EDITOR CONSERVATOR: Ourwork in the southwest part of the Sedalia district is in very good shape. All the brethren have started upon the new year with bright prospects for a successful year's work. Clintou—Bro W M Divers has started in at this place very well. We held our first quarterly meeting May 10th and 20th. The meeting was a success in every way. The missionaries collection on Easter Sunday amounted to $10. All of the departments of the church are at work. Oscecla—F M Cooper, a local preacher, is supplying this work at present. The membership is but few and yet the outlook seems to be favorable for success in the work. Mount'Vernon—Brother Hooks has been quite ill since conference. He was not able to be at his first quarterly meeting on June 2d and 3d, which was held at Greenfield. But in the last week he has become somewhat improved in health. The quarterly meeting was a very successful one. Springfield—Bro W H Wheeler, the new pastor, is very well liked by the members. Quarterly meeting was held May 26th and 27th with good results. The people have become somewhat restless. Some of them have moved away to other towns or cities and others will do likewise. Mob violence has had a great deal to do with checking the work of our colored churches. They all have suffered considerably, but our own church has suffered less than the others. Brother Wheeler in his evangelical way is drawing the people into his church work. Joplin—Brother R G Smith has entered his new field of labor greatly encouraged. We held quarterly meeting June 9th and 10ta with most excellent results. Three joined the church Sunday. $48.50 was raised in the quarterly meeting. Our people will entertain the annual conference at its next session. No one need have any fears in this direction. Joplin will do her duty. Carthage—Brother RH Young is now serving his second year. He starts in well and the outlook for a successful year's work is very bright. We had held the first quarterly meeting on the 16th and 17th with excellent re-results. The erection of a new church building last year has been the means of giving inspiration to the entire membership to go forward in the duties and responsibilities of the church work in the new conference year. Colored Fair for 1906. The Stockholders of the LaFayette County Colored Fair Association of Higginsville and Lexington are preparing to make the fair that is to be held at the Higginsville Fair Grounds the best in the history of its existence.

Coniributors Benet sign theirnames, Let us hear your sentiments on some of the ques+ tions of the day, The Negro’s Political Status in Missouri. From observations made as a result of careful study, we have endeavored to arrive at some definite conclusion as to the Negro’s political status in this state. We mean his rating as a factor or ele- ‘ment of our state's party organizations, In all of the state organ- izations of political parties he counts for practically nothing, It is true that there are two Negro representatives on the Republican State Committee: What have they done to help the race? What san they do while the state organization is dominated by its present influence? Missouri Negro Republicans do not wish to dictate to the state Organization what it sball or shall not doin all things. But they do want it distinctly understood that if they are to contribute a solid front to win victory for the G. 0, P,, they reasonably must be as- sured of some consideration when the “pie’’ is to be distributed, Two years ago the Negro element of the Republican party supplied 35,00 or 50,000 votes for the entire ticket, As a result of this loy- al support, victory was won, Werethe Negroes givea honorable consideration at the state capital? Negroes throughout the state are dissatisfied. They have sense cnough to figure and think, When they think, they can easily see that they have not been given a “square deal,’’ This issue 1s raised now in order that the party, if \t desires to retain the Negro’s undivided support, may know that Will you read, subscribe or advertise a 3 oe in the % Ke SEDALIA WEEKLY GONSERVATOR ’ Coleman's Ice Cream Will supply you with Creams and Ices of the choicest and most attractive flavors at Prices that both satisfies and surprises, Refreshing Drinks of the most fascinating mixtures and soothing results will be served in fthe latest styles at his nicely equipped parlor, Call and try one, just for luck ARTHUR COLEMAN, Prop., CORNER, OHIO AND COOPER ST, TT ee ‘Sedalia Weekly Conservator. ——— Publihsed every Saturday morning an entored at SedaliaPost-office as Seo. ond class ma.tter.

White men to longer ellow allusions to antebellum days to sway them to cast their ballyt against their beat business interest. Negroes, while they love the Republican party for what it has done in the past, have come to! the conclusion that “past, blessings will not suffice” forever. Present deeds doneappeal to us with as great an attraction as our solid vote aids the party whenever it is in close quarters, Last year’s vote will not do the party any good this fall. Nothing short of oar loyal support wifl give it the success that is available, If the party gets our solid support, what may we anticipate in retura? It will be useless for the Republican politicians to start out now tou tellthe Negroes about the glorious achievemets of the past fifty years, We have read of fhem, But tell us what is to be achieved within the next forty weeks.

Meet the Negro voter upon the same basis or platform that you do the Ger- man, Irishman, uvion labor or any other class or element of the party’s constituents. Assure us of something tangible. When we vote for men, we vote them into positions of real honor and worth. No man devotes his time in making his campaign tor a mere senti- mental idea. We have concluded that it is wellfor us to be honest and frank to state that we wish to be counted in on the ground floor since we are asked to carry the materiai that make it. Politicians are planning to carry the state; we are planning to look after our jown interest, Pythian Anniversary Program UNDER THE AUSPICES OF Greater Sedalia Lodge No. 42 and Utopia Court No. 19, ——AT THE—— MORGAN STREET BAPTIST CHURCH, Sunday, July 15,at8p.m. | Organ Voluntary, Opening Ode.......sccseseceeceseeeeeeeeeeveesPythian Chorus Tuvocation.........ssssesseeseseeesseseeveeessRev Robert Adkins Gonge.ccecessccccccsssesscececssceesceeeseessCalanthean Chorus Introductory Remarks......++.....s++s0seeeeeeekKev F § Bowles Address—“The Pythian Idea”.............4+.+ee++6W H Huston Address— “‘Calantheism’........6. ses ssseeeeeee ee Mts J A Miller [Vocal $010... 0+ ++ ese csevsesvsrsee sess sees Mise Florence Burris Addtess—“International Pythianism”................H G Phillips Psper—A Woman's Devotion”................Miss Georgia Diggs Address—“Fraternity”....0..........s00+.

While I am frank to admit that I know but little about the ‘game of politics,’ I beg leave to suggest that playing the game of politics never has and never can hurt the Negro, whenever you and the bal ance of us Negro voters GET INTO ‘THE Game and play it for all that it is worth‘ like our white breth- ren do, Conditions will change in the Negro’s favor soon, What are the conditions now? Let us notice a few of them, The Negroes of Miszoori live in one of the richest aod best states of the Union, And, we of Pettis county live in the very best of the best, Most of us are honest and indus- trious, Those of us who have been trusted, have proven ourselves worthy of high confidence, Thou. sands of our young men and wom en have taken the same curricula in our graded and high schools) that our white neighbors’ children have taken, The white man has a just and honorable pride in his son or daughter; so haye we in ours, The white man knows full well the value of a finished educa tion and he has willingly drawo on his thousands to keep his child in school, until 1t-has mastered all of its studies sufficient to en- ter the store, bank, mill or facto- ry, asan honored employe. On the day of its graduation, it is of- fered many splendid jobs, | Chances are the young man or the young woman desires a few days for recreation, The posi- tion remains open, until after a ten days’ stay upon the creek or ata health resort. The Negro man also thinks that his child should have a finished education, He draws heavily on the sawbuck and his patient wife bears heavily on her washboard to keep their child in college. The child remains until it graduates upon the same evening that the white neighbor's child does, It comes home the day following its graduation. Now, we come to the parting of the ways, The Ne- Gro boy or girl finds no job await ing them, Their parents are not able to start a store, bank, mill or factory, so that their children may haveemployment, His race friends, like himself, have no po- litical power to force a favorable consideration of his just claims upon any party or corporation. Why can’t he do so? Simply be- cause the Negro child’s father has played the game of policy, instead of politics, The Negro’s policy has been, for the past forty years, to follow blindly some per- fidious friend, who kindly allowed him to carry the lantern, do all of the hollowing in the parades, fiight all the battles at the polls on election day but he was vigi- laut enough to see that he got no good poritions after victory had been won, While the Negro was out in the streets burrabing for} Drink the beer your fathers drank And get your money’s worth, LEMP’S BEER Is the Choice product of the Brewer’s Art, Sold Every where, When buying, see that vou get Lemp's. . _ E.G Cassidy @ Co,, SEDALIA, MISSOURI.
