THE FORUM C. F. MORTIMER [Portrait of a man in a suit with a tie]. M. Endorsed by The Forum for Congress Chas. Foree Dead. Mr. Chas. Force, who resided at 1415 E. Jackson street, and who was employed at the Sangamo Club for the past six or eight years, died suddendy Wednesday afternoon of heart trouble. He fell on South Sixth street near his place of employment and there died. The funeral was held Friday, Sept. 8, at 2:30 p. m. from St. Paul's church. Rev. J. H. Sydes officiated. He was a member of Damon Lodge No. 6, K. of P., of St. Louis. Members of C. Lodge No. 12 of this city acted as pallbearers and also officiated at the funeral obsequies. He was interred in Oak Ridge cemetery. Mrs. Douglas, who resided with her daughter, Mrs. Lucretia Damon, 216 N. 13th street, died on Sept. 6 at the advanced age of 70 years. She had been in bad health for several years. She was an old pioneer resident of Springfield, having lived here for years and HON. S. M. CULLOM FOR SENATOR United States Senator Shelby M. Cullom will be a candidate and be re-elected, succeeding himself, is now a inclusion. Cullom is a charter member of the Republican party to make the policies and platform on which this great sixty years ago and stands today. He is as old as stands as a conspicuous and potential advocate for principles in the National legislative halls, unwavering. always voted with the regular Republicans and never not for measures inimical to the Constitutional rights of or any other citizen of the Nation. That United States Senator Shelby M. Cullom will be a candidate for re-election and be re-elected, succeeding himself, is now a foregone conclusion. Senator Cullom is a charter member of the Republican party and helped to make the policies and platform on which this great party stood sixty years ago and stands today. He is as old as the party and stands as a conspicuous and potential advocate for Republican principles in the National legislative halls, unwavering and unalterable. He has always voted with the regular Republicans and never casts his ballot for measures inimical to the Constitutional rights of the Negro nor any other citizen of the Nation. For over thirty years this eminent statesman has stood for the principles for which his party stands and his voice has never yet become hoarse when issues of vital importance presented themselves. He is experienced in governmental affairs and knows more about the real needs of the people than any other man in Illinois today. It is absolutely necessary to retain such men in office at the fore front of the party—men who will not surrender the party's original charter, but will fight for the Constitution and for all people, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Therefore, we endorse the administration of the Hon. S. M. Cullom and believe we are doing ourselves and the whole people justice in advocating the election of such men to these high places. We are not making a plea for Senator Cullom as a special friend to any class of citizens, but as the staunchest and ablest champion for Illinois Republicanism at a time when party success depends largely upon the calibre of the standard bearers of the party. We are entering a National campaign and the campaign and issue will be analogous to those of 1884 and 1892, at which times the Democrats were given control of the government. Senator Cullom was in public life during these two eventful campaigns and knows how to take the issues. The people of Illinois will not change—they know the Senator has been tried and found equal to the occasions. The next legislature will elect the man endorsed by the people at the polls next year, and Senator Cullom will receive the largest vote ever before cast for that office. He is recognized in the Senate as the ablest man among them, because he is made chairman of the most important committees. Therefore, do not allow the party to be disrupted by following after the shadows, but fall in line for men who can and will be a "lamp unto the party's path and a guiding star" for the Nation. To the people of Illinois we commend Senator Cullom. Requiescat en pace. Mortuary. [Single Copy 5 cents] reared a large family here. She leaves three daughters and three sons, who are her survivors, and many relatives and innumerable friends and acquaintances. The funeral was preached at St. Paul's A. M. E. church Sunday, Sept. 10, by Rev. J. H. Sydes. The interment was made in Oak Ridge cemetery. The Governor of Arkansas, before the Negro Business League, advised the colored people to buy land, get steady employment, open businesses of their own, accumulate wealth, and for the colored women to be neat and tidy and become skilled housewives, etc. This was the best advice he could have given. We say ditto to that. Negroes must learn that cardinal principle. NOTICE—REMOVAL The Forum office will be located in rooms over Tobin & Canham's jewelry store (in rear), $ 522 \frac{1}{2} $ E.

SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1911 Big Will contain cuts and brief sketches of the various men who will aspire for Will State Fair office, be State, biggest County edition ever Political and before gotten con- out by a local congressional. colored paper-circulated largely in state Edition --- STATE FAIR. Illinois really has the Greatest Fair on Earth. Secretary Dickirson of the State Board of Agriculture, Springfield, readily proves the claim. He points out that Springfield is the smallest State Fair site in the country, having only 51,000 people, while Des Moines, the next larger, has 86,000. "The attendance in 1910 at the Illinois State Fair was over 100,000 greater than that of Iowa. More people passed through our gates than any fair in the country, except Dallas, and that fair holds for over two weeks. Our cash premiums are larger than any fair in the country. New York is second, Iowa third, Minnesota fourth, Ohio fifth and Kentucky is sixth. "We will beat the 1910 State Fair out of sight this year. The Wright aeroplanes will give exhibitions every forenoon and afternoon. We will have the greatest motorcyclists in the world on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 29-30, motorcycle days. The great Harvester, with Geers holding the reins, will try to trot a mile in 2:00. This will be on Monday. "On Tuesday, the $5,000 trot stake will bring out the best trotting blood in the country, and on Wednesday the $5,000 pacing stake will attract the best pacers. Altogether over $30,000 in cash will be given to speedy horses. "Wednesday, Old Soldiers' day, will be especially honored with the presence of Gen. John C. Black, famous as a fighter and statesman of Illinois. Thursday is Governor's and also Chicago day. We expect a very large number of the leading citizens of our great metropolis to honor the day set Big Will co sket men Will be State biggest edition ever Po before gotten out by a local colored paper—circulated largely in st apart for the Governor of the State "Saturday, Oct. 7, has been set apart for automobile racing by professionals only. There will be nearly a dozen thrilling events. Bob Burman, the successor of Barney Oldfield, will be one attraction. Another will be Ray Harroun, who won the great 500-mile race for $25,000 at Indianapolis on last Decoration Day. The speediest and most daring automobile racers in the country will be present on that day—the last Saturday—Oct. 7. "With the greatest horses, speediest motorcyclists, most daring automobile drivers, and nerviest aviators, the Illinois State Fair has the best special attractions on top of the earth. The beautiful exhibit of game birds, the show of old-time farmers' implements, the State Live Stock Commission exhibit, the prize stock and farm products. "I verily believe the Illinois State Fair this year will equal any World's Exposition in attractiveness, interest and practical education. "No state in the Union can offer as much of value to those who attend. Just ask the man who has ever attended an Illinois State Fair. As Barney Oldfield remarked last year: "I Illinois certainly has the Greatest Fair on Earth; the title is merited; it is a great educational university." T. W. Quinlan Moves Office. T. W.

Democrats to Make Hardest Fight in Their History for Supremacy, The campaign for State, Con- gressional and County offices is looming up and there are many and varied candidates in the field. Hon. Jas. M. Graham may be a candidate for Congress to succeed himself, The Republicans have not put up aman. All seem to be waiting on the governorship. Yates is yet considered a strong man, Deneen, it is claimed, will be hard to beat if a coalition with Cullom is affected. Stead will be a candidate, it is said, for re-elec- tion, and Rose and MeCullough will aspire to succeed themselves, yet neither of these men have said ‘that he will be a candidate, Cald- well or Dunn is considered the strongest in the Democratic ranks for Governor. In this county we elect a County Recorder, Cireuit Clerk and State’s Attorney. No one has announced. An Object Lesson. In this time of demand for.com- pulsory Sunday observance, an ob- ject lesson may be found in the fact that there are in this country more than one hundred thousand Christians who observe the sev- enth-day Sabbath, and their num- ber is constantly increasing. They are scattered throughout every state in the Union, and live in the cities, in the towns, and in the country distriets. The day which they observe as the Sabbath has become the busiest. day in the week in the commercial world, and they are surrounded by those who are pursuing their ordinary work on that day. When they go to their places of worship their eyes necessarily behold what they re- gard as a desercation of a holy day, and their ears are saluted with the hum of secular industry. They would be glad to have all observe the Sabbath ‘‘according to the commandment,’ and thus honor the Creator, but they never have asked,and never will ask, for legislative enactments which would compel those to pay an outward regard to this day, They must be fully eonvineed by their own con- sciences that they ought to keep itholy. They simply ask to be left free to observe the day of their choice without being fined either directly or ‘=direetly — without being compelled to pay a fine in money into the state treasury or to pay a fine in the way of loss of time by enforced idleness upon a day which the Scriptures desig- nate as a working day—and they freely concede to others the civil right to work on the seventh day of the week and to rest on another day if they choose to do so, or to refuse to observe any day as the Sabbath. Now, if such a body of Christian observers of the seventh day of the week can be developed in this country by the power of conscien- tious convietion alone, in the face of all those circumstances which the advocates of Sunday obsery- ance regard as so fatal to their eause, is it not apparent that no Christian institution needs the support of the civil power? We commend this object lesson to the ¢onsideration of those who are claiming that what they designate as “the Christian Sabbath’” will perish from the earth unless they can secure the passage of laws ito ‘ect and preserve it. sen +.

There has recently settled as pastor of the Horton Street Baptist chureb, London, Ont, the Rev. J. Caldwell Nicholas, B. A. B. D. He comes ex- cellently equipped for the work and starts under the most encouraging con- ditions, as his people have already ral- lied around him. He is a young man and willing to throw all of his powers into his’ endeavor to build up his church. Rev. Mr. Nicholas is from New Orleans, where he recelved the great- er part of his education, taking his arts at Leland university. ‘To prepare himself for the gospel ministry, to which he felt that he had been called, he came north to Richmond, Va., and took his divinity course at the Virginia Union univer- sity, which school offers the best course of the colored Baptist colleges. Desirous of getting the best for use among his people, he came to McMas- ter university, Toronto, where he did special work in systematic and pas- toral theology, at the same time tak- ing a course in voice culture and pub- lie reading at the Toronto school of expression. His decision to start his labors in Canada was reached through the lead- ings of Providence, for Ittle did he dream when leaving for Toronto that he would have settled in a pastorate 80 far from his native state. ‘On Thursday, March 2, in response toa call from bis church, Issued to the churches of the Amherstburg associa- tion and the city of London, an or- dination council met with his people. and after a Ynost thorough examina. tlon it was unanimously agreed to pro- ceed with his ordination. His council had some of the strong. est men of both races in the denomi- nation on it, and all fellowshiped his ‘statements most heartily. Rev. B. B. Thompson of Windsor and Rev. 8. L. McDowell of Toronto were the mod. erator and clerk. respectively. The latter, who was his classmate at Rich- mond, preached the ordination sermon. ‘The Baptists of Canada feel elated at having such additions to their minis. try and) hope to see the other vacant pulpits filled with just such men, Rev.

A NEW PIAN When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown, and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."
