MOSS CALLED BY DEATH. The funeral of Peter J. Moss, who died at St. Johns Hospital Thursday, February 18th at 4 p. m., from injuries he received when he fell down a hay chute at the Livery of Kirlin & Egan, was held at 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, February 21st at Union Baptist Church, the Rev. S. C. Manuel, pastor of the church officiating. Burial was in Oak Ridge cemetery. Deceased was born at Bear Breek, Mo., January 17, 1876 and at the time of his death was 39 years old. At the age of 16 he united with the Park Chapel Baptist church of Palmyra, Mo., under the pastorate of Rev. J. T. Pearman and was a consistent member of the church and choir until his removal to this city. On December 27th, 1890 he was married to Mrs. Rosie B. Barnes of Palmyra, Mo., and in 1900 they removed to this city and finally settled at his late residence, 1113 East Mason. Since his residence here he united with the New Hope Baptist church, under the pastorate of Rev. Tate. He was a good and industrious husband and a loving brother and son He leaves to mourn his loss a faithful wife, Mrs. Rosie Moss, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Benj. F. Moss, five brothers, Benj. F. Jr., of Wyoming, George W., Hulen J., Wm. Logan, and Alvin H., a student at Fisk University of Nashville, Tenn., and one sister, Miss Onie D. Moss, all of this city, and a host of friends. He was a quiet and peaceful citizen and respected by all who knew him and his sudden death was a great shock to all. NEGRO M. E'S. SHOULD NOT QUIT MOTHER CHURCH. Much talk of late, has gone the rounds to the effect that 360,000 Colored communicants of the Methodist Episcopal Church should, and are, contemplating a separation from the old church and forming a solid Negro Methodist alliance, comprising all the branches of the Colored Methodist churches. We do not think such a thing is wise or advantageous. It would not be amiss for the A. M. E., A. M. E. Zion and the C. M. E. branches to unite, but for all to pull away from the great fountain is abortive and fuicidal. Out of the M. E. church, the great fountain of liberty and justice, we have been bounteously, and are bounteously hitherto, blessed. This church was the cornerstone of the abolitionist. We drank freely from her streams and are yet drinking. She is helping us, not us, her. What private griefs have we? What right have we to demand Bishops because of color? Let us not be hasty in this business. Be patient and our rewards are sure. SPRINGFIELD CULTURE CLUB Sunday, February 21st was Frederick Douglas Day at the Culture Club. Several interesting papers were read on the life of this great Colored man, which extended from his birth in the bonds of slavery through his mission as minister to Hayti and his death. A number of excellent musical selections were also rendered. The Culture Club voted to raise $100 to be given to the church to be applied on the Thousand Dollar Rally which the Union Church has entered into. A number of subscriptions were freely donated, among them being Dr. S. A. Ware, Attorney C. S. Gibbs, Robert Taylor and Mrs. Lottie Poston. REV. GEORGE W. WRIGHT DEAD. REV. GEORGE W. WRIGHT DEAD. Died on Tuesday morning, February 23, at the family residence, 1928 East Kansas Street, Rev. George W. Wright. The deceased is survived by his wife, Mrs. Susan B. Wright and also two sisters. "Be Ye Doers and not Sayers only." SPRINGFIELD AND PEORIA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MAR. Weekly in Springfield ALL HONOR TO THACHER AND FITZGERALD First Victory against Jim-Crow Car Bill. Instance of racial self help. Douglas Memorial and Protest Day, Feb. 21st. (SPECIAL) The first skirmish on the Bill for Jim-Crow Cars in the District of Columbia was won by the opponents of the bill yesterday, led by Rep. T. C. Thacher of Massachusetts and Rep. John J. Fitzgerald of New York, Democrats who felt the desire to show they were not in accord with Southern Democrats on this color line measure. When the session of the House of Representatives opened at 11 A. M., Rep. Thacher presented the remonstrance of the National Independent Political League, Mass. Branch to the House. Then Rep. Fitzgerald moved substitution of the Sundry Civil Bill for the District of Columbia Bill which has the Jim-Crow Car resolve, it being the regular day to take up D. of C. measures. The motion of Fitzgerald was carried 168 ves to 107 no. Rep. Clark of Florida was sore. DOUGLAS MEMORIAL DAY PROTEST. The next regular day for District of Columbia Bills is February 22nd. The Equal Rights League appeals to the African-American in every city to hold a meeting on Sunday, February 21st, to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the death of Fredrick Douglass, and to pass resolutions against the Jim-Crow Car Bill, asking Representatives to speak and vote against it, and mail a copy to every U. S. Representative in Congress from the state. If in a Southern state select some Northern State's Congressmen. The Massachusetts Equal Rights League passed and had its resolutions published on February 3, and mailed a copy to Rep. Thacher and the other Congressmen from Massachusetts and Rep. Thacher answered the League that he would present them and fight the Bill. Branches of the League from Boston to Kansas sent resolutions, while the D. of C. Branch went to the Capitol. But the Chief of all the Colored Citizens of Boston through the activity of Secretary Trotter sent Attorney Joshua A. Crawford as a personal lobbyist to Washington against the Bill. He was at the Capitol at 9 A. M. Monday and went to work on the Congressmen. This Colored organization is proud of this self-help. Any city desiring to form a branch league, should write to National Organizer, Rev. R. C. Ransom, 437 W. 35th St., New York, N. Y., or Secretary Trotter at Boston, Mass. Let Whole race organize. COLORED WOMAN SHOT; WOUNDS MAY PROVE FATAL. COLORED WOMAN SHOT; WOUNDS MAY PROVE FATAL. Mrs. Katie Johnson of Twelfth and Jefferson Streets was shot last Tuesday night by a St. Louis woman known as Rose Adams. The shooting occured in Percy McCloud's Saloon at 11th and Madison Streets. It is said that the bullet was not intended for Mrs. Sohnton, but for the bartender, and accidentally hit the former. Mrs. Johnson was taken to St. Johns Hospital where she is now in a very serious condition, the bullet having entered her body just above the heart. Church News Church News The Union Baptist Church, corner 12th and Mason Staeets of which Rev. S. C. Manuel is pastor has announced its Thousand Dollar Rally which is to take place in August. The congregation and pastor intend to build a new modern structure and the Thousand Dollor Rally is 20 Cents per Month) the first great effort. The Culture Club has voted to give $100 on the Rally and many persons have subscribed various sums as well as the pledges of most of the members of the church. We wish them much success in the great undertaking and, at the appointed time, it will be a delight to look upon a fine modern church. Another Attack on the Negro's Color Negroes Not Especially Wanted at San Francisco Fair. Substantial news has been circulated throughout various cities and states that the Negro is not especially wanted at the World's Exposition, which is to be held at San Francisco, California, this year. It is stated that the Afro-Americans who will attend this Fair will not be given the same courtesies and accommodations that the white visitor will receive. YOUNG PEOPLE MUST THINK What will become of the younger set, it is hard to tell. Surely they are loosening their senses, if they can not keep company with the opposite sex with out "scraping," they had better play "quits,"—do you see? There is always a manner in which one can rid yourself of an nuisance if one desires. The young ladies should first respect themselves, then demand respect from others. If you carry yourself in such a manner as to loose respect, that is your loss a loss never to be entirely regained. Young girls, do not let the boys think they own you—that is where the great trouble lies. Young men be careful and not waste your time loafing. An industrious and busy person never gets into trouble. Above all, be a gentleman respect public places. Do not visit such places unless on business. A hint to the wise is sufficient. Mrs. Curtright spent several days with us last week and the first part of this week. She is an estimable lady and full of those rare womanly qualities. She took our people with her goodly manners and kindly graces. Such a wife bespeaks success for a minister wherever he may go. She was accompanied by her little charming girl, she too, is delighted with the city and will be a valid companion for her father. PEORIA The revival meeting just ending at the A. M. E. Church was a success. The service was conducted by a woman evangelist assisted by the pastor, Rev. Jones. Much interest was shown in the meeting and many resolved to lead better lives. More than thirty were added to the church which speak well for the good work of the evangelist, Mrs. Wade. Would that she go to our neighbor, Springfield, and move among its chief sinners. The political bee is a stir in old Peoria. Municipal Primaries are at hand. Many aspirants are out and that old worn election time smile has again budded out. It just wont wear off-before election day. Yes, too, bad! but some poor son of Ham is going to be nagged again by that old smile. At any rate we are on guard and will try to choose aright any way. Let us try to shoot right. Rev. Felix A. Curtright, of Joliet, Ill., pastor of the Second Baptist Church, has been extended a call to the pastorate of Mt. Zion Baptist of Peoria and the same has been duly accepted by him. The Rev. Mr. Curtright comes well recommended by the best people of Joliet and is looked upon here as a worthy successor to the Rev. Mr. B. N. Murrell, who is now with the Pilgrim Baptist Church of St. Paul, Minn. Rev. Curtright has visited with us on two occasions and is impressed favorably with the city. He is expected to be with us Sunday and begin to take charge of the work temporary until he can get on the field in person, about the first of April. S. A. ASKEW, M. D. Now we bet you a hot biscuit someone will take offense at this admonition. But, we are addressing this advice or rather, this opinion, to those who think and are really trying to do good. We also leave all we have to say up to the judgment and sanity of the people, the dissenters to the contrary not-with-standing. THE FORUM. Rogers & Osby, Publishers.

SATURDAY, MAR. 6, 1915 i Political Announcements The Colored man is reading more today than ever before in his history—and, too, reading his own literature—the way up is via of books. No race can rise but by good reading, good literature and writers and his- torians. Let the Negro become hungry for literature and feed him thereon. “T like to see a little dog, And pat him on the head, So prettily he will wag his tail Whenever he is fed. Some little dogs are very good, And very useful too. And don’t you know that they will mind, What they are bid to do.” Now the above can’t be said of some little boys, but that does not mean that dogs are better than boys, but some dogs are better than some boys. Yes, we declare that our (col) women are progressing, we also declare that they are too prone to ill inclined gossip, one about the other--they waste too much time taiking at these too frequent gatherings about tri- vial affairs. Take up essential issues - such as cullinary, sani- tation human, up-litt, the fu- ture of the children and good moral lives and how to live them. R. G. OF L's. The R. G. of L’s, met at Miss Ruby Penny’s Saturday after. noon at her residence 1710 Ma- theny Ave., after the business meeting a three course luncheon was served. The rooms were beautifully decorated in the clnb colors pink and green, Those present were; Irene Tate, Mar- garet Richardson, Mildred Hicklin, Imerrie Welsh, Mayme Osby, Eugene Brooks and Ruby Penny the hostess. We should be exceedingly happy, because all candidates “stand for”, pure water, clean streets, illuminations galore, a new hall, fire protection, com- bination of the water and elec- tric plants, cutting down gas rates, cutting down the salaries of commissioners and mayor, lowering the price on wheat and a swift cessation of the war in Europe.

Hundreds of thousands of women wear the Bien-Jolie Brassiere for the reason that they regard it as necessary as a corset. It supports the bust and back and gives the figure the youthful outline which fashion decrees. BIEN JOLE (DE AN JOLE) BRASSIERES are the daintest, most serviceable garments imaginable. Only the best of materials are used—for instance, "Walach", a flexible boning of great durability—absolutely rastless—permitting laundering without removal.

Carpenter's residence on S. West St. Those boys are making quite a hit with their shows. The Prim Rose Club met Jan. 27, with Miss Minnie Taylor at the residence of Miss Bessie Johnson on W. Morton Ave. The North End Social Club celebrated its first anniversary Jan. 29th, at the home of Mrs. Mariam Meadows with an excellent program, Mrs. Abner Strong is President. Many club officers from different clubs were present also other visitors. Mrs. N. J. Blue was awarded the first prize in the Button-Hole Contest, Mrs. Brooks the second. The Civic League met recently at Mt. Emery Baptist church Members of Allen's Improvement Club gave a successful Chittling Supper Jan.28, at the church. Mrs. Riley Brown who has been ill is able to be about. A number of friends assembled Jan. 16, at Mrs. Fred Davis' armed with useful articles and proceeded to the residence of Dr. and Mrs. B. H. Beverly on S. West St. This being Dr. Beverly's birthday. Dr. and Mrs. Beverly being completely surprised and we more than delighted with their many useful presents, about 18 guests were present, all spent a pleasant evening. Mr. and Mrs. Lonie Hall, of Litchfield, Ill., spent a few days in our city visiting their mother Mrs. L. Hall- LINCOLN, ILL. Special by Staff Correspondent LINCOLN, ILL. Special by Staff Correspondent Lincoln has taken on another step toward progressive movement when they adopted the Commission Form of government. Mrs. Hattie Starkes, who has been quite ill so ill that her recovery was somewhat doubtful, is much improved at this writing. Yes, we have many friends, but some times these friends will not do to trust our city government with. Miss Belle Orendorff spent a few days in our city with her parents last week. Wiss Mattie Fant of Mt. Pulaski was the guest of Mrs. Ida Hummers Sunday. Rev G. W. Brewer started a revival last Sunday. He has an up hill pull as the Christian banner has been trailing in the mud so long until it seems impossible to do much good in saving sinners any more. Mrs. Nancy Crippen, who spent the winter in the southern part of the state, has returned home. Bud Orendoff, who has been sick for the past two weeks, suffered a relaps Monday. Mrs. N. Hazelwood of Peoria wass called to the city last week owing to the illness of her daughter, Mrs. M. Starkes. We all know the men that are running, if we don't we should find them out. Let us deal with this matter just as they deal with us when we go to them for a job. Let us review their past life. Harrison Hazelwood spent Sunday at his old home in Peoria. The Second Baptists had their baptizing Sunday afternoon of 21st. There were several candidates. Mrs. Ed. Johnson is on the sick list again. Johnny Orendoff, Jr. has return to the city again and is now employed in his uncle Bud's horse shoeing shop. Edward Bradey, who has been helping in the Rich Hardin Shoeing Shop, is again on the Green House work. On Sunday the 14th Richard Allen Day was celebrated at Allen chapel all day with a fitting program. Bro. Giddon was there in afternoon and made things lively. If a stray Negro should happen to come to your city and you help him come to the front, it will not be long before that same Negro is thinking himself bigger than the ones who helped elevate him and trying to walk over them. We want a bigger and better Lincoln. Put the right kind of men in office next April and we will have it. Listen, with 27 candidates in the field for Commissioners, and the Negro vote standing between 165 and 170 we should have some voice in the primary. Let us see to it that we do our duty toward getting in the right men in offices. Miss Edna M. Wesley, who returned home a few days ago off the road where she was traveling with the Blind Boon Concert Co. on account of ill health, is able to be out. On the 18th there was a well filled house at Allen chapel, who turned out to hear the lecture of the returned Missionary from Vfrica. We now have over three hundred Colored votes in Logan county. We have one State Senator and one one Legislator both from Lincoln, but as yet no Negro from Logan county has received even an invitation to come down and see them scrap. This old Civil Service cry there is nothing to it. If you happen to stand in you are all right, no matter what your character may be. If you are a straightforward person you stand a mighty poor show to get anything. TAYLORVILLE Miss Celestine Carter accepted a position as teacher of commercial work in Topek, Kansas. Miss Carter graduated in the 1914 class at the Township High School in the Commercial Course. Miss Mollie Darwin visited friends in Springfield from Saturday until Tuesday evening.

JOHN H. BURKE 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 ably, efficiently and honestly managed. As spring is near and the ladies will soon appear in their more fragrile garments, they request that the janitors of the various churches take more pains in the cleaning of the churches. No one wishes to have to stand up and dust his seat in the middle of a crowd before seating himself, and neither does he or she wish to sit in the seats where he is liable to be covered over or sufficated by the density of the dust. We hope that the janitors will take heed for a hint to the wise should be sufficient. Taxes are now due and payable at this office. Bring your last year's receipt or a complete description of your property when making payment. GEO. W. SCHWANER. Office in Court house Town Collector Capital Township. Adv. A. M.
