This Is The First Edition of Our Big Christmas Number That Will Come Out Next Thursday MOTON MAY BE TUSKEGEE HEAD Rumor Has It That He Will Be Cho- nored Booker T. Washington's Speculation is rife as to who will succeed the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as principal of Tuskegee Institute, and although three men of marked ability—Maj. R. R. Moton, commandant at Hampton Institute; Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, and Warren Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee Institute—have been prominently spoken of, there is a well defined rumor afloat that Major Moton is to be chosen as the new Tuskegee head at a meeting of the Board of Trustees to be held at Tuskegee Institute this month. It is said that Seth Low and his colleagues are unanimous in the opinion that Major Moton is the logical successor of Booker T. Washington, and that the Tuskegee faculty shares a similar view. The opinion prevailing that it was Dr. Washington's wish that Major Moton be selected to succeed him as principal appears to strengthen the prediction of those who forecast the selection of Major Moton. Although not generally known, about two years ago Dr. Washington offered Major Moton the assistant principalship of Tuskegee Institute, a position which it would have been necessary to create. However, the commandant of Hampton Institute respectfully declined the offer. The rumor that Major Moton will be chosen as Tuskegee's next principal is said to have placed him in a most trying position, as some of the trustees of Hampton do not take kindly to the idea of losing such a valuable official, while others, although not pleased over the thought of having Major Moton leave Hampton Institute, believe that should he be chosen by the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute it would be his duty to accept the principalship and enter into a larger work. No effort has been made by Major Moton to secure the position. Booker T. Washington's probable successor is 48 years old and married. In the death of Dr. Washington he became the best-known Negro educator in the country. He was born in 1867 in Amelia County, Va., and entered Hampton Institute in 1885. He was graduated in 1890. In 1908 he became secretary of the Negro Rural Fund Board: Anna T. Jeanes Foundation. He is president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, trustee of several Negro institutions and is vice-chairman of the National League on Urban Conditions. For nearly twenty-five years he has been commandant at Hampton Institute. Major Moton was a life-long friend of Booker T. Washington and accompanied the great Tuskegeean on many tours through the various states which were taken to observe the progress of the Negro as well as inspire him to better things. Major Moton is a writer on problems of race relations and a speaker of uncommon ability. Major Moton holds a most delicate position at Hampton. In the school community there are pure Negroes, mulattoes, Indians, Northern white people. Southern white people—all working for the same great cause—the elevation of the race. It is no easy matter to harmonize all these types, and yet so rare is his tact and so true is his judgment that each group gives him enthusiastic support. Booker T. Washington has said of him: "It has been through contact with men like Major Moton that I have received a kind of education no books could impart. It would be worth a trip to Hampton just to know Major Moton. If more of our Southern white people could see him, so calm, so unostentatious, so unpresuming, and yet so efficient and thorough, they would never say again that the Negro race could not produce a pure-blooded leader." THE NEXT BOOKER T. WASHINGTON? There Will Be No "Next" Turn to the tenth verse of the thirty-fourth chapter of Deuteronomy and you will read these words: "And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom The California Eagle Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., Dec. 18, 1915 the Lord knew face to face." I commend these words to all of my race and the white race who are asking: "Who will be the next Booker T. Washington?" Let us have done with speculation and answer the question in the light of history: There will be no other Booker T. Washington, although he will have a successor. To Each Man His Own Work To Each Man His Own Work When Moses passed, there was no other Moses, although there followed him a great Joshua who was "full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him." When the mighty Elijah—prophet who could call down fire from heaven—was swept from the earth by a charlot and horses of fire and a whirlwind, there was left no other Elijah, although the sons of the prophet exclaimed, when they saw the waters part at the behest of Elisha: "The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha." And we might follow history and find the same results every time. Each man who does his own work to the best of his ability makes it impossible for any other man to duplicate him. Each man has his own work—fills his own place. When the late lamented Frederick Douglass was stirring the Nation with his orations against slavery, it was the period of agitation, and we needed an agitator. When he died the period which needed him had also died; and the period which followed him needed a builder and pacificator; and God, never at a loss for a man to do the work needed to be done, created Booker T. Washington. Dr. Washington did not try to be Frederick Douglass. He simply took the love of his race which Douglass had and added it to his own vision of work to be done for the world—yes. I mean world; and he died not the second Frederick Douglass, but Booker T. Washington, master statesman and builder of his times. What Is the Next Period? I do not know what the next period in Negro history is to be; and I shall not pay too much attention to the views of selfish souls who with oceans of ink and worlds of talk set themselves the task of showing us what is next to be done. I believe that the new prophet will meet in the street called "Straight," just as did Saul of Tarsus, a disciple who will reveal to him what the Lord wants done, in the same way that Mr. Washington was given vision to see the needs of his race while others guessed and talked. Watching the play of M. Washington's activities, through the years, and valuing his judgment for the future in the light of his vision of the past and the splendid results he secured for his race, I believe the next period is to be one of business expansion for the Negro. After he had built the great Tuskegee University—the word "Institute" is no longer correct, with its doctrine of economic fitness first, Dr. Washington began the second great step in putting the race on its feet; that is, he began solidifying and correlating the business interests of his race; and through the National Business League he had begun the same scientific campaign for business development which he had waged in favor of industrial education. But just as God said to David that although "I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth;" "Thou shalt not build a house (temple) unto my name," but "A son shall * * * build a house for my name," in just the same way I believe that God decreed that another man shall take up the work of emphasizing business development—the last great work that was on Mr. Washington's heart. Young men who plan to do work for the race would do well to think over the paragraph above. Selfish Honors Seekers Need Not Apply Dr. Washington builted well; and his fame is secure against all newcomers. He was unselfish and unhating. The men who wish to be remembered as the world will remember him must remember that races and nations do not mourn when selfish seekers of honors die. If they want to be like Dr. Washington they must serve all the people with sweetness of heart, singleness of aim, harmlessness of purpose, humility of soul and devotion to God. In the race for honors, no selfish seekers for honors need apply. ISAAC FISHER. SOUTH TURNS TO NEGRO COOK Big Revival in Dixieland of the'Olds Fashioned Southern Cooking— Foreign Help Has Failed (Special to The New York Age.) Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 8. The South is again turning to the Negro cook, and old-fashioned dishes such as only "Aunt Dinah" can serve, are very much in demand these days, according to a correspondent of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, who writes from Atlanta, Ga., giving the following account of the latest revival in Dixieland: "The South is planning a revival of the old-fashioned Southern cooking, and with it the old-time Negro cook—the best in the world, any colonel will tell you—is coming back into her own. The French chef has been tried in the South, together with the French waiter, but, except in a few rare instances, they have failed to satisfy the peculiar demands of the Southern epicure, or even of the tourist who, coming South, expects dishes peculiarly Southern, and the kind of dining room service that the trained Negro waiter can give. Great Demand for Negro Cooks "The demand for capable Negro cooks is greater than the supply. Cognizance of this fact has been taken officially by Rock Hill, S. C., where a cooking school for Colored women is being conducted, the expenses being borne jointly by the people, through the public schools, and one of the local public utility corporations. The only objection ever raised to the Southern Negro cook is that she is wasteful, and this, it is hoped, will be overcome through the cooking school. In Georgia it is planned that the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs lend its aid to the revival. "The French chef, the German baker and the skillful Jap have all had their chance in the South. With the opening of each new and pretentious hotel there comes down to Dixie one or the other or all, and after a few months they, with the retinue of French waiters that came with them, wend their sorrowful way back to the East or West. They cannot compete with Aunt Dinah's fried chicken or her chicken pie. Their rolls of varied shapes do not take the place of her corn bread and muffins; their sweet potatoes aren't as sweet as Aunt Dinah's. "One large Southern tourist hotel is advertising now that it employs no foreign help in the kitchen; that the cooking is all done by Negro women. Still another has as a feature of its service a little kitchen in plain view of the dining room, where Aunt Dinah is preparing fried chicken. "The South may be wholly reconstructed in many ways, but the Negro woman cook is far from losing her place or her prestige." LIVELY TIMES AT THE FORUM Last Sunday was a lively one at the Forum. Oratory reigned for a while on the club proposition; the body decided to father the movement for a general mass meeting at one of the large churches on Sunday, the 26th inst., to take up for the benefit of the Mayor and Police Commission the club question. These authorities are anxious to learn the sentiment of the Colored people on the "social club" proposition; such was the report to the Forum. J. P. White, who had charge of the Sanitary concessions at the Exposition in Frisco, arrived home Sunday. He leaves Wednesday to take up the same work at San Diego. Will Alexander, after a four months' visit to San Francisco, arrived home Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. A. Mathews, from Salt Lake City, are the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Thornton of 1596 West Thirty-fifth place. Mr. and Mrs. Mathews are greatly impressed with the Angel-City and may make it their permanent home. SOLDIERS ARE GENTLEMEN To the Editor of "The Examiner": Sir: Just a line for worthy mention: The writer, accompanied by a lady, while within the Exposition gates Sunday last, observed two gentlemen standing at the head of a certain stairway allowing to pass unhindered some five or six women and their escorts, as well as my own companion, themselves patiently awaiting an opportunity to descend; the gentlemen in question wore the United States military uniform — so loathsome to many of our peanut-minded "citizens," as they desecrate that inheritance and possession. Again, that same day, when our non-observance of surrounding circumstances would have occasioned personal collision, our path was cleared with a punctuality of action and unhesitating election, characteristic of only military men; in this instance by the colored troops now stationed at the Presidio. During the fire-works display five troopers of this same regiment vacated a bench that three women and a youngster might enjoy that form of comfort and rest. Is it upon this character of men we, and the feminine folk particularly, shall continue to heap civil ostracism? W. WATT. San Francisco, Dec. 1, 1915. Mme. Hattie Wilson Tabourne Madame Hattie Wilson Tabourne The above is a good ikeness of Madame Hattie Wilson Tabourne, who for the past eighteen years has been connected with the leading hair dressing establishments of Southern California. Mrs. Tabourne was for the first eleven years of her career, employed by the noted hair curist. Madame Weaver Jackson, one of the most exclusive hair dressing establishments on the Pacific Coast. Madame Jackson had as her patrons, some of the most noted professional people of America, and while in her employ, Mrs. Tabourne was permitted to serve them. For the past seven years, however, Madame Tabourne has been in the employ of the celebrated hair cultivator, Miss Frederickson and has made good, bringing to this establishment many of her former patrons. Madame Tabourne is a representative in class of whom the race has a just cause of being proud.

Hite the Waldorf Hotel and Cafe continues to please even the most critical, both from the epicurian standpoint and as a cafe, a place where one can go with the very best of surroundings and the high est class entertainment. At this time Mr. Hite has on his list such high class entertainers as Mr. Eddie Gray, the Chicago phenom—also Mr. Clifford Richie, with Miss O. Prince, pianist. The big hit of the Waldorf is Thursday evening, which is Souvenir night, at which time a valuable Souvenir is given to each lady who comes out.

FIT TRIBUTE PAID PIO NEER PREACHER Last Tuesday morning the funeral of Rev. Chester H. Anderson passed slowly along the busy thoroughfare of Los Angeles, and from the appearance of the great throng that followed on passersby hesitated and even stopped to wonder, who it was that had passed to the beyond. At the First Baptist church where the services were held even a greater gathering awaited the arrival—and as the organ pealed forth with its grim funeral dirge the body arose as one man, and all heads were bowed as if to say, "Thy will be done." Rev. Mitchell of San Diego was master of ceremonies. On the rostrum was a great concourse of ministers representing all the denominations of Los Angeles. There were resolutions from every department of the New Hope Baptist church, the Y. M. C. A., the Second Baptist church, Friendship Pasadena Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, by the president, Mrs. S. B. Strickland, and remarks by Rev. A. Lively, Revs. W. E. Kinchen, W. J. J. Byers, Rev. R. D. Arline, Moderator, H THE PEOPLES FORUM Number 45 r That Will B. Thomas, Deacon Brown of the First church, Revs. Houghes, Washington, Tillman and a solo by Rev. A. C. Williams. The main eulogy was delivered by Dr. J. D. Gordon of the Tabernacle Baptist. Before beginning his discourse Dr. Gordon explained to the audience that had it not been the request of the deceased he would gladly have refrained from the task imposed upon him. Then taking his text, "He that believeth in Me shall never die," the theme of which was love, in ten minutes' time the attention of the great audience was transfixed upon the speaker, who it was unanimously declared delivered the greatest funeral eulogy that was ever uttered in Los Angeles. Dr. Gordon declared that there was no such thing as death, and pointing to the corpse of Rev. Anderson that lay before him, he said, "Bro. Anderson is not dead; he but sleeps. This bit of clay that is here before us is the house forsaken by him." Death, yea, the very sound, suggests fear for the man or woman who has not launched his or her hope in Christ went on the speaker, "but to the person whose life is favored with the love of God that makes him like his master for him there is no fear of death. And then turning to his brother ministers who sat about. Rev. Gordon pleaded for greater love among the brthtren. With the expression of 'his soul beaming through his face he urged the family that was left behind not to grieve over their lost, but to prepare to meet him in the other world where there is no more anxiety or persecution, but where love and peace reigns. The body was interred at Evergreen Cemetery. A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THE REV. CHESTER H. ANDERSON, LATE PASTOR NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH Read by Mrs. C. A. Spear-Bass at the Funeral Last Tuesday Rev. Chester H. Anderson was born at Barertia, Louisiana, in the year 1855, Oct. 1st, and even though this embraced that period of history in this country known as that of slavery, we find no record of him as ever having been a slave. He was wont often, especially in his latter days to sit and relate to members of his family and friends' of his early inspiration to preach and to work among his own people, and so it was that he was but a lad when he left his home and dear ones and went alone as a licensed preacher into the little town of Gretna, La., where he served for the first time as pastor. The people who heard him preach marvelled at his youthful activity in and for the church at this time; for educational opportunities for Negroes, eith- er free or enslaved, were scarce; but Chester Anderson, the boy preacher, had been at Gretna but a short time when one hundred and fifty men and women declared their allegiance to Christ, the church. So enthusiastic were the church officials at Gretna over the result of so short a revival that they called a council, and ordained young Anderson, calling him in the meantime to the pastorate of the church; and we have a record that during his four years' stay with that people his efforts were tireless and his influence in church and society increased to the extent that he was called from Gretna to take charge of the Third Baptist church at Austin, Texas. On reaching Austin it seems that the fire of youth had subsided into the sterner realities of life, and those who touched him at this time as pastor and friend declare that he was one of his generation who lived completely in and for his race. With him the ministry served the needs both of the material and of the spiritual Continued on Page 8 Rex Pork and Beans the gospel to his race in Los Angeles. Like the late J. J. Neijmore, he assisted in putting Los Angeles on the map, but they are falling one by one. He was born in 1855. He was 60 years of age and spent 40 years of that time in the ministry. He came to Los Angeles about 31 years ago and built the second Baptist church on Maple avenue. He was tireless in his efforts to do good. It is said that the Wesley chapel Methodist Episcopal church was organised in his church and many Methodists have said he was too broad to be a Baptist. He preached his first sermon in Pasadena and his text was, "Will a Man Rob God." He went East to attend the National Baptist convention, and after returning lectured in this city and his subject was "After the Ball." Not only was he a gospel preacher but a business man. He was president of the Eldorado Gold Star Mining company and the Aid society of his great church. He was also president of the Y.M.C.A. His life was spent in doing good. It seems that he was a Moses of old and was a leader of his people. He could part the waters and safely guide his followers to success. He was twice honored by the Baptist association of Southern California to moderator. PHONE BDWY. 2106 If you are looking for work and mean business, you will save time and worry by calling on J. W.

She rolled her sleeves high above the elbows, exposing the tan and freckled arms, picked up her rake and started working with a vim. As she drew the rake back and forth she hummed softly, and once when her work grew tiresome, Matilda stopped suddent. Draw a deep breath locked at the calloused lands, and in her innermost self she thought how Bert used to do all this. It was three years now since Bert's death, and Matilda was battling all alone.

Various stamped designs raking, when neighbor Graham, who was also a member of her own church — an old fashioned methodist church came sauntering across her yard. Good morning sister Lafton he rang out cheerily, see you're getting some neighbors, colored people Colored people? asked Matilda bewilderment in her tone. "Are you sure? That house isn't sold the owner told me he NEVER WOULD SELL it well I won't live by colored folks, no sir-e you see brother Graham, that's my southern blood. "There they be now", said Graham, as a heavily loaded truck came creaking over the crest of the hill and in, his droll way, added, "Yes, my sister, they're colored people, sure". Whcu Matilda turned to look she saw a colored man and a woman leading the way ahead of the vehicle. The white woman bit her lips in temper. Then pulling her gingham bonnet, close to her head perspiring face, as tho to hide a thousand hateful thots she half walked, half ran int her house, leaving brother Graham standingi there without even "excuse". That's a queer way for a big church woman to act. "that the veteran churchwoman, "she's always so nice and pious- umph; so but the old saying says "Still water runs deep" He then walked silently from the yard, his hands crossed behind his back, straight toward these "colored people." Nope, think not, came from the colored man,' the driver's got a helper but thanks just the same friend. Do you live 'round here? -What sort of neighborhood is thi? and he cunningly winked at his wife. Graham then turned loose the whole neighborhoods history, walking along with the couple as he talked, showing his friendly attitude each step of the way, waxing warmer and warmer about this neighborhood, and making these "colored people" feel as best he could that he he for one drew no color line. It seemed to Matilda that Graham wuld never go away, she called him all sorts of names, even an old hypocrite—she knew better for Graham was the the best liked neighbor in the Villa Timet, a steward in her own church and he al Men's $1.00 Golf Shirts 65c NEW coat styles of soiesette, madras and parecale shirtings in plain shades and fancy striped patterns.

Weil this constant talking of Graham and these colored people got on Matilda's nerves so deciding she would p3ep, "just to see what sort of "critters" they be she got up—she'd been lying across the bed, fairly reeking in her own meaness, planning and contriving how how to get rid of these colored people. She that all kinds of kinds of schemen, but what could she do She cautiously drew back a worn muslin curtain, just then bedlam broke loose among her turkeys; you know what a noise they can make. matilda ran to the door, there before her was a devilish fox terries running 'round and 'round her excited turkeys, his tail between his legs, barking playfully. "I'll kill the brute," matilda cried time and again, all aquiver with rage. "Don't hurt him, he won't hurt your turkeys; come Trixy" this in pleading tones from the colored people, natilda was too glad of the chance to display her feelings toward them, so she pretended not to hear them and with a broom stick in one hand and a huge rock in the other she continued to advance on the tantalizing dog that now lay prone upon the ground sharply watching the advancing woman, only to jump as she struck out viciously, run completely around her then lay crouched at his master's feet. The driver of the van called to his helper. "That's some NEIGHBOR, b'lieve me." The helper began whistling "What's tee Use." the colored couple simply exchanged smiles—smiles that spoke, while they silently felt that actions speak louder than words. Thinking she had courageously expressed herself, proceeded to barricade the chicken yard; every coop outside was dragged in, lathes were tacked here and there, a look put on the [ow] house and oiled an old gun, placed it on the side, porch, "right where they can see it," she said aloud, knowing too, that those people were respectable and honest their looks bespoke all this. The weeks passed swiftly. The colored people's work, however showed thrift; the roses were blooming, the vegetables made one have and appetite, their hens cachied every day—that meant, eggs, of course—all this peeved her.

She had been born and bred in the worse parish in Louisiana, where predjudice was like fat pine all ready for kindling—a black man's hell. When she came west to marry a western man instead of a chivalrous (?) southern one, she brought her prejudice along. Her husband often reasoned with her; he'd ask how she could be so one-sided he doubted her christianity. "Matilda you grieve my soul" he often remarked long before he died As time passed Matilda became more reconciled to her "cross," to quote her. The other neighbors all invited these colored people to their homes and churches, but this woman would not be friendly to them "Indeed," she dolefully remarked, "You're going to regret this social equality; I know them, just wait." She'd never been successful in drawing these colored people into an open broil, tho she tried various schemes, one morning Matilda walked close to the fence and to the colored woman, who knelt thinning a bed of Shasta daises, she asked snappily, "Can you do my wash?" The colored woman, tall and commanding, her whole person aroused with anger, arose abruptly "Yes," she replied. emphatically, "if you will do mine," then waited for an answer. Matilda cringed, her color came and went; she felt ridiculous and intuitively feeling it dangerous to linger, so without a murmur she turned and walked away. One afternoon, Matilda sat resting after a strenuous day's work, thinking of all her late misfortunes The roup had played havoc among her turkeys, the price on them had dropped and Thanksgiving was right on hand; some baby ducks had drowned and heaven knows what not. These were dreary thoughts, but it comes to all of us it seems natural somehow when despondent to just hang on and keep recalling all our mishaps, so, with Matilda, memory kept recalling until suddenly interrupted by a very familiar, knock. She hurried to the door and was greeted by Rev. Moss, who was paying his regular pastoral visits. "That's a treat, that music, he explained [the organ in the colored people's house was being played "O, they're quiet," came vaguely. "Ask 'am to church, the more, the merrier, we christians can't be selfish." "Alright," Matilda said, and quickly changed the subject. He had only a moment to stay, and was soon on his way. But Matilda could still hear that organ and sat close to window, glad to be alone, "Great heavens" she almost screamed, they're playing Bert's old hymn how strange, both our favorites," a lump filled her throat, her eyes grew moist, she sighed, "I am so tired." The music grew sweeter and sweeter, she felt alarmed and anxious, so upon hearing voices she crept to the window and there was Bert talking to her colored neighbors. "O, Bert! O, Bert!" she cried. He turned and faced her, put his hands up before his face and vanished. matilda screamed, then opened her eyes, "Only a dream, only a dream," she sighed. She went over that dream time after time and what her pastor said she felt conscience-sticken. She knew the meaning of that dream but was too stubborn to yield, she finally decided it was only a case of the blues. But, however, there had to her, a realization of how unkind she'd been. On the following Sunday morning as Matida made ready for church, class meeting and sacrament that dream again came up; she worked faster, feeling nervous all the while, but after adjusting this and that, she hurried on her way. The nearer to church the worse she felt, but finally she was within its sanctuary. They were singing, "Am I a Soldier of the Cross?" Matilda walked up the aisle until when midway she saw her colored neighbors sitting right up close to brother Graham, who sat there bowing right and left. The woman's heart thumped, a shivery feeling went over her, but somehow she made it to her seat and bowed her head in prayer. When the singing was over the minister leaned over and calmly said Brother Graham lead us in prayer. And Brother Graham "surely prayed," so one of the sisters said, He thanked God for tender mercies and beseeched him many more, then in a tremulous voice he prayed, "Lord make me love my neighbor, give me a pure heart." Matilda fairly shook and great tears came so fast that at the end of prayer she was ashamed to raise her head. The meeting was inspiring but Matilda felt ill at ease. Each hymn, each prayer seemed aimed directly at her, she felt that they all knew her other side. What could she say when it came her time to speak and how could she dodge the communion cup? The speaking went on until it reached misestable Matilda. All eyes stared; she subconsciously felt this, but aroused every bit of courage within her, arose and said, "My dear brothers and sisters, I've sinned, I've been unkind to persons who are here with us today, but God has forgiven me, and now, I humbly ask these persons to not only forgive me but to forget as well!" and sank limply into her seat. The effect was stirring, there was dead silence punctuated only by the sobs of the penitent woman. "Lord help!" a sister said, Brother Graham echoed Lord do. But suddenly a lively hymn was started, presently the whole congregation in a general handshaking feast, spiced by amens and glorys. When this flutter of praise wrover, eyes were wet, scents exhorted, even handkerchists lost, da found herself sitting al her colored neighbor penitent, but joys, and anxious.

Peace! Prosperity! Union! The managing editor of the Eagle desires to thank the many friends for their letters of encouragement and expressions of good will toward an effort to do something for race progress. It was a splendid tribute to the life and honor to the ministry which the people paid the late Rev. C. H. Anderson on last Tuesday. The voters of Santa Monica will do well to emulate the successful business men of this city as best they can, and vote for the things which spell progress. With the time and the place set for the next Republican convention, we can contemplate the fact that when it has really been held, the candidate named, the people who are hungry will see to the rest, and give us back protection and prosperity and forever knock out war taxes in time of peace. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM You Always Can Be Heard We have heard much criticism anent the article which was run under the caption of "Who Killed Cock Robin" in our last issue and signed by a man who sponsored the same. At the heading of this paper in box form. We claim to be the people's forum, we would fall way short if we refused to let said citizens express their views whether they agree with ours or not. The thing to do if you see things another way express yourself. You have the same privilege. As a matter of fact the editor of this paper thinks the article as about the flimsiest and most disgusting one that could be composed, and one which certainly does the forces which he seems to be playing to, no good. Just as well say that we have 1000 hold up men; the police have decided to enforce the law on gun men, and that throws them out of work, the race loses $50,000 annually. No, this is not the sentiment of even the most rabid club advocates themselves, it looks to us as a wail to the gallery that if someone will dig up I will do more. Now we are not opposed to lawfully conducted social clubs, we made no fight on any, but as the question came up in the passing events it had to be met, and we do not hesitate to say that we are certainly opposed to any organization unless it conforms to the law. We do not think that the men who are in the business themselves think otherwise, and even though they have not been running to the letter and spirit of the law, will if given, a chance do their utmost to run lawful places. Our people as a whole are law abiding and believe in law and order. The article to which we refer thoroughly and completely misrepresents them. That article is only that individual's views which he has a perfect right to The civil service commission is allowed to bunco the people as it has with their farsical methods of handling the business of the people in which all are supposed to have an equal chance. A certain local preacher of one of the city churches is paid five dollars per month by one certain saloon, and does that go on his salary or is this a part of his perquisites. Known crooked preachers and any other known crooks are allowed to have the implied endorsement of the ministerial or any other association. Another man who allowed himself to be called Dr. should single out the negro press for an easy mark and fall out of sight, in its debt. There are so many political organizations being formed just at this time. Pickings may not be so good as you think; hard times, you know. The man who is so narrow and frowns with contempt upon those who he thinks are not his equals, but who are really his superiors, is still trying to foist himself on a people who as good as say, "Away with you." The police commissioners want the preachers to say who shall run a social club. Do they know the best grades of whisky better than other citizens? Central avenue and East and South side colored business men should not establish still more business concerns in that section. CALL ON MISS C.

Bethel A.M.E. Church Notes. The supper given in the basement of the church on last Friday dav evening by Rev. Sister Bettie Jackson, of the Razor Beck conference, was well prepared, the waitresses sparing no pains in seeing that overbody was properly served. Eight dollars and twenty cents was realized. The pastor on last Sunday evening made an urgent appeal in behalf of the Allen Chrisian Endeavor League asking the young people to take an active interest in this department of the church work. Mother Cavil having been confined to her home on account of an injury sustained several months ago, is able to be out again. Mother Cavil is one of our most faithful members.

Moultrie of the battleship Minneapolis will address the conference on "the advantages and disadvantages of a young colored man in the U.S. navy. The address will doubtless be of interest to every one. Brother L. L. Bennett received a telegram Monday morning from his wife in Victoria, Tex., conveying the sad intelligence of the demise of her father. We extend to them our sympathy in their hour of bercavement. There was a call meeting of the trustee board Monday evening to dispose of some urgent business. Quite a few items were taken care of in a brief and satisfactory manner. The pastor was very much pleased with the results of the meeting. The official board convened immediately following the close of the trustee's meeting. Rev Harvey complimented the stewards for the faithful discharge of their duties. The pastor stated that he and his family were much pleased with the courtesies shown them by the members and friends since they have been in our city. Don't forget the Xmas morning sermon by the pastor at 5 A.M. Everybody is cordially invited to attend. Never mind about the street care running at that hour—we can get along without them on such an occasion as this. Our forefathers worshipped without the convenience of street cars. Are we less reverent than they? Remember the hour. Come out, saint and sinner, and pay homage to the greatest event in the history of the universe—the birth of a risen Savior. Mrs. Hodge's little grandson, John William J. Price, received a sterling silver spoon from the members of the Friday club. Mrs. Al.

Brown of the Exposition spent last Friday in the city on business. Walter Cruse was seen at the Savoy theater accompanied by a very handsome lady. The show was delightful, but he did not see it. Fly away, Mr. Cupid. Was you with the boys who were after the new girl at the dance? Why, man, "I was a long way ahead of them, until I found it to be Mr. Chism." Did you see the Eagle reporters the other day? Which one? That fat man, No! He's no reporter. You mean that tall handsome man! Oh, you are mistaken. She is a tall, handsome brown skin, or they say it is that little cute girl. Well, who is the busy man? Oh, I will bet that it is the man with the golden locks. Well, any way, you can't duck them, so you had better send in your subscription now. The first International masquerade ball given at Kastle hall Dec. 13 was without a doubt one of the swellest affairs of its kind, together with the biggest prizes that were ever given in the city. Mr. Laws has proven to the public that he is a man of his word. The prizes were awarded by the judges under instructions to show no favoritism whatsoever. As two of the judges were strangers in the city, Cash Burns decided to be neutral. The judges were: Prof. C. G. Thomas, pianist and entertainer from San Francisco; Mr. Merridith, battle-ship South Dakota; Cash Burns of San Diego. Prizes were awarded as follows: First prize, Miss Carrie King, 1510 29th street, ladies' gold watch, costume made of pennants of many colors and states; second prize, Miss Ferrell, 405 J. street, ladies' ornamental beads, costume Spanish Madero suit; third prize, Mrs. Banks, 925 Evans street, 1 5-lb. box of Showley Bros', choice Christmas candy. coco cola imitation of butterfly; fourth prize. Mrs. J. Stansell, 3031 Greeley avenue, 1 2-lb. box of Bishop's house chocolates; fifth prize, Mr. J. Stansell, 3031 Greeley avenue, 1 travelers' settee clock, costume Charley Chaplin make up. Miss Hattie B. Ridley and Miss Sadie Redley's costumes were among the most attractive in the hall. From various standpoints, should have been in among the prizes. Cal. Chism, from a designing feature, was in a class all alone. Leon Smith attracted a great deal of attention. Miss Louise Austin in Buster Brown rompers, first time on the Kastle hall; in fact, each costume was above the average. And the floor manager had on a high colored red vest made out of cigarette flags. The 20,000 votes were given between Miss Marie Young, Miss Nona Jackson, Miss Ethel Stansell, Miss Louise Austin. Miss Marie Young seems to have had solicited more votes than the trios. Rockefelier's income is about $2 a second. With an income like that a fellow can eat turkey for Christmas, buy real steak or ride in a jitney, because every time he sneezes, coughs, laughs or smiles he is 3 or four dollars richer. A hundred pound man should possess a two hundred pound wife. A hypocrite is an apotheosis of social gossip. Laws to be efficient must be backed by morals. Your soul is not in your stomach so you must help the poor. The world will be swatting turkey Christmas you must do your part. San Diego is making great preparations for the closing of the 1915 exposition and the opening of the 1916 exposition. Great crowds are swarming in the gates each day. It seems as if the new Tia Juana race track will be open for New Year's day and there are many horses quartered on the grounds already. As there are court proceedings among the directors and stockholders the Eagle cannot say what the definite outcome will be. So you can watch for results. Secure your tickets now for the charity ball to be given at Masonic hall, Wednesday night, December 22, for the benefit of the poor and needy colored families of San Diego How can you enjoy your Christmas dinner when your neighbor and family are in need. Let us show the world that we are trying to help one another. The Eagle Relief Committees will solicit no cash funds for the poor and needy colored families in San Diego other than a charity ball at the Masonic Hall H street between 5th and 6th, Wednesday, December 22, for which tickets will be sold those who wish to contribute food, clothes or donations may make it direct to the Eagle Relief Committees, 742 Third Street.

At has corrected many abuses on'the part of the railroads, and has in other instances gone so far as to make proper service’ with proper maintenance impossible. It has no doubt forced more than one railroad into the hands of a receiver. ‘The commission has, nevertheless, shown @ disposition to correct its own errors when pointed out, and the public has more confidence in the 1. C. C. in matters of equity between the people and the railroads than they have in the Postoffice Depart- ment, which is always more or less closely allied with politics—general- ly more—and whose chief is apt to be looking more keenly for a record for himself than for abstract justice or permanent efficiency, in either postal or general transportation ser- vice. He is one man, always a pdli- ticlan; the commission is composed of even, all as independent of pali- ties as the members of the Supreme Court, and presumably, appointed with special reference to their quali- ‘fication for the important service re- quired of them. The Tribune will not assume to pass upon the rates of mail pay now existing, but the fact that the roads, or a group of them, prefer the I. C. C. as an arbiter rather’ than the Postoffice Department, would indi- eate that they believe, at least, that they have a grievance. The private shipper cannot dietate terms to the railroad company, nor cam the com- Pany dictate terms to the private shipper. Then what possible. logic ‘or consistency fs there in permitting an executive department of the Gov- ernment, with a single head, to over- Tule the authority or question the integrity and fairness of that very commission which the same Govern- ment has established as a court of arbitration between the railroads and people? If the Government itself, as represented ‘by |the Postoflice De- partment, has no ‘confidence in the 1. C. C., how can the Government ex- pect the people to accept its rulings without complaint? If the 1. ©. C., after its 28 years of experience and with its big corps of transportation experts, cannot find where equity lies as between the railroads| and--the Postoffice Depariment, the commis- ison should be dissolved and its work transferred to the -Postmaster-Gen- eral.

In 1883 while pastoring at Austin, he was married to Miss Felice Edwards of New Orleans, La. who for thirty years has been a devoted wife and mother, laboring side by side with her husband, cheering him when the burden was heavy and rejoicing with him when all was well. After seven or eight years of activity at Austin, where he met and made many warm friends, he too heeded the cry, On to California, the land of promise, and with his family came to Los Angeles in the early part of 1887, and was in town less than two months when he was called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist church, then a cracker box one room affair with a bona fide membership of 15; but at that time the only church edifice where Colored people of whatever denomination assembled on Sunday for religious worship. The natural aptitude for true leadership that had so early demonstrated itself away back in Louisiana did not wane with the change of climate and conditions, but increased with the years in the case of the Rev. Chester H. Anderson, for prior to 1887 in Louisiana and Texas respectively he but laid the foundation of his ship that has since laughed at all disaster and with wave and whirlwind wrestled. In the assuming of the responsibility of the pastorate of the Second Baptist church Rev. Anderson seems to have yoked on the responsibility of the Colored settlers generally at that time. Unlike the modern preacher he worked daily with his hands side by side of his parishioners earning food and shelter for his family, for the church at that time made no pretention at paying a preacher a living wage. Immediately after taking charge of the Second Baptist church he called the little flock together and began to devise ways and means for the securing of a church home. In this as in his other undertakings his efforts were crowned with success, for before many months had rolled into the abyss of forgetfulness a little plat of land on what is now Maple avenue was purchased, and the little red brick structure that now towers not above but amidst the commercial landmarks of early Los Angeles marks the spot known as the Second Baptist church, which was erected without even a mortgage on the property. After a twenty years service as pastor of the Second Baptist church, Rev. Anderson left the church practically clear of indebterness with two lots at 14th and Paloma avenue and a church lot at Long Beach, all of which were in good financial shape. In 1891 in Ebenezer Baptist church at Oakland he organized the Western Baptist Association and was its first moderator. Again his labors were not in vain. Rev. Anderson watched over the growth and development of this organization with that tenderness with which a father watches his child, until he was again elected to the honored position of moderator, at which time he was hailed as Abba, Father! He was also father of the Old Folks Home idea, which today consists of four acres of fertile land at Watts on which is a seven-room antique cottage in which five old people are being cared for by a matron. ed to the service of God. Those who rapped at the door of his church or house for aid or assistance never heard, "Nay," instead his answer was always in the language of the poet who said: Come in and be at peace, freely shall thou partake of my store, as I of his who buildeth over all these— Our tents the glorious roof of night and day and at whose door none ever yet heard, Nay. A few weeks ago when his steps began to grow slow and feeble and his back was bent, at the home of his son Benjamin Anderson, he called his wife and children about him and said, "Dear wife and children, I have done what I could, and I feel that the time when I shall go to sleep never to wake again in this likeness has come, but I shall see you again when the mist shall have rolled away."

Washington, at which time he stated that he had been urged not to preach any more, but with 'his face beaming, in a loud voice he cried out, "But I dont' intend to stop until my Master says, 'Well done, come up higher.' God called me to preach and I am going to use every moment allotted me."

FRENCH,SPANISH,GREEK,ENGLISH Studio 12231 Naomi Avenue Los Angeles Since God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to call our beloved pastor, organizer and friend Rev. C. H. Anderson from labor to reward, and though he is gone from our midst, our sorrow for him should be after a Godly manner, and not as those which have no hope as the heathen. Death is only a temporary separation, and does not cut us off from communion with our loved ones through Christ, for we realize that "the sun is but a spark of fire, a transient meteor in the sky; but the Soul immortal as its Sire, will never, never die."

Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolution be sent to the family, one to the press, also one be spread on the minutes of the organization. Done by order of the President, Mrs. H. C. Fouse, Mrs. B. Highbaugh, Secretary. We, the Baptist Young People of the New Hope Baptist Union are here to commerate the death of our beloved pastor. Whereas, the Almighty in his all-wise providence has seen fit to gather into the fold one of His Shepherds, our beloved pastor, we, the members of the Union, wish to express our deep sorrow and the sincere realization of our great loss, caused by his departure. Rev. Anderson was a devoted follower of the Lord, a true friend a wise counsellor, and a sympathetic companion. His friendly words, cheerful greetings and helpful advice was of great assistance to our union, while his consecrated life, and willing service, an inspiration to us all. We feel that his Christian influence has been far reaching, touching the very gates of Heaven and that we all have been blessed in that it has been our privilege to have been associated with him. His beloved presence will be greatly missed in our union, but his many good deeds, will never be forgotten and the memory of his noble life, will never be with us as an example of true Christian character, and a living type of that Servant of whom it was Said. "Well done, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." We have lost a great leader in the baptist cause. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the bereaved and one also filed with the records of this Union, and the Press. W. B. Brooks, Pres. Mrs. B.
