Sidney P. Dones Merits Your Support---Has Made Good Volume 28 MICHAEL M. FERNANDEZ 425 Consolidated Realty Bldg. Main 2562, for Councilman. Primary May 4. Election June 1 Personally addressed to the Voters of the City of Los Angeles In response to numerous inquiries on specific problems now before the voters of Los Angeles, I herewith submit the following. While it is impossible to anticipate all the situations that will confront the new council, I am ready to state my views on present questions. I would rather be defeated than elected under false pretenses, therefore, I shall take a definite stand on all questions with which I am familiar. No man has a right to take such a stand on any important public matter until after due investigation and deliberation. Without any desire to appear egotistical, I may state that I was born in this city thirty-eight years ago: that my family, my friends, my property and my future, all are here. I have made good in my own business affairs and also the affairs of others who, for many years have been my clients. What I Stand For. My highest ambition is to make good for the city, and my conception of making good is to get effective results to municipal affairs and the greatest benefits for the largest number of people. I may state that I am entering this campaign on my own resources, without promises or entanglements of any kind, and that my chief support consists of those loyal friends who know me best. I hope with their assistance, to enlist in my behalf enough efficiency-loving citizens to elect me. Sell Aqueduct Water. Since the city has decided for the municipal ownership of the water system it becomes necessary, if we are to make it pay its way, to manage the company in which we are all of us stockholders, in precisely the same way as any successful private concern would conduct it. Rapid Transit. With the congested condition of traffic on our principal streets the transportation problem becomes of paramount importance. The city will grow more rapidly in the next ten years than it has in the last twenty. Let us provide adequately for the future. The only feasible solution of this problem seems to be that of subway rapid transit. Harbor Needs. I am in favor of the speedy completion of the harbor and for regulations that will attract business instead of driving it away. For years steamers have been going past our harbor without stopping, while we had to ship to San Diego or San Francisco, cargoes that properly should have been loaded at our own docks, because the regulations imposed have made it prohibitive for them to stop except for large shipments. Consolidation Consolidation. Eliminate red tape in all city business and make transactions with the various departments easier and more pleasant. Red tape at best is costly and in every other way most unsatisfactory. Practical economy in the administration of the city's business can be initiated by the consolidation of the taxation systems of the city and county. Why pay taxes in two places? It is an axiom of all successful private business enterprises, to reduce and keep down overhead expense. Apply this principle to public business. The elimination of surplus elections will save thousands of dollars annually that are needed for permanent improvements. New Legislation. An adequate charter for the city is so obviously necessary that no question should be raised. The framers of the charter should, and no doubt will, provide one that will prove impregnable and lasting No Vague Promises. In conclusion, I most heartily invite anyone desirous of ascertaining my stand on any subject, to address me personally and feel assured of a courteous response, for I do not wish to straddle any question. Assuring you of my best efforts and hearty co-operation to obtain tangible, beneficent results for the city, I am, Yours very truly, Michael M. Fernandez. O .O. Farmer for Councilman 1st: I am in favor of distribution and sale of aqueduct water in such a manner that it will be of the greatest benefit to the city of Los Angeles and the surrounding territory and will bring a revenue to the city in the shortest possible time. 2nd: I am in favor of municipal ownership of utilities. 3rd: I am in favor of completing the aqueduct power plant at the earliest possible date and distributing the power direct to the consumers over a distributing system owned and operated by the city of Los Angeles. 4th: I am in favor of making a comprehensive study of the traffic conditions in the business sections of the city in order to see what is best to be done to relieve the same, and to act accordingly. 5th: Am in favor of a single telephone system handling all phone business of the city. 6th: I am not in favor of making special assessments under the system that they are now being made. 7th: Am in favor of a new city charter 8th: Am in favor of consolidation of city and county govern-ments in order to reduce the operating expenses and saving money for the tax payers, both in the city and county. 9th: Have had fourteen years experience in various kinds of public work, including installation of subway systems and street and road work improvements of all kinds. Think I am well fitted for the position of Councilman, and will assist in passing ordinances and laws for the good of the people as a whole. FREDERICK C. LANGDON. Dr. F. C. Langdon, who for the past years has been a member of the city council, has announced his candidacy for re-election. Dr Langdon has in every way proven worthy and efficient and those seeking good men for office will do well to select this worthy official. The Colored voters especially feel that in Dr. Langdon they have an official who in any crisis can be depended upon. Vote to re-elect Dr. Langdon. E. D. WOOLMAN FOR THE COUNCIL Prominent among the leaders for councililman honors is Mr. E. D. Woolman, who resides at 329 W. 61st street. Mr. Woolman has been a resident of Los An- Los Angeles, Cal., APRIL 17, 1915 geles 10 years. He has been in the merchandise business on Spring street and in the realty business on Moneta avenue. He has the support of the voters in his section and from the common everyday people throughout the city he stands for the masses and it is this sort of men who we can well give our support to. Mr. Woolman is on the clean sweep ticket and it is well known that to gain a place on this ticket he stands for all of the things that go to make our city second to none in which to live. We urge for him a strong support. W. A. ROBERTS. Councilman W. A. Roberts who for the past 12 months has filled the office so acceptably, has announced his candidacy for reelection. Mr. Roberts is a typical American with the most advanced ideals pertaining to municipal reforms and should be returned. Mr. Roberts was appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Councilman McKenzie, recently deceased and has filled the position with credit to all concerned. Keep him on the job. WALTER MALLARD Mr. Walter Mallard, who for the past eight years has been the city assessor of Los Angeles, has announced his intention to stand for re-election. As an efficient, faithful public servant, Mr. Mallard's career is without a parallel. No official ever serving the city has been more conscientious in the performance of his duty. If honesty of purpose and efficient service count for anything, Mr. Mallard's re-election is one of the certainties of the present important city campaign. The many Colored friends of Mr. Mallard will remain loyal to him in the present crisis and it is to be hoped that all citizens regardless of politics or party may make it a part of their campaign efforts to acquaint those unacquainted with the career of this valuable public official to the end that his re-election may be assured. Work and boost for the re-election of Walter Mallard. S. H. RIGBY. It is with a deal of satisfaction that The Eagle is permitted to announce the candidacy of such sterling characters as S. H. Rigby for the City Council. Mr. Rigby has been closely identified with the interests of the city for more than 30 years, having been actively engaged in business for the past 24 years. He is thoroughly alive to the interest and improvements of a city of this class and can be depended upon to guard well the interests of all the people. If reliable, capable and aggressive men are desired, vote for S. H. Rigby. BILL ANGELENO ON THE JOB. Sacramento, California. the Senate and the Asare now on the homeit having been tacility that the Legislature ad- journ sometime between the 24th and May 1st. With such a large amount of unfinished business, and the impeachment proceedings of Judge Childs of Del Norte county, I do not see now how this early adjournment can transpire. It is program that immediately upon the return of the Legislators to their respective homes, the members of the Legislature who so vigorously opposed the nonpartisan idea will begin a campaign for its repeal. It is very generally believed here that the thirty-five or forty thousand Negro votes of this state will nearly be a unit in favor of Republican party lines, and consequently, will both sign the referendum and vote the recall. It is also understood that it will be the young Republican stalwarts who will be at the head of the movement on lines of party re-organization, as it is argued the people will not stand for the "old Republican wah horses," whose rough house manipulations have finally landed the Grand Old Party in the scrapheap. The presumption is that Assemblyman Charles W. Lyon, by far the ablest all around tactician of his party on the floor of the House, will be chairman & the Republican State Committee that will handle the fight on the non-partison measures. His distinguished brother, Senator H. H. Lyon, who is the recognized leader of labor in the Senate, and I say leader circumspectly, for unlike other professed friends of labor, he is not forever speech making, but he is rather a tremendous doer of things favorable to the proletariat, it is said will espouse the non-partisan cause. Already members of the race, among them Mr. Louis W. Gwyn, formerly of Los Angeles, have called on Assemblyman Lyon and pledged personal service to him, and there is no question in my opinion. Lyon would accomplish more toward unifying his party sentiment in this state than any choice his party could make. But with four years of progressive legislation confronting the people, which has made for a more direct control by and for the people of all the affairs of the state it will not only take "young blood" and great vigor, but it will have to be a campaign of education. Mere sentiment will not win, the appeal must be to the reason of the voters, and only the very best of reasons will satisfy the great majority of the state, that cast last year a non-partisan vote, for three great state offices and a majority of their representatives in both houses of the Legislature, that it is an outrage to their feeling to validate the non-partisan idea, to incorporate that idea as a part of the statutes of this state. BILL: ANGELENO. BILL ANGELENO ON THE ISSUES AS THEY HAVE TAKEN PLACE AT SACRAMENTO, CALIF. (Delaved letter) The public already know the non-partisan bill passed the house by a vote of 48 to 31, it now goes to the Senate, where a like fate awaits. Then will come the referendum, the petition which will call for 46,335 signatures. The aftermath of the combat for this bill is crowded with some very amusing and interesting incidents. The day after the mighty fracas in the House, when Assemblyman C. W. Lyon, a stalwart young Republican, arose to address the Assembly, he did so thus wise: "Fellow legislators and non-partisans." The body was moved to great merriment, and it was a few moments before he could proceed. Many of us are reminded of the story of "Japhet in Search of His Father," he wandered miserably for a long while, but at last he located his parent. The following day, I also had my experience. I questioned Mr., Vincent Gelsoich, erstwhile secretary of the L. A. Progressive county committee, thusly: "What party do you belong to now?" Readily and with some wonder expressed on his countenance, he answered, "Why, to the Progressive party, nationally." There was childish wonder in his face, as though he had discovered something. The night the vote was finally taken on the bill, there was one pathetic figure on the floor of the House, who arose to protest against the passage of the non-partisan bill, that meant oblivion possibility to the Grand Old Party of his youthful loyalty, the party that had stood for all that was good in the nation, and it was Assemblyman L. B. Cary. When this greyhaired, battlescarred veteran of many a joust upon the floor of the House, arose to speak, there was an unwonted quiet. Known as the most impassioned and eloquent speaker of the House, the Assembly, the balcony and the attaches would not have been disappointed. His very first words, ringing out clearly in clarion notes, with just a slight tremor in them, the result of intense feeling, he had hardly "gotten down to business." when proponents of the bill interrupted the speaker with "points of order." Though the speaker protest, Mr. Fish of Los Angeles, ruled the points as "not well taken," it took some little time, and when Mr. Cary resumed his speech, it was at once apparent that the disturbance, though not abating his ardor in the least, it had, very apparently changed the line of thought he was pursuing at the moment of his interruption. A great speech was missed and his hearers knew it. But the peroration, the "swan cry" of what was to have been a scatching arrangement of the Progressive party, had its utterance in the last few words of what was destined to be a speech never uttered, and when he said these words, with which he fairly flung defiance in the face of his opponents, he trembled with emotion: "It has been asked these few days. What is the object of this non-partisan bill?" I have listened carefully for an answer. It was only half hinted at in a half-timid, desultory manner. I will answer it: There is no national Progressive party. It had but a brief, brilliant existence, like a meteor passing across a blackened sky, and was gone, leaving only the darkness of the night. The party in California still remains, and several ambitious gentlemen, finding themselves in a very embarrassing situation, are looking for a soft spot on which to alight." Then turning to the east side of the House, where were grouped a number of younger Republican stalwarts, lead by Assemblyman Lyon, Bartlett, Burke, Scott and Chamberlin, he said, with deep pathos in his vibrant voice. "I am an old man. I am approaching on the further side of the Great Divide. It will not be many years at best, till I enter the confines of that undiscovered country where it is supposed there will be an end of bitterness and strife, where all is harmony and peace. All of yo uare young men. Some of you are just entering the threshold of your career. I have heard some one remark some hours since, he might possibly be digging his political grave. I want to say to all of you young men that you are not the ones who need you worry along that line. You are making history today and when the historian of later days, calmly and emotionally shall write of these days of storm and passion, you will find your names on the roll of honor. In your hands will be placed the affairs of state by those who know whom they may trust and honor. . . ." There was more said which I do not chronicle, but I understand the Cary speech is to be the rallying cry of the Old Guard, and the young stalwarts when the referendum is being prepared which brings the measure before the voters of the state. There were those carried away with their fervor who said, had this speech been made at the beginning of the debate on the nonpartisan bill, it would have defeated the passage of the bill. Never! The majority of the legislators came from their homes to Number 10 the forty-first session of the Legislature of California for no other purpose than to legislate along lines in consonance with the Governor's policies. Governor Johnson pledged his administration to non-partisanship upon the stump, and just such a bill as was passed. Speaker Young, while the floor leader for his bill, showed the non-partisan spirit that had taken city and county offices out of party control and made them non-partisan, politically. Especial stress was laid on the fact that a non-partisan judiciary had given the state great efficiency on the bench. What was good for county and municipal government, like results would be to state government by eliminating party control and leaving it on non-partisan basis in direct control of the people. The referendum, initiative and recall, liable of abuse, is a beneficent measure, and a strong non-partisan argument. It was urged by those who spoke against the bill, that it would destroy party organization nationally. This has been satisfactorily answered by the non-partisan bill itself in providing against any interference in national party organization. A non-partisan city, county and state government is a well-regulated domestic affair, a household to be directly regulated by the inmates thereof. By strictly attending to home affairs without bias, we will find more time for the larger national life, which will continue to be handled and controlled through party organization, until the people shall feel strong enough to take the initiative in control of all the concerns of this great commonwealth, clept the United States. Now on with the referendum, a Progressive measure. BILL ANGELENO SUCCESSFUL RALLY BY J. H. FRANKLIN 734 East 3rd Street.

We were living in hope that no one would seek to advertise it in our city, after reading the decision of Judge Jackson in Los Angeles about two months ago, but some of the colore voters protested the production of it and the city censors told them that they have no power to prevent it. They were told by H. F. Stone, acting chairman of the city board of censors, Sr. and F. M. Chapin, that deputy city attorney Howard had ruled that, because of the court's action in Los Angeles, the board has no right to prevent the production or order it changed; so the board allowed them merely the right to protest to the management, but not to fosbid the production or order it changed; and he advised that no prohibitory action should be attempted by the censors of this city, as there is no distinction between the cities, as we would have to try it before the same Los Angeles court. Manager Wilson of Clinn's theater says he can not see how any objectionable feature can be found in the film. He says the national board of censorship passed upon them and one of the local says that you cannot tell whether they have been paid to advertise the play by opposing it, but I don't think so. It is running just the same. If the city cannot prohibit the exhibition of such pictures as that of the Clansman, in my opinion, they should license the theatres. Then when the censors' board torbid the production of anything and if they attempt to show them their license could be revoked, just as was done with one of the theares in Philadelphia last week. They regulate the jitney busses and other things in the city regardless of what Los Angeles does. But in this case they say that there is no distinction between the two cities. Los Angeles licenses men to sell beer, but we do not in our city. That makes me believe that there is some distinction between the two cities. Just half a century ago last Wednesday, when the cowardly Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln, who had just finished the task of binding up the nation's victory, instead of celebrating the anniversary by advocating that every flag pole in the Union have a flag on it, and all of the ships in the navy floating to the breeze the flag at half mast, this Clansman is doing the opposite. We should teach our children yet unborn to treat such a company with scorn. When the Southern people were in war against this great Union of ours, trying to bind the snackles tighter on the limbs of the colored man, the colored man taking care of his family at home in the South, and no assault was reported. Now comes the Clansman trying to show to the world the mistreatment of the white women by the Negroes. That is done to degrade the Negro race, and to create racial hatred, as well as revive race prejudice by overdrawing things. They show things that never happened; he does this in order to keep up lynchings. I say instead of misrepresenting things Lincoln saved the Union and he was assassinated, and the black man was taking care of the white man's family during the civil war, and the Clansman is trying to kill his race. But do your duty as you see it, for God is not dead. Let love and forgiveness fill your expanding heart. States' Societies.

HANFORD ITEMS Allensworth observed April 7th as Allensworth Day. In story and song the children and parents told the story of great men, in particular the story of Col. Allensworth, who while living wrought so well and left as a legacy a community in which the ambitious of his race might assemble and work out his own destiny. The several organizations, civic and religious, contributed numbers. It is the ambition of Allensworth citizens that the race throughout the state will awaken to the desirability of keep certain days for race leaders and believe that in Col. Allensworth's birthday we have a common starting point and from this we can bring in to prominence the natal days of many of our chieftans. The raliying song Allensworth, My Allensworth formed the nucleus for the sentiment emphasized during the evening: Allenswortn, My Allensworth To freedom's shrine our sons ere kneel Allensworth, My Allensworth. May here begin for worthy men Careers that only time will end And thr2 the ages we shall sing Allensworth, My Allensworth. Rev Tremain of Alpaugh conducted religious services Sunday morning.

There is no question of the fact that there are some of the candi- dates in case of their gaining a place on the ticket at the primar- ies must reckon with the opposi- tion of the solid Colored vote at the veneral election. We are saying now to some of the candidates who are seeking our support, “Where were you when we needed you the most.” With the passing of the heavy- weight championship, let us now hope that peace and quietude shall reign supreme. Sidney P. Dones has made good in the business world and these are the men we can afford to sup- port to attend to our business. Watch next week's issue of The Eagle for an analysis of the pending campaign. Do not be hasty in making alliances, as we have information worth while to impart, both on the mayorality, councilmanic and school board propositions. These are matters in which we are all vitaliy inter- ested and it will pay you to hear us on this matter. ARTHUR H. JONES : GAINING SUPPORT Arthur H. Jones is gaining each day a strong support all along the line for the City Council. Among the Colored voters he is a prime favorite and as an appreciation for his interest to this people we shall ask to make his support! unanimous. DONES LOOMS UP LIKE A SURE WINNER As times for thea primaries ap- proach. the people are beginning to see the necessity of giving Mr Sidney P. Dones a strong’ support all along the line for membership in the City Council. The fact that Oscar Depriest won out in Chicago last week has created a new interest here, and 2 strong support by all will land Dones a sure winner. So let us all see to it that Mr. Dones receives a united support for the position to which he as- pires. * LOS ANGELES AND MOVING PICTURES Just what the status of the city government of Los Angeles is, Seems to be a mooted question. The City Council, its known leg- islative body, unanimously passed a resolution directing the Chief of Poilce to stop the exhibition of a moving picture which tended to stir up strife, but in steps the court and says the Cound can- \not do this thing. ~ ~ Now.comes the Board of Cen- sors, who. disapprove. the play ae the: see ahead bi ownel z rs Za as | 3 et tet that cause us'to wonder just what the city government of Los An- geles consists of. Or was there a whole lot of grand stand play put over. We would really like to.know. Who will tell us? CONSERVATISM VS. RADICALISM The people of the United States for the past three years have had the bitter experience of having to do with “hard times,” despite the fact that there are many newspa- pers that have consistently de- nied the fact that such times ex- ist, however, we who would ad- mit the painful, truth must ac- knowledge that the wolf of pov- erty, suffering and starvation has stalked up and down the country- side unhindered and unhampered. :\s to the cause of this state of affairs, we are of the opinion that it is to be found in those two words—Conservatism and Rad- icalism. In fact, we believe that the whole key to the entire situa- tion is too much governmental in= terference in private business. Not that we are opposed to reg- ulation of a reasonable sori, ut because of the fact that all large business enterprises that have been promoted within the past tif teen years have been more or less hampered by cumbersome regu- lations—oi_ which the National Congress, State Legislatures, and every petty country and munici- pal Council have passed tons and tons of irreconcilable laws—until all businesses, no matter how hon- estly and conscientiously con: ducted have to a more or less de- gree run afoul of some of these regulations Citizens it is time to call a halt. Many of these councilmen— legislators, assemblymen, — con- gressmen and senators, both state and national, are naught by poli: ticians—playing the game of pol itics. ‘The most selfish game ir the world—actuated in many in: stances by personal desire and ambition, knowing next to noth ing of real business and perchance unsuccessful in every line save polities. \nd it is these men who at al times attempt to regulate busi ness. Verily. it is to laugh. They could not successfully regulate 7 “hot dog” stand, let alone a com mercial enterprise with a capita aggregating hundred million dol lars This paper will continue a ser 1es of editorials on this very im portant subject of Conservatisn and Radicalism and will endeavo to educate the Afro-America voter up to the place where the: shall not become the victim~o these alleged reformers.

MARTIN, - Among the many things’ for which the present campaign will ‘be noted is the advent of the young blood into polical arena. Notably among the younger class of men appearing before the pub- lic seekjng the suffrage of the people is W. V. Martin, famil- jarly known as “Bill.” Mr. Mar- tin is a young man of the most progressive type. He stands for the most advanced municipal and moral reforms, and has the cour- age of his convictions. Mr. Mar- tin 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 sub- stantial support with which he is atended, 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 prop- er type. When the true charac- teristics of Mr. Martin become generally known we predict for him the support of the Colored voters of this city 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 coun- cilmanic fight. Mr. Topham has served in the capacity of council- man under the old ward system. and has.a host oi friends who will employ every legitimate method to secure his election as a mem- ber of the next City Council. Es- pecially is this true of his many Colored constituents, who in grateful remembrance of impar- tial 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 decid- ed 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 ef- fort to land him in the City Coun- cil. A stalwart partisan, a faith- ful official, a valued friend, Mr. Lewis possesses the requisites to secure for himself one of the larg- est votes of any candidate for the position to which he aspires. An awakened public conscience is de- manding efficient public officials, whose integrity stands unques- tioned, 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. JOHN T. KIGGENS. Possibly the most unique char- acter of the present campaign is John T. Kiggens. Mr. Kiggens is an attorney of some forty years experience and hails irom that part of the country where the un- derground railroad operated so ef- fectively, lowa. Mr. Kiggens is unquestionably one of the most remarkable characters of this present day. Able. fearless. ag- gressive, he possesses the highest conception regarding civic res- ponsibilities and duties and would if elected make a real representa- tive of all the people in the coun- ‘cil chamber of this city. Mr. Kig- Fens is a sworn foe to the grait and greed of public office and can be depended upon to do his ut- most to bring any official to ac- count wherever corruption ap- pears. Mr. Kiggens has by his integrity and honesty won for himself the name of Honest J. T., and those who know him best are giving him the warmest support. “tis Colored Employees Re. te: membered.

This movement was in rdlation to the proper persons to support for the school board at the coming election, with a fight 80 evenly balanced as the one between the two factions of the white race it can easily be seen that the col- ored vote of the city absolutely will name the next school board for thie city. Now then in doing this they have the golden opportunity of seeing to it that the race in the future will receive more consideration in pro- curing employment for our mechan ice, laborers, Janitors, etc, And it was along these lines which the Brotherhood tovk strong grounds at their meeting Sunday, This or- ganization is doing great work and deserves the support of all who tand for all the things tnat ga to make up real race progress, | Sund a special program will be rendered, Lawyer J.

Done: For short notice the Dones rally at the 8th and Towne ave, church Tuesday evening was a grand suc- cess, There was a strong and heal- thw sentiment for his support and from now on up to the primaries no doubt Mr. Dones will receive a hearty support. The meeting was called to order by T. A, Cole and apeeches were made by Messrs Thomas, King, Bass Jenkins, Spigner, Capt.Haw- kins, attorney Jones, Mrs. Spear- Bass and others, It was agreed to hoid a monster Dones rally on Friday the 27th at Central for which Capt.

Gilmore, formerly of Oakland and of late residing here with her_son, Mr. R. K. Gilmore, departed this life Friday April Sth, and wasflaid to rest Monday April 12, from Smith & Williams’ undertaking parlors, inter- ment at Evergreen. “There was a splendid company of friends and citi- zens in attendance. The Tuskegee Club was true to its object. They sent a very choice floral design. R.K. Gil- mere, son of the deceased, was a stu- dent of Tuskegee nd a privileged member of the club. Six young men acted os pall-bearers. Many friends of Mrs. Gilmore’s regreted not being present. Rev. 3. A. Dennis of San ose officiated. Mr. Gilmore has won for himself the highest respect of friends in Oakland ard Los Angeles for the way he cared for his mother; and she honored her son by trusting everything tovhis man- agement, He will remain a while from his work for his mcther’s sake. Thanks to all the friends for their kindly sympathies. R. Giumore. THE IRWIN.

[By Elbert Hubbard] It was common knowledge in Shake- speare’s time that the brain wasa very important organ, that physical health was in some way dependent upon it. “Canst thou minister to the mind diseased?" asked Macbeth, long before the mental healer was discoverad. However, it remains for the twen tieth century to really know that an active brain is necessary, for good health. = ‘The brain needs regular healthful exercise just as every other functional organ demands its regular exercise, and now as to proof. Statements made by Clara Barton are good author- ity, so long as what she states are facts demonstrated by her life. She said: ‘'I find that work is neces- sary to good health. Other forms of exercise may give the muscles regular and rythmic expansion and contraction, but there is satisfaction in work that neither play nor gymnasium, nor other exercises can give.” Clara Barton was a frail child. She lived to be ninety-one years old. She was an insistent, hard worker all of her long life. She never retired from active work. She naver took a vacation. Her war experiences are unique. She spent more days upon the field of battle than did General Grant. She brought to this country from Switzerland the Red Cross system of ministering to the wounded on battle- fields. She organized, caused to be accepted by all Red Cross societies throughout the world, the inclusive amendment whereby the Red Cross serviceis given rot only to relieve distress on the field of battle, but wherever there is a dis- aster of any kind—flood, fire, earth- quake or calamity through disease, famine, pestilence. Her food for months was bread, cheese and apples. She endured. She lived the privations of soldiers. Her death-bed was a soldier’s couch. At ninety she was full of plans for organizations and work, and her mind was as vigorous as when she was forty. “How do you account for it?”” she was asked. ‘‘Because my brain as well as my hands haye worked every day all my life.’” | Special Carnival Notice Carnival of States at the Mt, Zion Baptist church:May 3rd, 4th and 5th.

DEFEAT OF HIS FORMER PRINCIPAL IN A SPECIAL ARTICLE TO THE EAGLE Jack Johnson’s pugilistic record will never be equalled, he has gone all over the world met and defeated all races for 15 years, he “should have been champion of the word for 11 years but he was kept back until it was thought he was allin,as an athlete, and then he was givens chance at the title. which he won with ease, I am really sorry he did not think of the hard time he had getting his chance when Jack Curly spoke to him regarding his contest with Willard. Johnson allowed that bunch of whites to outmateh him; going 45 rounds when he should have held out for 20, I am sorry I was.nét there to assist him. I was with him from 1902 to 1912 and should know him very well, the reason I speak of this ie that I am trying to impress the fact that Jack lost hie fight with Williard simply because he held Williard cheap and failed to train properly, He well understood that this man was not in his class and that made him loaf. If na had trained as he bad in RES ERES Pee i: ee = ha po ee Bee P ke eet a <4 e : gZ@oa "3 ieee a & \ a : y ah Le a L E 1 "I a aN as ny eS . a ere er ba fi eae aad a be oe h bea. cae a a a the past he would have certainly won, but as it was, he allowed this fellow to slip up on him and catch him out of condition, that is all there is to it. When it comes to rating fighters Williard is @ 5th rater, he is not a full-fledged champion as he did not come up from the ranks. There has never been a white champion and there never will be for all of them draw the color line; Jack Johnson was the only man that held these honors. I think that if he is given a return match within a year he will turn the tubles, I would like to know what chance the white race have to hold the championship if our our young men were given anything like an even bresk with their white hopes. I would not have to go out of this {estate to get a black man that could lick Williard Let them take down the color line and see how long they last as topnotchers. I hope the blacke will see the matter asit really is and quit saying Johnson sold out. I think it an injustice tothe greatest man pugiliem ever knew. I am sorry we have not a few more men like Johnson in our race. So let us not forget the great things he accomplished. The word Supremacy did not go with the Jobnson-Willar fight, but it went with Johneon—Jefiries fight, The white race did not think {they bad a chance with Willard up,eo westill baye Su- premacy left. The differer.ce between the black and white fighters is the whites train to take a beating and the blacks train to give a beating.

C.H Anderson, D.D., Pastor. The services at New Hope Baptist church last Sunday were very inspiring. Junday morning at 9:30 Superintendent Bro. E. Payne called the Sunday school together, which was largely attended. The subject, "David Annointed King," which was a very interesting one. Much good was accomplished and the children were greatly benefited. At the regular 11 a.m. services, Rev. Dr. Arline occupied the pulpit at this service and preached a very strong sermon and a most instructive one. We all thanked Dr. Airline for his able discourse. At 6:30 p.m. President B. Highbaugh called his B. Y. P. U. forces together and was very largely attended and the lesson was very ably discussed. Next Sunday evening at 6:30 all members and friends are requested to be present, at which time a very well prepared program will be presented. At the evening service our assistant pastor Rev. Howard Folke. preached a very able sermon. Dr. Folkes was hidden behind the sacred desk and he preached "Jesus and Him Crucified." Sunday April 18th at the morning service our pastor, Dr. Anderson, will occupy the pulpit and at the evening service our assistant pastor, Rev. Howard Folk, will speak. Come and hear him. All members and friends are cordially invited to be present at both services. B. F. Anderson, Church Reporter Wesley Chapel Notes. Wesley chapel was crowded at both services on Sunday. The thank offering service at 11 a.m. in the interest of the Woman's Home Missionary Society, Miss N. J. S. Moore, president. At the evening service pastor Kinchen was greeted by a large audience to hear him speak on "Hard Times." Those who heard this message were inspired and many are anxious to hear it again. All eyes will turn to Wesley on Sunday to hear Prof. H. S. Davage of New Orleans. Prof. Davage is one of the outstanding men of the race and the leading layman of the M. E. church. He will preach on Sunday morniog at 11 o'clock, and at the evening service. His subject at night is "The Challenge of the Young Negro of the South to the Race Problem All the people will do well to hear this great young man. Tabernacle Baptist Church News All last week and all this week revival services were held. Rev. R. A. Whittaker conducted the preaching each evening. Never was the gospel made so plain and simple, and it seems there is no reason for delay in accepting Christ. He has preached a most powerful sermons on "The Prodigal Son" "Life Opportunity" and "The Rich Man and Lazarus." He will be with us Sunday and all who have not heard him should hear him. Many Many hrve accepted Cnrist at our meetings. Rev. J. D. Gordon filled the pulpit last Sunday morning and evening. His text in the morning was, "There is a Friend that Sticketh close than a Brother." In his sermon he said, in part, that human nature is in a crude state, and God is refining us here for the country to which we go. We sometimes reach the age of mother or father, or even grandmother and we are still undergoing our refining. The world is the machine set in motion to work out and polish the mind, heart and soul. We do not understand it but we should know that all things work together for good to them who love God. Our hardships are but one part of the machine. He also said we should cultivate spiritual friendship. A friend will stand by you and know you have a fault, and then overlook that fault. You cannot forgive unless you love them and seek to lead them out of thejr faults. He directed us to that friend who will stick to us in life and will be with us in the hour called death. After the morning services the infant children of Mr. and Mrs Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. Norwood were blessed by the pastor. All of the different meetings of the church were called off indefinitely on account of our revival. The fourth Sunday in April we are to have a free will rally for which a good many have already subscribed, and we hope to be able to straighten up all of the little debts now hanging on. The federation of Unions B. Y we have much in our grasp to help us on to success if we but take due notice of the things within our reach. If we are careful to see and realize the rods in our hands, other races live by what we throw away. He touched upon the need of the race to take advantage of opportunities, to compete with other races, etc. Sunday morning, "Cistern and Fountains" will be the pastor's subject. Solo by Miss Carrie Albritton, second of the Albritton family, who gives promise of being a wonderful singer. Mrs. Pauline Brooks Daniels will sing her beautiful composition. At the evening service the pastor will continue his sermons on "The Life of Moses." Isaac Burton will sing a solo, also a number by a female quartette. Tuesday evening the Get-Acquainted Literary Society met at Biggers' Business College on Central avenue, and transacted important business, besides the instructions given by the president as to official duties and parliamentary usages. Next Tuesday evening a grand program will be rendered by toe male members of the society, assisted by some of the leading male talent of other churches. Vocal solos, quartettes, readings and addresses will be rendered. The following are among the participants to render special selections: Rev. H. T. Ward, W.W Gay Rev. A. Lively, Lawyer C. A. Jones, Prof. A. J. Williams, Prof. C. A. Biggers and Dr. J. T. Hill. Other special attractions will add to the inspiration, honor and pleasure of the occasion. E. 8th Street Christian Church All services on last Sunday were well attended, with quite a few visitors and friends, among whom were Rev. and Mrs. Wm. Z. Hopper. In the morning Rev. McMickens preached on the Sunday school lesson. Text, "Man Looketh on the Outward Appearance, but Jehovah Looketh on the Heart." 1 Sam., 16:7. He first explained how God did not want Israel to be ruled by kings, but instead he wanted to be their only leader. When he consented to let them have a king it was simply to please them. There have been four governments, the last three of which we use today, namely: theocracy, monarchy, aristocracy and democracy. our eyes often fool us, but God is never deceived. Reference, 1 Sam., 12:13, 13:13. David was the first king chosen by God. All the men called by God were busy doing some kind of work, and they had to sacrifice their work to do His will: So it is with the Christians of today. They have to make a sacrifice of something to do God's will. Peter said Christ would sit upon David's throne, but instead of being a king of a nation, as David was, He was king of kings and lord of lords. Where the word of the king is there is power. In the evening Bro. I. J. Williams preached a very good sermon from Matt. 27:22, "Pilate saith unto them, what shall I do then with Jesus which they call Christ? Bro. Williams thinks this verse is the saddest verse found in the whole Bible. Before going into the details of the sermon Bro. Williams announced the number of chapters, verses, words and letters in both the old and new testaments, and then in the whole of the bible. I am sorry that space will not permit me to go into details, so I will conclude with saying, as Bro. Williams did "What would we do with Jesus were we in Pilate's stead?" This is a personal question for you and and me to answer individually. The pastor will occupy the pulpit at both services on Sunday, April 18: morning "Expository Sermon on the Shepherd Psalm." Evening, "The Man With a Vision." JUANITA BAUSLEY,Church Reporter Mt. Zion Baptist Church We had a great service Sunday beinning with the Sunday School. Sermon at 11 a.m., "A Prepared Place." This was indeed a strong and well received discourse. At the evening service the pastor continued his series of sermons on "The Life of Moses." these sermons are helpful, and those who have been fortunate enough to hear them have expressed themselves in a most favorable manner. The phase of "The Life of Moses" touched Sunday night was where God asked Moses "what he had in his hand" and Moses said "a rod." He had mentioned several hinderances but God showed him that the rod was an overcoming portio for all these obstacles. The Dr. made an unusually strong application to this phase of the leader's life; viz: with all our difficulties P. U. meets with us Sunday afternoon and we hope all friends and members will come out, as there is always a good program rendered at these meetings. It meets at 2:30 p.m., instead of 4, so come early.

Reynolds, Author of the Scrap Book, W. J. McLemore, et al.’ An Infant's Trip to Chicago. [From the Scrap Book by J. D. Reynolds.) Somebody's baby—less than 2 years old—has completed a trip to Chicago from Arizona under conditions unique in the annals of traveling babydom. F. W. Rollins of F. W-Rollins & Sons bankers, a passenger on the train that brought the baby, told the story, ‘At a station in Arizona on the Rock Island road a poor woman placed a very small baby boy in charge of the Pull- man porter,’’ said Mr, Rollins. ‘‘She ‘bought sufficient food to last as far as Chicago and a half fare ticket and a berth for the baby to Chicago. “She recently had lost her husband and was compelled to-go to work to ‘support herself and her other children, all small. The baby vas too young. to leave at home, so she arranged to send it to a relative in Chicago. Her frients contributed money to pay expenses, but there was the little one starting out all alone on the long trip to Chi. cago. “I watched the developments with much interest. The car was almost empty, so the rter had plenty of time to devote. che littleone. I have ever seen g- er kindness. When- ever I went through the car he was holding ‘the baby, keeping him amused and supplied with food. ““*Rerry Moyer, dining car conductor, guard. Once I came across the ccnduct- er watching the baby. Cautioning me to be quiet, he {pulled aside the berth curtain and let me peepin. There was ‘the infant, snuggled in bed, sound asleep, witha big red apple in his hands. “The conductor watched until mid- night, when the porter relieved him. At half past 5 the conductor again got up, heated some milk and resumed his vigil. The conductor informed me cont fidentially that when he arrived at Chi- cago, if noone met the baby, he in- tended to take it home, himself. “My last sight of the baby wes in Chicago, high up on the shoulder of the porter walking down the platform, with the conductor trailing behind. Both were obviously determined that the baby should have a square deal. “Now here were two men upon whom this baby had no claim. Many men would have been annoyed to have had such a duty forced upon them, but instead of being crusty about it, they ‘grasped the situation as though it were a pleasure. Iam sure that everyoody whp witnessed their kindness felt 2 warmth obout the heart that was grat- ifying and elevating.” The conductor and the porter started dack for the coast Friday night.—From The Traveller de Luxe, by James King Steele, managing editor, San Fra. cisco, 7 ; Mrs. Levane:is recovering rapid. ly at theGood Gameriten hospital: THEEL DORADO GOLD STAR MINING COM- PANY MAKES . GREAT ’ SHOWING: Eprror Gativornia Bacis: Last week you published an ar- ticle entitled « “Timely Sugges- tion,” in which appeal was made in qebalf of our colored laborers and mechanics. Now, it is true that there are but two colored men working for the board of education who are mechanics; it 18 true that they do employ many sach per- sons, but that they ignore the Ne-' gro people in this branch of cur city government. What are we to| 40? Weare here to etay, and why don’t the domiseering race give usasquare deal? Our es are crying out for work, our me chanics are ruled out by the Unions and by prejudice in other quarters; we desire to always be good law abiding men; we are buy- ing homes, and we do all wecan to give our children an education and good moral and Christian instruc- tion, 8o that they will grow up and become good and desirable citizens We are not unarchists, we believe in a government for and by the people; we have been true to the | flag, we are # peace-loving people; |we are by nature an industrious hard working people, we are agree- able even to ouropprescore. ‘Then under what rule or ethical system, |under what form of the Christian religion are we discriminated against? Why is our black skin |made sthe badge of hate by the | white man and why ie it a crimeto lbe black? Why is all this colo | hatred forgot when the nation need black men to do battle? When eos men were needed to protect the homes of the master class dur- | ing tne civil war, while he fought jto keep us in servitude, there was no complaint ever lodged against Jus for violation of the confidence |repored or for cowardice on the jaite field? We have proven that we are not only American in all that the word implies but we are lees the very best friend that this white race has ever had; then why are we denied a square deal? Way are we made to take the back seat and every other race given the preference? Why are we deprived an entrance into the door of op opportunity? Wherre is the boast- ed religion of the Caucasian race? What God does he serve? What is his Golden Rule? Does he not realize that we have the same ten- derness, the same sensibili‘ies, the same lofty conceptions that he has? Although a week and a young race in civilization that just as he fought against English oppression nearly two centuries ago that we may tire of his oppression, of his constantly denying us a square deal. We have appealed to his reason, to his christianity, to his sense of right and wrong; we have tried to prove to him that we were indeed his very best friend, we have prayed to the God in whom we believe for a change that would bring us squarely to the door of opportunity, yet we have not re- ceived the desired relief. Now wo are a dissatisfied people, that is the plain truth of the situation, and the day of retribution -which ig in every way undesirable may yet come with all its horrors, for if the white man was in our place, be would never have stood the discri- minations we have stood; indeed be would have done any known act, even to violence, to even the score with us us at whatever the cost, Atthe Temple Auditorium during the past nine weeks the people of this city have been see- ing on canvas vivid illustrations of his cruelty to the Negro imme- diately after the civil war, for when N.

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 oi 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 car- loads 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 ior 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 hali 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 ior 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 thé 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 dspensation 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. ge er = ae Beg re : mewn on 7 letn a bee Man tT — —, Ga EG, | en | serene op Fonz sales SAO meas an, Hone ee eS we tT, iC ren wy pee PSL, poh min epee ates, alo hon lot Ppdaces Sh ar na tet te SS OT. efi, eaaeee Eada eee Ahn ee A lh eof da a a ey og eee en ae gow and Pro tes ae te gee oa Step ce Fe gga = .
