CHAIRMAN NIEDRINGHAUS IN HIS CAMERON ADDRESS TELLS HOW TO RETAIN IT. The campaign for Republican control must be fought out in the hills and valleys, and on the plains of Missouri. We cannot carry Missouri at Washington. No one more than I rejoices when a good Republican gets office, but I want those who get them to earn them by party service. The local organization and the people of a community should control their own appointments; when the people understand this our best Republicans will be on the committees, and this will make a better campaign, and that is what every republican in the state is demanding. You should nominate on your county, district and state tickets, clean, responsible, strong men. This is just as necessary in democratic counties as anywhere else, for it is by the For the Ea Mrs. Richard Sanders will Hair Goods.

We want them to vote. We want our biggest, our brainiest and our most conservative men in the next legislature. We must there pass just laws and accord equal protection to capital and labor. The rights of the people must be preserved, but we must invite, not repel the investment of money to develop our wonderful resources. Capital will not g, where it is persecuted. Our mines are rich, but they have not have not been dug. Our factories are many, but we need them in every hamlet and on every hillside.

We must encourage men of means to build railroads, to employ labor, to invest in our lands and securities by an attitude of absolute fairness and protection of their interests, such as they demand, and to which they are justly entitled. A square deal for money; a fair deal for labor and just laws for all equally enforced, has been our platform for many years, and we must make good. I have endeavored to be of benefit to the republican party while I have had the Bonus to be its executive head. This has required both thought and time.

I do not want to see the next state convention spend two days in electing a state chairmau and two hours in nominating a state ticket. I trust, therefore, that the selection of a state chairman will be left to the state committee. We are sure to win, for no matter how much they try, the democrats can never get together, and the republicans have victory in their own hands if they will go to the polls. We are going to carry the state, we are going to make a new Missouri, and a splendid, conservative, fair-dealing commonwealth will arise from the ashes of a discredited, populistic, democratic Missouri. If there is any truth in signs, I suppose everyone was glad to hear it Monday night that winter is over. --- Miss Nellie Crouch spent a few days in Rich Hill last week.

It recent reply to a letter addressed to him by the Hon. Nicholas Culles, proprietor of the TOPEKA PLAIN-DEALER, relative to the Negroes of the East, North and West attending the Negro Business League, at Atlanta, Ga., during the month of August, is worthy of the thoughtful and unprejudiced consideration of every Negro in America. The four significant points involved are viz: I have read carefully what you say regarding the business league meeting in Atlanta. There are several points that I want to put before you. First—Granting for the minute, for the sake of argument, that all you say is true regarding conditions in Atlanta, is there not another point of view to be considered? Do you not think that the bringing of a large number of intelligent, prosperous and cultured class of colored people from all over the country into such a city as Atlanta, will tend to shame the class of white people who inflict indignities upon us and will open their eyes to the fact that colored people are making such tremendous progress that the South cannot afford to attempt to humiliate them much longer. Second—Ought not our Northern and Western brethren to bear in mind that if many of us who live in the South can endure these afflictions during ten or twelve months in the year, they might share them for a few days in the year. Third—I believe that in going to Atlanta we will be doing real missionary work, not only among the colored people, but among the white people. Fourth—Many of the conditions described in your letter are much exaggerated. I really feel that when we get to Atlanta the main hospitalization that we are going to What the writer has stated abstraction to be placed on the present South today. If we of other sections southern brother, we must a social education, religion and society, leave are really race patriots, we can suff point. No wiser sentiment was ea stood to conquer. We fear that the then selves to be a great deal larger they feel themselves too big to be To change cond tions we must meet of representative negroes among the conservative whites. What the writer has stated above is the truest and sanest construction to be placed on the present conditions as they obtain in the South today. If we of other sections of the country would help our southern brother, we must associate ours with him in basins, education, religion and society, leaving politics severely alone. If we are really race patriots, we can suffer some indignities to carry a point. No wiser sentiment was ever uttered than that one should stoop to conquer. We fear that there are some negroes who feel themselves to be a great deal larger than they really are. In fact they feel themselves too big to be useful. To change conditions we must come in touch with them. Every meeting of representative negroes in the South wins friends from among the conservative whites. SUPREMACY OF THE CAUCAS.

The accommodations for the colored passengers, as I understand it, are in everyway satisfactory, including restaurant arrangements, but I confess that the separate entrance is a disgrace and a humiliation. I am going to use my utmost endeavor between now and the meeting of the league to have this distinction done away with, and I want to say to you that if you will get as many people to write me letters as possible protesting against the humiliation it will help. I very much hope, however, that no being will prevent Kansons coming in large numbers to the Atlanta meeting. You will remember at one time when Mr Douglass was forced to ride in a cattle car, somebody tried to cheer him up by telling him that it was a disgrace for him to be humiliated in that manner. Mr Douglass replied that it was impossible for him to be humiliated. We must take something of the same attitude when fighting the kind of battles and passing through the kind of difficulties that we are now waging war against. You of the North and West must come to our rescue, and you do not know what a great encouragement it will be to us to know that our brethren from a distance area least willing to share our troubles for a few days in each year. above is the truest and sanest coneent conditions as they obtain in the tons of the country would help ouriate ourselves with him in basin, saving politics severely alone.

Every is in the South wins friends from If the republicans are to nominate a ticket, it is hoped that only capable men will be chosen to bear our standards. Our colored delegates should see to it that no man secures their endorsement, until he has given them assurances that he will try to secure better accommodations on the North Side. We are tired of ploughing through the mud without side walks or even lights. We want better water services for the protection of our homes from fire. Negro citizen are now concerned about these things and expect our representatives to do something for the public good as well as for their private interests. Its up to our representatives. · VERSAILLES Arthur Mosby, of Tipton, was here Wednesday. Thomas Redmon, who has been employed in Sedalia, returned home Friday.

THE ATTENDANCE LAW. There are many inquires concerning the enforcement of the compulsory education law. A few of them have been answered by the state superintendent as follows: 1. The home instruction given in lieu of the school must be regular and during the usual school hours every day equivalent to the instruction given in school. 2. The court, not the teacher'school clerk or truant officer, may excuse. The court need not excuse children on account of their living two and one-half miles from the school. Able-hodied healthy childred go further than that without considering it a hardship. 3. A child may be excused by a court if it can not procure proper clothing, but not on account of inability to buy books. The school board must furnish books. It is hoped that there will be a charitable organization in every school district to furnish clothing when necessary. 4. It is the duty of the Attendance officer, or district clerk in a district not having attendance officer, to prosecute parents who fail to comply with the law after due notice has been given. 5. A parent who thinks he has good and sufficient excuse for not sending his child to school should not wait to be notified. He should secure written excuse from the court and have it ready to present when notified. The law does not contemplate that court wait for prosecution. Secure excuse and stop prosecution. 6. The attendance law is not in conflict with section 9794 which gives school boards authority to suspend or expel pupils from school. When the conduct of a child is such as to demoralize the school he should be sent to the state reformatory. No child should be turned out of school for slight infraction of the rules.
