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.

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.

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.

Negro Lieutenant Sends Protest to President, Little Rock, Ark,, November 29,--J. H. Sykes, a well-known Ne- Gro of this city, who was lieutenant in 7th immnue regiment during the Spanish-American war, addresses the following letter to Presi- dent Ronsevelt today: ‘The people in my vicinity feel very much aggrieved at the way the Dattalion known as part of the 25th infantry that was stationed at Brownsville was discharged, After reading your order tothe war department of their discharge and disgrace, they furthur 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 turther stated the good must suffer with the bad, Now, Mr, President, we feel that if you kuow that they were all not guilty of participating in that disturbauce, there could be a way fixed by which the guilty could be tried for their crime and the in- nocent go in peace and not be disgraced. —_Balieving as we do that you areone of the greatest men moving under the stars and. stripes, ‘we believe in your greatness to this ead that you will thoroughly in- vestigate 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 ont and removing the strain from the innocent member of the batfalion, Mr, President, we knew you as a soldier we all shouted when San- tiago fell at your feet; we still shouted when the stars ane stripes »were unfurlee on the memerable hill; we helieve you now, as then, a man capable of acting, and will act, I had the honor of being firist lieutenant during that campaign of war between tne Uuited States and Spain. and it is for that cause the boys who sevred 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 CALL HIM“COLD, CRUEL AND DRASTIC”—LIEUTENANT PROTESTS. 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 dismiss ing troops of Negro soldiers from the United States army. At the nonclusion of the service, which was held in Mount Olivet Baptist church, nearly every one present made a contribution to a fund wkich is being raised for the relief of the dismiased 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: Tt has been the pretense and contention of the south thut the shiftless and ignorant Negro was the one she degpised, but the real South appeared in ber true colors when she took pains to run down, humiliate snd oucrage the most iotelligent, thrifty and upright peo ple gf the community, This was scarcely over before the chief magistrate of the nation covered himself with eternal shame and dis grace by his unjust, unkind, undemocratic, cold, cruel, dragtic and. infamons orders against as brave, ag heroic) as self sacraficing a set of men as ever wore the blue or bore “Old Glory” on u field of atrife, 2 ‘We will not be resentful or revengeful but are bold enough to enounce the act as.an outrage, and aggressive enough to demand Justice at the highest court of earth” and before tha'bar of heaven..

Please remember the meeting of the State Teachers' Association to be held at Moberly during the Christmas holidays.

Those who have delayed sending subjects to Principal A R Chinn, Glasgow, Mo., should send them at their earliest opportunity. We wish to get out our programs early this year and can only do so when the teachers of the state co-operate with us. Discharge your full duty to the Association. Have your pupils begin now to prepare work for the exhibits. Let every teacher sending a subject be present and prepared at the time and place designated. Yours for success, E, W. EMORY, Cor., Sec'y.
