Fight Against "The Clansman" Lost by City Council And Many Citizens of both Races Lincolns' Birthday Tellingly Celebrated at The New Hope Baptist Church Volume 28 NEED OF CO-OPERATION. The victory we have won in our fight against the "Clansman." I call this a victory, for a few citizens, backed by their organizations, have called out and challenged the very elite of the legal talent of the city. We so earnestly presented our cause that the City Council unanimously voiced our sentiments and passed resolutions instructing the Chief of Police to stop the pictures and although the matter is still in the hands of the courts, at the time of writing we have just cause to repoice. This victory merely goes to show how much we can accomplish by persistent co-operation. The committees appointed by the various organizations stood in one solid phalanx with but one purpose, and in their unity was success. We owe a debt of gratitude to Rev. W. J. Byers from the Ministerial Union, Mr. J. Scott of the Forum, Chaplain Naive and our brilliant attorney, E. Burton Ceruti, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. On several occasions Mr. Ceruti acted as spokesman and his remarks were always pregnant with logic and sound judgment. In his address before the City Council on Monday, one and all felt proud that we had so able a representative. What we need in Los Angeles is a sound, strong organizations to be on the lookout for these emergencies. An organization well supplied with brains and money to act at a moment's notice. Those whom we have to stand against use their best talent available and backed with money, as we saw in court Tuesday. We have but little talent and less money, the more so why we should concentrate our efforts and build up a good organization. You may say we have organizations enough, to which I readily agree, then let us join forces like men, put our very best forward and give them our moral and financial support. Unify our strength and stand ever ready for the cause of righteousness and not wait for moments of sporadic activity when it is generally too late to do good. J. A. SOMERVILLE, D. D. S. The Los Angeles branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will have charge of the evening services Sunday, Feb. 14, at the following churches: First A. M. E., 8th and Towne. Wesley M. E., 8th and San Julian. Second Baptist, 740 Maple ave. Institutional Baptist, Crocker and Agatha. A. M. E. Zion, Pico and Paloma. St. Phillips' Episcopal, Fifteenth and Clanton. Westminster Presbyterian, 35th place and Denker. Friendship Baptist, Pasadena, Cal. Do not fail to hear the eloquent addresses and the efforts that are being made by this association for the uplift of the Negro and securing for him his full and equal rights as an American citizen. The death of Rev. J. A. Trimble last Sunday at his late home in Venice was a sad blow to his sents a goodly number. Rev. Trimble was born in Georgia forty years ago, but has lived in Los Angeles a number of years. He was married some years ago to Miss Teressa Edwards, a member of one of the oldest families in this city. Rev. Trimble is but a young man, but so well has he lived his allotted time that not soon will he be forgotten. The funeral services were held at Tabernacle Baptist church, and Revs. J. D. Gordon, Lively, McCoy, who paid tribute to his memory, spoke in glowing terms of the life he had lived and the impression he stamped upon his family and friends. 1915 LENT 1915. Another year has rolled around, another Lent is opening upon us. As a ship returning from a long voyage seeks to have her compass adjusted and her chronometer corrected before she leaves port, so the Christian at the approach of Lent should pause to assure himself that the course God has mapped out for him is being followed and that his life is keeping to the path which leads to the shores of eternal life and not the rocks of eternal death. Having done this, keep the following rules severely for forty days (Sundays excepted): 1. Be more stern and severe with yourself and more charitable and forgiving with others. 2. Read either St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke or St. John's Gospel for ten minutes immediately before bedtime every night and realize that God is quietly beside you. 3. Say NO to all social functions, banquets, receptions, dinner parties, card parties, theatres, moving pictures (secular) and other forms of amusement, and be bold and honest enough to show your coolrs by saying "For it is Lent." 4. Say the Lord's Prayer every day at your dinner hour. 5. Inconvenience yourself to visit the sick in their homes or in the hospitals, whether you know them or not, and ask the priest or pastor to give you something to do and do it. 6. Be present at every service on Sundays and during the week, unless you must work. 7. Lay aside 5 cents every day which you have saved from chewing gum, candies, moving pictures, street car fares, and offer it to God on Easter Day, as your Lenten self-denial offering. 8. If you want advice, help, further suggestions or confession, go and see your pastor at once. Priceless will be such a holy season to you and unspeakable the joy of the Easter feast that will crown it! Won't you try it this year? It may be your last. MRS. REED TO HAVE CHAIR IN COUNCIL In recognition of the regular attendance at council sessions by Mrs. Emma Reed, mother of former Councilman Haines W. Reed, the city council today by a unanimous vote decided to purchase her a desk and chair. The motion was made by President Whiffen when Mrs. Reed, who was appointed by the council to view the film." The Los Angeles, Cal., FEB. 13, 1915 Clansman," returned a report that she thought the film aroused race prejudice. MM. AZALIA HACKLEY'S RECITAL AT FIRST M. E. CHURCH. In spite of the inclement weather a fairly good gathering was out last Tuesday evening to hear Mm: Hackley. And for nearly two hours she entertained her hearers.

Pond Pope, is a direct answer to the "Clansman" now being played at the Auditorium. The "Clansman." Thomas Dixon's "Clansman," supposedly history in fiction of conditions in the civic and social walks before and after the Civil war, not only misquotes the history of those periods, and belit- ```markdown ``` A. B. ABRAHAM LINCOLN tles the morals of Afro-Americans, but heaps a gross insult upon the North. Afro-Americans Try to Stop the progress Showing of Clasman in Los passed in am natural ap knowledge, There are both Caucasian Americans and Afro-Americans who seem to think that the efforts made by members of the race to stop the showing of these pictures destined to infuse racial hatred and stir up strife amongst us here, was a mistake, and that the protest of the city council only stimulated a greater desire by a greater number to see the film. But we are of the opinion that as long as the Afro-Americans of this country sit supinely by and raise no voice against the injustice heaped upon them, conditions for them in this country will gradually grow worse. It is time that the black sons of Ham raise not only their voices, but exercise every right that is granted them as citizens against lynchings and other forms of in- --- justice permitted by a country for whose safety they stand ready to protect, and for whose honor they would gladly lay down their lives and count it a privilege. It is needless to harp on the same old string that pictures the conditions out of which Afro-Americans ascended from slavery; to note the progress made by this people in fifty-two years in the face of most cruel oppression, or to even express any hope for a radical change of civil or social proceedings with regards to our people. But in order to announce to the world that Afro-Americans are no longer heirs of fate, but masters of situations, let sound a trumpet of impatience, not out of our own strength but out of God's. And even as the waters of Jordan divided in order that the children of Israel might pass over into safety, so will God's mercy envelop such spirits as Dixon, Tillman and Blease, and the day will come when the children of earth will live together in harmony and love. There Is a Cure for Every Ill. Fifty-two years of progress will not only reverse the feelings engendered by the pictures of the Clansman, but in reality will picture the patient if not happy mood in which the Afro-American 9 passed in and out of slavery. His natural aptitude for gaining knowledge, his love of peace, and the progress made by him in science, arts and literature within fifty-two years. FROM THE SCRAP BOOK SOMETHING FOR NOTHING SOMETHING FOR NOTHING Most people believe there is no getting something for nothing. Yet there is a large number of our race of the male persuasion who are endeavoring to live by their wits. You see them well dressed and seem to eat regularly, yet "they toil not, neither do they spin" or have any visible means of support. They must depend on someone for their existence. They drift through the world without a purpose, with no thought of the future. Their excuse is their inability to secure work. The majority of them are wholly unfit to fill the most ordinary position if the opportunity was given them. They have shunned work and responsibility --- until they are helpless in the struggle for existence. Wives, sisters, mothers or some outcast of society are their sole dependent for their daily bread. In most cases men of this class have come to the conclusion that the world owes them a living and they can get "something for nothing." That spirit has been created through laziness which is a curse to the individual and a menace to the community and develops a desire in the young men to follow their example. It takes all kinds of people to make a world. This world has been made; therefore, there are all kinds of people in it. These people move from place to place. The quickest and most convenient way for them to go from place to place is on the train. The men who serve these people their meals and try to please their various and oftimes curious appetites are waiters. The men who put them to bed and watch and care for them and their property while they sleep are porters. There are also other porters on the same train. There are also all kinds of porters on the road. Some are good, while others are bad. So, when the bad porter comes in contact with the bad and disagreeable passenger, then comes all the trouble we hear about between the passengers and the porters on the train. As a result, sometimes the passenger "gets" the ventilator stick and at all times the porter gets "fired." On the other hand and more frequently the agreeable, congenial and accommodating porter comes in contact with the passenger of the same temperament. The result, as a rule, of such contact, is a pleasant trip and all information along the route, for the passenger; a pleasant trip and perhaps a letter containing a good word to the "boss," for the porter. Then sometimes it happens that the good-natured porter meets a chronic crank on the trip. Then it's up to him to be a diplomat—to see that he gets what the service calls for, don't hear his kicks or abuse and steer clear, as far as possible, of his association, for he is the kind that "turns you in" and writes you up, "being heedless of the fact that the loss of your position means as much to you and your family as the failure of his firm means to him and his household. As humble as your job may be, it is your business and is the same to you as his bank is to him. It is the means by which your home is made happy and your children fed, and, as has been said, "He who takes the means by which I live, takes my life." Then comes the most obnoxious of all—the grouchy porter. He will not play with the baby. (Experience has taught me it's a mighty fine way to "make a hit.") He pretends to know nothing about the places or scenery along the route. He does not possess that perpetual smile that won't rub off—which is so catching—and often makes a bad passenger good. He does not adjust the window shades to keep the sun out of his charge's eyes and in the meantime allow him to view the scenery en route. In fact, he is too big for his job. Such a porter should look for something more in accord with his dignity The late J. J. Neimore and not make a bad name for men who for years have served the traveling public as porters and made a living for a family, and friends among the best people of the country. A wise porter will study his people individually and cater to their likes and dislikes and put forth every effort to please. Smile, and your tips are larger, and tips are really what you are working for. You cannot expect something for nothing. So be a diplomat. A cheerful expression or a pleasant word costs you nothing, but gets much for you in return. I often wonder why the traveling public call the porter "Gawge"—whether it's in honor of the father of the company—George M.—or in honor of George Washington—the Father of our Country—for their veracity in writing statements. SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST JAS. ALEXANDER AS TO HIS RACE LOCALITY The Forum on last Sunday was a seething caldron when Secretary J. R. Scott openly made the statement that James Alexander, well known employee of the U. S. Internal Revenue Department, had made statements in which he had told ex-District Attorney Fredericks hat with modifications he (Alexander) would assure him as attorney for the picture people that the Clansman was all right, and that he had called off the opposition of Rev. Byers and the Colored people. The gathering was indignant that Alexander would dare to assume that he was in any sense their representative in the premises and the feeling was intense against him at the meeting. We have not heard Mr. Alexander's statement, but J. R. Scott made the accusation against him openly and stated he would face him with it. Editor J. B.

Dunbar has members of morals and brains. And members of wit and bravery; Members, who do not only say, But offer, plan and lead the way. Our Dunbar, has men of great renown As great as in any nation found; Men who would not dare refrain To speak of California's racedomain. On Dnnbar's topmost round, Boyden, Reed and Duncan are found, To show the heights, All great men attain. As our motto doth proclaim, We are climbing fearless of harm, or Dunbar members are lifting, All those who wish to climb. The Clansman grossly misrepresents the Black race, also the white race. It incites the races and makes more prejudice between the races. Our aims are that these things should not be, therefore it is the bounden duty of every good citizen to use every honorable means to see to it that this play does not appear in any community by moving pictures or otherwise, if it can be prevented.

IS THE MAYOR Mayor H. H. Rose, who has so plainly shown his antipathy for our people, should hang his head in shame, after making his grand stand play for their suffrage and procuring his election on his false pretense of friendship for the race, he has show himself an ingrate, by his non-recognition in every way that it has beer possible to do so. Last year he humiliated a delegation of Colored ladies which waited on him in regards to discrimination in public places. This year he treats lightly our citizens' protest again the pernicious Clansman. What kind of a man is this? We know of Esau who sold his birthright for a mess of pottage, but of this modern municipal statesman he carries away the palm for ungratefulness. We asked of him the uplift. He has given us social clubs instead.. We have known the Hon. Henry J. Allen of Kansas for many years.

Peace! Prosperity! Union! WAS JUDGE JACKSON JUST? There is a question in the minds of the Afro-American representatives present at the hearing in Judge Jackson's court last Wednesday as to his fairness in the decision of the showing of the "Clansman." WHITE AMERICAN'S SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS It seems strange that with all of his years of education and experience the white man should console himself with the idea that the Afro-American will always be content with being the target at which prejudice is hurled. Never before was there such a demonstration of loyalty as was that last Wednesday when the showing of the "Clansman" came to trial in Judge Jackson's court. Men from all walks were present, eager to hear the decision which came as a blow to some, when Judge Jackson openly stated that he saw no good reason why the "Clansman" should be barred, and advised those of us who raised the objection to keep quiet or I suppose get lynched. The fact that the white man is selling his soul for gold was demonstrated this week when priest and parasite declared that the "Clansman" had swelled the city's treasury too well to be ostracized.

The speaker on this occasion will be HONORS TO FREDERICK DOUGLASS. Frederick Douglass stands out boldly as the greatest statesman which the race has ever had. Born in slavery his will was such that the bonds could not hold him, and he burst them and escaped from slavery to serve his race as a great force for their liberation. And from this and the other great deeds which he accomplished for the honor of his race is indeed a potential reason why we too should revere his memory equally with reverence we do unto Lincoln, the emancipator. During the periods before the emancipation, when it tried men's souls to speak against the slave oligarchy, Frederick Douglass traveled from place to place in the North and in Europe, and his mighty eloquence was a prime factor in creating a sentiment which was the undoing of the slaveholder. And through his life his service to his people was unselfish to the highest degree, his greatness was a bulwark to rest our cause upon. In public life and the various positions of honor and trust which he held he fulfilled his stewardship without a flaw or a blemish and his name too will go down with ages as one worthy of emulation. And this mighty progress of the race was really set in motion and accentuated by the matchless Douglass, and in honoring Lincoln, Douglass, whose anniversary is so close to Lincoln's, we can simply with the highest honor and credit continue the same honor and reverence to Frederick Douglass. Born a slave, he rose to be a statesman, a diplomat and a mighty factor in a mighty nation. HONORING THE MEMORY OF LINCOLN. The anniversary of Lincoln is one which our people should hold in reverence throughout this country, for no man living or dead has been instrumental of rendering such signal service to humanity as the greatest of all commoners and humanitarians—Abraham Lincoln. And it is therefore with commendable pride that we refer to the duty of the race in the premises and to the fact that throughout this great country today they are holding appropriate services in his memory. And how have we shown and proved worthy of this great act is reflected in the remarkable progress which we have made from the year 1863, when Lincoln affixed his signature to that memorable document, the Emancipation Proclamation, to the present attainment of the race in 1915, just 52 years ago. From an illiteracy of 95 per cent at that time, our illiteracy has been reduced to less than 30 per cent, a remarkable accomplishment indeed, and as the race has acquired this priceless boon, ignorance and superstition has disappeared. In its place refinement and all of the things that go with education are now the priceless heritage of the race. With this the acquisition of wealth is reflected in the 600,000 homes owned by the race, thousands of farms and ranches, banking institutions, insurance companies and all of the other channels of the mercantile world, aside from the progress which has purely been their own by their own efforts in fostering and promoting various religious and fraternal organization to the credit of not only the race but to the entire country as well. Then truly it is meet and proper that on each and every anniversary of the great Lincoln the highest compliment which we can pay ourselves is to do reverence and honor to the memory of the greatest of all statesmen, Abra- If in the market to buy or Sell, Houses, Apartments or Rooms to Rent consult our Calendar.

Experience teaches much that schools do not. Theree is more lynching in one segregation state than there is in all of the other States together. Where there is no segregation, for that means outlaw, it takes more than a literary education to make a successful teacher. Do you remember that Booker T. Washington had to take a sweeping examination before he could enter Hampton, and after t then he was appointed janitor, where he had to dust and sweep four or five class rooms, and there were 200 students there and not 49. And when Mr. Campbell, a Southern white living at Tuskegee, wrote to the president of Hampton, Gen. Armstrong, asking him to send him a suitable white man for principal of that school the president replied that he did not have one, but he had a competent colored man. Then Mr. Campbell said send him, he would be acceptable. So he sent the man that knew how to sweep the house, Booker T. Washington, and he made good. Let us have race pride loyalty, but not be foolish about it; let us be prepared to receive the great things when they are due. Let us go and not stop. But you must remember that all high flyers do not go to the top. California Eagle Correspondent.

A GREAT BOOK ON THE NEGRO QUESTION By Prof. Charles Alexander Every reader of this journal should have a copy of "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth," the great book just published by Sherman, French & Company of Boston, Mass., written by Prof. Charles Alexander of Los Angeles, California. This wonderful book contains the narrative of the life of Colonel Allen Allensworth, who rose from the lowest levels of degradation in slavery to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Regular Army of the United States, the highest rank yet attained by a colored man; and it also contains the history of the Negro race from the beginning of the slave trade in the United States up to the present time. This book is written in the most fascinating style, with bits of moral philosophy and sound wisdom, altogether admirable. It is intensely interesting to readers of every class. It is one of the really great books on the Negro question—a most valuable contribution to our historical literature. Orders sent to Prof. Charles Alexander, 502 Thorpe Building, Los Angeles, California will be given prompt attention. The book contains over 400 pages and sells for $1.70 postage prepaid Books of this kind usually sell for $3.00. Agents wanted. OUR PRESIDENT AND VICE By Eva Carter Buckner. Mighty hands must rule this nation, if successful it would be, Caring for both high and lowly, who've entrusted all to thee; Keeping watch as the Saviour on a sparrow when it falls, If it cannot, like the eagle, sail o'er highest mountain walls. 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. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` are making a special reduction in all our Fall and winter suitings which include the latest fabrics and fabrics and weaves from the best mills in American also including foreign weaves which we will make up with superior workmanship and style and we guarantee a ready to most fastidious.

Tabernacle Baptist Church News There was quite a large congregation out Sunday morning to Sunday School, also at the eleven o'clock sermon when the pastor filled the pulpit and preached on on the "Internal Christ" from Phil. 1, 21. For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. There were a large number of visitors and strangers at our morning services which we are always pleased to see and welcome. Among those who made themselves known to us was Bro. Thompson, a veteran for the cause of Christ, and who testified as to having accepted the internal Christ years and years ago. Mrs. Ella Edwards was also with us. She recently came to our city from Kansas City, to make it her future home. She is the sister of Miss Ada Roso, with whom she is making her home, 849 Hemlock street. One of our Sunday School scholars, a young lady, accepted Christ and joined the church at the morning services and is to be baptised soon. Among the sick are mother Williams and Rev. H. H. Williams, who is greatly improved. Leslie Kenny and Sister Winters on the West side remains very ill. Master Eddie Lee was also indiposed last week and we missed him very much. The pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon Sunday evening and explained to us as to where the dead are. He took for his text John 5, 25-27. Verily, verily I say unto you: he that heathth my word and believeth in him that sent me hath everlasting life, and shall not come unto condemnation, but have passed from death unto life. The hour is coming and now is when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear Him shall live. He brought out many beautiful truths, and gave us to understand that the man that believes in the Son of God had eternal life, and the ones that did not believe him were dead already in trepasses and sin; and we do not have to lie in the grave and wait for a trumpet to sound before we have eternal life. He said that In his discourse he drew a practical picture of the effects of habit, exemplifying the worth and importance of "Keeping the heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life." Covenant meeting was held at 5 o'clock. A laage number was present and a spiritual feast was had. At night Mr. Archie Williams, church clerk, preached his first or trial sermon from the text. Acts 9-15, 16. His theme was: "Those who are able." Quite an enthusiastic and appreciative audience was present and expressed inspiration from listening to a logical discourse.

Less than four years ago Mr. and Mrs. Prentice started a little store on Ninth street with less than $100.00 worth of stock. Today they are sole proprietors of the two largest dry goods stores owned and operated by Colored people in Southern California—one on Ninth street, not far from Central, the other at Third and Rose. It is needless to say anything about support, for it you have any pride, whether race or otherwise, you will send your support. [Name] Sidney P. Dones Candidate for City Council sat down and read it under the clothesline. Such heavenly sweetness entered my soul that I felt like jumping up and shouting, and I received so much good out of it that I had to tell my husband and one of my sons about it. The fourth letter I received seemed to have still more of the power of God behind it. It seemed like heaven had entered my soul, and I was more interested in the things of God than I was about eating and what the family were talking about. I was happiest when alone with the Lord, for I was drawing closer to God. I felt led to ask Brother Goss to come here and preach to this people. He prayed and asked the Lord also, and was led to come. The Lord witnessed to me that He would send him. After a time the Lord sent him and he laboured here for two months. After he came I was more earnest and desirous than ever to seek and receive this experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I seemed to get closer and nearer to God every time I prayed. Sometimes the power of God was very close to em and on June 9th, in the morning, I said to Brother Goss, "I feel led to pray." He said, "Alright." So we knelt down to pray and after prayer, the power of Ged fell on both of us. I was so happy I could hardy do anyage of the Church. They said that God was returning the baptism unto the Church as in former times, according to Acts 2:1-4. I read their letters but hardly knew what to think about it, as I heard so much against this present truth. Sometimes I thought it seemed like Bible and was almost believing; and again at other thing but praise the Lord. He had perfect control of spirit, soul and body, and I did receive the Holy Ghost and spoke in other tongues as the Spirit gave me utterance, according to Acts 2:1-4. Hallelujah! Praise the dear Lord for evermore! I am still praising the Lord and will praise Him throughout all eternity. I am so happy in the Lord every day and hour, and that same power of God and holy boldness which came upon me on that day, is still with me; and the same Spirit which witnessed to me at my conversion witnesses every day, of the abiding presence of the Holy Ghost. Truly, the Comforter has come. My greatest desire is to be just what the Lord wants me to be and I want to be useful in the service of God. I do not want to be idle but to be up and about my Father's business, for the Lord has been so good to me that I feel like helping others. May every soul who reads this ask God to lead them if they have not received the Holy Ghost. Do not stand back because somebody does not believe in it, but pray and read and search your Bible and find out for yourself, and God will show you. But, and if you do not believe and would rather ask man than God, he cannot show you. You must be honest with God and yourself, humble and teachable, and the Lord will do His part. R. C.
