Sedalia Weekly Conservator

CLEMEN CREWS SPEAKS. Nelson Crews, the Kausas City colored orator, spoke at the court house Monday night. The house was full of people and many white voters were in the audience, although the address was chiefly to the colored race. Mr Crews was introduced by Committeeman Jas Newbill, who presided as chairman.—Capital, October 16. Mr Crews delivered an excellent address. He paid worthy and deserved tribute to the republican party and the long forbearant negro. After the court house meeting he was the guest of honor at a banquet at Carpenter's restaurant. Fifteen or twenty of Sedalia's representative negroes seated with him. An excellent and superabundant menu was served in truly modern style. Mucn eating but no speaking was indulged in because factionalism among the negro republicans here is very high. The banquet, crowds and address was alright, except when Mr Crews proceeded to tell us here in Pettis county to "vote 'er straight." we caught the eye of some of the wheel horses, who are so crooked that they cannot stand between straight shafts. All negroes in Pettis county are republicans so far as the congressional and state ticket is concerned. But when it comes within the county many of us are sure to select our own candidates and stand by our friends. We also mean for those of us who profess to be straight that they shall be straight.

And is equally, as sincere in its efforts to have its negro constituents demonstrate to this community their political integrity and independence. Negroes of this community are always pleased to have our representative men come among us to advise and counsel with us upon questions that affect our material, religious, moral, commercial and educational development. But upon political questions, as they affect us, locally, we believe it to be up to us homefolks to look after that. We know who are friendly to our interests, because we live here twelve months every year. We know who we must go to for protection and business favors, and we take no hesitancy in stating that we know who our best friends are better than anybody. Our best friends get our political support. THE ATLANTA AFTERMATH The Allanta massacre has been discussed from many of the leading pulpits of the country and there are very few papers that have not made some comment. The whole affair was barbarous. The truth has not been told. More are dead, both white and black than have been reported. It has stirred the South and well it might. It was a slaughter of the innocent. The mob was directed against not the criminal Negro, but the Negro. The cultured, peaceable and conservative Negro did not escape humiliation Dr. J. W. E. Bowen and President Crogman were "lined up" cursed and repeatedly insulted. Dr. I. L. Thomas was "lined up" and jailed. What had these men done? Each of them had spent more than a quarter of a century of open, faultless life in trying to reach the unreached Negro. But what was their crime? They were Negroes; God made them so. The mob was put down but not until every Negro was is-armed, while white men bought guns by the thousands of dollars worth. If a Negro happened to have in his house a shotgun and a few bird shot it was a criminal offense. White men might have Winchester rifles, but they were peaceable citizens—lawabiding citizens. The Negro in Atlanta, save in isolated casee, made no attempt at retaliation or defense. He was as helpless as a babv. He could not retaliate if he had desired to do so. The mob was composed of the topgh? Correct. But the best people of Atlanta and the South keep silent until the mob is on and the bloody work is done, before the authorities can stop it. If proper precautions were taken the mob could never assemble. The best statesman of the country, millions of treasure, the best blood of our soldiery for the freedom of Cuda, but nothing for the Negro. A national government that must go abroad to help the helpless is dangerously weak. The whole South is in a restless state. Both races distrust each other. Something must be done and that speedily, for the good of both. Dr. C. B. Winston of the Nashville Christian Advocate struck the right note when he said: "Let the decent white and colored people get together and discuss and adjust the situation." You are right, Doctor. Take the lead; we will follow. The dealing in the past with the Negro is fundamentally wrong. We must change our basis and deal with the Negro not as a thing but as a man. (This has no reference whatever to social relations.) The antebellum relation is not wanted by the Negro and will not be accepted—and no arrangement will be permanent to which the Negro is not a party. Any attempt to solve the problem independent of the Negro will be futile. The problem is not the South's it is not the North's, it is not the Negro's. It is a problem of our common humanity. It is not an educational or money or political problem, altho these phases are concerned. It is the problem of Copyright 1998 by The House of Kuppenheimer Experience I KNOW B.

TOVES JORAIN the golden rule. It is whether or not the white man, North and South, will be as just as God's known justice to his weaker and backward brother— "Justice, the hope of all who suffer, The dread of all who do wrong." —SOUTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. GREAT ORGANIZATION. All Negroes, who mean to 'vote 'er straight,' seem to be clustering around the head quarters of the rejuvenated Marching Club that is trying to march under a new name with the same venerable corps of officers, except the secretaryship, which has been carefully handed down to Richard Fergusons, a true and tried straight republican, who never veers from the narrow path. To make the club wheels roll smoothly, swiftly, straightly and perceptibly, C. W. White, the straight Negro Demosthenes, has caught the mantle of eloquence that fell from the shoulders of 'One higher than me,' as brother Johnson would say. Vest Witcher, whose bond is approved by several "sapient sons of sainted sires," has been re-elected to the lofty position of treasurer. Mack Scott has been selected president. Mr. Scott two years ago presided with manly dignity and Cannonized regidity through a proxy. We wonder if the proxy will work this season. In all the newly organized club is an august body, having about 27 members and a band of leaders numbering approximately speaking, 30. With this organization, it will be unlawful, unholy and unwise for one to scratch his head until after the votes are counted on November the sixth. We think the roll book is open for new members. Let the country Negroes be careful, lest they be crushed to death by the inflow of new members. Don't listen to what the boys say about the Conservator but read it and know for yourself. ORGAN. Warner's Itinery. United States Senator William Warner, will fill the following engu- gements this week: Cole Camp—afternoon, October 24. Sedalia—evening, at courthouse October 25. Boonville—afternoon, October 26. Marshall—afternoon, October 27. Slater—evening, October 27. Everybody in cach community should hear Missouri's illustrious senator. AN ADDITIONAL TEACHER Lincoln school is beginning to look up again. Since the enrollment has passed the 350 mark and several rooms were entirely too full for successful teaching, the Board of Education following the recommendations of Supt. Buchanan and Principal Hubbard, have secured another teacher, Mrs. N. C. Buren. She is a graduate of Fiske University and comes to the school eninently fitted and highly recommended to do the work. Manual training is receiving special attention in this school the same as in other schools in the city. Miss Ethel Snoddy, who is a spectalist in this line of work, gives special attention to the students here as elsewhere. Marshal Boullt Makes a Good Record. Sedalia under the new administration is doing well. During our recent State fair, Marshal Boult informed us that there were only three arrests. General satisfaction seems to prevail in all departments, especially the police service, since Marshal Boult is doing his duty effectively. It is gratifying to near him commend the loyalty and efficiency of his assistants. ```markdown ``` SUBSCRIPTION PRICES. One Year, 52, Consecutive Copies, $2.00.

If these republican candidates and their friends, who are so quick to "holler" about some one having sold, would ascertain the sentiment of the rank and file of the Negro voters, instead of listening to the Siren songs of some of those self appointed leaders, they will find that there are quite a number of black men, who have either sold out or begun to use sense. We wish to be properly understood as to our political states. On national and state politics, we and all other Negroes in this country are as good and lowed republicans as can be found anywhere in America. But locally we are for men of ability, character, straightforwardness and concert vatism. We are for men, who are occasionally for us in our business and other progressive aspirations. And when we are for them, we have nothing to hide. If both parties would leave a clean election this fall, they must have those who are to do campaign work declare themselves. It has been the custom or some, heretofore, to engage their services everybody. Such practices as that leads to lying and political duplicity. If a Negro desires to render legitimate service for any candidate, he should be man enough to declare himself. Other wise something crooked is in the air. H. B. Shain, the democratic nominee for prosecuting attorney is considered to be one of the best lawyers and campaigners in the country. He has a large number of friends among the Negro voters, who mean to stand by him. It is going to be a good race between him and Young Dow, his energetic and sagacious republican antagonist. Messrs Conners, Leaming and Clark, the republican nominee for justices of peace for Sedalia township are all good men and loyal republicans, who will poll 90 per cent of the Negro vote. P. G. Stafford, one of Sedalia's best business men, is the republican nominee for presiding judge. This position should be filled by a man, noted more for his business ability than for his political shrewdness. Since Mr. Stafford represents a good business sense and a high type of citizenship, we believe he should be elected. John L. Sullivan: a shrewd and versatile young man, is standing among the foremost in his race for the collectorship on the democratic ticket. He knows he is up against the real thing when he bucks again" our old friend, W. S. Scott. But he has the grit to go after what ever he wants. Most of us colored boys like this Sullivan John L. a whole lot better than we do the other Sullivan, John H. I. M. Danforth for associate judge is alright. We believe there ought to be to republicans and one democrat on the county court bench. Judges Stafford and Danforth would suit us to a fullness beyond expression. Ed Love's official records speaks for itself. You may phrase "vote 'er straight," all you please to the Negroes of Sedalia but when you get to constable a large number of them are going to get crooked on "Love." * We shall tell you something pretty nice about Lon V. Ware, D. E. Kennedy and several othsrs next week. 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. OKLA-HOMA is destined to occupy first rank in a few short years. Here at the present time even 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 is nothing else do their surroundings differ from those in our 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 cities and towns; more farmers for the vast areas of unimproved land not now yielding crops of which it is capable. There are openings for all sorts, for farmers and artisans, for mills and manufacturing plants, for all stores of all kinds. ON THE FIRST AND THIRD TUESDAYS of each month you can make a trip to Oklahoma exceptionally cheap. Round trip tickets good for thirty days will be sold by all lines in connection with the M K & T Rv at very low rates. From Chicago to Oklahoma City the rate is 924 55. From St Paul to Chicago from St Louis from Kansas City to 25. Like most petrol or oil-poverse in both directions via M K & T R. If your nearest railroad about cannot give you the rates, please Ry.

Lincoln school has a hundred more girls in it than boys. Every negro in this city should aid the principal and his corps of teachers to gather in more boys. Less than 60 per cent of Lincoln school penetration is in school. If our race lowers, who are going crazy over politics, who say a word of two about keeping our children in school, it will mean much for our future good. Our parents must be urged, if not forced, to keep their children in school. Williams and Walker will be here November third. Balcony for colored people at the new Sedalia Theater.

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.
