He is a Pettis county product that has made an admirable record in the ministry. Aside from being a good preacher, firm parliamentarian he is also one of our most hospitable entertainers. "LET US ALL GET BUSY." B. F. ADAMS, D. D. G. C. EDITOR CONSERVATOR and Pythian Official Organ for the Grand Domain of Missouri: I have just read the last issue of the Conservator, which is always full of news and good things, and I note with pleasure the manly and knightly attitude which you take in defense of Grand Chancellor Lloyd, relative to what the Professional World had to say about his ruling and the action of the Grand Lodge session in Kansas City. You are correct in what you said relative to his ruling, and I am certainly prepared to second the motion, for it was I who separated the voters and non-voters, and this separa- and this separation was made the first day of the convention. The Grand Chancellor simply passed on the law and custom as used in the Supreme lodge, and in most of the Grand Jurisdictions. And it was the almost unanimous consensus of opinion that he was right in his ruling—at least his Handy Restaurant, WILLIAM DIGGS, Proprietor, Regular Meals and Hot Lun to give complete satisfai HOT FISH, FRIED AND FRIED Pops of all flavors, Iron ways below the freezing come in and see us.

But, sir, the 24d annual session of the Grand lodge of Missouri has come and gone, and whatever we accomplished is now a part of our Pythian history. It goes without saying that the Kansas City session was the biggest and most important one in the history of the order in Missouri, and may be regarded as the "turning point" in our career of Pythian progress and achievements. Our Kansas City session was the death knell to the E and W H friends who have been plodding along on the border land misrepresenting the aim and mission of our great and growing institution. And now we should all rally to the call of Grand Chancellor Lloyd, and "go forward and possess the land." Yes, truly as you say, we ought to have at least 15 new lodges this year with a substantial increase of 2,000 valiant knights. So let us "Get Busy" and show the people that we, the Knights of Pythias, do things. And further, that we are doing more to educate, elevate and unite the race than any other secret organization among the Negroes. Just now the eyes of the world are turned upon the Colored Knights of Pythias, and they are carefully, and I may add, critically watching us. Only last week the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Masons for the Jurisdiction of Missouri, at their session in Kansas City, following closely upon us, decided to purchase a Masonic Temple, and authorized their committee to act at once. Said building to cost some $10,000 or $12,000, and possibly to be located in Hannibal; They also decided to raise their relief endowment from $100 to $200. Thus you see that we are leading while the others are following close after us. Now comes squarely to every Knight of Pythias in Missouri. "Shall we continue to grow and lead in business enterprises and endowment benefits? And if we are to lead let it be done in the maches, at all hours, guaranteed action, or money refunded.

DAILY. most friendly and knightly manner, let us be cautious in our modus operandi, let us be charitable and benevolent in our efforts to promote and build up Pythianism. Let us be too brave to throw mud, be jealous or disparage any other secret organization; but let us bravely go forward under the leadership of that sterling young Pythian leader whose motto is "Success," Aaron W Lloyd. The generous gift of recitation seats to the value of $30 by Mr George McLaughlin, is most highly appreciated, none the less so because it came without solicitation and in the form of a receipted bill for seats or dered. The board of trustees through its committee, consisting of Presiding Elder Abbott and Rev Dr R E Gillum, have issued an ad Let every Grand Lodge officer, every District Deputy, Grand Chancellor, and finally every Chancellor Commander and subordinate member unite in helping to make this the "banner year" for Missouri Pythians Let us have 15 new lodges and 2,006 new members; nd last, but bu not least, in our considertion, comes the "SEDALIA CONSERVATOR our newly adopted Pythian organ -- the paper that has already done much for the order in Central Missouri, and the paper that will do much more this year if the members will only support it. Every subordinate lodge in the state should take from 2 to 5 copies each week, and every KR and S and CC should shind items of their meetings and the local news in general. The entire directory of lodges and courts should appear in each issue, and it will, provided the proper officers send same to the editor. Ss I repeat let us all "Get Busy." I propose to make 25 new members by the holidays for my own lodge and hope to give the Grand Chancellor at least one new lodge in my district during the year.

Has the National Republican Party Kept Its Pledge One plank of the plation 1904, declared emphatically that National Republican Party Kept Its Pledge With the Negro? plank of the platform of the National Reed emphatically that representation in C Has the National Republican Party Kept Its Pledge With the Negro? One plank of the platform of the National Republicans of 1904, declared emphatically that representation in Congress from any state willfully disfranchising any element of its voters would be reduced in proportion to the number of voters effected by such unlawful elimination. In the close state, where the Negro vote held the balance of power this doctrine was proclaimed from every house-top, in every ravine, hamlet and glade where the Negro suffragist could be found. To show his desire to help his outraged southern brother, the Negroes of Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, New York and other states rallied to the cry and voted solidly for the principles as outlined in our National platform. An immense majority of the American voters aligned themselves right on the proposition. But what has the administration done to redeem this pledge? What does it intend to do? Shall a majority of the American people allow the Constitution to be abrogated, the rights of ten million loyal and natural born American citizens and the principles that have been made sacred by the shedding of the blood of hundreds of thousands of brave men, white and black to be outraged and abused just for the sake of appeasing the clammeries of a biased, unjustly and foolishly prejudiced and un-American minority that knows nothing except to hate Negroes and villain the republican party, when it will to do right? It seems to be the policy of the republican party to break the "Solid south" by taking away from the Negro every right granted to him by the Constitution. If he be lynched, no federal law can reach his crying needs. If he be disfranchised, our government is powerless to do a thing. But at the same time it is able to send tens of thousands of men to distant lands to educate other people. It will expand great treasures upon the Phillipines to raise him up to a status of self government, while at home our own native born citizens are being deprived of one half of the educational facilities granted to others. It hurts us to see these conditions as they are, when our party—the party that we have "hollored" so much about, the party that many of our fathers were shot down by the Klu Klux Klan and the midnight marauder; the party that has heretofore stood fearlessly for the rights of all men, even black men, and the party that even today is boasting of its great achievements, is in power. When the republican party comes before us with a platform, we supported, because we feel that it will do as other parties, strive to redeem its pledges. Until it does so, we feel that we owe it no allegiance. In our contention for the carrying out of the platform pledges, we do not seek something, anarchical, subversive of good government, contrary to the teachings of the founders of the republic or unconstitutional. But rather do we contend for what the American people, of their own free will, pledged themselves to grant us. We have been Carefully and Promptly Looked After. N. B.

Harper's Ferry, W. Van, Aug. 19—The second annual meeting of the Niagara movement came to a close today with religious exercises and a sermon by the Rev. G. Frazier Miller. At the conclusion of the sermon an address to the country was read. It says in part: Address to the Country—The men of the Niagara movement, coming from the toil of the year's hard work and pausing a moment from the earning of their daily bread, turn toward the nation, and again ask in the name of ten million the privilege of a hearing. In the last year the work of the Negro hater has flourished in the land. Stripped of verbiage and subterfuge, and in its naked nastiness, the new American creed says: "Fear to let black men even try to rise, lest they become the equals of the white." In detail our demands are clear and unequivocal. First, we would vote. With the right to vote goes everything---freedom, manhood, the honor of our wives, the chastity of our daughters, the right to work and the chance to rise, and GORGEOUS COSTUMED FIRST PART THE WAT'R MELON.

We want full manhood suffrage, and now, henceforth and forever. Second--We want discrimination in public accommodations to cease. Separation in railway and street cars, based simply upon race and color, is un-American, undemocratic and silly. We protest against all such discrimination. Third—We claim the right of free men to walk, talk and be with them that wish to be with us. No man has a right to choose another man's friends, and to attempt to do so is an impudent interference with the most fundamentalt human privilege. Fourth—We want the laws enforced against rich as well as against poor; against capitalist as well as laborer; against white as well as black. We are not more lawless than the white race, but we are more often arrested, convicted and mobbed. We want justice, even for criminals and all outlaws. We want the Constitution of the country enforced. We want Congress to take charge of congressional elections.

PEOPLE. its rightful voters. We want the Fifteenth Amendment enforced, and no State allowed to base its franchise simply on color. The failure of the Republican party in Congress at the session, just closed to redeem its pledge of 1904, with reference to suffrage conditions in the South, seems a plain, deliberate and premeditated breach of promise, and stamps that party as guilty of obtaining votes under false pretense. Fifth-We want the National Government to wipe out illiteracy in the South. We want our children trained as intelligent human beings should be, and we will fight for all time against any proposal to educate black boys and girls simply as servants and underlings or simply for the use of other people. These are some of the chief things which we want. How shall we get them? By voting where we may vote, by persistent, unceasing agitation; by hammering at the truth; by sacrifice and work. We do not believe in violence, but we do believe in John Brown, and here on the scene of John Brown's martyrdom, we reconsecrate ourselves, our honor, our property to the final emancipation of the race which John Brown died to make free. The address closes with an appeal to the young men and women of the nation, and asks: Cannot the nation that has absorbed 10,000,000 foreigners into its political life without catastrophe absorb 10,000,000 negro Americans into that same political life at less cost than their unjust and illegal exclusion will involve?

We are authorized to announce C. S.

Rev. B F Abbott, Presiding Elder of the St. Louis district, Dr. J M Harris, pastor of Burn's Chapel, Kausas City, Dr. I L Thomas, secretary of the Church Extension Board, Rev. G T Reevs pastor at New Franklin and many ladies and gentlemen visited the Conference sessions at Taylors Chapel during the week. The New Sedalia Theatre in the early part of the season will present two great Negro Companies, Billy Kersands and Cole & Johnson. Both rank high in the theatric world. Later on, will come Williams & Walker, having a world wide fame. It is hoped that the management will be able to give Negroes first class accommodations at this season's performances. Several representative Negroes met at the Conservator's office on the 20th and effected a temporary organization to work for the political, social, financial, educational and general welfare of the race in this community. Remarks were made by James Ellis, Thomas Carter, William Bodges, Dr. C. S. Walden and others, after which W. H. Huston was elected chairman and C. W. White secretary. Huston, Walden and Carter were appointed as a committee on Constitution and By laws. Another meeting will be held Sunday. Billy Kersand's Famous Minstrels will be the attraction at the New Sedalia Theater.

The New State of Oklahoma Bigger than Missouri: as big as Ohio and Indiana combined, with a soil teeming with all the crops that any state raises, OKLAHOMA—the new state—is destined to occupy first rank in a few short years. Here at the present time over a million people are duplicating the life which is going on in Illinois and Indiana. Their houses; their towns and their schools are newer but in nothing else do their surroundings differ from those in other states. Their cities and towns are growing and expanding with the impetus of a fertile soil, and a pushing, wide awake citizenship. Her settlers, mainly from the older states, see the virtue of encouraging enterprises of every kind and the needfulness of getting more and better facilities; of getting more hands to develop the country. In brief, conditions today are simply these: OKLAHOMA is in need of nothing save people. More men are needed in the towns; and more farmers for the vast areas of unimproved land not now yielding crops of which it is capable. There are openings of all sorts for for farmers and artizans, for mills and manufacturing plants, for small stores of all kinds. YOUR OPPOTUNITY NOW The opportune time is now while the land is cheap. The countrv is fast settling up. If you purchase land now, you will soon see grow up around you a community of prosperous energetic men who like yourself have seen the brighter possibilities of OKLAHOMA and have taken advantage On the First and Third Tuesdays of each month you can make a trip to OKLAHOMA exceptionally cheap. Round trip tickets good thirty—30—days will be sold by all lines in connection with the M. K. & T. Ry. at very low rates.
