The Eagle Will Keep You Fully Posted on All the Issues The Eag THE POLITICAL As to Colored Voters of State in BY J. B THE POLITICAL SITUATION AS TO COLORED VOTERS BY J. B. BASS. The tom toms are now being beaten, the cymbals are sounding and the grand galaxy of patriots willing to offer themselves up as sacrifices for the honor and the emoluments of public position are legion. Under the new regime and edict the password of the hour is non-partisanship for almost everything in sight, practically every office, with the exception of governor, members of Congress and for the Assembly, comes this year under the head of non-partisan. But while this is the theory it remains to be seen what will be the practice and only the primaries on August 25 will tell the story. But for all that the campaign now in its incipiency is developing many side lights, which are not only educational but are amusing to the highest degree. As a result of the Eagle's watchful eye it is a foregone conclusion that Jim Grow managerialship will not be in vogue. In many cases the wise guy is already locking the barn after the horse is stolen, the piker and grafter comes, strikes a blow and is gone. When the man comes who has got the real work, the astute manager scratches his head and says, "I have been stung." The lightning bug campaign sheet is at hand with their pocket circulation, but who blames the boys from hustling; this is a political year and it is hustle while the going is good and suckers are plenty. Next comes the preacher politician who is in the market of political leadership, lining up with any old body to get to the politician who he thinks will pass him a few shekels; he glides in and out, but glide as he will he can not escape the Eagle's eye and we at all time shave his number. Well, the preacher politician has also got to do the best he can, and who is to blame him, even though it lessens the dignity of his church to do this cheap polities?. The thing looks good and he takes the chance. And now comes the professional politician and the gum shoe man who also slips and slides around and is always, he thinks, on the inside and confidential. He represents his personal following of course. He is the bunk but who can blame him? He is hustling and doing what he can to help save the country. Next come the divers and various organizations which have banded themselves together for what? To help those who want help, and they do come in for their part in this Titanic struggle for place. So the political situation is prolific in developing all of the various phases that go to make up a campaign wherein there is a mul- Volume 27 tiplicity of candidates. And it really is a conundrum for the manager no matter how astute he is, to line up just the thing to do for the best interests of his principal. POLITICAL FLASHES George A. Boden is making a winning race for judge of the superior court. He is worthy of the strong support that he is receiving from all classes. The lien up on district attorney is not as yet defined and the colored vote on the same is an unknown quantity. Seventeen thousand five hundred voters is a conservative estimate of the colored vote in Los Angeles county. Judge Craig is a strong favorite and receiving a splendid support. He looks to be a sure winner. E. W. Hopkins seems to have a walk away for the office which he now holds. Col. W. W. Phillips of Fresno for state treasurer is a war horse and worthy of the support of the colored voters throughout the state. For sheriff of Tulare county W. W. Collins is the favorite and will get a strong support from our people. Ira Chrisman, also of Tulare county, is entitled to a united support for recorder. Jundge Smith, of Fresno, is a great friend to the colored people and they will remember their friends. In Stockton W. H. Reichs, the genial sheriff, has almost the united support of the colored voters. He will be a winner. D. W. Moulton, of San Diego, has the support of all classes for re-election. G. I. Davis, of Modesto, is the man for sheriff of Stanislaus county. The colored voters are with him to a man. Tony Love, of Visalia, is arranging for a big meeting in that city to be addressed by the editor of the Eagle, who will speak on the political issues of the day. Oscar Over, of Allensworth, is one of the leading forces in the political world of the San Joaquin bright things in the future. Elmer McDowell will be one of the winners in the coming primaries for superior judge. He has the strong forces with him. If the district attorney fight assumes an Earl and goo-goo tint, there is only one place for the black phalanx to go. Some of the judges seem to Los Angeles, Cal., JUNE 20, 1914 WILL SOUND THE ALARM. THE EAGLE has not only a large local circulation; it covers the State as well. For things political, as well as otherwise, it is our aim to keep our people posted up to the minute. We shall therefore Sound THE ALARM at any approaching danger; the men who seek your suffrage and who are broad and stand for equal justice to all, do not hesitate to seek the same through this or some other race journal of standing. In other words, if they appreciate the same they will not hesitate to seek the same through the medium of your own press. We shall continue to keep our ears to the grass roots, and at the sound of approaching danger will spring, he alarm. even though it be a funeral occasion; that everlasting optimism will be buried only during the service; that being over it will break out again as the sun breaks through the clouds. They will greet friends and meet each other in an optimistic manner. Being an optimist is the Negros strongest weapon; it is the one which has carried him through all of the adversities of life and made life worth the living. A person dies the funeral comes; he turns out, pays the last tribute of respect. The fact that after the service he looks around, sees friends that he has not seen for many days perhaps, he greets them, not as a pessimist but as a full grown healthy optimist; neighbors and friends meet and greet each other and in this we can certainly see no disrespect. The solemnity is over, the relaxation is on, gloom has vanished and if the long face has a place it is no longer for the dead, for the subject of the funeral is just as dead as he can ever be, hence there is no necessity for the and Stripes flying from the top, a slave chained at the bottom of the pole, being lashed by his master because he was too old and feeble to work; nearby was an auction block from which another slave was being sold to the highest bidder; another illustration was the picture of Charles Sumner being knocked down in the halls of the United States Senate by a cane in the hands of a congressman from South Carolina. This picture was made into a party platform and was used in the Fremont campaign of 1856 to create sentiment in the North against the institution of slavery. When a small child Judge Forbes was given one of these platforms to amuse himself by looking at the illustration. He says that it made such an impression upon his mind that he has always looked upon slavery as the darkest crime of the ages, and upon race prejudice as one of the deepest sins of humanity. For this reason he has always taken a special interest in the progress of the colored people and has given many addresses for the think themselves so secure in their places that they have entered a conspiracy to withhold any recognition to the press. In this they can make a fatal mistake. If they should develop weakness in the primaries it spells their doom. LAST SUNDAY'S MEETING AT THE FORUM Last Sunday's meeting at the Forum at the beginning seemed to be an off one. But not for long, as someone suggested that a sentiment be crystallized to the end that our people be more decorous at funerals. It was related that at the funerals, instead of sorrow reigning supreme, they were the sceens of levity and oftimes boisterous conduct. The discussion on this subject waxed warm. The orators and theorists all expressed themselves in various degrees of warmth on the different phases of the subject. The writer is of the opinion that the matter of disrespect at our funerals is erroneous. There is not a people on God's earth that are more awe stricken and have more reverence at death than the Negro, and it is often said that it has been a bane on his progress or one of the weights against it. As to the funeral itself it is only a question of time when the public funeral will be abolished. Already in many of the cities, opening the casket for the last look has been entirely abolished, and in time the custom of public funerals will be entirely discontinued. But be that as it may that time will have to arrive before our people will cease to be optimistic, sorrow song for those outside of his immediate family circle. The Negro has for night unto 300 years sung the sorrow songs in this country and he perhaps thinks the era for rejoicing is at hand. Certain it is his optimism is great and has carried him thus far and the charge that he lacks respect on funeral occasion is a groundless one for it is only an exuberance of his ever present optimism that is father to the charge. JUSTICE FRANK S. FORBES—ALWAYS THE NEGROE'S FRIEND Justice Frank S. Forbes, who is a candidate for re-election, was born of Abolition parentage in Maine, too late to enter the Civil War himself, but he had eight uncles and two cousins who served in the Union army. One of his uncles was the originator of a large picture representing a scene in the days of slavery. There was a liberty pole with the Stars An Appeal for A Worthy Institution The Only Institution of its Kind Conducted by Our People West of the Missouri River. purpose of raising money for the education of colored children in the schools of the South conducted by the church of which he was pastor for several years. He has also addressed several congregations in the colored churches of this city, and tells the writer that there are no people who are more appreciative listeners than the congregations of the colored churches which he has addressed in this city. The colored voters of this city will find no warmer friend nor one who will take more interest in their welfare than Justice Forbes. THE WOMAN'S DAY NUR SERY OF LOS ANGELES Has the distinction of being the only colored institution of its kind in the west. A mortgage of eight hundred dollars, which the association was compelled to borrow in order to put the property in good condition, hangs over their heads. Only eight hundred dollars! Less than the amount, or half the amount that hundreds of Los Angeles residents have invested in an automobile, from which only a few are able to derive pleasure. Only eight hundred dollars is needed to raise the mortgage from the Woman's Day Nursery, at 1323 Channing street; but that eight hundred dollars will furnish more real solid comfort to a greater number of persons than fifty automobiles could; working women, many of them widows, all of them women who are forced into employment in order to furnish daily bread for themselves and families, these are the ones benefited by this institution. Those who are able to pay something for the service of the nursery, are made the nominal charge of only eight dollars a month, but those whom payment would be a hardship, the use of the institution is given free. The children are left in charge of competent nurses who bathe the children on entering, fed and given clothing and cared for as well as they would be in their own home. The baby ward and dormitory are well lighted and ventilated. So far the nursery has been supported by those in charge and their friends, but with the nearing approach of the day when the mortgage on the property becomes due an appeal is made for outside assistance. Here is a philanthropic endeavor that is really worth your best support. Not only are financial contributions needed, but also clothing and shoes, the cast-off garments of your children would be most helpful and most gratefully received. Money spent for mothers and children! What better cause can be found? Save the children and you save the nation. Philanthropy for the benefit of the old serves individuals only, but work for the young affects generations yet unborn. As yet there is no kindergarten the Issues for thy Institution its Kind Conducted by of the Missouri River. the only feature lacking to make it complete, where the children get their early training and their life moulded by association, example and discipline; also taught as well as amused with picture books, alphabet blocks, pencils, paper, etc. Mrs. Tracy, the head nurse, has a little eight months old baby, the youngest in the nursery at this time. There are no bad boys or girls except as we make them bad in the school or in the home, and there are no bad men or bad women in the world except as they have been made bad in the home or in the school or in the community at large. They should be taught that goodness is better than greatness; cleanliness, economy, honesty, truthfulness and obedience. Many children are victims of heredity and environment, but environment is stronger than heredity. Environment can be transformed and improved. The child is influenced by its environments and can be cured of any objectionable traits that it inherits by good environment and association. Most of these little ones are children of widows, or of women whose husbands are unable or unwilling to work. Ten cents a day is all that is charged for children whose mothers are able to pay. Mrs. J. A. Somerville, the president of the organization, who is working hard to meet these obligations, seems optimistic in her efforts to raise the eight hundred dollars required to pay off the mortgage which will leave the property free of debt.

Washington entertained the colored physicians of the city Wednesday evening, June 17, at his residence. At the elaborate spread prepared by Mrs. Gordon, medical and scientific topics were freely discussed by the guests and the need of a colored hospital was foremost in the minds of all present. The suggestion was put by the host that all the physicians organize themselves into a State Medical Society for the cultivation of professional fellowship, for the exchange of professional experiences, for the adancement of medical knowledge and the promotion in general the interests and welfare of the public. This idea resulted in a motion by Dr. Outlaw, seconded by Dr. Taylor that a temporary organization be formed to organize such a society. Dr. Gordon was elected chairman and Dr. Ballard, secretary. The next meeting to be held at the offices of Drs. Stovall and Ballard, Wednesday, June 24. The doctors present were, Drs. J. S. Outlaw, Geo. D. Taylor, Leonard Stovall and Claudius Ballard.

Craigg, 4324 Chestnut street, on Tuesday, June 16, at 2:30 p. m. 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. Prof. Charles Alexander left last Wednesday for the North to fill several engagements. The people of the North will do well if they hear Prof. Alexander in his revised lectures on Dunbar, the Afro-American Lyric poet.

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 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.

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. CHEFS - MAIDS RED CAPS HOTEL MEN, ETC.

John L. 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 or 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 acts which marked its beginning." Some are younger at 65 than others at 40: Old age is not marked by years, but by the stiff joints, dry tissues and thin, impoverished blood. Many people complain of being old at 40. They can't do this, and they can't do that. They begin to act old—and they are older in appearance than many who are much more advanced in years. Conductors Charged With Violating Clause In Hepburn Act. United States deputies arrested W. A. Boyer and E. E. Crist conductors of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad of Indiana at Cincinnati a few days ago, charging them with violation of the Hepburn Act by permitting passengers to ride between Chicago and Chesapeake for less than the legal fare. Boyer was arrested as his train was leaving for Chicago, and Crist was taken into custody when his train arrived from Chicago. The arrests are the first of a number that will soon be made by Federal officials. Not only conductors are concerned, but men in various commercial pursuits known as "scouts" for the conductors are involved. The "scouts" introduced the passengers to the conductors, it is alleged, and shared in the profits. It is understood that passengers were carried in the C. & O. case for $3.00 when the fare should have been $6.10. There have been specific rumors that the present disclosures are the first of an important series of conspiracies which the Federal agencies have uncovered. In Pittaburgh suits were entered against two train dispatchers and one assistant trainmaster of the Pennsylvania for violation of the Federal act limiting the service of railroad employees to sixteen hours a day. Company Holds Record for Ownership of Dining Cars. Passengers traveling on Southern Pacige trains needn't worry about eating accommodations nowadays, for with the purchase of six new Pullman dining cars the southern Pacific Co. this month gained the distinction of owning and operating more dining cars than any other railroad in America, and the record probably holds good for the world. The company now owns 105 diners, five more than a Canadian railroad which is its nearest rival in America for the distinction in the United States.

They were delivered this month and will be pressed into service immediately. In addition to the 105 cars, the Company possesses forty-two observation cars, in general use on its lines, one lunch car, which when experimented with proved a decided success, and two cafe cars. In addition the Company operates five r-staurants and sixteen boats on which dining accommodations are to be found, all under the supervision of Allan Pollok, superintendent of the dining car, hotel and restaurant department. The Company is rigorous in its demand for the most extreme sanitary conditions and cleanliness on its diner system. Hotel Service.—Complaint That American Waiters Are No Up to the European Type. "America still leads the world in the quality of her hotel tables, but France and Germany lead us in service." The above dictum of a prominent New York hotel man is at once a compliment and a criticism, and naturally we are more interested in the latter. Allowing the praise of our tables to stand, we want to know whether it is a fact that American hotel service is not all that it might be, and, if so, what are the causes of its comparative inferiority. Assuming that the chief requisites in a waiter are that he shall be clean, quick and polite, it must be admitted that in the two first-named virtues the American table artist is second to none. The most important point upon which his supremacy is open to question is that of politeness, and even here our critics too often imagine that servility is an essential of civility. Accustomed to the bow, the scrape and the spineless deference of the European attendant, many travelers are painfully surprised to see the American waiter stand in an upright position, talk as if he had a soul of his own and generally comport himself as though he were a man and not a serf fearful of displeasing their imperial majesties, the present customers. True, there are some of our waiters who in their anxiety to assert the doctrine of human equality, overstep the mark and make their patrons feel as abject as the European waiter looks. But, these walking declarations of independence are a small minority. The majority assume a pleasantness, even if they have it not by nature, for they are ever mindful of the prospective tip. As President Wilson says of the prevailing depression, the prevailing impression of the American waiter's shortage on politeness is psychological. European visitors imagine that he is so impolite simply because he is not so obsequious as the typical servant of their own HARBOR PROPERTY See H. H. Williams about Wil- mington Harbor property.

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.

Cooksey, Instruction on the Piano. at the Pullman Barber Shop, 519 Ceres avenue. Subscriptions taken, office 1034 East 9th street, Los Angeles, The California Eagle. Sidney P. Dones was recently appointed special agent for the Occidental Fire Insurance Co. of Albuquerque, New Mexico, a big company with a paid up capital stock of $200,000.00. Mr. Dones is the first colored man to act as special agent for this company. This shows that the company fully realizes the value of a good trustworthy capable representative who is to handle thousands of dollars' of this company's funds annually. The Eagle desires that every colored citizens who is paying one dollar's worth of fire insurance to see to it that it comes through Mr. Dones' office. There is $20,000 spent annually in fire insurance by colored people in Los Angeles county. Why not let a member of your own race do this vast amount of business? This company insures houses, barns, garages, furniture, fixtures, pianos, trunks, grocery stores, dry goods stores, furniture stores, and in fact, anything that any other reliable company will write. Since Mr. Dones was commissioned as special agent for this company he has enlarged his office. He now has suite 412-414-415 Germain building, 224 S. Spring street. Associated with Mr. Dones is Mr. C. A. Jones, attorney at law, and Mr. K. C. Venerable, real estate broker. They have departments to efficiently handle all such business as fire insurance, real estate, rentals, loans, managing estates, legal papers, wills, affidavits, damage suits, practice in all the courts. We solicit the patronage of our race. To Tell Australians About Tips in America. Australia is said to have a notion that America has its hand out, palm up. To counteract this impression, for the purpose of encouraging travel between the Antipodes and England, a San Francisco steamship company is preparing to make a campaign of enlightenment in Australia, according to an announcement made today. Australians are to be given the following information: "Generally speaking, 'tips' in the United States should be no more in [the aggregate than in England, although the number, of persons who have to be 'tipped' is fewer. "In restaurants or hotel cafes, keep to the 16 per cent rule. Bell boys should get 5—possibly 10—cents for a service. The maid at a hotel should receive a small gratuity—say about 50c per week." Barbers in hotels expect a 10c tip, the information adds and hote elevator boys should be tipped at the rate of 25 cents a week. Sleeping car porters should be allowed about 25c a day, "although if the traveler seems exceedingly prosperous this might be stretched to 50 cents." Indian Is an Indian, Full Blood or Not, Says Supreme Court An Indian is an Indian legally, even though the blood of other races flow in his viens. This definition, which settles an important question in federal jurisprudence is provided in a recent ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States, according to a statement to Judge Olin Wellborn yesterday by Assistant United States Attorney Duke Stone, when the case of the Government against G. H. Bublitz was called. Bublitz w.'s convicted some time ago of selling liquor to an Indian—Augustine Benegas. Proof that Behegas is not a full-blood Indian caused the verdict to be set aside But the Supreme Court says that a man having Indian blood in his visus is an Indian in the eyes of the law.

If President Wilson5s two chums have fallen out, which one will he cleave to? We hardly think any Jim Crow management will be tolerated in the pending campaign. Gov. Sulzer has decided to enter the gubernatorial race in New York again. He no doubt will be heard from all along the line. We are glad to be able to say that from letters we receive daily and what comes to us personally, the great masses of the people are with us in our efforts to safeguard the interests of a race. 1 Congress ought to become ashamed of itself and adjourn, for goodness sake give us a rest. It is a case of too much of a good thing. The people are tired of it. The Rose and Morgan controversy seems to overshadow everything else in the district attorney muddle just now, and who will guess where it will end. We are for the proposition of a new charter. We believe that whoever is at the head of the city should be responsible for the administration of its affairs. The way it is at present the mayor is only a figurehead and sits subject to the whims of a whimsical council. With a council that fails to protect its citizens in their civil rights there is no reason why the petition for the recall should dnot in a short time have sufficient names to accomplish that result. WAS NO REFLECTION ON MR. FORD Our article on the front page of our last issue which caused such a flurry in political circles on the appearance of the Eagle on last Saturday was not meant in any way as a reflection on Mr. Ford, who is a candidate for ditsrict attorney. In fairness to him we want to state that from all that we know of him or that we can learn that he is a good friend to the colored people and would not countenance for one moment anything that would tend to humiliate them or that would retard their progress. He expressed to us a sincere regret that any misunderstanding whatever had occurred and we feel safe in saying that the mere fact that Mr. Ford's attention has been called to the incident is a sufficient guarantee that no member of the race will ever have opportunity to take offense at the UTILATE his candidacy can find no solace George P. Adams. He has never in our criticism of his manager as held public office of any kind campaign thunder against Mr. either as principal or deputy. Ford. If we were to oppose him we would find other ways to do so, than over the shoulders of his management. JUDGE J. W. SUMMERFIELD FOR RE-ELECTION Judge J. W. Summerfield announces his candidacy for re-election to the office of justice of the peace of Los Angeles township. The information is given out under date of June 15th, that a conference was recently held by the friends and ardent supporters of Judge Summerfield, at which he was strongly urged, by those representing many varied interests, and persuaded to again become a candidate for the office of township justice. There is something significant about this information, coming as it does from the many friends of the judge and men engaged in all lines of business, who are gratified to learn of his final decision to allow his name to go before the public and to express his willingness to again serve in that capacity; and they have pledged their hearty support and co-operation in furthering his candidacy for the same office he has so ably filled for the past eight PETER H. years. He has been a resident of this county for more than thirty years, having been educated from boyhood in our county schools, graduated from the College of Law of the University of Southern California in 1901, admitted to practice in the Superior and Supreme Courts of the State and to the circuit and district courts of the United States. Judge Summerfield is one of our old time justices, and while it is not his province to question the advisability of the laws upon our statute books, he believes it his duty to enforce them as they are proven applicable to the case at bar. We are glad to see men of mature years and extensive experience in the practice and administration of our laws so unselfish as to lay aside their personal ambition obtainable through private practice and willing to continue in the public service wherein the people believe their legal ability and judicial temperament qualify them to best serve the public at large. We bespeak for him the same general popular vote which will return him upon the bench. JNO. L. FLEMING FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE One of the staunch friends of the colored citizens and one who has proved the same is Mr. John L. Fleming, his fight for the existence of one of our foremost fraternal orders, the U. B. F. and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, are well known and the members of these orders are strong for him to anything to which he may aspire. Mr. Fleming is a strong contender for superior judge and we take great pleasure in commending his candidacy to our people for their favorable consideration. Mr. Fleming was born at Downey, in Los Angeles county, California, in 1876, and has resided in the county all his life. He received his legal training in the Los Angeles Law School, and in CANNOT BE IMPROVED M. H. Since his admission to the bar, in April, 1900, his time has been devoted to the general practice, both civil land criminal. He has adopted as his campaign slogan the words, "If you do not know him, ask your lawyer," believing that his qualifications for the office are best known to his brother members of the bar, and he is willing to abide by their opinion. He is a member of Hollenbeck Lodge, No. 319, F. & A. M.; Worthy Patron of Hollenbeck Chapter, No. 248, O. E. S.; member East Gate Chapter, No. 103, R. A. M., Helmet Lodge, No. 25, K.

Owing to errors in our make-up last issue the same was published in a disconnected way. With apologies for the same we gladly publish the same this issue in proper form. F. G. TYRELL FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT One of the strongest personalities we have met is the Hon. F.G. Tyrell, who is one of the leading candidates for judge of the superior court and who is receiving a strong support from all classes. Mr. Tyrell's wide and varied ex- PETER H. HARRIS perience as a barrister eminently qualifies him for a place on the bench, and from all we can learn his support for this position is such that there is little question of his nomination. We are glad to commend his candidacy to our family of readers. PROF. C. A.

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. Car Co-workers: I have been, as Moderator of the General Baptist Association, with the Young People's Chauauqua 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 plan 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 the people of the Bay District preparing to run an excursion at 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 grounds. 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. THE NEGRO WOMAN IN AMERICA "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 Hebrew maiden for thirty years. Man, in his lofty position as lord of the universe, has never in all the history of the world been so signally favored as woman, whose body and blood was joined to that of Divinity to produce a Messiah. The first woman, in an evil hour, forgot her great responsibility as mother of the human race, and brought down the course of an avenging God upon the head of woman from generation to generation, from century to century. Mary, the mother of Christ, has atoned for the folly of Eve and secured a benediction for woman for all ages to come. 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 cast 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, in the broiling hot sun, with horse and oxen picking cotton, planting cane or digging ditches. Her daughter, with skin of a 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, in 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 Wheally, who 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 achievements the women of Los Angeles have erected a splendid Edifice, a most fitting memorial. 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 eve-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 justice 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, Sisserretta Jones and Azalia 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, Catherine 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 thoughtlessly receive the blessings that she, born in slavery, CANNOT BE IMPROVED 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, annul matrimony, sanction new-fangled beliefs and latter-day creeds, which slight the well-grounded, though old fashioned truths of the sacred Bible? Will the children of Ethiopia forget the hand that broke the chain of bondage? Will this young generation of a deeply religious people be ungrateful to their God? 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? These questions, fraught with so much consequence to the generations of the future must be answered individually, in those still, dark hours, When, "questioneth the soul that other soul; The inner sense which neither cheats nor lies, But self exposes unto self a scroll Full writ with all life's acts unwise or wise, In characters indelible and known; So, trembling with the shock of sad surprise, The soul doth view its awful self alone, Ere sleep comes down to sooth the weary eyes." Stern mothers of a coming race! The future, colored black or blue, With guile or virtue on its face Will e'en be marred or made by you. The thoughts you dream from morn to morn, The lives you live will deeply mold The countless souls of men unborn, For generations yet untold. No needs of ours are doomed to die! Our crumbling forms resolved in air Will seek the dust; but not the sigh Of discontent, or whispered prayer. The men of ages passed away, Are living every hour in you, And you, for many a distant day, Will live in nations strong and true. O, women of the Colored race! Be earnest, prayerful, brave and wise, O, leave upon this age, your trace Of noble deeds and sacrifice. Erase from "black" the sting of shame, So live and work that men may know, That 'Negro' spells a worthy name, Arisen from the depths of woe. Tel.
