Local Race Enterprises Need Our Sentiment among negroes even enterprises along all lines that to social, religious and concentrative sentiment among the negro enterprises have already sprung into station. We point with pride to Par of Lamine and Morgan; the restaurant, Diggs and Carpeater, mode town, and the Enterprise Grocery mine street, a new business enterprises are making strenuous effort prosperous. Our people should leave these institutions, even if they have little to do so. If we love our race. It is to be regretted that them big and grand to visit these small persons belittling or openly fighting. We ask these professional know the public welfare of the race?

We urge our people to consider seeking public honors, by a standard be found that they have done noth serve no public preferment. Conve good service, they should be honor prompts this expression and we act to consider everybody by what the Local Race Enterprises Need Our Encouragement. Sentiment among negroes everywhere is to build up business enterprises along all lines that tend toward financial, educational, social, religious and concentrative development. Such is the cumulative sentiment among the negroes of this community. Small enterprises have already sprung into existence as a result of this agitation. We point with pride to Park-r's Grocery at the intersection of Lamine and Morgan; the restaurant establishments of Mrs. Williams, Diggs and Carpenter, model places to secure meals down in town, and the Enterprise Grocery and Meat Market, 413 North Lamine street, a new business opened on the 4th inst. All of these enterprises are making strenuous efforts to become self sustaining and prosperous. Our people should lend a part of their patronage to these institutions, even if they have to inconvenience themselves a little to do so. If we love our race, we will do so gladly. It is to be regretted that there are some among us who feel too big and grand to visit these small concerns. So often do we find such persons belittling or openly fighting such enterprises. We ask these professional knockers, What have they done for the public welfare of the race? How often have they given encour agement, by act or word, to further any local negro enterprise, except where they themselves had a selfish or mercenary interest to satiate? Do they appeal for public support as a reward for service? We urge our people to consider black men, who are constantly seeking public honors, by a standard or what they have done. If it be found that they have done nothing for the race's good, they de serve no public preferment. Conversely, if they have given the race good service, they should be honored. Common sense, not sentiment prompts this expression and we ask our patrons, if they deem it wise to consider everybody by what they merit. Merit must win. Negroes Doing Well. Centaur, Mo. Dec. 3,—Editor Huston of the Sedalia Weekly Conservator, lectured to a large audience at our church here on the first and second. He spoke encouragement to the farmers who have done so well in building up good homes, raising splendid crops and educating polite and modest children. The school is in charge of Miss Hattie M. Shackleford of Tipton, who is making an enviable reputation as a teacher and leader. Her pupils show good training and intelligent aspiration. The editor was gratified to add the following names to his mailing list: Henry Frazier, George Anderson and Della Green of Centaur, Oliver White of Center, and Irvin Jones of 2829 Adams street, St. Louis. While here he was the guest of Rev. Rollins and Harrison Greene, James Green and other young men of this community are using good judgement in buying property and saving their money, REPUBLIANS KNIFED AND COUNTED OUT BARNETT. Only Republican Not Elected Chicago White Republicans Named Him to Get Colored Vote for White Men and Secretly Refused Their Votes for Colored Man on Ticket. Chicago, Ill.—Ferdinand L. Barnett, Negro, assistant state's attorney, who, according to the police returns, was elected judge of the new municipal court of Chicago, on Nov. 6, has been counted out by the canvassing board. The police returns gave Barnett a plurality of 499, but the official count of 35 wards of the city shows that Thomas B. Laurry, Democrat, was elected by a plurality of 304. Barnett was the only Republican defeated for a city office at the election. --- Encouragement. Everywhere is to build up business and toward financial, educational, development.

Cities to Particpate LARGE LUNICIPALITIES WILL MAKE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITS AT JAMES- TOW EXPOSITION' Many cities will make exhibits at the Jamestown Exposition to be held on the shores of Hampton Roads, near Norfork, Va.; April 26 to November 30, 1907. These displays will be under the auspices of municipal government and commercial organizations independent of the State's participation, and will serve to exploit their respective advantages to gether with the products of manufacturers in and about the municipalit making the exhibit. These cities have engaged space in the manufacturers and liberal arts building, while some will erect separate buildings; Washing ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Hartford, Syracuse, Richmond and several others of equal importance. The advantages of participating in the Exposition has found favor among the manufacturers of Massachusetts who will make the largest shoe exhibit ever shown at any former exhibition. The council of Boston has appropriated $50,000 to exploit the city's advantages and industrial resources. Concerted action has been taken to show a collective display of the Hub's advantages and inducements to capital, to together with a comprehensive exhibit of its varied manufactured products. The commercial organization of Washington,--the capital city will make to displays. One devoted to commercial development and the other a municipal exhibit comprising miniature reproductions of the several departments, White House, Capitol, Library of Congress, and also plans of model parking system now being perfected to make the city the most beautiful and attractive Capital in the world. Milwaukee will divide its exhibit into divisions comprising in industrial, commercial and brewer --- ies and manufactures. It will be one of the largest displays ever made by a municipality. The commercial organizations, mine operators and manufacturers of Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho have combined, in an effort to erect a separate building to display the resources and products of those states. It is to be known as the "Northwest Exhibit Palace" and will contain several miniature mines, smelters, etc., showing how the vast mineral wealth of the northwest is mined.

Some people have conceived an idea that everything must go their way or they will suppress, cower, boycot, annihilate, demolish, degrade, outrage, outlaw, and do everything in the catagory of opposition to those who were brazen enough to oppose them. All we have to say to that class of persons is that one head never did hold all the brains but once and that was when Adam was first created. Since then brain power and common sense has been scattered among a few of the common people. My! What a head it would take to hold all of the knowledge of the world, Gee, but wouldn't it be BIG. HOLIDAY SELECTIONS Mrs. Mary E. Wright of Lexington, Mo. invites all ladies desiring stylish equipment for head wear to call and inspect her wares. Some of her late creations in head wear are models of style, durability, beauty and attractiveness. When you call tell her that the Conservator sent you and she will give you a bargain. Still There Is Doubt Nevertheless and notwithstanding, the Brownsville episode is not yet presented in a light satisfactory to the people who believe in justice. The army officer who recommended the dishonorable discharge of the black soldiers is a fine office. President Roosevelt, who did the discharge, is a fine president. Ex-General A. B. Nettleton, who has just volunteered his approval of the proceeding is a fine gentleman. But there is a feeling of disquiet on the subject in the American mind which call for attention. If any soldier is duly convicted of knowing something which army ethics or the law makes it his duty to tell, then eviction with dishonor is no doubt his due. But if any man among the discharged soldiers is absolutely innocent of all wrong against his country there seems to be no way in the world to make his dishonorable discharge seem right or fair or legal. The president has no arbitrary power over the life property or the character and reputation of any man, whither in or out of the government service. Conviction must be had by the due process of the law. Better that one innocent man should escape than that ten guilty men be convicted, expresses one of the first principles of the law that now prevails in all countries which we call civilized. If the president can do what he has done in the Brownsville case he can discharge the whole army without the permission of any body or without "due process" of any kind. And what food there is for rejection, in the thought of what would happen if the president were to discharge a similar body of white troops under the same circumstances and in the same way—even with the recommendation of every general in the army.

Ben Tillman would lift the lid of his private volcano and spew red hot invective over every square foot of our country. Lawyers everywhere would rise in their dignified indignation and invoke the aid of the goddess of liberty.

But the woes of black soldiers do not start the hair trigger mechanism of such people as Bryan and Tillman, or even the professional expounders of law and justice. The man who brought Dreyfus back from Devil's Island or Hell's Hole, or where ever he was, was not a politician or an attorney, but an editor. It is no sure sign that a thing is right because politicians and lawyers do not object to it. It is hoped the president in this case will either relent or else show the country clearly how his conclusions and his action are consistsnt with law and equity.
