California Eagle

Gov. of Kansas Really Stands for Square Deal for All Allensworth Colony Makes Great Showing MUTILATED PAGE There are many things that may be said to the credit of Allensworth which might have a tendency to promote more interest on the part of the Negro race, especially in the state of California, which would show conclusively that the establishment of it is the one step that is proving one of the chief factors in solving the Negro question by leaps and bounds. But we will not utilize this space in going into that phase of the subject, other than that which may be gleaned between the lines, contenting ourselves by giving a few of the fundamentals which ought to be conducive to those of this race who are home lovers, and who are seeking a better place a purer atmosphere, in which to reside and to raise a healthier, happier and a freer posterity. Allensworth is now about five years old and is the home of about two hundred happy and contented Negro souls. Its location is ideal, its climate is conducive to the best of health, and its water is without doubt the best within the dominion of the San Joaquin valley. The summers are long and dry, the days being warm, but not the kind of heat you find back east—as prostration from heat is unknown in this country—the nights are always cool, there scarcely being any during the year which does not require warm bed clothing, hence one is always guaranteed a good rest each night. And what is more essential to good health than good sleep? The winters are mild and this is the season in which we have aur natural moisture, the rainfall averaging about 12 inches. This is the season in which the most of the farm labor is done and in which we have our natural pastures and the myriads of wild flowers the like of which is not an easy task to find in any part of this or of any other country. It may be surprising to some to know that there are at Allensworth more than 900 acres of land deeded to Negroes with an aggregate valuation of $112,500. This does not include the land which is not deeded which comprises many more acres of the same estimate valuation, nor does this include the valuation of the townsite properties and the buildings and improvements thereon, which would easily add $20,000 to the amount I have already stated. There are three artesian wells with the miles of ditches and reservoirs and pumping machinery which has a par value of another $4,000, and which cost about five times that sum. You will readily see that there is a valuation of $682.25 for every man, woman and child now living at Allensworth. Here we have a school with two teachers and forty pupils. A building that is strictly modern and was erected by the present board of trustees at a cost of 5,000. The course of study is the regular line of work as found in the rest of the state and is under the county school system as are all other well appointed schools of this county. The course comprises the grammar school work and the first three years of the high school course. Prof. W. A. Payne, a graduate of Dennison University, is principal in charge, and Miss Marguerite Prince, a graduate of the University of Southern California, is his assistant. The aggregate of the salaries paid, these two educational teachers are about $1500 for the term. It is needless to say that these two educators are Negroes, as there is none better known in the state of California than Prof. W. A. Payne, who has been closely allied with all worthy educational projects of the race since his coming to this state in 1906. Miss Prince is a native of California and comes to us from her home town, Pasadena. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Prince, who are among the oldest and the most highly re- The California Eagle spected citizens of that place. We have our own postoffice, officered by a Negro postmaster, in the person of J. W. Singleton, who has successfully held the office for the past three or four years. This statement alone speaks of his efficiency; he, however, has tendered his resignation, to take effect at such time as the government may see fit to appoint his successor. We are pleased to state that there has been a class of three of our most intelligent citizens who have taken an examination as applicants for the office soon to be vacated by Mr. Singleton, who will go into the poultry business on a ten acre plot he has already arranged for. The Allensworth Hotel is conducted by Mr. John Morris and is managed by his wife, who has large experience in that line. Their success is attested by four successful years of business. Mr. Morris is a machinist of no mean ability and is usually kept busy operating or repairing some of the many well-boring machines or traction engines that are so numerous in this part of the country. A neat barber shop is operated by Mr. Frank Milner, a young man of energy and tact, who came here to visit the colony about three years ago, and who never left. He is one of the young men of the race that many about the vices might emulate with success. Mr. Milner also owns several pieces of outlying land. Z. M. Hindsman and his wife constitute the firm of Z. M. Hindsman & Co. This firm carries a very large stock of general merchandising and does a large business. Mr. Hindsman is president of the Municipal League, and is a whole-souled booster for the good of Allensworth and the welfare of the Negro everywhere. Scott-Gross Co. carry a neat stock of school books, stationery and drugs, together with the daily papers and the popular magazines and other periodicals. Mrs. Mattie Johnson conducts a bakery and a short order lunch business, owns her own property, as does everybody else in business—and has about twelve acres of good land beautifully located in the rural district which is utilized for the cultivation of alfalfa and grain for the large flock of chickens, ducks and turkeys she successfully handles. In spite of the tendency of the traveling public toward the automobile, Elmer Carter still does a good business with the old fashioned mode of travel, namely, the horse and buggy. Mr. Carter has quite a number of horses and several conveyances which go to equip his livery stable. There has never been a time in the history of Allensworth when the proposition was on a firmer basis. Indeed, never a time when as firm as now. The water system is now in te hhands of the people. The one thing that has been guessed about all the time is now a settled fact, that Allensworth has all the water that is needed for the land contained within the prescribed area. There are three wells which when pumped supply more water than can be utilized by the farmers here. The only thing yet to be solved is the provision of the machinery and power for pumping. It is well to say that this will be provided by the provisions of a certain contract existing for machinery as given by the Pacific Farming Co. to the people of Allensworth, which machinery will be without cost to the people. The financial depression of the country has, however, touched us in the matter of getting the pumping under way, in so far, that the power companies have not the cash in hand to make the desired extensions of their lines. The retiring board of directors have met with this hindrance, and made no efforts to secure the extension of any of these lines other than to Los Angeles, Cal., OCT. 3, 1914 play a waiting policy, hoping that the financial situation would loosen up, enabling the power companies to extend without cost to the patrons desiring such extensions. Messrs. W. A. Payne, Joe Woods, W. O. Wells and Norvin Powell, together with another to be elected to fill the vacancy caused by the untimely death of Col. Allensworth, are the men who will have the water system in their hands for the ensuing year and much will be accomplished by these able men, all of whom are noted for their ability for getting at the bottom of things and for doing the first thing first and the right thing right. It may be understood there will be some expense attached to the construction of a water system that will have the distribution of about 160 inches of water and about 900 acres of land upon which to put it. Many on the outside are under the impression that since they have given so much per acre for land and water, there ought never be any other expense attached to the project in so far as water is concerned. Bear in mind, should you get a notice stating that your water stock has been assessed for a given amount, don't complain and don't worry, for the men who have it in hand are under the laws of the state of California and are complying with the laws and are only calling for what would be the same as tax on your home. For example. You buy a house and lot, the house may be furnished when you buy it, but no man on woman would think that house was never to cost him another cent. You would have to pay the state tax, the street tax, etc., and would have to paint from time to time, and refurnish as the old furniture played out. So it is with the situation here and elsewhere It may be well to further state, the law provides that the board of directors advertise and sell for the amount of the assessment all stock which is in arrears with their assessments. Now let us all bear in mi dnthat we are doing the things which seem new to some. Don't be deceived into thinking that these gentlemen do not know what they are about when they levy an assessment and make request that same be paid, and don't forget that each has to pay the same amount required of you. The government of Allensworth civilly is in the hands of the two organizations. One the Allensworth Board of Trade, the other the Municipal League. The former controls the affairs of the entire proposition, makes all recommendations for office, improvements, etc., and takes the place of what would be a council in a city, a parent body hovering over the colony at large. The latter is an organization dealing with the town only, and looking out for the improvements and benefits thereof. Mr. W. O. Wells is the president of the Allensworth Board of Trade and is working out many improvements under his administration. In June of this year the supervisors of the county, recognizing the intellectual ability of the citizens of the Allensworth colony, created a judicial district and defined the boundaries thereof, the same as the Allensworth voting precinct and the Allensworth school district. At the primary election held Aug. 25, 1914, Mr. Oscar O. Overr was nominated for justice of the peace, and Mr. W. H. Dotson was nominated for constable. There being but two candidates for each of the two offices, the above named gentlemen were elected. The creation of this district as an act alone goes so far to prove that the fight of the Negro heretofore in the state of California as well as other states, has been on the wrong tack. "If we would be a people we must show our ability as a people." I think it is safe to say here that Allensworth is the only community in which Negroes live where Negroes have made any advancement along the material lines so prevalent at Al- CANNOT BE lensworth. This statement of course will be denied by many, but not successfully refuted. New improvements under way are a church building for the first Baptist church of Allensworth, which is expected soon to make its appearance; an office for the Allensworth Realty Co., and one or two residence buildings, the plans for which have already been accepted; a new railroad station, and many improvements to the roads in and out of the colony. On Thursday of this week a committee will meet at the school house to take up the matter of the erection of a suitable monument to the memory of our beloved founder, the late Col. Allen Allensworth. A small park will be provided for this movement, a grass plot beautified and when sufficient funds will have been raised for the purpose, there will on some glorious day, be an unveiling of a statue for which all Afro-America may well be proud. That which will commemorate the life and death of the Christian, preacher, statesman, citizen and soldier, Col. Allen Allensworth. To further verify the statement that Allensworth has never before been on such a firm basis, have only to say that there is not at this time a single white person having anything to do with the affairs of the colony at all. The Allensworth Realty Co., of which O. O. Overr is president and W. A. Payne is secretary, has the exclusive selling rights of the place and are able to make terms and prices on all lots and out-lying lands. These men have worked very diligently to get Allensworth on a firm basis and after long years of toil and convincing arguments, have convinced the owners of these lands that a Negro community with a white man at the money end was not nor never would be a success, for there are so many things that can't be understood by them that may be so readily understood by Negroes thereby alleviating many of the knotty problems that would inevitably arise, through the former method of cross dealing.

WINNING IN A NEW FIELD OF BUSINESS Invented by Negro GAINING NATIONAL TRADE Boston Men Start Rebarkable Enterprise in Los Angeles, Cal.—Firm Established After Two ears of Experiment—Bids Fair to Cover National Field. By Charles Alexander The American Negro, thought at one time to be contented to occupy the limited sphere of servility, and deemed fitted only for menial occupations, is gradually proving himself worthy of a higher estimate in the public view. The records in the United States patent office at Washington tell the story of his inventions, while a most comprehensive and satisfactory review of his progress in the commercial world is given in the annual meetings of the National Negro Business League. Notwithstanding the fact that there are still doubting Thomases as to the Negro's capacity for civilization, evidences are everywhere to be seen of substantial advancement in the professional and other avenues of American life. There are many unique cases in every part of the country, however, of Negro men gaining headway in worthy enterprises, unnoticed and unidentified by their own people. Such examples of success, when discovered, should serve as a stimulus to other aspiring Negroes, for the inherent capacities of the race need but favorable opportunity for development as some of these instances show. In Los Angeles, California, is located one of the most remarkable manufacturing companies operated by Negroes in the United States. The concern is known as the Improved Electric Blood Circulator Company. Its factory is located at 1908 San Pedro street, while its general office is found at 218 Exchange building, Los Angeles. The company was organ- HE'S FAIR TO ALL MEN Governor Hodges Replies to His Critics on the Race My Dear George: I beg to advise that there is quite a number of Traveling Salesmen who are against you this year on account of some stand they allege you have taken in regard to the colored men and women in Kansas as to a Jim Crow law or something of that kind. A vote of sixteen on the train some time ago, I understand, revealed the fact that nine Democrats and three Republicans out of sixteen were against you. My Dear Sir: I have your letter of the 14th, in which you say there are a number of traveling men who will vote and use their influence against me because of the stand that I have taken relative to the colored men and women of this state. I am sorry indeed that the traveling men, who are of a class of the keenest, most intelligent and most active of any organization in the state, should have a feeling against this administration for the reasons I was a traveling man in this state for a number of years, representing a lumber manufacturing concern. I do not care to discuss the matter, but I doubt very much that the traveling men are as unfair as you have suggested. They are too big, too braud-gauged and too much of gentlemen to entertain the narrow, distorted race prejudice that your letter suggests that they entertain. ized about two years ago and was incorporated under the laws of California as the B. V. E. Company. Its field is national. The capital stock of the company at the start was ten thousand shares at one dollar per share. The chief promoters, Charles R. Anderson, president and treasurer; and W. H. Davis, secretary and manager, are both Boston (Mas.s) men. Other officers are: Charles F. West, vice president; J. Harmon Wilson, engineer; and W. C. T. Durant, office manager. The success of this company is due to the industry and keen business perception of the president and secretary. The experimental stage has been passed. The company's growth in the confidence of a most critical branch of the commercial world has demonstrated the merit of its output and the efficiency of its management. Success can hardly be attained under our present competitive system except upon merit and efficiency. It was not the purpose of the company at the beginning to manufacture its products. The plan was to demonstrate the electrical appliance which the promoters had invested, by administering treatment to such persons as might become interested. With this object in view a neat and attractive office, six private and two waiting rooms, were equipped with modern sanitary furniture. The place presented the appearance of a first class specialist's suite. The $10,000 of capitalization furnished ample funds to justify the first ambitions of the company, but it was soon discovered that the demonstration of the curative value of electricity as conducted by the company's electrical therapeutic appliance, was construed as an infringement of the laws of the state of California regulating the practice of medicine, and so this plan was at once abandoned. Delving into the mysteries of electricity was quite new to the promoters, but by assiduous effort knowledge has been increased Number 33 for All vernor ern Lincoln Nine-tenths of the men and women of this state, irrespective of politics, were indignant at the attitude of a few narrow partisans who live in Kiowa, Kansas, and who petitioned and insisted that I should compel a poor colored woman, whom we paroled to one of the best business men in Kiowa, to leave Kiowa and go to some other place to make her living. This poor, defenseless colored woman, who had made a single misstep, was entitled to as much courtesy as any other man or woman in the state who had made a similar misstep, even though their color is white. She was entitled to the same help, and, frankly, we used the same effort to get her a good position, good, wholesome, Christian surroundings, and with a good family who would help her over the rough places that all paroled people have to travel, and help her to retain a respectable place in the world again. I am glad of the part of this pitiful drama in human life that was accorded to me. In my message to the legislature, I stated there was no necessity for a Jim Crow law in Kansas, and there is no necessity for a Jim Crow law in Kansas, and you may say to the few men who are objecting to my attitude on the Jim Crow law, that there will be no Jim Crow law in Kansas so long as I am Executive of this state. I feel that your letter to me is inspired by the best of motives, but I do not want a man or a woman in Kansas to vote for me under the misapprehension as to my position on the race question, or any other question of moment that must be settled by the voters of this state. (From the Topeka Plaindealer.) with resultant experience and efficiency. To start with, the company had four crudely constructed instruments with which to treat nervous disorders, stomach trouble and ailments resulting from poor circulation of the blood. Success was instantaneous. But new means must be provided for reaching the public with this new and useful invention since it was found unlawful to carry out the plan originally adopted. The resourcefulness of the manager was here given a sever test, but he was found equal to the emergency. Mr. Davis set about to improve the invention with a view to commanding a general market. The rooms fitted up to treat patients were now given over to manufacturing purposes. The company decided to produce a portable electrical machine at a nominal cost. The first machine produced by the company cost about $35.00. This high cost naturally precluded the possibility of creating a popular demand for the machine. The testimony as to the merit and practicability of the machine was sought from electrical experts and, after careful examination, they pronounced the invention in every way worthy of popular use, but in every instance it was agreed that the cost of the product was prohibitive. The company was not discouraged, however, and so under the skilful management of Mr. Davis, many improvements were made on the machine and the cost of its production reduced to $12.50. This Electrical Blood Circulator consists of one mahogany case containing the working parts of the machine, six applicators, conducting cords and a neatly printed instruction book, all completely packed in a carrying case of convenient size. The ailments which can be successfully treated by the Improved Electrical Blood Circulator follow: Aches and pains, backache, biliousness, bladder troubles, bust development, oatarrh, constipa Continued on page 8.

The second day's session was full of interest, and there were many short talks made.

There was a little delay in getting opened yesterday morning, but every delegate was on time and took part in the opening. Rev. W. H. Mixon, D. D., of Selma, Ala., led the assembly in singing "Go Preach My Gospel Saithe the Lord," and made a fervent prayer for the success of the meeting during the entire session. Immediately following the opening Secretary Needham read the Journal, which was approved, and then followed the first skirmish, so to speak. It was the election of a secretary for the session.

EVARD T. HUBBARD, 1532 East 14th St., Assemblyman 74th District an afternoon session if found necessary. Easily the feature of yesterday could be termed the masterly address delivered by Grand Master E. H. Morris of Chicago. It is not surprising that the master mind should produce such an address. He said some plain things to the Odd Fellows. He set forth the position of the Order. "The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, as well as in other parts of the world is the apostle of liberty, and is the defender of the principles of friendship, love and truth," was the declaration made by Hon. E. H. Morris, of Chicago. "We draw no line or race or color, but all human beings who are worthy are welcome, and in any part of the world you are recognized if you are a member of this Order. We received our charter from England and were the first Odd Fellows in this country." Grand Master Morris scored race prejudice as being inhuman, mean and cruel, and marred the happiness of mankind. He was also opposed to sectionalism, Jim Crowism, segregation and everything else which worked against human beings. Continuing his address he said, "I am not prejudiced against a white man, because many of my clients are white; I am not prejudiced against a Chinaman, an Indian, an Irishman or any other man; with men a man is a man, and as for my people, most of you were born down south and moved up here." In his biennial address Mr. Morris touched every phase of the Order, and named some of the men who had been in the way. He scored some of the officers who had not worked in harmony with the administration. At the close of the address the convention took recess until this morning at 10 o'clock. It is thought that there will be a lively time today when the committee will report on the Grand Master's address. Grand Secretary R. J. Davis of Georgia served notice that he would rise to a question of personal privilege after the reading of the minutes this morning. This is the seventeenth session of the B. M. C., the Grand Household of Ruth, the Grand Staff Council, and Grand Master's PETER Golden West Lager Beer SOLD BY ALL DEALERS Council. These' bodies have brought to the city fully 2000 representative colored men and women from all parts of the country. Thirty-seven states were represented at the opening yesterday morning. Among the delegates were doctors, lawyers, merchants, college presidents and professors, teachers, bankers, farmers, editors, clerks, omestic servants—in fact, every line of business, trade or profession is represented. Men and women from the extreme South, all working with those in this section of the country are a unit for the betterment of their race. the Grand Master is one of the most successful lawyers in the nothing about race joys a lucrative practice his clients are some best-people of Chicago. He is kept busy. He leading spirit in around Chicago for contributed much to the Odd Fellows. mand made that he of Grand Master f. It looks that he is go to accept. In that be a few changes in When Grand THURSDAY SESSION. While the fourth day's session of the B. M. C. convention was short on account of the street parade, yet it was interesting andd important, and will stand out prominent in history. No session ever held by the order will perhaps have a greater place, because of the action of the body in providing for a tribute to the memory of men who spoke for the race at a time when it was helpless. "Blest Be the Tie That Binds Our Hearts in Christian Love" was used to open this important session, led by the Rev. Dr. W. H. Mixon, was made by Rev. J. C. Desverney. Grand Master Morris declared the convention opened for business and the journal was read by W Randolph Smith, Grand Secretary for the session. With the adoption of the minutes, followed the announcement of committees. A representative, Thomas J. Monroe, from Ohio, called attention to the importance of the place of meeting—historic Boston—and while he was aware of the fact that the men were not members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, yet they were friends of the race—they gave their best thoughts and their best talent to the race then in slavery, and for that reason he thought that the members should pay a tribute to the memory of the friends of human rights atnd liberty by placing a flower on the graves of Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner. "Let the world know that we are not ingrates," continued Mr. Monroe, of Ohio, "This is our time to act." "While it is out of order," said Grand Master Morris, "I will entertain a motion." And Mr. Monroe made the motion. This brought to the floor at least fifty men who were anxious to second the motion. Rev. W. H. Mixon, D. D., of Alabama, said: "We shall never forget these great men, and as we hold this session in the historic city of our nation, let us not forget our own Crispus Attucks of blessed memory. The man whose blood was the first to flow for our country's independence, and whose name will ever figure in the history of the United States. I am proud of the opportunity to second the motion." "We appreciate the work of our friends," said Henry Lincoln Johnson, Denuty Grand Master, "and I am glad that we are going to take advantage of this opportunity. Let us not forget Robert G. Shaw and Ben Butler. They were also our friends." Their names were then included in the motion made, and, continuing, Mr. Johnson said: "Let us make this a grand occasion. Not only appoint a committee consisting of one from each state, as provided in the motion, but let us also include the Grand Master, the Grand Officers, and the Owcers of the Household of Ruth. Let us make it an occasion. Let us show our gratitude." Then followed the announcement of time and place of meeting of the various committees. Grand Master Morris said that he was Commander-in-Chief of the Uniform Rank of the Order, and as such it was his duty to be ready to move in the parade. "It will soon be ready to start," he said, "and shall we return here after the parade and do some business?" "No, no," was the answer from all parts of the house. "We will then stand adjourned until 10 o'clock Friday morning," he said, and Rev. W. H. Mixon made a short prayer. Hon. E. H. Morris, of Chicago, the Grand Master of America, is one of the most successful and most noted lawyers in the country, saying nothing about race or color. He enjoys a lucrative practice, and among his clients are some of the wealthiest people of Chicago of both races. He is kept busy. He has been the leading spirit in public affairs around Chicago for years, and has contributed much to the success of the Odd Fellows. There is a demand made that he fill the position of Grand Master for another term. It looks that he is going to be forced to accept. In that event there will be a few changes in the slates. When Grand Master Morris called the fifth day's session of the B. M. C., Friday morning, all the delegates were presene and took part in the opening, which was conducted by Rev. Wm. D. Johnson of Georgia. The journal was read, and then followed the visit of the Grand Household by a committee of forty-five women. Miss Annie J. Bowman, of Louisville, Ky., introduced Mrs. M. E. Washington, chairman of the committee. She said, in part: "It is our pleasure and privilege to greet you on this occasion of your B. M. C. assembly and bring you greetings of that large body of women who compose the Supreme Grand Household of Ruth. I crave your patience and interest while I endeavor to present you this message which is yours to spread more widely. "The past biennial term has been one of more than ordinary growth and activity.

With this comes the joy, we are broadening our field, widening our horizon, sowing our seed in new pastures, reaping new harvests in far-away places, climbing onward and upward, rejoicing in the vast army following our banner.

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 raze. 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. WORK IN LOS ANGELES composed a special piece for the occasion, might be made; it was entitled, "The Path 'of Destiny." Rev. S. L. 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. Mr. W. M. Jackaman of the Soldiers' Home, Sawtelle, is the house guest of Mr. Geo. Gamble, this week. POOR ORIGINAL NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN Friends have recently heard from Mrs. Bertha Turner of Pasadena, who left for the East in July as a California representative to the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, which met in Wilberforce, Ohio. Mrs. Turner is visiting rel ative in Indianapolis and promises to be home in October. On her return she will make stops at Chicago and St. Louis to visit a brother. Following are clippings from her report: "The convention met August 4 to 7 inclusive. "Tuesday evening, August 4, in Galloway & Arnett Hall an informal reception and program were tendered the delegates and visitors. Miss Hallie A. Brown, assisted by the Ohio club, was hostess. Mrs. Margaret Washington was president. Wednesday, August 5, at 9 a.m. the convention was called to order by the president, Mrs. Washington. The meeting opened with devotional exercises. Immediately, a gavel—made from a cherry tree that grew at the home of John Brown—was presented the president through Mrs. Mary Tolbert of Buffalo, N. Y., from Mrs. McCoy of Detroit, Mjch. There were more than 400 delegates seated by states alphabetically. In the appointment of committees Mrs. A. Wright of Santa Monica was assigned to the Resolution committee, and Bertha Turner to the Auditing committee. All sessions were very interesting and everyone seemed to be filled with enthusiasm. Kentucky sent 100 delegates; Illinois 79 delegates, Ohio 54 delegates; Indiana 25 delegates. Reported over $1,000 raised for charity. California 2. Twenty-eight states reported good work in the maintenance of orphanages, day nurseries, girls' homes, old folks' homes, kindergartens, reformatories, etc. The national organizer, Mrs. Elizabeth Linzy Davis, reported 115 new clubs and 1,000 subscribers for the "National Notes." Mrs. Ida B. Cummings, corresponding secretary, reported that 300 Negro babies were born daily in Maryland. Therefore, mothers must be trained The Georgia club women have succeeded in getting five colored girls into the white kindergarten training school who graduated with honor. Delaware raised $5,000 within a few months for the support of a "Settlement House, property worth $10,000. The Governor of Alabama appointed five colored women on the school board. District of Columbia reports breaking up the 'red light" district and getting a colored woman matron for the station. Membership 1,000. Florida federation of 25 clubs supports a rescue home for girls valued at $8,000 — indebtedness $960. Virginia Federation, a resue home for girls, paid-$5,200. A white friend contributed $2,000, and an annual contribution of $3,000 by the state. Mrs. Upton Taylor of Ohio, a suffrage leader, complimented the association as the first national body of women to unanimously adopt votes for women. Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown of Sedalia, North Carolina, electric fied her hearers in a 15 minutes' address on the peculiar mission of the Southern Negro. She mentioned that education is the solution for advancement. No race can succeed so long as another is allowed to do its thinking. Among the many visitors were Mrs. Dunbar, mother of Paul Lawrence and Mrs. (Bishop) Lee. Friday, August 7, was the elec- Mrs. Margaret Washington rejected president, Mrs. Mary Talbert, vice-president. Many talented young people appeared on the program, among them our own Mrs. Florence Cole Talbert, in song, now a resident of Columbus, Ohio. Continued from page 2 Revs. W. H. Mixon and H. L. Johson of Maryland. The proposition was considered by the convention, and so continued until 1 o'clock Saturday morning, and then followed the report of the committee on the Grand Master's address, read by J. C. Asbury of Pennsylvania. The motion to adopt the report brought to the floor B. J. Davis, of Georgia, and he made the fur fly, so to speak. It was then that he took the opportunity to answer the charges made against him by the Grand Master. Mr. Davis paid a compliment to J. C. Asbury by speaking of him as an ex-Odd Fellow. He declared that Asbury had tried to break up the Order in Georgia and Alabama because he could not get an office, and the Odd Fellows were forced to go into court, take out an injunction against the Ancient Order of Odd Fellows. Hon. H. L. Johnson, Deputy Grand Master, spoke on the report. Grand Master Morris replied, as did J. C. Asbury, and the committee's report was adopted. All night long the B. M. C. was in session. Then came the election, and the following officers were duly elected: Grand Master, Edward H. Morris, re-elected; Deputy Grand Master, Julius C. Johnson, Maryland; Grand Treasurer, W. David Brown, New York; Grand Secretary, James F. Needham, Pennsylvania; Grand Directors, A. T. Shirley, Virginia; E. P. Jones, Mississippi; J. H. Johnson, North Carolina; George H. Mays, Florida; I. L. Roberts, Massachusetts; Grand Auditors, T. J. Green, South Carelina; W. H. Mixon, Alabama; J. H. Miller, New Jersey. One of the most hopeful and peaceful signs of continued friendship, love and truth was at the close of the session, when, with tears running down their cheeks, Grand Master Morris and Benjamin F. Davis, of Atlantn, Ga., grasped each others hands. Truly the same was beautiful to behold, and offered a good example to the large delegation as to the real friendship, love and truth. Washington, D. C., was selected as the meeting place in August, 1916. After a very pleasing session and an excellent report during the past two years, the following officers were elected in the Grand Household: Mrs. Mary A. Parker, Most Worthy Grand Superior, D. C.; Mrs. Martha J. Wells, Right Worthy Grand Superior, Pa.; Mrs. Jessie L. Page, Grand Treasurer, Superior, Fla.; Mrs. B. E. Detoscane, Grand Worthy Recorder, N. Y.; Mrs. Mary E. Washington, Grand Prelate, Ind.; Mrs. Carry Brown, Grand Worthy Usher, Mass.; Miss Minnie L. Bradley, Grand Worthy Chambeigain, Gonn.; Miss Bessie Malone, Grand Worthy Shepherd, Miss.; Miss L. P. Fortune, Chairman Committee on Government, Ga.; Miss H. E. Caroline, Committee on Government, Ark. The Proposed Universal Eight- Hour Law. 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 pilfers of our commonwealth. If we wil fully dest,oy 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 opressive now, what would it be if we, by such a law, voluntarily double and treble the price of the necessaries of life? If you think that it will not affect you, remember that every consumer of food stuff will have to pay his share of the added cost of production. 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. Most certainly the liberty of the individual would be unwarrantably curtailed if the farmer, the dairyman, the fruit 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 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 seasons 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 consequence, labor is scarce at that time, the period of harvesting being too short to invite an influx of 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. [The universal eight-hour law must be defeated or approved as it stands, here is no way to amend it; therefore the vote in Novem must be an intelligent and decisive one. The law, as submitted, applies to every worker in the state, male and female, including household help, trained nurses, railroad and Pullman porters.] THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE.

Edward Judson Brown is entitled to the united support of our people for justice of the peace. The republican managers evidently plan a hurricane finish in the pending campaign. What has become of the Los Angeles Negro Business League? It should get busy. We can not run a newspaper on hot air, and as much as we admire some of the candidates we can not buy ink to boost them on the asset of hot air. The progressives who are planning such a strenuous campaign among the colored voters will have a chance to tell them of Jim Crow up at San Quinten and why the state capitol is depopulated of colored representation. We would like it understood that the Eagle is not dependent on campaigns to run. We have a faithful clientage who are with us at all times, and matters we carry in political campaigns are only incidental. Now we shall in all probability see what the colored managers can do in a political campaign as the members of the county central committee have been assigned the task of getting out the colored vote. TAKING A STAND The Free Lance, published by W. J. McLamare, is entitled to great credit. It has the courage of its convictions and takes a stand on the liquor question and presents its side of the question. We see other lightning by sheets that have no sentiment, take no stand, and you can not tell where they are at, so therefore the Free Lance seems to be in line to cut ice in the pending campaign. We are running on our front page this week a clipping from the Topeka Plaindealer showing Governor Hodge's, of that state, attitude on the question of human rights. Now Hodges is a democrat, but it seems since he has been governor for the past two years, that he has seen to it that the colored people of the state received a square deal, especially in so far as he as governor of the state could help them. They were appointed to positions in the various state institutions and in every way they were recognized. He, it seems, was a regular Abraham Lincoln Democrat who stood like a stone wall for a square deal for all men. His answer therefore to some of the crackers who wrote is interesting reading. So in Kansas we believe that unless the provocation is great on the G. O. P. side the Negro voters would be more than justified in standing by a man like Hodges. Or will history repeat itself as in the case of Gov. Jno. W. Leedy, who was the Spanish American war governor of that state who appointed Negroes to every conceivable office, gave them a regiment officered by colored men, ano for all this Boland Townsend, Prof, Vernon and their Hookey Jim argument lined up the black phalanx against their political friend and benefactor and the Negro swung back in the old rut. WILL THE NEGRO STAND THE TEST? A few years ago while he was yet governor of New Jersey, in an address before a mixed audience where Booker Washington was present, Woodrow Wilson said that the only solution to the Negro problem, if there was such a thing as a problem, was his ability to compete economically with the white workman of this country. In the South the Negro still holds the fort as workman, in all avenues of common labor, but in the North and East there are but few vocations open to the Negro, and the few that he has filled in the past are being taken away from him and filled by others. Whether this change is due to a growing prejudice on the part of the white man or it is because the Negro has not made good, we are not prepared to say. But since we are making our home in California, and publishing a Negro journal for the edification and enlightenment of our people along certain lines, and since we have recently covered the state, we feel it our duty to make some suggestions at this time concerning the rapid changes that are being made in California that will affect the interests of the race. Few of us realize that the population is growing by leaps and bounds. Within the past week there have been many thousands added to the state's population, and among them came the Negro. We are aware of the fact that most of our people who come to California from other sections represent the poorer and most depressed classes. Of course climatic and other conditions are especially conducive to Negro emigration, and so it is—he comes with no warm smile, other than the rays of the tropic sun, to greet him. For as a race just a little way up the hill is sufficient to make us look down with a degree of scorn on the fellow at the bottom. We have not yet learned that we must fight it out together if we would succeed; demand and gain the respect of the white. We have been far, far too long a time the target at which all other races have hurled their prejudices. Almost daily we get communications from members of the race complaining of some injustice dealt out to him by the other man, and asking the press to suggest a remedy. Now the only remedy that the press, the pulpit or any other agency may suggest for this condition is, get together in all walks, support Negro enterprises, pull up and not down; don't decry the efforts that are being made by individuals or corporations connected with the race.

The manufacturers are now at work, The El Dorado Gold Star Mining Company makes announcement that on the 10th day of September 1914, its board of directors executed a contract with manufacturers of the City of Los Angeles, for the building of their machinery to be operated by the company, in the milling of the vast tonnage of rich ores on the dumps of their excellent properties, located in the El Dorado Canyon Mining District, Clark county, State of Nevada. The manufacturers are now at work, and promise to have the machinery and the equipments, with all the essentials thereto belonging for the installing of a plant complete, ready f. o. b. within six weeks from the time of letting of contract. All stockholders having entered into contract for the stock of this company are requested to close said contracts as early as convenience will permit. The board of directors is now seriously considering the advisability of advancing the stock of the corporation, but undecided as yet, whether the stock shall be $2 or $3 a share. The stock of the company is selling at present at $1 a share, but no guarantee that the price will continue long at that figure, except so stipulated in contract. If you care to take advantage of the opportunity that offers the biggest profit making investment ever made in all your experience, then it will be well that you do not hesitate, but act at once. After the machinery arrives on the property of the company, it is supposed that within three weeks thereafter, the installation will be complete and the plant ready for operation. The plan of the board of directors is to install a plant twenty ton daily capacity, and after a few shipments have been made of the concentrates, or values to the smelter, the company will be provided with sufficient funds as a result of the shipments to increase the capacity daily from sixty to a hundred tons. This would mean an output in values from $300 to $2,000 in milling the low grades of ore—to say nothing of the higher grades. You should see our regular authorized agent in your vicinity at once, and in case there is no such agent—then remit direct to the company by registered letter, postoffice money order, express order, or by check The company will not be responsible for your remittance, except sent in the manner named EL-DORADO GOLD STAR MINING COMPANY N.

JUSTICE KEATING SHOWS JUDICIAL QUALITIES IN COMPOSING DIFFICULTIES Vito Callelle, Italian laborer, stood woebegone before Justice of the Peace J. Edward Keating. A sentence of $100 had just been imposed 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 EDWIN REED TIES 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.

See ye the obstacles, and also the opportunities that will confront us when the mammoth gates of the gigantic canal opens to the world's traffic. Have you realized what effect this will have on your labor? With thousands and thousands of immigrants passing through the canal to America to seek their fortune? I answer to the above paragraph. The effect will be this: That these immigrants will be willing to take our positions regardless what they may be, for cheaper wages than what we are demanding or getting at the present. They will also inform our employers that be, or she, is paramount to all of us in every way. Now, the point is this: Are we going to let them marm us while our eyes are open? I think that we, as a race, should intercept them before they start. We can do so, by filling the position we have at present, regardless what it may be, to the best of our capacity. We should try to save a certain portion of our earnings every month, put it in the bank or invest it in some good investment, and then you will have an income; but don't stop working, as you must continue in order to increase your fortune, and that, too, will put more obstacles in the immigrants' way. Look at the conditions that prevail at present on the Pacific Coast, foreigners have taken nearly all our places. Why? Because they work better? No; because they work cheaper! Five years ago we could get a job anywhere, and demand good wages; but today we have to take what we can get, and if we don't keep our eyes open, in another year there won't be anything for us to get, as the foreigners will be seeking all our jobs, like starved wolves seeking a feast. Now, dear readers, this is not an imaginary dream; but a fact, and now is the time to prevent conditions that may prevail in the near future. We have made a pheneonal progress in fifty years, and, as a race, we are the most talked of people in the world. We are noted for our ambition and our integrity; and this, too, will help us to achieve victory over the foreigners seeking our positions. [To be continued next week] T. J. F.

Be Loyal To Your Race [From the Colorado Statesman.) Every race has its own charac. teristics and peculiarties. 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 dark. The hair of some is soft straight and flowing; another, stiff and coarse, and another short and crisp. If you observe more clorely and come into closer contact, we note they differ in habits, manners aod custome, and modes of think. jing. Why ie thie,and for what purpose? The answer must be because God, the Almighty Crea- tor, made and ordained them 0, and hence for the best. They serve His great purpore. Holy Writ tells that He created each after hie kind. It ie plain, then, that this is a universal law stamped upon tne very face of our being and is de signed by the Creator for the ac- complishment of a great end. Since this is true, each race can contrib- ute most to the world by develop- ing ite peculiar characteristics to their fullest exte:t.

Judge Chambers Mr. Battey claims that in com- pany with two ladies he purchased tickets for the night performance at the Hippodrome theater on September 12th, and while wait- ing for admission to the auditor ium downstairs was told to go up- stairs. Mr. Battey Says that he and his friends refirsed to do so, and waited ten minutes for ad- mission to the first floor, and that when he. and his friends started to take seats on the first floor the “fun” began. Employes, manag- ers and owners of the Hippo- drome theater were all in attent- an¢e. At the trial all agreed that five or six people, including em- ployes of the theater, a special po- liceman, the officer on the beat land 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 down- stairs he was seized by the coat and violently shoved back, at the same time being told that he could not sit downstairs, but hat-to go upstairs; that within two or three seconds a crowd of employes sur- rounded Mr. Battey, handcuffed him and conducted him to the sidewalk in no gentle manner from whence he was delivered to police officers who formed an es- iort for him to the city jail. Tyler & Macbeth appeared as ‘counsel for Mr. Battey.

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 2 ‘stape 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 re- count 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 Wil- son feels better, Mauser cannot help but feet better and justice has prevailed.

Race Man Sues Lunch Room Proprietor for Non-Service. After an hour's acrimonious discussion, a jury consisting of five men who claimed they were not prejudiced, declared that R. V. Green was not entitled to damages because the proprietor refused him service. Mr Green was represented by Attorney H. C. Gardner, who had all the evidence necessary to secure a verdict in his favor, and any fair jury would have given him a favorable verdict. J. J. Rehbock, proprietor of the lunch room, was represented by a Southern "Cracker"—G. C. Burkart, who insisted on a jury trial. During the trial he remarked that the negro was of an inferior race, and also referred to the Bible and said that the Lord put curses on Ham. His remarks were met with jeers by the spectators, and the Judge had no rap for decorum.

I beg to thank the people of this county for the large vote received by me at the primary election resulting in my nomination as district attorney. This vote by the people at large has convinced me that they are satisfied with a just and intelligent enforcement of the laws. If re-elected the only promise I make is that I will give to the performance of my official duties the same attention and consideration that I have in the past. I take the position that the only things which should influence a district attorney in the performance of his public duties are his official oath and the laws of the state; that he should not enter up the duties of this important office with any other obligations resting upon him. FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY D. V. MAHONEY D. V. MAHONEY Among the candidates who are most popular just at the present time may be mentioned D. V. Mahoney, who was successful in securing the nomination for the office of district attorney at the recent primaries. Mr. Mohaney is a man who has a wide acquaintance and his winning manner is enlarging his circle of friends very rapidly. Mr. Mahoney is making a clean campaign for the office to which he aspires, and the Eagle has every reason to believe that he will be successful. He has the support of a large number of the best people in the county. The reason for this is that he has always been fair in his dealings. ```markdown ``` 2100 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Central Very truly yours, H. S. UTLEY, District Attorney INITIAL WORK ENT— of. H.

In making the race for the office of district attorney, which is one of the most important offices in San Diego county, Mr. Mahoney announces himself for clean government. The district attorney can not make the laws. It is his duty to enforce them. It is not his duty to subvert them. He can only see that the laws are obeyed, and after all this is a most important duty. If the laws are enforced, clean government is the result. Mr. Mahoney expects the support of every voter who has the best interests of San Diego county at heart. If the opinion of a large number is to be taken into consideration, he is the logical candidate for the office at this time. Continued from page 1. After various experiments, the company finally produced a machine which has been pronounced by electrical authorities as one of the most practicable, valuable and remarkable yet placed upon the market, and the price is within the reach of every man. This machine is called Anderson's Portable Polysine Generator, and it is truly wonderful. Up to the present time the company has expended nearly $20,000 in establishing the business. Last December, at an expense of 5000 the company sent its president and an electrical engineer to Chicago for the purpose of obtaining the best material possible with which to construct its machine. The trip to Chicago proved a great success. The representatives of the company returned and with new zeal and enthusiasmmf, started out to place a new machine upon a larger market. It is now the purpose of the company to sell stock throughout the country. As a race enterprise this company offers a most promising and attractive investment. The means already available are sufficient to conduct a business limited to the state of California, but so practical and useful an instrument should have a wider and more extensive use and hence the greater ambition of the company to meet the demands of the waiting public. Dr. Albert Abrams, of San Francisco, the foremost author- ```markdown ``` Los Angeles, Cal. ity on electro-therapeutics in the world, pronounced this wonderful machine one of the best contributions made to the medical profession in recent years. It is gratifying to those interested in this company to note that its stock is carried in leading drug stores and surgical houses along the Pacific Coast. Such companies as the Owl Drug Company, the Sun Drug Company and various surgical instrument houses have entered large orders for the machine and other products of the factory. The company manufactures altogether fifteen different styles of therapeutic electrodes, recognized by surgical instrument dealers to be perfectly satisfactory both in quality and price. While the Electrical Blood Circulator and Anderson's Portable Polysine Generator will lead to the attainment of health and beauty, it offers to race investors a grand opportunity to make money by manufacturing a high grade, legitimate machine, and building up a splendid enterprise. ANOTHER REASON FOR US TO GET TOGETHER A reader from Long Beach writes the Eagle in reference to the chairman of the reception committee of the W. R. C. of the G. A. R. At a recent reception by Bartlett Logan corps, G. A. R., refusing admission to the hall of colored men and saying, "No nigger should eat in their hall." This being the Hall of Records and furnished free of charge, the writer craves our views in the premises. We will say in answer thereto, even though we have thrown aside the voke of chattel slavery, we are suffering from the new sort of slavery, a condition which can only be eradicated by us as a people. 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. The great solution to this and other indignities put upon us as a race is to get together along all the various lines of effort and fight until we gain all the rights which are ours. If the Progressive vote in California dries up like it did in Maine it will simply be easy pickings. With the campaign coming on the curb-stone politicians are now working overtime. 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 hay with that vote.
