Sedalia Weekly Conservator. The Black Man's Silent Power IMPARTIAL DISCUSSION OF THE RACE PROBLEM BY RAY STANNARD BAKER IN THE JULY NUMBER OF THE AMERICAN MAGAZINE. VOL VI Some Southern White NEGRO'S PROGRESS IN RICHMOND What a curious thing oratory is! Right in Governor Swanson's own city of Richmond there are four banks owned and operated by Negroes; one of the Negro bankors sat in the convention to which Governor Swanson was at that moment speaking. There is a Negro insurance company, "The True Reformers," in which I saw eighty Negro clerks and stenographers at work. It has a surplus of $300,000, with a business in thirty states. Negro also own and operate in Richmond four clothing stores, five stores, many grocery stores (some very small, of course), two hotels, four livery stables, five printing establishment, eight fraternal insurance companies, seven meat markets, fifty eating-places, and many others sorts of business enterprises, small of course, but growing rapidly. In Richmond also, there are ten Negro lawyers, fifteen physicians, three denists, two photographers eighty-five school teachers, forty six Negro churches. SOUTHERNERS WHO SEE THE DANGER When I a make the assertion regarding "free speech" and the fear of truth in the South, I am making no statement which has not been far more forcibly put by thoughtful and fearless Southerners who see and this sinister tendency. The late Chancellor Hill, of the University of Georgia, spoke of the "deadly paralysis of intellect caused by the enforced uniformity of thought within the lines of one party." He said: "Before the war the South was in opposition to the rest of civilization on the question of slavery. It defended itself: its thinking, its political science' even its religion was not directed toward a search for truth, but it was concentrated on the defense of a civil and political order of things. These conditions made impossible a vigorous intellectual life." William Preston Few, dean of of Trinity College, North Carolina, writes 'South Atlantic Quarterly January, 1905': "This prevalent lack of firsthand thinking and of courage to speak out has brought about an unfortunate scarcity of plain intellectual honesty." An excellent illustration of this condition grew out of the statement of Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, president of the University of Virginia, at a dinner a year or so ago, in which he compared the recent political leader of the South somewhat unfavorably with the statesmanship of the Old South. Upon hearing of this Senator Bailey of Texas angrily resigned from the alumni committee of the the University. Chancellor Hill said, concerning the incident: The question whether Dr. Alderman was right or wrong becomes insignificant beside the larger question, whether Senator Bailey was right or wrong in his method of dealing with a difference of opinion. And this leads to the question: Have we freedom of opinion in the South? Must every man who thinks above a whisper do so at the peril of his reputation and his influence, or at the deadlier risk of having an injury inflicted upon the institution which he represents?" In giving so much space to the words and position of Vardaman, Tillman, Hoke Smith, and others, I have not yet sufficiently empha the work and influence of the toughful and constrictive men of the South. But it must be borne in mind that I am writing of politics, of majorities: and politicians of the Tillman type are still the political forces in the South. They are in control; they are elected. Yet there is the growing class of new statesmen whose work I shall recount next month. WHITES DISFRANCEISED AS WELL AS BLACKS But the limitation of intellectual freedom has not been the only result of the political dominance of the Negro issue. It is curious to observe that when one class of men in any society is forced downward politically, an other is forced up: for so mankind keeps its balance and averages. A significant phase of the movement in the South to eliminate the Negro is the sure return to government by a white aristocracy. For disfranchisement of the Negro has also served to disfranchise a very large proportion of the white as well, in every Southern state where Negro disfranchisement has been forced, the white vote also has steadily dwindling. To-day in Alabama not all the white males of voting age are qualified voters. In Mississippi the proportion is still lower. In the last presidential election Parker carried the state of Mississippi with a total vote of only 58,383, out of a total of 349,177 citizens (both white and colored) of voting age. It has been found indeed, in several counties in Mississippi, that while the number of white eligibles has been decreasing. the number of Negroes on the registration lists has been increasing. In the city of Jackson, Mississippi, last year, 1,200 voters were registered out of a population of 32,000 people. To show the dwindling process take the single county of Tallapoosa in Alabama. The last consus shows 4,203 whites and 2,056 blacks of voting age, 6,259 in all. After the adoption of the new constitution disfranchising the Negro in 1901, the total registration was 4,008. Last fall, although the important question of prohibition had arisen and an especial effort was made to get voters out, an investigation showed there were only 1,700 qualified voters in the county. This astonishing condition is due primarily to the fact there is no vital party division on new issues in the South; but it is also due to the franchise teats, which having been made severe to keep the Negro out, operate also to SEDALIA, MO., MONDAY, JULY 6, 1908. disfranchise hundreds of thousands of poor and ignorant white men. I spent much time talking with white workingmen, both in the cities and in the country. I asked them why so many working men farmers did not vote. Here is one comprehensive reply of a labor leader: "What's the use? We have to pay two dollars a year poil-tax, and pay it nearly a year before election. And why vote? There are no real insues at stake. An election is merely a personal quarrel in the clique of men who control the Democratic party. Why should we pay two dollars a year and go to the bother of sat isfying the personal ambition of some man we are not interested in?" Negro Pythians Louisiana Negro Pythians Lay Corner Stone For A Magnificent $200,000 Seven Story Office Building. Negro Pythians from all parts of the state and nearly 2,000 Negro residents of New Orleans took part in the ceremonies which mark the dedication of the new Negro Pythian Temple at Grevier and Saratoga streets yesterday at noon. The gathering was remarkable in many respects, and commemorated an undertaking the result of which is declared to reflect great credit upon the law-a-bidding Negro elements of Louisiana. In setting the corner-stone of the handsome building that redresents an investment of $200,000, the Negro Pythians have out stripped their brothers of every other state in the South, and the city of New Orleans will boast first Negro Pythian Temple of any size to be found anywhere in the south. Necessarily the ceremonies attendant upon the laying of the corner-stone proved of greatest concern to the Negroes of New Orleans, and they were out in force to participate in the exercises. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green officiated as master of ceremonies. The invocation by Rev. John Marks opened the program. Other who took part were: Dr. A. J. Lopez, F. C. Antoine, the first Negro Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias in Louisiana; J. Madison Vance, a well-known Negro lawyer of New Orleans; S. Francisco, first Grand Keeper of Records and Seal in this State; Frank B. Smith, an attorney; Rev. C. W. Reeves, W. J. Struther, Supreme Vice Chancellor of Mississippi; John W. Cooke, of Lake Providence; John D. Brown of Gray, La., Grand Keeper of Records ond seal, and Attorney H. H. Ford, of Houma, La. The building of the Negro Pythians will be seven stories on height, and will contain, besides accommodations for a Negro bank, a large auditorium, lodge rooms and office for Negro lawyers, physicians and business men. Diboll, Owen & Goldstein are the architects of the structure. The new building, it is stated, will be something of a monument to the thrift, integrity and business ability of the Negro citizens under whose directon the big work is being done.—New Orleans Times-Demonrat. Richard Williams our popular barber shop partner was a shining star in Boonville last Sunday The Second Annual Re-Union. CIVIL WAR VETERANS WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME AT PERTLE SPRINCS, NEAR WARRENSBURG, MISSOURI, DURING THE EARLY FALL. Rev. James W. Jackson, olonel, of Clinton, Missouri, Gives An Explanatory Outline of The Movement. COMRADES:—Some of the leading Negro Soldiers of the Civil War, of the State of Missouri, met at Joplin Missouri, March 22, 1907, and organized the Annual Reunion of the Negro soldiers of the Civil War of the state of Missouri. In taking this forward step in the scale of civilization and industry, the founders of that organization have accomplished a task to which they can paint with just pride. The first annual reunion was held at the Pertle Springs, near Warrensburg Missouri, in October 1907. It proved to be a most fortunate move both for the old soldiers and the citizens. It would be impossible to convey to many minds or easily describe the happy effect which this first annual reunion threw once a heart which otherwise might have been sad, cold, and selfish. Indeed, it did arouse both the old soldier and the citizen to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. The officers and the executive committee elected at the first annual reunion will appear on the Circular Letters, together with the facilities of transportation and accommodations. The second Annual Reunion will meet at Pertal Springs near Warrensburg Missouri, in the fall of 1908, the date of which will appear on the on the program. COMRADES:--The men of each generation, in such a family as the Negro soldiers of the Civil War, have some great Mission. Ours is to transmit the experiences and the observations in the instructions in the discipline, in the drill, on the dress parade, around the camp-fire, on the march and on the battle-field of glory, to the present generations, thru the medium of the annual reunion. Only those acquainted with these can appreciate the full meaning of the annual reunion. For these are not written in the histories of the Civil War, was in any other hooks; but they are written only in the heart, soul, and mind of the old soldiers hence the necessity of perpetuating the annual reunion on the part of the old soldiers, and hence, the necessity of attending the annual reunion on this part of present generations. The annual reunion is a patent factor in swelling the number of agencies at work in bringing about a chosen sympathy and cooperation between the Veteran and the Citizen. Its effect upon the general struggle of civilization and industry, lies in this encouragement and moral weight that it gives to the Negro race in various occupations of life. For example, during the first annual reunion as stated above, quite a number of prominent Negro citizens of Johnson County were in attendance, and they were so favorably impress with the annual reunion, that they concluded to return home and organize a permanent Annual Fair Association exhibit the products of Johnson County. They ask veterans permission to hold their first annual fair in connection with the Second Annual Reunions, which was granted. The animals the products, and the various enterprises of Negro Labor and the second annual reunion, give a still further encouragement and moral height to the Negro racers. The word reunion thrills the old vetearns nerves like an electric shock. The events of the Civil War came back to him with an extraordinary vividness of expression. The annual reunion is in itself, an appeal to an old time honored alliance between comrades, sanctified by common sufferings and endeared by mutual associations shared in the duties and incidenets of Military life. The annual reunion is most firmly embedded in the old veteran's memory. Indeed, it has always for him a significance quite independent of its obvious import. It symbolizes the duties, obligations the accidents, the experiences, the observations, and the tender memories of which all his Military life has taught him. The annual reunion of the Negro soldiers of the Civil War of the state of Missouri, is truly an annual reunion, an annual reunion where people of all creeds and opinions can meet together, and are actually treated alike. The spirit of the Republic reigns in this annual reunion rather Racial Distinction or Social Status. There is neither Black, Yellow, White, Red, nor Brown, but all are American citizens, and all are welcome. Among those who have help to preserve the Union, few have stamped themselves the more clearly upon the nation's memory than the Negso soldiers of the Civil War. He ever remains a singular vivid image before the nations' eyes. Indeed, the obligation under which the Negro soldier of the Civil War has laid the Negro race and the debt all the nation owes to one who has help to preserve the Union, should insire the Negro race, and the nation, with a liberal enthusiasm for the annual reunion, and a zeal for perpetuating the experiences, the observations and the tender memories of the old soldiers Military life. The annual reunion of the Negro veteran of Civil War, with its national character, its national reputation, its national honors, its national rights and its national privileges, is of sufficient weight to have the right influence in the formation of the Negro's life. It furnishes great opportunities to the Negro race. The Negro race robs itself of those opportunities when it neglects to attend the annual reunion. The negro veteran of the Civil War may be assured that nowhere could his time, talent and attention find a better object for their employment, than the annual reunion. He needs no other incentive to perpetuate the annual reunion than the prospect before him of furthering the happiness and welfare of the Negro race. Comrades, let us rally to the annual reunion with an enthusiasm equal to its impotence, annual reunion in reality and not merely in name, an annual No. 6 reunion that never takes a step backward in the scale of civilization and industry. Done by order of the Rev. RICHARD RUSH, Commander in Chief of the Negro Soldiers of the Civil War of the State of Missouri. THE STORY OF "1." I am a politician and A man of wonderous knowledge Although I never want to school And never saw a college; My jaw is strong, my lungs are good And I can loudly bellow, In fact, I am the only I, And a successful fellow. I tell the people what I done But nener how I done it; I am the boss of a machine And I know how to run it. I brought the water to this town And also built the sewers; I stand in with the jollics And also with the brewers. I am the man who built this town, I made it rich and famous; If any man should doubt my word He is an ignoramus, I paved the streets, I made the walls I also built the houses, And when I see these things I done Ambition it arouses. I want to be a congressman For I am good at talking, Although my enemies have said My talking is but squaking; Next to the Senate, I will go And from that elevation I'll take the presidential chair And boss the entire nation.—Ex. Prof. J. P. Cass Promoted. Prof. J. P. Gass, who was recently chosen by the Sedalia Board of education to take the superintendency in the place of Prof. G. V. Buchanan, has begun work in his usual pains taking way. As a thorough scholar and experienced disciplinarian, he has no peer. His selection is very gratifying to the Negroes of this city, since he believes in efficiency and good living salaries. Lincoln school will be given consideration merited. In an address before the Institute just closed. Prof. Gass made a lasting impression upon all of his auditors. Liberal minded broadhearted and generous spirited citizens will find in Prof. Gass a true friend and stanch promoter of our educational interests. Local Politics. ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR REPRESENTATIVE.

HARRIS, Chairman. S. B. MOORE, Sec'y. MRS. A. L. STEMMONS, Vice. All Who Anticipate Coming, Should Write F. A. Hugbes, Chairman Reception Com FOR SUPREME JUDGE. What qualities are most needed in a justice of our highest tribunal—the court of last resort in the common wealth—the court which construes and defines the law of the land? An absolute essential is a comprehensive, analytical knowledge of 'law and practice', fortified by a judicial mind and temperament and long experience in untangling and passing upon the intricacies of litigation. Then we come to the man himself—his personality, character and characteristics—his reputation and standing in the community. He should be of the strong physique necessary to M. B. ARGUS COX, Circuit Judge great and sustained mental effort. He should be indefatigable, of calm and equable poise, of unassailable honor, temperate, just and unprejudiced, of great moral and physical courage, above the bias of party ties or personal influence and above aila man of becoming modesty as to individual attainments and preferment—not in any sense a self-seeking politician. It is fortunate for Missouri that such a man is available, possessing all these qualifications in a high degree, as well as the advantages of an immaculate home life. It is an honor to the grand old party that he is by choice and in principle a Republican. It is a source Executive Committee: man. S. B. MOORE, Sec'y. MRS. ning, Should Write F. A. Hughes of pride to the people of the Ozarks that this sterling character developed among them, and the Republican party will add a proud trophy to its many laurels if it nominates Judge Argus Cox, of our Circuit, tor this high office. In the main we have been extremely fortunate in the selection of Circuit Judges. Such names as Miller, Wallace and Edwards will long live in the annals of our local jurisprudence. But it is no disparagement to these, distinguished gentlemen to say that the fifteen years of Judge Cox's service on bench have clothed the court with new dignity, inspired more wholesome respect for the laws in his circuit and established new and higher precedents in judicial acumen. His decision embrace all the salient points at issue, are almost invariably found to be along the same lines as the opinions of the higher courts which have reviewed them. The eighteenth Circuit cannot hope to easily replace such a Judge should he be called to higher duties, but his fame is State wide and his talents are needed in a larger field. Southwest Missouri is for him almost unanimously if he can be induced to accept the responsibility and neither his party or his State could make a wiser or more popular choice.—Linn Creek Reveille. --- Pythians and Calantheans Take Notice.
