NO.5 Gathered by The Forum's Live Force of Special Correspondents Destruction of the Fittest Destruction of the Fittest By S. A. ASKEW, M. D., Peoria The good fortune which comes to some people in passing through any great destructive ordeal has long been the subject of many writers. Learned literaturists have grown, at times, quite eloquent in their writings on the event and have wont to call it "survival of the fittest." Here a serious question regarding such good fortune presents itself. Any one conscientious must ask "is it really the survival of the fittest," in our day. This age of selfishness and greed; this age of dollar getting and high finance; this age of all for the classes and nought for the masses. It is indeed a peculiar age. In order to sustain such a system, destruction of the fittest, instead of survival is demanded. Our system lives and thrives upon this kind of destruction. It is only by destruction that this ignoble condition is permitted to exist. Yes, this is an age of destruction of the fittest. What is the demand when there is a very hard and dangerous task to be accomplished? When Gen. Pickett was commanded to charge on that hill at Gettysburg durin the civil war, ten thousand picked men were placed at his command. Less than three hundred reached the top and these were cut assunder. Yes, the toll of war always calls for picked men. Those who are able to stand the best physical test to which the most skilled are able to subject them are the chosen for war. Men whose bodies and minds are able to stand the most severe trial are the first to be called for the sacrifice. Should the conflict drag on and those best fitted become too much reduced in numbers the next best fitted are chosen. So the contest goes on until the called are the least fitted. I can see on the battle fields of Europe today millions of men arrayed one against the other in a death struggle. These men represent the best physical and mental development of more than half of the civilized nations of the world. I can see men whose bodies and minds have achieved the greatest height to which our best universities are able to raise them, called to operate thosee massive guns whose mechanism is so delicate that the ordinary soldier can not manipulate. Yes I can see the best of the age, the toll of war, standing and sleeping in wet trenches. By and by this war will come to an end and what is left from its varacious mouth will return home. Instead of strong physical bodies and sound minds. I can see phantom men whose bodies are wasted and whose minds are wrecked. The toll of war is appalling. Yes I can see nations dead but yet alive. When I view this picture passing before my mind's eye, I can but exclaim, O, God, help us to forever say, destruction of the fittest is the demand of the system under which we live. The outlook of the future for these nations whose sons have been sacrificed to the good of war is dark. A deterioration of the physical and the mental powers is the after toll that must be paid to the greed of our age. There must follow a decline in the physical, mental and moral forces of these nations. The inevitable results will be a preceptible weakness in their progny. This physical, mental and moral defects will be long in recuperation. Yes, generations will have to come and go ere this darkness will have passed and a brighter day appear. The Xmas Edition.

The republican party on looking over the down-state field for a candidate for Attorney General for their ticket in 1916 are focusing their eyes upon no less a figure than Hon. Geo. H. Wilson of Adams County, than whom the party has no nobler exponent. Mr. Wilson ranks'amoug the ablest lawyers of the state and has been for over 20 years an active, energetic, conspicuous figure in the councils of his party, an ardent, loyal, consistent worker in the republican party, and for whose principles the party has no stauncher and more incessant laborer. Mr. Wilson has played a prominent part in Adams county for the success obtained by the party both locally state and nationally. He has an unimpeachable record at his home. He has been a practicing lawyer for 20 years in Adams county and is well versed in legal jurisprudence. For 10 years or more he has represented his senatorial district in the lower house of the General Assembly, and his record in that body is as good, clean and luminous as that of any member for the past quarter of a century. Mr. Wilson stands well with every class of citizens and believes in equality before the law to every man, white or colored or otherwise. In him the Colored people have always had a loyal, consistent friend, a brave stalwart patriot. He will make a splendid Attorney general and it is not amiss for the party leaders, down state and in Cook UNION SERVICES LARGELY ATTENDED On Thanksgiving Day there was Union Services from the various Congregations held at Union Baptist Church, Rev.

A large crowd of Elks and Elk's friends, will leave tomorrow for Decatur, where the annual memorial sermon will be preached by Rev. Simons. Down in Byhalia, Miss., last week, a colored man and his wife were murdered because some one suspected them of having set fire to a barn, presumably, of course, a barn owned by a white man. Listen too, they were only suspected of not burning up a block, but thought to have burned a corn crib. Two lives taken because the parties were "suspected" of having burned a barn. Tell us these are civilized people—Nay. Tell us this nation can sit quietly by and tolerate such and then dictate peace terms and prescribe humane methods for other nations without censure—Nay. Tell us there will not come sure and swift retribution upon these barbarians if there be a just God Omnipotent—God forbid. We rest our case however. For Cataline Shall not, forever, with unbridled tongue, abuse our citizens so. Plans are being made to have Dr. Vernon stop over here durthe holidays and deliver a lecture, the proceeds to go to the aid of Campbell College. Now, since we elect United States Senators by direct votes Redublicans can at least, have the consolation of having run in the Southern States. The thing for Colored men to do all over the country is aspire to political office, even if they get only 20 votes out of a constituency of 1,000 or 10,000 votes—run, run, run, let this be the motto.
