Five Thousand People Gather at Shrine Auditorium in Memory of Dr. Washington LOS ANGELES AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ON LAST SUNDAY PAID TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON — 5000 PEOPLE OF ALL RACES AND CREEDS JOIN WITH THE COLORED PEOPLE IN PAYING HONOR TO ONE OF THE FIRST CITIZENS OF THE LAND. (By J. B. Bass) All roads led to Shrine Auditorium in this city on last Sunday afternoon, and by 2:30 o'clock thousands had gathered, and every car reaching this stupendous structure was loaded to its fullest capacity, bringing the people who were eager to pay their respects to the memory of one of the first citizens of the land, Booker T. Rev. E. W. Kinchen Master of Ceremonies Washington. And when the first chorus had been sung by the mighty chorus of the combined choirs of all the Colored churches of the city, led by Prof. Wm. Bynum, and the invocation had been delivered by Rev. J. Logan Craw of the First A. M. E. Church, Chairman S. P. Johnson of the Citizens' Committee faced fully 5000 people and in the choicest language and the best voice briefly stated the purpose for which the meeting was being held. He then introduced the Rev. E. W. Kinchen, pastor of Wesley Chapel, as the master of ceremonies for the occasion. Rev. E. W. Kinchen at this juncture took charge of the meeting, and in so doing said: "No greater life has ever called men and women together to pay homage to it, than does this life we have assembled to honor this afternoon. "No city in all this fair land of ours will call together a more representative audience than this company gathered here. "A look at these thousands of upturned faces sends a thrill into one's soul and offers such a tribute as any mortal would be proud of. "The world has furnished but few men who could marshal such a oos- J. Logon Craw Eloquent Divine Who Delivered the Invocation mopolitan audience as is gathered here upon this memorial occasion. Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., Dec. 4, 1915 The names of Napoleon and Alexander, the military genii of the age, could not do it, for directly there would come the antagonism of defeated foes; the sound of Luther's name would fail to bring it about, for immediately sectarianism would protest; Grant and Lee, might warriors of the latter date, could not do it, for soon sectionalism, fast dying, would lift its head and give a discordant note; Lincoln, immortal Lincoln, statesman, patriot and world benefactor, could scarcely attract such an assemblage and blend them into one harmonious whole, as is done on this occasion; but, strange as it is that this man, who has been the storm center around whom has gathered controversies and discussions—this man picked up from the lowest strata according to human reckoning—this man who furnishes America's most perplexing problem today that he should cease to be the problem and by his life and marvelous philosophy does not demand respect but commands it; that, as I have said, he becomes not the problem but the key to the solution to many problems. For here today we recognize no North nor South, for seated on this platform is the cleareyed, brilliant Dr. C. C. Selecman, reared in South Carolina and to the manner born, a Southerner and the leader of our Northern Methodism in this city, the eloquent Dr. Charles E. Locke, and yet each one for himself delights to come here and offer tributes of eternal forgetmenots to the life and works of Booker T. Washington. The problem of partisan politics meits on this occasion into one great sentiment, and, that is to do honor to this peerless character, for here on this platform is the first lady f thistainoshrod the first lady of this city—Councilwoman Estella Lawton Lindsey, holding allegiance to one party and yet as ready to pay a word of tribute to this wonderful life as are those of another party. The problem of sectarianism fades into this presence and calls into one bond the combined tributes of that worthy representative of that ancient race to Hon. H. Z. Osborne Who Occupied a Place on the Plat form at Last Sunday's Memorial Services whom the whole world is debtor, Rabbi Dr. S. Hecht, and this daughter of the Catholic faith, Mrs. Elosie Bibb Thompson, and both of them await an opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. Washington's memory. The clan and clash of races becomes a harmonious sonnet as it meets here, and we witness the presence of the representatives of the flowery kingdom of Japan and other races equally fervent in their tribute of praise and admiration as are the members of his own race." The combined chorus of the city, consisting of more than 100 voices, under the direction of Prof. Wm. Bynum of the First A. M. E. Church, then rendered the chorus "I know the Lord has laid His hands on me." With a mighty volume and complete harmony it was a fitting prelude to what was to follow. And then Mrs. Estella Lawton Lindsey, member of the City Council, was introduced. She stated that she was indeed proud to have the privilege of paying tribute to the memory of the great educator. It was indeed a beautiful sentiment she expressed as to his achievements She recited his rise from slavery and obscurity to the exalted place he gained in the annals of the world's history. Dr. Charles E. Locke, pastor of horses, being high-strung, plunged the First M. E. Church, the true and tried friend of the race, was the next speaker. He delivered a remarkable address; he spoke of his acquaintance with Dr. Washington, and placed him along with Washington, Lincoln and other illustrious sons, as benefactor to his country. Dr. Locke made a plea that our race should not despair; that in the fruition of time the Negro, who has more than made good, will come into his own; he exhorted the Negro to live up to the principles advocated by Booker T. Washington, and that even though he had passed away, the things which he stood for will live forever and ever. Rabbi Hecht was the next speaker. He, too, paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Washington and expressed himself as feeling highly honored with the privilege of being one of the participants of the service. He spoke of his early acquaintance with Dr. Washington, when he was pastoring at Montgomery, Ala.; at the time Mr. Washington was starting his school at Tuskegee, when he helped in an humble way the school in its incipiency. He also mentioned an occasion when he was nearly mobbed for his views expressed in a sermon which ran contrary to the prevailing opinion in the Southland at that time. His address was an inspiration to all. The sentiment expressed by Rabbi Hecht on this occasion was a fitting tribute, not only to the Colored race, but likewise to his own. Hall Jubilee Singers was the next number. "Give Us Another Booker T." was the title of the song they rendered, and to say they scored a mighty triumph is but putting it mildly. The rich and melodious baritone voice of the great singer, Emanuel Hall, rang out as if inspired, and his colleagues, it seems, took up the strain, which was in turn transmitted to the mighty gathering present. It was a great and tense moment, and these sweet singers scored, as stated above, a mighty triumph. Mrs. E. E. BARR, former teacher at Tuskegee, was the next speaker. She spoke from personal knowledge of the traits of Dr. Washington and his fatherly care and great concern for Tuskegee. Her high appreciation for Booker Washington, gained by her years of association, was revealed in her pathetic tones. Attorney C. A. JONES' address was a highly creditable one, in which he eloquently portrayed the great achievements of our great chieftain. His effort was indeed well worthy of the man and the occasion, and Mr. Jones was congratulated on all sides for his masterly effort. The Ladies' Quartette rendered sweetly the song "Since You Went Away," by J. Resamond Johnson. Mrs. ELOISE BIBB THOMPSON was the next speaker. Hers was indeed a touching eulogy on the life of Dr. Washington. Her address was a literary gem, and was delivered with dramatic effect. Mrs. Thompson was at her best on this occasion and acquitted herself with highest credit. The great chorus sang with telling effect one of Dr. Washington's favorite folklore songs, "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot." Rev. W. J. J. BYERS, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church, was the next speaker. He awakened the great audience to the greatest enthusiasm in his forceful plea to live up to Dr. Washington's standards. In the Daily Examiner's account of the service they devoted much space to his remarks, which we are publishing in another column of this issue. Mr. D. E. Luther, secretary of the white Y. M.C.A., was the next speaker, who spoke of Dr. Washington's great worth. Mr. Luther also expressed himself as feeling highly honored for the privilege of saying a word on this occasion. Rev. W. H. TILLMAN, pastor of St. Paul's Baptist Church, spoke of his intimate acquaintance with Dr. Washington, and delivered a splendid address of his life's work. Rev. Tillman spoke at a disadvantage owing to the lateness of the hour; the vast crowd was growing restless, but his address was a gem and no one who heard it could help but appreciate the same. The last speaker was Dr. CHAS, SELECMAN of the Trinity Baptist Church. His speech was indeed a fitting climax for the flow of oratory of the day. Himself a true representative of the Southland, he brought the greetings of the same, and the bouquets which he cast at the bier of Dr. Washington, and the things which he stood for, were indeed and truly beautiful, and from every expression it could be seen that they were flowers as fresh as they could possibly be, and were plucked from the conservatory of his very heart. Dr. Selecman's address on this occasion will be long remembered, and all who heard him we are sure appreciate the same to the utmost. The chorus sang "Steal Away to Jesus." The Benediction was pronounced by Rev. A. C. Williams of the Providence Baptist Church. And thus did Los Angeles citizens pay their tribute to the memory of BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. WORDS OF PRAISE FOR THE SOARING EAGLE I have just read in your paper the funeral memorial services held in honor and respect for Dr. Booker T. Washington. During the hour in which the friends and family were pacing the last respect to him at Tuskegee, Alabama, I thought as I read the same, that it mattered not how many faults or how much you may chastize each other, there is among the race people living in Los Angeles a spirit of race pride and appreciation for the betterment of the race that does not wait to see what the rest of the world will do, but if a project appeals to you as the right thing to do for the best interest of the race, you are dictated to by the heart only; such a spirit revibrates throughout the country and reaches the hearts of other race loving people and like a wireless message our hearts re-echo the wish to be one of you. The daily papers of the bay coast cities paid great homage to Dr. Booker T. Washington, both at his passing and also his funeral. In speaking of his demise, they had editorials requiring nearly a column of space. I am quoting the first part of a few for the consolation of the race living on this faraway western coast: The Oakland Tribune: In the death of Booker T. Washington America loses one of its most valuable citizens; the colored race the greatest individual, incomparably, it has ever produced. Booker T. Washington's value is estimated as it should be in every case in the service he did for others. San Francisco Chronicle headed its editorial: "A Good Man Gone—The Death of Booker T. Washington Is a National Loss." The editorial then said: "Few men have lived whose life was so useful to others as the life of Booker T. Washington has been to the people of the United States. Allied by birth to the American and African races, his service has been equally advantageous to both. His death is a national loss. It will be found difficult to think of one whose place in the world will not be more easily filled." This editorial has so many more delightful truths I wish I could give it in full; but I must proceed. The next I am quoting is from the San Francisco Bulletin, headed: "South Mourns Over Death of Negro Teacher. Passing of Booker T. Washington regretted. Negroes and whites all over the South are mourning the death of Booker T. Washington." The San Francisco Argonaut, a very high class weekly magazine that has an extensive sale not only all over the United States, but in every part of the world, and is considered an authority on National and International issues, had a very fine editorial. I am quoting the last part of the same, as I think it will help those who did not realize that Dr. 1887 Washington was a great man among men to fully understand; it will also explain many other points some do not remember. "Ten years ago or more Mr. Andrew Carnegie made direct provision of a fund of $100,000 for Washington's personal benefit. At the time it was predicted that, being thus removed from the possibilities of individual necessity, Washington's energies in behalf of Tuskegee would suffer a decline: But not so. Up to the time of the day of his death he gave to the Institute the same unwearying devotion that he had given it in his own days of poverty. It is not too much to say of Booker Washington that the example of his Tuskegee school affected profoundly the educational fashion of the country. Twenty years ago a distinguished man wrote to a famous college president asking if he knew where a white boy might get precisely the training afforded to Colored youthc at Tuskegee. The inquiry startled the educational world in the sense that it exhibited the practical deficiencies of our system. The effect of it was to stimulate the industrial and vocational idea through the country. It is probably due to Booker T. Washington that today many of our public schools are combining practical training and industrial discipline with scholasticism." I think the Argonaut paid a fine tribute to our deceased leader. The last speech Mr. Washington made, a few days before he fell ill, he delivered before the American Missionary Association in New York. In this last speech of Mr. Washington he made his strongest appeal not only for industrial education, but for a higher education. The address is so earnest, so full, so soul inspiring and love for his people, and a plea for unity of purpose among all mankind for the betterment of his people. The address is like a lamentation of a distressed soul, and it is no wonder that after its delivery he should lay down life's burden, thereby sealing his last forceful plea for his people. This society, before whom Dr. Washington was speaking, has done much at the P. P. I. E. to place the Colored people before the world in their true light; for instance, it has displayed pictures of all the different Colored schools it supports, and they have displayed statistics showing the development of the Negro graduates from their schools, showing how they in turn have established institutions for the betterment of the higher needs of the race and how their chil- dren have developed to a higher plane of living. They have also circulated booklets written by colored people who were graduates of their several schools. Last Saturday week was known as Lincoln day at the P. P. I. E. The parade was headed by the 24th Infantry of the U. S. Army and contained one thousand Colored soldiers who marched over the grounds to the music of their own band. Kinney Smith, the band master, is from Springfield, Ohio. Three of the most valuable and highly insured pieces of needlework in the Stockton exhibit is the work of Colored girls—namely, Miss Lueola Rodgers, who has two exquisite Mexican drawn-work lunch cloth and center piece, and Miss Helen Hart, who has a dainty French embroidered night dress. Yours for the race. DR. J. BEASLY MISS HAZEL GOTTSCHALK CELEBRATES 16TH BIRTHDAY Last Friday evening about thirty-two of the younger set gathered at the residence of her parents and joined Miss Gottschalk in the celebration of her 16th birthday. The girls came in most cases chaperoned by their parents, among whom were Mrs. M. Patton, Mrs. S. Thompson, Mrs. Sims, Mrs. Hamilton. The color scheme being pink and white the house was beautifully decorated in carnations, toning beautifully with a background of delicately woven ferns. The color scheme was also carried out in the refreshments, which consisted of pink and white ices and beautifully designed assorted cakes. Miss Gottschalk also wore a pink silk gown, simple in design, but beautifully befitting the number of years she celebrated. It was a beautiful affair, and many beautiful tokens marked the high esteem in which Miss Gottschalk is held by her friends. Thanksgiving was observed throughout the country. Those who were minus the turkey to be thankful for, consulted the book of Job and received consolation. Wants to change the name of Tuskegee Institute to Booker T. Washington University. Cicera Simmons, who is a graduate of that school and is now teaching at Tucoon, Arizona, says the people of that state expect to conduct a nation wide campaign for the change. Prof. Simmons is behind the movement. It is a good move. Now let the California Eagle start a monument fund. This is what the Pasadena Evening Star said about James Moore, a senior at the high school: He played another stellar game of football at Long Beach Thanksgiving day and came nearer making a touchdown than any other player on the team, when he took the ball 30 yards down the field against Long Beoch. There are two colored boys on the high school football team, the other is H. Davis and he is some player also. They beat Long Beach 6-0. How many are they on the high school teams in Los Angeles? Young Moore is the son of Prof. and Mrs. J. C. Moore of this city. The funeral services were held from the A.-M. E. church Monday at 2 p. m. of the late Silas Minfield who died Friday at his late residence, 880 Lawrence street. He was a native of Alabama, He came to this city about six years ago from Florida. He was a member of the the A.M.E. church and was in the express business in this city for sometime. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. Goosby, and five grandchildren and a widow, all in Pasadena. Mr. Minfield was a reader and a lover of papers and he will be a great loss to us he was a christian gentlemen. Rev. Dyatt officiated. Rev. and Mrs. D. R. Jones was in the city Sunday.

The memorial services held at Friendship Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 under the auspices of the citizens of Pasadena churches. Many spoke: Rev L. G. Robinson, Porter Ballard, Wm.

THE SEGRETARY SPEAKS The Negro Tax Payers' and Voters' Association of Pasadena is now entering in upon its second year's work, having succeeding in weathering the tumultuous storms of the past year. We are yet in the ring. This association was organised for the express benefit of all the negroes in the city from a moral, social and political standpoint, whether or not they ar affiliated with it. It seems to be under- Conveniently located at 537 Broadway.

It has no political side materially other than during political campaigns when a certain candidate comes up for election who expresses himself as favorable to a dependent race, as we are. We are in line to support such a person; then and only is this organization political, and it does not even dictate to its members to support such a person, but leaves it to their own discretion. Would you term such a body a political one? These issues that are constantly coming up and are due to come up must be met with stubborn resistance in a legitimate way by all the negroes of this municipality, and we cannot expect to accomplish anything of importance if we are not of one mind; and again, there is no use talking about what we must do when one side is antagonistic to the other. This body was organized to bridge this chasm, and would you lend us your support in helping to put a span over it. Conservative persons would not stop and ponder as to whether they should associate themselves with this body, for they well know that such laws as are present of a discriminating nature effect us only, and it behooves all well wishers and progressive people to unite with us against these injustices that are heaped upon us. We can do nothing without strength numerically—then why stand aloof? Whether you are a member of this organization or not these same laws effect you—at the same time you may be a friend of some of these law makers—that so long as your skin is black you are ill-concerned. We intend or attempt to show to the dominant race that we are worthy of some things that are elevating from an intellectual standpoint. All we wish is an opportunity to demonstrate our ability along these many lines and that until we are given fair play—which will come only when we are united—can we even hope for proper representation in an intelligent way.

C. Hollwedel for the very important position of Commissioner of Public Works. This is indeed one of the most important offices to be filled at Tuesday's election, and it calls for a man of experience, not only in large business affairs, but in public life as well. Mr. Hollwedel possesses all of these qualifications, and his record has been one that appeals to all fair-minded people. As to our people, his past record towards them is such that we have no need to fear but that he will give to them in his department ABSOLUTELY a fair deal and due consideration. In speaking to the editor of this paper he said: "We have here in Santa Monica a splendid class of Colored citizens, who by their efforts to DO SOMETHING and to acquire property have proved themselves a useful part of our citizenship," and that he would give to them in the conduct of his office the same consideration as to any other citizens. Mr. Hollwedel made an enviable record as member of the Council for two years, during which time he never missed a regular or special meeting, but could always be found on the job, safeguarding the interestss of the people. The following platform has been promulgated by Mr. Hollwedel and speaks for itself: My stand on matters likely to come before the commissioners will be as follows: I do not believe in putting through expensive improvements the cost of which may mean practically confiscation of abutting property, nor in assessing any property for an improvement from which it derives no benefit. I do not believe in high license for buses, either local or running between here and Los Angeles; I will vote against using the general fund or any part thereof for the assistance or benefit of some favored friend, individual or corporation, or the diverting of any fund or appropriation to uses other than for which it was originally intended, and further I intend to vote against any attempt to overdraw an appropriation unless an extreme unforeseen condition arises and to keep the expenditures in hand in such a manner that there will be sufficient funds available to the end of the fiscal year; that I will not be a party to any attempt to dodge the true intent and meaning of the charter provisions by purchasing anything or entering into any contract so to do, by means of leasing or paying therefor on the installment plan; that all petitions and appeals will be given due consideration and decisions reached in an impartial manner; to see that a fair and equalized assessment is applied to the whole city; to see that no firm or individual is called upon to pay any more than the cost of his license to do business in those lines where a license is required, and I am opposed to any form of license for the conducting and carrying on of any legitimate business "other than those requiring police supervision," as I believe in free and open competition for the benefit of the consumer. In connection with the street work, I would see that all streets were kept in good repair by a systemized method, and that instead of washing away the streets paving by the daily water sprinkling process on the oiled streets, I would treat them to a coating of oil and gravel or sand every four or five months at less expense; that a fair distribution of the street cleaning force be made to all parts of the city; that the corporation yards be brought into and maintained in a ship-shape condition, and that all property of the city be kept in good repair to preserve the same. The Man For the Place VOTE FOR n. J. Eng FOR of PUBLIC SAFETY YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE Election, Tuesday, December The Civic League of Santa Monica is a new political organization which has been inaugurated and has took an active part in the present campaign, having held several meetings during the past several weeks, the editor of the Eagle attended their meeting on Thursday evening at which time we addressed the meeting and to say that the gospel we preached was enthusiastically received is putting it mildly. Enthusiasm ran high. The people were out in large numbers. Mr. G. W. Smith is president of the League. Mr. W. M. Dudley is secretary and Mr. E. Carter, secretary. WILLIAM J. ENGLAND FOR COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC SAFETY For this office there is no man who is better fitted and understands the need of the great masses than W. J. England, prominent business man of Ocean Park. Mr. England, it can truthfully be said, is a man of the people. He has worked his way up from the bottom and as a result he is in a position to know the needs of the people. He is a man without prejudice and the colored voters we are satisfied would find in him a man who would absolutely stand for a square deal for all. Without any hesitation whatever when an Eagle representative called on him to place his card in this, the organ of this people, he said that he was glad to show the recognition to the colored people. Mr. England is a man, who if elected to this position, will know no color race or creed and will give to all the very best that is in him. He is receiving a strong support from all classes and conducting a winning campaign. INAUGARATE A WOMANS CIVIC ORGANIZATION Mrs. J. W. Moxley, Miss Brown and other leading women of Santa Monica have organized a womens league for the purpose of making an organized effort toward helping out in civic affairs. The club has a membership already of more than fifty and is destined to accomplish much good for the race in this community. Mrs. Moxley is one of the most prominent of race women in California and has served several terms as president of the Federation of Women's clubs of this state. DANGER AHEAD. Our people should give a wide berth to the candidacy of such men as F. A. Butzer, who is making bids for their vote. We can say that in such men there is danger ahead. Mr. Butzer is so prejudiced that he could not put his card in a colored paper. S. L. Berkley probably means well, but a vote for him will also be wasted. Vote for live oues if you wish peace, prosperity and union. We have only the kindest words for J. C. Steele. He is a man that appreciates the efforts of our people to rise and does not hesitate to help them do so. The Civic club will hold their final meeting Monday night and endorse their ticket. J. w. Moxley, pioneer. business man; is still on the job and making good. Mr. Hollwedel is recognized as a strong factor in the race for commissioner of public works, and is worthy of the support he is receiving from all classes. Wm. H. Carter, who is a candidate for commissioner of public works of Santa Monica, is known to all as a man who is in every way qualified to hold this import ant position. He will receive a strong support from all classes to the position to which he aspires. Dr. Kinchen says Chairman S. P. Johnson got scared and had business elsewhere when he saw so many people. But it was a joke because S. P. made good all the way. Rev. Kinchen, as master of ceremonies, was the right man in the right place and made good with a vengeance. The Hall Jubille singers covered themselves with glory when they sang, "Give Us Another Booker T." It is estimated that nearly 5000 people were present at the great meeting. Everyone was much pleased with Councilwoman Lindsay's address. The one who says "I did it," will get no credit. The affair was big enough and grand enough for all who did anything at alk to share the glory. One man who got peeved laid down on the job. He saw it going thru with a whoop, then tried to jump on the band wagon in a nice way. He was put off. Now, he must have been a small man. The citizens' committee met Monday evening at the G.M.C.A., heard reports from all committees settled in full all bills, after appointing a committee to draft resolutions to the family of Dr. Washington, distinguished guests who appeared on the platform and adjourned sine die. The following committee was appointed on resolutions: James Vana, Dr. W. E. Kichn, Eugene Walker, Mre. B. R. James, J. B. Bass. FRESNO. One of the most beautirul weddings of the season and one that was of interest to a large circle of friends, was that of Miss Sadie Alice Watkins and Henry Sims, which had its setting at Bethel A.M.E. church last Wednesday evening. The bride, who was given away by her uncle, Benj. J. Watkins, was a vision of beauty and loveliness in a creation of white duchess satin. The bridesmaids were very attractive in gowns of pink and messalaine and chiffon of the same tint. The Rev. C. E. Edwards read the marriage ceremony. A reception was held at the residence of the bride's mother. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sims are occupying a neatly furnished house in Sacramento street. PORTER SHOWS THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC MANNER OF DOING THINGS From Wm. F. Baker, president of Crow's Nest Lumber Co., Ltd., Wardner, B. C., to Superintendent Allan Pollock of Dining Car Department: "Believing that you will be pleased to hear of especial good services rendered by your employees, I am prompted to call your attention to the fact that the porter on buffet car No. 3080, on a recent trip from San Francisco to Chicago, showed that your confidence in him is well placed. "The writer gave him a $5.00 gold piece through error in the dark for a newspaper. The porter himself did not learn of this until several hours later, and then hunted me up and returned it, at the same time refusing to accept any reward, saying "It was the Southern Pacific's manner of doing things." "This little act of loyalty to the Company's interests upon his part I felt could not go unmentioned. Hence my reason for addressing you today." J. M. Acty is the porter referred to by Mr. Baker. He has been with the Company since 1912. The Southern Pacific is one of the biggest institutions in the West. It has between thirty and forty thousand men on its payroll. It pays more taxes than any other Pacific Coast corporation, and it patternless home industry whenever possible. ```markdown ``` Elect T. H.

We have one more week off of the time that we must stand for Woodrow and hard times. No real big man will do small things, he cannot afford to be small. Any real good republican will bring home the bacon for the people in November 1916. Our Get-together propaganda is moving on. It is sweeping away the debris, the little cheap and selfish man has no place in its ranks. Its slogan is "OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, and FOR THE BEOPLE." Jack Johnson as an ex-champion seems to have the ups on Jess Willard, the Fungo Champ. Wherever Jack goes in London thousands swarm around him. Here in Los Angeles it is not generally known that Willard is in town. This is because the people do not regard him as the real goods. They regard his championship with suspicion, especially since he was so quick to draw the color line. He knows it is not the color, it is the gait of the Black phalanx that he cannot stand. He has the color line for a shield only. THE MEMORIAL SERVICE A HIGH CREDIT We doubt very much if there is a city in the whole universe that excelled in magnitude the great meeting held at the Shrine Auditorium on last Sunday. And through the exploitation of its Negro Press and the get-to-gather spirit of this people, there is no reason why that here in this bailiwick we should not excel in putting into practice the great principles which Mr. Washington advocated. This memorial in honor of the memory of Booker T. Washington was indeed the greatest inspiration for racial progress and all of the things that go with it, for the uplift than any dozen meetings which has ever been held in this city and we therefore feel that the loyal race men and women of this section should congratulate themselves on the splendid success and real good which should be the result of the great memorial service in honor of our departed l'leader, Bookter T. Washington. WM: H. CARTER CANDIDATE FOR COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS Wm. H. Carter, present Superintendent of Streets of Santa Monica, is known by every citizen thereof as a man who would faithfully perform every duty assigned him, and there is no question, if elected to the position which he aspires to, he will give to every citizen, regardless of color or creed, a fair and square deal, and this is all that can be asked for or expected. The following brief and concise excerpts are, in part, sentiments expressed in his platform; As Superintendent of Streets of the City of Santa Monica it is necessary for me to spend from ten to fourteen hours each day in performing the work of that office. Therefore, it is impossible for me to meet personally any considerable number of the voters of the city; in fact, it is impossible for me to visit many of those I know well. For this reason this pamphlet must speak for me. As a candidate for the office of Commissioner of Public Works of the City of Santa Monica I am depending upon my own qualifications to perform the work of the position and not upon the real or supposed weakness of the others who are asking your support for the same office. I have not and will not make any combination with any of the candidates for the other offices—this campaign is to be conducted independently. I place my reliance upon the people of the whole city and not As volunteers during the American war and later in the Philippines campaign he received the written commendation of superior officers. As a construction chief on the Los Angeles Aqueduct, when he never had less than 85 concrete workers under him, he earned a record for efficiency that is on file in the Los Angeles City Hall. When he left his position in the Street Department at Venice to become Street Superintendent at Santa Monica the Venice authorities were loath to lose his services. As Superintendent of Streets at Santa Monica for the past three years he has earned the right to ask you to believe in him and support him as a candidate for an office of greater responsibility. A clean record, experience, and the intention to serve ALL OF THE PEOPLE AND NOT A FEW RECOMMEND WM. H. CARTER. GIVE WHAT YOU ASK: FAIR PLAY! The Eagle, in justice to Mayor Dudley, desires to say that at the time that the black rope incident some months ago, that we made a special investigation of the affair and it was explained to our entire satisfaction. We are noted for going after the things which reflect and humilate our race and had this incident not been explained satisfactorily, we would have in no uncertain language, paid the offending party our compliments. So, in justice and fair play as we would wish to be dealt by, we would say to the colored voters of Santa Monica to not oppose the mayor on these grounds. If you are opposed to him, let it be on higher ground based on truth, when a newspaper devoted to the races interest passes on these things. We go to the bottom of the same and hence we know whereof we speak. NATIONAL NEWS NOTES Brief Bits of News and Comment on Men and Measures THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION Washington, D. C.—Hon. Charles D. Hiles, Chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee, announces that many candidates for the Republican nomination for President next year are entering the field for the pre-convention contest. Among those mentioned are Former Senator Elihu Root of New York; Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa; Senator William E. Borah of Idaho; Former Vice President Chas. W. Fairbanks of Indiana; Former Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio; Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts; Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan; Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas; Senator L. Y. Sherman of Illinois; Former Governor Myron T. Herrick of Ohio; Governor Charles S. Whitman of New York; and H. D. Estabrook, a prominent and eloquent lawyer of New York City, who delivered the principal address at the annual meeting of the Advertising Clubs of America held in Chicago last June. From now on it will be interesting to note how prominent Colored men of national reputation "line up." It is said that Hon. Charles W. Anderson, who has just been appointed Supervisory Agent of the State Agricultural Department, and Hon. Fred R. Moore, of The New York Age, appointed Minister to Liberia by President Taft, will support Governor Whitman; Former Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis of Boston, will support Senator Wicks; Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor of the Navy Department, under Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, will support Senator Burton, while George A. Myers and Editor H. C. Smith have not yet decided whom they will support. As a rule, however, it is expected that the leading Colored men in the various states will follow their "favorite sons." The Southern leaders are against any candidate with "lily-white" leanings, and are already at work "sounding" their candidates. PREVIDENCE AND PROBILITION Columbus, Ohio.—The National prohibitionists who have their headquarters in this state are waging a warm contest in Ohio for statewide prohibition; while a similar contest is being conducted in the adjoining state of Illinois. Colored leaders opposed the movement. In this state, as in the South, every effort was made to appeal to the prejudices of the whites in the large cities by the statement that the prime object of the league is to force prohibition on the blacks, without depriving any white man of his "nipples." The Cleveland Advocate the leading newspaper THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE'S GREA SUBSCRIPTION CONTEST On account of a strong protest from our San Diego patrons and contestants, our prize contest will not begin until the close of theirs, about January 1st. We will receive entries until January 15 and then the race will start. From the inquiries which we have received and the entries already at hand we can assure all who are interested this will be the greatest contest ever put on by a race journal. Now is the time to groom your candidates and get them ready for the start. First announcement of entries, December 1st. field, Illinois, Leader reports that the Personal Liberty League, a Colored organization, and the Colored women of the state opposed most strenuously the effort to fasten prohibition on the state through the medium of face predeities. Atlantic City, N. J.—The national board of directors of the Anti-Saloon League of America, which met here last summer, adopted resolutions urging Congress to submit "to the people" a prohibition amendment to the Federal Constitution, "so that they may determine whether they want national prohibition." Now this is extreme ingenuousness or downright hypocrisy. If there is one thing above all others that never should be adopted except by a vote of the people, it is prohibition. Without overwhelming public sympathy and support, a prohibitory law is the most useless and impotent thing on earth. It simply weakens the whole body of law by creating disrespect for law. People cannot and do not respect that which they see wantonly disregarded every day; and that is precisely what happens when prohibition is imposed without the overwhelming support of the people. If they can get the states to consider amending the Federal Constitution in the interest of National Prohibition, the next step will be to follow the present leadership of Congress—the John Sharp Williamses, the Hoke Smiths, the Vardamans, and the Ben Tillmans, who also want the Constitution "amended" by repealing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments—fruits of four years of fratricidal strife. It is a strange coincidence that Southern leadership should be fighting so furiously for nation-wide prohibition and the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments at one and the same time. UNITED STATES INVOLVED IN LIBERIAN ROW Washington, Oct. 26.—The African republic of Liberia, founded as a refuge for American freedmen, has become the center of a controversy between the Allies and Germany which has involved the United States. The British government discovered that a Liberian company financed by German capital had erected a powerful wireless station at Monrovia, the capital. A cables connects Monrovia with Pernambuco, Brazil. German representatives in various parts of the world have been sending messages to German agents in Pernambuco, who relayed them to Monrovia, from where they were transmitted by wireless to Germany. Great Britain protested against this unneutral course of the Monroviian government, but received little satisfaction. A British man-of-war was sent to Monrovia. The president of the republic, Daniel Howard, at once sent an appeal to President from committing further violations of neutrality. In compliance with this suggestion Secretary Daniels has ordered the cruiser Chester, to proceed to Monrovia. In addition, the State Department has deemed it expedient to send a new minister to Monrovia to replace George W. Buckner, who is Ill. The man selected is James L. Curtis, a prominent Colored Democrat of New York, who will start at once for his new post. Liberia as a result of the development of wireless has assumed an importance which the belligerents have not overlooked. In the development of this African state the American government has always manifested a peculiar interest. This government some years ago joined with Great Britain, France and Germany in taking control of the finances, military organisation, agriculture and boundary questions of Liberia. An American was appointed in charge of finances and he was assisted by English, French and German deputies. It is apparent, therefore, that the United States has a moral responsibility for the conduct of Liberia, which may prove embarrassing. If Liberia persists in permitting German agents to use the wireless Great Britain will have sound reason to take action. It may be necessary to notify Liberia that if she continues to violate neutrality the United States cannot continue to give her moral support. Before this stage is reached, however, it is probable that naval officers serving on the Chester will assume control of the wireless station at Monrovia. This could be done, of course, only if requested by the Liberian authorities. NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS CONVENTION IN PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 15-17 "Freedom Centennial Week," the week ending Dec. 19th, 1915, and including Dec. 18, which is the exact fifth anniversary date of the enactment of the Thirteenth Amendment, has been chosen as the time, and Philadelphia, chief city of the state of Thaddeus Stevens, where the Declaration of Independence was framed and declared, has been taken as the place, by the National Independent Equal Rights League for its eighth annual meeting. This League, which started in 1908 on a protest against the Brownsville discharge and won most fame by its protest against Federal segregation to the face of a Southern Democratic president who broke his pledges, believes that this real fiftieth anniversary year of freedom should end with a civic observance by means of a great National meeting, together in conference of the Colored people of this country. The League calls upon the Colored people in every city to observe locally the semi-centennial of the Thirteenth Amendment's enactment in church edifice afternoon or evening at the League's request.

Mr. M. T. Laws, business manager of the California Eagle at San Diego, and his brother-in-law chauffeur, Mr. McJones, at the wheel of his own big racing car, leaving the Eagle office in San Diego in front of the Grant hotel with the weekly news, after missing the Santa Fe fast mail train. His running time was three hours and forty-five minutes and the distance 127 miles, and the first time any such event was every attempted by any weekly newspaper. The Masons of San Diego have awakened and secured one of the finest and convenient halls in the state for their meeting place. This hall is located at 6th ard Market streets, with all modern conveniences, which will also be let to the various colored organizations in the city, and can be used for entertainment purposes as well. Mrs. Hattie Freeman and Mrs. Anna Benton opened the first event with a debate and concert for the benefit of the Bethel A. M. E. church Thursday evening, December 2nd, which was largely attended. Everybody showed their willingness in assisting the church in its indebtedness. The Eagle is always willing to do its part in these events. Mrs. Rev. Harvey and son arrived last Thursday, November 25th, from her former home in Missouri, and reported one of the most delightful trips she had ever had and that the people were so congruous she hardly missed the time; that passengers all extended little favors to her and her little son, and that San Diego has not been misrepresented from a beautiful standpoint, and that she has found the people here so lovely that she has fallen in love with them all at once. On arriving at the church she asked her son if he knew the voice that came from within, as Rev. Harvey was delivering his first Thanksgiving sermon in San Diego, as his words seemed to tremble the earth. She was met at the station by the manager of the California Eagle and escorted to the parsonage in the auto of Mr. Hannahs of the Richmond hotel, Mr. Teddy Thomas, Miss Rebecca Hutchinson and a party of friends were entertained at the Savoy theater Monday night. They opened the first criticism, but as every act was so interesting they could not decide as to which one was the best, as the six "Peaches and a Pair" was a screamer. The audience became enthused over Winzer & Palmer in "Just Tips." Those who missed the sight missed the treat of the season. But watch next week's bill. Mr. H. C. Gafford, 120 28th street, who has been employed by the Pacific Telephone Co. for the last two years and a very active member in church circles, called at the office and subscribed for one year. Mr. John E. Scott of Mexicali is here for a few days visiting the Fair and looking around for a business chance. Mr. Scott is an old resident of Los Angeles. Mr. L.

Miss Beile Robinson, who has been visiting friends in San Diego, has returned to her home in Oakland. Miss Robinson conducts a first class rooming house at 916 Center street in the latter city. While here she became a subscriber for the California Eagle. Mrs. Price, aged 62 years, jately of Oakland and one of the old settlers of San Diego passed away last week and was buried December 1. She leaves a son and several daughters to mourn her loss. Miss Emma Mead of Chicago is visiting Miss Carrie Cassy and Miss F. O'Neil at 1029 K street. Clarence Dodge was the center of attraction last Thursday night in demonstrating some of his fancy steps when it comes to cleverness he was right there with the new floor manager. Rev. Mrs. Robinson called at the Eagle office and paid her subscription. She also reported the sale of her former property on Greeley Avenue. Mr. Robinson is employed as a red cap at the new Santa Fe station, where he has made many friends since being in the emdloy of said company. Mrs. I. L. Benuett left on the 3 o'clock train Thursday after receiving a telegram that her mother was not expected to live. Mr. Bennett is one of the marked bishops and deroa of the A.M.E. church.

Wilkina, J. Morris, J. Davis Rube Foster and the American Giants. Miss Head, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the hotel, expects to soon leave for Buenos Ayres. Miss Ferall, who brought back the honors from the social last Thursday night, surprised them all by her graceful dancing. Mrs. Hannahs, who spent the fore part of the evening at the Exposition, came tipping in the hall at high noon in an evening gown of sweet sixteen and was on pivots, as she did not get in on the first dancing program. Had it not been for the assistance of her little Stanley she could not have reached home at that. Tunis Gordon, who has been too busy to leave the hotel, was seen the next day with tears in his eyes, as Mr. Hannahs had awakened from his coma and surpised everyone that knew him. As for the new dances, why, he was right there. Mr. Gordon was heard speaking about the swell chop-suey dinner that some lady had prepared, and wishing that he could have one of those dinners every day. When it comes to oratory and debating, William Jennings Bryan and Champ Clark are not in it. You should have been in the lobby of the Richmond hotel last Sunday and heard the two orators, J. Davis of Los Angeles and Rube Foster of Chicago on race problems. Beginning from a conversation of Booker T. Washington, the names of Paul Laurence, Dunbar Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln B, K, Bruce, J, M. Lynch, Prof. Langston Fergerson of Texas, W. Easton, Bob Owens, and many others, Rube Foster in his range of excitement rose with the row as if he was pitching a ball against the Pantages, and he claimed that he himself was a greater race man than Booker T. Washington. And Mr. Davis, who was firm with lots of his good logical sayings, held the Chicago pitcher to a no hit and no run score. Miss Minnie Cook of Juniper and Commonwell streets, enter- 1 bained several of her friends at a Thanksgiving dinner last Thursday. Covers were laid for nine. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Manuel and two daughters to New Mexico, Mr. and Mrs. C. ```markdown ``` Norwood and daughter, and S. S. Alexander. They were royally entertained.

Pillows, who has been demonstrator for the Pacard Auto Co. for many years, was among the first as usual to pilot the official car into San Diego Thanksgiving day. Mr. Pillows has been one among the first in the opening of all the state highways throughout California. He was a special guest of H. W. Meadows at the social last Thursday night. Mr. McJones of Los Angeles, brother of Mrs. M. T. Laws, made a special trip to San Diego with several of the staff of the Evening Herald of Los Angeles, where he has been employed for the past ten years. After spending Sunday in Tia Juna, Mex., he left for his home. He became known in San Diego when he made the first dash with news of the California Eagle to Los Angeles with instructions to break all records at any cost. Wisdom comes not from the multiplication of spoken or written words. Wisdom comes from the performance of duty, and in the silence. Miss Ophelia Ellis of Coronado seems to be on the island all alone it would be advisable for some handsome and wealthy young man to apply through the silver strand for position as handy man around the island or to help to feed the rabbits or something of the sort during her lonesome hours. Dr. Gordon and wife, Dr. Sommerville and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Valentine spent several days in the city and enjoyed their stay, while here they were guest at the Richmond hotel. Prof. W. S. Brown, while in the city is staying at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Brown on Front street, He is in the employ of the Imperial Wine and Liquor company, Mrs. Short of Henderson Kentucky, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. E.W.

Walker' System Guarante d Hair Grower JOHN J. MILHOLLAND Noted Sociologist Declares That Disfranchisement of Southern Negroes Is Ingratitude to Race That Has Done Much for Humanity. "Today the negro of the South is, to all intents and purposes, disfranchised. In the vast region south of the Potomac, wherein reside the overwhelming majority of ten million colored citizens of the United States, negro suffrage is a negligible quantity. It is practically abolished. Why? Because the negroes are poor and ignorant? Certainly not. The census of 1910, which is the only one I have at hand, shows out of four million colored voters, fifty per cent fully literate. Of the 181,000 registered negro voters in the state of Alabama, more than 73,000 could read and write. More than 11,000 of these colored citizens owned their little farms. Nearly 3000 more were part owners. More than 56,000 were cash tenants, and nearly 24,005 were share tenants. There were fully 1000 colored male teachers in the public and private schools of the state. There were colored merchants, bankers, lawyers, editors, physicians and ministers to the number of not less than 5000 in all. Yet, of all this vast army less than 3000 of the 181,000 voters—that is less than 2 per cent—have been allowed to vote since the alleged adoption of the new State Constitution, which from the standpoint of equity, if not of law, is not worth the paper upon which it is written. Why, Dr. Booker Washington himself had admitted that to vote at all he had at times been compelled to vote the Demecratic ticket. In Tallaposa county, with a colored population of more than 2000, only one negro was allowed to vote in the entire county. Even negro principals of colored schools were denied registration. "Just think of it! Eleven millions of American citizens denied representation in the Cabinet, in the courts or Congress, or scarcely in the Legislatures of the various states, and taxed oftentimes unfairly, and always unrepresented, the very issue upon which the revolution of 1776 was pased. No other people in the United States are discriminated against in this way. The Irish, the Germans, the Norwegians, the Poles, the Jews and even the Indians are represented in the government, but not a colored Congressman has been in Washington since George White was driven from public life in consequence of the Washington mssaece years ago. This is defensible, and all this chatter about negro denomination is too silly to talk about. It is on a par with the defense of lynching, when every court from the Potomac to the Rio Grande is entirely in the hands of white men. "To put it forth as a necessity for the protection of Southern womanhood is hypocrisy gone daft. Any man familiar with conditions knows that where one white woman is attacked by the conventional 'black brute' there are a thousand girls seduced by white men- "It is not a question of virtue, but ambition for power, power in the state and power in the nation, that constitutes the driving force of the anti-negro crusade, and has been ever since the war. There is no race prejudice in the South. It exists only in the North. In the South there is only caste. "The negro is not physically repulsive in Dixie—quite the contrary. If the negro were physically repulsive, then how do you account for the tho or three million mulattos, octoroons and quadroons? It is almost impossible to find an audience of real black people anywhere in the South. "Instead of being held up before the world as a race of lawless rapists that have to be lynched to a. Consisting of J. D. Reynolds, et al. be held in subjection, the South should erect a monument to their honor. Why? By the way in which they guarded the wives and families of the masters, who were fighting to hold them in bondage. By proving false to the trust, they could have weakened the Southern armies and aided in their destruction. How? By attacking the women. That would have brought back the Confederate army by the hundreds and thousands. S far as we know, not a single case is on record. The idea is not an idea of a Northerner, but was expressed to me only a month ago by Colonel John Temple Graves, a Southerner, and one whose loyalty to the Lost Cause is unquestioned. "It is time for the South to wake up, for the new South to assert itself. Think of a race that can reduce its illiteracy from 99 per cent to less than 40 per cent in fifty years, notwithstanding all the obstacles that have been thrown in the way. Why, the public school system of the South had its origin in the black man's rule. It was the celored people who started the first public school in the South. What! 'The Clansman?' It is the most infamous pervision of history that has ever been presented to the American people, in its attempts to defy the Klu Klux Klan with the lynchers of the reconstruction period. The only difference between the Klu Klux Klan and the lynching mobs of today is that the Klu Klux Klan worked by night, but their successors, grown brazen, work now by day. I know all about this clatter of abuse of power Possibly the negroes, reveling in their new found freedom, went to excess just as white folks have done under similar circumstances. But if every dollar stolen or wrongfully appropriated by the negroes while in power were turned into gold and put in the scale and weighed against that stolen by the white political rings of New York and Pennsylvania, it would kick the beam so high as to make your head swim.—From the Scrap Book: By J. D. Reynolds. Mother's Obituary. Mrs. Nancy Snellson Brunson was born in the state of Georgia Sept. 16, 1849, and died in Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 26, 1915, at noon, aged 66 years, 2 months and 10 days. Her mother was Caroline Tyson, and like the late Booker T. Washington and many others, her father was her mother's master, and he cherished great fondness for this child. Her mother served for many years as cook in her master's house and little Nancy was brought up in her own father's family as maid to her step-mother mistress at the same time, being under the constant care of her own mother, who lived in the family. Nancy was married to the late Dr. Floyd Snellson in 1865 near Americas, Georgia, and while he was superintendent of the famous national seminary of the union soldier at Andersonville, Georgia, she did the laundry for the union officers and distinguished representatives of the Freedman Aid bureau, who were early on the field in the interest of Southern education and re-construction. Her husband at this time appeared there, took advantage of the opportunities of the night school by light wood knot fires add did the best he could in securing an education. In the year 1877 she, with her husband and family of three children, was sent to the A.M.A. as superintendent to eleven missionaries to Seira Leon, West Coast of Africa. Broken in health in 1880 they returned to America and resumed their former work in Liberty county. In 1888 her husband was given a tract of land at Warcross, Ga., where a High school was erected with her husband as superintendent until eis death in 1904. A SIMPLE BUT TOUCHING SERVICE Last Sunday was an historical day for the First Independent Church of Christ. The many newly appointed officers consisting of eighteen men and women were installed into their several offices. The ladies were simply gowned in white, while the men wore plain clothes. The great audience seems to have caught the inspiration, and joined heartily in the solemn service. The funeral of Mrs. Nancy Brunson, who died Nov. 26 at her residence, 2164 East 14th, was held last Thursday afternoon at the Tabernacle Baptist church. Her brother, Rev. S. Nelson, formerly connected with the A. M. E. Conference of this state, came from Chicago to be present at his sister's funeral. In paying final tribute to Mrs. Bronson, Dr. Gordon spoke glowingly of her highly favored Christian life and of her excellent family connection. Mrs. Joseph Bassett, 1346 east 33rd street, is on the sick list, we hope for speedy recovery. PIANO "Pupil of Henry Dellasfield New England Conservatory; Boston, Mass.
