To speak the truth when, by a little prevarication, you can get some great advantage. To live according to your convictions. To be what you are and not pretend to be what you are not. To live honest within your means, and not dishonestly upon the means of others. When mortified and embarrassed by humiliating disaster, to seek in the wreck or ruin the elements of future conquest. To throw up a position with a good salary when it is the only business you know and you have a family depending upon you, because it does not have your unqualified approval. To refuse to knuckle and bend the knee to the wealthy, even though poor. To refuse to make a living in a questionable vocation. To refuse to do a thing which you think is wrong, because it is customary and done in trade. To be talked about and yet remain silent when a word would justify you in the eyes of others, THE MUSEUM LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL, The Central Missouri Institute for Colored Teachers will convene in this building on June the 15th for a 'Two Weeks' Sdssiou. Prof. C. C. Hubbard, the Conductor, has arranged to give the Regular June Examination at the close of this session. Come. Bring your friends. but which you cannot speak with out injury to another. To face slander and lies, and to carry yourself with cheerfulnees, grace, and dignity for years, before the lie can be corrected. To stand firmly erect while others are bowing and fawning for praise and power. To remain in honest poverty while others grow rich by questionable methods. To say "No" squarely when those around you say "Yes." To do your duty in silence, obscurity, and poverty, while others about you prosper through neglecting or violating sacred obligations. Not to bend the knee to popular prejudice. —Success Magazine The Passing Of Good Manners. With all our boasted progress in education, it is sadly to be regretted that we see no longer the old-fashion courtesy and gentle bearing of our grandmother's days. True, there are a few exclusive, refined people who cling to the traditions of the past and to whom the things that were once good form will always remain so; but the masses are losing their manners and unless more attention is given the subject at home and in school the future outlook, indeed discouraging. We make the excuse that we have no longer time to be polite in our mad struggle for wealth and even many times for a bear existence. Yet there are countless small courtesies and marks of good breeding which take but a moment and cost so little, once the habit has been formed. We are living in a selfish age and a very thoughtless one, and since good manners are directly opposed to both, it is not difficult to account for their decline. We need to impress upon the minds of our restless, ambitious young people that good breeding, which is natural expression of a Christian heart and a cultured mind, counts for more than wealth or vulgar applause. Let society again draw the line as it once did against the aggressive, loud-talking, gum-chewing woman and the man who thinks it is clever to be ungentlemanly; let what the man is and not what he has be made the test for his fitness to enter the charmed circle of the truly refined, and we will have a reform in manners that nothing else can bring about. —Advance. Magnified Assumption. (By Permission.) I have always read that The earth was the Lord's And they that dwell therein. But here iately I heard The white man said this world Belongs to him For David has said, the Earth is the Lord's, And they that dwell therein, But here comes along The white man and says, The world belongs to him. How can this be, when God has said, all people And nations are kin? Of one flesh and one blood All mankind are made. And there is no respect of Persons with him. The Twenty-fourth Psalm says: The earth is the Lord's And the fullness thereof; And they that dwell therein. And yet I near the white man Say the world belongs to him. Somebody's wrong. Who can it be? For God said his word is true, Then please, please, Mr. White man Will you tell me when God gave this world to you? God told Noah to build the ark, And he and his wife went in, With Shem, Japheth and Ham And their wives; and God's word says The Lord shut them in. And after the flood They all left the ark And each for a living began And away down here I hear the white man say. The world belongs to him. When he came here The world was here. And when he goes; O, well, I hope he won't leave any will In court requesting Gabriel, This world to sell. No. 2 Sedalia, MISSOURI. And if this world does, To the white man, belong, I am not going to cry. For he won't take one bit away When he lays down to die! For Michael, the fighting angel, Is in heaven yet, Michael whipped the devil, The father of sin! The devil got so high In the kingdom of God He thought Heaven belonged to Our Memorial Day Services- Memorial Day services, were held here Saturday, for the first time in a few years. A line of march was formed at the corner of Lamine and Pettus Streets, headed by the Queen City Concert Band, followed by the Elks on foot, Old Soldiers and the Sons and Daughters of Charity in vehicles. In carriages were the speakers of the day, Prof. H. L. Billups, Prof. C. C. Hubbard, Rev. Perry Thurmau and Rev. Alexander Hubbard. At the cemetery the line of march halted at a platform erected for the speakers, while the band played a dirge. The Elks held a memorial over one of their deceased brothers singing by the quartette, "There is rest for the weary," "Nearer my Cod to Thce." Invocation by the Rev. Richard Davis, prof. H. L. Billups acted as master of ceremonies in the absence of Rev. Rush. The opening address was made by Prof. C. C. Hubbard, which was rich in thought, pathetic and stirring. "Our old soldiers and what we owe them" was the theme on which Dr. C. S. Walden spoke, making a good talk. The band played "Nearer my God to Thee," after which Rev. T. L. Scott did justice to his subject "Memorial Day." "Morning sun" was a selection sang by the Medley Club. Daniel B. Jones spoke on the subject "Our duty, as a people, to this day." A sacred selection by the band, and Rev Perry Thurman followed with the closing remarks and pronounced the benediction. The band lead the march back to the city where the participants returned to their respective homes No little credit is due to the promoters of Saturday's demonstrations. ney PER eae S REY AMT ON NT Co OE EEE MN en " rE % " Byer e se ee ee OR ae ee res —— peer ro I aaah fd cal ’ f . y i NITE MRSC ERT AIS gS UCR ARMS.

Smith College Submits Ten papiaiond, it seems strange to us that white men should continuously tell us that some irresponsible citizen has declared that for certain paltry sums the black vote can be turned. = Do you think that black men have neither honor nor brains? If we vote as, Mr Jones desires, of course Mr Bobs will “holler” sold ont. The truth is that we have decided to look, study confer, and then vote as we think best. If the responsibility ison us, kindly give our brains room for action and we will show all men that some black men have sense. : Sedalia Weekly Conservator W. H. HUSTON, EDITOR & PUBLISHER. ee G.

Entered at the Sedalia Post Office as Second class matter, To tHe SEDALIA ConsERVATOR: Mr. Editor and Friends:—In a recent issue the Conservator of- fered the use of its columas to ei ther side of the Local Option ques tion which all recognize as fair; more recently the editor has sta- ted his personal attitude which is also square and honest. May I now be permitted to pre- sent some views from the “dry” side? The liquor traffic is everywhere recognized ag an evil in itself. No state in the Union treats itan a legitmate business, as other forms of commercial enterprize. It is legalized and tolerated by special enactment, with special restric- tions, and the highest courts of the land have decided that it has no inherent rights of existence, In the present election it is to be decided whether that which is in- herently evil is to be protected andcontiaued under special laws aud the vote of the people. We believe the liquor traffic should not be licensed and thet we should vote against the saloon for the following reasons, 1st Our religion is against it. The Word of God declares a woe on the sale ef strong drink; The ‘principles and teachings of Christ jianity are against it; All denomi- naticns of Christians condemn the open saloon; the Methodist Church in particular has declared against it; Almost every minister of the Gospel and active Christ- lian worker is on the dry side. We do not think any intelligent Christian man praverfully seekiag to know God's willand haviag the spint of Christ can vote for the | saloon. | 2a: The saloon is a promoter of crime, By the'testimoay of jud. ges and officials in ever part of lour land trom 70 to 95 per cent of laut crimes committed are caused by intoxicants, To license such a business and to vote for it is te become an abettor and partner in | crime. 3rd, Not only crime, but the large per cect of insanity and poy- erty arecaused bythesaloon, Te destroy the saloo1 is not only tc empty the jails but the asvlums and poor houses as well, Tue ex: AOS A AAA AA A Al AAA A AAA RE Stand By Race Enterprises. ; ee : PEEEIREL 1! when'you wish to help your race, 9 ASAREH® You would{spendzatnickel or a°dime, 4 «HEPA For littlo thingslyou know they sell,“ T=v2" °°" 72 “| BREWER (Although thisfverse is poor in rhyme) “? «EIT!

Most of the argument fresented by the Anti-Saloon is either burlesque or abstract generalities. Every eifort is being used to divert the citizen's attention from the concrete or business element that is so important ‘n the administration cf municipal affairs. ‘To succes fully carry out their scheme. the leaders and orators of the Anti-Sa- Joon League, have emphasized certain phases of their argument to a marked degree of ridiculousness. A few of these phases, we shal: be pleased to demonstrate as Local Option Phantasies, Church members, who have the timerity to think difierentiy from them on the licenre proposition are threatened with excommu- nication ard anathematized beyond limit, Freedom of conscience accordiug to their argument, is lawful only’when an individual thinks as they think. Modern rctigious culture does not contorm with such a system of bigotry. Apother delusive proposition is that al] crime originates as a result of the manufactureand sale of intoxicat- ing liquor. To destroy the liquor traffic will ‘obliterate crime put the conrts out of business and usher in a tangible realism that Utopi- an period of human happiness. There are states, counties, citics and townships where the liquor trafiic has gone out of business, still crime exists, courts are at work and Utopia is still a fanciful dream ‘To destroy jhe saloon orall manner of business will not, can not change ail of our human propensities. | So long as we are human we may look for crime, The latest scheme that has been launched 1s the *‘old chestaut"” that everything depends on the 600 Black votes, Sedalia will be lost or blest by the swing of the 606 Black voting citizens. Ie strikes us as a rather queer proposition in that it places the burden of saving the city in cur hands and then ties our hands so [that they may not be used, If the 600 Black men are to save the city, why not place the runring of :he campaign into the hands of some of their leaders, Responsibility and leadership should go hand in hand, The most optimistic Black man among us has never claimed that black men—man for man, on average, are better than white men—- man for man, based on an average, Some black men are as good $s some of the best white men. And, some bladk men areas bad as some of the worse white men, After all, a good man isa man whether he be white or black, Celor is not the standard of mea>- urement of manhood, ‘The standard is character, If the Anti-Saloon League requires five-sixths of the Negro vote before it is willing to give black mena badge ‘of good citizenship, why not make the same requirement of white men? Further if fiye out of every six white voters are to vote dry, why put the burden on black men? Weare willing to stand our share of responsibility in the controversy, The otter fellow must bear his part. For nearly 300 years our ancestors bore the burdens of America withou! a murmur, Their sons have seen and telt the light. Moreove' We are authorized to announce the nameofGeorge W.

The saloon is especially the enemy of the laboring man and of the poor robbing the home, clothing the family in rage, leave ing only misery and shame, Every one of these points can be fully substantiated, and many more. On the side of the saloon isevery wrong and not a single good. I appeal to my friends, as christians, as patriots, as lovers of their race, as lovers of home and wife and child, as sensible busi- ness men, yote against the sa. loonin Sedalia and stop this de. luge of crime and vice and drunk: edness and waste that is ruining our city our boys and our girls, Very Respectfully.

Curbstone philosophy is a valueless Commodity. Since we have been forced into a Local Option election Campaign let us all be men enough to face the issues involved without a resort to personalities.

The guest were Jonas Alexander, of Warsaw, Mrs. Neppy Thomas, a cousin, Miss Hattie Berry, both of Warrensburg and Mrs. Bessie Woods of Kansas City. Surely those citizens that know so much of the price of votes, have been in the vote buying business, since they are so wise. To know material things so thoroly, one must have experimental cognizance, which is acquired by personal contact alope. Prof. C. C. Hubbard and his corps of teachers have been very busy all of the past week. During the week the school work continued and in the afternoons the primary rooms gave joint programs, which were well attended and nicely rendered, and the patrons of Lincoln School were well pleased with the last years' work which speaks well for Prof; C.

LINCOLN SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT The Seventeenth Annual Commencement of the Lincoln High School was held Friday night May 29, at the Sedalia theatre. The Commencement exercises of the class of '08, twelve in number, were held in the presence of a large and appreciative audience. The class and the chorus arranged upon the stage the young ladies attired in white was a pleasing spectacle, and showed good taste on the part of the teachers. Mrs. Harvey MacGugin was the director of the choruses, while Mrs. Mattie L. Teeters was the accompanist. Following the invocation, "Great and Marvelous" was sung by the chorus. The opening Oration was by Miss Mary Jackman, salutatorian, her subject being "Man and the Opportunity." Scholarly did she handle her subject, reflecting no little credit up on herself. An excellent Oration "More Beyond" by Miss Luella Tarleton was the second number, the speak er handling her subject exceeding ly well. The third number being a well prepared Oration, "Self Reliance" by Miss Vennie Burris, which was nicely delivered. After the selection, "Fairy Land Waltz," by the chorus, Miss Hortense Smith did justice to her subject "Do Circumstances Make Great Men." Following was the Class Poem, a eulogy to Lincoln High School bp Harrison Dinsmore. "What After Failure," was the subject of an Oration, prepared by Miss Malinda Bossy who acquitted herself in a manner to bring forth Comment. "March to our Flag" was rendered by the chorus, after which Miss Lucile Millerdelivered her Oration "Victory Through Deleat," which was interesting. Joseph Dinsmore spoke on "Industrial Education," his speaking winning the many Compliments. Miss Florence Burris's Oration was the next number, her subject being, "The Road of Bye and Bye Leads to the Town of Never," was handled in a surprising manner, reflecting credit on both herself and teacher. After a selection, "The Old Folks at Home," Miss Geneva Phillips spoke her Oration, "Integrity." The Oration was well 3 WOOD'S OPERA HOUSE BE SURE TO ATTEND! delivered and was one of the best of the night. Wm. Flynn handled his subject 'The Negro in America,' exceedingly well, and held his reputation won during his two years in High School. The concluding Oration was delivded by Miss Ona B. Ruby valedictorian of the Class, her theme being "Ambition," which was handled in a manner that brought favorable Comment from all. Another selection' "A Warrior Bold" by the chotus. Prof. C. C. Hubbard introduced Prof. Buchanan, who made a few remarks to the class and parents, and he presented the diplomas. Dr. Cole and Hon. Mr. Johnson, representatives from Pettis county made the closing remarks. Rev. Alexanber Hubbard pro the benediction and the '08 commencement exercises were closed This was the largest class in 15 years that finished Lincoln.

The Jew is for the Jew, the German for the German, and so on. Every race contending fighting dying for its fellows. No race makes so much fuss over heaven as the Negro, and no race catches quite as much sheal. The Negro loves Christ, a mysterious future, deals in large churches of that kind of stock and hates his brother. He'll work, make money, make a fuss, spend it with the white man whom he knows hates his race worse than the devil hates holy water, and sometimes makes light remarks about Negroes in business. If there ever were men sacred to the cause of our poor, ofttimes foolish acting race, they are the ones who have gone into business risking their money on the respect and confi- dence they have in one another. The negro who works and makes money, if he will persistently spend it recklessly, he ought to pick out some colored business man's place and spend, then the race is not losing it in so great a degree.

Oftner such mistakes are made in high places. There will always be things that seem right to some of the people. who appear dreadfully wrong to others who see things from a different viewpoint. I do not think we are progressing too fast, our race trouble at the present time is this: We are discarding the common sense with which our parents though ignorant, groped from darkness into light and trying to lean too much, I fear upon the flimsy network of theory which we are not sober enough intellectually at the present time to weave M.

The Negro in every walk of life is to be sustained; he has the same God given right as long as he conducts himself soberly to succeed as all others, and his race ought to remember that although sometimes a few of them get rich they always marry within the race and thus the wealth is left in the race's hands. Sober sense conducts us through the labyrinth we tread, and if the staying qualities are in the individual a righteous time seems to offer its halo. Let us be charitable' but let us --- --- ing their fellows. into practical fabric. at all times be mindful of good practical lessons by which others have prospered. The Negro is as good as others, only when he proves it, and he has to prove it by strong witnesses, and by more of them than any other race Chicago Conservator Lost Everything But Cheerfulness. No matter what else you may accomplish in life, or however rich you may become, if you do not keep sweet, if you allow your self to sour, to become a pessimist, your life will be unproductive, and you will be a comparative failure.

Everywhere we see pessimistic, dolesful people going through the world—people who have ruined their capacity for enjoyment because they allowed their losses their sorrows, their fears, their failures, to take all the sweetness out of their lives. It does not matter so very much, after all, whether you make a fortune or not; but it does matter very much whether or not you keep sweet, have a clean record, and live a balanced life.

I know a man whose life has been filled with disappointments and failures, losses and sorrows un speakable, yet he is one of the sweetest, serenest, most helpful souls I have ever met. His troubles and sorrows seem to have ripened and beautified his character. His sufferings have been the fire which has burned out all the dross and left only the pure gold. He is now an old man, with practically nothing of this world's goods left; but he has a monument of love and admiration in the hearts of all who know him. He has never parted with that cheerful smile, nor that sweet-tempered, serene expression which bids defiance to trouble. He has never lost his beautiful mental poise, which has steadied him through all his years of suffering and losses. After a long life of hard work and desperate struggle, he has no home of his own. His family are all gone, his prosperity gone, but he never has a complaint or a tale of voe. On the contrary, he always has a kindly word and smile, and a warm, sympathetic handgrasp for every one he knows. He seldom refers to his troubles, and always sees the silver lining to every cloud. No bitterness ranks in his soul, for he learned the secret of the salient power of love and sympathy. He early resolved that, whatever came to him in life, he would not allow himself to get sour, despondent, or discouraged. What a rebuke is this man's optimistic view of life to those who are always finding fault and complaining of their lot! He has lost all his property; he cannot get a permanent position on account of his age, and if he were taken sick would likely be obliged to go to the poorhouse, yet he is going around cheering everybody up, encouraging people who are infinitely better off than he is. Life is too short, time too precious, to go about with a vinegary countenance peddling pessimism and discontent. People who do this are not producers. They are not creators of values. Pessimism is always a destroyer, a handicap; never a creator. Every day you go over a new road. Scatter your encouragement, your good cheer, your smiles, your flowers as you go along. You will never go over the same road again. You cannot afford to leave stumbling blocks and discouragements to hinder others' progress. —June Success.
