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. His graduating oration was a production of literary merit and his powers of thouhght and forcefulness of delivery. "Archias," as the boys all call him, will win his way, because, in mind of waiting for opportunities to come to him, he will make opportunities for himself. College Com- mencement.

Davis. He touched on many important and vital questions. The advise to the graduates was anperb. One thing he mentioned to the class was to "find out what you want to do; be at it." At 10:30 a.m the three graduating classes marched in led by Dr. Lowe, and Rev. Davis.

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.

Everywhere we see an abuudance of pouthful life, Vegetation is busy in its work of ger- mination aud development. Idleness in nature, during the spring revival is unknown. Among the lower animals we notice greater agility; quicker movement; brighter eyes; keener appotites and an industriousnese that is ev'dent and lasting. Birds, bees, toads, flies and every phase of auinal is busily engaged in keeping pace with the advance movements of spring. Wha} then dose this seuaon demandof everything? Its dem7nd is for workers enerjetic, everlasting and productive. —_If vegeta- tion and animal life are eagerly in pursuit of industry, why should so many men and women anb women remain idle. Too much idle ness exist here in Pedalia. It bas become almost intolerable. There is a demand for laborer at good wages. No oneneeds to by idte now. | Why be unemployed since there is no virtue in “living easy.” Young men, the season and oppottunity both urge you to be employed at something honorable and renumerative, Foraker as a Constitutional Defender. In these days of greed and rush for financial and political influ- ence, it seems almost impossible that there remains one great Amer- ican, who loves the constitution so well that he will imperil his polit ical career for its defense, Some have alleged divers reasons for this American taking the stand he maintains with such digaity and ability, But all allegations and aspersion fade into vaporous chaos, when the greater proposition: of defending the constitutiva 1s in- volved. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is destined to win a position a- breast of Hamilton, Madison, Webster, Sumner, Blaine, Garfield, Liacoln and stili others of that grand array of Consiitutional De‘en- bars, These men gave life and character toa constructive states- manship, because t.ey built sentiment that culminated in laws. And these laws benefitted humanity, high and low. Little men charge Foraker with stirring up ‘Race Fecling, sow- ing the seeds of “*Sectionalism,” “Fighting the President” and, above all else of having a “Head ot his own.” As we ste it every time any man is brought to time for impos- iug upon Negroes, some fellow will “holler” race problem or some other sillyrot. If the contention to have the Negro enjoy his con: stitutional rights, civil, military or industrial means ‘Race Issues,” we say jet ‘er gogallagher. We know why this old cry is made and what motive prom:ts ‘ w'terance, It is to scare the timid and to discredit Mr, Fura! r. If President Theodore Roosevelt out of his heart of tender com- passion, cap raise his great personality in righteous protest against Russian maltreatment of the Jews, who are aliens to our laws, cus- toms, 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 so long as such menas For- aker are here to defend the heroes that immortalized that locality. As to Mr, Forake.'s sectional feelings, we have this to say, the South is always wrong on its interpretaticn of the constitution. It is constantly using the Negro issue asa chiscl to efface its everlast- ing beauties. If such fearless defenders as Foraker and othecs 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 defeaders andaoblest hero- es are tose who espouse the cause of lowlest of thelowly. There- fore, when Mr. Foraker espouses the cause of the Negro, said to be insignificant by many, be is pursuing the proper course to gain renown, But we have noble~ ideas 13 to the “why” of his eonten- tions, We belicve that he loves the constitution so dearly that he is ready at anytime to oppose anybody, President, dowa 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 appli: cation oi the “Square Deal" policy. No one American is able to doall tae thinking for this great American people. So why become vexed at Foraker because he presumes to think for himself, He 1s cultured, fearless, aggres- sive, frank and experienced, Allthe Roosevelts, Tafts, Longworths and their combined following will find a worthy foeman in Joszph Renson Foraker, the constitutional Defeuder from Ohio, JOB-WORK GIVFN PROMPT ATTENTION Our new WASHINGTON JOBBER a been’ installed’and we arenow ready to jake your orders for Programs, Circulars, Cards, Envelopes, Letter Heads, Statements & etc. 5 Calo Write yh SERRE es 1h bina hast ba A ie. gph ..
