The Grim Reaper Exacts Heavy Toll in Our Midst GRAND RE-OPENING TUESDAY, MARCH 2 THE CAFE With the opening of the Panama Exposition many industries among our people are starting up that will do credit to us as a race, and among them in this city, is the re-opening of the Waldorf Hotel and Cafe next Tuesday under the management of Mr. R. Hite. Those of the citizens who remember the Waldorf a few years ago when Mr. Hite was at the head need no introduction to his management. He has always made good, and now that he has started anew we expect even greater results in the way of hotel and cafe arrangements. Mr. Hite has already spent several thousand dollars in remodling and re-arranging the Waldorf. The Waldorf has arranged to accommodate the first 250 visitors to the Panama Exposition. This means that the Waldorf leads and other hotels and cafes must follow.

One will go a long ways to find a city the size of San Diego with the grit and ambition of this city at the furthermost point of the United States on the bay of that name. Here we find a class of citizenship which is up and doing and have built the greatest exposition of any city of its size in the world, and they are running it with great credit, not only to themselves, but to the entire country as well. No one who can should fail to visit this fair. It is all that it is represented to be and no one can only in a faint way tell of its wondrous beauty. It is a cast of tasting the pudding to tell of its sweetness and flavor. The Eagle has an appreciative clientage here, it is firmly established, and it is our custom to annually visit our readers, the business men and firms, who see the great work which we are doing, and they are not backward in encouraging us by giving to us a hearty support. So, even in these Democratic times, they realize our worth and continue to give to us a hearty recognition. The following firms and individuals are now and have been willing to give to this great enterprise their support: The Crest Market & Grocery, Deans Millinery, Mode Cloak and Suit House, Mdme.

A. track team and the Young Men's Alliance of Pasadena, has been postponed on account of the track meets of the city High school which are scheduled for this date. Many of the Colored athletes of this city are members of the city High school teams. It is hoped that the meet will be staged March 13th. A New Genius There are many geniuses among us unknown, but one was discovered last Tuesday night, at the Dunbar Literary Society, in the person of Miss Maude Roberts. She has composed many poems which aer worthy of note, and we have succeeded in securing one of her poems this week, which she composed in memory of the Great Emancipator. Lincoln and the Emancipation. Ladies and gentlemen we meet Lincoln and the Emancipation. Ladies and gentlemen, we meet tonight. For memorial cause; It brings us back to days gone by; Days of memory one and all. Emancipation was declared But determination strong, Brave Abraham would not give up Until he conquered wrong. His own heart felt the bitter pangs Which the Negro did endure; New courage came with God for guide, Until our victory won. Forty-eight years ago What did the Negro know? Except to plow, to cook, To cotton pick and hoe; No book was he instructed in, No education given, The only knowledge that he knew: He knew there was a heaven, To there his prayers were daily sent: He prayed both night and day. Until the dawn of freedom came And bondage moved away. Let us not forget the prayers, dear friends Our fathers and mothers prayed Let us not forget the promise that To the Lord they made. God is a great defender, He can fight The nation's foes; He stood by Abraham when he proved The God he loved. Step by step we are advancing, Look not on the years behind, But by great determination, Upward, upward, ever climb. See our boys and girls around us, We must for their future plan; Go into business; stick to business Little talk can hurt the land Idle talk neer buys the land. From tonight, dear friends, I ask you Let us see what we can do, In the way of enterprising, busi In the way of enterprising, busi ness, Which will make a show. "Honesty" should be out motto, "Lifting ever as we climb." May all honor due to Lincoln Los Angeles. I am a stranger within the gates of beautiful Los Angeles. Last August in Paris, France, I was in the midst of the terrible woe of war caused by intense race hatred. One morning I witnessed the destruction of two Maggie milk shops owned by a German corporation. I saw a mob of frenzied men, women and children attack and demolish inanimate objects, plate-glass windows, plate-glass mirrors, milk bottles, everything until nothing remained but the walls. They took away debris for souvenirs. The mob then moved onto other shops, and in that neighborhood alone five Maggie milk shops were destroyed as fast as the mob could do their futile work. All over Paris the news spread and by night every Maggie shop, numbering several hundred, as well as many other German and Austrian shops, were demolished. If an innocent German or Austrian had been in any of these shops undoubtedly he would have been killed by the mob. A rumor that the Maggie people would poison the milk was responsible for this outbreak. The government paid the Maggie corporation, boarded up the shops and tried to remove the evidence of the destruction. Race hatred had caused the lower element to forget that they were human beings, much less citizens. Last night I heard a description of the photo-play, the 'Clansman,' which is to be presented by a local film company and which is now extensively advertised. I understand that it mocks law and order and contains scenes which will undoubtedly lve in the memories of every witness. It belittles Lincoln and represents our immortal martyred President as a shrunken nonentity while John Wilkes Booth, the assassin, is featured and hionized. Besides sanctioning all forms of lawlessness provided they are committed by the favored race, it represents scenes of war and bloodhed and causes sectional sympathy which in this day should not be encouraged. It does not represent the truth and, if it did, its presentation cannot fail to have an unhealthy and far reaching effect in the matter of race hatred. The actors and actresses naturally overdo their parts in order to impress their work upon the minds and memories of the patrons. It is a foregone conclusion that because the production is a money-making scheme, that much money has been spent upon the films, but what are a few thousand of dollars to the possible disgrace of a mob? The civic authorities in Southern cities are suppressing these race-inflammatory plays. I was in Birmingham, also, two years ago, when this (or another drama) was suppressed through the efforts of the white Christian ministry. My home is in Philadelphia where, some years ago, several thousand quiet colored people blocked the street to the theatre where this or a similar play was produced; The colored people were driven to this extremity. In New Jersey recently, when a ten-cent store advertised offensive THE PEOPLES FORUM r Midst Hickley rests the Clansman St. Patrick Day post cards which ridiculed the Irish race, the priest and a committee of Irish citizens requested the manager to remove the cards. When this was refused a crowd of Irish citizens took the matter into their own hands and destroyed all the cards. It is lamentable that the greed for a few dollars and a political pull with civic authorities should permit heedless disregard of psychological effects and results. If a photo play cannot leave a clean healthy memory it should be prohibited. If sensational photo alays are desired there are plenty of other books which could be properly represented, From now on Los Angeles will be crowded with tourists. Los Angeles should net be the means of spreading the seeds of sectional and race hatred. Can the Christian men and women, the right-thinking people of Los Angeles, afford to feed the kind of sentiment that this and other race-hatred photoplays present to their children? In the hour of this cruel European war, why should we present cruel, blood-thirsty pictures of a past epoch and sentiment which should be forgotten. We are all under one glorious flag, and no sectional or race hatred should be encouraged. I understand that on the Censorship Board are two moving picture managers. Is this fair to the Los Angeles public? Sincerely yours, E. AZALIA HACKLEY. LAW PARTNERSHIP. James Hosick, who has, until recently, been a deputy in the City Prosecutor's office, and Griffith Jones, well known as an attorney of prominence, have issued announcements of partnerships. The Eagle takes this opportunity to congratulate each one upon his association with the other, and to wish them great success. Hosick and Jones will have their offices at 512-14 Byrne Bldg., corner of Third and Broadway. "Jim Hosick" was internationally known as a detective and later, when he became an attorney established a marvelous record as prosecutor. The writer has been present upon numerous occasions when Mr. Hosick has been prosecuting and his manner was always that of a man who merely laid the facts before the jury, as was his duty, and there let the matter rest. He was in no sense a prosecutor. He is as strong a defender as he was prosecutor. While Attorney Griffith Jones is well known in the courtrooms of this county, it is a political speaker the writer is most acquainted with him. During the recent campaign the editor was frequently upon the political platform, and as chairman of many meetings had an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with Mr. Jones. Wherever this gentleman spoke he received a welcome which expressed the esteem and high regard of his audience. The Eagle wishes the firm of Hosick and Jones that success which surely will be theirs.

CARR, THE PIONEER SETTLER Pasadena Colorado 54 CLANSMAN Atlanta, Georgia----Uncle Tom's Cabin Would Abraham Lincoln approve the Clansman? Please ask Judge Jackson and Capt. Fredericks, as they did. When Atlanta Georgia refused to allow Uncle Tom's Cabin to play until they changed the name on February 15th from Uncle Tom's Cabin to Old Plantation Days, and cut out the whipping post and auction clock. The management agreed to produce the play to suit Atlanta after the avalanche of protests against it came in, and the result was a radical change made in the play, so as not to bring any ill feeling between 75e races. On March 20th, 1852 Harriet Beecher Stowe issued the first edition to show to the world the cruel treatment that the Negro received in order to have it stopped, and is finished now. So you can see the colored population in Atlanta about '61. There's another thing about Atlanta: there has never been a colored person lynched in that city, but they have had riots where they killed each other. We remember when a man by the name of Romalace Shield killed the brother of ex-mayor W. R. Jaines and he was acquitted of the charge. Another man was there in the '60's that was a very careless man of his time. His name was General W. T. Sherman, and when he left it it went to the shop for repair and staid in the shop for 30 years, but it is out now, and has its twenty-story bank building, and it has more sky scrapers per capita than any city in the world. It is a Southern city at heart but has Northern arms and legs, and has walked away from the southern city and is the vortex of prohibition in the South. So come out Monday night to Wesley Ohapel, 8th and San Julian, and hear more about Georgia. March 1st the Georgia Society will meet. The Taxpayers' association has appointed a political committee to look after the political affairs at the coming election. What is the Business Men's league going to do? Now is your time to straighten out things. You must not fail to get the Eagle next week, for it will tell you all about it. Business Men's league meets Tuesday evening.

While at the annual dinner the President of the Brotherhood of Los Angeles Captain and Mrs. F. H. Crumbly were the guests of President Prince of the local brotherhood. President Crumbly and Secretary Rogers of Los Angeles spoke, and many of the locals also had their say. It is said by those that were present that it was the most enjoyable time ever had by the Brotherhood. President Prince acted as master of ceremonies, and they will hereafter have one every month. DIED. Rev, Jordan Seagrave died Monday nsight at his late residence, on 33d street. Reverend Seagrave came to California in 1893 from Atlanta, Georgia, stopping at Riverside. From there he came to Pasadena, where he remained for a few years. From there he went to Los Angeles, where he engaged in contracting. He leaves five sons to mourn his loss. He was a native of Georgia and was about 63 years old, and had lived in the State for 22 years. Hanford Items One of the prettiest and most interest|weddings of the season was solemnized on Wednesday night, February 24th, 8:30 p. m. at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Ayres. Miss Ellinor Crawford, eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Crawford and Mr. Loyd Welcher, a prominent young business man of this city, also son of Mr; and Mrs. John Welcher, were united in happy wedlock by Rev. G. W. Ayres, pastor of the Second Baptist church. The rooms were artistically decorated. The ceremony was performed under a beautiful green arch, dotted here and there with sprays of white blossoms. The bride wore a charming white satin gown trimmed in white satin rose buds and shadow lace. She wore the usual bridal wreath of orange blossoms, her long bridal veil falling in soft rippling folds while she carried in her hand a bouquet of white carnations. After the ceremony the bridal party and invited friends repaired to the dining room where a very dainty luncheon was served. Miss Crawford was the recipient of many beautiful and costly gifts. Mr. and Mrs. Welcher, Jr. will be at home to their many friends after next week in their pretty new bungalow just completed at 213 West Third. Allensworth Public Schools Among the recent appointments made by President Wilson is the appointment of Norvin E. Powell as postmaster of this place. Mr. Powell took the civil service examination last August and made a high average. He is a young man of splendid qualities and will make the most of this opportunity offered him to advance himself. He is a graduate from the High school of Pueblo, coming here with his parents in 1913. He is secretary of the Allensworth Rural Water Co., president of the Young People's Christian Alliance and in general has made himself useful in the community. He hopes to have the matter of bonds and fixtures settled by the 15th of next month and will erect a new building and in addition to his duties as postmaster will conduct a small business. He has the best wishes of the community for a successful tenure of office. Allensworth means opportunity for the young man. Justice O. O. Overr arrived home last Friday after a visit in the Bay cities. Mr. Overr reports much interest taken in Allensworth and the general wish is expressed that the community may succeed. Much interest is being taken in the "Back to land" movement and Mr. Overr believes that are long there will be a general exodus of our people for rural communities where the cost of living is not so high and where the individual finds an opportunity to produce as well as consume. Mrs. Joseph Altensworth, donor of the Mary Dickerson Memorial Library; Miss Ethel Hall, custodian of the local library; W. A.

Young Singleton in addition to his splendid school work is prominent in athletics, plays 1st violin in the High School Orchestra' and a horn in the band. A surprise Valentine party was tendered Miss Margaret Prince the evening of Feb. 15th. The surprise was cleverly carried out as a rebuke to the school marm for a boast recently made that a surprise party, pure and simple, was an impossible if the surpriseee had gumption enough to note what was going on around him. She thinks differently now. Soon after assembling, decorations were arranged and the entertainment of the evening began.

It is said that the literary feeling among the young people who were interested in the Frederick Douglas literary society is being destroyed with long and unnecessary arguments which consume quite a bit of time, wherein the society's hour to adjourn should be 9:30, but instead it is 11 or later. The program committee, who are very much interested in the uplifting of the society, used a greater portion of its time trying to arrange a suitable program, deemed it beneficial to present to the society subjects for public discussion, upon entering into these discussions the chair's decisions were overruled as when to close argument, and it prevailed. Some steps ought to be taken to prevent this in the future. All are invited to attend the Frederick Douglas literary society Monday evening. A very interesting program will be rendered. You are requested to be on time, which is 8 o'clock, or you will be late for the program. R. FLEXNER LARK, President Pro Tem. P. W. RIDGWAY, Secretary Notice.

Peace! Prosperity! Union! Mr. Hobart Johnson, the all around athlete of U. S. C., has been on the sick list for the last couple of days. We do not know just who is the one to get out the chestnuts for the promotion of a Negro ticket. It looks like Maj. General Jack Johnson is still master of the situation and that after all Mohammed must go to the mountain. The Managing Editor of this paper and the Editor desire to extend our appreciation for the many letters of congratulation from friends throughout the country and in this city. We trust that we shall prove worthy of the confidence expressed and be of greater service, united as we are, than we have rendered in the past. The Negro easy livers have commenced to be in evidence now and are a disgrace to the race which they claim to represent, running around to the various political headquarters, making asses of themselves and subjecting the race to be criticized. We verily believe that it is about time these leeches should be shown up, just who they are and what they represent, and how they live when there is no campaign on. For policewoman we have several worthy aspirants, indeed, either of which we believe will fill the position with honor and credit, not only to themselves, but to the entire community as well. The grim reaper has been unusually busy in our midst during the last fortnight, and has called from the humblest to the most prominent, and it can be verily said that we know not the day nor the hour of his coming. If we could all go out and pick money from trees, there would be those who would complain, but we do not think there will be much complaint from anybody when the time comes to vote out the present Democratic administration. The exposition now being held at San Diego is well worth going to see, and all who can possibly afford to do so should by all means pay this one a visit, as well the big show at San Francisco. ```markdown ``` PASSING OF DR. J. L. McCOY The grim reaper this week has taken for its toll one of the strong pillars in our midst, Dr. J. L. McCoy. His passing, sudden as it was, cast a gloom over the entire community, for no one who knew him could but say that he was indeed an upright Christian gentleman, who was one of the strongest pillars for the cause of Christianity. Not only in his own church was his influence felt, but in all of the walks of life was he known by his works. It was only recently that a grand testimonial was rendered by his friends and admirers in appreciation of his great work in our midst, and it should indeed be refreshing to those who took part in the same to know that they were among those who distributed flowers of kindness in his life time and that he was permitted to know to a small degree that his service had been appreciated. Today those same friends, with others, are gathered to pay the last sad rites to a life well spent and to bow in humble acquiescence to the call that all men must answer. THE BIG UNIVERSITY CONCERT. The Colored students of the University of Southern California is about to afford the public one of the biggest and rarest treats of the season, in the form of a concert by the Glee Club of the University of Southern California. This treat is to be given at Wesley Chapel, March 22nd. The proceeds of this concert is to be the gift of the Colored students of the University to the University, to swell the fund for a bigger and better University of Southern California. Watch this column next week for information concerning the tickets and program of the biggest and rarest, and most unique concert that the Colored people of this city have had the opportunity to attend. It is rumored that Clarence Brown has promised not to dance until after Lent. My, we wonder why. Weley Chapel Notes. The 27th Anniversary Banquet of Wesley Chapel was indeed a great affair. 250 people sat down at the table to enjoy the good things furnished as well as the social pleasure of the evening. The ladies who furnished this banquet deserve the highest praise from the church and the community. Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. J. Sykes, Miss McFadden, Mrs. Baber and Mrs. Josephine Smith, Mrs. Godson and Mrs. Baker were in direct charge of the banquet and were ably assisted by other ladies. The pastor and congregation feel very grateful to these ladies as well as to the good people of Furlong Tract who came down to the banquet to the number of about 60. Also the ladies who represented the Friday Morning Club, in charge of Mrs. K. Cole and Mrs. Beatrice Ball. This affair was so generally helped that it is hard to pick out any individuals for special reference. The young people of the Queen Esther Circle, of which Miss Vassie Williamson is president, wer greatly in evidence. One of the finest features of the evening was the scene of seven of the original members of the church, or those who organized the church 27 years ago. These circled around the fine birthday cake furnished by Mrs. Hunt and Miss McFadden and designed by Mrs. Lovett. These seven members blew out the $2^{6}$ lights and watched Pastor Kinche as he made the first incision in the $n$ cake. Then every one joined with $e$ bese seven veteransan singinh $h$ And are we yet alive and see each others face. Glory and praise $t$ Jesus given for his redeeming grace. Preserved by power divine to full salvation here. Again in Jesus praise to join and in His sight appear." If in the market to buy or Sell, Houses, Apartments or Rooms to Rent consult our Calendar.

McDonald has opened a first-class cleaning and pressing establishment at 363 Central ave., and wishes his friends to look him up. The Business League's program at the Providence Baptist church Tuesday evening was a grand success. The Eagle Cafe has opened up next door to The California Eagle office. The same is conducted by Mrs. R. H. Todd. The place is clean and strictly first-class. She asks for your patronage. Mrs. Lester Mapp of San Francisco, who has been at the bedside of her mother in San Diego, passed through the city this week en route to her home in Frisco. W. H. Shores, who spent his two days' vacation in San Diego last week returned Monday and says the exposition is great indeed. G. W. Watkins of Oakland passed through the city this evening en route to the Imperial valley. Owing to an unprecedented demand we will in our next issue reproduce the splendid story written by Mrs. R. F. Green, entitled "Lost on the Desert." We have continued calls for the same and to accommodate the people, we shall publish it again. This week has been one of many false reports as to the death of prominent citizens. The rumor was that Dr. Neison had passed out, he was found very much alive. Dr. Sykes reported dead was experiencing a rapid recovery and others reported dead were the same. Lindsey Bowdoin a second year student in the High School was the victim of a distressing accident last Tuesday, when he was run over and instantly killed by a locomotive. He was the son of Mrs. N. Bowdoin, 707 S. Sichel St. He was 15 years old, the family are grief stricken over the tragedy. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Schackleford of 1158 E. 34th St. entertained with a delightful dinner party Sunday in honor of Mr. Bowles of Columbus, Ohio. Mrs. Pearl Winters, our Bakersfield correspondent, returned to her home Saturday evening. Mrs. Davis, mother of Ollie Davis of the New Age, is reported seriously ill at her home near Watts. Owing to the funeral services of Dr. J. L. McCoy being held at the time as we go to press we will in our next issue give a full account of the same. Mrs. W. B. Glass of the Kansas-Missouri cafe on East Ninth street, continues to conduct that place in an up to date manner and it is the headquarters of those who desire the best in home cooking. Mr. Sol Thomas has been granted a permit to open a cafe and club room, corner of 8th and Central ave. Mrs. T. A.

The Folk Song Festival at Trinity Auditorium, Tuesday night, March 9, will be a revelation to those attending. The chorus itself is a remarkable effort, and to hear all compositions of Colored composers will be an inspiration to young musicians of Los Angeles. There are certain race people in every city who are the ones to hear all the racial burdens and who support the churches and other racial effort. These are the people who will support a special effort like the Folk Song and Festival, rain or shine. It will not be possible to postpone the Festival on account of rain as no concerts at the Trinity Auditorium may be postponed. The white race never fails to support its own efforts as the Grand Opera, the theaters and even "The Clansman" prove. They find a way to get to their entertainments in spite of the weather. Colored people are often discriminated against in the selection of certain desired seats. At the Folk Song Festival they should avail themselves of the advance choice of seats. It is the proper thing to do. First come, first served. The very best seats—the front rows of each division are offered by the ticket sellers at the various churches, at the Sojourner Truth Home, the Y. M. C. A., the Cumings Drug Store, the Prentiss Drug Store, and Dawson's cafe. School students who will purchase before March 2 will receive any ticket at half price. The first fourteen rows of the orchestra at $1, the 75c tickets begin at the fifteenth row. The east balcony is the back balcony. These are choice seats for hearing and all are 75c each. The side balconies are called north and south balcony, respectively. The front six rows at 75c, the balance 50c. In the second balcony, which is at the rear, all seats are 50c. In other cities for a huge effort of this kind, the society people and the young people arrange for box and concert parties. Other organizations often reserve ten or twelve seats for a concert party. It is the up to date way followed by the other race and it is one of the proper things for Colored people to do. Come and see what Colored singers can do if given an opportunity. Try to get white patrons to come out and hear the chorus of 150 voices. Let the latter see what Colored people can do. The prices are within the reach of all. The prices of the best seats are lower than for the usual attractions at Trinity Auditorium. They could not be any cheaper considering the immense expense. The great chorus for the Folk Song Festival has over 160 people enrolled. Non-attendants will be cut from the list to make the required number of 150. The rehearsal on Tuesday night was most satisfactory. The remarkable tone coloring and effects that Colored singers can produce was plainly in evidence. The friends are welcome at rehearsals, provided they sit in the seats distant from the singers. DADDY SHORES Our good friend, W. H. Shores, who stands guard over millions at the Security National bank, got caught off his guard on his visit to San Diego last Saturday and Sunday and in some way lost his watch. Now we not pretend to say how friend Shores lost that watch. He might have been looking up at the tall buildings or he might have been so engrossed at the many attractions on the Isthmus on the Exposition grounds, but we are sure he lost it and we are going to ask Mr. Shores to make a statement as to how he lost that watch. Dz. J. A. Somerville wishes to announce that he has removed his Dental Office to his residence, 1104 East Washington street. All the modern improvements known to dental service have been installed; he will be prepared to do all kinds of Dental work. Office hours: 9 to 12, 1 to 6. Evenings 6 to 8 p.m. Phone South 2715.

Plied to white nurses employed in N gro hospitals, or sanitariums. The Attorney General of Virgiria, declares in substance that the primary law.can disfranchise Afro-American citizens and therefore any group of citizens, when a majority of a given party organization, declares that they are inelligible to membership in such organization. That is the attitude of the Democratic organization of Vir- ginia, and most of the Southern States. Some of our leaders tell us, that the South best understands the Negro, and that our best friends are the Southern white people, while the ill treatment we receive at the hands of the white South, gives the lie to this theory. It was explained that it could not be rea- sonably expected that the Southern whites, could feel and act kindly to- ward a class of people living among them, who so universally voted against them, that the suuth would treat the Negroes better, shouldthey divide their votes with them, etc., then many thousands of our people, in all section, ‘of the country, decided to try the ex- periment and elected Mr. Wilson. See ‘the results. Professor William M. Sloan of the Columbia University, Chigo, says inequality among races is indisputable, but injustice comos when the color of the skin is made the criterion of equal- ‘ity. The best cure for race prejudice, he thought, is knowledge and associa- tion, An intelligent child will ask its parents why do we have to go so far to school, where her little neighbor the hive girl, only has a short walk to her school? What can be the satisfactory | answer to your child? The truth would ‘be humiliating. As the Professor says, knowledge and association among the ‘races where they become acquainted, ‘recite together, sing and play together, they visit each other, they are on equality at school, and as the ancestry of one may bea generatfon of learned /men and women, the other has no an- “cestry, unless a mixed blood, and some- ‘times hard to trace; so let’s have mixed schools and forget this segrega- ae lidea of sepsrate schools for the ‘colored children of California. [From the Scrap Book by J. D. Rey- nolds. ] Resolved that separate schools for colored children in California should be maintained. To be discussed Monday aight, Febsuary 22d, by the Frederick Douglass Literary Society, Colored Weekly.) Booker T. Washsngton, in a lecture before the students of the University of California last summer. while here said, that the Negro was judged by the standard of the American white man, and when he reached that stand- ard, be had reached the highest in the world!—which of course, would require the higher education, such as could not be obtained at Tuskegee. There ere only :two men of the Afro-Americon race who have ever reached that stand- ard and that is W.E. B. Dubois and Carter Goodwin Woodron. They have received the degree of Doctor of Pnil- ‘osophy from Harvard University. Why should colored parents wish their chil- dren to attend separate schools, when they pay taxes to support the public schools? I do not see why any colored person should desire to segregate them- selves, when they could enjoy thesame advantages offered other American citizens. It looks to me like some sel- fish motive on the part of some one to be benefitted by it, regardless of the wishes of people who ob?eot to an un- called for back-set. The separate school hes several ob- jectionable features about it. First, the acbommodations are always infe- ior to the mixed schools, and secondly, the colored teacher does not get that same obedience or respect shown the white teacher; again, the association and daily contact with white pupils And teachers, has -an influence which is ‘ofttimes beneficial to the colored child who is very apt to take pattern after, and form polite manners and pride, which perhaps could not be otherwise ‘obtained. You no doubt have heard ‘mothers threaten to go to that school house and do great bodily harm to that teacher, if she beat her ‘“‘chile.”” But ‘ot 80 When the white teacher wuipsit, “because she is used to getting whipped by white folks herself ‘down yonder.”’ “Let these aspiring colored teachers and ‘their friends, who prefer separate Schools to the mixed or public school go where: the law prohibits colored chil- ‘dren to. attend their public school, ‘where they are without a school of any ‘Mind, let these teachers and their lends go and establish a bureau or @tllecting agency for contributions to- yard a échoel which would be liberally ed.to by both races, meeting with 2 cess as well as honor. ~ he Columbus 8.

McMickens filled the pulpit at both services. In the morning he preached on the Sunday School lesson, Samuel, though a child was called a prophet which goes to show that children can be used for God's glory as well as grown-ups. No man can obey God unless he obeys his fellowman. While Eli was a good man he was one of the easy kind and did not correct his two sons who were sinful. Eli lost his life through the disobedience of his two sons. When the two sons first went to battle with the Philistines they went without a thought of God and were defeated. The second time they fought the Philistines they took to the battlefield the ark of the covenant. They thought God would be with them and they shouted for joy as they thought their victory was won. God is not a man to be thus used in the time of trouble only and he showed them by showing the Philistines to not only win the battle and kill the two sons but to capture the ark also from the Isralites. Samuel was morally strong and filled the office of a judge early in life. He was one of the greatest of the fifteen judges of Israel. Mrs. Pryor visited the Y. P. S. C. E. and stayed through the evening services. Gave a short talk on the topic and prayed. At the evening services Rev. McMickens preached his twelfth expository sermons from the 12th chapter of Hebrews. Space will not permit to go into details. Bro. J. C. Brown who has been ill for two or three weeks is still on the sick list and can be seen at the county hospital. On Monday evening, Feb. 22, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peyton, 1574 W. 20th St., a few of their friends met to surprise Mr. Peyton on his fiftieth birthday. The evening was spent in singing and a lovely dinner was served afterwards. The Silver Star Bible class will meet at the home of Mrs. A. E. Harris, 1514 W. 36th St. on Friday evening. Sunday Feb. 28 Rev: McMickens will occupy the pulpit at both services. Subject: Morning—The Victorious Leader. Evening—The 13th Expository sermon from Heb. 13. JUANITA BANSLEY,Chureh Reporter Tabernacle Baptist Church News The pastor, Rev. J. D. Gordon, preached in the morning to quite a large congregation from the tex I Peter, 3 chapter, and showed us some of the duties of wives toward their husbands; also as to our adorning ourselves; and to let our adorning be the hidden man of the heart in that which is not compatible even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit which is, in the sign of God, of great price. He said the Christian wives get their rights with love, and they were admonished to obey their husbands and they ought not try to raise them aver again but would rule them by love. He also said we should not let our wearing apparel be our God but we should dress up the hidden man of God first by putting on meekness, love and forgiveness and if we were tied by what we see, we must be broken away by some means. There were quite a few visitors out as usual. Among the known were Mrs. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Gaston, Tenn. The choir was at its best and furnished us with good singing at both services, especially at the evening services. We were also favored by a duet by the Bilbrew Bros. and Misses Turner and Marshman, which was very beautifully rendered. Rev. Ross from Victorvill, preached for us last Sunday evening a short but very interesting sermon. There was a sadness in our meeting on Monday night, caused by the sudden demise of Dr. McCoy, and prayers were offered in our prayer room for the bereaved family, and we are also in sympathy with our sister church and its members in the loss of their pastor. We were also sorry to hear of the taking away of Bro. Seagraves, who was at one time a member of our church: The pastor will preach on Sunday at both services: All friends and strangers are welcome. The church is soon to be supplied with new bibles, which we have been in need of for some time in the bible class especially. Sister Renny is at her home and continues to improve, but still unable to receive visitors. Providence Inst'lChurch Last Sunday Pastor Williams and Pastor Hawes of the Presbyterian Church exchanged pulpits. Providence members will ever remember the powerful sermon preached by Dr. Hawes. It was a spiritual treat. The pastor will preach next Sunday morning and evening. These will be a continuation of the series of sermons on the "Men of the Bible who have made good with God." Tuesday night's program by the Business Men for the Literary Society was a tremendous success. Special music Sunday night. Mrs. Carrie L. Moor Taylor, Los Angeles' pleasing Contralto will sing. Special music on the organ by Mrs. Alfred C. Williams. The Ever Ready Violet Club will entertain the Literary Society next Tuesday evening. The Missionary Society will meet after the morning services Sunday. The president Mrs. C. A. Spear Bass wishes to see all the members. Mt. Zion Baptist Church Great interest is now being manifested in the Sunday School. W. W. Gay, Superintendent, in his management of Sunday school affairs, maintains a harmonious advancement among the teachers and scholars even though much rivalry is being manifested among the classes for the banner. At the opening of Sunday's 11 o'clock service, the congregation was favored with a spiritually spiced duet by Misses Minnie and Carrie Albriton. The pastor, Dr. Hill, gave a charming treatise on the subject: "Exceeding greatness of His power, the exceeding riches of His grace." In this wonderful spiritual discourse, it was so clearly explained how the works of this divine far excel those of man and the supreme power in His divine greatness. At night the pastor preached his second sermon of the series of sermons of the "Prodigial Son," 14th chapter of Luke, from the 14th thru the 19th verse. In this instructive sermon, a few of the many valuable points that were made are: "Foolish spending brings poverty" — Figuratively, "EVERY ONE is without money when you get without money." "Never spend all." In fact, the wholesome advice so practically shown would mean much to those doomed by their ways to be "prodigial sons" to all who would hear and heed. Next Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service, Dr. Hill will take as a theme for his sermons on the "Prodigal Son." This will be the third sermon on the "Prodigal Son" preached bv Dr. Hill. As the past two sermons have been food for spiritual feast, many are expecting the best of the climax Sunday night. To be present, will give evidence to the expression of inspiration and favor to those who have heard his previous sermons Mr.' S. P. Johnson will address he parents' Association Sunday, Feb. 28th, at 3:30 p. m. The B. Y. P. U. Union met at this church last Sunday afternoon. A most interesting program was rendered. The Get Acquainted Literary Club will render a special program next Tuesday evening, 8 o'clock. There will be a prepared chorus by the society under the management of Miss Minnie Albriton. Besides other selections from the society. Prof. Manning, the noted bass singer, will render a bass solo; Prof. Carter will sing a solo and render a reading. Miss A. C. Harris, one of Los Angeles' star performers will render one of her best selections. It will be a treat to be present and witness this program; for other good talent not mentioned here, will render charming selections at this program. Look for the Mt. Zion news each week—don't miss getting a copy of the EAGLE—you will see what is doing in the present, past and future. C. A. BIGGERS, Church reporter [The following selection was recited by Mrs. Gertrude Thomas Hamilton at the Stockton A. M. M. Church, Feb. 14, and by special request was sent to the CALIFORNIA EAGLE] Is There No God? Go out beneath the arched heavens at night, and say if you can, "There is no God!" pronounce that awful blasphemy and the very stars above you will reproach the blackness of your intellect, and voices of the night will cry out in anguish and bewail your utter hopelessness and folly. Is there no God? Who, then unrolled the blue scroll, and, flashed upon its frontispiece the legible gleamings of immortality? Who fashioned this beautiful green earth with its perpetual rolling waters, and its broad expanse of fertile soils? Who settled yon huge mountains in their places, and commanded them to remain there? Who paved the skies with dark and angry clouds, and had the thunder to tear thru their mantles, and the lightning to illuminate them with myriads of flashes? "No God?" Who gave the eagle the strength of the strongest, and wisdom just where to go in the time of storm? Or, to the gentle dove, a tranquil abode amid forest green that echo to the music of her minstrelsy? Still no God? Behold! yon huge oak, that has withstood the blasts of winters, or Niagara's tremendous torrents, as they leap and dash, plunge and roar, over that dark and awful chasm, then rolling in majesty its broad sheet of waters onward to the ocean, all unite in proclaiming—"There is a God." Listen to the whispering breeze in the twilight; hark! to the raging of the storm, as the hurricane sweeps over the land, and the winds whistle and moan around our dwelling and die off in sullen murmurs on the plains; the skies o'er hung with a mantle of blackness are ever and anon illuminated by the lightning's glare. Nor is this great truth more solemnly impressed on our minds as in a beautiful summer day, for "what is rare, as a day in June, when Heaven lays her ear close to mother earth to see if she be in tune." When the roses quiver and blush on the bough, and the birds dance and tilt from tree to tree, and the sunbeams play at hide and seek across the green meadow, tis then you feel the warm blood rushing thru your veins and you feel it, is a privilege to live. Then "no God." Man, the proud lord of all this creation; He so marvolously and wonderfully made each tendon, each artery, each muscle, all performing their specific function with wonderful completeness, and above all possessing a soul, if he so wills it to live on and on in eternity with its Maker. "Still no God." There is a God, a Being infinite in mercy kind, tender and true; a fountain from which all blessings flow, your God and my God. "Then beware ye doubting, dis-believing throng, Whose sole ambition is to favor wrong: There is a God; remember while you can, His spirit will not always strive with man."

Dones Candidate for City Council FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM The real story of the life and times of the Negro Race will be told in this city in the near future under the title of "Fifty Years of Freedom." Over three hundred of our townspeople are in the production. All of our prominent ladies will stand as sponsors and be the active patronesses, enlisting the performers and will help to arouse this city to the true grandeur of the successful achievements of the colored people in fifty years, since the laws of this country bound the Race to servitude, and would not tolerate even the simples form of education for them. The great advance made will be presented in such a manner that the Negro will be proud of his Race. Proud of his achievement in the face of almost unsurmountable obstacles. There will be a meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. and the active patronesses of Fifty Years of Freedom at the Y. M. C. A., 829 South San Pedro street, every Tuesday at 2 p. m. to further the work in completing the lists of the three hundred characters who will take part in the great historical scenes which are soon to be given in our city. The scenes show the wonderful progress of the Colored race in fifty years—unparalleled in the history of any race. It will be given in the largest auditorium of this city. Secretary T. A.

Editor the Freeman: Being so much disgusted with the lethargy of your American Negro journalists' methods of silence, while the other opposing journalists of the world are crying down your race, that I have decided to say but very little more abutu you indolent lot. However, I beg permission to write about Negro hatred in this country—England. Yes, England, Ireland and Scotland. They are all polished abhorors of all darker races of men. There are very few Negroes who come to these countries and get out again without being sent to prison or penal servitude for very minor crimes. Joseph Small, a West Indian Negro, was indicted here under the contravention of the criminal amendment act. His crime was for interfering with a little ill reputed Scotch girl, age 14. She lived with him and never complained until after she was away from this Negro, who was apprehended, put in jail and kept for three months before the trial came off. At the trial it was proven and shown clear and conclusively that the girl was bad and that her parents were bad. Their lives were sordid, so was the girl's, but the charges against Small were found proven and the judges gave Small two years' imprisonment, and the judge said, he was sorry he was not charged under the statutory clause, for if he had been he would have no hesitation in sending him to penal servitude for ten years. I am not upholding this West Indian Negro in his crime, for he had been well warned about these poor white people's hatred to the race in this country, but he hated his own color.
