Support For Negro Journals Intelligently And Forcefully Urged.
It is often said: "I don't take Colored newspapers, they don't have any news; they are full of advertisements." My dear reader that is the reason why they don't have sufficient news. If you do not subscribe and pay your subscription (as there is a great deal of difference in subscribing and paying for it) how do you expect to see our Colorod papers contain the news that othrace papers contain?
How do you expect them to have money to pay reporters to go around and get the news—reporters cannot afford to do this for nothing—and send it to the editor? They cannot do it. It is just as impossible for them to labor successfully under these conditions, as it is for a steam engine to run without steam.
It is sad to say, but I find some few Negroes who have not enough racial pride to give their job work to a Negro printing office. It may be asked how do I know that they have not enough "racial pride" to do so?
First. Five years in the business, and connection with it, has plainly convinced me that this is so.

Second. If you do not want to class this as lack of "racial pride"
I will say their comprehensive powers are inadequate to fully understand "racial pride," and don't patronize Negroes on account of their ignorance of the advantages of doing so.
We say that Negroes cheat us, but this not a good excuse. We should know how much we are able to pay for our work, and have it done according to our pocket and not according to style and taste of others. Any man who can't judge what his work is worth is certainly an ignorant man.
I say again stick to your "Grand Negro Race." Why? Because if you do not respect our race and patronize it how can we expect other races to even do so? That is something like I heard a colored man say while I was standing in a certain Negro bank in Nashville, Tenn.: "I wonder why it is white people do not respect our men and women of high standing more than what they do?" I answered him saying: "Because the traitors to the race are always trying to find some fault

about them to go and "blab" to the whites, and these traitors do not respect the race themselves. If we respect and acknowledge our leaders wherever we are, regardless of surroundings, and point to them as the "North Star" of the race, other nations will do the same, and by so doing we, as well as the leaders, will be raised in the estimation of all bystanders, and probably we will encourage some other two-faced person to be a lover of the race. It is no disgrace to bea Negro. What I mean is to be a Negro in the broadest and fullest sense of the word by being a race lover, upholder and a supporter, instead of being a race hater and ready to tear down rather than build up.
It is also true we, as well as all races, have our many ups and downs, our scrubs, traitors and Negroes who hate their own race, but amid all that I am glad to say that we are advancing with the world.
Now coming back to our newspapers and general Negro business, their patronage, etc...
We say the editor is inefficient to do his work. What is your reason for saying so? You cannot give a sensible reason. I dare say. And mark the man that is always running Negro business

down and if you trace up his record he either owes his subscription, his grocery bill or some other debt to a Negro; or he has never seen the man to have a business transaction or have a talk with him, and is talking only from hearsay, from what some other traitor of his class, who is probably "tied up" in debt to the man, and is ignorant of the man's character as he only looks on the dark side of the man's life and not on the bright side. We as a race must learn to look on the bright side of the race for we, as a race, are too young to begin tearing down.
I have visited Negro homes and asked for a Negro paper and the reply was, "We don't take a Colored paper, they are not newsy enough."
"Do you have Negroes to do your job work?" I asked.
"Oh," I don't know."
It is because they either owe for subscription or lack of racial pride. They don't have Negroes to do their job work because they would rather take it to a white man and hear him ask: "Aunt Sally, what is it you will have?" They love that old time "Aunty" it matters not what their age is. (When I say that I do not mean true Negroes, for they respect their own profession, but, I mean traitors and scrubs.) Then again you go to a home and ask if they take anegropaper. The

uch different. With a pleasant smile they say! "Why, yes, two or three of them," and they take great pride in showing the Negro work to every one, white or black. They are the people who love their race and try to build it up by their hearty support. I plead with you, my dear reader, if you don't patronize the Negroes, I ask that you do so in the future.
It is true we have our "dead beats" in business, but when you find them out change to another Negro, they are not all "dead beats." Please pay the Negro, patronize him and acknowledge him first so we, the Negro race, may be acknowledged as men among men.
The lack of racial pride is the reason we are "Jim Crowed" today in many places. Let us in the future hold high the banner of "Racial Pride. Respect and Patronage to the Negro Race," and by so doing, God, our Father, will bring his children to a higher world. Yours for the racial uplifting,

NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION POSTPONED.
Owing to the rigid quarantine against the yellow fever conditions in New Orleans and other points in Louisiana, some of the state and especially those states, where a large number of the constituency of the National Baptist Convention reside. The Executive Board of the National Baptist Convenhas voted to postpone the meetings which were to have been held in Chicago, September 13-19, '05 to October 25, 1905. As much regretted as it is to take this action it is made necessary by reason of the fact that a large number of persons would be prevented from attending the meetings, who live in the extreme South and Southwest. By order of the Board.

Monday morning the doors of Lincoln school were thrown open. Already the enrollment is 323. Indications are that the first month's average will far exceed last year's average. In some rooms are to be found too too many children for the teacher to properly look after. The sentiment of the Board of Education is to give more teachers if the attendance merits it. Under that condition, to augment our teaching force in Lincoln school it is necessary for parents to place all their children in school—place them there to stay throughout the year.
But, as we see it, it is necessary even now to give more teaching force down there. During every recitation period of the day, the principal has a class to teach. His time for supervising is very limited, and when he does do supervisory work in the other rooms, it is to sacrifice time that should be devoted to some recitation. Is it too much to ask the patrons of this school to visit it in order that they may ascertain its needs and in a conservatively, manly way lay thematter, before the proper school officers? It is a duty that should be looked after.
No complaint is made of the work done there by the present corps of teachers. They are doing nicely judged from the members employed and the amount of work required. With an augmented force much better results would be obtained with less arduous labor on the part of each individual teacher. However competent a teacher or a corps of teachers may be, it is possible for them to be over-tixed. Such we believe to be the case at Lincoln school. Until further investigation, our contention must be sustained by public sentiment.

YEAR FIRST OF INDEPENDENCE.
CITIZENS:—It is not sufficient to have expelled from your country the barbarians who have drenched it with blood during two full centuries; nor is it sufficient to have bridled the constantly reviving factions who have sported, by turns, with the mere phantom of liberty which France has held up to your view. No, it is also imperative on us to secure power by a final act of national authority, the empire of Liberty in the country which gave us birth; it is imperative on us to wrench from the inhuman government, who, for so long, have held our minds in the most humiliating torpor, all hope of reducing us anew to servitude—in fine it is imperative on us to live independent or die.
Independence or death....Let these sacred words rally us and be at once the signal for our combats and of our reunions.
Citizens: My Compatriots: On this solemn day I have reassembled these courageous soldiers who, long on the watch to welcome the slightest breathings of liberty, have lavishly shed their blood to secure it. These generals, who have guided your efforts have not yet accomplished enough to secure your happiness.

DR DEATH.
(by J. Robert Love, M. D.)
ist in our island, and you believe that you are free and independent of this Republic that has waged war against all nations, it is true, but has never vanquished those who resolved to be free.
What then? Victims of our own credulity and indulgence during fourteen years; conquered not by the French armies but by specious eloquence of the proclamations of their agents, when shall we grow weary of breathing the same atmosphere with them? What have we in common with these executioners? Their cruelty compared with ourpatient moderation, their color with ours, the extent of the seas which separate us, our avenging climate—these tell us plainly enough that they are not our brothers—that they will never become such, and that if they find an asylum in our midst, they will still be the promoters of trouble and our division.
Native citizens, men, women, daughters and children, turn your eyes upon all the sections of this island, search there for your wifes, for your husbands, for your brothers, for your sisters—what must I say? Search there for your children, your infants at the breast! What has become of them? (I shudder in uttering it) they have been the prey of these vultures. Instead of these interesting victims, your astounded eyes rest only on their assassins; only on the tigers dripping with their blood, and whose frightful presence reproaches your insensibility and your tardiness in avenging them. What do you await in order to appease their names? Bear in mind your wish that when you had driven tyranny
---
out of the land, your remains should repose side by side with those of your fathers. Will you descend into the tomb without having avenged them? No, for their bones would spurn yours.
And you, valiant men and intrepid generals, insensible to your own misfortunes, have resurrected liberty in shedding all your blood, know this, that you will have done nothing if you do not give to all nations a terrible but just, example of the vengeance which ought to be inflicted by a people who have won their liberty and are jealous in maintaining it. Terrify all those who will attempt to ravish it again from us; commence with Frenchmen.
In approaching our coast let them tremble. If not from a recollection of the cruelities which they have perpetrated, yet, at least, on account of the terrible resolution which we are about to formulate, viz: to doom to death whoever, born a Frenchman should desecrate with his sacreligious foot the soil of liberty.

To urge Negroes to vote intelligently and effectively,
To push the matter of civil rights.
To organize business co-operation.
To build school houses and increase the interest in education.
To open up new avenues of employment and strengthen our hold on the old.
To distribute facts and information in regard to the laws of health.
To bring Negroes and labor unions into mutual understanding
To study Negro history.
To increase the circulation of honest unsubsidized newspapers and periodicals.
To attack crime among us by all civilized agencies. In fact to do all in our power by word or deed to increase the efficiency of of our race, the enjoyment of its manhood, rights and the performance of its just duties.

We had engaged Rev. W. L. Lee of Sturgeon, but for some reason he did not come. The Rev. Spencer Robertson of Higbee came and preached three of his best sermons to a crowded house.
Rev. R. Davis, pastor of Taylor Chapel, Sedalia, came over on a visit and preached a short stirring sermon on the 13th; also another on the evening of the 14th. During this meeting 8 souls were converted and 2 reclaimed. Nine joined our church. J. D. EVANS.

The leaders, stewarts, trustees met Tuesday evening the 19th inst to make arrangements for a basket meeting and a rally on the second Sunday in Oct., to raise money to pay on pastor's salary.
Feeling that they should not let the year get too far gone before they make some efforts to raise it.
The meeting was harmonio us, and the members present took an active part in expressing themselves as to how the basket meeting should be best conducted in reguards to the finance.
Out of the city the following pastors and their congregations are invited: Rev. R. Rush and his people, Rev. F. S. Bowles, Rev. G. W. Ball and his people, the city pastors and their congregations.
We hope to make the day one of gladness and a spiritual up lift to all who may attend, as well as one of financial interest to the stewarts.
Come one and all with well filled baskets and let us hold a jubile unto our King.
The thought is this, ability is the fiast requisite. It is the foundation upon which the intellectual superstructure is to be built. But ability alone cannot and does not constitute scholarship. But to ability must be added energy, to energy firmness of decision, to firmness of decision, iron clad will, to iron clad will, profoundness of thought, and to profoundness of thought, opportunity. These make it both probable and possible for scholarship. After ability comes energy—that something that makes one move out into the world.
Now one may have all the ability possible, but if he or she has not energy and push, they can never hope to succeed.
Gray was right when he said,
"Full many a gem of purest rays serene, the dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its fragrance on the desert air."
What I mean to say is this: Ability without energy and push is as a gem in the ocean or as a flower in the desert.
But grant that one has ability and energy, and is what we sometimes call white wash—unsettled. Without firmness of decision you cannot hope for success. Make out your program and stick to it. But a decision without will power to back it is no good. I wish to have it understood, if I should never speak to you again, the human will is the pivot i destiny.
But having all these one is not competent to become a scholar. You must be a thinker. Thoughts make men. As "man thinketh in his heart so is he." No one can rise above his or her thoughts. The thought life of a people is the criterion for the race.
The great business of a college or university is to make thinkers, and thinkers make doers, and it should be remembered we live in deeds and not in words. The world wants men and women who can do the work and do it systematically. The standard by which to judge men in this world and the world to come is Done Work.

His father will remain in Muskogee to look after business in terests. John says, "when I shall have finished my business education, I shall return to Muskogee, the garden spot of the world for the Negro' to engage in business with my father. Let the CONSERVATOR continue to come."
Altho we regret to lose this very worthy man we earnestly wish him a hearty "Godspeed" in the attainment of his sensible ambition.
AN ADDRESS
THE DIGNITY AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR SCHOLARSHIP.
BY REV J. M. HARRIS, D. D., PASTOR M. E. CHURCH, KANSAS CITY.
There are certain qualifications without which no one can hope to become a great scholar or even a good student.
Six things are necessary for scholarship, viz.: Ability, energy, firmness of decision, iron clad will, profoundness of thought and opportunity.
A close analysis of these varieties will reveal the secret of success in the schoolroom and in the world.
1st. One must have ability, and by ability I mean power to do the work from a mental and physical standpoint.
Some students have not the mental capacity nor the physical ability to become scholars, they are weak, nervous and excitable.
The fact is some people have not the brain power to do the work in the schoolroom.
There is a quality in Railroad as in everything else.
Track, Trains and Time are the essentials.

EDITOR CONSERVATOR, — Dea Sir. Please allow me space in the columns of your paper to mention the enjoyable evening spent on last Saturday among the members of Burleigh lodge No. 29, K. of P. while celebrating their fourth anniversary. Several of the fair Calantheans of Marshall Court No. 127 were present and helped to add merriment to the occasion.
The principal of Banneker school, St. Louis, delivered a short address on the "Negro." His ability to cope with the situation was thoroughly demonstrated by the masterly skill in which he told them common place things, and there is no doubt if his advice is heeded, it will tend to ameliorate the condition of the colored man.
Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd of St. Louis, delivered a short address on "Pythianism in Missouri." To see is to believe; to have heard the cause of Pythianism so fully discussed and its growth in our great commonwealth, so clearly shown, has convinced the most skeptical. Grand Lecturer, F. J. Brown, delivered an address on his "Trip Through Southeast Missouri." He gave a glowin' description of the lodges visited and concluded with a very fine literary production.
Prof. W. A. Gunnell of Desoto, delivered an address on the history of Burleigh Lodge No. 29, K. of P. He showed himself master of the situation and left us to infar, although we are No. 29 in the Pythian constellation of our great commonwealth, that he desires us to be No. 1 when we enroll on the supreme roster above.
Last bur by no means least, Miss F. D. Baker, Farmington's most noble assistant teacher, delivered a short address on behalf of the Calantheans. Her remarks were very appropriate, and leads us to believe that her ardent desire is that Pythianism my live forever and Calantheans may never die.
This article is sent to your paper by request of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd.
Yours in F. C. & B.

The Colored Baptist church will soon be without a pastor. H. J, Burton, V. D. M., of Jefferson City, for five years the pastor, resigned September 24. The church prospered during his stay. The B. Y.

A GOOD REQUEST.

RELIEVED FROM PAIN
Mrs Ann Flynn Succumbs to Death, after a Long Serious Illness.
Oh Sunday evening, September 10, Mrs. Ann Flynn, an estimable citizen of this city, was made a victim of death. She had been a sufferer from a complication of diseases for several months. At the time of her death, her daughters and sisters were near to witness the final sad scenes. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from Taylor's Chapel, Rev Richard Davis officiating.
Her body was borne tenderly to the city cemetery, where it was interred by the side of her late husband, Henry Flynn.
Mrs F'ynn was a Virginian by birth but was brought to LaFayette county, this state, in her early womanhood. Here she remained until the rebellion. About this time she moved to Sedalia, at that time, a mere hamlet. Soon after her arrival and settlement here, she met, loved and married Henry Flynn, then in the zenith of young manhood. He preceded her to the grave six years ago. Two daughters, Mesdames Hettie Backner and Della Williams are survivors of this happy twain. These and two sons by a former husband are the bereaved, except her sisters Mesdames Emily Marshall of this city, Jane Ward of Salt Pond and Ellen Hayes of St Louis.
Being industrious, patient, very honest and God fearing in her deportment, caused her to be highly respected by all classes in this

An Irishman had just "come over" and, being hungry, went to one of the sweltest hotels in New York. When the waiter appeared to take his order he said: "Bring me the best you have."
After being gone a few minutes the writer returned with a glass of water, a bunch of celery and a lobster.
When about time to check him up the waiter returned to the customer, asking why he had not eaten his meal.
"Well," replied the man, "I did drink the water and smelled of the beuquet, but I'll be durned if I could go the bug."
