Sedalia Weekly Conservator. The Niagra Movement. political influence. The Afro-American counsel was weakened with officerseekers. The man that enters the Niagra Movement needs to leaves all hope of office-getting behind him. Leave that to Booker T. Washington and his deciples, or to the inane Afro-American counsel. The Niagra Movement comes in the fullness of time. The apologetic Afro-American council is dying of inanity, the Booker T. Washington "lay low and keep dark" policy has nauseated the manly Negro, and the lack of proper leadership was falling like a pall upon the race. Compromising never wins; expediency at the sacrifice of principle, is but short lived at best. Trimming sails may succeed for personal aggrandizements. We need men of courage, not who seek office or We have in Prof, DuBois the most magnificent result of Negro ability and manhood; a finished product of Negro culture, a character with no political spots, a mind that has scaled the gamut PROGRAM OF THE District Conference, Su School and Epworth Co OF THE Sedalia District Central Misso To Be Held at Carthage AUG. 16-20 PROGRAM COMMITTEE; Richard Rush, A.

It has been said that a Negro cannot live in the South and speak out like a man. The enemies of the race respect him more than the man who sickens them by his patronizing policy. He has dignity. He don't tickle them with silly "nigger anecdotes." He is as earnest as Garrison, as cultured as Summer and as unyielding as Douglas. The heart is the DuBois movement, let the purse be where it may. He does not beg for money, he demands his rights. Labor will bring the one justice will secure the other. Kossuth stood for Hungary; O'Connell stood for Ireland, so DuBois stood for the Negro. It is no time for child's play, cracking jokes or presenting the ridicule side of the Negro. We cannot laugh when the courts in dozen states are closed against us; when oath-bound anti-Negro organization dominate whole counties with rapine and murder, when our schools are being crippled, our franchises destroyed and our possessions are held only at the sufficiency of oppressors.

Mr. Harris is only 30 years old and was educated at Baker university, Baldwin City, Kas., of which Rev. Dr. W. A. Ouayle was formerly president. Rev. Mr. Harris enjoys the confidence of the members of his race. He recently expressed himself thus: "My people make a great mistake by coming to the city. Some should stay in the country buy land and till the soil. The ingathering of Negroes to the city, the renting of large houses and the paying of high prices, and the buying of furniture on the insalment plan is a dangerous and hazardous thing to the race." —K.

The object of the league is to bring together Negroes who are engaged in business for themselves for mutual help and support. Booker T. Washington has been the president of the leag since its inception. A letter from President Roosevelt to the secretary, Emmet J. Scott, was read as follows: "I wish all success to the Negro Business League. Your organization is absolutely out of politics; and in stimulating activity among your people and working to increase their efficiency in the industrial world, it is also doing far reaching work in the way of giving them a realizing sense of their responsibility as citizens and "The Voice of The Negro." "The Voice of The Negro." In the number of Tom Watson's Magazine, there appeared a rather a lengthy and frevent editorial in which the editor claimed that the Negro had contributed nothing to civilization. Southern white papers at once, almost as a unit reprinted Mr. Watson's fulminations and commented thereon editorially. The result was that much unfavorable sentiment was created toward the Negro. This article is answered by Prof, Kelly Miller, one of the able writers of the race. Mr. Miller's early reply is published in the August number of the "Voice." We would suggest that Negro w'klies publish Mr. Miller's answer in it's entirety. Thus will the Negro press show unity against Watson, as the white press shows unity for him. The August number of our magazine is brimfull of raedable article.

But it is absolutely impossible to do good work in promoting the spiritual improvement of any race unless there is a foundation of material well being, because this foundation necessarily implies that the race has developed the root qualities of thrift energy and business sense. It is as true of a race as of an individual that while outsiders can help to certain degree, yet the real help must come in shapes of self help.

Oskaloosa, Iowa, clipped from the Oskaloa-Daily Herald, (white): Miss V, Willene Jackson, of Sedalia, Mo., assisted by local talent, gave a concert at Wesley Chapel Wednesday evening that was a real treat to those present and was deserving of a much better patronage than it received. Seldom do our readers have an opportunity to hear one of their race who is as well qualified to entertain as Miss Jackson.

Her selections Wednesday were of a difficult nature and well calculated to test the timber and quality of her voice and were rendered with faultless accuracy in note, word and gesture. Miss Jackson is educating herself, having by her own labors paid for the instruction she has received, and is now giving these concerts in an effort to raise means to continue her musical training MIS SOURI NEGRO PYTHIANS CHARTER SPECI L TRAIN.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF TO-DAY The opportunity for the man with little means is probadla better today in the prairie states of the Southwest than ever before in the history of the nation. To be sure, there is not the vast open choice of land for the homesteads that existed in the '70s. The lands then taken up under Government laws are now prosperous farms and ranches. The opportunity today is in the investment chances; in the purchase of farm lands at older states. There is need of more hands to develop the country. In the Southwest-Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas-are vast areas of unimproved land not yet producing the crops of which it is capable. Practically the same thing is true of the towns. Few lines of business are adequately represented. There are openings of a.1 sorts for the RIGHT MEN. ARE YOU ONE? If you are NOTICE.
