Some Characters Who Figure in Political Arena Of the City. PHONE MAIN 1594 Volume 28 Some C A. H. JUDGE JAMES C. RIVES. Perhaps the biggest, and busiest man on the Superior bench of Los Angeles county is James C. Rives. Big in heart and in the performance of the multitudinous duties pertainnig to his court. Judge Rives enjoys the distinction of transacting the largest business of any Probate court in America, save that of Cook county, Illinois. Grave, pointed, dignified, it will require more than one occasion of business contact to penetrate the sturdy exterior and discover the real heart and soul of the man. But a thorough acquaintance with Judge James C. Rives reveals a well rounded character, whose largeness of proportions broadens with better acquaintance. Judge Rives stands high in the esteem of all the people and received the highest vote for Superior Judge of any candidate in the county, four yearss ago, when re-elected. Judge Rives is generally regarded as being big enough for any position within the gift of the people and was strongly urged to accept the gubernatorial nomination upon the Republican ticket at the last election. Judge Rives possesses a keen knowledge of both state and national affairs and his name has recently been mentioned in connection with national honors. As a partisan there are few men remaining in the Republican party in this section, who could bring as much strength, confidence and support to Republicanism as James C. Rives. JUDGE LEWIS MYERS. During this era of mal-administration of law and miscarried justice the remedy lies in the precaution exercised by the common people in selecting men of known fitness and ability, backed by established character and integrity, to perform judicial functions. The people of Los Angeles county have exercised great prudence in the selection of their Superior Judges. Some of the most eminent jurists of the American bench are to be found on the Superior bench of Los Angeles county. Who, after having come The California Eagle Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., Aug. 8, 1915 in close contact with Judge Lewis Myers, has not become at once impressed with the high character of the man. Those who have had occasion to look up his record have found him to be one of the best prepared men in the country. A graduate, with a record, of the leading law school of America; an associate for a number of years of the late Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin; these superior advantages, augmented by his evident nobility of soul, stamp him as one of the grandest characters of the American bench. JUDGE FRANK M. WILLIS. JUDGE FRANK M. WILLIS. Another strong character upon the Superior bench of Los Angeles county is Judge Frank M. Willis. From a point of continuous service Judge Willis is one of the oldest men upon the Superior bench. Judge Willis might be styled the modern judge in that he believes that it is the duty of society to apply reformatory methods to the criminally inclined rather than consign them to penal servitude. Many a young man, legally convicted of some offense, has been snatched as it were, from the very jaws of death and moral degradation by the prudent and humane exercise of that beneficent system of judicial clemency termed probation. As an advocate of the system of probation, Judge Willis is in a legal sense emphasizing the practicality of Christian civilization, and demonstrating that we are indeed our brother's keeper. Judge Willis is highly respected and appreciated by all the citizens of Los Angeles county, irrespective of race or class. The following news item appears in the Evening Express of JUDGE JOHN M. YORK. The stability of our system of jurisprudence depends upon the character of the men composing the judicial system. Los Angeles county is especially fortunate, in that the men who preside over her various tribunals, are of the highest character and judicial efficiency. Judge John M. York of the Superior court, because of whose superior qualifications, his colleagues have recently honored him with the position of presiding justice, is likewise held in the highest esteem by the common August 5th: "Severely censuring the defendant, Justice Forbes today held John Oguchi, Japanese chauffeur for millionaire A. R. Fraser of Santa Monica, to answer to the Superior court on a charge of manslaughter." The history of the sad killing of little Emma Macbeth is already known to the readers of this paper, and it is also known that a nondescript coroner's jury acquitted the driver without so much as an admonition to the chauffeur to use A JUST JUDGE. less speed in passing a discharging automobile in a narrow canyon pass, in the future. In holding the defendant over to the Superior court Justice Frank R. Forbes showed he had taken cognizance of the fact that the individual at the wheel is altogether too careless of human life. Following the death of little Emma soon afterwards, four little lives were crushed out by the speedy drivers of automobiles. There is no spirit of hate behind the prosecution of the Japanese, but there is a desire to limit the toll of human life paid the incautious driver who is so common on the streets of our beautiful city. Judge Forbes very truly said: "A three year old child could not be expected to exercise the same degree of caution that might be ex- people. Judge York has many admirable qualities. His affable disposition, his evenness of temper, renders a business contact with him one of pleasure rather than regret. The Colored people feel especially interested in Judge York, as they supported him most unanimously, believing that if elected, he would be numbered among those judges whose decisions would be rendered according to the law and the facts presented and in this they have not JOHN H. HARRIS pected from a grown person." He also said, "There were more children killed in Los Angeles county by automobiles than by steam railroads, electric cars and almost all other agencies combined, and that he purposed to deal severely with automobilists appearing in his court charged with having run over children." All honor to Justice Forbes, whose broad humanity means a protection to the little darlings of most parents' hearts. The reception given the great National leaders of new thought at Wesley M. E. church, under the auspices of the N. A. A. P. C. and the alumni of Howard was a success in all but attendance. Dr. Cook and Mesdames Cook and B. K. Bruce should have been heard by every thoughtful person of whatever race in the city. Attorney Wickcliffe's introduction of Dr. Cook gave the distinguished Doctor a spell of ten minutes explaining why he was such "a bear." We hope to have the distinguished visitors again with us before a meeting "chuck a block." [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. DR. C. H. ANDERSON RETURNS FROM VACATION Dr. Anderson, the war horse exponent of the gospel of this section, returns from a six weeks vacation rejuvenated, and is re- SOME NOTED GUESTS OF THE CITY. Among the many strangers and illustrious visitors of the city this week perhaps the party consisting of Mrs. B. K. Bruce, widow of the late United States Senator B. K. Bruce, and Prof. George W. Cook and wife of Howard University, is attracting the greatest attention. Many persons in this city who know of the great good accomplished by these persons are eager to demonstrate their appreciation through some medium for the same. Editor J. B. Bass passed through our city last Sunday night en route to the Odd Fellows Grand Lodge in Oakland this week. Mrs. Sumpter R. Houston and wee daughter has returned to her home in Bakersfield after a very enjoyable visit in the household of her sister, Mrs. James P. Geary. Mrs. M. Marshall of Chicago and Miss Hazel Jones were pleasant visitors at the C. E. Orr country place in Monmouth last Thursday and motored back with them in their new touring car. Dr. J. L. Cohorn, the new pastor of the Second Baptist church, still continues to draw large crowds to every service. Messrs. Lawrence Pollard, John J. McClendon, James P. Geary and William A. Bigly, Jr., went to Fowler last Monday evening to attend the Odd Fellows lodge meeting and election of officers. The following were unanimously elected to the offices: W. M. Leach, N. G.; Walter Patrick, [Name] ceived by his faithful followers with open arms. Dr. Anderson has been for thirty years a pastor in the Baptist connection in this section during which time he has never wavered. Bruce was the luncheon and trolley trip given by the Los Angeles branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The party consisting of Rev. E. W. Kinchen, Mrs. M. Robinson, Mrs. S. Thompson, Attorney E. Burton Ceruti, Prof. Chas. Alexander, Mr. J. H. Shackelford, and the guests, Prof. and Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Bruce, first enjoyed a dainty luncheon at the Cozy Den, and then journeyed by trolley to the San Gabriel mission, where they were shown every attention by the attendants and Mr. McGroarty, the noted author; and al Arena V. G.; Louis Finley, N. F.; James P. Geary, P. N. F.; William A. Bigly, Jr., E. S. About a half a hundred young people motored to Riverview last Wednesday night and enjoyed a very pleasant dance in the pavilion over the river. Misses Zola and Elfleeta Chavers leave within the week for Oakland where they will join their sisters, Misses Madge and Bernice for the remainder of the summer. The German Foot Specialists Colored baseball team crossed bats with the West Park team last Sunday at the Fink-Smith playgrounds and carried off the honors with a score of 9-3. McKinley Moulden of Hanford caught for the boys, who are making great strides toward success under their able capital, Essie Fowler. Nearly half a hundred of the younger set frolicked at the Fairmont club house last tuesday evening, when the Camp Fire Girls entertained at an excellent dansant in honor of the Fink-Smith colored band. The girls were visions of loveliness in their dainty summer frocks and added much to the zest of the evening. Tempting refreshments were served at intervals and the big veranda surrounding the club house was quite an interesting retreat during intermission. Mrs. James Geary is enjoying a visit from her winsome and talented sister, Mrs. Sumpter R. Houston and her wee daughter from Bakersfield. Mr, and Mrs. Townsend L. Johnson are established in a comfortable cottage at Santa Barbara for the summer. DRS. WALKER AND FORD ARRIVE. Saturday morning the two most talked of characters in the Chautauqua connection reached the city. They were Drs. Walker and Ford of Georgia and Florida respectively. Dr. Walker will sound his first note at the Providence Institutional church Sunday morning. Sunday evening both Dr. Walker and Ford will speak at the People's Auditorium, 15th and Central and at the First Baptist church Sunday. The grand opening of the Chautauqua is Sunday afternoon. The public is invited and are requested to co-operate with Rev. A. C. Williams and his assistants in making the affair a glorious success. OAKLAND WOMAN IS THE CHOICE FOR STATE FEDERATION HEAD. We are notified that the ninth annual convention of the California Federation of Colored Woman's clubs was a succession of interesting as well as inspiring events. In our next issue we will publish a detailed account by Mrs. Geo. Brown of Oakland. Mrs. Brown is one of the wide awake women of the North. The Sunshine, of Oakland, says it is the convention city, but we would like to see Allensworth the convention city, and we are going to make it so just as soon as we are sure that we have killed that segregation move that sprung up. There is the place for it. We hope that the time will come when we will look for ability and not sectional doing Mrs. Dodge a ministration, the largest, best attended convention that ever convened. That being true, we believe that the lady from San Diego should have been honored again. When the late T. B Morton came south with a divided delegation, the south said a man and not section is what we want, so we elected him by two majority. Then in 1909, when in that same city Oakland, that matchless orator Mr. Howard of Sacramento, made a bid for the Afro-American council to meet in the capital city, it was like W. J. Bryan's speech in Denver at the national democnatic convention that nominated him for President the first time, he thought he was elected. So when your humble servant, S. B. Carr of Pasadena, rose to speak for Pasadena, they would not hear him for a while, but he waited until all was cool, then he brought the bacon home. But after that time politics killed the Afro-American council, now they let sectionalism kill the Woman's federation. Don't forget that we gave Gov. Johnson 115,000 majority, and Los Angeles county cast more votes than Oakland and San Francisco together and got the man we wanted. We know Los Angeles is larger than San Francisco; just wait for the returns. Let us not make these clubs an iceberg and provoke about as much enthusiasm as a missionary at a sunny base ball game. Let us look for men and women and not a section of our state. All women up rather than one down. The most disgusting thing in the world is to meet a man with his wife and you raise your hat and he not have enough respect for his wife to raise his. A man that has a wife should respect her, and if she is not worthy of it then he should leave her. No race can rise higher than its women. It is said it is a long way to civilization, but we are pleased to say the United States supreme court made one step towards civilization when it declared the Oklahoma grand-father clause unconstitutional. All eyes are on Germany, but she is still sinking vessels. Germany and the United States are contending for the same thing—freedom of the sea. What became of those wise ones that told us some time ago that the war would soon be all over. Tell us, what did they mean. Did they mean it would be all over Europe? Governor Willis of Ohio, says: The principle of the grand-father clause was un-American, unfair and altogether out of harmony with the spirit of our institutions, and the United States supreme court that way also. At Wesley Chapel Methodist church monday evening Mrs. B. K. Bruce spoke. She is the widow of the late Senator Bruce of Mississippi and a cousin of Mrs. H. E. McBeth. She said that all mothers should teach their children to honor the United States flag and we should take part in all public meetings, yet there are some of our so-called presachers who don't want to attend any other church but the one he is the pastor of. The only way to get informed is to find out what the other fellow is doing. You cannot learn anything from yourself. We Wish that Every Mother Could Have Heard Mrs. B. K. Bruce. Example is better than precept. If you entertain rough people in the presence of your children you are damning all your prayers and pious talk. Mothers who allow their blooming daughters to run the streets at night improperly attended have only one thing to expect. What can you expect when the mother is out, she says, serving a party trying to get some pin money, as she will say "my husband can not give me all I want." That is true, but perhaps he can give her all she needs. Here she comes home in the morning, at 1:30 a. m., with a black veil over her face. Husband had to eat at the restaurant; he got home first, but he is drunk. Her daughters were out with some improper attendant, boys at some pool room. Next day she is out telling neighbors how her husband "abused me and my children, and I just can't stand that. The Lord knows that I do my duty." Now, the Lord does not know anything about it. Your home is just the work shop of the devil. Then we ask the question, what will become of our young people? Just let the father and mother do their duty and the children will not depart from it. No race can rise higher than its women. So fathers and mothers do your duty for the boys and girls of today will be the men and women of tomorrow. It is not what we say but what we do that makes us great; it is not what we read, but what we remember, that makes us learn. At the Churches. At the Metropolitan Baptist church Rev. J. A. Fleming will preach at 11 a. m. and Rev. J. D. Gordon preaches at 3 p. m. Rev. Hughes will preach at the tabernacle Baptist church at 11 o'clock; sunday school at 9:30, B. Y. P. U at 6.20 p. m. J. S. Long, superintendent; Rev. W. H. Hughes, pastor. At Scott chapel Methodist the Rev. McKenney, pastor of Mason chapel in Los Angeles, will preach at 11 o'clock at Scott chapel, and Rev. L. G. Robinson, pastor of Scott chapel, will preach at Mason chapel in Los Angeles sunday at 11 a.m. The Ladies Aid society will meet thursday night at Mrs J T Tate's, 510 south Raymond avenue. Brotherhood will meet friday night at the A.M.E. church. Sunday will be big day at the church, the evening will be devoted to education, when all of the graduates now visiting in the city will be entertained. All high school students are cordially invited. There will be a fine program rendered. At this meeting Harold Prince will preside. On the 16th and 17th a mock conference will be held at this church. On August 26 president H.T. Kealing, A.M., Western University at Quindaro, Kansas, will speak. You should hear Prof. Kealing on august 26th. The pastor Rev. Dyatt has been sick more than six months but he is improving rapidly, and it is said he will have a better report this year than last. The church has voted to have him returned to them; he is the originator of all the plans. Now have dollar money as it is but a short time before conference convenes; all are welcome; seats are free. At Friendship Baptist church, since the coming of Dr Riddle, it seems it is another church. He is doing his part to bring union among the people; and too much praise cannot be given Mr J. H. Harrison the chairman of the building committee, and Mr. Van William the treasurer. They have made good. Both of these young men have made a mark in the church. It is said that the first woman handed the first man an apple. We don't know about that, but we do know her daughters have been handing men lemons ever since. The average woman likes to talk about her neighbors almost as well as the average man likes to talk about himself. Pressing clothes and pressing a law suit are two different things. Mrs. Della Walker entertained the Ladies' Aid from the A M E church last thursday evening at her home 283 Willard place. They say it was the grandest affair yet had this season. Mrs Walker knows how to entertain. Pasadena was honored at the Woman's federation club meeting in Oakland recently. Mrs Corine Hicks of this city was made parliamentarian for the clubs, but the northern delegates used the steam roller. Will some one please tell us what is there in Vallajo, Miss Hazel Brown of Santa Monica, reporter, so the LA Post got a job. Church Directory.

As a result of the same, political circles are on the alert for the timber to fill the various positions. The California Eagle, with their branch office now thoroughly established and rendering services to its galaxy of readers will be on the watch tower, to report to our clientage the things taking place which concerns their future progress. In doing this we are assured of the support of the great masses of our people, and of members of the white race, who realize the high standard we have set in journalism and that we are really accomplishing something worth while in our efforts to create public sentiment for the continued progress of a struggling race. We want to do the things and support the measures and men, who will accord the members of our race a greater recognition. We desire to create an ambition of our young men and women, a greater interest in our government, to the end that they may qualify themselves to take positions in the same. It is along these lines that we shall give our support to the various candidates who aspire, and in doing so ask the support of the Colored voters of San Francisco, which in many instances will be the deciding vote both at the primaries and the election. THOMAS F. BOYLE FOR AUDITOR. For auditor of San Francisco county Thos. F. Boyle, the present incumbent, will no doubt be returned for another term, in fact at this time there seems no one with the temerity to run against him, and it is confidently expected that he will be elected at the primaries. Mr. Boyle is a genial and well met gentleman, who has safeguarded the interest of all of the citizens with the greatest proficiency, and they will do themselves credit to continue him as the city and county auditor for another term. SAN FRANCISCO Blackie Williams is down on a visit from Seattle. He is accompanied by John Lucas of that place. The people of the Bay cities are preparing to entertain the host of Odd Fellows which will arrive in the city the coming week from all over the state. Rev. J. H. Wilson is progressing very nicely with his dollar money and with the help of his members and many friends hopes to bring in a banner report. Last week's Eagle was in great demand throughout the city, in fact copies were at a premium. Mr. S. P. Dones, prominent real estate man of Los Angeles, and recent candidate for the city council in that city, will be a visitor to our city this week. G. W. Cook, secretary of Howard University, and Mrs. B. K. Bruce, widow of the late Senator Bruce, were visitors in our midst this week. Dr. W. C. Gordon and party, who had such a narrow escape in auto wreck, left for their home in Los Angeles on last Tuesday, much improved. S. P. Johnson, prominent fraternal man and also in labor circles, is in attendance to the Grand Lodge. Prof. R. C. Jackson, dean of the musical department of Western University, will arrive in the city Monday from Kansas City to direct the big chorus for the 15th street church. Dr. Jesse F. Peck made a flying visit to Los Angeles this week on business. Mrs. Anna Austin, who has charge of the cafe with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. is said to be one of the best chefs in California. She is a true race woman and a staunch friend of The Eagle. LLOYD VERNON The passing of L. Vernon Graye from the business world marks the abdication of one of the most energetic and fastidious men who ever essayed by the dint of his own perseverance to cut a swath and to make real money. Graye always was noted as a man who could keep things moving And had he remained out of the glitter of the white lights he no doubt would have made an enviable record, as one of the race's leading business men. Mr. Graye hails from Topeka, Kansas. He for years conducted the famous Zanzibar at Helena, Mont., the receipts of which were from $200 to $300 per day. Graye was generous to a fault and no man ever applied to him for assistance in vain. When he was prosperous he remembered his friends and was anxious that they should share with him prosperity, by placing them where they could earn a good livelihood. We shall always remember him as a generous and thorough race man, who in his realm would do his best for them, and their enterprises. The writer never goes where he is without looking him up. We were friends for many, many years. Although this effort was along one line, ours another, we appreciate his friendship, and have no hesitancy whatever in chronicling the same. PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN WHO HAS SHOWN A KEEN INTEREST IN THE PROGRESS OF OUR RACE. Philanthropists and men of large business interest have taken a keen interest in the uplift and progress of the Colored race, without whose aid and interest we could not have made the strides that we have, hence surely to know those that have contributed to our success is to highly appreciate them for their interest and worth. Out here on the Pacific coast, where the race of life is probably more strenuous than in any other section, it is refreshing to know that Mr. Hartsook, the owner of the high-class studios over the state by that name, has been one man who has taken a keen interest in the advancement of the young Colored men and women by giving them employment and by giving them a chance to grow up with his great business as workmen and in his office. At San Jose Mr. Chas. Overton, who is well known in fraternal circles, is one of Mr. Hartsook's trusted employees. He is practically in charge of the studio at that place. In San Francisco Messrs. Joe and Oscar Ramey are employed, working at the trade, enjoying good salaries, and with his exhibit at the Exposition Mr. Barnett is in charge. He also employs for his stenographer and bookkeeper Miss Alma Greaves, who started in to work for him at $30.00 per month and now receives a salary of $60.00 per month. Mr. Hartsook also says that Miss Greaves' sister, when she finishes school at San Jose, will be given a place in one of his studios. He evinces great interest in the uplift of the Colored race and says he realizes they have not had the chance, and for that reason he for one is glad that he had been one to create within them a higher ambition and that they can feel that every business hope to them. Mr. Hartsook is a man of large affairs and The Eagle on behalf of the race which we represent wants to assure him and our other white friends of our high regard for their friendship to the race. HOTEL RICHMOND The fame of the Richmond Hotel at San Diego has gone forth throughout the entire country, and as a hostelry it has gained an enviable reputation. It has housed many of our leading citizens from all parts of the country and all are loud in its praises. Mr. Tunis Gordon, the affable manager, takes a delight in making the guests who stop there strictly at home. The large roomy and airy corridors give to it the appearance of grandeur. So parties going to San Diego from any part of the country should by all means write and make reservations at the Hotel Richmond. Mr. Tunis Gordon si the manager and his father J. W. Gordon is proprietor. Mr. J. W. Gordon is the well known pioneer hotel men of the race and is entitled to great credit for providing such a splendid hotel for members of his race. IF NOT. WHY NOT? In the vicinity of Central avenue between 5th and 55th streets, the Colored population is so thickly settled that this section is commonly called the "black belt." For a number of years there were practically no Negro enterprises in this section, hence we have been busy building up Jewish and other enterprises than our own. On Central avenue at No. 930, we have the Empress Ice Cream and Candy Shop, where you can secure not only these delicacies but also light lunches at wee nours. Mr. Gilbert L. Robinson, the proprietor, runs this place on a highly respected order and gives you the very best service that can be secured. His place is artistic as well as very neat. His prices are the same as they are other places. If you are not helping this young man, why not?

Main 2545 McDowell & Rennett On their way to the beautiful and historical Yosemite Valley, Dr. W. C. Jordon, accompanied by his mother, wife, Misses Clark and Whitman, and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Valentine, met with a most hazardous experience. Their seven-passenger touring car, upon reaching an unexpected curve, turned turtle and rolled over an embankment, just five miles out of Placerville. The roadbed, too soft for automobile traveling, caused the machine to skid, beyond the driver's control. Mrs. Gordon, the doctor's mother, was pinned under the car and sustained three broken ribs; Miss Clark a broken arm; Mr. Valentine, one hip seriously injured. Other members of the party, minor bruises. The car was not badly damaged and after driving back to Placerville and remaining in the sanitarium there for three days, all as good natured and jolly as before, motored to the city, arriving here at 3:30 Monday morning, with most pleasant reports of their visit to the San Francisco Fair.

Peace! Prosperity! Union! Peace! Police Judge White is not unlike Aristides who was called the Just. Phew! a newspaper is in a miserable situation that dares not speak the truth because it fears to lose "two dollars." The European war has now entered its second year with no signs of abatement. We should prepare for the real hard times that are ahead of us. Owing to the protest of the Inter-Denominational Ministers' Alliance, the Chief of Police is preparing to investigate the conduct of the Colored Social clubs of this city. We would like to say to every official in this city that The Eagle is anxious to give you credit for all of your manifest justice to the Black folks. And there is a man among you taking notes. Umph! Clunes' announces that the "Clansman" will be back on the boards at his theater soon again. During its last engagement here empty seats were much in evidence. Another showing here will be its timely funeral. Mr. Buckhorne, proprietor of the Buckhorn Feed and Fuel Co., of 2847 W. Pico street, is one of the most progressive merchants of that section. He is solicitous of the trade of all the people and will accord them, one and all, the same courteous treatment. Let the race attend the People's Chautauqua at the People's Auditorium, corner 15th and Central avenue. The program will be the very best. Some of our so-called leaders are too frequently engaged in enumerating "race faults" to the "white folks." They should keep their dirty linen at home; they are only amusing and disgusting the average white man, of average intelligence who listens to them. The city government is in such bad straits financially that in order to have the double platoon in the Fire Department it would be necessary to put several fire stations out of commission. Instead of doing this it is proposed to have no extra platoon, and in order to keep pace with the requirements of this department there is a considerable cut being made in the Street Department, which is working a hardship to members of the race. CHEER UP. We cannot, of course, all be handsome, And it's hard for us all to be good; We are sure now and then to be lonely And we don't always do as we should. To be patient is not always easy, To be cheerful is much harder still; But at least we can always be pleasant If we make up our minds that we will The world will smile back at you. So try to brace up and look pleasant, No matter how low you are down— Good humor is always contagious, But you banish your friends when you frewn. The Negro Caught in the "High Finance" Jamb. With much trepidation a very large number of the colored race watched the grand jury's investigation of the books and methods of business of the Los Angeles Investment company, and they were astounded to learn that the officials of that company had for a number of years been systematically practicing a "bunko game," of returning to each investor a slight proportion of his investment back, calling it a "dividend" from the earnings of the individual's investment. This process of deception had been going on for a number of years and the panic in legitimate business, owing in part to a national democratic administration, whose only forte appears to be to maintain peace in the time of a national peace, threw the L. A. I. Co. into disorder, then came the exposure. But a few days ago a jury has acquitted the larger number of the indicted system, and the lawyers are now attempting to have the decision of the superior court that convicted the three principal "manipulators" set aside. It is probable that they will succeed, as any old thing is possible in this country, except that the Negro will enjoy all of his civil rights guaranteed him under the constitution. Owing to the trickery of these people, hundreds of poor people have been literally robbed of their savings; and sadest of all, trusting Negroes have lost the savings of a life time. In fast all was fish that came to the L. A. I. company's "drag-net;" money was what was wanted, money from the deaf, dumb, blind and crippled, money from the Negro. That there was a single acquittal staggers the imagination. Investment in real estate "stock" has always been "a gamble," and with the number of honorable real estate dealers we have in members of our own race, there is no need to offer ourselves as "easy marks" to be exploited and "gulled" by members of the dominant race. MT. ZION SHOWS APPRECIATION OF SONGSTRESS. Thursday evening within the gates of the Mt. Zion Baptist church an attempt was made by the interested church members to show their appreciation of the life and work that Miss Minnie Albritton has exemplified among them. It was a glorious attempt. That's all we have to say. You know the rest. Furlong Tract Netes. Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

Broadway Happiness Requires, among other things, a General Good Health. Good health requires periods of rest and recreation. It is a remarkable fact that the majority of people are killing themselves by inches in making their life 'all work and no play.' Now that summer is with us once again, our minds should turn to thoughts of vacation. It is very difficult sometimes to decide just where one wishes to spend his vacation. But if you are thinking of going to the seaside, the problem of WHERE to go is at once solved. No more peaceful, homelike, convenient, and cheerful place can be found than LA BONITA at beautiful Santa Monica by the Sea. Clean, comfortable, well ventilated rooms and apartments; a complete line of bathing suits and accessories; hot and cold shower bath; a playground for children; a tennis court; and a restaurant presided over by one who knows how to prepare good things to eat. And remember the following facts:— That La Bonita is only a very short distance from the ocean—a convenience which bathers appreciate; that the tennis court is at the service of the public at all times; that a supper at LA BONITA CAFE will give the finishing touch to an evening automobile ride; that it is the one aim of the management of La Bonita so doing anything that will add to the pleasure and comfort of patrons; and that if you take the Venice Short Line car, you get off at Pico Boulevard (formerly Fremont Avenue) walk one block east and one-nalf block north.

HOTAR LAICENSON LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA On the Various Lines Reaching Al By Our R. R. Correspondents, Author of the Scrap Book, RAILROAD NEWS Car Employee Promoted tor Faithful Services. [By J. D, Reynolds.] The Pennsylvania railroad has seen fit to place at the head of one of their dining cars as conductor J. Berry Smith, an old New York boy, who has been in the service for the past eight years. News comes to us from an authentic source that Berry was given this position for the efficiency he maintained with the company. He was required to give a bond for $5,000. On the same being executed, the company readily turned over to him one of their dining cars under the supervision of the Erie commissary. On investigation we find that there is one other colored man holding a similar position, and his name is John Jones, who is credited with being one of the most able conductors of the New York Central dining car service. There is no doubt in the minds of the Pennsylvania people and all those who know Conductor Smith that he will make good. Long Island Porters' Picnic The Long Island railroad porters' were hosts at Flaherty's Park Thursday, July 15, and a number of prominent ladies and gentlemen representing New York, Long Island and Jersey City were the delighted guests. It was the occasion of their tenth annual picnic, which has for the past nine years been a popular event. It was the signal to get together for an evening's pleasure. True to their past performance they delivered the goods in abundance. Open air dancing was appreciated and many responded to the music offered bp Prof. Gaines' new Amsterdam orchestra. Mr. J. W. Carter, buffet man on the club car of the Coast Lime Limited Parlor car line, between Los Angeles and San Francisco, is a short story writer of some ability. A delegation of leading colored citizens headed by Captain F. H. Crumbly visited the Mayor, asking for an abatement of the Negro club nuisances. The Mayor was in favor of this and primised to look into the situation. Miss Minnie Albritton will soon leave for Boston, to study in the Boston conservatory of music.

[San Francisco Chronicle Aug. 2, 1915.] Blood lust, not justice, is the impelling motives in such deeds as the burning of the Texas Negro suspected of murdering the Grimes children. Revenge is the central idea of such punishment, not the deterrent force of example. Savagery is its source and accompaniment. A man can suffer no greater punishment than the loss of life. Infliction of suffering with death adds nothing to the force of the example. It is merely an exhibition of savagery, indulged to satisfy a bestial love of inflicting pain. We are told that these Texas savages, men and woman alike, waited by thousands while the man was being examined, then took him and thrust him into the flames. He begged for time enough to tell his story, but the blood thirsty crowd would not wait. After the fire had died down the mob vented the rest of its barbarism on the mutilated body. The deed links its perpetrators to the wild Indians. The aborigines tortured his captives and mutilated their bodies. In one respect, however, he was more decent. After the ceremonies of rejoicing for the victory were over the warrior who had slain a fee fasted for days, purified himself, and remained long praying to the spirit of the dead man to forgive him for taking his life. These Texans were not ashamed of their savagery. They carried it out in a brilliantly lighted square, in the presence of their women. If, when the surviving members of the Grimes family are able to talk, they exonerate the Negro, these Texas savages will be even less praiseworthy than they are now—From the Scrap Book by J. D. Reynolds. Los Angeles Morals 'Cleanest in World.' Angeles, August 1.—"Los Angeles is morally the cleanest city of its size in the world." With that statement B. Samuel Steadwell of La Crosse, Wis., president of the international purity congress and editor of "The Light," a reform publication, today added another view point to the controversy being waged as to whether Los Angeles is clean morally. Steadwell directly controverted the statement made by Harry Brolaski of Cleveland that vice abounds in Los Angeles. Brolaski, chief investigator for the American Reform Union, made his statement at the purity congress sessions held recently in San Francisco; Speaking of moral conditions generally throughout the world, Steadwell declared there has been a great advance in the elimination of segregated districts and commercialized vice. Mr. and Mrs. Steadwell and their party left tonight for the East by way of Portland, Ore. From the Scrap Book by J. D. Raynolds. FAMILY TRADE Solicited G. R. VOSS & GEO. W.
