Mr.. Robert W. De Forest. counsel for
Mrs. Russell Sage, in discussing the plans
for administering the foundation Of &lO,-
mD.oD recently contributed by Mrs
Sage for Inc improvement Of social con-
ditiOnS, said that Sh" was especially in
trrcStcd in the living conditions of the
poor and unfortunate, and that it was
her intention to take an active part per-
sonalIy in distributing the income of the
fund, which would amount to about $780,

would be applied very largely to existing
charities, but if investigation showed that
anything could be accomplished by a cam
paign of education along certain lines,
such work would be taken up. Mrs. Sage

and any others who do not get the best
results ont Of social conditions. should
find a way to improve them, and should
be helped to improve them. if necessary.

Look Out For The
Cars!!!
Editor of The Forum:

Editor of The Forum:
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to ask some ques-
tions of the colored people IN
this city.
How can we as colored people,
afford to patronize White City?
This is the place where no
person of color is Welcome dur.
ing the open season, but now,
when no other people on earth
want to go to White City. the
Negroes of Springfield are asked
to enter this jim crow park and
play second fiddle.
We do no. desire, as a race;
any special privileges, nor do we
care to go where we are not
wanted But we believe in
square deal, and if we can't go to
see and hear the attractions at
White City during the summer,
when our wives and children de
sire an evenings outing, why go
now? Let us be men. and like
men, refuse to go to White City.
And besides, the committee in
charge Of the celebration at the
White City had the temerity to
hire band from out of town,
while here in our own city we
have good band composed of
our own boys (and union band
at that) who make good music,
and play for union prices. This
home band will be at Lick Greek,
six miles south on the Interurban
where Hon. W. II. Vernon, the
Register Of the Treas dry, the
greatest orator alive, will speak
at 80 p. m., on Monday, Sep
tember 90, 1907.
Come out to the Lick Creek
Park Hear Vernon. catch fish
and hear our own band!
Follow the crowd.

THE WHITE CITY CELEBRATION.

Your attention is called to the fact
that, as the White City closed Septem-
ber Sth, the management has been
kind enough to grant their Amuse-
ment Park free of charge to the Eman-
cipation Committee as place for cell
ebrating the Forty fifth Annual Procla-
nation of the Emancipation. Forty
five years ago. September 22d, Lincoln
issued his conditional protocol, hence
the choosing of that date instead of
January 1st, when the same went into
effect.
The White City offers all conve-
niences and women and children may
go there and spend the day for 10
cents The committee has prepared 4
magnificent program and selected men
of national repute to appear on same.
At night Arion Hall will be used for
the finale.

boots were the pride and JOY of your
heart. They had shiny red tops then
and the copper looked like gold, and
nary a chill touched the legs Of the
boy who wore them. If you will re-

The In1luence of Books.

Books have always a secret influence
on the understanding. We cannot at
pleasure obliterate ideas. He that
reads books of science, though without
any desire fixed of Improvement, will
grow more knowing. He that enter
tains himself with moral or religious
treatises will imperceptibly advance in
goodness. The ideas which are often
offered to the mind will at last find a
lucky moment when it is disposed to
receive them.-Samuel Johnson.
