THE FORUM (Single Copy, 5e. 6 Months, 80c) SPRINGFIELD AND PEORIA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCT. 30, 1915. ($1.50 per Year in Advance Published Weekly in Springfield and Peoria Historical Society State House 5e. 6 Months, 80c) SPRI blished W PEORIA'S POLITICAL STATUS. Second City in the State Making Rapid Advances. Mayor E. N. Woodruff, candidate for Governor, has made the whole state take notice of Peoria and to recon with her hereafter as to things political. Mayor Woodruff has proven his popularity by being elected Mayor 5 times, twice when independent or third party candidates were in the race. He will make a good showing for Governor. The next Mayor will be a republican, if Woodruff be, or does not be, a candidate, because Peoria is thoroughly republican. C. D. Clarkson, one of the leading republicans of Peoria, is very popular and has many boosters for him for Mayor next term. Mr. Clarkson presided at the republican round-up September 30th at the Fair Grounds and proved equal to the occasion. Al Billsbrough, Aldermen from the third ward is one of the leading republicans of the city. He does not make a lot of noise, but his advice and counsel are invariably sought on all matters political. Everyone speaks in the highest terms of the third ward Alderman. Aldermrn Whitney, also of the third ward, is a man of the finest qualities. He is a close friend of Mayor Woodruff and well liked by the people who made him Alderman. He will be re-elected if he aspires for the place. He has also been mentioned as a good man for Mayor. Harry Frankel is the candidate on the G. O. P. ticket for Alderman from the fourth ward. Mr. Frankel is well known and liked by the rank and file. Candidates for representatives in the General Assembly are: John Lynch and Mr. Lyle. Mr. Scholes will be candidate for States Attorney, it is reported. The following officers are to be elected next fall: States Attorney, Circuit Clerk, Recorder, Auditor and Coroner. C. E. McNemar, present States Attorney, who has served nearly three years has made a splendid record. He has been strictly attentive to business and has so conducted the office as to reflect credit upon himself and the entire office. That he has made a good official and treated every body squarely, is conceded by all irrespective of political affiliations. Headwaiter, C. H. Barton, of the Jefferson Hotel, reports all well. Peoria should give the Negro more recognition. Robert Rice, a janitor at the City Hall, has lost his equilibrium. Rice was well thought of by all. B. C. Coulbourn, chairman of the County Central Committee, is a popular young man and becoming more and more a "astute" politician. He is making one of the best chairmen the county has ever had. The people like him because he is genial and courtous. He did herculean work last fall and allppreciate his efforts. He should be again chosen by the incoming supervisors or whatever body selects the county chairman. Judge Victor Mitchel is making a good record, so also is county Judge, Barnett, who is experienced in the work. Henry Perry, formerly of Springfield, has purchased a modern home on 7th Ave., and is married again and doing nicely. Federal 4 Quartet, E. H. Steward, Manager, sang at the Implement Show, Peoria. This quartet is taking high place among the quartets of Peoria. Headxuarters, 205 South Washington Street. THANKSGIVING EDITION NOVEMBER 20 THANKSGIVING EDITION NOVEMBER 20 truly VOL.11.

SATURDAY, OCT. 30, 1915 When we read of the horrible crimes committed by the Mexicans and the other nations across the seas, now engaged in a senseless war, our human senses and human spirits are made to bleed and we grow sick at heart when we contemplate. We are moved to pity them and we censure them and think them awful savages, but oh the crimes which are committed in our own land! These crimes at our own doors, will the great God ever forgive us of our transgressions, as we forgive those who transgress against us? What excuse have we for these crimes committed, mostly by the law-makers and law-givers, they are dailey committed by the elite of the land the proud race, the blue veins the Anglo-Saxon extraction. Down at Murphysboro, Ill. a young man was hanged, according to the law and the brutish sheriff disgraced the state and insulted the Governor, why did you do it sheriff White? Down in Georgia not many days ago, Georgia, the name sounds familiar to you all, a twelve years old colored boy was lvnched for some alleged crime, twelve years old and the crime only alleged, what do you think of it civilized America? What do you think of the American Press Association? What did you say against it American Pulpit? "He that is not for me is against me." History will Answer, God will repay, "Vengeance is His." Jas. Lewis was tried and convicted by a jury of twelve white men for murder and got, according to testimony of witnesses, justice. Jas. Wells was tried by a jury of twelve white men, for cold-blooded murder and got one to fourteen years, Justice, did you jurors lie or did you do as you swore you would do, we would leave that to you and your consciences. The Colored man can afford to be ill treated thus in this country, but can the other fellow afford to be the transgressor of the law? study this carefully. The mob that murdured Leo Frank murdered also the whole State of Georgia. Like Banqno's Ghost, these crimes will not down. Down State candidates will err if they expect their cases to be looked after by men in Cook Co. Chicago men can look after their cases in Chicago, but not all over the state. Wedown Staters will look after the down State unmolested. President Wilson does not intend to have his marital affairs coming in contact with his political affairs next year. Hence he is to be married soon. Next year the prospects for one of the best colored base-ball teams in the state, out-side of Chicago, is here in Springfield. The Union Giants team. Illinois may now take back a few of the harsh things said about Georgia. It was proved at Murphysboro Saturday that the human race is pretty much the same the country over. The public hanging of the negro Joe Deberry, as conducted by Jackson County, was a slap at the face of intelligence in Illinois. A stockade large enough to accommodate 2,000 persons was built in the Murphysboro court yard and wholesale invitations were issued to persons throughout the state in the form of deputy sheriff commissions. So public was the scaffold that a thousand others easily witnessed the hanging from the outside. The law of Illineis provides that executions are to take place in the presence of twelve citizens, two doctors and as many constables as the sheriff deems necessary for protection. The negro Deberry was amply protected. Governor Dunne may well investigate the disgraceful affair. Mob spirit is mob spirit; it should be frowned upon, not countenanced and even encouraged. —Lincoln Courier Herald. The purport of the Clansman, alias, the Birth of a nation, is obvious. It was born in sin and shaped in iniquity—it is an historical misrepresentation and a perversion of the truth. There is always a plan and a way, to route evil. The truth is infalible but the lie is fallible and must die. "The truth about the Colored Rrce" is a magnificent and sensational moving picture film shown in N. Y. Also the Spirit of Tuskegee, a drama in five acts, by L. W. Washington, to be presented in Chicago. The pageant. "Star of Ethiopia," has just been presented in Washington, D. C., by Dr. W. E. B. Dubois. All of these are new creations to show Mr. Birth of a Nation his Waterloo. These plays will tell in stronger language than words can express, the fallacy and farce of the aim and purpose of the ignoble Virginian. Notice The Forum Office is located at 7131/ E. Wash.

Dr. Boyd is doing a great work, his brain and management have caused to be built up, one if not the greatest enterprise owned and controlled by Afro-Americans. A credit not only to the denomination, but to the whole race and why check the onward march? Is not he doing more than any other has done? Scenes, such as went on at Chicago, are against, not only the Baptists, but the whole race, hence this comment. Christian people are, of necessity, intelligent people, and intelligent christian people should never stoop to such small things, settle your difficulties without so much acrimony and devilment. If you are intelligent Christian people, prove it. If you want some one to take E. C. Morris's place and the place is seeking the man, elect him and stop this foolishness. Dr. Morris should not retain the place if he believes he is not the man and that a fitter man can be found, or if he believes that he has served long enough for the best interest of the majority. As to Dr. Boyd, he should not be replaced, he is too valuable a man. "The Quality Shop" WINTER UNDERWEAR Gentlemen, how are you fixed for Winter Underwear?

Rhoden had charge of the funeral arrangements. The Special Session Liquor question should be considered at this session. When Gov. Dunne calls the Legislature into extra Session to consider the financial question, now tied up in the Courts by suits pending, alleging unconstitutional appropriations and irregularities in appropriations, he should bring the liquor question in the call and, if possible, get that settled, relative to Sunday closing. The law is plain and comprehensive and the way to alter matters and to take from the officials, the embarrassment of not entorcing the laws, is to repeal the law relating to Sunday closing and give every city of 25,000 or more population home rule, then each such city can settle its own problems as regards the said Sunday closing. Therefore, we recommend that this question be encouched into the call of the extra Session. Don't be afraid of the question, face it and settle it once for all, or for a period of time at least.
