Last Saturday morning it COM
menced showing and the tempera-
ture began to fall considerable. It
continued showing all day Sunday
with the temperature several de-
grees below zero. Monday re-
manned cold, with a clear sky, and
the snow did not melt any. This
condition delayed the hauling of
beets and made it very inconvea-
lent to the beet grower.

When you want good job of print
ing done just take your copy to a
printer and tell him to do you a Sood
job, and he will. II you think you
know more about the business than he
does and select your paper and instruct
him what type to use and all the little
details you will get botch job. A
printer working under instructions
from one who knows nothing about the
business, no matter IL he is an expert,
cannot get out a neat job.

New York.-The Urban league closed
the last ten days of its fiscal year,
ending In September, with financial
campaign to raise $1,000 in order to
complete its years work without
deficit. John D. Rockefeller and A. T.
White pledged $1,000 Of this amount
If the 1880 could be raised before the
fiscal year expired. The league was
successful In raising this sum through
the assistance of many wealthy people
Of the downtown district and several
of the leading colored citizens.
Among the colored people who con-
tributed substantially to the campaign
are: Rev. Hutchins G. Bishop, Bishop
Alexander Walters, Dr. Leo Fitz Near
on, Mrs. Leila Walker Robinson, Hon.
Charles W. Anderson, Edward A. War
rem, Mrs. W. f. Trotman, DR.. e. P.
Roberts. Fred r. Moore, Claude NJ.
Motion, Major r. r. Motion and men,
bers OF the Union Baptist church, of
which DR.. G.. II. Sims is pastor
The league is extending its work To-
cally by the opening OF a branch office
at 202 West Sixty-third street, this
city. Miss Vivienne A. Ward. for
many years an assistant in the indus
trial department of the league, will be
placed I'm charge of the office, which
will be conducted in cooperation with
the work of the Lincoln House.
The league recently completed an in
tensive investigation of the social
causes underlying the high infant NOR
tally on Columbus hill. When the
facts discovered are presented in final
form by Miss Naomi B. Spencer, In
vestigator, the work of organizing a
movement for reducing this death rate
will be inaugurated. This win take
the shape of house to house visits to
mothers OF young babies by expert
enced nurses and women who know
the best methods OF rearing children
and possibly the establishment OF a
day nursery.
The extension of the leagues work
to other cities will be carried on Wig
orously during the winter. Eugene
Kinckle Jones, executive secretary OF
the league, will spend most OF his time
In October in Chicago and Cleveland
to promote movements In those cities.
Mr.. Jones has visited Richmond and
Washington in the same connection.
DR.. George e. Haynes, executive sec
rotary, with headquarters in Nashville.
Tenn. visited cities In Tennessee dur
ing September for the same purpose.
In conducting the work of the league
during the past year more than 100000
has been expended through the leagues
treasury. The colored people have con-
tributed more toward this work this
year than at any time since the league
has been organized.

The GENERATOR
Vote mo" On This Proposition.
Women Can Vote.

Women Can Vote.
Much has been said about the
City's generator and the City s
rights to manufacture its own cleo
tricity and sell to private consum-
ers, but the question is; can the
City afford to plunge head-long in
to this mere experiment and
speculation at this time2
We contend that it is jeopardiz-
ing the pocket books of the poor
people who are heavily taxed al
ready. 1t is not safe to undertake
too much at this early stage. If
the city will cooperate with the
Utilities Co. and not fight too
much, we will have gas, electricl-
ty, and everything else, reduced
to minimum.
The reason our City has 80 few
factories and such little public i'm
provemenJs is because the City is
fighting the foreign Capital, the
very backbone of every important
enterprise. Indifference and non
cooperation is what caused this
CITY to lose the Interurban shops,
which Decatur gained. Fighting
caused this city to lose the great
output of coal she formerly sent
to large concerns in Chicago. Too
many strikes and too much fighting.
Therefore, women and men vot-
ers, alike, when you go to vote
Tuesday, remember that the
Springfield Railway Co., has done
more for the progress of this city
during the past decade than any
other enterprise. VOTE MOI
The Forum is for Springfield
and believe in her ultimate sue
cess in the purchase of generators
and everything needed, but we are
candid enough to say that we are
opposed to the city going further
in debt just to compete with the
present private company.
Mr.. Mackie and the heads of
this company are doing a good
work. They have made it posi-
BILE for the poorer people to have
all the modern and convenient
cooking appliances; they have ex-
tended the gas mains into the re-
hottest parts of the city, so as to
be disable by most any one who
desires gas for cooking.
You women are indebted to the
Gas Company for reducing your
burdens at the wash tub and the
ironing board. So do not be pre-
JUDGED by your friend, the City
Generator. VOTE MOI
If you give the Gas & Electric
Company a chance you will see
astonishing improvements in our
city. We now have cars running
to the most remote parts; special
cars are furnished for picnics, par
ties, conventions, baseball, and on
demand, for most any uses, at a
very reasonable charge.
The colored people have no COM
plant against this Company, which
gives them fair proportion of
employment and will do more, if
we push our claim and prepare
for same.
VOTE NO on the proposition
and do not burden yourself and
your children with more taxes and
less accommodations.
Let us stand by the Utilities Co.
which has stood by and helped the
city.

The DEMOCRATIC PARTY
And The NEGRO

ages old and its future hopes hung
to the foot of the imagination
chasing the non.existing goal. 1t
believes not in the great doctrine
of humanity and the golden rule
of the great sages of the world. 1t
seeks to limit Justice to man unless
he can qualify under the loving
folds of the grand fathers clause
to some of our election laws.
This old party dreams white.
thinks white and sees only white.
1t forgets or tries to ignore the
fact that the great God peopled
his world with men of all hues
an colors. No party has a right
to live that forgets the old world
is yet full of color and produces
men of every shade just as she has
always done.
Look at the old beast to-day
She still flies the white flag and
lesircs no other. She says it is
- 4 enough for her. She is proud
of The little of white lily which is
veil known in some parts of the
Country.
Look with me Ut the old bulletin
where we used to find the names
of Negro men appointed to the
register of the U. S. Treasury,
Marshall of the District of Colum-
bia, Ministers to Hayti, and San
Domingo, and lastly but not the
least, dog catcher about the Capt.
tol grounds. Whom do we find
filling these places to-day2 If a
Negro is found in any, hang me
with the Atlantic cable.
Let us visit Shadow Lawn, not
to witness the notification cere-
mony because we will not be adj
mitted2 There would have ap-
peared a black speck in the white
flag then. Had this accident oc.
cured, Pitch Fork Ben, Beasy,
John Shark Bill and a whole lot
of other doves of their kind in
Dizzy would have done the suicide"
stunt. This would have been bad.
Again, let us look over the dem
ec...tic platform of last June. Can
you find any thing looking black
in it, except the ink used2 You
see that would have blotted the
old flag again. 1t reminds me of
that old decision laid down by old
man Judge Tanney against poor
old uncle bred Scott.
There are some good men in the
old party but they have joined in
bad company. | have known and
still know some good men in the
democratic party. 1t seems to be
well for the party that these good
men are there or the whole bunch
of them would have long ago
jumped into the river.
Since these are historic facts
given above, what is the Negro
going to do on the 7th day of No
vemberY Well, what is left for
US to do, this is the questions The
Socialist cannot give us anything
yet; we have not yet been very
largely converted to prohibition:
and we have no party wholly our
own.
The grand old Republican party
has always believed in human
rights and shown a love of justice
so many times that no sane man
will question it. 1t has always
advocated flag of many colors,
like Joe's coat in the Good Book.
This old party has always given
the Negro job other than that
knight of the mop" and spit cup
washer. No, you will find no
grand fathers clause in the cleo
ton laws within its borters.
During all of fifty-six years,
saving twelve, this old party en-
camped about the White House,

Department Store Efficiency.

That this is the age of commercial ism is even shown by the visitors to New York city. Formerly they has tened to see Eden musee, Grants tomb and other notable landmarks. Now their first stop is at the depart ment stores, and these seem to be continual surprise and an ever-increas. ing source of astonishment It is hard for the visitors to realize that under one roof everything one needs from the cradle to the coffin can be ob- tained, and with no more difficulty or delay than the small town merchant takes to wrap up a paper of pins Few realize what constant supervision must be exercised over every depart. ment to see that losses are cut to the minimum, and that not only every article must be kept in it's place, but also that the warehouses must be well stocked with goods to take care of any early calls for renewing the stock An example of the high efficiency un der which this class of stores is run can be seen in the fur storage depart ment of one of the local stores. Dur. ing the last summer they stored over 5000 articles valued at nearly a mil lion dollars, and their total losses on the same were $25.-Wall Street Jour nal.

PLEA FOR INDUSTRIAL COURTS
Have Accomplished Good, Accord ing to This Writer

As long ago as 1906 France created industrial courts, and the example has been followed by Germany, Switzer- land, Italy and Belgium, says George Creel in the Century. "A president, who represents the public, and an equal number of workers and en- ployers sit as jury rather than as court. Lawyers are barred; the par ties to the dispute take turns relating grievance and defense, and in conse- quence of this simplicity, 90 per cent of the cases are adjusted without for nal hearings. In event of threatened strikes or lockouts, the courts have the power to sit as boards of arbitra- tion, and it is only in rare cases that satisfactory agreements are not reached"
 Compare the simplicity of this pro cedure with the American method of frequent trials, frequent appeals, re- versed decisions, remanded cases, court costs, lawyers fees and months of delay, gantlet that no poor man dares to run. The dollar out of which an alien is cheated may mean to him the difference between a bed or a park bench and certainly his sense of in- justice will not inspire him with re- spect for democratic institutions.
