The Forum

THE Gathered by The Forum's Live Force of Special Correspondents VOL. 10. NO. 41 News by Co Gathered by The Forum's Live PEORIA, ILL. (SPECIAL TO THE FORUM) It rained here to-day, Peoria is reforming. "Them" Jefferson Hotel "boys" are "peaches," everything is quiet on the "Potomac." Louis J. Gauss, republican candidate for County Treasurer is making a thorough race, Mr. Gauss is a good man and will fill the office ereditably. L. M. Hines, is a good man for sheriff and is leaving nothing legitimate, undone in his behalf. Oscar Heinrich is the man leading afar off, for County Clerk. Mrs. Dudly is on the sick list. These "emancipations" are costly, the honest up-right colored man must not be censured for what you allow some colored crook to do to you. How many rounds did Hazelwood fight or was it a draw? Andrew Russel for state treasurer. This is what they are saying all over the state, and rightly so. We told you that the Forum can be had at 1224 So. Adams and 306 N. Adams. Peoria needs some business, can't you fellows run stores? Germany is going to kill up all of you Belgians, if you don't get out of the way. See our big Peoria edition next week, the Decatur edition also and the home edition (Springfield.) We want you to read the Forum, have it sent you, it (the Forum,) is the only secular paper published weekly regularly, we have the circulation, because we worked hard for it. PEORIA POLITICS The time for the selection of men for the various offices comes on a pace—We have been calling your attention to the merits and fitnest of L. J. Gauss, L. M. Hines, and Oscar Heinrich—Not merely because they have advertised and paid for their ads, but because, secondary, we believe these men to be fit and desirable men; what we say here does not infer that other men are not competent—We believe, from our information, that these men are as flit if not more fit, than any other men. Judge Stone, W. A. Clinch and J. J. Simmons, have no opposition in the primaries—the republicans simply indorse three and say: "They meet our approbation." LEAVE FOR U. B. F. GRAND LODGE The following grand lodge officers from here are at Mound City. Ill., attending the session of the grand body this week: A. M. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Warrick, Capt, R. A. Byrd, Wm.

Fountain, for Sheriff, is a prominent farmer, living near Niantic. Where is tip Carter? By War Cor. of the Forum. From latest inclinations, Germany is knocking the "block" off of a lot of you fellows. Japan will find that she has gone up against a brace, when them sturdy Germans come marching down the street. Even Clinton has cluster lights, if sugar goes on going up, let him go sweeten your coffee.

Mrs. Fleeta Thomson is on the sick. Att'y Clanton is making a good record. Automobile street is all aglow with the nightly races, after they get through with Water & Main sts. no words can adequately express their beauty. You can't keep up with Decatur that's all. E. R. Brown is talking about going to Africa... Africa, you see, is at peace with the world. "Scue" Clark and Bunch Smith, and a bunch of E. Main st. Patriots, are getting stirred over this imposition, on Germany, and may go to Leige and take up arms in defense of His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor, but they haven't gone yet.

Taylorville and the entire country and those adjoining received the best rain they have had since early spring, several people celebrated the occasion by catching cold. There are quite a number of Colored men employed on the paving force here. A white man watching two brick layers that were working so swiftley, took out his watch and in 1 minute 10 seconds, they had laid three rows of brick across the street which is the usual width. That is the record of Taylorville it hasn't been equaled before.

BASE BALL Union Giants vs. St. Louis Athletics Sunday, Aug. 15th Poston Pitches Great Game 17 Strike Outs in 9 Innings St. Louis Giants Here August 30th Dawson Here August 23rd The Game by Innings Summarized by Rogers Last Sunday witnessed another great game, played by the Giants vs. St. Louis, a fast aggregation. Poston and Jones, were the chosen record-makers, picked by "Mitch" to deliver the goods and bring home the "bacon" for Gibbs. 1st of the 1st St. Louis in no runs. There were no runs made until the 6th when St. Louis eased in one in the 1st of the 6th, the Giants then, by Mitchell's play edged in one also, it was close pickens through-out. St. Louis has a fast team, Crawford's men know what to do with the ball in the field. In the last of the 8th the Giants made 3 runs and in the 1st of the 9th St Louis made 2. Poston struck out 17 men, walked one. Scores made on errors; Giants 3, St. Louis no errors. The youth s. s. of St. Louis is "Merkle" and St. Louis has one Baker, but our Mathewson, (Poston,) held 'em down at the plate and Lonnie Jones is as a sack behind the bat. Cansler made a running catch which which was wonderful. Time of game, 1:30. Umpire Ball, for Giants; Smith, for Athletics. St. Louis line up; A. Green, ss; A. Coleman, 2b; S. Clay, lf; L.

NO, THERE IS A CROSS FOR EVERYONE, AND THERE IS A CROSS FOR ME. Now study the meaning of this verse and do your duty. It is divided into two sections or two independent clauses or rather, sentences, plain enough for and an 8th grade chap to comprehend, provided of course, if he understands the meaning and the application of the word "cross." The word, and its varied applications, should be expatiated on and analyzed by the minister or teacher. It takes too much space for a secular paper like this to attempt to attempt to make these things as plain as we desire, we feel that the clergy should expound, impart and teach, more than is done in a goodly number of pulpits to which we have listened. We fear that you are hungry, yea, starving, for the truth emphatically presented. We are not casting any reflections, we are giving our honest convictions, we hope we are in error. The "cross" suggests a duty, a work, a burden, the first sentence is an interrogation the record is an answer and a positive declarative answer. No there is a cross, a duty, a burden, a bounden duty for everyone, not some one, and there is a cross for me. This poet asked the question and answered it, and it stands approved. He goes further. Must I be carried to the skies on flowery beds of ease, while others fought to win the prize and sailed thru bloody seas? No sir. Is it not plain, "If any man would, (desires,) to follow me, let him deny himself, take up the cross, (this same duty or burden,) daily, and follow me; daily mind you, not Sunday or when you feel good, or when it is not hot, cold, windy or raining, daily. Study these requirements, don,t be talking about how you will fare in heaven. You will never be saved on "hot air." You must die in order to live, is Paul's explanation, but you most live in order to die, also. For these all died in faith, not having received the promise, but having seen them afar off" Heb. Paul further declared that we are strangers and Pilgrims on 'the earth. A Pilgrim is a wouderer, seeking another place a satisfying abode. Another point; Paul offered as the best proof of his christianity the fact that he loved the brethren. Did not Jesus Himself, declare that ye must love one another? He that he loves God whom he has not seen, and loves not his brother whom he has seen is a liar and the truth is not in him. What are you going to do with these averments? Study your Bibles and ascertain your (personal) duty, not everybody else's duty, and strive to do duty to the best of your ability and you will be in reality, happier and, whatever the final ecstasies are, after you shall have wrapped the drapery of your couch about you and laid down to pleasant dreams, they will be given you.

Wheeler of Auburn announces his candidacy for the republican nomination for sheriff of Sangamon county subject to the decision of the republican primary, Sept. 9, 1914. I hereby declare myself a candidate for Sheriff of Sangamon County, subject to the decision of the Republican primaries, September 9, 1914. MIKE MAHON. I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Sangamon county subject to the decision of the Democratic primary, September 9th, 1914. Sangamon County and This Congressional and Senatorial District. For Judge I wish to announce that I am a candidate for re-nomination before the democratic primary, to be held Sept. 9, next for the position of Judge of the county and juvenile court of Sangamon county. If I am nominated and elected the business of the court generally and the dependent and delinquent children, who unfortunely must appear in court, will not suffer by my neglect. G. W. MURRAY. I am a candidate for the Democratic nomination for County Judge. ROBERT FITZGERALD. For County Clerk Announcement is hereby made of my candidacy for county clerk, subject to the decision of the republican primary, September 9, 1914. CHARLES W. BYERS.

For County Superintendent of Schools. I wish to announce myself as a candidate for County Superintendent of Schools subject to the decision of the republican primaries, September 9, 1914. Decatur also, is progressive in this manner in the superlative degree. A common querry and answer:— Are you married? No sir. I have been married. Mrs. Jezebell was a cruel woman— She had her husband, Naboth, stoned to death by lying on him before the king, merely for an other man who corrected Naboth's Vineyard. Man that is born of a woman is full of trouble and has been since that garden Eden Myth. Candidates for offices over the state are many, in decaling that office seeking is by the man and not by the office—that is men don't wait for the office to seek them, they go out after the office the only way most of them would ever get office. The people should strike on the use of meats and use less sugar. We can't stand for this high-priced sugar and pork chops. You fellows ought to let Jack Johnson alone—When he was here you wanted him ostracised, killed or sent to the penitentiary, now let him alone—He is in France and may become a Hannibal or a Napolion—Let him alone. Everybody is sending Germany an ultimation, save the U. S. and the South American countries. Germany usually answers by sending, in return, a regiment. Sugar is trying radium's game on us. The old rags and papers that the rag man buys ought to be a great example for 'our race.' All of the Colored papers can be had at Thompson Brs., Brown Hotel or by Forum office boy—Colored people, you must read more. Read and be better enabled to hold a conversation. Don't talk so much about nothing. Getting efficient, reliable, dependable colored help is a "race problem" now. Colored people go to work on time. Go to church on time. Punctuality, thou art a jewel—with colored people—except of course, to catch an excursion train. If Colonel Theodore Roosevelt loses that suit brought against him by Barnes he, (the colonel.) will be stronger than ever, for the recall of judicial decisions. It is a pitty Barnes did not see this and with-hold that suit. Congressman Hinbaugh, of the 13th district, is a prophet, but it remains to be seen how accurate he is. Congressman Stone of Peoria, admits that he was accidently elected and infers that the democrats should acquiesce on him. Since hose are going to be so high on account of the German war, and since you can plainly see through the latest hose these ladies wear, suppose we do away with hose for awhile and wash our feet clean and ankles and let it go at that? We told you fellows to stop so much quarrelling, fighting, and lynching and burning colored people over here. Now you are engaged in a great national war, testing whether or not you and your tac ics aid and atrocities can long endure. You have met on your second Waterloo and you have slain your ten thousand and the end is not yet. Before this great conflict shall have been ended you will be calling on these same Sable Sons, whom you are so wont to murder, for succer, "Come over into Macedonia and help us," will be heard audibly, from your feeble voices ye generation of Vipers. "For whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." This is the law and the prophets. "To be or not to be, that is the question" O yes. Miss Eulalia Osby, the Forum city reporter, was in Lichfield the first part of this week Lincoln, Ill. is one of the most progressive small towns in the state: she has of course, progressive men—Cluster lights are being put up all over the principal streets in the heart of the business districts, which will make this the prettiest town in Central Illinois. Mrs. Clarence Clem, and children, accompanied by Clem, left last Sunday for Olkhart, Illinois, where Mrs. Clem and children are spending ten days, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Bruner, Mr. Clem returned Sunday night Lonnie Jones played ball so well that he was appointed a messenger in the Utilities Commission at the state house. Get Poston a job over there and we will have a state house team. "Worth makes the man, and want of it the fellow." FOR STATE TREASURER C. ANDREW RUSSELL THE F Will be sent to any ad Augus Septemb For one Year ANDREW RUSSEL, of Jacksonville Will be sent to any address in the United States FROM August 15th Decatur, Illinois, Politics and P Men of Note Justice J. H. McCoy for County Jud Splendid Record Made Decatur, Illinois, Politics and Political Men of Note Justice J. H. McCoy for County Judge. A Splendid Record Made On the declination of Judge Smith to again become a candidate for County Judge, the Macon County republican lawyers, to a man, endorsed and persuaded Justice J. H. McCoy to become a candidate for that office. This, itself is a high testimonial of the worth and capabilities of J. H. McCoy. Justice McCoy is one of the best known men in Macon County and has served on the bench as Justice for 13 years. He is a lawyer of high standing which has ably fitted him to make the best Justice of the Peace Decatur ever had. WELL KNOWN FRIEND OF THE COLORED PEOPLE He is highly endorsed by the colored people and has made a record for impartiality. No colored man has nany fears of not getting a square deal when his case is before J. H. McCoy. He tries the case and not the man and his color. This is the reputation he has. In conversation with Attorney S. T. Clanton, Mr. Clanton said of Justice McCoy: "There is no better man for that position in the county. He has an unimpeachable reputation. I am doing all I can for him and lining up every one I can to support him. While he is well known and highly revered by the colored people, every effort must be made in his behalf, and nothing should be left undone or said that is profitable. You can't make it too strong for the Judge in the Forum, since your paper has a large circulation in this city." Such a man as J. H. McCoy is the proper sort of a man for County Judge. A man who has no fears or hesitancy in doing that which he conceives to be right and of which he took oath to uphold. Such a man, J. H. McCoy has proven to be, and this is your chance to choose a true and tried man. Ex-Constable, Republican Candidate for Sheriff Primary September 9th. Coal miner, working daily in the mine. He is well known to a large number of voters. He is making a clean, honest campaign. He will represent the whole people regardless of clasg, color or religion. Ae will not ask a deputy to Po anything he wouldn't do. A large crowd of excursionists from St. Louis were up here in Springfield—the Hotel Brown was over crowded.

O TEMPORE, O MORES Our preachers, that some of them, are either a lot of non-compis mentise or they are being victimized by unscrupulous fellows for self agrandizement. Our clergymen will never be properly respected until they hold themselves up in a zone where there is no, or not so much, suspicion and ridicule. We pick up a bill and it reads a "grand so and so" speakers here from everywhere. Rev. So and So will speak, and in the next paragraph it says, plenty of cool drinks, meaning beer, etc., and down further it reads, games and baseball, and further on down it reads "music by orchestra" and a pavilion to dance, 50 by 150 ft. etc. This is a fact and a deplorable fact. If the names of these preachers are forged, handle the forger, if you preachers consent to have your names on these bills for dances, and the like, that go on at most of these "free.for.alls," you are not fit to be parading around in the sanctum sanctorium, every Sunday, advising and criticising the youth. You are a hindrance and an abomination, doing more harm than good—be what you are—be consistent—if God be God serve Him, if Baal. Baal. We see the same names on the ins allation program as we see on the ball and picnic dodgers. O Tempores, O Mores. TEXAS NEEDS GREAT MEN XXXVIII. APPEAL. Phillip, the Macedonian king, while drowsy with wine was trying a case and the prisoner after sentence was pronounced, exclaimed, "I appeal." "And to whom do you appeal?" inquired the astonished monarch. "I appeal from Phillip drunk to Phillip sober," replied the prisoner, and the king granted the request and at a rehearing gave the prisoner his liberty. The people drowsy with the wine of discord oftentimes pronounce a verdict on public questions which they reverse in their more calm and deliberate moments. The next best thing to making no mistakes is to correct them. Let those who balance the scales of justice and weigh out the destinies of their country, avoid the bar-room of suspicion where envy and hatred are served and where the atmosphere is poised with the fumes of discord; touch not the wine cup of ambition sparkling with dishonesty and bubling with deceit; abstain from the use of class prejudice that benumbs judgement, inflames the mind and dethrones reoson. Texas needs great men.—Texas Commercial and Business Men's Association. (What was true in the days of Phillip of Macedonia, is largely true today. The people get drunk over the contents of the cup of discord and render opinions which would otherwise not be rendered. The crying need of the country is men who would not obstickle public thought nor complicate public questions, but who on the other hand will do what they can to lead all into the searching light where duty points a way.) The Prohibitionists received such a telling defeat in the last democratic primary that the leaders seem to be at a loss as to what next to do. They will have to wait two years before they can submit the question of state-wide prohibition. Some of the leabers are advising the Prohibitionists to cease the agitation of the question, while Dr. J. H. Gambrel, president of the Anti-Saloon League advises the continuation of a campaign of education along the temperenee line. Let every man be his own master. "No question is ever settled until it is settled right." The Grand Lodge period is about over. The railroad companies did not fail to get their share of the charity money. One order alone carried over two hundred delegates from this city. The average cost to carry each of these delegates to and from the Grand Lodge was twenty-five dollars, making a total expenditures of five thousand dollars this one order spent to go to the Grand Lodge to vote to raise the assessment per member in order to do business in Texas. It does seem strange that these grand masters, grand secretaries and other grand officers do not devise some other less expensive way of doing business. Dallas Texas Express For Young Ladies and Men To Make School Book and Clothes Money Apply at Forum office—You who desire a job, but please don't come if you don't want to work. We are explaining in this article how easily it is for you to earn something, if you are not better employed and desire to earn something—here is the proposition—don't come up asking "how much do you pay"? "What is it you want?" Here it is—We know you can do something to help yourselves if you will and if your parents will let you—We are going to run the Forum daily for three weeks—a thing never before done—You will like it and appreciate our efforts—we want young ladies to go over the city, at churches, etc., and take orders for this daily-We pay the commission of 50%. The paper for three weeks will be 30 cents or 10 cents per week, including the regular weekly. Suppose you get only 30 subscriptions you have made $4.50 for yourself. 60 would be $9.00 and 60 will be easily gotten as nearly every colored person would pay 10 cents per week just to see and help the venture, also you have a chance to get ads, on ads we pay 20 percent. You also have our white friends to draw from, who are very liberal. This was proven in our Camp Lincoln Daily. Now you have the proposition. First come, better served—Married or elderly persons may also take hold. It is a "cant lose" proposition. Better than selling perfumes & powders. Apply on or after August 24—but dont wait—It is easy and pleasant. It is the purpose to start the daily about August 27. A prize of a gold watch and a diamond ring, may be given to the one getting the largest number of 45 cent subscriptions, over 50—Will announce postively after securing solicitors—"lay on Mac Duff—Manager, Forum. ANOTHER OPPOR TUNITY. Benefit of Lincoln Old Folks and Orphans Home. As every little bit helps, during the month of August 1914, every person subscribing to one year's subscription to the Forum and paying for same in advance, 50 cts of said amt. during said month will be given to the Home. This is the same principal upon Carnegie and Rosenwald' works—the never give anything unless you do something. You may pay your subscriptions to Mrs. Monroe, the Matron, who will receipt for one year from date and Mrs. Monroe will retain 50 cents on every $1.50 giving you full receipt. Also you may pay to Mr. Bunn at State National Bank in same manner. You make a howl about the needs of the home and the laxity on our part as business men. This is as liberal as the Forun can be. All of you should take the paper. This applies to new subs, or parties paying for one year, only. Even if there is only one half dozen, persons to subscribe, that will help and our efforts will inspire some other business man to do something. White people will supscribe and pay. So the ladies who are working for the home may seize this proposition and see what is in it. It is at least better than straight out begging. We shall see now what you will do. It is up to you. ANDREW RUSSEL FOR STATE TREASURER The attention of colored voters in particular, and all republican voters in general, is called to the candidacy of Andrew Russel, of Jacksonville, for State Treasurer. Mr. Russel is an honest, upright, able man, a man of the highest type, a true republican and a man of the highest political integrity. In politics, as well as in private life, he has an unimpeachable record, not one just adverse word can be heard against him he is a business man, a great citizen who believes in according to worthy men, equal treatment and courtesies. In endorsing Mr. Russel through this papaer, we do so with pleasure and in sincerity. Russel for State Treasurer—everybody out for Russel, a sriendlier and a kindlier man, Illinois does not possess. A CORRECTION In the article explaining Mr. Osborne's position in the Enterprise bank last week, we were in error when we stated that he was instrumental in purchasing the bank building. He wants only fair statements made. He entered the business part of the bank as a stock-holder assured that the affairs were in good order and that there would be dividends, but there were none. Finding things not as the See'y had told him and many loose screws were visible, Mr. Osborne got out of the business as stated in a previous issue. REISCH BREWERY CO. SPRINGFIELD. ILLINOIS.
