The Great Campaign for the August Primaries is Now On Watch our Next Issue for Continuation of Article MUTILATED PAGE Volume 27 DOWN IN TEXAS By Prof. Charles Alexander 1584 W.37th St., Los Angeles CHAPTER 1V Said Lord Chesterfield, "Should you be suspected of injustice, malignity, perfidy, lying, etc. all the graces and knowledge of the world will never procure you esteem, friendship and respect." And this is true. During my brief stay in Austin, I was gratified with the report of the reputation of the men with whom I had business dealing. Dr. R. S. Loving-good, the president of Samuel Houston College, is a fine example of the educated Christian leader. He is a man of splendid executive ability. To be able to conduct the affairs of an educational institution successfully, requires business talent of a high order, and it is certainly true that Dr. Loving-good is well equipped to do the work which he has in hand. Not only is Dr. Loving-good a good business man, but he is an honest, genial, magnanimous and hospitable Christian gentleman. I have known Dr. Lovegood for quite a number of years. He is a graduate of Clark University, Atlanta, Georgia, and once published a weekly newspaper in that city. For a season he was a teacher in the public schools of Birmingham, Alabama, and later occupied the chair of Greek and Latin in Wiley University. He is popular in Texas as an orator and educator. He is also an author of good standing. He has been president of Samuel Houston College since 1900. During these years he has had wonderful success. He has done a great deal of constructive work, and on account of his integrity of character he has won the esteem and confidence of the best people in the community. His students are high-minded, ambitious and well disciplined. The student body of Samuel Houston College tendered me a grand reception. The enthusiasm manifested was an inspiration. On the occasion of my appearance before these young men and women everyone was alert to hear every word. I was deeply moved by the intense interest these young people showed in the life and works of Paul Laurence Dumbar, the Negro poet. My very first address in Austin was delivered in the great Baptist Church presided over by Dr. L. L. Campbell. It was on Sunday morning. The Sunday school was in session when I reached the church. This was the largest Sunday School I had seen for many a day. There were boys and girls ranging from 3 to 18 years of age, and all shades of complexion, but all well dressed and orderly. Dr. Campbell is well known throughout the State of Texas as a leader in the Baptist denomination. He exerts tremendous influence over his brethren, and his business ability is recognized by the bankers of Austin. The visit to his nome and the fine school which he has just started a few miles out of the city demonstrated that he is a money-getter and builder. He has fine library and a beautiful only. Sunday evening I was the most of Rev. L. H. Richardson, pastor of Wesley M. E. Church. Dr. Richardson has a large, intelligent congregation. He is doing a noble uplift work among the people. He emphasized the Golden Rule in a way that was quite in keeping with the highest and best interpretation of the spirit of Christ. Dr. Richardson is a most excellent type of the educated Methodist preacher, and he applauded my declaration that it is always best "to grant to others the same rights and privileges that you claim for yourself, irrespective of race, creed, color or sex." The Negro of the lower class in Texas is still clinging tenaciously to the old dialect peculiar to the period before the war. I heard an old man say to one of his brothers of the Lodge: "Mah brudder, ah must tell you dis right now; dat brudder ain't done war is right, and dey ain't no use'n to say he is. While he was de Grand Organizer an' 'nance agent, he tuck de biggost majority of all de money he collected, and now he done put in a bill to de lodge for mo' money. No, sir, dat ain't right, dain't ain't right." But as strange as it may seem, there are thousands of white people who employ the very same dialect. It rather shows that the Negro's influence is widely felt in many directions. So much is this Negro dialect a part of the common speech among both white and black in Texas that one must be careful about telling stories in public addresses, employing this dialect, as the stories will fall that. Keen discrimination must be used in this matter. I was very much amused with a young man during my stay in Austin. He brought a horse and buggy to take me out for a drive. During the trip we encountered some rough places in the road. He said: "Tesser, you mum' cuse me dis mormin', I ain't drivin' ez well ez I mos' in general' always drives." This apology came after the young man had run into several deep ruts in the road and I had remarked about it. Tillotson College is one of the schools conducted by the American Missionary Association. It is the contribution to Negro uplift of a noble Congregational preacher. This school has been a beacon light of the colored people of Texas. Many of the graduates have turned out to be men and women of sterling worth, and both by precept and example have vindicated the generous act of Rev. George Tillotson in planting this institution on the beautiful hill in Austin where it may be seen of men. (To be continued) "A CHRISTIAN LIFE" By Miss Kissie Brown For many years emphasis has been laid upon a direct call to the Christian ministry, and men have not taken up this work save as they felt themselves led of the spirit of God. The most remarkable Christian workers have come to their task of self-sacrifice through Providence, which manifestly selected them for the task which they undertook. There are some men no odubt who have mistaken the voice of Providence, for there are certainly some who show that they were not intended Los Angeles, Cal., MAY 30, 1914 And hence it is well that the annual meeting of the Christian should from time to time examine himself and ask be held on the morning of the 3d what attainments am I making in with a banquet at night.

Justin Carter, Esq., a prom a workman that needeth not to be inent member of the bar at Harris-ashamed, handling aright, the burg, Pa. to be preaching of the gospel They are surprisingly few, how ever. But it is true that God calls men as definitely to be teachers to be Christian workers, to be superintendents in the Sunday School and to take up the various forms of Christian activity. Indeed, sometimes the best way to find God's call to higher services is to listen to His call in the more humble lines of Christian work to which he directs us. As we find, therefore, that our hearts are more and more going out toward Christian service, and we are longing for some distinct and positive work, which we ourselves can do, this is in and of itself a part of God's call. The life of the Christian is a progressive life. It is a race. It is not a life in which men and women stand still; it moves forward. It is not merely an effort to hold our own; it is rather an effort to reach forth with the things that are before. It is not a stationary, fixed condition of attainment, but a growing, developing process of soul. No Christian should ever find his chief satisfaction in looking back to an experience in the past. He may rejoice in the recollection of that happy day in which the burden of his sin was rolled away, but he cannot be satisfied with that as his only experience of God's grace or as his chief experience of grace. He must go on from grace to grace, from glory to glory. And hence it is well that the Christian should from time to time examine himself and ask what attainments am I making in it.

Are its promises more precious to me? Am I conscious that I am becoming more nearly a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the Word of Truth? What joy in prayer, what experience of its power in my own life and in the lives of others do I know? In short, what growth in grace and knowledge of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ am I making? As Christian, we should be glad to serve, and must be ready to serve. Real Christian service must appeal to us. We cannot wish to be idle and useless. There is so much to do in the world, and so much that God can do only thru human instrumentalities, that every truly converted person will long for a chance to serve somewhere, and the normal man and woman will wish for some service which is theirs distinctively, some plainly designated task which God puts upon them. If we will cultivate the spirit of gladness in service, or readiness, we need have no doubt that God somehow will lead us through preparation to the place where he wishes us. MRS. TERRELL AT LINCOLN UNIVERSITY PAGE CANNOT BE IMPROVED acknowledged queen of the Afro-American platform, delivered the annual address last Thursday evening to the literary societies of Lincoln University. Her theme was "Taking Things for Granted," and competent critics and followers of Lincoln for years unite in testifying that it was the finest speech that has been heard in the classic walk of this historic institution since one brick was piled upon another there. It is indeed a high and unusual compliment to a woman to be invited to speak for a college exclusively for men, but all rules and traditions are swept aside when Mrs. Terrell is considered. It is particularly gratifying to her host of admirers everywhere to learn that this distinguished daughter of Eve fully justified the new departure that the school had the courage and good taste to inaugurate. Mrs. Terrell is to make a number of other college addresses during the commencement season now approaching. SECRETARY BRYAN HOW ARD'S COMMENCEMENT The commencement exercises of Howard University will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 3, on the campus of the University. The orator of the day will be the Hon. William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, Secretary of State in the Cabinet of President Wilson.

COLORED MEN IN THE DEPARTMENTS PROMOTED Big positions in the government service may not be flowing into the laps of colored men, but it is certain that they are receiving a goodly number of minor places that go far toward keeping the pot boiling and the harder well filled. The civil service regulations have been very fairly enforced, and when a colored man comes up for appointment or promotion, he is usually given his place in the line. In view of the tremendous pressure for positions, high and low, from the outside, the heads of the various departments deserve more credit than they have been given for the sturdiness with which they have resisted the clamor and clung to the merit system ordained by the law. The corps of colored clerks-messengers, laborers, etc., remains practically as it was when the administration changed, with additions, promotions and separations just about what they would have been there been no change Transfers have usually involved CANNO EAGLE Race Notes and Current Topics Recently John T. Howe of North Carolina was given a substantial promotion in the treasurer's office. Last week Andrew L. Payne and R. W. Thompson of the architect's office were given higher ratings. W. P. Tate, went to the Agricultural Department to a clerkship. James E. Dunn of the same department was given an advance. Harry M. Reynolds of the office of the assistant secretary was handed a promotion not long ago. So was L. J. Porter, now a clerk in the Internal Revenue Bureau. Miss Blanche Wright and E. T. Patten of the office of the auditor for the Navy Department went higher since the new order of things has obtained Maurice S. Koonce has been named by the Attorney-General as the successor to the late Thomas H. Wright in the Department of justice. The place carries a salary of $1600, and is said to have been so desirable that two $1800 men asked for it, despite the fact that it meant a reduction of $200 per annum in cash. These are just a few of the changes involving colored men in the departments that have come under our observation. The list might be extended indefinitely if a complete record could be obtained. All things considered, the colored brother in the government service is faring pretty well—Freeman. BISHOP WALTERS AND EDITOR MANNING TALK WITH MAGNATE Bishop Alexander Walters-president of the National Negro Democratic League, and Mr. A. E. Manning, editor of the Indianapolis World, one of the race's most influential newspapers, spent several days in the city last week on an important mission. They held interviews with a number of the highest dignitaries of the democratic party on matters touching the welfare of the Negro. At the capitol and in the executive departments they are said to have been most cordially received, and the captains in charge of the political affairs of the democracy spoke most encouragingly of the relations of the Negro to their party. It is stated that the impression left with Bishop Walters and Mr. Manning was that something of a definite and gratifying nature would be done shortly to show the sincerity of the promises made the Negro in the recent national campaign. The eminent prelate and the energetic Hoosier statesman are reported to have talked very plainly concerning the attitude of the Negro on the big questions of the hour, and emphasized the importance of clarifying the situation before the coming Congressional and State elections. It was made evident to the magnates that a crucial period in the political life of the race has been reached and the future depended upon the wisdom of the course now taken by those at the helm. The intimation is given out that the confirmation of Judge Terrell for whom the Bishop worked like a Trojan, has shown that the broad-gauged men of the type of Senator John W. Kern of Indiana are in the saddle at the capital. The opinion is freely expressed Now On s and rent Topics that if the President is willing to send in the name of a worthy colored man for a high-class federal appointment, confirmation is sure to follow. The "ice has been broken," they say, and the going from now on should be good. It is an open secret that the influence most potent in "putting" Terrell over" was no less a personage than Senator Kern of Indiana, the democratic leader on the floor and the acknowledged spokesman of the administration. Some thrilling developments may be looked for at an early date, if the matters discussed in these conferences work out as expected. From Freeman. BAPTIST EXECUTIVE BOARD MET WEDNESDAY Los Angeles was the scene of the Baptist divines this week. All points, with one or two exceptions, in Southern California were represented. We shall in our next week's issue publish in full the proceedings of the board, which we have been informed covered quite a range. Full arrangements were made for the meeting of the association, which meets in Riverside in August. Rev. Herben and his congregation acquitted themselves splendidly in entertaining the delegates, and all left saying this was one of the most profitable sessions ever held. A. M. E. CHURCH Four persons came forward and consecrated their lives to God and the church and ten others were received into full membership last Sunday morning. The evening was given over to the young people. After the regular opening services Miss Nellie G. Detwiller took the chair and directed the rendition of the following program: Anthem, by the choir reading, "The Last Hymn," Mrs. G. A. Beavers, Jr.; solo, "If I Were a Voice," Mrs. Simma Tayor; "Self Assertion," Mr. J. L. Josephs; instrumental duct, Misses May and Inez Jones; "College Training as a Solution for the Problems of Life," Prof. H. D. Greer. The large audience evinced its appreciation of the marked ability shown by the participants in the hearty applause given each number. The program was indeed an inspiration. Next Sunday the subject of the morning sermon will be, "The Grateful Samaritan," based upon the Sunday School lesson. The evening address will be "Honoring Our Illustrated eDad." The Wesley Chapel Debating Team was successful in their match debate with Pasadena, the score being Wesley Chapel, composed of Messrs. Becks and McDonald, 179 points; Pasadena, Messrs. Calmore and Gohman, 150. Mr. Becks secured first place, Mr. McDonald second. The Georgia State Society meets at Wesley Chapel next Monday evening. Mrs. A. D. Bowers, who is captain of one of the clubs at Wesley Chapel, presented an excellent program at the church Monday evening. )) ——Puose Ganrreny, 7081 ‘MRS. V. L. North Heuston. ) i | Mrs. H. E.

At the morning hour Rev. G. W. Hill delivered a sermon of power and thought. In the evening Attorney Hugh McBeth of the Tyler & McBeth Law Firm delivered a strong address on the subject. "The Brotherhood of Man." As usual, Attorney McBeth gratified and enlightened his hearers. He made a strong plea for an intellectual and spiritual cleansing of race prejudice from among us and for the realization of the faith that all men are of the one God created equal. Mr. McBeth most pointingly established the fact that the race or individual that entertained ill feeling toward his brother is injured more than the person or race who is the object of his hatred. He put in a strong plea for Christian education. There were three accessions to the Church last Sabbath. The collection was $64.71. Next Sabbath the pastor, Rev. Alfred C. Williams, will speak at both morning and evening worship. Morning from the subject "Did Jesus possess a social mind and, if He did, how social was his mind?" Evening, "Running with the footmen or the Seven Steps Downward." Hear him and be helped; hear the choir and be inspired. Services last Lord's day at E. 8th St. Christian Church were quite impressive and well attended at all the meetings. The Sunday School in numbers and in interest broke all previous records; 86 were present. Also the C. E. was well attended, seemed to come from the heart. The audience received the same with good effect. At the evening service a sacred concert was rendered, which was excellent. The program was arranged and managed by Mrs. C. J.

McDowell, for twenty years a resident of Los Angeles and having an irreproachable record as an attorney and counsellor-at-law, announces his candidacy or 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- Elmer R. McDowell for Judge of the Superior Court. 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 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 since 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.

SQUARE AND COMPASS WELCOME The people of Pasadena and Los Angeles extend to the members of the Grand Lodge of Masons and of the Eastern Star a hospitable wecome to our city. We know that they come here to devise ways and means to make more potent and greater the great principles which they stand for. We feel that in this mission we shall be vastly benefited and we therefore have not one but many reasons to welcome to our cities this grand body of men and women who are on the alert at all times to do deeds for the uplift and progress of a race. We therefore feel that the highest compliment we can pay not only ourselves in general is to say, Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! WILL NOT STAND FOR MIS REPRESENTATION It is not our purpose at any time to oppose individuals within the race, unless their actions and representations are such as to bring ridicule and discredit upon the same. Now, if we are correctly informed, certain representations are being made, politically and otherwise, which, if allowed to go unchallenged, will result in nothing but discredit and ridicule to the race. If these representations are verified, we shall in self-defense be compelled to unmask the party or parties that are parading as the prophets of the black phalanx of this section and tell the public just who they are and what they stand for. No Negro aided and abetted by some pernicious white man can pull off this stunt under the nose of a legitimate press and get away with it. We are giving a fair warning and a hint to the wise should suffice. That bill poster and erst- while candidate for assemblyman, Veachy, had better go slow in their representations or they will get a dose from which they will not soon recover. The old adage, "Give a calf plenty of rope and he will break his own neck." still holds good. G. A. BODEN FOR IUDGE OF SUPERIOR COURT Mr. G. A. Boden of the Los Angeles Bar and a resident of Pasadena, is one of the strong candidates for Judge of the Superior Court. He is a successful barrister and by his experience will without doubt grace the bench of this county with rare dignity and grace. Our people will do well to rally to the standard of Mr. Boden. The leading citizens of his home city are strong in their indorsement of his candidacy, and The Eagle, bowing to the wishes of its clientage and from our own observation of the man, takes great pleasure in presenting his candi- MUTILAT dacy for the consideration of our big family of readers. Look out for our next issue containing article on Mr. Boden's fitness for the position he seeks. O. F. SCHERER NEXT SUPERVISOR Mr. O. F. Scherer, one of the leading republicans of Los Angeles county has consented to become a candidate for supervisor from the third supervisoral district. Mr. Scherer has a host of friends who will rally to his support. His record as a business man in the community is such that the business of the county will be in thoroughly capable hands. The Eagle takes great pleasure in placing his candidacy before our people and asks for him a strong support. Join with us for the nomination and election of O. F. Scherer for supervisor. We hereby announce the candidacy of Edward Judeon Brown for the office of Justice of the Peace for the City of Los Angeles subject to the primaries to be held August 25, 1914. A GREAT MEETING IN STOCKTON The A. M. E. District Conference and Sunday School Convention of the Northern Division of the California Conference which convened at Stockton May 12, 13 and 14 was perhaps one of the most successful and beneficial conventions ever held in this district. The reports of the delegates from the different Sunday Schools were excellent, proving that they are on an upward march both spiritually and financially. The questions and topics discussed at the gathering were instructive and inspiring. Each superintendent and teacher was greatly benefited. Rev. J. H. Harbert, presiding eldtr of the conference, presented useful advice and suggestions which were appreciated by the entire convention. Mrs. Anna Hughes, the District Superintendent, presided over the Sunday School Convention, and her many experiences in that line, as related, will long be remembered. Rev. J. P. Howard, the evangelist of Kansas City, conducted the religious services in the eynings, and his sincere efforts were crowned with religious success, twenty-one souls were converted, among whom was the entire choir of Stockton A. M. E. Church. God bless Rev. Howard, for he brought about through the power of God a revival which Rev. Duncan and other praying members of our church in Stockton had long wished for. The following officers were elected for the coming year: Mrs. Anna Hughes, District Superintendent of the Sunday Schools; Mrs. W. D. Dyer, Assistant Superintendent of Sunday Schools; Mrs. Girtie Hamilton of Stockton, Corresponding Secretary of Sunday Schools, and Mr. D. W. Boyden of Stockton was elected by the District Conference as layman to represent the Northern Division of the District in the coming Annual Conference. The Stockton people proved themselves hospitable in the gracious manner in which they welcomed and entertained the Conference and Convention while assembled with them. TO ATTEND YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONGRESS Mr. Emanuei Hall, Los Angeles' premier tenor singer, has deservedly been chosen as a representative to attend the Young People's Congress to be held in Atlanta July 8. In order to help defray his expenses in attending the same there will be given at the Eighth and Towne St. Church on Tuesday evening, June 16th, a musical concert and turkey dinner all for the nominal sum of 35 cents. All know Mr. Hall's worth to our city, and no hesitancy should be shown toward making this entertainment a magnificent success. Now is the time to set before you a beautiful or a cozy little home as an object, their aim with this goes determination; with this combination you are bound to win. Some eighteen months ago I came to Glendale, and after about two or three weeks here I could see this little town had a wonderful and progressive future, and learning that there was only one of my race owning property here I began to talk business with the real estate dealers here, and learned that all the propesty listed by them was covered by restrictions against colored people. This restriction I did not think seriously of and would soon forget, and at this point I would be found trying again only o meet discouragements. Being determined I continued and at last I have won my reward. In this list you will find some wonderful inducements. These properties I will be glad to show you at any time.

HARRIS Chief Deputy District Attorney Mr. W. J. Ford has announced his candidacy for the office of district attorney for Los Angeles county, at the coming primaries August 25th. Mr. Ford has entered the field at the solicitation of thousands of the best known people of the county. He is a man pre-eminently fitted for that most important office, not only by reason of some eight years' experience therein, but owing to his peculiar qualifications as a prosecutor—his temperament, sense of justice an dright, and his thorough knowledge of the law, all combining to make him a most satisfactory officer. His large acquaintance throughout the county, together with his qualifications for the office he now seeks, give assurance of his election at the primaries 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 before the people. The mediators are in session, but that cuts no figure with President Wilson and his allies, Mr. Carranza and Mr. Villa. Through the three they hope to pacify Mexico. Golden West Lodge, No. 86, I.

PASADENA NOTES By S. B. Carr 9060664404444 04 +-540-5444.' » \Los Angees wins the debate | from Pasadena. Wesley Chapel | Debating Society vs. Y."M. A. of "Pasadena; for the first time Pasa- dena went down to defeat by the "Angel City. The debate was held at Friendship Baptist Church. President Clarence Mills of the Y. M.A. presided in one of the most pleasant conversational style. Mr. Mlils is one of the most successiul presiding officers that the Y. M.A. ever had and has done much to promote its cause. Pasadena is proud of him, and his presiding has only been equalled by Mr. L. V. Stewart, the presi- dent of Wesley Chapel Club. The Young Men’s Alliance was organ- ized by Mrs. G. Weatherton at her beautiful home, 811 South Fair Oak avenue, some years agy and she now looks with pride at the Y.M. A. Club. Mr. McDonald in presenting the ‘question did justice to the sub- ject and caught the judges at the beginning and held them spell- boun dto the end. He covered the field from the sandy desert of Ai- rica to the rice fields of South Car olina, Mr, Calmore, the first speaker for the Y. M. A., showed signs of a trained debater and did well he being a aw student too much was expected of him, While he made an excellent plea for his side he was over shattered by his op- ponents. Next came Mr, L. K Beeks, the most successful speaker of the evening, and soon converted the judges to the faith which he professed; not only the judges but the house was with him. To hear him one would only think of Ros- co Conklin Bruce when he was a student at Harvard in his cele. brated debate against Yale. to see him leave his opponents like Howard Drew, and when he enters Harvard we believe he will be a star in that debating cub. Next speaker was VA. Gorman of the Y. M.A. who did well, as this was his maiden speech as a debate and with good coaching will be- come a great debater sime day, He was the only one of the debaters that had ever been ti Africa, but he never spoke about it at all, as it would have been a point for his opponents. Mr, MeDonald in an eloquent rebuttal to his opponent, was so, strong that Mr. Calmore refused to reply. A word of encouragement to the Y.M.A. Tt was a victory of strug: gle. There is such a thing as a victory of struggle as well as a struggle for victory. There is a stragge that jailing of achieve- ment is a most high and noble form of achievement. He who ac- complished his purpose with ease may have accomplished less than hew ho has striven for that pur- pose and failed. TWO HEARTS THAT BEAT AS ONE Perkins-Small Nuotial Mrs, Addie Walker Perkins be- came the wife of Mr. E, W. Small Monday evening, the 18th, Rev. ,Dyatt performed the ceremony at the A. M: E. Church. Mrs. Per- Kins arrived here Saturday from Denver, Colo., where Mr. Small met her some time ago. He had lived here some years ago but his wife's heath failed here, so. he took her to Colorado, thinking the she might regain it, but she passed “away and he returned to this city. H has oge son attending school in this city. Mr, Small is a mem: ber of the Methodist Church. Mrs. Small was a member of the church that Rev. Dyatt was pastor of in Denver. So she will cast her lot with her husband at the First A. M. E. Church of this city.

R. PORTERS SHOULD BE PENSIONED i AFTER 25 YEARS OF SERVICE. —-— i (From The Chicago Defender). ; ‘Twenty-five years is long enoagh for a railroad man,to be in active service. A man who has given 25 of his best yearsito railroading should be honorably released by the railroads and given a pepsion. No man connected with the railroad or the Pullman Gompany: does more work or serves with greater diligence and zeal than the porter. It has been his courtesy,.tact, kindness and real laborious work that has made traveling a comfort and a pleasure. Railroad compan- ies have grown rich and powerful and the porter has gtuck “right at the helm.” ‘ ‘Night after night traveling such dietances ae from Chicago to New York, Chiongo to California and Texas, without rest and oftimes without good food. Train late and accidents causing delay, he is doubled back without rest—he in 20 years becomés broken down a nervous and physical wreck Over 500 ex-railroad!men are unfit for duty because they have given over 30 years of'theig life to railroad work. 3 THE ENGINEBR’S CASE. An engineer has it far more easy than the porjer. He runs a train a certain distance and will get « four or five daySlay off, He walks to his cab, dons his uniform, and all hg has to do is to man bis engine by the stroke of muscle or a pressiof the fingers his work is done and power does the rest. Then, too, be hae an ae- sistant, the fireman, who is at his left. Engineers by their light physical duty live to a ripe old age, but within a time limit they are pengioned. i At the expiration of 25 years’ duty on the police force, officers are released and pensioned ; surely the railroad parter should be treated likewise. Let the railroad companies be more humane, let the Pull- man Company have some sympathy toward the porter who has helped to make them. R. R. Commissions are wakjng up and look- ing conditions in the face. Out in California a conimission. reports that the Pullman employes are inattentive to its patrons because sal- arles are too smail and porters’ wages are too smalj, The commis- sion seeks to remedy these injustices. } THE RAILWAY MAILS, erate of compensation for c fixed by weighing the mails e weight carried during the pe Jays excluding Sundays. Th Up to 1907, the rate of compensation for carrying the mails on railway lines was fixed by weighing the mails for{l05 daye and di- viding the aggregate weight carried during the perio@ by 90, that be- ing the number of days excluding Sundaye. The dividend thus ob- tained was assumed to be the daily weight for whoje transpostation the railroad was paid for the following four years. As the railroads do carry the mails on Sundayg, from 1907 they have been counted, aud the daily weight ascertained by dividing the aggregate by 105. the total number of days. ~ But the bigger the divisor the smaller the dividend, and the rai roads are not satisfied with the daily weight thug obtained. They have joined in a suit for more pay and have logt in the Court of Claime, Probably the case will go to the Supreme Court. ‘The relations of the Postoflice Department to the railroads has never been satisfactory. Obviously, the true average daily weight is obtained by dividing the aggregate for a period by the total number of days in the period. It was doubtless pull which cagsed it for many years to be fixed by dividing by six-sevenths of th number of days. Tt was algo alleged and believed that Congressmen who had been elected by railroads often helped to p@y their debt ‘by sending great amounts of public documents to their constituents Puring the weigh- ing period. ! On the other band the railroads have unquegtionable reason to complain at being compelled to carry the parcel post traffic without extra compensation, duly ascertained. The have also reason to de- mand weighings at emaller intervale than four years, especially in View of the rapid increase in the Government eae business The railroads should have relief in thac particular and the Gov. ernment should vena the prodigious output cf the Government Post Office by slow freight. It is absurd to pay thd cost, or make the raiiroads pay it, of carrying a set of volumes of the census reports, |for example, with the eame despatch that is given to a letter. t L. A. TOURIST RUSH. TO BREAK RECORD. ieee ' “Los Angeles is on the verge of its greatest period of tourist trav- el and popularity, for a heavy influx of visitors will be felt here this fall. It will grow heavier during the winter, jncrease in volume steadily throughout 1915 with enormous thronge uring the vacation months and will follow with the biggest winter injhistory.” F. E. Batturs, generat passenger agent of {he Southern Pacific who has returned to the city after an extendea trip to eastern cities, recently thus voiced his opinion, : “T have talked with railroad and hotel men fyom all parts of the country lately and my opinion is based upon the concensus of others’ opinions and upon the conditions which affect passenger travel to expositions. To begin with, people are begoming restless and cheered by the excellent crops, the opening of the Panama canal and numerous othee favorable omens, will be ready t travel in search of pleasure. | ‘The canal is in the eye of the world, and sojare the two exposi- tions commemorating it, And California itself will be a magaet for many.

Race representation everywhere, The Afro-American citizens of Chi- cago want a policewom-n or two. Recentiy that department of the city government has appointed women of other nationalities, why not give some women of the race @ chance to show their fitness for this’ important work. For many years this city has had the largest num- ber of Afro-American police-officers of any other city in the country. They are identified with every braneh of the service. They are in the detective bureau and in the rank of plain clothes men and pa- trolmen, One isa lieutenant. He won bis position through fitness, and every other member of the de- partment has demonstrated _ his ability to wear a star. Such being the record, then why not a police- woman. The white women ap- pointed have to be taught the game; why not include an Afro- American or two? If shrewdness, diplomacy and obeying orders form apart of the requiremente, Chief Gleason bas the pick of hundreds of reputable women of color who can and will succ ssfully pass the physical and mental tests that the white woman did. Then why not give them a chance? Mayor Har- rison and the chief Lave evidently forgotten that the elogan of the Afro-American in Chicago is race representation everywhere—Chi- cago Defender.

Rockefeller wakes up during the night now and wants to know whether the negro guards who patrol the house are on duty, he has no longer to leave his bed and look out of the window.

The resulte ‘are registered in Mr, Rockefeller’s room. . Formerly it was his custom to open the window and ask: “Are you there?” of the guards.

MUTILATED PAGE MORE TALK ABOUT THE McKINLEY PARK CHAUTAUQUA That the young people's midsummer gathering (Chautauqua) at McKinley Park in Sacramento will be a success is now undisputable. Letters from all over the state are pouring in to the chairman and secretary of the Chautauqua committee, which bear encouraging news, asking for information concerning the great meeting 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 committee, have returned from the bay district, and they bring encouraging news from the ministers 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 District Baptist Convention, now in session at the Richard Clark Memorial (North Oakland), extends our sincere thanks and high appreciation to the Sacramento Valley Baptist Convention for their kind invitation to participate with them in their young folks summer outing, called Chautauqua* but since it is not convention to hold a session of our convention at the Chautauqua, therefore be it resolved that we recommend to the people of our churches and auxiliaries to avail themselves with a few days' attendance at this amusing and educational entertainment." This speaks volumes for the high regard that the ministers and people of the bay cities are holding for the coming Chautauqua. We also received a letter of encouragement stating that everybody of the bay cities are in harmony and in accordance with the Chautauqua and will be there. So enthused are the people of the Bay District in the Chautauqua that they are planning to run an excursion for the benefit of the large number that are desirous of attending. And further to show what interest is being manifested in the coming of this great gathering we hereby make public a letter from the moderator of the General Association endorsing the Chautauqua movement, which is as follows: San Francisco, Cal., April 23, 1914, the Members of the General Association of California. I have been, as Moderator of A: General Baptist Association, with the Young People's Chau- auqua committee and discussed and advised with them concerning the holding of the McKinley Park Chautauqua on June 23 to July 1st, and I am proud to say that I have plans outlined for the carry- ing out of the project well laid and minus of selfishness, but with a spirit of education, religiously and morally, for the betterment of our people in general, and as Moderator of the Baptist General Association, I heartily approve of the movement and ask every Baptist throughout our associational field, as well as the public at large, to give to the Chautauqua move- ment their support and co-operation. I am yours for the uplift of our race. Rev. J. M. Riddle. Moderator of the General Baptist Association. Our Bro. G. W. Reed, who is the chairman and the man behind the gun, has returned from Hanford and he reports enthusiasm among the people at Hanford, and they as well as the people of the Bay District are preparing to run an excursion from that section of the state that the many who wish to attend the great mid-summer gathering of education and moral uplift may go. Everything is now ready. The price for admission, single ticket 10c, season ticket 50c, sleeping privileges, 25c a night. Meals and refreshments on th egroups. The American river is near by for fishing. The croquet and lawn tennis grounds are in good shape. So keep this in mind, the days and the date. The people of Sacramento are busying themselves for the entertainment of the great host of people who they believe will attend the Chautauqua. The hospitality of Sacramento is well known; therefore, it is not necessary for us to deliberate upon that feature. The railroads have granted the one and one-third fare for the round trip on the certificate plan, beginning three days before the date of the Chautauqua and during two days after the date.

THE GOLDEN WEST HOTEL While the public in general are very partial toward this popular hostelry, it is no wonder that they are when it is taken into consideration the great convenience and high credit that the same has brought to our city. High class in every respect, catering only to the best, they have set a high mark for negro enterprise employing more than a score of members of the race and each one striving to make the service of this famous cafe and hotel the very best. So this is one of the most potent reasons that the Golden West has gained such an enviable reputation. 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. LEWIS Agent Birch Court 949 Birch St. Main 3058 South 7250 HARBOR PROPERTY See H. H.
