Weekly Conservator. SEDALIA, MO, MONDAY, DECEMBER, 3 ;906, in the midst of an array of the very best equipment will afford a most interesting and instructive opportunity for comparison with the warfare of those times and that of the present day. Officials of the Exposition, realizing the necessity for space required to drill and manoeuvre such a vast body of men, have set aside thirty acres of land in a central location, to be known as "Lee's Parade." This will be the largest and most beautiful ground of its kind ever allotted for the purpose at any of the previous Expositions. Another feature in the military display, will be the many bands and musical or organizations that will accompany their regiments to the Ter-Centennial. The musical program will be both beautiful and varied and the Jamestown Exposition will be a continuous and varying scene of martial splendor from beginning to end, such as never has been wit nessed in this or any other country. A Painful Coincidence At the time orders were on the way from Washington for dismissal of the Negro battalion medals ordered by congress for the troops who performed valiant service in Cuba and the Philippines were being struck off by the engineering department, nearly 70 per cent of the men in the disgraced companies are entit'd to these medals for personal bravery and valuable war service. It is said that republics are ungrateful, but such treatment of our heroes looks as if our republics are brutal. Ex. FOR Inter-State Inaugurates New and Progressive Features At the sixteenth annual convention of the Inter-State Literary Society to be held in Saint Joseph during the Christmas holidays in addition to the liberal rewards for the best original productions in oratory, poetry, music and English composition, the Executive Committee has arranged for an Art exhibit and contest. This contest will be open to art clubs and sewing circles and will em embrace painting, drawing and fancy needle work. The basis of representation is as follows: Each club is entitled to three delegates and a corresponding number of alternates. The number of exhibits to be limited to nine, three to each subject. The prizes, nine in number, will be in a series of three classes, as first, second and third. Clubs not members of the Inter State are required to pay $1.50 to enter the contests. Clubs that are members pay an extra $.50. All exhibits are to be register red and numbered before the opening of the contest and the prizes will be awarded by these numbers. The purpose of the Art Exhibit and contest as well as those in or atory, poetry, music and composition is to give inspiration and encouragement to the young men and women to become actual contributors to the mental and material development of the race. Literary societies and art clubs that have not reported are urged to send a list of their delegates, program numbers and fees not later than December, 6th, to W. A. Hill, Chairman of Executive Committee, 1523 Savannah Avenue, Saint Joseph, Mo.; or Mrs. W. L. Grant, Corresponding Secretary, 1964 North Fourth Street, Kansas City, Kansas. As the citizens of Saint Joseph are very anxious that Christmas should be the "Home Coming," and visiting week for her former residents and their residents and fiends, no means will be spared in securing every possible comfort for their guests. Very low roundtrip rates may be obtained by writing Chairman W. A. Hill at the address mentioned above. The art exhibit will not be a part of the regular Inter-State program.

M, has been anxious to effect an organization of Free Masons in the city of Worcestersburg. But every effort failed, until Prof. B. B. Tullay was commissioned and undertook the work about 5 weeks ago, and like the most of his efforts was a complete success. On last Saturday evening the "WE SELL MORE STOVES THAN OTHERS COMBINED." GLENDOR E. Ralph Blair, 116 SOUTH OSAGE ST worthy Grand Master C. G.

The candidates looked upon the situation and concluded that the affair would be quite tame, as there were only two or three Freemasons in the city, but little while after the shades of night had fallen over the land scape, and everything was hushed in silence, another train arrived from east, ushered into our midst a number big hearted masons from the Central Lodge No. 59 Sedalia, Mo.

Sykes, a wei city, who was lieutenant in 7th immnue reg sh-American war, addresses the following levelt today: Little Rock, Ark., November 29.--J. H. Sykes, a well-known Negro of this city, who was lieutenant in 7th immnue regiment during the Spanish-American war, addresses the following letter to President Roosevelt today: The people in my vicinity feel very much aggrieved at the way the battalion known as part of the 25th infantry that was stationed at Brownsville was discharged. After reading your order to the war department of their discharge and disgrace, they further aggrieved when they see by way of letter that you are aware of the fact that they all were not guilty of that disturbance, but you further stated the good must suffer with the bad. Now, Mr. President, we feel that if you know that they were all not guilty of participating in that disturbance, there could be a way fixed by which the guilty could be tried for their crime and the innocent go in peace and not be disgraced. Believing as we do that you are one of the greatest men moving under the stars and striper, we believe in your greatness to this end that you will thoroughly investigate and remove the disgrace from those who are not guilty of any act whatsoever against the government. Understand us, that we, in no wise, condone the act of the members of said battalion who should so far forget themselves as men and citizens and soldiers, but we do not think that you are capable of ferreting out and removing the strain from the innocent member of the batfalion. Mr. President, we knew you as a soldier we all shouted when Santiago fell at your feet; we still shouted when the stars are stripes were unfurlee on the memerable hill; we believe you now, as then, a man capable of acting, and will act. I had the honor of being first lieutenant during that campaign of war between the United States and Spain, and it is for that cause the boys who served during that campaign and knew what it was to be a soldier, feel so aggrieved at at this wholesale disgrace. New York Negroes Denounce Roosevelt New York, November 29. At a union Thanksgiving service, in which members of the four Negro churches of this city participated today, President Roosevelt was denounced for his action in dismissing troops of Negro soldiers from the United States army. At the conclusion of the service, which was held in Mount Olivet Baptist church, nearly one present made a contribution to a fund which is being raised for the relief of the dismissed soldiers. The sermon of the day was preached by Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal church. In the course of his address Mr. Brooks said: It has been the pretense and contention of the south that the shiftless and ignorant Negro was the one she despised, but the real south appeared in her true colors when she took pains to run down, humiliate and outrage the most intelligent, thrifty and upright people of the community. This was scarcely over before the chief magistrate of the nation covered himself with eternal shame and disgrace by his unjust, unkind, undemocratic, cold, cruel, drastic and infamous orders against as brave, as heroic, as self sacraficing a set of men as ever wore the blue or bore "Old Glory" on a field of atrife. We will not be resentful or revengeful but are bold enough to denounce the act as an outrage, and aggressive enough to demand justice at the highest court of earth and before the bar of heaven. Let him of the 'square deal' deal square; him of a "fair-play" play fair; him of the "door of opportunity" not shut; it and bolt it forever in the face of black veterans. While the Republican party is fast giving wisdom that it is tired of having with it the solid Negro vote of the States where the Negro can vote, the Negro him self should seek to show some thing of his own party value as a voter. That the Republican party has in the past few years carried on a system of flirtation with the South, with the understanding that if the South to any considerable extent yielded to its alluring promises of capital and development, the Negro as a factor in its fold should go, we all know, and that this party, as one of the results of its coqueting with the South, not only winks at and condones Southern disfranchisement of Negro citizens, but openly and brazenly violates all national pledges and promises to enforce the Federal Constitution where such an enforcement would result in protecting the Negro in his citizenship rights. The Republican party by such defiant conduct either means that it does not want the Negro vote any longer or it has concluded that the Negro is so stupid as to use his voting power to keep it in office in spite of the fact that it ignores his rights. The Negro's advancement in self respect and to a full appreciation of his American manhood begin now to force the political solicitor to reckon with him as a man of affairs. According to the latest showing by the Republicans the Negro is today the balance of power in important national elections and could if united elect either of the great parties A statement that was issued by the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee shows the importance and growing influence of the Negro in politics. It is the only statement of the kind indicating the power of the black electocate in this country. The introduction to the table of figures says: "Negro population and vote in States where disfrachisement laws have not been enacted and where the Negro vote is a factor in the solution of the political equation." These figures show that there are more Negro votes in the State of Tennessee than in any other State in the Union. The Negro vote in that State totals 112,236. Kentucky comes next with 74,728 black votes. The third State in point of numbers is Maryland, with a total of 60,406. Pennsylvania has 51,668 Negro voters and Missouri 46,418. The colored vote in the State of New York was sufficient to turn the tide of the election in favor of Hearst had he received the 31,425 colored electors. In Illinois the black vote is 29, 762 and Ohio 31,225. When it is considered that the Negro vote in the East was cast with practical solidarity for the Republican party, it is easy to see how the 21,474 Colored votes in New Jersey could have made possible the election of a Democratic Legislature, resulting in the election of a Democrat to the U. S. Senate to succeed Senator Dryden. The Negro votes in other States that have an important bearing on the national election follows: Kansas, 14,695; West Virginia, 14, 736; Massachusetts, 10,456; Delaware, 8,374; Michigan, 5,193; Connecticut, 4,576; Iowa, 4,441; California, 3,711; Colorado, 3,215; Nebraska, 2,298; Rhode Island, 2,765. And yet the Negro not apparently appreciating his voting strength suffers himself to be the butt end of all political disgust and follows the party that was at one time his friend or the friend of liberty, as a hungry hog follows a corn wagon. If our people in the South can't get their political rights because the Republican party is fixing with our political enemies, we should at least show our oppressed brethren in the South how we If I but knew I should pass hence today, What would I do? First, I would thank my God For all the good Of passing years, Both smiles and tears. My love to him I'd show Were I to know I should pass hence today. If I but knew I should pass hence today I would be true To Cod, to self, to friends. For wrong I'd make amends. My work all done by set of sun. Accounts all right to bear the light My meed of loving word and deed In full I'd pay. This would I do, If I but knew I should pass hence today. Since it is true I may pass hence today. This will I do:-- Will work and watch and pray; Kind words will speak; Be gentle, humble, meet; A strict account to God will give In all things try to live (Lord help me so to do) As if I knew I should pass hence today. — Smithsonian K. of P.
