THE FORUM To The Public. Men Whom you Should Support and Those Whom You Should Not Support. We now enter our crusade against those merchants who are averse to reciprocity, i. e., so far as the Negro is concerned. There are business men in Springfield, Decatur, Lincoln, Quincy and over the state who get large sums of colored people's money, but discriminate in various ways, and we desire to call the attention of our people to that very fact in strong and emphatic language. We shall point the firms who say by their actions they do not want your trade, we think it high time our people were resenting such insults, by giving it to them who want it. We are forced to have Negro papers, because the white papers do not represent nor chronicle the doings of the better element of our people. We are not doing this out of any personal spite, for there may be many of our personal friends who will be condemned. The merchants who advertise in reliable Negro journals, are fit men to be considered and those who deliberately refuse are to be shunned. The same is true in the professional line. We are forced to name as unfair to our people the following firms, that say they do not want your trade: The Globe Dry Goods Co., Johnson-Hatcher, Maldener & Sons, Bankkr's Millinery, all saloons on South 5th between Adams and Monroe streets, Loper's restaurant, Huskey's restaurants, Herndon's Dry Goods store. There are others that will be named, any of you who may be personal friends of these firms, should take a copy of this paper and ask them as to the veracity of this charge. All the firms whose ads you see or have seen, are o k. The Negroes spend thousand of dollars per year here and we need not be afraid to ask for our rights. Decatur Ill.

A physician was summoned who pronounced his trouble as indigestion. He is better.—B. H. Order to Clean Up. Mayor Griffith's order to clean up Springfield is timely. He means by those orders that each person clean up their persona lawns, rrepair their fences and paint up. We think the idea commendable. St. Paul Bazaar. The Bazaar given by the ladies of the Sewing Circle was well attended and a financial success. We wish to again thank the Clubs for their most excellent program rendered for the occasion.

A Trip to Alton, Ill. A City of Hills by the Majestic Mississippi River. We were for the first tim, last Wednesday, 70 years later than Lovejoy, a visitor to old historic Aiton. It is a city of many hills and vales and has a population of about 30,000 of which 2,500 are said to be colored. There are many factories in the city among which is the glass works where many colored people work It is amusing to climb those lofty hills and view beneath you streets crowded with hustling people. Alton has a great deal of southern air about her. We find that our people live in nice houses and some of them are well-to do, however they are too backward along industrial lines. The only salvation for our race or individuals is business which seems to be Greek with our race. Last Saturday, April 27, a very dastardly deed was committed one Oggs, killed his wife. who was said to be a peacable lady. We hope all will look at this and profit by his misfortune. Mr. Knight, chef at Madison Hotel is quite a genial young man. and efficient. He has four assistants. Mr. Madison Burke is a stone mason of high-class and does fine work. Mr. G' C.

Homes The Printer 3051 So. 6th St. EDITORIAL Saturday May4. 1907 Roosevelt does not lose any of his strenuosity, however. When a man commits suicide would you not call that the power of matter over mind. Come hither into politics where spirits of just men are made imperfect. Two Negro appointments in the first ward up-to-date. It is to be hoped that the mayor will establish a precedence. Winter still lingers in the lap of spring. There was some surprise at Bill Burtor's appointment, and in fact from a racial standpoint it should not have been made. The white politician is sore because the mayor sees fit to use his own discretion in the matter of his appointments. When young high school and college graduates learn that the end is only the beginning, we shall have a more intelligent constituency. Probably some of the frequenters in saloons and cafes run by Negroes think the prohibitory signs mean the contrary to what they read. F. K. Dunn of Coles County, was nominated at Decatur this week on the 143d ballot at the Republican Judicial convention. L. Y. Sherman was also a strong competitor. If the Negro is inferior he should strive to reach the altitude, especially along industrial lines, that will bring his ability into prominence as a mechanic. We beg leave to ask our esteemed contemporary, the Nashville, Globe this question: When a person says a girl is a. 'peach' what does he mean? We have all kinds of peaches. THEFORUM How is it that colored people expect colored papers to measure arms with millionaire white papers when these same Negroes never aspire for anything higher than a janitor job. Nor do our people try to compete with the rich in business and social life. The whole thing goes along side by side. Just as soon a man is elected, the people run him insane by demanding to know away ahead, if he will be a candidate for reelection. Give the men a chance to make a record so they will have something to point you to. It must be remembered that in the development of the moral state, we are constantly building; that our moral status is not complete while we remain in the flesh. Infinite toil would not enable one to sweep away a mist, but by ascending a little, one may often look over it altogether. Just so it is with our moral improvements: we wrestle fiercely with a vicious habit which could have no hold on us whatever, if we ascended into a higher moral atmosphere.—N. Baptist Union. How Can a Man be Born When he is Old? When Nicodemus asked this question nearly 2000 years ago in the synagogue, the only answer he got was this: Marvel not man, I say unto you, you must be born again; that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit; the wind bloweth where it listeth and you hear the sound thereof, but you knoweth not from whence it cometh or whither it goeth; so is every man who is born of the spirit." We are not prepared to say that Nicodemus is any the more elightened on the subject, tho he might have been. There are many people to-day as ignorant as was the prophet. Preachers often emphasize on the word, born again and yet four-fifths of us do not understand them, nor do many of them know what they are talking about themselves. Born of the spirit—to be born you must first be conceived by the spirit. If our preachers would hold up a little on their hallo about the pearly gates and golden slippers, etc., and explain things, we would be richer and better in our knowledge and hope of an infinite felicity. There is a crowd of young Negroes who frequent the gallery in Chatterton's opera house who are not fit to be allowed to stay in the city. Last Tuesday we were made to feel very badly—during the rendition of one of Mme Jones' songs, some one, (and we are sure he was a Negro,) made a very base remark in the gallery. audibly enough to be heard by people both in the balcony and parquet. If we knew this ingrate's name we would call it. The remark was mean, low and uncalled for. We think he is a leather-colored, bushy-haired youngster with projecting forehead who works at Little's livery stable. All who heard him, what do think of him?

Also spoken of as a good man forgovernor in 1908. The Effect of Sunday Excursions. To behold the arrival and departure of a Sunday Excursion such as those here last Sunday from Keokuk and Hannibal persuades one to believe that they are a detriment to the moral welfare of the whole people and more especially to Negro folk. We have observed them both here and elsewhere and are fully persuaded to declare them an irropara le sin and an abomination to society as well as the cause of great poverty. If the fare from here to Hannibal be only $1.25 round trip, each person feels it intuitively his duty as well as his privilege to spend not lesn than $5.00 on the side. If there were 1,000 excursionists it would reach the astonishing sum of $5,000 looted and wasted unaware. Negroes think of it, where does the money go? Many of you anticipating the morrow excursion, will not pay your Saturpay night bills You leave your church and families for what? Non sense. The train is usually on the road most of the time. The ride per se is no pleasure on account of the large crowd, many of whom are profane and drunken. Behold the situation and let us recede. We beheld awful sights last Sunday at the Wabash. Women and men drinking from the naked bottle through a car window. The Forum notes these decadent things in order that you may take cognizance and help to stop. Again we ask where does the money go? The train is owned by the whites, the engineer is white, firemen, brakemen, conductor, baggagemen, newsboys yea all are white. Aud too, these same people, who take your money, do not want to see you earn an honest dollar. But even if we do go on excursions occasionally, let us act as people in a civilized country and not as heathens. The Legislature would do well to pass a law prohibiting Sunday Excursions. We desire to see our people enjoy themselves but not as dogs and ferocious animals but as high-class Americans and Illinoisans. The dailies are so free with publishing Negro saloon raids, we will see if they will copy the comment on this. Watch. Northbound. Arrive.

Mr. S. G. Roades of Chicago has opened up a first-class Cafe at 1124 E. Washington St. with modern arrangements and first-class chefs and waiters. His bills of fare show that the people will be enabled to replenish their wants along the culinary lines; and he emphatically declares that the place will be first class in in fact as well as in print the fact that the place is not environed and surrounded by the vulgarity of many places is a valuable asset to his business.

Also don't say you will pay at the office unless you mean it and do it. The worst thing in the world, no doubt, is a profane woman. Whenever you hear woman curse, especially in men's company, she is beneath the attention of any man, regardless of his station or standing. The Appointments. It is feared that the mayor has erred in his appointment of Negroes up to date. There is a current rumor to the effect that the appointment of Percy McCloud was not a discretionary one, as two years ago they say he was for Devereux and sought an appointment under him on the fire department: that he was intercepted by John Sanders, and you know the rest. Dame rumor further says with reference to Ollie Singleton that he also cast his fortune with Devereux two years and therefore should not have a lucrative job under a Republican administration. And he shouldn't. Then there is Frank Simpson who worked at the fire department under the Devereux regime. This it is claimed is a verification that he must have been an ardent adherent of the ex-mayor. We are at a loss to see just how and why this should be, we hardly believe the mayor is thoroughly acquainted with these circumstances. Then there is Mr. Burton, whom the people say is the arch offender of them all, who was the first to "land." It is the prevailing wail that he was the one guiding sattelite that caused Mark Anthony's political sun to sink behind the aldermanic horizon, possibly, to never rise again. Civility, courteousness and diplomacy are the paramount requisites that should go to fit one for a public servant, and these devoid of that ever present superabundance of 'ego' exhibited in the new "copper's" demeanor with every fleeting breath. This gentleman is likely to be attacked with some sort of a malady akin to brainsstorm or "dementia Americana." This is deplorable. What is to be said? All worked for the success of the ticket but all cannot hope to get what they desire. The civil service measures will rectify conditions so far as Negro appointments are concerned and all others. And until that time, as the Count of Monte Christo said to Maximilian and Morrell, we must "wait and hope."—W. Be Ye Doers and not "Hot Afr Merchants." There is a class of our people who talk race pride but fail to act it. We desire to inform them that such is equivalent to faith without works. If you want the young girls who graduate from your schools to have jobs, patronize the colored business. That does not mean that you are to ignore white people. We are one homogeneous race after all, though we are heterogeneous in species. We must do these things. The Forum asks your support in order that we may be of some good to our race and to humanity. We desire to help improve the white as well as the colored people. Take Bloomington for example. Let every family and every colored man or woman there who can read, give Miss Blanche Hoagland his or her subscription for one year or six months or three months and you have opened a job for her through your effort. She can make enough to give her whole time to it. She is intelligent, has been to school, a bright young star, will you do it? There is Rev. Hall, he is a man for the uplifting of the people and the THEFORUM dissemination of knowledge. We hope he will call attention to this fact. We hope that he and other preachers will send us their cuts and we will run them free, also Dr. Covington We only ask that they emphasize this fact to their people and the whites. We call for doers and not sayers only Springfield likewise. You are always complaining about the lethargy of our girls. If you people will all support the Forum we will have places for four or five more girls of high school training. If you don't believe try it. You are not doing your duty. Negro preachers seldom speak of these things from their pulpits. We will gladly publish the subjects of their sermons for Sunday if they but send them in but they do not do that even. What, do they fear the people to know their subjects? Some of our ablest Negroes do not read a colored paper unless they borrow it yet they want us to denounce the worthless-who are the worthless is the question. We are now talking plain Many of our Women's clubs pose as working for the aid of the girls and not one of them take colored papers which are striving to give the girls positions. We expect you all to pay attention to this because we are striving to and are, to a small degree, doing so. Another thing, we ask the women to patronize these stores who advertise and mention the fact. Think over this. Mr. Lindly of Bond County. Among the able, courageous and stalwart sons of the State of Illinois, a man whose record is clean garments are not beguiled or spotted and whose unswerving fidelity to the Republican party is surpassingly creditable. is Mr. Lindly of Bond County, a representative in the lower house of the Illinois Legislature. the most august in the Union. His Pure Food Bill shows his high sense of moral courage and that undaunted spirit, human blessedness. Mr. Lindly is Chairman of the Steering committee, the most important committee of the House. Some of Mr, Lindly's friends, no nobt he is unaware, have spoken of him as a most available man for Governor in 190g before the State Convention He is from the country and the choice will no doubt be from that part of the state. He is a close friend of the Governor and there may be much credence in the report. The Forum knows of no abler nor acceptable man than the gentleman from Bond County. What says the state? Bode a Candidate 2 Years Hence. Any sane man knows that the calling together of men and denominating the club, the Jeffer son-Lincoln club by Bode and his followers is but the sound of the tocsin, Bode or a Bode man will be a candidate for Mayor in 1909 and they are opening the campaign in due season. They have a right to do so and we are not criticising them for it but simply calling the attention of the Republicans and Democrats to the fact that Bode will be a factor in Springfield politics two years hence. If the Republicans hope to retain power longer than two years, which they should, we advise them to take cognizance of the fact that Bode is not dead.

Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from post-office to which they are directed they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, they are held responsible. the refusing to take periodicals from postoffice, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of international fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearages is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the SPRINGFIELD, Typewrit For typewritten ee W.
