The NEGRO EDITOR Support For Negro Jo Forcefully 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.

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 CEIVED TE LINE OF FURS SKIRTS BLANKETS FLANNELS FLANNELETTES of Foreign and Home and Children's Furnishings scriptions.

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.

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 ```markdown ``` 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, R. H. McDonald, Formerly of Higginsville, Mo.

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. W. L.

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. --- son. He writes us on the 17 stating that he, mother, sisters and brothers left Muskogee on the 1 to locate in Lawrence, where they will enjoy superior school advantages. 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. THE M. K. @ T. R'y ("The KATY") THE has that quality----a good thing to remembhr when you travel Southwest. If you are in a hurry, use THE KATY FLYER Others are subscribing for the SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSEVATOR.

Entertainment 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. ROCKPORT 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. P. U. is doing good work in the church. Miss Emma M.

We anticipate big things from Holden this year Miss Ardonia Abbott has begun her second year at Windsor, under very auspicious circumstances. All she needs to be told is to watch the cupids. Miss Lilian Martin has already enrolled 41 pupils at Georgetown. If she needs more, we can supply them on short notice. Prof. William Hobbs, who has taught several terms at Penny, has been retained as a member of the Marshall public school faculty for this term. Hobbs is a former graduate of the noted Hannibal high school and, is an energetic schoolman, through and through. Miss Alice Holmes has begun her second year's work at Smithton. Children nd parents ofthata community love her very dearly. Prof P C Givens, over at Waverly, is putting energy and push in his work.

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 Conservator," Central Missouri that devotes week to local race events.

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." --- NOTICE.
