The board of managers of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Education Society on Thursday of last week unanimously elected Dr. John W. E. Bowen, for thirteen years an honored professor in Gammon Theological Seminary, president of that institution. This is a conspicuous event. It advances a Negro to the headship of the greatest theological school for Negroes in the world; it rewards a servant of the church by placing him in one of the most far reaching responsibilities known to either church or state, and it places the Methodist Episcopal Church squarely on her historic platform of the brotherhood of man. There will nowhere be any question as to the place of Gammon Theological Seminary in the civilizing and Christianizing forces of this age. It stands in the strategic focus of the Negro race in both hemispheres. Not a few of the ablest men in all the colored denominations in this country received their theological training and their Christian idealism in the class-rooms of old Gammon. And to its men Ethiopia stretches forth her hands—and not in vain. It is the best endowed Methodist school in the world. Vested with the gravest responsibilities for creating the religious and moral leadership of the Negro race in America and in the world, it was at the highest moment that the man most fit should be called to its helm, and it is a credit to the man, a credit to the institution from which he graduated—in which he found his own idealism, in which he himself taught for thirteen years—and it is a credit to the Methodist Episcopal Church and the pale faces of which it is so overwhelmingly constituted, that the honor and the trust of the presidency of this great educational foundation should have been vested in Dr. John W. E. Bowen. One position in the gift of the Church may confer a higher honor, but no position in the Methodist Episcopal Church or any other Church, can tender a man in the Negro race so far reaching or so momentous. Dr. Bowen is in the prime of life, He was born in 1885; educated at New Orleans and Boston; he has a national reputation for eloquence, for learning, for solidity of character, for judge ment and restraint under the emergencies which in this age in the race annoyances test to the limit the selfcontrol and heroic qualities of our black brother. We wish President Bowen years of life; he will, by God's help, take care of the rest. Ex, Dr. A.C. Briscoe Dead—Succombs to Typhoid Fever. Dr. A. Calvin Briscoe died at the home of Mrs. M. L. Huggard on Sixth street in Columbia after several weeks illness of typhoid fever, having contracted the same in Muscogee, I. T., and after practically recovering, suffered a relapse, which resulted in his death. He arrived in Columbia from Muscogee about three weeks ago and took his bed immediately from which time little hope for his recovery has been entertained Alexander Calvin Briscoe was reared in Sedalia, Pettis Co., Mo. and after completing the public school course there he entered Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, Mo., and was graduated in 1898, being a classmate of the editor of this paper, and was elected principal of the Warrensburg school shortly after graduation. After serving two years, he resigned his position and entered Muharry dental school at Nashville, Tenn., graduating in 1904 with the highest honors of his class. He begun the practice of denistry in Topeka, Kans., where he remained until about a year ago when he removed to Muscogee, Indian Territory, where met with success in his profession until stricken with that dreadful malady which put an end to that promising future career. On Dec. 26, 1904, he was married to Miss Josephine L. Huggard, the accomplished daughter of Mrs. M. SEDALIA, MO., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1906. L. Huggard of Columbia, who withan infant child survives him. Dr. Briscoe was well and popularly known as a young man of great intelligence and possessed fine business qualities. He leaves a sister, Mrs. Mae Clark in Joplin, Mo., and other relatives and a large circle of friends who will be grieved to learn of his untimely death, and who extend sympathies to his stricken wife and relatives in their sad hours of bereavement. —Professional World. White Women Not Afraid. Here in Chicago white girls and women of all sorts and characters from the rich and cultivated, to the humble beggar, go in and out through "the black belt" and other colored settlements at any and all times when they please—day or night—and yet not one case is recorded where a nergo has done worse than snatched their pocketbook or stolen a whip or a cushion from a carriage. Yet in the south, where negro men sleep in the house as guards to white girls and white women, whille white men were out trying to rivet the shackles tighter. The southern papers say the negroes make it unsate for white women to be alone. There is not a white woman in the whole south who goes among the colored people down there enough to know them who believes that lie. There is not a southern white woman who was raised among the negroes who would not trust themselves or daughter to the protection of the average southern negro man of her neighborhood, day or night, before she would any of the class of white men who lead lynching bees in that section. It is about all newspaper lies growing out of a condition of race mixture for which the southern White man is alone responsible. If it was left to the choice of colored men and white women there would be no illegitimate mulliatoes and mongrels. But the white man of the south who keeps his papers full of the foul lies that the educated negro wants the white girl sees only through his own glasses: he imagines that because educated and refined as he is, he has by running after and associating with negro women, planted millions of mixed-blooded people all over this country as a mark of the Christian white man's love for the negro female and as a proof of his disdain for social equality that the educated negro will follow his example and harper after the white woman. He is raving and snorting not because he fears the negro will impose himself on the white girl; no southern man fears or expects that. But he raves on account of his own shame. His sons and daughters, whom he teaches to shun the association of the nicest negro as so much poison, are learning each day of of their lives by contact with their neighbors that through their father's love and association with negro women they are actually blood relation to the very person they are told to shun because they are colored. What is haunting the white man of the south, what is worrying him and disturbs his dreams and creates in his mind a "race problem" which the south asks to be allowed to settle alone, as the specter of his own wrongdoing with the negro. He has sown, and now he fears and trembles as he thinks of the harvest.—Chicago Conservator. NEW TEMPLE Knights of Pythias of the World Locate in Chicago With a Great Temple.

He is a man that appeals to you on merit instead of begging you to vote for him on a 40 year ago proposition. Why has John H Sullivan finally consented to give negroes in an action at law a negro jury at this late day? He thinks he will fool somebody. Oh! no Johnny, you cannot hand us a "bunch" like that. We know Ed Love. Old foxy proxy will have a 'dang' big job delivering the Negro vote this election. You may fool some the Negroes all the time you may foo! all the Negroes some the time but you can't fool all the Negroes all the time—Selah, Ha! Ha! If we in obedience to the exhortation of John H Bothwell, H W Meuschke, J L Babcock, E E Godding and scores of others voted for democrats in the city election last spring, were not called democrats, why are we called democrats now? All negroes are not fools nor tools. --- Everybody knows Lon Ware, H. R. Camp, Spencer Hopkins, Frank Hayman about as well as they T. T. Viets, John Pregge, Martin Luther Imhoff and others. Negroes are going to select their friends this time if the sapient son and brother Mack Scott's foxy poxy will let them. Abdah! If the local republican organization believe so confidently in the absolute servitude of the negro, why is it endeavoring to employ two or three hundred at two or three dollars per day to work November 6th? Bartering in votes in blocks of hundreds is no new thing with certain "honorable" men, BLACK MEN NEED NO ONE TO VOTE THEM. To the Editor of The Capital: Some citizens of this city seem to fear that we are endeavoring to vote somebody. We have never in all our political career been able to vote but one man—W H Huston. And we are proud to state that Pettis county negroes are intelligent enough to vote themselves. If any doubt the truthfulness of this proposition, let them watch the returns on November 6. We modestly admit that we have succeeded in making some "wise ones" think and scratch their puzzled heads. To vote an American citizen, however, has never been our desire, because all should vote themselves. Mr Edilor, it is well for us to state that all negroes are not fools by a long shot. Certain ne groves have stated they can deliver the negro vote of this county for a certain price. We say they cannot do it. It's up to the walking statesman or any of their ilk to show us on election day. Our aim shall be to see that black men have a "square deal" at the polls. And we shall not hesitate to denounce coercion from what ever source it may come. Another idea we will let fall gently upon the trembling hearts of the mighty ones, viz, these fellows who have been holding the negro votes in their vest pockets, will find that somebody has op ened the negroes' eyes. The day of wholesale disposal of the negro vote in Pettis county is over since education and culture has been so widely diffused. Meet us at the polls on Novem ber 6th and we will settle it as other questions are settled by the use of the ballot. Yours for a clean vote an honest count, W. H. HUSTON. The above was submitted to the Capital on the 31st, but they refused to publish same until Wednesday the 7th. Pray tell us why? Surely the Great Sedalia Daily Capital would not represent an humble citizen. A Great Show. Williams and Walker in their production of Abyssinia at the New Sedalia Theatre drew out a large audience. The balcony and three fourths of the gallery were filled with Negroes. Many from neighboring cities came in to see this, the greatest of all Negro shows appearing before the footlights of the world. Throughout the play was displayed the higher and advanced stages of Negro culture in song, dance, comedy and mimicry. If Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson, The Smart Set and other high class Negro companies could appear before that class of white citizens who are eternally saying that Negro is a fake, an nonentity and a failure, it would show to it some facts that would tare into frazzles much of their inflated and silly prejudice. The Negro is a histrionic success, as is proven by the world famed artists. A WARNING. All Pythians and lodges every where are hereby cautioned to withhold any knightly courtesies or favors to a man who is going about the country telling harrowing tales of distress for the pur pose of soliciting money and assuming the name of O T Showers, of Atlanta Lodge No, 103, of Atlanta, Ga. This man is an imposter and a thief and is not A T Showers, for A T Showers is still in Atlanta, has never left there and is a good and highly respected member of Atlanta Lodge No, 103. This man who is-representing himself to be the above named brother stole his financial book while a gueat at Bro Shower's home in Atlanta. He is, however, evidently a Pythian, but has fallen from grace. So, Beware! Se cure the financial book and have him arrested on sight. We understand he left Cincinnati for Dayton, Ohio, recently.

The Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythas (white) held it session in grand gathering at New Orleans this week. It was a great gathering and the old creole city was at her best. Interesting history as to lodges in Louisiana was given. The question of admission of the colored brother caused such dissension in their midst that among other things they went to sleep. J M G Parker was the advocate for the recognition of the brother in black. In 1876 when Orleans lodge was installed, Mr Parker tried to get back into the order, but could not. The first lodge to be formed in this state was Ivan hoe No. 1, which was installed February 15, 1868. — Louisiana Record of New Orleans. A Campaign Lie Certain Straight republicans hav busied themselves in circulating among other republicans the news that the editor of the Conservator approached them with a proposition that if they would give him a certain sum (something fabulous) he would support the entire republican ticket, "yaller" dogs and all. We hereby openly, frankly, bravely, plainly and as loud as our type can state it that all such statements are base, black and hellish lies, eminating from a fiendish brain filled with a superfluous supply of inocuous vacuity. No candidate, democratic or republican can openly and truthfully state that we placed any price on our personal or professional service for them. Moreover we wish to state that all Negroes here in Sedalia are not so weak kneed that they fear to stand by another Negro when he is contending for his race's rights. We will meet you at the polls Tuesday to scratch to beat the band. Is that plain enough? ```markdown ``` CHURCH DIRECTORY Sedalia Churches. SUNDAY SERVICES. TAYLOR CHAPEL METHODIST CHURCH.
