Sedalia Weekly Conservator

Sedalia Weekly Conservator. A NEW BOOK ON THE RACE ISSUE IN THE SOUTH. Its Author, Dr. W. B, Smith, of Tulane University, New Orleans, La., Fears Africanization of our Citizenship. A Conservative Comment made by a Globe-Democrat Contributor. Second Anniversary Celebration of the Establishment of The Sedalia Weekly Conservator at Liberty Park, Evening of May 17, 1905 Prepare for a "SWELL TIME" VOL. 11. ST. LOUIS. April 22.—The strange fancy of a certain breed of white women for the little mud-skinned, 'flat nosed Malays, who sported soldier clothes at the World's Fair, accentuates the negro problem in the South. But for the systematic culture of social prejudice against the negro as not only black, but a former slave the fancy might as easily have been for military negroes as for Malays. The Malays are very little superior to the negroes as a race. They lack the height and strength of the best African stock. With very much the same features their diminutive statures suggest a degeneration rather than betterment of African blood. Yet, seldom was a Philippine scout seen off duty about his World's Fair reservation without one or more curiously familiar white women for escort. If the Igorrotes had had the same freedom, their more attractive uniforms might have brought them even greater favors. Now, this Malay-minded type of white woman is not confined to St. Louis. There is nothing special in our topeography to make her local. She exists, undoubtedly, in other cities, and the cities only show the propensities latent in regions that permit less liberty. Imagine a perpetual World's Fair, with an army of Philippine scouts in an equal population of Malay-minded white women, and you would have the Southern problem, but for the Southern hatred, intense, inveterate, deadly, against all social intercourse that might lead to mongrelization. Of course, the mongrelization, if it came, would be gradual. It would begin with the Malay-minded women, or rather, with women of negroid tastes and conditions, and work its way up as individual mulatto excellence commended itself to exceptional recognition, until the breach ran through class above class, and let at last the flood of pammixia wash down every social dyke. And the pammixia would not raise the negroid type, its organic bounds being fixed too firmly for any kind of culture to remove them; it would only degrade and pollute and at last destroy the Caucasian strain. Instead of Americanizing Africa, it would utterly Africanize the blood that makes American civilization. Hence the supreme question for the South is the blood question. She can not deal as she would with other issues, however important, such as tariffs, currency, education, national expansion as long as the blood menace lasts. And the blood menace effort to raise the negro to the white man's level, whether political or educational or industrial. He must be kept down. So argues a recent book called "The Color Line." It is published by McClure, Phillips & Co., a prominent New York house, and has for its author Dr. William Benjamin Smith, a professor in Tulane University, New Orleans. Though written by a Southern man, the book indicates no partisanship other than the blood prejudice which it would justify. He has gone at his work in a thoroly scientific way. No work so scientific and thorough has hitherto challenged public thought to the problem he treats. That problem has been left too much to sentimental consideration on both sides. The religious aspect of it in the unity and brotherhood of man has banned as atheistic any scientific effort that threatened a rupture of the human family. This book does threaten such rupture; and in no weak or timid way. The boldness of it astounds. It not only defends the Southern idea of the Negro and how he should be managed, but attacks all science and all philanthropy that hold a different view. And this is done with an ability that exceeds even the audacity of the attack. I doubt if any other living man could bring an equal array of exact erudition to such a venture. Specialism narrows the knowledge it makes exact, but the author seems to be a specialist in many sciences. A professor of mathematics, known throughout the mathematical world for his metageometric work, he is also a philologist of world-wide renown, and read a philological paper at the World's Fair congress of arts and sciences, which Dr. Pfleiderer the great thinker of the University of Berlin, pronounced a marvel of subtle schol- The argument of the author, I can give only in the briefest outline. He first states the issue and the Southern position with its lines of defense. "Is the South justified in the absolute denial of social equality to the negro no matter what his virtues or abilities or accomplishments? If we disregard the color line in all other relations, is it impossible to maintain it fixedly in the sexual relation—in the propagation of our species? No! As a race the Southern Caucasian would be irreversibly doomed." He next argues at length the anatomic and physic inferiority of the negro. He then contends at length and with minutest detail against the possibility of ever raising this in- SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY APRIL 28 1905 RESTAURANT and CAFE. W. H. Cline, Prop.

Inthis contention he flouts everymundane consideration that hassofar been set forth by philanthropists in favor of white culture forblack brains. He finally asks what is to become of the black man, and call on the growth rate, the birth rate the death rate, the crime rate and the anthropometry of the black man to answer. The answer is doom; and that doom the South must not prevent, but rather hasten as its own and only hope of escape from mongrelization. I can not go the whole length of this argument. Though even when I demur, I feel the immense force of it. In fact, it is too forceful. It would be stronger if it were weaker. One does not like to be tomahawked into conviction.

Hence the craniological argument for those who believe manhood a matter of brain, size and shape, and the historical argument for those who look to the world's experience for wisdom, and so on. For the next decade or longer "the color line" is bound to be the center of the color controversy. No man, whether preacher, philanthropist, publicist or statesman, can speak to the hour on that controversy who does not know its argument and is not ready to meet it honestly. I commend it particularly to the attention of the Episcopal church congress, which is to discuss the future of the Negro in its May session at Brooklyn next month. Inferior, as Dr. Smith's argument would prove the negro, and sure of extinction for the benign of humanity, whose progress, as he says, "lies not in strengthening the weak, but in perfecting the strong." I wish that he had tempered its severity with some word of hope for its victims. He might have found that word in philosophy no less than in religion. The individual does not exist for the race, and the weak race for the great race itself, but these in turn exist for the individual, who is the ultimate fact of all racial development. Can the individual negro be entirely left out? Is he not a man, and as such entitled to the whole destiny of man? Does he not think, will, love, aspire? Has he not a conscience, a conscious and immortal self, to set him in the loftiest rank of the universe? Shape his body on brain as you will: bring him np by any distinct lineage of gorillahood; let him go on all-fours on hang by the tail from cocoanut trees, his personality still certifies a human soul, and that soul is heir to all that humanity dare hope for as its heritage from God. Because of the human soul under the black skin, philanthropy and religion must do their work, looking for certain fulfillment to the beyond, which shall mend every broken promise the soul bears hence, or give God the lie ROBERT A.

Hall the Hod-carriers' Union of this city held their great Easter outing. All the "boys" were dressed to "kill" and were escorting the girls in true Chesterfieldian style. The spacious hall was too small to accommodate the immense crowds that came to assist the "boys" in having a jolly time. Contractors, hod-carriers, mortar makers and attendants were there. You could not tell which was which. But all were having a "time," a "killing" time. The terpsichorean feature of the evening was in charge of 'Cap' (Charley) Martin. Of course you know how well gentleman Charley managed affairs. Good, jolly, hardworking and honest fellows are these hod-carriers. We delight in having them among us. To our social and religious life they will contribute their full quota of good influence. Mr. Schumaker, the manager, arranged a very creditable affair for the "boys" and their appreciation of his efforts are every where in evidence.

THE NEGRO TEACHER AND HIS WORK. Prof. A. H Harris] principal of the Versailles Colored School writes interesting Article Improvements in the Home Training of our Youth Urged. Spring Shoes AT QUINN BROS 206 - Ohio - Street The Negro school teacher holds an unique position. The school board maps out the course of study for his guide. He is sent into the school-room on the same morning the white teacher is sent. The bell rings at the same hour to call the black children from their vacation as it does to call the white children from their vacation, competent teachers grace the rostrum of each building and noisy children play in each school yard. What makes the position of the Negro teacher an unique one? It appears from the above statements that the Negro and white teachers are laboring under the same conditions and should accomplish the same results, but not so. The Negro teacher is confronted with conditions wholly unknown to white teachers, and yet he is expected to accomplish the same results accomplished by the white teacher, and too, under these different conditions. It is a natural law, that the same cause under the same conditions always produces the same effects. But, it never was and never will be true that the same identical cause under different conditions produces the same effect. We make the above statements, because this question is so often asked: "Why is it that the colored child does not advance as rapidly in school as the white child? (Of course, the teacher is held at fault for the child's condition although it attends school only forty days, during each session.) There are many answers to the above question. But, we will not, at this writing, attempt to state them all, but simply state a few of the important ones. 1st. It is absolutely impossible for the teacher to accomplish the object which he has in view when he has the pupil about three days in the week and three months in the school year. Second, the child often comes into the school room with its mind so poisoned from outside influences that it is wholly unable to receive the instructions given to it by its teacher. Third, many a pupil comes into the school room without the necessary books and has to depend wholly on the books of its seatmate to prepare his lessons. In many cases, two pupils try to study or prepare a lesson from the same book at the same time. Fourth, The Negro teacher is not aided by the influence of the home as the white teacher. Children too often stay away from school for weeks to keep from preparing a difficult lesson or because the teacher reproved them ```markdown ``` NO. 52 of some wrong act they committed. Yes, the position of the Negro teacher is a unique one. He takes the child with very little home training—uncount in his speech, rough in his manners and unrefined in his habits. But, the teacher is expected to take this child and, in a short space of time transform it into an angel, giving it the wisdom of a Solomon. Sometimes the Negro teacher labors harder to please the children and their parents than he does to impart the proper instructions, altho, the teacher is expected to please the pupils, their mother, father, brother, sister, friends and also the school board. Now, among the many answers that might be given to this offer asked question, we believe that the ones mentioned above are five of the most important ones, and are worthy to be presented to our readers. We trust that day is near at hand when the Negro teacher will under very different conditions accomplish better results. He it understood, that we do not wish to have our readers believe that there are no model Negro homes. We know, as do our readers, that some of the highest type of manhood and womanhood are found in many Negro homes. It is also true, that many of these Negro homes are adorned with wingless angels. May God be praised for such Negro homes, and may they be the means of others reforming. But take into consideration the circumstances under which the Negro has to labor, we believe that before the best results can be accomplished in the Negro school room there must be a reformation in the Negro home.

Bartlett spoke in the First Congregational church Sunday night of the troubles of business men as he had heard them related. One of the worst of the troubles was the dishonesty of employes. Said Dr. Bartlett: "Managers of stores tell me it is next to impossible to get young men on whom they can rely. One found two of his employees stealing at the same time recently. "Young men want to carouse rather than settle down to work," said another. "I cannot find skilled workers, though I am willing to pay large salaries. Cheap men are abundant. First class men are rare. Every-body is looking for them. That is the situation from the side of men who have made a place in the business world. There is another side to the story the light it throws on the complaints of the many young men who wish for places in the business world yet protest that they have no "chance" to rise. Why have they no "chance"? Too often they try to be two things which are absolutely incompatible. They try to be spendthrifts at night and competent business men by day. These two kinds of activity cannot be combined. When the candle burnt at both ends the result to his success of any kind. --- 120 East Main street Rear Steele's Barber Shop, the Eighth Grade.

W H Huston, Editor of the SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSERVATOR will visit our city next week. Prepare to subscribe for his paper WHO BE NO "CHANCE." Lately More upon Intelligent Effort ist to "Chance." FROM THE CHICAGO INTER-OCEAN. The young man starting in in life might as well make up his mind at the outset to do one thing or the other either to attend honestly and earnestly to business or to join at once the company of the gambler and the thief. The young man who tries to hold a foot in both camps may keep out of the penitentiary, but he inevitably becomes a cheap man' whom nobody wants for large work in either. No young man can be dishonest and respectable at the same time, or be a spendthrift and simultaneously rise in any legitimate business. Even though his dishonesty be undetected, it is unprofitable. Money thus won comes too easily to be kept. When it is wanted to take advantage of a business opportunity it is not there. Even though his profligacy be concealed from those on whom his immediate future depends, it will be known to others, and will rise up to bar his way when the road to advancement seems most clear and open. Their division of effort their distraction of aim between two fields, in both of which no man can succeed, is why so many young men are forced continually to complain that they have no "chance". If they were thoro thieves they might at least have what they call a good time, until the end came in prison or potter's field. If they were thorough business men they would miss the CHURCH DIRECTORY. Sedalia Churches. SUNDAY SERVICES TAYLOR CHAPEL METHODIST CHURCH Sunday School 9,130 a. m. Preaching 11,000 a. m.
