The Great Campaign for the August Primaries is Now On Volume 27 DOWN IN TEXAS By Prof. Charl. Alexander 1584 W. 37th St. Los Angeles CHAPTER V. There are many enterprising colored persons in Austin. Among the business establishments I found a flourishing drug store, several well equipped barber shops, a number of dealers in general merchandise and a successful undertaking establishment. What is said here of Austin may be repeated many times in reference to other cities in Texas, for, notwithstanding the tremendous burden of oppression with which the Negro struggles, there is still sufficient ambition left in his makeup to enable him to engage in self-supporting independent enterprises on his own account. The churches and schools of Austin are well attended. There is less of the mock-religious sentiment prevailing among the people than one will discover in northern cities. There is very little formality in the matter of religious worship. Some of the churches are composed of illiterate and ignorant people and the form of worship indulged in by these people is boisterous and often nonsensical but the people are sincere. The superstitions which prevailed during the slavery period are still the cherished inheritance and ideals largely of the illiterate class of church-goers. It will require many generations of educational effort to free these people from these peculiar superstitions. There is a laudible rivalry among the school children, which betokens a development of great value in the future. The state of Texas is to be commended for the loyal way in which it supports the Institute for the Deaf, Dumb and Bling for colored youths. This institution is controlled by a board of trustees, composed entirely of white men, and it is gratifying to note that the Governor showed great wisdom in the selection of the personnel of this board, for the men are all sympathetic and kindly in their attitude toward the defectives housed in this institution. Prof. J. I. Donaldson, the superintendent, is a colored man of superior executive and business ability; he is well trained for his work. He has demonstrated during the period in which he has had control of the institution that industry, strict attention to business and profound interest in the welfare of those placed in his charge will not only result in enthusiastic praise, but will secure such improvements as his experience suggests are needed. His suggestions are usually approved by the board of trustees and great improvements are promised in the immediate future. Mrs. E. H. Mitchell, a very efficient teacher in the sign language for the deaf and dumb, gave an exhibition of her remarkable gift by repeating a lengthy speech to the inmates, in which a vocabulary not common in the popular address was employed, and in such comprehensive and perfect fashion that the students were all enlightened and highly pleased. The chief purpose of the Institute for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind is to give the boys and girls a common school education and to teach each a trode that will enable tinuation of Article each to earn a living after he leaves the institution. The girls are instructed in cooking, plain sewing, dressmaking and other useful arts while the other boys are taught broom, mattress making, tailoring and shoemaking. Some of the pupils have become so proficient that they are able to do much of the work for the inmates, thus saving the institution considerable money from year to year. Prof. Donaldson has a very able corps of teachers and the work accomplished is both helpful and inspiring to those interested in the welfare of these defectives. One of the blind girls has written poetry or real merit. (To be continued.) NEGRO JUNK DEALERS INC CORPORATE Negro Women to Form Cafeteria Corporation By Attorney Aful McDowell Business progress and cooperation among Negroes are strikingly illustrated by the incorporation during this week of the H. A. Reeves Company, and the prospective incorporation of a cafeteria business to be owned and controlled by Negro women. The H. A. Reeves Company is named after H. A. Reeves, who for six years coducted a private junk business in this city. Starting business with a borrowed horse and wagon, Mr. Reeves, almost penniless, daily solicited junk about the city of Los Angeles until a few years ago his business flourished so greatly that he purchased property in the industrial district of Santa Fe avenue, near Ninth street, and there confined his operations to the wholesale junk business, buying junk from retail junk men. As a wholesale junk dealer Mr. Reeves business continued to increase to such volume that it needed enlarged, to realize which he finally incorporated, bringing into the new concern the Collie Brothers, who for a few years have been successfully carrying on a wholesale junk business at the corner of Santa Fe avenue and Leonard street. The corporation has taken over the entire business formerly conducted by H. A. Reeves and the Collie Brothers, and will utilize the locations of the former concerns. These locations comprise one lot on Santa Fe avenue near Ninth street, one lot at the corner of Santa Fe avenue and Leonard street, with side track, and two lots on Porter street, making a total of four lots, with the buildings thereon, to be used by this new corporation. At present there are fourteen Negroes employed by this corporation, and with the increase of business more employees will be added. Further illustrating Negro enterprise is the prospective corporation now being formed by a group of Negro women, who inspired by a hope for freedom from discrimination in cafeterias, are planning to organize a corporation to own and conduct a cafeteria and soda fountain. This prospective corporation plans to locate its business in the downtown district at a place convenient for shoppers and persons employed in the busi- Los Angeles, Cal., JUNE 6, 1914 M. B. G. A. BODEN CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT FOR JUDGE OF SUPERIOR COURT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY George A. Boden, for twenty years a resident of Los Angeles county, and having an irreproachable record as an attorney and counselor at law, announces his candidacy for Judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. Mr. Boden stands, and has stood for the equality of rights for all. He has been an advocate of woman's suffrage even before the movement in favor of equal suffrage began. He has always held that women, who are the determining factors in the development of the prope rthoughts for the betterment of man, should have an equal right with men in all respects, civic, political and otherwise. Mr. Boden is what may be termed a self-made man. He has worked for himself since he was ten years of age. He worked his way through the Los Angeles State Normal school by carrying papers and doing such other work as was possible for him to do and carry on his studies. After graduating from the Los Angeles Normal, he taught in the schools of the state for ten years, and was principal of one of the large public G. A. BODEN CANDIDATE SUPERIO schools in Pasadena, for six years, where he has hosts of friends among the pupils who attended the school when he was principal. Mr. Boden contends that school and other institutions should be run on a business basis with equal rights to all who attend or who come under the supervision of the authorities, regardless of financial condition or social standing. Mr. Boden was born June 4, 1876, in Tehachapi, Kern county, Calif., where his father had a ranch. He obtained a public school education by riding seven miles to school each day. While Mr. Boden taught school he studied law, and during his vacations and holidays and at night attended law school and graduated PAGE --- with honors from the Law School of the University of Southern California. He has been in active practice of law for the past ten years in the City of Los Angeles, and has been successful in his practice; and his clients will be among his most ardent supporters as he has always made a practice to take their cases and looking after their interests when they were in the right, regardless of compensation. Mr. Boden was for two years a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Education. While in the practice of law Mr. Boden has made a careful study of probate law and law pertaining to real property, besides taking a deep interest at all times in juvenile work and the welfare of juvenile offenders. Mr. Boden is a native son of the State of California, and belongs to the Los Angeles Parlor. He is a member of the Los Angeles Bar Association, and belongs to the Masonic Order. He has offices at 527-8 Union Oil building, Los Angeles, California. All who know Mr. Baden testify to his high character and his worth as a citizen and all classes find in him a friend and with such characters as him on the bench the highest to the humblest will have ATE FOR JUDGE OF THE R. COURT at court even-handed justice, which is al lthat can be asked or expected. The people therefore will do well to rally to the support of such men for the judiciary as Mr. Boden. The Eagle is proud to commend to our readers Mr. Boden as one of the ten judges to be nominated at the coming primaries. CAPT. C. D. MANNING AS SU PERVISOR FROM FIRST DISTRICT Friends of Capt. C. D. Manning announce that he will be a candidate to succeed himself as supervisor from the First Supervisorial District of Los Angeles county. Captain Manning was born on CANNO Prominent Aspirants for Political Preferment October 24, 1847, and has resided in Lamanda Park and Pasadena for over twenty years. He has been supervisor from the First Supervisorial District since January 1, 1907. To him deservedly belongs the honor of being the pioneer champion of good roads in Southern California, being one of Captain Manning - Candidate For Supervisor First Dist. the members of the committee who first met in 1907 to formulate a draft of a law to be submitted to the legislature for voting bonds for the building of a permanent system of good roads, and with untiring energy assisted in the passage of the act by the legislature authorizing the bonds, the voting and carrying of the bonds and the organization of the highway commission; and, through his efforts as chairman of the highway committee of the board of supervisors, which position he now holds, has done everything in his power to secure for and maintain for Los Angeles county the finest system of boulevards in the world. During the past two years through the efforts of Captain Manning in addition to the three hundred miles of boulevards built under the bond issue, over forty-six miles of permanent macadem roads have been constructed in road improvement districts and from the local road funds in different portions of the First Supervisorial District. The San Gabriel and the Turnbull Canyon roads, now under construction, and his efforts to secure the Arroyo Seco road from Antelope Valley to Pasadena as soon as it can possibly be built are examples of what he has done, is doing and will do for the good roads system of Los Angeels county. The Board of Supervisors has formed a road department for the entire county under the supervision of a road commissioner; and, as the road department so formed, is under the direction and control of the Board of Supervisors, Captain Manning, as chairman of the highway committee of the Board of Supervisors, will take a prominent part in the establishment and maintenance of the good roads of Los Angeles county. In connection with this road work Now On Aspirants al Preferment he has been in instrumental in beautifying the highway system of Los Angeles county with the magnificent scheme of trees lining each side of the highway, and, in placing such trees, has constantly borne in mind the interest of the adjoining property owner in such planting. Captain Manning stands for the construction and maintenance, under the supervision of a competent board of engineers which has been appointed by the Board of Supervisors, a system of protection from the deplorable storm water conditions, which system will extend from the mountains to the seas. There is no condicacy that will appeal to the people of his district more than that of Capt. Manning. He has made as supervisor an enviable record and he has at all times stood for the interests of the people, anl in him the most humble have always had a friend at court. Race, color, creed or religion has cut no figure with him in the discharge of the duties of his position. Justice to all has been his aim, and all who know testify to his record along these lines, and he is receiving a strong support from all classes for reelection. Capt. C. D. Manning was born on October 24, 1848, served in the Ninth Illinois Cavalry during the Civil war, has been a resident of Pasadena for twenty years. The Captain is peculiarly fitted for the position he occupies as he is an expert on road work and knows the county like a book. The colored people of his home town and throughout his district are unanimous in their support to Capt. Manning. Some of the leading colored citizens who are rallying to his support are A. H. Evans, W. M. Lawson, W. C. Dent, R. F. Scott, Wm. Solomon, Mrs. C. Hicks, Mrs. K. Man Baker, J. W. Lewis, H. B. Harris, S B. Carr, J. H. Harper, Ed Roberson, T. C. Walker, W. M. Moore, W. C. Williams, J. T. Long, Henry Noel, G. R. Harris, Mrs. N. McMickins, C. Prince, J. W. Davis, T. Tyrns, C. Gresham and hundreds of others. IMPROV San-Francisco Doings MUTILATED PAGE IVERSIDE, Cal., June 6, '14 To the Editor of the Eagle. We hope that you can find space in your great paper for a few words. Our rally on the fourth Sunday in last month was quite a success. We are trying to do our duty as a leader for the people in every way. The church is divided into five tribes to bring in $500 The captains of each tribe are working in perfect harmony with a board that knows what it is to work together. The Lord is leading us on to victory. The amount collected: $573. PASTOR HARDEMAN. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Coleman have returned from their week-end trip to Stockton, where they visited friends and relatives. They reported having spent an enjoyable time. The funeral of the late Mrs. Fred McQueen was held Wednesday afternoon from the Zion church. Rev. Blakney officiated. The Ministerial Alliance was held this week at the Second Baptist Church. Ministers from all over the valley were present. Mrs. Barnts leaves this week for Birmingham, Ala., to be at the bedside of her ill moher. We are expecting Mr. Bass of Los Angeles in our city in a couple of weeks in the interest of the Lincoln Republican Club and the Eagle. Watch this paper for exact date. Miss Spears may accompany Mr. Bass. This lady is a brilliant race leader and a noted elocutionist. Rev. Arline was in Stockton Sunday on business. While there he preached for Rev. Reed at the Second Baptist Church. A large number of Fresno smart set journeyed to Fowler Sunday on a pleasure trip. Among those who went were Misses Leola Watkins, Delia Crawford, Addie Bern, Birdie Postals, Amy Harris and Mae McClendon, Messrs. Edw. Lewis and Louie Pearson. "Bob" Merrill was in our city Sunday, returning the same evening to Modesto where he is employed. The new and elegant Chaver dwelling is nearing completion and NINE—EAGLE 6-5 is easily the finest dwelling of our people in this part of the valley. It is a two-story structure, designed and built by the Baskin Brothers, who, by the way, are local colored contractors. By Our Staff Correspondant The contest for local judicial honors has reached the boiling point. The Eagle will publish a special article on the same next week. Sheriff W. W. Collins has gained a strong support for reelection. There are a'ways two sides to any story. F. H. Lamberton also has a strong following in this vicinity. Coroner L. C. Locey has made good seems to be the general verdict of all. Mr. Ira Chrisman, our genial recorder, will receive a fair consideration at the hands of the voters at the coming primaries. Tony Love of Visalia is one of the live wires of Tulare county and and is with his friends. CISCO DOINGS 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 good number of minor places that go far toward keeping the pot boiling and the larder 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 iterit 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 had there been no change. Transfers have usually involved Recently John T. Howe of North Carolina was given a substantial promotion in the treasurer's office. Last week Andrew J. 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 J. 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. [Portrait of a young man] YOUR VISIT TO San Francisco ING. Complete Unless HENRY HASTING.

The choruses were grand, the entire school taking part. Your correspondent attended the county fair held at Visalia last December where the schools of the county had on exhibition the work done in the different grades, such as drawing, painting and kindergarten work. I must say Allensworth is also to cope with anything there. Sunday morning we were surprised when the 8 o'clock train arrived from Bakersfield. Friends to the number of thirty-two came up and spent the day with us. Rev. and Mrs. Price and the choir all smiles gave us a treat. After the opening exercises Rev. Price spoke to the graduates and congregation using the text, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you." The Rev. told them it is all right to educate the head and the hand, but the heart must be educated also; then that Bakeseresfield choir. All I can say is it is fine—just grand. There is no reason why that they should not have plenty of good singing during the annual Conference meet. Did you ever notice in reading about the Commencement exercises in other schools and other papers that the graduates, should they be girls, are generally styled the "sweet girl graduates!" Well Allensworth certainly had four sweet looking girl graduates. I know Prof. Payne was proud of them and I think Prof. Simmons, principal of the Visalia High School, was proud of them and not eed to say anything about the mothers and fathers and the community; they were all proud to know that first we have a school all our own; teachers all our own and our own school board and our own girls and boys to graduate. Long live Allensworth. Here's to the fairest flower that grows, In the San Joaquin Valley between the snows; May she always bloom and never fade And stand for the right, the true and brave, Allensworth The sick are Mr. Norval Powell, Mr. W. M. Hall, Col. Allen Allensworth. While attending the pumps at the irrigation wells Mr. Hall was badly burned about the body. He was sent to Bakersfield to the hospital. Col. Allensworth at this time is better but very weak. Mr. Powell is better. Prof. Chas. Alexander will be with us Sunday to deliver one of his famous lectures. Pro. Alexander is on a tour of the northern part of the state. Mrs. N. Rainbow and the Misses Charlotte and Beatrice Rainbow have gone to Tulare for a while. The three Misses Hacketts of Alameda are expected to arrive in Allensworth soon to spend their vacation.

President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, with their chums, Carranza and Col. Villa, seem to have the edge on Gen. Huerta at this writing.

We shall endeavor to keep our readers posted on the various aspirants, to the end that in making a choice no one need err. THE EAGLE PICKS WINNER Mony months ago The Eagle came out editorially for Captain Fredericks for Governor. We believed then, as we do now, that he was the one best bet to re-establish in this state the things which the Grand Old Party stands for. viz.: Peace, Prosperity and Union. So now, in response to a general call from all classes, the Captain has consented to carry the standard to victory. We shall deem it a great privilege, in our humble way, to do what we can to assist in this great movement, which means so much to the future of this great commonwealth. The present administration does not meet the demands of a progressive age, an dthe names of progress is a misnomer. The people, with a natural handicap of the state craft of our schoolmaster-president have been simply overwhelmed with the vagaries of our state administration and are anxious for election day to come, that they may have the opportunity of rectifying at least in part their mistake in ever placing in power the present regime in state and nation. We are proud of the fact that we and our people are lining up to do our full duty to bring about the victory which is now in sight. THE BAPTIST EXECUTIVE BOARD AND REV. J. GORDON McPHERSON Practically all of the Baptist ministers in Southern California were in attendance at the meeting of the executive board at Mt. Zion Church, this city, last week. After mature deliberation with th evidence at hand, issued a signed statement branding the said Rev. J. Gordon McPherson as an embezzler and passed a res- ministry. These resolutions appear in another column of this issue and are published as news matter. One thing certain, it is nit evasive; it comes right out and calls a spade a spade. If the charges are untrue the Rev. McPherson has a remedy at court for criminal libel. Calling the editor of The Eagle names for publishing news will not suffice. He has been branded by a reputable ministry of a great church body. We hope that he is innocent of the charges they have made and will gladly so announce when he proves his innocence. We are authorized to announce the candidacy of Judge Robert W. McDonald for justice of the peace of Pasadena township subject to the primaries August 25, 1914. Frank C. Dunham hereby announces himself as a candidate for justice of the peace for Pasadena township subject to the primaries August 25, 1914. THE WILSON ADMINISTRATION The preesnt administration has necessarily attracted much attention and comment because of the varied issues of public interest that have sprung up under its regime. However, the Mxeican situation and the President's manner of deceiving the public as to the true status of affairs in Mexico seems ti be the chief criticism charged up to our diplomatic Woodrow. HARD TIMES We are not going to attempt to attribute the present status of commercial acairs to any person or party. We also feel that we are deviating from newspaper tone in attempting to hint at this present period of hard times, but be that as it may, we feel keenly the pinch and are endeavoring to shed a few tears and at least through that medium get temporary relief, for we are aware that the entire country der a great financial strain. This does not mean that the money has been transported out of the country but that somebody or bodies have "tightened up" and our plea is, "Loosen up" and let the wheels of progress grind away. This is the richest country in the world. A republic in which the humblest of the humble has enjoyed to some extent the fruits of prosperity along with free speech and worship. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH Services last Sunday were well attended as usual. An overflowing congregation gave marked attention to the sermon on "Ingratitude. Nine persons joined the church and soul was converted. Rev. G. C. Coleman, D.D., pastor of the North Oakland Baptist church delivered a most effective sermon on the subject, "The Abundant Life." The congregation was well pleased and hope he will come again. The Helping Hand musical given on Tuesday evening was more than a success. In fact it was the best program of the year. The Mutual Aid surprised its president, Sister Goving, last Monday evening, by presenting to her a beautiful water set in appreciation of her faithful services. On the same evening a beautiful reception was tendered the officers and members of the reception committee, of which Mrs. Prentice is chairman. Monthly communion next Sunday. Let every member fill his place at the Lord's Table. FINDS HUSBAND WAS MU LATTO: ASKS DECREE LATTO; ASKS DECREE Declaring that she discovered after her marriage that her husband was a mulatto, Mrs. Viola Temple today fled suit in the superior court for an annulment of her marriage to John Henry Temple. They were married November 28, 1912, at Oakland, Cal. After she discovered he was not a Caucasian she said she had nothing further to do with him. The friends of County Assessor Ed. W. Hopkins are urging his nomination and re-election to that office. They base their claims to support on the principle that experience and conscientious service in the past should be sufficient reason for asking for his re-election. His experience as County Assessor dates back to the time of the death of the late Ben E. Ward, whose chief deputy he was at the time, and upon his death he was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to fill in the unexpired time. He was afterward elected for the succeeding term of four years now about to expire. Mr. Hopkins is thoroughly posted in and at the erevenue laws of the state, and at the last session of the State Assessors' Association he was made its president. No fault has ever been found with his administration of the office, on the contrary, he is recognized as having conducted its af PETER H. HARRIS fairs in a systematic and satisfactory manner. This was fairly proved at the last session of the County Board of Equalization when less than 500 changes of value were asked out of more than 750,000 valuations, and at the close of the session Mr. Hopkins was commended by the Board for the equitable results obtained by his office. There should be no doubt as to his re-election. It will be remembered in this connection that under the new primary law the Assessor's office is classed as strictly non-partisan, party nominations not being permitted, each candidates name appearing upon the non-partisan portion of all tickets, and in addition to which a non-partisan ticket is made up for the benefit of the voters who did not state their politics when they registered. Mr. Hopkins is a staunch friend of all and has always given recognition in his office to all classes and races that go to to make up our citizenship. J. Walter Hanby, a prominent attorney of this city, announces himself as a candidate for the office of Justice of the Peace of Los Angeles Township. Mr. Hanby was admitted to J. Walter Hanby Candidate for Justice of the peace. practice before the Supreme Court of this state in 1903; and has practiced his profession continuously since that time and for the last seven years. He is a native son and has resided in this city almost continuously since 1882. Mr. Hanby is a thirty-second degree Mason and belongs to the Shrine, Knights of PPythias and Native Sons, and has for many years been active in furthering the best interests of the city and county. Last week Edward Judson Brown, an attorney of this city, announced his candidacy for one of the four offices of Justice of the Peace of Los Angeles township within the gift of the voters at the coming elections. Brown has been practicing law in Los Angeles for more than seven years, during which time he has tried a wide variety of civil, criminal and insane cases. In 1912 he secured two reversals of the Superior Court, one of which resulted in establishing the invalidity of over a thousand default judgments of the justice's court owing to irregularity in the issuance of summons. This resulted in an amendment of the law by the legislature of 1913 relating to the justices' court of Los Angeles township. In the past year Mr. Brown secured two decisions before Judge Works of the Superior Court declaring two ordinances of the City of Los Angeles relating to certain powers of the police commission, unconstitutional, after the city had been enforcing them for nearly seven years. By a decision of the Supreme Court of this State procured by Mr. Brown the principle was established that property owners could give a waiver in advance to a street contractor waiving all invalidity in the levying or issuing of assessments or street bonds in payment of street improvement work. Edward Judson Brown was PETER H. born at Redlands, Calif., on April 11, 1884, and after securing his education in Chicago returned to this state and studied law in the office of Judge A. M. Foster at Redlands and was admitted to the bar at Los Aneles in January, 1907, upon examination by the District Court of Appeal. As a supporter of city improvement measures and interest in the work of the Juvenile Protective Association, Mr. Brown has been active in the betterment of conditions in this community. The County of Los Angeles is divided into thirty-four judicial townships for the purpose of establishing justices of the peace and constables. Los Angeles township comprises the City of Los Angeles and Gardena Precinct No. 2, and at present has one Justices' Court composed of four justices of the peace whose terms are four years each and all expire January 1, 1915, thus requiring the election of four justices in the coming elections. Of all the Courts, the Justices' Court comes into closest contact with the people. In it are tried the majority of cases affecting the small business man, wage earner and employee. Civil cases where the amount involved is less than $300 come before this Court. Misdemeanors committed in Los Angeles County outside of Los Angeles City are triable before it. As committing magistrates the Justices of this Court hold preliminary examinations in felony cases. In January, 1914, 1061 civil cases were filed in this Court; 329 were tried. Not more than ten percent of cases tried are appealed, therefore ninety per cent of the decisions of the Justices' Court become final. These offices are all non-partisan and one may vote at the primary election for four candidates, whether he stated his part yaffiliation or not at time or registering. It is unnecessary to say that the justices of this Court should be men of sound legal erprience, sterling honesty POLICE JUDGE THOS. P.

The primary election will take place August 25, there being two justices to elect in this city. Judge McDonald has resided here 16 years, and has been police judge since May 15, 1906, and judge of the justice court since a few months later in that year. In that time that he has occupied both positions, Judge McDonald has taken a deep interest in reformation work, especially as applied toward children and habitual drunkards. He established the plan of giving the latter an alternativie senttnce of taking the liquor cure or going to jail, and he has also taken a prominent part in the movement to establish a juvenile court in this city. A. Judge McDinald's plan for reforming drunkards has been adopted by many police courts throughout this state. His decisions on civil matters when carried to higher courts, have generally been sustained. The judge started his legal career here in 1901, when he was appointed assistant city attorney of Pasadena, and held the position until he resigned five years later. May 15, 1906, shortly after resigning this position, he was appointed police judge, and a few months later appointed by the board of supervisors as justice of the peace of Pasadena township, to which position he has been twice re-elected, by increased majorities. The colored voters of Pasadena will give to Judge McDonald a hearty support. He is noted for his friendship to this people. They appreciate the same and will prove it by giving to him a unanimous support for re-election as justice of the peace for Pasadena township. FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE It was indeed gratifying to me to learn that the services as Justice of the Peace of Pasadena township since my appointment by the Honorable Board of Supervisores of Los Angeles County have met with the approval of the citizens in all walks of life, as shown by the open letter of endorsement recently published in the Pasadena papers. At this time I make known my candidacy for the office of one of the Justices of the Peace of Pasadena township, subject to the approval of the voters at the Primary election to be held August 25, 1914, and in so doing I wish to state that I thoroughly believe in the law relative to judicial offices in that it makes such office the dignity of all judicial offices should be such that the candidates seeking a judicial office should depend upon their record, and the efforts and support of their friends.

At the time of the fire in February they had in less than two years increased their stock in value many hundred, and at their grand opening June 10th will open with a complete line of dry goods, millinery and notions amounting to $2000 in valuation. At the opening there will be special sales in special lines of goods. Refreshments free of charge will be served and a beautiful prize will be awarded the person spending the first ten dollars. In progressiveness along their particular line the Prentices have surpassed the most sanguine hopes of their friends, and as a race enterprise every race-loving man and woman should be proud of the strides made by this firm in the commercial walks of life. Now don't forget the time, June 10th. Place, 1324 E. Ninth street. SECOND BAPSTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS HONORS THE SUPERINTENDENT M. J. D.

The Negro bas shown bis patri otiem since 1619 to the present day. | There was a black jregiment yee, a regiment of Negroes—fight- ing for our jiberty and indepen: dence (not 4 white man among them but the officer:), stationed ai what was called a “flanking,”— that is, upon a place which the enemy must pass in order to come around in our rear to drive us from the fort, This pags was ev- erything, both to the enemy and us. Had the colored soldiers given way before the enemy, ot been un- faithful, all would have been lost, Three times in succession were they attacked with the most des- perate valor ad fury by well dis- ciplined aud yeteran troops; and three times did they successfully repel the assault and thus preserve our army from capture. They fought through the war; they were brave, hardy troops; they helped to gain our libery ‘and indepen- dence.

After a thorough in- vestigation they were released, ae it developed that the couple were en route to Canada to be married.

Afro-American Nominated For Legistature- A pleasing sign of progress in West Virginia is that for the first time an Afro-American was placed on a Kanawha county ticket, when C. H. James was selected by the. Progressive party in convention here May 15 as one of its five can- didates for the lower house of the legislature, having been third in a field of seven. Mr. James, who is a wholesale produce and commie- sion merchant, came into ‘political prominence two years ago-when, as one of the two Afro-American delegates from this state to the Progressive National Convention, he was referred to at some length by Col. Roosevelt in a speech be- fore that body. There -are 2,500 race voters in the county: The support of these and that of the white farmers throughout the county by whom Mr. James is held in, high esteem, will elect him.

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 outng, 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 the General Baptist Association, with the Young People's Chautauqua 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 had the plans outlined for the carrying 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 movement 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 egroounds. 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 VALUE OF GOOD BOOKS Words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling like due upon a sheet, Produces that which makes thousands, Perhaps millions, think. How could the poet more artistically describe a good book? The classification of books and friends are very much an equal task, and I think that we should choose our books with as much caution, and under the same circumstances as we do our friends, for their sterling merit, and not for the accidental circumstances which may be in their favor. We, the intelligent young folks, are seeking the companionship of the best classes of people, and in the selection of books we should likewise seek the companionship of only the very best books. Some books should be our constant companions and associates; others we should consider as occasional acquaintances and visitors; and still others we should not know at all. Suppose, instead of responding to an invitation to a social function one evening, apply your reading to a good book. You can laugh with Twain, dwell in the heights with Webster, journey through Darkest Africa with Stanley; feel the fantastic charm of Poe and, in fact, experience almost any emotion, almost without getting up from his easy chair. This is a more beneficial way of spending spare moments, and has been proven, because some of the wisest of our fellow creatures have had us to know that they owed their happiest hours to books. I am very much of the opinion of Rev. Channing, who said: "No matter how poor I am; no matter though the prosperous of my own time will not enter my obscure dwelling, if the sacred writers will enter and take up their abode under my roof; if Milton will cross my threshold to sing to me of Paradise, and Shakespeare to open to me the world of imagination and the workings of the human heart, and Franklin to enrich me with his practical wisdom, I shall not want for intellectual companionship and I may become a cultivated man, though excluded from the best society in the place in which I live." This is very true, because one of the most important measures of self-culture is the intercourse with superior minds and in conferring with those minds through books great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts and, really, literally speaking, they pour their souls into ours. We can know the trend of thought as possessed by an individual simply by the reading of his books. I have never in my life been so fortunate as to see and hear Ex-President Roosevelt in the capacity of an orator, but I am very familiar with his ideas and beliefs as to the Negro. I did not know the late Mr. Dunbar, but I do know that he made a study of the habits, traits and modes of living of the people of his race. He must have been a frequent visitor to the homes of the lowly. Nothing can better substantiate this fact than Dunbar's poems. Thus a book is simply an image of a soul, a library - simply an asylum where intellects are confined. An old saying is this: "Show me your company and I will tell you what you are," because, in a measure, a man's company is imposed upon him, but the books he owns are the result of his own individual choice. Visit the library of a lawyer, a minister, a physician or teacher and there you will find an adequate number of books pertaining to the profession of the owner.

Race representation everywhere The Afro-American citizens of Chicago want a policewomen or two. Recently that department of the city government has appointed women of other nationalities, why not give some women of the race a chance to show their fitness for this important work. For many years this city has had the largest number of Afro-American police-officers of any other city in the country. They are identified with every branch of the service. They are in the detective bureau and in the rank of plain clothes men and patrolmen. One is a lieutenant. He won his position through fitness, and every other member of the department has demonstrated his ability to wear a star. Such being the record, then why not a policewoman. The white women appointed have to be taught the game; why not include an Afro-American or two? If shrewdness, diplomacy and obeying orders form a part of the requirements, Chief Gleason has the pick of hundreds of reputable women of color who can and will successfully pass the physical and mental tests that the white woman did. Then why not give them a chance?
