Sullivan Los Angeles, Cal. (Note—Mr. Sullivan attended the recent sessions of both Houses of the Legislature of California, as correspondent for 20 newspapers and magazines, and has been a close student for many years of social, labor and economic problems, both in the United States and in almost every country in the world. Mr. Sullivan spent several years in the United States Diplomatic Service under President Roosevelt.) On Oct. 26th instant the voters of this state will be called upon to register their approval or disapproval of what is commonly known as the "Non-Partisan Bill" which was passed by both Houses of the Legislature at the third bifurcated session, and which has received the sanction of Governor Johnson. This bill has ostensibly for its object the elimination of elections on party lines of State Officers; in other words, the destruction of Boss Rule. Its purposes are designed to elect men and women to office regardless of their political affiliations in national issues, and that in future (should this law become operative), the only requisite is that those seeking the suffrages of their fellow citizens in this State shall be capable, honest and efficient. That they shall only consider legislation which affects the State of California and in so doing their whole duty shall be to enact laws, and see that they are administered on a purely business basis. The Non-Partisan Bill does not in any manner interfere with the choice of the voters in National or Federal affairs. At the present time most of the cities, municipalities and counties in California elect their officials on strictly non-partisan lines. Few voters outside of the political boss and his henchmen find fault with this method, and it can be truthfully stated that few persons can be found in this State who would return to the "good old days" of party politics. It is an indisputable fact that this non-partisan method of electing men to office has wrought wonderful beneficial changes in the personnel of our office holders. Previous to this method of selecting officials men who would not sell their honor and manhood to the party boss are now found willing to enter the arena of public life, actuated solely with the fixed purpose in view of serving the people regardless of party politics. This is a step in the right direction. The question arises if non-partisanship and who will care to dispute it, has accomplished so much for our municipalities and counties, why not apply it in a more extended manner to matters of purely local state affairs? It would seem to any intelligent mind that there should be no opposition to it. Whence and from what source does that opposition spring? It can be summed up in The California Eagle Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., Oct. 16, 1915 S. P. Dones Realty Company a Live One few words, viz: the Political boss and the Corporation owned newspapers. The Non-Partisan method of election aims to destroy the power and influence of this combination, and no longer can the party bosses meet in secret conclase as has been their custom. and "dole out" the offices to the men who do their oidding. Their corrupt and sometimes profitable avocation will be gone forever, but while this corrupt force is driven out of political life, all the people of this State will be given a free und untrammeled voice in the selection and election of their public officials. Is this "Revolutionary?"—that is what the opponents of Non-Partisanship term it. Of course it is "revolutionary" and the corruptionists will find themselves outside the "breastworks" no longer capable of plying their nefarious practices. They will be compelled to earn an honest living or else resort to other methods. What should be the attitude of organized labor and workingmen generally toward this bill? I will answer this by saying I know too well the intelligence, honesty of purpose and patriotic ideals of this most numerical section of our people to doubt what their attitude will be. They cannot and must not be blind to their own interests. To my mind the enactment into law of this so-called non-partisan bill is the emancipation of labor from the iron heel of the political despot. It places it and those they choose to represent on an equal plane with all their fellow citizens and affords them that opportunity which they have long contended for of aspiring to public office MINUS the tag of the Political Boss. Under this bill their constitutional rights are secure and they are placed in the category of men free, unharmed and unfettered. No longer do they have to make their "peace" with either the Republican or Democratic boss and whom turn are owned by corporate influences. It gives labor for the first time a power not heretofore enjoyed as citizens of a free Republic. It invests them with the same inalienable rights which are enjoyed by the fellow workers in other countries. What claim has the Republican or Democratic bosses of California on labor? What have these self-constituted bosses done for labor? It is a painful chapter in our political history, and it is sad to state that both parties have used workingmen for their own political aggrandizement, and when through the power of their votes they got into power they absolutely refused to carry out their pre-election promises. What constructive laws have they placed on the Statute books of this State to remedy the wrongs which the toiling masses have borne? I have searched in vain to find them. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Let workingmen study the code of laws enacted in this state for several years and Interior of Sidney P. Dones Realty Co.'s Central Avenue Office POOR ORIGINAL carefully scrutinize them. In almost every instance they were inspired, advocated and approved by the present great executive of this State, Governor Hiram W. Johnson. Who were the antagonists of remedial labor legislation in the Legislature? The records are available and the names of the men who fought bitterly in opposition to their interests tell their own story. Who, may we ask, were the men who represented or rather misrepresented, the working masses in this State? They are the same "Standpatters." The very men who were then as now the pliant tools of corporate monopoly and who are opposed to non-partisanship. Their records show that they persistently blocked the legislation designed for the welfare and betterment of wage earners. They were the men who outraged the fair fame of California and willingly yielded to the blandishments of the interests who sent them to the Legislature. In this respect their promises to "deliver the goods" were carefully executed and the bosses saw that they performed their contract. Are the intelligent workingmen of this State, be they Union or non-Union, prepared to continue to be a "tail to the kite" of the very element that prostituted their interests? This question will be answered by their votes next October. I believe that capital has its Interior of Sidney P. Dones Res rights and its privileges, but in conceding those legitimate rights I am unutterably opposed to the methods employed by corporate wealth in crushing the forces which have made it possible for them to acquire it. Capital is its own worst enemy, and the sooner they realize that fact, the better for them. I cannot comprehend by what system of reasoning they advance even their own selfish interests by seeking to curtail the earning power of the toiling masses. To use an old adage, it is a case of "biting off their nose to spite their face." When labor is well paid, prosperity abounds, every known channel of trade feels its influence. I care not whether it be the railroads, the manufacturer, the wholesaler, the retailer, the professional classes, or even the churches. They are all beneficiaries of the wage earner.

By Parson Mack While some critics are discussing whether the Negro is a coming or a decadent race, others are fanning the embers of race hatred, the Negro himself is pushing onward to success in the commercial world, and winning merited recognition for the Race. Our esteemed townsman, Sidney P. Dones, the popular young insurance and real estate man, is now the general agent for the Great Eastern Casualty Co., for Greater Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties, this appointment came to Mr. Dones unsolicited, in recognition of his ability as a local agent. As general agent Mr. Dones will see to it that the members of the Race, as well as others having business dealings with his company, will get a square deal. Mr. Dones also has an agency for the Occidental Fire Insurance Company, below is a picture of the Sidney P Dones Company's well appointed offices at 818 Central Ave. The Sidney P. Dones Co. Offices The above picture presents the busy scene in the office of Sidney P. Dones, the popular young business man and real estateor which teaches an object lesson of thrift and progress in the busi- alty Co.'s Central Avenue Office ness world. To the colored people of Greater Los Angeles. Here is an Important Question. Where are you spending the $60,000 annually for Accident, Health, Life and Fire Insurance? This is a Big Question. Loyal Racemen and Women, what shall your answer be? Are those who write your insurance or collect your weekly premiums helping to build up our Race Enterprises? Are they giving employment to your boys and girls? As a race we must make places for the thousand thrifty young Negro boys and girls that are being trained in our schools. Therefore let Negroes spend their money with their own Race concerns, for as a Race we should teach race pride in giving our support to the struggling enterprises fostered by members of the Race as we must depend upon one another in business as well as socially, therefore, racemen and women, you who are looking for ORIGIN ward to making a place for that Boy or Girl, you should spend your money with the colored insurance concerns. They will make a place for your daughter, after they leave the school room, and not retrograde and finally fill a menial position in some white agent's kitchen, but rather show your race pride by patronizing race enterprises when you are in need of sick, accident and fire insurance. The colored ministry should preach special sermons on the importance of patronizing race concerns. For general insurance, health, life or fire, real estate, call or phone the Sidney P.

Edson is a household name with people of the simple life. Like Jane Addams of the Hull House Settlement of Chicago, she has listened to the cry of humanity and answered it. Like her distinguished prototype, she knows no one in her humane scheme by race or color, she sees conditions and would better them, she sees a laboring, struggling people and she singles out none for special favor. If she has favored any in her noble ministrations, it has been the woman, for she needed most her kindest solicitude. The eight hour law and the minimum wage for women; the sanitary shop and more congenial environments for the mothers and the future mothers in California are due to her effort. The family, the unit of the nation, owes to this noble, unusual and extraordinary type of her sex many benefactions. Unlike Jane Addams and other champions of equal rights, she has found time to be a wife and mother, and from such companionship and frequently onerous duty, she has found time to "make her free to fight for Justice in the courts of mortal man." On the 8th of October transpired the 25th anniversary of her married life, and her husband, Charles Farwell Edson, a distinguished musician who has true poetry in his soul, has in all the years, been to her an inspiration and a help, pays the following eloquent tribute to their complete happiness, "After Twenty-five Years" of self-sacrifice together. A bit of silver streaks our hair today; A touch of frost that makes our hearts more warm; For years are but the figment of a dream That mark our way from sun to setting sun. We count the hopes that never came to bloom And see strange blossoms spring from out our lives; We kiss each others scars and shield awhile The love we bear for those who know us not. The light we follow shines so bright for us THE PEOPLES FORUM the Eagle's k Songs of my soul would lighten woman's toil; Laws of your mind would make her free to fight For justice in the courts of mortal man. Climbing the unknown trail of circumstance We gaze at last upon the restful sea Of love, whose fog mist kisses our tensed cheeks And side by side we smile at what Fate gives, Filled with the beauty of what life might be; Your way to you and my dream to me For both lie in the service that is love. Fortune has been kind to this kindly woman, her fields of human endeavor have been widened by that humane governor, Hiram Johnson—Mrs. Edson is the Commissioner—the moving spirit of the California State Welfare Commission. EDWARD SMITH JONES POET AND AUTHOR One of the greatest pleasures of my life is the meeting and if possible discovering of talent in my own race. Especially am I interested in him or her, who would dig deep into historical records and in rhythmatic verse sing songs of brave deeds accomplished by members of the race. I truly hope that the time approaches when we will contribute the right amount of support and encouragement to such per- Edward Smyth Jones sons as he whom we have in our midst in the person of Mr. Edward Smith-Jones. I consider Mr. Jones one of the best Negro poets I have ever read after. In his ode to Ethiopia there are literary merits that compare favorably with the writings of such poets as Scott and Burns. Many of the leading white journals, such as the San Francisco Chronicle, the New York World and other of similar standing have paid Mr. Jones high tribute as a poet and writer. Mrs J. L. Lott, of Silver City, N. M., is a visitor in the city in the interest of a tuberculosis sanitarium at Silver City Lucius Lee Dead For many years he was a leading undertaker in Atlanta, Georgia. He was well known throughout the South. He was a great fraternal man, and at one time he was one of the sub-committee of management of the Odd Fellows. The deceased was born at Covington in 1850, and after the emancipation he moved to Atlanta and was employed by Jones and Luckey, but later he attended the school of embalming at Clark's university, from whence he graduated and went in business for himself; and for thirty years he did a successful business in Atlanta, Ga., but now he is numbered with the dead.

O, R U able to take twelve boys to the Brookside Plunge? I believe we should avoid making mountains out of molehills. We should bear and forbear, and when dissensions arise we should stop and think and count our blessings, and by so doing I believe we could accomplish more than we can by trying to fight with nothing to fight with. Just remember that the s me person who gave us the Brookside Plunge gave us the Day Nursery. Let us think before we act, and be a Booker T. Washington. Former United States Senator Geo. F. Edmonds of Vermont, is one of the largest tax payers in Pasadena. Burr Harris was executed last Friday, 8th inst., at Folsom. Fourteen people witnessed the hanging.

Greggs who formally accepted the pastorate of this church at Odd Fellower Hall corner 8th and Wall streets, and assumed charge last Thursday evening, October 7th, delivered his introductory sermon to two great audiences that overflowed the auditorium. In the morning he preached from Matt. 10:24, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth, I am not come to send peace but a sword. In the evening his text was II Kings 6:16, "Fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them." The people were deeply increased with these two great and mas- terly sermons, and fifty-one members, including one convert, were added to the roll. The celebrated tenor singer Mr. Harold Brown, rendered a beautiful solo at the morning service, and Los Angeles' gospel singer Mr. Emanuel Hall, thrilled the audience both morning and evening with the selections "Moment by Moment" and "Sound the Battle Cry." Our services will continue to be featured by special music, from the best talent. Sunday services will be continued to be held at Odd Fellows' Hall until arrangements for our church are completed.

GREGG ACCEPTS PASTORATE Rev. 21:3—And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be their God. Now, whereas, we the members of the First Independent Church, sincerely devoted with the earnest sentiment of Christian affection and duty, with minds deeply impressed with duty first to God, deploring the present and impending misfortunes of our former associations in the church militant and having considered the same as maturely as time will permit, do esteem it our duty to make the following declarations. 1. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for the people to dissolve the bands which have connected them with a certain religious denomination and to assume a separate and equal station in Christian work, to which the laws of God and man entitle them, a decent respect to mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impels them to the separation. 2. We, the adherents of this new church movement, divorced of human Potentates, rules and regulations repugnant to the best interests of our Christian lives, believe that all governments instituted among men derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of religious denominational government becomes destructive to these ends, keeping the law of God and His righteousness in view as our rule of guide, that it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to constitute a reformation laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them is believed the safest vehicle to effect their Christian growth and happiness. 3. We declare that we are actuated by the dictates of prudence after long suffering of abuse of power, position or station assumed by church Potentates who disregard the will of the people who created them and upon whom they are dependent for support as Bishop, Elder, etc., and we further declare that this act is prompted by no light or transient cause, but from a long and increasing train of disregard of the will of the people by men in high places, and that it is our religious right and duty to throw off such yoke for our Christian growth and for the benefit of present and future generations, thereby freeing ourselves from the greed and avariciousness of church deposits. 4. First of all, we invoke the blessings of Almighty God on this movement for church freedom, we grant unto God, and for us and our successors forever have confirmed that this church shall forever be free from all demagogic or political rule whatsoever and shall keep its rights intact (the rights of the people prayerfully directed) and its liberties uninfringed upon; that there shall be freedom of the communicants in prayerfully directing the affairs of the church. 5. Inasmuch as for the sake of our God and for the betterment of our Christian lives and for the more ready healing of the discord which has arisen between us and the earthly church masters we have been serving, we here and now grant them our forgiveness, wishing and praying that they may have peace and Christian growth, working faithfully in the Master's vineyard for the salvation of the souls of men such as is the will and purpose of this congregation of men and women who believe in the and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the We believe in the sovereignty of the will of the people; that all preachers and officers are the servants of the people who have honored them saving grace of our Lord and Master. of this Godhead there are three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Whereas, therefore, we have herein published our action and the cause leading up to the same, and having invoked the blessings and favor of Almighty God upon us, pledging our allegiance and our love and faithfulness to His service, with abiding faith in His promise that where a few of His believers assembled in His name that He would be in their midst to own and bless them, we do declare ourselves the First Independent Church of Los Angeles, Cal., and pray God to have mercy upon our souls. We here and now make known to all Christian churches that we welcome you to services in which there shall be no discriminations against those who profess to Love and Serve the one living and true God, everlasting, without body or parts, of infinite power, wisdom and goodness; the maker and preserver of all things, visible and invisible. And in unity with posts of duty in the House of Our God. We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he arose from the dead, he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; and thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. We believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; and the life everlasting. That we hereby tender to Rev. N. P. Gregg the pastorate of this Church. The foregoing was unanimously adopted. The first services will be held at Odd Fell and 7:30 p. m., Oct. 10, 1915.

WHITNEY To the pulpit, press and citizens of Dos Angeles, Pasadena, Redlands, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego: Owing to the fact that it will be impossible for me to write individual letters, I am taking this method of thanking you, and all, for the many kindnesses and the hospitality shown me since being within your gates. It has never been my pleasure to receive so many courtesies from both pulpit and press, and you have done it without any hope of reward. Especially do I want t to thank Mr. Noah D. Thompson and his charming wife, for the many courtesies extended to me and mine. I have much to thank him for the splendid notices that have been given me through both weekly and daily journals, including German, Italian and Japanese. Also wish to thank the federated clubs of Los Angeles, San Diego and Riverside for the splendid entertainments given in my honor through the courtesies of Mrs. Scott of Los An- geles, Mrs. Dinah Henderson of San Diego and Mrs. Gooden of Riverside. The individual ladies who added so much to my pleasure are: Mes, dames Turner, Prince, Moore-Ford, Williams, Dyatt.

Elder Mo-Mickens occupied the pulpit; and all were delighted to hear him again after his vacation. His sermon was expository, from Psalma 37, "Fret Not to Do Evil," In the evening Bro. Garfield Coleman delivered a fine sermon from Hebrews 10:7, "Lo, I come (in the volume of the book written of me) to do Thy will, O God. Innate Banner reporter NOT MANY CHANCES LIKE THIS Rosemont Evening School, located at the corner of Rosemont and Temple streets, is eager that every member of that community should know of its existence, and understand what it has to offer. It is a City Public School, absolutely free and open to all persons of any age or nationality. Classes are in session from seven to nine o'clock every evening except Saturday and Sunday. There are classes from the first grade to the eighth grade. Many persons who could neither read nor write a year ago are now doing splendid work in the lower classes, while the upper grades offer a review to people who have been out of school for a great number of years. Besides these regular classes in reading, spelling, writing, arithmetic, grammar and geography, the school offers sewing and millinery, Spanish, Bookkeeping and typewriting. A well-equipped playground, under the supervision of a competent director, is open every evening. A O Non-Partianship Continues from Page 1 sion and stagnation is the inevitable result. It is sometimes inconceivable to the student of economics why there should be a chasm between capital and labod. Their interests are identical. Both should stand or fall by each other. Both should be bound by the ties of fraternal understanding, and instead of dissension should be welded in one grand organization for the betterment of both and the general prosperity and happiness of all the people. The Non-Partisan Bill is a step in the right direction, its influence for good is far reaching, and it goes a long ways towards bringing around a closer union and a better understanding to the conflicting interests. I repeat, it aims to destroy and will destroy the power of corruption. Non-partisanship gives a fair field to all, and it is only when labor feels its power in the ballot box that the rights which are theirs will ever become a reality; then and only then will Democracy find its level and another step will have been taken for the betterment of society. Labor will then be in a position to compel recognition of their just demands and their cause advanced thereby. To quote the words of John C. Calhoun, "The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices as public trusts, bestowed for the good of the country, and not for the benefit of an individual or a party." This is the issue plain and simple, and who can doubt the result?

Peace! Prosperity! Union! Tom Dixon received ty send off on the construction of his predjudice factory by the Los Angeles Times but the "Black Man and Proud of it" hurled it back in their teeth. Everything is moving along President Wilson's former friend Gen. Villa losing prestige lost our president's favor and now Carranza is the whole show. The East Side Business Men's League is now in embroyo and should prove a great asset to Colored citizens of Los Angeles. Now the balancing power in the last city election without doubt was the Negro vote, that vote went for Sebastian now what has the mayor done for them by the way of recognition. His ante election promises sounded well, but what has he done? Six months have nearly passed. The farcical civil service is still in vogue, with the White and Black list nobody it seems will get a job worth while. So if you are looking for anything akin to the valiant Mayor Thompson of Chicago you will have to go farther than our city hall to find him, The Western Outlook opines that it is a sad commentary and a reflection that the criminal element of the race are on top in that section, and that there is grave danger of a blow up at anytime. These conditions, if they exist, should not be; and it is up to those who stand for the real uplift and progress to assert themselves for these things. We do not for one moment stand for or condone wrong doing. But for every lawful business or enterprise such as are lawful for other races we believe that the members of our race should have an equal show. But for the law breakers, the men who disdain civic betterment and live by dishonest methods, we have no hesitancy in waging eternal warfare against them. Everyone should read the letter of E. Francis who wrote a very pointed letter to the "Times" criticizing that paper for their article commendatory of Thomas Dixon, the human hyena who aspires to fame and riches by creating more race prejudice. The proof of the pudding is the tasting. The recent plum handed to W. E. Easton as a part of the recognition to be given the colored contingent, tastes very, very well indeed. Appreciating the same as we do, we are going to line up so that we may get the second helping. Judge us by our best and not our worse. Education has done as much if not more for the Negro than for the average of other races. It is fast teaching us our limitations, and when education does this it educates practically and thoroughly. We can speak for the Negroes of Los Angeles, and speak with we have well wishers among the whites, and we would have them know we appreciate them. FAR FAMED FIGHTING PARSON EAGLE CONTEST MANAGER Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, the Fighting Parson, with his golden smile, whose great sermon on the subject of the "Eagle Stirring Her Nest" at Big Mount Zion Baptist church, last Sunday evening, has been the talk of the town. All who heard this wonderful discourse have been loud in their praises of the gifted divine, who force of oratory makes him one of the leading pulpiteers of the West. As representative of the National Negro News Services, he is widely known as "Parson Mack," who is one of the most versatile Negro writers whose trenchant pen has made the western world sit up and take notice of the "Brother Black." Dr. McPherson will give one of his timely talks on the "Psychology of Church Advertisement," telling why the average Negro church is empty. The ministers of the city should by all means attend the Ministers' Federation meeting next Tuesday morning to hear this interesting discussion by one of the Race's foremost publicity men. The management of the "California Eagle" has secured the services of Dr. McPherson to manage their big state-wide $25,000 subscription contest which promises to be one of the greatest subscription contests ever launched in the Far West by a race journal. Their slogan 10,000 new subscribers in order to make the foremost race organ west of Chicago. The management plans to put in new presses, type, a big linotype machine, and issue a big 12-page papers with monthly magazine as supplement. To this end we must have 10,000 new subscribers before December 31, so join the Eagle contest. THE NEEDLE CLUB OF THE NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH MAKES GREAT PROGRESS IN NEEDLE WORK. At the two nights' bazaar of last Monday and Tuesday nights the Needle Club at the New Hope Baptist church went on record as one of the first in the art of fancy needlework. On exhibition there were fancy garments of the softest and most beautiful fabric delicately embroidered in the most original and artistic designs; also there was hand crochet of the Oriental type. The booths were beautifully decorated and real gypsies abode in tenest after their own fashion revealing secrets of great moment to the children of God. Less than a year ago the needle club was organized by Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, who is an energetic worker in the club and every auxiliary of the church, and with Mrs. Wilson, the president and the other workers, the affair in its entirety was a great success, financially and otherwise. [A Reception to Rev. Lightner. The public joined in a reception tendered Rev. E. E. Lightner, pastor-elect of the Lincoln Memorial Congregation church, next Tuesday evening, October 12. The reception will be held in the church, 34th street near Central ave. A musical program will be rendered and refreshments served.

The best people in California read the Eagle and San Diego department is in the lime light of the United States, as San Diego welcomes the world. Do you appreciate fully the significance of the above words and the large thoughts they embody? If you do the Eagle will rejoice for such full appreciation brings its own mead of composition to the makers of the great Eagle which sails high in its haste and distractions of your daily life you have not paused long or intently to realize the big ideas these words embody, therefore it is the purpose of the writer to set forth that meaning and to prove it so conclusively that to your full Miss Marie Young Agents for Mother's Scalp 'Too Call Main 1605W Address 1252 Store Street Mrs. E.

The first of all the Eagle has the largest weekly circulation in San Diego further more its circulation is of universally higher quality than any other weekly paper in this region. It is found in the best homes throughout the state as well as throughout the U. 8. People of all classes in communi ties where it circulates are proud that its constituency is typical of the best and highest quality in life in California and it believes that the vital reason for this is because the Eagle itself is typical of the best and highest quality in weekly journalism; The best people read the Eagle, because it is the best paper in every respect it is highly e interprising, extremely entertaining, dignified newspaper with an unparalleled news service and future, the like of which has never before been seen in San Diego or the state. To inform, to instruct, to entertain: all of these cordial functions of a newspaper are encompassed pre eminently in the Eagle and the main spring of the first of these is contained in the broad slogan, don't get the news."

The man that advertises himself will some day have a chance to represent the people. The man that does not advertise himself can only represent himself. The wise business man says it pays to advertise. LOCALS San Francisco, Oct. 11—Gov. Johnson addressed a telegram to President Wilson asking the president to visit California and the Panama-Pacific Exposition before its close in December. Consideration was asked for the petitions of California school children, civic and social bodies asking the president to come. SAN DIEGO, Oct. 15.—The expected rush of harvest-wealthy farmers from the East and Middle West is on, and already a great number have arrived at the San Diego exposition. Many more are to follow. A big number will come on the regular transcontinental trains, but it is believed that the heaviest influx will result from the special farmers' excursions, the first of which will arrive in California October 18. This is operated by the Santa Fe railroad. The train, which will be one of the heaviest to come to California this year, will have about 700 tillers of the soil aboard. At the exposition they will be given a keen insight into California farming through inspection of the model farm on the grounds. In connection with the heavy transcontinental movement which continues, the tour of 1,000 employees of the Aetna Life Insurance company stands out as a feature. The tourists after coming across the country in five special trains have just visited the San Diego exposition. The tour comprises the largest single transcontinental movement of the year, but according to reports of traffic men it will be eclipsed by the several passenger movements just begun in the interests of Eastern and Middle West farmers.

According to an announcement issued at their office, the object of the newly formed company is to present bull fights, boxing events and sports of high order. Thousands of people are crossing the line to see the beginning of the long-talked-of race track. The dirt is flying and the track will no doubt be opened on Thanksgiving Day. The contractor is heavily bonded to complete it by said day. Trains on the San Diego and Arizona railroad from the inland empire will soon reach 8 in Diego. It is hard enough at the best to do anything worth while in this world, with life so short and brain so feeble. To do anything is impossible if you have the eternal question "what will people say?" hanging over you. Pick out your task, follow it, make up your mind to what you are trying to do. Whither you are trying to go, do it, go there. All the thinking of all the others will only hinder you unless it takes a form of constructive advice or criticism. So if there is any task to do, do it. Again The California Eagle has done things that people said could not be done, by having the Eagle delivered in San Diego 24 hours ahead of time, with 2,000 extra copies for The Eagle's Gold Contest. Here is something you should consider when subscribing and advertising: The California Eagle has the largest circulation of any other weekly paper in San Diego or California. It goes into more homes whose occupants can afford to buy the merchandise advertised by the astute merchants in its column; its circulation necessarily is a quality circulation, the kind that has a particular appeal to keen merchants who want to get the best results from their advertisement appropriation. If there is any task to do, Let me whisper friend to you— Do it. It seems as if all the contestants are headed for the Klondike.

One reason undoubtedly is that Europeans know how to entertain tourists. I refer now to the municipal government of the resorts along the Rivera, and it is to these that the tourists flock, particularly to Cannes and Nice. These places make it their business to entertain visitors; they do it all the time and to perfection. Every few days there is something special offered. We think there should be active work done right away throughout Southern California; we should take off our coats and work like beavers to keep our San Diego friend in order to accomplish this very desirable result.

Having just noted the article about our brethren in the State of Ohio and their successful protest against vicious photo plays, as reported in the New York Age of September 80, 1815, it so happened that the crew of men working on the Shore Line Limited train No. 88, were favored with the presence of the Hon. Frank B. Willis, Governor of Ohio. Being alert to take advantage of the opportunity to express their deep-heartfelt gratitude for the Governor's stand in the matter, and to impress him with the fact that the governing heads of all political institutions are being carefully observed as to the stand taken by them in matters of such vital importance to the race, the following is a testimonial signed by the crew and delivered to his Honor, the Governor, and his answer: "To his excellency, the Hon. Frank B. Willis, Governor of the grand State of Ohio, greetings: Believing, as we do, that the good men do for humanity, not only lives after them, but lives while they live. In furtherance of this belief, we convey to you this memento as our signal testimonial, thanking you for the manly stand you have taken in declaring against the exhibition of any play designed to incite race hatred within your State. Lift As You Climb The motive of any civic institution is like the principles of all endeavors is measured by moral adaptability to elevate. There are many rounds in the ladder of civic endeavors, but, the three principal rounds are namely; A desire to unite our moral forces as a social fort, for the protection of our home, business and our churches. True friendship and brotherly love can never obtain this, where selfishness and a desire to promote some private endeavor at the expense of other men's rights. This desire must be nursed, watered and made grow lest it die. We believe the head of this institution has a desire to climb to the highest round in christian usefulness, has lifted the institution, and as the giant oak that sprang from the acorn, is now rich in social benefits. The second round is faith in the system born to the master mind of its executive head, faith is misplaced when centered in men and women only, too many of us are creatures of circumstances and are as good or as bad as we are made, too many people wait for the harness of public sentiment before we move or desire to act. We seldom hear the question asked, what do you think oi me as a member of this or that institution, but instead will ask what do you think about the society, but, you have ceased to confide your faith in the public, but are bent on materializing your faith in systems or methods. You have a vision, though it may take time to reach its heights. Yet you are gradually drawing yourself up to the height of our possibility, and, as you climb you are lifting up a standard for their people not only this but for a coming generation. Thirdly, Self Forgetfulness. No man or woman has climbed very high in the ladder of public service that is thoughtful of self only. Bad boys, who carry rocks, like to throw at something high, civil minded and wicked hearts take exception to your desire to elevate yourself, if you are sensitive these things will draw you to the rear. Brother you have much to bear as you climb, you must remember that as you climb you are lifting up a race that has waited a long time for leaders, with the future of the Dunbar Literary Society is coupled the social and political future of every Negro in this city. We do things creditable in the white man's society, but we must do something with our own society. It is your business to lift men and women, who in turn will lift you, we must climb by lifting our own weight. Our goal is the top round and let every member have this thought in mind, to lift as you climb. We further appreciate and thank you for having men on the state board of censors landing a kind ear to the voice of RIGHT and REASON, who have acted justly and wisely in their decision by refusing the application to show the infamous photo-play—The Birth of a Nation.' May such men as those, like yourself, having the courage of their conviction and the moral stamina to assert it, long remain in office, is our fervent prayer and the wish of ten million or more colored American citizens. Signed, J. W. CARTER, CLAYBORNE STOVALL, J. D. REYNOLDS, et al Dated this 7th day of October, 1915, Aboard train No. 78, Shore Line Limited bound for Los Angeles, en route from San Francisco." "State of Ohio. Executive Department, Columbus, Ohio. (On train No. 78 San Francisco to Los Angeles, October 7th, 1915.) Mr. J. W. Carter and friends, aboard Shore Line Limited: I beg to thank you most cordially for your kind expression of appreciation, relative to the acession of the Ohio board of film censors, in rejecting an objectionable film which unfairly reflects on some of our citizens. I do not favor any action which reflects upon any portion of our citizenship. Yours very truly, FRANK B. WILLIS, Governor And as they sing their country's praise Their hearts are filled with pride; And true it is of much their boast, And yet in past they lied, For Justice stalks all through the For Injustice stalks all through the land. For some there is no hope, And many hearts are filled with strife, List to this warning note: Prejudice, that awful curse That ever kindles hate, Will some day burst into a flame; Be warned e're 'tips too late, For then, Oh! then the fire of hate Will burn an awful flame— The Black, the Brown, the Yellow men, Will gather in its name. Death and Hell will fill the land, Blood and revenge will be the cry; The demon Hate will lead the hosts, And men will curse and fight nnd die, 2 Be not deceived, there is no peace, This land with Hate is rife. The hosts of Hell are gathering now, E're long will come the strife; And never, since the world was known, Will Death, and Hell, and carnage reign As in this land where Pride and Hate Have grown and thrived in Freedom's name. If He Paid in Advance. [With apologies to that pastoral classic "The Old Oaken Bucket."] How dear to my heart Is the steady subscriber, Who pays in advance At the birth of each year; Who lays down the money And does it quite gladly, And casts 'round the office A halo of cheer. He never says "Stop it; I cannot afford it— I'm getting more papers Now than I can read." But always says; 'send it; Our people all like it— In fact, we all think The Eagle is a need.' How welcome his check! When it reaches our sanctum, How it makes our pulse throb, How it makes our heart dance; We outwardly thank him, We inwardly bless him— The steady subscriber Who pays in advance. Meet the Welfare League in Watts. The Eagle having in view the exploitation of its work and the staff evincing a keen interest in the efforts of our people to better their condition in this section, on last Monday evening visited the welfare League in Watts and there addressed them upon the ruling thought of race progress. We found them probably more interested than many of the organizations with similar objects in the great city of Los Angeles. The Eagle in its campaign of progress is now and has been making visits in watts almost daily. In the near future we expect to have a large meeting of the people at one of the churches at which time we shall take up the question of civic betterment and racial progress, we were much pleased and encouraged with our visit on last Monday evening for the attendance and the good things said in behalf of our work, and shall show our due appreciation by trying to live up to the strife and advocated ```markdown ``` G.
