York to Give Piano Recital W. H. York, one of our most amiable young men, is to give a piano recital supplemented by other numbers from local talent. He will also defend the affirmative in a debate, "Resolved, that the enslaved in the United States 1619 1865 was a blessing rather than a curse," while B. H. Bellamy will uphold the negative. This recital and program is given for the benefit of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. of Wilberforce University and will take place at Masonic Hall August 30. It promises to be a rare treat. MORTUARY. MRS. BIRDSONG The monster death knocked at the door of O. G. Birdsong and when admitted at 5:30 a.m. Monday, August 15th, bore away on the wings of death his beloved wife, Mrs. Fannie Maud Birdsong, aged 30 years. She is survived by her husband, O. G. Birdsong, 3 sons and 2 daughters of this city, her parents John Harper and wife of Omstead. One brother, Edw. Five sisters. Mrs. Lena Hogan and Katie Harper of this city, Mrs. Oweal of Mound City and the Misses Bessie and Myra Harper. Her beloved husband, in his sad bereavement, has the heartfelt sympathy of all good people. He proved to be an ideal husband, as he fought heroically for the life of his wife (to whom he was much devoted) to the bitter end. Mesdames Spiller and Fero are visiting friends in Indiana. C.F. White arrived here last week from the University of Pennsylvania, where he has been attending school. "Be ye doers and not sayers only." Old Settlers' Picnic The Old Settlers enjoyed their annual picnic at Irwin's Park last Thursday. Mrs. Louisa Blakeman N. 2nd St. entertained Chicago guests Friday evening. Mrs. Blakeman served a unique four o'clock dinner. MATTOON NEWS Sunday. August 14th will be a day long remembered at Davis' chapel God's Spirit was with us all day. In the afternoon about thirty-five communed one person was baptized and one read in the church. Rev. Cottman, presiding elder delivered able sermons at each service. The afternoon service was an old time meeting and the shaking of hands. The collection excelled any of the preceding quarterly meetings. May God's blessing be with Rev. Cooper for his earnest work and be with us again next year. Mrs. Arthur Portee and daughter Ona of Charleston and guest Miss Leta Stokes of Danville spent Sunday in the city, the guests of Misses Iva and Zetta Smith. Mrs. Mary Scott is impruning nicely after a few weeks illness. Be ready for the annual S. S. picnic on Labor Day. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Portee of Charleston and their guest Miss Jennie Portee of Shawneesown attended the quarterly meeting Sunday. The lawn social given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Woodfork was quite a success. Grand Master George Jesse was in Danville Thursday. Don't forget Thursday, August 25, the Fair and musical at David's chapel. Miss Izetta Smith returned Sunday from Danville. Mrs. Eiza Denning of Brookport passed through the city enroute to Indianapolis. Mrs. M. M Nickens has returned home from Boston, Miss. Mrs. Howard Brown and children of Charleston spent Sunday with Rev. and Mrs. Wm Lee. Mrs. Asque of Charlesoon was a Sunday caller. City Locals According to reports the session of the U. B. F. and S, M. T.'s was a grand success in Peoria last week. Tomorrow at 7:30 p. m. before the R. Y. P. U. at Zion Baptist church E. L. Rogers will read a short paper, subject, "Christianity, What is it?" Mrs. Clark, a lady minister of the gospel from Missouai preached at Grace M. E. Church last Sunday and Tuesday evenings. Rev. J. M. Smalley, wife and Miss Alice Giles left this week for Clarksville, Mo., to attend the M. E. district conference. First Ward Committeemen. There seems to be a general skirmish for Precinct Committee man in the Second Precinct of the First Ward, the famous "black belt." To our knowledge there are 5 candidates. Conspicuous and well known among this galaxy of politicians is Attorney Chas. S.Gibbs. Mr.Gibbs made the race two years ago against Wm. Burton, who was elected. In the Sixth Ward it is very likely that in the Fourth and Fifth Precincts there will be colored men out for the places, especially in the Fourth, another "black belt." We commend these precincts and advise the colored men to a spire for these places and let the capable men take the initiative. This is going to be an eventful campaign. L. L. FLINN. Lawrence L. Flinn, a young man of sterling qualities a stanch Republican and a man of unstinted moral character is out for State Senator from this, the 45th Senatorial District, comprising the county of Sangamon and Morgan, Mr. Flinn served 3 years as Alderman from the Fifth Ward and left at a time when the peo- [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. Lawrence L. Flinn. Republican Candidate For State Senate from Forty-fifth Senatorial District. ple wanted his services continued—the highest testimonial of a man's popularity and fitness for public service. He showed, while Alderman, what manner of man he is, and by his stand taken on the various public questions, emplanted into the people implicit confidence in as being not only a true and stanch Republican, but a fit man to represent his constituents. When a man "makes good" and is lauded and admired for what he did at one time, it stands to reason as a logical consequence, that, were he similarly placed in another public trust, like results would be obtained. Therefore, the Republican voters and the people in general, may feel that Mr. Flinn is preeminently capable of, and will, if nominated and elected, make a good and able Senator. Mr. Flinn is a married man and resides at 1130 South Seventh Street. This is a position where the man is, in every sense of the word, the true representative of the people; there are many things and much attention to be given the constituents. Mr. Flinn is an affable, brave courteous young man, who never shrinks from duty and always stands by his friends. In this primary election he is running on his own merits. He is allied with no clique nor clan—simply trying, honorably and fairly to be nominated as is his privilege and prerogative. We commend him to the voters and especially our readers and ask for him your consideration. Buffalo News. James Watts, of Buffalo, Ill., entertained a number of guests at the residence of his parents Mr. and Mrs. Charles Watts Sat. Aug. 13th, in honor of his 19th birthday.

Rogers, Editor and Manager. J. B. Osby, Associate Editor. EDITORIAL Saturday, August 20, 1910 Political monstrosities should be felled as soon as they appear in the arena. We beg leave to ask The Register, "When did the Democrats become semi protectionist? What's the matter with August? Wasn't the weather warm enough in July to thaw out the ground? One crying need among our people is business sense. That is sense enough to do business. Sense Sense In every body of colored men, from the church down to a social club, sense is wanting. We consume too much time over "parliamentary" usages. What does the average man know about parliamentarism? Eliminate the technicalities and let us do business. Misrepresentation of Celebrations We desire to denounce these so called celebrations of the Emancipation Proclamation held over the country at all periods and put on by people who are seeking self aggrandizement. The people have rights that even the fakir should respect We advise the public to be not deceived by these impostors on the regular day that we celebrate. Of course, any one has the right to give something and style it a "celebration," but no one has a right to fake the people and fool them to a place and not give them what they pay for. Such is receiving money under false pretenses and the persons guilty of such practices are liable, according to the statutory laws of our state. It appears that the public has been decieved on several occasions here by men who advertised things that they never had, and apparently, never intended to have. The people are not able to pay out their hard earned dimes for things which appear to be but are not. Farming and Gardening are Steadily Gaining Prominence. We note with pleasure the fact that colored people have turned more attention to farming, truck gardening and horticulture This is a good sign. What we need in the North is more farmers, in the South we need skilled farmers, more scientific farmers. The claim that the Negro should not come North because of the unique labor problem is erroneous. We need thousands of Negros here in this county from Mississippi. Arkansas, Texas Louisiana and Alabama. We do not advise them to come to the city, but we implore them to come here and farm, raise chickens, etc. We also need more of the industrious Southern colored men to come here and open up businesses We have only one or two blacksmith shops, not one dry goods or drug store, only one small shoe store and one half enough groceries. So do not feel that this is not a good place to live, for it is the best city on the face of the globe, despite our little unpleasantness a few years ago. Recognition A man should not be forced to beg for recognition when he deserves it from his conduct and services rendered the community in which he lives. As a general rule people get recognition when they really deserve it, but there are exceptions to the rule. Business Men and Farmers Wanted. Colored farmers and experienced business men from the South to come to this part of Illinois to live. Our soil is rich, winters are long but mild, hogs and chickens are as profitable as cotton raising. School facilities are good, laws are congenial, the races get along amicably together, a man is recognized on his worth, there is no infringement of political suffrage—all a man has to do is to be a man and live a decent life, attend to his own business, save his money, start a bank account and white as well as colored people, will respect you. From the Head To The Heart. Those of the heavenly host who sat in the pews at St. Paul's A. M. E. church last Sunday, listened to one of the most in spiring and spiritual sermons ever delivered by one of Christ's disciples. The message which Rev. Price brought his flock was so spiritual, powerful and beautiful in its rendition that it had the assurance of leaving earth and started toward heaven. Goodness and mercy is so instilled in the pastor's life that those who belong to Satan's host can't stand the pure atmosphere and whole some inspiration so they flee from the sanctuary with all manner of idolatrous excuses, PAUL L.

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. The streets of Decatur are perfectly beautiful, since they are cleaned every evening, and when the flusher comes, Decatur streets will shine as they never shone before. The Buffalo Club, which was organized about a month ago, was accused of selling liquor in the club room. No evidence was found against the club, and it seems as if the charge because they were Negroes. Atty Hewson defended the club and said that one could not take a shotgun and drive the city officers in the white clubs with Mayor Borcher as a staunch leader. Mrs S. T. Claietore has purchased the 8 room house at 437 Spring avenue. Would that more Negroes would buy instead of constantly renting. A very nice pool room has be opened at 318 East Main St. by Gus Smith, who hopes to conduct it in a first class manner. As time is drawing near for politics in Macou county, it behooves all Negroes to get together and take a serious part and demand something. Alderman Hagens of the Fourth Ward is just taking his wedding trip. He has been married ten years. It is to be hoped that if Alderman Hagens is re-elected he shall have the pleasure of taking a vacation each year. Mayor Birchers went from a little charm to the Mayor's chair on the Law and Order ticket and received a salary of $1500 per year. After serving one year he is able to buy a lot for $2000 and build a home for $5000. "Good morning, Mr. Law and Order,' where did you get the money?" In Decatur last week a white man raped a girl 13 years old. It is strange indeed that the city papers mentioned the crime just once. Officers arrested a man on suspicion because he had brood on his shirt and scratches about the face. The girl failed to identify him and he was set free. What would have been the reu t had this man been a Negro? A mob and a riot and plenty of lynching. All this year there have been no arrests. What is wrong with Mayor Borcher's police and detective force? Is it because they are not suited for the position or do not care to enfoce the law? All we ask is a fair deal, with justice and good will to all. Miss Vena Smith of Springfield is visiting the Misses B.anton, 1042 N.

The wonderful success which has rewarded the proprietors (of this magnificient attraction this year may be traced to two sources. In the first. place, the character of the per- formance given is such as to return full yalues 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 argu ment in its favor.

Senator Logan Hay, in this is sue of our paper, makes his announcement for re-election as state senator from this, the 45th Senatorial district.

As a legislator he was authority on several important bills. He is well known throughout Sangamon and Morgan counties and has always been looked up on as a man of the highest type and a good citizen. As a candidate for reelection, he offers his record, his services rendered his constituents, his ability to fill the place, etc. as a sufficient guaranty of good faith.

Lyon and Harry Wilson, and any other men who stand for the same ideals and measures that these men stand for and stood for while in the General Assembly; but not politically only, do we refer to their sterling qualities, but also as ordinary good citizens, who believe in rendering favors to a man on his merits, no matter who he is. Dunbar, the Poet Compliment paid by the Globe-Democrat to Paul Laurence Dunbar, the Negro poet: "He did that in his brief time which makes it certain that, could he have lived longer, the light that never was on sea nor land would have bathed him in whiteness. His shadow would have fled before the sun of his genius when at its zenith." Educate your Child. We advise you to keep your children in school. Send them to the colleges and universities and business colleges. The day is at hand for colored men and women of accomplishments. Do You Think You Could do This?
