But they are content to allow the Democrats to pass the bill and that their daughters, and wives should reap the benefit of it, while they shed crocodile tears over their dear colored brothers. As a matter of fact the Jim Crow law is hot a blow to the Negro. It does not say that Negroes shall not have the same rights in a car that whites have. It merely says that they shall sit in one end of the car and the whites in another. If Negroes are such desirable seatmates as the Star would make them appear, then the hardship is equally visited on the whites, for the proposed law will not permit a white person to sit in the Negro compartment. The law gives the Negro his due share of seats in the car and the white his share and says they shall not mingle. It but recognizes the laws of propriety as suggested by Nature and affords to the white women of the state that exclusion from unpleasant associations to which their refinement entitles them. STILL CONTEND FOR THEIR RIGHT TO ENTER TAIN THE GRAND LODGE. Every Requirement met. Fayette, Mo., Feb. 21.—All doubt as to whether this city will entertain the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of this state was removed last night at a joint session of Fayette Lodge No. 35, and Pythian Star Court No. 135 in their hall. Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd presided and after stating the many requirements necessary for the entertainment of this body, expressions from leading brothers and sisters was heard. Every requirement was carefully gone over and the local organizations agreed to meet them all. Ample provisions will be made for halls, homes, entertainment, transportation, protection and every thing necessary for a successful meeting. Yesterday afternoon, the Grand Chanceillor accompanied by B, F. F. Isaacs, Jr., J. H. Diggs and Editor W. H. Huston, drove over the city and noted careful observations of the homes, halls and other accommodations to be provided. At the night's session, every utterance was for the convention to come. All rumors were set aside and every condition was met frankly and easily satisfied. Fayette Pythians and Calantheans have begun work to afford royal entertainment for all who visit the city during the July Convention. All eyes will be directed Fayettewards from now until July, since all doubt has been removed. Following the discussion as to the things necessary to entertain the Grand Lodge, the following permanent officers and committees were elected and instructed: OFFICERS ON THE GRAND Lodge ASSIGNMENT COMMITTEE. B. F. Isaacs, chairman; J W Calloway, vice-chairman; Lureza Leonard, secretary; Mrs. Melvina Isaacs, asst't secretary; Mrs. Lulu Calloway, Treas.

Mayor John F. Fitzgerald of Boston, Democrat, appoints Colored Lawyer as assistant Health Commissioner—Best Salaried position Colored man has ever been appointed to in Massachussetts. (Boston Globe, Feb. 13, 1907.) The appointment of Edward Everett Brown, a well known colored lawyer, to the position of assistant health commissioner, with a salary of $2500 a year, was yesterday approved by mayor Fitzgerald. The mayor states that this is the first colored man to a position of large responsibilities ever made by a city administration in Boston. Mr. Brown was born in Dover, N, H., where he attended the the Dover High School. He studied law with Hon John H- White. After removing to Boston he studied law in the office of Gov. Gaston and at Boston University Law School. He has been practicing at the bar for 23 years. He is a member of the firm of Wolff & Brown, formerly Walker, Wolff & Brown. Mr. Brown has been a Democrat in local and state politics for several years. Last Fall he ran far ahead of his colleagues as a candidate for the legislature on the Democratic ticket in a Republican ward. He resides at 16 Fountain street. He is a member of the Bachbens Club. Chicago Tribune on Du Bois and Washington. There is convincing evidence of late the Prof. Du Bois, who is a brilliant and splendidly educated Nogro, has rapidly increased his following among the colored people, and that they are less and less inclined to listen the counsels of Booker Washington. There are said to be ten of Du Bois' books read now among the intelligent colored people where one of Booker Washington's is in circulation. The colored university of Atlanta (in which Prof. Du Bois is an honored professor) is said to be responsible for the rapid propagation of the idea among the Negroes that they must secure at all reserves a higher education."—Chicago Tribune.

THE ATLANTA NEWS GONE TO THE WALL A Welcome: Death The most welcome news received from Atlanta, Ga., within the last six months was the announcement that the Atalanta News, an an afternoon newspaper published in that city, had gone into liquidation. It was this sheet which through its offer of one thousand dollars reward for a lynching in Fulton County, its advocacy of Ku-Kluxism and its sensational extras proclaiming in boldface type alleged criminal assaults committed by Negroes, that brought about the Atlanta massacre. It is a distinct gain to the South that this malevolent sheet this breeder of race-hatreds, has died. It would have been better for Atlanta had the News never been born. In its last will and NO. 36.

We are glad that The News is dead and hope that in a few weeks The Georgian will be numbered among the dead and missing. Newspapers are not supposed to go to Hades when they die—they have it here on earth. But the former editor of The Georgian and the editor of a certain daily paper in this city, will certainly have choice seats in the internal regions if there is any truth in the religion which the white man professes.

Evil Effects of Perpetual Idleness. Temporary idleness, produced by sickness, over exertion, lack of employment, legal or industrial delays is excusable. But voluntary idleness, when there are none of these conditions apparent, is shameful and intolerable. Locally, we have too much loafing and idleness about the streets at all hours. Men and women, who are eternally and forever idle, are a menace to any community. They are even dangers to themselves. If they are constantly idle, with no visible means of support, what employs their minds? Temporary idleness, produced of employment, legal or industrial or monetary idleness, when there are now is shameful and intolerable.

It is very expedient for the conservative and industrious citizens to endeavor to remove the agencies that foster and maintain criminal life. There is a remedy, if our officers will do their duty, fearlessly, for the public good. Let us enumerate a cause for the increase in our population of loafers, which is as follows:—Penalties for offenses here are very mild. Hence the bum, thug, sneak thief, crap shooter and sand bagger can ply his trade without much fear, so long as "certain influences" can be used to lighten his penalty. 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 manual labor, to make them dread a repetition of a sentence for any subsequent 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, so cities and business enterprises invite the industrious, honest and frugal from everswhere to come in to our midst to assist in the making of a great city of Sedalia, the Charming Queen of the Prairies. We must make our city attract the desirable. We must make this city, our home, an incongenial locality for idleness and crime. To do so, we must insist upon our officers doing their duty. Gangs of loafers, blocking our thorough fares, should be broken up; lead women trailing the streets at any and all hours ought to be stopped; minors going in, out and about saloons, gambling houses and questionable resorts at will must be suppressed and the laws regulating saloons and other licensed reports should be impartially enforced. Unless the representative citizens see that these evils are looked after, they will combine their interests and then proceed to run everything and everybody to suit to suit themselver. When such conbitions arise, the Negro will be the greatest sufferer, reasonably true, because he will be the least able to defend himself. Sedalians, isn't this enough to make us thoughful?

The Annual Lecture under the auspices of the Students Lecture Bureau is the great event of the mid year. The Subject last Thursday night was "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject," it was an optimistic presentation of the progress of the race- This lecture was one of the best of the series. The attendance was large the singing good, and the financial returns satisfactory. In all respects the Bureau has reason to feel gratified over the success of the entertainment. Bishop Tuttle is Against "Jim Crow" Bill. Rt. Rev. Daniel F. Tuttle, bishop of the Episcopal church of Missouri, is very much opposed to the passage of the "Jim Crow" bill, and in a letter to Senator J. J. Prendergast of St. Louis says: "A bill is pending, I understand, before the Missonri legislature, aimed toward compelling the provision and use of separate cars or compartments for colored passengers on the railwas of the state. "It seems to me that, as God's providence has thrown the two races together in our state, it is in every way desirable that mutual understanding and reciproal good will should characterize the relations subsisting between them. I feel convinced that the passage of such a bill would not conduce to such desirable result. "If you agree with me, I shall be glad and grateful for your earnest opposition to the passage of such a bill." A Compliment From the Supreme Chancellor. The Supreme Chancellor S W Starks, in a recent communication to our office avails himself of the opportunity to state "Please accept my congratulation upon the excellent paper you are making the Conservator." For such an important compliment from one so high in our Pythian rank, we feel exceedingly grateful. News Items. Utopia Court initiated several candidates recently. Still there are more to follow. It is a settled fact that the Knights of Tabor and the Pythian Grand Lodges will convene in Fayette during the month of July.

CLIN TON CLIN TON The Revival which began in the St James M E church Dec 31,06 and continued until Feb 9,07, resulted in the conversion of thirty two adults and five children, all united with the church. The affect of the meeting upon the church has been as an alarm cry sounded in the ears of a man sleeping upon the verge of a precipice and awakening him from some intoxicating dream. The Holy spirit seemed to have entered into the life of the church to an extent that almost absorbs or at any rate, overshadows it. The bond that united us has grown firmer, there is a sympathetic affection established among us that never existed before and perhaps never would have existed but for this most fortunate circumstances The Revival seemed to have en gendered a very strong marked desire and earnest will in each member to perform honorably and faithfully the duties of the church Cor.

In another part of this week's issue of the Chicago Conservator is a strong appeal by Dr. Booker T. Washington, as urged by the Frederick Douglas Memorial and Historical Association, to the members of the race all over the country to come forward with a small amount of money each and save to the race the home of the late sage of Anacostia, and this appeal should touch every Negro's heart in this country. The little money that is needed to put this property, worth more then $50,000 now, where it will forever stand as a monument to this great Douglass and a national credit to the race, should be forthcoming at once. To have one's name stand for ages among the honest list that contributes to the race. - We are deliberately weakening the white race of the South while gradually strengthening the black race of the South. But the whites will find it impossible to keep the Negro boy and girl out of both the school and the workshop. He is here and here to stay and in spite of bad legislation he will in some credit be the equal of the white. Ex.

DFS MOINES Des Moines, Ia. , Feb. 13.—The six churches in this city are being evangelized and each pastor is doing missionary work by visiting all the homes in the city. Dr. Chapman, the great Evangelist and his host of preachers and singers, 24 in number, were with us. One, Dr. Luroy Butler, of New York, a Negro preacher, conducted the meeting in the colored district. There were 10 districts in the city and an Evangelist was sent to each. The colored district had a choir of voices, led by Prof. Holt. Ports are that more than 1300 joined the church. Only 4 of the six colored churches joined in the religious movement, namely: A. M. E. Church, Dr. S. Brooks, pastor; Corinthian Baptist Church, Rev. T L Griffith, pastor; Maple St. Baptist Church, Rev. J O Wimbush, pastor; Burns Chapel M E Church, O. A Johnson, the writ er, pastor, who was elected convener, head of the entire Colored District Union, by the Ministerial Association. My duties were to see that the church was well arranged, see that the choir and congregation were well supplied with books, see that the Evangelist's fare was paid round trip from New York, which was $61. 45. We exceeded the fare $90 as we promised to send him away satisfied. We are expecting to make a good report at our annual conference at Joplin, next month.

H. Huston. In 3 years, I have missed getting only 2 issues. You're, bott Sunday caused us to have quite a shock. While attending Sabbath School he took very ill. For eight or ten minutes he seemed almost helpless, though perfectly conscious. He was immediately taken to residence of Ed Harris where he received special medical aid and was soon feeling much better. He was not able to be on duty while in our city. The quarterly meeting service were conducted by guest Rev Joe C Guyton and Rev G W Smith of the A M E Church. Rev Abbott is a wide awake man in his professional duties, and it is mainly due to an abuse of the nervous system. He was able to leave her home Wednesday morning. The entire church community extend sympathy to him and wish for him a speedy recovery. TWO-CENT FARE FOR NEB. Lincoln, Neb. 22.—By a vote of 90 to 0, the house.
