He has, for the past ten years, been a student and tutor of Geo. R. Smith College, where he was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts on the 30th ult. Thoroughness of scholarship, manliness in deportment, godliness in character, inubustrous in habits and a loftiness of ideals are the noticeable traits of his character. During his recent years in college, he has been an active member of the college Y. M. C. A., Masonian literary society and an important officer in Greater Sedalia lodge No. 42, K. of P's.

Tuesday morning, the gradua- THE CONSTITUTION LEAGUE'S TALION ENDORSED BY MAS A CLARION CALL TO ARMS HEADQUARTERS SOLDEN COMMIG Boston, Mass., April, 1907.—Recognizing the unlawful discharge of the "Black Battalion" of the Twentyfifth U. S. Infantry by the Chief Executive of the U. S. as another blow at the Constitutional rights of American citizens, "The Constitution League of the United States" has of its own volition taken up the fight of the discharged soldiers and supported the Hon. Joseph Henson Foraker, Senator from Ohio, in his splendid effort to maintain Constitutional rights for American citizens. We, the members of the committee for the "Soldiers' Defense Fund" of Massachusetts, heartily endorse the appeal issued by "The Constitutional League" for funds to carry on this great work of constitutionally establishing the rights of American citizens, regardless of race, creed or color. We do hereby urge the members of our race to form committees by public mass meetings or otherwise and to raise funds to help "The Constitution League." We especially appeal to the editors of colored newspapers to publish gratis, and as possible, this, our appeal, and the appeal by "The Constitution League." We also appeal to all churches, secret societies, other racial organizations and individuals of our race to aid "The Constitution League" in its laudable effort to secure the rights of the citizens in this country, whether soldiers or civilians. This committee, purposely crawn from diverse elements and groups of Massachusetts colored citizens, has for several months been in close personal touch with the management of "The Consti tion League;" has been in con fiidential conference with its secretary; has given several hundred dollars into its hands to be expended at its discretion for the ting service from the College of Liberal Arts was a very impressive service. Reuben Q. Wright received the degree of Bachelor ot Arts, after having delivered a very scholarly oration. Dr. C. M. Lowe delivered the College Oration. He production was a gem of eloquence, scholarship and philosophical common sense. Many prominent churchmen were present during the concluding service. We noted the following:—Rev. W. H. Smith, presiding elder of the Sedalia district: Rev. A. H. Higgs, presiding elder of the St. Joseph district; Rev. B. F. Abbott presiding elder of the St. Louis district; Rev. R. E. Gillum, D.

It is after this actual experience and test that we publicly declare our absolute confidence in "The stitution League" and recommend it to the colored Americans of the country as a most excellent agency in character and ability to receive and handle funds for the soldiers' defense, and for the enforcement of the National Constitution in all its parts, in accordance with its name. We declare "The Constitution League" to be the boon of the race, the greatest cause for hope, the rightful successor of Garri son's anti slavery society. Rev. R. C. Ransom Rev H J Callis Rev M, A, N.

Foraker as a Constitutional Defender. In these days of greed and rush for fience, it seems almost impossible that thereican, who loves the constitution so well thatical career for its defense. Some have al he days of greed and rush for financial and emms almost impossible that there remains on oves the constitution so well that he will im for its defense. Some have alleged diver In these days of greed and rush for financial and political influence, it seems almost impossible that there remains one great American, who loves the constitution so well that he will imperil his political career for its defense. Some have alleged divers reasons for this American taking the stand he maintains with such dignity and ability. But all allegations and aspersion fade into vaporous chaos, when the greater proposition of defending the constitution is involved. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is destined to win a position abreast of Hamilton, Madison, Webster, Sumner, Blaine, Garfield, Lincoln and still others of that grand array of Constitutional Defenders. These men gave life and character to a constructive statesmanship, because they built sentiment that culminated in laws. And these laws benefitted humanity, high and low. Little men charge Foraker with stirring up "Race Feeling, sowing the seeds of "Sectionalism," "Fighting the President" and, above all else of having a "Head of his own." As we see it every time any man is brought to time for imposing upon Negroes, some fellow will "holler" race problem or some other silly rot. If the contention to have the Negro enjoy his constitutional rights, civil, military or industrial means "Race Issues," we say let her go gallagher. We know why this old cry is made and what motive prompts its utterance. It is to scare the timid and to discredit Mr. Foraker. If President Theodore Roosevelt out of his heart of tender compassion, can raise his great personality in righteous protest against Russian maltreatment of the Jews, who are aliens to our laws, customs, institutions and sentiments, surely Senator Foraker is reason able in his contention to secure a hearing for American citizens, who have imperilled their lives for their country's defense and have heroically risked much to win glory for the noble Jewish defender, our Presipent. Roosevelt may forget the Black Phalanx at San Juan Hill but the American people never shall go long as such men as Foraker are here to defend the heroes that immortalized that locality. As to Mr. Foraker's sectional feelings, we have this to say, the South is always wrong on its interpretation of the constitution. It is constantly using the Negro issue as a chisel to efface its everlasting beauties. If such fearless defenders as Foraker and others prior to his day, did not join issue with the arrogant South, we would have no sisterhood of states. History has proven that the greatest defenders and noblest heroes are those who espouse the cause of lowhest of the lowly. Therefore, when Mr. Foraker espouses the cause of the Negro, said to be insignificant by many, he is pursuing the proper course to gain renown. But we have nobler ideas as to the "why" of his contents. We believe that he loves the constitution so dearly that he is ready at anytime to oppose anybody, President, down or up, who is in opposition to its lofty teachings and practical usages. Of course all Negroes love him because he stands for a practical application of the "Square Deal" policy. No one American is able to do all the thinking for this great American people. So why become vexed at Foraker because he presumes to think for himself. He is cultured, fearless, aggressive, frank and experienced. All the Roosevelts, Tafts, Longworths and their combined following will find a worthy foeman in Joseph Benson Foraker, the constitutional Defender from Ohio.

The brothers are all invited and should attend as we always owe the sisters encouragement in the good work. When we have something there is no evil present it is a very tame affair so let us turn out at all times with the sisters we retain their good will success is our. They are taking hol of all within reach. They love the order and woman-like are trying to do all they can so as to be like a man. I must say the brothers here are too slow they are afraid to accept an invitation for fear that it will cost them something. Tell some of them they are invited out and the first question is, How much will it cost? If answered twenty-five cent his retort usually is, "I can't go." Another will say, "Well I will try and come." Another replies "I am not working much now and cannot spare the money now." If you want to find out why he cant spare the money, just drop into one of the social club rooms and there many of them will be found drinking and playing their favorite games saying "Come and have a game you can't loose much in this it only a nickel a game, and no one can be robbed Now I ask our readers if I am your brother and win all your money and allow you to go home emptyhanded to your wife and children, have I not robbed you and your family?

It was the opinion of the grand jury of Fulton County, Ga., in which Atlanta is situate, and the opinion of the committee of business men of that city who published a report on the race riot there, at the Atlanta News, a sensational afternoon paper, had much to do with inciting the rioters to violence. It is worth recording, therefore, that early in February this newspaper became bankrupt and was sold by order of the court to satisfy its creditors.

The association will be known as the Pettis County Anti-Trespassing association and the officers are: D. H. Smith, president; W. H. Gentry, secretary and treasurer. The association passed the following resolution: Resolved, that the members of this association request that they be deputized as officers if necessary to enforce the regulations of association. The association will hold its next meeting at the Sedalia Printing company's hall Saturday, June 1, at 3. p. m. The following is the agreement adopted by the association: We the undersigned citizens, owning and controlling farms in Pettis county Mo., do hereby associate ourselves together for the purpose of arresting and prosecuting all persons found hunting or trespassing on the enclosed lands of any of the members of the association. And hereby agree and bind our selves to aid and assist in the arrest and presecution of all persons found treapassing as floresaid, and agree to give notice to each other when hunters or treapassors are known to be upon the lands of this association. This action has been necessary on account of many injuries to stock by hunters and gates being left open by trespassers. D. H. Smith Gentry Bros. Shepherd & Sons F. M. Wise Thos. Fleming W. D.

A. Pemberton and John McKelvey, State Organizers, for the National Benevolent Society are in the city in the interest of that society, which gives sick, accident and life insurance to parties between the ages of 18 and 48 regardless of color. Having been a member of the society for several years, I know it to be a strong organization, always prompt in the adjustment of all claims against it. I speak from experience, since I have had occasion to draw some from them myself. Therefore I cheerfully recommend them to my friends, who may wish good and reliable protection. Respectfully Yours. WALTER PARKER. HOPES REALIZED What the future holds we cannot tell Nor what years to come will bring But down the vague, dim aisles of time The voice of conquest rings We come today with hopes fulfilled We see hope's golden domes The far off pinnaeels of fame Shine in the noon-day sun What e'er our aims in life may be, Where'er our paths diverge Somewhere on the bright heights of fame Again our lives may merge We always hope to keep in view The far off lights of heaven. Let right and truth the motto be Of the class of "nineteen seven" When the glorious sun-set's glow of gold Lights up the purpluring hills These days will oft in memory come In the twilight calm and still Then when Ocean's roar no more is heard When dawns and twilights cease When Geo. R. students meet no more May our paths be paths of peace F. A. HUGHES. What Have We Done Today? What shall do so much in the years to come; But what did we give to day? We shall lift the heart and dry the tear, We shall plant a hope in the place of fear We shall speak the words of love and cheer; But what did we speak today? We shall be so kind in the afterwhile; But what have we been today? We shall bring each lonely life a smile; But what have brought today? We shall give to truth a grander birth, And to steadfast faith a deeper worth, We shall feed the hungering soul of earth; But whom have we fed today? We shall reap such joys in the by-and-by But what have sown today? We shall build us mansions in the sky; But what have we built today? Tis sweet in idle dreams to bask. But here and now do we our task? Yes, this is the thing our soul must ask: "What have done today." RICHMOND Tidings. This section has been visited by several hard rains.
