Inter-State Literary
St. Joseph Society Plans Many Social Functions for Inter-State
In view of the fact that the many social and literary clubs of this city are putting forth every effort to entertain the visitors to the Inter-State which meets here during the Christmas holidays, it is hoped that all delegates and visitors will come expecting to enjoy themselves and feeling that they will be well cared for as the citizens mean to leave no stone unturned. Social societies are cooperating with the Bx, Comm. to make the 16th annual session of the Inter State the most instructive and enjoyable meeting of its history.
The purposed Art Exhibit has proven very popular among the ladies and it is expected to draw many exhibitors from other cities Those who anticipate attending the sessions are urged to come early so as to be comfortably located in time to participate in the numerous social functions.
The following are among some of the social affairs planned by society felks: Dec. 25. Concert by Westera University Choral Society; Dec. 26, Reception to the Delegates and Visitors by Citizens; Dec. 27, Afternoon Reception to delegates and visitors by ladies clubs of the city; Eve. Dec. 27, Full dress ball by Shriners; Dec. 28, Art Exhibit and Reception to visiting exhibitors and fixtures by

Jewell Art Club of this city. Besides these there will be many other interesting entertainments to add to the pleasures of the visitors and delegates.
Lincoln Institute
Echoes from the Farmers' Convention recently held at Lincoln Institute are still in the air; and from Editor Huston of the Conservator we find a strong editorial that should receive wide spread circulation, so full is it of just such wholesome truth as Dr Allen is striving to disseminate throughout the Middle West and elsewhere, by means of these Farmers meetings; by the industrial Department; and by his morning talks to students upon every phase of industrial life and work.
The Negro is passing through a critical condition, but if every college president and editor would sound the BLESSEDMESS OF WORK FOR HIGH AND NOBLE ENDS, as Dr. Allen is doing and as Editor Huston has done in his editorial message "Stick to the Farm Boys" (Conservator of November 19) more would be done to solve the difficult problems that confront us, than can possibly be accomplished by agitation.
Let us all join hands, teachers, press, pulpit, home, to impress upon our young people the value of good, honest, faithful work.

Thanksgiving at St. James.
Thanksgiving day at St. James was a complete success from every point of view. Socially it was the most pleasant day in the history of the church. The spirit of making others happy seemed to be infused into the heart of every individual.
One of our creditors came out in the afternoon and spent between $25 and $30. After dining himself, he went away elated, saying he had never had a better time. At night the Auditorium was packed to its utmost capacity to witness and listen to the most unique progrmme ever rendered in the church, entitled "The Women's Rights Convention." It gave general satisfaction. The rally closed Sunday night with about $650 in the hands of the trustees. With our intrepid leader, Rev. W, C. Williams, at the head of the helm, our motto shall be: "More and better work." —Palladium
X-mas Bazaar

People Will Talk
By A, H. Harris, Versailles, Mo.
They are talking of the President
They say the way is wrong he went
In dealing with the soldiers black.
They want him take his ruling back.
They say that he has made a balk
But then you know people will talk.
His dealings with the Japanese —
To set their little hearts at case—
And people of this land go round
With brow all darkened with a frown.
They say he's made another balk,
But then, you know people will talk.
Be your position what it may
And walk your best both night and day
There'll be complaint here and there.
Don't be surprised, but be aware
And seek perfection in your walk.
But then, you know, people will talk.
The man of God will take the stand
And picture the sins of his little band.
He preaches the sentiments of his heart,
And then they say he fails in part.
Yet he's an angel in his walk,
But then, you know, people will talk.
The teacher may try hard to please
By working, toiling, without ease;
And when his duty he's performed
He hears complaints tho' not alarmed
He proves himself in his daily walk,
But then, you know, people will talk.
And if to a lady one chance to speak,
They say he promised to marry next
It matters not whether he's clear or guilty
It's the same old story of "Meddlesom
One knows it's not the way he walks,
But then, you know, people will talk.
But one day we to the grave must go
And then our neighbors we shall not
And when we're covered with morning dev
We'll cease to talk of the false or true
And then to the judgement hall we'll walk
And Jesus Christ our Lord will talk.

During the past month, truant officer, Robert Ramsey, has made three arrests—two colored and one white, for failure to comply with the requirements of the compulsory school attendance law. In each case the offenders were fired $10, and costs, the minimum penalty. We are glad that the prosecuting attorney and the officials who have the power to make this law effective, are doing their duty, because it is forcing our children off the streets into the school. No excuse is sufficiently adequate to excuse any parent for keeping their children out of school all the year round. Inability to buy books is set aside, since boards of education almost invariably make provisions or all such unfortunate children. Want of clothes need not cut much ice, since if the child stays out of school it parades the streets. And if it has clothes sufficient to run the streets it is certainly well enough clad to go to school, if the parent will only make it use a little soap, water and elbow grease. Every child must be provided with an opportunity for mental and moral culture as ordained and maintained by the commonwealth. Those parents, who rail to see the duty they owe to the child, state and nation, must be made to feel the force of the law.
Education widely diffused, is as essential to the life of the Republic as the circulation of pure and wholesome blood is to the sustenance of animal organisms, however, simple and complex they may be. Since the life and perpetuity of the nation depends upon education, it is mandatory upon the part of the state to see that it is fostered among all classes.
Education, thoroughly and properly inculcated, lessens crime, destroys idleness and quickens laudable aspirations among any people. And we are confident that it is helping us to lift ourselves in usefulness, loyalty, character and material advancement.
If our compulsory school laws are defective, let us urge our assemblymen to remove such defects in order that it may become operative for the general good of all.
Our local officers justly deserve credit for enforcing our educational laws. All we have to say is that they should never give in until every child is in school.

Fred Douglas School of Columbis Mo., Plans to Secure Co-Operation of Parents, Teachers and Pupils—Excellent Result Follows First meeting
To the Editor of the Conservator: Columbia, Mo., Dec. 10, 1906—The teachers of Fred Douglas School conducted a most interesting parents meeting at the school building Thursday evening December 6, 1906.
The object of these meetings is to lead in a careful and temperate study of the Negro and his condition in America, then to develop and encourage such course of conduct in both the old and the young that will make the future of the Negro better, brighter and happier. To accomplish these ends the following program was carried out:
1. Song, "Abide with me"
2. Intercessional The Lord's Prayer.
The interesting nature of the meeting so impressed the parents and friends present that they thought the influence of this good meeting should be given to the world and to that end elected the writer, A. A. Harris, pastor of the Second Christian church, reporter for the press.
The day before the meeting the children had been asked the loan of the pictures of their baby brothers and sisters that these in fants through their pictures might plead the more earnestly that something be done for the future of the race.
The meeting adjourned with the parents and friends present blessing Prof. Coleman and the teachers of the Fred Douglass school for the unique meeting enjoyed. The teachers were asked to continue the meetings from time to time that its influence may be made lasting in the community. All are looking forward with great interest to the next meeting which will be conducted some time in January 1907.

Mr. Joseph Tarlton acted as groomsman.
Immediateiy after the ceremony came showers of rice with a suruptuous menu of chicken salad, cheese wafers, coffee, ice cream, cake and wine.

To the Teachers of Missouri.
Please remember the meeting of the State Teachers' Association to be held at Moberly during the Christmas holidays. Aside from a high-classed program we shall have an educator of national reputation as the principal speaker of the week. No progressive teacher can afford to miss such a rare treat.
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 tor the exhibits. Let every teacher send ing a subject be present and prepared at the time and place designated.
Yours for success,
E, W. EMORY, Cor. Sec'y,

[Negro Saved from the Gallows.
_ The case in Atlanta which
came 80 near terminating in the
judicial murder of a Negro
should give Judge Lynch a black
eye. In this case the woman i-
dentified the'Negro as her brutal
assailant and also identified the
gun with which he was armed.
‘Two attempts were made to lynch
the Negro but he was spirited
away by the officers and at lest
brought to trial, The testimony
of the woman appeared to be con-
clusive, the jury about to give in
a verdict of guilty when
the real assailant was brought in.
to court, and the innocent man re
leased. Commenting on this the
Atlanta Constitution says:
“Never was stronger plea
made forthe saner course than
in the dramatic ending of this re
tnarkable trial. It is the province
of the laws to deal impartial jus-
tice—punishment to the guilty,
vindication to the innocent. Here
without intevention of the law an
innocent life would have been
sacrificed.
“It is a serios picture, one that
appeal with more force than the
cold logic of dispassionate argu:
ment to the respect for the: law—
notalonc the lawof the statute
book but the higher law of hum:
auity. Stop and jnyestigate its
commands, for here, you see, it
is not impossible for circumsten:
ces to overwhelm with apparent
guilt the innocent.”
It might be that another mis
taken identity would never occur
again, butthat it bas occurred
‘once, must satisfy all law abiding
people that a fair trial should be
given the.accused, however con-
vincing may be the evidence of
guilt. Judge Lynch rarely makes
a mistake, but in the heat. of pas.
sion and relying pon 1fifallible
testimouy he is far more likely to
commit a miscarriage of justice
than would a.‘duly organized
court, In this case three Atlanta
lawyers believing in \he defen-
dants innocence voluntecred for
his defense and protected him
until the real culprit was dragged
into the court room.
