The Forum

THE FORUM We ran over to Decatur last Saturday over the great Illinois Traction System. Between here and Decatur we find the farmers considerably behind, some more than others. We do not know the cause of this fact. it is possible that some farmers are lazier than others, yet this may not be the cause of their being in the rear. Riverton is getting to be a great "city." There are many colored people around there, We are sorely disappointed all along the line, however, not to find our people engaged in farming We desire to say at this juncture that we need colored farmers, don't come to the cities. We want farmers, producers of the things to be consumed, we must have them We hope some will come here from the South or Kansas and start the ball a rolling. Decatur is, as many of you know, one of the prettiest places on the map. The colored people there are a very intelligent class of people who are prolific and many of them own property. They are not as business struck as we prefer them to be. Save some of your money start up a business and die before you quit or Look at H. Singleton he had no better opportunities than you. He was economical and did not try to go on every excursion or to every picnic and bell and theatre. You can't do it, don't try it. Now Mr. Singleton has as fine a restaurant as can be found in Central Illinois. This is a fact. He has purchased a tract of land out in the country and should be an example of what it takes to solve the so-called race problem Mrs. Bowman, the hair dresser is another good example to which we refer with great pleasure. She has labored; she has cast her bread upon the waters and it is now returning manifold. She owns considerable property and is no drone. Mr. Moore is yet on the police force. Mr. Williamson runs on the interurban sleeper to St. Louis. He is quite a congenial fellow The young men have opened a Forum Club and Reading Room where all magazines and papers are to be had. We commend them in this effort with special emphasis for our people need to read and think more. Mrs. James Brummel conducts an elegant Lodging House only four doors from the square. J. L. Pearson is yet at the I. C. depot as baggage man. He is a reliable man. So is Edward Jacobs yet at Wells Morehouse & Co., the greatest Hardware store in Macon County. "Be ye doers and not sayers only." Mr. Slaughter, is still engaged in his art business and doing fine work. J. S, Hughes is building a boat. Miss. Jessie Watkins was tendered a surprise last Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Ray on W. Main. St. Miss Watkins left this week for Villa Ridge. Decatur has the best criminal record of any town on the map among Negroes. Woman's Club Notes. The Philanthropic section met at the Home Monday afternoon. The donations amounted to $5. This section appointed a committee to visit colored churches and make an appeal for an after collection in order that the current expenses of the Home may be met. We hope each citizen of the race may help in these collections, if not at the church services send your small mites to the chairman of this section, Mrs. Lucy Young. Remember God will bless the cheerful giver. Appended to this report is a paper send to us by a boy 12 yrs. of age. It may inspire some boy or girl. The ladies will meet at the residence of Mrs. Julia Duncan on the 29, to tack comforts for the Home and anyone desiring to donate material at anytime it will be gladly received by Mrs. Duncan. All women are cordially invited to come out and help on the comforts. The Juvenile section will hold their annual reception at the residence of Mrs. J. C. McClain on Saturday, the 27, from two to 5. Each member will bring their guest. There will be a neat program rendered.—Club reporter. Culture of Young Ladies-The Way They Do. When young ladies are about sixteen years of age they think they must leave home. When they leave home they have very few friends at home. The best thing for young ladies to do is to stay at home and the mother would not have to do but very little work. When they are in the sixth or seventh grade at school they quit and don't know but very little. The young ladies of this city have very little culture. They go in company when very young. The girls and boys go away without their parents knowing where they are. When you want to go any place ask your parents. If their parents say no, they go whether or not. When they go home and get a whipping they are ready to leave. That is why they are not as they should be. LAD. E. J. Todd, Dead. Last Wednesday, E. J. Todd of 1119 E. Reynolds street, died after a brief illness. Mr. Todd has been a conspicuous figure in this city for the past few years. He was active in church and society and has made many friends for the Republican party. The funeral was held Friday at the New Hope Baptist church, Rev. Fulton officiating.

Dyer is reported some better. Mr. Chavos was here last week visiting his family. John Orendorff came up from Springfield to cast his vote. Now as the colored vote was solid for the United party ticket, let's see what they will do for the Negro Ask and you shall receive something like dog catchers. Negro is Made A Knight for His Bravery. Private First of His Race to Gain Dutch Hero Cross. Amsterdam, April 20.—The Netherlands government has conferred a unique distinction on a colored private named Pongo, of the colonial army, for conspicuous bravery in the field. He was made a knight of the military order of William, which is equivalent to the British Victoria Cross. The motto of this coveted order, which is held by only thirteen members of the India army, mostly officers of high rank, is, "For valor, ability and faithfulness." Years ago the Dutch authorities found it advisable to create a special token of reward for colored soldiers. The red tape view was that a negro might be valorous and faithful, but that he could not officially claim military ability, so the colonial medal for natives bears the words, "For valor and faithfulness," only. Pongo is the first negro to achieve the distinction of the full order. Globe-Democrat. Negro Papers on Sale.

Will H. arbour, Associate Editor and Secretary. Thompson Bros., Branch Office. Domana The Printer 305½ So. 6th St. EDITORIAL Saturday April 27, 1907 Is the White Race Superior? Now that is a big question, very perplexing for the Forum or the nation is the white race i.e. the Caucasion, or the posterity of the Anglo-Saxon race superior to all other races? How are we to answer that question affirmatively or negatively, you all know superior means—Webster gives several definitions all meaning beyond or above in rank or eminence, etc. Now you know that in numbers the white race is not beyond, in war for bravery and valliant services the Japenese and the Abyssinians rank as high as the whites, what, how then are we to answer this question. At the present time and as a race for wealth, invention, science, art and letters, (as a race) the Caucasion race may be correctly the superior race. But not as Tillman John Temple Graves Vardaman Dixon and many able northern men are wont to claim innately the superior race. That is they claim that by virtue of the fact that a man is white he is superior to a man who is not white. Some of these men are Yale graduates and yet such an argument is preposterous and absurd. If such were true a Negro boy who graduates from Harvard or Yale or Oxford with a general average of 99 for four years is not the equal or superior to the white man of Alabama who cannot read or write or who is void of reason. As a race the Caucasian race is at the present time superior but not ethnologically superior, 200 years hence the Negro may be superior, 100 years hence the Mongolian race may be supreme and 500 years hence the little Filipino may be the superior race If white made them superior then every white man would be superior to any other man of color individually and collectively. Bear this in mind the white race is superior as a race now hut ethnologically so you must remember the civilization of the Egyptians has not yet equaled and also the first shall be last and the last first. This is the Bible and the thesis of Darwin's "Origin and Species of Men." This is the law of evolution. Why don't Negro saloons keep a lot of eye-soring women out of their places. People become almost demented at the vulgarity used by these women. Every time you enter some of these places the same crowd is there. What are they there for? No one sees any thing attractive about them. Can't Negroes run saloons and prohibit the habitual loitering of women? If they can't they should not run. There seems here in Springfield we are sorry to say a set of indolent young men whose ambition never runs higher than a fine suit, excursions and hanging around saloons. Why can't you go into a saloon purchase what you desire and go home get your paper and book and you who have wives and children sit down there and teach them and entertain them. Some of you go from your positions headlong to a saloon—some of you with state and company positions. When you were appointed your superior aimed to represent your people. Do you not know that the people do not like to see you holding high positions and making the saloon your headquarters. A saloon is all right but a saloon is but a saloon. Negroes and Crap-shooting There is a class of Negroes in Springfield whose highest ambition apparently is to be allowed to gamble. Whenever they think the law will not be enforced they gather thmselves togather and form a crap game usually on Saturday evenings when they should take their money and pay their grocery bills and other bills and take something home to their families. Sunday morning they are written up in the dailies. Negroes ought to be ashamed of themselves especially those who pose as respectable These same people who are caught in crap games have the temerity to pose as political dictators. Corporation Counsel We endorse the Hon. A. G. Murray as a man able and deserving to be made Corporation consel to take the place of attor-Salzenstein. Mr. Murray is an ardous worker in the ranks of party and was a potent factor in the recent Republican landslide. Hail Griffiths. Vale Devereux Last Monday Griffiths ascended the throne and Devereux decended. Such is life. Devereux remained in the chair until he was ignomiriously dethroned How frail is man. It seemed as Brutus said: "Shall Ceasar live and all Rome perish or shall Ceasar die and all be free." Let Griffiths be not as Brutus charged Caesar. The Thaw trial is over but the re convention of the Brownsville investigation will take place May 14. and the papers will have some more 'news.'

Prominent Business Man. A Brief Sketch of His History. [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. Dr, C. H. Jones, the ex minister of the Missionary Baptist church, was born in Athens Ala. He received his first school training in that city but finished in Fiske University. He studied medicine 2 years in Nashville after which he was called to St. Johns Baptist church in Memphis Tenn. While there he completed the course in medicine in Hannibal Medical College. Since that time for three years he preached and practiced medicine in Missouri and for eight years in Karsas. In 1900 he came to Illinois and in 1901 he came to Springfield aspastor and preached for two years and six months in this city.

ROY SMITH, K. of R. & S. --- THEFORUM What the Leading Players Are Doing and Where They Are. Black Patti and her Troubadours comes to Chatterton's Tuesday, evening, April 30, and the public is all anticipation, as it a fact beyond question that she sings and if she hasn't substantial list of lesser lights, the public will be repaid in going for she sings. But, the Troubadours, from press reports are improving. We shall see. Williams and Walker will have a new play next season entitled Bandana Land, written by Shipp and Rogers, and it is also rumored that they will be under the direction of the Shuberts. If so, they will appear in $2 houses and Walker will have reached his ambition. Lee's Star Theater should now open with the proper management. Henry Troy of Hogan's Rufus Rastus, is the singing hit of the season backed by a strong chorus Bob Cole is the only one of our great comedians who does not black up. Rosamond Johnson's piano solos are too classical for the gallery gods and it is not unusual for them to call for rag time. But Rosey, say me to the classics. Much credit must be given to Cole and Johnson for the class of young ladies they have brought together in the Shoo Fly Regiment. Mallory Bros. and Brooks gave the entertainment for Mr. Davis, manager of the opera house at Jacksonville, recently and the press of that city gave much favorable comment. Manager W H.

That is the way parents reat their sons tobe. Itis your tast to bear with this selfishess at first until you can teach him how beautiful is thoughtfulness for others and in avery sweet bul dignified way show him that you expect the same treatment you give. In the meatime you must recol: lect that you are a faulty woman and probably spoiled by your parents if you are an American woman—and you must not as. sume a superior air over youn husband when you find out his faults merely because they are unlike your own. Whenever he does er says any. thing which annoys or pains you say to yourself, ‘I must avoic ever saying or doing that in my treatment of him. Then some day when he tell: you a fault you possess put you arm about his shoulder and say “Let us enter into a mutual im. provement society.

Of course we must make allow- ances for the occasional lawless and drunken mariner who sends his ship on the rocks and the worthless husband who does not appreciate llfe's best gifts.

Nothing is commonplace in the daiiy associations of life to two people who love each other if they do not fall into vulgarities. Mystery romance and charm can hang forever about the wife if she so chooses. Tbe husband can at every reproach be the prince charming toanchor the enchanted princess with his first kiss if he is skilled enough in love’s arts and refined enough to wish to keep the interesting role.
