Three hundred years ago the trained Englishmen came to this country and with his education has made this great and powerful nation. Booker T Washington, though a Nego, education makes him one of the foremost men of the world. Blessings everywhere await him. With an educated citizenship the greatest blessings of the age will flow around us. Great good will be brought to all. If each parent sends his children to school properly law-abiding citizens will greet von everywhere. Note the great part education played in the making of the lives of the Greeksand Romans. Every man was educated. At Sparta, for military service, at Athens for complete manhood. This general education made them a powerful race. We have many notable men of influence such as Page, Vernon, Scruggs, Yates and Miller. These with many others have done much for the education of the Negro youths, which is a blessing not only to the man but to humanity. If many others will follow the path they have so eagerly trodden, this great race problem will be solved. Many years ago the Indians inhabited this country rich in all the elements of a great people and a country but he got nothing of it. Ignorance led to his eternal undoing. Look back many years ago. You see the dark cloud of slavery hanging over our country. The Negro was then bound in chains and lashed with the whip of a cruel master, without any hope, desire or ambition. No intelligent people can be so enslaved. Ignorance of the law of health and wealth leads everywhere to misfortune. It is at this moment sapping the life of the race. An old English writer has said: "It is better for a boy to be unborn than untaught." An educated people are everywhere a conquering people. For example take the Russian aud Japanese. The Japanese, a nation greatly devoted to education, about 95 per cent of them being educated, while about 95 per cent of the Russians are ignorant, Still more the Japanese a race small of stature, belonging to the darker --- --- That country alone is happy whose people are intelligent, virtuous and busy. The aim of every government should be to make its people happy, prosperous and powerful. The American government perhaps the best government the world has seen thus far, truly seeks to secure to each member of society his fullest enjoyment of all the good of society. The surest security any people may have for all that is good is broad learning. Not only that but an intelligent citizenship is absolutely necessary to every free government. In the beginning of the government this idea was all important. It entered the very life of the constitution. Let us read the preamble: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for common defense, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America." A perfect union can only exist among an intelligent people. Nowwhere does history show that justice has been secured by ignorance, but the opposite is true. Harmony and tranquility is the home of trained and virtuous people. No others can enjoy such blessings. Does anyone believe the general welfare can be promoted by ignorance? Did ignorance ever secure that blessing to anybody, or to any people? Yet our government was formed to confer these very blessings upon each of its citizens. It is plain that all those great principles set forth in the preamble are the inheritance, the privilege and enjoyments of the educated, the cultured, the refined. The very government itself is secure only in these qualities of her citizens, therefore the government should provide means whereby each child should be so trained that he enters in the body politic, capable of not only enjoying, but suited to improve them, defend them and transmit them unimpaired to others. Not only should the government provide these means but has a right to compel proper use of these means. By compelling proper use of all educational privileges is another way of protecting society from the vicious. The purposes of an education races, with a country little more than twice the size of Missouri, while Russia the largest country of the globe, with perhaps the best developed men physically, belonging to the most haughty race. But Cossacks and Russians, the most terrible army marshalled in modern times, went down before educated Japan. with great hmillity. However indifferent this looks the far remains the same that some can more for a few dimes to be made today than they do about the usefulness of their children to society which they must help make. Some parents, I must confess indulge their childreu too much. If the child does not care to a tend school and will frame son Education preserves one from evil habits, it creates for us new fields of pleasure. It preserves one from evil thoughts. Every new appliance or discovery enlarges the field of research, every step up the mountain of knowledge furnishes a better view of the unexpected domain of science, leads you into this realm of learing and spends your energies on the ideal. Education provides innocent enjoyments. The great social problems of the day demand well trained minds as well as the highest of native ability. For we are essentially social beings and no system is complete which ignores this element of our nature. But all refined natures will seek the ideal, seek the ideal social amusements as well as in business. Governments whose people are educated are safe and prosperous. This is proved here among us. The United States is a government that educates its people safe and prosperous. In order that every person may acquire an education, the law has established public schools. The aim of free education is to benefit the state rather than the individual. He that is truly educated will respect the rights of others, will appropriate to himself what is just and right, will reverence and defend the institutions under which the joys of life flow to him. Therefore the surest means of a government perpetuating itself is an educated citizenship. Parents who have not been interested in education will open their hearts as the state opens the doors of the school house and have their children educated. The time is coming when every young man or woman who goes out to battle with the conflicts of life must have some training for those conflicts. Let us therefore use every means to make education universal. Since the state provides means for free education its right to enforce the use of these means will not be questioned by sound reasoning. And hence we have agreed that the real object of free public education is to benefit the state rather than the individual, children must be educated. The state must see that the elements which make ii permanent are properly developed. Education is one of the most potent. Education here undermeans its most useful. That useful form is the ability to do some of the world's work. To do some kind of work well and continuously. I know there are some parents who are not able to educate their children as they should be, for them we have sympathy. But there are many parents have children growing up in ignorance because the parents haven't interest enough to compel their attendance at school. Selfishness of the ignorance as shown by some parents who deprive their children of education still urges stronger means. We are warranted in coming to the conclusion that national good can not be trusted to the whims of the individual parents. Some parents permit their children to grow up in ignorance to manhood and womanhood and see them compelled to fall in the rear of all the strong and useful with great hmllility. However indifferent this looks the fact remains the same that some care more for a few dimes to be made today than they do about the usefulness of their children to society which they must help make. Some parents, I must confess, indulge their childreu too much. If the child does not care to attend school and will frame some kind of an excuse for not going to work will excuse them. This weakness of the parent has its tearful reward. From it is recruited the idly vicious of society. He will make excuses from day to day until after a while he stops attending school, because the parents have failed to exercise their influence. Such cases are sad, sad indeed. Nine cases out of ten the boy or girl becomes indolent, without any purpose and at last vicious, drifting to destruction, carrying society down with him. Dies a burden to the state and humanity. Compulsory education is the only means of securing education to the masses. Our race most especially cannot afford to be idle, We have everything to When you wear the B. Kuppenheimer SUITS. You have the best made. If you want an Up-To-Date suit, go at once to E. E. JOHNSTON. 207 Ohio Street. gain, nothing to lose. Great is the advantage to us if we all could see the subject in the same clear light, and since it is a fact that we all do not attach the same importance to it, it has become a law that children must go to school. If the parents have not enough interest in their welfare, then the law must take them in hand. Such should have been the case years ago, and perhaps by this time the state as a whole could have seen great results, and since the public schools are given free the compusory education will be the cause of this great object not being defeated. I think I voice the sentiment of all the promoters of education when I say that a more beneficial law could not have been passed, for it will make men and women of many boys and girls who otherwise will be lost. I see great prospects for the state if the compulsory educational laws are enforced. I see great educators arising. I see bright lights springing up and causing education to spread. Classmates, let us as we leave the walls of Old Fred Douglass school exalt education. Now that we have finished the course prescribed by this school, it is only a beginning of what we Carefully and Promptly Looked After. N. B. When mailing Mail Orders, mention this paper. PYTHIAN GRAND LODGE. Kansas City Lodges and Courts Preparing to Entertain Delegates and Visitors in in a Royal Manner. On July 24, when the Pythian special arrives at the Union station in Kansas City, Mo., all on board will find an old time welcome awaiting them. Dr J Edwsrd Perry, Prof H H' Graham, Prof D N Crosthwait, the "Old Roman," James P Maynard and enthusiastic Kansas City Pythians are bending every effort to make perfect their arrangements for caring for the 22nd Convocation of the Missouri Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias. Their efforts are being crowned with marvellous success. Many features have been thoroughly arranged and the public will be completely informed of what is in store for them if they visit Kansas City during Grand Lodge week. Camp Butler, where the Uniform Rank will abide, is situated in one of the best parka in the city, easily reached by electric car service. Visitors will be furnished guides so that they may not experience any difficulty in going to and from important centers. Convention hall, having an immense seating capacity, has been secured for the competitive drills and grand Pythian ball on the 26th of July. No Pythian, residing near Kansas City, should fail to witness the Convention hall affair on the above mentioned date. Two hundred dollars will be awarded in cash prizes to the competitors in this drill contest. Music for this occasion will be furnished by the celebrated Regimental Band—25 pieces, of St Louis aided by the recently organized Pythian Band of Kansas City consisting of 22 pieces. Other amusements that will both delight and entertain the public will be plentifully provided. At Camp Butler each day you may see company and battalion drill, guard mount, dress parade and hear band concerts hope to learn in the future. For as one writer has said, "A little learning is a dangerous thing. Drink deep or taste not that epiarian spring." If so greater results will be obtained than ever before. And as the poet says: "From the lowest depth poverty, to the highest heights of fame, From obscureness of position, to bright and shining name, From a mass of common peole, who compose a common clan, You can earn your way to greatness, by the educated plan." every morning and evening. Social functions will be in evidence everywhere. A. B. J EDWARD PERRY, M. D. Chairman of Kansas city arrangement committee. A great Pythian leader of the West.

Pettis county citizens can have our compulsory educational. Education is not a narrow party that damands the attention of all desire good and helpful government. Too many children, in Sedalia, leave school too early in life. Pones in charge, must be required to trot. Unless something is done to children, how may we anticipate thezens of them. On page 1 of this edition will be found a complete reproduction of the graduating oration or Mr Arthur Diggs of Columbia, Mo. This youth presents his theme in a most thoughtful and convincing manner. His ideas are rightly conceived and clearly set forth. No argument presented is in the least opaque or sophisticated. But every one is transparent, easily seen through, sensible and practical—capable of being executed. Does the state educate the child for the child's interest alone without considering the welfare of the commonwealth? No. Republics educate their youth for the good of the state. Education is an absolute necessity, wherever the people, all of them, have a say in the formulation and interpretation of the laws governing them. Ignorance leads to servitude; intelligence directs the way to freedom. If we could, by mild and gentle methods, lead the people to see the importance of educating their offspring, there would be no necessity for coercive laws. But too many are indifferent on this important subject. Compulsory educational measures will have to be brought to bear upon them at once. The welfare of the child demands it, and is necessary for the maintenance of our state institutions and an auspicious destiny urges us to do so in order that we may be to the world about us, what it would have us be. Our present educational law, bearing upon compulsory school attendance, is the result brought about by the efforts of one of our fellow-townsmen, Assemblyman, E. E. Johnston, who has the interest of the State, as a whole, and the child, as an individual constituent of it, at heart. He believes in popular education so strongly that nothing can turn him from his purpose of strengthening the law, already enacted, bearing upon this phase of our State governmeet. It is his desire to so strengthen this law that no one, who is able to do what its mandates directs, can nullify it by evasion or inactivity. Pettis county citizens of all parties should be anxious to have our compulsory educational laws made more nearly perfect. Education is not a narrow party consideration. It is a proposition that damands the attention of all parties and all men, who love and desire good and helpful government. Too many children, in Sedalia and elsewhere, are permitted to leave school too early in life. Parents, having these thoughtless ones in charge, must be required to bring them under better control. Unless something is done toward clearing our street of loafing children, how may we anticipate the making of good and useful citizens of them. THE NEGRO IN POLITICS.

These minor positions require only a few to fill and it does not much preparation to make one elegible. In many instances those given such positions become less serviceable to the community than ever, because they too often become chronic office seekers. When the attempts to play politics for official preferment alone, he makes a mistake. Indirectly, however, there is much in politics for the energetic, industrious and self reliant Negro. He may, by wisely using influence, secure some legislation that will remove some of the restriction that now hampers him. To accomodilish results in politics, does not mean that the Negro must quit work to stand on street corners to argue governmental policies with vagrant whites and loafing negroes. Let us eliminate some of these corner philosophers by the substitution of the laborer from the farm, snop, quarry, and useful vocations. JEFFERSON CITY.

Since then have felt ourselves to be culpable because we should have presented the facts and those two boys to pay or put off. Too much is being taught our boys about lying and duplicity. Another like attempt and we shall cry out. --- We are putting out some excel lent certificates for the Negro Business League of this city. This organization will soon be placed properly before the public. It is our opinion that the sooner its aims and objects are known the better it will be for all, because it is based upon good business prin cibles so simple and practicable that any one with an ounce of com mon sense will be thoroughly able to understand its workings. Rev. J Will Jackson, D D., pastor of Ashbury chapel, Kansas City, Mo., whose family resides at Sedalia, prayed the opening prayer and delivered the diplomas to the Lincoln High School graduates on the 15. The commencement exercises were held in the Central School auditorium of that city. Dr. Jackson's remarks were very impressively received by all who had the pleasure of hearing him. Prof C C Hubbard of Paris, Mo., installed the officers of U B F and S M T lodges here on the 21. Just prior to the installation services he delivered a masterful address, well illuminated with thought and refined common sense. Prof Hubbard is one of those Negroes, who believes in the future possibilities of his race and in its ability to do many of the ordinary things now that other races are successfully doing.

Mr Davis joined in, after he fully realized what it all meant, with a hearty good will By managing his wife's phonograph, he attracted the attention of many passers-by, who hesitated to listen eagerly. Dr Jackson and Editor Huston lingered and listened so hungrily that Mrs. Davis, without any difficulty, persuaded them to enter her parlor, join them in partaking of light refreshments. All present had a delightfu' time. Many nice pres ents were received by the host. Among them was a beautiful chiffonier given by his wife. Mes dames Morrill and Penn carried off all of the prizes. How about Sedolia? There is plenty of work for the alley birds, saloon bums and professional crap shooters among us and every one of them should be made to do it. The vagrant loafing, lazy Negro will steal and commit all sorts of crime. The entire race has charged up to it the wick edness and criminality of this most unworthy class and it should for that reason exercise great diligence in putting these industrial recreants to work, and keeping them at it. — Nashville Clarion. ```markdown ``` --- Subordinate Lodges Uniform Rank Ladies' Court Endowment A "GOOD THING" FOR YOU.
