Harrison, St. Louis Official Reporter Gives in Full, the Account of Grand Session Held at Fayette Fayette, Mo., July 17, 1907. The Grand Lodge K. of P. began its 23rd annual session at Fayette Tuesday June 16th, and the Grand Court of Calanthe its 8th annual session, both bodies holding their meetings in Opera House building. The Grand Lodge opened its meeting at 12 noon with Grand Chancellor, A. W. Lloyd presiding and with about 150 delegates present. The opening session was devoted principally to organizing the grand lodge and appointing committees. Forty-two representatives received the grand lodge degree on the opening day. The opera house doors were thrown open to the general public Tuesday evening at which time the formal opening was declared and the following program carried out:— Call to Order. A. W. Lloyd, G. C., St. Louis. Opening Ode Grand Lodge Chorus. Prayer, Rev. J. T. Thornley. Vocal Solo, Laurenzo Leonard. Address of Welcome to City, W. J. DeBoe. Response, Rev. R. Cole St. Louis. Welcome, behalf, Fayette Lodge, Prof. E. Dameron. Response, Hon. Nelson Crews Kansas City Vocal Solo, Mrs. Rebecca Burris, Jeff City. Welcome, behalf of Citizens, Dr. H. E. Johnson Response. Prof. C. C. Hubbard, Sedalia Welcome to the Grand Court, Mrs. Wise Lees Mrs. Ruth Lange, Kansas City Greetings from our Sisters, Miss Ausonia M. Williams G.W.C Instrumental Solo, Blind Boone, Columbia. In the absence of Mayor Quinn Bev. DeBoe, pastor of the M. E. Church gave the address of welcome. The speaker in a few well chosen remarks assured the visitors they were quite welcome into the city of Fayette and the white as well as the colored citizens would give them cordial ment. The marshall of the city assured ample protection. (This because of a newspaper rumor to the effect that the whites objected to the meeting being held in Fayette). He was followed by Rev. R H Cole, pastor of the 1st Baptist church of St. Louis, who in his usual witty manner, entertained the audience with a beautiful response. The other numbers on the program for the evening were well rendered, but the response of Hon. Nelson Crews, the silver tongued orator from Kansas City should be given special mention. He was in splendid voice and gracefully told of his ancestral lineage in Howard county; how he loved the grand old county and was glad to be called one of her sons. He told the whites (a number of whom were present in the audience) that the in the civil war when their sons and husbands were sway fighting the battle of freedom, the Negroes who remained at home protected the wives, mothers and daughters and no such crimes were charged against them then as are now claimed. "Certainly," said the speaker, "you people of Fayette need have no fear of this grand organization, composed of doctors, lawyers, school teachers, preachers and kindred professions." Certainly you need not fear us to do anything in your midst to cause you to blush with shame. As evidence of the confidence we have in your citizens this grand lodge has entrusted for safe keeping while we are here $2.500 of its money in your banks. Hundreds of dollars will also be spent by our representatives among your merchants, but mark you, very little will go to the saloons, as we don't carry that class of men." At the conclusion of his remarks the speaker was the recipient of tumultuos applause. J. W. (Blind) Boone who was present his eleventh successive time, rendered one of his own compositions for the edification of the audience. Wednesday's session was largely devoted to reports of the grand officers. From that of the Grand Chancellor it was shown that there are now about 71 lodges and 5,385 members in the brotherhood throughout the state, and a beneficiary fund of $15,040.84. Total collections in seven years were $66,145,25. Other reports of officers" were quite as gratifying. Messages were received from the mayor of the city, the Supreme chancellor and other distinguished personages. The reading of the reports in the Grand Lodge officers consumed the greater part of Wednescay's proceedings. The grand chancellor's report, as usual, was a very able one and within its elf was a recommendation for his re-election. In this report was shown the pythian temple tax collected was $800 during the past year; the various lodges had $13,000 in their treasures and a balance of $1,434.37 in the grand lodge treasure. The secretary of the endowment in his report showed a balance $7,716.26 on hand after payment of all death claims. The grand lecturer, F. J. Brown of St, Louis, likewise made a very able report and in his recommendation suggested the established of a pythian savings bank. Memoral Day In accordance with the usual custom, both bodies held memorial services on Thursday. In behalf of the deceased brothers, Rev G. N. Jackson, deliwed the eulogy. He said in part:—"Brother Knights and sisters of the Court of Calantha, in the midst of life we are in dearth. We meet here at this time to be reminded of those of our number who have gone to report to Cod of their stewardship. Many of them mingled with us but today their voices are hushed in death and they are no more. We are reminded, as we assemble, that we too must die. There is much in this life to remind of our latter end. As we meet to-day we are reminded that 48 of one brothers have have fallen victim to death and to-day are no more. They have gone to report their steward ship. But, if indeed, they have made preparations, and have used those golden moments they are enjoying the presence of other good menbers. Let us not grieve for them, for in a few days many of us may have to soon answer the summons of death. Let us then prepare, so to say; welcome death I will gladly come and go with thee. Miss Jennie C. Irving, of St. Louis, delived the eulogy in behalf of the sisters. In her modest and refined way, she read a very pathetic paper. Blind Boone the services with one his remarkable piano performances. On Friday the band from Macon arrived and treated the representatives to a concert after which they proceeded to Leonard Height where a picnic was held. Rev. R. H. Cole and Hon. Nelson Crews delivered addresses at the grounds. Both the grand lodge and grand court closed their sessions Fridy evening after electing officers for the ensuing term.

Will Jackson, of Kansas City, Mo., who, in his prayer, prayed that that "nothing be said or done in the deliberation of this body, that might mar the feelings of a brother, or react narmfully upon the interest, to converse which we are solemnly called together."

Sensible proposition to place before Moreover the Foraker Doctrine Black men must secure their rights individual effort. Education and culture agree that these are acquired only. Therefore, it must not be presumed able and at the same time secure the offers to all. We do not believe to the Negro than he has for our consular institutions and our national the love we had for the Constitution against the President in the Brown al love for any race. His belief Negro as well as other peoples unite soldier boys a hearing. One phase of his doctrine all of "square deal" feature. Let us be which is Black men must rise by men will place the same stress are personal effort as they do upon him have absolute justice before the law for good in a short period. Foraker Doctrine. Political ideas are generally heavily discounted because is fully understood. Politicians even importance to the Foraker movement in that he was "playing" politics; others said the President; others declared that he was in when he undertook the task of securing armed soldiers of the 25 Infantry. And the lives in the mantles of selfish security, sentence that Foraker, Ohio's great Senator, has culture. As the state of the public mind six months ago, even evidences of a change. Politicians are now realize that there is something to this many places the significance of its influence dead of dying it is becoming a stout and heart american people. We realizing the elimination of Foraker from my task. Ohioans are beginning to take a new equation. Senator Foraker has gone line that will ring in their cars for all time. Later will be his following in the old Bancacy of the Foraker Doctrine? It is simply this, political support to any man, party, creed, permitted, tolerated or condoned an elimination. Wilberforce Address he told black men to all man, without it regard to creed, race or religion to them every political, economic and Federal Constitution. This was a practical proposition to place before his audience. The Foraker Doctrine carries with it that must secure their rights by many contentions. Education and culture will help to do these are acquired only by personal or man that must not be presumed by the Negro that the same time secure the gifts that the Foraker. We do not believe that Senator has a greater he has for our constitution, our traditions and our national aspirations. It had for the Constitution that impelled his President in the Brownsville affair rather than race. His belief that the Constitution well as other peoples under the flag led his boys a hearing. Case of his doctrine all of us have caught, all feature. Let us be as easy to approach Black man must rise by exerting yourself. Face the same stress upon his advice to us. Port as they do upon his declaration that justice before the law, we shall witness a short period. The Foraker Doctrine. New political ideas are generally heavily discounted until their real significance is fully understood. Politicians every attached very little importance to the Foraker movement in the Senate. Some alleged that he was "playing" politics; others said that he was "sore" at the President; others declared that he was in pursuit of an ignis fatus, when he undertook the task of securing a hearing for the discharged soldiers of the 25 Infantry. And the radicals, wrapping themselves in the mantles of selfish security, sent the message down the line that Foraker, Ohio's great Senator, has slaughtered his political future. Such was the state of the public mind six months ago. Today there are seen evidences of a change. Politicians and the public in general now realize that there is something to this Foraker nature. In many places the significance of its influence has been felt. Instead of dying it is becoming a stout and healthy question before the American people. They are realizing the elimination of Foraker from public life is not an easy task. Ohioans are beginning to take a hand in the solution of the equation. Senator Foraker has gone to the people with a doctrine that will ring in their ears for all time to come. As it rings greater will be his following in the old Buckeye State. What is the Foraker Doctrine? It is simply this, that no man should give political support to any man, party, creed or combination that permitted, tolerated or condoned an elimination of his right. In his Willforce Address he told black men to vote with and to stand by all men, without it regard to creed, race or party, who believed in giving to them every political, economic and legal right under our Federal Constitution. This was a practical as well as a sensible proposition to place before his audience. Moreover the Foraker Doctrine carries with it this principle—Black men must secure their rights by mainly contention and individual effort. Education and culture will help to do this. All will agree that these are acquired only by personal or individual effort. Therefore, it must not be presumed by the Negro that he can remain idle and at the same time secure the gifts that the Foraker Doctrine offers to all. We do not believe that Senator has a greater love for the Negro than he has for our constitution, our traditions, our national institutions and our national aspirations. It was we believe the love we had for the Constitution that impelled him to stand against the President in the Brownsville affair rather than any special love for any race. His belief that the Constitution reached the Negro as well as other peoples under the flag led him to seek for our soldier boys a hearing. One phase of his doctrine all of us have caught, namely:—the "squite deal" feature. It us be as easy to apprehend the other which is "Black man must rise by exerting yourselves." If black man will place the same stress upon his advice to us to contend by personal short as they do upon his declaration that block should have absolute justice before the law, we shall witness great change s for good in a short period.

Two were United States Senators. Twenty-two Representatives; three Registers of the Treasury; several were Lieutenant Governors of States. About forty have held diplomatic and comular positions; many have been officers in the army; six were Recorders of Deeds in the District of Columbia. A fine engraving of these Negro Congressmen has just been issued, giving accurate portraits of each; also the Congress in which they served and the years of service. In the picture, the two Senators, Messrs. Revels and Bruce, occupy the center of the group, surrounded by the other twenty Representatives. In the background, the Stars and Stripes in color. This beautiful engraving, with a booklet containing bl. ographics of these eminent men, is sold for one dollar ($1.00). This engraving is a graphic political history of the Negro in America.

Richard Ferguson and wife of city returned home Saturday, where she had been visiting her mother, who has been ill for some time. Continued from Page 1 forenoon of the first day was take up in the work of appointing committees, report from the committee on credentials and in permeant organization. The following committees were appointed:—On Public Address; on Grievance and on Constitution. The afternoon was taken up in committee work. The Central Baptist church was crowded to the utmost capacity on Wednesday night. The evening features were the addresses delivered by the following gentlemen: Rev. R. H. Cole of the Second Baptist church. Rev. Dr. Cook, of St. Paul A. M. E. church and Rev. Dr. Gillium, of Union Memorial M. E. church, all of St. Louis. Responses were made by Lawyer Huston, of Kansas City and Bishop Grant. The committee on Credentials, through its Secretary Hon. H. G. Phillips, Atty, at law, of Sedalia, reported 176 delegates present. These delegates represented twenty-five counties in the State. The second day was taken up in the reading and discussing reports of the various committee, the session being held in St. Pauls A. M.E. church. The report of the committee on Grievance referred to the unfair discrimination made between the white and black boys in the Boonville Reform school, the former being taught trades while in correction there, while no such attention is given the latter. The report simply ask that the same consideration be given the colored boys as is given the white boys. It also referred to the treatment of the incorrigible girls of our race in such places as Kansas City and St. Joseph. In these cities the incorrigible girl is sent to the work house or turned loose to the leadings of her evil propensities, while the white girl of the same unfortunate class, is sent to homes of detention, where she comes in contact with proper reformatory influences. The report referred to a recent act of Missouri legislature, in appropriating money for the erection of a house of detention at Chilicothe. It appears that the building was erected, but it has never been used as such a house. The report asks that provisions be made for the case of these girls of our race. A committee of five, of which Dr. Caston, of Jefferson City, is the chairman, was appointed to visit the Governor and lay before him these grievances and ask for their redress. The committee on constitution recommendee as the name of the organization, which after considerable discussion, was accepted. The Executive committee of this body is composed of representatives of all Congressional District of the State. The committee on Public Address, made it report at night. The chairman requested that it be adopted at fully expressing the sense of that body, by a rising vote of the entire audience, standing for a moment with bowed heads. The meeting adjourned to hold its next session in Kansas City, Sedalia loosing by 2 votes only. Partisan politics were studiously eliminated in the discussions. The entire body, apparently as one man, was imbued with buff one thought and purpose, viz., the condition of our race as regards peace exercises of constitutional rights and hospetly seek a remedy against injustice and humiliating discrimination which, if calmly premitted to continue ultimately thwart the efforts of church and school to make of Negro, a usetul and honorable citizen.

Old-Time Lion proves No match for the Sturdy Colored Fighter and lasts less Than Two Rounds Philidelphia, Pa., July 17—In the the middle of the second round big Jack Johnson, the colored heavy-weight fighter, who, for years has been trying to gain recognition and a fight with some reptable ring man, sent down to dream land the good old Fitzsimmons, the aged scrapper, who at one time was recognized as the greatest ever in the world of pugilism. A big crowd gathered at the Washington Sporting Club's quarters to see old Fritz put through his paces. It had been announced that the one-time lion of the ring was as good as ever, that he was in pink of condition and that his punch was as lusty as of old. Even the public beguil ed into paying good prices to see the contest, worked it self up to the belief that the freckle one might last long enough to make a good showing against the colored fighter. But Johnson was strong as a bull and Fitz as weak as water. The colored man, with a fight against Burns for a future, provided he beat Fitz easily, waded into Fitz and had him in distress from the start. In the second round he staggers him with body blows then mercifully put over a finishing touch in shape of a knockout to the jaw. Fitz did not show any trace of Continued on Page 4 Sedalia Undertaking Company, W. E. STALEY, MGR., ...Chapel in Connection..... -:15 PHONES 115- 120 South Ohio Street, Sedalia, Mo.

The old maa fell to the floor, and as he made no attempt to rise the referee stopped the bout. The hissing that usually follows knockouts of this character was absent, the spectators evidently taking compassion on the former pugilistic star. Referee Keenan refused to act in the ring, because he had heard that Fitz had a badly sprained arm. The manager of the club then entered the ring and watch the uneven match.

RE Tueneroan pew KNows, “Pe be * that the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Afriea,fand Australia is hereby called to meet in its four- teenth bi-ennial session in the City of Louisville, Ky., at Ten o'clock.

Instructions regarding same will be issued later, ‘Companies an‘ Lodges are urged to run special excursions as cheaper rates can be secured in that way. The approaching hi-ennial session of our Supreme Lodge promises to excel in every way all gatherings of colored people ever held in America, The advancement, progress and accomplishments of our Order along fraternal and business lines have become the marvel of the age. In our short life, we have reached the position of leadership in all that is progressive and uplifting in frater- nal organizations, as heretofore, the meeting of the Order at Louisville will be a gathering of the brainy, practical men of our race from all parts of the World, whose purpose will be to pass such legislation as will further advance the Order and make it a greater power,in the work in which it has become such a potent factor— that of uplifting ourselves. ¥ The Supreme Court of Calanthe will hold its session at the same time and it will be the greatest session ever held by that splendid auxiliary body. The growth and advancement of this department has also been phenomenal, ‘and the coming together of our representative women at this session will be of great importance to our Order and race work, The indications are, that the Fourth National En- campment of our Pythian Army, the Uniform Rank, will more than double in numbers the one held at Pittsburg two years ago. The encampments held hy the, Uniform Rank of our Order demonstrates as nothing, c'se can our sbaltty, fa organize and contro) great bodies of men among oursebves. It has been the constant aim of the officers of this depart- ment to make each Encampment eurpass the last. In this they have succeeded. Their aims for this year are higher than ever before and they warrant that the brilliancy and splendor to be displayed by the thourands of Pythians who will be mobilized at Louisville in September, will be worth coming thousands of miles to see. ‘ Every Pythian who desires to witness the progress which has been made by: the Order should attend this session of the Supreme Lodge.
