Sidney P.Dones in Outline of Platform Stands Firm for Justice
REV. R. H. WADE
AT OXNARD
In a little visit to Oxnard we were agreeably surprised to find so many of our people, especially women, so profitably employed, and in such healthy condition in body and mind. We found here Rev. R. H. Wade earnestly laboring with a flock of about 50 members of his denomination. Rev. Wade is laying a foundation which is one of the most promising in the state. For here at Oxnard he has the felicity of not only his own people, but likewise the better classes among the whites who are doing everything that is within their power to advance the work of the church.
Rev. and Mrs. Wade are pleas
antly housed in an easily reached section of the town. They have been hospitable in entertaining their friends. This is not a sly way of advertising for company for Madam Wade, however, for those of you who know her know that she is an energetic worker in church and home. We hope with Rev. Wade that the doors of industry will be opened with for our people at Oxnard in the near future, and that they likewise will avail themselves of the opportunity of entering. Oxnard has an ideal climate and a few thriving industries, among them a sugar factory, where some of our people are employed.
JOHN TOPHAM.
The return of John Topham to politics is one of the events of the present campaign destined to stimulate an interest in the councilmanic fight. Mr. Topham has served in the capacity of councilman under the old ward system, and has a host of friends who will employ every legitimate method to secure his election as a member of the next City Council. Especially is this true of his many Colored constituents, who in grateful remembrance of impartial treatment are bending every endeavor to make his selection a political certainly. Mr. Topham is by temperament and experience well qualified for his old position, and from now till the 4th of May will wage an active campaign.
EVAN LEWIS
Nothing could have been more gratifying from the political viewpoint of thousands of the old timers of Los Angeles, than the announcement that Evan Lewis, former City Assessor, had decided to run for the City Council. Mr. Lewis is well and favorably known by thousands of Colored citizens, who together with his other friends will exert every effort to land him in the City Council. A stalwart partisan, a faithful official, a valued friend, Mr. Lewis possesses the requisites to secure for himself one of the largest votes of any candidate for the position to which he aspires. An awakened public conscience is demanding efficient public officials, whose integrity stands unquestioned, and Mr. Lewis easily falls
within this class. His previous official career should serve as a sufficient guarantee of his fitness for office and his return to public life is regarded by those on the inside in political affairs as a question of but a few days. Vote for Evan Lewis for the City Council.
W. V. MARTIN.
Among the many things for which the present campaign will be noted is the advent of the young blood into political arena. Notably among the younger class of men appearing before the public seeking the suffrage of the people is W. V. Martin, familiarly known as "Bill." Mr. Martin is a young man of the most progressive type. He stands for the most advanced municipal and moral reforms, and has the courage of his convictions. Mr. Martin has announced himself as a candidate for the City Council and has opened headquarters at 309-10 Merchants Trust building. His campaign has started with vigor and judging from the substantial support with which he is attended, success in his maiden political effort will be achieved. It is of the utmost importance to the Colored voters of the city that broad, fearless, progressive men be elevated to public office and our contact with Mr. Martin leads to the belief that he is of the proper type. When the true characteristics of Mr. Martin become generally known we predict for him the support of the Colored voters of this city.
HANFORD ITEMS
Mrs. Mary Anderson, who is a member of the Eastern Star of Bakersfield, went to that city on last Saturday to attend the lodge turn-out Sunday. She is still in the city visiting friends.
Presiding Elder, S. W. Weller, passed through our city last Friday evening, stopping over night to visit his wife. He was on his way south to hold his quarters.

The Household of Ruth held a call meeting Monday evening to make final preparations for their dress regalia.
The Easter exercises of the A. M. E. Zion S. S. will be held next Sunday afternoon. Rev. J. B. Holmes, the pastor, will preach the annual Easter sermon in the morning at 11 o'clock. Sunrise prayer meeting will be held as usual.
A special sermon was preached by Rev. Holmes to young men on last Sunday night. During the services Mrs. M. Walker and son Roy sang a duet, "Saved by Grace." All of Rev. Holmes sermons are very impressive, and overflowing with gospel truth and light.

If I were to assemble the 30,000 Colored voters in this city and tell them that they were constantly electing men to office who not only discriminate against them, but who use their utmost endeavors to permanently deprive them of just representation in the city jobs, what do you think my hearers would do?

Respectfully yours,
ANNOUNCEMENT
EXTRAORDINARY!!!
The Great Pageant of "Fifty
Years of Freedom" for the
Benefit of Young Men's Christian
Association and the Old People's Home.
Will be given Tuesday, April 27th, by the most talented Colored artists of this city in the largest auditorium of this city. One of the great attractions of the performance will be the large orchestra of 20 pieces, composed entirely of our own Colored musicians, the Providence Symphony orchestra, led by Mr. H. F. Wheaton, director; pianist, Mrs. L. M. Williams; organist, Mrs. H. W. Markham, violins; Mrs. Bessie Williams-Dones, Miss Gwendolyn Baker, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Perry, Mr. J. Mitchell, Mr. Lomax, cornets, Mr. Daniels, Mr. Pitts; clarionets, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Jackson; saxaphones, Mr. Eggleston, Mr. Scott; euphonium, Mr. Crawford; trombone, Mr. Robinson; bass viols, Mr. Fields, Mr. Ed. Hawkins; drums, Mr. E. Y. Wheaton. The great audience room will make a splendid setting for our big orchestra. Last Wednesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. the first rehearsal of part of the orchestra was held to take up the choruses. Mr. Wheaton, director; Mrs. L. M. Williams, Mrs. H. W. Markham and others were present, and all are enthusiastic over the music.
NOTICE to all who have taken part in the choruses at rehearsals at any time, and others who will assist: Be present next Wednesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. rooms, San Pedro and 9th street, at 8 p. m., to rehearse with the entire orchestra.

Bratton and others under Chancellor Commanders are invited, also lady patronesses, who have been invited to assist in the preparation for the Great Pagant of Fifty Years of Freedom
We want 200 to 300 people enlisted and attending rehearsals regularly, as this great work is to be presented to the most prominent white people of this city, and the co-operation of their most prominent philanthropists and society people are to be enlisted. This we must do quickly now, so all be on hand for the rehearsals with the big orchestra. A finished production for the glory of the Colored race must be given April 27.
Prof. Henri Greer has been most faithful and cordial in attendance among the soloists.
Prof. Greer was invited to present an original production. He has composed one of the most cleverly arranged Negro characteristic, "A Sorrow Song Anthem," with solos, chorus and fugue arrangements, that has ever been produced by the Negro race. It will be the climax of the performance and make a great hit. The Colored race will be proud of this young composer of the race in their city. Any other, original work by local celebrities for the performance to show the great advancement of the Colored race in fifty years, the committee would be glad to hear from. Please get into communication with the chairman of the Entertainment Committee, Mrs. Sadie C. Cole, or telephone to her, South 958, or to Secretary F. T. Green of the Y. M. C. A., Main 5819.
Special Notice to Patronesses: We need your attendance next Wednesday evening at 7 to 8 p.m., before the rehearsals begin, if possible.

Stewart, Miss Beulah Ecton, Mr. G. C. Buchanan and others, is progressing well. They will present the Court Scene from "The Merchant of Venice." The quinette to lead the big chorus from

What could we do in Los Angeles county without a newspaper to tell us our side of it? Do you know that a newspaper is power? It mollas sentiment, and sentiment makes the law that governs you and me, either forgood or bad, they govern the country; it controls the elections and direct the choice of our executive, legislative and judiciary officers; for popular opinion is the instrument which the operations of our government are effected. So let us subscribe and pay for our own paper and make it a spoke in this great wheel that turns this government. I can say the newspaper life is not an easy one at all, as some people think. Some times you are called the head devil; some times you are charged with blackmailing. The New York Herald was the first newspaper in this country to be charged with blackmailing, but afterwards became a model for newspapers. So give your local paper a chance; you live in California and not in the East. So call up the agent of the Eagle phone Colo. 602 a.d. he will do the rest; No. 26 E. Colorado street.
From reading newspapers the question to ask is, what they can't do, and not what they can do. The newspapers have built California, and the Los Angeles Times is responsible for the population of Los Angeles; but if you want the news about your race you will have to subscribe for your own race journal. I believe the best way is to expose to the public your bad treatment and let them know your good deeds is to subscribe for the California Eagle, and if it don't meet your approval then stand by the Post and look for a New Age. They may not be as large as other papers but, in the language of Mr. John Wood of the New Age, give them a chance.
I had the pleasure of seeing a copy of the first issue of the New York World. It was abou the size of the Saturday Evening Post, but it was given a chance and look at it now. So some of our colored papers are like many of the rural maidens who appear to be unexceptionally innocent, but I will not pre tend to decide whether this appearance generally proceeds from private purity of heart, or from rustic simplicity and ignorance of the world; but all they ask of you is a chance.
What can a newspaper do? Did you read any of the testimonials in this paper of what some of the many readers had to say about the California Eagle in the last issue? If not, get one and read what they had to say.
Do you remember that in 1852 Harriet Beecher Stowe started a paper and called it Uncls Tom's Cabin, and that it aroused this country from Main to Caiifornia. It was all about the treatment of the Negro slaves in these United States, the southern part. Do you remember how
Lovejoy was killed in the street at Al'on, Illinois, because he was publishing a paper that told about the treatment of the Negro in the South? Do you remember the little afternoon paper in Atlanta, Ga., that published an article one afternoon that caused a riot between the whites and colored before 4 o'clock that night? Some people yet remember what laws were passed in the Southern States to persecute the Negro.
It Makes Some Dlifference Whose Ox is Gored.
Just two years ago when the separate school question was being agitated in Los Angeles by George Washington Sims, a gentleman then living in Los Angeles county, was at that time strongly opposed to separate schools, but has since changed his views and not his residence. We will admit that he is two years older than he was then, but we don't think that affected his mind any, but we believe that there is something else dead up the branch. Such a person makes a poor leader. Nobody can tell where to find such a person and they cannot be depended upon, but just as soon as we can learn to help others as well as ourselves. Then our race will demand the respect of the other races. Don't let us feel and believe we are the whole race ourselves. So let us sink out of self and work for the best interest of the whole race; be true and hope for the best, as hope is the anchor of the soul. He is wise that is honest. We have sunshine and rain, but we do not see it like Over and Payne.
School Teachers Not Wanted
From other States, We have enough of our own production in California. I say this for the benefit of Prof. Blackshare of the State Normal School of Texas who has written Superintendent Hyatt of the public schools of this State, requesting him to appoint 50 teachers of the colored schools of California to a national meeting of colored teachers to be held in Frisco some time during the fair. We have no such things as colored schools in California, and if we can
only keep the carpet baggers out it will be a long time before we will have any. But I suppose the Professor has heard about the assembly bill 299, and thinks he will land a few teachers by being on the ground. Many years ago the schools of Georgia furnished many teachers for Texas, and among some of the best known ones are Bishop J. B. Scott, Profs. Paul Spratling, Charley Luckey, Claud Cody, Edgar Penny, Prof. Rubin Livingood, now president of Sam Houston college, and Prof. Blackshear from Atlanta University. For many years Massachusetts lead in best schools, but the census gave it to Illinois and made California second in 1910. So you see that school teaching is "gone up." from what it was during the days of the carpet baggers. The State University of California is the largest of any State in the United States, and in 1913 the total appropriation was $3,404,419. We have free text books, a teachers' pension and any child in the State can go to that school. It is said that California, today, has the finest system of normal schools in the United States. And this is true not only as to the grounds and magnificent buildings but as to the courses of instruction. California has eight normal schools, and the door of hope stands open to every child in this great State. There are but few children coming from other States that come out here that can make the grade that they were in while they were in the East. Then tell me about segregation so some of the ex-school
S. B. Danbey, jr., has broken all records at our local high school for the colored students; he will complete a four-years' course in three. It is said that he is the first colored student to accomplish such a feat in the history of the school, he is a master of German. He has lived here about 14 years and is a son of Rev. and Mrs. S. B. Danby, who lives at 502 Worcester avenue, in this city.
Assemblyman G. W. Wyllie of Tulare county, had a bad acciden happen him Monday by an explosion of dynamite. The injury is so great that there is fear of him losing his sight. We much rather that assemblyman Scott would lose his sight for his segregation bill for Allensworth than to hear the sad news about Mr. Wyllie.
Rev. Durham, the pastor of the Tremont Baptist Church of this city, preached at the A. M. E. church Sunday morning, while Rev. G. W. Bussey will fill the pulpit at 7:30 p. m.

Among the resolutions adopted at the time of the death of the late Col. Allensworth, there was a clause petitioning the Negroes of the state to observe the day of his birth, April 7th, with appropriate exercises. As the day approaches the citizens of Allensworth desire to call the attention of their brethren throughout the state to the desirability of most fittingly paying tribute to one who wrought so well and accomplished so much. The deeds of the great and good men of a people ought to be memembered and their memory cherished. Nations prosper and progress to that extent in which they do honor to their illustrious leaders. It is to be hoped that throughout the state on April 7th appropriate ceremonies will be had commemorating the life and works of Col. Allensworth.
Under the auspices of the Allensworth Board of Trade, of which W. Oscar Wells is president, the citizens will assemble and observe Allensworth day. A program of music, eulogies and other splendid numbers is being prepared. Norvin E. Powell has entered upon his duties as postmaster. He has entered into a recently equipped building and by his gentlemanly bearing and courteous demeanor is winning the commendations of the public. His mother, Mrs. Emma Powell, is acting as his assistant.
The citizens, Sunday school and the Young People's Alliance, working jointly, have prepared what is believed will be the best Easter program ever rendered here and this is said advisedly, notwithstanding the many excellent offerings in the past. The citizens and friends await the services with much eagerness. Mrs. William Prince of Pasadena will arrive in Allensworth next Friday morning and will spend several weeks here, the guest of her daughter, Miss Margaret Prince.
Messrs. William Scott and Elmer Scott drove through to Lemon Cove last Friday, where they are now at work, completing a large acreage contract for O. O. Overr near that place. The job will be one of several weeks duration.
The pumps of the Allensworth Rural Water Company are being put into operation for the rapid distribution of water throughout the community. The Board is the recipient of many congratulations for the business-like way in which the business of the corporation is being handled. So sanguine are the members of the community of good harvests and plenty of water that additional tracts are being sown to alfalfa. The wheat crops are very good and the excellent returns of last year, it is thought, will be surpassed.
W. N. Towns is the proud possessor of an excellent young dairy herd. His pride in the same is all the more marked as it represents the products of the past four years: careful breeding and attention. In addition to his own acreage, he has leased other acreage and will make a good showing for his efforts of the year.
Miss Prince and Mr. Payne, who attended the California Teachers' Association, which convened in Fresno, made a brief report of their observations while away, at a public meeting Sunday. The reports were listened to with much interest.

And a more constructive Mayor's office.
What we want is a mature, broad-minded business man to advance the interests of this city and put us on a substantial business basis, so that capital may be attracted, factories induced to locate here, general building activity encouraged, and confidence and prosperity brought back to the community.
We indorse as our independent choice for Mayor, John S. Akerman, knowing him to be a man who measures up to the specifications outlined above. We trust that you will not only vote him at the primaries on March 23, but that you will work with us for the Akerman landslide.
San Diego is at the parting of the way. The question is—Shall San Diego grow or die?
Yours respectfully,
Independent Voters' League,
By Louis J. Wilde,
Chairman.

THE HOPE OF THE RACE.
If the Negroes of the United States ever amount to anything as a race, it must be by way of its women. Hence, it remains with the women to realize the responsibility that has been imposed upon them, and begin a crusade for the protection of womanhood.
Less Knocking and More Boostis What We Need.
As long as one dresses well and walks the streets, occupies a conspicuous place in some pew, either in a church or movie on Sundays, the public passes judgment from appearance and pronounces him or her O. K., but as soon as a young man or woman begins to think for himself and to aspire to the white's civilization, the kickers begin to work over time. How carelessly they handle the truth. But we preachers and newspaper people dare not condemn them in their great work of tearing down for if we do the ydemand our resignation from public activity. But whatever our end may be, we only know that we are trusting in one who rules with the rod of love, and we must work the works of Him who sent us until Los Angeels becomes a city of brotherly love and when prejudice of races will no longer be known, and when each man will do his part for race uplift and realize that therein all honor lies.
THE NEGRO GIRL VS.
THE WHITE 4
A few days ago while reading in the upblic library I noticed sitting opposite me a white girl, apparently about 16 or 17, for some reason my attention was attracted, probably by her heavily-laden alcoholic breath. I noticed that her eyes were swollen and her face bloated, and she could scarcely sit straight while she perused some theatrical literature which she soon abandoned and staggered out by the door. I then heard a slight rustling of skirts, a little tap. I looked up and before me sat a modest brown. Her eyes were bright, her countenance bright and before her was a stack of text books. She figured with a pencil. I just could not help being familiar, for I thought I knew the girl, and so I ventured, "You are a school girl, aren't you?" A bright smile and a sweet toned "Yes," which seemed to carry with it a touch of music, satisfied me that my pleasant intruder was none other than Miss Lorenza Jordan.
A FIGHT WITHOUT
Some of our best people have been deceived concerning the character of "Fifty Years of Freedom," a historical drama being rehearsed weekly at the Y. M. C. A., under the direction of Madam Pond Pope and Mrs. T. A. Cole.
Now, Mrs. Cole is a woman who has lived in this community long enough to establish her ster-
ling worth as a mother of one of the best families in the city, a tireless church worker and a woman who has always been found at her post in any crises of racial interest, which is sufficient proof that Mrs. Cole would not be caught closely allied with any movement that would have a tendency to hurt or mar the dignity of the race.
Mrs. Pope, the author of the production, is truly a new comer, but those of us who have tried to keep in close touch with current literature, etc., especially that which effects the interest of our people know of her work in other cities along this same line. Mrs. Pope is not a modern politician, grafting at the expense of the people, but a representative of that type that corresponds with the Wendell Phillips class, who believes that a man is a man regardless of race or color or previous conditions if he possesses those qualities that go to make up a man.
"Fifty Years of Freedom" as it is being rehearsed is strictly historical, beginning with the period of slavery, passing along through the anti-slavery days, plunging into the Civil war, picturing the Negro's part in the reconstruction period and showing the marvelous progress made within the past 52 years. We had heard much, but after our first visit to a rehearsal this was our impression.
A THRIVING NEGRO
SETTLF
In Los Angeles, where there is a floating population of nearly 30,000 Negroes, and where the housing conditions are better than they are in any Eastern city of any size, it seems possible that greater strides in the establishment of bigger and better business enterprises might be made. There seems to be among us a tendency to tear down instead of build up.
A fe wyears ago Philip A. Payton went over from Connecticut to New York City to live. Mr. Payton had been reared in New England where prejudice among the races was not so strong. On coming to New York he found that it was impossible for Negroes to find houses in none other except the most delapidated section. Immediately he began to dream of a work he was to do for his people. He started a real estate business, bought three tenements in a clean, healthy locality, in which he housed Negro families.
A Fight From Both Sides. As soon as word had gone forth concerning Payton and his syndicates intention of housing Negroes in that section the whites grew hostile and the Blacks began their fight against locality segregation. But young Payton and his co-workers did not become discouraged. A white syndicate bought back the three tenements owned by Payton, thinking that the Negroes could be driven out through this medium. But the Negro was not asleep. He granted their request and received a goodly sum for the property. Then his own people began to fight him from a standpoint of graft. But Payton with his partner, J. C. Thomas, converted the money into three other larger and better tenements and evicted the whites. And today in the heart of Northern New York City, better known as Harlem, there is a Negro settlement, surpassed by none other in the country. The December, 1914, number of the Outlook mentions as some of the most successful men and firms of this section, Mr. George W. Harris, a Negro, who worked his way through Harvard University. Mr. Harris is editor of "The News," a paper whose staff of 12 men are all Colored. In this community there are 20 physicians, graduates of the best Universities in the country; 15 lawyers, also products of the best schools of this country and England; eight dentists, four registered pharmacists, who conduct large drug stores in the district, and 25 registered trained nurses.
In the business world the community possesses Negro real estate firms which enjoy the confidence of some of the largest and most conservative financial institutions in the city. One real estate firm, possibly the best example, known as "Nail & Parker," has charge of the property of St. Philip church, which is valued at well over a million dollars; manage 75 or 80 parcels of real estate, collect over $35,000 a month in rent. In the district, including St. Philips, there are nine churches.
There has been no definite estimate upon which to base the per capita tax of this community or
with Mrs. Frank Alexander, chief of the Program Committee, make an effort to secure some of the best literary talent of the city for each week. Last Tuesday evening, Mrs. C. A. Spear Bass spoke inspiringly upon the subject, "Better Health for Negroes."
ADMIRES PROGRESS OF RACE.
Mr. M. H. Hellman, who is president of the Hellman Commercial Trust and Savings Bank, also vice president of the Merchants National Bank of Los Angeles, is one of the strong admirers of the progress of the Colored people of this city. The institution of which he is the head employs them and personally he gives to them employment and encourages their thrift and enterprise.

of the entire wealth of the Negroes of New York City, but from our brief examination of this particular section we should say at the least calculation more than a million dollars. If the Negroes of New York City can accomplish so much within the radius of a few years where the greater part of the year is cold and stormy, and where foreign labor furnishes greater competition, what might the Negroes of Los Angeles do with concentrated efforts?

INDEPENDENT VOTERS'
Louis J. Wilde, Chairman D. L. Sternberger, Secretary Headquarters, 1025 Second St. Main 900, Home 3629 Which Do You Want? Peace, Harmony, Construction
Discord, Agitation, Destruction.
San Diego, Cal., March 30, 1915
San Diego, Cal.
Dear Citizen: There is only one issue before the people of San Diego. San Diego needs peace, harmony and construction. This League aims at the defeat of any element which means discord, agitation and destruction. It is not at the present moment a question of personal preferences among the candidates. Every business man, every taxpayer, and every loyal citizen of San Diego must bury every consideration except the achievement of peace, harmony and a constructive policy for civic development and the restoration of confidence and optimism in every phase of our municipal life. If ever there was a time for all elements of the community to get together for mutual support and the encouragement of a live-and-let-live policy, that time is now.
For these reasons the Independent Voters' League urges all citizens to support D. K. Adams for election as member of the City Council. Mr. Adams will not obstruct any policy looking to the development of all interests and efforts which redound to the city as a whole, he has shown himself to be a constructive city servant. Opposed to him we have Horace Aughe, UNFITTED, who represents to the limit that spirit of agitation, discord, and clamor characteristic of the demagogue. Therefore the Independent Voters' League strongly advises the election of D. K. Adams, rather than that of a candidate whose attitude toward the business interests of the city is one of destructive criticism and animosity. This is not the time, voters, for San Diego to indulge in damaging experimental efforts for the political advancement of disgruntled "soldiers of fortune."
Yours truly. Independent Voters' League.
By Louis J. Wilde, Chairman.
What U. S. Grant, Jr., Says.
Mr. Louis J. Wilde, Chairman:
In announcing what your vote was to be, you chanced to announce exactly what mine will be
—Akerman, Adams, Fay. Don Stewart, Woolman, all of whom are experienced business men and have my entire confidence. If the best men win, I think I have picked them.
U. S. GRANT, JR.
ADMIRATION Mr. P. M. Ramsey Receives Many Congratulations from Prominent White Women's Clubs. Mr. P. M. Ramsey, caterer at the Southern California building, has earned the name of Dainty Pearl, by his dainty method of serving the many different prominent Women's Clubs that meet in the Blue room of the California building.
Often ladies are disappointed, after thinking that women prepare the tea, etc., when told that Mr. Ramsey is the only one that prepares. Just lately he served Vice President Marshall and party, also a number of other distinguished people. His courteousness and politeness has won him many offers of positions at the expiration of the Fair.
When asked by one of the ladies, "By whom were you taught the art of service?" Mr. Ramsey just smiled and said, "By my wife," and then continued making more tea and serving.
San Diego Locals.
Watch for the Easter ball Monday night. The committee in charge has arranged a special program.
The season's sensation will be the Extravaganza Dansant and Mardi Gras to be held in the near future.
Two charming young ladies who hold positions at the Exposition grounds will leave Saturday for Los Angeles to spend Easter.
The Hornet baseball teams were (skunked) excuse the expression, but that is what we would call it. During the entire nine innings the Hornets failed to put a man on first base, so that is why we say skunked.
Colored tourists are arriving daily to the Exposition and many express a desire to main in Sunny California.
Mr. Geo. A. Ramsey will make a quick run to Los Angeles next week on business.
The Colored people employed at various things at the Exposition have made a great name for themselves. Their work has been right up to the mark since the opening of the beautiful Exposition.
Many railroad boys are in our city, arriving on private cars.
Watch and wait for the Exposition Extravaganza Dansant.
POLITICAL FLASHES
SAN DIEGO.
As the time draws near, candidates are getting worried.
We are out to re-elect D. K. Adams. He has made good and is familiar with the city and county, so why take a chance on a new man at this time?
Dr. Louise Hielbon, candidate for Board of Education, will receive the support of all classes.
Major Herbert Fay, incumbent candidate for Council, will lead the ticket April 6.
John Akerman will again sweep the city. Mr. Akerman is the only logical man for mayor of San Diego.
Don Stewart, incumbent candidate for treasurer, has a walk away in his race for re-election. We predict for him the largest majority ever given a candidate. Mr. Claude Woolman did and will again receive the largest majority for member of Board of Education. Now is the time for all men and women to come to the aid of their party. This ticket has been indorsed by The California Eagle: For Mayor—John S. Akerman. For Council—D. K. Adams, H. R. Fay.
For Board of Education—Dr. Hielbron and C. Woolman.
For City Treasurer—Don Stewart.
For competency and efficiency.
We want everybody that has a vote to cast it April 6. If you are unable to walk to your precinct, leave message at 746 Third street or see Geo. A. Ramsey.
"Ladies, you now have a vote. Take advantage of it. Vote the ticket. Logical candidates, that help us, are the ones indorsed by this paper.
A vote for Akerman, Adams, Fay, mean prosperity to ALL. Don't be fooled by others.
Major Herbert R. Fay should receive the entire Colored vote. He has always been a friend to us and helped us in various things. The Major keeps a number of Colored men employed at all times and shows no partiality in his department. Again we must make mention that Dr. Louise Hielbron is The Eagleichoice, and it is now up to us to see that she is elected. So, all together, Dr. Heilbron must win.
TO THE ELECTORS OF THE
CITY OF SAN DIEGO.
Fellow Citizens: After a residence among you of some twenty-seven years, I am seeking the highest and most honorable position it is in your power to give; and offering in return the best service my physical and mental talents can develop.
To those with whom I have worked for the upbuilding of this vigorous city of ours I am confident my promise to give my best efforts will be immediately understood and believed.
To those new comers whose acquaintance I have not yet had the pleasure of making, I would respectfully say, thoroughly investigate my record and if as a result you believe I am the best fitted man for the position support me with your vote at the primaries.
Most sincerely do I thank the many friends who by word of mouth and letter, so soon as my

ward and offered assistance.
I have been requested to organize a large and influential campaign committee, but have decided to place my nomination in the hands of the voters, in whose judgment I have the utmost confidence.
Friends have asked an expression of my policies. To one and all I will say, if elected I promise to use the power bestowed on the chief executive, in welding together all organizations seeking the upbuilding of our city and the

revenue. Completion of this work must be rushed. Delays are dangerous and costly. Every effort must be made to completely equip our wharf, with the most modern, effective and economical machinery for the handling of the vast amount of freight to be unloaded for distribution throughout the country tributary to our city, and for the loading of the products going to various parts of the world from this "the first port of call in the great Southwest." Franchises sought should be carefully investigated; but, when granted, faithfully adhere to, so long as the recipient lifts up to his part of the contract. The rights of "the few" should be carefully guarded, and we for the benefit of "the many" the rights are jeopardized, or a ship worked upon them, they should be recompensed. The "pest house" should be literated from our vocabula and an isolation hospital equ
Merchants, transportation companies and others opening up trade between South America, Europe and Asia, and cities in this great Southwest must be made to feel that this community through its officials, will aid and encourage them in every possible way. Large and small manufacturing concerns must be given all the encouragement and help it is possible for a city to give. Individuals and organizations developing water throughout our county must be made to feel that they can rely on our support and help. Capital and labor must understand clearly that neither can get along without the other, and that only by co-operation can either profit.
I would encourage employment by the city (nd all employers of labor) of our own citizens and residents whenever suitable persons can be found here.

the colored voters of San Diego
or Mayor at the general election
Franchises sought should be carefully investigated; but, when once granted, faithfully adhered to, so long as the recipient lives up to his part of the contract.
The rights of "the few" should be carefully guarded, and when for the benefit of "the many" their rights are jeopardized, or a hardship worked upon them, they should be recompensed.
The "pest house" should be obliterated from our vocabulary, and an isolation hospital, equipped with every modern convenience and comfort erected, wherein those unfortunate enough to contract a contageous disease will be most carefully attended.
If elected, I promise a "square deal" to the laboring man, the merchant, the taxpayer, the corporation, and each and every organization or individual working on legitimate lines to upbuild, develop and beautify our city. Co-operation there must be among the various branches of the city government; jealousies and petty strife must not be tolerated. In conclusion I would say, if elected I am going to ask the City Council to assist me in making San Diego, if not the best, one of the best and most economically governed cities on the Coast. Yours respectfully, John S. Akerman,

TABERNACLE BAPTIST
CHURCH NEWS
The weather last Sunday kept a good many at home and yet we had a nice congregation at the Sunday school, also the other services of the day.
The pastor filled the pulpit at both services. His subject at 11 o'clock was from 1 Peter 5:7, "He careth for you." And he brought out many beautiful points in which he advised us to cast all our cares on Him who careth for us, but we must first learn how to do so.
We are looking forward to our Easter exercises, which will take place Sunday.
After Easter we expect to have prayer services before and after Bible study. All the unsaved are invited.
The sick are convalescent. Sister Blakely on Tarlton street is still confined to bed. Mrs. Rosa Wooten entertained a party of eight at dinner last Monday evening and all report having enjoyed themselves. The Christian Aid Society of this church will hold its regular meeting on Thursday evening next. All members are invited to attend, immediately after the Bible class.
OBITUARY OF
MRS. NARCISSA RAMSEY On last Saturday. March 27. God called from labor to reward Mrs. Narcissa Ramsey. She was taken ill on the night of March 23 and continued to grow weaker until the end came.
Mrs. Ramsey was born in Georgia, Dec. 25, 1864, was the wife of Bennie Ramsey until he mysteriously disappeared about two years ago. She, had one daughter, Hattie Bell, one sister now living in Santa Barbara, Mrs. Annie Hill, and three sisters in Georgia. She has an aunt, several cousins and many friends. She was one of the sweet characters that played well the part of mother to all with whom she came in contact. And especially was she a mother to the little Snell boys whose mother has long ago preceded her to the Glory Land. She will be greatly missed in the community in which she has lived for more than ten nyears, and in the church of her choice also. Her funeral took place on Monday, at 1 o'clock at the Apostolic Mission on Santa Fe. Rev. Driver officiated. The funeral was in charge of A. J. Roberts & Son. Interment at Evergreen cemetery.
Elbert L. Leland was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 1849, died March 27, 1915, aged 66 years. About 35 years ago he was converted and joined Thompkins' chapel in Chattanooga, Tenn. Later coming to Los Angeles in 1889 and a year or so later faithfully helped to establish the present A. M. E. Z. church, where he has lived an earnest Christian and made an earnest and hard worker for the cause of Christ. He leaves to mourn his loss, a wife, four daughters, a son and a sister, and the members of this church and a host of friends.

Resolutions of Respect.
WHEREAS, The hand of Divine Providence has seen fit to remove our beloved brother Leland from the scene of his temporal labors, to his reward, after having served the church for a number of years as trustee and steward; and
WAEREAS, Brother Leland was the originator and promoter of our present beloved Zion, and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the cause; therefore, be it
RESOLVED. That it is but a just tribute to the memory of our departe brother and friend, to say that we, the members os the A. M. E. Zion church, do most sincerely mourn the loss of our translated brother. And in regretting his removal from our midst we mourn for one who was, in every way, worthy of our love and respect; but we find consolation in the belief that it is wel with his soul.
Truly a father in Israel has falen and we do most sincerely condole with the family of the deceased, and co mend them for consolation to Him who orders all things for the best.
Servant of God, well done;
Thy glorious warfare past.
The battles fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last,
Redeemed from earth and pain.
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus' presence reign
With our translated friend?

The Negro is the friend of capitalists. The race has always been with the people of wealth and will no doubt always be with them, not out of sentimentality, but because our salvation and protection are more safe in their hands, but it is hard to convince capitalists of the fact. They either do not understand our attitude toward them, or to say the least, do not appreciate it, except when their person or property is in danger, then they fall back on the Negro for help If capital could be made to see our loyalty to their interest, they would open more doors for our boys and girls in the time of peace in order that the Negro could better protect them in the time of war. The Negro finds but few friends with the middle class, as they do not have money to organize and promote great enterprises or build factories or construct railroads and street car systems, which are a benefit to the public and the poor especially, as these utility corporations furnish him cheap and rapid transportation to the suberbs, where the poor can buy property reasonable and watch it grow in value and convenience because of the advantages of a good street car system. The tramway has done more for Denver's prosperity than perhaps any other agency in the city of Denver. The Negro's only plea is that the corporations shall remember that the colored brother is a friend and not a foe and that they ought to be suitably rewarded for their services and loyalty to their interests.—Colorado Statesman.

PAINTINGS OF CHRIST.
Sinaa Art Works
By William E. Curtis.
In the Record-Herald of May
24th. Wikilea.
That a party of gentlemen in Cleveland, Ohio, who were interested in Art were discussing the various conceptions of the Savior by different artists, and after contributing the necessary capital, employed a certain number of artists to paint portraits of the Savior, each expressing, without instruction, his own idea of how Christ must have appeared at his maturity.
The results of this experiment are now on exhibition in the rooms of the American Art Company at 45 West 45th Street. These pictures must all be paid for at the Artists pro. Mr. Henk, C. Osborn is president of the Company, and Jetha H. Wade Jr., secretary and treasurer.

For the first time in the history of the Pullman company recognition was given to the deserving men who have served so faithfully in the capacity of porters when at a conference in the Pullman offices at the Pennsylvania Terminal, New York, on Monday, March 15, between representatives of the company and of the porters, an organization was formed which will proceed for the payment of a sum approximately $500 to the family of each Negro employee of the Pullman company.
The organization is to be known as the Pullman Porters Benefit Association, embracing the entire country, which is divided into seven zones or divisions. Each zone will have its own administrative offices, but the general control is to be vested in a general committee of seven members, who shall be porters, and elected to serve two years. On the death of a member an assessment of 50 cents is levied upon each surviving member, and when the total amount collected is ascertained by the treasurer, a formal notice of amount collected is filed with the general superintendent of the Pullamn company, and a subscription will be made by the company, which it is said will equal 5 per cent of the amount collected.
At the meeting on Monday, J. T. Ransom, division superintendent of the Pullman company, Philadelphia, presided, and Doctor Kenneday, chief clerk of the Pullman company at Philadelphia, acted as secretary. Other representatives of the Pullman company present were: A. J. Grant, division superintendent, Pennsylvania Terminal, New York; E. F. Hilton, district superintendent, Pittsburgh; T. E. Winsey, district superintendent, Washington, D. C.
The representatives of the porters were: H. L. Curtis of New York, from the Jersey City (Southern); N. A. Jefferson of New York, Field Johnson of West Philadelphia, and J. C. Beckett of Washington, from Pennsylvania Terminal; T. M. Blanton of Philadelphia; W. M. Easle of Union-town, Pa., from Pittsburgh; J. E. Boone of Washington, from Washington and Baltimore.
It was due largely to the influence of Division Superintendent A.J. Grant that the Pullman company has given this splendid recognition to the worth of its Colored employes, and it was the active work of T. M. Blanton of Philadelphia, who is also general agent for the Pullman Forters' Review, a magazine published in Chicago, that the porters were
aroused to work.
aroused to work. The present organization will take the place formerly held by the Railroad Porters' and Waiters' Voluntary Subscription Fund an organization which was maintained and financed by the porters themselves, and which has done a commendable work since its organization in 1906.
The new organization, the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association, covers all the territory in which the Pullman company operates, the seven zones being the Association of the East which includes New York and New Jersey, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Pittsburgh, the Association of the Northeast, Association of the Southwest, Association of Chicago, East Association of Chicago West, and Association of the Pacific.
The officers of the Association for the Eastern zone are: H. L. Curtis, chairman; J. M. Brown, Jersey City, secretary; Forrest Hayes, Jersey City, treasurer; district agents—Gen. Henry Forrest, Pennsylvania Terminal; John Bates, Jersey City (Southern), Howard August, Philadelphia; E. A. Ridgeley, Washington; S. M. Slaughter, Pittsburg; James Merrick, Baltimore.—New York Age.

An Appeal to the Stockholders of the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company for Immediate Action, by its Board of Directors. You are hereby notified that the machinery bought by this Corporation, for milling the vast quantity of mineral ores on their claims, covering an area of two hundred and sixty acres, in the center of the mineral zone, Eldorado Canyon, Clark County, State of Nevada, was shipped December, 1914. Other shipments followed, consisting of a car of lumber, cement, corrugated iron, and hardware, comprising several carloads in all. These materials were to be used in the constructing of buildings, to cover the machinery; also ore-bins, to store ores before milling, and the concentrates or values after milling.
The foundation for the mill-site, ore bins, etc., had been cut through an elevation of solid rock thirty-six feet high, during the month of last November. In January our engineer made an inspection of the machinery, and discovered that the original foundation was not half large enough for the accommodation of the mill-plant, and also that as much more material would be required for the buildings.
Some of the frame work and ore-bins have been completed already, and timbers that were on hand cut and put in shape. The superintendent has sent an order to this office for another car of lumber, and also a car of hardware material. These two shipments of material will be sufficient for the completion of the entire plant, and forthwith the mill will be put into operation, which fact will be very gratifying to all stockholders.
To comply with this urgent demand, the board of directors has authorized a dispensation for a short period only, during which time the $2 shares of stock can be bought at $1 a share. You are requested to come to the assistance of the board without delay, so that the construction of buildings and the installing of machinery may be completed while the force of men is on the job. If you can pay up your contracts in full, then in justice to your own interest and company do so; but if not, then pay what you can afford. Those who have already closed their contracts should strain a point and put in more money, as by so doing they will draw dividends earlier. Persons who are not stockholders may also take advantage of the dispensation price if they so desire.
The company offers to you a legitimate proposition, one that stands exclusively upon its merits, and means more as a profitable investment than any thing you have heretofore put your money into. Beware of advice given by persons who don't take time to investigate, to know whereof they speak. Do your duty, and they will soon realize the error of their way, and you will go on record as among the promoters of a great enterprise. Notice the newspapers—especially the "California Eagle" and "New Age" of the fourth week of March—and see what the big manufacturing concerns think of our company.

Continued from page 1 of the large corporations has fitted him in a thorough manner for the service which will be demanded of our Councilmen during the term to come. In announcing his candidacy, Mr. Williams said: "There are at the present time five Councilmen by the name of Williams, and the voters must be careful in voting that they watch the initials.
"My position on the question of eliminating grade crossings, is that the city must take a firm stand, looking to their ultimate elimination, but a sane and reasonable course must be pursued in this work, and proper protection must be given to the public at all dangerous crossings in such form as may be prescribed by the board of public utilities.
"The time has come when I believe the city must, if necessary, take drastic steps to properly solve the all important problem of traffic congestion, which has such an enormous bearing upon the development of the business portion of our city, and providing for rapid transit from the residential and suburban points to the heart of the business district.

"I believe and shall work for the early taking over by the municipality of the private water companies now in existence, so as to bring about the distribution of aqueduct water over such area as is properly entitled to it, and the handling of the entire water and power question so as to return to the city the proper income upon its investment.
"I am in favor of the annexation of such territory in the San Fernando valley as has already been agreed upon, and which will enable us to put into operation the San Francisquito power plant,
"I believe in having one telephone system or else a system of interchange calls that will relieve the people of the present financial burden and inconvenience of double telephones.
"I am in favor of the fullest possible development of the Los Angeles harbor.
"I believe in the double platoon system for the fire department; in doing away with special district assessments for general improvements; in city and county consolidation.
"I shall stand for a business administration and for the highest efficiency in the various city departments."
