India Weekly Conservator. ACORN STOVER RANGE E. RALF 116 OSAG GEORGE R. SMITH COLLEGE W. H. Huston Writes of the School for Colored Youth SEDALIA, Mo., Sept. 19, 1905. The opening ceremonies of the second day's session of George R. Smith College was attended with 60 enthusiasts and good cheer. 60 students had enrolled to the moon hour and more were hourly arriving. More than 100 will have enrolled by October last. Some charegs sent as many as seven students with still others to follow. Such is the record of Trusedale, whose pastor is the Rev A R Martin. Many of the former students have already matriculated and indications are that 80 per cent of last year's enrollment will return. This with the great number of new students from all sections will assure the faculty of a very prosperous year. The morning exercises began by deyoting 30 minutes to the singing of familiar hymns learned by the students last year; after which Rev G B Abbott, of Butler, led in prayer. President I L Lowe, Ph D read a scripture lesson from Provberbs, ninth chapter. He then in a wise and forcible manner admonised the students, one and all, to apply; themselves to the getting of wisdom and good practical common sense. He placed special stress on punctuality, diligence, courtesy and obedience. Rev J L Smith, of Mexico, who was to deliver the opening address but was detained on account of illness, Rev B F Abbott, Presiding Elder of the St Louis District, was called to the rostrum and introduced as the prin- Handy Restaurant, WILLIAM DIG Regular Meals and Hot Lun to give complete satisfai HOT FISH, FRIED AND FRIE Pops of all flavors, Ironb ways below the freezing come in and see us.

He emphasized the necessity of the American to observe more discretely the laws of the land. In his remarks he deplored the fact that so many people, as well as black, felt that the laws of the land held no restraint on them. As a natural consequence mob rule and anarchy was becoming intolerable. Students were specifically told to observe the rules and regulations of the College, because in doing so they would lay the adamantic foundation for their own general welfare in life. Remarks were also made by the following gentlemen: Rev W H Smith, presiding elder Sedalia district; Rev G B Abbott, of Butler, one of the oldest members of the Central Missouri conference; Rev Richard Davis, pastor of Taylor chapel, this city; Rev W A Bohannon, Warrensburg; W H Huston, editor of the Sedalia Weekly Conservator: Rev Q E Whaley, of Hannibal, one of our baby preachers; Rev A R Martin, of Truesdale; Rev Scott, of the C M E church, this city, and Rev G W Ball, pastor of Simpson's chapel, this city. Throughout the symposium of addresses a sentiment fraught with high ideals and Godly carriage was evident. Prof Maclin and Wife Here. Just as announced in last week's Conservator, Prof A C Maclin, of the Department of Mathematics of George R Smith College, and wife, formerly Miss Estella Hankins but now Mrs Estella Maclin, arrived direct from Cincinnati, the 17. They were accompanied by Miss Bessie, the AGGS, Proprietor, unches, at all hours, guaranteed action, or money refunded.

Miss Mason will fill an important position in the College this season. Not often do we get the proper couragement when we raise manly contention. Therefore we feel your kindly consideration more keenly. Our old and long standing friend, Prof Maclin, looks as bright as a new silver dollar and as happy as a little boy that we know more about than any other, did with his first pair of brass toed boots. He should be, since he has made a wise choice in selecting a life partner. His bride is an excellent young woman, having those qualities, prominently developed, that make womanhood glorious and wifedom beautiful and sweet. All students and friends, especially Sedalians, are glad to congratulate the happy twain. The Conservator's cup is running over with joy to know that its old friend has landed safely. THE IOWA FAKE.

Jefferson City, Mo., Aug., 17, '06 T T Ward, Replying to your inquiry of the 14th inst, I beg leave to advise that we find no record of the in corporation of such a company as the Negro National Co-operative Development and Manufacturing Association. Nor do we find when such a company has been licensed to do business in this state as a foreign Co-operation. Secretary of the state of Missouri. Chariton, Iowa, Aug., 15, 1906. T T Ward, Esquire, Centerville, Iowa. Your letter of August the 14th at hand. We have no manufactur ing industry of any kind here by the name of the Negro National Co-operative Development and Manufacturing Association. Yours truly, C. P. CONNELL, Mayor of Chariton, Iowa. Thank You, Bro. Logan. The Professional World Published at Columbia, Mo., endorses Our Political Conservy. "The Sedalia, Conservator is preaching sound political docrine these days, and doing so at the right time. The colored man must begin to look to his interest, politically and if there is nothing in politics for him he had better keep out of politics." Wethank you, Brother Logan, for this kindly notice of our contention for the Negro's rights at the hands of the dominant party. Not often do we get the proper en couragement when we raise a manly contention. Therefore we feel your kindly consideration more keenly. LINCOLN SCHOOL. Prof C C Hubbard Institutes Some Progressive Features Efforts Must be Made to Raise Enrollment. Wednesday afternoon we called at Lincoln school and found all quietly at work. Each teacher appeared to be happily engaged and the pupils all seemed to be gradually adjusting themselves to this discipline. Prof C C Hubbard, the new principal, has put his heart into the work. By his frank and earnest manner he has secured the hearty cooperation of all of the teachers. Miss Ardonia Abbott, another new teacher, is adjusting herself to the work with almost perfect satisfaction. We found an enrollment of 326 out of an enumeration of 624. Only a little more than one half our school going population. Steps must be taken to fill our school. Officers must be instructed to clear the streets of loafing children, white as well as black. Parents, teachers, preachers, and other leaders must get together on some manner of proposition to raise our school enrollment at once. There is no need of having an empty room in Lincoln school while there are children enough about the streets and homes of our city to fill nearly half a dozen. Prof Hubbard has inaugurated a drill system among his boys that is working admirably. Masters Johnnie Townsend and James Williams and "Man" Bell and others are making excellent captains. In each room a practical system of discipline is being instituted, and it is being successfully enforced by the teachers. If the parents will cooperate with the teachers, we believe tardiness, low grades, bad order and degrading influences will be greatly sup pressed. Each room has thus far reach ed the following enrollment: No. 1—Miss Walker.....61 No. 2—Miss Dillon.....42 No. 3—Miss Martin.....40 No. 5—Miss Jackson.....68 No. 6—Miss Abbott.....61 No. 7—Mrs Teeters.....30 No. 8—Prof Hubbard.....24 Grand total.....328 Gans As a Favorite. The Peoria Star says: "Since his encounter in the fistic ring with Battling Nelson, Joe Gaus has become suddenly popular. His generosity in the ring, in assisting his opponent to his feet, which the latter repaid by a savage blow in the stomach, his gameness, his willingness to assent to all the conditions which Nelson repeatedly added to the original contract, and the courage which he exhibited in standing up through the long series of rounds so favorably wrought upon the spectators that when Joe appeared upon the streets of Goldfield he was loudly cheered and applauded as a hero. Battling Nelson, on the contrary, was deprided and condemned, and at the first opportunity he and his trainers boarded the cars and got away to escape observation." Promoted to Major in the United States Army. Last Tuesday Capt John R Lynch was promoted to the high rank of major in the army of the United States. A daily paper of last Monday in speaking of the event, says: The Spanish-American war resulted in the addition of three colored men to the list of officers in the United States Army. Previous to that the four colored regiments, the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry, each had a colored chaplain with the rank of captain, and in the Ninth cavalry there was a colored first lieutenant, Charles Young, a graduate of West Point. One of the chaplains, Allan Allensworth, served during the civil war, and by virtue of that fact was retired last April with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Tomorrow Captain John R Lynch, colored, of Mississippi, will be promoted to the rank of major in the pay department. His promotion is a notable event in the army, because it is the first instance, aside from the force of chaplains, where a colored man has reached so high a grade in the regular army. Lieutenant Charles Young was promoted to be captain while he was on duty in the Philippines and is now an attache at Port au Prince, Haytt. Lieutenants Benjamin O Davis, of the Tenth cavalry and John E Green of the Twenty-fifth infantry won their commissions by superior soldier ship in action and by hard study which enabled them to pass the rigid examinations. Both are making good records. LIVE STOCK PAVILION. Missouri State Fair Has Finest in the World. The Board of Directors of the Missouri State Fair has just completed the finest State Fair Live Stock Pavilion in the world. One or two Fairs have large Pavilions but these are more in the order of mammoth sheds and for conveniences, modern improvements, ar chitectural beauty, ventilation, seating capacity and elegance in finish and appearance, will not compare with the Missouri building. This pavilion is 187 feet by 237 is built on solid concrete foundation, vitrified brick walls, tile roof and steel trust supports. The arena is 125 feet by 175, seating capacity, 12,000, with numerous stairways leading to the seats, and to the broad promenade above and in the rear.

The Republican State Convention of Ohio recently encouched the following plank in its platform: "We favor the reduction of representation in Congress and in the Electoral College in all the states of this Union where white and colored are disfranchised, to the end that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States may be enforced according to its letter and spirit." We find neither evasion nor acrobatic dodging in this open declaration. Up in the Old Buckeye State, republicans usually go after a proposition for all it is worth. Not many Moons ago, when the "Ring" put a tainted man as their candidate for governor, the good old Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and other religious and moral organizations laid aside their partisan foolishness and put the "knife" very strongly into Herrick. It resulted in his defeat. That's the way they do business up in Ohio. Missouri republicans, especially some here in Pettis county, may learn a lesson, by a little observation, from the inertion of that plank in the Ohio Platform. It was evidently placed there by the request of its Negro constituents. If this be true, the party will poll a large majority of the Negro vote of that state. Here, in our old Missouri, all the republicans ask the Negro to do is to. "Vote 'er straight." Its leaders are too busy looking after the other fellow to listen to the Negro's cries for some of the spoils won by his loyal support. Many seem to think that the "Square Deal" proposition does not apply to the colored brother. When some of our loyal white friend do get a hearing, some of the "Big Ikes" will drown them out by crying. "Oh, the Negroes are alright. All they know is to vote 'er straight.' Let's look after the German, th. Irish, the Labor and every other element of our constituency first. It's time enough to see the "Boys." Yes, it is time enough. Wait all you may desire. We shall proceed to tell the "Boys" to do a little thinking and a little investigating. Look at your political ledgers. How do the rewards you have received compare with the services you have rendered? Who is debtor you to the republican party or the party to you? Ask yourself the question and then answer it according to your own sober and unprejudiced judgment. What have you to show for your forty years loyalty? Are you willing to sit stolidly still another forty years, waiting for "Forty acre farms and big car mules to come along, while a farm and stock and character await you as soon as you begin to bestir yourself? What has the Seventh Congressional District done for the Negro republicans? What does it intend to do? Congressman John Welborn should see that some of them are honorably cared for. He may think that he can be elected without the Negro vote of this county. If he can win without the "Boys," there is no need to fool with them. Otherwise, we would advise that he begin to watch his lines here, lest the enemy stealthily secure many of his votes. Act wisely A party to win should endeavor to treat fairly and squarely every constituent element that enters into its composition. Negroes have gone as far and as deep in the ditches to win republican victories in this district and county as any other racial element in the party. But, we have less to show for the scars upon our persons, for the political sores we have healing, for the bruises we are nursing, for the weared feelings we cannot get eased, for the disappointment hopes we fail to drive from our memories and for the constant quenching of our many aspirations that impel us, like the follow of the sweling tide that we cannot stay, than any of the others. If we complain aloud, the "Big Ikes" will send a body of notated "braves," who haven't scratched since the last election, to "Git 'em into line," "That use to be the racket but she wont go now," because the Negroes of Missouri are beginning to use their brains a little instead of relying absolutely on their feelings. They should because they are rational beings. Therefore, sense instead of feeling should and must sway his judgment. Schools and colleges are maintained by the commonwealth for his education, training and enlightenment. The State educates her citizens in order that they may think for themselves on al. propositions, even political questions. It desires her citizens to think as free men--men held in peonage by neither social, nor racial, nor partisan nor any other manner of bigoted or foolish ties. The Negro owes absolute allegiance to no one party, until he has reasons, established by sober and unprejudiced Carefully and Promptly Looked After. N. B. When mailing Mail Orders, mention this paper. thought, for standing pat. Since that is true, the Negro, as an individual, should cast his ballot for the friends, who have their friend ship in the past; who are demonstrating it in their activities of the present and who will obligate themselves, as honorable men, to be their main stay in the future. For such friends, he can well afford to labor, vote and die, without caring so much about their political affiliations, family ties or religious preclivities. ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The state superintendent will send to county superintendents and county boards of education pupils' examination questions for the first quarter about the first week in October. Teachers throughout the state should get ready for such examinations about the close of the second week in October and call on the county commissioner for the questions. Every school in the state should teach the children to sing America. It was inspiring to hear 15,000 men and women in a great gathering recently rise as one man and join in singing that patriotic song. Let every teacher drill for a few weeks on this and teach the children to stand patriotically with uncovered heads while it is being sung. It is said that foreign nations pay more respect to their national hymns than we do to ours. Three important school questions will come before the next General Assembly. The textbook situation will have to be considered. The compulsory attendance law needs strengthening. There are too many loop holes in the present law and positive provision should be made for its enforcement in rural distriets. The state must raise more money for school purposes and pay teachers better salaries, especial- ly in rural districts. These are the school issues before the people at present. Dr. Keeton's Demise. Evanston, Ill., Sept., 17—Rev. C. M. Kecton, D. D., ex presiding elder of the St. Luis district Central Missouri Conference and until recently pastor at Slater, departed this life, here, today. He was forced to relinquish his work at Slater several weeks ago on account of illness. Elmer, his only son, brought him, where he could care for him properly. Dr. Keeton was an honored member of the Central Missouri Conference for many years. He was its ministerial delegate to the last General Conference at Los Angeles, California. In his department, he was tidy, modest, earnest and godly. As a father his love for his son, Elmer, was lasting and impressive. To the father's delight, his great love for his son was happily reciprocated. THIRD QUARTERLY ROUND. Saint Louis District Central Missouri Conference.

The hearts of newspaper men become hard during a campaign. "Long Green" or the "hard metal" often serve as a softener for many. But some remain as solid as granite when they have fixed purposes to pursue. Rev T W Browls of Fulton has been placed in charge of the M E church at Slater. He succeeded the late Rev C M Keeton D D, who died in Evanston, Ill., Monday, the 17th. Rev Dennis Peyton put his wife aboard a Chicago train here Monday. She goes there to visit relatives for a solid month. Payton will pay his taxes over in Salline at or near Marshall. Abram Dillon, of 631 N Osage, has added a nice coat of paint to his recently remodelled house. His son did the work. Some people say that there is to be something doing down there pretty soon. Rev Q E Whaley, our beloved preacher, left an order for 50 copies of the Conservator to scatter among his people in northeast Missouri and northern Illinois. He is wide awake. Therefore he will succeed, Newspapers are counted among America's greatest agencies of education and enlightenment. Negro journalists build sentiment among Negroes. Therefore if you wish to be favorably consid ered by the Negro, patronize his journals. Some people seem to think that only preachers and presiding elders can make records in life that build the reputations in colleges and universities. But we are glad to state that there are a few others that are "there with the goods."

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, lays himself liable to arrest and fine the same as for theft, etc. OFFICE HOURS: 9 to 11 a.m., 3 to 5 & 7 to 9 p.m. J.

TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. help us achieve a great victory. JAMES S. SHERMAN, Chairman. P O.
