We Stand For Thc Highest Patriotism For Our Country Volume 27 We Stand Brief Review of Race Co Gath TEN DAYS' OBSERVATION OF SAN DIEGO San Diego is a typical California town, with about thou thousand inhabitants, located in the southern part of the state, and on that end of the Pacific that furnishes a more even climate than is enjoyed in Los Angeles. The subject of my paper is not a challenge. I hope, to the better opinion, but certainly to accepted practice. Of the ten thousand inhabitants of San Diego, fifteen hundred are negroes, about a hundred and fifty of whom own or are buying their own homes, which are pleasantly located and well kept, in different sections of the city. Sometimes three or four found together or near by; but as a rule scattered far apart. This class who own or are buying their own homes are ambitious, and, as far as I was able to ascertain from the best authority are desirable citizens. By the way they represent in nearly every case churchgoing people. In San Diego there are two small Baptist churches, each. I should think, with a membership of less than a hundred, and one Methodist of a similar status as to membership. But we must give credit to whom credit is due. Aftr getting over the town steadily, and carefully observing for five days, always with eager eyes for negro entrprises, I came upon Bethel A. M. E. Church. Of course you know that the "A" was the key to the situation. I could hardly believe my eyes, for up to this time I had seen nothing in the way of an edifice akin to this that was owned or dominated over by my people. And so this was the first enjoyed by my aesthetic devotion. I was not satisfied with a view from without, but penetrated the rear. Was met by the Rev. Mrs. Barnette and was shown in and through this artistic little church home, where I later had the privilege of meeting and speaking to the members of the same. In fact, I want to here and now thank the pastors and wives of the three churches who so cordially and warmly received me into their church homes in behalf of my work, making my ten days' stay in San Diego a most pleasant one that will not soon be forgotten. Were I to pass along without making special mention of the work being done by Rev. and Mrs. Petr Robinson of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, I would do these people an injustice, for they entrained me not only in their little church, but also in their little home, which I was wont to think of as Dreamland, because of its simplicity and beauty. Rev. and Mrs. Robinson are doing a great work at San Diego. Starting but a few years ago, with two or thr eemembers and no Sunday school, they now have a membership of at least sixty and a Sunday school membership of fifty children and grown-ups. On reaching the city, however, being strangers, we began to make inquiries for a colored hotl or lodging house where we could secure accommodation, and was told by at least a half dozen persons that there was no such accommodation in the city, and was directd to the Louis Hotel, run by a Jew, who accorded us the best treatment under existing conditions, such as old house, scarcity of hot watr, steep stairs, etc., etc. We found the same shortage in cafe service, and were forced to take our meals in a Chinese cafe where flies abound and chop sucy was the chief issue, which my stay in California has not yet induced me o sample. Being deeply impressed with the needs of our people in the town, and grieved because of what I considered negligence on their part, when the Sabbath came around and I was granted a few minutes in which to speak at Brother Robinson's church. I fired in upon that part of San Diego's colored population that was present. My short experience in the work has not yet taught me to overcome or curb my impulsive nature, hence I am often called upon to suffer regret for some untimely suggestion or remark. So it was on this occasion. My fiery criticism was received by some with nods and yeps, and by others with a cold, stern no while still others, who felt that I did not know my subject, waited at the door to correct me. However, even though I have a letter on my desk from a gentleman at San Diego, stating that there is one lodging house in that city, containing eighteen neatly furnished rooms, with good accommodations, I was unable to find or even have the same recommended to me while there. I hope, however, that if my little review of conditions has any effect upon my colored "kin" at San Diego it will at least create a desire for getting more proper business enterprises, and less pleasure. BAPTIST MINISTER OF SOU CALIFORNIA REQUESTED TO ACT IN BEHALF OF MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH AT BAKERS- Rev. E. E. Bickers of Bakersfield visited Los Angeles last week remaining over to attend the Ministerial Union Tuesday morning. The object of Rev. Bicker's visit was to solicit the aid of the brethren of this section in behalf of the Mt. Zion Church at Bakersfield, which it seems, at present, is in a state of much confusion. Rev. Bickers came at the advice and with a personal letter from Dr. West, pastor of First Baptist church, which we are publishing here. The Moderator and members of the Executive Board responded to Rev. West, thanking him for the interest invested, and assuring him that they would exercise their power to the fullest for the protection and preservation of the Christian dignity of the church. Our Bakersfield correspondent, Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters is doing excellent work for the old bird. We hope that our subscribers and patrons will do everything that is possible. Bakersfield, April 17, 1914. The Executive Board. Los Angeles, Cal., APRIL 24 1914 Western Baptist Assn. Dear Brethren: Inasmuch as Bro. E. E. Bickers is coming to you in regard to matters which vitally concern, our colored Baptist Church here, I want you to know that he does so with my advice. The present pastor of the church here has taken a stand in matters of which Bro. Bickers will inform you which has lost to him the fellowship and assistance of the Ministerial Union and has put him in a position which in my opinion and that of my brother ministers, unfits him, to successfully lead our work here. I want you to know also that although I am exceedingly sorry, for the necessity for it I have encouraged Brother Bickers in what he has done so far to hold together such of the colored Baptists as have felt obliged to discontinue attendance at the Mt. Zion Baptist church. I hope for the good of the work that the pastorate may be vacated in the near future and a man found who can reunite and rally all the forces and save both the church and our property to the negro Baptists of this city. I am writing this in spite of the fact that up to a rather recent date I have believed in the present pastor and aided him in every way possible in his work. Yours fraternally. JAMES WEST. Pastor First Baptist Church. NEW CHURCH IS ORGAN IZED The Providence Baptist Institutional Church was organized on Thursday night, April 23, with about 40 members. Rev. R. H. Wade acted as chairman of the meeting. The church has extended a call to Rev. Alfred C. Williams, who is now pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church of Pasadena. Dr. Williams has been in California for about 5 months and has proved himself a gentleman, a scholar, a preacher and a Christian. The church hopes and intends to prove a blessing and a credit to the denomination and the city at large. With a man like Rev. Williams at the head, there is no reason why the institution should not be led to great success. Rev. Williams is a man of a broad experience and a liberal education. He was at a very early age graduated from the Florida State Baptist College. He took his A. B. and B. D. degrees from Morehouse College, formerly Baptist College, one of the best schools in the South, and did postgraduate work in Columbia University of New York City. Rev. Williams began his pastorate with the First Baptist Church at Green Cove Springs, Fla., at the age of 19 years. After two years' service with this church he was called to the Antioch Baptist Church of Atlanta, Ga. During the six years he was with this church he did a great work. He took the work in Atlanta while a student and built it up from a membership of about 75 to more than 500 and increased the value of the property $10,000. He was there married to Miss Louise N. Maxwell of Atlanta, a graduate of Atlanta University and daughter of the late and brilliant Dr. L. B. Maxwell. Dr. Williams was then called to the pastorate of the Mt. Tabor Baptist Institutional Church of Palatka, Fla., where in one year and three months he baptized 115 souls and realized an increase in membership in toto above 200. The church owed a debt of $5000 when he went to them. When he left them they owed $1500. Because of the seeming failing health of Mrs. Williams, Rev. Williams accepted what he thought to be a call to come to California. Since he has been here he has not had what much of the public believes to be a fair chance. So the members who compose the new organization purpose by the assistance of the fair-minded public to give him a chance as a young man to maintain on the Pacific coast the reputation he sustained on the Atlantic. Rev. Williams has not accepted the call to the new church, but we are hoping he will. The church will hold services Sunday at Scott's Hall, 561 Central avenue. The public is cordially invited to attend the services. GOLDEN WEST LODGE OF ELKS ENTERTAINS The local Elks gave on last Wednesday evening at their hall on Eighth and Wall streets what was probably one of the greatest affairs of its kind ever given in this city, by the way of a smoker to its members and friends. More than 250 were present of the representative men of the city. The atmosphere of the occasion was good fellowship, and this spirit predominated throughout the evening. Prominent citizens were called upon for short addresses between numbers furnished by the Los Angeles Entertainers and other local talent. It was a great evening made possible by a great organization, and Exalted Ruler Ceruti. Past Exalted Ruler Hicks, and other officers and the members are to be congratulated upon the highly creditable manner in which the greatest smoker ever held in the city was conducted. THE SANTA FE CAFE EN TERTAINS THE IDA OVERTON WALKER HAPPY GIRLS AND WINDY CITY, TRIO The Santafe Cafe management on last Wednesday evening entertained the famous Ada Overton Walker Happy Girls and the Windy City Trio theatrical troupes that are playing dates in this city this week at local playhouses. The dining room of this popular cafe was tastefully decorated for the occasion and the entertainment was furnished both by local talent and the visitors. While all the numbers were par excellent, the hit of the evening was the number by Miss Alberta Perkins., and by Miss Lulu Thomas Cook, who is a niece of Mr. Sol Thomas. The cafe was crowded to its fullest capacity and was a highly creditable affair in honor of the theatrical talent of the race. Messrs. Thomas and Hite are to be congratulated upon their efforts to run a high-class place, and are receiving a justly deserved patronage as one of the leading cafes in the country. The personnel of the Ada Overton Walker Company is Miss Nettie Anderson, Hazel Thompson, Katherine Jones, Corola Hatcher, Marion Pather, Messrs. Harry The Art of Saving Reed and Creighton Thompson Of the Windy City Trio the members are Misses Mabel Gant Alberta Perkins and Mr. George Casmay. By Sidney P. Jones 412 Germain Bldg. Dear Readers: I shall further attempt to write a few lines on how to save money. It looks as if it would be more important to read an article on how to make money instead of how to save money, but as the greater number of us are engaged in some line of work or business by which we are making our livelihood, I think it more appropriate that I devote this space which is allowed me by the kind editor of this paper to how we should save our earnings. As I said in last week's article, that every man, woman, girl or boy who is earning their own living should have a bank account. If you are working for a salary, no matter how small it may be, if it is enough to afford a reasonable amount of expensive amusement, it is surely enough to put a few dollars in the bank. I do not favor anyone going along through life without having any pleasure, but I do believe that every man, woman, boy or girl should at least stay within the bounds of their earnings. We cannot at $50 a month afford the same pleasure that the one can who is earning $100. Have you ever figured out how much you can save in 10 years at $10 per month? The principal alone would be $1200. Now if the first $10 you deposit in the bank is put on savings account at 3% per year, and you would continue to put $10 each month in the bank, which would draw the same amount of interest at the end of 10 years you approximately would have to your credit $1368; thus, you see the interest alone would be more than you could save in one year at $10 per month. Of course, it looks like a long road to travel, but you, my dear reader, who has been working 10 years, just suppose you had tried this plan of saving. You would not need to worry very much about the hard times that nearly everyone you meet is complaining about. Or, too, we often make a mistake in investing our money. I think every boy above the age of 18 years or even younger, should have some way of investing his money. He should go a reasonable distance out and buy cheap property—something that he can pay for in at least three years—and with a small amount deposited in the bank, and the increase in value of his property, he would be making rapid progress toward solving the hard-times problems. We all dislike to buy property on the installment plan, because we have to pay interest. Well, did you ever consider that property that is bought at its actual value is increasing in value at the rate of $6\%$ per annum, and this added to the amount of rent you pay would net you a clear saving of about $4\frac{1}{2}\%$ on the value of your property. To the Country $ Dones Tells How men and women who may read this article and have never invested any money in real estate and wish to buy a lot at 100 on terms of $5 down and every month, I will pay all interest, all taxes until paid. Now, this is not an advertisement, nor do I wish you to consider it as such, nor do I wish you to take the matter up unless you are not otherwise obligated, as this offer is only to those who may wish to make a start and do not want to be burdened down with interest and taxes. Yet I hope no one will allow this opportunity to pass. Now, dear readers, I would be glad to answer any personal letters that you may write along the lines of how to invest money or how to save money. In this way I hope to benefit some young man when I have satisfied myself that I have helped someone along the lines that I am writing. I shall take up a very important subject, which shall be of interest to the young man or woman who is saving his or her earnings, investing the money. This matter shall be along spiritual lines, which I hope may help in saving the soul of some one. Tuesday evening, April 28th, there will be a fancy lunch box social given at the residence of Mrs. F. J. Johnson, 749 Ceres avenue, under the direction of Miss C. A. Spear, for the benefit of the Old Folks' Home fund. The lady presenting the most artistic box will receive a prize of beauty and value, the name of which we reserve the right to withhold, with a guarantee that it is worth working for. All ladies over 16 and under 86 are invited to be present and enter the contest. The boxes will be sold at public auction to the gentlemen present. Come out and help us to make this a great success. The cause is worthy, since there is no greater need at our doors today than that of housing the old and decrepit members of the race. ATTENTION! All Sir Knights and Daughters of the Ancient United Knights and Daughters of Africa are requested to be present at the first annual sermon in this city at the First A. M. E. Church, Eighth and Towne Ave., Sunday, May 3d, at 2:30. All are cordially invited to see this noble order make its first public appearance. MRS. HATTIE S. BALDWIN, M. E. Q.; M. BUSBY, W. R. Wesley Chapel is in the midst of great prosperity. The people are crowding the church to hear the gospel in song and sermon; every department of the church is taking on new life. People are being converted at the regular services and many are joining the church and entering into the spirit of work for the Master. The pastor will preach from the following subjects, Sunday, 11 a.m.: "Sheltered from the Storm," and at 7:45 p. m., "Waiting by Working and Working While Waiting." At 3 p. m. the Lend a Hand Society will have its annual sermon preached by the pastor. E IMPR San-Francisco Doings MUTILATED PAGE SAN FRANCISCO Mr. Harry Coopland of New York City, the well-known caté promoter, whose experience as head waiter-in some of the largest cafes in and about New York is large, is a new arrival in San Francisco. He is accompanied by his wife and second man, John Shell, also an experienced waiter. They are looking for a suitable location to hang up their shingle. Mrs. L. Smith of Pacific avenue is on the sick list. Mrs. C. C. Johnson, who is a Native Daughter, having lived all her life in San Francisco, is thinking of taking up her new residence at San Jose. Mrs. Fisher, mother of the Misses Jane and Lilly Fisher, is reported still ill. Mrs. A. Lee of Oakland, who was for a number of years an invalid, is now enjoying the best of health in the atmosphere of Christian Science. Mr. Tom Berk, one of San Francisco's pioneer chefs, is still ill at his home, 954 Post street. Miss Dora Lee of Oakland is anticipating a visit to the South. Mrs. H. Shannon of 1584 Post street, is eagerly looking forward to the homecoming of Mr. Shannon, who has been hustling on the advertising end of The Eagle in the South for the past three weeks. SLEEPING CAR PORTERS' CLUB On the San Francisco page of this paper we desire to call attention to the ad of the Sleeping Car Porters' Club, located near Southern Pacific depot on Townsend street. This is one of the classiest establishments of its kind in this country, and is under the management of Mr. Henry Hastings and Richard Robinson. Mr. Hastings is an old railroad man and is very popular among the citizens of all classes and especially the railroad boys. He has been in business in Oakland and on this side for a number of years and by his affable and friendly dispositions has many friends who are glad to give him their patronage. Mr. Richard Robinson is the dean of colored entertainers in San Francisco and has a host of friends. His entertaining is of a high class and will add dignity to any place at which he appears. He is a favorite here and all wish the management well. The aim of this new club is to conduct a clean and up to date social club and no better duet could be found for class than Hastings and Robinson. "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 $ ^{20} $ Joy-u Recorder of Tulare county.

UNDER MANAGEMENT OF HASTING & ROBINSON 218 Townsend Street SPIKES-KITCHEN RECITAL One of the most brilliant affairs witnessed in the city was the excellent program rendered by Mrs. Viola Spikes-Kitchen and her assistants at Blanchard Hall Monday evening. The beautiful hall was packed to the doors, and every person present was highly entertained by the splendid aggregation of talent. The playing of Madame Kitchen was superb. Her rendition and the manner in which she executes at the piano easily win for her the distinction of being one of the race's best musicians. Miss Minnie Albritton, the sweet-voiced soprano, captured her audience by her grace and ease in rendering her two selections, and would have been forced to sing longer had she responded to the hearty applause of the audience. She put a stronger claim on the title given her as the prima donna of Southern California. Miss Eugenia Baker highly entertained with two selections on her violin. This young lady is certainly deserving of much appreciation from the public for her splendid performances. Miss Ethel Miller of Pasadena as usual won the audience with her lovely contralto voice; the well chosen selections and excellent rendition winning for her immense applause. Miss Mamie Cunningham recited in an excellent manner, and her recitations were greeted with much applause. Miss Gwendolyn Baker, the accompanist, deserves no small degree of credit for her performance, as she executed her part in a manner that aided the success of the occasion. The Southern California Theatrical Troupe are receiving on every hand much comment for their excellent showing of last Wednesday evening at Elks' Hall. All members of the troupe deserve credit and praise for the success of the performance, and especially the managers, Messrs Payne and Jessie Irwin. Much interest is being manifested in the coming musical festical at Gamut Auditorium next Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the Harriet Tubman Club, of which Mr. John Hall is manager. The entertainment is for the benefit of Wesley chapel, M. E. Church, and the best talent of the city has been secured for the program. [Picture of a young man in a suit and tie]. GROCERY CO.

FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE This journal is the organ of the every-day common people, the people who do things, the people who make up the great forces that are making the real progress of the race. For that reason our columns are open at all times for any of the doings of this people. And also that our forces are always at their service and call, we are striving to do all the good that we can for everybody. In this effort if we merit your approval we ask you to help us by encouraging the publication of a real newspaper for all of the people, minus any calls or ostion. Boost for race journals. not ours, some other. Tell your merchant if you see his ad in a race journal, and if it is not there ask him. Why? Perhaps the Mexican war will develop to the extnt that Wilson and his Democratic following will at least have a short recess from the segregation problem which they have so ardently hammered on since entering the governmental domain. LOOKING FURTHER IN ON THE RECALL FOR COUN- CILMAN AND CITY OFFICERS At the outset we do not think the gas issue sufficient cause insofar as the colored citizens are concerned for them to sign a recall for the city council and other city officers; otherwise we do not think that a sufficient number of the Council are objects of the petition. If so we would be heartily in favor of the recall *on the ground as stated in the petition that these Councilmen and other city officers have not been active in the protection of citizens in the exercise of their civil rights. On this ground the thousands of law-abiding negro citizens of Los Angeles can make a battle formation, put these derelict officials out of office and make sure to support for their successors only such men who are in favor of all of the citizens being protected in their civil rights. The records show that in the matter which was before the Council wherein gross discrimination was being practiced against negro citizens in public place, that the Council, unanimously decided that they could give no relief for more than 30,000 of its citizens who were being grossly discriminated against in public places. They said it was a matter for state regulation when it is well known there is a MUTILA state law that prohibits discrimination in public places. The ablest lawyers in the city say there is nothing to prohibit the Council from passing an ordinance regulating public licensed places, making it a cause for revocation for public places discriminating against any part of its law-abiding citizenship. Now this is a matter on which there is no middle ground, and the colored citizens, solely on the ground of non-protection in their civil rights, should line up on this recall. So now it is up to you. Get Busy! Line up! State's Federation, Independent Republican Clubs, Lincoln Republican Clubs and all other organizations that stand for justice, and strike the first blow, that you may enjoy all the rights of a citizen in this city. San Francisco, April 22. Comptroller William Prendergast of New York is the first of the national leaders of the defunct Progressive party who are coming to California, to fight against the re-election of Governor Johnson and for the return of state and national affairs to the custody of the Republican party. Comptroller Prendergast nominated Theodore Roosevelt in the Republican national convention in 1912. Subsequently newent with Roosevelt into the national Progressive party and was recognized as one of the principal individual factors in that party. He was quickly disillusioned. He came to realize that the Progressive party, built on personal ambition and animated by a spirit of destruction, could not and should not endure. Now he comes to California under the auspices of the national and State Republican committees, to tell why he returned to the Republican party and why the Progressive party has no rightful place in American government. Mr. Prendergast will speak at Scottish Rite Auditorium in San Francisco on Tuesday, May 5, and in Los Angeles probably on Thursday, May 7. Mr. Prendergast's visit to California is considered of the highest significance by both Republicans and Progressives, and his meetings will be attended by scores of prominent Republican men and women from all the principal interior points. \* \* \* 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 batles 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 per acre. I have many good buys in houses and lots near in—small cash payments. MILTON W.

The late report of the grand jury, based upon the finding o! the experts appointed by that body to examine the books o} this office, was as follows “We find the books of the Re. corder’s office well and neatly | John H. Ferry kept, and also receipts accounted for. This office is né@tonducted at a profit to the county of about $14,000.00 per year.” I shall seek renomination at the primaries next August on the record I have established for this office atong the lines of courtesy, economy and efficiency, and I fee! that my administration justifies me in respectfully asking your endorsement for another term. I shall esteem it a great favor if you will make my candidacy fa- vorably known to your friends. Yours very truly, JOHN H. FERRY, County Recorder. San Diego, Cal Our interview with Mr, J. H. Ferry was most satisfactory. We found him to be a big-minded person who is eager to promote any cause that is for all the peo- ple. We heartily endorse the re- election of John H.

As officer of the present position which he now occupies he has won not only the respect but the admiration of those with whom he comes in contact daily.

MOULTON | OF SAN DIEGO, CAL. ae Los Axcmigs, Cal, / April 17, 1914 | One of the best men in public life in this State is the Honorable Montgomery 4. Moulton of the city of San Diego. | 4 : Ce | : lag @ | 8 p28 | | ae y ed Pe Me ks oo | oe OF M. M. MOULTON Candidate for Renomination as 2, COUNTY ASSESSOR I know that these are politica times and that the good and bad of all men, asking the favorable consideration of voters are being) reflected upon the public canvae When in San Diego stop at THE LOUIS HOTEL where you enjoy modern con- veniences, courteous treat- ment at reasonable rates, THE LOUIS is located in the central part of the city, which makes it doubly convenient. The rooms are large, airy and well kept. Mr. and Mrs, Weniker are eolicitous of the colored pat- ronage and extend to it a hearty welcome at their hotel. Now, if you would make your stay exceedingly pleasant, Stop at THE LOUIS while in San Diego I am not a politician, and as ong as I can industriously engage myself I know that my hog and hominy is sure ; hence, 1 do not hesitate to say a word of commen- dation for my friends. I reca that during the war with Spain Montgomery M. Moulton was on duty on the field with the rest of us, and that asa 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 Vet- erane of the State of California, and in all matters involving the colored man he registered himeelf on our side, and his influence bad much to do with regulating the mistakes of other white men, The man will go out of chis way to do the colored poople -a service among his own folke, when he has no ax to grind, but serves them because his sense of right and jus- tice to his fellows—without regard to color=-is certainly deserved o our confidence, and even more He deserves our strongest and most earnest support in public aifaire. _ In Mr. Moulton I always know have a “friend at court”—one wb can be depended on to stand by the fight with the same fearless- ness that he has stood by the coun- try when he'was enlistea to fight its battles. He is generous, loyal and true to all Veterans, and I have known him to do special fav- ors for Colored Veterans, The people of San Diego will never regret having placed their confidence of Monjgomory M.

A good many persons, however, manage to patronize the dining car. While only a few years ago this was a decided novelty and reserved for the fastest and most exclusive of trains, today it is a pretty poor sort of Cannon Ball in the United States which cannot carry its own itinery cafe somewhere amidships. In other days eating on a railroad journey was not an itinerant affair. No one had dreamed of dining cars, although an early form of Pullman was what was then known as a "hotel car," a sort of buffet sleeper with a full-sized kitchen. These cars, for their day were very expensive and hence not very popular. The vogue of the station restaurants had not ceased. Most of them were very bad, to be sure, but men could smack their lips when they thought of chicken and waffles at Hornellsville, or the glories of the station hotels at Springfield and Alcoona and Cumberland. These last two still stand redolent in a sort of mouldy magnificence of the days that were. But the average station restaurant in America today is not beyond cavil. Today the dining car has come CANNOT BE IMPROVED into its own. According to the most recent figures of the Interstate Commerce Commission, there are 1183 of these in service on rail roads of the United States and, inasmuch as it takes an average of fifty meals a day to keep a car in profitabl- service, it is safe to say that from fifty to sixty thousand meals a day are served in the dining cars of our railroads; a total considerably increased when we take into consideration the dining-car service of the large Canadian roads to the north. One big eastern road—the New York Central—reports that it has 107 cars in service on its lines. In these some 7,000 meals are served daily, and the average check is 83 cents. The Pennsylvania has 65 cars in service and they serve some 3,800 meals each day. The service of most of the large systems of the country is, in a general sense, in mileage proportion to these two Eastern roads. To see a dining car in actual operation, however, suppose we take a ride in it. The ride will have to be in theory, for the kitchen, in which four very strong and very Negro cooks work. is but 4x14 feet, and after it gets well under way there is but little real room for visitors. In that kitchen from 80 to 100 dinners will be served between New York and Syracuse, and if one diuer is wrong there is sure to be a passenger writing to somebody and threatening the next time to go by the other road. The train is the most famous of all American trains, as well as the most profitable — the Twentieth Century Limited—and its patronage is fastidious, to put it lightly. This day it is running in two sections, each of which is equipped in exactly the same fashion. Both leave the one terminal and arrive at the other simultaneously. Time was when the Century ran in two sections and the directors lay awake and fretted all night. Now it occasionally runs in four sections—for remember that it is immensely popular as well as profitable. : Such occasions mean that the dining-car superintendent of the New York Central must have four of his all-steel diners ready and equipped for the west bound journey. On each of these four cars not only the variety and the prices will be alike—the service, the portions, every one of the details will be unvarying. That is part of the trick of making the service profitable. It is efficiently worked out in a traveling hotel. London, Nov. 15.—The Camberwell Board of Guardians, after advertising for a district medical officer, received only two applications. One of the applicants, an Englishman, appeared before the board and a member suggested that the other candidate be not called. Another member exclaimed: "Because he happens to be a Negro, I move he be invited to attend. The first member admitted that the colored doctor's professional qualifications were higher than those of the white man, but he contended that patients among the poor would refuse to be attended by a colored doctor. The English doctor was appointed. Prejudice. Easy to create, it is hard to destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of wisdom. Its perceptions are false. It sees in darkness—it is blind in the light. It nurtures lies and rejects truths. Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy, it rules those who give it life. It is a conjured Frankenstein, dominating millions of men. It sits beside the gates of life and takes toll of all that pass It is the conservator of all that reason would destroy, the destroyer of the works of justice. It is the handmaiden of error, the Nemesis of knowledge. It feeds fear and poisons hope. It lives by the law of the dead. It thrives upon the meat of yesterday. It sickens on the sustenance of today. It is the anarchist of the heart. It smothers faith. It gives love to the torch. It bemeans benevolence and shuns communion. It stills the sound of music and palsies the hand of art. TO VICTORY Write Boothe Booster, for Norton, Obstructionist.-Auto Demand for Supervisor, 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 Supervisoral District against Supervisor R. H. Norton Earlite obstructionist. Boothe has the enthusiastic support 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 Rebater Earl' personally-conductedol tool on th Board of Supervisors is another good reason why Boothe was selected Our press gang has roses sometimes in their path, but always have thorns.

U. to Meet March 28th McKINLEY PARK CHAU TAUQUA 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 D-s. 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$^{o}$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 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 nia to participate at this great so older people of Norther.

Easy Terms. 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. 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.
