ALalia Weekly Conservator. ACORN STOVES AND RANGES E. RALPH BLAIR, 116 OSAGE STREET. THE MISSOURI NEGRO. As Seen by the Kansas City Journal = Poor Wages Paid. In speaking of the Negroes of Missouri and their relations to industry, the Kansas City Journal says: was a Missouri Negro, John Barton, of Benton county, who won one of the gold medals offered by the world's fair commission for the best wheat grown in the state. George M. Richardson, after accumulating a comfortable sum by success at the barber trade, is now prospering on a Boone county farm. Henry Kirklin was offered $1,500 a year as teacher of gardening at Lincoln Institute. He declined to go because he said he could do better gardening on his own account at Columbia. These are but a few of the numerous instances of successful Negro farmers in Missouri. The Negro is coming to be a farmer and an owner of real estate. There are a few Negro lawyers, altogether in the cities, more Negro preachers and teachers and negroes in nearly every industry, particularly those which call for unskilled labor. A recent investigation of the wages paid for Negro labor of all kinds, male and female, in a Missouri town of 10,000 population, showed an average wage of 1,000 Negroes or barely $2.10 a week. It is not strange, where this is the case to find poverty and distress. "When a Negro must support his family or himself on 30 cents a day, he can not expect to secure much beyond the veriest necessaries of life." Handy Restaurant, Regular Meals and Hot Lunches, at all hours, guaranteed to give complete satisfaction, or money refunded. HOT FISH, FRIED CHICKEN, CIGARS, AND FRESH PIES. Pops of all flavors, Ironbrew and Orange Cider always below the freezing point. Good Friends, come in and see us. We'll treat you right. CPEN FROM 5 A. M. TO 11 P. M.

Disgusted by Negro Achievement. Some of the southern journals poisoned by race hate, are some what riled at the result of the prize fight at Goldfield. The Courier-Journal thinks it comes rather close upon the heels of the social equality proclamation which it claims was issued by the Niagara Movement a few days ago at Harper's Ferry, and that it sort of emphasizes. we suppose, in an unsavory way the unquenchable longing of the Negro to be in every respect the equal of the white man. It, however, intimates that some good results may be expected from this man to man battle in the fact that the achievement of championship by the Negro will make the prize ring unpopular, be cause the white man to retire in disgust frm the business and make such brutal exhibitions a thing of the past. "It is a consummation devoutly to be wished though the motive is too low and mean to allow of decent comment The Goldfield fight was typical in many respects of the extraordinary disadvantages imposed upon the Negro in nearly all the combats and contests that he may enter. He may win the victory against unfair terms and untoward circumstances but the dominant race will carry off the substantial prize. It was the steady courage and matchless skill of the 25th colored infantry in placing their shots into the loopholes of the stone fort at El Caney, which made it surrender; but others than Negroes bore off the honors and had their officers elevated to be governors in the states and generals in the army. Now this same 25th infantry is not even permitted to quarter in the state of Texas. The Negro victim often SEDALIA, MO., MONDAY. SEPT., 17, 1906. gets death, and the Negro victor sometimes gets the "sounding brass and the tinkling cymbals" of praise, buf the substantial honors and emoluments never come to any of their number. We cannot see where the social equality question comes up in pugilism, and, if it did, how Gans could be a gainer in that respect in being permitted to meet Nelson Nelson fought more like a dog than a man, whilst Gans' conduct in the ring represented the gentleman and not the riffian in pugilism. The Battling Nelson became the Butting Nelson, butting, boring, elbowing, kicking and striking low like the "abysmal brute" as he has been named, and his Negro opponent made many noble exhibitions of his mastery of his man and his profession. —Advance.

Protect the Man in Uniform. Let the government in Washington beware lest it be stamped by the clamor which is being raised against the Negro soldiers at Brownsville. Several of the soldiers undoubtedly committed offenses against the law. But the aggressors in the first place were not the black soldiers, but the white citizens. A Negro soldier in unitorm, was knocked down by a white man for passing a party of white men and women on the street. So far as learned, the soldier behaved himself. He offered no insult to anybody. He violated no ordinance, municipal or divine. The streets of Brownsville, in theory at least, are open to all sorts of people, red, black and white, who conduct them selves with propriety. After the insult and maltreatment to their comrade, a party of Negro soldiers raided a saloon and in the disorder which ensued one or two lives were lost. This is deplorable, and the Negro culprits should be punished. But what about the white offenders, who started the disorder? Is the black man, even when he CHURCH M. E.

MANAGERS, SECRETARIES, Rev. W. J. DeBoe and J. A. Diggs.--Andrew Cravens and C. T. Hill H. CHARLESTON.....Chief Marshall of the Day wears the United States uniform, to be assailed when he walks the streets peacefully? Race prejudice is strong in Brownsville. So it is all over Texas, all over the South, and throughout part of the North and West. This is unfortunate for both whites and blacks But when a black man wearing the uniform of the army of the United States is assailed on the streets for no other offense except that of having a black skin, it is time for the government which he defends to come to his rescue. There are four Negro regiment in the army. Of the 13,000 cavalry, approximately, 2,000 are black men. There are in the neigh borhood of 2,000 black men among the 25,000 infantry. These four black regiments, nearly all of whose commissioned officers are white, have done good service for the government. Their members on the whole, are well behaved, are obedient and are brave. The 54th Massachusetts, the first regiment of Negroes who were enlisted in 1864-5, did hard fighting at Wagner and in other battles of the rebellion. The only fighting of any consequence which was done in Cuba in 1898 was done by the black and white regulars, though much of the credit for it went elsewhere. As professional soldiers, however, these black men and white did the fighting as part of their day's work, and asked no special credit for it. So long as the United States enlist e REV. W. J.

Political Reveries of the Observant Editor. *Our openly avowed intention to be conservative and independent has caused some of our "Street Walking Statesmen" to "Get Busy." *It is a queer and laughable thing to think of the way the "Bode" looses its head, while a political campaign is in progress. It is an authenticated fact that if you mix the spirits, something will hap pen. Brother Longfellow, you had better keep your mit on "Shorty." *Some of our republican candidates will suffer severely at the polls o November the 6th, because they fail to give Negro enterprises any consideration. Probably they think that they are too insignifi cant for their notice. "Little axes have felled many a huge oak, when intelligently handled." It they are not worried now, many of us will not be disturbed by reading the returns on November the 7. The "BIG-HEAD" Epidemic Has Struck Our City.

Thursday foreneon, while the Editor was playing the "devil" in dead earnest at the cases he was pleasantly greeted by a familiar call by W H Porter, of Sweet Springs, one of our former pupils when we were teaching the young ideas how to shoot. The Editor was so greatly surprised that we came near upsetting the hellbox and playing havoc in the production of "pi." Mr. Porter was en route to Jefferson City, where he will enter Lincoln Institute for the Fall term. Of him we can say that President Allen will not have the pleasure of enrolling a more manly and worthy lad than he. He knows how to study with vim and with a will. Moreover he will not waste any time in making "goo-goo eyes" at the gentle and fair. Our great wish is that Missouri had ten thousand young Afro-Americans like to place in our various schools, workshops and upon thousands of our farms. Miss Hannah Wilson spent the 12th in Marshall.

Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of a their periodical, the publisher may continue to send it until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the post office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them stopped. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, he is held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from the post office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie evidence of international fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be held responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearages is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, laws himself liable to arrest and time the same as for theft, etc. OFFICE HOURS: 9 to 11 a.m., 3 to 5 & 7 to 9 p.m. J.
