THE FORUM News by Correspondents Gathered by The Forum's Live Force of Special Correspondents VOL. 10. NO. 44 News by Co Gathered by The Forum's Live DECATUR (By Special Staff Correspondents) One of the most sane, enthusiastic and harmonious republican meetings ever before known, was held in the Circuit Court room last week, and the indications point to harmony, the reuniting of the republican forces and consequently, republican success. The out look is fine. Decatur colored people are proud to see such young men as Atty. S. T. Clanton, Dr. H. C. Buster, Dr. Parker, C. L. Watkins, Clarence and J. H. Johnson, Wm. Hammond, Max Bledsoe, Elsworth Dansby, Edward Jacobs, Chas. Lawrence, forging to the front and making a showing; there are also, other young men worthy of note, young men who have aims in life, among whom are, Joel Motley, George Trice, John Ammons, Mr. Ricks, Mr. Muscavally, Fred Evans, Mr. Stringer, Mr. Collins, Mr. Steward, and many others, mention of whom will appear in our Decatur page, later. Among the enterprising business men who are working and have worked hard to help make a showing for Decatur are:—H. Singleton, Mack Jones, A. Ward, A. Page, Robt. Rogan, plumber, A. D. Cecil, Mr. Jones, who is reputed to be the wealteiest colored man in the company, W. H. Robinson, A. L. Nickens, who has a success in the grocery business, E. R. Brown, A. Clark, barbers, The Busy Bee Parlor, Mr. Chase, David Hunt, J. W. Woodford and others. Yes Sis, Decatur is progressing. You have enterprising ministers and your churches are doing better than the average. A. L. Nickens and son left last week for St. Louis, to spend a few days of rest. What is needed, and what will help Decatur, is a good news paper to encourage and keep the best things done among our people up. Editing and operating newspapers is no trilie, it takes a lot of push, money and patience, you can't run separate colored papers in every city where they are needed. The Forum has run in Decatur ever since it began in Spring of 1904, and finds Decatur people to be among the best people in the state with whom we have come in contact, and to give Decatur a better news service we are planning to, and will, with the co-operating if the business, professional and enterprising colored people, some time during this month, open a branch office in Decatur where the Decatur people can get all of the news. A girl can be employed to look after the Decatur news, the collecting and the office work. A whole page of the paper will be set aside for Decatur in which our business ```markdown ``` Published Weekly in Springfield and Peoria Historical Society State House Single Copy, 5e. 6 Months, 80c) Published Correspondents Force of Special Correspondents men can take space for ads. If this is done we assure you that you will appreciate it and find that Decatur will go forward with great rapidity. Also, the true functions of a paper is to mould sentiment, to advise and teach, to act as a roman sentinel. Guard the city. Well this is our plans, when we come around for your ads give us them and help us to help boost Decatur and great will be your reward, here in Decatur. Among those who attended the Diamond Jubilee at Alton were; Rev. J. A. Crockett, Rev. R. B. Parham and Rev. A. Ward. Mrs. Mack Jones was indisposed last week with a cold. Mrs L. E. Motley, 1250 East Sangamon St. entertained a few of her friends last Thursday evening. Great strides are being made on the new Powers building. Mrs. Clarence Johnson returned this week from Alton, where she has been on a visit. A bold attempt at robbery was made on Mr. E. R. Brown last week by a former employee the man was caught under the bed, and when apprehended by the officers, made a high dive from the side sky light window a distance of 20 ft. into the rear of the barbershop and thence into the basement where he surrendered and was incarcerated. Mr. Brown called on him at his, (the would be robber's request,) at the jail and interviewed the man, in a vain attempt to ascertain the correct motive of the fellow. He claims he intended to wait until Mr. and Mrs. Brown had gone to sleep and steal their money and jewelry. The man is not a fit person to run at large. Now, when the Decatur office of the Forum shall have been opened up let all boost, it will help you. We will need a young lady to look after business and a young man or some sort of man to assist in getting ads and writing subscribers up. Don't wait, send in your name, amt., and address. Hon. F. G. BLAIR Renominated for Superintendent of Public Instruction Be Ye Doers and not Sayers only. SPRINGFIELD AND PEORIA, ILLINOIS, SATUR Weekly in Spring OLD AND PEORIA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY kly in Springs PEORIA, ILL Mrs. Mansfield Booze was somewhat indisposed this week. The storm played havoc for awhile last Tuesday evening. The water made a pool at the Jefferson Hotel. Mr. Jas. Finch spent part of this week at Springfield with the Shriners. Dr. Zeller for Congress. Dr. Zeller is the most competent man, it appears. The Forum has a larger Peoria circulation than any other colored paper. Now this is no "brag," if we are in error we stand ready to be corrected. The 7th warders held a rousing political meeting, Sept. 3rd. Ed Neal was one of the leaders and promoters. Mr. Neal is ok. Drs. Ford, Ellis, and Brune took in that boat excursion. Wonder how they find out when all of the "swell" things are to be? Mrs. Hattie Crews, of 916 6th Ave. spent the past 10 days in St. Louis. TAYLORVILLE Mrs. Wm. Carter was on the sick list the first of last week. she is much improved and she and Lieut. Carter went to Litchfield Sunday morning to remain over Monday and attend a family reunion held at Taylor Brewington's. Miss Celestine Carter has been giving very a satisfactory stenography work to Supt. of Schools for the past few weeks. Miss Gladys Evans of Paris was visiting her parents of this city last week. She returned Monday. Mrs. Grace Reed departed for Altamont Friday to attend the Camp Meeting that was being held there by the Adventist church. She returned by way of Springfield Tuesday. Elwood Long of Decatur was a visitor in the City Sunday. Several from here attended a labor day picnic held at the country home of Wm. Smith west of the city. They reported having a very enjoyable time, as they always do when Mr. and Mrs. Smith entertains. The fifty thousand dollar united Presbyterian church which has just been completed was dedicated Sunday. All the churches in the city were invited to attend There was an indebtedness of several thousand, and at the morning service in less than three-quarter s of an hour the required sum was raised. The church is very beautiful and has a seating capacity of one thousand. And in the back the government building will soon be erected. Gabriel Darwin represented our church and race and contributed ten dollars, which they thanked him for and said when we were ready to build they would help us, at it is the Presbyterian people have been very liberal when we have had occasion to ask for help. Don't miss the ball at Masonic hall Monday evening.

It is nick and tuck which set of "boys" are the finer looking, the Jefferson hotel or the Creve Couer. "Them Jefferson hotel boys are peaches," of course there may be a pumpkin or two and a good among them. Decatur is determined to make a show in the business world. Bloomington has not even a grocery store. Shame on you. Our ministers should touch on these essentials occasionally. It is your duty as much as anything else, you should be real leaders, counselors and deplomatits, not mere shadows and "parasites." As a newspaper, we are honestly and sincerely, trying to aid our people in going forward and elevating themselves, and by so doing, we are sure they will become better men, women and Christians. Peoria is coming to the front. She is tired of this state of inertia in which she has lain so supinely so long, she is progressive and her Negroes see that it is foolish to be "goodtiming" all the time and making no show; they are buying homes, (colored people dress fine or too fine everywhere,) and have decided to go into business. The idea, we have not a shoe repairing shop even, shame on us, a town of 75,000 or 80,000 persons. To argue that Peoria cant or will not maintain a few Negro grocery stores, a furniture store, a first rate barbershop or two, with well equipped bath rooms, a laundry, a drug store, a lawyer, a millinery and shoe store, is to reflect on the intellegence of Negro; it is also, erroneous to make the statement. Most people will not allow you to insinuate that Peoria can't do what any other city or town does. Did you see that colored band come marching down the street, in that labor day parade, with suits a la galore? A liberal reward is offered for John Jackson's hat, which was unlawfully and feloneously taken from him. The ordinance forbidding children under 16 on the streets after 8 o'clock, is very timely indeed. "The line" has resumed normal normal business, under an improved method, however. The effort being put forth to have a free for all emancipation at Glen Oak Park is timely. Did you ever see "q" trying to spell anything without you (u)? Candidates may congratulate themselves on one thing, viz: they get a lot of callers and letters and "cussing." It's no little thing to be a candidate, especially in Peoria and Springfield where there are given several emancipations, balls, picnics and so forth, for the glorification of the candidates, gratuitously and with impetuosity. DOES THE SUN MOVE? Scientists say is doesn't, and prove what they aver from a given premise or mathematical formula. John Jacob Jasper, an "imlettered" Negro preacher, of Richmond, Va., said, "It may be a mystery, but sun does move." The scientisis are in the majority, tho majorities are not always right. We all believed, once, that the sun moved. In Joshua it is writ: "For the space of an hour the sun did stand still on Nebo's hill." If a thing does not move it has no need to be ordered to halt, but this is not for argument. We leave all arguments to baseball fans and the umpire. This is for discussion or reflection. What is the moon, and from whence did she come? High school "preps" get busy. Miss B. D. Terrell, clerk and bookkeeper for the Mt. Pulaski, Ill. Coal Co., was in the city Sunday and had us send up the Forum, Miss avers that the that the coal company is doing well. She is one of the young ladies who took a business course in high school and you see she got employment don't you? Prepare and you shall not loaf. It's all ill wind that blows nobody good. Victoriano Huerta has gone over to London and became converted into christianity, or something else. Every candidate seems to think that the attacking and abusing of his opponent is the SINE QUO NON method by which he will succeed. Whenever a man becomes a candidate you may expect him to give whoever is against him the devil. But what's the difference? Each one gives the other what the other gives each one. Why is it you seldom see dead cats lying around? "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heave ladened, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Isn't this a great consolation? Life is uncertain, but death is inevitable. But you ought to see that colored drug store. --- Election Now Looked Forward To Election Now Looked Forward To Primaries not much of a surprise in the main—Sherman, Sullivan and Robins for United States Seuator. Sangamon County results no surprise on republican side Blair re-nominated for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Graham re-nominated. For State Treasurer, Andrew Russel was victorious. The fight is on. There were not so many surprises in this county on the republican side. The progressives made little headway in the primaries. The re-nomination of Judge Weaver was a little in doubt but the Judge made a thorough, clean appeal and had a large number of good supporters and workers; his opponent is a man, of good standing, but was not well known and was late in the race Judge Weaver assures his friends of his appreciation of their support and says, even though he has opposition from two angels, he is still a staunch republican. The main thing is now a solid phalanx presented for the success of the party. The Forum sees no need why it can't consciously support the nominees now. All we ask is fair treatment. Those against whom our people have real or imaginary grievances should should clarify things and start out clean handed and with an understanding. That is our position. That there are good men on the democratic ticket is without question, but the question is: which party is the better. Hon. J. G. Cannon was re-nominated over a young man who lived at Danville, Rodenburg and McKinley had no opposition. Sterling of the 17th was re-nominated. Zeller of the 16th, Peoria was nominated and C. U. Stone was nominated. It looks like a republican gain in the Legislature and the National House. Sherman will be re-elected, it is predicted. The democrats will now line up for 1916 and swamp influences, if the H. H. Dunne factions can't compromise and assuage their differences, Sullivan will stand slight chances of success otherwise his chances are considerable. In Lincoln Sheets won for sheriff and and Houston and Ryan won their respective offices. The fight was spirited.

C.'s 2 hits and getting 10 strike outs, while his errorless support deserves much praise. The old reliable Capt. Wright made a wonderful running catch. Consler will soon have Johnson's title if Johnson dont get busy, and that Geo. Jones is after Poston in short, and that boy sure knows when and how to hit that ball for sale drives.
