Woman's Club. A Resume of the Past Week Echo Concert Oct 17 At Unin Church CLUB NOTES. The Springfield Woman's Club met on Monday afternoon, Sept. 26th, at the residence of Mrs. Julia Duncan, of 312 north 12th street. The attendance was not so large but a great deal of business of importance was transacted by the Club. The President, Mrs. J. C. McClain, after getting the approval of all the members, decided to defer the Election of Officers until the fourth Monday in October. The gate for the "Echo" concert was also passed upon during this meeting. The Echo Concert will take place at Union Baptist church on Monday evening, Oct. 17th, 1910. It was voted in the meeting that a third of the door receipts would be donated to the Editor of the Forum. He has kindly printed our Club Notes for some time free gratis. Now we wish to return to him our heartfelt thanks. We trust the public will take note and attend this grand concert, as there will be warblers, echoing news from all parts of the Union. The bills will be out a little later; until then keep the Echo Concert in mind. The President made her annual Financial report before the Club and successfully reported all money received by the Club during the past eleven years. A total of $3,882.88. The various churches have contributed about $200.00 of said amount. We thank them in behalf of Lincoln's Colored Home. A complete volume will be written soon, telling the noble work of the club, by Mrs. J. C. McClain, our President. All members be present at our next business meeting held Oct. 24th, at the Home. Will continue to take donations for the bed linen. Respectfully yours, MRS. J. C. McCLAIN, Pres. MR. M. C. TIER, Sec'y. MRS. L. OUTLAND, Reporter. Y. M. C. A. Services.

He is the man for the place, and the Republicans of this district have "Be ye doers and not sayers only." acted wisely in unanimously choosing him for their candidate. The need of orthodox Republicans in Washington was never before more imperative than now. E. C. Pruitt. J. B. Republican Candidate for Co. Supt. of Schools. Brookins Makes Race Lands at Fair Grounds Aviator Brookins, who started from Chicago at 9:15 o'clock Thursday morning, landed in the center of the race track at the Fair grounds at 4: 7 P. M. of the same day, amidst a mighty concourse of people who reminded one's imagination of the crowd that was waiting for the Holy Ghost. It is said that there were 25000 people, most of whom had two eyes, some four, stood gazing in the air for the "bird" man's arrival. It is a wonder of the 2ieth century. REV.SMALLEY Rev. J. M. Smalley is yet unable to take charge of his pastor al work at Grace M. E. chuch, being confined to his room. The services were conducted last Suday at 11 a.m. by Rev S. R.

THE FORUM A weekly magazine paper devoted to the interests of the whole people. Entered as second-class mail matter February 24, 1904, at the postoffice at Springfield, Ill., under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. ROGERS & OSBY - Proprietors One Year..... $1 50 One Month..... 15c Per Copy..... c OFFICE: 305 1-2 S Sixth St. Phone Main 998 THE FORUM'S STAFF E. L. Rogers, Editor and Manager. J. B. Osby, Associate Editor. EDITORIAL Saturday. Oct.1 1910 Hon. E. H. Morris, of Chicago, is Grand Master of the Grand U. O. of Odd Fellows. Caleb Powers was nominated for Congress, in the eleventh Congressional district of Kentucky. Big hats may come, and big hats may go, but small shoes will never go out of style, not even with big feet. That's strange, but true. Deneen keeps them all guessing where he is at. They can hardly lose your uncle Joseph G. Cannon. And W. L. Taylor has been deposed from the office as head of the G. U. O. of True Reformers. We hope this is to the advantage and not to the detriment of that great financial institution. The Republican State Convention met here last week and passed resolutions endorsing the National and State Administrations. Gov. Chas. S. Deneen was chairman of the convention, and the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, of Vermilion Co., made the speech of the convention in his characteristic sarcastic style. The election of the proper men to the State legislature is very important. Here is where the laws are made. We are glad to endorse Messers. T. E. Lyon and H. W. Wilson as being, in our opinion, reliable men for the responsible positions to which they aspire. They have been weighed and found not wanting. If you hope to have good legislation enacted, you must support good men. It appears from the reports in the newspapers that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, in B. M. C. session at Baltimore, a fortnight ago, had a "turbulent" time instead of a brotherly, fraternal meet. It is too bad! Our people must not go "mad" for office, but let the office seek the man. We hope the affair is not as bad as it is reported to be. --- THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION. There should be no hesitancy in your voting for the Hon. H. Clay Wilson, for Congress. He is the man for the place, and the Republicans of this district have acted wisely in unanimously choosing him for their candidate. The need of orthodox Republicans in Washington was never before more imperative than now. ROOSEVELT WINS IN NEW YORK Ex-president Theodore Roosevelt who was a delegate to the State Republican Convention at Saratoga, and a candidate for Temporary Chairman of the convention, being the rival of Vice-president Sherman, T. L. Woodruff and the combined force of the "Old Guard." Roosevelt is considered a "progressive" and his victory and policies are considered significant. Mr. Roosevelt is one of, if not the most, powerful men in America in wielding influence. It is to be hoped that he and his rivals will harmonize the republican forces in New York and carry the empire state for the grand old party this fall. If the republicans win New York that state will name the next Presidential candidate and will likely elect him in 1912; if they lose, the reverse is likely to obtain. FRIENDSHIP'S SHADOW. The door of my heart stood open wide And Friendship's Shadow passed inside; My eyes were blinded and did not see. Twas only the shadow that came to me. So I swept and garnished the room of my heart. And knelt to worship—the shadow fled. Withered quite are my roses red, But I've placed white lilies there instead; And there in that empty room of my heart At the still, white altar, alone, apart, In silence I knee! at the close of day, With my stricken soul and we strive to pray; As we mourn for the thing that was meant to be, The Friendship whose Shadow came to me. —CORA J.
