Oct. 1st is Newspaper Day Send an Eagle to Your Friends High Tributes Paid Col. Allensworth Volume 27 RESOLUTIONS The citizens of Allensworth in mass meeting assembled, on this 16th day of September, 1914, do hereby unanimously adopt the following resolutions: With bowed heads and broken hearts do we mourn the departure of Colonel Allensworth from our midst. Not only was he a fellow citizen, not only did he occupy a unique place in our midst because he was the founder of our community, but he was more—a director, an adviser, a counsellor. In his untimely death we have sustained an irreparable loss. In consideration of these facts, and to show our appreciation of his services and benefactions, we resolve as follows: (1) That we send a delegation to Los Angeles to represent Allensworth at the funeral, Friday, September 18; that this delegation be composed of Messrs. James Phillips, O. O. Overr, W. A. Payne, Z. M. Hindsman and Mrs. Laura Smith from the Woman's Improvement Club. (2) That we send two floral pieces, one from the Woman's Improvement Club, the other from the citizens at large. (3) That we petition the county librarian and the Board of Trustees of the Allensworth School District to close the library and the public schools on the day of the funeral. (4) That during the hour of the funeral the shopkeepers be asked to close all business and the citizens be requested to refrain from postal and other business. (5) That for a period of thirty days all flags fly at half mast and all business places carry appropriate mourning. (6) That Z. M. Hindman be a committee to request of the Santa Fe officials permit to place appropriate mourning in and near the station and that such work be conducted by the Woman's Improvement Club. (7) That W. A. Payne be a committee to send to the "Valley" and other papers a historical sketch of our leader and fellow citizen. (8) That his birthday be observed every year in this community and the secretaries of the Allesworth Board of Trade and the Municipal League correspond with Negroes throughout the state asking a state wide observance of the day among our people. Be it further resolved, that at the hour of 11:00 a. m. Sunday, the hour when Colonel Allensworth was wont to preach to us, that memorial services be conducted, that Mrs. Mary Gross, Miss Margaret Prince, Mrs. Julia Smith, Mrs. Sara Hindsman and Miss Ethel Hall be a committee to arrange such service. To the bereaved wife and daughters we extend our heartfelt sympathies, mutually sharing with them this great loss. We pledge to Mother Allensworth our TWO—EAGLE 721 9-24 wri loyalty and co-operation and assure her that in case she continues her home in our midst we shall do all we can to alleviate her sufferings and make happy her declining days. Finally we pledge to live up to the ideals that were Colonel Allensworth's. We re-affirm our faith in the community he founded, we reconsecrate ourselves to the task that was his and ours, and we rededicate ourselves to the unfinished work and will strive to make of this community a glowing monument to his sacred memory and one that shall live throughout the ages. Be it resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, that copies be sent to the press, and that copies be spread upon the records of the Allensworth Board of Trade and the Allensworth Municipal League. Done by order of the citizens of Allensworth, this 16th day of September. 1914. Committee: Walter A. Wells Abraham Stockett, Z. M. Hindsman, James Phillips, W. A. Payne To End War, says Congressman Metz-Asserts United States must Reckon with Japan next New York Bureau of The Times, Sept. 22.—"Changed my mind about 'Paris in sixty days or defeat?" "Not at all. Germany got to Paris, didn't she? Everything that I said about that has been borne out. I don't know why Germany turned back. That's something nobody on the outside car say. But 'Paris in sixty days or defeat' still stands. What Germany has done already makes her the sure winner in this war." Congressman Herman A. Metz, head of a large manufacturing house, reiterated today the prophecy he made forty-three days ago, on August 10, and brushed aside all suggestions that the present position of the German army in France might necessitate a revision of his forecast. He styles as "poppycock" all statements that Germany from now on would be on defensive, stamped as "ridiculous" all reports that Russian victories amounted to anything, and went on record once again as declaring, "from an absolutely impartial viewpoint," that the ultimate success of Germany was assured. The New York Congressman, whose wide knowledge of Germany and things German gives him a particularly illuminating view point of affairs in the realm of the Kaiser, not only holds stoutly to his profound belief of German success, but in a peripatetic interview from his office to the quarters of Count Von Bernstorff at the Ritz Carlton, also ventured today several predictions. METZ'S PREDICTIONS. They are as follows: “(1.) When peace is finally declared, Germany will be found still on French soil, in the west, and on Russian soil in the East. “(2.) Peace is now not far off—just how far off cannot be estimated, but it is bound to come soon. “(3.) It will be necessary for the United States to step in, in order that peace may become a fact. This country cannot do anything at present, but the time will soon be ripe for its intervention and then only its action can bring about peace. “(4.) Japan will eventually move against the United States in Asia. We will come next in the Japanese movement that has for its slogan: 'Asia for the Asiatics.' Congressman Metz made all of these predictions in the course of a talk in which he asserted that victory for Germany as the final outcome of the war is beyond all question. Hegave as the prime reason for this statement that not more than a third of the German fighting force is now in the field, and that Germany could stand the strain in money and in men as long as any other country could. "Crack under the strain," he said, "there's no chance of it. Germany has the resources and Germany has the punch. She's still fighting in the other fellow's back yard, and isn't it better to be fighting in the other fellow's back yard and mussing up his lawn, instead of being in your own back yard, breaking everything up there? Los Angeles, Cal., SEPT. 26, 1914 [Name] COL. ALLEN ALLENWORTH For Whom Memorial Services will be held at 1st A.M.E. Church, 8th and Towne Ave., Sunday at 3 o'clock P.M. Dr.J.L, McCoy will Preside. is going to be in when this war is ended, and that's the reason why she is in a better position than the allies. They never can get to Germany. East Prussia doesn't count anyway, and as for France—why France is finding out that the lawn has got to be destroyed when the other fellow is fighting in your back yard. "Paris in sixty days, is, of course, a figure of speech. It isn't necessary for Germany actually to take Paris in order to win. She wins when she carries the war into the enemy's country and shows, as she has done, that she can sweep all before her and get to the enemy's capital in less than sixty days. Germany is accomplishing what means victory in war. She is destroying the enemy, she is destroying the enemy's country; that's what war means, and Germany can continue to do that indefinitely." "Then you don't take any stock in the newspaper reports that Germany has had to call out—?" "That's all buncombe," cut in the former New York City Controller characteristically. "It's all bunk. Germany having to fight with men 60 years old in the line! Why, not more than a third of Germany is fighting. Her mills and factories are still open. I am getting letters from our mills that tell what the situation is. The names signed to them are those of men I know. I know how old they are. I know where they would be if there was any truth at all in the stories that COL. ALLEN For Whom Memorial Service A. M. E. Church, 8th day at 3 o'clock P. will Preside. Germany was back to her last resources. They are at home, at work. They would be with the army if it wasn't true, as I tell you, that not more than a third of Germany is fighting. "Germany hasn't needed her reserves, even though Russia did mobilize more quickly than had been expected. But you'll notice that Russia is still starting. She'll be still starting when the war is ended. And she won't be even started, pretty soon, with winter coming on. Winter will arrive in Russia in a very short time now and Russia won't be able to get anywhere. The roads in Russia are under repair six months in the year and under snow the other six months. "Where does Russia come off? There aren't more than two macadamized roads in the whole empire and there won't be any chance for Russia when winter shuts down. "Germany wants peace. She always has wanted peace. She would welcome peace right now. And the other countries are going to come around to the same way of thinking. "But the war won't be ended unless we step in. We will have to be the leaders in bringing about peace, surely. We can't do it now. Our hands are ```markdown ``` tied. But events are bound to shape themselves so that we can step in, and they will all be glad to welcome our offer. That is because the allies will find they never can get into Germany and as long as they can't carry the war there, what good does it do them to continue it? If they can't beat Germany, what else is therg for them to many, what else is there for them to do?" The Congressman asserted that there were too many blind people who couldn't see what is written. In this connection, he said, he would have forecast on August 10 the move made by Japan in the East if the matter hadn't slipped his mind. THE MOVE MADE BY JAPAN. "I could have told you then, as I tell you now, that Japan is moving to make true 'Asia for the Asiatics,'" he asserted. "We will come next. It won't be for some time, but we will surely have to reckon with Japan in the future. She wants to do with the United States just as she has done with Germany." Mr. Wets was on a hurried trip to see Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador to the United States, when he expressed these views, and he said that on that account he could not go into them as much as he wished. His errand to the German Ambassador was occasioned by what he said was the grasping spirit of some Americans whose activity has resulted in the replacing by the German government of ALLENSWORTH services will be held at 1st th and Towne Ave., Sun- . M. Dr. J.L, McCoy the embargo on shipments of certain kinds to the United States. "Germany showed her friendship this country by raising this embargo in our favor." Congressman Metz explained, "and what do a few fools here do? For the sake of a few paltry dollars they ship the stuff back from here to England, where it is even more urgently needed than here. Germany has gotten wind of it, and she has now shut down again with the embargo. I have just received word by cable and I am rushing to see the Ambassador to learn what can be done. "But that is an instance of our boasted fair play toward Germany. She treats us squarely and we return it in this way. Why can't people here be impartial. I have friends in all the countries at war, although I say that Germany is going to win because I believe that is the fact. I am perfectly open-minded." ```markdown ``` Manhood Rights Receive Black Eye HIPPODROME THEATER WINS DISCRIMINATION Race Man Thrown Out of Hippodrome Theater on September 12th and Badly Bruised and Beaten, Fined for Disturbing the Peace Several race men and women interested in the manhood rights and constitutional guarantees of the Negro of this state, were present Tuesday afternoon in Judge Joseph Chambers' department of the police court of this city when S. B. Battey, a prominent Negro, on trial charged with having disturbed the peace at the Hippodrome theater on September 12th, was adjudged guilty and fined $10.00 by Judge Chambers. Mr. Battey claims that in company with two ladies he purchased tickets for the night performance at the Hippodrome theater on September 12th, and while waiting for admission to the auditorium downstairs was told to go stairs. Mr. Battey says that he and his friends refused to do so, and waited ten minutes for admission to the first floor, and that when he and his friends started to take seats on the first floor the "fun" began. Employes, managers and owners of the Hippodrome theater were all in attendance. At the trial all agreed that five or six people, including employees of the theater, a special policeman, the officer on the beat and a city detective laid "glad hands" on Mr. Battey, handcuffed him and placed him the city jail, where he was kept two days and nights awaiting bail. Mr. Battey and the two ladies with him were emphatic in their statement that when Mr. Battey attempted to find a seat downstairs he was seized by the coat and violently shoved back, at the same time being told that he could not sit downstairs, but had to go upstairs; that within two or three seconds a crowd of employees surrounded Mr. Battey, handeuffed him and conducted him to the sidewalk in no gentle manner from whence he was delivered to police officers who formed an esiort for him to the city jail. Tyler & Macbeth appeared as counsel for Mr. Battey. Colored men who heard the case fear that a precedent has been established under which any theater in Los Angles might "pick a row" with colored men seeking certain seats and after violently ejecting them from the theater, lodge criminal complaints charging them with "disturbing the peace" and, under precedent of the decision in the Battey case, secure a conviction, Mr. Hossick, ex-detective, now deputy city prosecutor, very vigorously prosecuted the case against Mr. Battey, and managers, owners and employees of the Hippodrome were present in large numbers consulting and advising with Mr. Hossick in the prosecution of the case. Because of the fact that it was not shown that Mr. Battey was guilty of any misconduct when the row (if such it can be termed) started at the entrance to the auditorium room proper, the case has been appealed. Be Loyal To Your Race. [From the Colorado Statesman.] Every race has its own characteristics and peculiarities. They are mental as well as physical. The most casual observer readily reveals to us that races differ in complexion, texture of hair, in size and sect. One race white, one race brown, one yellow and one Number 32 dark. The hair of some is soft, straight and flowing; another, stiff and coarse, and another short and crisp. If you observe more closely and come into closer contact, we note they differ in habits, manners and customs, and modes of thinking. Why is this, and for what purpose? The answer must be because God, the Almighty Creator, made and ordained them so, and hence for the best. They serve His great purpose. Holy Writ tells that He created each after his kind. It is plain, then, that this is a universal law stamped upon the very face of our being and is designed by the Creator for the accomplishment of a great end. Since this is true, each race can contribute most to the world by developing its peculiar characteristics to their fullest extent. In doing this they are serving the purpose of their creation, and contribute the greatest possible good to civilization. A race should study its own peculiar qualities and instincts and set about with the utmost care to cultivate them and bring them up to their highest possible efficiency. In doing this it has not only its own aid, but the aid of its Maker, who created and ordained it thus. To do otherwise is disastrous and deleterious and must inevitably end in degeneracy and degradation. Many Negroes have tried to ignore and eliminate their own racial qualities, both mental and physical, and ape the white man. Some tried to get away from their own race and get in the other. Some used all kinds of cosmetics to whiten the skin, and all kinds of "straighteners" to straighten the hair. We have in mind a so-called race leader, who is the most striking illustration of the point at issue; he makes it a point to rise early in the morning to give himself ample time to go through this unnatural and foolish process. All kinds of cold creams, face powders and hair oils are used, morning, noon and night, to bring about the desired end. And we have noted, as a result, he is less brilliant, less healthy and less independent in thought and action. He has become a veritable imitator. It is second nature with him now; he would no more stop it than he could stop breathing. We have in mind numbers of our women, who are even more guilty of doing these very things mentioned. Do not these things show they are trying to get away from the race, and get into the other? Why not be content with what God has given them? Why can they not see that the best within them is neglected? The are not only guilty of the things just mentioned, but they try to walk and talk like them. We are sometimes struck when we see some of our folks who have been around the whites in their homes, come out trying to talk just as they talk, instead of talking in their own natural way. We do not mean to say they should not imitate the whites in that which is good and uplifting, for that would be beneficial and helpful; for all races, to some extent. FARMING BY A TIME-CLOCK.

[San Jose Mercury, August 4, 1914. It is an absurd attempt to legislate climate and nature into law. It is contrary to the basic principles of popular government, "The greatest good to the greatest number." The farms, orchards, dairies and vineyards form the pillars of our commonwealth. If we wilfully destroy them, how can we expect the structure to stand? It is an unseemly attempt on the part of man to usurp the powers of heaven itself. If the "high cost of living is oppressive now, what would it be if we, by such a law, voluntarily double and treble the price of the necessaries of life?

I am not opposed to the proposed universal eight-hour law except as it affects the farmer. the fruit-grower, the dairyman and the stock man. In defending their interest, I would like my reasons to be distinctly understood. I am not opposed to the principles sought to be embodied in an eight-hour law. I believe that it is wholly right to prevent anybody from working others for such long hours as would be detrimental to their health, happiness and civic usefulness. No fair minded ject to an eight hour law for the mechanic, the artisan and the city-dwelling wage earner; but the same fair-mindedness must protest against such a law being forced upon others to whom it is neither desirable nor reasonable. Most certainly the liberty of the individual would be unwarrantably curtailed if the farmer, the dairyman, the frujt grower and the stockman, whose industry depends upon the seasons and upon climate, were not permitted to work as conditions require. A law which would prevent laborers in the agricultural districts from ```markdown ``` MRS. V. L. NORTH E working more than eight hours a day during the harvest and fruit picking season would impose upon the agriculturist an expense which he cannot afford, and to that extent would prove misfortune to the entire state. The work of the fruit grower and the farmer is, as I have said, governed by the season and by climate, — and any attempt to legislate climate and nature into law is absurd. So, if we handicap ourselves by making expensive the products of our farms, vineyards and orchards, we shall suffer a serious industrial loss, as well as add to the "high cost of living" at home. California's greatest industry is in its fruit crops, an industry of an annual gross value of nearly $375,000,000. These crops are largely harvested during a limited season of the year. As a conse- TIME-CLOCK. JUMPER PLUNGE ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE THEM RING IN TOO? CALIFORNIA FARMER STATE FARMERS OF CALIFORNIA MEANS RUIN TO OUR AGRICULTURE. Law, Proposition No.3 quence, labor is scarce at that time, the period of harvesting being too short to invite an influx of a desirable class in any considerable numbers. The products of the fruit industry are perishable, and to the growers, canners and dealers in this line, such legislation, as the proposed universal eight-hour law would mean restriction of output and increased cost of production, which would place them at a serious disadvantage in competing with the products of other states and foreign countries. I believe thoroughly in the eight hour day for those who WANT it. I believe that that should be the maximum at which a man should work if he does not want to work longer. But I do not believe that such a restriction of individual liberties should be forced upon those who do not want it and upon whom it work an unnecessary hardship. Crops do not ripen by the clock, nor will the harvest wait upon a man-made law.

MAY BOYDEN, Cor. Sec'y, 141 W. Anderson St. West Side Up and Doing. The West Side Dunbar Literary Society met at its rooms Tuesday evening with a large crowd and an all-star program as usual. The program consisted of an essay by Mrs. Fowler, which was excellent; a duet by Misses Littlejohn and Beavers was enjoyed immensely. The solo by Mrs. Smith was beyond praise. The Dunbar selections by Mrs. J. A. Louis were excellent. The current events by Edward Carlisle were up to the minute and highly appreciated. By special request, Mr. Garrett, the West Side comedian, recited two selections from Dunbar, which were immensely enjoyed by the members of the society. The program next week will consist of a sketch of the life of James Russell Lowell by Miss Greenes; "Current Events," by Miss Zalie Johnson; sketch from Dunbar, by Miss Mae Smart. There will be other musical selections. One week from next Tuesday the West Side Dunbar Literary Society will journey to Pasadena and endeavor to bring home Pasadena's scalp in a debate.

Even the great art gallery, the Louvre, is closed. It is like a gorgeous panaroma without music. Events and changes follow so rapidly that one is left breathless. There are no motor omnibusses, for they have taken the soldiers to the frontier, so all Paris walks unless one takes the "atropolitan (subway) or the tramway lines, which are few in number. But I please have aborted hours and are packed to the limit. Many of the stations of both have been cut from the service, and all service closes at 9 p. m. We are under military rule and are supposed to be in the house at night. Everybody reads the papers as he hurries along. The size of the dailies has been reduced to one sheet, and some are not much larger than opera house programs. Hotels and stores are closed or closing. Notices are in the windows that proprietors or the "Ouvriers" (work people) are mobilized or have enlisted. Stores which are open have a closing period from twelve to two to give the overworked employees dinner and a rest. I watched some of the lace and bric-a-bric stores pack up all their beautiful wares. At the Bon Marche, which is to be converted into a hospital, if necessary, the venders are packing up the things that the French buy, and are leaving out the gloves' and finery that might attract Americans, who are very scarce, since most of the tourists are in the opera house region, which is a long walk. All of the big magazines (stores) have some of the big doors closed, and there are no sidewalk displays. Here the big stores do a thriving business in "Soldes" (sales) on the sidewalk. The big stores look bleak and bare. At Au Printemps (spring) hundreds of women clerks are making red cross arm bands, buttonholing the red crosses by hand. Others are making khaki bags, red cross flags and other army necessaries. Machines are in the aisles, and in silence the people watch the nimble fingers, for every French girl can sew and embroider. War is in the air! There are distressing scenes of parting in almost every street. The French men know how to make love and are ardent lovers. Such kissing and kissing! As they leave their weeping wives or sweethearts, or even riding in taxis, they kiss and caress until the last moment. They will turn around again and again to look back—perhaps for the last time. Troops, war wagons, red cross wagons and the blast of the bugle add to the war exhilation. One often hears that regular, unmistakable tread of horses as the mounted troops pass. Great processions of horses (which have been confiscated by the government or voluntarily turned over by owners) are being led to the frontier. Each soldier leads and cares for two horses. Taxis are hurrying and scurrying, while the big auto wagons help with a terrific rumble and the same tooting of horns. Cabs and horses are scarce. Private automobiles are being confiscated by the government. Many Americans have been obliged to give up their cars. Aeroplanes skim high in the air like beautiful white birds. At night or early in the morning one may hear the peculiar whizzing as they pass high overhead. No one is permitted to pass through the gates of Paris without a permit. The great circle of earthworks known as the fortifications compels departure through the various "Portes" (gates). The people are exhibiting signs of gaiey either from patriotism or wine. Men started singing the Marseillase Sunday night and Monday morning, but the police immediately stopped all noisy people, thus following out the orders of the military governor, who has issued a notice for "sang froid" (calm). In spite of this there have been many small demonstrations. Bands of men, each carrying a great wide, thick loaf of bread, waving the bread and crying, "Vive le France," are frequently seen. Sometimes they are accompanied by their wives and sweethearts. I saw an Italian sympathetic demonstration. There are always young boys at the rear of these processions, and I find that the Boy Scouts are well organised in Paris. Members were taking up collections along the Avenue de l'Opera. If it were not for the papers we would hardly realize that a war is going on. Flags float from all public buildings and from the windows of private houses. Wagons, taxis and cabs carried large flags, but the gendarmes compelled them to take them down. Now they are carrying small flags. People are wearing little flags or bows of the tri-colors. Some English wear the British Jack and the French flag, and some Americans wear Old Glory in miniature combined with the French drape. The French people face strangers. tion, but they continue to buy flags—large ones, too. The stores and shops are selling the tri-color ribbon like wildfire. One may imagine the scene. It looks like a celebration of the Fourth of July rather than a preface of war. Everywhere one hears "La France this" and "La France that." Heated discussions are held in the "Metro" and on street corners, and women are in the discussions. The women are the backbone of this nation, anyhow. They have pitched into work with a vim that must be seen to be appreciated. The women paper sellers rival the men in their sales and cries. As the men yell the various editions at night, terror grips my heart lest thousands have been slain. Demonstrations against the German shopkeepers are pregnant. Windows are broken and the shops utterly destroyed. Two Germans, a man and his wife, both naturalized Americans, but with a telltale German accent, who have recently moved here from America with all they have, are afraid to return to their apartment in the Montmartre quarter. The neighbors threaten to tear the man limb from limb, and they belong to the class that might do this. The feeling against the Germans caused a crowd of men and boys to destroy one of the Maggi milk shops on Rue Brea. The Maggi people are Germans, so the French government promptly confiscated all their money, about $400,000. I watched a shopkeeper with a German name painted "Maison Francaise" on the window in red paint. This was a precaution. As I walked to the American Express office early on Monday morning I met a distressed elderly American woman. We read the early bulletin of the New York Herald before she told her story. She had lost her trunk in the hurried departure from Berne, where men were acting like drunken ruffians. I went with her across, the avenue to see when the office of the American consul would be open. When she found that even in such troublesome times the office would not open until 10 o'clock, there was a wealth of sarcasm that the consul would have heard. Then I went over to the American Express office to draw my money, and to the Canadian Express to get a refund for my ticket. I was number eight in the line before the door of the American Express. The ones ahead of me had stood up all night from Switzerland. In a little while we noticed that lines of people were forming before the offices of Thomas Cook and several steamship offices, especially before the Hamburg-American office. When the doors opened the line was around the corner, and there was a terrible crush. Those who came last pushed ahead of the others, and some from the same ship that brought me over were the first at the cashier's window, although they were last to arrive. Afterward an employee kept the line outside the door, but not before the office was jammed. French people had crowded in to get fifty franc bills ($10) cashed, but the sign was before them, "No bills changed." They sputtered and fumed, but they received nothing after crowding and pushing the Americans, who had a right there. Thomas Cook soon went to smash, financially, because it is an English house and England needed the money for the war. The steamship offices began to dismantle and go out of business early in the morning. The New York Herald had warned all Americans and Englishmen to go directly to the Ambassador, Consul or the police station nearest to their hotel to get a "laissez-sejour" paper if one was to stay several days, or to get a passport if one intended to leave at once. The consul's office is on the third floor almost opposite the office of the New York Herald. Three flights of a wide staircase were packed with American humanity waiting for letters of introduction to the precinct police. It took over two hours for each one to get to the office door. The people took it good-naturedly, for as the men said, "We do this at baseball any time." Two women fainted while I was there, but nobody but their friends assisted them. People were too anxious to get their papers to be polite. When we received our papers the assistant lectured us as if we were children, but we took it like children. behind in the line, but they were unknown to me and looked like servants from their clothes. When I went to the restaurant at 1 o'clock for dinner I found that green girls were being pressed into service as waitresses. People were assisting themselves all they could. The girls forgot to take the "pour-boire" (tip), and I find that all of the new hands are too busy to remember this item, notwithstanding the fact that tips are their real salary. Many restaurants, as well as the hotels, are out of business. Nearly all have a sign of some sort. The proprietors announce that they will go to war or are forced to close because they have no one to do the work, or that they will not change paper money or that the prices have been augmented. It keeps one busy reading all of the various signs on doors and in windows. There are even poems hung on statues. That of Joan of Arc is decorated with flowers, and a big paper hung on it, on which is written a patriotic poem. After dinner at I o'clock, I went to the big meeting at the Grand hotel which the New York Herald had advertised in the morning. There were no chairs provided in the gold and crystal ballroom, with its magnificent chandelier of crystal and mirror walls, but the Americans, with their customary audacity, stripped the dining. Each woman carried her own chair. There were about 1500 to 2000 present. Many stories of hardship were related. Some had not a sou in real money. Some women tried to change a hundred-franc bill ($20) for a woman with a child. But nobody would give a cent. Small change is as precious as gold. There was a motion to take up a collection, but people spoke right out, "No, let the government pay for the cable." While there were some "buckers," as I heard a man call them, it was a treat to hear the way they got at things, yet all were strangers to each other. They simply ordered the President and Mr. Bryan to send for them. An American may demand things. Many are looking forward to the "transport," as a part of the trip and its experience, and are jolly. Even those without money are not particularly worried. I heard many stories of hardship, while many had stood up in trains for fourteen and fifteen hours from Zurich, Switzerland; others had walked a portion of the way out of Switzerland. One had had his auto confiscated. In the line before the American Express many had had no breakfast. A man took his thermos bottle and brought back hot coffee and crescent rolls. Still all these folks swapped experiences laughingly. The baggage of some of the men had been held at the French frontier until the various bags and trunks could be examined to see if they contained bombs, etc. This would take at least forty-eight hours, and yet they laughed as they told the experience, and had not a second collar or pair of socks in their possession. Those who persisted on going to England without baggage, for no trunks were carried, found themselves worse off than if they had remained here. London advertised that it had no more food than was needed for its own people and those who had early passage booked on English steamship lines. Many of those booked for "La France" could not get to the ship, as the railroads are being used for the soldiers. Even with a booking passengers are only allowed sixty kilos (about 120 pounds) of baggage in the hold and one piece of hand baggage. The story is told that one woman in London has twenty-six trucks and not a sou. Here one woman has bought $500 worth of gowns and she has $1.50. Others were equally unfortunate. Women of means seldom carry much money because they use checks and letters of credit. Even millionaires are stranded, so we are told, to comfort those who have only checks. Many American women and girls are going to the war district as nurses. The fetching white costume and the arm band is very attractive. Many American men are volunteering for the army. On Tuesday morning I tood in line nearly three hours to get my "laissez-sejour" (to stay) paper at my district police station. If I had gone earlier I would not have been obliged to stand so long, but I started this letter and only arrived about nine-thirty. A number of Turks, Japanese, Norwegians and Danes were in line, as well as scores of Ameri- his "to stay" paper before he gets passport (which costs about two dollars) or the gendarmes may suspect him as a spy because he does not use his passport at once, although it be impossible to get any railroad service for several days. Each paper carried some identification. As gray hair is rare in France (for most people dye their hair here, where dyeing is a fine art), the young clerk wrote down that I was "graying." I hope that I am sufficiently identified, although "colored" was not added. My gray hair has served me well on this occasion. To prove that it is best to follow one's own thought, I will relate two occurrences while we were in line. Although I had my letter of introduction from the consul, an elderly, intelligent, English-speaking Frenchman in company with some American women declared that I needed a receipt from my landlord. He insisted with that French tenacity and whole-hearted interest that I return for this. I said: "No, if a letter from a consul would not overbalance one from either a landlord or a concierge (the janitress who also takes the rent) that there was no need of a consul." I had stood in line too long at the consul's office to get that paper, and did not intend to lose my place. Of course, at the police station I received my "laissez-sejour" paper. Just afterwards an Americanized Frenchman came to hunt two young American women in order to help them. He assured them that they could not get their papers, that he had been refused. He had brought a cab (a temptation when cabs are rare) and would bring them the next morning. The American girls, with true American independence and grit, said that they preferred to stay. They received their papers also. I have not seen a black, brown or "high-brown" French soldier yet. I have seen hundreds of French blacks as they call themselves. Since the omnibuses are not running most of the people follow the boulevards, which are the main arteries of traffic, and I am continually meeting "colored" people. I have seen many American colored people, too. I desired to speak to some of them, but they gave no evidence of cordiality. On the Avenue de l'Opera I saw one colored woman who shook her head at me as if to say, "This is bad." I bowed and smiled, but she passed on. I stood to see if she read the New York Herald bulletins. She stopped a moment, but as the news is printed in both English and French, I was still uncertain as to her nationality. I stare at every colored person for a sign of recognition, but so far I only know four of those I have met. The complaint of the American women about their treatment at the Ambassador's office is prevalent. The clerks took a two-hour lay-off for lunch. The waiting line of people would not have begrudged one hour to the tormented clerks, but many of the elderly women, unaccustomed to walking, had come long distances, and there were no chairs or places to sit, besides many of them had had nothing to eat. I saw some of the black bread that was used in 1870. I hope that it tasted better than it looked. The friends who showed me the bread have a book of prophecies which is wonderful. It had predicted this war, and says that herds of the yellow races would invade Paris. This seems a true prophecy also, for the Japanese are everywhere in evidence. There are many Japanese children also. A Yale professor who is staying at this hotel told me that some resident American friends who are spiritualists tried to convince him that the general war would come. When it was declared they said, "Didn't we tell you so?" The Americans here who have a little money are not worried, and they say, "Let our government send for us." It is rather nice to live in a country that can "do" things. One can get no seats, places as they call them, to England, and one dreads sailing on a French liner if he secures a booking. I intend to wait along with the other Americans, for that transport and have the same rare experience. One does not mind paying a high price for an unusual state of affairs. I am well and contented. I leave the hotel early every morning and return about six—filled to overflowing with what I have CORRESPONDENTS. S. B. Carr.....Pasadena H. E. Simpson.....Bakersfield B. L.

EDWARD JUDSON BROWN FOR JUSTICE OF PEACE OF LOS ANGELES TOWNSHIP The Eagle will give a strong support to Edward Judson Brown for justice of the peace for this township. He is a clean cut young man who will on the bench give to all of the people a square deal and we are going to unqualifiedly support his candidacy and commend the same to our people. JUDGE J. W. SHENK SHOWS HE STANDS FOR A SQUARE DEAL FOR ALL The high priced attorneys for F. H. Mauser brought everything they had in law and eloquence to prevent a recount in the Wilson Mauser representative contest in the 74th legislative district on last Tuesday. But Judge Shenk stood like a stone wall for common justice and ruled that the rights of no one could be jeopardized by a recount in the case. If Wilson received the most votes he should have the place on the ticket, and that a recount could do no one an injustice. So we are glad to commend and stand up for a man who stands for a square deal for all as Judge Shenk did in this case. Although Wilson as a result thereof failed to win, he satisfied all by doing the right thing. As a result Wilson feels better, Mauser cannot help but feel better and justice has prevailed. Give us more just judges like Shenk and we will all have a better country in which to live. Messrs. Horn and Griffith Jones, represented Wilson and much credit is due these gentlemen in looking after the defendant's interests. Mr. Jones is a brilliant young rising attorney, who will be heard from in this community. WAS POLICE JUDGE JOSEPH F. CHAMBERS FAIR IN HIS DEAL WITH S. BATTEY? The constant plea of the American Negro in this section and all sections of the country is not "social equality" but a fair deal. The Negroes of Los Angeles are questioning with some severity the action of Judge Chambers in the Battey case which was disposed of in his court last Tuesday, at which time and place Battey was fined $10.00 for disturbing the peace at a cheap moving picture show where he had gone in company with two female members of his race and demanded seats in a certain section of the house, where the managers, employers, etc., had decided that Negroes should not be admitted. There were signs all around stating that 10 cents was the price that would admit one to any part of the house, but when Mr. Battey insisted on seats in a certain section of the house he was refused and assaulted by the persons in charge and locked up over night in the city jail. When turned over to Judge Chambers to whom he looked for a fair deal in the dispensation of the law, Battey was fined $10.00 on the ground of disturbing the peace. Now Judge Chambers is aware of the fact that there is no code or article in California law that supports the home made law made and indulged in by cafes, saloons, moving picture shows, and other public places with regard to Negro discrimination. The time has come when the race must seek justice by voting for men to fill offices who have a sense of justice for all the people, regardless of race, color or previous conditions of servitude. REV. S. L. HARRIS FINISHES REV. S. L. HARKIS WORK IN LOS ANGELES composed a special piece for the occasion, might be made; it was entitled, "The Path of Destiny." Rev. S. L. Harris, after six years' endeavor in this city, in which time he built up a work in the way of a church edifice and membership that will henceforth redound to his memory. Rev. Harris is one of those tireless workers and the membership and friends with which he ha surrounded himself will be loath to see him leave. The reverend, as well as the entire family, during their stay here have filled a peculiar place in Los Angeles society, and because of their musical and other several abilities will be greatly missed. Their places will not be easily filled by others. WHAT IS THIS LOS AN- GELES POST? The Eagle is in receipt of a U. S. postcard stating that there had been a change of management in the L. A. Post, and they found it necessary to notify us as delinquent subscribers, etc. Now, we are not subscribers to the L. A. Post. We always in a way admired the hustling qualities of Bubber Brown, who started the sheet, and always was willing to assist him by word or act. Hence we never in any way criticised the same. But now as we understand a white man is entering the field of Negro journalism we are not backward in entering a strong protest, and that he can find Negroes who are so lacking in race pride to go around to rake chestnuts out of the fire for him is supreme gall. In a long experience in the work this is the first instance in which we have heard of a white man who is going to nose around, seeking to make a hard job more difficult by hiring some cheap Negroes to go around and get business for him on the strength of the Negro race. The white man with his thousands of years of civilization ought to know better. Our people are not knaves or fools, and when they are wise to the fact that these young embryonic Negro editors and managers are only tools, that they run no Negro office, that there is nothing in common for the Negro, that, it is a white man's scheme pure and simple, he the promoter will wake up a sadder but wiser man. A TRIBUTE To the Citizens of Los Angeles: Words are inadequate for me to express my gratitude to the churches, pastors and citizens of this great community for their loving expressions, both in words and deeds, on the eve of my departure from the city. I cannot help but retain a perpetual memory of past beni-fences on the part of friends from all denominations as well as creeds. Hoping to return much improved in all the lines and able to perform greater duties. I wish to bid all an affectionate good-bye. With heart-grateful thanks, I am, sincerely yours. 21 CHRISMAN APARTMENTS Apartments, $13.5 Strictly modern two and three-room apartments disappearing bed gas for heating and cooking. Laundry trays.

Music and games characterized the evening The Colored Citizen of Bakersfield How He Stands on the Vital Question, "Wet?" or "Dry?" It has been charged for many years that the average Negro voter throughout the country was the chattel of the Republican party, and some of the whiskey element are preaching that a large majority of the Negro voters are against the California Dry Movement, as it has been charged on several occasions that all Negroes prize a bottle of bad booze more than they do their families Those who are making these flagrant misstatements lose sight of the fact that the Negro voters, having reached the stage of self-respect and a degree of intelligence where he can think for himself and vote accordingly, and are well qualified to vote on the booze question as they are to vote on any other question affecting the general welfare of the state. But in order to reach the Negro voter, the leaders can no longer play with him as with a child. California dry propaganda work must be done through Negro speakers and race journals. In order to make California dry thousands of dollars are being spent on high-priced campaign orators and white newspapers. While there are more than 50,000 black voters and six Negro newspapers—and the election only six weeks distant! If the dry force expects to win they must awaken to the fact that they must. reckon with their black allies, the pulpit and the press. As the Negro has nothing in common with the booze emporihe should join the moral force and help California to get on the water wagon by kicking booze out of the State.

EDWIN REED JUSTICE KEATING SHOWS JUDICIAL QUALITIES IN COMPOSING DIFFICULTIES Vito Callello, Italian laborer, stood woebegone before Justice of the Peace J. Edward Keating. A sentence of $100 had just been im- posed upon him for assaulting his mother-in-law, Rosa Affatato, and matters were looking blank and black for Vito. "But there are six good and sufficient reasons why the court will not enforce the collection of the fine or put the defendant in jail." Judge Keating concluded, at which there was a murmur of applause in the well filled court room—for the six "good and sufficient reasons" were Vito's children, whose age ranged from eight years to a babe in arms and who gathered with their mother on a front bench. Hope gave place rapidly to the despair in Vito's face and he pledged himself with eager vehemence not to molest his mother- JOHN B. HARRIS in-law for six months at least. Hastily he assembled his progeny and vanished from the court room, protesting volubly his gratitude for the mercy shown by Judge Keating, whose sentence in such cases are invariably tempered with mercy and dictated by impartiality and common sense. "And what is to become of me?" timidly queried old Rosa, who had been left behind: "I have now no home, nor have I money. Where shall I go?" It was another problem for the wise young justice to solve and he went into it with characteristic patience and care, developing one of the most interesting of the important tragedies of unimportant tragedies of unimportant lives that daily find their way to Judge Keating's court. And this is the story from beginning until the happy conclusion brought about by the judge: Old Rosa came from Italy a year ago to make her home with her daughter and Vito, whose pay is only $1.85 a day, but who assured the authorities that Rosa hould not become a public charge. But soon all was not well in Vito's household. His mother-in-law asserted the traditional authority which Vito resented, and to show his resentment he used physical force with mama-in-law, which eventually landed him in Justice of the Peace Court No. 2 as related. Questioning old Rosa as she lingered after Vito's dismissal, Judge Keating learned that the son-in-law had borrowed $50 from her—all the money she had in the world—on her arrival in San Diego, and had never returned it. Here was another tangle in the domestic snarl, but Judge Keating acted with his customary promptitude. "Fetch that man back here," he commanded a constable, who speedily was on Vito's trail, bringing him to the court room within a few minutes. Vito admitted he had borrowed the money, but would not acknowledge having it still in his possession, although Rosa fervently assured the justice this was untrue. "I will give you just twenty-four hours in which to return this money to your poor old mother-in-law," sternly declared Justice Keating to the now thoroughly frightened Vito. "If it is not in this court by that time the original sentence will be enforced." With many promises and protestations Vito went forth again and in the meantime the judge interested a number of charitable American and Italian women in the plight of Rosa Affatato. He learned that she pined to return to THREE—426—Eagle Sept 17 S Jim Crow wsikroniET890$..... her old home in Italy, so the justice and the good ladies set about the philanthropic task of sending her back. Vito promptly turned up the next day with the $50 in gold, but it was not enough for Rosa's passage. However, Judge Keating and the ladies made up the balance of the required sum, and old Rosa yesterday, happy and joyous as a schoolboy when the school house burns down, began the long journey home. The Eagle sets the pace. All others bring up the rear for news that interests a cosmopolitan citizenship. FOR SALE! Dixie land, Imperial Valley.

As long as we are separated in our efforts, our energies and our endeavors, the white man will continue to heap these insults upon us; we in turn will continue to sit still and whine.

Did you ever stop to think that a real big man cannot afford to be small? The colored voters do not relish that full crew law for one moment, and if the Progressives or Republicans are making that law one of their star issues in the pending campaign they will not lay up much lay with that vote.

Later he was employed for some time by one of the large department stores in New York City. His evenings he spent in reading, preparing for the education an opportunity for which he hoped might come, and through the florts of Dr. Jefferson of Broadway Tabernacle, in New York. he had been sent to Howard University at Washington, D.

Now, after three of his four college years had passed, he had decided to spend the summer as a railroad porter. He was of good height and sturdy build. His face was pleas and open—one that invited confidence and trust. His keen eyes convinced one of intelligence, and FIRST: We believe and insist that all men are by nature free and independent and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing and protecting property; and pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness. SECOND: That all political power is inherent in all the people for the protection, security, and benefit of all the people, black and white. THIRD: That all men shall enjoy freedom of speech being held responsible for abuses thereof. FOURTH: That all law affecting the peace and happiness of the people, black and white, should be uniform in its operation in both City, County and State. FIFTH: That no citizen or class of citizens should be granted special privileges, nor should any citizen or class of citizens be denied any service or accommodation in any public place licensed or otherwise by the State, the County or the Municipality, that all service be granted to all the people respecting themselves and the rights of others should be equal and without discrimination on account of color. SIXTH: That it is prejudicial for any theater, hall, hotel, or place for the dispensing of wines and liquor to discriminate against any citizen on account of color and we stand pledged to the policy not to give our political support or our ballot to any man or set of men who will not agree to effect and influence legislation in the Councils of the State, County or municipality tending to give to the Colored or Negro citizens equal accommodations in all institutions created for use or benefit of the people and to a full observance of the first above mentioned paragraph. AN EXTRAORDINARY PULLMAN CAR PORTER SEVENTH: That it is unfair for the press to publish articles parading the acts of the law breaker publishing his racial identity, and that all such words as nigger, coon, dark cloud, smoke and dinge, be discontinued by the daily papers of this state, and made punishable by law. We were traveling by rail from Buffalo through the Mohawk valley, and I had settled myself in the smoking compartment of my car when the porter came in. Perhaps it was because he looked more manly than the average run of negro porters, or perhaps something in the quality of his voice attracted me. EIGHTH: That Colored jurors be selected whenever practicable in cases in which the accused is a Negro. NINTH: That Sections 51, 52, and 53, of the Civil Code of California be amended so as to include within its application along with provisions mentioned. "All Wine or Liquor establishments." We fell into conversation and I earned to my astonishment that he was a college student, earning money to spend the winter educating himself to become a leader and teacher of his people, and that he might contribute his mite for the uplift of the colored race through the word of God. TENTH: That it shall be the policy of the members of this institution to work and vote for men aspiring to political offices who will revoke the license of any person, company or corporation proven guilty of discriminating against any citizen on account of Color or previous condition. ELEVENTH: That all persons within this state shall be entitled to the full and equal accommodative advantages, facilities and privileges in all public places for the public accommodation or amusements and that in addition to the fines and penalties already mentioned in the Civil Code of the State that the trial judge be also granted the power to revoke whatever license party may have for a term of not less than one year. He told me that he had been born in Raleigh, N.C., 27 years before. His parents both had come up from slavery his father graduating at the age of 35 from Atlanta University to become a Congregational minister; the mother was one of the first colored women secure a degree from Atlanta University. His elder brother had spent two years at Howard University, Washington, D.C., a school of 1,400 students maintained by the U. S. Government, and from there had gone to Dartmouth, where he completed his course in two years and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. From there he had gone to Jefferson Institute in Kansas city to occupy the chair of mathematics, and there his work had been cut short by death. TWELFTH: That we are unalterably opposed to the practice by owners of public places of accommodation, to advertise or otherwise giving notices that persons of any race, creed or color or either excluded, or not wanted. THIRTEENTH: That we pledge our support to men only that will stand out against all racial discriminations in theaters, saloons and places of public comfort. FOURTEEN: That we lend our efforts to have men selected to the State Legislature that will enact laws prohibitive of all forms of discrimination except as are made applicable alike to all citizens and that the penalty for violations of this law shall be not less than $100.00, payable to the offended party, nor more than $1000.00 and a revocation of the authority under which such business shall have existed. A sister also had secured a degree from Atlanta University, and was devoting her knowledge toward educating her colored sisters. And he, the young porter, was striving—in spite of many discouragements to gain an education. FIFTEEN: That it is the sense of the AfroAmerican Council that it is the indispensable duty of every male and female citizen of the race in this state to register and be a qualified voter and to vote in every City, County and State election. SIXTEEN: That it is the duty of every local Council to obtain the membership of every man and woman of the race in the City and County, to keep a correct record of their addresses and keep all the people informed on all political issues and upon the record of every man that aspires for office. That the Council will support the best man for all offices regardless of past political affiliations. The man that will give the Colored Negro Citizen a square deal in giving out patronage as well as in those things that have to do with pleasure and comfort hereinbefore mentioned. SEVENTEEN: That this Council is opposed to the discrimination practiced in a very general way against the Negro people in favor of aliens, who have never rendered signal service to this nation, especially Asiatics. EIGHTEEN: That we discontinue the expenses of making exhibitions and confine our labor to building up a great and strong Negro political organization for the one purpose of agitation in favor of an equal opportunity in the race of life along political lines. That it shall be known as the one strictly political factor within our ranks. NINETEEN: We urge the members of the race to acquire homes and farm lands, thereby identifying ourselves with the soil. To keep their reality holdings up to a high state of development, that it may at all his quiet but earnest way of talkin and acting confirmed my be ef in his determination to do things. In personality he was extraordinarily impressive. He was proud of his parentage and of his brother and sister; proud of his race, of what it was doing and would do in the future; proud of his work, both in and out of school—in the classroom and in student activities. His unbuttoned coat displayed a small badge of the colored men's college fraternity of which he was a member—the money earned as a prize in debating paid for it. He was proud that he had a "conductor run" in the Pullman service in spite of his youth. His optimism was contagious, the sort that will radiate to all with whom he will come in contact. And he was ambitious—not for himself, but for all the other negroes who are striving to do as he has, and for the less fortunate whom they must help. As we talked, he told me of the work the young colored men are doing; of that young colored surgeon, Dr. Simeon L. Carson of Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., who is only 30 years old and who has performed the Caesarean operation in 15 minutes—a fact which, to the medical profession means wonderful medical skill; of Allen LeRoy Looke, a graduate of Harvard University and a Rhodes scholar of enviable record at Oxford and now professor of ethics and logic at Howard University; of Ernest E. Just. Dartmouth, 1907, elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and since then zoology and physiology at Howard University; also of Geo. E. Haynes, who worked his way through school as a waiter in the summer months, and after being graduated from Fisk University secured his Ph.D. at Columbia last June, and now teaching at his Alma Mater; of Walter Dyson, another ex Pullman porter—Fisk, 1903, and Yale, 1905, and holding an A. M. from Chicago in 1913, now assistant professor of history at Howard; of H. B. Nixon, called from the service of the N. Y. Central lines to take the chair of chemistry and physics at the Louisville High School, Louisville, Ky., and of others—teachers, lawyers and of teachers of the Gospel—all striving to bring about the realization of Lincoln's dream of half a century ago. He tmeht a told he carried school work into the summer with him. He said: "Every day on this run is a study in physiology for me. I see new people and new characteristics. I see how the mind of a man works under different conditions and illustrate in my own mind the theories of psychology by studying my passengers." When I stepped off the train, the sual quarter changed hands. Then I went on my way, happy to know that I had met a manly man. His name? don't want publicity, for I am doing only my small share; but I am proud of the colored men who have really made good and have done something worth while. That is what I hope to do some day" He is Emory Smith, Howard University, 1914, (ad interim porter N. Y. Central Lines.) Distinguished Man Departs. Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 10, '14 The Rt. Rev. Henry Blanton Parks, Bishop of this, the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church, leaves Phoenix this evening for Chicago. I had the pleasure of meeting the Bishop and his wife at Phoenix. They were on a sight-seeing trip when I met them in a four-passenger machine owned and driven by Mr. M. H. Shelton a business man of ability and great success as a real estate dealer. His office is centrally located at 215 Washington street. Mr. Shelton very kindly asked me to join them, which I did with many thanks and no hesitation. His sign reads: REAL ESTATE BOUGHT, SOLD AND EXCHANGED INSURANCE, RENTALS, LOANS COLLECTIONS. We then drove to his home, the most beautiful and picturesque in Phoenix—only seven blocks from the business district of the city, having 300 foot frontage on three different streets. The lot contains about three acres and was originally owned by a wealthy old settler who sold to Mr. Shelton. The beautiful cottage, with the six large rooms, all modern conveniences built-in effects, hot and cold water, electric lights, and gas for heating purposes. The grounds are surrounded by palms and acacia trees. On the lot is a very fine orchard, many of the trees being loaded to the ground, especially the pear and quince trees. Then there are apples and crab apples peaches, plums, figs and pommegranites; good water, barns, chicken corrals and a garage. The house is situated near the corner of 7th avenue—the number is 783 Grant street. This property is valued at $25,000. Mr. Shelton was trying to interest the Bishop in buying it during our two hours'trip. Mr. Shelton showed us a great many of the 150 houses he had built and sold during the last two years, most of which were five and six-room bricks. As the Bishop and his wife are looking for a winter home, they seemed to be very favorably impressed with Mr. Shelton's proposition. The winters in Pheonix are delightful and the water contains medicinal properties. They say, 'If you are well, drink this water to keep well; if you are sick, drink this water to get well. Mr. Shelton informed us that 90 per cent of the colored people owned their homes and that they were a very desirable class of citizens. We then drove to his ranch, which is about three miles from the city. The population of the city is about 20,000. Of this number there are between 1,000 and 1,100 colored people and about 90 schoo children. Messrs. Frederick Gardner and J. A. Jackson are just completing a magnificent concrete building, 59x112 ft., cement sidewalk around it, nineteen rooms, with bridal chamber, all newly and elegantly furnished; inside finish, stucco with wainscoting and picture moulding throughout the rooms and auditorium, which is 50x104 ft., intended for meetings, such as conventions, lodges, roller skating and dancing. The office, check room, cafe, etc., all open into wide halls. It is electric lighted and gas heated; has hot and cold water, telephones and all the latest improvements. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner very courteously showed us through the entire building. The building is our rounded by palm and pappas trees and is centrally located. This colored hotel is a credit to the city as well as to the people. Seeing is believing, and we saw with our own eyes today, in the two hours' drive over and around the city, that the only way to see Phoenix is to be lucky enough to have a friend who lives there, knows the city and owns an automobile, and that friend the kind who takes pride in his city to the extent that he makes it a point to show off the things of interest and beauty. mitate one another, and cull that which is best from the other. For instance, the Japs studied the American war and took what was best in their civilization and engraffed it upon their own. The Japs studied the American nav, and improved theirs in their own Japanese way. And what is the consequence? We find them admired, respected and honored throughout the civilized world. Why? Because, while they picked what was best in other races, they stood true to Japan. Even Indians are admired because they will be Indians and are proud of themselves. They are true to their racial characteristics, and the whites respect them more today than they do the Negro. A STUBBORN DISPOSITION. Did you ever really know a stubborn person who would admit bewas stubborn? I never did. There is something particularly insiduous about stubbornness. The hot tempered person who flares up, makes a scene and throws a hammer through a glass door, will admit, when he cools off—that he has a quick temper, but the stubborn quietly settles down in a dogged way to "stick it out." Of all mental vices, stubbornness is one of the worst. It is the least amenable to reason. The personality incrusts itself with a consciousness that makes itself believe: "I must be right, and others must be wrong—therefore, I must die in the last ditch rather than give in. Stubbornness is a sort of "egotistical insanity." Our vices we see through a sort of luminous mist that gilds them into virtues. The spendthrift calls himself generous—the miser economical, and the stubborn firm and resolute. Lest we hoodwink ourselves with he flattering th ought that we are displaying only strength of character, let us be very careful about taking a stand. The situation rarely arises when a woman ought to serve an ultimatim on her friends and loved ones. Consistency is a good quality—the open-minded are always respected. It is only the cock-sure man who is twitted when he changes his opinion. Beware of having your way—your own will—all the time. You may be strong enough to get it; but in the very act of always winning your contention you are wronging yourself more than those who give in for the sake of peace. THEY can shun you if you become tolerable, but you can never escape yourself. As we grow older, our traits grow either stronger or weaker. An exaggerated virtue becomes a vice. The woman, naturally resolute, who is a born leader, may very easily, as time goes on, become so that she is really domineering. She will have her way or make a struggle that will strain to the breaking point the dearest friendship. She becomes, in time, ungrateful for concessions and takes them as a matter of course, and there is a storm when anyone challenges her rule. When the break comes at last and an old friend becomes estranged, the stubborn woman has no real searching of the heart, but exclaims: 'I am astonished that she should stand 1910 There is a Knights of Pythias organization on Santa Monica bay.

Irving, brother of the groom, acting as best man. The bride wore a handsome cream lace gown, wreath and veil. The wreath and veil had been worn by her mother; her bouquet was of white carnations and ferns. Many guests were present to witness the ceremony. Many beautiful presents were given the happy couple.

He was a great friend to our people, and it was, indeed, a shock. To the bereaved family, we express our deepest sympathy. The A. M. E.

Continued from page 7. out over a little thing like that!' The habitually stubborn woman fails to see in the act of her estranged friend an illustration of her own actions on all occasions. Beware of the home where every thing moves silently like a great business house under a masterful manager in full authority. The seeming calm is the calm of forced autocracy. Where there is a group of free personalities mutually respectful, there is necessarily some differences of opinion. There is discussion; there must be discussions and compromises. No reasonable person wants to rule all the time. There are different points of view; different likes and dislikes, and the glory of family fife is never fully attained until each member learns to bear and forbear. She same respect that you feel to be due to your personality—that is, your likes and dialikes, your planes and purposes, your ideals and endeavors, your sacred memories and inner aspirations, that same respect will you accord to every other, even to your husband and children. The authority we have over our own children may be so easily abused. Many a child has been driven into chronic rebellion by a mother too rigid in exacting obedience to her will in every trifling thing—what she calls "discipline," while it may be stubborn assertion on her part. Husband and wife should play fair with each other. A benevolent disposition is, nevertheless a depotism. Often an able energetic woman — always self-reliant—makes so many decisions about the children and the household that in time she comes to feel that it is right to make important decisions for the family. When domestic opposition develops she stands ready to defend her prerogative at the cost of a prolonged siege. ALLENSMORTH NOTES. Like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, came the message, "Col. Allensworth is dead!" Were we shocked? Indeed to the very foundation. We have lost a leader, a friend—a noble man, a Christian gentleman—and no one, not even his family, will miss him more than does this little colony.
