THE FORUM Vol. 7, NO. 21. Love's Sweet Sister. Thank God for Love's sweet sister, Tenderness!— The gentle watcher in the wakeful night, When pain, mysterious and measureless, Strikes quivering chords of an guish and affright; The mate of little children and the friend Of all the patient, dear dumb beasts that are; The priestess of the faithful to the end, The white-souled lady of the Morning Star; The second self of mothers seeing deep Into the holiness of souls new-born. The shrine where sinfulness and judgment reap The measures of fulfillment free from scorn. Sweet, softly sandaled saint, abide with me! Without thee Love were less than Love should be! —By Marie Hemstreet in The Outlook. At Tuesday's primary each voter should be prepared to fill intelligently the blank space left for ward committeeman. Doubtful timber in its committees may cripple and beat a party, or even betray it into the hands of the opposition. — St, Louis Globe Democrat. The same is true here in Springfield. Mattoon News.

Osby, Associate Editor. Hamann, The Printer 3051 So. 6th St. EDITORIAL Saturday. August 6. 1910 We need an honest, upright, capable man for State Treasurer. "Let floods of penitential grief (not penitentiary) burst forth from every eye." We need an able, experienced man who likes the work for State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion. Mr. Blair is apparently the best man for the place. L L. Flinn, ex Alderman from the Fifth Ward, is a candidate for the State Senate. Mr. Flinn is considered a very capable, approachable and an upright citizen. While Alderman from the Fifth he made an enviable record. His candidacy will be given due consideration. If the "regulars" want you to be for them, all they have to do is to be for you. We do not mean that all they have to do is purchase you—we do not believe in a purchasable ballot. What we do want is adequate recogniton and consideration from the "regulars." It must not be presumed that the colored vote will be for you simply because you are allied with a certain party or a certain faction of a certain party. We are waiting to see who are for the right and what your policies are before we are prepared to endorse you for anything. NOTICE DO NOT FAIL to get in our midsummer edition. Ads in the Forum brings results and that is what you want. We are running on our own merits. You people, and not us, are to be the judges. We are out regularly every Saturday and go in every corner of the city. We feel that the people get value received whey advertise with us. You know cream from sour milk, you are not fools. We want your assistance and can assist you. --- Of the 55,000 enumerators employed in gathering population statistics for the thirteenth census, 1605 were negroes. Of these 1295 were in the southern states. Secretary Nagel states he had not heard a complaint about their work. Figures are not available to show the increase in the number of negro enumerators for the thirteenth census over those employed in the census taken ten years ago. South Carolina alone had 131 colored enumerators, while ten years ago it had none American Baptist. Mr. Bowen Honored A. L. Bowen, city editor of the Evening News, has been made executive Secretary of the Board of Charities, office at the State House, succeeding Mr. Graves, who resigned a few months ago. Mr. Bowen is qualified and no doubt deserves the honor. We like to see men who have stood up and proclaimed political right eousness, taken care of. We hope some colored men, who are representative, will be considered from this county. What we Want For the past 5 years and 2 years respectively, St. Paul and St. John A. M.E, churches have had creditable pastors—men of some intelligence and business acumen men whose moral characters and general reputation stand unimpeached. Now,it is very probable that we may lose these men. The St. Paul's shepherd has served the maximum number of years (5) while St. John's has only served 2, but you can not foretell what the Conference may do. But if these men are removed, we are entitled to men as good and as able at least, as they are. Dr. Cottman and Bishop Shaffer we believe will see to it that Springffeld has able, intellectual as well as moral men. We can not afford to have any other kind. There is too great a cloud of "witnesses" here suffering and starving for the real thing—the gospel. A goodly number of people talk about a "gospel preacher" and do not know what gospel means. We need men who can and will teach us. We want to know something. We are dying for the real truth and how can these men tell us something that they do not know. We are not speaking of all of this noise some people put up and excite the people. The Negroes need to be taught how to live and they will surely die all right. We need also to be taught of the glories obtained as a reward for our services rendered here, for if a person does not believe that he is to be remunerated for doing a thing, he does not feel disposed to do it. This same admonition applies to other churches here.

Gear The Circus War 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 visit ed this season the management wa unable to provide room for its patrons. Millinery.

MATTIE TUCKER, 206 N. Fourteenth Street Gear 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.

Announce Judge Murray Of His Candidacy for Re-nomination for County Judge of Sangamon County, Subject to Decision of Democratic Primary JOHN H. HARRIS Elsewhere in this issue of the Forum appears formal announcement by County Judge, George W. Murray of his candidacy for re-nomination, subject to the deeision of the democratic primary, September 15, 1910. So well and favorably known is Judge Murray no introduction is necessary. A resident of Singamon county since 1874, he has been identified with every movement for the general improvement of the city and county. In 1890 he was first elected County Judge, and with the exception of four years has served in that capacity efficiently honestly and well since that time. In 1890 when he was first a candidate for County Judge he was elected by a majority of 600. In 1898 his majority was 800, increasing to 1,600 in 1902, and again almost doubling to 2,500 in 1906, running over one SECRET SOCIETIES Central Lodge No. 3, A. F. and A. M.

During his work as Judge of the Juvenile Court over sixteen hundred children have appeared before him 459 of which number were girls. Hundreds and hundreds of these little ones, many of whom were gathered from the gutter have received the fatherly advice and teachings of the Juvenile Court. Judge Murray has been identified with the birth, struggles and success of the Lincoln Colored home in a direct and helpful way for the past 15 years or since the time of its birth and similar benevolent institutions, and it is or should be the pride and pleasure of everybody to call attention to these generous deeds. He stands high and well among his constituents and considers it his duty to mete out justice to all. We call you attention to his record as a necessary requisite for fitness and ability to fill the office. The Rochester item, speaking of Judge Murray's candidacy, says: "Judge Murray has discharged the many duties of his office in a fair and impartial manner and has given general satisfaction to all. He has been judge for all the people, and given especial attention to children who needed attention in the court. He is a gentleman of the greatest ability and highest integrity, and no man has the esteem of the people in a higher degree than he." The Pleasant Plains Weeekly Press in a lengthy endorsement of Judge Murray, says in part: "Judge Murray has become famed all over the state for the fair and impartial manner in which he metes out justice. No class or clique can influence him. His work in the juvenile court, which comes under his jurisdiction, has done more for the homeless and penniless children than any man in the state. We are glad to hear that he had again consented to make the race and we prophesy his re-nomination and re-election." Liberian Problem Solved. Through the medium of the State Department at Washington arrangements have been perfect ed by which the Liberian Gov ernment is to receive a loan of $1,500,000 from American bank ers. This will not only give Liberia enough money to refund its national debt, but will also leave $250,000 to be used in financing the country. For this magnificent result credit is due to President Taft, to Secretary P. C. Knox, as well as to former President Roosevelt's administration, and, of course, especial credit is due the recent commission which went to Liberia, studied conditions and made the recommendations in regard to financing the country. These recommendations the State Department has followed. President Taft and his administration deserve the deep gratitude of all who are interested in the preservation of the territorial integrity and national entity of the little republic New York Age. The reports are current as to the favorable conditions of corn, wheat and oats. In fact, the prospects are that the entire yield will be abundant this year. This, we hope, is absolutely true. Food stuffs are so high that living is a burden upon the average citizen. With a large supply of corn, wheat and oats, chickens etc will be reduced, or should be, within the reach of the common people. Some of the jackpotters have succeeded in getting their names at the top of the ticket in their respective districts. That ought to hurt rather than help them. It should make it that much easier for the voters to find their names, so as not to vote for them. —Register. Deneen May Be Candidate For Governor The general concensus of opinion is that Gov. Deneen will be a candidate for the highest office in the state for the third term, thus breaking all previous records. If he does, he will be elected, as he is said to be the strongest man in the state today. Most of his bitterest opponents are involved in the Legislative bribery and their power and integrity have been lessened 50 percent. Furthermore, Gov. Deneen is a constructive statesman and not a legislative obstructionist. He has proven himself a broad minded man and a defender and upheld the law, both in spirit end in letter. He has labored assiduously for the people's general interest and has had freight rates and passenger rates reduced on common carriers. His administrations have been open and he has been on the job for 6 years. His movements are watched with hawk eyes. Political Clubs Every one half dozen of colored men in the various wards, we fear, will for the next five weeks organize clubs and become political factors. We fear these men are political impostors and moral renegades, seeking to deceive the people and rob the office seekers. Political clubs which stand for something and whose leaders are not grafters and palaveris, are essential, no matter by whom they are organized and led, but otherwise they are a curse and an abomination to the community. Beware of them and their heads! Knowing what we do of things historical, we hold these truths to be self-evident, and defy a logical and truthful contradiction, without reference to any individual or club. It is high time the people knew that "all that glitters is not gold," especially during these campaign days. We are glad to say, however, that the Fourth and Sixth Wards have representative clubs, whose aim and objects are commendable and the men at the head are good citizens Rev Bloodworth's Farewell Sermon. Last Monday evening at Pleasant Grove Baptist church, 18th and Casssts, occurred the farewell services. Rev. D. W. Blood worth, who has endeared himself with his congregation and the people in general, has been here 3 years, and judging by the demonstration accorded him, his work has not been in vain, and his stay here has been an asset to the community. The church was crowded and Rev. Bloodworth preached a good sermon. The Ministerial Alliance turned out in a body, After Rev. Bloodworth had finished his sermon, short talks of commendation were made by several prominent persons. On behalf of the deacons H.B.Hughes and S.J. Williams paid a glowing tribute to the departing pastor, and on behalf of the church T.W. Warrick read a very creditable resolution. Many tokens of esteem were given. An offering of $10.60 was made.
