with no religious society at all for their accommodation. Should we not hasten to this point with our banners flying? Let us indulge in this belief that, with such men as South and Franklin as leaders of our host and each man standing firmly at his post, that the Clarion sounds of Methodism will soon resound thru-out all this present unoccupied territory.
