Attention!
Our next special edition will
be out August 6. and the people
who are desirous of getting in
this number should come and see
us, we can’t see you all. It wiU
cost a small sum only to get your
cut made and get you before the
people. If you are a brick mason

Drofessional man it nav<s Tf von
remain still and let a few people
get all the advertising, they will
have all the business and you
will wonder why you do not get
your share and it is simply be
cause you are not progressive
enough to advertise yourself,
lying back, saying, “the people
know me,” is not the 20th cen
tury motto. We will do what we
say. We have mailed a bundle
of our last edition to Jamestowr
and Topeka. So begin early, il
you desire to be shown up tocely
in o ur next souvenir edition.
STATE RIGHTS.
San Francisco’s display of her
petty jealousies or prejudices to
ward the Japanese will do more
to arouse sentiment for a strong
centralized government than all
the pronunciamentos of Roose
velt and Root. As we have
pointed out heretofore, the peo
ple of the country, as a whole,
like the J ipinese and welcome
them to the confines of the Unit,
ed States Yet, a few cities on
mo cueist controlled oy isoor
unions would bring on complica
tions that are liable to embroil
the whole country in a war.
In the event that these com
plications which seem to be on
the increase, should involve this
country in war. what pesition
would the N-‘gro take? Would
he forget that the Japanese
would be fighting to break up the
very thing against which we as a
race have complained, take up
his gun and defend “old glory?"
Or, would he, naturally sympa
thizing with Japan, aid that
country? Or would he remain
neutral, simply tending to his
own business as a private citizen?
If “state rights" and city
rights involve this nation in a
war with a first class foreign
power such as Japan i', the race
problem will take on an impor
tance never known before in this
country.—Nashville Globe.
Neutrality would be the only
log cal and proper thing. You
see we are American citizens and
to take up arms against our own
country would be treason accord
ing to lex loci, though The Fo
rum would not favor our people
fighting another race who simply
are asking for treaty rights and
rights guaranteed to them by our
own constitution. The United
States is too intelligent to be
precipitated into war on the
above named grounds for that
our constitution is a farce or that
there is such a thing as state
rights. Secretary Root says it is
prohibitory and not compulsory,
i. e., the constitution does not
say that you must allow all to go
to the same schools, but it does
say you shall not build schools
ar.d exclude some on racial or
any other grounds
Last of Negro Troops Soon to
Leave the Fort.
In pursuance of a policy which
has been adopted by the war de
partment, the two troops of ne
gro cavalry now remaining at
Fort Sheridan have been ordered
to leave on July 23 for th Phil
ippines. Their place will be ta
ken by several squadrons of the
Thirteenth (white) cavalry which
will come in September from
Fort Riley, Kas. No more ne
gro troops will be quartered at
the post.
Nine squadrons of the Ninth
cavalry regiment, colored, were
transferred last Aug ist to Fort
Sheridan from a post in Tennes
see. Soon afterward a storm of
protest arose, particularly among
residents of Evanston and Lake
Forest.
Senator Shelby M. Cullom laid
the matter before the war depart
ment; asking that the negro
troops be removed if "practiable.
Little was done, however, until
after the ‘'Brownsville affair,”
which, it is understood at Fort
Sheridan, convinced President
Rooseve|t that it might be well
to use the colored soldiers in the
Philippines and Cuoa. All the
colored troops which were at Fort
Sheridan except the two which
will depart on Ju y 23; have been
sent to the Philippines.—Chicago
Tribune.
Why did Uncle Shelby recom
m-jnd that the Negro troops all
be sent to the Philippines? Is
the defiant question.
The R« gublican party is likeiy

strong, militant, trinmphant body

up our minds that we shall have
to go against the hot end of it.

NEWSPAPER LAW.
1. Subscribers who do not give ex
press notice to the contrary are con
sidered as wishing to continue sub
scriptions.

tinuance of their periodicals, the pub

»o take their periodicals from post
office to which they are directed they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon
tinued.
4. If the subscriber moves to an
other place without informing the pub
lisher, and the papers are sent to the
former directions, they are held re

6. The courts have decided that
the refusing to take periodicals from
