Slatter of the Department of Publicity and Promotion, of the Negro Young Peoples' Christian and Educational Congress to be held in Washington, D.C., in July of this year, submits some interesting News for our patrons: WASHINGTON, D. C., April 11, 1906. The country has not forgotten the first session of the Negro Young Peoples' Christian and Educational Congress, which was held in Atlanta in August four years ago. That was a mammoth affair, and although it was by no means perfect, it did accomplish some of the things of real appreciable and substantial merit to our people. It showed that the Negro was not hopelessly divided, and that he could unite on essentials, forgetting for the time the non-essentials which mark the differences of our various organizations. Bringing 7,000 intelligent Negroes into Atlanta, the Gate City of the South, and placing them as it were, on dress parade, it presented to the white south, and indeed to the country, real object lessons of Negro progress, and made the impression that the Negro as a race was advancing. And, then the young Negro received such encouragement from the very name of the organization. It was an inspiration to him, and on the program he received such recognition that made him feel the leaders of the race did not Have you de If so take them to Dr. T. J.

This it did between the covers of the "United Negro," which has gone into twenty thousand homes, and is there serving its useful purpose. Now this Washington conference will do all this and more. The experience gained by the last session will necessarily make this a better and greater meeting than the one held in At'anta. It will accomplish some more immediate results, and at least, some of them will be readily seen. We make the mistake of expecting immediate results. Immediate results were never attained by movements of world wide importance. Under ordinary circumstances, it would have taken a meeting of the import of the Negro Young Peoples' Christian an!

Some good work has been done in placing this Congress before the people, and the responses have been unanimous in favor of the great movement. The leading men of the A M E church, the A M E Z church, the Baptist Congregational church, Presbyterian and other churches as well as the principal agencies doing religious and educational work among our people, are thoroughly in accord with this movement.

It is going to secure the proper consideration at the hands of the Negro American press as it did in Atlantas four years ago, and it is the hope of the promoters that some plan that can be easily worked shall beadopted, whereby this Conference, aside from the helpful influence of the immediate session, will be helpful to the Negro preachers and teachers. It is also going to seek out some concerted plan of action in connection with the secret fraternal societies and existing race organizations. It hopes to raise sufficient funds to have a paid representative, whose one particular business it will be to ferret out and place before the public the bright side of the race question, and thus crystalize sentiment in favor of the Negro. SPRINGFIELD LINCHING. Observations of a Prominent Citizen. Fearless Leadership and effective Organization a Crying Necessity. In this time that tries men's souls, I thought it a good idea to say to the Pythian Army thru-out great state of "Grand Old Missouri," that the Pythians of Springfield, including the Sisters of Pythagoras Court No. 16, are yet alive and have survived the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds. A sad and damaging, yea more, a disgraceful, extremely savage and barbarous lynching occurred here Saturday night, that Springfield cannot out live for the next Century to come. While the people were arranging to celebrate "Easter," and gladden the hearts of Sunday School children with the usual Easter eggs and hear the story of the resurrection, a dastardly, savage and blood-thirsty mob of Negro hating men and boys, from adjacent counties and the city of Greater Springfield, were forming and by 9 o'clock in the evening ere the people were thru shopping, this motley crowd of blood- hounds, marched thru the public square to the county jail, forced their way in, battered down doors, broke open cells, secured two young Negro men, whose guilt had not been proven and dragging them to the public square, hung them right under the statue, the "Goddess of Liberty," and then burned them; not being satisfied with this merciless sacrifice of human life, they marched back to the jail and secured their third victim, who met the same cruel punishment.

At this writing Springfield is in no little excitement. There are 3 companies of the State Militia here and are jeered and hissed at by smypathizers of the mob, but it is said that the soldiers are here to permit no more up rising nor loss of life or property. The Negroes thru-out the city are considerably worked up and many talk of leaving the city for good. But unto whom cr where shall they go? Since the dominant race are in control everywhere. The need of the hour is organization and competent leadership, then all the rest follow. RETRIBUTION WILL COME- St. Louis, April 17, '06. Editor Conservator: The crimes committed in Spring field last Saturday night and Easter Sunday morning, and which the general press mildly terms "lynching," are too dastardly outrageous to be fittingly described in any language. It would dignify it to call it a butchery, and it would be a slandler on the ignorant heathen to call it "Cannibalism." The crime is the more heinous and appalling for the reason it was committed by the present day generation of the Caucasian race, who had every advantage of education and Christian civilization. Think of it the spectacle of a large crowd of civilized (?) American men and boys, in a proud American city, assembled on the public square surrounding the towering statue of the Goddess of Liberty, shouting, cursing, joking and laughing while burning the half dead bodies of three Afro-Americans, who were unarmed and helpless. Oh ye mothers, and ministers of the gospel are these the fruit of your labors? Are these the husbands, sons and religious communicants of which you so proudly boast? Oh! the hideous mockery of the scene itself will be a lasting blot on the escutheon of Missouri, already stained by the foul outrage The only Negro Paper in Central Missouri that devotes columns of space, every week to local race events. Any information relative to news or business of the SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSERVATOR may be had by addressing W. H. HUSTON. Editor and Publisher. "Sic transit gloria Mundo." NO. 46. at Pierce City. View it, ye lords of creation, the lofty statue of Liberty in the center of the public square; a howling, cursing mob of America's proud citizens surrounding its base, while in their midst stands three helpless unarmed Afro-Americans. Wood is brought in large quantities, a fire is made, and these poor helpless human beings with their clothing saturated with oil, and ropes around their necks are hung to the base of the Goddess of Liberty, after which their bodies only half dead, are cast into the fire. On the very threshold of Easter Sunday, when countless thousands were preparing to celebrate the anniversary of the Resurrection of Christ, there was committed in the public square of Springfield, one of the foulest crimes ever perpetrated in a Christian country, and that too by men and boys to whom must be committed the future of this American government. Look upon the above described scene, you of the proud Anglo-Saxon race who boast of your enlightenment and civilization, and then bow your heads in very shame. Is this safe training for America's future citizens and rulers? Are these samples of the future Missionaries to teach the heathen? The citizens of this state must bear their share of the shame and responsibility for their outrage upon humanity, and a just God will surely visit swift retribution upon the perpetrators of the Springfield horror, which must go down in history as the Crime of Missouri, for, "Whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap."

The Greatest Sufferers From Mob Violence. With aching hearts and almost breathless awe, many of us have read of the appalling events that transpired at Springfield, Mo., during the past seven days. To us this intelligence brings additional horrors when we are more fully informed of the overtness of the mob followers. Negro-Americans justly feel humiliated, crushed and outraged by such outbreaks of anarchy, rapine, arson and subversion of established laws and customs. We must be patient, however, and long suffering. If such horrors as the Springfield, Ohio, and Springfield, Mo., offenses against the dignity of the state, the sanctity of the Church and the peaceful trend of society, should cause, and it certainly does, our blood to boil, let us not loose our heads. Be calm and thoughtful. The eyes of the world are upon us with as keen a scrutiny as it is upon the mob-afflicted Jews of Russia or the outraged Christians of Turkey. Other races in other countries are mobbed with attendant atrocities the same as we are mobbed here in America. Do not for once think that the CONSERVATOR condones or acquiesces in mob-law. It denounces it as revolutionary, un-American, cowardly, unholy, damnable, anarchical, barbarous and too contemptable to be condoned by an American citizen. While we denounce, the mob spirit grows and as a result of it's development communities and states suffer. Who, then, is the greatest sufferer from mob violence the victims of the mob, the participants in the mob or the communities where the mobs operate? Reasoning from general lines, we find that the victims of mobs have committed some grave offense or laid themselves or their associates under suspicion following which the hot heads and fire brands begin to talk loud and long of delayed justice. (Too often have criminals been shielded by political polls or ties of consanguinity from the justice that their offenses merited). And before the conservative citizens know it a mob has been organized and wreaked its fiendish work. If the victim should happen to be a Negro all Negroes' lives and property are placed in jeopardy. They suffer greatly for a time. But ultimately the law-abiding citizens, white & black, become aroused and, by a concert of action, restore order. Hence their suffering is greatly minimized by the sympathetic co-operation of his honorable fellow citizens.

Of course, any human being with ordinary sense would nothave taken such chances but the “bad nigger” has not or- dinary sense. He is a pest that who does his infiny'e harm, for it ishethat brings dowaalltheodium of the whites, Thebad nigger’ is more of anecemy tothe Negro: es than the whiter, as intolerable jas he is to the latter.
