Sedalia Weekly Conservator. Why A Pythian The question that may be asked by the outside world, I mean those who have not walked the thorny path, why are people Pythians, why are persons flocking so swiftly to the order? These questions and many others may arise in an observing mind, so to speak, yet the same person might forget that there are underlying principles that are the very sinew of the Order. In everything that a man affiliates himself with, when he does so from a pure motive, is for the betterment of himself and the race, better for the community and the country in which he moves and has his being. When one takes upon himself various occupations, they are taken with the express purpose of bettering his condition and those depending upon him and just in proposition as he improves and betters his surroundings, so in proportion will the enjoyment be improved. So it is with one who has taken upon himself the ties of Pythianism as there are great virtues which he is bound to emulate if he stands in the great advancement and those virtues are the corner stone of our Order and when one stands out among the dangers of this world and shows the true spirit of Friendship, Charity and Benevolence, one can rightly say "There are reasons why he is a Pythian;" for anything that has for its object the advancement of human happiness or human intellect; anything that tends to draw together the condition of mankind or to lessen the ills and miseries to human life anything that draws closer ties of human sympathy and strengthens the bonds of brotherhood between man and man, is not only worthy of approbation, but the warmest support and admiration. That such is the object of the Knights of Pythias, none who have taken the trouble to investigate its principles and operation will attempt to deny. When the Almighty Architect of the Universe spake and this sphere in which we inhabit burst; into light and loveness, every fundamental principle on which our order is based was stamped with the signet of omnipotence upon her young and unstaired being, there to remain in legible and enduring characters as constituent elements of her perpetuity and existence. Friendship then weaves her silken bonds; charity breathes forth her strains of mutual sympathy and confiding tenderness while benevolence above, around and beneath, sheds her blaze of of living light, as unsullied and pure as the rays that eminate from the throne of the eternal God.

There may be those, who join simply to find out the curiosities within and after securing such, may think that they will then pass by, so to speak. But when he has attained for himself simply the "Looked for, curiosity," it fills the mind with a desire to know what is to be farther on. Such desires are rarely artified until all Pythian mysteries are unravelled by the individual becoming a thoroughly initiated brother. Friendship, Charity and Benevolence, when combined in the mind of the newly initiated, are sufficient to satisfy the most sanguine anticipations. Yet there are those who may say the Order is a secret and that secrecy is not in consonance with innocence. 'Tis true that we are in part a secret society, but is se- F. CB .... Atter All who wa BIG S Must send crecy a crime? The world itself the universe, the God of Eternal Truth are surrounded by as impenetrable veil that no mortal eye ever pierced. And, shall it be denied that these exist because their secrets are not revealed at our bidding? Shall we pronounce them evil because their plan of operation is hidden from our immediate view? And, above all, shall we discredit everything we that extends beyond our comprehension? So far from secrecy being an objection to our order we claim it as a recommendation. It is the tie that binds us together in an indissoluble brotherhood, prompting us to deeds of virtue and benevolence. It comes and entwines itself around our fraternity, like a refreshing, yet invisible breeze, that at summer noon tide fans our forehead, invigorates the system with its coolness and gladdens our heart with its freshness and virgin purity. When one realizes the object of the order of Knights of Pythias is another great stimulus. Why a Pythian? Because its principles of humanity and religion; its object is to promote the general good of mankind and to spread abroad the light of morality and knowledge.

SEDALIA In making my rounds of the state in the interest of the Geo. R. Smii College, I came to Sedalia, the home of the school, during the last days of June. On the Sunday of June 30th to a fair congregation, the different relations and interests were presented by Prof. Hubbard. Rev. Mr. Davis, and Editor Houston to the people who responded liberally. And here as it ought have been, the largest collection thus far given to the College was taken. Sedalia as at other times did well by the Geo. R. Smith College. It was not to be expected that it would do less, when some of her most eminent citizens were presenting her needs. ention Knights of vant their Cuts, Write- SPECIA JULY 13 d their Copy or P SWEET SPRINGS For real genuine hospitality Sweet Springs has no superior.

Mr. Rhodes, Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie and the host of newly fledged Pythians. Sweet Springs is in Saline Co. The business portion of the town and large milling plant show us the richness of Missouri's Banner county. A. C. Maclin. FREDERICKTOWN Prof. J C Staten of Farmington came over on the 29th ult and installed the officers of Morning Star Lodge No. 18, K of P's. He did his task to the delight and joy fall. The sermonies were held publicly at the ME church. Following the installation services, a full line of refreshments was served. Mrs J W Patton is preparing to go to St Louis to witness the opening of Union Memorial church. --- College Transferred Information from Columbia is to the effect that the final arrangements are practically completed whereby the last two years of the work of the Missouri State Medical College will be transferred to St. Louis, present plans being successful the result will probably be the largest and best supported Medical College in Missouri. The assimilation of the Barnes Medical College and Hospital by the University, and the association of this plant with that at Columbia, make possible the giving of the last half of the Medical Course in St. Louis where the clinical facilities are greatest, and the first half in Columbia, where there are all the advantages of a great University in a small town. of Pythias of Miss te-ups and Advertisme AL ED 3 ND 18 Photo to US BY The new arrangement, decided upon Saturday morning, is the result of the acceptance by the Board of Curators of the generous offer of Dr. Pinckney French and his associates of Barnes Medical College and Centinary Hospital. Thus the University of Missouri acquires as a gift these institutions, estimated to be worth much more than $300,000. The new arrangement will not go into effect until September 1908. The laboratory years, Freshman and Sophmore will continue to be taught as heretofore in Columbia, no change at all being made in these years. nor will the maintenance of Parker Memorial Hospital in Columbia be affected. From being the weakest Department of the University the Medical College, as a result of this movement, is apparently to become in a short time the first College of Medicine west of the Mississippi River.

Speak approving, cheering words while their cats can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them; the kind things you mean to say when they re gone, say before they go. The flowers you mean to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and affection, which they intended to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours, and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered by them while I need them. I would rather have a plain coffin without flowers, a funeral without an eulogy, than a life without sweetness of love and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforehand for their burial. Pos, mortem kindness does not cheer the troubled spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over life's weary way. ```markdown ``` Let Politics be held in Abeyance at the St Louis Meeting July 10 @ 11 In traveling over over the state we hear much talk of the proposed meeting of representative Negroes to be held in St. Louis on July 10 and 11. It is feared by some that such a convocation may be turned into a political meeting that will endorse certain parties and certain men for certain positions and for certain honors. While we have no such fears, yet it will be expedient for the leaders to understand beforehand that such a narrow scope will not be tolerated. Conditions confronting the Negroes of Missouri are too all-important to be viewed in a more partisan or natrow manner. Our needs require friends who are tried and true. Common sense must by this time, have taught us to know that all our friends are not members of any one party within or without our state. Therefore, to fool with partisan issues in such a great convocation as that called by Bishop Grant to meet in St. Louis on July 10 and 11 will be imprudent and not in keeping with the spirit of the Jefferson City meeting. --- Moreover if it should drift into a political meeting, its personnel would be made up principally of politicians, who would be seeking jobs, pulls or other personal favors. Every grave proposition to be considered should be pondered over by unselfish and race loving men. This class of Negroes will not attend, if they know that eely tongued politicians are to be in charge. Coolness and poise must prevail, if we would secure what we desire. To have this in evidence our conservative men must be present and their suggestions followed. During the next 18 months an opportunity will be given the Negroes of this state to show their judgment. If he acts wisely, he may aid himself inmeasurably. But if he should allow common sense to be overcome by prejudice and the harangues of politicians, we fear that his sphere of influence will be greatly reduced. Is it too much to say that the Negro at home should be governed by the environments that affect him? No Negro knows better what to do for the St. Louis Negro than he himself. On the other hand the rural Negro, if he will only study his local conditions, will know what is best for his needs. The day of Negroes leaving home to tell others what they must do is over, since those living in touch with conditions know them best.

The Rising Sun, of Kansas City, in an issue of recent date had the following to say of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, of St. Louis: "Hon. A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Missouri, jurisdiction of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, has his residence in St. Louis, but is so well and favorably known over the state, that his home seems to be any place where he rests his grip and hangs up his hat. All welcome him and seem glad to have him with them. Chancellor Lloyd is the right man in the right place. He is doing good for the Knights of Pythias in this great state of Missouri what no other man has been able to do for any other secret organization in the west among Negroes." "He is untiring in his efforts and leaves such a clear clean record behind him, that he is not forced to lose any of his time locking back." "History is replete with examples of men like Chancellor Lloyd, whom Providence has called and nature fitted to fill important places at some crisis in the history of their race. No man familiar with the history and progress of the Knights of Pythias of Missouri, during the past 6 years can truthfully deny that Lloyd has been the "Moses" of his people in traternal work." It must be admitted, however, that Lloyd's phenomenzi success has been greatly augmented by the active support he has had from loyal friends, among whom the Conservator is a 'stand-patter.' Industria Education Endorsed. Modern educators are becoming more practical in their methods of instructing children. Abstract ideas are being displaced by a system of practi- tility. In the application and association of concrete things in our educational activities, a more feasible and use ful system has been established. As a consequence we find school authorities everywhere incorporating industrial training as a prominent feature in their curriculum of study. If plans mature we shall soon see such an addition made to Lincoln High School of this city. George R. Smith College is making herculean efforts to establish such a plant. Every progressive citizen should do all possible towards the furtherance of such enterprises, because the masses of any people are best adapted to the industrial trades. Our race is no exception. Criticisms of the Dr. Booker T. Washington idea and the thunderous harangues of the Mighty Ones can not remove the importance that Industrial Education carries with it. Sedalia is an excellent locality where a great trades' school for the Negroes of the West should be established and maintained. It is possible, if all of the Negroes who are interested, will join hands with their white friends who are deeply concerned about such an enterprise. Stand by a trades' school movement. ST.
