We Urge that Negroes Express their Desire for Justice by a Free Use of the Ballot BUSINESS MEN For chief executive of a city the size of Los Angeles it is of vital importance that we should have at the helm of the city government a man who is experienced in handling business on a large scale, and for this reason among others is why they are urging the election of Mr. Whiffen, who not only is the careful business man, but who would see to it that taxation is at the minimum and whose capability in this position is unquestioned. And to legislate for the city's future a strong councilmanic ticket along with Mr. Whiffen is very necessary and after carefully looking over the various candidates the following ticket is presented to guide the destinies of our city for the ensuing two years. E. C. HAMPTON. A coincident favorable to the candidacy of E. C. Hampton, independent candidate for city council, is the close proximity of Memorial Day to the city election. Mr. Hampton posses the honored distinction of being the only candidate for council who is a veteran of the civil war. Grateful race men and women from every section of the city will hail with delight an opportunity to demonstrate their appreciation for a man whose very appearance to this easy bears evidence of his active participation in the contest which means so much to the enfranchised American. Mr. Hampton is especially filled by experience and ability for the position to which he aspires and his active interest in civic affairs has won for him the support and endorsement of all the civic and political bodies of the Northwestern section of the city. Mr. Hampton is truly the logical man for a seat in the city council. Vote for E. C. Hampton. Mr. Foster C. Wright promises that if elected to the city council he will do all that is within his power to promote all interest of the city that are destined to do the most good for the largest number of people. s within his l interest of stined to do the largest people, who Estelle Lindsey. Clara Foltz. E. L. Williams. E. C. Hampton. Robert Brain. Foster Wright. Those among our people, who have met Mr. Wright are favorably impressed with his personality and believe that he will be friendly disposed towards us if elected to the council. A GREAT PATRIOTIC MEETING AT MT. ZION. A. C. Williams, B. D., Speaker. Undoubtedly the most thoroughly enthusiastic and patriotic meeting ever held by our people will be at Mt. Zion Baptist church, Sunday, May 30th, at 3 p.m. Dr. Alfred C. Williams, the pastor of the only Colored Institutional church west of the Rock- REV. J. T.

Monday evening, May 31st, at 8:30 p. m., at the Alhambra Club. All members and their friends are urged to be present to hear this address by one of our leading scholars, Volume 28 ENDORSED BY E. C. HAMPTON The California Lagle ies, and a young Demosthenes of the race, will deliver the main address. Music will be furnished by 50 men, accompanied by several instruments. Hear this great male chorus under Prof. Edward Hawkins. The like has never been seen or heard in all the West. There will be other addresses, five minutes each, from some of the representative young men of our race, viz., Dr. Leonard Stovall, on behalf of the physicians; Sidney P. Dones, on behalf of business men. Attorney Jones on behalf of the legal fraternity. S. P. Johnson on behalf of labor and secret organization. J. B. Bass on behalf of the press. Hear these men who are making sentiment on behalf of our race. Mr. Harrison, formerly first tenor of Dixie concert company, will sing one of his choice selections. Mr. J. R. Manning, a bass singer of renown, will sing. Attend this great meeting. Picked for a Winner Among the number who are running for the council is Robert T. Brain. "Bob" is so well known that it is almost unnecessary to comment upon his past record. He is a self made man, having, after his education in this city's public schools was completed, began his business career, as a messenger boy for the Southern Pacific company. For 22 years he worked his way steadily up to the responsible position of accountant. On his resignation he entered business for himself, but after two years received unsolicited the appointment of undersheriff of Los Angeles county, in which capacity he served faithfully for seven years. He was always "on the job" and never known to shirk his tiresome and often dangerous duties. In this office he naturally became acquainted with everything political and administrative in the city and county, consequently is well adapted to fill the office of councilman. "Bob" is known in town as one of the largest hearted, most willing and ablest of men, with untiring zeal and singleness of purpose. JOHN TOPHAM FOR CITY COUNCIL Mr. John Topham is worthy of the support of our people for the council. He has served the people faithfully and well in the past and we are asking our people to give him their hearty support. THE TICKET Endorsed by Patriotic League.

Mr. Alexander has sent out over 2000 letters to members of the race in all parts of the country extending a cordial invitation in the name of the Exposition management to our people to take advantage of the educational value of the great fair. If any of our readers contemplate visiting the fair, it would be well to write Prof. Charles Alexander, 1299 Hyde street, San Francisco, for information concerning accommodations, etc. The Third Baptist church, corner Clay and Hyde streets, San Francisco, Rev. Allen Newman, pastor, will celebrate its sixty-fourth anniversary June 2nd to 6th and will afford delightful and instructive programs during that period. Captain O. J. W. Scott of the 25th U. S. Infantry will deliver his great lecture, "Lincoln, the Ideal Citizen," on the opening night of the celebration, followed on Thursday evening, June 3rd, by a splendid program by the Royal Hawaiian Glee Club of Honolulu, Hawaii. Other important features will be the lecture on Friday evening by Prof. Charles Alexander and Saturday evening the grand organ recital by Prof. R. F. Tilton of the Shriners Temple. A great many strangers from the East are in San Francisco at this time. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McClain of Jacksonville, Florida, spent a few days visiting the Exposition last week. Mr. McClain is one of the leading and substantial citizens of his section and MISS LORET Who will appear in her initial reci In the city of Los Angeles as representatives in the schools and academies we have a few young men and women of whom we are wont to boast, and to predict for them futures that will redound to the glory and honor of the race, and conspicuous among them is seventeen-year-old Lorenza Jordan. Miss Jordan is not a stranger to the general public, but this is her first appearance in recital. She is a young girl with rare ability and a musical genius. Those who have heard her perform on the piano on less conspicuous occasions will want to hear her in this, her first piano recital. In the L. A. High school, where she is a student, she has attracted close attention of teachers and pupils as one of the best music students in the school. This week her original composition attract- --- with his wife is making a tour of the country. Mr. E. Smyth Jones of New York is stopping at 1299 Hyde street. Mr. Jones is a poet of real merit and the San Francisco Chronicle, gave him deserved praise in a lengthy article a few days ago. Mr. W. H. Davis of Boston, Mass, is the only Colored man who has an exhibitor's concession at the Exposition. Mr. Davis is demonstrating a citrus fruit squeeze and he is making a paying business by furnishing lemon and orange juice to those concessions using lemon and orange juice in their business. The invention is a household necessity and Mr. Davis is proving its worth to all visitors who pay his booth a call. Mr. and Mrs. H. Shannon entertained Prof. Alexander at dinner on Wednesday evening. A delightful and profitable evening was spent. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold a session in the Third Baptist church on Monday evening next, and the public is invited. The St. Francis Social club has procured a new charter and will open its doors again on Friday. H. E. Taylor is still on the job at the Palace hotel and had added Mr. Frank Lewis to his force. Mrs. Clara Mapp sailed on the Yale Thursday for Los Angeles to visit her mother. The Leslie Social Club was raided Sunday night and about 10 of the most prosperous ones. The cases were dismissed.

Because of her push and pluck Miss Jordan is waging her way. Her plans for entering the Boston Conservatory are already laid, and we predict that this road will lead to Berlin. Those who avail themselves of the opportunity of attending "the Jordan piano recitay" will not only help and encourage a young girl of the race, who is making the fight, but every young boy and girl with the same or similar ambition. Miss Jordan will be assisted by Miss Minnie Albritton as soloist and Mrs. G. L. Williams as dramatic reader. Don't forget that the concert is June 29 at First A. M.

Shannon, 1584 Post street. Mr. Ernest Burr, capitalist and business man of this city, has just bought a new Winton six, $3,500. H. Shannon has disposed of his jitney bus, which he ran in Oakland. It looks like the churches are about to lose out, as the saloons are playing to crowded houses every night. Attorney S. L. Mash is in jail on a charge of white slavery.

After thorough investigation and with an interest for the progress of all of the people and especially for the future welfare of the city in which we live and with especial reference to the clientage which we serve we verily believe that our people would subserve their best interest by giving in the pending campaign their support to the candidacy of F. J. Whiffen for Mayor. In the pending campaign it is not a question particularly of men or of issues, but it is to our minds a question of efficiency, and when it comes to that we do not believe that there is anyone who would say that there is any comparison to be made between Mr. Whiffen and Mr. Sebastian. In these strenuous and tax ridden times it is of vital importance that we should have as chief executive of a great city like ours, a man who has had experience and who is acquainted with the maze of intricate questions which are constantly confronting the very best brains that have to do with the progress of this rapidly growing metropolis. So stripped of all of the muck-raking, or of the sympathetic plays or sensational episodes, or of the pending trial, we must above all have the vital interests of the city in which we live at heart. The Colored citizens, even though they stand alone, should take high ground in the present political crisis and support efficiency in public service, and above the rub dub and bally ho political side show stand for common decency and common sense, and if the scales are tilted by the Negro voters, let them be as they have always been when put to the crucial test, tilted on the side of RIGHT. "E L." Williams Our Friend "E L." Williams Our Friend There has been a vicious and unfair assault made by designing politicians particularly upon one of the Councilmanic Candidates by the injection into the campaign of various inferences and insinuations tending to create the impression that that candidate is narrow minded and in favor of unfair discrimination against the colored people. The editor has consulted Mr. Williams personally and has made careful inquiry through a number of channels including Mrs. Estelle Lawton Lindsay and as a result takes this means personally to advise the colored people of Los Angeles that that candidate, Mr. "E. L." Williams, is an absolutely broad minded, fair, clean cut, capable and aggressive young man, without perjudice or bias, is the character of man we should have in our City Council.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE EAST EIGHTH STREET CHRISTIAN CHURCH Last Sunday the pastor, Rev. D. L. McMickens, preached from Mark 16:15, 16. "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned," He impressed the thought that salvation is given us on condition that we comply with the Word of God. As faith alone does not save us, nor does confession, repentance or baptism but it takes all of these things combined to put man into Christ. Our past sins must be forgiven but this does not put one into the Kingdom of Christ. Our work only begins here. We must add to our faith virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, goodliness, brotherly kindness and charity. This is the faith that works by love, purifies the heart and overcomes the world. He said Christ in His death taken the sins of those who had died. Adam for example, but we must answer for our sins personally and individually. The teaching of the apostles always harmonized with the great commission. They baptized those that believed and confessed as Phillip baptized the Ethiopian Ennuch when he confessed Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Acts 8:37. This is the only confession we are asked to make. This is God's way. Bro. Wm. B. Hopper spoke at the evening service. Subject "Wisdom, and what it is." Wisdom comes from God. Solomon prayed to God for wisdom to lead his people. God answered him by giving him not only an abundance of wisdom but riches galore. This great man was a type of Christ. To obtain wisdom we must study God's word and not merely read it over. By wisdom Solomon's reign was one of peace. So wonderful was he that the Queen of Sheba came 1500 miles to test the wisdom of this man. He closed by comparing this reign like unto Jesús Christ. Aitogether his explanation was fine and both services were well attended. Juanita Bausley, Reporter. TABERNACLE CHURCH NEWS. All of those that usually attend our early prayer meeting attended the Union prayer services last Sunday and there was a good many present. One sinner accepted Christ. We had several visitors at our Sunday school. Miss Eaton, representing the Hope paper of which some of us know about gave us a brief talk also Bro. S. P. Johnson and Rev. Davis. Rev. Davis of Oakland preached at 11 o'clock. His text was Plasm 27,1. "The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear." He said when we do not have the light of God present darkness fills our life. In every step of our lives there is a light that saves us and beams out on our pathway for the Lord is my salvation.

Rev. W. H. Rozier was with us in our evening services and preached the baptisimal sermon. His text being Matt. 3, 11.

After his sermon there were six that were baptized by the pastor: We have planned a rally for our B. Y. P. U. on Sunday, we hope all members will be out at 7 o'clock. The Bible class grows more and more interesting and we notice a good many new faces who are anxious to know more and more more about the things of God and those who have any question they would like to ask concerning their soul to come out and have it answered by him, every evening from 7 to 8.

We are as ready ‘as any to lay down the tools of peace- fal industry and take up the weapons of war. : That is as true today as it was in times when no one dared to venture a doubt upon the subject. But we are a peaceful people and great are the pro- fits thereof. Peace has given us indus- try, industry has given us wealth and the leisure for the large growth of the highest and most humane qualities. Our great hospitals and laboratories for medical research, our magnificent [universities and general educational systems, our social and philanthropic ‘activities are the striking proofs that we have become ‘‘Dowered with the hate of hate, :the scorn of scorn, the love of love.”” Also, and in the language of the same poet, we have learned that ‘‘self- reverence, self-knowledge, self-control —these three alone lead life to sover- |eign power.” | Europe today is steeped in the lustof ‘hate because of a lack of that same self-knowledge and self-control. A prince and princess of a royal house | Were assassinated by anarchists, and Austra tewooping to her revenge for the loss of a couple of lives, let loose jthe pent-up savagery of nearly alj ‘Europe, and brought about the slaught- (er of millions. | The assassination incident would not have been sufficient had there not been an accumulation of international hatred waiting to be drawn upon. The Lusitania incident is not suffi- cient to dragi America into the war, | because we have no such accumulation ‘of hatred. Long years of peace together with a healthy abhorrence of the militaristic [ideathave expanded the netional char- acter and eliminated that hatred which marks the less civilized peoples. Some few are still so undeveloped, and so | much the victim of barbaric impulse that they are governed by the tribal |law of swift retaliation. In triba times,it was a case of eatfor be eaten, slay or be slain, but civilization does not call for brutality, except when savage enemy leaves us no othe! method of self-defense. [,, Lesst of all does civilization eal fo la revenge which can orly be accom |plished by punishing the innocent fo |the crimes of the guilty. The mob bing of civilians in our mids in punish ment for the brutality of their kins. men # uniforms across the seas is ¢ descent to the very lowest forms o} savagery. England realizes this, anc has ordered the soldiery to suppress the |rioters, yet it ig this same London mot spieit which is inthe hearts of the jin- |zces who are urging.

C. Reynolds.} RAILROAD NEWS. Red Caps and Pullman Porters [From the serap Book by J. c. Reynolds) Mr,Albert Randree, whose bravery, frustrated one of the boldest traif rob- beries ever attempted one year ago this May. The coaster No, 21 of the South- ern Pacific was just entering the city of San Francisco, emerging from tun- nel No 1, near the Southern Pacific station at Srd and Townsend streets. Tne would-be bandit who flagged the train and boarded the observation car, then covering the passengers with a Big revolver, demanded hands up! ‘Among those relieved of their money and valuables were Messrs, Mat. J. Brady of $50; W. Russell, a former city editor, of a $80 diamond ring and stick pin; M. E. Reed of Paso Robles ‘of $120 in gold and currency; Thomas Stephens, manager of the San Jose baseball team, of a diamond ring, and Charles E, Temple who surrendered his last $5. In the meantime the Pull- man conductor was notifying the pas- sengers anddining car crews who lost no time in “‘beating it,’ all except the third cook, Albert Randree, who arm- ing himself with the ice packer, a ‘wooden club about 3 feet long and about as heavy as a baseball bat, took a posi- tion behind the door of the rear en- trance of the diner, saying “I'll git him.” By this time the railroad de- tective, Willis Garbe and Americo Co- tecci of the local police department, got word of what was going on. En- tering the front entrance of the diner, just as the bandit entered the rear en- trance, the cook disregarding the order to throw up his hands, felled him with a heavy blow on the head. “He went tothe mat’ and ‘‘taok the count.” At the receiving hospital, where he was searched all the money and jewelry was recovered, and when questioned by the officers he gave the name of James Hogue, and said he was former- ly a railroad conductor. Further than this he refused to talkof himself. He was identified by the messenger of the Wells-Fargo Express company who got held up. Several weeks previous “tc this the express company offered a re- ward of $500 for the arrest and convic- tion of the robber. Albert Randree, the cook, got the reward, also a like sum from the Southern Pacific Railroad company, besides a handsome collec: tion from the passengers. Mr. A, Randree isstill employed by the Southern Pacific Railroad company as ared cap at Watsonville Junction, california, on the eoast line.—s. F.
