WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON With a meteoric flight Wm. Hale Thompson, Mayor of Chicago, is making things warm for National Committeeman from Illinois. He is one of the most courageous men of the state and a man worthy of laudation. He is a man of his convictions and should receive the unqualified support from every Colored man and every lover of a true man in this state. He may be the next National Committeeman and should get any office to which he aspires if the votes of the meek and lowly would elect him. Hail Big Bill—He's all right. Hurrah for Thompson! DECATUR.

($1.50 per Year in Advance 20 Cents per Month) nd Peoria STATE FAIR BOARD DRAWS COLOR LINE ON TICKETS One of the meanest things we have yet encountered was the attempt of the State Fair Board to ignore the Colored preachers and even the Colored Newspapers, in giving out a few complimentary tickets. The fact is: they had scrupulously and intentionally, with "malice afore thought," "passed up" the Colored preachers and the press and the preachers had a little "confab," protested, saw the president, and on Monday, after three days had passed, got their tickets. The Ticket-giver, who happened to be a female, told the Forum representative that they had not made contracts with any of the Colored papers this year. What do you think of such "bunk?" No wonder we are hesitant in boosting Springfield, Do you suppose Peoria or Riverton would be so "measley." That was the most unkindest cut of all. We think it is time that men run the Fair and let these small fellows go back to the plow and the lady back to the kitchen or the parlor. Afraid to give out a few tickets to the Clergy and the Press on this side of the "veil." O tempora o Mores, O Springfield. I see thy fate and the why. BASE BALL BASE BALL Jacksonville was here again last Sunday and put up a stiff fight. The rain caused the game to be called in the 6th inning at which time the score stood 3 to 3. Battery for Giants: Jones and Anderson. FRED MORTIMER FOR CONGRESS. This makes the third time we have proposed the Hon. C. F. Mortimer for Congress. The first time, 1904, he was quite a "kid," but would have been elected, as Zeno Rives was an unkuown quantity, even in Montgomery county, and won. Of course L. E. Wheeler may desire another term also, but the office is to let. HON. L. Y. SHERMAN J. H. ILLINOIS (OUR) CANDIDATE For President THE FORUM, Rogers & Osby, Publishers.

SATURDAY, OCT. 2, 1915 Colored people are embarking into the insurance business with rapidity, We hope them success Mr. Meek, of this city, is mak- ing good in that line, Dr. Crook, the curator, has one of the finest specimens of wild Turkey on exhibition at the Illinois State Historical Mu- seum you ever saw. He is con- stantly improving and adding new collections. Dr. Crook is certainly an indispen-able man Yes, we claim that the gov: ernment should make it a fed. eral offense to lynch a man, the same as arson and treason. When such is done mob law will stop. You men who are “smart” and desire America tc live get busy. Let the press catch the echo. If the American people are not able to stop mob rule and lyn- ching they will not be conside red a first power civilized nation How can they? How much, if any, is this nation superior to Mexico and Hayti, or even Bar- neo? It may seem absurd to class us with Barneo, but are the people of Barneo any more savage and brutal? Mrs, H. Tucker, who conducts asmall Millienery business de- serves praise and support, She is an example of thrift and ten- acity, the two elements poten- tial to suecess. She only de- sires that you call and see, if satisfied buy. We rise merely to ask Collier's where does the one white man in the community get the mon- ey to pay the taxes of the ten black families and further why Collier's does not place the blame for lynching where it be- longs namely in the pure un- adulterated cussedness of the white men who engage in lynch- ing. The preponderance of Ne- groes inthe South is not the cause of lynching any more than the preponderance of Negroes in the Congo state was responsi- ble for the Belgian atrocities. A little reason now and then is relished by the worst of men. —From Star of Zion J. P. Morgan & Co. will fi- nance the leoan to Great Brit- ain for $500,000,000. Our candid advice to a large number of our people is: “back to the dear old farm.” On the farm a decent independent living is-easy.
