The Eagle Is Making Its Final And Biggest Fight For Those Candidates Who Will Best Serve The People. Volume 27 The Ea For Away with Who Would Preach God's Creation, And Remain THE NEGRO'S PART IN THE MAKING OF AMERICAN HISTORY We are publishing here an address as it appeared in the Los Angeles Times of July 27th, made by one Rev. W. L. Y. Davis at the West Adams M. E. church last Sunday evening, and we hope that every reader of The Eagle will read carefully the address and our comment upon the same. REV. W. L. Y. DAVIS West Adams M. E. Church America Is the Promised Land to Thousands; Shall We Refuse to Welcome Them "What Will You Do When the Black Man Comes?" was the subject of the sermon preached in the West Adams Methodist Episcopal Church by Rev. W. L. Y. Davis last evening. He said in part: "With the wedding of the two oceans new children of commerce will come to our coasts. At the present time, Los Angeles is the most truly American city of size in the country. It has skimmed off the cream of the East and Middle West. But it should be remembered that cream sours more quickly than plain milk. God intends no man to retire. He has gathered the best people here to do His greatest work. "It will not do to cry, 'exclusion.' That is the coward's way of settling the question. You cannot push the hand of God away so easily. His hand is too big. "Foreigners already manufacture one-half our shoes, make one-half our collars and shirts, mine seven-tenths of our coal, weave eight-tenths of our woolens, build four-fifths of our furniture, pack 85 per cent of our meat, make nineteen-twentieths of our clothes, and refine 95 per cent of our sugar. And yet we call them our problem. "Is history in any danger of repeating itself. We bought (North as well as South), fourteen black men over here to slave for us in 1614. There are 12,000,000 of them now. He has already cost us a Civil War and millions of lives and billions of treasure. We cast him into black slavery, and now he is after our fair ones for a white slavery. There have been fourteen lynchings thus far in 1914. He is still coming "We are repeating ourselves and turning our drudgery over to the new immigrants. What will you do when the yellow man comes? What will you do when the brown man comes? He is coming! "We call them 'dagos'. And yet it was a dago who wrote Homer's Iliad; it was a dago who delivered those matchless orations of Demosthenes. Three hundred dagos held the Pass of Thermopylae." "It was a dago who wrote Vorgil's Aeneid. A dago delivered those matchless orations against Cataline; a dog conquered Transalpin Gaul; a dago painted that famous Madonna; a dago climbed the rafters of that great cathedral and spread the glories of transfiguration there. A dago discovered America! That coin we toss so idly into the melting pot has the image and superscription of Caesar upon it! "We call them 'greasers!' But it was a greaser's wife who took off her jewels and gave them to Columbus to fit out his caravals for discovery; a greaser climbed the mountains of Panama and found the Pacific ocean; a greaser planted the first trees and rose vines in California. "We call them 'sheenies!' It was a sheeny who went up into the mountains and obtained the Ten Tables of the Law; a sheeny wrote, 'The Lord Is My Shepherd;' two sheenys sang that night in the Philippian jail; and when 'God so loved the world, that' some one must be sent to save. He sent (I say it reverently,) a 'sheeny!' "We call them Japs and chinks! And we try to build a wall so high—another Chinese Wall—that none may be able to enter "And yet they come. Do you know why so many are being drawn to America? It is another exodus to a Promised Land! They are being led by a cloud reddened by Jehovah! "Do you know why the world is looking to America? Do you know why they are buying tickets to our shores by the hundreds of thousands? Do you know why they are willing to be crowded into foul smelling emigrant ships and leave their fatherland and come here? Do you know the hidden magnetism that is pulling upon all peoples of the earth? "They are drawn here by Christ! Did He not say, 'And I if I be lifted up, will draw!' Christ has been lifted up by His followers in this land, and the country is radiant with His glory! "Then shall we talk about money? Shall we talk about alien land ownership? Shall we prate color? Give them Jesus! "America is the melting pot! Are we to let the fires lie down? "Shall we be Philistines and fight them off from the Promised Land?" In our opinion the address is more rhetorical than truthful. In glowing terms the orator amplifies as well as praises the role played by the "dago" (Italian) as he was wont to call him in the establishment of the colonies and the making of American history. The "sheeny" or Jew also comes in for a large amount of praise for the excellent work done by him in helping to make America the ideal of civilization. But concerning the "blacks" of America, he tells us that "in 1614 fourteen were brought over to slave for us. Since that time they have increased to 12,000,000. They have cost a Civil war and millions of lives and billions of treasure. We cast him into black slavery and now he is after our fair ones for white slavery." Our objection to Rev. Davis reference to the American blacks is that it is too nearly akin to the sentiment created by Thomas Dixon in "The Clansman" or that advocated by Tillman Vardemann, Hoke Smith and other Negro haters of the South. Since it is this sort of sentiment that causes the bitterest hatred between the two races. We are not oblivious of our shortcomings, Mr. Preacher, and even though historians of every species of God's creation tell us that we have made greater progress along all lines than any other people having ben subjected to the same experience, we feel keenly the responsibility that is imposed upon us as a people—that of hewing out our own destiny in the face of the cruelest sort of oppression. For there is no oppression so poignantly felt, not even chattel slavery, as the deprivation of civil rights in a country or community where any people has labored and toiled and even amassed some of its wealth. You tell the great reading public simply that in 1614 these four California Los Angeles, Cal., AUG. 1, 1914 teen black men were brought over, since which time they have increased to 12,000,000; they have been only expense to the country, and now that they are freed from chattel slavery they would enslave your fair sex in a way that only blood shedding could pay the penalty. If you have read history you remember the indescribable cruelties of the "slaver" with her wrangling chains as she plied up and down the African coast catching and chaining black men to her decks, making merchandise of men to satisfy the demands of your forefathers. And so these 12,000,000 black sons of America are not merely the outgrowth of the fourteen that were brought over in 1614. In your timely address you failed to recognize the Negro other than as past expense and a future danger. You forget that it was these hoary blacks who filled the forests, made the roads, planted the tobacco of Virginia and even in times of war aided the white colonists in protecting their wives and daughters from savage brutality. You forget that during thirty-two years the number of Negroes lynched in the United States were 2,998, an average of one every three days, and investigation when it was made has shown that not five out of every ten were not guilty of the crime accredited to him or her. You forget that within the scope of fifty years the Negro has accumulated wealth in real estate or cash amounting to more than a billion dollars; has reduced the illiteracy of the race to less than ten per cent; have written histories, yea even Greek histories that adorn the shelves of the leading institutions of this country; produced scientists, musicians, pedagogues, poets, authors, editors, that compare favorably with those of white skins. And were I to trace him more closely as an American builder I am sure I could prove to you that he has been and is identified with every movement that stands for the development, peace and prosperity of this country. Benefits which the Federal, State and County governments have derived from civil service were enumerated yesterday by Chief Deputy District Attorney W J. Ford, when he spoke to the members of his campaign committee. Ford, who is a candidate for district attorney, reviewed the history of the "spoils system," and showed how the people were prevented by this from having efficiency in the public service. W. J. FORD "I believe in civil service," Ford said. "Efficiency is the first thing to be considered in the administration of governmental affairs. Experience has demonstrated that public servants must have proper training. Proper training means experience. Efficient, faithful and tried employees in the public service should not be sacrificed to the whims of politicians. Civil service reform protects against these changes, and therefore I believe in civil service. Angeles County any controversy has arisen as to civil service. However, in this controversy, the principle of civil service is not involved. The only question that has arisen is the manner of putting it into effect. Should provision for civil service be made in the charter, subject to the approval of the State Legislature, or should provision for civil service be made by ordinance enacted either by the Board of Supervisors or by the people of the county under an Initiative Ordinance, independent of the State Legislature? "The courts are now investigating the legality of the charter method of instituting civil service. If the courts find the charter method to be illegal, civil service can be instituted by an ordinance of the Board of Supervisors; and if the Supervisors fail to institute civil service, the people have it in their power directly to adopt an ordinance establishing civil service. All this litigation could be stopped at once by the adoption of an ordinance. Then there would be no question for the courts to decide. "There is no doubt but that the spirit of civil service is efficiency. The motto of civil service is to keep good men in office; men who have made good; public servants who have been tried. I believe that in local politics, where there are no party lines, the voters should apply this rule of civil service to the various candidates, and measure them solely by their qualifications." Mr. Ford, in continuing, pointed out that civil service has done much for the women of Los Angeles City: Under the civil service regulations in the city many women are given opportunity to fill important positions. Ford's remarks were given considerate attention by those who heard him. SIR W. B. RICH California Representative Making Popular Run. Los Angeles is in the race for the next Grand Session of the Arkansas and California jurisdiction. The following speech was made by Sir W. B. Rich, J. D. G. M. for California; Sir I. G. C. G. M.; Sir Knights and Daughters: I can assure you it affords me great pleasure to present to you the most beautiful city in the United States for our grand and noble Order to meet in next year—a city located in a land of sunshine, where excessive heat is unknown, where thunder storms are never heard—a city where the southern dragon of race hatred is unknown—a city where our delegates may roam at ease and breathe the air of sweet liberty in every nook and corner of a city of 550,000. Will you come to a city where resides the best homes, the best dressed women and men in the world. Will you come to a city where you can go into your bed chambers at night surrounded with a feeling of security? Will you come where your trip will be more wonderful than a trip through the Valley of the Nile? This is truly a land of wondrous flowers unequaled on the American soil. Come, and while combining your business trip with one of pleasure, see the Fair at San Diego and San Francisco. See the city that has more true blue blooded white men and women in it than it will ever been your fate to see again. I say there awaits your coming four tabernacles, one temple, one Royal House, one Arcanum, and last, but not least, three Tents, and I guarantee you better accommodation than has ever been given a Grand Session in the history of Tabor. Every Sir Knight and Daughter in the city now holds their breath in suspense, awaiting me to wire your answer. Will you come to the city I have in mind and that city is none other than Los Angeles, California, the New York of the West. Again I bid you come, because Eagle Biggest serve The Pe Watch Our Three Issues And E At The Watch Our Next Three Issues And Be Ready To Vote At The Primaries. of your lives. Come, and for one time let us meet where we can enjoy citizenship as the law provides. Come, and when you reach Los Angeles you will cry out, as the Queen of Sheba said, "The half has never been told." P. S.—Five ballots have been taken when this message was wired, "Los Angeles still in lead from second ballot. PETER H. BURGESS F. M. ANGELLOTTI SACRAMENTO, July 30—The strength of Justice Frank M. Angellotti, candidate for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, in the Sacramento Valley, one of the great interior regions of the State, was demonstrated today by an indorsement of this candidacy by 82 members of the Sacramento bar. The signatures of practically all of the attorneys in active practice in the city and county are on the indorsement. Leading lawyers who had charge of the circulation of the paper met with the warmest welcome everywhere and the heartiest approval of the elevation of Justice Angellotti to the chief justiceship. Every section of the State, northern, central, southern, the coast and interior, now has gone on record as favoring the candidacy of Justice Angellotti. Sacramento has put itself in line with the indorsements of attorneys of San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Alameda, Riverside and other counties. Hon. Gavin W. Craig, now judge of the superior court of Los Angeles county and candidate for Presiding Justice of the District Court of Appeal, is receiving strong endorsement and support on every hand. Recognizing in him a man of unquestionable integrity, unswerving purpose, and eminent qualification, honest and conscientious, citizens everywhere, who are interested in the election of the right man to this important office, are giving his candidacy active support. The office of Presiding Judge 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 texts. With these necessary qualifications Judge Craig is fitted in a marked degree. During the past eleven years of his life he has been directly involved in the study, analysis and application of legal texts, cases and statutes, both in his work as instructor of law in the University of Southern California College of Law, and, during his incumbency, in the performance of his duties on the bench as a judge of the superior court of Los Angeles county. As judge of the superior court Judge Craig has made for himself an enviable reputation and has thoroughly demonstrated his ability, fearlessness and integrity as ```markdown ``` Number 2 Fight people.

In the criminal department he has a reputation for dealing out fair, speedy and absolutely impartial justice. He is known as a judge who is kind and just, never swayed by foolish sentiment, but always sympathetic and with the interests of the criminal, as well as those of the state, at heart. He, together with several others interested in such humane work, established the Southern California Institute of Criminology and Penal Reform, which has for its purpose the correction and prevention of crime, and which has already accomplished several reforms of a practical nature. Judge Craig is president of this organization and has taken an active part in its progress. As a judge on the civil bench Judge Craig is known as a jurist of keen intellect, sound digression and fair judgment. Judge Craig is a recognized authority on water rights and irrigation law, having compiled a case book on this subject which is now in use in several law schools. He is now compiling a work on "Securities." Judge Craig's career has been an essentially active one. He served two and a half years in the office of District Attorney John D Fredericks and three years as Court Commissioner of Los Angeles county, to which office he was appointed by the judges of the superior court. In the general practice of his profession he won a reputation as a lawyer of ability and thoroughness. As an instructor in law Judge Craig is highly respected among law students. It has been due largely to his effortsthat the University of Southern California College of Law, of which he was secretary for many years and is still a prominent member of the faculty, grew and expanded from a mere handful of students to a legal institution ranking fourth in size and among the foremost in reputation for successful legal training in the United States. His decision to enter the lists as a candidate for Presiding Justice of the District Court of Appeal, made after strong urging on the part of his many friends, has been heralded with emphatic approbation on the part of the people, and wide endorsement among the most prominent citizens of the district. His election seems certain, and his friends predict that he will be finally elected at the primaries on August 25th. The dignity of the office and the probity of the court are safe in his hands. The cause of the people is his and their welfare is in his first consideration. He is worthy of the vote of every honest and conscientious citizen. MRS. HELEN K.

WOODLEY Should be Retained as Supervisor of the Third District We should keep Mr. Woodley as Supervisor of Third District He has been tested and not found wanting; he is true, honest and fair, and he cannot be controlled by any mah or set of men. He is glad to listen to the views of others but has mind enough to decide for himself; is reasonable and opne to conviction if shown he is wrong. He courts the advice and consultation of all who desire to be reasonable and fair. Especially does he like to have THE PEOPLE come and consult with him. If you had a good man in your private business would you change? He is a business man and stands for honesty, efficiency and a strict business administration of county affairs. He is acquainted with the county government work; was chairman of County Government Commission in Legislature. He has taken very active part in county government as Supervisor of Third District during the last four months and has made in that time a record that would be a credit for four years of service. Just a few of the many good works he has been largely instrumental in accomplishing since becoming Supervisor. He has succeeded in getting deeds for widening Santa Monica boulevard to eighty feet from city limits west, and the promise of the Pacific Electric Company to move their track at a cost of $17,000 t the center of street. The work of paving this boulevard from city limits to Sherman will be commenced as soon as contract can be let. This is an improvement very badly needed and one of great importance to the county. He has also succeeded in getting the Pacific Electric Company to put its track on grade, so that Sunset boulevard can be paved on both sides from city limits west He has been an uncompromising advocate of civil service in the county government as provided in the County Charter and construed by the Civil Service Commission, and has labored incessantly with his colleagues and other county officials to remove the obstacles from its pathway, and to secure the cooperation of all in its enforcement. It has been the custo mnot to allow matters filed with the clerk for action of the Board to be given to the public until after they have been taken up by the Board, but largely through Mr. Woodleys efforts these matters were opened to the public at time of filing, that the people might know what is to be acted upon by the Board. He urged that all county moneys bt deposited daily with the Treasurer, and an order was made to that effect. He was the author of resolution directing all county officials to make statement of all moneys collected or held by them. It was largely through his efforts that steam shovels were purchased for the construction of the Topango canyon road, thereby reducing the cost approximately $40,000. After the completion of this road the steam shovels will be used on other roads, which will reduce the cost of building same. Mr. Woodly is an advocate of good roads and is very active in promoting same, but he insists that the money to build good roads shall be spent where it will benefit the people most and not largely in one locality for the special benefit of owners of large tracts of land, which tracts of land they wish to improve or subdivide. He was author of resoletion liming the remuneration of all unity employees strictly to their ties. He was decided to put in a new up-to-date system of booking and auditing for the r, and Mr. Woodley was inital in getting the State of Control to put it in with- to the county. ways stands for the in- the people and against vilege of any kind. able work is that of un- tion to the good of the is in a position to and does devote his whole time to his public duties. If you have any doubt about Mr. Woodley's being the right man for the place, talk with those who know him. His whole record in public life is one of exceptional cleanliness, as well as aggressive, successful accomplishment. A man of the people, his continuous thought and effort is for equal rights, justice and more efficient government. Mr. Woodley was one of the first to take a public stand against the special assessment district abuse so prevalent in the city, and has continually fought to correct the same. We desire to give the above facts as the reason why we so heartily endorse and support Mr. Woodley for re-election. Francis B. Kellogg, H. A. Wheeler, Edwin P. Ryland, Mrs. Emma J. Wolf, Samuel C.

Pritchard, esq., during the time that he and I were both residents of the city of Omaha. I have always heard him spoken of in the highest terms both as a citizen and lawyer. For some years he held the office of justice of the peace, which office he filled to the satisfaction of the bar generally. I regard him as a lawyer of ability and a gentleman of strict integrity. Very truly, (Signed) J. FAWCETT. District Court of Nebraska, Fourth Judicial District; Alexander C. Troup, judge; C. C. Valentine, Reporter. (At Chambers) Omaha, March 22, 1910. To Whom it May Concern: This is to certify that I have been acquainted with George A. Prichard, esq', for nearly all his life prior to his removal from this state to the state of California. He read law in my office for a period of about two years and thereafter was elected and served as a justice of the peace of this city, which office I believe he resigned for the purpose of removing to California. I knew him to be an industrious and conscientious young man and one who I believe is well equipped to fill the office of justice of the peace and I heartily recommend him to the favor of the community in which he now resides. Mr. George A. Pritchard, now a resident of Los Angeles, California, was formerly a resident of Omaha, and held the office of Justice of the Peace in this city for a number of years. I knew him intimately, as a man and as an official, and always considered him one of the best Justices of the Peace in the county. He is thoroughly honest and capable, very energetic, and singularly well qualified for the office of Justice of the Peace in a large and growing city. Omaha Bar Association. Omaha, Neb., June 11, 1913. Mr. Geo. A. Prichard, 2624 Alice St., Los Angeles, Calif. Dear Sir: I learn with interest that you are a candidate for appointment to the office of Police Judge of Los Angeles. I wish I could personally appear before the appointing authorities in your behalf. I have known you from childhood intimately. I know you to be honest, studious, industrious and capable. I have tried cases with you before the District and Federal Courts and have tried cases before you when you were Justice of the Peace in Omaha. I know you have a good knowledge of the law and your record as Justice of the Peace here was above criticism. Speaking for the bar generally as it existed when you left Omaha, I can truthfully say that I believe every reputable attorney would give you an unqualified endorsement for this appointment. (Signed) T. W. BLACKBURN, President The Twentieth Century Farmer: The Bee Pub. Co., Prop.; Chas. C. Rosewater, Genl. Mgr. Omaha, April 2, 1910. To Whom it May Concern: Having personally known for a number of years Mr. George A. He is a man of high ideals and integrity, and of a judicial turn of mind. He served several terms as Justice of the Peace in Omaha, filling the office acceptably and well. It would give me great pleasure if I were a resident of Los Angeles, to have an opportunity to vote for him at this time. VENICE SANTA MONICA Mr. Warren, of the LaBonita has erected a tennis court, adjoining his apartments, to accommodate his guests. Many of the ladies of the beach are absent this week, due to the fact that they are in attendance at the Women's Federation at San Diego. Mr. Bailey of the Eagle Staff, was on the beach last week, soliciting subscriptions for his paper, and reports a partial success. Among those of the party who enjoyed a pleasant day on the sands at Redondo, were Misses Smith and Geddes of Santa Monica. They returned to the beach last Sunday evening. The Glee Club of Venice, an organization of ladies, is but two month's old and is growing splendidly. Its executive staff is a good one, consisting of Mrs. H. H. Rhodes, President; Mrs.J.B. Clayton, Vice President; Mrs.S. Howard, Secretary; Mrs.J. C. Allen, Assistant Secretary; Mrs.D. B. Sheffield, Treasurer. The Venetian colored population are being made to feel quite proud of their accomplishments, the latest of which was the opening to the public of the Tremont apartments on last Svnday. The Tremont, in design and finish, is far superior to any colored apartment house, and to many of the white houses in and around this vicinity. There are 17 spacious rooms, 10 upstairs and 7 down. An elegant dining room of 8 tables, wheres meals are served daily, a sanitary kitchen and a handsome, well appointed lobby containing, among other things, a piano, a library and a home phone, No, 4127. The Fremont is at 505 Broadway, Venice, and Mr. and Mrs. J. W Bridges are the proprietors. Miss Hazel Sercy is giving a hower on Friday evening, in honor of Miss Fany Reese, who is to be married Sunday the 2nd inst. to Mr. Arthur Adams of Los Angeles.

Mr. West is the logical man for the office. Thomas Ellis, candidate for Surveyor, seems to have things well in hand. Watch our flashes next week, and also our predictions. A boat ride on Sunday afternoon and dance Monday evening will be the amusements provided for the visitors to the State Federation by a committee of young men of San Diego. Miss Cora Campbell, of Los Angeles, is visiting Miss Corona White. San Diego is the hostess of number of visitors this week. Society doings in full next week. Many surprises will appear. For a full report of the Federation and its guests, get next week paper. Miss Edith Thompson, the belle of Coronado, is again up. after a brief sick spell. The young men of San Diego are very busy these days seeing who can get the most girls. Frank Ellis seems to be in the lead. The annual convention of the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs are in session at San Diego. Watch next issue for reports Madam Frank Tate held her last dance at Castle Hall Thursday evening. We regret very much in learning of this, as the Madam conducted the onlp dancing school in the city, and we are proud to say it was a credit.

Monahan of San Jose is running for State. He is stalling, as he when it comes to givnition to the colored this reason we advise retrain from giving support whatever. B. LANGFORD FOR SHERIFF We are presenting to our San readers the candidacy of the efficient sheriff of that county relection. Mr. Arthur B. Bford has always stood for a deal for everyone and the voters will make no missin giving to him a hearty art for reelection. the betterment of conditions for the race. Our address along the lines of racial unity seemed to strike a responsive chord and as a result of the same we expect with this and other organizations of the same kind see a statewide movement for the welfare of the race. Hon S. M. Shortrige is making a tour of the northern part of the state this week in his campaign for the senatorial toga and next week will again be with us in this section. Mr. McCormick, in charge of his headquarters at San Francisco, reports that all reports are very encouraging and that it is only a question of how large his majority will be. George A. Boden reports his campaign for Superior Judge is progressing up to his highest expectations and from now to the primaries will improve and confidently expects to be well upon the list of nominees. J. Vincent Hannon for Superior Judge is well out in front in this race and is receiving a strong support from all classes and will surely be a winner. The fire works will be turned loose at the great East Ninth street rally on the 10th. See our next issue and small bills for particulars. We attended the great Fredericks meeting at Dreamland rink at San Francisco last week. It was a great meeting; fully 5,000, the capacity of the building, were present. Theenthusiasm was great and it seemed that he had taken the northern metropolis by storm. It seemed as though great was the Republican party and Fredericks was its prophet. Arthur D. Moore, the old soldiers' candidate for Superior Judge, is gaining strength daily and it is freely predicted he will be up among the leaders in the race for one of the ten Superior Judges they are rally to his support all along the line. Elmer R. McDowell seems to be a strong favorite for Superior Judge, and deservedly so, as he is one of the most affable men in the race and a man whom all classes seem to rally for. MAUDLIN SYMPATHY Much of what might be called maudlin sympathy was evinced at the trial of a man named Hogue, who was on trial last week at San Francisco. He was a confessed train robber caught cold blooded in the act. The robbery and possibly the loss of life was only averted by a colored cook on the train who struck him down with an icepick. As an extenuation of his crime he pleaded poverty and that his family was starving owing to his inability to get work to support the same. Now if a man of the so-called superior race can put the plea over and make it stick and if every man is accorded the same treatment there should never be a Negro who has committed robbery punished for the crime. This man who has all his days and those of his ancestry pleads inability to procure work. Just think of the poor Negro with the door of even hope in bany instances barred against him with the color line, he cannot work as a menial on the railroads, of the thousands of avenues for a livelihood many thousand of them are closed against him so if it was hard for Hogue and it was a legitimate excuse for him to resort to train robbery, to what length by the same hypothesis could a black man go to keep the wolf from the door.

But they will not succeed. Soldiers taken in miscellaneous confusion from the plow or hoe cannot hope to battle in even advantage with the veteran soldiers whose lives have been devoted to military tactics and drill. Nor can men and women without preparation fight successful battles in the struggle with those whose business training has fitted them for the duties which they are to perform. He or she who expects to achieve success must be thoroughly prepared for their life's work. They must think and act quickly, and must know not alone what to do but how to do it. The business man expects that all who profess to be business men and women and wish to transact business him, to be perfectly familiar with the laws, customs, usages and practices that govern the transaction. It is not his duty to explain the obligations into which the other individual enters. It is every person's duty to properly inform himself regarding the intricacies of his calling before entering into it for service. EFFICIENCY, like character, is like stock in trade, the more efficient the greater your power. Efficiency is influence, it makes friends, creates funds, draws patronage and support and opens a sure and easy way to wealth, honor and happiness. THE HOUR FOR ACTION Clara Jackson For many months we have labored earnestly and sincerely in a school of preparation. We are now to enter into the school of life and begin the labors of our last vocation. The hour for action has arrived, and we must step upon the arena and play well our part if we would be recognized among those who have won laurels for themselves. The poet starts the energy of our efforts by the inspiration from the words of this grave and sublime gem: "Honor and shame can from no conditions rise; act well your part; there all the honor lies." We should not put off today for tomorrow; some future day may be too late. Seize the opportunity which is now at hand, for the hour for action is now. One never wins a battle with laurels unless he strikes while the iron is hot. Time fades into fortune by action. Aspiring energies should come to us when we think of the lives of men and women who have ascended from the depth of the valley to the summit of the mountain, and who, by their own efforts, have made themselves great. It not only inspires us to do something and make something of this life, but it teaches us that our success depends upon our ability to do something worthy to be exemplified. To do some kind of service that the world wants and needs is only to act as living examples for others to follow. What others have done we can do; and a lack of a part in our race should not paralyze our efforts for the future. Experience has taught us that the surest way to success in education or in any other line of life is to stick close to the common and familiar things—things that concern the greater part of the people the greater part of the time. Let it be ours to find our way by making it. In looking forward to the moment that is intended to terminate the career of our public life, we must act now. Our feelings do not permit us to suspend the deep acknowledgement that we owe to our college, of the gratitude for honors conferred upon us, and still more for the steadfast confidence with which it has supported us. Then let it now and always be remembered that the hour for action is NOW. There is great material emergency imperatively calling for immediate action, which we must rise to meet. It is along the line of action rather than thought that we can find our place. We, students of a college, are beginning to create a new nation and carve out our own fortune. Others upon their upward career were concerned in that question, "How did you do it?" We can only say, it was done in the hour for action. The fact remains that over three hundred thousand teachers in the United States are women and they occupy every position from teachers of kindergarten and primary schools to the presi are called to these positions more and more, which argues for their fitness and success. A business college course is very desirable. As in all forms of training, broadening our minds and fitting us for leadership and for a comprehension of any work. It is one of the few vocations left which appeals to the spirit of sacrifice. That we can hold our own in the business world is no longer an open question. Therefore the success which we win in the business world, as in the profession, indicates a higher degree of ability which we win through action. We are like engines fitted and polished, with the steam and ready for action and to begin our journey after graduation, when comes the time for immediate action and opportunity. Broad study of business should be the full responsibility, since we are dealing with trained minds. We will build the ladder by which we climb from the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. REV. N. P. GREGGS Before the Biggers' Business College Graduates. Mr. President and Faculty, Members of the Class of '10 and Student Body, Friends and Well-wishers of the Biggers Business College; Ladies and Gentlemen: I most respectfully beg the privilege of acknowledging the very great and most certainly unmerited honor here conferred upon me by this class and institution, and at the same time, I meekly confess my absolute inability to measure, fully, up to your expectations, on this august occasion. Could I boast the wisdom of a Solomon, the philosophy of a, Saul of Tarsus, the eloquence of a Demosthenes, the powers of a Savonarola and the boldness of a Martin Luther, I would feel justified in making an attempt to scale oratorical heights and from thence measure up fully to the requirements of this splendid occasion. But inasmuch as I am neither of the above and am simply what I am, I shall be satisfied to fill my own humble place, and, as best I can, under the circumstances, think my own thoughts and express, in my own humble way, the feelings and emotions with which I find my soul surcharged as I stand in this illustrious presence. Therefore, if in this effort. "I should chance to fall below Demosthenes or Cicero, Don't view me with a critic's eye, but pass my imperfections by." To my mind it appears that the planting of the Biggers Business College here in the midst of the enterprising and progressive Negro citizenship of this city of opportunity, fills a long-felt want, along a very important line, among us. It offers the usual advantages of a modern business college, where the mind is trained to reason along constructive lines and every muscle and organ of the body is so thoroughly disciplined as to always willingly and obediently and faithfully serve the mind, and ever without hesitation reflect by word, act and expression, every volition of the great master faculty. But it does more. It creates a peculiar atmosphere, inspiringly conducive to the best interest and higher development of the persons for whom it was founded. Its very presence inspires the Negro youth to look above and beyond the ordinary plane of human activity, upon which the masses do, and always will, contend against great odds for their portion of daily bread. It is an unassailable argument to Negro boys and girls that there are other fields of activity open to them, where the rub of the elbow is not so much felt or noticed. It reiterates the old adage with double emphasis, "There is room at the top." And it also proves to the black boy that the ascent thereunto is possible and passable, and the only thing necessary to find and climb that steep is the inspiring touch of one who is able to clarify his intellectual vision in the same manner as the Messiah touched and opened the eyes of blind Bartimaeus on the highway leading from Jerico to Jerusalem, enabling him to go forth as a living factor into a world hitherto hidden from his view, and secondly, an inborn desire, an indomitable will, and a sufficient amount of that go-to-it-iveness to keep turning the wheel that runs the mill that grinds out our life's destiny. Again, the college is a splendid illustration of what a race can do to help itself. Unlike Lazarus, who was content to sit at the gate of Dives through life, humbly subsisting upon the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table, the Negro, while full of gratitude for the crumbs, would show the races of earth that having been strengthened and refreshed he now feels flictions departing, and there comes to him an inspiration to throw aside his crutches and try to take a step or two. This institution is but one of our irrefutable arguments that a dark skin does not, and cannot, disqualify one who feels an impulse to enter the higher services of his fellow man, even to that of imparting to a fellow mortal professional information, in such a clear, comprehensive and intelligent manner as to prepare him for the duties and responsibilities of life. I congratulate you this evening that fortune has smiled upon you, and opportunity so favored you that you have been enabled to complete the course of study prescribed by this institution, and will on this occasion receive certificates expressing the confidence of your instructors and the indorsement of your Alma Mater. Through besetments and, perhaps, discouragements of many kinds, with a fixed purpose and steadfast resolution, you have come to the end of your course of preparation and must go forth into the busy activities of life where you must rely wholly upon your own powers and fitness to bring things to pass. We have the utmost confidence in you. We send you forth this evening believing that you will make good. But we warn you that the world, into which you now enter, will most surely call upon you to put into practice all the theories you have constructed and all the axioms you have discovered during the many months of your scholastic life. Allow me to congratulate you again upon the fact that you enjoy the very great distinction of being the first graduates to come from this institution since its establishment in our state and otiy. Your graduation is unique, in that you are the pioneers, the path finders, here charged with the great responsibility of going ahead to blaze out the way and lay the trail in which others shall follow, who, like your- Continued on Page 8.

Hew Gregg makes Great Address self, may graduate from an institution representing Negro brain, Negro energy, Negro pluck and Negro push. You have it within your power to become epoch makers in the history of your race, in this state and section of the country. Will you see to it that every chapter and paragraph you write or cause to be written shall be of such character as you will not be ashamed when seen and read by all men? Because you come from this institution the eyes of the world will be upon you. You must demonstrate your fitness more fully than your associates, who come forth from other schools. You will have to stand a more rigid test and overcome a more pronounced prejudice. If you succeed, and that you must, you will vindicate the cause for which your institution stands for and for which those who believe in Negro ability have contended long and manfully. Should you fail you will weaken the cause and help close the door of hope to many of your race, who, like yourselves, are toiling upward in the night. Every victory you win, every difficulty you overcome, every mountain you reduce to a plain, will open the way and make it possible for another product of a Negro Business College to secure an opportunity to enter the contest. TRAINING FOR SERVICE When one takes into consideration the long hours you have spent wrestling with the intricacies of the subjects you have strived to master and know that the hight from which you now survey the broad field of human endeavor was not attained by sudden flight, and realize the many sacrifices you were called upon to make for the sake of reaching this hour and honor, the question naturally arises: Why? To what purpose is all this time, energy, labor and sacrifice? But let us take a look into the busy activities of tomorrow and there note conditions. We see written upon the archway leading there into the unalterable law of the "Survival of the fittest," glaring upon all who enter there, with a brilliancy that cannot be overlooked or mistaken, and again we see efficiency stamped upon every thing, every place and every position, and when again we see that the great door of success opens only to those who have the ability to do things effectively, economically and at the proper moment, then there comes ringing out of backgrounds of our wondrous vision, like the echo of some ghostly voice thrown back by the distant hills, "Training for service." The great God had a definite purpose in the creation of each individual, and the discovery of that purpose and an honest effort to fulfill that mission is the highest duty and gravest responsibility of life. We come not into this world to be wall flowers, for the angels to admire or men to revere, but to serve our age and generation in the best possible way, so faithfully and effectively that, at the close of life's short day we may have it said of us by the All Wise Judge, 'if not by men. "Well done." The complicated problem of life is very much like the wheels of a watch, in that each has his own work to do, and yet our trades, vocations and callings so overlap that each wheel must have its own cogs, but those cogs must, each in its own place, fit upon the other wheel in such a manner as to help the next wheel to keep up its regular revolutions, and thus the whole machinery of human life and endeavor is kept moving systematically along. The consequence is that only trained hands, trained minds and trained hearts are capable of entering into the harmonious, clock-like precision of the complex machinery of present day industrial conditions. The absence of this training is the direct cause of a large percentage of the unhappily and unpleasant friction throughout the world today. When a single cog drops out of place or, because of wear, defective workmanship, or other causes, fails to perform well its own work, or should it become over zealous and attempt to do more than its part, or in any way interfere with another cog, or fail, harmoniously, to support or be supported by the next one in the performance of its duties, you know well the result, a complete disarrangement of the whole machine. The trained workman takes especial pride in his reputation as a master of his art. Jesus said, "The laborer is worthy of his hire." The trained workman would paraphrase that great truth by saying. The laborer shall be worthy of his hire, with the emphasis upon the word "shall." In other words, the skilled workman takes pride in feeling that he is worth every penny of his hire, and more besides. The employer of this age of progress does not want an employee who serves so many hours for so much compensation, but one who feel a personal interest in the firm for which he works. The employee must realize that he is a silent partner in the business, and the employer must make his employee a profit-sharing as well as profitable adjunct to his business. The bookkeeper, clerk, stenographer, proofreader, mechanic, blacksmith, farm hand, physician, lawyer, minister, or what not, that works, not so much for the so much per day per trip or per month, but to and in the interest of the person or persons whom he is permitted to serve, is the workman in demand, who will be sought rather than forced to seek a place. LOCATE YOUR CLAIM One of the most important prerequisites to a satisfactory service in life is the early location of your claim. I have already said that God had a purpose in the creation of each individual. It is left to us, however, to discover that purpose. Have you not seen people work at one thing for years and years and then, in their old age, break into an entirely new field of operation? One is absolutely justified in seeking another line of service when he finds it more profitable or pleasant than the old one, but oh, think of the valuable time and precious energy wasted during those years that might have been used to telling effect had the person only located his claim in time. The men and women who have served the world best, challenged the attention and admiration of their fellow men, and stamped their image and superscription upon something immovable in this life, are those who early in life located their claim and, consequently, worked long and faithfully at one thing. You have doubtless noticed that the familiar "Jack of all trades" of our childhood days is no longer heard of. Do you know that the one-purpose man has forced him to take the counts? It stands to reason that the stenographer who has worked as such all his life knows more about his job and is better fitted for effective service than the man that has had six occupations during his business life, or worked at three different things at the same time, thus dividing his mind and energies, where they should have been concentrated upon the one purpose of life. That there is a place in the world for each of us must be admitted. But do you know that most of the trouble with many of us is that we have not as yet found that place? Thomas Carlyle once said, "Blessed is he who has found his work. Let him ask no other blessedness." Some boys and girls seem to locate their claims before they reach the high school. It is said of them, they are gifted in this or that special thing or study. Now, if they really become conscious of the fact that that is their calling in life and work toward that one end, they are saved much time and labor, hunting in the dark for his life's job. Once a little boy was running down a hill trying to catch a ferry boat which was about to cross the river. He was just a little too late. A man standing by said to the boy, "Too bad, my little man; you didn't run fast enough." The boy replied, "Oh, I ran fast enough alright, but I didn't start soon enough." He was a wise boy. To make a success of life you should locate your place early and you will always find that to be better than running fast. General George Washington became the commander of the American army, not because he was George Washington, nor yet because of his success in any one certain engagement, but because he located that as his claim in his early youth and trained for it during the many long years of service in the French and Indian wars. THE VALUE OF TIME You cannot fully appreciate the importance of locating your claim in early life unless you have learned the true value of time. Life is short at best. From the cradle to the grave is but a span of years. After maturity has been reached you will be surprised to see how fast the sands flow through the hour-glass. Time is precious. So very precious that the Great Creator gives us only one second to use at a time, and then He always takes that one away before He gives another. The words of the poet are strikingly true, we must "Give every flying moment, Something to keep in store, Work for the night is coming, When man's work is o'er." I think there are few things that will give reason for keener regret in the day of judgment and possibly nothing will give us greater reason to hide our faces in shame and with disgrace and chagrin, when the secrets of all hearts shall be made known, than a knowledge of the fact that our precious lives have been absolutely wasted. When we shall be called to account before the Great Judge of quick and dead, with the talent He gave us still carefully wrapped in a napkin, unused, unimproved, undeveloped, conscious of the fact that we have made a needless but miserable failure of our lives, made even more painful because of the dreadful anticipation of the impending doom, most surely to be pronounced, we will then, if not before, fully realize the terrible sin of wasting precious time. MAKE GOOD USE OF YOUR TRAINING One other admonition and I close. Do not imagine your diploma of graduation is a guarantee of success, out yonder upon life's great battle field. It is no more than a recommendation, acquainting the world of the fact, that you have passed through a course of preparation and have great reason to be trained for service. You are students still. You have finished, it is true, but you have just begun. Go now and learn by direct contact and bitter experience, that which years of training in the college can never give you. Your season of study is not ended. You have only acquired the habit of profitable study. You have only learned the first rules of correct reasoning. Henceforth you will be expected to apply these things to the problems of real life. Like the phonograph, you have been receiving information, not to hoard and put away for safe keeping, but this information has been imparted with the hope that it would make the desired impression upon your receptive minds. Henceforth, you will be expected to call forth and reproduce it all again, from these impressions, in such well-rounded harmony of ideas and achievements, that the music of your useful lives will not only bless and charm humanity, but will be preserved to posterity and set the pitch for the triumphant songs of those who will follow after. Like the camera, you have had a vision temporarily exposed before the perceptive lens of your souls. You must now develop therefrom, life's real photograph, for the approval or disapproval of the world. You will, therefore, be expected to use your fund of information. Knowledge is not a toy, to be played with; not a genet to be admired; not a bird to be kept in a gilded cage, not a balloon in which to ascend above your fellow men; not a tower from which to look down upon the unfortunate; nor yet a barrier with which to shut out the outside world, but it is simply a kit of tools to be put to good uses and with which we are to work out life's plans, manufacture our own environments, make our own destiny and build not only for time but for eternity. Use your knowledge. Use it as the geologist uses his hammer. To break the hard rock of stubborn conditions, to learn from their dumb fossiliferous bosoms the secret of the success. Use it, as the astronomer uses his telescope. When conditions are unfavorable about you and your vision is not clear, sweep the clear skies of hope above you, to locate the position of the star of hope, which though sometimes obscured by the gathering clouds of despondency, never goes down. Use it, as the master workman uses his plan. Not to exhibit or admire, but as an idea to be closely followed and ultimately worked out in the concrete things of life. Use it as the farmer uses his plow. Not as an instrument of furnishing for his parlor nor as a couch upon which to rest, but as an instrument with which to upturn the sod, to cultivate the soil of the soul, to destroy the weeds of unfaithfulness and sloath and insure, thereby, a full crop when the harvest time comes. And now, in conclusion, let me say, your instructors have done their best by you. They have done all they can for you. They have taught you to reason; they have drawn for you the plans for a successful future; they have moulded for you a perfect model, now the rest you must do for yourselves, by the help of Almighty God. Your destiny, to a very large extent is in your own hands. If you follow well the plans; if you use wisely your fund of information; if you build wisely and well; if you develop the spiritual side of your being as well as the intellectual side; if you, in rendering unto Caesar the things that belong to Caesar, fail not to render also unto God the things that are God"s you will not only be rewarded for your faithfulness and diligence, in the splendid fruits of your labors here, in this life, but you will, also, in the life beyond be permitted to complete the noble work you have only been permitted to begin, here in this life. That God in His mercy may bless and keep you, making you perfect in all good works to do His will, is the prayer of your humble servant. AT THE CHURCACES The pastor and officers of the First A. M. E. Church take this occasion to extend their thanks and hearty appreciation to the persons, one and all, who in any way contributed toward the splendid success of Old Folks' Day, last Sunday. Those who served on the various committees were pleasant, courteous and untiring in their efforts to make it pleasant and comfortable for the old fathers and mothers. The members and friends were unusually responsive to our appeals, and through their generous contributions we were able to serve the very best lunch it has ever been the good pleasure of the church to serve on Old Folks' Day. We feel especially indebted to those who were so kind as to put their automobiles and other vehicles at our disposal throughout the day. They made it possible for us to make a success of the endeavor, which otherwise would have been impossible. Through the very great kindness of our friends and the use of their cars 109 old people were blessed with the privilege of spending the day in the House of the Lord, and enjoying a day of praise and thanksgiving. Those who were so kind as to lend their cars to God for the service of His dear old veterans were: Messrs. J. H. Shackelford, S. Shackelford, Lewis Blodgett, Osca Russell, Eugene Walker, A. J. Roberts & Son, S. C. Johnson, Dr. L. Stovall, Dr. J. S. Outlaw, Dr. G. D. Taylor, Dr. W. C. Gordon, Attorney C. S. Darden, Mr. W. A. Brown White), and Mrs. Sarah Jones; Smith-Williams, one carriage. PROVIDENCE BAPTIST INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH Last Sabbath was a high day at Providence. Pastor Williams preached two very strong sermons which had a telling effect, as usual, on his hearers. There were six accessions to the church last Sabbath, one man was converted at the evening services. The closing banquet of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance, which was held at Providence on the 28th, was a great success. Next Sabbath Pastor Williams will preach at 11 a.m. Subject, "The Bible, and Is It Man's Reasonable Guide??" 7:45 p.m., "Life and Its Vehicle." Special music, cornet solo, Mr. Claud V. Pitts. The Lord's Supper will be celebrated at 3 p.m. BAPTIST MINISTERS ORGANIZE UNION The Baptist ministers of the city and county met on the 21st at Tabernacle Baptist Church. After enthusiastic discussions and timely remarks by various ministers they organized themselves into a Union. Their object is to create a stronger bond of fellowship among the Baptist brotherhood and to give more systematic support to the denominational interest and to the cause of the people. At the meeting last Monday the Union voted to give its support to the candidacy of Attorney Nash for Justice of the Peace and to Mr. Charles W. Wilson for State Assemblyman. The officers of the Union are: Rev. J. D. Gordon, President; Rev. H. C. B. Evens, Vice President; Rev. Alfred C. Williams, Secretary; Rev. W. H. Rozier, Chairman Program Committee; Rev. J. D. Herben, Treasurer. The Union meets every Monday, 10:30 a.m. at Tabernacle Baptist Church. You will find the leading Baptist ministers of the city here every Monday, generally.
