THE Gathered by The Forum's Live Force of Special Correspondents VOL. 10. NO. 4 News by Co Gathered by The Forum's Live PEORIA PEORIA LIBERTY ASSO- CIATION CELEBRATES EMANCIPATION The Forum:On Sept. 22 the above organization pulled off one of the most uniqued celebrations ever known in this part of our great state. In spite of a cool rainy day, the program was carried out to the letter. This organization recently come to being for the purpose of celebrating that great act of the immortal Lincoln which freeded three and a half millions of Negroes, issued on Sept. 22,1862, to take effect Jan. 1, 1863. A large crowd of our people turned out on this occasion and joined the parade which began at Co. K's hall and went down Fulton St. to Adams and from Adams to Main and up Main to Glen Dale. Five automobiles followed in the rear of the parade with the Chairman Rev. B. N. Murrell, the speakers, and committee chairman. The association planned to bring the best Negro citizens of Peoria together in this great event in order that we might prove to the public that the Negro could celebrate their emancipation without begging the money and inviting politicians to make the speeches on this occasion. Such an act is only a mild form of very cheap graft, anyway. In order to do this kind of contemplated celebration only one way was possible, and that was to unite the Negro churches in the offort. A number of letters was sent out to some fifty or more men to meet at Co. K's hall for a conference. All the Negro ministers of the city responded, except, the Rev. S. P. Jones. He refused to take any part or have anything to do with the movement. However those loyal and tried members, the very life and soul of ward chapel, A. M. E. Church joined with members from Mt. Zion and St. Paul Baptist churches on this grand occasion. The movement was a success from start to finish. Everybody is happy today because for once that great event was celebrated in its true spirit and because a standard has been set that will ever be a credit to the negro citizens of Peoria. Everybody is happy because that eye, sore character the politician, who has ever been present on former occasions of this kind was conspicuous by his absent- The average politician of our day is a goody good fellow to the Negro, but during Campaign time Everybody is happy because no political money had any part in the celebration. Everybody is very happy because the Negro citizens of Peoria have shown that things may be done worth while when they are united.

Let us unite our forces men. The emancipation program was fitting and timely. After an introductory address by the chairman Rev. B. N. Murrell, which was a power plea for Negro oneness in doing big things, Rev. W. M. Hayes of St. Paul Baptist Church led in one of the most fitting inocations for the occasion I have ever heard. Mrs. J. M. Sheppard read Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in a manner that was self-explanatory of her ability. When one hears this women he will no longer wonder about her son, Mr. Douglas Sheppard taken a degree last June from the University of Ill. Mr. C. S. Ruff delivered an address on "The Negro in business." Your correspondent had the subject "Educational Progress of Negro." The Main speaker of the day was the Rev. Cyrus Lindell of Kansas City, on the subject, "The Political Emancipation of the Negro." Rev. Lindell is a scholar of ability and his address was indeed a treat. He handled the subject well and dropped many a suggestiod. The speaker was cheered time and time again during the address, we need men of his ability among us and I hope he may remain in Illinois and make his home. Let us keep him here. He is an orator of national fame, a good preacher, and a christian gentleman and ripe scholarshipp. The Richardson's band let in the parade and furnished good music all along the way and at Glen Oak Park. The band was ably assisted by the Federal Quartette. This band is a credit to the Negro citizens in Peoria. Boys, go forward in the musical world because music is a part of the life of any people The longings of the people can often be more effectively told in music. The Quartette did good work and every lover of song must be a lover of these young men. S. A. Askew M. D. 110 Lincoln Ave. Miss Gertrude Nelson attended the state fair. Thos. Roundtree says that he will be in shape next season with an up-to-date base ball team, they have their own ball park arranged for and will be prepared to accommodate the various teams with games.

Woodson continues to improve his barbershop. The Ward Chapel A. M. E. church has made much headway under Rev. Jones and they want him back. L. J. Gauss and Mr. Heinrich received large majorities, showing special popularity. --- FORUM Be Ye Doers and not Sayers only. SPRINGFIELD AND PEORIA, ILLINOIS, SATU Weekly in Spring The State Convention was well attended, Mr. Kinney, of Peoria, was chosen head of the State Central Committee. Ross Howell is yet on the sick list. The Political headquarters of the republicans have been opened at 124 Jefferson St. The "Col" (Fred Hopkins,) is there, you can't keep the "Col" from Republican headquarters, what is the matter with you? Rev. Jones leaves next week for the annual Conference at Jacksonville, Ill. In the approaching campaign there should be mudslinging whatever. The nominees are the peoples' references and there should be fights within party lines. All should work together harmoniously and great results will be the resultant. Quite an enjoyable social was given at Mrs Butler's last week by the young folks. Eurek Court of Calanthe No. 38 met on the 28 Inst. for the purpose of adding two more members to their Roll. After Initiation a nice luncheon was served by Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Whitmore. Menu; fried chicken, Potato salad, celery, queen olives, ice cream and cake, black coffee.

The Aapers fail to report it, but the bride her-self was the one to tell the secret. The contracting parties were Miss Julia A. Steele, Assumption and Mr. S. T. Madison, Taylorville. How ever we wish them a successful --- BASE BALL Last Game The game last Suaday at the Thomas & Clarke's Park was a hard fought battle, ten innings was required and the score stood Thomas & Clarke 6, Union Giants 5, the former winning the East End championship. Poston in the ninth inning hurt his shoulder and was not able to finish the game, otherwise, it is believed, the Giants would have won. The Giants also charge that they were not given a fair deal in every instance by the umpires. It was a fine game, however, excepting a few squabbles and arguments. The Giants play tomorrow and close for the season. They have done excellent this season and made an eevitable record; a record which will be an asset in the "booking" for next season. Next season the Association contemplatef havin such teams here as Rube Foster's and the West Baden team. also other teams in the same class. The record made by Poston and Lonnie Jones is a credit to them, the team and our city. The other boys did well also. Dr. John A. Wheeler has opened headquarters in the Unity Building with Mr. Faxton, formerly private secretary to Ex-Gov. Deneen, in charge. Dr. Wheeler has an excellent suite of rooms. Republican headquarters have been opened on the second floor of the Unity Building and chairman, George E.

You can't compare "square" Mr. Register, any more round, red, perpendicular, straight, etc. Don't become so enthusiastic over politics as to forget your grammer and your rhetoric. We have often wondered if our contempory, the Register, is honest in its advocacy of democratic policies and measures. Of course there are good men and honest men, in all parties. No better men, individually, can be found than some men in Mississippi with a microscope, we would not be surprised were you to find some good in Vardaman. Let the Colored people of Peoria get to-gether and make Butts assure them that he will give them consideration and some recognition before helping to elect him. This is but fair. Don't elect him and then complain. The Negroes in Peoria want some of the deputy sheriff positions. They want recognition in other ways, let them make pre-election demands, not merely past election demands. Do this in all the counties, but don't be grafters before the election, if you do, you will get nothing. Chairman of the County Central Committee, Geo. E. Keys has selected his committees cautiously, mayhaps, too "cautiously". The finance committee is large and composed of the best and "ablest" men, in the county, but not a single colored man is on that or any other committee. If Mr. Keys starts out to "make good," so far as the "colored" end of it is concerned, by ignoring the colored man. We demand recognition in the G. O. P., of which we are a part. Mr. Walter Orendoff and Warren Bibbs of Lincoln were fair visitors last week. Farewell fair farewell, come again and don't hurry off so. The people say these Springfield people try to fake them is why more people don't come to the fair. The fair is over, the people are gone, now for the cold and the holidays. Oh yes, there comes old Thanksgiving day. How dear to the "heart" are thy recollections. The Negro is a factor in the Republican party and you just as well recognize this fact now, because it was largely, on the account of the Negro, in 1912, that this great party was torn assunder. Dr. Wheeler, in order to get a considerable portion of the negro vote must assure the Negroes that they may stop in Auburn and that Negroes will get recognition as deputies and janitors, etc., in case he is elected. These are the demands now current. For sale at Dave Hunt's Pantatorium, Decatur; The Crisis, The Freeman, New York Age, Chicago Defender, Boston Guardian and other colored papers.

It seems so very hard to interest our people in anything, to a great extent, but some-thing foolish or funny, we thought you wanted convenience. We have these on sale at Hotel Brown here. Colonel Roosevelt will err if he intends to stay in the Progressive party until he decapitates the republican party, in order that he may take the head of the republican party and make a head for the progressive party. The republican party is a party of eternal principal and is therefore not born to die. Out of Alabama there seems to have come, strange as it may seem, in the person of Hon. Jos. C. Manning, another Wendill Phillips. Manning, tho from Alabama, champions every right for the negro, guaranteed by the constitution of these United States. There seems to be some tangible friction between the U. S. and Turkey. The Turkish Ambassador informed President Wilson that what he had said he had said, and that he (the Turk.) would not alter his averment, but he would leave Washington. There seems to have been some criticism of the treatment received from the Turks by the Americans and other christians and the Ambassador informed Mr. Bryan that the U. S. administered the "water cure" to the Phillipino and lynched Negroes indiscriminately and even innocent men, and therefore was not in a position to tell the Ottoman government where to "get off." Mr. Bryan and President Wilson did not like the tone of the gentleman from Constantinople and ask him to retract, but he would not retract, but would go home. The first thing you know we will be engulfed in a great war, fighting everything from balloon up and the end will be far to see. PROF. E. C. HAMILTON E. C. Hamilton has been appointed assistant principal of the Sumner H gh School, Cairo. Ill., having special charge and supervision over the manual training work of all the colored schools of Cairo. He took with him high recommendations from such men as Hon. F. G. Brair, Bishop Osborne and others of a like standing, and had little difficulty in securing this position. The good people of Springfield regret losing Mr and Mrs. Hamilton from their midst and hope them unlimited success and that they may return and some day re-establish a work here similar to the work formerly conducted—a work in dispensible to our young colored peeple. In the 19th district the people are going to elect McKinley, they are tired of this foolishness. Louis FitzHenry of the 17th district was nominated for Congress. Dr. John A. Wheeler [Image of a man in a suit with a mustache]. When Dr. John A. Wheeler announced that he wanted to be sheriff of Sangamon county pretty nearly every one agreed that he would make a first class official. If he had said that he wanted any other of the offices to be voted for in November, the same opinion would have prevailed. Wheeler, you see, is the sort of a man who fits almost any place where human virility and activity can have play. He is physically and mentally equipped to do a lot of things and he usually does them well. He has had a variety of experience and he has never fallen down on any job he has undertaken.

You may be well assured that if elected he will stand for the best there is in legislation. moments—Wheeler has been in turn. This gives just an inkling of his versality and capability. Nor are his activities a burden to himself or his friends. They don't get on his nerves or those about him. He does things as easily as he does them well. There is no feverish fussiness about him. He is seldom out of temper. Doctor Whe ler has a world of friends. They are warm, loyal friends who couldn't be dragged from him with oxen. He has a few enemies, and they are the real thing. Their enmity is of the robust order, for the doctor doesn't do things by halves. When his g od nature goes off watch and he makes an enemy worth while. It is quite a task, and perhaps that is why there are so few of them. Most folks like the doctor. They like his personality, his urbanity and his disposition to be neighborly. They like him because he is a big wholesome, strong man with a big brain and an expansive heart. They like him because he is one of them and speaks their language—because he is unaffected and not given to assuming virtues he does not possess. And they are going to vote for him for sheriff. They are going to do it because he is "right" politically, a Republican who makes no excuses for his Republicanism They are going to do it because he will make a trustworthy officer. They are going to do it because of a dozen things which can be summed up in the expression. "Doctor Wheeler's plurality." TY JUDGE AN TICKET e for H.

A true, staunch republican --- DECATUR DECATUR (By Special Staff Correspondents) Rev. H. W. Jamison left for Jacksonville, Wednesday, afternoon to attend the annual conference which convened there this week. There was a grand farewell reception given for Rev. H. W. Jamieson at St. Peters A. M. E. Church Monday evening. An entertaining program was rendered, among whose interesting numbers was an address by our rising young lawyer, Attorney S. T. Clanton, a vio. lin solo by the talented soloist, E. J. Ricks, and last but not least a solo by Miss Prudence Sheen, Decatur's most gifted contralto, to whom it is always a joy to listen. After the program a sumptuous banquet was served. Everything went off nicely and all enjoyed them. selves immensely. Miss Laura MacGavick has been on the sick list for several days as the result of a bad cold. Tollie Funches is on the list of the indisposed for this week. Owen Warfield is working in his place for the time being. Fred and Howard Runnels of Clinton were in our city for several days. Marcellus Polk has equipped himself with a first-class lunch car which is sanitary and up to date. He has worked hard day and night for several months in order that he might save enough to build his car which in turn would help him to accumulate more money. Through the kind efforts of his employers, Neustadt & Neustadt, he obtained permission to locate behind the wagon situated at the corner of Williams and Water streets. He had hoped to place his wagon on the corner by Neustadt's clothing store but chief Allen would not allow it on the plea that two wagons on that corner would be obstructive to traffic, but we are all pretty well satisfied that Marcellus color was the cause of Allen's decision. Let us help M1. Polk to succeed, always bear in mind that if we as a race would make progress we must co-operate. John Thompson of 432 S. Broadway, sometime huntsman of letters, honored the Forum office here with his presence to-day. Among the many things that he said of himself was that he had had many hard knocks but he had succeeded in spite of them. The repainting of the court house here has added much to its appearance.

Services are held every Sunday at St. Peters church and Antioch Baptist church. There are also Sunday schools at both places. The exterior of the Powers building is almost completed. Mr. Hill, treasurer of the Macon County Republican Central Committee is a man of thorough political experience and wisdom. Mr. Hill has the ardous task of manning the old ship safe to anchor November 3, 1914. Prospects point to his success. He has been a member of the Republican Central Committee for 14 years and is a very congenial man, a man for the place he now occupies. He can gauge the depths of a persons nature in a very short time and knows just how to approach them, which last asset is a valuable one in public life. Mr. Hill assures us that every possible measure will be taken to aid the republicans in this county as well as in the 19th Congressional district. Mrs. C.

Washington is right. We should not be complaining forever of the mistreatment given us, but extol the good deeds done for us, do not be forever sick don't be complaining all the time. We believe sincerely that there is too much talk of death. Negroes will go hungry and without clothes to keep up a long list of insurance policies and 'sick certificates, take better care of your self and observe more closely the laws of health and you will not be sick. Sickness is the result of disobedience sin and negligence. People are reluctant to help a sick race and a race of complainers and whiners. Thank God and your good friends for the great prosperity which is yours.

Monroe St. THE HOME CIRCLE. Mrs. Nancy Liggens and son, Chas, Liggins. also Miss Rena Titsworth of Paducah. Ky., are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Liggins, 1605 E. Reynolds street. Jobnie Mitchell of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. Carrie Herd of Chicago were State Fair visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Liggins, 1605 E. Reynolds street. Miss Mitchell, sister of John Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond, Va., was in the city fair week. R. Vires was employed at the fair grounds during the fair. Mr. and Mrs. G. H. L. Nelson, of 618 north 11th street, entertained Mrs. Nelson's sisters, Genevieve and Willietta of Webster Grove, Mo., and Mrs. Edna Kyle of East St. Louis, during fair week. When a man lays down his life for his country When a man lays down his life for his country's welfare, he is showing a love, greater in it's intensity and nobler in it's cause than any ever exhibited since the beginning of time. "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend." Thousands have gone fearlessly and serenely to their doom actuated by this beautiful feeling. Jesus Christ, God's immortal Son, felt thus as he wended his sorrowful way to dread Golgotha's summit. When Peter, the magnificent apostle of the circumcision was led to his cross, fear had no place in his heart for he was dying for the sake of his people. Napoleon had but to cry "Forward." HOTEL BROWN NEWS Tee Ministerial Association meets at the Hotel every Monday morning, Rev. Geo. A. Brown and wife of Chester, Ill., Bishop Hurd, Missionary of Africa and Rev. N. J. McCracken were among the notable guests of the hotel this week. The Hotel Brown did a fine business during fair week. Now, since we have a commodious hotel here, the conventions and associations need have any hesitancy in coming to Springfield. JACKSONVILLE A very pleasant party was given Sept. 26, at the home of Miss Arfeta Shelby, S. West St. Among the sick are; Miss Seals one of our nurses, Mrs. Ed Harmon, Mrs. W. Holmes, Miss N. Johnson, J. Allen, Mrs. F. Hobbs, little son of Mrs. O. Blue, Master Wm. Blue. While in the city Madam P. M. Dabney was quite ill. The C. W. B. M. met recently with Mrs. Emma Florence on Ashland Ave. The Civic League met Sept. 22 with an interesting meeting at A. M. E. church with an excellent program, among those who appeared on the program was Frank Mallory, Chairman of the National Business League Address Chief Grand Master Finnie, Cairo, Ill. The next meeting will be held at the McCabe church on N. Cox St. Dr Beverly's report is fine and also Lawyer Tinsley's address every one should here this. Miss Lillian Garth has returned home after a visit with her aunt Mrs. Samuel Rhoads, 650 S. West St. Howard Powers, one of Decatur's wealthiest men died in Florida this week. Born to Mrs. Minnie Carr of Centralia a daughter. Mrs. Carr was formerly Miss Kelley of Decatur. C. C. LEE RE-OPENS C. C. Lee has reopened his saloon at 811 E. Washington St. The place is nicely arranged and everything is new, but the name. Mr. Lee carries a large number of good patrons who are glad to see him opened again. His is one of the most orderly conducted saloons in the city operated by colored people and no minors or rowdies are tolerated hence the most respected and most gentlemanly set patronize him and do so with pleasure. A part of the building is not yet completed, but will soon be and in the rear of it is said a vaudiville will be run. Last week, Mrs. Rosie Hunter, ill for over 1 year, Mr. Jameson, consumption; Arval Terrell, high diver, by accident in Kentucky. This week, Chas. M. Farmer. DR. A. C. PIERSEL Dr. A. C. Piersel, for 5 years or more pastor of the First M. E. church has been transferred to the First M. E. church at the University city, Urbana, Ill. He was loved and admired by all who knew him and his pastorate here was conducive of much good. He was while here an unassuming man but able and forceful in his arguments and sermons. His works do follow him. Our loss is Urbana's great gain. In concluding his farewell sermon he took occasion to pay a special tribute to R. S. Donaldson, the main stay at the M. E. church. Mr. Donaldson has been janitor at the said church for over 12 years, and is not only reliable and truthful but is a good man and a good citizen, having the respect of all who are his acquaintences. A man never loses by being upright and trustworthy. Such men as R. S. Donaldson are worthy of emulation and the Forum takes pride in presenting just ecomiums to such characters during their life time as well as eulogies after death. Annual Conference in Session The annual conference of the A. M. E. church is in sessnon at Jacksonville, Ill and a large number of A. M. E. ministers and laymen are in attendance. Some of the ublest men of the race are identified with this church and many able sermons will be preached in the old obolitionist city this week. Tomorrow (Sunday) will conclude the conference and a large number from here (Springfield) are anticipating going. Among some of the notable perpersonaes attending the conference are: Bishop Hurd of Africa, Bishop Lee of this Diocese and others. INHERITS $15,000 Rev. Geo. A. Brown, Jr., son of the late Bishop, and wife, passed through the city this week, enroute to the annual conference at Jacksonville. Last year Dr. Brown inherited from a wealthy white widow, $15,000 which was left in her will. It is the intention of Rev. Brown and wife, to purchase property in Chicago, where he already owns one home. THE CRISIS The August and September number of the Crisis are on sale at the Brown Hotel, T. R. and J. E.
