The Forum

THE FORUM Vol. 8, No. 36 SHALL THE SALOONS GOV- ERN THE PEOPLE OR THE PEOPLE THE SALOONS? This is the Question Before You Screen Ordinance Will Be Great Improvement and Protection To the Youth. The election which has been forced on the people by the saloon interests, to be held Dec. 14th, is an important one because the people are called upon to settle a most vital question: Shall the saloon govern the people or the people the saloons? We say let the people rule. Barber shops have closed on Sundays in obedience to commands. Now the ordinances are fair. The screen ordinance is one of vital importance because it protects your son and daughter and does away with wine rooms, clears the tracks and when a saloon has closed you can see all over the room. The $1,000 license cannot do any harm to anyone; if a man can pay $500 for a saloon, two men can pay $1,000 just as easy. The license for bartenders is an asset for them because it protects them from intrusion and raises the standard of the bartenders' fraternity. The commissioners, Messrs. Davidson, Coe and Spaulding, have no fear of the recall. They are doing their work in earnest and above board. This is no fight to abolish saloons, but merely to regulate them. Every Colored voter should feel it a personal duty to support the ordinance, because we know too well what bad conducted saloons do for the Colored people. If the saloons win this fight the Colored people will again be insulted, mal-treated by ignorant and unscrupulous policemen. The commissioners mean to give the Colored people fair and just and proportionate recognition, and if this election goes in favor of the ordinances you will see a change. Let all the Colored people who are looking ahead and desire to save the young people consider these things and prepare to vote for the ordinances. You will find that it will be to your best interest to stay with the best people, that is, the people who stand for the high ideals and moral improvement. There will be a lot of one and five dollar bills floating around just before and on election day, but these same people will join a mob after the election and run you out of the city for all that. We can't afford to go against what is best for the community. We claim that these ordinances, if enforced, will prove an asset even to all decent saloon people. Let the dives go; what good are they? Remember if you vote against the ordinance you vote away your own chances for a peaceful life, where you do not have to dodge robbers and cut throats and mobs. Shall the good people or the bad people have Springfield? The Ordinances Should be Sus tained. Every reasonably sane person sees that there is nothing harmful in the ordinances, but much good will accrue from them if sustained. The screen ordinance simply removes the screens after the saloon has been closed and is one of the best things for the protection of the young boys and girls that has ever been done in Springfield. Therefore, it is to the best interest of saloon and anti-saloon men that this law be upheld. The colored people know what "wide open" saloons do for them and they know what poor recognition they received under the regime controlled by that element. So don't fail to vote for the ordinance. Auditor McCullough. Anditor J. S. McCullough, who will likely be a candidate for reelection, has conducted the affairs as state accountant (or bookkeeper) for the people of bookkeeper so satisfactorily that he has, up to now, had comparatively little or no opposition from within his own party ranks. Everything seems to be absolutely agreeable and all records and accounts are correct. He is an old soldier and fought many a hard battle in the [Single Copy 5 cents] S Civil war; was with Grant's army that marched through the South "clearing up everything before them." Mr. McCullough is very congenial and a staunch Republican. Candidates from This County Next Year. Sangamon county will no doubt furnish many candidates next year for the various offices. Ben Rich, who has filled the position as County Recorder with credit, will no doubt be a candidate for re-election; Edmund Burke, C. F. Mortimer, H. A. Converse et al., are considered candidates for State's Attorney. Mr. Torrance, a young lawyer who has a good reputation, is said to be out for Clark B. Shipp's place. Justice Reilly has made a good Justice and may be a candidate to succeed himself. Justice Connolly may also be a candidate for re-election. T. E. Lyon is urged to run again and Hon. H. Clay Wilson will be the unanimous choice of the Republicans for Congress. Graham may have strong opposition. At New Hope Baptist Church.

Mr. Editor, please allow me this correction through your paper in reference to the funeral of Miss Lizzie Saunders. The pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church and Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, mother and father of the young woman, agreed on the time and arrangement for the funeral Friday evening, and from then until about 8:30 Saturday evening I was in all preparation to carry out said arrangements, and as to any refusal of the time or service, or demands for compensation, were unthought of, unreasonable and is an absolute falsehood. There was no time until I was given notice about 8:30 p. m. Saturday that the matter was out of my hands, that had Mr. or Mrs. Saunders come or sent for me I would not have yielded to any demand of them. WILLIAM M. COLLINS, Pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church. A. Correction. The report in last week's Forum to the effect that Miss Eva Bridges had married one Mr. Green, is erroneous. Miss Bridges is not married. "Be ye doers and not sayers only."

The purpose of the club and the program in full will appear in next issue. The Screen Removal. A goodly number of people are under the impression that the screen ordinance, if carried, will mean that you can not have any screens in your saloon at all and that people can see a man whenever he goes up to the bar to get a drink, but that is not so. It simply means that when the saloon is closed at 12 o'clock, all screens, blinds, partitions, etc., are to be moved and the place clear so you can see all over the place until the saloon is opened again at 5 o'clock. Saloons are to be closed only five out of the twenty-four hours.

After hanging them their bodies were burned. No cause is assigned for the dastardly deed. A white mob is seeking the culprits at this writing. The colored people are said to have been highly respected. When the truth is known you will find that these girls were outraged and their father resented it and was lynched with his daughters as a consequence. We hope hereafter that Labor Unions will not be so over-zealous in condemning the authorities for arresting criminals and anarchists affiliated with their fraternity. When the McNamaras were arrested a great mass meeting was held and everybody but the right parties was condemned by the Labor Union. Now you see what is what. Rev. T. D. Logan, in his sermon Sunday, declared that the people for the first time had the opportunity to obey God's demand on that of the devil in the approaching election.
