DOCTOR DU Bois IN NEW YORK. GREETED BY HUNDREDS OF ENTHUSIASTIC CITIZENS FROM EVERYWHERE. An extract from the address delivered by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois at Carnegie Hall, New York Feb. 18, on "Negro Ideals:" We want knowledge. We are ignorant in the sense of being illiterate, unable as a mass to open the door of knowledge in its outer vestibules. We are unacquainted with modern process of work and technique. We are unacquainted with the best traditions of family life, and the methods of democratic government, with what the world has come to distinguish as the greter ideals of life. Nor is this ignorance wholly ovr own fault, if it were, we would have a perfect right to stand before modern civilization and ask as our due deliverance from the fetters of this ignorance. But, when in addition to that we are ignorant because of the deliberate plan and law of the country to which we belong, in which we were born, and which we have served, we would have all the more right not simply to ask and to complain, but to complain bitterly and persistently. The laws of States for generations forbade us to learn, and even today, when it is assumed that the Negro is receiving too much education for his good, not one Negro child in three is attending regularly the public schools, or having any reasonable chance to learn how to read and write. Not only are the Negro schools bad, but, now in some few cities, they are worse today, than they were ten years ago, and there is no sign of their getting better. We are beyond the pale of human brotherhood in the simple matter of protecting human life. In Atlanta during the riot, when the white people had killed the Negroes by dozens and the militia came upon the scene to restore order, what was done? The Negroes were disarmed and the white mob was armed. Any white man prabtically could buy arms. We were left naked to our enemy —Kentucky Reporter. designed and built some of the best public buildings in the country. His work is not all local. Some of the most prominent buildings are as follows: True-Reformers' building, at Washington, D.C., costing $100000 Good Hope building, at Baltimore, Md., said to be the largest building in the United States designed by a Negro, at a cost of $200,000. A twenty-room residence for Dr W. L. Uaylor, Richmond, Va., at a coat of $14,000. Queen Street Baptist church at Norfolk, Va., costing $40,000. And there are hundreds of other buildings of more or less cost and importance. Every Negro in this country should see to it that this young man shall have a chance to design the churches, school houses and society and business buildings. He can do it as well and as cheap as any white man. He gives employment to hundreds of our race. He makes plans and specifications from, written or pinnacle drawings, and mails them to any section of the country and will [Picture of a man with a white shirt and black tie]. REUBEN QUINCY WRIGHT Of Napton, Mo., who graduates this year from the College of Liberal Arts has been a student at the George R. for ten years. He graduated from the Acadamy in 1904, and now completes the full College course with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. During his connection with the College, he has taken a leading part in classroom, literary society (Masonian) and Christian work. During the entire ten years he has made his way by self help alone. In Memoriam LANKFORD—At Potosi, Mo., Thursday Feb., 27, '07. Anderson Lankfosd age70 years 25 days. Mr. Lankford died of apoplexy at his home 9:30 o'clock Thursday morning. He was reared in his native country and was highly respected by all who knew him. He took a deep interest in educational matters, and as a citizen, and was ever found on the side of morality and right. Mr. Lankford was married to Nancy Johnson in 1858. To this union eleven children were born ten of whom survive him viz: Phillip, Ella, Franklin, (now Mrs Boyd) J. A., Bert, Prot Arthur and Miss Dayse Lankford. Mr. Lankford was a consistent christian for over 20 year and was installed as deacon in the Baptisit church in 1892. He had filled the various relation of life as husband, father, brother and friend and filled them well. He lived nobly and died peacefully, few of us will live as long or as well. "Tishard to breaka tender chord, When love has bound the heart, Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words Must we forever part?" The funepal services were held at the church Friday afternoon 2:30 o'clock W. W. Goff officiating Negro Student Wins Honora.

Methodism graduates sixteen from the Grammar School Academy and one from the College of Liberty-Three from her various literary courses, showing, when all the difficulties, real and imprecisely had to overcome, are considered at the year, more than: One Hundred and Eleven and, they have remained in very nice detail. This is a pretty good showing but it should be, if some systematic efforts were school by Central Missouri Methodism. That Missouri Methodists, as an organic creative interest in this, their own Institute, they would have it remain as a competitor with institutions in and about the state. Several, nameyi: Industrial, Commercial and Scientific strengthened. Too much is left for the do that could be accomplished by a little Missouri Methodism. The spirit of indifference to an ambition to place this Institution on our institutions, her competitors, in every work and practical utility. It can be done in all of it! Only $160.77 raised throughout conference, during the year, for the Industrial of this school. Taylor's Chapel, Sedalia, a amount in one conference year—the year George R. Smith College is the property members and probationers that constitute Missouri Conference. It is, therefore, the book of us to consider the interests of this School being paramount to all other similar institutions. Conditions now demand action; less Institution to hold her own, her department, a reliable basis of practical utility. To they and not talk. Therefore, the only schoolists of this state to do is to raise funds for the development and maintenance of this Institution that need encouragement, an spent in grumbling about certain conditions do not like. If the thousands of men should get as busy in working for the school about it, we shall soon acquire a force of influence, because those in authority could grow ear. "Work accomplished" is always true. WORK GIVEN PROMPT ATTENDANCE Our new WASHINGTON JOBBER has been installed and we are now ready to take our orders for Programs, Circulars, Card Developes, Letter Heads, Statements & etc. An Explanation for Last Week's Omission. We wish to state to our patrons that on account of an accident in our JOB DEPARTMENT last week, we were thrown so far behind that we could not issue on time. You will find this edition full of the "Real Stuff." For the omission, the Management asks your pardon and, begs to assure each of you that you will be fully repaid. Women Should Be Excluded From Our Saloons. Lewd women are given too much latitude in our city. They are constant frequenters of wine-rooms, where almost weekly some unspeakable crime is committed. Our police records are marked by gross immoralities and shocking inhumanities that are results of a "wide open city." Some restraints should be used. Preparations For An Active Spring's Work Has Begun. Every line of business is making preparation for the approaching Spring and Summer. It is hoped that new and progressive Race Enterprises, will be started in every available quarter. Our own city needs a First Class Ice Cream Parlor and Refreshment resort. Renewed efforts should be made to place our groceries on a firmer and more accommodating bases. A lively and energetic denist could do well here. While there is an excellent opening for a Drug business, an Undertaking establishment and an Employment Bureau for colored men and women. It is the time of year when everybody should get busy. Help us to keep everybody on the move. If all are kept busy, there will be less crime to combat. What Missouri Methodisrs Should Do For George R. Smith College. On page Four of this edition, you will find an announcement of the 14th Annual Commencement of the George R. Smith College. This Institution graduates sixteen from the Grammar School; sixteen from the Academy and one from the College of Liberal Arts—a total of Thirty-Three from her various literary courses. A commendable showing, when all the difficulties, real and imaginary, that this school has had to overcome, are considered at their face value. During the year, more than One Hundred and Fifty students have matriculated and, they have remained in very nicely, as the records will certify. This is a pretty good showing but, it is by no means what it should be, if some systematic efforts were put forth to push the school by Central Missouri Methodism. It is an irrefutable fact that Missouri Methodists, as an organic entity, are not taking the active interest in this, their own Institution, as they should, if they would have it remain as a competitor with other educational institutions in and about the state. Several departments of the school, nameyi: Industrial, Commercial and Scientific need to be adequately strengthened. Too much is left for the Cincinnati authorities to do that could be accomplished by a little concerted effort of Missouri Methodism. The spirit of indifference must be supplanted by an ambition to place this Institution on a par with all other similar institutions, her competitors, in every phase of her educational work and practical utility. It can be done; let's do it. Just think of it! Only $160.77 raised throughout the Central Missouri Conference, during the year, for the Industrial Educational Interests of this school. Taylor's Chapel, Sedalia, more than doubled that amount in one conference year—the year the school was built. George R. Smith College is the property of the Seven Thousand members and probationers that constitute the laity of the Central Missouri Conference. It is, therefore, the bound and duty of every one of us to consider the interests of this School of Higher Education as being paramount to all other similar institutions to be found anywhere. Conditions now demand action: let us get busy. For this Institution to hold her own, her departments must be placed upon a reliable basis of practical utility. To do so, it will require money and not talk. Therefore, the only sensible thing for the methodists of this state to do is to raise funds and apply them towards the development and maintenance of those departments of this Institution that need encouragement. Too much time has been spent in grumbling about certain conditions that certain individuals do not like. If the thousands of methodists in this state would get as busy in working for the school as many are in talking about it, we shall soon acquire a force of influence that we could use effectively, because those in authority could afford to give us a listening ear. "Work accomplished" is always heard.

In our April election there will be several propositions to be considered. Prominent among them being the extension of our municipal limits, the election of a county school commissioner, the election of two school directors, an increase in our school tax, and the election of four aldermen. Every one of these propositions affect every citizen of this municipality Therefore they should be carefully considerek and acted upon with wise conservatism and thought. We are in favor the extension of our corporate limits. We are in favor the regular increase in our school tax. We are in favor of the reelection of Prof. G. L. Coleman for county school superintendent. We are in favor of retaining Messrs Johns and Powell on our city school board. We are in favor of electing capable business men and not politicians for aldermen. All of the above propositioos we favor because we believe, if a majority of our citizens sees it thus, the Public Good will be properly conserved. WORK OF THE WARDS Pursuant to a call issued by the republican city committee, the voters of the severnl wards assembled at the usual meeting places Monday night and selected candidates for aldermen. Lee Carpenter, the candidate of the First ward republicans, is one of the most active young republicans of the city. He is a worker, and has several times been solicited by the party to accept a nomination for office, but has heretofore declined. In th. Second ward the nomination was given to J. H. Sullivan, the present member of the council, and one of the representative citizens of his ward.-Daily Capital The selections made meet our hearty approval, since each of them represents a high type of citizenship. Three wards having instructed their delegates to support W. M. Johns for school director assures his reelection. A wiser choice could not have been made. Mr. Johns has given much attention to the needs of Lincoln School, his service on the board. We apreciate his thoughtfulness. THE MAGNET FIRST-CLASS WORK GUARANTEED.

Go to the Country Says Bishop Grant No Insistent Calls of Stony-hearted Landlords, He Declares. Macon, Mo., March 3.--"No man has right to buy a $30 suit of clothes until he has a farm big enough to support himself and his family, and the means to bury himself decently when dead," remarked Bishop Abram Grant of Kansas City in the course of a lecture at the A M E church here today. "It is not disgraceful to appear in the dress of a working man. It is the man inside the clothes that is the real adorment, and if the man is not real you can't make him so, though you clothes him with the trapping of a prince "Another thing I would like to impress upon the young men of to day is that the purest and best atmosphere for them is in the country: there you find the rugged hard working children of nature. The vices of the city are unknown to them. Aud yet they thrive all opportunity for refinement and education. The rural mail carrier brings the newspapers and magazines. The telephone puts them in close communication with their friends. Every modern convenience is theirs, without the temptation of the congested centers. As a consequence, they grow up into stalwart manhood and loyal womanhood, useful to their families and theis communities; laying a good bank account and adding year by year to their domains. The countryman lays his head down at night undisturbed by dreams of insistent call on terror row by stonyhearted landlords, butchers, bakers and hundreds of others with their bills, which seem to be always growing. He arises at an hour that suits him best, as he is his own boss, and labors cheerfully, with the knowledge that his effort is going to him and his, and not to money lenders and wage sharks. If he wants to visit the city now and then he has the money to travel on, and more to spend while there than his relatives who live there. "It is the ideal life for the average man man—the kealthful life of the rurals. He lives longer, has better digestion and cleaner morals. Thus blessed, he can efford to lose the fascination of the throng, which is made up, for the most part, of cogwheels in somebody else's machine."

We hope to make this one of the grandest sessions ever held in the state. Now members read the Sedalia Conservator and find out what we are doing. I know that a copy of the Conservator is sent each week to all of our lodges; yet this is no reason why that members of the order an individual should be tardy about subscribing for the paper as it costs is than 2 cts per week. Stop borrowing your neighbors paper and subscribe yourself and thus assist in maintaining and supporting one of the best printing establishments among our people in this country. Let us feel for each other-good, that, there must be self-denial and in all we do, be prompted by pure motives. Let us build a monument of peace whose base shall be the bond of unity and let it rise, until the rays of peace and the glorious light of Friendship, Charity and Benevolence shall kiss its apex from every side.
