The Forum

THE FORUM Vol. 8, No. 81 CHAS. W. BYERS. County Clerk, Making Good. Mr. Byers, who is the first Republican in twelve years to be elected County Clerk of Sangamon County, is a young man of this county. He is competent, obliging and is making a record that will commend itself to the people and justify his being elected. He is filling the office with credit to himself and his constituents. He has a competent crew of clerks and auditors, and his administration will no doubt be the best we have had. Church News Notes.

WORK OF WATERS NORMAL SCHOOL Plant Will Be Enlarged For Scientific Courses In Agriculture. ITS INFLUENCE IN WINTON. Institution Founded by Dr. Calvin Scott Brown, an Alumnus of Shaw University, Has Demonstrated Its Worth In Uplift of People In the Community Had Small Beginning. Winton, N. C.—That from obscure ranks come the men and women who are the greatest contributors to the material uplift of the human family is a truth that is accentuated in the life of Dr. Calvin Scott Brown, who is a unique character in the affairs of the Afro-American people, of North Carolina. When a mere had he entered Shaw university, having only $5 to ward his expenses. He of course was compelled to experience things that were common to the struggling student who had little money. Upon one occasion during his first year at this school he exhibited such ability that a philan DR. CALVIN SCOTT BROWN. thropic friend from the north was attracted by his earnestness and zeal and rendered him assistance. Twenty-four years ago, when he was graduated from Shaw university, the President gave him $10 and commanded him 'to go down to a neglected portion of North Carolina and build a school. He laughed heartily and said: "Are you serious, Mr. President? What can be done with $10?" And the president replied, "It is exactly $10 more than I had when I came to Raleigh after the war and began to build this great institution." A long story is briefly told when we remember that the school has been built and that $10 was the first of many offerings which made possible its fruitful growth. Two hundred students are in attendance. Many of them go to the higher institutions to complete their education as lawyers, physicians, teachers, bankers and ministers to their race. When Dr. Brown went to Winton N. C., to erect this school he was discouraged because of the condition of affairs in the community, but through his great work Waters Normal institute has entered fully into the life of the community and today the people have better homes and are more prosperous than ever before in the history of Winton. A prominent white man who is cashier of the bank of that town, when asked by a traveling sales man the standing of the school, said BOYS' DORMITORY AT WATERS NORMAL INSTITUTE. "What! That school? Certainly. That school is worth more than $100,000 to this town." Dr. Brown is a graduate from the college and theological departments of Shaw university, and because of his ability and exceptional work he has received the honorary degrees of A. M. and D. D. He is among the best theologians of the race, a deep thinker, scholar and forcible speaker. Thousands of copies of his addresses have been printed and distributed. His executive ability is evidenced in many activities of the race. He is president of the Lott Carey Forest Mission convention, secretary of the grand lodge of Masons, editor of the Baptist Sentinel, Raleigh, and pastor of four churches. Editorials in Next "BACK TO AFRICA OR COLONIZATION FOR THE NEGRO?" "THE NEGRO VOTE AND HOW IT IS GOING." EVENT OF NATION WIDE INTEREST PUBLIC HAD SHORT NOTICE Hon. C. W. Anderson In Making Presentation as Token of Eateem From Leading Men Calls Mr. Fortune One of Race's Bravest Champions—Praised by Other Speakers. By GEORGE W. HARRIS. An audience entirely unworthy in point of numbers was present at the recent notable occasion at the Abyssinia Baptist church, New York, when Collector Charles W. Anderson, in behalf of Dr. Booker T. Washington and other leading colored men throughout the country, gave to the great veteran editor, T. Thomas Fortune. $315 as a token of their esteem. The audience was composed almost solely of members of the church, and so comparatively few were they that were not the circumstances explained New York's ordered population would appear entirely ungrateful of the friend ship and services of the fearless journalist who was largely responsible for the abolition of jim Crow schools in the state and many other civil discriminations. But for some unknown reason the date, place and other features of what was to be New York's tribute to a popular champion were unaccountably withheld from the public. The arrangements for the meeting, it seems, were entirely in the hands of Freud R. Moore of the New York Age, which Mr. Fortune founded and built into its position of power and prominence of a few years ago. Up until within three days of the proposed meeting some of the speakers who were to be—Collector Anderson, Rev. R. M. Bolden, James H. Anderson, Wilford H. Smith, Esq., and N. Barnett Dodson—were not even I. THOMAS FORTUNE. asked to participate. But the few people who chanced to read or hear of the meeting were present and by their enthusiasm made up in quality what the meeting lacked in quantity. Names of the Contributors.

Y., the well known newspaper correspondent, author and politician, expresses his opinion of Senator Eliju Root's recent speech in the United States senate against the election of senators by popular vote of the people in the following language: "The future of the Negro is beginning to look brighter. I regard Root's warning to the south to quit its foolishness and give the Negro a fair show, as a call to arms of the good hearts in this nation to take the field and fight for the preservation of the law and the constitution. "The Republicans cannot come into power again except on the Negro question. Carter and Root and Depew have already in their speeches foreshadowed what the plan of campaign will be in 1912." --- No Color Line Drawn at Cornell. Mrs. Gerritt Marton, matron in charge at Cornell university and head of Sage college, denies the allegations of James B. Clarke that colored girls are discriminated against by the other students at the university. "It is not true that we have placed a ban on colored girls at Sage college, and there is no color line drawn at Cornell university," she says. Thousands For Kansas University. The Kansas legislature has appropriated $105,690 for the Western university at Quindare, Professor H. T. Kealing, editor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church Review, is the president of the university. Six thousand dollars were also allowed the Douglass hospital at Kansas City, an institution which was founded by the late Bishop Grant. Intermarriage Between the Races. Discriminating laws against intermarriage between the various races in the United States pale into insignificance alongside of the law of personal choice. White, colored, brown and red folks continue to unite in marriage just the same. Out in Minnesota quite recently Louis Wong, a Chinese importer, was married to Florence Strolberg, an American woman, who was an employee of the Chinaman. Next Issue of Forum N AND THE NEGRO."

Oshy, Associate Editor Telephone, Old 3806 Thursday, Oct. 19, 1911 EDITORIAL CAN DENEEN BE RE- ELECTED? Some people declare that Deneen has no more sure thing than a "rabbit," but some of these fellows said so before. The main question is, can he really be elected a third term? Yes, it is possible. He has the State machine behind him, but it is a question. If he announces himself and will so rehabilitate his political matters so as to be able to retain all the support he had in 1908, he has good chances, but that is the question, Can he retain them? "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." THE SANGAMON COUNTY NEGRO VOTE. The colored people of this county are awfully wrought up politically and will assert themselves as never before since the 1896 campaign, but this time they will not support a man simply because he is a Democrat or a Republican. They have not been given a square deal here and the parties responsible for the same will know whom they are. They will open the eyes of some of the people who think Sangamon county needs nothing commensurate with her large Negro vote. We are to be for the men who are for justice and them only. Let the Republicans begin early and look for a good, strong man for sheriff. Mesters does not want but one term. Whem shall we have for County Recorder and County Clerk? It is said that Rich nor Jones will aspire for re-election? Down with the referendum, the initiative and the recall Women have been given suffrage in California. When women have a little more experience in politics, they will find that they are not the proper "jewels" for the ballot. Women have no business taking part in politics. Their place in the world has long since been established, but you have to let them see for themselves that they are not to rule, but to be ruled and protected. JUSTICE HARLAN DEAD Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court of the United States died last week after a brief illness at the age of 78 years, being the oldest, the ablest, and probably the fairest man of that august body. He knew no cobar, race or creed in reaching a decision. He was the "noblest Roman of them all." "When shall there come another?" _____ The saloon people are preparing to fight the high ordinance to a finish. _____ H. A. Converse is said to be the logical Republican candidate for State's Attorney. _____ Opel was County Clerk for twelve years. Mr. Byers is a deserving young man and can be re-elected if he continues to do as he is doing and also, if possible, give the colored vote sonic consideration. CULLOM A CANDIDATE Senator Cullom left this week for Washington. D. C., without saying positively that he is or is not a candidate for another term, but let it be clearly known that he has not withdrawn and if the people say for him to remain he will not "term them down." It is therefore evident that he will be a candidate and Deneen might as well set his cap for a third term if for anything.

Cash With Your Name We Are Determined To Raise Our Subscription List 1,500 More Before November. Hon. H. Clay Wilson, it is said, is the logical Republican candidate for Congress from the 21st congressional district. He's all right. Colored people can't eat promises any more than white people, and the Republican party must not hope to retain its Negro contingent on this kind of "food," because we do not intend to ignore men because they are allied with the Democratic party, when such men are our friends and are willing to give us nutritious food to eat and not promises only. In Massachusetts they are again calling for the Negro vote to help regain that state into the Republican column. Politicians must not mistreat the Negro so if he is to be moulded into a good citizen. Republican National Committee to Meet. The Republican National committee will meet in Washington, D.C., Dec. 12, to fix time and place of holding the National Republican convention next year. Chiego or Indianapolis is the most desirable place. SUNDAY:RELIGIOUS OR CIVIL:WHICH? If Sunday is a religious institution, then the State can never properly have anything to say as to its observance; for it is not the province of the State to settle religious questions, and command the observance of divine precepts. It might be proper for an ecclesiastical council to give consideration to such matters, but the function of the State is not ecclesiastical, but purely civil. Religion is a thing of the heart. It is the personal relation between man and his Creator, and for it we are amenable nowhere, except at the tribunal of the Universal Judge. Because, therefore, Sunday is an institution of the church, not of the State, and its observance is a religious act. Congress can never rightfully pass any law regulating its observance. To parry the force of this, however, the claim is advanced that Sunday is not a religious but a civil institution; and, asthe State should deal with civil matters, it should regulate the observance of the day. But if Sunday is a civil institution, why should its observance be made compulsory? We have holi'days which are purely civil institutions; for example, Washington's birthday, the Fourth of July, and other legal holidays. But who ever heard of the observance of these days being made compulsory? When has a bill ever been introduced into any national or state legislature specifying how these days should be observed and closing up all shops and business houses and places of recreation, under penalty of civil law? All would resent such a step and deem it tyrannical. But if Sunday is a civil institution, it is merely a holiday, and should be dealt with the same as other holidays. Upon which ever horn of this dilemma so-called National Reformers impale themselves, it is equally fatal to their theory, and emphasizes the truth that legislation concerning Sunday is not within the province of the State.
