THE FORUM Vol. 7, NO. 26 SPRINGFIELD, ULL., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 1910. 15C A MONTH Dr. Seago for Sheriff Dr. Seago for Sheriff Republican Candidate for Sheriff Made Good Record While Chief of Police. REQUESTS YOU TO EX AMINE PAST RECORD Has Been Actively Engaged in Politics for the past Twelve Dr. A. E. Seago, Republican candidate for the nomination for Sheriff early announced that he would be a candidate for Sheriff of this county. He has a clean record, not only as a man, but as a politician. For twelve years he has been actively engaged in Republican politics, and believes in clean and square dealings. He was solicited to serve as chief of police and did so for one year. There is no ill report of his services in that capacity. He declares that if he is elected the duties of the office will be looked after to the letter and that all men will be given equal pro Republican Candidate for Sheriff Republican Candidate for Sheriff M. A. E. SEAGO. tection and justice along all lines He feels that he will get the nomination and his campaign has been thorough. Dr. Seago is a business man and knows the "Be ye doers and not sayers only." county and the people thereof. He is soliciting the Republican votes from ALL Republicans and desires any and all to examine his record and see if he is found wanting. Dr. Seago is a young man and we commend him to the public, relying on his word and his record, We have no hesitancy in asking for him due consideration and suffrage. Petersburg Notes.

Republican Candidate for Probate Judge. Notice To Voters--Judge Murray is being unqualifiedly endorsed by the democrats of the County for renomination. He has a record of being the best judge the county ever had and on tha the relies for success. A young man who has attained a noteworthy prominence in legal and judicial circles in Spring field and Sangamon county is C. H. Jenkins, now Justice of the Peace with an office at Police Headquarters. Mr. Jenkins is a man of unusual energy and ability. The amount of work done in the past two years is astonishing. Mr. Jenkins has come in contact with many working men in his Justice Court administration, and has gladdened many a poor man's heart by seeing to it that he received justice and received it quickly. In every case where it appeared advisable Judge Jenkins has given offenders a chance to pay their fines or has suspended fines pending good behavior, endeavoring in this way to check crime and give the offender a chance to reform and become a useful citizen. Without doubt constant justice of the peace work develops fairness and good judgment, and Mr. Jenkins has certainly had unusual experience in this line as a Justice. He was elected to his present office in 1908, and was admitted to practice before that in all courts, both state and federal. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and is a type of the younger blood, which has been injected in some of our official positions, and which has in almost every case resulted in improved administrations, especially in county affairs. He desires the support of laboring men, and all citizens who desire the Probate Court to be properly and ably administered. Every man should carefully consider his qualifications, for many will support him after this has been done. He treats all people alike, regardless of race or color.

The incessant cry is for com- petent young men. Can you find them? Young men, get your- selves in readiness, The readers of this paper know who are the fit men and we be- lieve all good reliable voters will hold up the men who stand for the citizenship rights of all clas. ses, Governor Deneen usually waits until the enemy has shot out all of its ammunition and exploded all of its inflammatory material before he returns fire—and then he leaves not one bird alive in the flock, Logan Hay’s Record. Senator Hay’s record as a member of the 45th General As sembly seems to be as good as you could expect. He voted for allrem-dial measures and agains all pernicious schemes which were frought with mischief, The young woman who fails to make home a study and strives uot to keep her home clean and inviting, and cannot refrain from odious gossip, is not meeting the requirements of the eXpectant community, nor her husband, brother, father, or mother,as the case may be, Sullivan Versus Hay The political animosity appar- eot between Messrs Sullivan and Hay is calculated to keep afresh the factional strife in the party, But it must evidently be fought to a decisive termination. It is not good policy, but the people must say whether or not, Mr. Hay or Mr, Sullivan shall reign essrs. Lyon and Hay The Legislative Voters’ Leag— ue have endorsed, among the many candidates T, E. Lyon and Logan Hay. This speaks in the very highest terms for these two men, as you know that when the League enderses a man his re- cord and his general qualifica- tions have been thoroughly in- vestigated aud found to be ex- purgated, “‘Jack-leg’”’ Preachers There is a class of ignorant men who follow up the ecclesias- tical conventions of the colored people by their pernicious misbe- havior, causing the church and the race to retrograde, The in telligent ministers must be given the pulpits and the unlearned ‘jack leg” relegated to the rear, This must be done, Sunday Services atthe Y. M.C.A. | Dr. E. H, Borden, in his ad- dress before the Y, M. C. A. last Sunday, said some of the richest and most valuable things we have ever heard, They should ‘be imbibed by every woman and girl. Dr, Borden declared that our women should be more careful in the child rearage. He also showed that preparation must begin before the child is born, or even before the marriage. No man, he declared, should allow his wife to drag along and not read good literature, etc. His proverbs were fine, Vote for the Best Men At the Primary Ino the election next week, care should be taken in selecting men who are not only competent, but suitable for the offices to which they aspire. We have stood up for the men who believe in good government —men, who, when trouble and friction arise such as we had here and ia Cairo are not afraid to do their duty—men who believe in an honest ballot and the votes counted as cast—men who will not ouy or sell you—men who be. believe all men are entitled to their constitutional rights and are not afraid to stand up and proclaim the truth regardless of the ‘black hand,” It is not our business, prior to the primaries to impugn any one, but if you are not careful in nam ing the bestand the fittest men, you cannot hope to elect the best and fittest. So act well your part. “Should the Negro Remain in America or Seek Another Coun- try?’ is the title of a belabored article in the pretentious Colora do Times, The Negro was here when Teuton landed, came with the adventurous Spaniard, wel. comed the proud Saxon, and will be here when Gabriel calls the entire company to the feast of eternity. What is needed is some one to write not of the possible embark: ation of the Negro to any distant land, but some one to write that he must build his home on the ground beneath his feet and be- come an American citizen, re- sponsible, decent, progressive and willing to abide by the laws, —N.

Tuskegee School Gets Bequest. New Jersey Woman's Wealth Will Go to Booker Wash ington's Tuskegee Institute. By the death of Mrs. Flora L. Dotger, who died at her home in South Orange, N.J. Aug. 26, the bulk of her estate, estimated to be worth $1,000,000, will go to Tuskegee Institute, of which Booker T. Washington is the head. The German hospital of Philadelphia receives $10,000. Mrs. Dotger was the widow of Andrew T. Dotger, who died Dec 30, 1905. His estate was then said to be worth $994,932, much of it in New York real estate. His will directed that his widow should have a life interest in his estate, of which approximately two thirds should finally accrue to Tuskegee. The exact amount was then estimated at $655,000. Mr. Dotger never visited Tuskegee, although he was always interested in the education of negroes. He was born in Philadelphia in 1841 and retired more than twenty years ago from the New York stock exchange. A Woeful Negligence. The average colored boy and girl gets practically no home training. You find them profane, without madners and wholly ignorant along lines of etiquette. They go to Sunday school where and when they choose, loaf in the alleys and public highways, go untidy and are not clean. It is a shame, and the sin lies at the gate of the mother and father. The average boy and girl is not competent nor reliable. They are drones and dwarfs and their sins are manifold. They inherit it. The average colored woman is spending too much time running after clubs and societies and neglecting the home and the training of their children. Children are but the reflection of their parents. Let every mother resolve to begin over and teach her child fireside lessons, which are irradiable. If you do not you will pay the cost—and the cost is great. Thompson Returns. J. E. Thompson, who attended the National Negro Business League at New York last month reports that 1000 delegates were in attendance and that 5000 people heard the program and the deliberations of the body. Mr. Thompson visited in Washington, D.C. and points in Maryland and Ohio. Douglas Re-elected.
