THE FORUM Vol. 7. NO. 19. Republican Candidate for Coun ty Treasurer In another column of this paper appears the announcement of Chas Edmands, Jr., Republican candidate for County Treasurer, of Island Grove Township. Mr. Edmands was born and reared in this city and educated in our Ward and High Schools. After completing his education, he worked in the Ruth hardware store for a number of years and then went into the real estate business. Two years ago he showed his popularity when he ran for As- Charles Edmands, Jr. M. Republican Candidate for County Treasurer sessor and was elected by the largest margin of any other man on the ticket. Recently Mr. Edmands moved on his farm, 12 miles in the country, where he now resides. As a man he stands high and with a spotless character. As a Republican, he is staunch and unswerved by petty thing and notions. Notice Notice is hereby given that on next Thursday at 8 p. m. there will be a special meeting of the members of the Y. M. C A, at the Gem Cafe, 819 E. Washington street for the purpose of auditing the accounts of the June campaign, to hear and receive some resignations and elect some new members to the Board. B H BELLAMY, President. "Be ye doers and not sayers only." SPRINGFIELD, ILL., SATURDAY JULY Political Situation in This County Every now and then a new name is added to the long list of candidates for office in this county and this senatorial district. That the race will be a fierce one goes without argument. We are pleased to see that most of the men are reputable men who believe in a square deal. Springfield, the capital of this great state, has a large colored population, who vote is a potential factor for the party or persons receiving it nearly solid, or solid. These colored people are preparing to do some yeomen political work this fail and land safe the men who are on the square and are willing to do something for them. We are demanding political reciprocation and must have it; we are d manding a fair and impartial hearing on all questions affecting our moral civil, industrial and political status, and we must have it. The office for state senator is creating quite a stir. Senator Hay is a candidate for re election Mr. Hay filled the place with credit and if he can harmonize his constituents and get a good colored vote his chances are not perilous, but on the contrary, if he fails to get such co operation and fails to get an understanding and does not extend general amnesty to his belligerents, his fate is defeat. He is not a bad man for the place and was highly recognized by the Governor on important committees, but there appears to be a general antipathy among the voters for Mr. Hay. We think that if the people understood him and were shown that he is "on the square," the whole plainaux would fall in line for him L. L. Flinn is mentioned as a proposed candidate for the Senate and Mayor Bancroft of Jacksonville is already out. We intend to make a strong fight for party purity and for the men who believe in giving recognition proportionately to all people according to services rendered and ability, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude.

The President, Bishop Osborne and his personal friends are trying to make this school a success and we hope they will succeed. Too much good cannot be said about them, and they will have our hearty support if they are in position to see that all concerned will get "a square deal." But we regret very much to say that the principal of this school seems to act different in some respects other than "a square deal." and it is for him to say why this is the case. Can he expect the school to be a success through his method of doing things? We will not accept any excuse whatever for the way he treated Miss Ella Porter. This incident will be explained to the public in the near future. Peoria Notes The Grand Lodge K. P. met in Peoria July 5-6 7 and were highly entertained.

Osby, Associate Editor. EDITORIAL Saturday, July 16, 1910 Young colored men should not sit around and argue the Johnson victory, how much money Johnson has, etc. That will do you no good. Go to work and keep quiet, Johnson won the fight because of his energy, science and deportment—not by arguing and loafing. An idle shiftless, ignorant man is not good for anything. Jack Johnson, the best known and most talked of man in the world at present, is to be commended for the charitable disposition he has, and further, for the affection he has for his mother and other relatives and friends. He purchased his mother an automobile for her own comfort and convenience, and has deposited $100,000 in a Chicago bank. We advise Mr. Johnson, if he will pardon us, to invest in bonds and real estate, and make his name not only famous in pugilism, but also on Wall St. White Man Lynched in Rayville, La Rayville, Louisiana, is the name of a small town that may boast of lynching a man on July 9th. This fellow had killed a man, had been tried and condemned, and had taken an appeal to a higher tribunal (a right every citizen has) and for so doing, the mob battered down the jail doors. and lynched the poor fellow. What do you think of this for a highly civilized race? Is mob worse than prize fighting? We pause for an answer. Women's Clubs The steps taken by the women's clubs of the city to increase the attendance in the Sunday school is a move that should receive the approval of all the people. Any boy or girl, man or woman for that matter, is better off in Sabbath school on Sunday morning than they are on street corners. It is a happy thought to know that our women are doing real work in their club meetings, and that they are not wasting their time in idle gossip. There is so much needed to be done. So many, young and old, who need to be encouraged and enlighten. ed that there is no time to spend in idleness.—Nashville Globe. We hope the same enconnium can be applied to our Women's clubs here. The Lynching in Newark, O. The overthrow of the law in Ohio last week by citizens of Newark, and the reign of mob violence is deplorable. We condemn this outrage with as much vehement when the victim is a white man as we do when the victim is a negro. It is just as outrageous, just as inexcusable, just as unwarranted. The dethronement of law and the enthronement of the mob is an awful thing. We have laws for every crime and if we cannot stop the mob, it will stop organized government, and the Declaration of Independence will prove a failure and all the work of Patrick Henry, Geo. Washington, Lafayette, Jefferson and Hamilton will be in vain, and England's claim that the colonists are not, and were not, capable of self government will prove true. There is no alternative. This government could not live half free and half slave, and it cannot live half mob and half civilized, or half mob law and half organized civil government. The Rapid Rise of Pugilism. Twenty years ago, prize fighting was looked upon with the same degree of abhorrence as bull fighting in Mexico is looked upon. The general public paid little attention to that sport. The press gav little space to the unseemly sport. But on came Sullivan, Peter Jackson, Corbett, Sharkey, Fitzsimmons, Jeffries, Burns and Johnson. When the climax was reached and when never before in our history, was so much attention given to the sport, it was looked upon as a great test of racial superiority, not so, merely a test of athletic superiority between Johnson and Jeffries, and a money-making proposition, such as horse racing, That Johnson is an extraordinary man in pugilism, goes without saying. Smalley Preaches An Able Sermon. Rev, J. M. Smalley preached an able sermon last Sunday evening at Grace church, choosing for his subject, "The Comforter." The president of Geo. R. Smith College, Sedalia, Mo. will be at Grace Sunday. On July 31st Dr. Gillum, one of the ablest pulpit orators of this section, will be here. The Curfew ordinance is a timely thing.

SO-CALLED OCTOPUS AND INDEPENDENTS FIGHTING The People—Not the Circus—Benefit While the Cruel Circus War Lasts On August 25th the great Sells- Floto Shows with all their magnificent paraphernalia and extra added attractions. will arise in this city for a one day engagement. Every one conversant with the happenings of the amusement world are aware of the wonderful success which has crowned the triumphal tour of the Sells-Floto circus this season. While the circus proper has been enlarged and comes back to us more magnificient than ever before, the price of admission has been cut in half. A great circus war is raging between certain combined circuses on one side and the independent Sells-Floto people on the other. The latter are carrying the battle to their opponents and the people are benefiting thereby. That the move has been a popular one is attested to by the fact that in every big city visited this season the management was unable to provide room for its patrons. Rev. Jamison preached an able sermon at St. Paul's Sunday evening. Mrs. Victoria Johnson solicited the largest amount of money in the St. Paul's Stewardess contest and received a very handsome gold ring. Mrs. J.M. Mosby is visiting her sister in Quincy and father in Shelbina, Mo. --- --- The Circus War Gears Not in any Circus Trust The Storm Center of Circus Octopus Warfare May Occur in Your City as No Time or Place Has Been Too Sacred. Having broken all records in the big cities of the coast, which includes San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and Vancouver the great Sells-Floto Shows come to Springfield for one days engagement on August 25th. The wonderful success which has rewarded the proprietors of this magnificent attraction this year may be traced to two sources. In the first place, the character of the performance given is such as to return full values for the money. In the second place, these Western showmen have become converts to the idea of popular prices. For the nominal sum of twenty-five cents it is possible to see this great attraction in its entirety. This is something which has never before been attempted in the history of the big shows, and the results have more than proved the truth of an argument in its favor.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT. For Sheriff—The Forum is authorized to announce Charles E. Tandy a candidate for Sheriff of Macon county, subject to the action of the Republican primaries, Sept. 15, 1910. Miss Alice Johnson is visiting her parents in Bloomington this week. The dance given by Monte and Hurley at Dreamland Park was a success despite the threatening weather. More than 200 were in attendance. W. H Robinson and wife of Monticello have returned to Decatur to live. You will notice in this issue that Chas, E. Tandy has announc ed himself as candidate for sheriff of Macon county. We can say for Mr. Tandy that he has made a splendid record as Co. Treasur er and stands high in the Republican ranks You will make no mistake in voting for him. Chas. Browner, who fell from a wagon on July 4th and dislocated his shoulder, is again able to be out. A diamond ring has been presented to a Decatur girl by a young Bloomington man. When is it to be? Joseph Ascey and Everett Anthony of Springfield attended the dance in Decatur last Monday. W. C. Casey of Bloomington has organized the 'Buffalo Social Club' here. The club has 5 neatly furnished rooms. In the front room is a pool table, with seats for those who wish to look on. The reception room is neat, with writing desk and table for games, that all who join may enjoy themselves. This club is regularly organized with state charter, and has adopted strict regulations and by laws. Only those who are worthy can become members of this club. There is no gambling or betting of any kind allowed. It has subscribed for several colored papers and other literature for the reading room. A first class barber shop will be connected with the club, which is needed very badly in Decatur. The club, under the present conditions, is a credit to the young men of Decatur, and it is hoped that the rules and regulations will be enforced. It will have the support of the best citizens of Decatur. They are located at 144 Merchant street and have the Bell phone. The officers' cuts will appear in our mid-summer edition next month. Look out for them. William Walters returned from Denver last Sunday where he went to bring his sister home, who was sick. This is the first time they have seen each other for 15 years. Mrs. Ed Motley became ill Friday and went to Petersburg for treatment, where she will remain for 3 weeks. Lincoln News. Rev. W. L. Anderson, the G. W. D. G. of the Western Division of True Reformer will preach the annual sermon of the Lincoln Flash Light Fountain No. 2787 of the G. U. O. of True Reformers in Lincoln on the first Sunday in August at the Second Baptist church on Broadway at 2 p. m. All members of the Fountain are requested to meet at the Hall at 1 p. m. sharp so as to march in a body to the church. We extend an invitation to the public to come and hear this man of note.

Johnson-Jeffries Moving Pictures Vs.the Clansman Johnson-Jeffries Moving Pictures Vs.the Clansman While we are not enamored of prize fighting, and do not care, personally, whether or not any state permits moving pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries, it is amusing to see how quickly the powers exert themselves to stop a "nuisance" when the shoe pinches the other fellows' foot, or rather when it is the reverse to that of the."Clansman," J. K. Vardaman and Ben Tillman. They claim that it will create trouble between the races. How absurd. The same people claim that they have no power to stop such plays as the Clansman, and such lecturers as Thomas Dixon and Jas. K. Vardaman and B. R. Tillman, whose lectures are the most inflammatory and poisonous that were ever forced on the people. These men have no other object in view than to create race hatred, while the fight pictures are simply a reproduction of a legitimate athletic combat between 2 men, carried out in order, just like a football game, baseball or yacht race. See how flexible our laws can be made. We have no desire to see the pictures and do not think prize fighting is a think to be tolerated, but we simply call your attention to the inconsistency of the people. Surely, if the fight reproduced is likely to create friction, the Clansman and Vardaman and Tillman will do so. Think it over. Women's Club Notes The Home Culture Section held a profitable meeting with Mrs. Julia Foree Monday afternoon. The Home Culture Section will not meet again until September. The July meeting of the General Club will be held next Monday with Mrs. Roie Hunter.

Mesdames Mosby and Smith Entertain Mesdames J. M. Mosby and E. B. Smith entertained in honor of Mrs. Hudson of Chicago, Monday evening July 4th at Mrs Mosby's, 1107 E. Jefferson, ice cream and cake being served as refreshments. Those present were: Mesdames and Messrs F. R. Wilkins, A. M. Williams, Jas. Adams, B. H. Lucas, J. M. Mosby, E. B. Smith and S A. Ware. Mrs. Ethel Mathis, Capt. R. A. Byrd and Prof. Tutt of Washington. Mrs. Ella Bell of 824 S. 15th Street is up again after 4 weeks illness. Her many friends are glad to learn of her being on the road to recovery. Mothers, Do Not Let your Children grow Up Helpless Mothers, spoil your children if you must, but don't make your children helpless. The boy or girl with a peevish, selfish disposition can get along in this world if the helpless one never can. Teach your girls to make their own dresses. Don't let patterns be a mystery to them or the sewing machine an instrument of torture because badly run. When the cook leaves in a hurry, if your daughter ha snot learned to get breakfast she will be at a sad disadvantage. The woman who cannot cook is indeed a slave to her servants. Teach your son to sew his own buttons on and to look after his own things. There is no reason why a boy should be clumsy or disorderly except that a foolish mother allows him to grow up that way. Begin early. Teach the littlest tots to take care of themselves, to wash their things. The woman who if unassisted would be helpless is indeed a slave, while she who can do all things for herself is to be envied because she is truly independent. Another thing—don't do the thinking for your children. Teach them to reach the right conclusions by themselves—Record. Quarterly Meeting at St. Paul Church There will be Quarterly Meeting at St. Paul's A. M, E, church Sunday July 17th. Rev. Dr. E. T. Cottman will have charge, assisted by the city pastors. Rev.
