Case Made of it—An Appeal Taken—The Niagara Movement at the Head—Lawyer Hawkins of Baltimore on the Case. Alexandria, Va., Oct. 24.--Proceedings were had in the Circuit Court for Alexandria County, Va. on last Monday and Tuesday, which will have the effect of de termining the validity of Virginia's "jimcrow" law. In August last Miss Barbara Pope, of Washington, D. C., a refined and respetable school teacher, boarded a Southern Railway train in Washington, with a ticket entitling her to transportation to a point in Virginia near Leesburg. On approaching the Virginia line, the conductor informed her of the regulations Virginia had enacted separating the races on the railroad cars of the state, and requested her to take a seat in the apartment set aside for colored people. She replied that she was an inter state passenger and was not subject to any such regulations, and that she would not change her seat unl as she was made to do so. Upon the train reaching Fall's Church, two constables boarded the train, arrested Miss Pope and took her before the mayor of the town, where she was charged with violating the separate Car Law. She was held for five hours before she was taken, and then she was adjudged guilty and fined $10 and costs. She appealed to the Circuit Court for the county which case was heard last Monday and Tuesday. The judgement of the registrate was affirmed and notice of appeal was given. The case will now go before the Court of Appeals of Virginia—the high court court in the state—and will be heard in the January term at Richmond. The case is attracting consid- writable attention on account of its important bearing upon the trans portation methods of Virginia and the South. The lawyers ap pearing for Miss Pope were Chas. J. Simms, of Washington, D.C. Frederick L. McCee, of St. Paul, Minn. and Ashbie Hawkins, of Baltimore, Md. The Niagara Movement is behind the case, and it is likely to be carried to the highest court in the land unless a decision is rendered in favor of the appellant Oro. Advocate. ABOUT NEWSPAPERS. The honest, fearless, courage eoda newspaper unavoidably makes enemies. Some people have strange conceptions of the newspaper business. A clever exchange hits it off in this wise: "And so a newspaper man makes enemies. A single unfortunate line may wipe out the already faint recollection of a hundred nice things it may have said about a man; a single failure to be guided by the judgment of a politician instead of his own conscience may make that politician the editor's enemy, regardless of the years during which the paper may have contributed to the advancement of that politician; and even though a paper may have for years been a leading factor in booming its town this service may instantly be forgotten if it offends once as to regarding the ideas of some as to the public policy. The wonder, therefore, must not be as to the number of enemies a newspaper has, but as to its friends being no many. That a newspaper of character has many friends, surely it is tribute to the intelligence of its readers, who are broad enough to realize that one may occasionally err and yet be worthy of confidence. Realizing this, the sensible newspaper man goes ahead."—Alva (Okla,) Pioneer. If you want to k-ep posted read the Conservator. HERO SOLDIERS. Every One of Colored battalion Refuse to Inform on Comrades ALL WILL TAKE DISHONORABLE DISC HARGE FROM PRES. ROOSEVELT RATHER THAN BETRAY FELLOWS TO TEXAS WHITES — HEROISM ADMITTED. Washington, Oct. 30,—Army officers are much interested in the action the President will take on the recommendation to discharge dishonorably all members, including the old non-commissioned officers, of the three companies of the Twenty fifth Infantry who involved in the disturbance at Brownsville, Tex. This is radical action to take, it is realized, but the efforts of the authorities, including the inspectors who were sent specially to Texas to investigate the situation, have avail ed nothing to demonstrate WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TROUBLE. The Negro soldiers have maintained a silence which could not be broken by the most expert cross-examination. They "stuck together" with determination worthy of much better cause, save the military authorities, and it be comes necessary to do something out of the ordinary, if the int. of the army are to be protected and the discipline of the four regiments of Negro troops is to be preserved. The question is a serious one and the punishment would fall with some severity on the older soldiers, especially the non-commissioned officers, some of whom are on the verge of retirement after long service. This means much more to the Negro soldier than to the white man in the ranks, of course, and it is hoped that some way will be found to relieve the respectable soldiers from a penalty which they deserve only because they are screening their fellows who are guilty and who alone should be punished. Unless the department can come into possession of the information it wants all of the members of the battalion may have to go—a most unusual incident in the history of the army. WHITE SOUTH TIRING WASHINGTON. The Mobile Ala. Commercial, a leading daily of the state, and one of Bocker T. Washington's old supporters, comes out in an editorial Monday, Oct. 15, and denounces Washington as an enemy to his race. After giving reasons why Washington is supremely selfish the paper says: "If we are to rely upon the statements of many of our best colored men—men or brains, intellectuality and high standing, as well as possessors of wealth—in this locality, Booker T. Washington is not their ideal of a leader. Indeed, they agree with the Commercial that Washington is not their demi-god nor has he the best wishes at heart for the Negro race; but taking it all in all, he has been and still is an insidious, insincere man, who has done more to the injury of his race than any other man of it, and in this city and county will be found not a band of only a few men, but hundreds of Washington's race, who know that he has not only deceived the Negro, but in the same way the whites. See what Booker Washington did. He went to Iudianapolis, and although there be fine hotels for Negroes and many handsome residents owned by Negroes, who would have gladly had him as their guest while sojourning there, he stopped at a white man's hotel, the result being a scandal all over the nation." And when speaking on the al- leged crime of the Negroes this old time Democratic Southern fire-eating friend of Booker T. Washing ton says: "However, history shows that nearly all these crimes have been committed since (not before) Booker T. Washington thrust him self forward as counselor, leader and adviser of his race. Indeed, before his intrance into the field as orator and leader there were few, if any, disorders as mention ed above. It is high time to give this fellow a rest; cr, rather, if a lasting peace is to be obtained Washington should be eliminated The good people of his race do not need his advice; the bad ones will not heed him." Washington's double dealing and blowing hot and cold is growing more and more manifest to both races. This thing of boasting one thing to the Negro and whispering another into the white man's ears is coming to light. The intelligent, self-respecting Negro has long since seen it and sought to repudiate Washington; the white people are now beginning to see it, and they want no more of him. Ex.

The Conservator will be glad to open its columns for contributions from either students or teachers of any of the Negro Colleges who may be interested sufficiently to try to effect such an organization. Party Whip No Longer Holds the American Voter in Servitude. Tuesday's election throughout America, except in the solid South, revealed one important and far reaching political condition—the destruction of partisan prejudice. The American voter has, at last developed an independence of partisan ties, never, heretofore dreamed of. Men and measures now shape the voting sentiment of the American people instead of the whims and will and wishes of political bosses and partisan fealty. One's desire to serve the public good should always transcend his desire or love of party. The national, state, congressional or municipal good is of far greater advantage to all the people than mere partisan success at any cost. "To be right is greater than any political preferment," is an Americanism that has dominated the lives of many of our great citizens. For one to be called a "Democrat" or a "Black Republican" because he should step beyond his party range for honest purposes no longer drives terror to the heart of the honest and aggressive American. Antiquated issues of Forty years ago no longer controls the sentiments of the American voter North, East or West. Even Southern prejudice is being severely assailed by the elimination of Dixonism and Yellow journalism. By reading the election returns of the past week, one may see omens of good for the Republic. Demagogues, in any part, cannot hope to win upon a mere party name. It has become necessary for men if to win they must stand as representatives of good government, equal justice to all and a high idealism in private life. Party organizations and political bosses have been given to understand that the honest, toiling voter, the bone and sinew, of our populous and wealthy nation, is able to think for himself. From Pettis county throughout the nation, the humble voter has declared himself to be no longer a partisan serf but a political freedman. As a result of this action on the part of the independent voter, all parties, hereafter, will put up men of character, clean public records and energetic desires to serve the public welfare. If white men in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Missouri, Illinois, New York, Colorado and other states better their conditions by be coming independent of absolute partisan servitude, may not black men find some grounds for honest thought along the same lines?

ORGANIZED BY THE COLOR- ED CITIZEN$ OF SEDA- LIA DURING THE PAST WEEK. RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPT'D The Object of the League is to Bring About the Betterment of the Colored Race. Both in Public and Private Affair. An organization composed of colored citizens of the city held a meeting during the past week and effected an organization styled The Square Deal League, its purpose being for the betterment of their people, both in public and private affairs. At the meeting referred to resolutions were adopted as principles by which the members will be governed, and the organization is to be commended for their stand for a united effort in the uplifting of their people. The resolutions adopted follow: We, the citizens of Pettis county and in the city of Sedalia, believing as we do that most of the injustice done our race both locally any nationally, is due to the worthless members of our race and the disloyalty of our leaders, who would and have sold their brethren as Judas did Christ, that their itching palms may be satisfied, regardless as to the results of his fellow kinsman. Therefore, in order to form a more perfect union and secure recognition to ourselves and our posterity as men and citizens who intend to make worthy citizens, of whom our race should be proud and white citizens be not ashamed, we enter into this organization. Not strictly as political, social, denominational or moral, but along all lines that tend to the uplift of a people. We are trying to be men of thought and working to the interest of all men alike. We are no more under the party lash to be driven and pulled about by the political bosses of either party. And the few so-called Negro bosses never did nor never will influence us as to or why we should not use our ball lot to the dictates of our own conscience. We have no identity with any of the political clubs in or out of the city, but along political lines we shall think and act for ourselves as men; yet while we proudly bear the name of Republicans, we shall consider men and not parties; and in using our right of suffrage shall give our support to the men who stands for the best interests of our race. Socially we shall confine our selves to the Afro-American and endeavor to lift a high standard of morals within the race, declaring for the maintenance of good government and justice to all, be they black or white. It is our further intention that we so live, and contend that more consideration be given us in the governmental affairs of our county, ap pointive or otherwise; that the saying of Lincoln proves true, that This is a government for the people, of the people and by the people.

Results might have been different if So and So had or had not been done. Such and Such a party might have won if the weather had been wet or dry or some other thing had been missing. Some people account for the uncertainty of elections by pointing to the floating and the purchasable vote. Admitting that certain things exist, they are about evenly divided at the hour of absorption by the great party machines. In one of the Sedalia precincts where there is no purchasable, where the voters are largely old residents, the account Tuesday evening showed a remarkable thing. In one box containing a total of 441 ballots there were 96 straight republican tickets and 112 republican tickets scratched; 96 straight democratic tickets and 96 democratic tickets scratched; 23 straight socialist tickets and 20 socialist tickets scratched This record shows that the voters of today are departing from their old adherence to party lines and it shows that the republicans are more liberal in their "scratch- than either of the other par- ties. The voters are becoming more and more independent. They make their own choice between the candidates offered. Many of them go even farther than this. A close reading of the returns will show that in many instances certain men were crosted from the ticket and no other names aubatituted. The American voter is making up his mind that he will vote as he likes, and only as he likes. —Sedalia Capital. --- hoped Brewery in the World Anheuser-Busch Beers are world, and that alone is the no other.
