California Assembly Has Begun To Legislate By W. A. Payne To the, Press and the Negro Citizens of California:— Knowing the fairness in the average American Press and most certainly knowing that the thinking part of the Negro Race is open to an impartial hearing of both sides of a vexed question, I make bold through the medium of the Press to reply to some of the polite scathings, and many of the veiled threatenings that have appeared in Race papers against Allensworth and its proposed Polytechnic School. In a discussion of the situation I desire to place in their proper and true light, Messrs. Scott, our Assemblyman, and O. O. Overr, our Field Secretary. We hope to make plain the reasons for Allensworth ambition in wanting a Vocational School and set at naught the nightmare of state-wide segregation. We hope before closing to make it very clear that nothing is gained by random talk and scathing references and the cause is not helped in the least by villifying persons whose motives are pure and who have at heart the greatest good for the greatest number. First as to Mesrs. Scott and Overr's part in this move. Mr. Scott is a native son and not a southerner as someone has intimated. The proposition for a school in Allensworth is much older than Mr. Scott's advent into politics. While the average Negro in California is not willing to admit it, Allensworth is a community and acts as such in the many things that pertain to her welfare and progress. Allensworth as a community has asked for a Polytechnic school. She has asked for it in the same manner and spirit that San Luis Obispo asked for a school; or Fresno asked for a Normal School; or as the many communities in this state have asked for a school. She has not asked for it to be made a separate school for Negroes. Long since have we known that such was not possible. To enact a thing in a bill would be class legislation. Our District Attorney last May sat in our Public School building, and discussed the logical procedure for such venture as we had in mind. It was our County Superintendent who suggested the school on the coast as being identical with the one we hoped to begin with. Our bill which is slated to be presented this week mentions nowhere the fact that it is a school for Negroes only, or that all the Negroes throughout the state must come here. Many don't want to come and we certainly have some rathers in the matter. But there are many, on the other hand, who do want to come to just such a community as this presents. The scores and scores of boys and girls who go East, are silent but potent evidences of the fact that Allensworth would not stand alone in her realization of this priceless boon. I stated above that in this matter we have acted as a community. Topographic, health, and travel facilities are all factors in bringing pressure to bear that we are the logical location for a school of this kind. For sometime Tulare County has considered the establishing of a County Polytechnic School at Mooney Park. Our educational committee of which the late Col. Allensworth was Chairman, approached the officials on this wise that Allensworth's progress as a community warranted its desiring recognition as a location for a school of the sort. The presentation of the subject was so definite that the aid of certain leaders was promised and Tulare County being blessed with an excellent system of Public Schools, delayed any further activities on the idea. A discussion of plans, meeting such hearty endorsement from the State School Commissioners especially Dr. Snyder the Vocational School Commissioner, a very active campaign was launched. On our return from Los Angeles where a committee from here had gone to attend the funeral of Col. Allensworth, Mr. Overr was called to attend a County Highway Road meeting in Visalia. Mr. Overr went as representative of the community. Mr. Overr went as representative of the honored member, Col. Allensworth. He then called on Mr. Overr to pay tribute to the departed chieftan. Mr. Overr, as Mr. W. H. Lawson of Pasadena will testify, did so fittingly and in his remarks called attention to the Colonels' ambition to have this school here. He also stated that we here had dedicated ourselves to the perpetration of the work Col. so well began. Then and there Tulare County, with representatives from all the principal cities and communities in the county pledged support to our program. The idea has grown. We absolutely need the school here and for that reason are working arduously to get it. Mr. Scott has had no part in the program until the time of his election to the assembly and since then he has most valiantly worked with us in securing the goal. Mr. Scott nor the community Allensworth is a cats paw in this matter. We have voted in other and ambitious and growing communities. As to Mr. Overr's part. Mr. Overr went south against the wishes of many persons but the consensus of opinion was that there being a bare possibility of our attitude being misunderstood, a trip there was desirable, fully explaining the situation and securing the co-operation of our brethren throut the state. Would giving an endorsement for something we wanted as a community, make you the least liable, for our situation? Certainly no. It is done again and again and no one is the worse. Mr. Overr positively did not try to hoodwink any one, he did not state the bill was for an Allensworth affair when it was really for a state-wide affair. As stated above the bill has been carefully planned and in such way that in case our ambitions are realized there can be no contests because of conflicts with the state constitution. Now listen, there will be no Separate School Laws enacted this session, not only because race paper correspondents say so but the fact is we are greatly exercising ourselves over a matter that cannot come about now, would not be legal if it did come about, but will occur if we continue to unnecessarily prod it. Allensworth has nothing to lose or gain by state wide segregation. Then would it not be senseless for us to do something that can't possibly help us and would forever damn us in the sight of our brother in black. If our social, civil and political freedom in a California hangs on a thread so slender that an act establishing a vocational school in our community will break it, then it is certainly in a balance and will fall very soon, Allensworth or no Allensworth. Tulare County has nothing to gain by state-wide segregation and everything to lose. Tulare County is against it. Our repreentative men denounce it as not only unconstitutional but undemocratic. They are a unit against separate schools but they are on the other hand a unit for the Allensworth Polytechnic School. On our legislative committee we have representative men from all communities and they are striving for this school because one of her communities, a member of her County Board of Trade, is asking for it. With his usual spirit of racial depreciation, the California Negro has far underestimated the place that Allensworth occupies among her sister communities. Fair treatment in all instances are accorded us, and we are heard on all matters pertaining to the County's welfare. Election boards, school boards, Board of Trade, Judicial District, Women's Clubs, Library, road developments, all phases of community life receive their just attention. The truth is that we know less of the jim crow side of existence than our brothers who live in the larger cities. Tulare County would be unpleasantly situated with separate schools. She would have to provide for 6 children in Visalia; 2 in Tulare; 3 in Poterville, etc., etc. Don't think for once that this County would ever give its sanction for a measure that would work such hardships for it in so many ways. One of our strong-precedences for our school is the State Normal and Industrial Department located at Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio. Wilberforce University as it will be remembered is a school established many years ago by the A. M. E. Church. In 1887 a bill was enacted establishing the State Department. I have a copy of the bill before me, secured for us by our County Librarian. There is nothing in this bill that refers to the school as a Negro school and while whites are permitted by law to go there none have ever done so. The A. M. E. church was greatly criticised as was Dr. Vernon when Quindaro was founded, but the School at Wilberforce still stands, is a credit to the Negro as well as the A. M. E. church, thousands have been blessed by it and withal not one iota of freedom in any way has been taken from the Negroes of the State of Ohio. Allensworth can't hurt you. Nothing that we may do will ever hurt you. If your liberties are taken from you it will be because of the untoward actions of your populace in public or other places. We have a fair way to win this opportunity and it will be forever a shame upon the Negro if a few, by loud cryings and haranguings snatch from us this opportunity. Today and all along you have held in Los Angeles, that race women should teach school in certain districts because of the preponderance of Negro children there, that the Board should recognize these racial units. Business men and women seek out these racial units in which to conduct businesses and professions. You are insisting that the city recognize the BLACK vote and put some one in the offices permanently. You call attention to a consolidation of lodges and business in some one building and thereby lend solidity to racial enterprises. Now you are attempting to do as several units in a Metropolis what we are attempting to do as one of the unist of this County. One mistake you are making in this discuss Los Angeles, Cal.; JAN. 23, 1915 Jitney Busses Inaugurate Jim Crow Jitney Busses and Autos acting in the capacity of public carriers,using the streets for which all of citizens pay for are BOLDLY JIM CROWING our people, and their president Mr. Poole at a meeting held at 225 East 6th.

Now it is clearly up to the Forum and our other civic organizations to go before the city council with a strong protest; And if these men are to operate they shall not do so by insulting our citizens and putting in vogue JIM CROW methods in this city. sion. While the editors are very courteous in their discussion, correspondents who are ambitious to become editors add to their usual asinine rentals, the statement that no one wants separate schools but the persons who are looking for jobs. Doctors look for sick people; undertakers look for dead people; the grocryman for hungry people; the legal man for the person in trouble, et cetera. When a man has waded into a discussion and gets befuddled for argument he goes to slinging mud. There's a reason. In concluding fellow citizens, there should be care exercised in even attempting to defeat Allensworth. Thru your papers you are saying you do not want the Negro to do this, you do not want him to do that. We are still asking the public for opportunities and privileges. When you so definitely and roundly denounce the Negro professional men you place in the hands of the white man this weapon, "You do not want the Negro to administer to you and neither do we want him to administer to us." I am aware that much anxiety is felt because of the press statements, I mean Daily Press (whites), as to A Negro School at Allensworth. It seems to me passing strange that everyone is so willing to accept verbatim the words of the press in this instance and when it reports something adverse to you or yours there is always an allowance made for reportorial effervescence. The bill calling for a school for Allensworth; Allensworth being made up of a Negro majority; it can be readily understood why this statement should creep into the press. There could possibly be no such bill passed and whether the session and Allensworth is pushing her bill with the intention of winning. We are told we can't win. That's an old story to us. In 1908 we were told we could get no large tract of land to colonize. We got it. We then were told we could not get Negroes to purchase and colonize. They did and are doing it. We were told Jitney Busses Inau- tion Jitney Busses and Autu- of public carriers,using the citizens pay for are BOM our people, and their pr meeting held at 225 East evening said, If Negroes them a half block make blown out get them out a Now it is clearly up to er civic organizations to cil with a strong protest operate they shall not de- zens and putting in vogue in this city. they could not make a community, succeed in it and get County recognition. We are succeeding. We were told we were foolish to fight for our contract rights for water. We would lose. We won out. We believe we are going to win in this venture. Allensworth girds herself and returns to the fray for civic justice and racial development. With you we are against segregation. Our view point it just a trifle different. You are against it because you desire, because of incompetence on the parts of Negroes, white men to pastor your churches and to care for your sick and conduct your legal business. We are against segregation because to be legalized it puts the stamp of inferiority on the person segregated. We are not in the least particular about while pastors or other professional men. Somewhere we got the fool notion that if men took the same scholastic course and accomplished the same feats educationally, they were about evenly balanced for the race of life. In the words of Abraham let there be no strife between us because we be brethren. If the Negro Ship of State reaches land it will be because of a united pull. You in your way and sphere, do what you can, we are and sphere, do what you can, we can, and you with your five talents and we with our two, if we have wrought well, will respectively head the "Well done thou good and faithful servant." KANSAS - MISSOURI CLUB INSTALL OFFICERS. It was at 1415 Central avenue at the C. A. Biggers Business College that the members and friends of the Kansas-Missouri Club met on last Tuesday evening for the purpose of installing the officers of that organization for the ensuing year. The rooms were tastefully decorated. orated in the colors of the two states, yellow and green, and a great concourse of people were present to see the new officers inducted into their respective positions. The installation was conducted by J. B. Bass, who, with very appropriate words inducted into their various positions the following officials: S. P. Johnson, Pres, represented by L. Hubbard; A. J. Jones, First Vice President; T. W. Patterson, Second Vice; Mrs. L. Slayton, Secretary; Viola Hubbard, Corresponding Secretary; E. Waller, Treasurer; Mrs. Andrews, Chaplain. After the installation there were many visitors present who were introduced to the club, among which were the Hon. W. H. Kelly, who addressed the club and encouraged them in their great work of progress; also Mrs. J. W. Massey, Mrs. W. B. Glass, Miss E. Harris, Mrs. Biggers and others. At a later date we shall publish a detailed exposition of the Kansas-Missouri Clug, with picture of many of its members, officers, etc. MORE PLACES R. C.

We have always added our sum total to the industrial progress of our beloved country in time of UNIONS MEET The Federated Unions met Sunday afternoon last, with the Second Baptist church, the program consisting of song, verse and short extemporaneous addresses, was full of inspiration for young and old alike. In fact, every one seemed to be filled with zeal for the work of the ensuing year. When the program was completed the meeting was duly turned over to the business of the hour, which was the election of officers for the new year, and they were as follows: President, Bro. J. Allen Reese; Vice-President, Sister Willie Willingham; Secretary, Estella Sumner; Assistant Secretary, Bro. Archie Williams; Treasurer, Bro. Naniels; Choirester, Bro. A. J. Nailor; Organist, Sister Lelia Streets; Corresponding Secretary, Sister Lomax, Albritton; Chapain, Bro. Sandrich; Chairman of Program Committee, Bro. James Jones. Everyone seemed to be pleased with the re-election of Bro. Reese, who has filled the office during the last term in a very creditable manner. After the election of the officers the meeting adjourned to meet again the third Sunday in February at Mt. Zion. TENNIS TOURNAMENT AT PASADENA. The tennis tournament at Pasadent was good but rather slow on account of the high winds and cold weather. The Los Angeles players seemed rather out of trim, and with the exception of Dr. Garrott and H. Wilson, the playing was below the usual standard. Bailey of Los Angeles was defeated by Rancey of Pasadena; William was defeated by T. Moore; Mathews was defeated by T. Moore; Dr. Garrott defeated Williams, Pasadena's star player, while Wilson of Los Angeles cleaned Davis of Pasadena. The tournament was successful and peace; we have been loyal to the Government in every battle; we have murdered none of our rulers. In spite of our peculiar trials, we have been extremely patient, knowing as we do, that an overwhelming majority of the American people stand for full justice and unequivocal rights for every American citizen.

No one doubts but that the Saviour made the sparrow just the same; Life he gave it; clothes and feeds it, and protects it in His name. Earnestly we pray you, help them who across the sea may roam. But we say all lives are precious— help the wretched ones at home. Right is right the whole world over, yet it seems that might is right. Oh! it cannot last much longer; God is frowning, help's in sight. On wrong doers he'll wreak his vengeance, retribution follows sin, Slow as it may seem in coming— wrong will lose and right will win; Ere we think 'twill be upon us, and His hand will punish right Vengeance on the wrong, no difference be they black or be they white. E'er we stretch across the ocean to convert the foreign powers, Life and freedom need protection in this Christian land of ours; Till then it will be like pouring precious oil on wilted flowers. The Allen Allenworth Literary and Industrial Club met Wednesday afternoon at the residence of the president, Mrs. C. Hulbert. A very large percentage of the membership was present. The chairman of the literary department of the club, Mrs. J. J. Leggett, recommended that the study during the first quarter be the poetical works of Henry W. Longfellow, our beloved American poet, which no doubt will prove to be interesting. Some Things that keep Jim Crowism Growing All Around Us. Because we do not patronize our own business places enough, and we often put in as leaders incompetent persons because they are members of the society and a member of the church we are, and some time the character of said persona are in question, but because they claim to have graduated from some Eastern school we say nothing; but remember that a college education does not make a man any more than joining the church makes a Christian. They are not all saints, all the saints are in heaven. That helps to keep Jim crowism. Ask some of the race about a race doctor, Oh I am afraid of a colored doctor; or lawyer oh I want a lawyer that the court recognizes; dentists, oh I don't want a colored man working in my mouth. What about race newspapers? Oh, I tell the truth, I don't take any race newspapers because they don't give as much war news as other papers do. I want to know about the war in Europe. The same people never lived further east than Kansas City, with no hope of crossing the big branch. Then we can go to our one race churches and hear our race ministers trying to persuade us to subscribe for some other race paper, trying to make that paper's circulation one million, and the owners of that paper have had thousands of years' advantage of our race. Yet these so-called leaders have not said one word about trying to advance his own race paper's circulation 10,000. Now don't let us forget our own enterprises. Such places as the Y. M. C. A., the Sojourner Truth Home, the Old Folks' Home, let our leaders not forget and add too much fuel to the fire attempting to put it out by gettieg a million subscribers for another race paper and 10,000 for his own race paper. Let us not be so eager to run after another race, but stop to think and try to help ourselves. Let us be loyal to our God and to ourselves and that will help kill Jim crowism. Would it be a good thing for the race if they would say from every pulpit in the city next Sunday that on the 21st day in March, the third Sunday, let it be known as the rally day for the Y. M. C. A. in every loyal church of our race in Los Angeles, and that will help to check the spread of Jim crowism; let us learn to give as well as to receive. Do you know that all of the ministers in the City of Los Angeles meet at the Y. M. C. A. every Tuesday at 10 a.m. Let us see that five-story building go up at the corner of Ninth and Hemlock; let us make a little sacrifice; stop pool playing, beer drinking and smoking; stop buying white shoes with French heels; eight-dollar hats for three-dollar heads. That would help block Jim crowism; and also encourage the poor girls that are not able to keep up to continue to be ladies. No race can rise higher than its women. So do not lead the poor girls into temptation, but deliver them from those hats and shoes for they have not got the money, and the girls are what you make them. You must remember one thing: Whatever you was back home, "somebody here knows." One thing that helps Jim crowism is that married men will let their wives work out night and day, and that helps to drive many a young girl astray. The married woman that stays at home has the best children; the best husband the best kept home, and she is the best wife, and they are the best satisfied and never have any divorce pending in court. While the husband is out to head winning the wife is home. CHAMBERS DRUG COMPANY raising the children—but if she is out with these divorced women she is cross every time she comes home. That class of woman would have started something with Isaac and Rebecca. Men of other races provide for their family and keep wife at home. Why can't our race do the same. The only reason I can see is, our women are, said by some, nothing but servants, and no one has the same respect for servants as they do for those that are not servants. And when your wife is a servant for a man he does not have as much respect for you that he does for the man who keeps his wife at home, for she cannot serve two masters. So keep your wife at home, for it has been plainly written "servants obey your masters." A woman was made to control her own home, and that is her duty; but some men as well as women are ignorant towards each other; they are afraid to serve and obey each other, yet they promise to do so; honor, serve and obey so long as we both shall live; and you said yes, and now you are afraid to do so for fear one would think he or she was bossing. You must remember that the creator made them two separate sorts and never undone his work, and his creatures never can undo it; but they only marry now for a form and say just behind the church stands the divorce court; and it is known that Ministers and Bishops of our race have married divorced women. Now how can you expect to keep down jim crowism. At that sort of thing you might ask why do you have so much to say about the woman, because no race can rise higher than its woman; and see how other races strive to keep their women from associating with any other race but their own race. From a moral standpoint women are leaders up or down for any race. So in our race. Just look at the class of women that control our churches and societies; then you won't wonder why we are jim crowed so much. You might ask why is it that the Chinaman, Japanese and Mexican are not jim crowed as much as our race. The reason is their wives do not act as servants as the negro wife does and no servant can demand the respect as other people do. Back in the South where these ignorant servants came from, they were called Aunt Jane, Aunt Winnie, Old Aunt Julia, Aunt Caroline, Aunt Dinah; but out here they are called Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Jackson Mrs. Turner and Mrs. John Dough and in the morning when she gets to her work she begins to tell the people everything that happened from her front gate to her kitchen to the woman that night. When woman's husband comes she will tell him everything that Mrs. John Doe, her servant, told her today about her eusband. So the next day another nail is driven into jim crowism. To make it stick tighter Aunt Jane will say to her race that "my husband don't want me to work, but I want some pin money of my own. I don't want to ask him for every nickle I spend," but she will say to the woman where she is a servant, "I have to walk, my husband don't give me anything at all." That is part of jim crowism. Then again your wife may be the president or secretary of the W. C. T. U. and have "temperance motoes" hanging on the wall at her home. "Taste not, touch not, handle not the unclean thing," "wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging." Yet that wife servant of yours, will go away from home at night to serve a party for some people where she will serve wine and beer till 2 o'clock a.m. No real man wants a wife of that kind and that is the class of woman that wants to run societie. We should draw the line on that class of women. They are high class women dodging behind the church. There are enough poor girls and single women that have is her place. Race pride, race loyalty, race enterprise is the cry from every pulpit, public spoken men and women; yet some of them are among the first to try to get away from the race. Some of them call themselves Indians. Mexicans, some Caucasians, and some of them say they live where no other member of his race lives; some of them have barber shops and restaurants where not a single one of his race can be served. Can you think of any other race on earth that would do such a thing. That's what keeps jim crowism alive. Any one desiring to be befriended must first show himself friendly; but if you will not recognize your own race you must not expect the other races to recognize your race, but look for jim crowism. Uncle Sam can take one ounce and a quarter of gold and stamp or imprint an eagle bird and make it worth $20. That is money. Did you ever think about the fact that just as soon as one of the race gets $75 or $80 per month he does not trade with one of his own race. Then if he should enter a store owned by his own race and ask for an article which happens to be temporarily out of stock, then he goes away denouncing the enterprise of the race. That is ignorance and helps to spread jim crowism. Do not believe any one who claims to be loyal to his race and does not patronize race enterprise—that's gall. When you find a home that does not subscribe for a race paper, nor have any of the books and literature that should be in the house, that is a mistake. Let us not help those that do not need our help, but show a little patriotism and cast our buckets down where we are, and that will make some show and we can keep up our row. And that it will help us to kill ing American, Roosevelt, we can readily see why the Southern colored man opposed Roosevelt; but he was right when he that he did not want any of those professional negro politicians from the South or any of those white men that had not treated the colored man right, to come to the Progressive convention. We remembered the words he said to Ben Tilman about Dr. Crum, and how he fought for him until he was confirmed; and it was he who said he would rather see all men up than one man down. When the Spanish said or called colored soldiers "black Yankees," he said he did not know that; but he did know one thing, and that was that they were an excellent breed of Yankees, and I owe my life to them. He said to the colored soldiers at Brownsville: I know you are not all guilty, but you all stand together and you all will have to fall together; but those of you who are not guilty can come back, and of those that came back one is today an instructor at West Point, and if Mingo Sanders had known enough he would have come back; and he said I shall not disband them down in Texas but up North, so the Texas authorities will not have them as they were in Chattanooga on one occasion when they lynched them down there. We remember how he closed a postoffice in Mississippi, where some people refused to receive their mail because a colored woman was postmistress. Then he told some soldiers once: If you can't accept your pay from a colored paymaster you won't get it at all. Then when he dined Dr. Booker T. Washington, when all the Southern papers were up in arms against him for doing so, he said it was his own private business, and he did not dine with him because he was a colored man, but because he was a gentleman scholar and his equal. What more could he have said. Some said he was false, but I yet believe he was true. For when he referred to those colored soldiers he said they were nothing less than fighting machines and not a cowardly bone in them. He said not only would the brave Captain and Fish have been killed by the Spanish sharpshooters, for the Rough Riders were caught in a trap, but the Ninth and Tenth coming at Las Quasimas destroyed the Spanish block house. He said to them that between you and the other cavalry regiments there exists a tie which we trust will never be broken. Roosevelt got eleven times as many votes as Taft got for President, and he would not have been a candidate if he had got a square deal at the Chicago convention in 1912, and got defeated. I would rather be right than be president, and let the little political jobs go by. He is the greatest since Lincoln, T. B. POLITICAL POT, BOILING IN PASADENA The political candidates for the spring elections on the first day of April will be April fool day for some one. Three commissioners to be elected. How do these look for two of them—F. E. Twombly and W. S. Lacey. The three incumbents will run again, Metcalf, Salisbury and Allin, also two more candidates have entered the contest, Mr. Roy Kiehl and William Easterbrook. The primary election will be on March 11th. Newcomers and voters who have changed their residence must register over again. Within a few days the city will call the election. Now let the Taxpayers and Voters Protective Association and the Business Men's League get ready at once, and see that every member is registered and can vote.

Overr has arrived upon the scene with his colored poly high school plans for Allensworth. He has addressed a church congregation in behalf of his wants and made a very good impression, he says. "It is four years now. I have been working on this plan for an industrial school for our people. and as soon as I have explained the objects and purposes of the school my people's objections close. Mr. Overr denies the Scott bill means segregation. Assemblyman Scott, the author of the bill, says it does. In the San Francisco Chronicle Mr. Scott "Assemblyman Scott of Visalia wants means for the education of blacks in the valley." Wants the establishment of a vocational school for Negroes, where instruction in manual training and technical branches can be obtained, will be sought in a bill now being prepared by Assemblyman Fred Scott of Vinalia. An appropriation for the school has not been determined yet. It will be proposed that the school be established at Allensworth, California, in Tulare county, where a large colony of Negroes is engaged in agricultural pursuits. Assemblyman Scott said today that more could be accomplished for the Negroes of the State in an educational way by segregation than by the present public school system, and that the Negroes in his district were strongly in favor of the Allensworth institution"—From the San Francisco Chronicle, January 10th. Last Sunday's Sacramento Union has the following to say: WANTS A NEGRO SCHOOL: "Assemblyman Fred C. Scott, of Visalia, will introduce his bill tomorrow in the lower house, asking for an appropriation of $50,000 for the establishment of a Negro polytechnic school at Allensworth, Tulare county, where a Negro agricultural colony is located. The passage of the bill will be urged by Negro educators, who believe that segregation is essential to the welfare of their people. The people of Tulare county are strongly in favor of the establishment of the school, and will offer the State a school site, in the event of the bill being passed." Now I want to give you a few facts and figures about Allensworth. Mr. Overr has two printed folders; he is circulating them to show the progress of Allensworth among other facts the folders state: Population 235 colored, 30 whites public schools, 1; 49 pupils; 2 teachers. We can't imagine more than 50 per cent, of the pupils or 20 are prepared to enter the fifty-thousand dollar polytechnic high school! It follows that the eminent colored educators of Allensworth are aiming at a State school, the first step toward debarring colored pupils from the numerous city polytechnics. I also learn that the white citizens of Tulare county were the last to accept mixed schools or mixed population. Personally I have learned of no converts to the Scott idea in Sacramento. COLORED PATRONAGE The first position given the race was the position of Senate page, which pays $2.50 to W: E. Eason, jr., Last Monday W. E. Eason went on in the Assembly at $5 per diem, as assistant sergeant-at-arms; Rev. T. A. MoEachen, of Hnford, court room clerk, $4 per diem; Major Twine, assistant court room clerk, $3; C. Olivier and C. W. Wilson, gate keepers, $3. All these in the Senate. Assemblyman Scott had a colored man on the ground here, a Mr. Bartley, but he returned home without a position. There were two men and one woman of the the whites, I am informed there were fifty for every one of the assistants sergeant-at-arms. NEGRO TRADE NOT WANTED. There are any number of eating houses here that have this legend displayed conspicuously in Sacramento, and then again there is a number that have not. Assemblyman Frank H. Mouser is one of the busiest men in either the Senate or the House. He is chairman of the committee on public charities and correction; a member of committees on corporations, labor and capital, revenue and taxation and roads and highways. These committees number the most important ones in the assembly, and it can very easily be seen that Mr. Mouser is a very busy man. The daily papers here are constantly mentioning his activity in legislation; his influence is everywhere manifest, and he is invariably spoken of as the laboring man's friend. Mr. Mouser introduced the automobile bill in the assembly, a bill for the Southern California Automobile Association. This bill is one of the most important that will come before the legislature, bringing into the State and county treasuries about two million dollars. The representation north of the Techachapi want the entire amount to go into the State Highway fund, but the Mouser bill aims to retain one million of this amount to be put under the supervision of county governments, and consequently to go back to the county treasuries whence it came. Of one thing the race can depend, that his-interference will help buy any jim crow bills that appear under any title. It is also expected that both a Senate and Assembly bill will be offered making it optional for localities to have segregated schools. Notwithstanding the activity of Mr. Overr it is pretty well understood here that the Negro as a race is not asking for appropriations for separate race schools. Mrs. Walter McNeil, of 7th st. Santa Monica, spend one day last week visiting her Venetian friends. Irwin Tabor was let into the mysteries of Masonry, having been initiated last Monday evening by Crescent Bay lodge. Mr. and Mrs. J. Alien Reese spent Saturday, Sunday and early Monday guests of Mrs. Fanny Adams of Santa Barbara st. and on Sunday evening the party worshiped at New Hope Baptist church. The city trustees removed a Venice police officer, who was guilty of insulting a young colored man. This is one of the many cases where Venetians get justice at the hands of their white friends. Misses Ramona, Marcella and Mr. Clement Lewis were visitors of Irwin Tabor and Edw. Rebes of Venice and had an enjoyable time during their short stay of only a few hours. After refreshing; the party snapped pictures, indulged in other beach pastimes, then visited the B. Y. P. U. of the First Baptist church and from there they journeyed to Los Angeles. The meeting of the B. Y. P. U. of the First Baptist church of Venice Sunday evening, January 17th was one of much enthusiasm and interest, having been led by J. P. Mason; the lesson, "Victory Over Trials," was of unusual interest and much good was abstracted therefrom by the large number in A. Lively, and everybody is invited and welcome. Think Who Was at church for day service for the first time in months? Was peeved Sunday because her beau was entertaining Los Angeles Cramps, and cramps and cramps as per reports? Takes his girl for a ride in the "jitney bus?" Balls himself the speed demon of Philips Chapel? Is so very brave? STOCKTON NOTES Benevolence and its Effect In order to talk intelligently on any subject we must first thoroughly understand it. Webster gives this definition of benevolence. Benevolence is the disposition to do good; good will, charitableness, the love of mankind accompanied with a desire to promote their happiness. The benevolence of God is one of his moral attributes; that attribute which delights in the happiness of intelligent beings. God is love; 1 John 5. Let us enlarge on the last portion of the definition. Benevolence is the love of mankind accompanied with a desire to promote their happiness. Therefore to be benevolent we must love our fellow man and that love will cause us to lose sight of of self in our all absorbing desire to do something for their edification. Like our Lord we go about doing good for the sake of goodness, it is more than charitableness You can be charitable without being benevolent, but you cannot be benevolent without being charitable. Benevolence is the golden chain that reaches from Heaven to earth; it is the substratum of philanthropy, the brightest star in the christian's diadem. Benevolence is a vision from the mountain top. In order to do things to make mankind happy we must be able to see, I mean see in the same sense as the man whom Christ had opened his eyes and the truth uttered by him shall re-echo in our soul, "Whereas I was blind, but now I can see." Not only was he able to see with the physical eye but with his spiritual eyes were opened because of the Christ love that was flooding his soul. He become a good Samaritan because he sees the need of a human being and instead of passing on the other side, stops and does what he can to make the suffers happy. The purity of his motive heightens and refines the joys of each. The good seed soon springs up in harvests of blessings. Benevolence sees the tired worker breaking under a load that is too heavy and institutes some reform to brighten the face and quicken the step and lighten the heart of his fellow man- Because of this amiable quality of the human breast, we have our great philanthropists and reformers. Florence Nightengale whose benevolent heart saw the defective conditions in hospitals, accomodations and labored incessantly to alleviate them. We have our Dorothea Lynda Dip who saw the need of the insane and caused the founding of more than 30 institutions for them who were until her time regarded practically as a criminal class. We have our George Peabody and Andrew Carnegie who see the educational needs of the world. How this old world of ours has been blessed by benevolence. It is like the sweet incense wafted on the air so that we all get a whiff of its fragrance. We have been speaking of large also would do. Inseparately linked with the missionary spirit is the spirit of benevolence. The passion of benevolence is not always satisfied by lavishing gifts of money, but the gift of life; as an example we have our Davis Livingstone, our Judson our late Dr. Murford and others. When God looks about for his jewels these are the ones his eyes rest on well pleased. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." That was an example of the benevolence of God which delights in the happiness of of intelligent beings. His great love for mankind caused him to give his only begotten son that through Him we might have happiness not only in this earthly existence but in the world to come eternal life." The "Hope of the World" was born on Christmas. "Then pealed the bells more loud and deep. God is not dead, nor doth he sleep! The wrong shall fail; the right prevail! With peace on earth, good will to men." True benevolence can join heart and voice with that angelic choir in singing "Peace on earth, good will to men!" Can we do better than to develop the spirit of benevolence. Paul tells us that, 'finally brethen, whatsoever are true, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good rework, if there be any virtue if there be any praise, think on these things." Hanford Items The Second Baptist church of this city have just closed their week of special prayer. Mrs. N. Welcher left for Fresno where she goes to attend the convention to be held in the Baptist church. She will represent the work in this community. The household of Ruth, No. 4948 installed officers Monday night. Mrs. Sadie persons of Bakersfield installing with Mrs. F. West assisting. The services held at Zion on last Sabbath were beyond our expectation, everyone was moved by the spirit. Rev. Weller, our presiding elder, preached two beautiful soul stirring sermons on that day. Rev. J. B. Holmes, pastor, preached at night. The quarterly conference closed with a round report, one addition to the church and $27.45 for the day's collection, Mr. and Mrs. Steven Shaw have returned from Los Angeles, where they have been visiting for the past three weeks. The second Reciprocity Day meeting of the California Federated Clubs in the central division held their meeting in this city, Mrs. Sadie Persons, second vice president, presided. The delegates and officials from Bakersfield were fellows: Mrs. S. Persons, Mrs. Flora West, Mrs. M. Houston, Mrs. H. Pinkey, Mrs. Clara Howard. The day was a success and the reports were excellent. A Mothers Club was organized in this city and the officers installed. The club here has made a payment on two lots and will beautify them at once. Walter Fields has moved into new quarters with his family. Mrs. Eva Brunson and Mrs. Turner were in town Sunday. They visited the Welbher family. Mrs. M. E. Crawford spent few days in our city and reported things were looking fine on the island. GREATEST MOUNTAIN SCENIC TRIP IN AMERICA The grandest recital ever presented to a Bakersfield audience was the Joseph H. Douglass, violinist. We make no mistake in saying that he is the world's greatest colored artist. He is master of the violin. The local talent that assisted included Miss Ethel Randolph, Coloratura soprano, possesses sweet bird-like tones, very dramatic, thrilling her audience. She made her debut as an opera singer in this recital. Miss Kathline Bray of Los Angeles and formerly a writer of the Eagle staff, graced the program as a dialect reader of Dunbar, was at her best and brought down the house with "When Malinda Sings," Miss Randolph acting as Malinda. See what the grand old Eagle stands for saids the girls as Miss Bray, Sailing her colors through as she climbs, Miss Zelma F. Price, the baritone of the quartette, showing her beautiful round organ-like tones, making for herself the queen of lady baritons. She is one of our high school girls pianist as well as singer. Mr. R. F. Price, baritone, sang "Night and Day," keeping his audience spell bound; he was at his best; he was enchored again and again, showing himself to be an artist. Pearl Lowery Winters, contralto, "Samson and Delilah," request, Rosary was at her best. Duette from Il Trovatore, Miss Ethel Randolph. Pearl L. Winters quoted Joseph H. Douglass as saying the best rendition he ever listened to; in fact he said, this program presents one of the best of his career. Mrs. Alain Huston as accompanist was at her best and played everything that was handed her by Joseph H. Douglass. As a sight reader she is a genius. The tones and harmony of the whole affair was grand from start to finish. The audience mixed with the artists of both races and teachers of the school, who said Mr. Douglass was without doubt the best violin- TheTalk of the Young's New ENTIRE STORE DO OPEN IN TIME FOR Milk-Fed Poultry, F THE BEST MEATS DELICATESSE German Xmas Specialtion Cooked OUR OTHER 450 Broadway 216 South Spring 131 Marine Street, M T L O W E GREATEST MOUN TRIP IN AM 25 Miles Through FROM SEA LEVEL TO EXCURS ON F UNTIL JAN. 15 BETTER GO SO accompanist deserves much credit and Prof. H.

Mrs. Winters wishes to thank the public in general for their presence in make it a success financially. Prof. Monroe, speaking in a sweet tone, said "ah; it's great." The sacred recital of Mr. Douglass Sunday, at 2:30, was well attended. All were inspired with the overflow of beautiful music, Mr. Douglass stating that he enjoyed his stay and that the young talen should be encouraged in this city. Mrs. Georgie Washington, of Humboldt street, has been quite ill but is much improved at this writing, but not able to be out of bed. Her mother, Mrs. Egin, arrived Monday morning and will remain until she is better. We hope for our new subscriber to the Eagle a speedy recovery. Miss Ethel Randolph, 812 H. street, Bakersfield, wishes to become a subscriber of the best paper on the coast. Mr. J. M. Bridges, of Winters-Bridges Simpson Co., spent Sunday and Monday in the city.

How many bells? Two, no, three, Yes, and one young miss says, and I'll make it four. Mr. Fountain Brown, who has one of the best pool halls in the city, is making good with the young folks, and doing a good business. We wish him all luck in the world.

McPHERSON, SLAYER OF HENLY BOUND OVER TO THE SUPERIOR COURT BY JUSTICE E. JUDSON BROWN. Red handed murderers regardless of who they kill must stand trial for the same under the present regime of justice in this county. This fact is apparent from the actions of the district attorney's office and by the newly elected justice of the peace Edward Judson Brown. Despite the fact that McPherson, who wantonly killed Henley out on Mission road last month had the best legal talent, who made herculean efforts to have him released at the preliminary hearing on last Tuesday. The evidence showed that the killing was wholly unnecessary, that McPherson had Henley well under control and with many bystanders around whom he could have called to assist him, left his prisoner and went to his house, and came back and shot him to death like a dog. It is reassuring to know that we have men on the bench of the calibre of Justice Brown, who shows by his acts that he stands for justice for all and does not hesitate to do his duty and render unto all a square deal, and this is all that could be asked. The district attorney's office is also to be commended for its efforts to punish crime regardless of who the criminal is. Detective Stevens' work in gathering the evidence in this case and Attorney Tyler's assistance in the case is likewise to be commended. STORMY SCENE AT THE. FORUM LAST SUNDAY President Crumley Lays Down the Gavel and Walks Out. Sunday's meeting of the Forum was in a way a sensational one, and came about as a bolt from a clear sky. The Forum opened in due form and after the regular order of business the report of the committee which has in charge the fight against the proposed vocational school at Allensworth was received and on the adoption of the same or the attempt to adopt it the chair declared the committee out of harmony with itself, to which some of the members took exception, and amidst much parliamentary tactics, the president, it seems, became exasperated and then and there offered up his resignation and laid down the gavel and walked out. To The Eagle man Captain Crumley stated that his decision to quit the presidency is irrevocable, that the very men whom he had labored with for the past six years and whom he relied on for support has seen fit to act differently, and for that reason, citing many instances wherein they had shown their spirit of harmony waning and therefore there was nothing left for him to do but retire. ASSIMULATION BY ASSOCIATION There are two classes of Negroes that are despised by the really better class—and they are those who are always trying to play white, or those who cringe and cower because the white man classes it is almost impossible to say which is the more undesirable. One, from his point of view, is disgraced by the race; the other disgraces the race, and each disgraces the other. However, the toilers of the race hear little from either class except in political campaigns, for on these occasions the white Negro steps out from his cozy corner of isolation and declares himself a race leader; while representatives of the other class declare to the eager politician that he is so closely in touch with the Negro population that he is ready and capable of making a price for Negro support on any terms. Now that the season is approaching when these creatures of creation will awaken and heap further disgrace upon us as a people, let us see to it that we take a stand for justice, and righteousness, and see to it that the race is not disgraced for a few paltry dollars. In the coming campaign let it be that we help to put into office men and issues that have the interest of the whole people at heart, and through this medium not only pace the way for better things politically, but in this way do away with a class of Negroes who reflect no credit on the race, and who is doing much to increase the lynch law. It is meet and proper that we should do something to show our appreciation for our fore-parents who came up from slavery, and who in the face of most cruel oppression have risen to heights of civilization and christianization that dazzle the whole world. The remnants of slavery are growing fewer each year, and in view of this fact The California Eagle is taking the initiative in holding a Lincoln Day Celebration at the New Hope Baptist church, Feb. 12. All ex-slaves, soldiers and the public are invited to be present. The program for the evening will be announced later. On this occasion we would like to get in touch with any ex-slave man or woman we is in need. The soldiers from the Home will be present in a body. ONE OF OUR REALLY GREAT MEN. Maj. John R. Lynch, who is in our city, is one of our really great men, and The Eagle takes great pleasure in welcoming him to our city. His great service to the country and his race endears him to the people of this country. He is among the few ex-members of Congress who so ably filled that position, and in every walk of life as a public man and as a private citizen he has made good. He says he has been able to do so because of the fact that he was not "Afraid to Die." He is still on the job of doing good and while here is anxious to meet the people and if possible from his ripe experience impart to them knowledge for their guidance in their onward march of progress. We have had many inquiries as to why, we let up in our fight on Brown, the white man who essayed to run a Negro journal. In answer to the same we will say that our big guns severely wounded him and he sent out a flag of truce, and we granted an armistice. He is negotiating a real transfer to a Colored man, and as we have no desire to fight any legitimate Negro enterprise, we will watch and wait. If he violates the armistice our heavy guns will again be put in action and we shall be on him every minute of the time. Prof. W. O. Payne of Allansworth presents their side of the question to our readers. We ask a careful perusal of the same and our columns are open for your views on the situation. After hearing both sides of the controversy. We shall defer comment on the same at this time. We are for the people. Their fight is ours. Hear both sides of all propositions. And then form your opinion. The Woman's Republican League, which has its quarters in the Title Guarantee Bldg., of which Mrs. Richardson is president, recently appointed Mrs. Eliza Warner as a member of the Executive Board, Mrs. Morgan Robinson is also a member of the same board and since being on the same has rendered valuable service. Watch our next issue for an article on the doings of the Woman's Republican League and their relation to Colored Republicans.

ALL CALIFORNIA SHOULD READ "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 St. Philips Church [Episcopal] Between Clanton and 16th Sts on Paloma Sunday, January 24 Sunday School 9:30 a. m.

Zion Baptist Church Everybody seemed pleased with the services at Mt. Zion Sunday, the attendance was good. The pastor preached at both services. At the morning service he preached on "The Transfiguration and its practical bearing upon the everyday life of the Christian." At the evening service he preached upon "Public Opinion." He said many good things to us at that time: One or his main thoughts was "Leaders who are governed wholly by the opinion of the public ar detrimental to public good" taken from Aaron and the Golden Calf. The choir rendered good music, the anthem "Nazareth" was sung at both services to good effect. Next Sunday the pastor will preach at both services, at the morning service, "By Night." Prof. Archie Williams will sing. At the evening service, the first of a series of four sermons on The Wandering Boy," Miss Minnie Albritton, the best singer that Los Angeles affords, will sing, "Where is My Wandering Boy." We had a great time at the Ministerial Federation last Tuesday. Rev. Woodby of San Diego addressed the federation, using for his subject, "Are we church members Christians?" After the address a hot discussion followed. Next Tuesday Mr. Bass of the Eagle will address the federation. As little as it is thought of the people of Los Angeles the federation is doing good work for the betterment of our people. All of the important issues of the day come before the federation for its endorsement. Not a movement of importance where the race is concerned is recognized very much unless it has the endorsement of the federation. ARCHIE WILLIAMS, Secy.

The sermon was logical and forceful and accompanied by the Holy Spirit. At the evening servict Major John R. Lynch spoke to a large and appreciative audience and in a very practical way gave the audience the benefit of his experience as a public man, point out the things in his life that had contributed to his success and achievements. The Major is, the author of a book, the title of which is, "Facts About the Reconstruction."

They spent an enjoyable evening in bible study and study. ```markdown ``` of the Sunday School lesson. At the close the class was served with ice cream by the hostess, which was highly appreciated by the members of the class. On the evening stated above Mr. Lively visited the class. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. A. E. Harris, 1514 W. 37th street. Visitors are welcome. Owing to the fact that the Sunday School lesson for January 24th is a continuance of last Sunday's lesson, Rev. McMickens has taken up his expository sermon from the book of Hebrews. The morning sermon was found in the tenth chapter. He explained how the burnt offerings made upon the altar in the tabernacle did not pardon the sins of the people but simply put them off for another year. For illustration he used a person that owed a debt which was due at a certain time of the year. At the appointed time this debt came up against him and he was not able to pay the debt and, instead, the interest was paid by him year after year. So it was with the people living under the law of the Old Testament. No person's sins were forgiven until the time of Christ dwelled on earth in the human form of a man. Rev. McMickens said the blood of Christ went backwards as well as forwards, and pardoned those who died with faith in God. The Y. P. S. C. E. had a splendid program last Sundav and is looking forward to one much better for January 24th, which is as follows: Sunday School superintendent, Mr. W. J. Thompson as leader; Duet, Misses Jackson and Johnson; reading, Mrs. R. H. Keith. In the evening Rey. Wm. Z. Hopper, will take his text from Hebrews 10:16, 17. Subject, "The Two Covenants." The old covenant was for the children of Israel, which was composed of the ten commandments. For proof he used Deuteronomy 6:1, 2; 9:9; 2 Corinthians, 3.6 and Hebrews 7:11-14. He spoke of some people today trying to bring the old covenant into our lives today by keeping the Sabbath, which was done away with at the end of the old covenant and how the old covenant had to be done away with, so as to establish the new covenant, which was established in the hearts and minds of the people, rather than on stone. Sunday January 24th Rev. McMickens will preach on "The Call of Gideon" in the morning. In the evening Mr. I. J. Williams will Rev, C. H. Anderson, D. D., Pastor The services at New Hope Sunday were very inspiring, the Holy Ghost was present when our pastor, Dr. C. H. Aneerson preached two exceptionally strong sermons. "Doing Good" was the morning subject, the pastor laid great stress upon the subject, for all christians to do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. The B. Y. P. U. was called to order at 6:30 and was largely attended. At this service Dr. Leonard Stovall addressed the union. Many encouraging points were brought out by the speaker and very ably discussed. At the evening service our pastor's subject was; "Christ seeking the Sinner" Luke 19-10. He said in part, Christ came into the earth seeking lost men. For the son of man is come to seek and to save that which is lost. Next Sunday at the mornugift service the pastor's subject is, "The Righteous Happy in Poverty" Psalms 37-16. B. F. ANDERSON, Church Reporter. The Men's Co-operative Club of the New Hope Baptist church are preparing a reception which is known as a anniversary and reunion. The club is making an effort to make this a grand affair, it will take place at the New Hope Baptist church Tuesday evening, February 2nd. The public is cordially invited. All members of the club are requested to be present Friday evening January 29, at 7:30. B. F. ANDERSON, President B. HIGHBAUGH, Secretary. Tabernacle Baptist Church News thursday evening the Christian Aid Society met and elected its officers for the next six months. They will be installed Sunday evening by the pastor. Miss C. Bedney and Mrs. M. Foulkes entertained their Sunday school classes Saturday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Foulkes, 2241 Damon street. The afternoon was spent in various games, after which a two course repast was served. The little ones returned home happy, saying the time was only too short. Quite a large attendance at Sunday school. Four changes were made in the teachers. Rev. Gordon preached at 11 on the "Mystery of the Ages," Colossians 1-25 He said in part that we were as ignorant now as to the mystery as in the days of Christ and we would have been naught. We as a race could not have been held in slavery and things would crumble down if the truth of the gospel was known, as people do not give up their ideas and netions until something happens. Whoever dares publish this must bear the name of a heretic. Everybody seeking to improve but more or less money. "To whom God would make known what the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." The mystery of the gospel will always be hid until we get a certain amount of knowledge, we should go out to know more. Just what your soul is longing for is in the gospel found, what the world need now is a fresh inflow of the gospel truth. We need light on certain lines and will not be satisfied until we find that light and that is what human nature is hunting for and it is found in the gospel as no where else. That is what Solomon was hunting for and missed, Get religion then open it up and find you have a box with the very things you were looking for, the trouble is so few of us open the box after we get it, our lives, our thoughts, our mind our feelings will all change when we open this box which God has given us. It has been hid for ages Abraham, Enoch and other men of God saw it and were glad, but each generation has to find it for themselves, the masops are still looking for the lost word and no generation shall find it without a sacrifice. We can afford to give up everything just to know this one truth That God is anxious to make known to us this mystery, it is a mystery that some ministers and some church folks will ght and this mystery we need to know, which is Christ in you the hope of glory. Christ came among men and to lighten every man that cometh into the world. Our blunder is we are praying to a God over yonder, but the Christ in you is the one who is to hear us and bless us. Two things we must believe in before doing work for God, believe in God and believe in ourselves, we having misunderstood God by our former teachings of God in a distant heaven. All the light we get is from indwelling Christ, we should not simply take the name of Jesus but take Jesus unless we have him we have no life in us. He also said we should not turn back when this truth dawn into your life. What would you do if you fully realize Christ in you the hope of glory. At the evening service he preached a short sermon on the subject "Work" and installed the officers of the church. The trustees are Bros. R. H. Hall, chairman; A. McDowell, J. Mills, J. Settles. Deacons are Bros. S Oliver, R. H. Williams, J·W Walker, Hawkins, Norwood, L·Davis, clerk; Troy, sec.; T. Hall W. E. Sandridge.

Read The Louis Barnes, a young Negro, after taking a course in electrical engineering marries Eva Lee and comes to Los Angeles to live. He applies at many places for a position for which he has been prepared, but he is turned down, very often on his inexperience, but more often on the color of his face. Finally he accepts a position as porter on the limited (now run by electricity) from Los Angeles to New Orleans. On one of his return trips the engineer drops dead at the throttle in the midst of the Mojave desert. Louis, being the only one aboard who has studied electrical engineering, is given the job of completing the run. He makes the run to Los Angeles on schedule time, he is given $200 and a life time job by the superintendent who formerly turned him down because of the color of his face. Louis Barnes sat at the desk of his scantily furnished library thinking hard of that great problem that confronts every energetic young man who is trying to rise above the discriminations against his, the most persecuted race on earth. But the thought that gave him most concern was how was he going to rise in the world financially and support himself and wife on thirty dollars per month. He was thinking of the difficulties that had hinddred him obtaining a position for which he had prepared himself. The facts were these: he, Louis Barnes, had been reared in a small town in Alabama. His mother and father having had no advantage of an educariyn themselves, were desirous of Louis, their only son, having all they could possibly afford, so for this reason they had denied themselves of many thirgs. They sent him to the public schools at home and then to Tuskegee Institute. In the course of his six years training the Grim Reaper claimed both his father and mother, and Louis was left to face the world alone, but the lessons that he had been taught by his parents were seed sown in good soil. Louis spent the greater part of his time in Tuskegee in preparing himself for an electrical engineer, and he did well. When he came out of school he married the girl of his choice, Eva Lee, and they came weat to live. Like other young men of his time he felt that the world needed him badly and was stretching out her arms to welcome him among her core of workers. So when Louis landed in Los Angeles he was filled with himself. Louis promptly domiciled himself and wife in a three-room apartment and after placing an advertisement in the Examiner for a situation as an electrical engineer, sat down to await results. As a result of his advertisement he received three telephone calls to apply in person for the position wanted. Accordingly, he dressed himself in a way to seem as important as possible, and started to the designated places. At the first place he opened the door of the manager's office and walked in. "Good evening," said Louis. "Good evening," returned the manager, not turning his head for so, much as a glance to see who his visitor might be, "What can I do for you," and continued to write. "You told me to apply in person for a position as electrical engineer," Louis replied. "Oh!," said the manager turning in his chair for the first time, "Where are your references?" Louis pulled out his diploma, and passing it to the manager said that he had just finished that course last year. "You have never been employed in doing this work," said the manager, merely glancing at the certificate. Louis replied that he had not. "Your experience is not sufficient," said the manager, passing the paper back and returning to his writing at the same time. In vain did Louis try to interest that person in the thoroughness of his course but he refused to listen and continued his writing as though he had never been disturbed. Louis was provoked with that manager; but he console himself by thinking that he had still two other places to present himself. When Louis arrived at the second place and stated his mission, he was told shat another had applied and had been given the job. When he was on his way to the third and last place things didn't seem so bright. He hoped for the best but he was wholly unprepared for what he did get. The next week he advertised in the Times with no better results. Finally he fell to answering advertisements as they appeared in the local papers. He was always turned down, very often on his inexperience, but more often on the color of his face. Then he had to take whatever he could get to do, so he accepted a position as ported on the Limited from Los Angeles to New Orleans. This position paid a salary of $30 a month, barely enough to support himself and wife. Now as he was going over these facts his heart was becoming more and more hardened, he tapped nervously on the desk with his pencil as he thought of different plan to advance himself along financial lines and as often as he made them he dismissed them as no good. Finally he became so worried that he jerked up his hat and slamming the door behind him he strode out into the ftreet for a breath of fresh air. When he returned his wife was laying the table, and when she saw him she gave him a smile of welcome, whereupon he clasped her in his arms and smothered her with kisses. He had never been able to behave himself when she smiled bewitchingly at him, in fact it was one of her bewitching smiles with a mischievous twinkle that had answered for "yes" when Louis had asked her to be Mrs. Barnes. Like all women know their winning card, Mrs. Barnes knew that certain one of her smiles was her winning card when she was playing with her husband. So just like an ardent young lover he held her off at arm's length admiringly and said, "I haven't a job worth a cent, but I have the most adorable wife in California." When they had finished their evening meal, while Eva was washing the dishes Louis went to the book-case and took out his text-books on electrical engineering and renewed his mind on the fundamental principles, not that he had forgotten, but he wanted to keep them fresh in his mind. He sat with his face in his hands, his eyes closed and imagined himself with an electrical engine in hand, she was responding to his every touch, and a thrill of pride passed over him as he realized that God had made man to rule the world. He was awakened from his reverie by a light touch on his arm, when he looked up his wife was bending over him. She nestled down beside him, placing her arms around his neck and promptly all thoughts of electrical engineering were dismissed and he became all eagerness to hear what she had to say, for he knew that this was the position she chose when she had something important to say to him. "Daring," she said, "I know that you have great ambitions in life, and too, I know that you are in no way near the goal you wish to attain, but you must be patient and not allow discrimination against our color and lack of financial means keep you from appreciating the beauties around you and cause you to become old before you are actually so in years. We have youth and health and pure purposes and with such we can accomplish many things, we must be patient." She waited but he made no reply other than to tighten his grasp around her waist, then she kissed him and left him. Next morning Mr. Barnes arose early to make ready for his long run. "Dearest," he said, "I'll be away possibly a week this time, my run takes me straight through to New Orleans, amuse yourself as best you can, I'll send you cards all along the way so that you'll know I'm thinking of you, good-bye." She watched him from the kitchen window till he got on the car. He turned as he was getting on the car and blew a kiss to her. She arose from the window-with us sigh and went about her duties with a heavy heart. I wonder what the future has in store for him, mused: Then Fate said "I wonder." The Limited, now run by electricity, had excelled all records in making the run to New Orleans on two and a days and now was on the way back to Los Angeles. The passengers were engaged in various bits of conversation, some laughing and chatting gaily, some making acquaintances, others gravely discussing the war and the probably effect of it. No one seemed to have noticed that they had now entered on a broad level stretch of arip land until the porters called their attention to it. The Limited was now speeding toward the center of the Mojave desert. Suddenly the train began to lose time and shortly came to an abrupt stand still. Porters began to rush to the front to ascertain the cause of the stop. It did not take long for the news to spread that the engineer had fallen dead at the throttle. The passengers were politely sympathetic at first, but when they began to realize that they were in the middle of the desert with no one to steer them further their sympathy for the poor unfortunate died away and they began to wonder what could be done. The conductor cursed his luck. Why had not the company provided him with a substitute in case of necessity, as it was, he was in the center of the desert with no engineer. Louis walked to and from among two sure to employ you as engineer on this train. "Will you?" "I accept the position," said Louis, with a gleam of triumph. "Report for duty day after tomorrow," said Mr. Burns; passing Louis the check for two hundred dollars. Louis thanked him and with a bounce was out of the office. He was so eager to be home to tell Eva the glad news that he could not wait for a car, so he hailed a jitney bus, promising the owner five dollars if he would take him home as fast as all speed laws would allow. The news of the former engineer's death preceded the limited to Los Angeles by wire, so that when the train arrived newsboys were loudly calling out the daring headline3 "Negro takes position as electrical engineer on the limited!" Eva Barnes bought a paper and could scarcely read of her husband's wonderful good luck because tears of joy blinded her eyes. "Later they were discussing the matter she said, "Darling only a week ago we were in the midst of the desert with no engineer, but now we can see the lights of the city to which we are going.

The command came as a surprise, but the passengers scrambled into their respective coaches, wondering who was the new engineer. Louis pressed the button that, turned on the current, placed his hand on the throttle, the whistle blew and the limited sped on the way to Los Angeles. There was a little time lost but Louis made it up so that they came into Los Angeles on schedule time, 8:45 a. m. "Come with me into the offie Mr. Barnes, said the conductor in a tone a trifle more respectful than he was accustomed. When they entered the Superintendent's office Mr. York said, Mr. Barnes, we were in the middle of the desert coming this way, when the engineer fell dead at the throttle. There was no other who knew enough to run the train other than this young man. You see he has brought us in on schedule time. I promised him a hundred dollars and— While a.l this was going on, Louis stood like one in a dream. When he first went into the Superintendent's office he remembered his first visit and now, as he heard the Superintendent's words, he recalled the saying "vengeance is sweet," and he knew that he had obtained his revenge in an honorable way. While Mr. Burns was writing the check, the conductor walked out. When he had closed the door, the Superintendent turned to Louis and said "Young man, I remember you to be the same one who applied to me some time ago for a position as electrical engineer. I also remember that I told you that we did not employ nig- MUSIC DEPARTMENT Instructors: Prof. H. Douglas Greer, Director and Instructor of Voice and Piano. Mrs. L. M. Williams, Piano. R M.
