BALLARD AND HIS Dr. Claudius Ballard, the rising young physician, graduate of the University of California, class of 1913, and who was born and reared in this city, is rapidly forging to the front in his profession. He is steadily building up an enviable practice in this, his home city. He was only last month elected as the official physician of the order of Foresters.

Baber, Otis E. Bowdoin, A. Hatter, E. H. Lee, Jno. N. Lewis, Thos. B. Lovett Jno. McLemore, Anderson S. Spann, Vincent Provost, Wm. Temple. The club entertained their friends with the most spectacular dance of the season. The dancing honors were nearly evenly divided between the Suburban Club boys and those from the Elks Club under Mr. Felix Waugh. B. G. Kelso, Douglas Penbrook and Edward Anderson introduced many new and pretty dances. The big hall was packed to the doors and all that goes in fashion prevailed. The music was ably rendered by McVea's "Howdy Band" and everyone in the hall danced one way or the other when they played "It's a Long Way to By Sol Wortz. The Dunbar Literary Society. We are pleased to announce that many of the churches of the city have connected with them literary societies for the young people. It was our privilege, as well as pleasure, to visit the past week a few of these societies. Of these societies that promise much for wholesome environment, the Dunbar literary seems to be in the lead with a membership of over two hundred membership attendance of more dred, and a regular prosecution patronize a physician. He has by industrious effort made good in his profession. And has demonstrated by the real test the possibilities for the young man or woman to rise to the topmost round. Dr. Ballard is a progressive race man and believes in the future of the race and does not hesitate to encourage all of their legitimate enterprises. His office is well equipped with all of the latest appliances for the practice of his profession, conveniently located at the corner of 12th and Central. As a further mark of his progress he has purchased a modern 1915 Model Studebaker auto roadster, which will compare than a hundred This society seems to be keenly awake to the situation of using the best available local talent to be had each week. Last Tuesday editor Bass the orator, used for his subject, "Three Cardinal principles." Mr. Bass in well cho-en English outlined his subject in an impressive manner, with here and there a flash of wit and humor that pleased the young folks. And many a boy and girl present on this occasion went away with a new ambition to—Do something. Be something and Have something, Ceruti and Tyler Win Big Murder Trial Justifiable homicide was the jury's verdict before Judge Craig on last Wednesday, when Thoe. A. Mitchell was acquitted of the killing of his father-in-law, Wm. Cook, $32 Hemlock street on July 20, 1914. It was a hard fought case and much credit is due Attorneys E. Burton Caruti and W. O. Tyler for the able manner in which they conducted the case. W. O. Tyler was highly complimented by the prosecutor for his brilliant speech in defending their client. Both of these barristers put up a stonewall defense which the pros cution was utterly unable to penetrate and the jury deliberated less than an hour, and brought in a verdict of sequittal. Los Angeles, Cal., JAN. 16, 1915 favorably with any in the city, and he is much in demand for his services in a professional capacity. Dr. Ballard ranks high as a successful practitioner and he is elected to make his stand in this, the city of his birth, and without doubt his determination will be crowned with honor and success. He is a thorough race man and does not hesitate to encourage their enterprises and as a part and parcel of them it is his ambition further to succeed. His clean cut life in our midst, his capability in his profession will gain for him a lasting and permanent place as a physician in Los Angeles, his home city. ably surprised at their sumptuour quarters and the fine line of goods they carry their ideal location, etc. This firm is a credit to our city and worthy of the, hearty support which they are receiving at the hands of the citizens of Los Angeles. Another Demonstration of Negro Bravery C. E. Brown was master of a peculiar situation last Wednesday evening at 18th and San Pedro streets, where a citizen was being held up by a burglar, he captured the latter and turned him over to the authorities. Kansas-Missouri Club Will Hold Installation of Officers Tuesday Evening The Kansas-Missouri Club will meet on Tuesday evening at Biggers' Business College on Central avenue. There will be a special program and a historical address by J. B. Bass treating on Kansas and Missouri. All members are requested to be present on this, which will be an important occasion.

Mr. and Mrs. Noah D. Thompson of 1711 E. 55th street, entertained Miss C. Spears last Wednesday evening at dinner. A very enjoyable evening was spent by the party of three. When the evening was well spent, and it was time to leave the artistic home of the Thompsons in the Furlong tract, known as the Negro district, where Mr. and Mrs. Thompson have been an inspiration to its inhabitants. Miss Spears went away thoroughly convinced that Mrs. Thompson is not only a woman of striking intellectual ability, whose prose and poetry alikes, is favorably passed upon by some of the best critics of today, but a woman whose general knowledge of things enables her to take rank in domestic economy, horticulture and botany, with those of high standard along these lines. The suburban boys' ball at Blanchard hall Monday evening the 11th, was a grand success. The hall was beautifully decorated and punch and cookies were served. There were scores of beautiful women and the gowns, my they were simply magnificent. The suburban boys' club consists of the boys who work at the Los Angeles country club. S. B. Carr, our Pasadena correspondent, says The Eagle is in a class by itself so far as Negro Jour- nism is concerned NOLLIE B. MURRAY Young Business Man of the East Side Who Has Made Good in the Business World--A Strong Booster for Race Enterprises Mr. Nollie B. Murray is one of our hustling young business men who is rapidly forging his way to the front ranks of Los Angeles business men. He came to this city some years ago from Atlanta, Georgia, and has been among those in this section who has always kept pegging away to do something worth while to accentuate the business spirit with profit and credit not only to himself but to the community as well. At one time he owned a string of shining stands located in various parts of the city. He was named King of the Bootblacks. 1520½ East 9th street, and the conduct of this establishment for our workmen is entrusted largely to him, they having faith in his judgment and his absolute honor and integrity. This is an organization that is conducted absolutely in a way different from the usual social club. It is for the convenience of the men that toil and no other than workingmen are sought as members. They have a board of directors composed of leading citizens who meet regularly on each Monday evening and go over the affairs of the organization, and this But being of a more ambitious turn of mind he sought to establish a more pretentious business an dopened the Murray Pocket 1830 [Portrait of a man in formal attire, holding a book or document]. NOLLIE B. MURRAY Secretary of the Colored Workingben's Club Billiard Emporium and Cigar Stand on East 9th street near Central avenue, which place he has conducted with a marked degree of success. So it can be seen the possibilities in store for a young man who sticks to business. Mr. Murray was born in Atlanta about 28 years ago, where he was reared and attended the public schools of that city, and as we have said, came to this city where, owing to his sober and industrious habits, honest and just methods of dealing with his many patrons and with an intelligent application to business has brought to himself a large following of friends and an enviable standing with the business world. Murray and his high class way of doing things is indeed a credit to his race. He is the secretary of the great Colored Workmen's Club of --- 1520% East 9th street, and the conduct of this establishment for our workmen is entrusted largely to him, they having faith in his judgment and his absolute honor and integrity. This is an organization that is conducted absolutely in a way different from the usual social club. It is for the convenience of the men that toil and no other than workingmen are sought as members. They have a board of directors composed of leading citizens who meet regularly on each Monday evening and go over the affairs of the organization, and this board insists that the club be kept up to a high standard, and Mr. Murray as its secretary sees to it that the mandates of the board are THE LEGEND OF THE MEN OF THE WEST The membership is more than eight hundred and on occasions of meetings or rallies given by the club no hall in the city where our people meet is large enough to seat the crowds which they have been able to draw. It will be remembered in the last campaign that this organization through the efforts of Mr. Murray gave absolutely the greatest meeting of any held during the campaign at Central hall, where all of the notable politicians gathered with J. B. Bass, editor of The Eagle, presiding. Mr. Murray has associated with him as president of the club, Mr. Bradford Norman, one of our young mechanics who is a finished blacksmith and who until recently conducted a shop on East 9th street, and many others who space will not permit us to mention.

Special Line of Goods for the Holidays Responsible For Memorial Service At Wesley Chapel in Honor of J. L. Edmond AT LOS ANGELES (By S. B. Carr) Elegant and fitting orations by Dr. L. Stovall and Attorney G. W. Wycliffe; A great concourse of people turned out last Sunday evening to the memorial services of the late J. L. Edmond, of the Liberator. The service was indeed a credit, not only to the greatest writer the race has had in Los Angeles in the interest of the race, but to those who arranged it and to the race. He was a man with a conscience, in all his newspaper work he never allowed a single advertisement to appear in his paper for a brewery, bar, room, pool room, dance or club hall, he said the columns of his paper could not be used for vice, but you could not fly too high for him not to shoot at you. The Los Angeles Time to him looked like the New Age when he did not agree with it and a minister looked like a six-bit politician to him. This is the second memorial held for Mr. Edmond, one on the 25th of last January with a fine program Mr. Noah Thompson was master of ceremonies, on the program were Judge York, Dr. Duvall, ex-Mayor Snyder, John Hall, Prof. Howard H. W. Markham, Rev. Byers, Mrs. Noah D. Thompson and Postmaster Smith, of Sawtelle. He is gone now and it is time to speak and tell of his life, of his efforts and achievements and look for some one to take his place, a born writer and not a made one. Leaders are born and not made. Jefferson L. Edmond's days have just began, using the words of Paul Laurence Dunbar. "When all is done, say not my day is o'er. Say rather that his morn has just begun, he greets the dawn and not the setting sun." Too much praise cannot be given him said The Los Angeles Times, after his death for his brilliant writings. Praise no man too liberally before his face nor censure him too lavishly behind his back. The one savors of flattery, the other of malice and both are reprehensible. The true way to advance another virtue is to follow it, and the best means to cry down another vice is to decline it. To the Memory of Jefferson Lewis Edmonds Who is to take his place? As an editor and writer he has done much to promote the interests of Los Angeles and Southern California. From the time the first shot was fired at Ft. Sumpter and the message of war was spread abroad to the day when the Southern Cross faded before the fair diamond of its faithful followers at Appomattox and at the close of the war he was a faithful adherent of the union. But like our Savior at an early age he began to work in his native state near Hollywood, Tunis Co., Miss., and never ceased to work in the interest of his race until God's finger touched him and he slept. "Lost a little while to us. But only gone on before." While it may not be claimed that he was a great orator, yet he possessed calm judgment and was a careful thinker, alway laying weight on the right word at the right time. His editorials were read from California to Main, and he stood prepared for constant disagreement for you can't make a real success without making real enemies, and you cannot hold a strong position with out strong opposition. So how can you hope even under the most favorable auspices to have everybody like you. You must think for yourself: you Because he did not agree with the Forum they made it so unpleasant for him he was forced to leave. But while he was a member and Jo T. Norris was president they did more good in saving Edward Silver from hanging at San Bernardino than all the resolutions that the Forum has passed since organization. And remember how he took up the fight on the labor unions April 1911. See how he supported J. L. Means and L. M. Blodgett who had been turned down by the union. Read Mr. Means' letter in The Liberator of April 3, 1911; also read May 5, 1911. He said that Frederick Douglass wrote Harriet Beecher Stowe complaining about labor unions almost three-quarters of a century ago. His advice was to stay out of the union. See how he used his paper in the interest of the G. M. C. A. to get $75,000 so that they could get the $25,000 from Mr. Rosenthal, and now they are soon to have a $110, 000 6-story building. He did his part. See how he was working for the National Industrial and Orphans' School. See how he oppised separate schools and Jim Crow laws and against the actions of the supervisors in refusing to admit colored women the privileges offered for training of nurses at the hospital. See how he condemned the removing of the word republican from the constitution; see how he stood for woman suffrage, and we all remember what a storm he raised in the court house when he charged the clerk with entering the colored taxpayers in the books as colored. Remember some time ago when the city was voting on the whisky question, some of the ministers kept quiet, he condemned them with the result that one of the ministers ordered his members not to read the Liberator. The way to get rid of crookedness and dishonesty is to expose it he said. At the last meeting of the Alumni Association of Southern California one of its members read his address sighty verbose and gave the old f lk a whack also and a plea for a Jim Crow school and it was claimed his audience grew restless. He condemned that paper. He said that it was important and right that all privileges of the law are ours, but it is vastly more important that we be prepared for the exercise of those privileges. The opportunity to earn a dollar in a factory is worth more than to spend a dollar in an opera house. Who is to take his place. Mr. Edmonds was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and a firm believer in the doctrine of the Bible. We believe that his daughter, Sally L. Edmonds, who died Aug. 11, 1912, will meet him at the gates and as he walks in she will sing "Only a Dream" as that was his favorite song. SEABORN B. CARR, Pasadena, Cal. Eighty-four bills were introduced the first day the Legislature met. Senator Carr of Pasadena is on eight committees and chairman of three. Assemblyman Mauser of Los Angeles will intro- one day on election count for overtime. The Southern California members fared unusually well in the committee appointments of nine chairmen from Southern California but you must npt forget that Southern California cast more votes than San Francisco and Oakland combined: Strange things happen even in the Southland. Will somebody please advise the San Francisco Outlook and the Oakland Sunshine that Los Angeles cast more votes than San Francisco and Oakland together. We will have an eighth hour law, Sunday-rest day and close the bar rooms in this State just as we stopped the race track gambling, red-light districts and prize fighting. Dr. Nick Murray Butler calls the Wilson administration "political barbarism tempered by rhetoric." Can Mr. Wilson think up any rhetoric suitable far a retort, for the first time in many years Christmas was not disgraced by a prize fight in California. A 14-year-old boy was arrested a few days ago. He was charged with stealing an auto. Walter Carr who has been in the hospital for some time, is again out and almost fully recovered. Mr. Shell, who for a time was employed at Skillen & Skillen's confectionery store, has again returned to the city after three years' absence. Mr. Harris, the Assemblyman from Bakersfield, has introduced a bill making it life imprisonment for murder, and not hanging. Prof. Charles Alexander will on Tuesday night, at the North Congregational Church, read from the poems of Dunbar. Prof. Chas. Alexander is the president of the Mississippi State Society in Los Angeles. Mr. J. J. Hamilton has resigned from the Board of Education and will devote all of his time to the Board of Supervisors. Did you ever stop to think of the people that always want separate schools? They are the class that want to live on the public. The first you will hear then say is race pride, but when you figure them out you will find that they are the whole race themselves. Here we are asked to donate money to fight separate schools at El Centro. Then just six counties from that same place they want a separate school. So let us find out what separate school means before we endorse it. We want all that is due us, but let us be prepared for it. Rev. G. W. Woodby of San Diego will address the Forum in Los Angeles Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. It will be remembered that Rev. Woodby was a candidate for State Treasurer last November and received more than 96,000 votes His subject will be,"Are our Church Members Christians?" Governor Blease of South Carolina seems to think that the wrong men were in prison in that state, and he has pardoned them. Now he has disbanded the State militia, he only leaves Ben Tilman and the police. He is going to give South Carolina a titanic wracking before he retires. What's the matter with Ben Tilman?

He was able to be out last Sunday, and we hope he will soon be able to fill his pulpit. Prohibition will be the paramount issue in 1916. With the tariff so good by Democrats Look out for Teddy—T. R. Hanford Items The Household of Ruth Lodge, No. 4948, will install officers January 18. Very few changes were made at the last election. Mrs. Sadie Persons, district grand recorder, residing at Bakersfield will visit the lodge on that date. Mrs. James Hackett, after spending a few weeks with her cousin, Mrs. Ella Isenour, and other relatives, went to Allensworth last Saturday from where she will return to her home in Alameda. Rev. Wm. Blakney filled the Zion Methodist pulpit in the absence of the pastor, Rev. J Holmes on last Sunday both morning and evening. The services were well attended by an appreciative audience Mrs. George Harrison is on the sick list and is being cared for at the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Wm. Harrison. Mrs. B. G. Russells will be the house guest of Mrs. Alex Anderson on reciprocity day. Rev. T. H. McEachen is in Sacramento on political business. Mr. Roy Walker is having a small growth removed from the side of his face which at first proved quite painful. We hope it will be a successful undertaking and heal nicely. Mr. and Mrs. Steve Shaw of this city are visiting Mrs. Shaw's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Myers of Los Angeles. Presiding Elder Weller is holding quarters at Modesto and Fresno. The quarterly conference will be held here January 16. We hope to raise $25 on next and have a spiritual meeting besides. For a long time the people of Hanford have faintly heard the tinkling of Wedding bells, but now we hear them very distinctly and and the announcement is that they will peal forth with all their melodious music for Miss Elnor Crawford and Mr. Lloyd Welcher on February 24 at the home of the bride's parents, northwest of this city. Miss Crawford is a charming young high school girl and Mr. Welcher a graduate of the H. U. H. S. and also of Tuskegee. Watch for fulc particulars later.

You will surely enjoy a trip East over the Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 12 1915. For the last two weeks Northern California's weather has been a revelation of frigidity and precipitant moisture to the thin-skinned pilgrim from south of the Tehachepu; withal it is energizing; it is absolutely necessary to "keep busy," and the black citizen, the little brown man and the yellow man, and the green man, the latter usually the envious man, are all a busy people up here. They have to keep moving if they want to keep dry and warm. I am especially interested in the black man and his intermediate hues. I called at the Harbor Commission and found there four members of the race employed by the State, Rev. J. M. Riddle who, when this reaches you, may be pastoring in Pasadena, a clerk for two years at $100 per; Rev. S. W. Hawkins, who in addition to pastoring, is a messenger at $100 per; 7 years occupancy of that office; Bro. Williams $90 per a guide in the mining bureau, five years occupancy; Gee. W. Dennis, 15 years janitor, and Joe Dennis, janitor, 3 years, salaries $75 per. Hart Hawkins, a New Bedford, Mass., man, has been for a number of years an immigrant inspector at Mare Island. Owing to the aforementioned weather I was not able to learn, first hand, the colored citizen's representation in the city and county offices of Oakland and Frisco, though I am rather of the opinion that proportionately the colored citizen of Los Angeles is more under the uncertain but beneficent shelter of political patronage. Main 415 IN SACRAMENTO. Rain! rain and more rain! The vestibules and corridors of the capitol, "chock a block," with expectant "job chasers." All types of humanity are gathered here You can pick out the Frisco type; it is a pronounced type. He carries his long black strong smelling cigar at right angles with his "savoir faire" nose; he either has a debonair swagger or a deep and meditative strut; he doesn't invite familiarity and he looks altogether awful. His representation here is nearly all Irish; from Senator Finn to Jimmy Byrnes in the Assembly. "Jimmy" is the boss base ball player of the Pacific Coast league, and besides, Frisco has a couple of representatives of the squared ring in the Legislature. Frisco is prepared for the fray—and it is coming sometime between now and when the Los Angeles representatives in both the Assembly and Senate, are a very sedate looking class of men; they look like men who have a "cinch" and know it. In the Assembly F. H Mouser is a very busy man with his friends, and they are numerous. Mouser is just as popular with the administration and legislature up here as he is at home where his course in the assembly was endorsed by three great parties. He was proposed for speaker pro tem of the Assembly, but he declined the honor. He has already introduced several very important bills, one that will give the election officials of last November additional pay for the strenuous overtime they put in on that occasion; a bill to give all employees semi-monthly salary payments, that will stem off the money shark, and a number of other humane measures that are administrative measures. In the Senate we have any number of heavy-weight Senators. The floor leader of the Senate is N. W. Thompson, an Angeleno, and one of the ablest men and closest to the administration is Senator Henry Lyons. In an especial manner he is looking after the interest of the colored man; always urban, accommodating and pleasant; he is by far the most popular man on the floor of the Senate. On there- request of the writer Senator Lyon will have in hand the defeat of any black laws introduced in the Senate. Along these lines he will have the generous assistance of Senator Butler, an Angeleno who was last session chairman of the Senate committee on education, and this session is a member of the same important committee. Dr. Butler permits me to quote him: "No race segregation bills will be popular with this senate. And the State is in no position to make any appropriations for separate high schools. With $3,000,000 more needed for general expense, the repeal of the poll tax and corporation license tax, you can safely assure the colored folks there is no cause for uneasiness on their part. I am opposed to all race segregation in the public schools of this State." I have interviewed all of the Angeleno members of the senate committee on education, and they are four of them, and better still they are all Progressives; and I find the sentiment of Senator Butler shared alike by them. Still I would advise that the Forum of your city continue to keep busy, with a man on the watch tower, as there are members of their own race who can see when it is profitable to agitate colored school houses, with prospective 'colored professahe,' janitors and other colored appurtenances. Then there are some colored men and women who do not fear white competition; they invite it, as making for greater efficiency and self-poise. It is the Negro who don't feel comfortable among "white folks" that stands in the way of race progress. For Heaven's sake give our children a show! By actual count I found only eight members of the colored race on the ground here not looking for work, but EXPECTING it. How they fared, more anon. BILL ANGELO. STOCKTON NOTES. To the California Eagle: The Dunbar Literary Society, organized last September, is still alive and increasing in interest and membership. The lectures end papers read before the society have been of a high class nature. The society could today be styled as a forum. It is now fostering matters of very vital importance to the race. The Second Baptist Church held its annual installation on last Sunday, together with its annual get-together basket dinner. An enjoyable time was expressed by all who were present. Officers for the ensuing year were installed as follows: Mrs. E. Freeman, church clerk; Miss B. Sterling; president B. Y. P. U.; Mr. W. A. Hall, superintendent of the Sunday School; Brothers P. G. Goodwine, G. Sterling, O. Hall, Sisters C. West and B. Fine, trustees. The annual church report was read by the clerk, Mrs. Freemau. The same showed a marked improvement in all branches of the church work. More money was raised and a larger average attendance than in any previous year. Much credit was given to the pastor for his untiring efforts, along with the officers that brought about such gratifying results. Emanipation celebration was fittingly observed at the Second Baptist Church Friday evening, January 1st. Rev. G. W. Reed was the speaker of the evening. He delivered a masterly address to the delight of all present. The G. A. R. and the W. R. C. attended the celebration in a body. The Literary Society discussed at length last. Sunday the advisability of establishing a polytechnic high school at Allenaworth colony. The discussion was opened by Rev. Reed who in a logical speech advocated the establishing of the school. He was followed by Rev. Duncan and Mt. D. Boyden. Both spoke in favor of such a school.

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.

THE COMING MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN. The principal office to be filled at the approaching city election is that of Mayor, and of course this makes that particular office the bone of the greatest contention of all of the different offices to be voted on at the coming primaries which will be held in May of this year. The great interest naturally centers as to who the individuals are who will be in the lineup for Mayorality honors. The present incumbent, Mayor Rose, it is said, will be willing to serve the people for another term, providing that certain support is forthcoming, but the wise ones say that this much-wanted support will not be forthcoming. H. S. McCullom, who was a strong supporter of Mayor Rose in the campaign two years ago, is prominently urged, and, in fact, has a strong organized force that are doing their utmost to bring about Mr. McCullom's nomination and election. McCullom is a live wire and was one of the forces which landed Mayor Rose in his present position, but after landing it is said that McCullom says he could not hand Rose a red apple. McCullom has been a strong booster for the people's interest, an organizer of the improvement clubs, and other civic organizations. It is said that the Clean Sweep Organization will back him to a man. Then it is said that Judge Bordwell will be entered in the race. In fact, it is said he has consented to make the race. Dr. Haynes is also reported to be a candidate and one who will make them know he is in the race. Chief Sebastion, who has just been reappointed as Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, is considered at all times strong with the people. And now the question will shortly be up to the people, to solve the question. And we think that the people can be trusted, especially so in view of the experience which has been theirs in the past. In last Monday's issue of the Tribune there appeared an article entitled "Colored People in State Make and Save Money" by Eloise Bibb Thompson who is a regular contributor to the Tribune. In this article as in many others written by Mrs. Thompson, she is pleading the cause of the Negro from the right point of view. For never shall the American white man appreciate the real value of the Negro until he is able to perceive his real merit as an American citizen. As was shown in the article The California Negro has made untold progress in the face of adverse circumstances. In reference to the Allensworth School proposition, the time has come for section and not words it is up to Allensworth to discredit Representative Scott explanation or they will be placed in position of espousing Jim Crow institutions. We have every confidence in Justice Overr and we wait for his explanation which we will give to our readers as soon as received. We hope Representative Scott has been misquoted as we do not believe his statement represents the people of Allensworth. We note that our friend, Dr. W. T. Vernon's trip through the east is one of continued ovations which is pleasing to his legions of friends throughout the country and disconcerting to his enemies. Well as to Senator Borah of Idaho; receptive candidate for the presidency, in the face of his uncalled for position on the Immigration Bill, all we can say for him is, "He Won't Do." Now comes Assemblyman Scott of Tulare county if the daily papers correctly report, and puts a new light on the bill asking an appropriation for a school at Allensworth. We hope that he is misquoted, The signs of the times seem to indicate the people will have a chance to go to the bat at no far distant date. President Wilson at last became disquested and told his two friends, Villa and Carranza to fight it out among themselves. There is a worthy movement on foot called the GET TOGETHER CLUB which we hope will be joined by every member of the race in this city. Religion of Deeds. To the California Eagle: Allow space in your paper for me to thank the members and friends of my church here in Riverside for their generosity shown myself and wife since being their pastor.

Gordon filled his place in the pulpit Sunday morning and preached a wonderful sermon [from First John, 4 chapter, "Beloved, believe not not every spirit, but try the spirits where they are of God because many false prophets are gone out into the world." He said in part we ought to cultivate courtesy of speech which calls attention to the best that is in us and that there was no excuse for roughness of speech and to practice kindness of speech. He further stated that many false spirits which have gone out bring false messages and we ought to be careful about what we believe. If we believe a lie, we live a lie; if we live a lie, we die a lie and can never live again, our lives are shaped by what we believe. He said we have had a historical Christ preached to us instead of a spiritual Christ, a Jesus Nazareth, instead of a Jesus of today which dwelt within. But that God outside of us cannot help us and the devil outside of us could do us no harm. Added another defeat to her honor in playing checkers? Tninks they can beat A. L. R. playing checkers?

What a beautiful world this would be if Christians would realize Christ dwells in them. The same Jesus that triumphed on Calvary over sin, sickness and death has come into your life if you are born of God and you are God's own son. First thing he does when he comes in is to thoroughly purge the floor and clean out the house, then he will gather the wheat into his garner by putting kindness and good deeds into your heart and if we do not accept him we are anti Christ.

The 8th St. Christian Church— 1323 E. 8th Street. D. L. McMickens, Minister. The Sunday School installed its officers last Sunday morning. Mr. W. J. Thompson who so faithfully served as superintendent last year and did much to build up the Sunday School was re-elected, with Mr. I. J. Williams as his assistant. There was good attendance at all the services last Sunday. Rev. McMickens preached on "Deborah and Barak Deliver Israel." He explained how women, though seldom spoken of in the Bible, could be used for God's glory, when filled with inspiration. Owing to the fact that women didn't take part in battles, Deborah called Barak to lead an army against Sisera, who was a great warrior. Knowing the strength, of Sisera's army to that of his own Barak refused to go unless accompanied by Deborah. He knew that God was with Deborah and with her, in view of which he would get inspiration and they did win the battle. At the Y. P. S. C. E. Rev. McMickens and Mr. I J. Williams gave a splendid talk on the topic.

McMickens spoke from the 9th chapter of the Hebrews.

Reynolds.] In the Congress which will soon expire there are, from the sixteen Southern States, 134 Democratic and nine Republican Representatives and 28 Democratic and 4 Republican Senators. The Republicans are from the border States of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. The other eleven Southern States are solidly Democratic. The changes which were made in November last were in the Northern and Western States. The South remains, as it has been for the last jorgy years and more, solidly Democratic. The reciprocity of feeling between the Southern and Northern States on all questions of national policy and Federal legislation is—to quote an Irish bull—all on one side. The bitterness engendered in the South by the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment has never abated, and the people of the Southern States are as unreconciled in spirit to it as they or their fathers were forty-five years ago. It was formulated and ratified by the Republican party as an economical and expedient measure rather than one of justice and right. It was thought that the desire of politicians in the South to obtain the support of the colored voter would cause them to treat him with justice, if not with liberality, and to refrain from making him a peon if they did not recognize him as a political equal. Their expectation was never realized. The Klu Klux Klan, the Invisible empire and other southern organizations struck the ballot from the hand of the black man and he has never since dared to pick it up. In Louisiana, for instance, where 79,309 votes were registered at the last election, the Republican ticket polled but 3,734 votes. The male white population of that State is 480,460. The male colored population is 553,824. One white man in six voted, which is below the average in other States, and the black men did not vote at all. In South Carolina at the last election 50,348 votes were cast, of which only 536 were polled for the Republican ticket. In that State the white male population is 843,544 and the colored male population is 408,078. Here again one white man in six voted and the colored men did not vote at all. In Mississippi 64,319 votes were polled at the last election, and the Republican ticket polled about 1511. The white male population of Mississippi is 402,056 and the negro population is 602,796. Here also one white male in six voted and the negroes did not vote. In the six States of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina and Mississippi 474,766 votes were cast, of which but 25,071, or about one 20, were cast for the Republican ticket. In these States the white male population is 2,698,984 and the negro male population is 2,456,097. These figures demonstrate beyond a peradventure, that in the cotton and sugar-raising States, and indeed throughout the entire South the Fifteenth Amendment is a dead letter and cise, and do not attempt to exercise, the right of suffrage. It may be said, on the other hand, that the Fifteenth Amendment and the possibility of the North interfering to enforce it has not been altogether unfruitful of good results. For years no attempt has been made by southern Legislatures to restore a system of peonage akin to slavery by means of vagrant laws or any laws to interfere with the right of the negro to travel or stay at home, work or starve as he chooses. An effort is being made in Congress to tack on an amendment to the immigration bill prohibiting the incoming of colored men. This amendment is a piece of hysteria. There are no colored men seeking admission to our shores, nor is there any African nailon to protest against their exclusion. House Stands by the Negro. Disagrees ty Exclusion of the Colored Man. Washington, Ján 7.—The immigration bill prescribing a test of literacy for aliens coming into this country was seet to a conference committee of the House and Senate today by the House after avigorous debate over the amendments written into the measure by the Senate. Before sending the bill to conference the house registered its disagreement to the Senate amendments, excluding "members of the African or black race" and exempting from the literacy test and the contract immigration provision of law, Belgian agricultural immigrants coming to this country because of conditions caused by the European war. Both of these amendments caused protracted discussion which kept the House busy throughout the day's session. The negro exclusion amendmeut was defeated 252 to 74, and the Belgian exemption without a division. Representative Cullop, of Indiana, sought unsuccessfully to broaden the exemption is order to admit not only farmers, but industrial workers from Belgium and Representative Gallagher, of Illinois, proposed to extend the exemption to farmers from Poland. The House concurred in one amendment, that to exclude all persons of "constitutional psycho-patic inferiority and persons with chronic alcoholism." Much of the debate was against the literacy test provision, despite the fact that this already had been agreed upon by both houses. Representative Gallivan of Massachusetts, made an effort to secure another vote on the proposition, but was ruled out of order.
