The Forum

THE FORUM VOL. 4, NO.24. Roy R. Reece For Mayor Roy R. Reece, Republican candidate for mayor is a young man in the prime of vigorous manhood in whom we all have implicit confidence. He was reared and schooled here and his deportment, both in public and private life, is without a demer it. His reputation as a business man is unquestioned and he is a young man of high moral worth. Why He is The Best Man. He is the best man because he is allied with and a member of the best party on earth. He will carry out those broad principles inaugurated by the late David S. Griffith. He stands sponsor for progress and is one of the best liked and most highly respected young men in the city. Republicans Should be Loyal. Every Republican should be loyal and not lose sight of the important fact of having the city remain in the hands of the Republican party. It is imperative and the duty of every Republican to stand firm, don't let petty dif M. ferences of the past dissuade you from voting for Reece. Our city has started out to blossom, and next year we have our national and state elections, also several county elections. Should Finish Administration. The Republican party should finish the administration begun by Mayor Griffith by all means-not the democrats. Let every Negro voter stand firm. Our people will be represented better than ever before—we shall be master. Our city is now in debt nothing can restore it to its normal place save a Republican administration. Do you want Will George and other men on Washington street, to again open their joints? Personally the people have nothing to say against Mr. Reece's opponent, "Be ye doers and not sayers only."

The same men that you repudiated at the polls on April 6th last. Readers! it's time for our people to again be loyal as you were April 6. It was not Devereux you were so tired of, but the following: Jim Anderson's police force — if you support a democrat you replace this same abominable gang back in the city hall and in the police station. Let us not do so. We'll not do so and we hope we voice the entire wishes of the colored and white people when we say Roy Reece should be, must be, and will be, the next mayor. same level. We feel that the chair, so lamented by D. S. Griffith, well and honorably filled, compatriot and home young citizen, Roy R. Re Decatur, New (Continued from last week) The past week has been busy week among the people. Quite a number witness wonderful program rend the A. M. E. Church, T. Get Out a Large Vote. We hope a large vote will be polled. Let everyone interest himself. It is of vital importance to each one of you that this city be conducted by a Republican mayor and council. The Republicans have a two-thirds majority in the council, what benefit can a man hope to derive from the election of John H. McCreery? The Republican party has always been the most successful party and every man regardless of race or class has shared better under its ruling. We repeat, we do not want our police force again under such ruffians. Chief Seago has had better police regulations during these three months than Anderson had for 48 months. Don't Forget the Date-July 16. Let us keep in memory the date. Every Republican must be interested. Our party shall not lose. We call for valiant workers and Roy Reece will win. Are you a Republican or democrat? We ask this question to our colored friends. If you are a republican you have too much principle and your patriotism is too true for you to change your vote even if you may be offered a larger amount. There may be a few but how many, who'll be so weak as to sell his citizenship to the highest bidder. Of course if you are a democrat and believe that party is better, we are not alluding to you, but do not be purchased for a mere dollar; for he who can be bought may be sold and sold cheap for cash. Therefore in this special election we ask the colored people especially, to be men. We have no grievance in this fight. Everyone can not get positions, but the party is looking to the colored people as well as to the other's interest and more yet will be done. What can we hope to gain by not supporting Reece? Absolutely nothing. Therefore stand fast and be not again entangled with the democratic yoke of bondage. Roy Rsece an Ideal Young Man In asking your support of this young man, we have not before had the pleasure to speak of a more affable, congenial, amiable man. He is efficient, not puffed up, plain and meets all on the same level. We feel satisfied that the chair, so lamentably vacated by D. S. Griffith will be well and honorably filled by our compatriot and home made young citizen, Roy R. Reece. Decatur, News. (Continued from last week.) The past week has been a very busy week among the colored people. Quite a number witnessed the wonderful program rendered at the A. M. E. Church. Thursday evening, after which refreshments were served in the basement. Mrs. Phillips Ray gave a pillow contest Thursday night for the benefit of Antioch Baptist Church. Quite a crowd was present. Mrs. Albert Jones holding the lucky number received the pillow with great surprise Mrs. Ray has embroidered quite a number of fancy pieces of the church also for the club. See her at 21 West Main St. and view the many beautiful designs. J. A. Crocket favored us with one of his able sermons Sunday morning. The services were well attended. After the sermon we witnessed those who put on Christ by Baptism. Misses Beedie and Addie Cook returned home Saturday after a visit of several weeks with their father in Missorri.

A large crowd was present and all seemed to have well spent the evening, There is not a more high class store with better grade Men's Wearings than Carlock's. Decision in Edwards Case. The interstate commerce commission in a decision to-day in the case of Georgia Edwards against the Nashvilles Chatanooga and St. Louis railroad held that where a railroad provides certain accommodations for a first-class passenger of the white race it is commanded by the law that like accommodations shall be provided for negroes who have purchased first class tickets. It holds that in this case it is manifest the railroad has unduly and unjustly discriminated in some particulars against colpassengers," and orders that where the railroad provides a wash bowl and towels in the coaches for white passengers and a separate smoking compartment, similar accommodations shall be provided for negro passengers paying similar fare The complainant, who has purchased a first class ticket from Chataanooga to Dalton, Ga., was removed from a car for white persons to one for negroes, and complained that she was discriminated against because of her, color and not afforded equal facilities, Commissioner Lane, who rendered the decision of the commission to-day held: "The expense of the small smoking compartment in the latter (the car for white) accounts for nearly all the difference in cost between the two cars." He holds that the broad question of the right under the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the constitution to segregate white and colored passengers has been upheld by the supreme court of the United States. The opinion continues: "Accepting these decisions as conclusive upon the constitutionality of such laws, we turn to the consideration of the reasonableness of such a rule when imposed by the carrier. and this we find to have been passed upon by this commission within a few months of its organization in the case of Council versus Western and Atlantic railroad company, which was decided Dec. 3, 1887, and which held this separation may be carried out on all railroad trains without its advantage to either race and with increased comfort to both. "Again in Heard versus Georgia Railroad company, decided, Feb. 15, 1888, the commission held the separation of the white and colored passengers paying the same fare is not unlawful, if cars and accommodations equal in all respects are furnished to both, and the same cars and protection of passengers. While, therefore, the reasonable ness of such regulation as to interstate passenger traffic is established it by no means follows that carriers may discriminate between white and colored passengers in the accommodations which they furnish to each: The principle that must serve equally well all passengers, whether white or colored, paying the same fare. Failure to do this is discrimination and subjects passengers to undue and unreasonable prejudice and disadvantage. • THE FORUM. weekly magazine paper devoted the interests of the whole people.

Keep quiet—not all rush over each other—watermelons are here. Maybe "Billy" Mason was not dead but only a sleeping. Illinois is the greatest polital state in the Union, with the probable exception of New York. The election is almost sure to be won by the Republicans, as all the bankers and the leading business are on the side with that party. If people could but get into their heads that good done is like money well invested, sure to bring a good reward. there would be a more strenuous effort on the part of the masses to make good deeds the sine quo non duty and their days would be more happy, their their lives more useful and the world the beneficiary for that very fact. An humorous Mississippi writer some time ask d the delicate yet pertinent question: "When is the best time of year to marry and kill hogs?" He was answered by his equally as witty and humorous contemporary thus: "Why cold weather is the best time to preserve every kind of fresh meat." If Vardaman has been "converted" we wonder under what church creed has he really been "born again," or is he playing po-sum to acquiesce conscience? If you have conquered the devil's strongest ally, surely "we have met the enemy and they are ours." Next is Tillman Dixon will probably surrender when he learns that Tillman has come through and exclaim, "et tu Brute." Candidates for the ministry in our hurches are realizing more and more their duty in the making of preparation to preach the gospel and lead the people. This is evidenced by the fact that the greater number of them are attending school and making faithful effort to prepare themselves for the work that has been laid upon them. Moreover, this demand is increasing insomuch that should they fail to make preparation the people are no longer willing to give them time and attention.—N. B. Union. Forum promises to be one of the very best advertising mediums THE FORUM [No, the people do not propose to have a lot of ignorant 'jim-jams killing themselves saying nothing. Where did these fellows get the idea that ignorance could only reign supreme in the pulpit. Two thirds of them do not know what Paul was illucidating] Back to the Soil and Lay Your Foundation. It is a pity that so many of our people look with disdain upon a pure farm life. Their desires, apparently have been to evade the farm and rush head-long into the cities. Now many do not like to live in small towns and villages. Our advice is back to the farm where the cool air and healthy brooks flow aimlessly on and sweet-voiced birds ever sing their holy lullabies, and lay your foundation. The farm is where all nations and peoples begin prosperity. We need more farmers as a background for our prosperity. It is always the showing of a people—their farmers. We need stock raisers, gardeners, florists, horticulturalists, etc. Let young men move to the outskirts of the city and raise chicken and eggs. There is no use talking, nor crying or complaining, we must be producers as well as consumers. Over the southland our people farm, a greater percentage of them, but they are, in a great measure ignorant and too extravagant and too undiversified in their farming. Many of them raise only cotton and will not raise enough corn to run them from year to year, nor meat, potstoes and other feed stuffs—hence all their cotton casa is taken up to pay their "board bills." Back to the woods and live easy. Raymond May Revolutionize Domestic Service Regulations. That astute newspaper correspondent, of the Chicago Tribune, has digressed long enough from politics to take up the domestic servant question and has treated it in all its phases most comprehensively. Raymond explains why girls prefer to work in a factory or shop or store to that of the household for the reason that, though the house girl or cook makes much more per week or month, than the ordinary store, shop or factory girl, she has not the freedom nor the independence at the latter. And he avers that, if shorter hours with a stipulated amount of work or regulated for doing house work or working in the kitchen, a much better grade of help can be secured. People imagine it is not honorable to work in the kitchen, especially if they have received even a high school education, but it is, though a person with a high school, college or university education, should aim to get something else to do, in order that the mind and brain can harmonize with the physical part of the being. But it's no degradation and we think just as much of you, though the kitchen should not be your goal—that is you should not acquiesce in that work but only do that as a "coaling station," soaring your mind to higher and nobler things. We encourage all young ladies to not be idle-if you desire to be an amanuensis, do any kind of work until you reach your goal-if you desire to be a musician, be one, but don't sit with hands folded-work-go work in any vineyard.

Your sttention is called 10 the fact that this church is un. der the very highest intellectual and moral influences extant, The same can be truthfully said of the Lutheran church, Our other churches are gradually coming to this most vital requi- site, though we are forced ro ad- mit facts, and the factsin the case are fhese, We do not com- pel cur men to be learned in the law and letters, neither do we put enough stress on the fact that immoral men are not fit for any- thing good. How can immoral- ity be amicable with morality or its autagon slic ‘cor temp. rary,” We, make a loud noise about dancing eto. and the same fellows are adulterers in the first degree When our churches call for learn. ed and moral men only, they will have risen to that pinnacle in the ‘firmament’? along side with the mighty denominations.

I fancy she's waiting for dear ones below When they have finished their course in this God given land, If they trust in their Savior to heaven they'll go With the millions of angels that take their stand.

Last Saturday the 8th regiment mobilized at Camp Lincoln for one week's tour of camp duty. Colonel Marshall put the men through an arduous week's work as usual and with the assistance of the regular army men encamped, the 8th regiment has out done all of its previous records. Sunday the heat was intense but a large crowd was out. Many from out of the city. During the week the days were spent in hard work.

The band concerts were superbly fine, at the governor's mansion, Wednesday, the musical renditions were excellent. Thursday a rain had fallen and there was no dust. an overwhelming crowd was out, the seventeen guns were fired as a salute to the governor who was met and escorted to regimental headquarters by Major Duncan. The drill this day was fine. The boys showed themselves. Governor Deneen and staff dined at the headquarters with the regimental staff. The regimental band furnished the music. The leader of the band, is a musician of rare ability. All the boys are to be praised, they ended a fine week's work. Woman's Club. The Woman's Club met on Monday at the residence of Mrs. C. H.

San Francisco's display of her petty jealousies or prejudices toward the Japanese will do more to arouse sentiment for a strong centralized government than all the pronunciamentos of Roosevelt and Root. As we have pointed out heretofore, the people of the country, as a whole, like the Japanese and welcome them to the confines of the United States. Yet, a few cities on the coast controlled by labor unions would bring on complications that are liable to embroil the whole country in a war. In the event that these complications which seem to be on the increase, should involve this country in war, what position would the Negro take? Would he forget that the Japanese would be fighting to break up the very thing against which we as a race have complained, take up his gun and defend "old glory?" Or, would he, naturally sympathizing with Japan, aid that country? Or would he remain neutral, simply tending to his own business as a private citizen? If "state rights" and city rights involve this nation in a war with a first class foreign power such as Japan is, the race problem will take on an importance never known before in this country.—Nashville Globe. Neutrality would be the only logical and proper thing. You see we are American citizens and to take up arms, against our own country would be treason according to lex loci, though The Fo THE FORUM Miss Snowden, HIGH S Is Prepared to do sten kind. see her or call The Forum for adver Bring us your ty ter-writing, rum would not favor our people fighting another race who simply are asking for treaty rights and rights guaranteed to them by our own constitution. The United States is too intelligent to be precipitated into war on the above named grounds for that our constitution is a farce or that there is such a thing as state rights. Secretary Root says it is prohibitory and not compulsory, i.e., the constitution does not say that you must allow all to go to the same schools, but it does say you shall not build schools and exclude some on racial or any other grounds. Last of Negro Troops Soon to Leave the Fort. In pursuance of a policy which has been adopted by the war department, the two troops of negro cavalry now remaining at Fort Sheridan have been ordered to leave on July 23 for th Philippines. Their place will be taken by several squadrons of the Thirteenth (white) cavalry which will come in September from Fort Riley, Kas. No more negro troops will be quartered at the post. Nine squadrons of the Ninth cavalry regiment, colored, were transferred last August to Fort Sheridan from a post in Tennesse see. Soon afterward a storm of protest arose, particularly among residents of Evanston and Lake Forest. Senator Shelby M. Cullom laid the matter before the war department; asking that the negro troops be removed if "practiable. Little was done, however, until after the "Brownsville affair," which, it is understood at Fort Sheridan, convinced President Roosevelt that it might be well to use the colored soldiers in the Philippines and Cuba. All the colored troops which were at Fort Sheridan except the two which will depart on July 23; have been sent to the Philippines.—Chicago Tribune. The Republican party is likeiy to put up its strongest man whoever he may be. It is a strong, militant, trinmphant body and not used to perpetrating mistakes. We might as well make up our minds that we shall have to go against the hot end of it. However the Courier-Journal is not concerned about the Republican nominee. If we are to have another Republican President we guess we can stand it as well as the rest; and, anyway, we'll have to. Always for the under dog, we are actually getting up a sympathy for Foraker But that's the limit. Fairbanks is no slouch, and as a neighbor would suit us though as a prople if as nothing else—we must not lose sight of Hughes, who is forging to the front and will have to be reckoned with,—Tne Louisville Courier Journal, dissenting Champ Clark's opinion that Roosevelt would be the next Republican nominee, and Bryan that of the Democrats, and that Bryan can easily beat Roosevelt. Why did Uncle Shelby recommend that the Negro troops all be sent to the Philippines? Is the defiant question.

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 postoffice 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. 5. The courts have decided that 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 PRICES FOR POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
