Watch The Eagle Fly Announcing The March Of Progress THE CALIFORNIA MUTILATED PAGE Volume 27 Watch T watch our Next Is DOWN IN TEXAS By Prof. Charles Alexander 1584 W. 37th St., Los Angeles CHAPTER III Austin, Texas, is the capital of the state. It is an attractive city. Its streets are wide, well shaded and clean. The capitol building is a fine structure—the largest state capitol in the United States, erected at a cost of $3,500,000. Capitol Square, covering fully ten acres of land, is slightly elevated above the business section of the city and overlooks a large part of the residential portion. If old man Stephen Austin, the pioneer and politician, who founded the state of Texas and in whose honor Austin was named, should return to the place at this time he would be greatly surprised and gratified. My first impression of Austion was quite favorable. At the very start I met with a fine group of intelligent colored people. I asked one old lady who came up from slavery if colored people were admitted into the moving picture show on the main street of the city, and she answered: "No, sir, dey is not. It is impossible to git dese white folks to treat us cullord people lac dey ought." And it was soon after this that I picked up a copy of the "Harpoon," a weekly journal published by a Negro-hating white man, which gave me some idea of the sentiment prevailing among a certain class concerning the colored people. It appears to be the chief object of this white editor to brutalize and degrade as much as possible the entire Negro race. But let it be said to the honor and credit of hundreds of white people in Austin that this editor's sentiments are not shared by them and they do not approve of his brutal methods in dealing with the Negro question. The more prosperous and intelligent white people realize that every consideration of public morals, every incentive of common honesty, and every motive of decent humanity demand that the Negro be given a fair and square deal, for upon this depends the ultimate peace and prosperity of all. The bigotry of the editor of the "Harpoon" tells tremendously against the best interest of the entire community in creating dissatisfaction in the ranks of all classes. In the copy of his paper which fell under my notice, this editor says: "The average Negro had rather be a slave to the white man than a prince in Africa." And again: "That there is more difference between a white man and a black man than there is between a thoroughbred horse and a full blood jackass." And concluding the question of equality he said: "Despite all efforts at forced education and the encouragement given the Negro by certain white self-appointed wet nurses, the world will never last long enough to see a full blood African the mental peer of the white man." This editor is not only coarse and vulgar, but he is profane. Because the Negro shows unrest and impatience, and world-hurt over the oppression, discrimination and ostracism with which he comes in daily contact, this editor says that the "Negro's dissatisfied, disgruntled, and eternally lbellyaching to be something else than an Negro." And he falsely claims that the chief ambition of the younger generation of Negro men is to seek association and companionship of white girls. Here is the excerpt: "Especially does such ambition appeal to that great horde of young Negroes, who have rushed into the towns and cities, received a thin educational veneer, and fancy themselves the mental and social lpeer of the white man. They toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory never sported such gorgeous socks or wore such polished shoes as those degenerate and conceited descendants of an honest, hardworking black yemanmy. They haunt the chowded corners, wink at the swarms of shameless black bawds who crowd decent white women into the gutters, gaze with lascivious eyes upon the pure, sweet daughter sof the white man, and enter tain thoughts which, if expressed, would rid the earth of their useless presence and send them to hell in a hurry." These indecent and vile falsehoods are calculated to cause many self-repecting Negroe men to leave the state. This writer has published other statements equally misleading, but to ridiculously false and obscene to repeat in this journal. Where sentiments of the above character are being constantly set forth to the detriment and injury of the Negro, can there be any wonder that he becomes restless and sometimes discouraged? The leaders of the race show remarkable heroism in maintaining silence and circumspection in dealing with "the problem." It's by the tone of the voice, the inflection, the variation or change which words undergo to mark case, gender, number, comparison, tense, person, mood, etc., that the treu meaning is conveyed to th esense, even more than by the mere language itself. Tone is a sort of universal language in itself, for by the modulation of the voice it matters not as to the tongue, we get the true meaning. If the tone is harsh, cruel, abusive, gruff, or threatening it is translated and produces feelings of fear, dread, antagonism, ennity and revulsion. If the tone is soft, gentle, tender, it at once invites and secured friendly response and wins confidence, and confidence is the basis of all helpful co-operation among men. The Negro knows his friends in Texas just as he knows them in other places; he knows them by the tone of the voice, by the eye glances, by the generous attitude of mind which the good an dnoble exhibit toward each other everywhere. Despite all that is said to the contrary, the Negro is filling a useful place in the citizenship of this republic; and the white agitator must learn that such charming elements of character and personality as those possessed by the Negro will win the victory in the end. The Negro's sunny and simple heart, his extraordinary powers of imitation, his easy and ready adaptability to environment and his remarkable courage are Los Angeles, Cal., MAY 23, 1914 characteristics much needed in American civilization. While there are some lazy, shiftless, degraded and ignorant Negroes, as there are lazy, shiftless, degraded and ignorant men in every race variety, it is clear to every sane man who keeps his eyes open, that there are thousands of bright, clean, intelligent, refined, self-respecting, self supporting Negroes in every part of the United States. Many of these people are mainaining a high standard of social and religious life commendable to any race. The character is marked by integrity, and it is the integrity of the Negro that tells for his character. The integrity of American institutions, the welfare of political life, the trampled rights of a wronged people cry for justice in Texas. I have seen it clearly demonstrated that to rob a people of political power subjects them to social subordination, industrial serifdom, and economic slavery. There is no denying the fact that conditions in nearly all the Southern states, so far as the Negro is concerned, are a disgrace to the entire country. (Continued.)

Those same citizens are responsible for some of you holding the positions that you do, by voting for you. These conditions have been called to your attention; you have so far failed to heed a call for relief.

McDowell, for twenty years a resident of Los Angeles and having an irreproachable record as an attorney and counsellor-at-law, announces his candidacy for the office of judge of the superior court. Mr. McDowell stands for the three greatest interests in life—the home, the mother and the child. All through his business career, which began when he was eleven years old and served three sessions as page of the Illinois State Senate, Mr. McDowell has been an ardent advocate of every man and woman owning a home, believing that it is a fundamental principle of good citizenship to be a landholder. As president of the State Humane Society for Children and director and president of the Los Angeles Humane Society for Children, Mr. McDowell has ameliorated the conditions of countless children of all races. A little, helpless child makes a powerful appeal to the sympathies of Mr. McDowell and he sets in motion all the machinery of the state and local organizations as well as leg- PAGE al measures to protect a dependent child. Mc. McDowell has the honor of being the first man in California to advocate the Mother's Pension bill. At a meeting of the State convention of the Humane Society for Children at Santa Barbara in 1911, Mr. McDowell electrified the great audience by appealing to the organizations to present the Mother's Pension bill at the next legislative assembly at Sacramento. The plea met with the Elmer R.

ACE AND WAKE UP. warmest endorsement of the convention and many a mother in the state of California has received substantial assistance from the state because Mr. McDowell led out in a great movement that has sinvce then been adopted in one form or another by twenty-one states. Mr. McDowell was born July 26, 1869, in Freeport, Illinois, and is the son of Elmer Root McDowell, a veteran of the Civil War and Carolina Baker McDowell. Facing the problem of earning his living, Mr. McDowell became a page in the State Senate of Illinois when he was eleven and later was the messenger of P. D. Armour, who treated the lad who so faithfully performed his duties, with marked kindness. The home instinct was strengthened when he entered the office of a big land syndicate in Chicago and saw men and women leaving the crowded cities to go west and own a home. He studied and practiced dentistry but finally entered government service and through civil service was promoted to United States custom clerk and store keeper of the United States Appraisers Warehouse in Chicago. Mr. McDowell came to Los Angeles twenty years ago and after CANNO CANNOT BE IMPROVED EAGLE NEGRO DEMANDS EQUAL SUFFRAGE closing out his mining interests in Arizona he returned to this city. Mr. McDowell's unfailing courtesy and polished manners are the heritage of birth, but he owes a liberal education to his unremitting study in the district, public and night schools, supplemented by special courses in the colleges and universities. In 1800 he graduated from the law college of the University of Southern California and opened a law office in partnership with Charles E. Haas, who later became deputy city attorney. He has also been associated with Deputy District Attorney Arthur L. Veitch, Kemper B. Campbell, William Hazlett and E. Earl Crandall. After a post graduate course in the university, he received the degree of Master of Laws and later succeeded Judge Craig as presiding judge of the trial courts of the University of Southern California. Mr. McDowell has offices in the Van Nuys building and is a well known club man, being a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Sierra Madre and Union League clubs and belongs to the orders of the Masons, Elks, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows. BIG QUESTIONS TO BE VOTED ON THIS FALL 37 Issues to Be on November Ballot—Suffrage Qualifications Involved By Attorney Ain McDowell Possibly the most important state election held in California since the state's admission to the Union in 1850, will be held on November 3rd, when, at the general election, the California voters will struggle with great civic questions and select their choice of candidates for the various offices ti be filled by ballot. On the extraordinary ballot to be used there will be thirty-seven big issues, including twenty-two constitutional amendments, six initiative petitions, four referendum petitions, four bond issues, and the proposition calling for a constitutional convention. In addition to these thirty-seven issues, various interests are working daily to secure sufficient numbers of signatures to place on the ballot the initiative petition for a state building in Los Angeles, and the proposed constitutional amendment allowing the consolidation of city and county governments. as follows: State wide prohibition; the Torrens land law; bonded debt regulation; and universal eight-hour labor law; and to abolish state poll tax. The eight-hour day proposition would require that no man or woman, in any employment, should be required to work longer than eight hours of any twenty-four hours. The four referendum issues are: the red-light abatement act; the water-commission act; the nonsale of game act; and the blue-sky law. This blue-sky law, which regulates corporations, was passed by the last legislature, in 1913, after much protest throughout the state. The four bond issues are: for building at San Francisco; three one million dollars for a state million dollars for more state Number 14 buildings at Sacramento; seven hundred fifty thousand dollars for improvement of state fair grounds at Sacramento; and ten million dollars for a sea wall at San Francisco, making a total of fourteen million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars of special indebtedness which some of the people wish the state to assume. Some of the other issues are: to exempt certain properties of educational institutions from taxation; to allow Alameda county to issue one million dollars in bonds, the money to be given to the Panama-Pacific Exposition; a preferential system of election; the sale of irrigation district bonds the permitting the State Railroda Commission to control rate-making, excepting that police and sanitary regulations shall be made by local authorities, and the excess condemnation proposition by which a city, after taking land for street opening, could sell excess land after the street is opened. The city of Los Angeles, having had much difficulty in disposing of its municipal bonds, is particularly interested in the proposition to allow municipal bonds to be paid in any city of the United States, as well as in any of the commercial centers of the world. The Negroes, Japanese, Chinese, Hindus and other colored peoples will, doubtless, be most interested in the proposed calling of a constitutional convention to draft a new constitution for the state; for the country has not recovered from the effects of redrafted constitutions of such states as Mississippi. Tennessee and others where in the early nineties the state constitutions were changed in such ways as practically to disfranchise undesirable voters. In this proposed redrafting of the California constitution, one of the principal motives is to change the present qualifications for voters and to make property-owning a requisite for eligibility to vote. Several other very important measures are desired to be inserted in the proposed new constitution. Many of the more conservative voters oppose this proposed change of the constitution because of a fear that undesirable efatures may eb added. NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH 1623 Paloma Ave. Rev. C. H. Anderson, D.D., Pastor Last Sunday the services at New Hope was inspiring and wholesome. The Spirit was in our midst. Dr. Anderson preached a most powerful sermon and much good was done. He was hidden behind the sacred desk and he preached nothing else save Jesus and him crucified. Dr. Anderson took for his morning subject, "And straightway he came up out of the water." Matthew 3-16. In the evening his subject was "Jesus tempted of the devil." Matthew 4-1 The Doctor said to follow him aright is eternal life and must put him on by baptism. The Missionary Society of New Hope had a home rally for the benefit of the Old Folks Home, which was a success financially. The services both morning and evening were well attended. Next Sunday, May 24th. Dr. Anderson expects to preach a strong sermon on baptism, after which he will baptize all members and friends are requested to be present. B. F. ANDERSON PLAY BALL. The Y. M. C. A. baseball team came over from Los Angeles Saturday and played the Pasadena team and was beaten by a score of 14 to 10. The coach for the U. S. A., Prof. T. A. Green, and the mighty Drew, could not pull the team through. Pasadena 14, Los Angeles 10. Rawles' great pitching was too much for the Y. M. C. A. team. Mr. Irving Hall was quietly married Monday evening at the A.M. E. Church by Rev. Dyatt. The bride came from Denver, Cal., a few days ago. Only a few friends were present. Mrs. Frank Harper has gone to San Francisco for a few days. Why We Build Navies and Preach Peace. Navies and great armies exist because the demand for peaceful adjustment of differences between national issues does not reach a stage where immediate national self interest is ready to yield to the higher demand for absolute justice Aguinaldo might do Mexico a good turn by flashing a message telling what kind of soldiers the 9th and 19th Cavalry are. Dewey is in Washington and Colonel Roosevel is at home again, and he will make some of them rememember April 24, 1846, just 68 years ago. Five American wars began in April: April 19, 1775, Battle of Lexington, Concord. " 21, 1831, Black Hawk Indian War began. " 24, 1846, war declared against Mexico. " 19, 1861, Sixth Massachusetts mobbed in Baltimore. " 20, 1898, first shot fired in Spanish-American War. " 21, 1898, war declared against Spain. Fort Sumter, was fired on in April, 1861. The first battle of the Civil War began April 12. Gen. Lee surrendered in April. Race Haters Who Are Born of Ignorance. When two or more races live together and are acquainted with each other they get along well. But if they do not know each other they are ready to lynch one another on the slightest provocation. Mr. Algere says the Mexican does not like the American with whom he is not acquainted, but likes the one he knows, and many Americans are just like the Mexicans in this particular. In this country some like you if they know you; but, if they do not know you you are not safe. That is, the race hater who is ignorant.

HOTEL LOUIS ROOMS Louis Café & Coffee McAdoo will have to leave the Cabinet, a time-honored custom decreeing that no member of the President's domestic circle shall be a member of his official family also. So, a place will have to be made for him somewhere else outside the Cabinet. To keep the family in the Cabinet would make t sk of reforming anything a hopeless one. This should not apply to the President only, but to many of our business places. Where the whole family are used to eating at restaurants, they often find them so flippy that the food does not eat well. Justt so look me of the restaurant windows, the walls and screens—also at the jackets worn by some of the waiters. Yet they say you have no race pride when you do not deal with them. Clean your windows, scrub your floors once a week, if not oftener. Take out that broken glass and take that paper off. Paint and paper inside. Clean up!

They say that the entire party were agreeably surprised as they inspected the institutioni and that the educational possibilities it presents to the colored race, teaching self-dependence are remarkable. A meeting was held at the chapel. Southern songs were sung by the student body of 1700 pupils. The A. Malaika Temple of Los Angeles Shriners say, "Booker T. Washington School is like the mansion above; you can't tell anything about it until you go there." This is only a return visit to Prof. Washington, as he was out here in March. We only wish we had a Booker T. Washington in every state in the Union. It would not then be long before all gates would open to our race in every sectionf Prof. Booker T. Washington, A.M., L.L. D., the greatest living Nerro of the age. Sister Dollie Lewis' Farewell SERMON AT SCOTT CHAPEL, M. E. CHURCH. Sunday at 11 a. m. she took for her subject, "Keep Your Word." She spoke from the Book of Joshua—1-3. She told of the two spies sent out from Shittim secretly to view the land, even Jericho, and how Rahab received and concealed them. It was a great sermon, and at its close she sang her favorite religion. You cannot live without Christ." Then the choir responded with song, "He will take care of you." There always comes a time in life when preachers make an appeal for their own church, and she did on Sunday when she asked all members to stand with Scott Chapel. She is a member. She will leave for her old home in Kentucky on June 2. Her sister, Mrs. Litton, and Mr. Lewis, her husband, will accompany her on the trip. Mrs. Litton will stop at Indianapolis, Ind. Mrs. Lewis expects to be gone one year; but as she has a home in Pasadena she will return and we shall welcome her back. When in San Diego stopKat THE LOUIS HOTEL where you enjoy modern conveniences, courteous treatment 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 solicitous of the colored patronage and extend to it a hearty welcome at their hotel. Now, if you would make your stay exceedingly pleasant, Scott Chapel is said to have one of the best choirs in the city and they are to have a grand sacred concert the second evening in each month. Mrs. Ernestine Moorbeavers, the new musical director, is leaving no stone unturned, and Miss Gladys Reo Harris, organist, is said by many to be one of the best organists in the city. She graduated in Class 1913 from our High School and is now taking a post graduate course. At present she is a member of the High School orchestra. She is the only colored member of the orchestra and will enter the University of Southern California this fall. The Alumni Association of Southern California awarded her the scholarship. Miss Harris is a very brilliant young lady. It was through her influence that we secured Dr. B. T. Washington; she also secured the High School Auditorium for his address, after Dr. J. W. Baer had refused two preachers, a woman's club and one young man. She was successful. The sacred concert at the First Congregational Church in this city was a grand success. It was given by the First A. M. E. Church of this city and were guests of its members. Fifty-three members of the choir came over Sunday afternoon and were led by Prof. Bynum, and Prof. Elmer Barrett, who presided at the organ, got out all the music there was in it. Miss Anne Stole carried the vast audience by storm and a sweeter voice never charmed a Pasadena audience. Mr. E. Hall has richly earned the fame of being the greatest singer on the Coast, and has a voice of great range and remarkable depth and purity. Mr. Wm. Prince made one of the most eloquent appeals for aid. The congregation responded by giving $107. Come again, Professor. Silver anniversary of the Epworth League at Scott chapel Sunday evening by the local Leaguers. A fine program was rendered and papers were read by S. B. Danely, Jr. Miss Venobi Duncan, Mrs. D. J.

Hughes of Cincinnati, O. conducted the funeral services last Sunday. His subject for the morning was, "The Unclean Spirit, and Its Dangers," was taken from the 5th chapter of t. Luke. The evening services were exceedingly interesting. He spoke from Job 3:13, bringing out the point of God's promises on conditions of obedience." Rev. Hughes' subject for Sunday, May 24, will be "Power of Truth." RIVERSIDE. To the Editor of the CALIFORNIA EAGLE. We thought it not robbery to say a word about the great paper and the staff of workers. We welcome the editor and any of her representatives. We can say of a truth that the Lord is indeed blessing our labor with the Second Baptist Church in this city. The members are hard at work, headed with a strong Deacon Board. The $500 dollar rally will ce pulled cff at the Second Baptist Church, the 24th. Come and put your name on the silver list that day. Pastor Hardeman and wife spent a few days in Redlands last week, and were the guests of Brother John Beckham and wife. We were with the Second Baptist Church two nights.

Miss Hazel Sercy spent the week-end in Los Angeles, the guest of Miss Irene Givens. Miss Vivian Davis, accompanied by Mr. H. Thompson, visited Santa Monica Sunday, the 10th. Mr. Walter McNeal of Sevent street, Santa Monica, is among the sick this week. Mr. Dan Sheffield is recovering from the operation performed a few weeks ago. He is able to take a bit of exercise. Mr. E. Reese has purchased a new 1914 model Henderson motorcycle. It is his intention to motor throughout Southern California. Misses Helen Poe and Bedney are on the beach for the summer. They have engaged an apartment with Mrs. Kelsay on Fifth street. It is reported that the La Bonita, Sant: Monica, is already caring for a capacity house. This gratifying condition is possibly due to the business capacity of the proprietors. A large party enjoyed Sunday in the Santa Monica canyons and remained therein until darkness and fear drove them to their respective homes. Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Lacy were visitors to the beach on Sunday, the 10th inst. Mr. Lacy is corresponding secretary of the B. P. P. U. Federation and in his official capacity he visited the B. Y. P. U. of the First Baptist Church of Venice. A delightful evening was spent a week ago Sunday at the Wright home in Santa Monica. Miss Genevieve Anderson was hostess and served a five course luncheon. Those present were Mrs. Ada Silver and Miss Alice Boyce of Pasadena, Misses Hazel Sercy and Mayme Carter, the fortunate young men being Messrs. Tabor and C. Brooks. On Mothers' Day the beach churches joined hands with the Philis Wheaty Club at Philip's Chapel and celebrated one of the greatest days of the year.

AGE CANNOT BE IMPROVED "SUCCESS," PAPER · READ BEFORE B. Y. P. U. Success is an ideal state; it is nothing more than perfection and therefore we can never be entirely successful. All that we can hope to obtain is a partial success, and for that reason so long as man strives with all his strength after perfection, he can never be a total failure, how ever far he may fall from his ideal. Success as we understand the term is the measure of our personal power. Money is very often the great standard by which the world measures your success. We ourselves measure it by our own sense of accomplishment. We make a success of whatever we do with all our might and to the best of our ability. Judged by ordinary standards it may be a failure, but if we know that it is the best work of our brain, it is a success. Equally what will satisfy the world may really be a failure in the sight of God. To be an all around success one must recognize everything that enters into life, hence we must be able to look beneath prejudices, beyond partisanship and selfishness. Unless we make of our life all that we are capable of making it we are failures. Each of our lives has an individual existence for which we alone can render account. But do not be afraid of failure. Nothing was ever accomplished which was not begun. Nobody is without some fault and it is not conceivable that the first man who offers advice is a better judge than ourselves of what we ought to do. I believe that if we believe in our own judgment, if we are satisfied we are making progress, and if we have confidence in our own powers we are in a degree successful. Most people considered as a mass are like sheep. They run hither and thither bleating advice, uncertain what to do, and distrustful of anyone who wants to do anything out of the ordinary. When we are criticized there is a probability that we are on the road to success. Weigh criticism carefully and listen to advice. We are succeeding all the time we are striving after something better in that our life is being influenced by better things, and the moment we weaken we are failures in every sence of the word. Always we must advance, looking forward and fighting onward, for progress is success. Are we as a majority succeeding? or are we hesitating because we are listening to the whispers of someone who lacks brains as well as courage? One day we will have no option of choice. We will be called into the unknown and if we are cowardly in this life we will go into the next with terror. The future cannot frighten the man with courage and the love of God in his heart. He goes out of this world with the consciousness of work well done, passes into the land where the final success awaits him. NUMBER OF COLORED PEOPLE EMPLOYED BY THE UNITED STATES By Burton K. Standish Washington, D. C., April 24—The race problem, even in these days of the vexing Mexican question and the free tolls muddle, is one that is taking its fair share of capital "spot light." The appointment by President Wilson of Robert H. Terrell, a negro, to Judge of the District Municipal Court, which southern senators are opposing, served to accentuate the stir in Congress over the bill introduced in the House by Representative Aswell of Louisiana providing for the segregation of VICTORY FOR RAILROAD TRAINMEN Indianapolis, Ind., April 17.—Railroad trainmen won a victory in the courts here in the test case Commissioners against: the railroad company for violation of the state law governing a full crew upon passenger trains.

We have ho ammunition to waste fighting some notoriety seeking Negro, We prefer to use such as we have for the common enemies of race progress. BE SURE TO REGISTER Every colored man and woman of voting age should not fail to register so that they may do their part in selecting the men to fill thé offices of the state and county at the coming primaries and fall election. This is an important crisis in the affairs of the state and county and it is up to our people who are as a balance wheel in every crucial test, to use their power and to use it in a way that men will be placed in control of affairs that will consider it their duty to safeguard the rights of all the people and not as the present city officials, turn a deaf ear tc the fact that 30,000 of our citizens are deprived of their civil rights. THE IMPORTANCE OF NE. IN THE COMING / ELECTION The campaign is ripening. The old Republican party is adding zest to its forces, and all things point towards a most enthusiastic political campaign. The question as to whether the Negro should take an active part in the election has been asked. Speaking with the voice of an Eagle we say yes, the only medium through which we can rise to eminence as a peo- ple is by availing ourselves of all the rights and privileges within our reach or grasp. Let the Negro citizen see to it that he is enlightened along all lines that affect his interest as a citizen. _ "Yea, neither Republican nor Democratic party has given us what we feel that we justly de- serve as citizens of the United States, who are ever ready to shoulder any responsibility for the protection, defence, and pro- Hide recognition; consideration or whatever we have received has come through the old party. O. F, SCHERER NEXT SUPERVISOR Mr. O. F, Scherer, one of the leading republicans of Los, An- geles county has consented to be- come a candidate for supervisor from the third supervisoral dis- trict. Mr. Scherer has a host of friends who will rally to his sup- port. His record as a_ business man in the ‘community is such that the buéiness of the county will be in thoroughly capable hands.

Ford has announced his candidacy for the office of dis. trict attorney for Los Angeles county, at the coming primaries August 23th. Mr. Ford has en- tered the field at the solicitation of thousands of the best known people of the county. “He is 2 man pre-eminently fitted for that most important office, not only by reason of some eight years’ ex- perience therein, but owing to his peculiar qualifications as a prose- cutor—his temperament, sense oi justice an dright, and his thorough knowledge of the law, all combin- ing to make him a most satisfac- tory officer. His large acquain- tance throughout the county, to gether with his qualifications for the office he now seeks, give as surance of his election at the pri maries on August 25th. He is without doubt the most popular as well as by far the best fitted of any candidate for the office now Delore the people. The funeral of Mrs. E. P. An- thony of 1719 East Fifty-first street was held at the First A. M E, church this week. Mrs. An- thony passed away Saturday morning: surrounded by her son and daughter, Mr. Smith, her faithful son-in-law, and other rela- tives.

She was the mother of four children, two of whom survive her and labored as only devoted children could do to maks her last days as comfortable as human endeavor could. She was a member of the Mutual Aid Society and the Mite’ Missionary Society of the East Fifty-third Street Church, both of which pre- sented touching resolutions re- specting her faithful service.

Her program consisted of difficult piano and voice selections as well as humorous and pathetic readings. The affair was given under the direction and management of the Brotherhood of the church. The Pastor's Aid Society, of which Ed Lewis is president, entertained the madam during her stay here. Already the public is clamoring for a return engagement and Mr. Lewis has about concluded the arrangements to have her here the evening of the 19th of June, under the auspices of the Pastor's Aid Society. Those who attended Mr. L. C. Pollard's concert at Bethel Church, on Monday evening last, voted it a grand success. The drama, "A Matrimonial Advertisement," was a scream. The parts taken by Miss Myrtle Bost, Miss Myrtle Johnson and Mr. Ernest Morgan were difficult but well acted. Numbers from the Y. M. C. A. orchestra were furnished through the kindness of the secretary. From all indications the rally to be held at Second Baptist Church Sunday will be a grand success. Miss Addie Berri and her "girls" gave a May-pole entertainment in the basement of the Second Baptist Church Friday evening. The affair furnished much amusement and was a financial success. Fresno smart set are looking forward with pleasure to the coming of Miss L. Goodman of Oakland to our city. Miss Goodman will be the house guest of Miss Ruby Bigby. Many outings and parties are already planned for the guest to be. The Fresno Giants will play the McA-Fees on the local diamond Sunday afternoon at 2:30. A large crowd of fans are expected to be on the field to root for our home boys. Mr. "Bob" Merrill has moved to Modesto, where he has a splendid position. The smart set will miss Bob and his music box. Be sure and watch for the date and speakers at the great Lincoln Republican mass meeting. Speakers from all over the coast.

The month of March saw deposited to his credit $12,000, and every day he makes not less than $140. Dan Tucker is the son of James and Elizabeth Tucker, children of slaves of the Creek Indians freed by the civil war. By virtue of a treaty made between the United States and the Creek Indians at Fort Smith, Ark., in 1866, slaves ormerly belonging to the Creeks and their deceasedants were given an equal share with their former owners in the Government allotment of the old Creek lands in the Indian Territory. And that is how Dan Tucker now owns 160 acres of land lying fifteen miles east of Cushing, Okla., in the heart of the newly developed Cushing oil fields. The land was allotted to him in a supplementary division made by the Government in 1905, and Dan had bee nrolled as an eligible by father.

On the night of May the 11th the robber, James Hogue, boarded the observation car, just as the train was entering the city. He held up the passengers of the observation and parlor car ahead and was going forward; but the dining car crew was warned of his approach, as well as the train crew and two detectives forward.

COLORED WOMEN'S DAY NURSERY The nursery located at 1322 Channing street, Los Angeles, is the only colored nursery conducted by women in the west. Mrs. J. A. Somerville is president. She has two nurses in charge. This nursery is for little colored children whose mothers are forced to work during the day and are cared for at the nursery for ten cents a day. If the mothers are unable to pay no charges are made. When the mother cannot obtain work in the city she may leave her little children at the nursery for an entire month for eight dollars. There is no restriction as to the race of the children cared for. I visited there last week and counted twelve little colored children and one little Spanish baby. These children ranged in ages from one year, I should judge, to about six or seven. When I entered the nursery one bright eyed little fellow ran to me saying, "Papa, Papa." The nurse said, "That is not your papa." By that time I had him in my arms. Everything was in a clean and sanitary condition.

Letters from all over the state are pouring in to the chair- man and secretary of the Chautau- qua committee, which bear en- couraging news, asking for infor- mation concerning the great meet- ing that is to be held beginning June 23rd. : Rev. W. M. Dixon, president of the Sacramento Valley District convention and Rev. G.W. Reed, chairman of the Chautauqua com- mittee, have returned “from the bay district, and they bring en- couraging news from the minis- ters and laymen of that district, as well as from the convention proper. as shown by the following resolutions passed at the session of the Bay District Convention, Friday, April 24th: “Resolved, That the Bay Dis- trict Baptist Convention, now in session at the Richard Clark Mem- rial (North Oakland), extends our sincere thanks and high ap- preciation to the Sacramento Val- ley Baptist Convention for their kind invitation to participate with them in ther young folks summer outng, called Chautauqua, but since it is not convention to hold a session of our convention at the Chautauqua, therefore be it re- solved that we recommend to the people of our churches and ausil- jaries to avail themselves with a few days’ attendance at this amus- ing and educational entertain- ment.” This speaks volumes for ‘the high regard that the ministers and people of the bay cities are hold- ing for the coming Chautauqua. We also received a letter of en- couragement. stating that every- hualy of the bay cities are in har- mony and in accordance with the Chautauqua and will be there. So enthused are the people of the Bay District in the Chautanqua that they are planning to run an excursion for the benefit of the large number that are desirous of attending.
