our blood boils when the educated

regard each assertion as an unfriendly
encroachment upon our native

HARRY w. WILSON FOR THE
LEGISLATURE.

We call your attention to the candi-
dacy of Harry W. Wilson, Republican
candidate for the lower house of the
Illinois General Assembly, and ask for
him your undivided support. Mr.sWil
son is In politics a Republican, but
owing to the fact that he ranks high
in the American Federation of Labor
is looked upon more as friend to the
laboring man than special factor IN
any political party.
He was overwhelmingly elected two
years ago, and during the last Gen
eral Assembly did yeoman work IN
the House in behalf of legislation
friendly to the miners and the toilers.
Mr.. Wilson has always proven to be
a consistent friend to the Colored man
lust as he is to other men, and when
ever the opportunity presented itself
he has befriended them. He has as
sisted young Colored men in securing
scholarships at the University of Hi
nois at Champaign.
We commend Mr.. Wilson to the
voters of this and Morgan county as
not only an able man but an expe
rienced man, and a safe one for the
very responsible position to which he
aspires. When Mr.. Wilson was chair
man of the Labor Day celebration in
1898, he saw to. it that the Colored
people were highly recognized by EN-
ploying a brass band and also helping
and recognizing Colored preachers in
the city.

MIR. TAFT AND THE NEGRO.

President Taft, in his inaugural ad
dress, gave voice to the following sen
timent which has been carried at the
masthead of The Age for number
of weeks: ANY recognition of distin
guished Negroes, any appointment to
office from among their number, is
properly taken as an encouragement
and an appreciation of their pro
gress, and this just policy shall be
pursued.
Advices from Beverly are to the ef
feet that in a recent conference with
a number of Negro leaders, President
Taft indicated that, in the orderly pro
cess of dealing with all of the prob
lens which require attention at his
hands, he is considering the whole
Negro situation. With regard to the
especial sentiment from his address
which we have just quoted it may be
stated that the President has already
ordered the appointment of Mr..
James G. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn,
to be Register of the United States
Treasury He has also, as our read
ers know, appointed to the Collector
ship of the port of Georgetown, ID. c.,
Mr.. Whitefield McKinlay, man of
engaging parts and splendid ability
In opening new place of substance
and quality to which former Governor
P. B. S. Pinchback has been appoint
ed, the President is showing his will
lingness to recognize the Northern.
Negro in an effective and potent way.
1t was stated in the dispatches, which
we published from time to time from
Beverly, that "a number of appoint
ments out of the ordinary class OF
places usually bestowed upon Negroes
are likely soon to be made" We are
very glad to make note of this state
ment, and we very much hope that The
Age, together with Negro papers
throughout the country, may soon
have the privilege of chronicling the
Presidents friendly disposition not
only to consider the appointment of
Negroes to important places in the
North, but that he may also not per
nit others to interpret the intent of
his inaugural address with regard to
positions in the South We do not be-
lieve that there should be a line
against us in the North nor against
us In the South.
The President has assured various
groups of colored men who have seen
him lately that the Negro people in
the future will have no cause for
complaint at his hands. This news to
us is most gratifying, and we are
quite disposed to trust the President
further in view of the assurances ne
has given as to his early intentions
The appointments above mentioned
are high class and are an earnest, we
hona of otbore of like importance

DEMOCRACY AND THE

We do not desire to uphold any mis-
conduct of the Republican party, local

Register one question, very pertinent
question, to-wit Granting that the
Republicans are responsible for high
tariff, the high price of food stuffs,
and too, the high price paid wage earn

Democratic administrations, one in
1885 to 1885,, and the other in 1893 TO
1897, that we had sucn hard times,
panics, soup houses and the famous
Coxey's Army business? During
first term, be it remem-
bered, the Democrats did not have alb
solute control of the legislative power
at Washington, hence things were not
as bad as the second term.
This is fair question and we hope

characteristic letter to the Illinois

Murray.
In Judge Lindsey's telegram to
Judge Murray he said he heard of the

done by Judge Murray in the Juvenile
court here. He says further he hopes
Judge Murray will be reelected, and

he would come to Springfield to assist

this kind, and | can truly say that
none of them have impressed me more
than Judge Murray as being in every
respect qualified for that position.

none in the case of Judge Murray. Any

exhibit came in for its share OF
praise. In many OF the departments
the entries far exceeded those, OF any
previous year, and each year of the
fair, these entries will increase in
number as interest in the Fair is
awakened.
