The Forum

THE FORUM Vol. 7, NO. 20. At St. Paul A. M. E. Church. The last quarterly meeting for this conference year was a "Red Letter Day" in the history of the church. The greatest results, the largest collection and congregations and high spirituality prevailed throughout the entire day. Rev. Dr. Cottman, Presiding Elder, officiated in the morning and preached a splendid sermon, scholarly and logical, which pointed to Christ coming up in the glory of His strength, with the Redeemed of the Lord in triumph from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah. Rev. Geo. W. Jones gave us a beautiful sermon at 3 p. m. Theme "The King in His Beauty." At night, Dr. J. H. Magee preached to an interested congregation, whose theme was "The Christian Gladiator," many young people being present who complimented the speaker upon his practical and beautiful sermon. The quarterly report was the best in the history of the church, to wit: Stewards Report .....$320.48 Trustees Report .....700.00 Grand Total .....$1020.48 This speaks well for Rev. T. Price, the excellent pastor of St. Paul, who stands without a peer, as a true and faithful servant of the Lord Jesus. Mss Adelaide Price is manager of a grand musical concert, under the auspices of the young ladies, Thursday evening, Aug. 4th, for the purpose of painting the parsonage. God bless the dear young people for trying to do something "to help along" the work of the Lord. J. H. M. J. H. M. THE LITERARY AND MUSICAL AT MASONIC HALL.

What Jeffries Says of Result "I am not going to do the baby act and cry over this. Of course I feel pretty bad. The people wanted me to come out and fight Johnson and I did my best. I trained harder than any man ever trained before. I thought I had been better than ever. "I did the best I could and was fairly whipped by a great fighter That's about all I have to say. Give Johnson all the credit. It's due him. I had a good chance to win until in the sixth round when he closed my eye tight with a good, hard punch. After that my sight was blurred so badly that I couldn't judge distance or see the punches coming in time to block them or get away. It was a fair fight all the way. I got a good punch on the jaw and I'm satisfied that I was fairly beat en. That's about all."—N, Y, Age. The Fight Pictures The Associated Press as well as a few of the head officials of the different cities of the country are putting themselves on record protesting against the Johnson-Jeffries moving picture shows of the recent fight. They claim that it will incite race prejudice. Well may be it will but Negroes have been at this fight business a long time and have gotten along O K. It seems they are the ones who are trying to fan the flame of discord. Wonder where these sensational mayors were when the Clansman was being exhibited over the country to their delight. This play was founded upon prejudice and race haired.—Kentucky Reporter. Dead, Yet Alive Leroy Percy and Mr. Alexander of Mississippi are two Democrats, running for U. S. Senator, long term, in that state, and as usual, one or both of them are making their race hararguing on the race question; yet the Negro in that state is not in politics so factor is concerned. There is no Republican opponent. If all the Negroes were to leave Mississippi the white Democrats would make their campaigns on white supremacy and why the Negro should not vote, etc. If it were not for the colored people, the Southern politician would be like Bryan, without an issue, and with nothing to write on. So the Negro though dead, is made "alive" in the campaigns, and therefore, though without the ballot, is a political factor. Two More Atrocious Murders. "The evil which men do live after them—the good is oft interred with their bones." So it is with the riot, which occurred in Springfield Aug. 14 17, 1908 The papers attempted to justify it by saying "the best citizens were infuriated" because of the arouciousness of the crimes or the alleged crimes. No doubt Joe James gave his life as a ransom for a crime he did not commit. Time will tell. The direct cause for the great riot was an ignis fatuus and the person on whom the rape was alleged to have been proved to be the reverse to what the papers said she was Friday morning, July 14. 1908, yet the same papers never did tell the truth and correct their errors in the entirely. You see the evil begets evil and truth crushed to earth shall rise again. We do not pride in calling up these past unpleasantnesses, but somebody must tell the truth and also both sides of the thing. Last Friday evening in this city a woman went to one Mr. O. Connor's residence, and seeing Mr. O'Connor nursing his babe, shot the man, alleging that he had made improper proposals to her, committing murder in the first degree. On July 17 another white man and woman were arrested, charged with killing a girl by criminal operation. Are we any worse? Are we inferior?

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 arrive 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 visit, ed this season the management wa unable to provide room for its patrons. We are carrying a choice line of hats suitable for all occasions, with prices to suit the hard times and the high cost for foodstuffs. We trim hats to your taste. Call and see our supply. MRS.

Let everybody go out to the Park and spend the day and evening In the afternoon speaking will be held upon the grounds. The following well known orators have been invited: 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. Ex-Governor Richard Yates, Dr. J. H. Magee, Capt. R. A. Byrd, Dr, A. H. Kennibrew of Jacksonville All sorts of out door amusements will be indulged in. At night Moving Picturres will be exhibited upon the grounds free of charge. 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.

WILLIAMS' BLDG. 11th and Washington Sts. My Journey to Bloomington Several days ago I visited the city of Bloomington on business for the Forum, and found it a most beautiful place. I arrived there at noon and satisfied my wonderful appetite at Sander's Restaurant. One of the most striking and desirable places I have ever seen was the factory owned and operated by George Hoagland. I went to this factory and took occasion to go through it and asked several questions while going through. I first met Mrs, Hoagland, who shows the very appearance of a wife of the man who has some mighty things stored in his mind. I then went into the office, where I met Miss Hoagland who although very busy, stopped long enough to learn my name and answer a few of my questions relative to the business. She informed me that the firm had shipped goods to every state in the Union and to many foreign countries, including England. I took a slight view of Miss Hoagland's manner of keeping books, and I say that in all my life I have never seen a more perfect set of books. The book keeper had a business conversation all the time I was around and at no time did she mention politics or anything else while in the office of her father. I then went into the factory proper and met Mr. Hoagland, who was overseeing the whole affair, keeping everyone busy. I found that he was employing 3 men and 5 girls, and he said that at times he had to use a great deal more than that. I feel that it would be out of place for me to close this message without expressing my feelings on what I think of that man and his accomplishments. I am told by reliable persons that upwards of 25 are already employed by Mr. Hoagland and the business is increasing every day, which speaks well for him and the race to which he belongs. I came home determined to have Hoagland's Oil of Gladness put in the house, but found that it had been used by my people over a year—I found that I had helped Mr. Hoagland build up that enormous business in the city of Bloomington.

This is right,especially when the caucus is right. Election Judges Are Indicted The Sangamon County Grand jury returned indictments against 13 Park Board election judges, who are charged with violating the election laws May 17. Grand Lodge of Pythian Knights Conveneat Peoria The State Grand Lodge of Pythians assembled at Peoria July 5.67 in annual convention. This is the grandest fraternal organization in this state among colored people, and from the annual reports of the officers it is obvious that much good issues from the order. Peoria is quite a city and has some very beautiful buildings. The warm weather prevented the delegates from seeing much of the city. Tuesday evening 33 members were initiated into the Grand Lodge, 5 of whom were from Springfield, H. H. Pettitt, J. H. White, H. Salle, E. L. Rogers and C. L. Stevenson. On Wednesday we heard the report of committees and the eloquent address of Dr. Wesley. The various committees made good reports and the annual report on finance showed that nearly $20,000 had been received during the year, and about $7000 or $8000 had been paid out in the various departments, leaving a balance on hand of about $12000 $5000 of this sum is invested in bonds bearing about 4 per cent interest. The management of the affair is creditable and due appreciation of our grand officers is not withheld. The same grand officers were elected except Grand InnerGuard this being filled by J. H. Johnson of Springfield. The next grand session will convene in East Saint Louis, Ill.
