Sedalia Weekly Conservator. The Negro's Political Power In The North. THE BLACK MAN'S POWER AS RAY STANNARD BAKER THE MAGAZINE WRITER, SEE'S IT Where One Vote Counts As Much As Eight. VOL VI THE NEGRO'S POLITICAL POWER IN THE NORTH In another way the Southern attitude toward the Negro affects the nation. Owing to disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" laws, thousands of Negroes have moved northward and settled in the great cities, until to-day Negro voters, though they may not (as has been claimed) hold the balance of power, yet wield a great influence in the politics of at least four states—Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, and Rhode Island—and are also considerable factors in the political destiny of Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware. The potential influence of the Negro voter in the North is excellently illustrated in the present campaign for the Republican nomination to the presidency, especially in the fight in Ohio between Foraker and Taft and in the eagerness displayed by Taft to placate the Negro vote In still another way the Negro affects the entire nation. Through its attitude of exclusion the South exercises an influence on national legislation out of all proportion to its voting population. Though nearly all Negroes are disfranchised, as well as a lar ge number of white voters, all these disfranchised voters are counted in the allotment of Congressmen to Southern states. WHERE ONE VOTE COUNTS AS MUCH AS EIGHT Out of this has grown a curious condition. Georgia, for example has eleven congressmen, whom in 1902 were cast only 40,874 votes; while Delaware, with only one congressman, cast 41,672 votes. In 1904 Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Mississippi, which have 35 members in congress, cast only 413,516 votes, while Massachusetts alone, with only 14 congressmen, cast 445,098 votes. Here, for example, is the record of South Carolina in 1902: Total population of voting age, both white and colored, 284,325 Total white voting population, 130,374 Total actual vote in 1902 for congressmen, 35,185 Total Democratic vote which elected eleven congressmen, 29,343 Thus in South Carolina a little over 2,600 votes elect a congressman, whereas it requires 14,000 votes to elect a congressman in Pennsylvania, and 16,000 in New York. Under the present system of political control in the South, therefore, one voter in South Carolina is as influential in national legislation as nearly seven voters in Pennsylvania and eight in New York. Now, I am not here criticising this condition; I am merely endeavoring to set down the facts as I find them. My purpose is to illustrate the profound and far reaching effects of the Negro issue upon the nation. And is it not curious, when all is said, to observe how this rejected black man, whom the South has attempted to eliminate utterly from politics, has for years, and is to day changing and warping the entire government of this nation in the most fundamental ways! Did he not cause a civil war, the results of which still curse the country? And though excluded in large measure from the polls does he not in reality cast his mighty vote for presidents, congressmen, governors? Often, looking out across the South, it appears to the observer that the Negro has a more far-reaching and real influence on our national life for being excluded from the polls than he would have if he were frankly and justly admitted to the franchise on the same basis as white men. All the real thinkers and states men of the South have looked and longed for the hour when the South, free of this dominance of an ugly issue, should again take its great place in national affairs. In 1875, at the close of Reconstruction, Senator Lamar of Mississippi predicted in a speech at Jackson that the South, having eliminated the Negro from politics, would now divide on new economic issues and become politically healthy. But that has not happened: less division on real issues probably exists in Mississippi today than in 1875. Why? Is it not possible that the manner of the elimination of the Negro from politics is wrong? Has it occurred to leaders and statesmen that Negroes who are qualified can be eliminated into politics: that the present method in reality makes the Negro a more dangerous political factor than he would be if he were allowed to vote regularly and quietly? Has it occurred to statesmen that justice might eliminate the Negro more effectively than injustice? SOUTHERNERS WHO ARE SPEAKING OUT In spite of the domination of both parties in the South by narrowing groups of leaders there are not wanting men to fight for a new alignment. On the Republican side one of these men is Joseph C. Manning, of Alexander City, Alabama, of Alabama, who publishes a paper called the Southern American. He has shown how white men are being disfranchised as well as Negroes, how the South is controlled by a "Bourbon oligarchy in the Dem. party" as he calls them. His paper appears every week with his denunciations in big letters, urging the Republican party to reform and become a party of truth and progress. He says: "THE RALLYING CRY." "The great body of the people of the white South, the masses of the white people of Alabama, are to day suppressed by the strategy of a political Autocracy dominating under the guise and pretense of a Democracy. "Why not throw off the yoke and get in the fight? "Rise up above this petty delegate getting patronage manipulating. state chairman squabbling, until this small politics shall become lost in the great and supreme issue. "Stop this 'lily-white' nonsense. Quit being sidetracked by this Bouton wail of Negro. Recognize this vital force of the SEDALIA, MO., MONDAY, JULY 13, 1908. immovable truth that an injustice to one American citizen will react upon all. You can't have one law for the white man and another for the Negro in our form of government. You know that those who have the most talked of suppressing blacks have really suppressed you, white Republicans, and the most of the Southern whites. "The outcry of Negro and social equality, and the like is the very essence of political moonshine." And Manning is by no means the only Southerner who sees the conditions and is stoutly demanding justice for the Negro. A number of men inside the Democratic party are not afraid to speak out. Ex-Congressman Fleming of Georgia said in a notable address at Athens, Ga.: "Those whose stock in trade is 'hating the nigger' may easily gain some temporary advantage for themselves in our white primaries, where it requires no cour age, either physical or moral, to strike back—not even with a paper ballot. But these men will achieve nothing permanent for the good of the state or of the nation by stirring up race passion and prejudice. Injustice and persecution will not solve any of the problems of the ages. God did not so ordain his universe. Odd Fellows Build Home Fineest Office Building Owned By Colored Men in the World COSTS $135,000. Mr. Wm. L. Houston, National Grand Master of the G. U. O. F. of America, who makes his home in Washington, D. C., has returned from Philadelphia, where he has been for several days for the purpose of inspecting and dedicating in the name of the United Order of Odd Fellows the fine, magnificent headquarters which has been built in the heart of Philadelphia, on the corner of Twelfth and Spruce streets. The ground, building and furnishings represents an outlay of $135,000, and is conceded to be the finest office building owned by any organization of colored men in the world. It is fireproof, constructed of steel, granite, marble and terra cotta, rising five stories above the basement, with elevator service and electrical fixtures throughout. The first floor will be rented to merchants, while the floors above, arranged as offices, will be used to conduct the business of the Order. The building has a frontage of 120 feet and is designed upon the most modern type of architecture. It will be dedicated with elaborate ceremony on July 15th, under the auspices of the sub committee of management. And all the lodges, households, councils, patriarchs and juveniles of Phila delphia and other places will participate. For many years the C. U. O. of O. F. has felt the need of new headquarters and efforts have been made in the past to secure a suitable building. But it was reserved for Grand Master Houston's business administration to give the Order a structure which is an ornament to the city and a credit to the race and an honor to the great eternity of Odd Fellows. Grand Master Houston is being showered with congratulations upon his great achievement in successfully erecting this mas sive building, which will be forever a monument to his capacity and ability as a leader of this world-wide organization, which has done more for the uplifting and the upbuilding of the race than any other secret order in these United States. The Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth, councils, patriarches and Juveniles throughout the country should hold a celebration in honor of that grand achievement. PENANCE.

JOHN HASKINS, Independence, Mo. (From the Afro-American League, Topeka, Kansas.) COLOREDS WIN CASE IN VA. IMPORTANT DECISION HANDED DOWN BY SUS PREME COURT OF VIR. GINIA. Richmond Planet, June 20.—A decision of far-reaching importance was rendered by the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, sitting at Wytheville in the case of Peoples Pleasure Park company, Inc., et als vs Rohledger. The Circuit court of Henrico, Judge R. Carter Scott, presiding was reversed. This was the case where the colored company purchased Fulton Park as a pleasure resort and white people of the neighborhood objected to the instituted proceedings to prohibit the use of the park by colored people. An injunction was sued out before Judge R. Carter Scott and granted to be effective, when the bond specified therein was furnished. The case was finally heard upon its merits and the injunction made perpetual. Messrs. Smith, Moncure and Gordon were counsel for the defendants. The Supreme Court has thus decided that the injunction should not have been granted. The opinion was handed down Thursday, June 11, '08. Dr. H. C.

Negro Girl Is Victor; Best Great Speller WINS FOR CLEVELAND CONTEST IN WHICH THREE OTHER CITIES TAKE PART Southern Pupils Congratulate The Smart Child Cleveland June 29th.—With waiving race prejudice. Cleveland June 29th.—With 1,560 chances to err, fifteen of the eight grade school children of Cleveland today misspelled only forty words in the big inter-city spelling contest which opened the annual convention of the National Educational Association, and this city won the contest from Pittsburg, New Orleans and Eric, Pa., each of which cities sent a team of fifteen to the convention The victory was a personal triumph for a little dusky maiden, Marie C. Bolden, 13 year old, daughter of a Negro mail carrier of this city, who spelled every word correctly, both in oral and the written tests. The convention was swept with a storm of applause at her demonstration, the result of which was made known far down the line of announcements on the big blackboards, and at a time when her score meant a victory for Cleyelaud, the earlier announcements having put Pittsburg and New Orleans in the lead. The little girl was congratulated by hundreds, even members of the New Orleans spelling team shaking her hand when President Francis H. Haserot of the Cleveland board of education pinned to her dress the gold medal which denotes the championship of American public school spellers. Earlier, jnst before the contest began, several of the New Orleans children had balked at the idea of spelling against a Negro girl, but in a caucus the southern team decided to go into the contest, BASKET DINNER OTTERVILLE MO: July 6th 1908 Dear Mr. Editor— Please print this for me, I hope the public will pardon me for not notifying you of the quartley meeting and basket dinner at Otterville Jnly 19th.

'That the contest was remarkable became apparent to the 60 adults who occupied seats in the big hippodrome when the words were pronounced.

One of the most frequently misspelled words by a curious coincidence was "misspelled." One little Pittsburg boy caused a storm of applause when in the oral test he was asked to spell 'gas" "Gas?" he repeated in a questioning tone. "gas?" Why 'g-a-s,' as he smiled condensingly, for he was Harry Marion Pittdburg newsboy, and accounted one of that city's prize spellers. He won a good mark, misspelling only two words, one oral and one written.—The Record Herald. DISTRICT PRESIDENT.

Whatever prompted its insertion, no little importance attaches to the plank in the Republican platform declaring its friendship for the Negro, "demanding" equal justice to the race; declaring "without reservation," for the enforcement "in letter and spirit" of the War Amendments, and condeming as "unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land" all devices that have for their real aim disfranchisement of the Negro. Taken as a whole, the moderate, yet reasonable and unequivocal tone of this plank free as it is from the remotest effort to slander or lecture the Negro (without which deviations no document emanating from the Republican party concerning Negroes has of late years been considered complete), will have a great moral influence, and define, as has not been done in recent years, the only sensible and logical ideal toward which this country can look with reference to the race question. As important, perhaps, as any other situation produced by this plank is the fact that it irrevocably commits the Republican party to this broad-gauged policy toward Negroes, not merely because it conforms with the spirit and letter of the Federal Constitution, or because of empty claims for "equality," but "because it (the Republican party) believes that his (the Negro's noteworthy progress in intelligence, industry, and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation." Aside, however, from the in evitable moral effect which will of itself attach to such a pronouncement, the plank is without weight as a campaign document because if the palpable insincerity with which it was proposed and adopt- DR Seminal Weakness and Sexual Debtility of youthful follies and excess—causing high losses blotches on the face, confused ideas and forgetfulness, baskfulness and aversion to society, site, curred for life.

The nowling farce, not to say hypocrisy, of the entire situation is apparent when, notwithstanding the solemn condemnation of measures destined to disfranchise the Negro, it is recalled that Candidate Taft, in a speech at Tuskegee two years ago, after branding Negroes as ignorant political children, declared his belief that a policy of the southern people in adopting laws which exclude impartially both the black and white ignorant and irresponsible, could not be criticised. Indeed, were there anything savoring of sincerity in the Republican "demond" for the enforcement "in letter and spirit" of the war amendments, it has all along been wholly within their power to substitute enforcement for demand. But instead of this the Republican Federal Supreme Court has persistently dodged the disfranchisement issue and has upheld the separate car laws, being joined in this latter stand by the Republican Interstate Commerce Commission, as well as in substance, if not in fact, by President Roosevelt. In short, the plank, forced upon the party as a means of placating a disgusted Negro constituency, is perhaps the sanest ever adopted by the Republican party, though the principles for which it declares will, as usual, be straightway forgotten after November 3.—The Pilot, Philadelphia, Pa.

M. E. Church, at Warrensburg July 1st 1905 --- Many years ago certain pastors were accustomed to devote one Sabbath every three months to certain forms of Service in behalf of the Sabbath-School Anniversaries, either upon a Sabbath or some week-day evening. Here we have the several elements of the evolution of Children's Day. An effort was unavoidably made to systematize and correlate those several customs of recognizing the children's place in the Public Worship of the Lord's Day. As a result of this wide spread endeavor there gradually obtained a consensus of thought and practice. Who it was that first suggested an annual Children's Day that should combine the idea of an anniversary? A special children's service in the beautiful season of the year on which all parts of the country and Sabbath school workers could unite, it is impossible to discover. Perhaps it sprang up naturally in many child like hearts at once. It is said that it would be as easy to fix the exact hour at which spring revisits the earth after the storms of winter, as to fix the date of the exact origin of Children's Day. It is claimed that the Methodist Episcopal Church in its general Conference, was the first ecclesiastically to recognize Children's Day. The money collected on that day goes to assist the development of the General church and the Sunday School union department. Its aims and objects are not only to raise money, but to persuade the minds of our young people to know more about the Bible, because the Bible is adapted to every possible variety, taste temperment, culture and condition of the human life. The organizers of childrens Day are indeed great men, when they have passed away to their graves still will live the great deeds that they did in the lives they lived, and the powerfull lessons that they left behind them.

Victories has been won after hard fought battles. Churches established after the Saints more slain freedom came after. Mastes and slaves alike had gone down in the terrible conflict yet thrugh it all man has ever topped longer and looked a bove for sustaining powers. We are tor removed in time from the bloody scenes of conflict and s rate of other centuries, yet we thank the Creator for the gift of these great minds that labored and adversities, struggling toward heavenward lifting or tearing sin polluted humanay by snow in grees. Socrates in giving to the Dagan world a grander conception of moral Philosophy when their tempt in a moment of unprovened ungratitude they sentenced him to drink the bitter henock. But what of Socrates? How upwardly his eyes were inclined; and to what heights his heights he lifted the minds men, by his moral teachings; not only a theorietical philosophy. By his submission to the unruly decree of the Atheniad Senate and by his refusal to abscond when friends persuaded; he made himself a practical example on how men could die for those firm coniction, that take hold of the humad soul. All great reforms are the results of the activities of great minds in spired of God. But there are conditions where by men receive inspiration look up, trust in God takn daily council of him, then cometh wisdom, understanding and the power to lift as you climb Mr. Jna, G. Whittion, seeking the demotifying, ceiless traffic in human beings and having of God a proper conception of the divine Decoration "All men are created equal." Again, "Of one blood created he all nations to dwell upon the face of the earth" With Clarion voice he cries: I stand to freedom in the name Who came to raise earths' drooping poor. To break the chain from every limb The belt from every prison door. Can ven conceive of the great uplifting force of these words written by this master mind; in such and awful time? When the moral sense of this great nation seemed absolutely blind to the enormity of the great sin it commit of and unmindful of the demon it nestled in its own breast. Young men and women distance lends enchantment in estimating the value and worth of the lives of great men no less than in the estimation of a beautiful mountain scenery as it recedes from our view. But let us not for get, that in our own times in our own midst we still have great question to be settled, differences to be adjusted great principals to be declared. All the great things have not hee done, all knowledge not yet attained there is a chance for you It is your duty to prepare, prepare to do something. An increased population an explosion of territory; 100,000 foreigners coming to our shores annually demands a greater force to the test MRS. S. DALE. PROFESSIONALS .....7 A. M. TO M!D-NIGHT.....
