A NEWSPAPER CENSOR.

The Forum believes in the freedom
of the press, religious freedom and,
in general, everything in reality Amer
lean. But because of the fact that
there is creeping into our body polite
a false conception of the Interpretation
of the Constitution, many newspapers
run and controlled by fire-brands and
people of anarchistic leanings, we be
lieye that there should be a public
censor, whose duty it shall be to see
that those "fire-eaters" do not be al
lowed unlimited sway.
There should be also care taken to
suppress the publication of mere" re-
ports. There are papers here in
Springfield that need censor. These
papers publish matter and have no
grounds for the authenticity of the
same Sometimes it almost causes a
riot, and on closer investigation, it
was found to be erroneous reports.
Sensational newspapers are menace
and should be suppressed.

We are not as yet able to say that We

EDITORIAL
THE CITY ELECTION.

Next spring we are to elect mayor,
a city treasurer, city attorney, one
assessor, a city clerk, seven aldermen,
seven members of the county board of
supervisors, all important Offices.
1t is not premature to consider men
for these various places who are really
able. capable and fit men for the
places.
There should not be so much strife
in the primaries, which primaries, If
the present law holds good, will be
held in February.
There are, at every election, am
bilious young men aspiring for high
honors, and in most cases the ambition
exceeds the ability and the fitness of
the man to fill the place.

Our Telephone is: Main, Bell 1906

The Colored people of Sangamon
county are entitled to something more
than mere cantor jobs" in the court
house, and If the victorious Republi-
cans are WISE they will not stop at
cantor Jobs" The victorious Repub-
Iitans know that every vote counted
and counted big" in some instances.
Republicans won out in the First, and
some of them, even won in the Sixth
ward-all won in the Negro precincts
We believe the Republicans will do the
right thing.
Give us some deputy sheriffs, one
clerk. two or three janitors and some
of the public patronage and we will
always do our full duty.

The breaking in the Colored coach
on the p. & A. railroad last Tuesday
morning by a mob of white men at
Gull Point, eight or nine miles east OF
Pensacola for the purpose OF MURDER
ing a prisoner who was chained mana
and foot, was one of the most daring
| feats at lynching we have ever heard
of.
1t is said that perfect pande-
monium prevailed in the white as well
/ as the Colored coaches during the
mob's onslaught on the car windows
and doors to reach their victim.
viii this condition of things ever
die ont? No. The spirit of mob VIC
lence will continue, because younger
white men are being educated in the
same spirit of wreaking vengeance on
the helpless wretch, regardless oil
their innocence or guilt.
If there is no authority for Con
gress to act in the matter, then the
constitution ought to be amended,
making it penalty on every county
or state in the sum of twenty-five or
fifty thousand dollars, payable to the
representatives of every man or wo-
man who may be murdered by mob.

Your proposition as to the rem
edy is good, but we are little
more optimistic. We believe mob
violence will be stopped in the
course of two more decades. 1t S
an awful thing, and this nation
will pay the debt.

While Representative Duncan E.
McKinlay Of California has been max
ing missionary speeches in Kansas IN de-
fense Of the tariff. it is feared he has
been nesleaing his home district. The
Chico Daily Enterprise of Chico, Cali
fornia. has this to say editorially:
1t is fine thing to be represented in
congress by selfmade man Of McKiin-
lays abilities. who has worked his way
up from being humble carriage painter
to that Of the leading apologist for the
support Of the republican administration
Of an unjust and unpopular tariff law, but
it is a dangerous policy to get too far out
Of touch with an earnest and indignant
constituency and unless signs on every
hand are misleading. the people Of this
congressional district have little sympathy
with McKinlay's attitude toward Speak
er Cannon or with his pro Payne-Al-
drich tariff views.

An "old fashioned republican" writes
to the New York World to say: The
income tax amendment to the consttu-
tion Of the United States is the over
shadowine issue. 1t was projected into
the campaign by President Taft himself.
In his FIRST message to congress and in
numerous speeches. after first insisting
that congress could under the cons6tu-
hon as it is, pass an income tax law that
would steer clear Of the objections raised
by the supreme court to the last income
tax, he urged congress to submit the pro-
posed amendment to the states for rati-
6cation. The amendment is IN great
danger Of being defeated. President T.
must know this. and yet IN his speech at
the Lincoln banquet Of the republican
club he omitted all reference to it. A
heartv, enthusiastic word from him would
help it on. Why did he remain silentp''
