Case Attracted Much Attention. Mrs. Nellie Moss, widow of the late Benj. Moss, formerly a member and trustee of the Union Baptist Church, won a verdict of two thousand three hundred and three dollars and fifty cents ($2,303.50) from the Wimmer Construction Company, the people who are building the big Powder Plant just outside of Springfield. Moss sustained an injury to the arm and a few weeks later died of lobar pneumonia. The company refused to allow the widow anything. Suit was filed before the Industrial Board of Illinois by Attorney B. G. Clanton, who represented the Moss family. The case attached quite a deal of attention in court circles owing to the many new questions involved. Under the Employers' Liability Act any person getting injured by the negligence or carelessness, etc. of the employer is entitled to recover damages. BIG CONVENTIONS FOR 1916. There will be plenty of big gatherings this year. The first big gathering will be the General Conference of the M. E. Church at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. in May. Also the General Conference of the A. M. E. and C. M. E. Churches in June. Both the great political parties meet to nominate candidates for President and Vice President This will be a notable year, the like of which the country has not seen for 30 years. SANGAMON COUNTY POLITICS. Sangamon county republicans are now in splendid shape to elect their candidates this fall and in 1917, if we have no traitors. You will have to watch the faction that lost, they are very dangerous. Their own ambitions are superior to the ambition that they have for party success and efficient government. This year we elect a Coroner, States Attorney, County Recorder, County Auditor and Circuit Clerk. We have plenty of good men. For States Attorney there is no better or more deserving young man than C. F. Mortimer. Lee Elkin will make a splendid Circuit Clerk. Alvin S. Keys has made a good record as County Auditor. There are several men out for Coroner. No one is out for Recorder as yet but there are plenty of good men for the place. Two years hence we choose County Clerk, Probate Clerk, County Judge and Probate Judge, County Superintendent of Schools, County Trersurer and Sheriff of the county. Yon see we have plenty to prepare for right after the election in November. We also have this year representatives in the legislature to choose and two years hence the same and state Senator. K. OF P. ANNUAL SERMON. The Annual Sermon of the K. of P. Lodges and Hon' or Court of this district was held at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church Sunday, May 7th at 3:30 p. m. The sermon was preached by Rev. Wm. H. Brazie, the pastor, who was master of the occasion and who delivered a sermon long to be remembered. Major Otis B. Duncan presided and the annual address was delivered by Dr. N. B. Ford, whose eloquence and fine rhetoric bespoke the ability of the man. It was one of the best we have ever before listened to. A trombone duet was rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Petitt with piano accompaniment by Mrs. Alethea Beck. Collection for the occasion wat $20.60, after the expenses were paid the residue was given to the Court of Calanthe. WHEN THEY SOW TO THE WIND; THEY REAP THE WHIRLWIND. Governor Deneen had control of the state political machinery for 12 years and he came very nearly wrecking the republican party. He caused more defeats and more factions to be created within the party than the party had had for 40 years or more, now because he finally reaped what he himself had sown, he is ready to air the public life of every politician from Sherman down to precinct committeemen. He has met his Wellington and let him surrender or be annihilated, He would impugn Lowden, Sherman, McKinley, and Brumdage, his (Deneen's) former corporation council. He is trying to bring up the old Allen bill. The McKinley Railway, the Pullman Car Co, and a lot of rot, that even though there be some stains on some of the garments of those he assail, what has that to do with this campaign and these men? Are they not as nearly pure as their acuser and character assassin. Mr. Deneen? BIG SHERMAN BOOSTER MEETING. At the Circuit Court room Monday evening, May 15th was held the big rally for Sherman for President. Col. J. W. Jefferson presided, and, in a vein of enthusiasm stated the purpose of the call and reviewed the history of the republican party. The meeting was an enthusiastic one from start to finish. The first speaker was Harry Converse, who paid a glowing tribute to the G. O. P. and its men. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Northcott was called on next and delivered a masterly tribute to Sherman and all of the great men of party, telling in glowing terms the principles of the republican party and its illustrious history. Mr. C. F. Mortimer was spied and called forth to speak. As he came forward he was cheered vociferously. He made his usual eloquent appeal for the support of Sherman and the G. O. P. Mr. Mortimer is, no doubt, the finest young orator in the city, while Governor Northcott stands head in the class of the middle aged men. Geo. E. Keys was called and made a few remarks appropriate and manly. State Senator Smith also spoke enthusiastically for Sherman. THE MANAGEMENT OF THE NATION MUST BE TRANSFERED. Now the most stupid can see the difference between a republican and a democratic chief executive of this nation Mr. Wilson and his party have shown you (the jury) beyond a reasonable doubt, that they are not only not prepared but not capable to cope with the weighty problems confronting us, and which have confronted us, for the past five years. We need men at the head who know how and who have the backbone to execute that which they believe to be the best. The democrats have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. The time flies on with eagle-like rapidity and the 7th of June will surely be here ere you are aware. There and then there will be a great stir in the city of Chicago, the place of big conventions. Nobody knows what the outcome of that convention will be, but all hope that it will be the reverse of 1912. The temporary chairman has been selected and the preliminary work completed, all waiting for the big show, the great day. ($1.50 per Year in Advance 20 Cents per Month) estrial Edition HON. L. Y. SHERMAN J. G. O. P. CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT O Dr. N. B. Ford came to Springfield in 1909 and has made a phenominal record in medical surgery. He has a wide practice, is "universally" popular and is one of our leading physicians. He has successfully made some of the most difficult operations in surgery. He is a strict business man and whenever you call him you can depend upon a prompt response. SHERMAN'S STRENGTH LOOMS HIGH. SHERMAN'S STRENGTH LOOMS HIGH. As the National Convention draws near L. Y. Sherman of this state seems to grow stronger as the choice of the people for President of the United States, Roosevelt and Hughes seem to be the only significant rivals of Sherman. If the people desire a safe and able exponent on whom all factions can consistently rely. Sherman is the man. He is not an extremist, but he believes in America and American citizens first, "humanity" is included, of course, in the major premise. We are compelled to be for humanity in order to be for ourselves because we are a part of humanity. Humanity is the whole, of which America is only one of the component parts. The whole is equal to all of its parts. There can be no whole without all of its parts being united. Published every Saturday at 819 1-2 E. Washington street, Springfield, Ill.

SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1916 Governor Deneen is to go on the war path and expose the faults of all the men with whom he does not agree and show their dirty lives for 20 years past. Wonder will he forget to exhibit any of his own as a conspicuous relic? The Illinois State Register, which does more to create factional strife in the republican party than it does to win victories within its own ranks, wonders whether the Journal will support Dr. Wheeler for Governor or not. The Register also avers that Dr. Wheeler is the first Republican to have the termity to stand on a platform of law enforcement; by qualifying the statement the Register desires you to know that Dr. Wheeler is not the only man to run on a law enforcement platform, but the only republican. If you will read between the lines you will find that the democratic organ is more like Brutus than Cassius or any of the conspirators, it pretends always: not to love "Caesar less but Rome more," now since the Register is a loyal friend of Wheeler's and of law enforcement, we desire to know if the Register will support Dr. Wheeler instead of some outside candidate who is not running on a law enforcement platform, as the Register sees it? It is not necessary for you to merely assert that you are just as good or just as competent as some body else—that must be proved. You may and you may not be. The same is true of a whole race, community or family. Mr. Jas. B. Osby may be in the race for coroner of Sangamon Co. 4 years ago Mr. Osby was a o candidate for coroner. There are more candidates out for coroner than any other Co. office. Villa has been found both dead and alive. They haye evidence that he is dead and they have the evidence that he is alive. So the main question is, which side has the greater weight of the evidence, the dead side or the live side. It is to be hoped that the Baptists of this country will harmonize their differences, created at the last convention. The split will retard the great material and constructive work more than anything else. There must be a uniting in self defense. If there cannot be an amalgamation there will be a great disintegration and the great publishing business will dwindle to a mere one horse business—perhaps. But even, if there is no chance for reconciliation and reuniting, it is to be hoped that the great work will not be reduced or retarded materially, even if there be two National Conventions. The colored man in business must compete and give service equally as good as other men in business inorder to do business. Patronizing you because you are colored is not worth a dough-nut.

In this issue appears a large advertisement of R. F. Herndon and Co., one of the oldest establishments in this city, a firm name closely associated with the rise and growth of Springfield. It will be a special favor to us and will not hurt you, if you (Colored people) will make this store your principal trading place. This store is not drawing the "color line" but showing its appreciation of the colored people by advertising in a colored paper. This is what we want, so reciprocate. Show Herndon & Co. that you are cognizant of what this means. John Lutz We desire to call the attention of the Colored people to Mr. John Lutz's ad in this paper. He advertises liberally in the Colored papers and we want you to make his store your hat and shirt buying place. You are aware of the fact that his is the finest store of goods of its kind, not only in this city, but in central Illinois. The Display windoes substanciate our claim. They have nothing but high-grade goods, hence you can't get "bit." Miss Edith Jones, a promising young elocutioniste, recited very creditably before the culture club recently.

BASE BALL. Union Giants vs. Peoria Sunday, May 21, witnessed the largest crowd ever before at Union Giant's Park. The grand stand and bleachers could not hold the fans. Ladies were out in large numbers. The Peorians came well armed and had a band to break the monotony, but there was not much monotony. Poston pitched another fine fine game and was well supported. The best batting was done by Wallace, Cansler, M. Wright and Lonnie Jones, all of whom hit to a double to second. The Peorians have a fine pitcher and one superbbatter, Lynch, who knocked the ball over the east fence. It was a fine game. Score— Giants 4, Peoria 3.
