BOWEN HIS LECTURE LISTENED TO BY A LARGE AUDIENCE IN GEORGE R. SMITH COLLEGE CHAPEL, LAST TUESDAY EVENING. Will Probably Make a Return Date Here During the Fall. Sedalians delight in meeting men and women of thought and action. Of the many that it has been the pleasure of our citizens to meet not a one has left a better impression than was made by J. W. E. Bowen, D. D., Ph. D., Editor of "The Voice of the Negro," the greatest Negro magazine published. Dr. Bowen accompanied by the Rev. J. M. Harris, pastor of Burns chapel, Kansas City, Mo., arrived in the City Tuesday on the noon thain. They were met by Pres. I. L. Lowe, of Geo. R. Smith College, who conducted them to the College. Here they refreshed themselves all afternoon. At 7 p. m. the private parlors of the College was thrown open and many citizens greeted the distinguished visitor at a public reception tendered in his honor, the President. Immediately after the reception, Dr. Bowen was introduced to a large audience as "one of the greatest scholars, editors and orators of his race." His lecture on, "What the Church and State has done for the Negro," was a master piece of logic, fore-thought, rhetorical beauty and philosophical utterances. His ideas are strickly independent but based upon facts so thoroughly authenticated by history and expierence, that an attempt to overthrow them would be mere child's play. After a restful night, the Reverends Dr. Bowen and J. M. Harris, Preparing for the Fair.

Huston of the Conservator. He was delighted with a call at Lincoln School, where he was entertained by the Choral Union, the greatest musical organization among Negroes, in the city. Ere his departure, Dr. Bowen expressed himself as being highly gratified with his visit to our midst. At 11:10 a. m. he took the train for Jefferson City, where he went to be the guest of Dr. B. F. Allen, President of Lincoln Institute. SOME THOUGHTS CAUGHT AND RETAINED A citizen of this republic is greater than a King, because he thinks acts and wills unhampered by constitutional restrictions. Thoughtful Americans believe in Amalgamation of the two races—not amalgamation of blood, families or color, but, amalgamation of sentiments and purposes. A republic is not based upon color, blood or condition of the body but rather upon blood and color of the mind. 100,000 ignorant irishmen turned loose without proper training in American customs and principles would be a dangerous thing in this city (Sedalia). The same is true of a 100,000 ignorant Negroes Ignorance is dangerous, it mattars not what the color of the individual who has been thus burdened. Moses Green, the president, at Lexington, Mo., or J.

Jackson Wins $16 Prize on the Following Composition.—Originality and Clearness of Diction Placed the Young Man as Second Best. That the educational progress of some parts of Africa has been wonderful and rapid is the record of history. And that the educational force of Liberia, the America of the dark continent, and those of Monrovia, its capital are doing an effective work for humanity, is a matter of pride which this most advanced age highly appreciates and truely cherishes. But in a country so vast and in part so densely populated, this educational advancement must be considered as the beginning. For that education and that school and universities are most necessarily and primarily needed in the redemption of Africa is a matter which can not be doubted. And surely it is a shocking thought that in the dark recesses of that contient, is nearly one fourth of the world's population, ignorant and illiterate; there, some are worshipping snakes and roots, there is daily sedition and bloodshed; there, we find all forms of vice, and there, fifty and sixty women are killed as a burial sacrifice. And that these vile practices rank among the greatest blot and stug- Perry's CAFE AND RESTAURANT Board by the day, week or month, Hot lunches served at all hours, day and n Meals prepared by one of the best CHEFS PARTIES, BANQUETS AND PRIVATE Served on Short Notice Our waiters are the politest to be found in the city.

Thus education, whose mission is to draw out the beautiful and good, to elevate and to ennoble is needed to disperse this ignorance and superstition, to sweep and blot out this darkness which so long has been a blight and indeed curse upon the passing age. Truly there can be no unity, no strength, no civilization and no social and religious improvement in Africa, as long as there are so many tribes with so many languages, with so many modes and manners of living. Her progress and advancement will be as a ship on a stormy sea, unable to stir, because tossed to and fro by opposing winds and waves. So the desire of seeing one language made universal in this mighty continent, should succeed and be held paramount to all others. For with this as an accomplishment, will be the beginning of that which means most for the civilization, redemption, evangelization of Africa. Such a step would mark the commencement of a Golden Age in a land so long benighted. For with the obliteration of so many languages would come the assimilation of modes and manners, the consolidation of tribes and a better understanding be- tween missionary and heathen. Then ignorance and superstition would give its own, and where there is sedition and bloodshed, there would be peace and tranquility, where there are fields of carriage and savage revenge. There would be virtue and morality, and where there is the worship of snakes and roots would be the worship of God the Father and of Christ the Son. How truly is education needed in Africa to bring about that susceptibility of right and wrong and to make the heathens cognizant of missionary teachings. For the story of the heathens and missionaries is the one told of a railroad traveler, who on his way was unworthily warned by one who said: "Get off the track! you are in danger! here comes a train!" the traveler turned looked in both directions of the track for miles, he neither saw nor heard any train and perceiving no danger, he went on his way. So not until learning imbues the heathen with the sense of shame and make him see for himself the corrupt and debased conditions in which he is living, will the warnings and ry's RESTAURANT, month. hours, day and night. of the best CHEFS in the city.

Besides the idea of enlightmnet need no less encouragement than the idea of Christainity; for as the foundation is to the frame of the house, so is education to Christianity. And just so much as the terra firma was necessary for the habitation of man and the lower animals; in as much as the herbs were necessary for animal life and being. And animal life was conditional upon the herbs. In as much as the lower animals were created before man, and the life and being of man was conditioned upon the lower animals, thus, so much does Christainity succeed best where education precedes it. The plow must go before the sowing of grain and necessarily education must be the plow share to the heathen mind, so that the sowing of the seed of righteousness may not be in vain, that harvest may be more glorious and that the reapers may not be few. In the preparation of humanity for Christ the ancient nation of Egypt and Chaldea, Greece and Rome have contributed. Philosophy, science and art have given light on the millennium dawn. Plato, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and Aristotle, these men and their truths, like the thought of the immortality of the soul were not antagonistic, but preparatory to our Christianity. So in that benight- CORRESPONDENCE DEPARTMENT Social, Religious and Business Happenings of the Week.

Creek Normal will be held in the city June 5th. There will be several more new School establishments; and as there are a goodly number already, there will be a need of quite a number of teachers. This teachers' Institute will possibly have a larger attendance than ever before. A first Grade certificate will be good for any part of the Territory. Prof J E Johnson will be the principal instructor. The Negroes of Muskogee are thoroughly demonstrating that Negro enterprise exist where-ever opportunity opens a way. Prof C A Biggers, who has been ed and yet beloved land, when upon education the broad principles of Christianity shall have been established, then will come those attainments which mean most for God and this country. Bacon has wisely said; "That it is without all controversy that learning does make the mind of men gentle, generous, amiable and pliant to government," and by a wide-spread education and by the dissemination of schools in Africa will come the glorious consumption of those desires long cherished. By such, Charlemagne laid the foundation of all that was beautiful, noble and useful in the middle ages. Who then can doubt that by the dissemination of schools in the dark continent,' that we shall see the product of a civilization, that shall not only claim eminence with that of the enlightened Greece and Rome, but will stand in fadeless splendor and abiding worth with all that has graced the civilization of the "land of the free and the home of the brave." With thankful hearts to God, Who has given Africa to redeem, with more education. Let us join in the march already begun. One writer has said "the goal is distinctly in veiw and its meaning grows more clear with every wheeling year." But compared with what must be done to set the light of God on every mountain side, in every vally, by every lake and in every home and in every heart of this mighty continent, all that has been accomplished is but the beginning. This aggressive advance of educational and evangelistic forces is the Supreme Movement of the times, and holds in plastic hands, the long and glorious future of the nations that one day to are fill and adorn these lands with a varied and progressive life and a glorious Christian civilization.

It may be safely assumed that, where ever he goes, new life, thought, action, purpose, resolve, hope, aspiration and race patriotism follow his energetic and intelligent tread. Dr. Bowen is, indeed, a man of action, keen fore-thought, powerful personality and, above all, a true leader of his people. In the councils of the Church, in the haunts of the scholar, in the revels of the scientist, upon the rostrum and everywhere thought holds sway, he stands a peer among the greatest and a glorious representative of the New Negro. The attention of every citizen of Missouri is called to the text of the Johnston Compulsory School Law passed by the last General Assembly. Its careful study and observance means much to our Johnston School Law. accepting a copy for publication. In a republic, such as ours, where every individual represents an absolutism in himself, education is essential for the preservation of our institutions and traditions. Some parents are so thoughtless that they can not see the importance of forcing their children into school. Where such conditions obtain it behooves the state, for its own good, to make judicious laws to compel the improvident and careless parent to give to its progeny all that a parent should bestow upon the individuals, who are to perpetuate the family name. For the careful pains-taking parent, who endeavors to properly look after the on-coming generation, the Johnston School Law has no terrors. But, the worthless scalloway, who begets children, and does not attempt to prepare them to meet their obligations to the home, the community or the state may well tremble. They deserve no mercy from the hands of the law. Let the teachers, preachers, editors, doctors, lawyers and all other public spirited men place before our people the importance of the observance of this law. Let them, also show them the good that will accrue to the race by keeping all the children in school. May we not make this statement relative to the author of the bill, representative E. E. Johnston, one of our own citizens. He is a map of strong religious beliefs and a lover of the coming generations. Actively engaged in business, here in the city, he has had sufficient opportunity to give the educational phase of our states development thought enough to form sound and logical conclusions. As a result of his observations and thoughts he has been instrumental in placing on our statutes a law that is far more important than all the criminal statute written; because, if we can get our citizens, of all classes, colors and beliefs, completely immersed in right education, we will not have criminals to deal with.

But, of course, their share of acreage and value of the land is much smaller, only 4.6 per cent of the former and 2.7 per cent of the latter. In South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana more than half of all the farms are worked by Negroes. Moreover, half of all the cotton plantations in the United States are under black control, altho, of course, they average less in size than those run by white men. The black farms of all kinds produce greater values to the acre than the white. There is a great stretch of land extending from the Atlantic to the gulf coast of Texas in which more than half of all farms are operated by Negroes. In three counties more than nineteen-twentieths of the farms are in colored hands; in thirteen counties more than nine-tenths; in fifty-four counties more than three-fourths, and in eleven states more than half. Negro barbers, porters and servants loom large in the popular imagination, but they really form an insignificant part of the colored race. The barbers are little over half of one per cent of income earning negro. Servants and waiters are four and one half per cent of those men engaged in agriculture.

The time is past when the only careers in life open to a Negro were to pick cotton make up berths on a pullman car, or wait on a table. The study of the Negro population of the United States recently published by the census bureau discloses some facts that show very clearly that the colored race is steadily developing a complete social and industrial system of its own. There is hardly any branch of industry in which Negroes are unrepresented, and that statement includes the women as well as men. A large city could be formed without a single white in it, and yet lack no trade or profession. There are 1,268 Negro teachers and college professors in the United States and 15,530 clergymen. The Negro could finance a railroad through their 82 bankers and brokers, lay it out with their 120 civil engineers and surveyors coudenn the right of way with 728 lawyers, make the rails with 12327 iron and steel workers, build the road with their 545,980 laborers, construct its telephone system with their 185 electricians and their 529 linemen, and operate it with their 55,327 railway employs. Colored people complain that they have to sit in the gallery in white theaters, but their 2,034 actors und showmen might give them theaters of their own, in which they could occupy the boxes in solitary gradeur. They have 52 architects, designers and draught men, 238 artists and teachers, 1,734 physicans and surgeons 212 dentists, 210 journalist, 3921 musicians and teachers of music, and 99 literary and scientific persons. The colored baby can be introduced to the world by Negro physicians and nurses, instructed in every accomplishment by Negro teachers, supplied with every requisite of by Negro merchants housed by Negro builders and burried by Negro undertakers. There Negro bookkeepers and accountants, clerks and copyists, commercial travelers, merchants salesmen, stenographer and telegraph operators. Negroes are in every usual trade—carpenters, masons, painters, paperhangers, plasterers blumers, steamerfitters, chemical workers, marble cutters, glass workers, fishermen, bakers, butchers, confectioners, millers, shoemakers, tinner watchmakers, gold and silver smiths, bookbinders, engravers, printers, tailors, engineers, photographers, glovemakers—every thing that the statistician it worth while to count. And the curious thing is that whatever line a Negro man is at work, there is also a Negro woman. The opcations which the colored women have allowed their men folks to monopolize are those of the architects bankers and brokers, the telegraph and telephone linemen, the boilermaker, the trunkmaker and patternmaker. You can hire a Negro civil engineeress or a elec trenenn. There are 164 colored clergywomen, 262 black actressess 10 Afro-American female lawyers. One Negro woman works as a roofer, another as plumber and 45 of them are blacksmiths, iron and steel worker and machinist. There are wholesale and 860 retail merchants. Others are journalist, literary persons, artist, musicians, government officials and practitioners and an infinite variety of skilled and unskilled trades. In many respects the colored population bears a marked resemblance to a European peasantry. Take, for instance, the extensive employment of women in agriculture. Nearly 600,000 Negro women and girls—almost as many as the numbers in all other occupations combined—are engaged in farming. Over half a million of them are employed as farm laborers, outnumbering the white women three to one. Negroes operate about one-eighth of all the farms in the United States, which is rather more Our JOB Department Special Low Prices for the next Thirty Days, on Hand bills, Tickets, Programs, Invitations, Letterheads, Envelopes, Calling Cards, Business Cards, Statements, Wedding Invitations, Small Books, Minutes and Catalogues.

The members of Both races should accept it in good faith, as resistance to its provisions will only result in the enactment of more drastic legislation."
