L. Y. Sherman, republican candidate for President, supported Mr. Roosevelt in the convention in 1912 as one of the delegates-at-large from this state and stuck with Mr. Roosevelt, doing yeomen work on the floor of the Convention. At no time did Senator Sherman relinquish his support while Mr. Roosevelt was a republican candidate before that convention. When Mr. Roosevelt pulled out of the party, Senator Sherman used his perogative, of course, and remained in the republican party. Sherman was an original Roosevelt man, and therefore the Colonel can, with consistency, support Sherman, who is a progressive republican, subscribing to and supporting and advocating all of the main issues for which Mr. Roosevelt so firmly stands and advocates. Sherman is a sound, orthodox republican, who believes in the sound principles on which the party is founded. To the Southern Delegates We urge every leading republican of the South to support Sherman for this high office. He is the logical man. There must be not only an able man with a strong following but a man against whom there is no potential friction and dissention. We fear Root will not be able to secure a sufficient amount of the regular republican vote to win. Weeks comes from the far east and is considered a friend of the Root followers. Borah and Cummins are not as strong with the common "herd," and Burton is not able to carry the east. Therefore if the south wants another Grant, a fearless champion for the rights of all, get in line for Sherman of Illinois, the home of Lincoln. BROOKER T. WASHINGTON DEAD Dr. Brooker T. Washington, sage of Tuskegee, Ala., a town and name made famous and reknown by he, himself, is dead. He was truly a great man and his life and career for the past 20 years, was meteoric. He came from naught and built up an institution and a character, which are endurable. In his death the nation loses a great pillar—a sturdy character whose reputation and deeds had become international. He had gone beyond the Atlantic and there died with crowned heads and potentates of "the first born," and his advice and wisdom, had been received with great acat. He was a man sagacity and very liberal—he achieved greatness. He was adored and admired by the highest intellects of the world, and his works shall ever endure. When Brooker Washington fell, "O what a fall was there." We all feel the effects of the fall—to some extent we too fell. But he laid a sure foundation and the great work to which he gave the last full measure of devotion, shall not perish, we hope, from the earth. Words are inadequate to express our sorrow, also for us to express the greatness of the man, the school and the testimony of the world attest his greatness. He was buried 'neath the shadows in the grass, under the sound of Tuskegee's chapel bell and the things and scenes of which he so much admired and for which he labored so assiduously. Requies cat en pace. SECOND REPRIEVE FOR SCOTT Elston Scott, the colored man of Jackson county, has been given 30 more days to live, by edict of Gov. Dunne. The Governor again asked the "incorrigible" sheriff for a definite specific reply in regards to the number of persons to be permitted to see the execution, but the sheriff seemed to be "mad" about something and will not answer directly and specifically, but evades and simply says: "I will conform to the law," but Governor Dunne does not intend that this state shall be "legally disgraced" and the people are with Dunne. To h—— with the sheriff——if he means fair he would apologize for the first out-rage and do as the Governor asks, but no, he wants his way——he is sheriff, but Dunne is Governor——and some Governor too. 15. ($1.50 per Year in Advance 20 Cents per Month) nd Peoria SHERVAN CLUB ORGANIZED A Sherman for President Club was organized Wednesday evening, Nov. 17. A fairly good sized crowd was out for the initial meeting and several of the men made short talks. The purpose of the club and the reasons for such an organization were outlined by the promoters. The club's doors are opened to all who desire to join, and the aim and desire are to get every colored voter in the county to become identified with the organization. The officers chosen are: G. A. Barksdall, Pres.; C. W. Liggens, Vice Rec. Secy.; E. L. Rogers, Cor. Sec'y; B. S. Garrett, Treas.; R. Vires, Sargeant-at-arms; W. K. Turner, Chairman; Membership Committee, L. C. Jones. Everyone who wishes may become a member. The purpose is to make the club a potential factor in Sherman's nomination. COLORED MAN HEALTH INSPECTOR In appointing Mr. Lincoln Nelson a health inspector, Commissioner Reece and Smith are living up to their promise to give the colored man a chance when he merits and deserves something. Mr. Nelson showed by his percentage that he was able to fill the place, and the men who are responsible for his appointment show that they are fair and honest and can be relied upon. These are the sort of men who need not have any fear of getting the people's support in the future, early or remote. THE EXECUTION OF WOMEN SPIES It is the general opinion that, to execute a woman as did Germany in the case of Miss Cavell, is brutish, or rather revolting, but it must not be thought that women are going to be permitted to dodge behind their sex and do the deeds of men and then be allowed to escape punishment. If such were so, there would be a conspiracy, the performance of which would be carried out by woman at the instigation of the men, hiding behind the petticoats, and, no doubt, Germany looked at the matter in this light. News now comes to the effect that France has shot two German spies. While we have sympathy for the woman, and believe they should have more leniency than men, as a matter of custom and respect, but only so long as they stay in women's places and play theirs and not a man's part. Whenever a woman gets in a man's place she will get the same dealt out to her as that of a man, in war or out, in politics or in the castle.

SATURDAY, NOV. 20, 1915 Few men have wrought so mightily as Booker T. Washing. ton. He first became a nation. al character when he made that famous speech at Atlanta in 1895. The South will also do well if it falls in line with Illinois and send its delegates instruct- ed for Sherman until such a time that Sherman shall have been nominated or shall have withdrawn in favor of some one else, Sherman is making the na‘ion sit up and take notice and will be a factor at the com- ing National Convention for the selection of a candipate for pres- ident. Senator Sherman declared at San Francisco, to a reporter, that there will be no candidate who will get the nomination in a storm, but that several states will have candidates and the man who musters up the re- quired number of delegates first will be the nominee and the re- publican nomince will be elected, In Springfield, the Colored people feel that they are not getting what they deserve polit- ically and civilly, There is en- tirely too much prejudice and hatred. The show houses and other public places disregard the law and disregard a man’s fecl- ing, which has made a sort of racial estrangement. ‘The col- ored should also, do all they can to build up a healthier sen- timent, We should organize and place competent men at the head and muke for ourselves a better environment, There are several enterprises we should open up and force ourselves in- to the equation, But should be encouraged and treated right. The future is ominious. The motion picture play the Birth of a Nation, which was written by one Thos. Dixon, Jr. and has disturbed the Nation, (America,) from center to cir- cumference, showed in many towns. It is strange that such a piay finds favor with such in- telligent people, it is a menace, a farce aad, in a greater part, a blantant lie, No one has ever attempted to give a sane or log- ical reason for its existence. Of course it is a good financial project and a fine exhibition to rekindle race and sectional fric- tion and it seems strange too, that Americans should be wont to stir up race and sectional friction at this time when the whole world have their daggars pointed at the U.S. A, it isa fright, suppose everything pre- sented in the clansman by Dixon is a historical fact, what is the object of recasting it? Who suid that the Negroes were not ignorant? Who said they were angels? As to the intermarry- ing or rather intermixing, who did it, Negro Men and white women or white men and negro women? Was it done by rapa- cious colored men or by aristo- cratic white men with untutor- ed and unrefined corored women? We have been wont to let this blood mixture business alone but those who did it are frightened by it or at it. What are you going to do about it? We don't know what the result will be and can offer but one remedy for the ailment, the Golden Rule.
