Adams of that city writes encouraging letter—Sends good I have your last issue of the Conservator, containing among other things the "Cut" of our Pythian Home, recently purchased by our Grand Lodge thru our efficient and worthy G C Mr. A, W. Lloyd. This is a great step for Negro Pythianism in Missouri and will be a lasting monument to the order universally and to the race in general. The order of Knights of Pythias, is the coming order among the race and is destined to place the Negro in the highest plane of moral, social and political achievements. This order is doing telling and substantial work for the race and has in its rank and file, the leading professional and business men and women of the race. It is a young man's order and every young Negro of the race who expects to be anything or do anything for himself and race ought to join the order. We ought to have a lodge in every city and hamlet of Missouri and when the people properly understand just what the order is doing for the race, we will have little trouble in organizing thru-out the State. Sedalia ought to have a lodge—and she must have one too. We want Sedalia represented in our next Grand Lodge at Macon. We want you Bro. Huston, with us at Macon, we want to use the Conservator, as a medium thru which the people can hear what the colored Knights of Pythias are doing; So get ready and let us organize at Sedalia, and you too, will have a share in our newly purchased Pythian Home, a building worth twice $10,500 to the order and which will pay for itself within 5 years. Then Bro. Huston get ready and help us organize at Sedalia and meet us at Macon. Springfield is having somewhat of a "Boom" at present in several ways; The Baptist, under the able leadership of Rev.

The killing of Tom Ray by Policeman Bradford, according to the statements made by eye witnesses, is nothing short of assassination and should be vigorously prosecuted. There is more trouble in Nashville on account of the recklessness of police men toward the colored people than from all the other sources of trouble together, and should not be so. The Negroes are quiet, lawabiding citizens and should be protected. Some of the best colored people of the city, because of existing conditions are speaking of leaving. Within the last two weeks two men (colored) have been killed by policement; and simply because they they are black men, they no more would, have shot white men in that brutal way than they would have met a Japanese army. It is the height of cowardice to thus treat an innocent and defenseless people.—S. S. Monitor.
