The High School in Austin, Prof. L. C. Anderson principal, is well attended. A bright group of boys and girls are here to be seen. The faces of these boys and girls glow with an optimism kindled by the examples of fine teachers. They are looking forward to worthy achievements. My recollections of Austin are delightful. On leaving Austin I went to Waco. I arrived in Waco at a very early hour in the morning and after some embarrassment, found a room at the "Grand International Royal Palace Hotel." I cannot tell for fear of embarrassing others, very much about this hotel. It is proverbial that names mean little to the Negro. Many barber shops are called parlors and palaces when they are pestholes. Many eating houses are called cafes when they are unfit for human occupation, and this is true of some of the places in Waco. There are things in Waco to interest the visitors, chief among them is the Negro waiting room in the railroad station and one tall office building which stands out like a lonesome monument in the desert. The visit to Paul Quinn College occupies a cherished place in my diary. This institution is the outgrowth of heroic efforts on the part of zealous, devoted christian men. The founders of Paul Quinn College were men of superb faith. They dared to push forward, even against odds, seemingly insurmountable. This institution is now 33 years old and its history is a source of pride to the great African Methodist denomination. From the very nature of the case, Paul Quinn College represents the constructive force in the Negro race. This school is the property of a church organization composed entirely of Negroes and the authorities of the school must look to these Negroes for support. No missionary board or philanthropic society contributes to the support of Paul Quinn College. This institution is offering splendid courses in science, arts, music and the various handicrafts. Its curriculum and catalogue compares favorably with those of other schools in the Southern states. Too much praise cannot be given its president, Dr. I. M. Burgan, through whose indefatigueable efforts the institution has been developed. Dr. Burgan is a scholar of high rank and is doing a splendid inspirational work among the colored people of Texas. Dr. Isaac M. Burgan, D. D., was born in North Carolina and has enjoyed varied experiences as preacher, leader and educator. He was graduated from Wilberforce University in 1883, and immediately upon graduation he was called to the responsible position of president of Paul Quinn College, and, except for a few brief intervals, he has been identified with this institution ever since. By Dr. Burgan's illustrious ex- CALIFORNIA ample, the traditions and atmosphere of Paul Quinn College have been made dear to every student who has enjoyed the good fortune to gain admission into its halls. The quickening and inspiring influence of his broad and generous culture has led the students to higher aims and loftier aspirations. Many of the young men and women who have attended Paul Quinn College might have sluggishly dragged behind in the scholastic procession had not his fine example proven a daily source of encouragement and hope. A college must, in the final analysis, be judged by what it has accomplished. Paul Quinn College has given to the common schools of Texas some of their ablest instructors. Some of the best church workers and Sunday school teachers in the state have come out of this institution. The faculty of Paul Quinn College is a strong one. One of the finest art teachers in the Colored race is here employed and the specimens of art work exhibited by the college will do credit to any art gallery in the South. The vocational school here is achieving big things: Sewing, dressmaking, millinery, carpentry, printing, agriculture, commercial and business courses—offer a varied line of study to ambitious young men and women. Under the guiding hand of Dr. Burgan, Paul Quinn College has done well in the past and, if given loyal support by his Church and race, the college will achieve even greater good for humanity in the future. The singing in the chapel at Paul Quinn College was the most harmonious and freightend with greater pathos than any singing I heard in the State. There was a real meaning to the plantation songs as interpreted by the Paul Quinn Student body. (To Be Continued.) THE NEGRO WOMAN IN AMERICA By Eloise Bibb-Thompson "He, that is mighty hath done great things to"—woman "and holy is His name. He hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold all generations shall call me blessed." God's estimate of womanhood was demonstrated to the world when he placed his only begotten Son into the care of a saintly He-But sorrow, humiliation, loss, and agony unspeakable have been the portion of the daughter of Ethiopia, from the early days of antiquity, on the low plains of her own soil, to the time when she wore shackles on her wrists in this country. Torn from the bosom of her family in Africa, thrown naked into the hole of a vessel, bound with a mass of desperate, unfortunate men to be used for slave-traffic she was brought to this country, placed upon the slaveblock, and sold to the highest bidder. Then began the tragedy of the Negro woman in America. Mated, with no choice whatever in the matter, to every lustful rogue who east eyes upon her, she was forced to produce offsprings who were sold away from her when her heart most needed their affection. In her crowded program of daily duties no time was given her for grief, but her over-charged soul found relief for its miseries in the plantation melodies that she chanted in the fields, as she worked hour after hour, side by side, i.e. Her daughter, with skin of Los Angeles, Cal., JUNE 13, 1914 the broiling hot sun, with horse and oxen picking cotton, planting cane or digging ditches. lighter shade, had moral problems more intricate, more disastrous than she. Sin was made easy for her, false ideals were thrust upon her; she was a victim of moral degradation too loathsome to depict. Yet, ir spite of this environment of baseness and slavery, the flames of aspiration and of moral rectitude have never ceased to burn in the soul of the Negro woman of America. The old mammy of antebellum days who repeatedly commanded her young charges, both white and black. to mind their manners was a very proper person, who somehow gleaned the great difference between right and wrong and tried as far as she was able, to obey the commandments of her God. Back in the eighteenth century the fire of poetry lit the pen of a black girl, Phyllis Wheatley, who was brought naked to the shores of Massachusetts. Her poems at the age of seven years were so wonderful that they induced her mistress to give her an education. Several years after, a book of her poems was published in England with the endorsement of some of the most eminent men of Britian and America. Her lines to Gen. George Washington brought forth his commendation in a marked degree. Philanthropy, though seldom exhibited in her days, was found in the breast of a black woman, Harriet Tubman, to such an extent that she was called the Moses of her people. Fearless utterance spoken with the tongue of an orator characterized the slave woman, Sojourner Truth, to whose A JIM CROW MANAGER W. J.

Tillman, Adele Hunt L gan, and those of California: Mr Angeles have erected a splendid Ella V. Moxley, Mrs. J. R. Some The power of self-sacrifice and noble endeavor of Booker T. Washington was transmitted to him, undoubtedly, by his mother whose agonizing prayers that the Negro would be made free, often woke him from his morning slumber. Injustice and unwholesome surroundings had no power to quench the intellectual longings of the mother of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who when a child listening to the poems read by her master to his wife, prayed that opportunity might some day come to her to write such verse as her master had read. The shadows of slavery and ignorance are far too black to permit a clear insight into what the colored woman achieved in slavery. But freedom has opened to her the avenue of opportunity. She has profited by her advantages, and her accomplishment during the past fifty years has been an eye-opener to the world. She has graced the social functions of diplomat and senator in the person of Mrs. B. K. Bruce, whose culture and dignity of bearing are equaled only by women of the highest lineage. As a platform orator, the colored woman has stirred the souls of men in Europe and America, for the names of Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Mary Church Terrell are signals of jus- PAGE GE CAN tice and reform. The richness of melody in the voice of the woman of color has charmed and thrilled the most critical and musical audiences. The world's laurels have been placed again and again at the feet of Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, Marie Selika, Flora Batson, Sisseretta Jones and Azalea Hackley. The colored woman of America has revealed to the world the artistic possibilities of her race, for she has carved a breathing soul upon the face of inanimate marble and made it portray the feelings that burned within her own heart. Following are the subjects that the sculptors Edmonia K. Lewis and Mrs. Fuller have chosen to exhibit in the salons and exhibitions of Europe, "The Death of Cleopatra," "The Marriage of Hiawatha," "Carrying the Dead Body," and "The Freed Woman." The efficiency and usefulness of the American colored woman is also exhibited in the class room, which she has entered after much preparation in the best Colleges and Universities of this country, and in a few instances in Europe. Out of the 34,000 colored teachers throughout the country, it is safe to say that one-half and possibly three-fourths are women. As a worker in the great reformatory movements of the day, the colored woman has shown an aptitude and a zeal that is unexcellled. As a clubwoman she has awakened consciences, righted wrongs, built up institutions that shelter the needy, care for the helpless, and start the erring one on the road to right. The names of Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Lucy Thurman, Nannie H. Burroughs, Mrs. Bishop Clinton, Cath- erine B. Tillman. Adele Hunt Logan, and those of California: Mrs. Ella V. Moxley, Mrs. J. R. Somerville, Mrs. Alice Patton, Mrs. J. M. Scott, Mrs. Georgia Offutt, Mrs. Eugene Walker, Mrs. Thomas Nelson, Miss C. A. Spear and a host of others are clarions of aggression and progress. The Social service of the colored woman has also been of great benefit to her race. She has served the needy in settlements, she has labored as probation officer and relieved the afflicted as district nurse. But best of all the colored woman has worked early and late for her sons and daughters that they might be able to take advantage of the opportunities of freedom. She has deprived herself of the necessities of life, in order that they might be fitted for future responsibilities. She has prayed over the wash-tub that they would not thoughtlessly receive the blessings that she, born in slavery, was deprived of. How shall we, of this generation of promise, born in a time when opportunity knocks daily at our door, profit by the advantages which our old hard-working mothers have made possible for us! Shall we make of ourselves noble, helpful Christian laborers ready for the world's work, or shall we follow the herd of senseless, godless, lawbreakers who offend modesty, disregard motherhood, annual matrimony, sanction new-fangled beliefs and latter-day greed EAGLE Paper That Created Sensation Among Citizen which slight the well-grounded, though old fashioned truths of the sacred Bible?

Are we forgetting the sweet name of Jesus, that our mothers in their groanings and supplications breather so many times a day? What will become of the colored race if it forgets its God?

Craig, candidate for presiding justice of the Appellate Court, is receiving strong endorsement and support on every hand. Recognizing in him a man of unquestionable integrity, unswerving purpose, and eminent qualifications for this office, members of all the different political parties have declared themselves to be heartily in favor of Judge Craig and have pledged their support. The office of presiding justice of the Appellate Court is an important one. It requires a man of keen intellect, broad legal experience, and scholarly habits. It requires a man who is fitted by his training to accurately analyze legal cases and legal text books. With these necessary qualifications Judge Gavin W. Craig is fitted in a marked degree. During the last twelve years of his life he has been directly involved in a study and analysis of legal cases and legal texts, both in his work as instructor in the University of Southern California Law College, and in the performance of his duties on the bench as a judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles county. In the performance of the duties of judge of the Superior Court, Judge Craig has made for himself an enviable reputation and has fully proved himself worthy of the confidence placed in him by the voters of Los Angeles county. He Number 17 has served in both the civil and criminal departments, showing such ability, integrity, and fearlessness as eminently fits him for the higher office to which he now aspires an dfor which he has had such ample preparation. He is known as a judge who is kind and just, never swayed by foolish sentiment, but always sympathetic and with the interest and welfare of the criminal, as well as of the state, at heart. He, together with several others interested in such humane work, recently established the Southern California Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, and Judge Craig was chosen its president. This organization has for its purposes reforms of a practical nature in criminal law, and the treatment of those convicted of crime. As an instructor of law Judge Craig is well known and highly respected among law students. It has been due largely to his efforts and direction that the University of Southern California College of Law, of which he was secretary for several years, and is still a prominent member of the faculty, grew and expanded from a mere handful of law students to an institution ranking fifth in size among all of the law colleges in the United States, and among the foremost in reputation for successful legal training. He has taught many of the subjects himself, at different times, and still teaches several of the advanced classes, in spite of his many duties. Notwithstanding his strenuous career Judge Craig has found time to exercise his ability as an author and has compiled a book on "Water Rights and Irrigation Law in the Western States," which is used as a legal text. He is at present compiling a work on "Securities." A man, conscientious and fearless, honest in purpose, of proven integrity and ability, impartial and just, untiring in his service of the people's interests, Judge Craig stands before the voters as a candidate worthy of the vote of every conscientious citizen. ANNUAL ELECTION OF HILL TEMPLE NO.1 S.M.T. Last Monday afternoon in their usual meeting place, Masonic hall, Hill Temple No. 1 assembled and witnessed one of the most harmonious elections ever held by that great body. Most of the present incumbants were retained in office. Mrs. W. H. Shores, W. P.; Mrs. S. A Wright, vice W. P.; Mrs. M. L. Gottchalk, W. S.; Mrs. J. E. Williams, assistant Rec.; Mrs. F. J. Johnson, W. T; Nancy Irving, chaplain. Each of these sisters have served long and well under the regime of Mrs. W. H. Shores, who because of her natural executive ability and lovable disposition cherishes the honor of having retained the office of W. P. for a much longer period than persons in the same capacity usually do. One other officer conspicuous because of the long and worthy manner in which she has exercised her duty as officer is Mrs. F. J. Johnson, who with Mrs. Shores is one of the foundation members, and an officer who has been in service for nearly fourteen terms. PROVIDENCE BAPTIST INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH It is indeed gratifying to note the progress and promise to be seen in this recent asset to the great Baptist family and to our people at large. The large attendance of last Sunday was astonishing. This really doesn't seem a new church. It seems that it has been with us for ages. The sermons of Minister Williams last Sunday were indeed inspiring. Miss Antoinette Young sang most pleasingly at the evening services. Next Sabbath Rev. Williams will speak at both morning and evening worship, morning, Flag Day, subject, "True Statesmanship," evening, "Is There Hope for the Victim of the Downward Trend?" Special music by the choir.

It is noticed that since the recent election in Venice the new city officials are trying to live up to their respective platforms and as a consequence a Negro's name has been placed upon the city's payroll. Interesting services are being enjoyed by the patrons of the First Baptist church of Venice on Sunday last two candidates were baptized and added to the church. The Golden West Literary and Social Club met at the home of Mrs. Carson. Much business was transacted and the body thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Upon suggestion from Mrs. Simpson a literary entertainment will be given by the club. The club will also be represented at the Women's Federation by Miss Reese, with a paper. Among the Beachites in town this week were Miss Eldridge, Messrs. Gentry, Jones and J. Reese. Railroad Day was celebrated at the Beach by way of a picnic at Playa Del Rey. Quite a crowd was in attendance, the majority from Los Angeles. Mrs. Howard's brother passed through last week en route to San Francisco. Los Angeles colored entertainers are having much success on the Beach. The Prentice New Idea store opened last Thursday in grand style, and not only did members of the race avail themselves of the bargains and delightful refreshments served by the firm but likewise of the other race. The Prentice New Idea store is with you to stay and The Eagle is boosting for it because it has made good. Its prices in dry goods are reasonable and its treatment to all people courteous.

Los Angeles has the distinction of a Jim Crow political manager in the person of McNeider of the Ford headquarters. Even political managers must have some regard for truth and veracity or good men will suffer as a result of their misrepresentation. ONLY TWO PAPERS There are about 30,000 Negroes in Los Angeles. They are served by two race journals, the California Eagle and the New Age. They, and they alone, are the only legitimate and bonafide newspapers published. Unscrupulous parties claiming they have any paper with a standing in this city, are frauds and perpetrating a fraud upon the public in such representation. We have no objection to the fellow who is hustling, providing he is not doing so at our expense. Such being the case we must protect ourselves if we have to unhorse someone. We have given one warning. But Nero seems to keep fiddling while Rome burns. Why an individual whose record is a succession of failures and crookedness should want to aspire to public position where he knows he will be shot full of holes is an enigma to all of us. G. A. Baden is one of the candidates who everybody can unite on and we are going to ask for him a united support of all who want on rvery best timer for the judiciary. MAKING A SUCCESS One of our sterling young men who is making a success in the business world is Sidney P. Dones. Mr. Dones, ever since his arival a few years ago in our city, has by a close attention to business and staying with it, made a steady and sure progress. Starting in an humble way he today has a splendid business in the main part of the city which is a credit to not only himself and the race but to the city. There is room for many of Mr. Dones' type and our people should show their appreciation at all times to this class of our citizenship, who are doing so much to solve the problems that confront F. G. RANDLE FOR SUPER VISOR Having been urged by a number of friends, not only in Alhambra, but throughout the San Gabriel Valley, to become a candidate for supervisor, F. G. Randle of 700 Court street, Alhambra, has finally consented and will go into the race to be nominated and elected. Mr. Randle is well and favorably known in this section of the state. He is a republican and Californian and for the past ten years has resided in San Gabriel and Alhambra. For years he served San Gabriel as president of their Chamber of Commerce and is known as a successful orange grower. Mr. Randle is well qualified for the position, and no mistake would be made in his nomination and election. The Eagle man met Mr. Randle at his splendid home in Alhambra and found him a splendid gentleman. He expresses a sympathy for the man farthest down and as the great masses are the one farthest down, we feel that with his success the people would always have a friend at court. FOR JUDGE OF SUPERIOR COURT The Hon. J. W. Schenk is a candidate to succeed himself at the coming primaries, August 25th, 1914. There is no man whom the people of all classes can consciently give a hearty support than to Judge Schenk. He came up to his present position from the humblest walks of life, having served as a devil in a print shop, succeeding to the role of compositor, pressman, etc. Judge Schenk hails from Vermont state, where he was born and received his education at the Ohio Wesleyan University and graduated from the law school of Ann Arbor, Michigan. He has lived in Los Angeles for 14 years and has rendered distinguished service to his home city both as a public official and as a private citizen. Since he has been on this bench his decisions have been marked for their fairness and justice to all parties concerned, so that he is making an enviable record as a jurist. Judge Schenk served in the Spanish American war, being stationed at Porto Rico. The Eagle takes great pleasure in giving to him a hearty support. In times past, under a misapprehension as to the man, we may have withheld a support which we have many times bordered on wishing otherwise, but now we understand and commend his candidacy for the favorable consideration of our people. JUSTICE FRANK S. FORBES—ALWAYS THE NEGROE'S FRIEND Judge Forbes, who is at present Justice of the Peace, and has been for three years during which time he has tried over three thousand different cases, is candidate to succeed himself. Before being Justice of the Peace Judge Forbes was pastor of the Congregational church for twenty years. His last pastorate was at the East Congregational church. While pastor of this great church, Judge Forbes then Rev. Forbes made himself conspicuous because of the stand he took against lynching in the South and the annual collections raised by his congregation for the education of the Freedmen's children in the South. About ten years ago he delivered an address advocating similar THOMAS P. WHITE—POLICE JUDGE. treatment with regards to equal rights—politically, legally and socially for the black man as for the white man. The address was published by the oldest journal of Los Angeles. A year or more ago when Judge Forbes was addressing the Colored Men's Forum of this city his old feeling concerning abolition, antilynching, etc., engendered from his New England fore-fathers was keenly aroused when Ex-Editor Edmonds arose to his feet and reminded the patriotic politician and preacher that he still retained a copy of the address made by him ten years ago. Judge Forbes is not a selffish aspirant, but courageous to be of benefit to the depressed or disfranchised in all walks of life. Born in New England, educated at Oberlin in Ohio, where he met, studied with and enjoyed the friendship of Rev. F. Jessie Peck, Judge Forbes has the keenest appreciation and deepest sympathy for the struggles of the Negroes in this country. JUDGE THOS. P. WHITE FOR RE-ELECTION AS CITY JUSTICE The friends of Police Judge Thos. P. White are urging his nomination and re-election to the position of Justice of the Peace of Los Angeles city, in which capacity he sits ex-officio as police judge. Judge White was appointed to the bench in August, 1913, by the Board of Supervisors, to succeed Mayor H. H. Rose after his election as chief executive of the city. Since his appointment Judge White has made an enviable record on the bench. Judge White was born in Los Angeles and has resided here all his life. He received all of his education in the schools of this city and is a graduate of the College of Law of the University of South- THOMAS P. WHITE ern California, and from the day he left the law school until he was appointed to the bench he practiced law for himself and built up a very successful practice. He has had wide and varied experience in both civil and criminal cases and his conduct of the office of police judge has merited for him the commendation of all classes of people. Since taking his seat on the bench Judge White has been the author of many needed reforms, and though always acting in the interest of justice, he has never lost his belief in humanity nor overlooked an opportunity to help a deserving fellow man upon whom, for the time being, he might sit in judgment. Judge White now has pending before the city council of Los Angeles an ordinance which, if adopted, will be the means of enabling police judges to punish wife-beaters and other habitual offenders without bringing privation or suffering upon their families, because it provides that a police judge shall have power to order the payment of $1.50 per day to the families of these offenders during the defendant's incarceration. In the treatment of men who have unfortunately become addicted to the liquor habit Judge White has been particularly successful. Shortly after his election he realized that jail sentences failed to cure drunkenness and he went before the Board of Supervisors of this county and arranged with them so that he could com- GE C mit defendants charged with drunkenness to the county farm for treatment and outdoor work. In this way he has again exemplified his belief in the cause of humanity. In other words, as Judge White has often expressed himself: "If err I must, I would rather err on the side of humanity." An investigation of the record of this young jurist will convince the people of this city of the truth of the statement made to him in a petition signed by hundreds of people in Los Angeles, urging him to become a candidate to succeed himself, when they said "that the city would suffer a distinct and serious loss were it deprived of the services of one so able, just and humane as you are in the office of police judge." Acting as he is in a capacity where not only a keen insight into human nature, but a big heart tinged with sympathy but rooted on justice to all men alike is needed, Judge White is surpassed by few who have ever filled the same position which he now fills. J. VINGENT HANNON Honorable J. Vincent Hannon of the Los Angeles bar, has announced himself as a candidate for the position of Superior Court judge of this county, and his name will come before the electors of the county at the next primary election. Mr. Hannon's friends believe he possesses qualities commending him to public support and they gave out a letter to the voters of Los Angeles signed by a number of Los Angeles attorneys in which their estimate of Mr. Hannon and his candidacy is set forth. "Ladies and Gentlemen: "We E—POLICE JUDGE. the undersigned members of the bar, of this county, take great pleasure in indorsing Mr. Hannon's candidacy, and we sincerely trust that the electors of the county will see fit, in their wisdom, to select him for one of the ten judgships in this county, to be filled at the coming election. "Some of us have known Mr. Hannon since his boyhood days; others of us have known him since he first began his career as a mem- PETER H. ber of this bar; others have known him in the active practice as an attorney, but all of us take great pleasure in certifying to the fact that in Mr. Hannon we have always found not only a splendid gentleman, but an excellent, well equipped, competent lawyer, and one whom we not only believe but know from duction, mental qualification and practice will make a splendid judge, and we indorse him as being fully qualified in every respect for that position.

THE PHYS-ART-LIT-MO CUL- TURE CLUB For the first time since its or- ganization six months ago, the Phys-Art-Lit-Mo Culture Club of Los Angeles received a visitor at its meeting Friday afternoon, June 5, when the meeting .was held at the residence of Mrs. Charles Alex- ander, 1584 West 37t hstregt. The visitor was the distinguished Eu- ropean scientist and paleontolo- gist, Prof. H. M. Bernelot Moens of Holland. The ladies of the club were delighted with the. brief ud- dress delivered by their guest. Prof. Bernelot Moens is one of the greatest living naturalists. He is a specialist in the studies of em- bryology, paleontology and an- thropology. He is professor of zoology and botany in the Univer- sity of Amsterdam, Holland, and is on a tour of the world making studies of the various races. In his address he showed utter con- tempt for race prejudice and de- slared for the equality of the races of mankind. This ladies’ club is confined to a membership of twenty. The club meets every Friday afternoon at the residence of some member and engages in either art or needle work, the discussion of some well known author of standard litera- ture, listens to a paper dealing with moral ethics or receives in- struetion and direetion in physical training. The officers are: Mrs. J. J. Leggett, president; Mrs, J. A. Somerville, secretary; Mrs. G. A. McCullough, ‘assistant — seere- tary; Mrs. A. Hill, treasurer; Mrs. V. Vanderburg. critic. The work of ‘the club is divided into four groups: Physical training, under the: direction of Mrs. Eugene Walker; art needle work, under Mrs, G. E. Kelly; literature, under Mrs. Charles Alexander, and moral ethies, under Mrs. R. Batie. Pref. Bernelot Moans was in- troduced to the club by Prof. Charles Alexander. The president extended the most cordial wel- come and granted the great schol- ar perfect freedom to speak as he felt inclined. After Prof. Bernelot Moens had finished his address a vote of thanks was extended him and he expressed himself as highly delighted with the reception given him. A.M. E. ZION. * Ghurch Notes. .

Most faithfully yours, (Signed) JOHN D. REYNOLDS. The Oldest Pullman Porter in the Service Today. The subject of this sketch is Mr. D. G. Scott, who resides at 737 San Julian street, Los Angeles. He has worked in the capacity of Pullman porter for nearly 45 years. The Pullman Company was inaugurated in 1867 with a capital of $100,000. Now it is capitalized at $120,000,000. The Company then had but a few cars, less than a dozen. Now they have over 8000 Standard cars. Then the Porters were willing to work for the $15 wage because the tips were 100 per cent more than then now. For 12 or 15 years their salary was $15, then it was raised to $25. This they drew until the year 1910, when they received a 10 per cent raise, making their monthly salary $27.50. But the good old days are passed. The subject of this article is a dear old friend of mine, and I guess of everybody who knows him—for he is the most agreeable and pleasant person you ever met. There is that smile to greet you always. Every employee, from a car-cleaner to the officials of the road, respect him. Over 20 years ago he lost a beloved wife, he says, leaving him five little girls. For the sake of these little ones—the eldest, I believe, was only 12—he made a great sacrifice by remaining single while many opportunities presented themselves, but were rejected, knowing that while she may prove a good wife, she could never have the necessary love and patience with another woman's children. Mr. Scott has lived an exemplary life—sober, industrious and economical. By so doing, he sees the results of his labors in his declining year. He is as healthy and as hearty as is possible for one of his age. He has all of his natural teeth, which are as sound as those of a young person. What is old age? ```markdown ``` OF CALIFORNIA!

Maile, a veteran of the Civil War, delivered three memorial addresses May 30, beginning with his own morning service at the Olivet Congregational church, and at the Hollenbeck home in the afternoon and Vernon Congregational church in the evening. In his address Dr. Maile took for his text, "These stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel forever," and said: "In place of a pile of stones, we have the great Civil War as a memorial of a nation saved. "The chief significance of the American nation is found in the facts which marked its beginning." Judge Robert W. McDonald to day announced his candidacy for Justice of the Peace, to succeed himself. 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. Donald 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 alternative sentnce 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. Judge McDonald's plan for reforming drunkards has been in that time that he has occu- adopted by many police courts pied both positions, Judge Mc- throughout this state.

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 suport. 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. 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 Supervisors 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 non-partisan, and I believe that 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. FRANK C. DUNHAM Mr. Dunham during his incumbency of this office has by his fairness in his decisions and even handed justice made an enviable record and the people will render to him a strong and hearty support at the primaries and election.

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 saying 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. To 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 ask 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 the 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. Save your money and come with your family and enjoy this great outing. Tel. Main 4525 McDowell & Barnett LAWYERS 36-7 Canadian Building 432 So Main St. H. S. A.

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 enlargement, 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 build- ATED ALL STATES Are Invited to Join in Celebrating Patriotic Speeches will be made by representatives of Each State.

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 business district.

It was decided upon to use the Odd Fellows' hall for our future meeting place the fourth Thursday in every month. The daintiness with which the luncheon was served could not have been surpassed. The chicken salad and coffee were delicious, and the cakes—which were prepared by Mr. Daniels for his Kentucky friends—were voted more than excellent by the guests.

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 candidates for the lower house of the legislature, having been third in a field of seven. Mr. James, who is a wholesale produce and commission 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 before 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. Divorced White Man to Marry Pretty Afro-American Girl. Arthur Freed, a well-to-do white man, and Miss Elzena Norris, a pretty and winsome Afro-American girl, both of Terre Haute, Ind., were arrested here early this week on suspicion of having violated the Mann Act. After a thorough investigation they were released, as it developed that the couple were en route to Canada to be married. Just why they had decided to travel that distance could not be contained; the ceremony could have been performed anywhere in Illinois. Freed, the man in the case, been in the grocery business Terre Haute, but a month ago was divorced from his wife, a wi woman, after which he sold business.
