MUTILATED PAGE MEXICO F Avoid Hard Time Mr. TIMELY ARTICLE ON A TIMELY SUBJECT By S. P. Dones I have been asked to write a few lines in regard to what we now all call hard times, the cause and how to avoid them. Being asked to answer these two questions at one time, I hardly know where to begin, but fearing you may get tired of reading before you finish this article. I will attempt to answer the most important one, which is, "How to avail hard times?" First, I think even one should cut down their household expenses in accordance with his or her income. I think every family should have a bank account and use the checking system in paying off all bills. I believe this to be one of the greatest ways to save money. I think in each family the husband or wife (whichever is the most conservative) should handle the money, and there should not be the same bills to pay indefinitely, except the telephone, gas, water, electricity and taxes—these bills we will always have to pay. But house rent is a bill that can be easily adjusted. I only wish that every member of my race that lives in the city of Los Angeles would say down, with paying rent. Pay as much as you can spare and as little as the owners will accept down, and begin buying a little home; have your monthly payments as light as possible. Don't pay every cent you make on your property, keep up your payments such as they are, continue to put a few dollars in the bank, because when these semi-conditions bordering on what is called hard times, arrive, this will help you more than an equity in a home. Don't buy a house that you think you will never pay for, get a nice little house large enough to comfortably house wife and the little ones, do not worry about living far out, and don't worry about being on the car line—a few blocks walk will do you good. Now when you are in your little home rearing your little doves in their own nests, you are in a position to consider what has caused the hard times. At present the so-called hard times are brought about on account of the present administration, but remember, my dear readers, these hard times affect the great nation more than the individual. You take the man that was working for $75 per month years ago, he still has the same job, getting the same salary, yet he is grumbling about hard times. Now, really a great part of our so-called hard times are brought about by our own selves, on account of shiftlessness and extravagance in the time of prosperity. To the young man, while today you are working, no matter what your vocation may be, no matter how little you are earning, if you can afford to go to dances, shows and other places of amusement, you can afford to put a few dollars in the bank. Then when you lose your job it will not worry you so much because you cannot get a new job the next day—you can afford to spend a few days at MUTI ILLEGIBLE ORIGINAL home helping mother. From time to time I shall try to write a few lines on how to save a portion of your earnings. I shall be glad to answer personal letters on this subject. I hope that every young man may be benefited in some way by this and other articles which may appear in the Eagle. There is nothing sadder, more pathetic to my vision than to see the young men of my race spending their time and money in idleness. You cannot save money and at the same time spend your evenings in playing pool and other expensive pastimes. When we learn to save a dollar for a rainy day then we shall be able to call such times as we are having now, dull times and not hard times. Let us all look forward to better times along the financial lines with the Panama Canal coming in 1915. There will be big things doing along commercial lines, but unless the individual learns to be conservative, and gets other savings after 1915 has gone down in history and the great south will have reached its 1,000,000 basis and property has doubled and trebled in value, there will still be a portion of our population consisting of those who get the hard times every time they lose a job The southern division of the State Federation of Colored Women's Club held their Reciprocity Day in Phillips Chapel, C. M. E. Church, Santa Monica, State President Mrs. E. . Moxley presiding. The morning session was given to the work of the executive board. At noon the ladies had lunch. Afternoon session began at 2 p. m. The report of clubs and general business. The report of the northern division was read and approved. This marks one of the most important meetings we have had this year. At the close of the meeting all the members of the Federation were invited by Mrs. Wright to her home where she had prepared a very sumptuous repast. After spending the evening with Mrs. Wright the ladies returned home having enjoyed the most pleasant day. State Federation meets in San Diego the latter part of July. VENICE, OCEAN PARK AND SANTA MONICA J. Allen Reese, Correspondent Quite an interesting Easter celebration was held at the First Baptist' Church last Sunday. The program consisted of participants of both churches, and was exceptionally interesting. After the program, Easter eggs were given all present. Among the Venetians who were present at the "Drew Celebration" on last Tuesday evening were Mrs. Eldridge, Mrs. Gentry and Mr. Jones. Miss Fanny Reese entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. Howard, 546 San Juan avenue, at a box party. The highest bid was $1.75 for Miss Simpson's beautiful box, by Mr. Quince Tabor; second was $1.50, by Mr. Hunt, for Miss Reese's handsome box; third was $1.35, by J. Allen Reese, for Mrs. A. L. Reese's well equipped box. Quite a sum was realized and all had a nice time. The proceeds go towards the fund started by the auxiliaries of the Baptist church for the expense of carrying on the convention in July. EAST EIGHTH ST.

But we can not be consistent. To some warped and misguided minds it is only an injustice when we are the victims. But, of course, we may righteously arouse sentiment against the white man and thereby bar and prevent him from competing with us, but when he reverses the pro- [Name] cess and does the same thing—true, more effectively—we raise the hue and cry of race prejudice. At least this appears to be the method of a few narrow minded persons in our athVletic world today. They would have it that colored athletes be entered in the games and meets of the white athletes. They want the white man to give the colored professional a chance, but refuse to co-operate with the white man to that effect. They want good attractions, but can not supply them themselves and do not want others to do so. However, these short-sighted ones are in the minority. The public demands good attractions and is not averse to taking them from Nat C. Strong or anyone else who can deliver the goods. Many white promoters are good friends to the race, in that they accomplish more for its good than the whole horde of inconsistent and narrow minded kickers who CANN CANNOT BE IMPROVED EAGLE Race Notes and wittingly or unwittingly, would make our gigantic struggle for recognition as gigantic a farce and a by-word to thinking people. To broad minded and intelligent people it is obvious that we must be willing to concede to others the rights and privileges we demand for ourselves.—Amsterdam News. The colored man in America has gone through the same experiences as the white man. He gave 250 years of unrequited toil to build up the nation. In the Revolutionary war Crispus Attucks, a mulatto, was the first man to shed his blood that white men might be really free. One hundred and nine of the 425 dauntless sailors who fought with Perry at the battle of Lake Erie were colored men. Nearly 200,000 colored soldiers fought with white men in the slaveholders' rebellion in defense of their common country. In the Spanish-American war the colored troopers did their duty splendidly at El Caney. From arl little farm owned by John Jones, a former slave in Shelby county, Tenn., has come to the supreme court of the United States the question of whether former slaves are entitled to inherit from their brothers and sisters who likewise were in servitude. The supreme court of Tennessee had held that ex-slaves have no inheritable blood. One of John Jones' brothers has taken the case to the United States supreme court, seeking a reversal. PASS THE CRISIS The Washington Bee, the New York Age and mayhap other of the faithful have been wasting lots of ammunition here of late on DuBois insomuch that we fear they are reaching a Crisis. Boys, call off the dogs! You are hunting rabbits with a brass band! You are shooting a dead duck! Why DuBois, the charity editor of the Crisis is only a boiled over bi-product of, the Atlanta free school system, and what is all this fuss about? Just because DuBois took his Crisis and moved up in front, notifying the world that the Crisis was the Mahomet of Negro journalism and that he (DuBois) was its prophet. Now, gentlemen, the notification does not tell the truth and therefore is unworthy the advertising which is being given it. Every sensible Negro knows that away back yonder when the times tried men's souls, when the Ku-Klux and Red Shirt Brigades of the South and the Cottonmouths and Copperheads of the North were hunting down every Negro who had the temerity to assert his manhood, there were Negro editors then like Fred Douglas, Tom Fortune, E. E. Cooper, John Mitchell, W. A. Brinkley, J. C. Duke, M. E. Bryant, R. N. Counterte Peter Clark, John M. Langston, W. C. Chase and C. A. Buchanan, who were giving the world the simple story of a struggling race. In their journals they were notifying the world that the Negro not only was a man at Appomattox but was a citizen at Washington! Where then was DuBois? and where the Crisis? Why DuBois was a shirt-tail-boy down in the swamps of Georgia, and the Crisis had not seen the light of day. This is the story. Let the Negro newspapers whose editors work to make the money to operate them desist from acrimonious discussion of the vain babblings of an ephemeral creature which exists by sufferance and charity. They have wasted a zeal which was worthy of a better cause. Let us return to the attack of the common enemy—ignorance, dependence, crime and other things which just now constitute the obstacles of a rising race. Exit Dubois! Ditto Crisis! On with the battle for those things which are essential to progress and which are eternal!—Dallas Express. FRESNO NEWS PETER H. BURGESS Edward E. Lewis The above is an excellent likeness of Mr. Jas. A. Coleman, one of Fresno's brightest young business men. Although but a recent arrival. Mr. Coleman has opened and now operated one of the cleanest and up-to-date barber shops and billiard parlors in this part of the state. Mr. Coleman is an active member of the Lincoln Republican Club and a lover of race enterprise. Mrs. Jas. A. Coleman is an active member of the Second Baptist church. Easter was observed at all of the local churches. Special program was rendered by Bethel Sunday school under the direction of Mrs. Redd. The band boys' social, held at Second, Baptist church, was a grand success. The boys will send off this week for their instruments. A large crowd attended the Easter tango ball at Armory Hall under the auspices of the band boys. Mr. Jas. Ernest Trokey of Coalinga was a welcomed visitor in our city last Friday evening en route to San Francisco, where he will spend Easter. Mr. Love of Visalia was in Fresno Sunday and was the guest of the local Odd Fellows. Rev. Dr. Riddle of San Francisco was in our city last Saturday evening and was the guest of Mr. Ed Lewis. The Rev. left on a late train for the city. Eugene Berry remains very ill at his home on "E" street. Don't fail to attend the Baptist Sunday school convention which convenes in this city the 24th of April. San Diego Doings MUTILATED PAGE STATISTICAL REFERENCE AND DIRECTORY OF SAN 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 this people have and are accomplishing along these lines: alue 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.

Robertson, pastor We will say that the churches are presided over by an intelligent ministry, who are doing a great work for the spiritual aspect of our people Rev. R. N. Haubert has just completed the building of a handsome church edifice which will compare favorably with any of the churches owned by our people in any city of the county of its size. The church and property is valued at $17,500. The First Street Baptist Church, under the leadership of Rev. W. A. Mitchell, is in a prosperous condition and he is a worthy example of the Christian ministry. This church property is valued at near the $50,000 mark. They expect to build a handsome edifice soon. The East Side Church, presided over by Rev. J. E. Robinson, is on in the even tenor of its way and serving its needs in this locality. Their property has a valuation of $2,000.

Quite a few beautiful homes are owned here by colored citizens, and there are several who are conducting business on a large scale. Mr. E. W. Anderson has the city contract for caring for the garbage, and works a crew of men averaging twenty-five. 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.

Subscriptions taken, office 1034 East 9th street, Los Angeles, The California Eagle. A quaint wedding was solemnized at high noon, April 8, 1914, at St. Phillips Episcopal Church. The pastor, Father Cleghorn, officiating, when Miss Myrtle May Baker, daughter of Mrs. Edward L. Baker, Jr, and the late Capt. E.L. Baker, U. S. A. of this city became the bride of Mr. Thomas Kuykendall, recently of Topeka, Kansas. The bride's mother, Mrs. E. L. Baker, Jr., assisted as matron of honor. The bride was born in Ft. Grant, Arizona, 22 years ago and later moved to the Philippine Islands, where her father was stationed. The services took place in the presence of relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Kuykendall left immediately for an auto tour through Southern California En route they will visit Mr. and Mrs. Dennis B. Wilson of Denver Col., and upon their return will make their home at 1377 Eight 15th street, this city. The Wedding March was rendered by the two beautiful sisters of the bride, the Misses Gwendolyn and Eugenia, both single and who reside with their mother and two brothers at 1142 Kingsley Drive. Pullman porters have formed a corporation and aim to organize a country-wide union and regulate rates of service. Starting in Alberta, Can., it has spread rapidly toward and through the Western States and has struck Los Angeles solidly. William Rea, who is acting for the Porters in forming an incorporated association, has just intimated what is going to happen to the traveler who fails to cross the palm of the porter, following complete organization; but it seems that the regulation of rates enters prominently into the purposes of the affiliation. The Northern porters are confident that their application will go through all right in Alberta at the next session of the provincial legislature; thence they intend to grow until they cover all the Western States. According to Rea, if the formation of countrywide association goes through it will have no room for speculation as to tips. Not long ago Frederic J. Haskin, the newspaper syndicate writer, published a long line of articles exposing the cvils of the WATCH THIS SPACE 120 tipping system and pointing out that any man who permitted himself to be separated from tips was loose in the head and not fit to travel without a guardian. "Well, Haskin," said Vice President Sherman, soon after the publication of these articles, "I suppose you will live up to what you wrote, and now give a tip?" "Well, not exactly, explained Haskin. All the bell-hops and hotel waiters remember my name now, and as soon as I register at a hotel now they begin to show me that 'tips' are indispensable. They have converted me. Whenever I enter a hotel now I begin by tipping the man who grabs my grip, and my progress through the entire house is a rain of silver coin." The State Railroad Commission, acting recently on the complaints of many travelers, ordered the Pullman Company to appear before them on last Nov. 19 and explain its practices, rules and regulations. The Commission wants to know how much the Company depends on passengers' tips in figuring porters' wages, and why upper berths are pulled down when not occupied, making lower berths stuffy and cramped. Why the answer 'No lowers left,' so often proved to be a "mistake" the next morning. Mr. Napoleon Doak of 1944 Bush street, San Francisco, ex-member of the "Black Patti" Co., will entertain the "Happy Walker Sister,s and Harry Reed, now playing at Pantages in San Francisco. The "spending habit" railroad men who imagine they are making any money on the road because they are not hauling coal or farming, at the same time are undermining their health by long hours on duty, loss of sleep and rest, and yet they will give most of their earnings to the poolrooms and barkeepers. "Getting money is not the chief end of man," but modern conditions render its possession in reasonable quantity a very great convenience. The first $100 to be held as one's own, beyond the reach of the creditor or the demand of immediate necessity, is difficult to obtain in most instances. When Dr. Washington was in Los Angeles he named the savings bank account as a most important step toward race self-respect, industrial value and personal opportunity. The chance game to get money is an uncertain one and often leads to such acts as took place recently on Ceres avenue over 25 cents. This should be a lesson to the best of us, who imagine that such a fate with us not probable—yet it is possible. RAILROAD PENSIONERS. Thirty-eight new names have been added to the pension list of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co., as a result of action taken at a recent meeting of the board of directors. The pensions awarded aggregate $1,260.-80 per month. The pension roll of the company amounts to $140.-000 per annum. The porters and waiters are next in line. They deserve and need it. The Pullman Porters' Association is a good organization and should prosper. There are men in the service who, for punctuality, congenial nature and courteousness, have rendered invaluable service as porter. The number of stripes have an immense significance unknown to the general public. Each stripe signifies five years of continuous, efficient service and reliability and discipline *.* MAY 1 SPECIAL RATES TO L. A. Reports of the S. P., Salt Lake and the Santa Fe railroads indicate that more people from Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada will spend the summer months in Los Angeles and the nearby beaches this year than ever before. The summer round trip rate from these sections to Los Angeles and the beach points will go into effect May 1 and continue until Sept. 30, with a final return limit to Nov. 30. The rate will be one and one-third the regular one-way fare for the round trip. SANTA FE TRAIN PORTERS TO BE REINSTATED. The Company having won against the demand of the Order of Railway Trainmen in their "full crew" law, to remove all colored train porters and put a white brakeman in his place, the Santa Fe train porters are to be reinstated. There is no corporation that will stand to be dictated to by a body of workmen. As young Rockefeller says, in speaking of the great strike of the Fuel and Iron Co.: pany; that the strike had become a fight for the "principles" of the freedom of labor and that he and his associates would rather that the present violence continue, and that they lose all their millions invested in the coal fields than that American workmen should be deprived of the right under the Constitution to work for whom they please. He asserted that em- ployer and employee were fellow men and should treat each other as such; that he should see no analogy between the unionization of workmen and the combination of capital. Walter Rollins, formerly of Chicago, but later of New Orleans, paid a visit to The Eagle office this week. He is on a visit to his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Reynolds. He says that California has, without a doubt, the finest weather, women and wine in the the Union, and being an expert barber, hotel and bar man, he thinks seriously of staying here Being a bachelor, with no homes, he is open to engagements and will carefully consider all propositions.

The San Francisco Chronicle or April 8 said: A series of revival meetings held recently in a small interior town closed with a cash collection of $1,110 00 for the traveling evangelist. A subscription for the benefit of the local clergyman was then suggested and the tinerant exhorter let go of $10 for this fund. There is a moral in this little moving picture of religious life not suggested by the exuberant generosity of the revivalist. It seems to us that a people who can shower gold on a passing stranger ought to be ashamed not to support their own regular pastors with salaries that would not make it necessary to pass the hat for second hand charity. who faithfully minister to their people, day in and day out, are glad to be fed with crumbs—and mighty small crumbs at that—which are left when the traveling exhorter has filled himself. This sort of thing goes on all the time and all over the country. It is not creditable either to the piety or the generosity of the business sense of those who have a hand in it.

In case of subscribers not receiving their papers, inform us by postal and we shall cheerfully furnish a duplicate copy of said missing Did you hear the mighty rumbling in the political arena? It was the republican bandwagon passing through New Jeresy. In the recall election now on for the supervisor of the second supervisoral district the colored vote is decidedly the deciding factor when it is known that the district comprises the black belt and contains more than 4000 colored voters. The king bees and head of all the acrobats living or dead is an east side semi-colored republican organization which gave at least on paper a great meeting last week for one candidate and giving another this week for another candidate for the same office. "Truly the sun do move." --- We are not singing any swan songs, but the promised relief as a result of the revision of the tariff downward is not yet in sight, or the enactment of the currency bill either has brought any relief. All we can see or hear of is some large concern laying off their men, and the unemployed recruiting new armies all over the land. The only antidote that we can think of or that will give relief, is a great big dose of republicanism. As we go to press the Mexican situation is as was generally expected that as the mighty U. S. battleships were rushing on to Tampico and Vera Cruz. Huerta announced that he would salute the flag, so as that is all that the government asked it seems as though the latest war cloud has passed. And that the president will again assume his watching and waiting policy. THE RECALL While in the supervisoral campaign there is no great principle at stake for or against our colored citizenship. The proposed recall of the council, city attorney and mayor furnishes food for thought, we notice in the reasons for recall on that of councilman and city attorney the charge that they were directive in their duty of protecting citizens in their rights. Now we understand this question of the rights of all the citizens has been put squarely up to the council and the city attorney and that they passed it by, by some subterfuge or another. If this be so it may be that the 17,500 Negro voters of Los Angeles should give the subject of the recall of the members of the council and other city offices their se rious consideration. Anyhow the matter is worth weighing to the end that the colored citizens at least if they have been unjustly dealt with, can get justice by the way of the recall. For the best interests of the ministry itself and the people that they prey upon, the sooner that the fake preachers that abound in the various communities are exposed the better for all concerned. A disgraceful lying preacher can can do more harm in a community than a bevy of crap shooters. The reason thereof is apparent. You know what the crap shooters are, but the pernicious gentleman of the cloth in wolves clothing goes about with a sanctimonious look and is sapping the life's blood insidiously, and like a poisonous reptile inoculates with his virus the very foundation of society. So no matter who and at what place this fakir operates the people should not for one moment tolerate him. The Eagle knows of some of this gentry and we have our ears to the grass roots listening, and unless they change their methods we shall open fire on them and snatch the masks that they are wearing and expose their general unworthiness, to the end that the public will see them in their true light. The time has come that the fake preacher must go. It is moving day. A hint to the wise should be sufficient. WORDS OF PRAISE FOR M. M. MOULTON OF SAN DIEGO, CAL Los ANGELES, Cal., April 17, 1914 One of the best men in public life in this State is the Honorable Montgomery M. Moulton of the city of San Diego. I know that these are political times and that the good and bad of all men, asking the favorable consideration of voters are being reflected upon the public canvas. I am not a politician, and as long as I can industriously engage myself I know that my hog and hominy is sure; hence, I do not hesitate to say a word of commendation for my friends. I recit that during the war with Spain Montgomery M. Moulton was on duty on the field with the rest of us, and that as a comrade he was kind and agreeable to all men—white and black alike. It was his good fortune to be associated with colored troops during that war and he respected them on duty and off duty—and this cannot be said of many others with whom we had contact. He is a member of the Department of Spanish War Veterans of the State of California, and in all matters involving the colored man he registered himself on our side, and his influence had much to do with regulating the mistakes of other white men. The man will go out of his way to do the colored people a service among his own folks, when he has no ax to grind, but serves them because his sense of right and justice to his fellows—without regard to color—is certainly deserved on our confidence, and even more. He deserves our strongest and most earnest support in public affairs. In Mr. Moulton I always know I have a "friend at court"—one who can be depended on to stand by the fight with the same fearlessness that he has stood by the country when he was enlisted to fight its battles. He is generous, loyal and true to all Veterans, and I have known him to do special favors for Colored Veterans. The people of San Diego will never regret having placed their confidence of Montgomory M. Moulton. F. H. CRUMBLY WORTHY OF YOUR PAT RONAGE There is no steam laundry in this city operated by our people. Such being so, we should then patronize those that are at least friendly and show the same by employing members of our race, and in other ways show their appreciation of our patronage. Such a laundry is the Quick Service, located at 905 Central avenue, conducted by the Whitney Bros. These broad-gauged business men by fair treatment to all have built up a splendid business. When they have an opening for help, color cuts no figure—the only question asked is, can you do the work, if so you get a fair trial. Several members of our race are employed here in various capacities. They carry their advertisement in this journal by the year, thus helping to maintain our press, and we should all unhesitantly patronize this and all other concerns like it, as they are in every way deserving of the same The Henderson Realty Co.

So. 871. The East Eighth Street Christian Church has organized a club known as the "East Eighth Street Boosters' Club!" It's object will be to boost all laudable institutions of the race. Rev. Henderson's article in late week's issue made him say that the Baptist connection had purchased 30 acres for their Old Folks' Home. This was an error. They have bought four acres near Watts. We invite our readers to become better acquainted with us; we want you all to feel that this journal is a mouthpiece for all, and when you have anything of general interest come up, tell us, or write of it and send the same to us. We will gladly give the same our attention. In other words, we want to keep in touch with you to better enable us to fight the battles of the great masses, the common people. We also want the young people to take an interest in their newspaper. High school students and others, send in your matter; let it be published in California's leading race journal. MEMEBRS OF MY RACE, ATTENTION Now is the time to buy real estate. Better buy through one who knows values, locations, and who will not misrepresent. It is better to buy in the lines of present development—where water and civilization is—than in an undeveloped country, regardless of what may be promised. It is unwise to buy land without water in California. I have five acres of good level land at Sunland, near Burbank, with water, for $200 acre. I have many good buys in houses and lots near in—small cash payments. MILTON W.

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.

Herbén at Minister Federation, DR. J. D. HERBIN SPEAKS AT MINISTERS FEDERATION Dr. J. D. Herben, formerly of Atlantic City, New Jersey, was on the program at the Ministers' Federation at the G. M. C. A. on last Tuesday and his address was indeed a great treat for all of those who were fortunate enough to hear him. The doctor is a fluent and eloquent speaker and his subject, dealing with the "Divine Nature," was ably and beautifully pictured by this eminent divine. Among other things he said; When man becomes a Christian a notable change takes place; this change in the case of some who profess to become Christians may not appear, but it has taken place in all who really become Christians. There never was a fact more apparent both to him who is the subject of the change and those associated with him. This change is suggested by what is THE EDITOR --- said to have transpired. He is salf to have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. He has then become separated from the world of corruption. The Divine Spirit does not spend much time in describing processes, and rather gives results. His escape, however, begins when he repents of his sins and is complete when he believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. He only really; succeeds in life who more and more comes to possess the divine life. We are reproducing our article of last week of Dr. Herben, owing to the fact that in getting up the same our make-up man disconnected the same, and in justice to ourselves are reproducing the same properly corrected. A FOREMOST BAPTIST DIVINE One of the greatest divines of the Baptist Church is in our midst for an indefinite stay, in the person of Dr. J. Douglass Herben, late of Atlantic City, N. J., at which place for seven years he pastored the leading church of that denomination. Dr. Herben comes to the Coast highly endorsed by his connection throughout the country, his credentials from the church, the press, public officials and laymen paying him the highest tribute as a pulpiteer and great force in the religious uplift of the race. His strong forte seems to be his ability to get results by saving souls and maintaining the church, and when the results of his efforts as an evangelist and preacher are taken into account it is no wonder that his fame has preceded him here. He pastored the Second Baptist Church at Atlantic City for seven years, and in that time he fellow- shipped to the membership thereof 1,453 persons, and raised upwards of $30,000. A record which shows for itself his great ability. At a meeting of two weeks duration in Koanoke, Va., which he conductd, there were ninety-seven conversions and fifty-six accessions. The following article from the Christian Banner, published at Philadelphia, will give an idea of Dr. Herben's great work in the East. We are proud of the work that has been accomplished by Dr. Herben in Atlantic City, and of the magnificent church which he has given to the Baptists of that city. It makes every Baptist feel proud when he goes to Atlantic City to find there three of the largest and best churches. We want to compliment the church on the fact that they showed their appreciation of the service of Dr. Herben by giving him one of the greatest farewell receptions ever tendered a prelate in this section, and we are glad to number the Second Baptist Church among the nobler churches of our denomination which are willing to give honor to whom honor is due. So Los Angeles, Baptist and religious circles in general are glad to have in our midst such characters as Dr. Herben, and feel honored with his presence. He is at present conducting a series of meetings at Furlong Tract, at the Harmony Baptist Church. He is a forceful and eloquent speaker, and all of our people should avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing Dr. Herben. He is a man who does not stand and wait for things to turn up, but goes aftr results, hence on his arrival in our city he got right into the harness to work and to do good. Great work is needed all over our land to keep up and maintain our religious institutions, and we need in our midst men of the type of Dr. Herben. And we truly hope that he will see fit to remain in this bailiwick and make even a greater record than he did in Atlantic City. Dr. Herben's wife is one of the leading educators of the East, and has been of inestimable help in the great results which have been his. She is at present principal of one of the public schools at Roanoke, Virginia. The Doctor at the present time is field secretary of the Western Division of the Baptist Convention. Ira Chrisman for "A clean-cut man." Such was your editor's opinion of the genial Recorder of Tulare county, whom we met on our recent visit to Visalia. Without any hesitation or excuses Mr. Christman showed himself to be the man whom we vouch for, as friendly and appreciative of his colored constituents. We are always ready to sing the praises of such, when we meet them. Mr. Christma will receive from our people a hearty and strong support for renomination and election to succeed himself a $ ^{\infty} $ Qoy-u Recorder of Tulare county.

When I say that every one on the program tried to fill his or her place, it is something unusual, because generally at the last minute some one falls out of line, but not so with us this Easter. We had the best time ever. We raised $10 for missions. Mrs. Fannie Smith, along with Messrs. Scott, Finley, Dunlap and Herbert, left this week for the Heizic ranch to begin harvest. --- Quite a number of our farmers have planted sugar beets this year. Mr. Nimrod; Rainbow has ten acres, Mr. Abraham Stockett, ten acres, Mr. Anderson Bird, ten acres; Mr. Archer, five acres; Mrs. A. Grimes, five acres. Another one of our farmers, Mr. Nash, is planting rice for one of the white farmers adjoining the Colony. 一 Allensworth has become to be quite a shipping point for eggs and poultry. The ladies of the Colony are much interested in turkeys, chickens and ducks. Mrs. Lula Banks of Bakersfield spent Easter with her mother, Mrs. Julia Smith. Mrs. Banks returned home Monday. Mrs. Ray Towne of Oakland came in Easter morning to visit her brothers, Messrs. Wallace and Henry Towne. After having a delightful visit of two weeks with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Campbell Baltimore Long Beach Long Beach San Francisco Bay 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 Chautaqua. The purpose of the Young People's Chautaqua 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$^{n}$ 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 goo'd 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 nia to participate at this great soilder people of Norther.

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. 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.
