NEGRO CONTRIBUTIONS TO
Y. M. G. A. FUND.

The generous advances of Ju-
ius Rosenwald and of N. W. Har-
ris have been met, and more than
met, by the enterprise of the col
ored people of Chicago. The con-
ditions imposed by these two pub
lic-spirited citizens, when offering
contributions toward the construc-
ton and equipment of Y. M. G.
A. building for Negroes, have led
to great activity among the city s
colored population, which, within
less than a fortnight, has collected
not only the $4,000 that was stip-
ulated, but total fund of $4,000
in excess of that amount. As an
immediate result Of such energy
and liberality, a third donation
of $25, 1000, like the other two
has been made by Cyrus II. Nc
Cormick.
The capacity of the Negroes for
serviceable organization and eff
fective action has thus received a
striking exemplifcation. Their
own iberality and promptitude, in
connection with the generosity of
well-wishers among the othe rrace,
results In the assurance of a fine
new edifice to cost some $150,000
and to serve as a social and educa-
tional center for young colored
people desirous of turning them
selves to good account.
The best help is self-help. Such
effort leads to increased self-re-
spect and also to increased respect
on the part of the community in
general. The conduct of our col
ored citizens during the campaign
just closed will lead, as they can
not but learn, to a double gain

Mr.. Roy M. Seeley, for six
years City Attorney, who, each
succeeding term was elected by
an increased majority, is out for
Mayor Of Springfield, under the
new form. Mr.. Seeley is well
known and very popular. His
record as City Attorney is unas-
sailable and he has not neglected
a single duty during his incum-
bency in this office. He is an af-
fable young man and, relying on
his past record and public expe-
rience, is out for this exalted po-
sition.
He has always got a large per-
centage of the Colored vote and is
still hoping and expecting to re-
ceive the same support. He be-
lieves in fair deal and all men
up, not some men down. We have
always been an ardent supporter Of
Mr.. Seeley and can safely com
mend him to our readers.
