NO.4 News by Correspondents Gathered by The Forum's Live Force of Special Correspondents For Police Magistrate VICTOR P. MICHEL Victor P. Michel, one of Peoria's leading and most prominent young political men, is leading in the race, in the opinion of most people for the office of Police Magistrate, a very important office and an office in which a greater number of people have more business than any other in the whole city. For this office it is meet that a fair man of good temperament should be elected. A man who will see that no man is "railroaded" to jail or over fined for trivial offense If Mr. Michel is chosen every person, regardless of race, color or condition, can be assured of a fair deal and an honest interpretation of the law. Bear in mind, when the time approaches, that this young man is a square man, a good true republican. They can't beat him, he has the lead already. At present Mr. Michel is in charge of the Widow's Pension Fund Department and has made a good record in looking after the needy widows. Eugene F. Baldwin Eugene F. Baldwin In the death of Eugene F. Baldwin, editor of the Peoria Star. The people of Peoria lose one of the best and most enterprising citizens, a man of wide experience, learned and progressive, fearless for the right and a magnanimous fighter for that which he is convinced to be right. He was broad in his views and was minus race prejudice. The Star dared to give the Colored people a fair deal. Mr. Baldwin's death is greatly lamented because he was an asset in general to Peoria. The cur who struck the blow which evidently caused death is a detriment to Peoria and her citizens. Something Lacking. By S. A. ASKEW. M. D., Peoria There has always dawned upon me that a peculiar halo hovered around every profession and this has been considered sacred. Yes, so sacred is it held by some men that they would rather await time to find them out, altho many years may be required, than to shorten it one minute by any overt act on their part. This peculiar trait is observed in some men throughout the history of all times. The life of Joseph in Fgypt is a good example, also that of Booker T. Washington. On the other hand those who tried to hasten their times, as examples: Absalom, Napoleon, Brutus and Macbeth might be mentioned. Consider the fate of each character and judge which way is the better. No time is lost in waiting for the right way to come. Whatever this retreating nature may be called, the world has become to admire it and soon grows tired of the fellow lacking the same. This forwardness puts too much accentuation upon the "I and U" to please the public. Nothing makes one feel more un-at-home than the "big I and the little u" bobbing up everywhere. Yes, the old way to us is far better. When you are invited into the home of the great always take the lower seat, for then you may be told to come up higher. The news has gone far and near that the Mt. Zion Baptist Church is soon to be without a leader. This is true and who is in a better position to know better than she? Many of the letters coming daily to the church clerk are telling her of the regretted truth and the big "I's and little u's" are writing and riding the rods to Peoria every day. The church had thought of acquainting herself with ministers by investigation and invitation, but lo! she has been able to make use of the latter method only once. Do they come? Yes, they come, and write too, all kinds, big and little. It is lamented, in the extreme, that that peculiur nicety which should characterize the profession of the ministry is so lacking among many of our preachers. Promotion in the field of any profession is very simple. Just prepare yourself and then prove it by your works. Rev. S. J. Williams of Canton, Ill., is a good example. Hardly had he completed that very beautiful edifice in that small city before he is called to a much larger field. The best Baptist churches of today are looking for such men and they don't have to seek the place. Do thy work well for thy part, time will show the world thy art. As far as Mt. Zion is concerned, the pulpit supply committee has recommended Dr. E. L. Scruggs of Monmouth, Ill., to succeed Rev. B. N. Murrell and before these words will come from the press this recommendation will have been acted upon. No doubt exists that the endorsement of the committee will not be ratified by the church on the 25th instant in a special meeting called for the purpose. The Xmas Edition. The Xmas Edition of the Forum will be in a beautiful color cover, the finest we have yet produced. It will be beneficial to all to get in our Annual Holiday Number as it is widely and carefully read. The only way to get before the public in a way profitable is through the press, hence we invite your attention to this special edition. TAYLORVILLE Wm. Carter spent the greater part of last week hunting in Litchfield. He reported having been very successful in the line of quails. We are having very good weather at present for such sport. Gaberial Darwin lost two horses from feeding diseased foder. It is caused from the fungus growth on the stock because of the dry weather. It is causing quiet a lose throughout the country. Sofar there hasn't been any reports of the hoof and mouth desecase in this county. Mr. Darwin only a week ago had been offered $320 tor the same team. He has seven head left which are under the care of a veterinary to prevent if possible any more lose. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Harry McClean, Sunday, Nov. 22nd, a boy, mother and child are doing nicely. Russel Blue and cousin, and Harry Warfield of Decatur were visitors in the city Sunday evening. Rev. George Harvey filled the pulpit Sunday morning and evening in the absence of Rev. F. Gray. Rev. Gray was present at the evening service but did not officiate. It is a settled fact that Taylorville is to have one of the foremost business colleges permanently. The Ransomerian. Word was received from Miss Eva Darwin. She is achieving still greater success, and not only teaches music in her after school hours, but is about to take up teaching short hand and type writting at night school. McKinley Stewart who is attending Tusgeekee Institute reports of the Democratic times in that section. Continued on Fourth Page. 20 Cents per Month) The Seventh Day Adventists The Seventh Day Adventists, a religious sect, are doing a great work toward educating their fellows as well as evangelizing them. They are a studious class and make a specialty of seeking the truth. The literature is of a high class and very informing and educating. It is a good thing to have in the home of every person, especially the magazines which show the vast amount of missirnary work these people are doing. By securing a copy of the "Review Herald," October 29th, 1914 you will see the enormous work being done. This literature can be had free on application to any of the Seventh Day members. The religious course of study is worthy of emulation. Conklin Boomed for Mayor. Assistant Postmaster Conklin is being spoken of highly as the next republican choice for Mayor of Springfield. Mr. Conklin is an experienced man in the affairs of the city and will make a very acceptable man for the place. THE FORUM. Rogers & Osby, Publishers. Published every Saturday at $19 1-2 B.

Rogers—Hiitor and Manager OhioNegroes toget High Positions ‘There are 50,000 Negro voters in Ohio and it is con- clusive proof that the Negroes of that state are the balance of power, since the state was carried by the republicans by not less than 30,000. It is also certain that 95 per cent of the Negroes voted the republican ticket. Negroes are to get clerkships in the State Treasurer's and Secretary of State’s offices, also other positions down- ward. This is good for Ohio, and, as the Negro is also the balance of power in Illinois, it is high time that we as- pire for other than janitor jobs. Ifthe Colored man never seek anything but janitor jobs how do we expect to get them—handed to us on a silver tray? Never. It has become a common thing around here for Negroes not to look for anything higher than messenger, janitor jobs and but a few of them need he expect to get. We believe it is time to change and ask for the clerk- ship, why not? We have not a clerkship job in the entire city hall or court house, we should have some of these things. We have not even a janitor in the city hall or the court house, and we serve warning now, that we have taken cognizance of this fact. There should be three or four Colored men taken gare of at the court house. Ifthe republicans do not do this they invite the hard feeling of the Colored electors, The timé to prepare for war is during peace. Colored people will watch the treatment given them * by officials after election and compare and contrast that with the treatment and attention giveu before and during the campaign. Already complaint is made that certain men who were so cordial and obliging can’t be reached with a ten foot pole. Of course these same fellows, ere they are aware, will have served out their time and per- haps, wish again to fill the same place, and these young Colored fellows are marking you down, Some Colored men desire more than a two dollar bill and a cigar during campaign. They want to be treated right and respected as they respect others, and you who do not do it are being | sprinkled with blood on the forehead.

SATURDAY, NOV. 21, 1914 It is hoped, and it is probable that the Barclay Coal Mine Co. will not run atoul the true cur- rent so soon, but will mine coal and build up a big business. What is the matter Spring- field. So many vacant houses? The young girls are just as plenteous as ever and just as pretty—and there will always be a capital stock and surplus of them—what ails you fellows? MACKIE’S PROPOSITION Mr, A. D. Mackie, general manager of the Springfield Util ities Co. has evolved a proposi tion wherein the city can be lighted by his Co. at a saving of $30,000 per year- Mr, Mackie's proposition, we think, should not be turned down but given carful consideration and analyticalexamination. $30,000 is no small sum to be saved annually and if Mr. Mackie can do this his is the proposition for the city. It at least deserves to be considered. OSBORNE BUYS BULLDING Mr. L. F. Osborne has pur- chased the building located at 817% E, Washington St. The investment is a good one.

Judge Murray is mentioned for Commissioner, and, it is thought the field will be large, but not as large as before. A goodly number take the position that the earlier the announcement the better. It is said that Mr. Burke will not be a candidate for State’s Attorney. This will complete Mr. Burke's eight years.

The stork thought someone needed a toy, So left Harry McClean a baby boy. Billy Carter the barber went a hunting, To get a coat for baby Bunting.

A load of corn he actually did steal From Marian Holland's corn field, He sold it at Assumption's elevator, But came near, giving an order to the undertaker; When constable Berry came for Steele, They had a race across the field. Whereupon Berry used his gun, And the race he finally won; Poor Hobson was shot in the heel, And lost the race across the field. Bell Phone 2156.
