Negro in Missouri Politics.

Editor Logan, of the Professional
World" a negro race paper publish
ed in Columbia, in last weeks issue
printed the following editorial COM
ment on the recent election in the
Sixth Congressional district:
1.-THE St. Louis Globe-Democrat in
speaking Of the election held recently
in the Sixth Congressional District,
comments on the fact that negro
voters were too busy working to go
to the polls and vote. The fact of
the matter is the negro in Missouri is
awakening to the fact that there is
little or nothing to be gained by his
political activity, such as he has been
taking for the past forty years. That
every man should be enough inter-
ested In politics to vote on election
day, we do not deny and have always
agreed, but ii is useless for negroes
to constantly allow themselves to be
used as a tool for any political party;
it's ell folly, and this is what the ne
gro In Missouri has been doing. ITO
the victors belong the spoils'' Is a
time-honored rule in politics, but the

HIT AN INSOLENT NEGRO.
For This a Missouri Boy is Sus-
pended From the State
University.

Nevada Mail.
The many friends of Roscoe Bluck
in this city were greatly surprised
when the news came that he had
been suspended from the State Uni
versity; in fact, they could hardly be-
lieve the unwelcome report and could
not imagine what he could have done
to have merited such action on the
part of the University.
His ability to play foot ball seems,
in measure at least, to have aroused
the jealousy of some of the students,
who wanted to see senior elected
captain of the team instead of Bluck,
who is junior. The Kansas City
Star recently published dispatch
which limited that some of the stu
dents wanted a senior captain.
. The cause for the suspension of
Bluck was given out by the Univer-
sity as being the arrest of Bluck for
disturbing the peace.
Bluck in company with four or five
other students was walking on pub
lie street of Columbia when a big yell
low negro 'butted" into them and
made an uncalled for remark, and
Bluck, having the courage to resent
an insult knocked the negro into the
middle of the street. Later he was
arrested and business man of Co.
lumbia signed his bond to appear in
court, and when he was assessed a
fine of 81 and costs another Columbia
business man paid the fine, which
speaks well for Bluck. Some of the
students took up the matter, and the
result was that Bluck was suspended.
A Woodworking, ambitious Missouri
boy, raised in Vernon county, was
expelled from the Missouri State Uni
versity, because he knocked an in
sulting negro down. Bucks friends
here will be more than ever loyal to
him, and will be ready to assist him
in entering another college.
The friend says that many of the
students have taken Bucks side of
the trouble, and so have many of the
citizens of Columbia.

same is not adhered to by Missouri
Republican leaders. Republicans
have ridden into office on the negroes
vote, they have in great measure
became victors by his suffrage, but
in the division of the "spoils" the ne
gro has been left out entirely, and
now he is wisely beginning to ask
"where is my share?" In the last
election in this state, the 10000 ne
gro voters almost to man voted the
straight Republican ticket, but in the
distribution of the thousands of jobs
at the disposal of the Republicans
now in power no negro has been
found worthy of consideration, while
white Republicans in every section of
the state have been well cared for.
Can there be any surprise that the
negro is "too busy" to vote?"

The brides dress was one piece
lingerie frock, deliberately trimmed in
Valenciennes lace and applique. The
groom was dressed in the usual black
and the couple made a fine appear
ance as they stood at the marriage
altar.
Both parties are members of high
ly influential and substantial families
of our county on the west and grew
to man and womanhood in the neigh
borhood where they were united in
marriage and will continue the jour
ney of life together. The bride is a
most eetimable, sensible and practical

teristics Of a true and noble girl and
the necessary accomplishments to
make bright and happy home for
the man of her choice. Her father,
VIM. Laney, has long been known as
one of Hudson townships good, solid
and useful citizens, while the men,
bers Of his family are prominent in
church and social circles.
Clyde is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. H.
j. Piepmeier, who are also pioneer,
substantial and highly esteemed resi-
dents Of the neighborhood. He is a
young man possessing the most COM
mendable habits of industry and
sobriey and enjoys the esteem of a
large circle of friends. He already
has a good farm and nice home to
which to take his bride. He owns
what is known as the Randolph farm
Of 100 acres about four and one-half
miles west of the city, where himself
and bride will be "at home" to their

About forty guests were present.

Adrian Journal Notes.

Whiehelpingto movea house Tues
day Frank Shook received injuries
which might have proven very seri-
GUS, but fortunately he escaped with
only few severe bruises. The cable
broke under tension and struck him
on the limbs with enough force to
send him several feet in the air, and
he lit on his head. The fall knocked
him unconscious for a time. Two
physicians were called and under
their treatment he soon rallied and
was soon able to be out on the streets.
Clyde Shut, who makes his home
with David Blair, sustained injuries
last week, which resulted in break
ing one Of his legs in two places. He
was milking and the cow kicked him,
breaking his limb, she then stepped
on the limb and broke it in another
place. Drs. S. L. and Floyd Bates
were called and set the broken limb,
and the patient is doing well.
Walter Rice and Anna Nelson were
quietly married at the beautiful home
OF the bride, five miles northwest of
PasSaic, Missouri, Saturday evening,
February Goth, 1910, in the presence
OF few near relatives and friends,
Rev. Clifford H. French, of Passaic,
officiating, These young people are
highly esteemed by their acquaint-
ances, and We predict for them a
happy and prosperous married life.
They will make their home in Pas
sale.
Judge D. c. Fuller of Hoxie, Kan
sas, arrived Saturday for visit with
his son, Harry, and to look after
business interests. He seems well
pleased with his new home and looks
hearty, it seems from his appearance
thatl Alfalfa makes healthy diet.
Bert Ewing and daughter, Myrtle,
have been seriously i'll. Bert is bet
ter, but Myrtle's condition is very
critical. She has pneumonia fever,
and this trouble is made more critical
on account of heart trouble. We
wish her speedy recovery.

been demonstrated that these drives
are not a success, but we do not know
the cause of the failure.
