The Bunco Politician is a Detriment to any place and must Go Black Warriors Asset for France Volume 27 THE "TURCOS" OR AFRICAN TROOPS OF FRANCE The use by the French of her fierce African troops in this war, and her reliance on her Algerian colonies for food if the war lasts long, has here passed all but unnoted. Yet there is more than this in Africa's role. She is as much the cause of this war as she was of that between Carthage and Rome in the older days of the world, when the great Hannibal first led black troops into Europe. If Germany wins, France stands to lose an empire which for a half century she has been silently building up in Africa. We who live on this side of the water know little of the immense fertility of this African continent and of France's loot held there. We do not realize that France is mistress of nearly 50 per cent of a continent which comprises one-fifth of the land of the globe; that she holds nearly one-half of an area larger than the North American continent by just two million square miles. Her actual holdings in Africa take in a rich area nearly twice that of continental United States. They reach from the banks of the Congo River to the shores of the Mediterranean, and from the Atlantic seaboard to the fertile valley of the Nile. The newspapers here are raving over the expenses of this European war. The money spent in it is a mere bagatelle to the wealth of empire that may be won or lost by it. England almost went to war with France sixteen years ago because the latter was too rapidly absorbing the African continent. When Captain Marchand took the territory covering the water sources of the Nile, with the ultimate possibility of diverting them into the Sahara Desert, the Fashoda incident was created. England demanded his retreat with war as an alternative. France withdrew Marchand, but the incident left a bitter feeling. The truth is that the continent of Africa, some thirty years ago was stolen and divided into a big, luscious pie among various European nations, and Germany came late at the cutting. Worse yet, France having seen the pie first, got the biggest share. Making the Desert Bloom Making the Desert Bloom With all Germany's wonderful commercial expansion, which was accelerated, by the billion of dollars she exacted as war indemnity from France in 1870, she has ever felt the need of room for territorial expansion. She has citizens who make excellent colonists, but she has had no place to send them, England, France, Holland, and even little Belgium, with its rich African Congo, had all got the start of her. Often must Germany have regretted that she did not also exact from helpless France African territory as well as Alsace and Lorraine. But in those days African territory was little valued. Setting foot on this African territory in 1815, in the same year that the United States suppressed the pirates at Tunis, in 1830 France really took Algiers, the city and province, today only a two days' journey across the Mediterranean from her port of Marseilles. Under such governors as the first—General Charon—year by year, slowly, in the happy-go-lucky, apparently aimless fashion which is the seeming vice of the French, she made headway in northern Africa. Even her deep defeat at the hands of the Germans in 1870 did not stop her. And this empire, though founded on a dream, is not fruitless. It is one of solid commerce and prosperity. Soldiers of France, in their advance, have not left a trail of blood and fire. When possible they have used the champagne bottle and a few decorations of the Legion d'Honneur which the natives prize even above the vain The California Eagle French. They have built roads that the Romans might have envied; they have run steel rails through the desert and mountain and forest, through far Abyssinia to connect with the Sudan railroads on the Sobat river. French engineers have drilled wells and drawn water, where there was none. The more daring of them propose to tap the eMditerranean and make the Sahara an inland sea of fertile coasts as it once may have been. They are doing with Africa what we have done with our own great American desert, so primitive and dreary only thirty-five years ago. "When the English occupy a country," runs an international saying. "they build a customhouse; the Germans a fort; the French a road." Today the French have 6000 miles of railway, 25,000 miles of telegraph, and 10,000 miles of telephone in Africa. Trees, grass, cattle, oats, olives, potatoes and beans are grown in abundance. The fisheries of the coast country have been made productive. Doughty Black Soldiers Dougty Black Soldiers Whether France will be tricked out of her African possessions—to which, incidentally, may be added the huge island of Madagascar on the southeast coast—as France has of so many of her colonial possessions—is yet to be seen. It is well worth Germany's time and money to try it. But in the present war what Germany has long feared has come to pass, France is using her black army! Two years ago General Friedrich von Bernhardi of the Germany army wrote: "If the French succeed in making a large African army available for a European theater, the estimate of the French army as compared to ours will be quite different." The quality of these troops is excellent. Hardy by nature, the best of training has been given them. The example is set by the regiments of wild white troops known as the legion etrangere and the battalion des joyeux. These troops, made up for the most part of Frenchmen too wild to serve in home regiments, have the reputation of fearing neither God nor man. Their battle cry is: "if-y-a-de la goutte a boire la haut!" (There's something to drink up there!). The African troops, made up of Arabs, Berbers and other races, led by French officers, are apt pupils for war. They obey an order even better than white men, and have never been known to shirk their share of a fight. In the initial mobilization of French troops, an army corps of these troops were thrown across the Mediterranean, protected by the powerful French fleet at Toulon. With war undeclared at the end of July, by August 8 black troops were leading bayonet charges at Altkirch and Muelhausen on German frontiers. France may yet find that the greatest of her achievements in Africa has been the building of an army there. In peace times the army is limited to about 75,000 men, with perhaps a half million to draw upon for war. Has France affronted civilization by bringing into action on Christian European soil black and Mohammedan troopers? Has she hazarded the moral superiority of the white man? Perhaps. Still, has not the white man disgraced his moral superiority by his desire for la goutte a boire la hout? DOES ITSELF PROUD Kansas-Missouri Club Again Enterains Distinguished Visitors in Our City The question is often asked what makes the Kansas-Missouri Club the most popular organization of its kind in our city. It is easily answered: Because it is an organization which is always up Los Angeles, Cal., OCT. 17, 1914 and doing things worth while, and last week with a distinguished party in our midst; although they came unannounced this organization was equal to the emergency and in less than 24 hours they got up and arranged one of the greatest informal receptions ever held in the city in honor of the Hon. Nelson C. Crews, Grand Master of Masons of the jurisdiction of Missouri, editor of the Kansas City Sun, noted orator and statesman, also Dr. M. O. Ricketts of St. Joseph, Mo., prominent physician past Grand Master of the same jurisdiction, noted orator and statesman, and Geo. K. Love, prominent business man of Kansas City, and grand secretary of the Missouri jurisdiction of Masons. At the Hubbard Residence The reception was held at the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard, 1494 W. 36th street, who are prominent members of the Kansas-Missouri Club. The members and guests came out in large numbers to the fullest capacity of the house. An informal program was rendered, the Kansas-Missouri Club orchestra furnishing the music. Mr. H. W. Davis rendered a solo. At 9 o'clock Vice President Patterson called the gathering to order and introduced J. B. Bass, editor of the Eagle as master of ceremonies, who introduced President S. P. Johnson, who in a few well chosen words on behalf of the club, welcomed the distinguished guests to our city. Grand Master Harris was next introduced and on behalf of the citizens in general welcomed the gentlemen in our midst. Mr. Geo. K. Love was next introduced to respond and made a neat speech of appreciation for the royal reception which had been given them. D. M. O. Ricketts was next glowingly introduced by the master of ceremonies and responded in a speech which stamped him as one of the very ablest of the many noted men who have visited our city in the past few years although the hour was late the people were loath to have him quit and all expressed a desire to hear the learned doctor again, the next speaker introduced by the master of ceremonies was the Hon. Nelson C. Crews, whom the master of ceremonies paid a high compliment as a race leader and orator. Mr. Crews in a happy vein addressed the gathering but owing to the lateness of the hour and to the disappointment of the crowd did not attempt any oratory but was content to express his appreciation and to compliment the club and the citizens upon their apparent progress along the various lines of endeavor. Mr. Crews is one of the greatest orators of the race in this entire country and we anticipate his return as well as Dr. Ricketts at some future date. After the program refreshments were served and all voted the Kansas-Missouri club. Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard the greatest organization and people on one of the greatest occasions ever held in our fair city. REPORT OF COMMITTEE Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 11, 1914 Mr. President, Officers, Ladies and Gentlemen of The Forum: We, your Committee appointed on Sept. 13, 1914, to make arrangements with several of the colored churches of the city to have Miss D. E. Nesty to deliver a temperance lecture, beg to submit the following report: Through the kindness of several ministers Miss Nesty was invited to speak at the following churches, which in return made liberal financial provision towards assisting Miss Nesty through college. Sunday morning, Sept. 20, at Second Baptist Church, the Rev. Mr. J. L. McCoy, pastor; collection $8.78. Sunday evening, Sept. 20, at Tabernacle Baptist Church, the Rev. Mr. J. D. Gordon, pastor, collection $11.32. Sunday morning, Sept. 27, at First A. M. E. church, the Rev. Mr. Greig, pastor, collection $11.03. Sunday evening, Sept. 27, at A. M. E. Zion church, the Rev. Mr. Byers, pastor, collection $4.50. Sunday morning, Oct. 4, at Wesley M. E. Church, the Rev. Mr. W. E. Kinchen, pastor, collection $10. Sunday evening, Oct. 4, at M. Zion Baptist church, the Rev. Mr. J. T. Hill, pastor, collection $15.15. Sunday afternoon, Sept. 13, at the Forum, Capt. F. H. Crumbly, president, collection $40.75. We feel that our efforts have been doubly crowned with success and for that reason we wish to thank the pastors, members and friends of the various churches who contributed largely to the success of our efforts. We also wish to thank the members of the Forum who met with us at the various churches in each meeting and gave so freely of their moral and financial aid. Our thanks go out to the little children who bedecked with caps and pennants sang songs of victory to gladden our hearts and give strength to our backbones. We also wish to thank Mr. Elmer Waller for his generous donation of 100 caps and pennants which the children wore. We know that God's blessing will be upon those who have been interested in this good work. Respectfully submitted by your committee. F. H. CRUMBLY. PROTEST AGAINST SEPARATE SCHOOLS IN EL CENTRO SCHOOLS IN EL CENTRO Attorney E. Burton Ceruti returned from El Centro, California, last week, where he was summoned by telegram to consider the fight which the colored people are making against the separate school set apart for colored people last year. It appears that the segregation of the colored children in the public schools last year arose from the fact that the school buildings were crowded and the superintendent an teachers, offering as an excuse the crowded condition of the schools, set apart a building especially for colored children. This year when the schools were opened the colored children were among the first to apply for admission and the superintendent and teachers were compelled to acknowledge that the segregation of the colored children was not the result of the crowded condition of the schools, but that the colored children were set apart into a school building to themselves for racial reasons alone. The colored people of El Centro are vigorously protesting and have employed Attorney Ceruti to carry the case to court. Many of the members of the El Centro Parents Association, which organized for this special purpose, were former residents of Los Angeles and appreciate the value to their children of the association and contact with the children of other races in the mixed schools, and they do not wish to have their children deprived of the opportunity of receiving their education under the same favorable conditions as other children of the state. The Commercial and Industrial League of Los Angeles, composed of all branches of business men from barbers to bankers, and commission men to contractors, are vigorously fighting the proposed "universal eight-hour law," which is the measure placed upon the ballot at the November 3rd election by the Socialists to enforce a compulsory eight-hour day throughout California for everybody. The league members are acting in behalf of their employees as wel las the general public in the opposition they are framing to this eight-hour law. At first sight, many of the laborers and tradesmen have been prone to think that a compulsory eight-hour law would be a good thing, but recent alarm has been caused by declarations of the leading retail grocers, butchers, druggists, restaurants and others that if the eight-hour law, Proposition No.3 on the ballot, is passed living will go up 20 per cent. It is also feared the news that an eight-hour law is the rule in California will result in bringing a horde of unemployed, single men here from all the I. W. W. strongholds about the country, and the result will be that wages will go down because the new arrivals will have to underbid those already here in the matter of wages—they must all work for less. The employers call attention to the fact that an eight-hour law will not make more work—only more workers. The grocer, butcher and all other rtradesmen must add the cost of extra employees to the price of their goods and everybody will have to help pay the freight. It is also claimed it will be the means of bringing back the Jap and the Hindu and the Mexican to crowd out the white and negro citizens. ALONG JOLITICAL LINES The political situation in Los Angeles as to the part the colored voter is playing is by right at this particular time, worthy of more than passing interest. All of the guns, big, little and of all sorts, are lining up some of them any way they can line, others for real worth and for the things, men and measures which they think stand for the very best interests of the country in which they live. Of course in this, as in all other campaigns, we have the street curb politician, the bunco man and the preacher politician but for all of that the men who do things although they are not seeking the limelight are the ones who the tide of battle rests with and they will no doubt render a good account of themselves at the proper time. Disorganized as Usual That the colored man in the pending campaign is not more in evidence is due to his antipathy to organization, many instances could be cited but as we do not care to put the shortcomings of the race before the public we shall pass this part by unsaid. But lack of organized effort it seems has created an apathy among our people which borders close on to no interest in the campaign; so far only one or two meetings have there been any enthusiasm whatever displayed. The republican managers have not, it seems, made much effort or they have been illly advised as to the situation among our people, and they must remember it takes the same fighting spirit with the black phalanx as that of any other class. Progressives Busy Progressives Busy In the meantime the Progressives have been busy. H. J. Macbeth and W. E. Easton, leading this faith, are working night and day, and it is a foregone conclusion those who work are the ones that get results. We dropped in on a Progressive meeting last week and while there was no great amount of enthusiasm Macbeth and Easton were there hammering away and it is said got quite a few signatures tg their endorsement of Progressive principles. So the political pendulum is still swinging and we as Republicans are aghast at the seeming neglect of the Republicans up to this time to do something along these lines for the success of Republican principles. The one man dictation is frowned on by all. We have here the press and other agencies, which up to the present time have been absolutely ignored in making their battle formations and it is such an unheard of thing to overlook these allies in a political campaign that thousands of the colored voters are absolutely up in the air as to the real issues in this campaign. As the November election approaches it behooves the colored people to select for the various offices men known to be efficient, and must Go tical Horizon capable and unprejudiced. As su- perior judge Frank R. Willis has won the approval of the very best class of colored citizens, as shown by the following endorsement handed him by those of our race who have known him long and favorably. We bespeak for him your united support. We, the undersigned colored voters of Los Angeles county, without regard to party discrimination, hereby cordially endorse the candidacy of the Honorable Frank R. Willis for the position of judge of the Superior Court. For the past six years he has presided upon the criminal bench of this county, without distinction as to race, creed or color. Many colored men have served on his juries and bear testimony as to his impartiality. He should receive the united vote of our race at the coming election: Paul M. Nash, attorney; Rev. C. H.

In the sixth inning with three men , on bases and two out, Arbow, the first sacker and Capt.-Mgr. of the Bees, tripled to left, scoring the ‘three men ahead of him. But him- self was out for failing to touch ‘second. Carlisle Perry was also | one of the stars of the game. His playing at short and pitching was brilliant. Taking all into. consid- eration we must admit that Arthur Arbow has a great team. This is the third straight victory for the | Bees.

He is com "petent in many ways. He has been engaged in construction work all is life, having constructed roads bridges, sewers, culverts and |Iuildings of all kinds. The last building being the nurses’ dormi: tory at the County Hospital. When a change is made in 2 large private interest in this coun. try, what do they do. They look around for a practical man who is | ule to manage that industry in the most economical way. not t cut off the men and reduce the basiness, but to be able to do the snore work with the same capital invested. We, as’ citizens and tax- payers, should use just as much ‘care in selecting a good man as the large corporation, Our coun: try needs just such a man as Rob- ert Houghton, for we are making many improvements and will con- tinue. Let's have a good practi- cal man on the board. Mr. Houghton is one of the best “hoosters” San Diego county has had for years. He has been in- strumental in having a good many people locate in San Diego. To my knowledge he has brought 27 duferent parties to this city. He has made this city his home after spending twenty-five years of his life in the city of Omaha, being «ne of “her best citizens. The sumptions banquet given him and his wife on their departure for their new home was one of the hest tributes ever given to any cit- izen leaving there. The writer wishes to say that after Mr. Houghton is elected su- pervisor he will be the same “Bob” as he was beiore election and can be approached by the humblest citizen, Ile is a Republican and the greatest desire of the under- signed is that every voted in the fourth district will see that Houghton’s majority at the gen- eral election will be so large as to insure: his® election.

TOM _FISHER'S SUC- CESSFUL STAND FOR LOWER TAX RATES [See TS SUee ea 2h Ce OU. 3 ard of Supervisors, Monday, September 21, Tom Fisher, super- visor of the fourth district, stood out strongly for a $2 tax rate in the county and made a motion to the effect that the contingent fund he cut about $65,000 in order that the county tax rate, including school rate, might be reduced to S2 instead of $2.10 as planned by the board, or $2.25 as at first plan- ned. This motion fell to the exe! for want of support The matter was the subject of hot and bitter debate on the part i some of the majority, but after ‘a recess the majority apparently saw the wisdom of acquiescing in Fisher's plan and the reduction to 52. as. proposed by him, was agreed to. Two years ago the rate in San Diego was $2 also; but since that time County Assessor Moulton has increased the valuation more than $1,600,000. This increase in valuation will meet the reduction in tax rate. Credit is due to Fish- er for his unfaltering stand against the proposed increase in taxation, which saves the taxpay- ers about $175,000. The official financial report for the year, ending June 30, 1913, shows that Fisher's supervisoral district, which contains within its bounds the main highways of travel into and out of San Diego had yet the smallest expenditure. His district, No. 4, shows a total expenditure of $5687.24. On the other hand, district No. 1, Super- visor Smith, had an expenditure of $12,287.04; district No. 2, Su- pervisor Swallow, $12,704.99; dis- trict No. 3, Supervisor Foster, $15,688.75; district No. 5, Super- visor Westfall; $24,332.73. In every case the expenditure in the other districts is more than double that in Fisher's, and in one case three nd in another four fegp esky A BEC EG Page| Three as the greater part of those other districts are traversed merely by country roads and out-of-the-way lines of travel and trafic. i ARTHUR L. DORN. .+ Neisines foe Tiakice of the Pack The duties of justice of the peace in a large and rapidly growy ing city like San Diego, requires a man of sound judgment and broad mind to administer justice in the diversified cases that come before that court. Among the candidates for that office at the November election are none who stand a better chance of reaching their goal than Arthur L. Dorn! ‘Mr. Dorn was educated at the Uni4 versity of California; has prac+ iced law successiully and estab- lished an excellent reputation, Thoth with the members of the le” gal profession and the public at large. during his twelve years on ‘the Pacific coast. Mr. Dorn has appeared in a great number of cases in the courts of this state,, and here in San Diego he has been before the courts almost. daily, | where he has not only hecome well! and faverably known to a large | and growing list of clients, but in| social and business circles as well. In a recent interview, Mr. Dorn said: “Iam as independent as any man can be, and I am going to continue the same. Nobody per- snaded me to run for office. Tam doing so of my own free will and accord. 1am under obligations to no one, and the only promises I make are to the commutity at large. If elected justice of the peace. Twill give my entire time to the duties pertaining to the of- fice. Every person, coming before me shall receive justice and equity jin 0 far as it is possible for me to understand same, and unless good anil legal cause be satisfac torily shown, no petson shall, by me, be deprived of his liberty for asingle day. I believe that every person should be paid for services performed; therefore, he who would cheat a laborer of his hire had better stay away from my court. I believe that kindness, hu- man understanding and brotherly love have their places even-in a justice’s court.” If elected to the office of justice of the peace, Mr. Dorn will no doubt add new laurels to a name that already stands high among the, ‘legal fraternity: He is al- pways, fotind on the right side of priest oieeoy aetna dl mike ha tomate hud ies achioat ok: THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE.

Justice of Peace Los Angeles Township: E. JUDSON BROWN. Peace! Prosperity! Union! The burning question is Are you Wet or Dry in the pending campaign. The Negro upitters of Los Angeles take queer ways to perform that task, from a person attending a prize night speaking from the ring on the question of upitt, to a public man on the rostrum speaking for prostitution and the saloon is a long ways, but there are those who are doing it. When the embryotic political managers of the race get through squabbling perhaps then, just men will get their deserts and something tangible be accomplished toward electing a Republican ticket in this county. The fact that the Union Labor organizations are for the universal eight hour law is the best reason for the colored voters to be against it. Great credit is due the Kansas-Missouri Club for their public spirit in entertaining the distinguished gentlemen who dropped on Los Angeles last week. These gentlemen are of the very best that the race affords and this great organization in seeing to it that they were entertained reflected credit not only on themselves but to the race and the city in general. The editor of the Colored Citizen of Bakersfield slowed up in his last issue on his fight against Amendment No. 2. What's the matter? Little Bubber Brown, like Goliath of old, seems to have the white man's Los Angeles Post on the run. It seems as though he has outgamed and outguessed this great organ for the uplift of not his own but another race with the assistance of Lickspittles to do his bidding. Only twenty days more and the voters will register their verdict, as to whether they really want prosperity or a continuation of the panicky times which obtain at the present time. E. Judson Brown is making a winning race for Justice of the Peace of Los Angeles township. He is receiving a stron gsupport from all classes.

To my mind if this law is passed the Socialist party will reap the benefit and through this medium will gain greater power over industries than they now possess. The colored workingman realizes that the Socialist or Unionist party have never professed any friendship for the negro, and has in word and deed objected to affiliating with the negro. STOCKTON Another interesting program was rendered by the Dunbar Literary Society of Stockton on Oct. 11, 1914, at the 2d Baptist Church. Among the numbers on the program was a solo by Miss C. Turner, an excellent recitation on "Toussaint L' Ouverture," by Miss M. Masterson. Another excellent number was that of an instrumental solo by Miss Isabel Boyden and a paper by Miss Ruth Reece. The society will meet Sunday, Oct. 18, 1914, at the A. M. E. Church. The main features on that date will be 30 minutes' discussion on the prominent men of our race. On Oct. 25 the Dunbar Society, together with the 2d Baptist Church, will hold services in commemoration of the death of Colonel Allensworth, at which time an elaborate program will be rendered. MAY BOYDEN. Cor. Sec. The Ministerial Federation elects officers for the ensuing six months: Rev. D. L. McMickens of the Christian Church was re-elected president; Rev. T. Washington of the First Holiness Church elected Vice-President; Prof. Archie J. Williams, of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, re-elected Secretary and Prof. T. A. Green of the M. E. Church elected Treasurer. There is a sort of family feud brewing at U. S. C. That little true story about a certain little affair out there, seemed to arouse some one's animosity. Now we won't say much about this, but hope that every little thing is progressing well. There is a little quotation which says, "Bonds of love bind more securely than bands of iron," so let our spirit of love down our fighting spirit. The Colored baseball team of the Polytechnic High School challenged the colored team from Manual Arts to a baseball game. The game is to be played at Exposition park at an early date, for fifty cent seats for the whole team at the Orpheum theater. May the best team win. VOTE FOR FRANK S.

L. Barnett and J. M. Alexander were the speakers of the evening. Ice cream was served to all in abundance. Late President Alexander explained that on account of the chairman of the entertainment committee taking the funds that had been set aside for the purpose of a more elaborate colation, that part had to be dispensed with. On inquiry we were told this man who had the money was a prominent member of the central committee from the 74th district. May's Ice Cream Parlor May's Ice Cream Parlor Cor. 8th and San Pedro Streets Always awards a welcome to the tired visitor who needs a DRINK!—to the HUNGRY soul who desires a light LUNCH—and, in fact, all persons who will stop in during the week or Sunday and make known their wants for anything in the ice cream, candy, cigars and light lunch line. Among recent delightful affairs was the dancing party given by Mrs. Margaret Alexander of East 15th street at Washington Hall on Central avenue, 150 guests being present. A beautiful yellow and green effect was produced in the hall with chrysanthemums and ferns. The table on which a brilliant cut glass punch bowl stood was artistically decorated in satin ribbons that carried out the color scheme.

A POLITICAL SERMON Rev. W. J. J. Byers, pastor of Zion A. M. E. Church, will on next Sunday morning preach a sermon dealing with the political situation from a spiritual standpoint. All are invited to come out and hear Rev. Byers on this occasion. We are satisfied it will be a treat. THE DREAMLAND RINK We do not take the view of the Dreamland skating rink that the editor of the Free Lance takes. We have visited this place on several occasions and have seen nothing that would cause any criticism whatever. We found it as advertised, a place for good, wholesome amusement. From being a detriment to our people we find it in many ways to be the very opposite—a distinct help and advantage to them. It employs upwards of a score of our people at good wages, it takes them away from many places of evil influences and so far has been conducted on a high plane. We have met the manager. Mr. Eastman, and find that it is his ambition to run a clean, up-to-date first class place, and to employ as many of our people as the business of the place will warrant him to do. When a man like this will come in our midst and puts out his capital to the end that we as a people can get such benefits from it as we do in this instance, it should be a pleasure to us all to show our appreciation by giving to him our patronage. Look at the various places of amusements in this town—moving picture shows, etc.—and see how many of them employ our people in any capacity. Truly so long as this place is conducted as it has been with rowdyism in all forms cut out, it will continue to have the support of our people, the Free Lance notwithstanding. Every day in the week you can satisfy your appetite and quench your thirst at the Cozy Den. Owing to small expense can sell up to date millinery at less than one half you pay in down-town stores. Lovely display on hand. Car fare refunded. Remodeling a specialty. Trimming free of charge. The Colored Workingmen's Club will give a monster rally at Central Hall on Central and Washington avenue next Wednesday evening. All who know this organization know they do not do things by halves and that they will put it on. It will be the largest gathering by far conducted by our people during the campaign. There will be speaking and music by our best speakers and by our best musical talent, and all are invited to come out and attend this meeting. W. H. Sanders, Pres. Worman and Sec. Murray are working hard to be able to present the very best program for the occasion, and the large crowd will be comfortably cared for. Refreshments will be served. See and read the advertisement of the same on another page of this issue. Dr. M. O. Rickett, Hon. N. C. Crews and Geo. K. Love, after a 48-hour visit in our midst, departed for their homes in Missouri Friday evening over the Salt Lake line. They spoke in the highest terms of their visit in our midst and asked the Eagle to tender their thanks for their hearty and cordial reception while here. MRS. HOOKER ENTERTAINS KANSAS-MISSOURI CLUB In our rush last week we failed to mention the grand way in which Mrs. A. Hooker, of 1443 W. 36th street, entertained the Kansas-Missouri Club on the evening of Oct. 6. The house was beautifully decorated in the colors of the two states, a score or more of electric bulbs in the colors of green and yellow. There were in the neighborhood of one hundred guest spresent and at the conclusion of the business session of the club the gathering was served with cream and home made cake and Mrs. Hooker was voted the princess of hostess not only by the club but by all who were present as visitors. Mrs. Hooker was ably assisted by Mrs. McDuff, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Johnson. LOS ANGELES LITERARY AND SOCIAL CLUB HOLD POLITICAL RALLY One of the largest meetings held during the present campaign was the rally given by the Los Angeles Literary and Social Club at their Hall, 130 N. Main street, on last Monday evening. Many candidates were present and addressed the club. Frank B. Alexander presided in a highly fitting and creditable manner. Other speakers who addressed the club were H. H. Boone, F. L. Barnett and Prof. Chas. Alexander. Music was furnished by the club orchestra. Refrehsments were served. MRS. DORA GAMBLE EN TERTAINS DISTIN- GUISHED GUESTS Mrs. Dora Gamble, 1200½ Central avenue, entertained at lunchon to Messrs. Ricketts, Crews and Love of St. Joe and Kansas City, last Friday evening, previous to their departure on the Salt Lake line en route to their home that evening at 8 o'clock. Rev. R. H. Harbert held quarterly conference at Eighth and Towne Monday evening, Ward Chapel on Channing street Wednesday evening, at Furlong Tract Tuesday evening, and will be at Pomona Sunday. Any one wishing the schedule of the early morning cars, will please see Mr. Stanley Bannington. Go to Grand Chorus Concert at the A. M. E. Zion Church, corner E.

Caldwell, D.D., of Philadelphia, Pa., was the guest of honor. The following persons were present: Rev. and Mrs. W. J. J. Byers, Mrs. Vertner Gordon, Mrs. Edwards, Miss Ethel Griffin and Miss Minnie Bell of Berkeley, Cal.

Anderson, D.D., Pastor. The services at the New Hope Baptist Church, the Rev. Chester H. Anderson, pastor, well attended at our church Sunday. Our pastor preached at 11 a. m. from the subject, "There yet remains rest for the people of God when done with the world."

[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 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 --- ```markdown ``` DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES OF THE AFRO- 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. SIXTII: 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. SEVENTII: 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. 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." 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. 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. FIFTEEN: That it is the sense of the Afro-American 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 realty holdings 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 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 out over all 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 life 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 dislikes, your plans 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. Los Angeles, Cal. AMERICA MUST INTERVENE 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 Vop Bernstorff at the Ritz Carlton, also ventured today several predictions. 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 law 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 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 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. Wetz 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 grasping spirit of some Americans whose activity has resulted in the replacirg by the German government of the embargo on shipments of certain kinds to the United States. PASADENA TO CELEBRATE Emancipation Celebration To Be Held on Friday, Jan 1, 1915 On Sept. 22, 1862, President Lincoln wrote a proclamation declaring that all persons held as slaves in the United States shall on the first day of January, 1863 be free, and on that day all slaves in the United States were emancipated. No law is worth the paper it is written on until it goes into effect, and that was Jan. 1, 1862. Some people were so far from Washington, D. C., that they did not hear it until September; that is why they celebrate it on that date. Twenty years ago next January this city held its first celebration, with Rev. O. Sommers, of Oakland, Cal., as orator for the occasion. But since that time he has stepped out of the earthly line, of march and answered his final call. In 1897 Rev. S. W. Hawkins of San Francisco was speaker. In 1898 Dr. Tilman Brown, D. D., of Portland, Ore., was the speaker. He, too, has joined the silent host and is numbered with the dead. Among other speakers, Rev. G. R. Bryant, now in Kentucky, J. H. Kelly, now in Alabama, Prof. E. L. Chew, attorney W. O. Tyler, Rev. W. J. J. Byers, Dr. L. M. Haygood, M. D. D., D. D., and our own Dr. J. D. Gordon, D. D., at present pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Los Angeles and many other noted educators have spoken in our city. Some among the many are Prof. J. E. Shepard, Ph. D. of North Carolina; Dr. J. L. Thomas, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, of Washington, D. C. Dr. W. T. Vernon, D. D., Dr. E. M. Jones, A. M., The Bishops that have spoken here are B. F. Lee, H. B. Parks, W. H. Heard, A. Grant, Prof. John R. Hawkins, A. M., B. W. Arnett, D. D., Prof. J. Garland Penn, A. M., Dr. Booker T. Washington, A. M., L. D., Dr. M. A. B. Masson, A. M., D. D., Bishop J. B. Scott, A. M., D. D. of the M. E. Church. We believe that the greatest body of educators that ever assembled in this country, of our race was that Negro Young People's Christian Educational Association that met in Atlanta, Ga., in August, 1902, and three of them that were in that great program have delivered the Emancipation address in the city. Prof. E. L. Chew, Dr. L. M. Daygood, M.D. D.D., and Dr. J. D. Gordon also the chairman of that great congress. The late Bishop W. J. Gains has spoken in the city. The emancipation extends to all an invitation to join them on January 1 to celebrate. S. B. CARR, Chairman. BROOKLYN RALPH L.
