VOL. 11. NEGRO MUST BE Nick Childs of The Topeka Plainde He claims, Rightly, that the Non ence on the part of the poli Encourages The time is now at hand when these young Negroes who are loating around in the several towns and cities should find something to do. There is no excuse for their hanging around living off their parents and dead-beating their friends. There are too many girls and boys who do not care to work, and a great number who work do not save any of their hard earned wages. If this state of affairs continues to exist, we do not know what will be the salvation of the race. The law seems to be lax relating to vagrants. All grown, robust and healthy young men should be compelled to work or walk. Loafing breeds crime and brings that class into disrepute. There seems to be a concerted action on the part of a large minority of the young Negroes to avoid work. They render all sorts of excuses and complaints to keep from work. The law should lay hands upon them and march them to a place of imprisonment where they would be compelled to work; or else they should be compelled to leave the city. We can not stand it any longer; something must be done. There are too many idle young women loafing the streets and dodging the corners in the night time. The police department should become more diligent and seize them and either compel them to work and find respectable homes to live in, as well as to make themselves respectable and their community and those with whom they associate. There is a great demand for good cooks, good wash woman; this is about all this class would attempt to do and we doubt very sincerely whether they would accomplish much at this, as they seem to be very slovenly, untidy and slack of manners. This class of women should not be allowed to walk the streets of any respectable city. Keep them off the MEUSCHKE'S Graduation Every mother is an pretty graduation gown, a course, be pure white-embl street, hide them from the eyes of the public. Let them secure work. Let them learn it. There is another class of young girls who assume to earn their livelihood by domestic work, yet they cannot do this successfully because of keeping late hours seven nights in a week, which unfits them for service, and leads them to become untruthful, often giving the excuse that their relatives were ill or that their corns and bunions hurt them so that they could not put their shoes on. This class, also should be looked after. These false representatives of the race work a hardship upon that class of people who are doing all in their power to uplift themselves as well as others. To have this worthless class of no account Negroes weighting them down is too much of a load to carry. There is plenty of work on the farm. Summer is near at hand, grass is getting green, the leaves are putting forth, the birds are softly and sweetly singing; why should not these young Negroes go to work and earn a living? This class of people are loud-mouthed, uncouth, and can be heard for blocks on the street yelling at the top of their voices about matters that concerned nobody and are of no benefit to themselves—a nuisance to decent, respectable people who wish to live and be let alone. Let some method be used to induce the m to work. Our old forefathers have worn themselves out trying to educate and uplift this ungrateful young Negro race. The burden is now upon us, and what shall we do? The fault is with the parents, who not only fail to control their children, but allow themselves and their homes to be controlled by them. This way of allowing boys to lie in bed late mornings, and then roll around and eat the bread earned by the labor of their parents is entirely wrong.

PREPARING FOR THE FAIR. The leading spirits in the LaFayette County Colored Fair association are beginning on time this year to make the annual meeting at the Higginsville Mo., Fair grounds a great affair. A larger amount than ever will be given in premiums in all departments. The speed entries will far excel all former occasions Negro farmers thru-out the west should feel interested in this movement. Any one desiring information pertaining to the fair may secure same by writing Moses Green, president, Lexington, Mo. NEGRO K. P. BLAME THE MAYOR. FORCED ORDER TO MOVE. Old Club Practically Confiscated by Invasion of Lucas Avenue. The colored Knights of Pthias, whose purchase of the Y. M. C. A. clubhouse at 3137 Pine street has a storm of protest from the white residents of the neighborhood, declare they were forced to give up their former quarters at Jefferson and Lucas avenues by the action of Mayor Wells in ordering Chestnut street cleared of women of ill fame. The mayor desired to make a downtown driveway of Chestnut street and give the bituminous macadam trust a chance to do some business. He sent the scarlet women fluttering o- RANT E. H. Cline, Prop.

Billy's Grocery ver the city, as many hitherto respectable localities can testify. One colony of them settled on Lucas avenue in one block between Jefferson avenue and Beaumont street, near the colored YMCA and many respectable families. The colored Pythians' finding their surroundings unbearable, sought to get into a little purer atmosphere than that furnished them by Mayor Wells crusade. They declare they are not disturbed by the protests voiced by Dr. Cunningham and others, and propose to establish their state headquarters at 3137 Pine street. GRAND CHANCELLOR HERE. Aaron W. Lloyd, grand chancellor of colored Knights of Pythias of Missouri, arrived in the city yesterday from a tour through the state and made the following statement: "For eight years the Knights of Pythias have occupied the hall at the corner of Jefferson and Lucas avenues. At the time we secured that property the surroundings were wholesome and there was nothing of an immoral or improper nature to confront us. About two years ago Mayor Wells concluded that it would be best for the city to have the immoral women moved from Chesnut street and locate them elsewhere. "At last is was discovered that in the block between Jefferson avenue and Beaumont street, on Lucas avenue, the houses were occupied by colored people; that the ball on the corner of Jefferson and Lucas avenues was used by Spring Shoes AT QUINN BROS 206 - Ohio - Street the colored Knights of Pythias; that in the centre of this block was the colored Y. M. C.A. The colored people were ordered to vacate, and those who did not vacate fast enough were evicted." "Some of the most highly respected colored families of the city have their homes in this block, some of them owning their property. PROPERTY OFFERED TO K. OF P. "In purchasing the property at 3137 Pine street there was no thought whatever of antagonizing the interest of anybody. The fact is, the property was offered to us; it suited our purposes and we did as any other organization might have done and purchased it. We found in today's GLOBE-DEMOCRAT an announcement that another organization, the Aschenbroedel club, has purchased 3535 Pine street. This organization represents all the musicians of the city of St. Louis. "We have been very careful not to purchase a building that is too near any church or other religious institutions. We were offered several places that were near churches, but declined to buy them. We never heard any complaint against our purchasing the property until after the deal had been closed and the deed was in our possession." The Knights of Pythias is one of the foremost organizations among the colored people of the state of Missoui. The Y. M. C. A, was in no way responsible for the sale of the Pine Street property to the colored Pythians, as that organization did not own the property. Our Visit at Windsor Last Sunday morning, Ye Editor boarded the Katy 9:10 a.m. passenger train for Windsor. As we a lighted, a worthy citizen directed to the home of Mrs. Boyd, the boarding place, of Miss Ardonia Abbott, Windsor's progressive teacher. After a rest of a few minutes, we were taken to the home of Mrs. Laura Bradshaw, where we spent several pleasant hours and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at the Baptist Chnrch. Rev. J. W. Gordon, the pastor, had arranged a special service for that occasion. The leading feature of the service was the sermon by the Rev. J. W. Keltner, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of that city. Rev. Keltner preached a very practical sermon and his hearers were delighted with his presence. While here, we met an old acquaintance, Mr. Wolfscale, a musician much ability. Mrs. Matteu Miller renewed her subscription for a year and stated that she could not get along without the Conservator. This, of course, appealed to our vanity, because to hear individual speak favorably of the Conservator meets our heartiest appreciation Messrs Lawrence Webster and Mack Simms gave us their orders for Annual subscriptions. Windsor is a beautiful little NO.4 Shaves, Hair-Cuts, Shampoos, Sea-Foams and Hair-Singe.

Abbott, in a royal manner. He was welcomed on the 31st ult., with a reception and surprise. At 10 o'clock, of that evening, a large delegation of citizens, headed by the Butler Band, aroused the good pastor and his very worthy spouse from their peaceful slumbers. When the door was opened, about fifty persons entered the parsonage and deposited many good things on the table. After the exchange of pleasant greetings, all departed for their homes. St. Louis, Mo., has 13 colored schools with 130 instructors and over 5,000 students and have never had a colored member of the school board. Dr. Wm. P. Courts of 1409 Market street is an aspirant for this position this year. May success crown his thorny path. We heard the following in passing: A young man called one evening to see his best girl when the inteest in the occasion was growing more entertaining. The father called out at the doob—"Marget what time is it in there"—"I don't know papa, the clock is not going." "Well bow about the young man—is he going?" "Good night Miss Maggie."

Where whites Are Negligent. & Southern Gentleman's Opinion Fearlessly Stated, “lose Union Along Moral and Educational Lines Urged. A white citizen of South Caro- Tina recently addressed a colored school and because his conduct was criticised by some of the white citizens who can hardly be @ credit to their race, he publish- ed the following apology in a lo- al cewspaper: Lhad left my place of business dere on a business tip a few miles below; on retarning I came ‘dy the above—mentioned school frhe Prince Institute, colored) and was held up by the teacher and begged to make a few re- marks to the children.

Few people have conevived that race prejudice went so far, even in South Carolina, asi here m- dicated. Logisal it is tobe as- sumed that this jelly-fish was a+ bout to be put under the baw, and to secure exemption from this, published this abject card. To it was appended a certificate, from certain citizens, saying they “are anxious to see the col- ored race elavated as any people but by all means let it be done inside the color line”, If this means anything at all, it means that for a white man to address colored school childres is toat- tack the calor line in educational affairs. If this is true, this line has received many assaults in North Carolina, for it is common in this State for white men, from Governor down, to deliver ad- dresses to colored school chil dren, and we have yet to-hear the first criticism of one of theny for having done so. The narrowness and malig ity betrayed in the Orangeburg incident is exeeding ly unworthy, and those guilty of it should be ashamed of them- selves.
