Osby, Associate Editor. EDITORIAL Saturday. August 13, 1910 Mrs. W. H. Council of Normal. Ala., wife of the late President, W. H. Council is dead. One Mr. James, a white man of this city was incarcerated in the jail last week, charged with raping his step-daughter. These crimes are not peculiarly Negro crimes. Fake Entertainments It is high time the colored people spurn these fake entertainments put on by irresponsible palavers. These promiscuous misnomers are robberies and the people are warned to beware of them and not permit their children to be led astray and deceived so. It is all right and proper for our people to have recreation and pleasure, but, the right kind. When a Thing is Not A Thing People when they give dances, picnics, etc, should not endeavor to fool the people. They should be careful and not fail to carry out what they advertise. If there is to be speaking by certain men, those men are expected by the public to speak—if there is to be a barbecue, the people expect a barbecue—if there are to be base ball games, the people expect baseball games—if the order and conduct of the people are to be good, the people expect good order and good conduct—if there are to be no disgraceful scenes on the grounds, the people do not look for them, yet such things happen often in Springfield and the people have not yet learned when a thing is not a thing. Or in plain words, they are chasing after the shadow for the real. They seem to be carried away by these ignis fatuuses, or "Fox Fires." It is an outrage to deceive the people and disgrace the community like some of us do here in Springfield. It is high time, though, that we learn who are and who are not capable and reliable when it comes to repre sentation. Anybody can repre sent the race, but how? The fact is, we have too much bad representation. Nota bena. Party Ties It is generally conceded that most colored people are Republicans, and this is true, but like white Republicans and white Democrats, the colored people have sense enough to vote for the best man in spots, be he Democrat, Prohibitionist or Socialist. There are men in all parties who believe in and give justice and right to all men. It would be cruel for the colored men not to reciprocate, regard less of mere party ties. Sixth Ward Republican Club has Rousing Meeting. The Sixth Ward Republican Club met at Jas. 3. Bondman's place, 21st and Kansas sts. last Monday and went into permanent organization. Mr. Leferidge was elected President, Joseph Douglas, Secretary and C. S. Clem, First Vice President. Able speeches were made by several men present. The purpose of the club is to get together the people who stand for principle and good citizenship and vie with each other on the characters and fitnesses of the men for office and to suggest ideas, etc. Also to ask for certain necessary improvements in the Ward. Several arc lamps should be hung crossings laid and sidewalks, etc improved. H. B. Harts H. B. Harts, one of the Republican candidates for Probate Judge, is highly endorsed by his friends and is pre-eminently qualified for the position. All things considered, Mr. Harts is one of the few men who put honesty, integrity and fair play to all, ahead of all else The Forum and the State Administration. Every since 1904 this paper has been a strong and unqualified supporter of the state administration. We have stood as a stone wall and fought relentlessly for what we conceived to be right. We have upheld the administration and the administration's faction when times were hazardous and we feel that we only did our duty, so far as that is concerned, but we also feel that when the occasion presents itself, the reciprocation should not be with-held nor sparingly given. We have not been sparing or stingy with our panygerics, especially when they were deserving. Our policy is to continue to do absolutely honest work as a publicist. We know when justice commensurate with services rendered is meted out. We want the people to know the truth and we always aim to uphold and support men on their merits PAUL L.

The wonderful success which has rewarded the proprietors of this magnuificient attraction this year may be traced to two sources.

In the second place, these Western showmen have bccome converts to the idea of Pp ‘pular prices. Kor the nominal sum of twenty five cents it is possible to see this great attraction in its entirety.

The paper is 61/2 years old—has never missed an issue. We do not graft, but always carry out what we promise. A Hint to Thinking People. Be careful - Remember that care must be taken in the selection as well as in the election of candidates. You should strive to get the best men nominated, because there are many people who simply vote for the nominee, regardless of his fitness and general qualifications. --- We also ask the thinking people to take a second sober thought and patronize the merchants who advertise in this paper. They say thereby that you are invited and that your patronage is wanted and appreciated But that is not all they are helping you. See? --- The same is true politically. Some candidates will advertise in every paper over the county, but fail to give colored papers their announcements, write-ups, etc, and yet desire and expect your vote. We ask you to take note of the candidates whose anouncements you see in The Forum and give them your consideration, inquire into their fitness, etc. The Massacre at Slocum, Texas Most of the reading world has read with sorrow and with indignation of the barbarous manner in which colored men, without provocation, were murdered and driven from their peaceful and insignificant homes in and around a small town called Slocum. The occurrence took place July 30 31. If you took note you found that the daily papers gave accounts of the affair, but failed to write any editorials condemning it, as they did in the Russian Jew slaughter and the Ohio lynchings. The editors, especially here, are mute on cases of this kind. Oh! What a cowardly press. The Forum spoke out in no uncertain tones against the murdering of white men in Ohio and Louisiana with as much vehemence as we did other cases and as strong as we condemn this barbarity. Now you see the need of a courageous press. This Slocum affair, according to the Associated Press, was the most inhuman, the most cruel, and the meanest thing that has occurred in many a day. The trouble is alleged to have originated on account of a dispute between a colored and a white man over a debt, the white man claiming a certain amount to be due and the colored man denying the claim, etc. These are bad things, but one thing is certain: whatsoever men sow they reap. If this barbarous class of whites know anything about history, they know Rome perished and Greece and all the ancient powers fell and walloped and writhed and finally died in the very blood they had spilt. These cowards will see the day when they shall flee from their own shadows and cry for the rocks in the mountains to hide them from the awful perdition which shall be their inevitable portion. This is not superstition nor hoc dooism, but the very law of nature and the prophecy of God. Go read history. The dead are said to be 40 Negroes and 15 whites. But the truth is yet to come. The Sum. A little dreaming by the way, A little toiling day by day, A little pain, a little strife, A little joy—and that is life. A little short-lived summer's morn. When one day's sky is blue above, A little sickening of the years, The tribute of a few hot tears, Two folded hands, the failing breath. And peace at last—and that is death. Just dreaming, loving, dying so, The actors in the drama go— A fitting picture on a wall. Love, death, the themes; but is that all? —Paul Laurence Dunbar. L. L. Flinn for State Senator L. L. Flinn has announced his candidacy for the State Senate from this Senatorial district, which comprises Sangamon and Morgan counties. The announcement of Mr. Flinn for this position puts an impetus on the political sitation as he is Senator Logan Hay's competitor for the nomination. Mr. Flinn is well and favorably known by people all over this county. He has many personal and political friends who will take off their coats and make the strongest fight for the young ex Alderman you ever saw. While Alderman, he was: 1st, a MAN; 2nd, a Republican. He was never known to cringe or to shirk from what he conceived to be right and for the people's best interests Mr. Finn is to make the race on his merits. He never goes back on his friends nor his party principles and pledges. We commend him to you as a staunch Republican and AS A MAN WHO BELIEVES IN JUSTICE AND A SQUARE DEAL TO ALL, REGARD LESS OF CLASS OR POSITION. GEM CAFE 819 E.
