Curse Less and Think More John Sharp Williams taps the cocoanut and draws the milk when he says that while the white, black, yellow and red races are not the same physically, mentally, morally, nor in any sense equal, actually or potentially, and cannot be made so by platforms or laws, yet they are creatures of one God, and in the face of a great problem it would be well that all wise men think more, that good men pray more and that all men talk less and pray more, and that all men talk less and curse less But wise men do as they are 1907. 15C A MONTH bidden by Mr. Williams. The well-meaning fool and hoodlums who start riots and the hoodlums who make 'inflamatory"speeches are the factors for fomenting race strife. The well-meaning fool whose misguided efforts are bent upon the solution of the negro problem in the South resides as a rule in a section of the North where as little is known of actual conditions in the South as the average American knows of conditions in the Congo. The hoodlums who express themselves in action are Northerners and South erners. It is no more difficult to beat up a murderous mob in Ohio than it is in Mississippi. The hoodlums who express themselves from the platform or from their seats in deliberative bodies are too often charlatans from the South who belch fire and brimstone with no higher purpose than that of advertising themselves, and who libel every Southern State when they cut their capers before high heaven. It would be going too far to say that there would be no negro problem in the United States if the foolkiller did not shirk his duties, or that there would be no race question upon the Pacific slope, but a large part of the friction between whites and blacks and the white and yellow reces has been due to his failure to acquit himself gloriously. A Booker Washington who thinks and prays does much more toward lessening race animosity than a Ben Tilman who curses. Vituperation, even from the lips of virtue, rarely corrects the evil it condemns.—Courier Journal, Louisville. Jacksonville Illinois. The Forum will be represented in Jacksonville by Theo.

Will H. arbour, Associate Editor and Secretary. Thompson Bros., Branch Office. Gemann The Printer 1051 So. 6th St. EDITORIAL Saturday Nov. 2, 1907 One important lesson colored people must learn, and that is to be honest. That is a great lesson though. Hughes is looming up now as the "bright consumate flower of our noon-day sun." The probabilities are that Missouri and Kentucky will go Republican, with Tennessee close on hand. It will not be said now, for verily it may not be known, but, in the future, either before or after his death, that Booker T. Washington is the greatest sage of his generation. One thing is certain, people who are ignorant and incompetent, must be relegated to the rear where they justly belong; in the church, societies and in politics. If our people will give as much time and money to securing a home and an education as they do to their "lodges" and their so-called loyalty to the church. these two former mentioned bodies would fare better. Mr. Bailey, of the Railroad and Warehouse department, is of the opinion that all the colored men should not be given what is called, or what is, menial or junior jobs as their share of the political pie or recognition for services rendered. We are with him in this particular complaint. We also think that colored men should aspire for and demand higher places before it is too late. Did you know it does a person, who maliciously, and wantonly refuses to pay his debts more harm than good. It never pays, for here are the reasons: Some one will remark, Mr. So and So, I believe, quite a gentle man. If there are several persons in the crowd, one will say: Yes, but he will not pay his debts; the second will say: he owes me, and the third will say: yes, he owes me, and so on. Thus the man loses confidence. --- THE FORUM Is it really impossible to get our young colored men and women, boys and girls, to read the magazines and the papers? If so, why so? Surely they know that all intelligent races or individuals must read to be current conversationalists—no race or family rises above its literary standing. Show me a person who reads and I will show you a person who thinks and is conversant. Whittier's Birthday. December 17, marks the 100th anniversary of John G. Whittier, Booker T. Washington advises that the colored people hold appropriate services in commemoration of the life of the great New England poet. Whittier can be truly said to have been the abolitionist poet. Remember the day and let us be grateful to the men who stood for the right in days that tried men's souls. What the colored race needs most in business and politics, are men of knowledge, men who are consistent and see further than a "tainted" dollar for their personal; immediate and individual use. All men are not in the world preaching for mere temporal existence, some have the future welfare of their children and their children's children at heart, and have a conscientious duty to perform far more essential than a dirty. ill-gotten dollar from an unsrecupulous miniature politician. Not what is your price, but what is your worth and what is my duty to you as a helper in the furtherance and of the carrying out of these noble principles of a stable sane and equitable government. Excerpts From Mrs. Terrell's Lecture What you might call in a nutshell, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell's lecture was this: To be something and to be respected by other people, colored man, first, respect yourself, get property, homes and culture and education; secondly, learn the trades, establish business and patronize colored people, not because you hate others, but be cause they are forced to. It seems that we should not be forced to air this subject weekly. You see that that is the only way you will amount to anything. Our people may have $75,000, invested here in these nine banks, but do you see a colored clerk or teller in any of them? That is why we advocate the inauguration of bank by colored people. In St. Louis the Germans have a German banks. We also implore our people to concentrate their trade with the white people who advertise. If they were to do that we would have, in time, colored sales ladies in some of the big stores. We also renew our ad vocacy for colored teachers. Why don't you contend for such? Your girls are surely competent—graduating from the same classes with higher honors oftener than their Caucasian classmates. We are asleep—that's the fault. Quit begging and demand what's yours.

Living out in the western suburbs of the city, there lives a young man who is making an emulative record for himself and the race to which he is affiliated. He has a wife and is busied trying to prepare himself and his for the days that are to come. He is the kind of a young man to which the country is calling daily—a man who hustles. He has a poultry farm and is making an independent living—he is buying property and increasing his poultry business. While some of us are asleep he will be in good circumstance. His tame is Giles, and he will be Mr. David Giles ere long. Mr. R. S. Donaldson, residing at 535 W. Canedy street, is a man who we take pleasure in referring you to. He has a beautiful home and has reared a respectable family. He is still striving to continue to elevate himself and others. We like to mention these people; people who have self and home pride emulate them. Woman's Club Notes The Philanthropic Section held a very pleasant session Monday afternoon at the L. C.

C. McClain, A. T Cottman, J. C Bundy, Inez Willis, and Miss Clara Blackwell. Mrs. Terrell expressed herself as having never enjoyed a more pleasant trip as here. The reception at the Home Oct. 23, from 4 to 6 p. m. in honor of Mrs. Terrell, was attended by more than 100 guests, Dr. J. H. Magee with the State House distinguished representative gen- tlemen called in a body at 5 p. m. and paid homage to this noted lecturer. The reception committee deserve great credit for service rendered. Mrs. J. C.

Murff, well known here, who came over to the National Baptist convention at Washington in September, from Cape Town, South Africa, where he has been as a missionary worker, has, since the adjournment of the convention, been traveling over the states in the event of his work. He will sail for Africa about Nov. 15, if reports are true. We hope him success. He appears to be an honest man. "Theou Art Weighed in the Balances and Found Wanting." Is the subject Rev. Manuel, before a packed house last Sunday night at Union church, took; and preached a good sermon. He did not, however, extenuate, nor give the complete chronology, history and geography of that great biblical event. As he noted in the out set, that time had not been sufficient to give the subject justice, but, withal, he made a very good and interesting discourse. Citizens' Meeting. At St. Paul A. M.

Prices: 10 cents, box seats, 25c, 811 E. Washington St. Springfield, Illinois, Don't be Afraid of the Right. If you ministers are afraid to preach the pure "gospel" The Forum is not. We have ministers or, not ministers in the true sense either, who are afraid to speak out to our people those things essential to our political and social advancement. Some do so, others do not do so because they have not sense enough and others afraid it will not be "congenial" to the financial, or as Hogan says, "contribution box." yet these same men read where it says: "Pay no thought of tomorrow or where you will get raiment and food." The Forum needs the money as much as you, but not "one cent for tribute." If we cannot get support for telling the truth and trying to raise the standard of the people, we perish. There are sins of omission as colosal as those of commission. You have no moral right to withhold the truth, when it alone can make you free. In all things, place the moral competent men and women at the head. Competent, does not mean the man who has advanced further in book study—a man may be a linguist and not fit to teach a Sunday school class—'competent' is broad and means a great deal. A goodly number of people here are complaining that our preachers do not speak out on the essentiality of our people buying homes, patronizing colored businesses and encourage others to go into business, also speak a good word for those who are in business, and advise them to trade with our best merchants—those who show their friendship by advertising. Some of our leading men, both at St. Paul and Union churches, make this complaint against the clergy here. We were surprised to find these men cognizant of this fact, we have long since noted it. We always desire to give credit where it is due and have the moral stamina to do so. Rev T. L. Smith of Quincy, does that and did so while here and acted so. He is a progressive minister and when he desired to speak what he thought best politically, he did so, the idiosyncracies of some uninformed and stupid persons to the contrary, notwithstanding. We believe these complainants are, to some extent if not in all, justified in the above complaint. It seems as if we cannot get our clergy as a whole to become cognizant of their real calling. Doing Christian and Humane Alms Mesdames E. L. White, J. C. McChain, C. H. Morgan, J. P. Jones, Eva Monroe, Miss Alcene Wilford, and, be it remembered, others here in Springfield, who go about to raise money for these churches and homes for the infirm, are building monuments and writing their epitaphs there ere they die. Who can be found more worthy than these women? It is not to be questio ed bu that they are sincere and are working gratuitously—tho they were noble if they did get a pittance. Some have large families; what a glorious and efficacious example. You have our encomium and prayer. You shall have not worked so arduously, dear women, in vain. The observant public is noting your excellent deeds, and The Forum desires you know that your names shall be written THE FORUM "The time shall come when unjust laws will be repealed throu out the earth and the first consideration of those who gather to legislate for others will be 'Have we guarded well the rights of those for whom we labor? Have we dealt with them as we would have them deal with us? This will come when Christ is enthroned in the human heart.' Hon. W. T. Vernon, last week at the annual conference. A. M. E. church, St. Louis, Mo. While cotton is selling at the extremely high price of 11 and 12 cents the pound, we implore our friends in the southland, to "make good," and not simply increase their "good times" and jug trade business-buy you some good stock and a few more acres and send your children to school, collegiate and manual training also improve your home life. If everything Negroes do by themselves, is "Jim Crow," as is the logical conclusion drawn from the arguments and propositions of the Boston Guardian, then our churches and even our colored wives, and even The Guardian are "Jim Crows." We congratulate Louisiana on having the nerve to run a Republican for governor. You may shout and yell and invite Teddy down in Dixie or what not and arouse other states to a "sense of duty," but all those things don't move "ole Mississippi and her sister, South Carolina. They are "born in sin and shapen in uniquity." Governor Deneen believes colored men are fit to hold clerical positions. He recognized their ability by appointing a Negro assistant state's attorney of Cook county and has two colored clerks in the Insurance Department, and was the first man to advocate and get a raise in the salary of the janitors and clerks at the capitol. Hon. John J. Brown of Vandalia, is a candidate for Secretary of State, so is Mr. Sterling of Rockford and Hon. Scott Cowan of the Grain Department Chicago. Secretay Rose, it is said, will also be a candidate for reelection. After we learn more of them and what they will say on the vital issues and recognition of all men on merit, we shall be pleased to take a stand as we have for Deneen and Russel. The same is our opinion on other men who will aspire for office. Ex-Senator Mason. Ex-Senator Mason is stronger now than some time ago. He is a man of firm conviction, reliable and honest; if it were not so we would have told you. We do not wish to ever keep on the race question, but they bring that up in every Congress. hence it is a vital question. On that issue, Mason is for the carrying out of the constitutional mandates to the letter, and is. therefore, a safe and sane man. Be for Mason.
