We know what's going on all over the country and we are apt to know more about the crimes than the good deeds and as Negroes figure so conspiciously in these crimes we have judged and condemned the entire race. We must not let our 'intelligence' mislead us. It should be applied to correcting existing evils. We should make it as easy as possible to be good citizens and as hard as possible for the bad citizens. There ought to be laws compelling every able bodied man to work, unless he can show other proper means of substistence; stealing and crime should be punished swiftly and severely; saloons should be closed after 9 p.m. and all day. Sunday (or seven days a week when the public desires it); and all citizens should feel that they can get a square deal. Then the crisis will be passed safely and a better feeling will prevail when matters have adjusted themsleves to every one's satisfaction.

We have heard persons say, "The niggers ought to be killed off," and other remarks in a similar strain. To these persons the Negro seems to stand in the way of the country's prosperity and well being. We will not discuss this side of the question. The other side can be best shown by an illustration: Uncle Ben Colder, a highly respected Negro of East Marshall, stepped into our office last week and remarked: "Well, I want to take your paper another year—maybe it will be the last." When asked why, he said, "We are passing through a crisis and can't tell when something will turn up and we'll all be killed." And Uncle Ben knows what he is talking about too. He is one of the old times, is a good Christian gentleman, lives uprightly, works regularly, pays his way promptly and is a model citizen—and there are many like him. Here is as good a citizen as the country possesses—with nothing but his nationality, and his color against him—yet he does not feel safe in his own home. What encouragement has he for obeying the laws and working for the welfare of the community or country. We are passing through a cris- What this solution will be we do not know. In our opinion Previdence brought the Negro to this country to be civilized, and he will be taken care of in some manner. A hundred years of slavery did more to mix the race than will a thousand of freedom. The race will no doubt hold its identity and is not seeking social equality not political supremacy so the white race has no real cause for alarm at present. Our aim is to handle only first class news. If you are looking for scandals, read the other papers. SEDALIA, MO., MONDAY, JANUARY, 28, 1907. Sound Advice Given the Race by A White Journal. There has never been a time in the history of this country when the Negro should uphold and support the Negro press than now. In fact, the Negro every where should give unstinted support to the race newspapers. They are fighting his battles for him and creating sentiment for the best good of the race in every available quarter. They strive hard to chronicle his good deeds and achievements and fight his traducers and slanderers. They give him inspiration when he is cast down and when he is almost ready to give up in despair. Their weekly writings of success and triumphs of those of the race who have push and pluck cause the weak in heart to take new hope and try again and wring success from seeming failure. The small pittance invested in subscription to Negro Journals is the most valuable asset the Negro has. There is no medium today which is doing the race more good for the same amount invested as the Negro newspaper, and it is the duty of every Negro, high or low, rich or poor, to subscribe to and for and read at least one Negro newspaper. —The Newport News Star, THE MAGNET Barber :: Shop!

It is reported, with some show of truthfulness, that Colliers' Weekly, which the race has paid and is still paying thousands of dollars annually to support, has drawn the color line, particularly in the South, as their agents have been instructed by circulars to cut out at once all Afro-American business. Contracts must not be accepted from them, under any circumstances, not even if paid in advance. A gentleman who is in receipt of one of these circulars, under date of December 18, Atlanta, Ga., signed C. H: Varley which reads: "Dear Sir: From this on we will accept no contracts whatever secured from colored people, regardless of circum stances. This is absolutely final. Business of this description we figure can mean nothing but loss. Any collector who will deviate from these instructions will be held responsible for any goods delivered against these instructions and any agent who will secure orders from colored people and fail to mark colored on the contract, will be held responsible for all expense incurred in shipping stock to and from points at which orders from colored subscribers were secured. If it is necessary for any agent to fill out contracts secured from colored people, let them mark colored plainly on the face of the contract, so that same may be separated and returned as unaccepted to agent on receipt of order." The Northern colored man should resent this high-hand ed uncalled for insult and discrimination to his Southern brother. By a determined and unequivocal refusal to further spend --- a five-cent piece for anything that bears the Colliers' Weekly name. In short, boycott it when ever and wherever you can. Oregon Advocate HOMER G. PHILLIPS. Attorney-at-Law, Bedalia, Mo. Graduate of Howard University, Washington, D.C., Class 1903. Mr. Phillips entered immediately into the practice of law after his graduation, devoting his entire time thereto, excepting a general participation in politics and a special interest in matters fraternal. Mr. Phillips in the 4 years practice of his profession has demonstrated his brilliancy therein, and the Grand Lodge of K. of P's., recognizing that fact, elected him her Grand Attorney at the last annual session held in Kansas City in July, 1906. Mr. Phillips appeared as the Special Counsel for the State in the recent celebrated libel case of State vs. Washington, and therein demonstrated his brilliancy as an attorney, securing a conviction, thus vindicating his client, for whom he especially appeared. Mr. Phillips has rare ability and much energy, and it is the opinion of the National Mirror that there is much good in store for him. --National Mirror. "Keep Stepping" Mr. Joseph Gans, the colored pugilist who disbosed of a young man named Herman in such a prompt business manner at Tonopah recently, and is now getting himself in readiness to dispose of another young man named Britt in the same manner, sent his mother a check for $6,000 as a Christmas present. The good old lady acknowledged it in the following terse telegram: Thanks. Keep stepping Joe." The goodly size of this check speaks well for the generosity and filial piety of Gans. It is also significant of the profitable result of prize fighting. For a few weeks of practice and a few minutes of actual work, lively enough while it lasts, the victorious bruiser receives a compensation sufficient, with prudent management, to support him in good style for a year. Even a defeated fighter, if he can be defeated a few times, will get so much as his end of the pulse that the wolf will not trouble him at the door. The most interesting feature of this incident, however, is Mrs. Gans' epigrammatic and valuable advice to her husky and dusky son. "Keeping stepping, Joe." Mrs. Gans is right. Those who "keep stepping" are the ones who succeed. It is only those who stop that fail. Of course Mrs. Gans is not entirely unselfish in her desire that Joe shall "keep stepping," for if he slackens his pace between now and the time he has engaged to meet Britt, he may not be able to send her another cash present. It is a good rule, and an imperative one these days, when competition is so intense and the rush for wealth so headlong and furious. And the rule is not confined to business and money making. Those who would get to the top of any profession must "keep stepping." To stop, is fatal. The crowd rushes over you and your oppo "WE SELL MORE STOVES THAN OTHERS COMBINED." PLENDIO E.

Is Missouri a "Jim Crow" State? The associated Press, during the past week, chronicled that a committee of the House has decided to make the recommendation to that body of a Bill that will provide establishment and maintenance of "Jim Crow Cars" upon transporting passengers in this state. When we read on on the part of certain lawmakers of this commonweak immediately asked ourselves this question:— "Is Missouri a Crow" State?" Is Missouri a "Jim Crow" State? The associated Press, during the past week, chronicles the news that a committee of the House has decided to make a favorable recommendation to that body of a Bill that will provide for the establishment and maintenance of "Jim Crow Cars" upon all lines transporting passengers in this state. When we read of such action on the part of certain lawmakers of this commonwealth, we immediately asked ourselves this question:— "Is Missouri Really a 'Jim Crow' State?" If she is, why has she become decadent? Judged from her geographical location, the composition of her population, a study of her history and early traditions, we cannot find sufficient grounds upon or from which our legislative fathers can erect a "Jim Crow" structure. Judged from her geographical location, the composition of population, a study of her history and early traditions, was sufficient grounds upon or from which our legislative correct a "Jim Crow" structure. From her geographical location, Missouri is not a state. She never has been heretofore accounted as such; northern boundary has, since the early "Twenties" made northern limits of the "Solid South." We cannot believe beloved state is willing to be counted among the least of our sisterhood of states. By a careful analysis of her population, we find no eligible us that deserves so great an honor as to be set apart. Others just for the purpose of travel. Ours is a costume in the make up of its population. No one element is highly strong to menace the rapid advancement of the white state. No danger lurks in any quarters of "Negro done" efforts are being made for social recognition. In fact, bitter race antipathies raging in this state between the white and his more fortunate contemporary, the white man. We devotees of Jimcrowism? As a Negro, we grant that the bad and incorrigible ones among us. But we refuse to the accusation that all of us are bad and worthless. In the Irish, the German, the Italian, the Swede, the Chinese, the Jew, the French and every other racial element to the sum total of our heterogeneous population have the roads, criminals and irresponsibles? Is it too much for them to felled the forests in antebellum days and has done so, and the early civilization of this commonwealth, to ask that men ONE HALF the consideration allotted to aliens? We were made slaves of without our consent. But only declare that we shall not be dehumanized to the states. What we have done that it impels more than the tens of peoples to concentrate their efforts upon us to destroy and soul? Is it possible that great and powerful Missouri, neary four millions strong, is menaced by 200,000, the legislators of our great state allow a few, who are prejudice, blacker than hell, race hate, more powerful than fire, selfishness, more consuming than Vulcanic, dishiness, more uncompromising than satanic vindictive, them into the enactment of a law that will blacken our words with an ineffaceable stigma that means shame and step never before known in our historical annals? History of our commonwealth is ladened with deeds, chivalry. Laclede, the Inbian Pontiac, Boone and our early settlers and empire building pioneers were too like the fallen. Let the "Jim crow" legislators cite use, data, where our founders dealt so unmercifully with the state. It was here in Missouri where the Indian, the French and the Englishman shared each other's mutual confidence. In this state where the slave master delighted to treat its with the consideration due to beings having an immature was here in Missouri, where secession, that principle to death to Republics, was overthrown by an Eighty Thousand. Missouri has, heretofore, recognized manhood in its counselled "uplift" instead of "put down." She has the excellent system of schools for the enlightenment of all included. Why crush the hopes that the state itself has been? Some will say that there are "bad niggers," who would trouble on trains. We answer: Hasn't this state handed white men, whenever they willed to aubvert our laws? Handle white men who rob trains, wreck banks, surely our military authorities can handle all the "bad niggers" with ties without crucifying those that have characters vouche best of white men. "Jim crowism" to Missouri is as our past achievements as titles of nobility is to our nation. OB-WORK GIVEN PROMPT ATTENTION From her geographical location, Missouri is not a Southern State. She never has been heretofore accounted as such. Her southern boundary has, since the early "Twenties" marked the Northern limits of the "Solid South." We cannot believe that our beloved state is willing to be counted among the less progressive of our sisterhood of states. By a careful analysis of her population, we find no element among us that deserves so great an honor as to be set apart from all others just for the purpose of travel. Ours is a cosmopolitan state in the make up of its population. No one element is sufficiently strong to menace the rapid advancement of the whites in this state. No danger lurks in any quarters of "Negro domination." No efforts are being made for social recognition. In fact there is no bitter race antipathies raging in this state between the Negro and his more fortunate contemporary, the white man. Why become devotees of Jimcrowism? As a Negro, we grant that there are some bad and incorrigible ones among us. But we refuse to submit to the accusation that all of us are bad and worthless. Does not the Irish, the German, the Italian, the Swede, the Chinese, the Pole, the Jew, the French and every other racial element that enters into the sum total of our heterogeneous population have their vagabonds, criminals and irresponsibles? Is it too much for the Negro who felled the forests in antebellum days and has done so much to build the early civilization of this commonwealth, to ask that he be given ONE HALF the consideration allotted to aliens? It is true that we were made slaves of without our consent. But we here openly declare that we shall not be dehumanized to the level of brutes. What have we done that it impels more than three millions of peoples to concentrate their efforts upon us to crush us body and soul? Is it possible that great and powerful Caucasian Missouri, nearly four millions strong, is menaced by 200,000 Negroes? Will the legislators of our great state allow a few, who are impelled by prejudice, blacker than hell, race hate, more powerful than plutonic fire, selfishness, more consuming than Vulcanic zeal, and friendishness, more uncompromising than satanic vindictiveness, to lead them into the enactment of a law that will blacken our statutory records with an ineffaceable stigma that means shame and a backward step never before known in our historical annals? History of our commonwealth is ladened with deeds of valor and chivalry. Laclede, the Inbian Pontiac, Boone and thousands of our early settlers and empire building pioneers were too manly to strike the fallen. Let the "Jim crow" legislators cite us to historical data, where our founders dealt so unmercifully with their unfortunate. It was here in Missouri where the Indian, the Frenchman and the Englishman shared each other's mutual confidence. It was here in this state where the slave master delighted to treat his servants with the consideration due to beings having an immortal soul. It was here in Missouri, where secession, that principle that teach es death to Republics, was overthrown by an Eighty Thousand majority. Missouri has, heretofore, recognized manhood in men. She has counseled "uplift" instead of "put down." She has built an excellent system of schools for the enlightenment of all—Negroes included. Why crush the hopes that the state itself has built? Some will say that there are "bad niggers," who will cause trouble on trains. We answer: Hasn't this state handled "bad" white men, whenever they willed to aubvert our laws? If it can handle white men who rob trains, wreck banks, surely our civil and military authorities can handle all the "bad niggers" within its confines without crucifying those that have characters vouched for by the best of white meu.

The Tuskegee normal and industrial school, of which Booker T. Washington is principal, is to be examined by state accountants, according to a bill presented to the legislature today by Representative Thompson of the county in which the school is located. The bill is in response to a sentiment that the entire expenditure of the school should be made public in detail, that the people of the state can tell just what is being done and taught there. For some time there has been growing a feeling against the school, resulting from the recent riots. Some openly say that if examination is not allowed the state support and sympathy will be withdrawn. However, the larger part of the best people are for aiding the school. Representative Thompson also has a bill to withdraw the exemption privileges for the school lands, the holdings becoming so large that to free them from taxes will greatly reduce the finances of the county.

Worthy Men Miami, Mo., Jan. 16—Dear Editor: In response to your request, I herewith send some brief sketches of a few of our brethren who are helping to attain success for Miami Negroes. Our Pythian Lodge met on the 15, with F. H. Brown, chancellor commander, in the chair. Routine business was attended by its usual dispatch and harmony. Our chancellor commander, brother Brown, is a native born Miamiam and is accounted as one of our most successful farmers and teamsters. He is a prominent member of the Second Baptist Church. He is loved by everyone. L L Dandridge who received the Past chancellor's degree at Kansas City last July, is keeper of records and seal. He is a practical farmer. He enjoys the confidence of this community and is an honored member of the 2nd Baptist Church. C. P. Beason, one of our eldest Past chancellors, is now stationed at the inner door, where he makes them all come by merit. He is another Miamian by birth. Brothers Beason and Dandridg are identified with the masonic fraternity. They deserve special credit for being the leading spirits in the organization of the Pythians. Dear Editor you will hear from us again soon. X Y Z reporter.

Some, in care less ignorance of his actual position in the case and some with malicious purpose to discredit him, have asserted that the Ohio senator is moved chiefly by personal antagonism to the President and by political antagonism to secretary Taft. It is deplorable that any public question should be degraded by the introduction of any such charges. Mr. Foraker's position has been widely misunderstood. Nowhere in his comment on the affair is there any sign of personal malignity or political enmity. He has taken up an issue of public concern and has submitted his arguments with ability and with dignity. He has a large measure of public support besides the approval and indorsement of an unknown but considerable number of his colleagues. He does not say that the soldiers are innocent of the offences which has been laid at their door. When charged by senator Lodge with having alleged their innocence, he was instantly on his feet with a denial. He declares that a penalty has been imposed upon a battalion of American soldiers without a trial, to which they are entitled by both civil and military law. The charges against these men are serious murder, misprison of felony and perjury. The senator merely holds that the testimony does not properly establish either guilt or guilty complicity, and the resolution which now the of the fontfetterly goes no further than to authorize the Committee on Military Affairs "to take such further testimony as may be necessary to establish the fact." To such a proposal there can sure ly be no reasonable objection. The issue is one of simple justice ```markdown ``` Pain Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills Headache ly, and leave no bad effects. ave every other pain, Neural- c Pain, Sciatica, Backache, Ague Pains, Pains from in- own Pains, Indigestion, Diz- ness and Sleeplessness.

Men charged with the crimes which these soldiers are said to have committed are clearly entitled to a trial before some competent tribunal. They have been tried neither by court martial nor before a the criminal courts of Texas. A local Grand Jury found no ground on which to indict them. The issue is distinctly legal and in no way either personal or political, and those features should be entirely eliminated. What senator Foraker may say or do in the coming days will doubtless depend upon the development of the. Thus far he has introduced neither politics nor personalities. He has merely exercised his aight and fulfilled his duty as a member of the upper house of national house of representatives by insisting on having a squae deal for men who in his opinion and in the opinion of hundreds of thousands of his fellow citizens have not had a square deal. He has called for the facts, and for all of the facts. —N. Y. Sun. Yes, and he will get everything he seeks, "Bill" McDonald included.
