Our Appeal for Justice in this State Receives Hearty Response Dr. M. O. Ricketts Reviews Visit of Himself and Nelson C. Crews and Geo. K. Love to Los Angeles in Kansas City Sun Volume 27 The pleasure resorts about Los Angeles are too numerous to mention, but lest you should at some time go to Los Angeles we ask you not to fail to visit the Ostrich Farm, the Alligator Farm, Passadena, the home of the rich, Busch's sunken Garden and Venice, or some one of the ocean resorts. We were especially interested in our own people and in what they were doing. We were domiciled in the Golden West hotel, where we found elegantly furnished and lighted rooms with good clean beds, hot and cold baths and every other thing needed to make up a modern hotel. The help was polite and attentive. The cafe was right up to date and gave splendid service at reasonable prices. When we went into the barber shop the barbers were all busy except a lady attendant. She informed Mr. Crews that she would cut his hair and shave him if he so desired. He informed her that his only serious objection was the fact that if the work did not please him he could not cuss her right out in church, but would have to go down by the big gate. We never heard him cussing, hence another avocation has fallen to the new woman, and in it she seems to be making good. Mr. Crews seemed desirous of strutting around all filled up with pride over the fact that a lady had cut his hair and would have put on airs had not George reminded him that a lady had cut his hair many times when he was a lad. Mr. Crews suggested that that might account for the fact that Love would never be able to have it cut pompadour. I feel George had no feeling in the matter and that is why I refrain from quoting what he said in reply to the very caustic statement of Mr. Crews. We were anxious to know what part, if any, the colored brother was taking in the wonderful growth and development which was so evident on all sides. We were fortunate indeed in finding our old friend Joe Bass, who did much toward helping us secure the desired light on the subject. He showed us many places of interest. We went with him to the home of his niece, Mrs. Gambie, where we stumbled upon some sort of a ladies' meeting, and from the hand shakes and exchange of greetings between Mr. Crews and Mr. Love one would have judged it to be a club meeting of Kansas City ladies. Having just invested 5 cents in a generous box of red, ripe and healthy sized strawberries I did not feel lost or neglected, but managed to keep reasonably busy trying to see just how long one box could hold out against the assault I was making on it. As a result of this call, and the Kansas City spirit of genuine hospitality, we were invited to a chicken dinner that evening, and although unnecessary to add, we went, and when we weighed chicken to the right of us, chicken to the left of us, etc. The dinner was served by Mrs. Addie Hooker and surrounded in she was by every convenience of her elegant home, beautifully furnished, she proved herself a most charming hostess. She greatly impressed one of our party, but we are free Masons, and I am not going to divulge the secrets of a brother. After the dinner party we went to the elegant home of Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard, where the Missouri-Kansas Club tendered us an informal reception, where we were met by many of our old friends from Missouri and Kansas. To the California Eagle we are indebted for many kindnesses, and finding it difficult to eliminate the personal equation from any account of the reception which we might write, we are going to let the Eagle tell the story for us. We desire to state right here that the managing editor is no editor at all, for she is an editress. A talented little lady from away down East, where they can put the ah sound on their a's without seeming affectation. The Kansas-Missouri Club is a fine social organization and has for its purpose the entertainment of worthy people who come from "home". We met many charming people at this reception and some who have made their impress felt upon the new life which they sought for themselves in the golden west. The California Eagle As a part of the training of the old slave regime every Negro believes he can do anything any other Negro can do or has done, and he is willing to try, therefore the mean things which are done by members of his race are kept constantly before him. The Negro press must keep well in the foreground the fine things being done by the Negroes' brain and brawn. We were not asked to philosophize but to write the story of a trip. We are becoming enamored of Los Angeles, so that we must hasten away lest we decide to remain. Before leaving this dreamland we want to give a brief resume of conditions among our people. LODGES. Masonic—Five symbolic lodges, three Royal Arch Chapters, two Commanderies Knights Templars, one temple, one consistory and two chapters O. E. S. Odd Fellows—This organization owns a $75,000 property, free from debt, and has five lodges and four Households of Ruth. Pythians—The Pythians have two lodges and two Courts of Calantthia. U. B. F.'s—The United Brothers of Friendship has two lodges and two temples of S. M. T.'s. Knights of Tabor—The Knights of Tabor has two lodges and two tabernacles. We find in Los Angeles ninephysicians, ten attorneys, four drug stores, several undertakers and any number of barber shops, cleaning and pressing establishments and pool and billiard parlors. When we asked Joe Bass about the churches, he showed a lack of information which was marvelous. We did, however, go through the church of the Pecks and other distinguished ministers, and we had a pleasant chat with the present pastor, who needs no higher indication of our impression of himself than the fact that Grand Master Los Angeles, Cal., NOV. 28, 1914 Crews engaged him on the spot to succeed Dr. Thomas, who now fills the pulpit of Allen chapel, and whom Mr. Crews declares to be without a peer in the African Methodist Episcopal church. I asked Mr. Crews why he did not say Dr. Thomas was in a class by himself, and he replied very pointedly, saying: "Anybody can be that. Why, even George Love is that." Dr. Thomas is in a large and brilliant class, and stands at the head of that class. It is said that 60 per cent of the colored people of Los Angeles own their own homes and many of these homes surpass in elegance anything we have seen elsewhere. They are mostly on the Bungalow order and have very artistic interior decorations. In the foregoing article the names of many of our citizens were mentioned which for lack of space we have left out. Special mention was made of their entertainment, the dinners given and those present at the same. Timely Advise on Timely Subject Timely Advise on Timely Subject By Capt. F. H. Crumbly To the California Eagle: Since it is true that our local newspapers are at all times on the alert in the interests of the colored race in this city and are really and truly deserved of the most liberal support of the colored people, I am sending you this note to call attention to the fact that we are very much in need of colored men and women in this city as probation officers. The white people are not able to reach our case, they do not understand our people as one of the race can; Our young people, in many cases, are going to the bad every day and need the protection of the law governing this branch of our welfare. In the South the city and county councils depend upon some designated men and women to do this work among colored people. Here in this city there is an army of probation officers who see to it that the children of their race is looked after; they know their people and understand how to reach the cases among them, but they do not understand as much among the colored folks. We have many civic and Christian organizations that could with becoming propriety take this matter up with the city and county officials and give our young folks this protection. We constantly stand in the background and complain of what ought to be done but fail to carry the issue up to the attention of the people having charge and whose duty it is to care for this condition, from past reports we are inclined to the belief that the authorities have been and that they are now willing to do their duty by our neglected colored youths who are going to the bad simply because they are neglected. Let us not put this matter off any longer, but let the men and women of the city awake to duty and send their representatives into the local councils and urge that this civil protection be given our young people. It is child's play for us to be complained to each other all the time and incidentally saying hard things about the white folks who are going right along building up their own people while we stand out at the back gate and grumble. Let us go to them like men and appeal to the Christ spirit that is in them and in this, as in the past, they will not only hear us but try to remedy the evil. Let our men and women go in and take the examination required by the law, and if found to be silible let us have reasonable confidence in the heads of the department to believe that they will do their duty, but let us all get together on a man or woman and urge his or her appointment whenever a vacancy occurs. We are largely responsible for many of these conditions against which we complain, in that we fail to do our duty as plain citizens. We have no just right to sit idly by and expect others to do for us what we are too lazy to do for ourselves. This is the business of the plain people, the people who have their homes here and upon whose shoulders the credits and discredits of the race fall, and who are held responsible by the white people. Every tax payer contributes his part to this sort of work, and every class ought to be benefitted thereby. There are thousands and thousands of dollars paid out yearly for housing and care for dependent children and neglected widows and aged people among the white race, but the negro people of this class have to root-hog-or-die. Surely all of this one-sided condition can't be charged to the white people for, as I see it, we do not ask and they do not know that we need or desire this lawful help. Some people say, why don't the Forum take this matter up? We answer that this is the people's business, and it requires the full strength of all the people in affairs of this kind. Where is the long list of other organized forces we have, and what are they doing except grumbling and cussing at the back gate. There are the teachers or educated folks, they have influence; the different secret orders all have influence; the churches and the Ministers' federation all boast of their power and influence. The Y. M. C. A., the brotherhood, the Women's clubs, the mutual aid societies all have influence, as do all other race organizations. The preachers are in the ascendancy in most things concerning this race of ours, they have the respectful and patient ear of the people and they are in the advance guard to unselfishly, undenominationally and potentially advocate the needs of this people. Let us all pray that these and all other agencies for good be brought into concerted action in this and other race needs. I don't want it understood that anything herein said is in any way intended to reflect on any one organization; not so, but to call attention to our own needs and our own failures to get relief as provided by law. An appeal to our ministry in a particular manner is not out of place in view of their forward position in the affairs of the life of the people. The lavity controls in most things among the white people, but as we have not the facilities to command things we must adopt the spirit of persuasion that one that has delivered us from all the crisis in the past and will not desert us today. By all manner of means let us have at least two probation officers to care for our children. Don't let the argument be advanced that we have not enough dependents to have two such officers, for that is not true; it may be true that there is not, enough children in the hands of the probation department now to require the service of two, but there would be many more if the white probation officers knew our folks as well as they know their own. We know that there is a belief on their part that they know us quite well. Well they do in many ways; they know that we have been true to them, they know that when a man is needed to defend the flag, that we can be depended on and that we never lost a battle. They know, The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a person standing in front of a brick wall.

Zion Church for two weeks beginning Sunday the 29th The Baptists of California were highly elated over yesterday's event. The Old Folks Home at Abila was the scene of the Thanksgiving affair which was the rendition of a high class literary program, furnished by members from the several missionary societies and pastor, and the mortgage burning. Of course it was the mortgage burning that attracted the interest of the people, since this simple, but inspiring service spoke volumes in the way of a hopeful future for an institution that is destined to be one of the grandest Negro enterprises in the West. Dr. J. L. McCoy, moderator of the Western Baptist Association, is quiet in his manner of doing things, but in his management on this occasion shows superior ability for doing things in a creditable way. Three of the oldest workers of the enterprise were selected to perform the ceremony of the mortgage burning, yiz., Mrs. F. J. Johnson, who presented the mortgage to Rev. C. H. Anderson, while Mrs. W. C. Dent lit the also, that we can be placated with sophistry, and this is one of the weapons too often used. Now we have fifteen or twenty thousand colored people in this city, and we have many hundreds who are real estate tax payers and ought to be entitled to an even break in so important a matter as the probation department of our county government. It is believed that a strong pull and a pull altogether by preacher, teacher, mothers and fathers, and professional men, that this detail of a colored man and a colored woman be made by the authorities. Let all of us work for this for the benefit of the children of this city, for through this agency the percentage of illiteracy will be reduced and that of industry increased, that of prison life reduced and happy homes increased, the pool room inmates reduced and the church attendance improved. So let us have probation officers. F. H. CRUMBLY. THE PEOPLES FORUM Response gage Burning at Old me---Avila flame that consumed the same. The entire occasion was one of marked interest. MR. HITE MAKING COSMOPOLITAN CAFE FAMOUS No better evidence of the increasing popularity of the Cosmopolitan Cafe could be produced than the highly creditable manner in which he handled the great crowds which thronged to his establishment this week. All roads lead to the Cosmopolitan and the new management is fast making this the leading establishment of its kind on the Pacific Coast. Outside of hte regular routine of service Mr. Hite this week entertained distinguished citizens from abroad at private dinners and parties. And all gave the place the highest praise for the very excellent service and entertainment. A comedy sketch by James Garrot and his troup of actors furinshed a great deal of laughter for the audience. This young man should be encouraged, for he bids fair to equal Bert Williams, if he develops the talent, which seems to be his gift, to perfection. After a few other numbers, including a duett by Misses Gladden and Lee, a read from Dunbar, the current events and critics' report, the meeting adjourned until next Tuesday evening. --- "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth" This is a great, inspiring, helpful volume—just the book to be appreciated as a Christmas token. It not only gives a straightforward narrative of the life of one of the sweetest, noblest and most charming characters in Negro history, but it also contains the story of the awful system of slavery and the progress of the Negro race under freedom. There is a keen, interest-gripping moral philosophy running through the volume as convincing as it is fascinating. The book containing over 400 pages, is bound in silk cloth and sells by mail for $1.70. Our readers may obtain this book for $1.50 and save the postage by calling at the office of THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE SOCIETY NOTES. The question on all sides during the week has been—Has the Dreamland Rink changed hands? Why? Because the undesirables, the rowdies and the rough element has been practically cleaned out. The management deserves much credit for the vigilance with which they have gone about making the rink an enjoyable place for the respectable element. --- Dreamland Rink now affords pleasure for all. Perfect order prevails. Rawdies have been exterminated, and a congenial bunch of desirable patrons substituted. Visit Dreamland Rink. The Frederick Douglas Literary Society made its initiative appearance before the public last Monday evening in the spacious auditorium of the First A. M. E. church. Quite a number of people turned out to witness the installation of officers and to enjoy the mammoth program that was prepared for the occasion. The meeting was opened by the singing of a hymn. Then prayer by Mr. Welsh. After a few remarks by the President, outlining the purpose of the society, and men- The West Side Dunbar Literary Society held its regular weekly meeting at the Westminster Presbyterian church Tuesday evening. Quite a few members were present and quotations were from Funneymoon Cooper. After the roll call and the regular business of the society was gone through, the audience was treated to a delightful program. The debate between four Junior members of the society which constituted a part of the program was a rare treat. The subject was, "Resolved that the United States grant absolute independence to the Philippines." The affirmative side was represented by Masters Wendell Gladden and Robt. Banks, while the negative side was handled by Masters Fletcher Dixon and James Hall. All four of the young men did credit to themselves in handling the subject, but special mention must be made of Mr Robert Banks. Although his side lost, he was undoubtedly the star of the evening. tioning that all persons, young and old, of good moral character, were eligible to membership. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. The installation of officers by Rev. N. P. Greggs then followed. The officers installed were: President—Mr. J. J. Josephs. Vice-Pres.—Mr. B. F.

Vocal solo—Miss A. Gladden. Reading—Miss Nellie Kay. Duett—Misses Incy and May Jones Vocal solo—Miss L. Littlejohn. Oration on Efficiency—Miss L. Hickman. Violin solo—Mr. H. Patrick.

Patrick, all members of the Dunbar society, for their help. The Lookout committee then canvassed the house and 16 new members were added to the roll. After a few remarks, by Rev. Greegs the meeting then adjourned until next Monday evening at 8 p. m. A mammoth program, consisting of vocal and instrumental solos and duetts, and reading and recitations by some of our most brilliant stars will be rendered at the First A. M. E. church next Monday evening under the auspices of the Frederick Douglas Literary Society. Admission free. The many friends of Miss Olive Hamilton of 1591 West 35th street will be delighted to learn that she has recuperated sufficiently to be up and around again. Miss Hamilton was the guest of Miss Ruth Malary of the East side, Thanksgiving day. WAS NOT THE CASE IN CALIFORNIA They Reward Black Voters—Progressives and Democrats Only Party to Elect Negroes. Party to Elect Negro. The campaign has passed into history, and the g. o. p. is once more in control. The Negro "spell binder" has visited every nook and corner of the state, refreshing the noble aets and deeds of Lincoln, and telling his people that unless the Republican party was placed in control, all was lost. We guess he is joyful now, though his only reward is a few party shekels. What has he accomplished for the race and what has the party whose cause he espoused done for the Negro? Out of the hundreds of men elected to office, not one is colored, yet these leaders rejoice. It remained for the Democratic and Progressive parties to show the blacks that they have a place in the politics of this country, other than be herded to the polls and voted and then cast in the scrap heap until the next. Out in Graham county, where the white vote is ten to one, the Democrats nominated and elected ```markdown ``` Hon. W. L. Sayers county attorney, and this is his second term. Mr. Sayers' majority was even larger than it was two years ago. He is one of the ablest attorneys in the state, and we are pleased to note that the party the Negro has damned for over forty years, has enough men and women to recognize brain and ability above color, and who are brave enough to come out in the open and so declare by their votes. The Democrats in Kansas are fast awakening to the fact that the colored people are tiring of being led to the altar on the strength of what Abraham Lincoln did, and receiving a kick in return. The Progressives have also stepped into the limelight out here in Kansas. On Tuesday, Hon. Samuel E. Cary, formerly of Topeka, and a graduate of the Washburn School of Law, was elected county attorney of Logan county. Mr. Carey is a good lawyer and the only colored resident of the city in which he lives. Thus the Negro is coming into his own in Kansas politics, and if the Republican party don't get busy, they will find the oft used scarecrow of slavery a very poor lash with which to drive the black vote into line. The black "spell binder" and the "leader" who can see no good in aught save the g. o. p. are reveling.—Plaindealer. MONSTER SMOKER GIVEN TO HEAVYWEIGHT HARRY WILLS. A monster crowd of local sports turned out to do honor to Harry Wills, who was defeated by Sam Langford at McCarey's Vernon arena Thanksgiving day, at the Fred Douglass Republican Club, last Tuesday evening. Among those in attendance were Harry Wills, the guest of honor; Leo Johnson, lightweight aspirant, and Congo Kid. Plenty of refreshments were served and every one reported a good time. For a young man who was practically upon the eve of the greatest battle of his career Young Wills showed he had no worry as to the outcome of the battle. He was greatly amused at the proceedings that were going on around him and expressed himself as heing highly entertained. Messrs. Henderson and Pierson were here, there and everywhere, seeing that all were being treated right. Excellent music was furnished by the Los Angeles Enettrainers and the evening was finished with a selection entitled "The New Orleans Blues." Another innovation to be furnished by the Fred Douglass Republican Club is a free hot lunch to be served the members from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 6 to 7. Owing to a widely expressed desire to inspect the plant of the H. A. Reeves Company at 1429 Santa Fe avenue, the company will have its establishment open for public inspection on Sunday, November 29, 1914, from 1 till 5 p. m. Refreshments will be served free of charge. On Sunday November 8th, the H. A. Reeves Company entertained the Forum, a large crowd being present. This company is one of the larges Negro corporations in the west. It handles all kinds of junk, is incorporated for $20,000 under the laws of California, gives employment to from ten to fifteen people, and does a monthly business of from one thousand to two thousand dollars. The par value of the stock of this company is $1 per share and over 4000 shares have been subscribed and paid for at that figur. The company has placed 3000 shares on the market at par, in order to create a reserve fund of about $3,000. The policy of the company is to issue as little stock as possible. Take Huntington Park car or Watts Local car, get off at 9th and Santa Fe, walk northward one-half block on Santa Fe avenue avenue to the plant of H. A. Reeves Company, 1429 Santa Fe avenue. A GREAT BOOK ON THE NEGRO QUESTION By Prof. Charles Alexander Every reader of this journal should have a copy of "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth," the great book just published by Sherman, French & Company of Boston, Mass., written by Prof. Charles Alexander of Los Angeles, California. This wonderful book contains the narrative of the life of Colonel Allen Allensworth, who rose from the lowest levels of degradation in slavery to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Regular Army of the United States, the highest rank yet attained by a colored man; and it also contains the history of the Negro race from the beginning of the slave trade in the United States up to the present time. This book is written in the most fascinating style, with bits of moral philosophy and sound wisdom, altogether admirable. It is intensely interesting to readers of every class. It is one of the really great books on the Negro question—a most valuable contribution to our historical literature. Orders sent to Prof. Charles Alexander, 502 Thorpe Building, Los Angeles, California, will be given prompt attention. The book contains over 400 pages and sells for $1.70 postage prepaid. Books of this kind usually sell for $3.00. Agents wanted. Every day in the week you can satisfy your appetite and quench your thirst at the Cozy Den.

Its location is ideaf, 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 you find back East—as prostration from heat is unknown in the 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 our natural moisture, the rainfall averaging about twelve inches. This is the season in which most of the farm labor is done and in which we have our natural pastures and the miraids of wild flowers, the like of which is not an easy task to find in any part of this or 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 efficient teachers is about $1,50 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. 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 respected 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 cities might emulate with success. Mr Milner also owns several pieces of outlaying land. Z. M. Hindsman and his wife constitute the firm of Z. M. Hinsman & 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. Hattie 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. Mr. W. O. Wells is the president of the Allensworth Board of Trade and is working out many improvements under the 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. W. H. Dottson was nominated for constable. There being but two candidates for each of the two offices, the above named gentlemen were elected. New improvements under way are a church building for the First Baptist Church of Alleusworth, which is expected soon to make its appearance; an office for the Allensworth Realty Co., end one or two residence buildings, the plans for which have all 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 for 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 which will commemorate the life and death of the Christian, preacher, statesman, citizen, and soldier, Col. Allen Allensworth. Nov. 24th, 1914. Providence Institutional Church. Next Sunday Pastor Williams will preach at both services. Dr Williams will attend the State meeting of the Baptists next week at Fresno.

THE NEW YORK WORLD ON SEGREGATION AT WASHINGTON No President ever suffered more from the foolish indiscretions of members of his Cabinet than has Mr. Wilson. He had a further illustration of it recently in his unfortunate interview with a delegation of Negroes who called at the White House to protest against the segregation of races in government departments. The bad manners of the chairman of the delegation, however deplorable, are no justification of the policy of Jim Crow government which certain members of the Cabinet have established in their departments; and, as the President well knows, insolent conduct is not confined to the members of any particular race. The President should have foreseen this unfortunate issue when Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson were carrying their color-line theories into democratic government. Mr. Wilson told the committee that there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings of the Negro clerks but explained that "he had been informed by officials that the segregation had been started to avoid friction between the races, and not with the object of injuring the Negroes." The President failed to explain, nevertheless, why no such rule had been considered necessary until Mr. Burleson and Mr. McAdoo got into the Cabinet. For nearly half a century whit-clerks and Negro clerks have worked side by side in the departments of Washington under Republican and under Democratic Presidents. The World keeps i self fairly well informed about Washington affairs but the first it ever heard of this alleged friction to which Mr. Wilson refers was when Mr. McAdoo began his Jim-Crow proceedings in the Treasury Department. The President thinks that this is not a political question but he is wrong. Anything that is unjust, discriminating and un-American in government is certain to be a political question. Servants of the United States government are servants of the United States government, regardless of race or color. For several years a Negro has been collector of internal revenue in New York. He never found it necessary to segregate the white employees of his department to prevent friction; yet he would have had quite as much right to do so a. Mr. McAdoo had to segregate the Negro employees of the Treasury in Washington. While the Democrats of the country have been trying to solve certain great problems of government, a few southern members of the Cabinet have been allowed to Worse still, it is a small, mean petty discrimination, and Mr. Wilson ought to have get his heel upon this presumptuous Jim-Crow government the moment it was established. He ought to set his heel upon it now: It is a reproach to his administration and to the great political principles which he represents. We hear that the white aspirant for Negro journalistic honors in the person of Mr. Brown is contemplating a suit against this paper for ridiculing his efforts to butt in on purely Negro business. We will say to him if he does, he won't find Bubber Brown to deal with. We have said, say now, and will say again until he can qualify as a Negro we will not stand for his intrusion in the field of Negro journalism. Because the mission of the Negro journal cannot be assumed by proxy the forces behind it must have their souls in their work and their object must not be ulterior. This white man Brown cannot do this. An finally the Colored people do not want a white man around meddling in their business. We know we have stung him, he sticks because we have, but he must go or we will make that shop black from Devil up. Give it up, Brown. It won't go. We know you hate to quit loser, but if you play with soot you will black your hands. At this writing The Eagle is unable to give out the progress made in the Fincher murder case at San Bernardino. We shall, however, in our next issue advise fully the status of the case. Rest assured work is being done that justice shall assert itself. The mases of our people have shown themselves loyal citizens by their stand that justice shall prevail. We therefore feel encouraged greatly in our efforts to see that justice is done in this case. We shall in our next issue give the case in detail to the public and every Negro in the state will be asked to assist in this great cause. COLORED OFFICERS CREDIT TO CITY The Colored police officers of our local police force are making a highly creditable record for all around police work, and all of them are making enviable records in their various positions. Some of the most important captures of criminals have recently been made by them and they are terrors to the evil doers. The citizens at large are well as the Colored citizens should feel proud of the great record that these officers are making on the Metropolitan police force of this city. Thanksgiving has come and gone and we are truly thankful that in the mighty progress of the race that further ahead the going looks good. The Colored citizens of the state are showing a commendable interest in seeing that justice is meted out to Fincher just the same as any other murdered. The Eagle will give the news on the developments in the case as the same proceeds. The Colored Business League is taking on a new growth, they held an enthusiastic meeting on last Monday evening at the Y. M. C. A. and elaborate plans to accomplish an increased volume of business were put in motion, also plans were put in action to extend an invitation for the 1915 session of the National Business Men's League. Los Angeles is the logical place to hold the same. We have the Negro population and the business. We must all get busy. For the continued exploitation of the same watch next issue for important article along these lines, and for the next meeting of the League. On Monday 23d, the stork visited Mr. and Mrs. Strather Howard, 648 San Juan Ave., Venice, and presented them an 8 pound baby girl. Father and mother are jubilant over the arrival, and mother and baby are quite well. On Thursday, Thanksgiving day, the members of the First Baptist Church will leave Venice at 9 a.m. for the Old Folks' Home. Rdv. and Mrs. A.

Reese and his efficient corps of decorators have just finished (Nov. 22) their Thanksgiving decorations for the Abbott Kinney Co., and from now till Xmas will be busy on the Christmas decorations. Mr. Jas. E. Duncan and another gentleman whose name could not be ascertained, entertained the Misses Elsie Jackson and Bessie Vick at a dinner at the Tremont Hotel. Mr. Bridges of Tremont fame, states that he has felt no "slump" in business since the winter season set in.

A Thanksgiving dinner, turkey, dressing, trimmings and all for the paltry sum of 35 cents was served at the parsonage of the Westminster Presbyterian church by Mrs. Gertrude Hawes, wife of Rev. H. B. Hawes. Quite a number of those who were not lucky enough to be invited out to turkey feasts, dropped in and expressed themselves as more than satisfied for their 35 cents. No wonder. Think of it.

Mrs. Pearson of Central avenue entertained Thursday at dinner at the Cosmopolitan Cafe, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Burr of San Francisco. Mr. Thomas Clark of Chicago, Ills., is visiting in the city, and meeting a host of friends. Probably the greatest heavyweight contest ever staged in this city was the one between Sam Langford and Harry Wills on Thursday afternoon at the Vernoh arena. It was a contest full of action from the sound of the gong until the fourteenth round, when Sam Langford caught Wills for a moment off his guard and caught him with a left hook square on the jaw for a clean knock out. Up o this moment Wills had a big margin to his credit, having knocked Sam down four times and at times landed on him at will. Watson Burns, former trainer for Jack Johnson, and recognized as one of the greatest trainers and seconds extant, was chief advisor in Wills' corner. After the fight, Mr. Burns stated that Wills' overconfidence undoubtedly lost him the fight, that Wills, elated at his showing and apparent safe margin, took the responsibility of his own fight and failed to heed the instructions of his second. To The Eagle reporter it looked like Wills played too much horse and that to pick out this fighting machine to grandstand with was his undoing. But Wills demonstrated the fact that he is a great fighter and with the proper training and handling, with the experience gained in this contest, that he is to be rated as one of the greatest gladiators in the world. On Wednesday afternoon probably the meanest man on the coast was discovered. He actually went bodily to the Second Baptist church and stole the piano, a cabinet grand, came right up in a moving van, went into the church, took the piano, went to a store and sold it for $40.00. In less than three hours, however, Officer Watson had captured the bold thief, recovered thirty dollars of the money and located the piano. Miss Miller Entertains.

SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENT For Ladies at the Fred Douglass Republican Club Tuesday In line with the policy inaugurated upon the opening of the Fred Douglass Republican Club, there will be given a special entertainment of the wives and sweethearts of its members at the club house, 561 Central avenue, on the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 1st, 1914. A cordial invitation has been issued to all the ladies to attend this affair, as special entertainment has been provided for them. The officers have spared no pains to make this the greatest event of the season. A special line of entertainment has been provided by Messrs. Henderson, Pierson and Brown, the officials, and it is to be hoped that all members with their wives and sweethearts will attend. The services at the New Hope Baptist Church the Rev. Chester H. Anderson, pastor were well attended at our church Sunday. Our pastor Dr. Anderson being indisposed did not preach, but his assistant pastor, the Rev, Howard Folke, preached a most powerful and instructive sermon, subject, "Whatsoever thou shalt lose on earth shall be loosed in heaven Sunday morning at 9:30, superintendent E. Payne conducted the Sunday school, which was largely attended, there being many visitors of whom Bro. Allen Reese of Venice and Bro. Biggers, The Sunday School was reviewed by Bro. Biggers. Many inspiring words were spoken and very encouraging. At 6.30 the B. Y. P. Union convened with the President in the chair. Subject, "Missionary," which was ably discussed. At the evening service Bro. E. Payne preached an able sermon. As Bro. Payne is a young man we are praying for him that he may grow strong and be a powerful man in his day. Next Thursday, Nov. 29, our pastor is expected to speak at both services. All members and friends are requested to be present. B. F. ANDERSON, Church Reporter. PASADENA Rev. William Richard Riley Duncan D. D., is more. The famous minister passed into what he called, while living "The sleep of Eternith. He called it life and ever more life, not of decay and death. The death he could not and would not fear, but which he held up to the wold in his alpha to omega as the beautiful sleep of eternity. Dr. Duncan was pastor Scott Chapel M. E. church, he came to the church in Nov. ember 1912 from the Little Rock conference and for a number of years was district superintendent. He came to the coast in search of health. His place cannot be easily filled and the church has lost one of its strongest members and a good father and husband. He was educated in Boston university and received his degree of D. D. from Campbell College, Miss. He was born in South Carolina. He was a member of the faculty of Philander Smith College, Little Rock, Ark., also treasurer of the board of trustees. He died Thursday morning at 6:20 at his late residence 919 Cypress avenue. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon from Scott Chapel His first sermon to his congregation was on October 12, 1912, at 11 a. m. he took as his text 42nd Pslam 1st verse, subject, "Christian Devotion," in the evening his text was "Peter's Denial" from that day to the time of his death he held his congregation spellbound and one year ago he preached the Thanksgiving sermon at Friendship Baptist. He took as his text "Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name and make known his deeds among the people," but today he has gone himself to make known. At the bedside, when his tender soul took flight from the outfived clay in which sixty years it had housed and which by it had been made to radiate happiness wherever the English tongue is spoken, were the wife, sons and daughters, who make up the immediate family. S. B. CARR, 26 East Colorado Street, Pasadena. Prof Charles Alexander gave a lecture to a lrge audience at the Congregational Church last night under the title "An Hour with Paul Laurence Dunbar," the Negro poet. It was less a lecture than an appreciation in which a sketch of the life of the author given with rare sympathy and insight was presented as a background for the lyric flights of the singer. He rendered the dialect in absolute perfection in a voice whose cadence and range left nothing to be desired, and delighted his hearers The proceeds will go to the Red Cross fund. This is the second time Prof Alexander has lectured in Redlands on this theme and there are many who would gladly hear him again. He came up from Los Angeles yesterday morning and made a talk to the students of the High School on the relation of the Negro to Democracy. He emphasized the thought that the black and white races must work out their destiny side by side in a spirit of mutual helpfulness. This cut shows Rev. Miss M. E. Taylor of Yonkers, N. Y., one of the race's greatest and most successful lady evangelists, and Miss Redmonds, her personal worker. Rev. Miss Taylor has been conducting a revival meeting for the Caldwell Mission of the A. M. E. Zion Church this week and many precious souls have been converted and great crowds flock to hear her powerful sermons. Sunday evening, November 29th, 1914, at 8 p.m. This great woman will preach at the First A. M. E. Zion Church 959 E. Pico street, which will mark the beginning of a series of evangelistic meetings she will hold in this church. Come one and all and hear one of the best lady preachers it has been my privilege to hear.

B'dwy 2528 SAN DIEGO DIVISION The good looking fellow is from Los Angeles, who exposed one of our society leaders. Works at the Grant Hotel is a poor specimen of a man. Started the gossip about the Magnolia Club? Said nothing doing at the Church for the Magnolia Club? Went hunting Saturday night? Afraid of the "Guess Who" man? Was 25 years old Monday? Lives in Coronado that likes the stranger? Made out he was looking for the girls Sunday? Kicked because his name was not spelled right? Played ball Sunday after saying that he wouldn't? Had a family reunion Thanksgiving? Visited the California Eagle office Monday to discuss the dinner? Going to be guess next week? Was at Caoton's late Sunday night eating? Said he's getting fat? Is very worried about the dinner party? Was at the ball game and nearly made F. E. break his neck running after a ball? Had rooms to rent in Los Angeles? Is studying hard at home? Had a great time on Wilson Ave. Thanksgiving? Had an excuse Monday night? Don't know papa Sam? Didn't go to the Alhambra theatre Monday noon? Make all of three home runs at night? Did not hit the ball Sunday? Wanted to pay the umpire a nickel? Went to Los Angeles to renew acquaintance? Sent his wife to the poulery market to get a turkey dressed, and was informed that all he could do was to pick it? Sent a postal to a married lady and did not sign his name? Took 35 cents from G. A. R? Going to open a hair dressing parlor? Was afraid to be out on his birthday? Was afraid of the goat? Gone on a young man that works a the country Club? ```markdown ``` After nine exciting innings of hard fought base ball, the Spreckles defeated the Hornets at Athletic Park, Sunday. Carlie Perry, the phenomenal short stap, again demonstrated that he is the little man with the big stick, hitting the first ball pitched for a triple. Clarence King scored Perry a moment later with a triple to left field. The Spreckles team was outhit two to one, but errors lost the game for the hornets. Barring errors we must admit it was a great game.

SOME OF THE NEW FEATURES OF THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE The oldest residents of California will o doubt recall the establishment of the Eagle in 1887 and they will also remember that it has ever been the policy of the Eagle to uphold the Colored Race at all times and to do everything in its power for the advancement and uplift of the Race. It is needless to say that at this time the Eagle after 27 years of earnest endeavor is still on the firing line for the advancement of the race in all things and at all times. It shall be the policy of the Eagle to continue at this time the fight it has consistently made for the best interest of the race as a whole and it will therefore continue in the editorial chair Mr. J. B. Bass who was formerly owner and publisher of the Montana Plaindealer and who is well and favorable known to all the people of this state and community. Mr. Bass will contribute weekly to the editorial page, touching upon the events of the day as pretaining to the best interest of the American Negro as a whole. These editorials are always bright, clean and interesting and you will find it to your interest to subscribe for the Eagle and keep informed as to what is going on in the world as effects the American Negro. General Management by Miss C. A. Spear No one is more worthy the consideration of the general public than is Miss Spear, the general manager. First of all she is a christian woman who at all times is looking for the moral uplift of the American Negro and who, since she has assumed the burden of the issuance of this publication has triven to make it a wholesome readable paper, and who is at last is on the verge of success. Miss Spear is arranging for the establishment of news agencies in various parts of the United States. Beginning with the first of the year these agencies will be in full operation, with a special wire service direct to the Eagle office and as consequence readers will have the advantage of this service and it will be found that readers will have a fair return for the money paid, combined with the SPECIAL OFFER WITH THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE. Another feature to be given the readers of the Eagle is the short story, by professional and amatuer writers of the race. Who knows but there may exist within the confines of our own race another Dnmas, Pushkin or DuBois? It will be the purpose of the Eagle to give those who possess talent for writing a chance to express same within its columns. Beginning next week will be a short story entitled "The Amatuer Manager" by a local writer of some repute. Don't fail to subscribe and read this story of wit and pathos. Advertising by W. J. McLamore We desire to call the attention of the general public to this department of the California Eagle in particular and it is here that we desire their earliest co-operation as it is upon this department that the very life of the paper depends.
