The Observance of Easter. Easter is a day which has quite a history connected with it. Its observance brings to our minds the returrection of our blessed Lord. It should be a day of spiritual awakening in every community no matter the size. Every teacher should be able on this morn to tell their pupils the facts and history connected there with. It should be a day of praise, for in its observance we rejoice that man's redemption is complete. In some localities the observance is an abuse to a very great degree. It oftimes occurs that the child puts more stress upon the greed of costume for that occasion than upon the fervent rendation of its part on the program. Here, perhaps is a girl who will absent herself from school one month prior to Easter in order to have a costume that will compete with another girl, that is she realizes the fact to have it means to get it by working for it hence. she goes to work.

Here perhaps, is a young boy who thinks, to be thoroughly acknowledged in the society realm on that day he must have a new suit, hence, we find him leaving school for employment. If not that some poor mother in order to have her child look as well as any other child no matter what the financial circumstances of the latter's parents, goes in debt to decorate the child with the latest fad. Labor is honorable, but how many mothers and fathers labor to their sorrow. The Twentieth Century is a time that calls for improvement. It is to be hoped that the youth of this day will put the more stress upon the shaping of their intellects. If we, as a race, allow ourselves to be kept in servitude six days and then, on the sixth night, give every penny we have earned, back to the employer for something we could do without, just so long will Negro proprietorship in the various business establishments be limited. The Negro youth must be taught that for his race to ever be what it should be, depends greatly upon how and where the hard earned coinsare invested. Then let us celebrate Easter as God would have us do, and remember it is dangerous to decorate the head with such costly hats and dare the brain to assert its personality. It is right to make special preparations for costuming on this occasion, but let us put greater stress upon the spiritual observance lest we win. DANE E. BAKER SAY.

Kansas City, Mo., April 9- Rev J. M. Harris, D. D., pastor of our Burn's Chapel, was recently elected vice president of the Methodist Episcopal Minisfers' Meeting of this city. It is said that he is the first Colored minister to secure high honor or sr recognition. The Meeting is composed of some of the leading white ministers of the city, having only three colored members. Dr. Harris is a young man with push and pluck. He has begun his fifth year's work at Burn's Chapel with renewed energy. Brief Sketch of the Late Rev. John Johnson's Life. Rev, John Johnson was born in Saline county, Missouri, some 69 years ago and died at his home near Houstonia, Pettis county, in the same state, Bpril, 6th. He was married to Miss Clarissa Payne, during the year of 1868. To them were born seven children, five of whom survive him. He embraced religion and joined the church at Sedalia 38 years ago. After his conversion, he felt called to preach and was granted Local Preacher's License many years ago. It was his constant desire to do all he could to aid in the spread of the gospil of our Christ. He filled acceptably all the offices in the local church, be ginning as steward, trustee, class leader and serving as an annual conference delegate. He was indeed a husband and a neighbor in the truest sense of the word. He died, as he had lived, in the full triumphs of a Christian faith. A loving wife and five boys are left to mourn his departure. "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which None Ever Wake to Weep." Mr. Johnson was one Pettis county's most successful Negro farmers and held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. -JOHN H. JONES, Warreusburg, Mo, RAILROADS INCONTESTOVER EXCURSION RATES. Three Groups of Lines at War. an Result of Homeseekers' Rates To Different Sections of the Country. The three groups of railroads representing the Northwest, the Southeast and the Southwest are engaged in a three-cornered war over homeseekers' excursions. Fuel was added to the flames yesterday by a proposition which the Rock Island submited to make homeseekers's rates effective to the Southwest every Tuesday in the month. If the plan is negatived by the Western Passenger Association lines, independent action will be taken by the Rock Island. John Sebastian, speaking for the latter road yesterday, said: "The Rock Island and Frisco ```markdown ``` TO BEAUTY. BROS., H SHOE STORE, STREET. ARMSTRONG Rev.

We believe the location of settlers is vastly more important than the loss of a few dollars through the manipulation of cheap rate tickets. The lines I represent have no objections to any basis of home-seekees' rates which may be inaugurated into other territories, but so far as the Southwest is concerned we shall insist upon protecting that territory. by as liberal inducements as are offered by the lines in any other territory." Trouble of Long Standing The trouble which has grown serious, had its origin several years ago when the Rock Island and other lines began to put in low rates in the interest of developing the Southwest. For years the western roads had accepted tenders of rates made by the southeastern roads with a view to colonizing the South and Southeast. When the western lines tendered low rates in the interest of their territory the southeastern roads demurred and have ever since been calling for a conference. Such a conference was held in St Louis last week, at which the southeastern interests asked the southwestern roads to take out their low rates, applying from Memphis territory. Objection was especially made to the round-trip rate of of 75 per cent of the one-way fare which is put into effect during the fall months. All roads except the Rock Island expressed a willingness to raise the rates. In the meantime the northwestern lines had given notice that they would run homeseekers' excursions every Thesday in the month instead of every third Tuesday, and the Rock Island declared it would not permit the Southwest to be sidetracked for any other territory. It is rumored the Rock Island's next move will be to extend its cheap rates to the Birmingham territory, which has refrained from doing hitherto in consideration of the southeastern situation.
