Smith College File An Urgent Petition With The Legislature Through Representative E. E. Johnston of Pettia County. To the Honorable R. Johnston and other members of the Miss. Missouri House of Representatives: Honorable and Respected Sira: Whereau there has been reported to the House of Representatives with recommend for passage a bill providing for separate railway and street cars and waiting rooms for the white and the colored races. Therefore, we, the undersigned teachers and students in the Geo. R. Smith College, being of those who would be directly affected if the proposed measure should become a law, and representing a large number of others, do respectfully petition and pray that you personally vote against the passage of this bill, and so far as you are able to influence others to do the same. In support to our p.e.a we present the following considerations: 1st. In all cases where similar measures have been adopted, the accommodations for the Colored people have been greatly inferior to those for the whites, and in most places positively inadequate and offensive, although the same charges were exacted. We have no reason to believe that the rule will break down in this case and that the unjust and illegal discrimination will not be applied to us. 2nd. Endeavoring to be lawabiding, orderly and polite members of the traveling public, intrigueing on the rights of no one, and carefully striving to offend no one in any way, we feel that such a measure as is proposed to be an uncalled for discrimination and a hemiliation of our selfrespect, and not in accordance with the Golden Rule. 3rd. As the number of Negroes in the State is comparatively small—only 200,000 in a population of 4,000,000. The pretext for such a measure is less obvious, than in some other states. At the same time the smaller numbers might be made a pretext for the public carriers, the street and railway cars, not to provide suitable accommodations. For these and similar reasons, not to mention the principles of justice and humanity, we respectfully pray and petition that the proposed bill be not enacted into a law. If you Believe in Supporting RACE ENTERPRISES Place Your Next Order For Groceries With the You or Your Children Will Receive Polite Treatment, Prompt Service, Full Measure or Weight and Fresh Supplies of Ware, Whenever You Call.

Jim-Crow Law Can Not Fine ATTORNEY GENERAL OF STATE FORCED BY NIAGARA MOVEMENT LAWYER TO COME INTO SUPREME COURT OF STATE AND ADMIT ERROR IN LOWER COURT'S DECISION IN UP HOLDING FINE OF MISS POPE. Holds Railroad Can Eject Under State Jimerow Law Even Interstate Passengers—Civil Case To Be Brought Next To Get Decision As To Constitutionality of State Law. General Public Should Send Donations to Help in Expense of This Work for Good of Race to F. L. McGlee, St. Paul, Minnesoto, Head of Legal Bureau of The Niagara Movement. Last August, Miss Barbara Pope a colored lady of Washington, D.C., boarded a southern train in that city for a point near Falls Church, Virginia. The conductor directed her to take one of the cars assigned to colored passengers, but this she declined to do. The train proceeded to Fall church, and on its arrival there the woman was placed under arrest by a policeman and taken be fore the mayor, who imposed a fine on the woman for violation of the "Jim Crow" law. She was also detained for nearly twenty four hours from reaching her destination by reason of the arrest. Counsel for the woman contend that she was an interstate passenger and that she could not be required to conform to the Virginia law. She was taken to the circuit court of Fairtax county, Virginia, where the judgment of the trial court was affirmed. An appeal was then taken to the Supreme Court of the state. When the case was called the Attorney General entered a confession of error for the state and the case was remanded for trial. The attorney general says that the law in the case does not provide for fine on the part of the offending passengers in such cases, but holds that they can be removed from the trains. In cases of the violations on the street cars the offenders are liable to arrest and fine or imprisonment, as no inconvenience follows for the passenger and the police can be called on to take charge of offenders. In case of railroad trains the company is liable to a fine of $500 for not removing such offending passengers. The Legal Department of the Niagara Movement has enarge of this case and it determines to fight the matter to the last ditch. The Niagara Movement was interested in the case, while at Harper's Ferry lant summer, through attor ney C. G. Morgan, of Boston, a personal friend of Miss Pope. Poor old Miami is about to take a backward step by the enactment of Class Legislation against her Negro citizens. Stares men and politicians are need in our legislature. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell Greatest Lady Lecturer of The Race Will Visit Sedalia on The 21st. Mrs. Terrell was chosen as one of the speakers at the International Congress of Women which was held in Berlin, Germany, June, 1904. Her address on that occasion was widely commented upon, because she was the only one of the American delegates who spoke in German, "The woman who made the best appearance of the convention," ac THE FASHION WEEK cording to M. Remy, the correspondent of the Paris Temps, "was Mrs. Terrell of Washington n., a lady of Andalusian complexion, who in ease of manner, gracefulness and force of gesture and naturalness of expression was abead of all other oratrices. Mrs. Terrell spoke in German with the same fluency and ease as in her native tongue." The Washington Post declared editorially: "The hit of the Congress, on the part of the American delegates was made by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, who delivered one speech in German and another in equally good French. Mrs. Terrell is a colored woman who appears to have been beyond every other of our delegates prominent for her ability to make addresses in other than her own language." In a syndicate letter to some of the largest newspapers in the country Mrs. Ida trusted Harper said "Mrs. Terrell was able to deliver one speech in excellent German and one equally good in French. This achievement on the part of a colored woman, added to a fine appearance and the eloquence of her words, carried the audience by storm and she had to respond three times to the encores before they were satisfied. It was more than a personal triumph, it was a taumph for her race." Mrs. Tearell is yet a young woman and has before her a future of usefulness. Her splendid work is doing much towards creating a sentiment in favor of her race. Wherever she speaks, her elopuent utterances and chaste diction make a deep impression which must have its influence in the final shaping of the vexed problems that confront the colored people of this country. Her exceptional attentions and general cemeanor are a wonderful force in eradicating the prejudice a gainst colored women. She is making an opening for her sisters as no one else is doing or has done. This gifted and highly cultured woman will lecture at George R. Smith College, Sedalia, Mo., "WE SELL MORE STOVES THAN OTHERS COMBINED." TLEMIDO E. Ralph Blair, 116 SOUTH OSAGE ST February 21st. Every Negro in and near Sedalia should hear her by all mean, She comes to lecture under the auspices of the Students' Lecture Bureau. WHAT NEXT?

He gave us a gladsome welcome. We were glad to find that he had an extensive practice in various parts of the county. That which pleased us most, however, was his hearty endorsement of the Conservator. About noon we went to call on our uncle S W Steward, but found him absent and no hot dinner in sight. Our presence was attended with delight on all sides. Promising to return at six for supper, we betook ourselves to the school, where we met our old Institute conductor and friend, Prof. J H Kenner, still in charge. We found his school in excellent condition, having about 200 pupils, proficiently supervised by the following:—Misses Idella Hawkins, Willia M. Brown, Devolia Bell and Prof. William Hobbs. By courtesy of the principal we were permitted to visit all of the rooms where we saw the children industriously at work. After dismissal, we remained with the teachers in their weekly meeting and participated with them in their discussion of psychological propositions. While enroute to Uncle s, we stopped in at the home of Mrs. Anna Brown, one of our subscribers, who gave us authority to write her a receipt. After six we found Uncle at home and had a pleasant time talking over the past. Our next stop was at the comfortable home of Prof. Kenner where we found him and his wife enjoying a mammoth fire.

Tuesday we visited the home of D. H. Hawkins on the campus of the Missouri Valley College. We found Ernest, a former student of Geo. R. a fullfledged engineer, in charge of the engine house. He showed us into his mother's room, where we found her looking well and happy. Brother Hawkins soon entered the room and placed a silver dollar in our hand and said, "There is a dollar you did not have to ask for." It was, for true. We could have stood for a few more. This family will build them a beautiful home on Brunswick avenue next summer. From the College we went to the home of presiding elder A. H. Higgs. We found him looking a little drowsy but fat.

Supper was taken Brunswick. It was a great supper We were enroute to Blackburn, where we took part on a program arranged by our old friends and schoolmates, W S Steverson and Prof, Andrew L Jackson of South Grove. At Sweet Springs we alighted long enough to shake the hands of several of our acquaintances, among whom was one of our classmates, Miss Ollie Hayns who has charge of the Houstonia school. The Editor smiled, We arrived in Higginsville at about 4:55. Our editor directed us to the comfortable home of Mrs. Franklin where a hearty and cor- VEN T ATTENTION. dial welcome was extended to us. To our surprise and delight we met, in this home, our old friend, the artist, O. J. Brooks, of Kansas City, Kansas, who was filling some important orders. He had some excellent exhibits with him. When first seen by us, on this occasion, he was smoking his pipe and soaking up the heat from Mrs Franklin's ruddy and rescate sitting room stove, while taking in the sober philosophies of brother Clayton Williams. At 5:30, we were invited into the dining room where an elaborate repast had been prepared to satiate our appetites. Did the Editor refuse? No, indeed, he would never stand for anything like that. While the editor and othlers were at supper, I was highly entrained in the parlor by the Misses Kya and Anna Britt, whom we found to be well versed in the art of entertaining. Instrumental and "chin" music were the prevailing features of the parlor amusements. So delighted were we by being thrown in touch with such a magnanimity of courtesies that it was with bitter feeling of regret, cast about us like a martial cloak, that we bade them adeau. Having dropped our courtesies to our hostesses, we hastened to the C. & A. depot, where we took the 'Plug' for Blackburn At 7:15 we arrived at our destination and found Messrs Jackson Steverson and others "lying in wait," for us. Friendly words of greeting were exchanged and a round of hearty hand shakes were extended to a number of old acquaintances. We were then escorted to the home of the Guthrie Brothers where Mother Guthrie prepared a toothsome repast. Did the editor eat again? Well of course he did. He said, "I'm too well raised to refuse biscuit." We shall never forget the tender words spoken by Mother Guthrie and the palstaking care with which she looked after us during our stay beneath her roof. With sincerity, we must say, "May heaven's most choice blessings rest upon her, making all her ways ways of pleasantness and all her paths, paths of blessed peace." After supper quite a number of young people met the editor and me in the parlor of the Guthrie residence. At Fight o'clock we went to the church and completed the arrangements for the Mock Court proceedings. Judge Hawkins called the court to order and the case of the State of Missouri, versus, Wilson Carter, First degree murder, was taken up. Jackson and Steverson appearing for the commonwealth while Huston and Williams represented the defense. Carter was indicted for the murder a Mister Jones, a cattle feeder, for his money. After a hotly contested argument, the jury failed to find a verdict. At the close of the entertainment a bevy of young people accompanied us to the Guthrie home where we had an informal reception until an unusually late hour. All having departed for their respective homes, we pass. Ed quietly away into the tender arms of somnus, where all friend ship ends and one forgets that he ever lived, moved or enjoyed the presence of happy associations. save only when sweet dreams act as a reminder of his once pleasing possessions. Miss Marv J Scales extended a kind invitation to us to come to her home for dinner on Sunday. At 11:30 we were escorted to the Seales' residence, where we were soon joined by Miss Russie Walton, the enlightened schoolmistress. So deligitfully were we en tainted, that our appetites were lost in the sea of conversation very near the ocean of laughter. At One p. m. we walked into the dining room, where each one in his or her turn received their old lost appetite. A large well baked chick en with dressing was the central sun around which moved masked potatoes, macaron, tomatoes, sal ada of various kinds, pickles, corn and sweet, gravey and other dainties too numerous to mention, performed their revolution. After dinner we assigned positions in the parlor and enjoyed a pleasant friendly chat. At 4:23 o'clock with much regret I bade the editor and many other friends adieu. Arriving in Higginville at 4:55. I went directly to the Missouri Pacific Depot and there I waited for the train which brought me to Sedalia 10 p.m. Sunday night. I shall always cherish fondly sweet memories of the kind hospitalities the people I met in Black burn. To them one and all, I dedicate the following lines:— "Pleasant be the task that en- gage you, Friends of my easy days I only know you, but to love you I shall never name you but to praise. Geo. M.

Unlike the ordinary prosecutor or aberid, minimizes, as he does not ignore crimes committed by white men of which Negroes are victims. Mr. Currie announces that he will prosecute a number of white hood lums who deliberately assassinate ed several peaceable, law abiding Negroes during the race excitement in his jurisdiction on Christian man day. The victims, it appears were not killed while fighting, but were refraining from participating as the riots and were displaying no sympathy with the disorderly blasts. In such cases it is customary to seek the killing of a Negro in a small matter, but Mr. Currie thinks differently. It is hoped he will succeed, in his endeavor to protect himself, orderly among men.

Foraker Charges President with Plain Violation of (From a Washington Dispatch to Pittsburg Dispatch ) An impromptu, very interesting and somewhat spectacular discussion of the Brownsville affair took place last night between President Roosevelt and Senator Foraker at a dinner given by the FORTUNA Gridiron Club, The president during his remarks made a reference to the "academic discussion" of the Brownsville affair. For about twenty minutes Senator Foraker devoted himself to setting forth reasons why the President would have reason before long for regretting that he ever used the words "academic discussion" of a matter that so vitally affects the rights of all citizens to whom the Constitution guarantees freedom in person and property. Injustice to men Who Have No powerful Friends to assist Them. He referred to the case of Mingo Sanders, the sergeant, who served twenty six years and in a short time would be entitled to retirement on a pension of $30 a month and a right to end his days in the National Home for Soldiers of the regular army had he not been dismissed without honor by the President, who, in dismissing him had violated a very plian law of congress and thereby made himself amenable to the processes of law, besides laying himself open to a well-founded charge of having done the greatest injustice to a man who it might be supposed, would have no powerful friends to assist him. Foraker protested against a discussion of such a case being called "academic" and deplored the fact that it now seemed to be the idea that the Presicent could do no wrong, even if he violated the plain letter of the law. When Foraker finished, the divers applauded and yelled, many of them rising in their places to get over to him to congratulate him. SENDS COMMITTEE.

The OX MARROW will remove and prevent damage to the hair from following the scalp, makes it grow and, by nonliving she moves, is not used to and, but is elegantly performed and harmless.

It was registered in the United States of Nations Office, in its all-new long-period from the 18th of October to the 19th of October, and has been sold and effective, no market how long to keep it. The air of the 18th of October is as if the PLATLE, the Dows of limitations. Remember, the OX MARROW is the top of the 19th of October and is made only in Chicago and by us. The OX MARROW is the only one of the most good products on each package. Refuse all others. Pull all one with every bottle. Pricing only to cost. Hold up to the cost of the price of the product.

(Macon, Ga., Telegraph) The Chicago Tribune says the protest against Tillman has not met with unanimous approval from the colored people of Chicago. Tribune quotes W. M. Russell chairman of the committee for a Negro Y, M. C. A., as saying: "For one I desire to goon record as being against such movement. The best way to prove to the world that Senator Tillman's statements about the race are false is by living them down by good deportment, honesty, truthfulness and high aspirations. All the Tillman's and Vardamans in the world cannot stop the progress of the Negro so long as he lives right and does right." This negro has the right view of it. Chicago negroes who are threatening to debar a white man from exercising the right of free speech, are simply playing into the hands of those who are intolerant of the race. They not only invite retaliation on their own race in sections where race antagonisms are pronounced, but such a course they will unite men in the ties of sympathy and blood everywhere and make it only the harder for themselves in the end. If they have a Cooker Washington among them he will surely ad vise them to go along about their business and let Senator willman and his views of the race question severely alone. It only requires a few such instances of wrong headed excess to show the country as a whole the race's inherent lack of capacity for self government, CENTAUR Messrs Minors, Ray of St. Louis were visiting Mr and Mrs Allen Anderson Saturday and Sunday.

NOT IN SCHOOL I desire to address my remarks to the young Negro boys and Negro girls of the state that is grand its fertility of soil, noble in it generous spirit of education above a number of states in wealth and population. Young man I notice that you are not in school any more. What is the matter? I think you have received enough education to tide you than the world or do you stay out just because you don't like to go? Young man you are standing in your own light. That other places may present a more pleasing aspect to your dim vision there can be no doubt; but listen to the voice of reason. "Youth is the seed time." Do you not know that the pathway of life is drawn with the bones of blighted manhood because of the preconceived idea that the educational scheme is fought with difficulty. Thre is no royal road to learning. So you say the door of hope is closed against the colored youth and why strive to become a useful factor under the existing circumstances, your logic is faulty. The great army of successful Negroes who are marching a steady tramp, tramp, should be a source of inspiration to you. Don't like the teacher? Young man, do you not know that the school teachers are the guardians of our democracy. By them our bulwark of intelligence is made strong or weak. When this country realizes its obligation to teachers of the commodwealth, the least appreciated of all who serve society and the state then will be brought in the Golden Age. Young man your teacher is your best friend. So young man you will find the meanest teacher on earth—if there be any—a dream of love beside some of the bosses you will work under in the cold and unfearing world when it becomes necessary for you to hustle for yourself. Young man, education is the most valuable thing in the world to a man, but to a youth it comes the cheapest. It costs you nothing now to get what many a man would give all to possess. You say that this assertion is too broad. Well ask some one who threw away the precious moments as you are now delay. Listen to the answer if 20 or 30 years of my life could be recalled things would be different. You have the winning number in the lottery of education if you play it twice, or in the ordinary commemoration in the lottery of ed out as sheep for slaughter in busy affairs of life. Way bridle the manhood that desires to assert itself. Why grieve a tootful father and loving mother who stand ready to give you needed assistance? So you can make a living without an education, that is true—yet, did you ever think how much easier that same kind of work could be done with brain application. The age of muscle has been relegated to the distant past, to a degree and the age of brain activity is upon you—what will you do? At the present stage of the game the choice positions are not held by physical strength. Young man do not look for the working of a miracle to be your inheritance, arise some morning to find that you have come it to possession of great learning. The thing for you to do is to hike off to school in the morning and stay there until the thirst which will develop for knowledge has been satisfied. The race has need of you. The battles of day will be your tomorrow. Your holidays will come later when you need them. Had I a number of tongues and each tongue a number of voices I would gladly thunder into the ears of young men and young women the necessity of making the best of life. So young man stay in school that you may be useful members of society, that you may lift: others up as you climb, that the criminal records may show a decrease in crime of the race, that jimcromian may be the last straw in the minds of men that you may be a benefactor to your race. Young man stay in school. Yours for the race. MAGIC HAIR ELIXIR IF YOU WISH to have YOUR HAIR become SOFT AND LENGTHY, you should use JACKSON'S MAGIC HAIR RELIXIR.
