The Last Call Before the Primary. Peoria Politics Oscar Heinrich the Man for Co. Clerk of Peoria Mr. Heinrich, who as made an exceptionally good record, should be returned again to the position he has so ably filled. Mr. Heinrich is one of the most obliging and courteous publicmen in Peoria. A liberal man and very charitable. No man has ever asked of him a reasonable favor without receiving it. It is very necessary to have a thoroughly competent, experienced man in this office, of which Mr. Heinrich is. Whenever the occasion has presented itself M. Heinrich has proven to the negroes of Peoria that he recognizes men on their worth and makes no difference in color or condition. Therefore on next Wednesqay you should vote for him to retain the position as your County Clerk. Will you do it? Historical State House "Be Ye Doers and not Sayers only."

Murrell and others, last Monday night to look after the celebration of the emancipation, Sept. 22, and no longer tolerate the desecration of the day to beer drinking and selfish agrandizements, by grafters and robbers. A robber is one who filchers from another, by deceit that which does not belong to him, (the robber.) Hence you who are robbers, will scream at this declaration, only.

Hippard Clerk of Appelate Court, 3rd District, Republican Candidate for Re-election J. Lawyers of the District Endorse His Candicacy for Re-election To William C. Hippard, clerk of the appellate court of this, the third appellate district of Illinois, has come an unusual compliment. Recognizing his faithfulness, efficiency and ability, the Republican lawyers of this district composed of thirty-five counties, have circulated among themselves a set of resolutions strongly endorsing Mr. Hippard for re-nomination and re-election. These resolutions were voluntarily circulated and signed by all of the Republican attorneys practicing in the court of which Mr. Hippard is the clerk. They are as follows: "The undersigned Republican members of the bar of the third appellate district of the state of Illinois, desire by means hereof to express our approval of the candidacy of Hon. William C. Hippard for re-election as clerk of the said court. "During the period of his incumbency of this office Mr. Hippard by his unfailing courtesy, attention to duty, and marked efficiency has won the respect confidence and gratitude of lawyers and litigants alike. He has at all times been the faithful accommodating and efficient servant of the people of this district, and ever devoted to the business committed to his care. He has spared no palms to render every possible assistance to those having business in this court, and his administration of its business has been so effective that complaints have been unknown. Believing that for this record of efficiency and usefulness, Mr. Hippard has well earned a re-nomination and re-election and that the public welfare will be best serves thereby, we therefore by this means— "Resolve, that we express our unqualified approval of the administration of the office of clerk of the appellate court of the third district of Illinois by Hon William C. Hippard; and further— "Resolve, that we hereby commend and approve his candidacy for re-election to said office and express the earnest hope that said candidacy will receive the endorsement of the voters of this district." Mr. Hippard's friends declare that this action on the part of the members of the bar speak eloquently of him as a public official. They say that it shows that among those coming into closest contact with him, his administration of this important office is commended and approved and that his faithfulness, efficiency and evident desire to serve the people well has always been manifest to those having business in this court, which in importance, ranks second only to the supreme court of the state. 6 20 Cents per Month) BOAT EXCURSION A boat excursion was pulled off Monday eve, by Mr. Greenshaw and a large crowd went up the Illinois river. What do you suppose—when we got to Peoria and were going down south Adams street, that beautiful Pennsylvania-like avenue, we looked and behold the same moon we left down at Lincoln was right here apparently to fall into the Illinois river, you can't lose the moon, like Banquois' ghost, the moon will not down. Rev. B. N Murrell, is attending the Diamond Jubilee at Alton this week. DAUGHTERS GOING ASTRAY Peoria Mothers, it is your duty look after your daughter closer, be more careful in the training don't let them go to all sorts of places and with all sorts of company. After they reach majority if you have done your duty your consciences are clear. There are several in this town who are waiting their sweetness on the desert air and their mothers who think you love, have their bloodstains on your foreheads, you shall be required to give an account of them. If you allow them to go astray ere they are sixteen or eighteen how are they to get good husband or any at all?

NOTICE A lot of you people, who are so anxious to see colored enterprises succeed, in order that your boys and girls can get jobs, ought to come up, occasionally, and pay some on your bill—not all—pay some. A lot of you sensitive people were very hurt because we tried to get some of our bills collected through the agency, now we withdrew the agency or told them to let you alone, and yet you have not paid us, or them. How do you people ever expect, or hope, to get to heaven when you die?

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. SIMEON KECK. Buffalo. 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 unfortunately must appear in court, will not suffer by my neglect. G. W. MURRAY.

Dr. Buxton is out for the nomination for representative, 28 Sen. Dist. Logon, Dewitt and Macon Counties. You people of Decatur, don't forget Judge McCoy for County Judge. He is the kind of a man you want, a fair, impartial, fearless Judge- You can get all of the colored papers at T. R. Thompson's Studio, 11th and Washington street. Our friend, the Optimist, for its age, is no doubt, doing as any other business. The Hub is the only colored job printing office in the city, if the "citizen" is gone. The Forum has never claimed to operate a job printing office, neither have we said anything derogatory or untrue of any other person. We are sure our friend, the Hub man, did not aim for his type to say, as a matter of fact that, he has the largest city circulation, the largest number of colored employees, and pays out more wages annually than all other colored papers in Springfield combined. He did not aim to make such a statement, we are sure, for such a statement is not true. It is true that he has, so far as we know, the best colored job office in a radius of 60 miles of here, but as to the newspaper, we are not quite ready for the question, and too, the old plain truth will guard and guide you over the blood stained path of the Journalistic route, with far more certainty, than mere assertions, that will not stand verification. Mr. Monte's castigation of the advertising thief is more than well said, but the class of persons to whom he had specific reference are not worth the space given. It is a singular fact that there are few negroes who really know anything about business. As he said of those specifically, we dare to say of the colored man, generally, they have conceptions, but not very lofty business conceptions. They will deliberately lie about an ad after stealing the use of it and then say they did not want it and ask you to stop it before they pay. Such thieves should be made to "pay as you enter." Even into Hades, where they can but pay as they enter. The average colored man in business has not got sense enough to advertise, any way. This is strong, but true, we are not afraid of you, you wont do anything. The price of radium may go up to a billion dollars an ounce if the war continues long. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Then how much radium can you get for a nickle? What size vessel would it require to hold a dimes worth of this precious something? The Forum is making no special boasts, but going at it, against odds, trying to deliver the "goods." What we are doing will tell on itself. We will say this, and all will agree, that we are working up a creditable paper, with a large, varied class of readers. We believe to, that it can be easily proven, that we have the largest circulated paper edited and owned by colored people, in the state, outside of Chicago. We do not claim to have as large a number of subscribers as the Defender, The Idea, or the Broad Ax. The Truth, of Cairo has a fair circulation. But, excepting Chicago, we believe we are far in the lead. We employ (with agents counted) 10 persons. There is no question but that he will render the very best services at the capitol should he be honored with the toga he seeks. He has a large colored acquaintance, knowing practically all of the colored population, who speaks of Mr. Quisenberry in the very highest terms. The colored people receive the very best treatment at his hands and will, to a large degree, support him, if he gets the nomination, it said, on his worth, ability and fairness tor ward all men irrespective of colocreed. His, (Mr. Quisenberry's) reputation, is the very best. A. J. JONES, Peoria A. B. 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 class, color or religion. He will not ask a deputy to do anything he wouldn't do. The Illinois State Fair will be held in this City beginning September 18th and continuing for Eight Days. All preparation for visitors are being made and the exhibits and attractions will be superb. The early date is the hope of securing ideal fair weather. The mangement is working assiduously to retain the justified shibboleth "Greatest Fair on Earth," but to make it so requires the united co-operation of the entire state. It is not "Springfield's" fair but the state fair. Everybody are welcome. There will be convenience for all. Macon County Politics John W. Evans for County Judge John W. Evans, candidate for the republican nomination for county Judge, is a successful and competent young attorney, having practiced in the city of Decatur for about seven years. He was born and raised on a farm, and moved to Decatur with his parents when he was fifteen years old. He has always taken an active part in the affairs of the party, but has never before sought public office. He is making a vigorous campaign, and the prospects for his nomination are very favorable. John W. Evans, as a boy in Decatur, earned his way through the Decatur High School, carriying newspapers and doing other work that a boy could get. Later, he worked in a drug store after school hours, and was for a time a newspaper reporter. He compleeted a business course in Brown's Business College, and was for some time a stenographer in the office of the State's Attorney and began the study of law under W. E. Redmon, then State's Attorney. Being determined to secure the best possible education for the law, Mr. Evans entered the University of Iowa, where he worked his way through by acting as Secretary to the Dean of the Law College, and managing a students' boarding club. Mr. Evans graduated from the University in 1907, and was admitted to the Bar of Illinois. He was for some time associated with A. G. Weber in the practice of law, but not as a partner. In July, 1913, he formed a partnership with Fred Hamilton under the firm name of Evans & Hamiltnn. From his experience as a lawyer for the past seven years, and his preparation and legal training, Mr. Evans is eminently qualified for the position of County Judge. His struggle to secure an education, and association with those who have had to make their own way in the world, has given him a broad and sympathetic view of human life. Evans would make a fair, impartial and just Judge, and merits the support of the voters of his party. Dunbar books Dunbar books, Dunbar books, at the Forum office and J.P. Roberts shoe store.

W. H. Andrew Russel of Jacksonville, Illinois, who is seeking the Republican nomination for State Treasurer held that office in 1909-10. Along with other Republicans he was defeated in 1912. Mr. Russel has been in the banking business for forty years and is throughly familiar with the financial interests and needs of Illinois. Identified with the Republican party since young manhood, he has taken an active part in politics for years and is known in every county in Illinois. He is past president of Illinois Bankers' association; has five times been city treasurer of Jacksonville; served six years as member of State Board of Pardons; has for a long period been identified with the educational interests of his home city, and with passing years has met the responsibilities of various positions in a manner entitling him to public confidence. In the present campaign Mr. Russel stands upon his record in public and private life. The office of treasurer in his hands would be able, efficiently and honestly managed.

THE REMEDY. It is true, we are often calling attention to the weaknesses of our people, young and old, high and low, preacher and laymen, but we do so because we see them, the weaknesses, so clearly and see the great harm these shortcomings are doing, we are not pessimistic at that, we always offer a remedy, for instance; Keep your children in school. We have, as it were, a school on every corner. Send them to the business colleges. Your argument that they will not be able to get work is erroneous. Let them not start out so soon worshipping fine clothes, attending every dance and picnic, train them at home, teach them how to cook, to sew, to iron, to keep house and to preserve their health. Do you do it? Teach them morality and chastity. Some will stray away at any cost, but not many, and too, you have done your duty. Impress upon your boy and girl, the fact that honesty, sobriety and prudence lead to health, wealth, and longevity, and who is he that desires not these? Begin early and when they shall have reached 16, if their ancestry is not too corrupt, they will bring forth fruit worthy of your labors. School has opened, and let not one boy or girl under 16, be found out of school. If they are compelled to work, let them attend night school or business college. And young men, if you desire to preach, go to school and get a foundation, or, if you are preaching already and find you are not competent, get you to the library daily and feed your brain and mind, for you are robbing the people and damning yourself. No, we are the best friends our young people have we consider ourselves, even until now, a boy, and see our lack in preparation commensurate with or to, the work which lies before us and which we feel impelled to do, hence our warnings to you. We see the great barren fields to be supplied with capable young men and women we see rich fertile Africa lying waiting, crying for you and telling you to come prepared. Verily, the harvest is great and the laborers are few. There will be plenty of work for them that are willing, prepared and honest. Honest men and women are precious jewels. The cry is Honesty and Efficiency. We endorse the Chicago Defender's editorial on; "Drive out the bullies and loafers," as well as what the Defender has to say against the actions of the police in "shooting up" that house in which Hogan had taken forcible refuge. The residents were not to blame because a desperate negro had run pell mell into their midst. The police are too quick to go wild after a bad negro and thereby make things worse. As the Defender says, first be calm and use good judgment, a man's home is his castle. Use all the power the law allows to break up loafing and stealing and there will not be so much killing.

When I came before you four years ago and asked you to elect me to my present position, I promised you to give to the office my best efforts, I have faithfully performed my duties to the best of my ability and have disposed of over 2500 cases during my administration and have given the people of Springfield a good clean Election Commission. In regard to the Juvenile Department, I have disposed of over 900 cases and have at all times stood with the children and opposed sending them to State Institutions except as a last resort. I have made a careful study of Child Welfare and I do not believe in sending children to Institutions when all they need is a spanking administered by their mother. I stand opposed to bringing small children into Court and making a criminal record against them. I took my stand four years ago and I take it now, well knowing that I am opposed by a great many so called sociological workers who can give you a beautiful theoretical system but cannot make the system fit practical every day cases. I have organized a Day Nursery where working mothers may leave their small children during working hours where they will have all comforts of a well established home and absolutely no cost to them, thus keeping the child from bad influence while the mother is earning a livelihood for the family. I ask your support at the coming primary and election if nominated, so that I may go on and finish my plans that are now just being put into operation. and you FREE H today for a testing bo you FREE PERFUME day for a testing bottle of Let me send you FREE PERFUME Write today for a testing bottle of ED.

An Open Letter to the Colored Voters of Illinois Why the Colored People should be and are for Andrew Russel for State Treasurer Dear Voter;—On the 9th day of September you are called upon to vote for the various state and county officers. You have the privilege to vote for whom you believe the best man; you generally use your best judgment. Most men aim to select the fittest men. Men who, when elected, will give courteous treatment to the public, whose servants they are; men of integrity and worth. Therefore we take this method in soliciting your attention to and support of the candidacy of Andrew Russel of Jacksonville for the said office. We know Mr. Russel both personally, politically and as a business man, and can say truthfully that we believe he is the man for you to vote for, because he is a man of unblemished character, liberal in his views and without prejudice regarding a man's religion, creed, race, color or previous condition of servitude. He is a republican politically and a true one, a republican of the old school who recognizes men on their worth and integrity and accords to every man, black or white, rich or poor, the hand of fellowship. He is a liberal man to all worthy causes and a pioneer in the development of our educational institutions in Jacksonville. A vote for Andrew Russell is a vote for a good man. For State Treasurer mark your ballot thus: State Treasurer ANDREW RUSSELL MAGON COUNTY Yours truly, E. L. Re Editor Sp COUNTY POL Everytiing is Astor Chas. S. Troutman, republican of Macon County, was born and reared was lived on the farm his entire life farms in Macon County and made aOWN brow, and honestly. His father died when he (Chas. S.

He is said to be the best auctioneer Macon Co. ever had. Mr. the highest integrity; whatever he highly respected and liked by all county and the colored people of county speak of him in the very that his motto in dealing with men is every man accorded the same re square deal to all." Roce. color or with according a man justice and his hands. He further assures the coloredponent part of the county, that, if affected, and if they rally to his cause, and considered. In short Mr. Troutman appears to be—he is compaeant and we believe nation. If the republicans want a riff, Troutmen seems to be the only one. He is also a man popular with de republicans from one end of Macon County. S. Troutman For Shire Troutman, republican candidate of city, was born and reared in that the farm his entire life; he has orion County and made it by the end honestly. He died when he (Chas. S.) was he began to look out for himself man truly believes that he can but is seriously in doubt about the of his two opponents even if one him for the nomination, and gaudy has been connected with the public offices for 10 gears or more that account, while Mr. McGorrair with certain classes for well known been sheriff before, while he, Mr. and a higher office than road comm to be the best auctioneer and renter Co. ever had. Mr. Troutman integrity; whatever he says is acted and liked by all of the people the colored people of Decatur of him in the very best term in dealing with men is this, "Ever accorded the same respect as he all." Roce. color or creed has being a man justice and impartial assures the colored people, where of the county, that, if he is not if they rally to his cause, they should. Mr. Troutman appears to be absurd, impudent and we believe entitled to the republicans want a sheriff of the town seems to be the only chance. A man popular with democrats as one end of Macon Co. to the other Chas. S. Troutman For Sheriff. Chas. S. Troutman, republican candidate for sheriff of Macon County, was born and reared in that county and has lived on the farm his entire life; he has one of the best farms in Macon County and made it by the sweat of his own brow, and honestly. His father died when he (Chas. S.) was but 12 years old and rt 16 he began to look out for himself. Ms. Troutman truly believes that he can be elected if nominated, but is seriously in doubt about the chances of either one of his two opponents even if one of the two should defeat him for the nomination, and gives this reason: Mr. Tandy has been connected with the sheriff's office and other public offices for 10 gears or more and is being criticised on that account, while Mr. McGorray is quite aged, unpopular with certain classes for well known reasons, and, too, has been sheriff before, while he, Mr. Troutman has never held a higher office than road commissioner and auctioneer. He is said to be the best auctioneer and road commissioner Macon Co. ever had. Mr. Troutman is a man of the highest integrity; whatever he says is gospel; he is highly respected and liked by all of the people of the county and the colored people of Decatur and Macon county speak of him in the very best terms. He avers that his motto in dealing with men is this, "Every man np; every man accorded the same respect as he merits it; a square deal to all." Roce. color or creed has nothing to do with according a man justice and impartial treatment at his hands. He further assures the colored people, who are a component part of the county, that, if he is nominated and elected, and if they rally to his cause, they snail be recognized and considered. In short Mr. Troutman appears to be abshlutely honest—he is compeaent and we believe entitled to the nomination. If the republicans want a sheriff of their political faifh, Troutmun seems to be the only chance. He is also a man popular with democrats as well as Republicans from one end of Macon Co. to the other. We rest the case with you, voter. ```markdown ``` X E. L. ROGERS, Editor Forum, Springfield, Ill. POLITICS. THE GREAT REWARD Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. St. Matthew 5:13. This Sunday talk is not intended for those of our readers who are perfectly happy, although it will do them no injury to read it. It is easy for one who has every thing needed to make life happy to rejoice and be exceeding glad. But it does not follow that they always do rejoice. It is for those who do not rejoice and ore not exceeding glad, that this Sunday Talk is intended. But if person, in this land of peace and plenty, should rejoice. Why not? The question answers itself—there is no reason. Too many people spend their time in regretting, in lamenting, in sighing, in being careful and troubled about many things that, in themselves, are of little or no importance, or very little value, when a great reward is within their reach. Some people go mourning all their days, when joy and gladness would be illuminating their souls if they would only let them in. Some people sigh and grieve over disappointments and misfortunes. when they could be glad and rejoice over blessings and promises. Some people mourn over their afflictions, complain about their persecutions, weep over their woes, and deplore their deprivations, while all around them they can find evidences of tender mercies, loving kindnesses and bountiful benefactions, which should make their hearts glad. When the Master spoke the words that head this Sunday Talk He was not talking to people who were prosperous, nor was He holding out to them prospects of earthly prosperity. These are but transitory, and while they may add to our comfort and usefulness, they too frequently lead to forgetfulness of greater blessings and to failure to partake of those perennial fountains of gladness, which have their source in the depths of a satisfied soul, and their outlet in the flowing streams of blessings which refresh and cheer, invigorate and strengthen, It is a good deal easier to rejoice and be glad if one only will realize it, than to lament and complain. We do not mean to say that it requires less effort. One may yield to unhealthy, unwise emotions without any effort, but that does not lessen the burden. But one may come into the Light that shines for all just as easily and find therein joy and gladness. The Master was speaking about those in tribulation when He said: "Rejoice and be exceeding glad." The Bible declares and exderience teaches us that however heavy may be the affliction or the ribulation, lamenting only adds to the burden, complaining only increases the load to be carried. There is no reward to any soul in living gloomily in the shadows. There is no promise of relief to any heart that keeps on repining. This world is a mighty good world to live in. Look around and see—reach out and feel. The Creator has provided for man's every need, temporal and spiritual. Behind every cloud that may appear dark to the vision, is a silver lining. Behind every spiritual doubt is a golden promise, and these should bring joy to the heart and soul. There is ample reason for rejoicing and being glad because of the earthly rewards that come from the experience. To rejoice and be glad brings hopefulness here. They lead to comfort and contentment, "not only to the one who lives on Easy street," as the saying is, but as well to the teiler in the coal mines or at the desk. But the great reward is the one the Master promises: "Rejoice and be exceeding glad," said He, "for great is your reward in Heaven." The great reward was not on account of the tribulations, but on account of the way they were borne. "Who are these in bright array?" said the apostle to an angel who was showing him of an innumerable host in Heaven. The angel replied, "these are they who have come out of great tribulations," who had followed the Master's command to "rejoice and be exceeding glad." The duty to rejoice and be glad is plain. The compensation is ample and the reward hereafter is great. Lef us therefore endure to the end. Let us be cheerful and rejoice. The world is ours to enjoy even in the midst of tribulations. There is no reward that can come to the hearts and souls of men and women as that which comes from cheerfuless, that comes to those who are glad and rejoice with exceeding great joy. Ill.

He has never been known to stop to any questionable methods in discharging his duties. He does not play the favoritism game but goes about his duty as a man.

A REVIVAL OF THE CHURCHES What we are desirous of seeing in Springfield is a revival of the churches. Not a so called "revival" or protracted meeting, extra lights wasted and superfluous prayers. A real wakening. Our ministers taking higher grounds, promulgating high ideals, making the finances secondary, but obligatory. Get the people interested because of the real interest. Tell them something. People wake up, pay your churches out of debt, repair them and feed your lambs. Why fear not, good minister, is God not omnipotent? Napoleon made way for liberty and though defeated at Waterloo and died on St. Helena's Island, has hitherto, the reputation of being the greatest warrior the world ever saw.

Miss Ailcia Smith, who has been visiting in Columbus, Ky, has returned home in order to enter the Junior year High School. Quite a few young people are now enrolled at the Springfield High School. We hope they will do the race credit and do nothing tending to cause adverse comment by the people. Mrs. Emma Goin entertained at dinner last Monday, Aug. 31, at her home in Harvard Park, Mrs. Chas. Bibbs of Centralia, Ill., was honoree. The guests were: Mrs. Rev. Jones, Mrs. Hillier, Mrs. Bibbs and Mrs. John Wilson. The hostess is to be complimented on her graciousness as an entertainer. Friends of Rev. R. M. McDowell of Hannibal, Mo., were shocked to receive the sad intelligence of the death of his son, Ed. T. McDowell of Hannibal. Mr. McDowell, a pharmacist, was well known and liked among a large circle of people. He suffered severe burns from the explosion of a lamp, and died from the injuries. He was but a young man not yet 25 years of age and was just entering the best sphere of life. Truly the poet was wise when he said, "For the reaper moweth ever where the brighest flower groweth." His death occurred Sunday, August 31 and funeral services were held in Hannibal, Mo. Monday, after which the body was shipped to another city for burial. He leaves many friends and admirerers in this vicinity who sincerely mourn his loss. Mrs. Ecgene Jones and little daughter Charlotte lef recently for a fortnight's visit with friends and relatives in Chicago. Miss America Lane, who has been visiting friends and relatives in the city, has gone to Chicago for a visit before returning to her home in Oklahoma. While in this city Miss Lane was honoree at a party given by Miss Edith Asey, and was guest at many other social functions. Chas. Brandon spent the week end in Atlanta, Ill. Leonard Grady spent last Sunday in Decatur. You boys in Decatur had better keep a strict watch on him because he usually wins when he enters a contest, and we are told he is in the race for a certain lady in the north part of the city. Mme M.

Miss Marie Asey, who has accepted a position as teacher in the public schools of Chicago, has gone to that city to begin her duties. We wish her much success. Miss Ruth Davis, who has been in this city spending her vacation with her parents, has returned to her school.

You who are voting in the democratic primary vote for Murray Murray is O. K. and they are trying to beat him, don't let 'em. MRS. A. L. Stewart of Chicago is visiting her daughter and other friends and acquaiuienances in the city. REAL CITIZENSHIP We are oftime asked the question, what does it take to make a real citizen of any country or place. In my estimation to be a real citizen of a place or country, one must own "REAL ESTATE" and personal property. If a man owns a home he is most likely to become identified with the welfare of the community in which he lives. No man can be considered a true and real citizen who does not own his home and accumulate wealth. He is not stationary, that is, he has no settled habitation. If one has no fixed home, he will be moving from place to place and will not take any interest in the welfare of the country. More or less his whole aim wil be to get all he can out of the community in which he lacates without contributing to its uplift. To be a true and real citizen one must be law abiding and should be a tax payer and a voter where he makes his permanent home. When one owns property his credit is considered good. The banks will loan him money on safe property. So I would advise you young men to save your money and buy all the property you can by so doing you will place yourselves among the best men of the community in which you live. Young men, by saving your money, in a very short while you can pay for a home. The person who owns his home is an independent man or woman. There is nothing like a home of your own. When you begin to get homes and acquire wealth other races will respect you. They feel that you will take an interest in the welfare and uplifting of the country. Buy land where ever you can, classify yourselves, go into business. Every nationality but the negro has classified themselves and are doing good business in this country in the way of citizenship. They are buying themselves homes and indentifying themselves with the interest of the country, and thereby they have already pushed themselves a head of the Negro of this country, in demanding recognition from the government. Nothing but real and true citizenship will demand recognition. If you own your home you will feel independent and truly you are an independent man, you will feel free to take an active part in any public issue that may come up in the state affection the citizen's interest. If you have nothing at stakes you are not likely to care how the issue may go. So to identify yourselves with true citizenship, buy homes and live a true life to God, to your family and to your neighbors. It is the duty of every American citizen to show that he takes an interest in the affairs of the community in which he lives. If one is a non-property owner, he will not likely have very much interest in the affairs of his country. Young men let me impress upon you this fact, save your money and buy for yourselves a home. Education, wealth and the true love of God in your hearts will be a great factor in solving the great Race Problem which is now agitating the minds of the Caucasian race. In reading many of the news papers, we frequently find the question; "What must be done with the Negro?" He does not own his home and takes no interest in the welfare of the community in which he lives." This would not be so, if the young men of the Negro race would acquire for themselves Real Estate. Young men settle down in life and make yourselves useful law-abiding citizens. S. H. Boykin.
