The success which attended our efforts upon this occasion indicates clearly that with organization throughout the State and discreet management we can do much towards creating a healthy public opinion in regards to all matters bearing upon the interests of our race. The Negro is under criticism; he needs defense; his civil and political rights are in jeopardy he needs protection. For these reasons the delegation adopted a resolution while assembled in the A. M. E. Church, Jefferson City, Mo., February 13th. 1907, instructing the president and secretary of that gathering to invite a solemn convocation of the people of Missouri through their representatives, for the purpose of considering the advisability of a permanent organization. The meeting is hereby called g a Specialty of VOKO F. A. Sampion . SEDALIA, MO., SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1907. THE CONSTITUTION LEAGUE'S DEFENSE OF BLACK BATTALION ENDORSED BY MASSACHUSETTS COMMITTEE.

ABRAHAM GRANT President GEORGE E. STEVENS Secretary, St. Louis. SPRINGFIED, MO. Capt. B. F. Adams, writes on Pythianism, and the need of Competent Officers Prof. A. C. Maclin of George R. Smith College has been with me for several days in the interest of George R.—he left for Osceola this morning. Prof. Maclin is a ripe scholar, a splendid teacher, a christain gentleman and a strong Pythian. Greater Sedalia lodge should congratulate herself upon having such a Chancellor Commander, we need more such Pythians and "by the way" Grand Chancellor A; W. Lloyd is daily securing such material. THE CONSTITUTION LEAGUE'S TALION ENDORSED BY MAS A CLARION CALL TO ARM HEADQUARTERS SOLD COMM 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 Menson 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 coloured citizens, has for several months been in close personal touch with the management of "The Constitution League;" has been in confidential conference with its secretary; has given several hundred dollars into its hands to be expended at its discretion for the --- Blind Boone Concert Co. gave a special performance for our people at the C. P. church Tuesday night, this being the third time they have played here within the past 30 days. Bro. Boone and the writer are working up a club for a lodge at Osceola, and hope to organize a lodge there ere our meeting at Fayette. Brother Boone is going to be "IN IR" at Fayette this year. Brother F. J. Brown, Grand Lecturer, entertained the boys here very highly with his Pythian Lore and Grecian Legend, Bro Brown has raised the work of this high and important office, so that whoever follows him have something to do, he has just completed his tour thru the jurisdiction and doubtless all the lodges visited were benefitted. I guess, however, judging from what he said to us that he is now ready to give way for the writer when we meet at Fayette. Well Bro. Huston, next week will be a time in every subordinate lodge in Missouri,—The selection of officers for the next term. Kind of Officers Needed Our subordinate lodges need first of all competent men as presiding officers, secondly, they should be honest, devoted Pythians, who love the Order and will seek to build up and defend the principles for which our Order stands,—these officers need not necessarily be school-teachers nor professional men, but they should and must be competent soldiers' defense. It is after the actual experience and test that we publicly declare our absolute confidence in "The situation 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 Garrison's anti slavery society. Rev. R. C. Ransom Rev H J Callis Rev M. A. N.

They should be able to govern and control themselves, they should be easily approached and possess the power to draw men to them. No one should be chosen for an office simply because you like him and he is a good fellow, but chosen because he is good for something and because he can advance the work and interest of the lodge, again mer should be chosen who atter being competent, will devote their time and energies to the work and who are financiers. The rapid growth of our Order during the past seven years has been such that our subordinate lodges must have competent and honest leaders—men who accept office not for greed and gain, but that they may better subserve in the interests of their constituents Let every lodge in the jnisdiction select such a set of officers, as will reflect the intelligence and good judgement of the best Pythians and leadieg Negroes of the U. S. Much of the success of our subordinate lodges, depends upon the out come of the present elections. Then, brothers be wise and acquit yourselves like men, brothers and Pythains, Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd is giving us the men and lodges, so let us perpetuate his great work by putting the competent and representative men of the Order in office. Go to Fayette in July and show him how much we appreciate his untiring efforts and great work by re-electing him to succeed himself. Brother Knights, "Get Busy" and let us keep Pythianism in the fore front. Let us also not forget the "CONSERVOR" our official organ; Let us render it better support. Let us push it along. Bro.

As straw hats have to do When custom calls them to the front To make their debut In other years about this time, When all the world was bright And sunshine like a benison Poured down its waring light And blossoms bourgeoned to the air And birds came forth to sing. It did me proud indeed to join The harbingers of spring Not gayer in the gladsome days Were any birds or flowers. Or sunbams on the gossam Or moonlight lovers' journeys Than I the dazzling straw of spring That like a bursting boom Of beauty on the broad highway Dispelled the winter gloom My cheerful spirit met the sun, Reflecting all its rays In doubled radiance and c That, followed dreary I was the straw which show The way the spring wi And spring was really sping Came fully into view. But now—I tremble as I think How soon will come the When I have got to take the And shine along the way I shiver at the dreadful thou And wish there were a lot Compelling spring to warm it Before it put on straw. —W.

"Did you ever ever my set of rules tor resigning? I framed them up years ago when I was in newspaper business, and I have used them ever since. I have resigned often since then, always in the way prescribed in these rules. Perhaps they will be of service to you. Hee they are: "Rule 1. After receiving the last straw don't do anything for two hours. Above all, dont write anything. "Rule 2. At the expiration of two hours, write your resignation and make it as hot as you can. Reilieve your feelings and say every thing you have been penning up in your breast. Scorch the scoundrel. "Rule 3. Then go home. "Rule 4. The next morning read over your resignation and tear it up.
