THE NOTED LECTURER From Sen. Dolliver of Iowa:—"She is one of the most eloquent women in America." From "Le Temps," one of the leading newspapers of Paris, France, June, 6th, 1904: The woman who made the best appearance at the convention of the International Congress of Women, which was held in Berlin, Germanv, June, 1904, was Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, "A lady of Andalusian complexion," who in case of manner, gracefulness and force of gesture and naturalness of expression was ahead of all the other ornateces. Mrs. Terrell spoke in German with the same fluency and ease as in her native tongue." From Booker T. Washington:—"This is to say that for many years I have known Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D. C. She is a platform speaker possessed of a unique and commanding personality and will interest any audience to which she may be permitted to address herself. She speaks out of a cultured mind and quickly wins a sympathetic response from her audience. Her delivery is forceful and her expression fluent and deteritive." Everywhere Mrs. Terrell has appeared large audiences have greeted her. It is hoped by the management, THE STUDENTS' LECTURE BUREAU, under whose auspices she comes, that Culture Loving Negroes of Central Missouri will be pleased to hear this Verg Eminent Negro Lady Lecturer. 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 history and early traditions, we cannot find sufficient grounds upon or from which our legislative fathers can erect a "Jim Crow" structure. From her geographical location, Missouri is not a Southern State. She has never been heretofore accounted as such. Her southern boundary has, since the early 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 elementamong 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 mcnace 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 recog- TERR cturer in Amer TON,D.

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 ol us are bad and worthless. Does not the Irish, the German, the Italian, the Swede, the Chinese, the Polc, 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 to much for the Negro who felled the forests in antabellum 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 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 Caucasion Missouri, neatly four millions strong, is menaced by 200,000 Negroes? Will the legislators of our great state allow a few, wha are impelled by preju- dice, bincker than hell, race hate, "WE SELL MORE STOVES THAN OTHERS COMBINED." BLENDIO E.

History of our commonwealth is ladened with deeds of valor and chivalry. Laclede, the Indian Pontiac, Boone and thousands of 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 others mutual confidence. It was here in this state where the slavemaster delighted to treat his servants with the consideration due to beings having an immortal soul.

Missouri has heretofore, recognized manhood in men. She has builded an excellent system of schools for the enlightment of all—Negroes included. She has counselled "uplift" instead of "put down." Why crush the hopes that the state itself has built? Some will that there are "bad niggers" who will trouble on trains. We answer: Hasn't this state handled "bad" white men, whenever they willad to subvert 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 with out crucifying those that have characters vouched for by the best of white men. "Jimcrowism" to Missouri is as compatible to her past achievements as titles of nobility is to our national life. —Editor. Sedalia Weekly Conservator, W. H. HUSTON, Editor @ Publisher.

What care they for a "dollar and costs," so long as it means only a short stay in jail? We do not desire to see any one persecuted but we no not hesitate to insist that those who are constantly in our courts, for aggravating offenses, should be sentenced for a sufficient time and given abundant punishment, by the performance of some manner of manu al labor, to make them dread a repetition of a sentence for any sub sequent offenses. Unless something is done to lessen idleness in our city, it will continue to be the dumping ground for criminals of all classes from every quarter, where vice is placed under subjection. Churches, schools, homes, societies and business enterprises invite the industrious, honest and frugal from everwhere to come in to our midsts to assist in the making of a great city of Sedalia, the Charming Queen of the Prairies.

Prayers were offered in every Negro church in the State last night for the defeat of the bill, while the leading Negro educators and orators were protesting before the House Committee on Railroads against its passage. The Negroes had a well-planned and cleverly executed program before the committee. There was not one word uttered which could possibly give offense to any white man. The speeches combined wit, eloquence and pathos, and were considered an eloquent plea for the Negro. The Hall of the House of Representatives was packed with members and Jefferson City citizens.

Canda came on at the latter part of the program and brought it to a close by having the Negroes in the House sing "Nearer my Cod to Thea." The gallery was well crowded with Negro students of Lincoln Institute, the State School at Jefferson City, and the song was a reminder of the old time Negro camp meetings. Many St. Louis Speakers. The speakers were G. B. Vashon, a democrat of St. Louis; Dr. J. T. Cauton, Jefferson City; Prof. G. N. Grisham, principal of the Negro High School in Kansas City; Dr. George E. Stevens, St. Louis; Leon H. Jordan, Democrat, Kansas City; Rev. W. D. Cook, St. Louis; Rev, J. C. Caldwell, St. Joseph; Dr. J. H. Garnett Macon; Dr. Crossland, former U. S. Minister to Liberia, St. Joseph, and Nelson Crews, Kansas City. The Negroes were unanimous in their statements that the Negroes had no thought or desire for social equality of the whites and blacks, that the social gulf was a fact, and that no Negro hopes that the gulf will ever be bridged. Vashon said it would be an absolute impossibility to ever have social equality, and that the Negro realizes that fact. Another point made was that the Negro has been only 42 yrs in reaching his present state of civilization, while other races had spent centuries in coming from ignorance to education and civilization. The speakers said the white men of Missouri had done much for the Negro in giving him a school in which he could be educated and that the passage of a "Jim Crow" bill would do more to degrade the Negro, wound him and hinder him in his advancement than many years could do in restoring him to the position already gained. Ex. House Passes Mr. Johnston's School Bill by Constitutional Law Jefferson City, Feb. 14.—The house Thursday passed the bill by Mr. Johntson, of Pettis, establishing the office of the county supervision of shools in this state for every county. The bill got through by the exact constitutional vote of 72 to 51 votes against it. The measure was hard fought and the certification of the roll made no changes in the total. Mr. Dale, of Gentry, changed his vote from no to aye, which gave the exact vote required. The emergency clause was defeated and thus the law will not go into effect this spring should the senate pass the bill, which seems likely. It is a measure in the interest of the children of the state and is a companion, law to the compulsory educational bill which has done so much for the children of the state in the past two years. —Capital.

CONFERENCH ▲ SUCCESS. The committee appointed by Supreme Chancellor Starks to meet a similar committee from the Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere met last week in New York City. After a careful conference articles of agreement were drawn up and now await the signatures of the Heads of the two bodies. We desire to draw this lesson from. At such a time as this when the race is going through such an ordeal, it behooves us to be united in all good work. It would show to others the power of organization and the ability to hold great bodies together. It would also be in keeping with spirit of the age; combinations of great magnitude along similar lines. We hope that results have been such as that very soon we will have but one Supreme Jurisdiction of Knights of Pythias among us. —Lp, Record. The Negro Debater. The students of Kansas University are exhibiting a deal of inconductibility by raising a furore over that institution being represented by a Negro in a debating content between Kansas University and Baker University. If K. U. has a Negro who is big and brawny and nervy enough to make a foot ball team and becomes a star he becomes a hero of the first magnitude. When he tears up the line of an opposing team, especially the Tigers he is applauded and idolized as only a gridiron hero can be. When however, the Negro develops his head to an extent to open contest he is chosen over his white fellow students to represent the institution that he in a contest of mental gymnastics, there goes a howl that is heard clear across the state line The Kansas students haven't a peg to hang an objection upon. If the laws of the state allow Nego student to attend the University any of them should have the same advantage that any other students have. Their white associates have no license to object to them to them winning what honors they may. —Columbia Daily Tribune.

The Largest and Best Equipped Brewery in the World It is a proved fact that the Anheuser-Busch Beers are the most healthful in the world, and that alone is the reason why you should use no other. 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," according to M. Remy, the correspondent of the Paris Temps, "was Mrs. Tetrell of Washington, a lady of Andalusian complexion, who in case of manner, gracefulness and force of gesture and naturalness of expression was abroad 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 married 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 sympathetic demeanor she did ```markdown ``` apped Brewery in the World Anheuser-Busch Beers are world, and that alone is the no other. BEER Brewer's Art. Sold Every that you get Lemp's.

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 taiumph 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 attainments and general demeanor 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 widely cultured woman will learn as George R. Smith College, Scarborough, Mo., February 11.

If Tillmanism is to take the place of Democracy in Missouri, the inevitable result is shown unmistakably by the manifest facts of the present and the immediate past. The Democratic party will lose its last foothold which gives it national standing. That foothold is now Missouri. Tillmanism, forces race issues in front of the vital issues of progress, has already cut down Democratic strength until in the U. S. Senate it promises to become a Democratic triumph to be able to keep senators enough to force a rollcall. No party can hold together on the single issue of being "better than a nigger" or of "putting every nigger's face in the sand" if he does not "know his place." This is Tillmanism, as Senator Tillman himself has defined it repeatedly. As an issue, when it is forced, it becomes the single "paramount" party issue of the party which rallies to it. No party can create it and hold any other issue at the front with it. It may carry South Carolina, but not Missouri. If "Jim Crow" acts and similar acts are passsed for the sole purpose of forcing this "race issue" to avoid other issues in Missouri, Missouri will repudiate Tillmanism and all who stand for it. Missouri Negroes "know their place" well enough to create no issue of race against white people. But whether they do or not there are enough Democrats in Missouri who know their place to make it impossible for Tillmanism to take the place of Democrany in Missouri and win.—Post Dispatch Feb, 12, '07. (Dem.) A Lincoln Douglass Celebration The citizens of Sedalia crowded the Missionary Baptist church Tuesday night until there was not standing room, to witness the exercises in commemoration of the Birthday Anniversaries of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Music was rendered by the chorus of Lincoln High School Mrs. Mattie L. Teeters presided at the organ. The singing was all that could be expected and the patriotic airs filled the hearts of the heares to an overflow. The following was the program presented on that occasion: Songs: Old Hundreds Invocation, Rev. Robert Adkins Biographical Sketch of Abraham, Miss Agnes Miller Biographical Sketch of Frederick Douglass, Miss Eva Parker Song, "America," Choral Union Address, Rev. Wm. Alexander Address, Rev. G. W. Ball Song, "Hail Columbia," Chorus Address, Dr. C. S. Walden Address, Prof. A. C. Maclin Address, W. H. Huston Song,"Battle Hymn of the Republic," Lincoln Choral Union Prof. C. C. Hubbard, principal of Lincoln High School, deserves the credit for originating this meeting. Aside from the manifest interest he takes in his school teachers, pup's and patrons, he is constantly alive to the community's wants and he is ever ready to do all he can to satisfy them. The Conservator wishes to encourage all parents and patrons to keep more closely in touch with our sensible race leaders. Let them know that they have your co-operation by your having your children kept under cohervative restraint. Our congratulations to our good and useful principal and all others who are aiding him to properly direct our youth into avenues of usefulness. Attend the Terrell lecture at the College on the 21st.

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? Think you have received enough education to tide you thru 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 dimension there can be no doubt; but in to the voice of reason, "You is the seed time." Do you not know that the pathway of life is strewn with the bones of blighted manhood because of the preconceived idea that the educational scheme is fought with difficulty. There is no royal road to learning. So you say the door of hope is closed against the colored youth and why strive to become 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 commonwealth, 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 and some one, who threw away the precious moments as you are now doing, Listen to the answer of 30 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 pay it. Many—in the majority, "Procrastination is the thief of time." Leaf around day after day and will remain there. ed out as sheep for slaughter in busy affairs of life. Why bridle the manhood that desires to assert itself. Why grieve a thotful 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 into 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 to 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 jimcromism may be the last straw in the minds of men that you may be a benefactor to your race. Young man stay in school. IF YOU WISH to have YOUR HAIR become SOFT AND LENGTHY, you should use JACKSON'S MAGIC HAIR ELIXIR.
