MUTILATED PAGE Volume 27 McKINLEY PARK CHAU TAUQUA AT SACRA- MENTO. The McKinley Park Chautauqua at Sacramento under the auspices of the Sacramento Valley Baptist Young People is an assured fact. The grounds have been secured and the city park commissioners are leaving no unturned to get the grounds hape and to make the park as active as possible. Have you ever visited McKinley Park? It is one of the most beautiful places in all California. It lays just south of Sacramento and contains about forty or fifty acres. The large oak trees have made almost a continuous canopy overhead, thereby shutting out the sun at all hours of the day. Its pleasure features are almost unexcelled. There are great spaces for baseball, lawn tennis, croquet and a swimming pool, also a small zoo. The park affords all the sport and pleasure that one might look for. Main Features of the Chautauqua. The main features of the Chautauqua will be a great gathering of prominent orators, the learned men of both races. For when we tell you that the coming of ex-Attorney-General W. H. Lewis of Boston and Miss N. H. Burroughs is assured, together with the probable appearance of Bishop Parks of the A. M. E. Church; W. T. Vernon, ex-registrar of the treasury; Drs. McCoy and Gordon of Los Angeles, and other prominent men of the South, you will agree with me that there will be a great concourse of racial intellect that this race can be proud of, men able from every standpoint, orators of no mean ability, the most of them having national reputation. Together with the best who are members of our race there will also be present the governor of the state, the attorney-general of the state, the attorney-general of the state, the United States senator from our state and congressmen from our state, together with such men of our general association as Drs. J. M. Riddle, G. C. Coleman and J. T. Jones, Professor L. J. Williams and others of our local district of the Young People's Union and Sunday School. Now when I say that McKinley Park during the 23d of June and the 1st of July will be the Mecca for intelligence I feel assured that you, after reading the above names of the persons spoken of and being acquainted with them from a religious and political standpoint you will say with me that it is worth paying a visit to the Chautauqua. The Purpose of the Chautauqua. The purpose of the Young People's Chautauqua is to bring about a large united social gathering of our young people. Each summer we find that the Sunday schools and young people's societies give pictures where one or two of the local Sunday schools and young people's societies gather together for their social pleasure. The pleasure resorted to is not always of the most desirable kind, therefore the president of our Sacramento Valley B. Y. P. U. Convention conceived the idea of holding a general outing for the young people of Sacramento Valley. To carry out the idea a committee was appointed composed of the following: Rev. G. W. Reed of Stockton, chairman; Mrs. M. F. Gaither of Woodland, Rev. W. M. Dixon of Sacramento, Rev. J. L. Allen of Marysville, Mrs. L. S. Diggs of Woodland, Mr. L. Williams of Marysville and Prof. C. H. Toney of Vallejo, he being one of the pastors of the Sacramento Valley district. The committee, after getting together, decided that it would be a good thing to make the outing a general one, not simply to confine its pleasures to the young people of the Sacramento valley district, but to invite all the young people as well as the older people of Northern California to participate at this great social meeting. That something worth while might be the result of this great meeting the committee outlined the following as the plans for the Chautauqua for the social, industrial and religious benefit of the young people of our community and the outlying districts. To carry out this plan is the reason why we have gone to the expense and have invited the persons cited above. The several district conventions which compose the General Baptist Association hae been invited to hold their respective conventions at McKinley Park during the Chautauqua, and there will be a day or days given to each of the district conventions for the purpose of holding their convention. Another great feature of the Chautauqua will be a mammoth choir consisting of 150 voices, under the directorship or several of the best singers obtainable in Northern California. Time, Place and Rates. The time of the beginning of the Chautauqua will be the 23d of June, and will hold eight days, closing on the first day of July. The place will be McKinley Park, southern section of Sacramento, the same being reached by two car lines running at intervals of five minutes from the uptown section of the city. Rates have been secured from all roads entering into Sacramento of one and one-third fare for the round trip. Accommodations. Sleeping accommodations will be right on the grounds. There will be tents provided with two cots. The prices for lodging will not be over 25 cents, and probably less, especially for parties who desire to stay longer than one night. The rates will be fixed according to the time the parties are to hold the tent. Refreshments of all kinds will be on the grounds. A great mammoth platform is built for the purpose of the meeting. This platform is surrounded by beautiful trees, completely covering the platform, thereby shutting out the sun, causing the place to be cool throughout the day. Motion pictures by our Bro. Rev. Dixon will be one of the main features each evening of the Chautauqua. For further information concerning the Chautauqua you may address Rev. G. W. Reed, chairman, box 692, Stockton, Cal., or Mrs. L. S. Diggs, 914 North street, Woodland, Cal. Los Angeles, Cal., March 28, 1914 SPARKS AND REECHOES Gathered from Dr. Washington Dear readers, now that the great Southern champion of human rights has come and completed his mission with us, and gone, he has left us under hevier responsibilities than we were before he came among us. In proportion as we have been enlightened through his wonderful lectures, our visions for greater active usefulness should have become broader, deeper and brighter, and hence our ambitions as individuals should be correspondingly stronger to get out of ourselves and to do more than ever for the uplift of the race. It should be remembered that the history of mankind as far back as we have any record shows that theer has always been just three distinct classes in the world. First, the active and the public-spirited class, who knows that he is his brother's keeper, and who is willing to make sacrifice of time and means for the good of his brother. And second, the active and the conservative class, who take all of their time looking after themselves and their own pecuniary benefits. Third, we find the shiftless, and the careless class, neither caring for themselves or any one else. The human family all over the civilized world is made up of these three elements. We have them here in our city. God has so arranged it, and He has planted certain gifts in the individual which seems to push him forward (sometimes) at a great sacrifice, to the rescue of men and races of whom them have no persona lacquaintance. This is class one. Class two are barely capable of looking after themselves, and perchance they may be large enough to think of their five brothers or their very near personal friends. Class three represents those who seems to be wholly unconcerned about the moral, spiritual, intellectual, or the financial welfare of themselves, their children, or of any one else. This class represents the field of labor in which we are called upon to go into and work. Dr. Washington in all of his addresses urged us strong to reach this class and to try to arouse them to the sense of their responsibilities as human beings. It is a fact that this class never come in direct contact with our great men. Many of our city do not even know of the great works of Dr. Washington nor of his recent visit to us, and many of them have never made a personal study of the Gospel and what it means to them. We have before us a great work. Let us make a few suggestions as to how you may become more able to enlarge your field for a more effective work as an individual. First, if you are not a subscriber to some one or another of our race papers, you should see to it at once that you subscribe. Don't depend upon getting your neighbor's paper, but pay for one yourself, and when you shall have finished reading it pass it to some one who don't take it, or perhaps who did not know that such a paper was being issued. Ask yourselves the question, where do you go, or what papers do you read when you want the real news about the doings of your race? Is it to the daily or the weekly papers edited by the white people? I dare say no. You go to your own papers, you well know that CANNOT BE IMPROVED it is in them you gnd accounts of all of your church, society, club, lodge, births, marriages, and business doings of the race. I care not how many papers you may read edited by the white people, you can get more real news concerning the race (of which you are a part) by reading one poor little Negro journal than you have been able to obtain from the great pile of those other papers you have been giving all of your time and money for. For the sake of yourself and your families, let me urge you to patronize your own editors, who are working so very hard to gather news and facts concerning the welfare of the race. I know of no other enterprise outside of the church itself which is more deserving of your co-operation than our colored editors are in their work. If it were not for the Tuskegee Student, an organ which is sent out weekly in the behalf of the school, much of good the yare doing would never become known to the public. What we need is to continue to send out those Negro journals, sparkling with gems of the doings of the race. Let me again admonish you to spend less for the things you do not need, and more for the things which are indispensible to your success. You say you are for your race; if you are, you can prove it by helping those poor editors to bear your burden, by adding your name to their subscription list. Second, you should encourage all members of your race everywhere who are in business of any kind, especially when they are found to be meritorious and deserving. E. G. HENDERSON. Mr. Thomas A Stewart, a Negro, has been appointed chief messenger in the United States patent office, a $1000 job, succeeding a white man, who had held the position for fifteen years. Mr. Stewart was considered the best equipped man for the work, having been a messenger in the Patent Office for twenty-five years and is said to be the first colored man appointed chief messenger in the Patent Office. BAKERSFIELD, CAL BAKERSEIELD. BY MRS. PEARL LOWERY WINTERS Last Sunday morning Rev. Price preached a stirring sermon; evening also. Sunday School Sunday morning was well attended with thirty-nine pupils. We are glad to say our Sunday School is growing by leaps and bounds. The young women and young men and middle aged are laying aside the silly expression we hear too often expressed by our young that the Sunday School is only for children. Sunday School is an education to us all. Let every young man and woman make new steps and go to some Sunday School Sunday morning. If not Cain's A. M. Church, the White Temple. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F.

Miss Young was dreadfully missed by the A. M. E. Sunday school, where she has been organist. She filled her post of duty: Sunday morning and made all our hearts glad with her sweet music. The church and Sunday School sympathize with the family in their bereavement. Mrs. J. J. Pinkney was the guest of Mrs. Frank Washington Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Washington entertained with a luncheon Mrs. Pinkney and several friends. The afternoon was spent in music.

Pinkney entertained at his beautiful home, corner of O street, in tae afternoon, the Golden West Club with Mrs. Sadie Person, who has been president for six years. She has been a faithful member. They now own a beautiful corner lot; they are hoping to build soon. The club members presented the president with a beautiful gold pen, which was a great surprise. Mrs. Person made a beautiful speech. Let all boost this grand worker. Help to make the club what it should be. The Young Married Women's Thimble Club met at Mrs. Frank Washington, president, last Friday afternoon. After a happy meeting and sewing Mrs. Washington served lovely lunch.

Many thanks to Dr. John Willis Baer, the president of Occidental College and a resident of Pasadena, for having brought him to the coast. Dr. Washington delivered three speeches in Pasadena.

Society of Pasadena will be held in this city on Tuesday, April 28th. AT SCOTT CHAPEL M. E. Dr. F. D. Mather, the district superintendent, held his second quarterly conference Sunday evening and preached, taking as his text Daniel 6:5. "Then said these men, we shall not find any occasion against this Daniel except we find it against him concerning the law of his God." It was a great sermon. He compared Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Gladstone as being faithful like Daniel. All church record was broken during the year. The church has doubled its membership this year, and he said they had one of the best choirs in the district and too much praise can not be given Mrs. Ernestine Monroe Beavers, the director of the choir. Also Miss Gladys Harris, the organist, is one of the best in the city; She is a graduate of the high school and will enter the U. S. C. next term. Mrs. Beavers is formerly from Cincinnati. Miss Harris is a native daughter. OUR PRESS GANG I rejoice to find myself once more at liberty to write all of the news all of the time for all of the people, and I do not want anyone to know what church or society I am a member of by reading what I write, so please let me know about the happenings, as I can only write what I hear. One of the greatest mistakes of some newspapers is they only write about their friends and sometimes interview themselves for publication. Now we are going to have one page of this paper for Pasadena. Help me make out city not only crown in name, but in deed also. Yours for race uplife, S. B. C. MUTILATED PAGE San Diego is one of the most enterprising and broad gauged cities of the Pacific Coast and is made up of a citizenship that stands for progress. We are proud to state that in every movement for its continued progress the colored citizens are found on the right side supporting these movements; and in compiling this work showing their status in this community the following firms generously contributed to make the same possible, for which we are very thankful.

The furthermost point in Southern California is the beautiful city of San Diego. In our research of statistics in line with our efforts to exploit the status and accomplishments of the race on the Pacific Coast, we have to chronicle here a citizenship that bids fair to make in the not far distant future a highly commendable showing along all of the various lines which has attracted the attention of the civilized world to the progress of a possibly less favored race. In their efforts to rise in this particular community, as in many others, they have the support of the best class of the opposite race, who at all times are ready to aid and assist them in any worthy undertaking. We met here the people of both races in al lof the various walks of life and find an optimistic feeling by all for a grater and better San Diego. With a negro population of more than 1000 as artisans, skilled and unskilled labor, and a sprinkling following business pursuits, we can truly say that they are making an effort to be counted as a part and parcel of this fifty years of progress which has challenged the admiration of the civilized world. The following facts in figures will speak louder than words as to what people have and are accomplishing along these lines: value of church property owned by them, $65,000; approximate value of property owned by them, $400,000; population, 1350; voters, 650; working at the trades, 83; chauffeurs, 17; jewelers, 2; chiropodist, 1; contractors, 8; garbage contractor for city, 1; employed by City Street Department, 15; employed by county, 2; restaurants, 4; livery business, 1; mail carriers, 2; laundries, 2; rooming houses, 3; barber shops, 2; churches, 3; lodges, 4; pharmacist, 1; grocery store, 1; social club, 1; civic organization, 1.

Railroad Safety Exhibit Attracts Much Attention There are many visitors to the free exhibit by photo and chart of the various safety devices employed by the Southern Pacific in the operation of its trains now on display on the second floor of the Ferry building. It includes a model in miniature of a section of track, with cars in motion, graphically showing the workings of the automatic electric block signal system installed on Southern Pacific lines. The Southern Pacific holds the gold medal awarded by the American Museum of Safety for the best record in accident prevention in the year 1913, in competition with all steam railroads of the United States. During a period of five years not passenger's life was lost through collision or derailment of trains on Southern Pacific lines, this remarkable record involving the movement of 200,000,000 passengers.—Advt.

ADVERTISING RATES, 50c PER INCH Some say that the Democratic administration is wholly blameless for the present condition of affairs but ever since we have known anything about the government from actual experience, we have noticed that Democracy and hard times seem to go hand in hand and all of it arrives on the same train and take their departure likewise. of power and actually elects the various officers in their counties. This year we find a desire to organize and get together along this line and all along they have asked us for advice along such lines, so we are arranging an itinerary for the month of May up the Coast Line to San Francisco, to Redding back down through the San Joaquin Valley at which we shall discuss the political issues of the day and organize to the end that our people shall present a solid front for such measures and men that they may desire to support. OUR TRIP POLITICALLY OUR TRIP POLITICALLY Although early we found in many counties that the fight was on for political preferment, but in no case have we noted wherein that the colored voter has any great encouragement insofar as local politics are concerned for the colored brother to worry, for in all of the counties save and except Kern county not a colored man receives any tangible recognition, not a janitorship or white-wing job. But in this non-partisan time it is to be hoped that our people in the various communities will so organize as to secure some recognition as in many of the counties the vote is so close that OVER THE STATE We have just returned from a trip over the state. We always try to keep our ears to the grass roots as to what the next best move for the great common everyday people of our race. The only way we can do that is to go out among them, talk to them and listen to them. For the past week we have had a strenuous campaign along these lines, addressing large crowds almost nightly and on Sundays speaking several times a day. We are trying to preach the same doctrine that we write and from the encouragement and requests that we receive to appear in their midst again we believe our work is appreciated and we have just begun to exploit the accomplishments of the race, to the end that we may create a greater incentive along the lines of race progress. FOURTEEN HOURS IN ALLENSWORTH COLONY The editor of the Eagle spent a busy fourteen hours in the Allensworth Colony looking up our correspondent agents and seeing the citizens in general. We were met at the depot by our friend, Prof. W. E. Payne, who has charge of the public schools at that place. After putting up at the hotel conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Mor- ris, we visited the store of our friend, W. J. Singleton, who is postmaster at the colony. We then visited the drug store conducted by Mrs. Mary Gross, formerly of our home state of Kansas, after which we met with the Horse Breeders' Association at the Hotel Morris. During the evening we met many of the citizens and on arising next morning we procured from the Carter Livery Co. a splendid rig and drove throughout the colony, accompanied by Mrs. Gross. We visited the acreage held by Prof. Payne and then to our old-time friend and former townsmen, Oscar Over, who lives about two miles from the colony proper. Oscar and his estimable wife are comfortably situated and are making good; their home and farm has all of the modern and uptodate equipments of the successful farmer, and the test was soon presented. We had driven out unannounced and it was out of the question to not take breakfast—and such a breakfast we have not had since we left the farm down home. Fresh milk, hot biscuits, 'ood old country ham, butter made while you wait—how we did enjoy that meal! After driving over the irrigate sites, well, etc., we, after conferences with Messrs. Hindsman, Carter, and others, made for the station to catch a train homeward bound, but before we left we made arrangements to address a meeting for a nearby date on the issues of the day along lines of racial progress. The California Eagle has arranged with Mrs. Mary Gross who conducts our local drug store for an agency for the Eagle. This paper can be procured from her either in single copies or by subscription. Mrs. Henry came up from Exeter for an indefinite visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Archer. J. W. Singleton has also made improvements at his place of business. Mrs. Mary Gross has also greatly improved her place of business and carries a full line of notions and standard drugs. The Co-operative Store is greatly improved and doing a nice business. The Colony will soon be favored with another visit by the editor of the Eagle, who will discuss the issues of the day along the lines of race progress. The fight on one of the county candidates has been held in abeyance until the promised investigation of the Eagle. HER TEARS The Second Baptist church on Maple avenue, was the center of attraction last Monday evening, March 30th, at which time and place the house was crowded with representative citizens, old, and young, to hear the discussion, which proved to have been quite practical and timely. The subject was, "Resolved, That a Woman's Smiles are More Effective Than Her Tears." The affirmative side was presented and defended by Col. Allen Allensworth and Rev. J. J. Byas. The negative side was represented by Revs. E. W. Kinchem and S. L. Harris. The judges were Rev. J. D. Gordon, R. W. Lamborth, Rev. Evans, Mrs. Printice and Mrs. Stewart. These jurors were given a conspicuous place upon the rostrum beside the speakers, where they each sat with pencil and notebook in hand from which point they seemed to note with more than ordinary care the every word, as well as the movements of the speakers. Rev. Mr. Gregg acted as master of ceremonies. The opening prayer was offered by the writer. Each speaker was given 20 minutes in which to present his argu- ment. The subject was discussed upon its merits. The affirmative labored hard to show the great and paramount value of woman's smiles, and how she is using them as great levers to help elevate herself and her sex from her state of obscurity and domestic slavery, where their faces had been kept veiled for centuries and centuries in which condition, if she had smiled, it scould not have been known to the world. And in proportion as her face has been uncovered her smiles have been beheld by man. She has not only made her own burdens lighter but she has gone on and she is going on with her sweet and charming smiles helping to free the world. It was said by one of the speakers that her grat work in saloons, hospitals, penitentiaries and even in our legislative halls, where she has gone with her plea for the freedom and the uplift of humanity; which is resulting in such great good to mankind, it is her smiles in those dark places which are her greatest asset and auxiliary which are excelled only by her sweet womanhood itself. The case of Queen Esther before the king with her plea for the liberty of her people was cited by the affirmative as having been accompanied with smiles; but the negative set up a strong rebuttal, claiming that the queen made her plea before the king in briny tears and that it was through and by her tears that she melted the stony heart of the king. She became victor in the behalf of her people and the hanging of Hayman upon his own gallows. The negative attempted to show to the judges that woman had been, and that she is now being more effective in her plea for mercy with her tears than she could be with her smiles. The case of Mary Magdalene washing the feet of the Christ with her tears and how through them she moved the hard hearted Jews, who had withstood even miracles of Christ; but softened by the woman's tears. The arguments on both sides of the subject were strong, entertaining and instructive, from start to finish. The audience was indeed an ideal assembly, and upon the whole the occasion was one of which every one was proud. The decision was rendered in favor of the affirmative and hence the smiling woman was advised to "just keep smiling, smiling, all the time." While the judges were in the basement preparing the verdict the audience was favored by two most excellent numbers, one a dramatic reading by Mr. Lewis and the other an instrumental solo by Miss Young. Rev. J. L. McCoy made some explanations respecting old folks home, which were quite timely and well received by all. He said among other things that hame was technically speaking a Baptist institution, and while it was being controlled by that denomination, that their object would be to care for the aged and the infirm of the race regardless as to what might have been their denomination. They have purchased 30 acres of land near the town of Watts upon which they have an old building which will serve as a splendid We are Selling Everything Below Cost Beautiful Silk and Madras Ladies' Shirt Waists, extra value, from 50 cents up.

We gleaned from his statements that the property cost approximately $5,000, of which amount they have paid all but about $1500. Their plans are to pay off this balance as soon as possible and proceed to build small bungalows or cottages, and to otherwise improve the property so that it might soon become an ideal home for our aged poor. Mrs. McCoy was very much in evidence in the early part of the evening at the door, where she greeted each comer there to with such splendid smiles that quite a handsome silver offering was made to her and her assistants. We did not learn how much the offering amounted to but it was large. The second Baptist church is one of the pioneer colored churches in the state, and it has done a splendid work for the race. It has only had two preachers in thirty years, and that speaks well for the preachers and the church as well. Their church property on Maple avenue is quite valuable, which the trustees hope to sell soon so that they may erect a modern edifice on their splendid of 14th and Paloma streets. This site which they own on the corner Maple avenue property should by no means pass from the ownership of the race. It is close in and we should by all means organize a company and buy it ourselves. It would indeed be an ideal site for an office building for the race where we could find shelter for our professional men who are being kicked and shoved around from pillar to post by the other people. We have plenty of men and women who would take stock in an enterprise of this kind if it was only presented to them in proper form. Why do not some of our young race men take up this work and push it forward? If it is not done and that very soon the property will pass into the hands of other people and this opportunity will have forever vanished. And, dear reader, can you think of another place owned by the race which is half so good as this? The locality is all that one could wish. And if a syndicate was formed and the stock placed on the market by the right people it would go like hot cakes at a camp meeting. If some one will take this matter up at once and put forth the right kind of efforts, his work will be crowned with large success. The time is fully ripe for just such a move as this. We have thought out some plans which we will gladly give to the right person. THE GOLDEN WEST.

From Representative Towner's report on the bill providing for a Federal inquiry into the causes of illiteracy, in which is included the declaration that there are “2,- 273,603 illiterate males of 21 years and over in the United States, enough to determine any national election’ at any period in our his- tory,” the conclusion would natu- rally be drawn that a new and highly disquieting condition had arisen in the nation. Such is not the case. The census figures show that the number of white and black illiterates in the Unit- ed States had decreased substan- tially between 1900 and 1910, a decrease that is expected to con- tinue during the present decade The figures showing the total number of illiterates and theit percentage of the whole popula tion are: Illiterates over 10 year: cf age in 1900, whites 3,200,746 6.2 per cent; in 1910, 3,184,954 5 per cent; colored, in 1900, 2, | $53,194, 44.5 per cent; in 1910, 2, -|228,087, 30.4 per cent. ‘Moreover, how many of Mr |Towner's 2,273,603 male illiter Jates of voting age have the bal |lot?

Anderson, D.D., Pastor In spite of the inclement weather last Sunday New Hope was well attended and Dr. Anderson preached a strong sermon. Subject. "Corneligs Sendeth for Peter." Text. "And the spirit bade me go." Acts 11-12. God was among his children and his power was in our midst. Sunday was a home rally day. We were blessed both spiritually and financially. Next Sunday, April 5th, in the morning will be "Covenant" meeting; at the evening service. Dr. Anderson will preach and the Lord's Supper will be celebrated. B F. ANDERSON. Our next and last visit was at the Allensworth Colony. See write-up under heading of Allensworth items on another page of this paper. To my friends that want to register, telephone Main 7793 up to 2 p. m. Saturday. I will send a registrar to your home or place of business. T. A. COLE. 814 Central Ave. Among our new subscribers of this week were Mr. Shackelford, the furniture dealer of Central avenue, who encouraged us to go forward in our effort to make a newspaper for the people and by the people. For the past three weeks we have been publishing articles from the pen of our esteemed friend, Mr. E. F. Henderson, which we feel sure have been highly appreciated by our readers. All members of the Kansas and Missouri Club are requested to meet Tuesday evening at 920 E. 31st street, residence of Mrs. Dora Gamble. F. N. Alexander was in off of his run from Chicago Wednesday. We truly hope that our women will get in line and register in order that they may be prepared to vote intelligently in the coming election. It is our aim to persent such persons for offices of honor and trust whose careers stand out as men and women of clean characters, and reputations that will stand the political test. A few weeks ago it was our privilege to interview the Hon. Samuel M. Shortridge of San Francisco, and we were impressed with him as being one of the biggest, broadest men in the political arena today and we hope that as we present the doing of Mr. Shortridge, as a lawyer, in this state, and his attitude towards our people, as we shall in later issues, that they will unflinchingly pledge him their support. To Victory. STRAIGHT RUN ON GOOD ROADS. Write Boothe, Booster, for Norton, Obstructionist. Auto Demand for Snpervisor. The Popular Demand. His District Sick of Earl; Strong for Earle. Earle Y. Boothe, a leading automobile dealer, and one of the most capable and popular young business men of Los Angeles, has entered the recall election contest in the Second Supervisorial District against Supervisor R. H. Norton, Earlite obstructionist. Boothe has the enthusiastic sup- 1920 Candidate for Supervisor to succeed R. H. Norton, against whom recall petitions have been launched port of many influential business and professional men, as well as hundreds of working people, who admire his integrity and special fitness for the place. He is running on a platform that strikes a popular note—that of good roads, good county government and making good. He has resided in the Second District ever since his arrival in this city, twenty-two years ago Since he entered the business field ten years ago he has been active in the business, progressive and civic life of the community. He has worked his way to his present position by clean, hard work of brain and hand. Because of his interest in good roads and public improvements in his district, over 200 citizens of his district signed a letter requesting him to make the fight against Norton, who has done all in his official power to block the building of good roads in Los Angeles county. The fact that Norton is Rebear Earl's personally conducted tool on the Board of Supervisors is another good reason why Boothe was selected. IMPROV Episodes The Alabamians permanently organized last Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. Albritton, into an excellent society. The officers were elected as follows: President, Rev. S. E. Edwards; secretary, Miss Minnie Albritton; treasurer, Mr. Banks. After a splendid meeting refreshments were served. The mock congress of the Wesley Chapel Literary Society convened last Tuesday evening and after a heated session killed the bill for the "Abolishment of Capital Punishment." The grandest outing of the year will be held at Seal Gardens Easter Sunday, April 12, 1914. All kinds of attractions will be staged for those desiring a splendid outing as the guests of Truck Drivers. Tennis, ball games and races will be among the attractions. Music by the Creole Orchestra. Take Watts car to gate and see Mr. C. A. Slaughter, 244 E. Second street for concessions. A DRAMATIC TREAT The Southern California Theatrical Troupe will make their initial appearance Wednesday evening, April 15, at T. M. A. Hall 2311/2 S. Spring street, before the public, in a military play entitled "On the Little Big Horn." From all indications the public will miss an exceptional and rare treat if they do not witness this excellent play, whose cast has been selected from various parts of th ecountry. This play is being given for the benefit of the Colored Boy Scouts, Dr. L. Mitchell Smith, founder. The great battle of General Custer will be dramatized, the military tactics being under the supervision of Messrs. Walter B. Mosely and Clarence Wilson, former soldiers in the United States Cavarly. Messrs. Jesse Irwin and Wm. F. Payne have the management of the company and will, with the necessary assistance, place an excellent play before the public. Our press gang has roses sometimes in their path, but always have thorns. On the evening of Friday, Feb. 20th, an article appeared in the Los Angeles Evening Record with Mr. Shores' cut, under this head. NEGRO MESSENGER Guard of Millions One of the best figures in the banks of Los Angeles, one who has handled millions of dollars and who has seen Los Angeles grow from a village to a big city, is William Shores, who has served more than twenty-five years of active service as head porter for the Security Trust and Savings Bank. Born in slavery in 1854, at the Nelson Mission at Yorktown, Va., he remained with that family until 1876. He came to Los An- cles in 1887. When the Security bank opened in 1899 he was engaged and has been with the institution ever since. Officers of the bank have great faith in him. He is trusted with thousands of dollars each day and the most confidential messages, and his picture adorns the wall of the private office of President Sartori. The above is the way it appeared in the Evening Record on Friday, Feb. 20th, and the following is what I said. Get a copy of the issue of the California Eagle, Feb. 28. Read on fifth page, first column: I believe when any one who has worked as honorable as Mr. Shores has for that bank for a quarter of a century should be retired on pension. See what the First National of Pasadena did for its head porter, Mr. Samuel Prince. He saw Pasadena grow MUTILATED PAGE from a sheep rancho to a beautiful city and was with that bank for 20 years and then the directors met and retired him on half pay for life, and the only thing they required of him was that he not work for any one. So he received his check each month after he was retired until death called him, and when he died his remains were brought to Pasadena and on the day of the funeral the flag on the bank was at half mast and the president, E. H. May, and many other bank officials, attended the funeral. As he only worked 20 years and Mr. Shores has worked 25 years, I think that institution should do as much for him as the Pasadena bank did for its head porter. What do you think about it? The truth of the whole thing is that Mr. Shores is a strong supporter, friend and subscriber to the California Eagle, and he will continue to be until a better paper in published. We can say this under the new management of Miss C. A. Spear the Eagle has not failed to come out in two years. That alone is something for this bird; it only has part of the old name, but it has a new home, new type and a new head, so if you want to be sure you get a paper get the California Eagle. I will say this, Mr. Shores is one of my strongest friends for he has employed two of my boys at the bank for a long time and for many years a member of the church together until I removed my membership to Pasadena. Instead of trying to condemn, let me recommend that we have more men like Mr. Shores in Los Angeles. If comment was always published as written and understood as read there would not be so many thorns in our pathway. Mr. Shores, like Booker T. Washington, was born in Virginia, and learned to do his work well. First A. M. E. Church fair will open May 11th, 1914, the second Monday evening, and will continue for five evenings. It promises to be among the best, if not the very best, church fair ever given in this city. It is hoped that there will not be anything to conflict with the fair. Each evening there will be a program rendered. Watch the columns of this paper for further particulars and program in detail. The proceeds are to be applied on the debt of the church which we hope to reduce considerably this conference year. GEORGIA STATE SOCIETY ENTERTAINED Friday evening, March 27, Mrs. Willie Williams and Mrs. N. E. Hall, of 1240 Long Beach avenue, entertained at the cozy home of Mrs. Hall, the George State Society. The home was tastefully decorated with the state colors, white and green entwined with white carnation sand ferns. The lavishly laden dining table was further beautified in the center with a hand painted vase containing ferns and Easter lillies in which the rooms were also decorated. Each guest was presented with a carnation and piece of fern. A high class literary program was rendered which was begun with prayer by Rev. Lambert, a solo, Miss Cornelia Leggett; reading, Mrs. E. Childress; vocal solo, Miss Rosemond; remarks, Dr. L. Storall; reading, Mrs. Dr. Leggett; vocal solo, Miss Nelson; remarks, Mr. Eugene Walker. After the rendition of the program the guests then assembled in the dining room and were served with a three course dinner. The color scheme was carried out in the refreshments. The cream was served in white bricks, each of which bore a "G" of mint in the center. It's a good thing for Bruce that he died long ago. For his statecraft now wouldn't have any show. It is true, lots of coin by freedmen has been spent But the wiser ones got it and spent every cent. C. H. J. Taylor, too, would starve if he came back to earth For the present powers shy at real worth. They were lucky 'old timers,' who were here and made good, And I don't think they'd want to come back if they could. Despite the inclemency of the day evening of each month at weather sixty Georgians were Wesley chapel, corner Eighth and present, to help make merry on San Julian streets and would like this occasion. to have all Georgians meet with The Georgia State Society them.

Things were so different in years long ago! They used to appreciate manhood; but now—the closed door! He'd find but few of those that he had led. So I guess that our Douglass had better stay dead.

U. to Meet March 28th McKINLEY PARK CHAUTAUQUA AT SACRA- The McKinley Park Chautauqua at Sacramento under the auspices of the Sacramento Valley Baptist Young People is an assured fact. The grounds have been secured and the city park commissioners are leaving no stone unturned to get the grounds in shape and to make the park as attractive as possible. Have you ever visited McKinley Park? It is one of the most beautiful places in all California. It lays just south of Sacramento and contains about forty or fifty acres. The large oak trees have made almost a continuous canopy overhead, thereby shutting out the sun at all hours of the day. Its pleasure features are almost unexcelled. There are great spaces for baseball, lawn tennis, croquet and a swimming pool, also a small zoo. The park affords all the sport and pleasure that one might look for. Main Features of the Chautauqua. The main features of the Chautauqua will be a great gathering of prominent orators, the learned men of both races. For when we tell you that the coming of ex-Attorney-General W. H. Lewis of Boston and Miss N. H. Burroughs is assured, together with the probable appearance of Bishop Parks of the A. M. E. Church; W. T. Vernon, ex-registrar of the treasury; Drs. McCoy and Gordon of Los Angeles, and other prominent men of the South, you will agree with me that there will be a great concourse of racial intellect that this race can be proud of, men able from every standpoint, orators of no mean ability, the most of them having national reputation. Together with the best who are members of our race there will also be present the governor of the state, the attorney-general of the state, the United States senator from our state and congressmen from our state, together with such men of our general association as Drs. J. M. Rid- MUTILATED PAGE MENTO. dle, G. C. Coleman and J. T. Jones, Professor L. J. Williams and others of our local district of the Young People's Union and Sunday School. Now when I say that McKinley Park during the 23d of June and the 1st of July will be the Mecca for intelligence I feel assured that you, after reading the above names of the persons spoken, of and being acquainted with them from a religious and political standpoint, you will say with me that it is well worth paying a visit to the Chautauqua. The Purpose of the Chautauqua. The purpose of the Young People's Chautauqua is to bring about a large united social gathering of our young people. Each summer we find that the Sunday schools and young people's societies give picnics where one or two of the local Sunday schools and young people's societies gather together for their social pleasure. The pleasure resorted to is not always of the most desirable kind, therefore the president of our Sacramento Valley B. Y. P. U. Convention conceived the idea of holding a general outing for the young people of Sacramento Valley. To carry out the idea a committee was appointed composed of the following: Rev. G. W. Reed of Stockton, chairman; Mrs. M. F. Gaither of Woodland, Rev. W. M. Dix on Sacramento, Rev. J. L. Allen of Marysville, Mrs. L. S. Diggs of Woodland, Mr. L. Williams of Marysville and Prof. C. H. Toney of Vallejo, he being one of the pastors of the Sacramento Valley district. The committee, after getting together, decided that it would be a good thing to make the outing a general one, not simply to confine its pleasures to the young people of the Sacramento valley district, but to invite all the young people as well as the older people of Northern California to participate at this great social meeting.

ODING & THOMPSON San Fernando Bldg., Los Angeles. might be the result of this great meeting the committee outlined the following as the plans for the Chautauqua for the social, industrial and religious benefit of the young people of our community and the outlying districts. To carry out this plan is the reason why we have gone to the expense and have invited the persons cited above. The several district conventions which compose the General Baptist Association have been invited to hold their respective conventions at McKinley Park during the Chautauqua, and there will be a day or days given to each of the district conventions for the purpose of holding their convention. Another great feature of the Chautauqua will be a mammoth choir consisting of 150 voices, under the directorship of several of the best singers obtainable in Northern California. Time, Place and Rates. The time of the beginning of the Chautauqua will be the 23d of June, and will hold eight days, closing on the first day of July. The place will be McKinley Park, southern section of Sacramento, the same being reached by two car lines running at intervals of five minutes from the uptown section of the city. Rates have been secured from all roads entering into Sacramento of one and one-third fare for the round trip. Accommodations. Sleeping accommodations will be right on the grounds. There will be tents provided with two cots. The prices for lodging will not be over 25 cents, and probably less, especially for parties who desire to stay longer than one night.

This platform is surrounded by beautiful trees, completely covering the platform, thereby shutting out the sun, causing the place to be cool throughout the day. Motion pictures by our Bro. Rev.

It is to be given by the Faben Phi Fraternity on Easter Monday (April 13th) at Blanchard Hall, and it promises to be very interesting and a rare treat. These young men, whose entertainment shave refreshing variety and striking originality, are now affording their numerous and appreciative patrons an opportunity to display their own taste and skill in the portrayal of some well known character. In this medley of costumes you will likely see Pocahontas, Indian heroine, linkarmed with Garibaldi, Italian patriot, while dancing the hesitation will be found Juno, the Greek goddess, in the respectful embrace of Old Uncle Tom.

Perhaps to greater evidence has ever been manifested in and through any human leader of any race or of any people that he had stamped upon him the divine approval of the great hand of the Deity, in modern times, than that which is being demonstrated through the works of Dr. Booker T. Washington in the United States and the world. In all ages of "the world's history of God," when He has designed to work great changes in dispensations, in nations, in kingdoms, and empires he has always done so through some humble individual who was wholly without a reputation, and one who simply became mighty and great in the thing to be done. If we should take the time to search the pages of history from the earliest period down to the present time we would find that the world's greatest changes, discoveries, and inventions have, without a single exception, been brought about through the instrumentalities of men who were without a noted ancestry. And our own Booker T. Washington is no exception to his predecessors in this great historic category. Indeed, he was as poor and as insignificant as the lowest, and he has by his own efforts attained to heights (when all things have been considered) as lofty as the highest of them; and he has not yet completed his 40 year period of history in his career. Indeed we may say truthfully he is only in the infancy of his well chosen work. son's Law of Compensation has failed to be impressed with the compelling strength of its logic. The people of Los Angeles have recently had the privilege of hearing a distinguished representative of the Negro race discuss the status of the Negro and the condi- "Booker Washington's mission in life is to point out to members of his own race the principle underlying real success. He is doing it with a persistency, courage and intelligence that challenge admiration from every man or woman who has sense enough and heart enough to realize that the world has been applying false standards of manhood and womanhood. "The child of the black man is forced to face a heartless and cruel. Let us pause for a moment and ask ourselves the question: What is really and truly his mission and in what class does he belong? The world has had its great individual philosophers, educators, reformers, and its active operators who have distinguished themselves as having been truly great in many ways, and along many lines, of the great needs of human uplift and expansion. But when they have attempted to enlarge their fields of activity and to combine their talents to do greater work, they have made wretched failures. The writer is of the opinion that when Dr. Washington's mission and work shall have been fully understood and defined, that he will be placed where he rightly belongs, in a class to himself. In many respects he reminds us of the Christ of God. It is said of the Christ, "He was in the world and the world knew him not." Dr. Washington has been at his work for lo, these many years, but it is only in the last few years that he is becoming so well and favorably known to his brethren. "He came unto his own and they would not receive him." But it has been characteristic of him in all of his travails, just as has been in our city in his recent visit to us, he has been introduced by the white race and people. If we call him a diplomat, a race man, a statesman, an orator, and educator, etc., he is all of these and more. We reprint the following editorial which appeared in the daily Tribune of our city: "Leading a Race Out of Depression" "No one who has read Emerdistinction. There is no getting away from it except through the slow spiritual culture of both races that must finally destroy false values, break down prejudice and set up a justice that can stand the light of a God-crowned reason. "The colored boy or girl, often finds the conditions of success pitiless and cruel. Either he will give way to discouragement or he will begin and keep up to the end a heroic struggle of the kind that develops the very best sort of manhood and finally overcomes by dint of real worth. In doing that he is lifting up a race and leading it out of the bondage of limitation. "This process may be a long one, but the law of compensation is as certain as any law of mathematics. Measured as God measures men, it is, in the final analysis, with the race as with the individual. The energy exerted in overcoming a handicap develops the true mettle, hardens the fiber and becomes a permanent possession. It is only discouragement and surrender that can keep a man or a race down. A black skin may be the original cause of the discouragement, but it is not and can not be the true cause of failure under any true standard." The above is only one of many similar editorials which have appeared in our city papers edited by white editors during Dr. Washington's itineracy in Los Angeles and Southern California. And also we will invite you to think for a moment of the magnificent introductions he has received from school and college professors, in the presence of their students. The writer heard him introduced as a great leader of a great race. The mind and heart and the life of Dr. Washington has been so, very well prepared for his work that notwithstanding the fact his stay with us was protracted, his audiences became more and more enthusiastic at each gathering to the close of his itinerary in the community. It is to be hoped that during the itineracy of Dr. Washington in the Southland that all of the pessimists, doubters, and grumblers went out to char him. If they did, we well know many of them must have become converted to the fact that Dr. Washington is the man of the hour. Many of them have repeatedly said of him many careless things, and they have thrown many stumbling stones in his pathway. But if doubting Thomas himself had been here and heard him he would have cried out, "My Lord and My God." Let us take fresh courage, and renew our covenants with God, and with each other, and continue our journey with new vigor. E. P. HENDERSON. 1 HORSE RIDING A Copyright 1909 By H. C.

The old party has again rallied and is ready for business. Some of the oldest and strongest men of the party are coming to the front and playing leading roles in the coming election. We are now enjoying the fruits of a Democratic administration, and the Progressive Party early demonstrated what places they had for men of color. So we see that whatever we have received or ever hope to receive must come through the Republican Party. So let us rally to the front in this campaign, give our hearty support to such men as we shall keep before you as candidates from time to time. YOUNG RACEMAN GETS A SOUARE DEAL Endless credit belongs to the Los Angeles Examiner for the fair judgment exercised in the recent contest. Mr. Wesley Williams, a brilliant young man of our community entered the race after a few weeks' duration and won third place, receiving in return $100 for his services. Mr. Williams highly praises the Examiner and especially the Contest Editor for the fair deal and courtesy extended him. Mr. Williams has been secured as an assistant for the Eagle. He is contemplating entering school in the fall and with the local editor, Lewis Beeks will dive into the work with a vim in an effort to secure school means. Help the good work along by encouraging the fellows willing to make an effort. A few weeks ago our Pasadena correspondent, Mr. S. B. Carr, wrote a little article touching on the relation or position of our friend and subscriber, Mr. W. H. Shores, who has filled a position at the Security Bank in this city for more than twenty-five years dignifying his position and doing credit to his race. We are writing this explanation because we fear that the comment was not published just as Mr. Carr had intended that it should have been, and was misinterpreted by some. We want to say here, and now that we have no place in our columns to decry such men as Mr. Shores, for certainly if we did we should be the most ungrateful among the people. Mr. Shores and his splendid wife have been our sincere friends and staunch supporters since our very beginning as a newspaper editor in this city, because they believed that we had undertaken a task begun by a man, who even though he passed out before his work was scarcely begun, was loyal to his race. And since we are called upon to mention Mr. Shores at this time we wish to state that we believe him to be one of the most exemplary characters of his people in this city, not only has he made good with the bank where he has done well his part; for after all one position is equal to another if both have been dignified according to their station. As a citizen, as a churchman, and as a parent, Mr. Shores ranks uppermost in his community and city. Mt. Zion Baptist Church Takes a Stand for What She Believes Right. Last Monday evening the church met in business session over which Rev. R. H. Wade presided. Rev. A. C. Williams, acting pastor, who came to our city less than four months ago from Florida, where he has pastored three years, and where he began his pastoral efforts after graduating from the Atlanta Baptist College, Atlanta, Ga., with distinction and honor, w asreally the prime factor in the meeting; for since the very beginning of his pastorate with the Mt. Zion Church, to which he had been recommended by Rev. E. F. Fisher of Chicago, there had been a misunderstanding with regard to his relation to the church, due to the fact that Rev. Fisher had misled the Rev. Mr. Williams, perhaps with no intention to do so, as to his call to the church. We are neither expressing favoritism for Rev. Williams or for Rev. Fisher. But it seems that Rev. Williams gave up his charge in Florida with the understanding that he was to serve permanently as pastor of the Mt. Zion church while the church on the other hand had called Rev. Fisher to be its pastor, and he, Rev. Fisher had accepted the call with the understanding with the church, that he would place Rev. Williams here in his place until he could wind up his affairs at Chicago. After serving the church in a creditable manner for more than three months, Rev. Williams, being a young man just beginning his career as a clergyman, and full of ambition, began to pine under his (as he believed) deceptive relation to the church, and called the body together last Monday evening, and laid bare his future plans relating to the church, and Dr. Fisher. After listening to Rev. Williams' plea for justice, the church decided to consider the call of Dr. Fisher null and void and declared the church free to call a pastor. Rev. Williams consented to serve temporarily. While Rev. Fisher is an old war horse in the church, who has done much good for the development of the church and the growth of Christianity. Rev. Williams is one of the brainiest, cleanest, and best educated young men that we have in the ministry today. And since the future of the race depends upon our young men and women it behooves us to strengthen and support instead of crush such young men as Rev. A. C. Williams.

OPPOSITE BIRCH STREET CHOICE STAPLE GROCERIES CIGARS, TOBACCOS CANDIES, SOFT DRINKS the White House by a delegation of the National Independent Political League on November 6th last, was announced by the Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser as follows: "Boston Man Puts an End to Discrimination Against Negroes in Government Departments. Washington, Mar. 6.—Colored people report that the last of Negro Segregation in the departments of the government has come to an end in an order issued by Charles S. Hamlin of Boston, the Senior Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. The segregation has hovered longest in the bureau of engraving and printing of the treasury, where some 300 Negro girls were in the course of last summer ordered by Director Ralph to desist using the common dining room at the luncheon hour, but to use instead a small room containing the lavatories assigned to colored people. The crowding was terrible and there were other obvious objections. Ralph refused to make a change, however, and the former head of the fiscal division, Asst. Sec. J. S. Williams, a Virginian, did not make use of his authority, being in fact not a little responsible for the endorsement in the Treasury Department of Negro segregation. Mr. Hamlin has now succeeded Mr. Williams and he has eliminated the last of the segregation, as reported, by ordering, now that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is to occupy its new quarters, that all employees shall use the common dining room there provided. The colored people are very grateful to Mr. Hamlin. Today prominent Negroes appeared in protest to a committee in Congress giving hearings on a bill purposing a legal enforcement of Negro segregation in general in Washington."—Advertiser. When the delegation of the National Independent Political League made the argument against segregation, the president promised an investigation, which he made. Later on in the Auditor of the Postoffice Department a separate room for colored men was changed. When John Skelton Williams was made comptroller of the Treasury, the League's secretary, W. Monroe Trotter asked Rep Peters of Boston to use his influence for the appointment of Mr. Hamlin to first assistant treasurer, as the following letter to Mr. Trotter shows: Your wire is at hand. I wish to say that I am urging on Mr. Hamlin the appointment of some one (Signed) A. J. Peters." On February 19, Secretary Trotter telegraphed Rep. Peters to see Mr. Hamlin as to undoing segregation. In reply he wrote: "Have you any recent information which would show that the relief which was promised your committee is not being carried out in the department here?" In reply Secretary Trotter wrote on the 2nd inst., that the President's promise had not been carried out and urged action. Then came this reported blow to segregation by Assistant Secretary Hamlin on the 6th inst. When the League's delegation had its hearing being presented by Rep. Thacher of Massachusetts, the League did not cease its work. At Christmas it issued a second appeal to the President, which was presented to him in person by Rep. Peters, before the President went South. Again on January 23rd, the League had another protest on a clear case of railway postoffice segregation filed with the President by Rep. Thacher. The Massachusetts branch is now fighting a case of segregation in the Boston Navy Yard. A YOUNG LADY PRAISED To the Editor Colorado Statesman: Dear Sir: Born and raised among colored people, my grand-fathers both slaveholders, I conceived the idea that the colored people were an inferior race and had many traits that merited the treatment they received. As a child I could not see any reason why it was considered legal to make slaves out of these people, neither could I understand why they insisted as a retaliation in abusing the whites, and confess I would not have indorsed slavery had I been of age. During my growth from youth to manhood I have been compelled to change my opinion as again and again I have had proofs of genuine manly and womanly characteristic features of my colored brethren and am convinced that they are desirable citizens and most valuable assets to any community. In Denver we have an enterprising, intelligent, honest set of colored people as a whole, whose records are to a great extent better than the whites. Even if they were born in the South they are intelligent enough to know that there are very few people living today who opposed the action taken on their behalf during the Civil War. Many of them are property owners, and contribute in a large measure, considering their numbers, to the treasury of the city and state. They deserve positions of responsibility because they are trustworthy citizens. SUNSET Double Daily Service to New Orleans and Fast through Dixie Land EL PASSE "GOLDEN The train de class.

The name of this new fraternity is Kappa Alpha Nu and is a branch of the national organization of the same name and which was founded at the University of Indiana in the year 1910 and has for its purpose the creating of a social center for the negro men in attendance upon northern colleges and universities where the great majority of the students are of the Caucasian race. Prof. E. W. Diggs, superintendent of negro schools of Vineetnets, Indiana, founder and the present Grand Polemarch of the national grand chapter, assisted by Wm. J. Prince, formerly of Coin, Iowa, but at present a student in the University of Illinois, and Leutenant Grand Strategus of the national grand chapter, and Paul W. Kane, a student in the University of Indiana and a charter member of the national grand chapter, were present and inaugurated the new chapter, which is the fourth in existence, and is therefore named the Delta chapter, the other three bing Alpha chapter in the University of Indiana, at Bloomington; Beta chapter, in the University of Illinois, at Champaign, and Gamma chapter, composed of the negro college alumni of Indianapolis, Ind. MORE WHITES THAN BLACKS N. Y. Times Table Shows Larger Number of Unqualified Males Among the Caucasians. From Representative Towner's report on the bill providing for a Federal inquiry into the causes of illiteracy, in which is included the declaration that there are "2,273,603 illiterate males of 21 years and over in the United States enough to determine any national election at any period in our history," the conclusion would naturally be drawn that a new and highly disquieting condition had arisen in the nation. Such is not the case. The census figures show that the number of white and black illiterates in the United States had decreased substantially between 1900 and 1910, a decrease that is expected to continue during the present decade. The figures showing the total number of illiterates and their percentage of the whole population are: Illiterates over 10 years of age in 1900, whites 3,200,746 6.2 per cent; in 1910, 3,184,954 5 per cent; colored, in 1900, 2,853,194, 44.5 per cent; in 1910, 2,228,087, 30.4 per cent. Moreover, how many of Mr. Towner's 2,273,603 male illiterates of voting age have the ballot? A large proportion of them must be colored in the South, who are barred from the polls and hence cannot "determine any national election." Mr. S.

Tsuyuki, Proprietor FRANCISCO, CAL ressing, Dyeing factory VIS VE C SHOPPE DREIER & NEVIS LESTER MAPP PROPRIETOR OAKLAND'S EXCLUSIVE HARRIS AND FRANK Goods Called For and Delivered GIRL PAYS BIGGEST COME TAX Oklahoma City.—Sarah Rector, the 10-year-old negro girl in Eastern Oklahoma, will pay the largest federal income tax of any person in this state. A conservative estimate of Sarah's net income in excess of the $3,000 exemption is $100,000 nearly. The tax on the income of this size is 4 per cent, or a total of $4,000. The tax itself is so large that it would be subject to income tax were it an income. But there are further complications. Sarah has about $40,000 of the money loaned out at eight per cent interest. This means an annual income of $4,000. This is an income that is being earned by the original income from oil royalties, and a legal question has been raised whether or not this secondary income is subject to tax during the same year that the $100,000 is taxed. It is quite probable that Sarah's income will be much greater than $100,000 as big oil wells are being brought in on her farm every month. It is expected that by the end of the year her income will have reached $150,000, it which event her income tax would be $6,000 instead of $4,000. AFRICAN SHIP SAILS Curityba Chartered by Chief Sam Leaves for Portland En Route to the Gold Coast. After nearly a month's delay, "Chief Sam," the leader of a "Back-to-Africa" movement to start a colony on the Gold Coast, finally gave the order to get started late Friday afterhoon and the steamship Curityba cast off at Erie Basin, Brooklyn, for the long voyage. The Curityba will first put in at Portland, Me, to be overhauled, after which the sail across the ocean for the promised land will begin. All on board are colored except the captain, who is James Mackenzie, and the engineer, Ira Bentford. The colonists are all shareholders in "Chief Sam's" Akim Trading Company, which concern has sold them shares in parcels of land on the Gold Coast at $25 apiece. Here they expect to have an Elysium all their own. The passengers are all from Oklahoma and other Southwestern States. When the Curityba cast off a crowd of women were on the pier to bid the colonists farewell. The faith in "Sam" has been rudely shaken in some of his followers since the denial by British authorities in Africa that he was the holder of any land on the Gold Coast or that he was even a chieftain. San Joaquin County Officers Deal Justly with Colored Prisoner for Aggravated Crime. While in Stockton on business we chanced to be in the courthouse when the case of Andrew King was called in Judge Plummer's court. The case of King was an aggravated one where much violence to commit robbery from an aged woman was used. He brazenly pleaded guilty, admitted everything including the brutal manner in which the robbery was committed, the court plainly instructed him in his rights in the premises. He waived them all, after which the court sentenced him to 25 years in Folsom. Now we think that in this instance the prisoner was dealt with leniently, a big strapping healthy man who had served 9 years in the army who would stoop to such a dastardly crime 25 years was just. And we commend Judge Plummer for the same. The officers from the sheriff, W. H. Reichs up, are to be congratulated for the manner in which they meted out justice in this instance, which was quite in con- trast to the unregenerated sheet, the daily Record, which has sought to stir up race prejudice by its glaring headlines of a black negro brute. It was simply an aggravated crime in which justice was meter out in a fair and impartial manner. The negroes in all sections of the country are waiting breathlessly to see what will become of the reappointment of Judge Terrell. We are glad to note that the country is rid of Chief Sam, the supposed African chief who has been for a number of months roading through the States selling, we believe, imaginary shares in African lands to which he claims heritage. POLITICAL STRAWS OF SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY. B. C. Wallace will again seek re-election to the office of coroner and it seems that he will have no opposition. G. H. Black, the well-known deputy who has been in the sheriff's office for 23 years has resigned his position and will seek the nomination as head of that office. Mr. Black has made a good officer and no doubt if nominated and elected would make an ideal sheriff. He has many friends and is making a strenuous canvass. receive a hearty support for re-election from all classes. County Surveyor F. M. Quail has made an enviable record in this very important office and no doubt will receive a strong support for re-election. One of the finest gentlemen whom we have ever met is the genial and kind Cheriff W. H. Reichs of San Joaquin county. He has filled the office with great credit and as a result thereof will receive a strong support from all classes for a second term. We shall have something to say in relation to some of the candidates for the benefit of our Stockton readers as the campaign progresses. Mr. John D. Maxey, present recorder and auditor, will this year make the race for re-election to the office of auditor; he has made an excellent officer and will receive a strong support. Rev. G. W. Reed, who is the leading spirit in the greatest Chautauqua to be held at Sacramento in the near future is very busy exploiting the same, and he says it will be one of the greatest gatherings ever held in this vicinity. Quite a great deal of comment is heard unfavorable to District Attorney Foltz for the treatment he accorded one of the colored women witnesses in a recent trial, for without cause at his order she was put in jail. Rev. J. A. Duncan reports a great success for his quarterly conference that the record was broken for raising funds the last quarter. Editor J. B. Bass and Advertising Manager Shannon were visitors in our city this week in the interest of the Eagle. * * * Mayor Rubenstein is a broad-gauged official and caters to no class i nhits office, but is conducting the affairs of the city in a way that gives the greatest benefits to the greatest number of people. He is the hight man in the right place. Superior Judge Smith has creditably filled that position in this county and will go before the people again with a record which will no doubt mean his renomination and election. Now, don't stand apart and laugh jeeringly or criticise an effort that you yourself are not brave enough to make. If you can not give thousands, you can give the widow's mite and the least you pay on your subscription will be precious in the editor's sight. Episodes --- MUTILATED PAGE CARD OF THANKS.

This is the third bungalow erected in Venice to the credit of the Negro race within the last four weeks, and they are all in the heart of the residential section of the city. There are not many colored families in Venice, but by rough estimate it is safe to say that four fifths of them own their homes. ```markdown ``` Miss Mayme Carter entertained last Tuesday evening with a "box" party, there being seven young ladies present and an equal number of young men.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE Economic and Social Aspect of Educational Work In One Hundred and Thirty Counties In the Southern States Reviewed by State Supervisor Jackson Davis of Virginia. How industrial training, under a system of supervising industrial teachers has not only vitalized the rural schools among the colored people into which it has been introduced, but is also having farreaching economic and social effects on rural conditions generally, is described by Jackson Davis, state supervisor of elementary schools in Virginia, in the Southern Workman Mr. Davis says in part: "A few efforts had been made here and there throughout the south to the tip the work of the country school to the life of the home and the farm, but it was not until the establishment of the Jeanes fund for rural schools that a general effort was made in this direction. In Henrico county, Va., in the fall of 1908, following a conference of the school officials of the county with agents of the Jeanes fund, a supervising industrial teacher was employed and put to work in all of the colored schools of the county. "The pioneer work of Virginia Randolph in overcoming the indifference of her own people, organizing improvement leagues at each school, introducing simple forms of industrial work and in the enlistment of the active interest of the white people in these efforts for improvement in practical ways, met with such success that a new spirit was soon ablaze in each colored community, and the schools were transformed in appearance and in the general character of their work. "The general plan, so successful in its early demonstration, has continued to grow and meet with approval. It has developed initiative among the colored rural people, and it has tied their interests together in a school for a better neighborhood. The moral effect has been noticed by the white people around them and their support of this movement has been hearty. Supervising industrial teachers were employed in 130 counties in the southern states last session. "White Temple" Baptist Church is doing good work. Rev. J. G. McPherson, pastor.

THE MUSICAL THEATRE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK The Faben Phi Fraternity announces their next social event on Easter Monday, April 13, 1914, in Blanchard Hall. Invitations will follow this announcement. The affair will be a Character Ball and the young ladies and gentlemen are already choosing, planning and devising tasty characters from history, fiction, and mythology as their own. The colors of the Fraternity are purple and gold. A beautiful purple ribbon will be awarded the young lady presenting, the most artistic female character and a gold ribbon will be presented the gentlemen for the most artistic male character. This affair promises to eclipse all previous affairs given by this well-known fraternity. (Signed) E. H. Russell, Chairman Executive Com. Continued from page 1 I quote specially the case of Frances Tucker of 1861 Curtis street, who found a pocketbook containing a large sum of money in my telephone booth and promptly turned it over to my assistant manager without extracting one cent. You may say no one deserves credit for being honest, but I am sure the world would be revolutionized if the majority of people were like Frances. There are many people that need employes like Frances and you would be perfectly justified, Mr. Editor, in holding her up as a beautiful example of how honorable Denver colored people are. Hoping that you will continue the fight that you have been making against Race Prejudice, and while not a seeker after notoriety, I herein subscribe myself as being always a friend to-merit and honesty, and will do anything righteously in the cause of the colored people. Believe me. Very truly, FOOD IS HIGHER Democrats' Bluff About Reducing Cost of Living Shown Up by Bureau of Labor Statistics Washington, March 10.—Just about one year ago the Democratic party pledged its faith and its sacred honor that it would reduce the high cost of living, MUTILAT MUTILATED PAGE The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a monochrome photograph of a person in a historical or formal setting, possibly a costume or attire from a past era. The focus is on the person's upper body, with the face partially obscured. The background is indistinct, but it seems to be a dark, solid color. There are no visible markings, text, or other distinguishing features that can be read from this image. which it promised to cut down through its own legislation. Says the Bureau of Labor Statistics in a rejort just issued: "Comparing retail prices on December 15, 1913, with prices on the same date in 1912, twelve of the fifteen articles for which quotations are given were higher and three were lower." Thus potatoes, the poor man's food," had advanced 43.7 per cent; fresh eggs had gone up 21.9 per cent; pork, beef, fowls, milk and lard all had risen; and only sugar, butter and flour showed even slight declines. And as with foodstuffs, so with clothing—prices are rising, instead of falling. "Shoes," said the Democrats, "would be cheaper, yet now comes warning from the manufacturers that 'ten dollar shoes' may be expected in the near future, and those who can not afford them may go barefoot. Yet, despite the 'magnificent work' of the State Department, France, Germany and Russia imposed a duty of 40 to 60c a pair on American shoes, as against 20 to 25 cents on shoes imported by those countries from England." In these two citations alone, may be found sufficient reason for the Democrats to make President Wilson personally the main issue in the coming Congressional campaign. They cannot "point with pride" to a reduction in the cost of living. Such enthusiasm as dominated in the "Mock oCngress" at the Wesley Chapel Literary Society Tuesday evening has never been witnessed in the society before. Bills were presented and hotly discussed by the various congressmen, Congressmen Williamson and McDonald on the majority. Beeks and Steward on the minority. Speaker Lacey presided in excellent fashion. A bill produced at the close to be discussed at the next session, Tuesday, March 31.

IMPROVED Remarkable Reception To California Eagle All Over MUTILATED PAGE Volume 27 STATE Greeted Throughout San Joaquin Valley With Enthusiatsic Gatherings Gatherings The editor of the California Eagle returned last Sunday morning from an extended trip as far north as Richmond, Martinez, Sacramento and through the San Joaquin valley in the interest of this journal and with a message of hope to our people along the lines of racial progress and uplift. We were greeted everywhere with the greatest of enthusiasm and the colored people all vied with each other to make our stay in the various communities both profitable and inspiring. Our first stop was at Bakersfield where we have a large following. The families in that city where The Eagle is not a weekly visitor are scarce; and here reside a people that for thrift and enterprise take second place to no people on the entire Pacific Coast. We have often told in these columns of their progress and the enterprise among them and we never tire of exploiting the deeds of such citizenship as we have in Kern county. We were drafted here to assist in trying a cause in the great mock trial at Cairns Chapel. Rev. J. W. Price is doing a great work at the A. M. E. Church and will in the near future commence the erection of a new church edifice which will be a credit to any on the second to none. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson is holding forth at the White Temple and while his flock is scattered at present he is fighting with his back to the wall to hold his own and if he wins he will truly live up to the name of the fighting parson. A Baptist mission has been organized and is reported to have a strong following. Rev. C. A. Biggers is in charge. Both Odd Fellows and Masonic lodges are doing fine work and report a steady growth. Mr. H. S. Houston, one of the leading lights, is still maintaining one of the leading tonsorial parlors of the city. He is also deputy county clerk. The firm of Winters, Simpson & Bridges is one of the leading commercial concerns of the city and doing a nice business. The Western Grocery Company, with Miss Marie Simpson as manager, is doing a nice business and deserves great credit. Mr. John Pinkney is still one of the live ones of Bakersfield and is doing his part to help out all of the racial enterprises. Many others of the Eagle family are doing much to boost for the city and race. Mr. Chas. Ankrum, Walker, Mrs. Reese Person et al. are in line for race progress. At San Francisco We arrived at the northern metropolis on the 4th and find here a great sentiment for a real newspaper such as the California Eagle, procured many new subscribers and advised with our correspondents and had the opportunity of making sentiment for race journalism. Here we met the Hon. S. M. Shortbridge, leading candidate for United States Senator, and find him to be a man full of human sympathy, who without any reservation speaks right out his sentiments in regard to the injustice which has been heaped upon a struggling race and that if he is elected to the Senate we will always find him an advocate for justice to the race. This should be food for thought for our people as it has been a long time since we have had a man in that body who could speak up for a race which is deserving of more consideration than than he has received in that body for years. There are no Ingalls or Forakers or Logans in the Senate today. Shortbridge's expressed sentiments are akin to the acts of these great men who unflinchingly stood for human rights. While here we journeyed to Richmond, and our great fight against the efforts of union labor to recall Senator Owens is well known. It was a great victory for our people to assist in defeating the organization which had the full crew law enacted to put black men out of jobs to support their families. We visited Martinez, the county seat of Contra Costa county, J. E. Colton of the winery we found to be a broad-gauged man who became one of the Eagle readers. Also Mr. Geo. Meese, whi will soon be before the people for their suffrage, as also R. D. Lattimore, M. W. Hurley and the genial city attorney, R. F. Tormley, the Martinez hotel and others. At Stockton. At Stockton, where large numbers of our people live, we found them, while got up with some of the other sections in a business way, striving to do something, and no doubt under the leadership of the ministry and other forces will soon be in line to do their share along the lines of race progress. Rev. G. W. Reed is doing a great work and is busy at this time as the leading force for the great Chautauqua to be held at Sacramento in June. Rev. J. A. Duncan is doing a great work at the A. M. E. church and the people are enthused over his work. His church is prospering and he is the leading force in the movement to procure competent and reliable help in this community. We arranged while here to deliver our address at a future date and we are assured of a great gathering. Many new subscribers were added to our large Stockton list and met many of the city and county officials, among them F. M. Quail, the genial county surveyor, who is worthy of the support of our people; Judge Plummer and Smith J. H. W. Harding of the Southern Pacific car service; Sheriff W. H. Reichs, who is as fine as they make them, who will receive a strong support and of whom the Eagle will have much to save during the campaign. Sacramento We visited the capital city and on account of the unemployed being in their midst the city was very much agitated. But we added many new names to our list and arranged to speak at a future date. Returning to Stockton our next stop was at Modesto at which place we spoke to a large gathering. Enthusiasm ran high and at the unanimous request of the people assembled we agreed to a return date in the near future to speak to them again. Los Angeles, Cal., APRIL 5 1914 1913 Leading Reyublican Candidate For U. S. Senator wife did much to make our stay a pleasant one. Among others who are leading citizens are the two Knox families and Rev. Edwards. Ninety per cent of the colored families here own their own homes. We met here the Hon. T. F. Griffin, leading Democratic candidate for United States Senator. We found him a kind and affable gentleman who stands for human rights and a consistent friend to all the people. H. C. Reevy of the court house we found willing to give recognition to his colored constituents by patronizing their organ; also we found County Clerk Benson, who is the right man in the right place. Judge Fulker we found to be a man who has made good on the bench and gave us time from his arduous duties to present our cause, and presented with his compliments the Eagle to one of our citizens. Samuel M. Leading Reyublican Can Geo. T. Davis for Sheriff of Stanislaus County Of all the genial and accommodating men that it comes one's lot to meet, we cannot imagine of a fines or squarer man than Geo. T. Davis, the present constable of Modesto township, recognized by everyone as a prince of good fellows. He is having an easy race for the office of sheriff. At the coming primaries he is receiving a strong support from all classes. After sizing up the situation we cannot help commend his candidacy to the favorable consideration of our people that reside in this county. At Fresno We arirved in Fresno unannounced. We find here our people in large numbers and one lone colored woman is our representation in the business lines. She conducts an eating house. So the city which has a negro population of more than 600 will not at least of this year send a delegate to the National Negro Business League. PAGE worth while for racial uplift. And we believe they are equal to the occasion. We are under many obligations to these young men who showed us so many favors. Mr. Lewis is our correspondent here and he has quite a chance to create favorabel sentiment through these columns. Near this city in this county are two of the most prosperous colored settlements in the United States, Bowles and Fowler. Here reside prosperous negro farmers who have land as fertile as that along the valley of the Nile. Farms that produce from $250 to $300 per acre. We met one of the leading farmers from Bowles in the person of Mr. C. E. Orn and others from that section. They are members of the race who stand for progress. They complimented us on the improvement of the Eagle and extended an invitation for us to come to their town and visit their people and to deliver our message, which invitation we shall with pleasure accept. These gentlemen assured us that they welcome in their midst race men who are industrious and thrifty; that there are plenty of work and opportunity to buy land. At present they are compelled to hire Japanese labor because they can get no other. Here in F. others for c run at the p Now the ee the fate of dates, and b over this vow for, and it i see to it they no one but and will to to a faithfu Among th rated are J who has so position. H friends tha Fresno have them will b have much candidacy a ceeds. Constable tice Smith'sough gentle we are glac for without willing to L Shortridge Candidate For U. S. Senator Here in Fresno county, as in all others for county offices, they all run at the primaries non-partisan. Now the colored vote will decide the fate of many of these candidates, and before the campaign is over this vote will be much sought for, and it is up to our people to see to it they give their support to no one but those who are friendly and will to give due recognition to a faithful constituency. Among those who can thus be rated are Justice G. W. Smith, who has so faithfully filled that position. He is one of the best friends that the colored folk of Fresno have and his support from them will be unanimous. We will have much to say of Judge Smith's candidacy as the campaign proceeds. Constable G. E. Matched of Justice Smith's court is also a thorough gentleman and one of whom we are glad to say a good word, for without any ostentation he is willing to patronize enterprises conducted by our people. For Tax Collector Mr. Geo. M. Boles, well known real estate man and city trustee, is an aspirant for that position, who unhesitatingly and ungrudgingly gives to our people recognition by the way of their official organ. And we say right now in this coming contest they cannot give thei rstrength to a better man. We shall from time to time comment on our friends, and the people knowing that we are always on the alert for friends or foes, can govern themselves accordingly. We say that Mr. Boles is all right and deserves a hearty support from all classes. For State Treasurer Fresno 2boasts of the leading candidate for state treasurer in the person of the Hon. W. W. Phillips, who is not only one of the most prominent citizens of his home city but of the state. In times past his counsel in the success of the Republican party has been invaluable, and this has been CANNOT However, the three churches are moving along very well. Rev. J. H. C. Redd, ably assisted by his wife, are doing good work at the Benel A. M. E. church. Rev. Redd tendered us all the courtesies due the negro press and was painstaking in making our stay a pleasant one. He is a broad-gauged minister of the gospel. Rev. Simpson, who is the pastor in charge of the A. M. E. Zion church, used us in a way which we highly appreciated, and invited us to speak at his church at any time we can so arrange it. Rev. Simpson is the right man in the right place and is doing a great work. Rev. R. D. Arline has charge of the Baptist church and seems to have a splendid opportunity. We spoke here under the auspices of the Missionary Society, of which Mrs. Mills is the president. Mrs. Mills is a great Christian worker and is broad-gauged. The Eagle is under many obliga- tions to her for her encouraging remarks and for the opportunity of presenting our cause. We organized while here a Lincoln Club which will be very active in the pending campaign with an organized effort of the colored vote in Fresno county. They can at least help their friends and in some way secure some recognition in the county, with a deciding vote as to the fate of many of the offices. They should organize for the intelligent and organized support of the various candidates. This organization will also select candidates on the state ticket. We put the work of organization to the young men of Fresno and on our return will hold a great mass meeting, at which we hope to meet all the citizens of Fresno and a heart-to-heart talk along political and other lines for the continued progress of the race. So Messrs. Willie Lewis, Bigbee, Louis James and others have a great opportunity before them to accomplish something really Politically For Tax Collector For State Treasurer ILLEGIBLE ORIGINAL his first time to ask for tion of any kind whatsoe all sources he is receivin support.

At Hanford The city of Hanford, county seat of Kings county, contains to the square inch a strong and industrious colored citizenship. We are not a stranger to this people as we have met them and addressed their meetings on former occasions. Hence we were glad to meet them again and to meet such an enthusiastic audience. At the conclusion it was the unanimous desire of all that we should repeat our address at an early date, to which request we gladly acquiesced. At Visalia Here we met M. T. Love, who has resided in the county seat of Tulare county since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Mr. Love stands well in his home city and is one of our leading citizens, being prominent in the fraternal circles of the state and has a large acquaintance throughout the state. Mr. Love made our visit to Visalia a pleasant one and we wish in this manner to thank him for the many courtesies shown. While we did not have the pleasure of addressing the citizens, we made arrangements to do so on our return to their city at an early date. Political Straws This being the county seat of Tulare county, Visalia is the hub around which all things political turn. We find here a great people who all seem to stand for a square deal and for fairness and consideration. We want to say that this citizenship cannot be excelled no place on the globe. We procured the announcement of every candidate for public position which we visited and with only or two exceptions even had an interview with all of them. We shall from time to time, commencing in this issue, give brief write-ups giving to our Tulare county readers a pen picture of quite a few of them through Messrs. Love and others. A monster meeting is being arranged for our next visit in Visalia during the coming month. IMPROVED
