Does the Tree Bear Fruit?

The Forum, together with the
better element of colored people in
the city have for the past six
years or more, upheld our leaders
and legislators from this county
and district in whatever they were
out for. We have stood with them
and their faction with unswerv-
ing tenacity and have not yet fall
tered. The people have begun to
complain because no colored men
are given recognition by the rep
resentatives from this city. Not
a single valiant soldier has been
given lucrative representative
place from this city in six or eight
years outside of small city job
or janitorship. They are now ask
ing why cannot the men we elect
and support give a reputable col
ored man something commensur-
ate with the support from this dis
trictY We can't answer this ques-
ton. We have given good support
to the progressive element or the
state administration and its adj
herents for over six years and our
reward has been most meagre and
stingy. The Democrats have stood
Loyalty by the men who helped
them get ashore and we laud them
for it. We hope our men may see
the error of their way and at least
reciprocate.
The Forum S readers will have
to be shown, as they are from
Missouri-most of them. SO far
the trees have borne no fruit so
far as the representative colored
men are concerned. No fruit
worth while. There is yet time for
redemption, but. the Spirit is not
TO dwell amongst men forever. If
the trees do not bear fruit they
should be hewn down and burned
in a consuming fire.
