Sowed The Wind Reaping The Whirlwind Japanese Make Strong Protest Against Moving Picture Film Before Welfare Committee of the City Council Volume 28 An alarm announcing that half of the city was ablaze could not have been more sensational than the headlines of the dailies of last Sunday and Monday. Their statement that a big burly black man had captured Mrs. Viola Hood (white) of San Diego, and had eloped with her. The papers went on to state that Dodds, the Negro in question, had threatened to murder Mrs. Hood and her whole family, thus intimidating her to the extent that she was compelled to comply with his wishes in the premises; but as the week grew and the truth of the matter developed it was found that this is another case of a white woman's infatuation for a black man. It is to be despised that these conditions should arise from time to time; and it is clearly understood that the Colored American looks upon such as with much or more disgust than the white. For we realize that these acts but increase the spirit of mob rule in this country, and we further opine that even as mob rule caused Rome, proud mistress of the world, to fall, Carthage to sink into oblivion, Spain to lose her grip on Cuba—that finally America, with its phenomenal strides in education and culture, will be subjected to a similar fate. There must be law and order; but God's law is above all. As citizens and Americans we only ask that there be one law for all men and not a white and black man's law. In the Hood-Dodds case we ask that Dodds be treated according to law. If he has committed any crime let him be duly punished, but if he is only the victim of this white woman's well-wrought charms and followed at her heels at her command, not even daring to touch the hem of her garment, then we believe that he should be enlightened, that man's law and not God's is supreme in this country, and that it reads that there is to be no intermingling of races—when it is a case of white and black the woman, too, should have the same pointed out to her. WHAT YE SOW YE SHALL REAP. During the period of American slavery the white man was not content to use the Negro as his slave, but under the cruel lash of his whip began a process of blood intermingling that has almost entirely changed this race known as the American Negro in racial instincts and physical features into a creature little unlike himself. Now, inasmuch as he has changed his features he has changed his desires. With the white man's blood coursing through his veins nothing less than the white man's civilization appeals to this mixed breed commonly called "Black Brute." Even though we are not all in favor of intermarriage between whites and blacks, we do not fear that what has been sown must be reaped. There would be little danger of molestation on the part of the black man unless some advance was first made by the woman, and is she to blame for what she has justly inherited from her forefather, who, in the face of most cruel race antipathy, regardless of his high position of lord and master, could so humiliate himself, wife and children as to become the father of a family of children by a "Black Wench" whose position was that of chattel slave on his plantation? Even though Thomas Dixon Jr. is constantly painting the Negro black in the eyes of the American people, the time is near at hand when American history, written or unwritten, will reveal itself, and the black man will occupy his true position in the same. As a race we have never shown a disposition to shield our criminals or to encourage lawlessness of any kind, but we have reached that period of civilization when we can no longer relish such discrimination as has been heaped upon us during the past fifty-three years. The Negroes of San Diego and Los Angeles counties are waiting with some degree of impatience to see what will be the outcome of the Hood-Dodds case. Mrs. Hood has insisted that she planned and finan- Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., Jan. 29, 1916 ced the trip, and in the many newspaper accounts we have yet to discover any hint at any immoral conduct during the period of elopement. As we have stated, if there is any charge in keeping with the law we insist that the Negro is given a fair trial. For truly those who have sown the wind shall reap the WHIRLWIND. Since writing the above, the following, which might be called "The Sequel," appeared in Friday's Examiner: Mrs. Hood and Spouse Returning; Case Ends Van Lee Hood, after succeeding in having Federal authorities drop all thoughts of prosecuting his wife or Raymond Dodds, the Negro with whom she eloped, is to arrive here tonight from Salt Lake City with her. Hood was unable to persuade his wife to return without a promise that the Federal officers would not prosecute Dodds. Hood and the woman left Salt Lake City on the midnight train for California, Tuesday. They will go to San Diego. The protest of the Japanese association of Southern California against the showing of the moving picture film, The Cheat, was referred by the city council yesterday to the public welfare committee for consideration. The opinion was expressed by Councilwoman Lindsey and Councilman Topham that the showing of the film should not be barred because it might hurt the feelings of persons of any particular race, as if this were made a bar against the exhibition of films the city would not know where to stop. Tribune. The local Japanese residents of Los Angeles have filed a strong protst against the moving picture film, The Cheat, which appears to be obnoxious to the Japanese. The protost was filed before the welfare committee of the city council and is now under consideration. The action of the city's law makers in this instance will be watched with great interest. The nation itself, as well as the state, have been known to BACK UP when Japan gets busy, and we aver that it is only a question as to how busy Japan cares to be. It is a different proposition at all hazards from the protst filed by our own citizens when The Clansman was first brought here. Since the abolition of slavery we have had white men and women traveling up and down the country advising Negroes how to become reputable citizens, and yet these same reformers have never lifted their voices to protest against such discrimination that will eventually retard the intellectual and material progress of any people. The class of Negro citizen such as Mr. Homer L. Garrott represents, who purchased the property in question would do credit to any community. Mr. Garrott hails from one of the best Negro families of this country. He is brother to Dr. A. C. Garrott who enjoys the distinction of one of the leading dentists of this city, whose business address is 1000 Broadwa Central building, where he has been housed for a number of years. Before becoming police officer, about four years ago, Mr. H. L. Garrott was employed by the Broadway Department Store for eight years. Some months ago Mr. Garrott purchased property at 420 W. 59th Place without any knowledge of a supposed restriction on said property. A few days ago when Mr. Garrott would take possession of the property for which he already had the deeds, it seems that the neighbors got on the wind that the newcomers were Negroes and immediately got busy. The Title Guarantee and Trust Company, a firm that has done business for and with all classes of people in this city for a number of years sought to have a permanent injunction issued against Mr. Garrott to keep him from ever occupying the home he has purchased. The Title Guarantee and Trust Company was obivious of its big Negro patronage to the extent that it authorized its vice-president, Attorney E. W. Sargent, to write Mr. Garrott a letter, which contained insult remarks and suggestions to the effect that there were thousands of lots in the city, or sale where the title is unrestricted and the parties, who owned these premises had a perfect right to make such restrictions, and further suggested that if he, Mr. Garrott, did not consent to give up his claim on said property he was in danger of forfeiture of the same. The case is being tried by Attorney W. O. Tyler before Judge Shenk. Mr. Tyler is one of our leading attorneys and is basing his argument upon the 14th amendment of the Federal Constitution. Judge Shenk is fair minded and will render an unprejudiced decision. However, the host of Negro citizens who are interested in the case advise Mr. Carrott that if necessary to carry the case to the Supreme Court of California and from thence to the Supreme Court of the United States if need be in search of justice. Terra Haute, Ind., January 4—Eugene Debs, speaking of the "Birth of a Nation" says: The merits of this spectacular drama excites bitter comment whenever it is presented. There is no question that it is a wonderful production, that many of its scenes are tense and thrilling and that there is much in the play to approve and commend, but if the author's studied purpose was to insult the black race and to revive and intensify the bitter prejudice which grew out of the war, he could not have better succeeded, and it would be passingly strange if colored people did not protest against certain shocking features of the drama as doing them and their race grossest injustice. If it be absolutely essential to the play to present those harrowing rape scenes, then why not round them but in their historic completeness and show the dissolut' son of the plantation owner ravishing the black daughter before her parents' eyes? For every white woman supposed to have raped in the south by a black man, a thousand black women have been seduced and outraged by white gentlemen (?) but no hint of this is given in the series of pictures composing "The Birth of a Nation." It is only the black brute that is guilty according to this and all other stories written about the Negro by Thomas Dixon, the author, who calls himself a minister of Christ. There are four million mullattoes in this country, most of whom were born out of wedlock and allof whom have a white father or grandfather and these white gentlemen (?) are ready to fight at the drop of the hat for "white supremacy" against "nigger equality." The pretended reverence for Lincoln in the play does not at all square with the facts of history Lincoln was hated with savage hate by slave-owners of the south, and it was this ferocious hate that culminated in his assassination and the reverence now shown him on the stage is a convenient mask behind which the same blind hate may vent itself upon the unoffending Negro. Let it not be overlooked that all our histories have been written by white men and that Negroes had no hand in them. They simply had to take what was given them, but even at that there is no denying the fact that from the time the Negroes were first stolen from their native land by white slave-traders whom it were flattery to call brutes, until the last law disfranchising them in the south was put into effect and the last "Jim-crow" car put into commission to attest their standing as live stock, the whole history of the treatment of the Negro race is one of shameless exploitation and degradation, for which the white race can never atone in time nor eternity. If the black people today could tell their story about "The Birth of a Nation," it would be replete with scenes infinitely more cruel and damning than those based upon Dixon's novel and flashed upon the screen to conceal the white man's crimes behind the Negro's misfortune. The Ku-Klux-Klan are glorified in these pictares as spotless knights THE MUSEUM OF THEATRE the personification of chivalry and honor, and the audience applauds madly as they dash to the rescue of some imaginary white victim of of a black fiend, but care is taken not to portray any of the outrages perpetrated upon defenseless, unoffending Negroes, by these same lawless night-riders. The pictures showing the scenes about the polling places on election day, under Negro domination, are especially calculated to subject the Negro to ridicule and the audience never fails to attest its appreciation by its sneers and cheers. It's true such election scenes with their black sluggers and their sodden corruption are disgraceful and revolting, but how much more disgraceful and revolting are they than the election scenes which have occurred in and about Terre Haute during the last few scenes in which the sluggers were white, instead of black, and insulted white ladies instead of black wenches; scenes unspeakably low and vile as everyone will admit, who bore witness to them. How would it do to make pictures of some of these and travel through the south with them flashing them upon a screen to show the Negroes in that section what an eminently respectable thing an election is when dominated by white men and by what pure and incorruptible method the will of the people is expressed in a civilized white community. If the white race has demonstrated its "superiority" in any one thing; it is in its politics and elections, and if Negroes should be disfranchised, the evident purpose of Dixon's pictures, because of their disgraceful conduct at the polls, then by the same token white men should also be stripped of the ballot and driven from polling places. The chief commercial statistics exhibited at the close of the play to show the progress made by the Negro race is but a weak attempt to excuse the wanton insults heaped upon that race. Intelligent Negroes will not be deceived. The progress they have made is mainly due to themselves. They owe little to the white race as a whole save their exploitation and degradation. Let the colored people learn how to depend upon themselves, how to do for themselves and to win their own way in the world. When they cut loose from the grafting politician that use them as pawns in the political game and reward one of their number with a spittoon clean- PROSPECTIVE PEOPLE'S AUDITORIUM The above is the prospective building of the People's Auditorium, which is being promoted by an organization of our people in this city.

Your patronage solicited. Montgomery Bell, of Las Vegas, N. M., who recently died in that city, was said to have been worth $250,-000. At his funeral all of the pall-bearers were white, the first time such a thing had occurred in the history of the state. In fact, there have been but few such cases in the country. He made his money in common pursuits, and which he invested, finally becoating a silent partner in the People's Trust Co., of Las Vegas. His money talked, and as it will in most places. Money is not all life, but it is a very considerable part of it. These white pall-bearers had great respect for Mr. Montgomery Bell.—Freeman.

Right here she was interrupted by a pro- posal from a very handsome young man saying that be was willing to wait until such time as she may set for the church bells to ring. She then looked up from her busy desk and said, “Say, Mr. Repor- ter, why do you persist in ques- tioning me.

The following Sunday morning the reverend was greeted with a congregation that taxed the capacity of the church. The choir appeared in a musical glory that gave evidence of the magic touch of our inestimable chorister, Prof. Henry Douglas Greer, who has recently resumed active charge of the choir. Deacon Patterson has also on behalf of the church issued a call that on the first Sunday in February, 50 men and 100 women come prepared to respond with one dollar and fifty cents respectively, for the purpose of raising the necessary funds to discharge the pressing obligation of the church. After the conventional complimentary remarks, the reverend gave as his text that passage of Scripture wherein the Savior was giving his followers at their request the signs indicating His diciples. The theme was announced to be, "Hang Out Your Shingle." The Book was closed. As we have about exhausted our descriptive vocabulary, we will only say in repetition that everything we have said above concerning his initial appearance, we again reiterate with extreme emphasis, for truly Bro. Moore must have been inspired to greater effort, by what he was pleased to say in his preliminary remarks, was the largest audience he had the pleasure to address since he had been in the West.

If you want your locals to appear in this paper call Colo. 602 in the evening at 6 p.m. not later than Tuesday night. Don't forget to register if you want to vote. Watch this paper and see what the correspondents have to say about the late Booker T. Washington. There are 210,000 Methodists in Iowa, 953 preachers, 184,658 Sunday-school scholars, 29,208 members of the Epworth League. They gained 10,771 members last year in the Junior League. The average salaries paid to pastors is $1800 a year. The district superintendent receives a salary of $27,42 a year. Total salaries paid to bishops, pastors, district superintendents and conference claimants. $887,960. Benevolences totals $426,292. The benevolences, officials and non-officials, and all salaries for the Methodists in that state amounts to $1,396,960. There are four Methodist church conferences in that state. They have more than any other three Protestant churches combined, and every tenth church in the state is a Methodist. Yet they say Iowa is not the strongest Methodist state in the union. Dr. Hughes, the pastor of the First Methodist church in Pasadena, says from Cleveland, Ohio, for a radius of 100 miles you will find between four and five hundred thousand Methodists. In Pasadena at the last Union Methodist meeting there were 3500 Methodists represented in thirteen Methodist churches in and around Pasadena. The Pasadena district is the wealthy district in the Methodist Episcopal church. Next to this district is the Buffalo, N.Y., district, and there is but one colored church in the Pasadena district; that is Scott, chapel, and it is free of debt. "The Methodist church has furnished more soldiers, more money, more nurses and has done more towards abolishing slavery than any other church."—Lincoln. You do not have to say what party you will support when you register. Roosevelt refuses to be a dead one. A word to the wise is as good as pen and ink. You do not have to pay poll taxes in this state, so go and register at once. Do it today. The man that named the Republican party is in Pasadena on a visit. His name is Williamgate Lee and he is 92 years of age. He was working as a reporter on the New York Tribune for Horace Greeley at that time. Let every woman register. You have helped make the living, so help make the law. You will have a chance to vote on the Prohibition question and every good mother, wife, sweetheart and Christian woman should vote against the sale of whisky. Remember your father, husband, brother and sweetheart. The grippe caused the death of 348 porsons in Kansas during the Wm. D. Martin, formerly of this city but now of Los Angeles, can be found at 837 Kobler street, where he will be pleased to meet his friends. Mrs. Della Walker has moved from 288 Willard place in this city to 53rd street, Los Angeles. Voters, Attention. Do not be deceived by misstatements concerning the primary and registration laws. The law does not require you to state your party affiliation at the time you register. The law provides that you state your party affiliation when you vote at the primary election, but not when you register. All state officials, including members of the legislature, will be nominated on a party basis. Remember, you are not required to state your party affiliation when you register, but are required to do so when you vote at the primary election. If any one tells you otherwise do not believe it. Do not sign any referendum petition against the primary election laws, as a referendum would again produce confusion and tend to destroy the direct primary system of making nominations, which is vital to good government.—Tribune. Above warning to colored voters because we have learned that there are register clerks, and we regret to say in an especial manner a colored one, who is wilfully misleading our people by stating they must state their party affiliations when registering.

Keep Your Eyes on This Space Good Things Are in View For Us All You Will Read About It In Our Next Issue ```markdown ``` Conductor Positive C. B. Grogan, the conductor of the Salt Lake train, told Detective Winn he was positive his passengers were Mrs. Hood and Dodds. He said they had Pullman tickets, but rode in the chair car, and that passengers complained of the woman's show of affection for the Negro. The train arrived at Salt Lake at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, and if the couple were aboard they had plenty of time to go into hiding before the fact of their elopement was generally known there. If Dodds took the woman to Salt Lake his capture will certainly be followed by prosecution by Federal authorities for violation of the Mann Act. Hood received a telegram from Chief of Police Wilson, of San Diego last evening advising him to remain in Los Angeles till clews were developed further. Hood said he would take that course. The San Diego police claim to have proof that Dodds lived with a white woman in Coronado recently until the indignation of residents compelled her to leave. The idea of any person in any community, in any position in life, or of any character, to humbly submit and to be intimidated, by threats of murdering themselves and their whole family and having months of time to report to the police and have the would-be murderer arrested and safely landed behind prison walls. This is apparent to all who have read the above accounts to be groundless. Then for the kidnapped victim to furnish all railroad transportation, hotel and sleeping car accommodations, taxi fares, etc., and then keep quiet. The next chapter of this romance of Othello and Desdemona will be the "round up." ELOPING COUPLE GIVE SELVES UP Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 24.—With the surrender to the police of Raymond Dodds, a former chauffeur, and Mrs. Viola Hood, wife of a well-known San Diego hotel man, there has come the unfolding of a story of strange fascination between mulatto and white, which has baffled the police of two cities. The man declares, and the woman corroborates, so state the police, that he used no force and made no threats toward Mrs. Hood, and that it was she who planned the elopement. Questioned as to their plans, Mrs. Hood said she was willing to return to San Diego if Dodds were permitted to go on to Chicago. Dodds may be held to answer a white slave charge. Dodds had been in the employ of the Hoods for a year as chauffeur. In explanation of the elopement he said: "Mrs. Hood and I have been pretty close friends for a year. She wanted me to skip with her several times. I thought of leaving her to keep out of trouble, but she would put her arms around me and cry and ask me to stay. At last we decided to skip. We were to be married here and then go on to Chicago to make our homes." = ee ee Preparedness the Slogan all Along -the Line. 1 : / =e THE SOUTHLAND ‘By Sidney.P. Dones For the benefit-of my. Texas bro-| thers and sisters I am going to men- tion a few things I’saw and did on my recent visit to our home State. | I left Los Angeles on the Golden Staté Limited on Dec. 7th, 1915, ar- plying at El Paso Dec. 8th. The first | person, I met I knew was my sister, Mrs. Elliott Grigsby, who informed me*of the death of another sister, Cornelia. I did.not stay as long in| Bl Paso as I intended, on account of the death of my sister, but proceed- ea on to Marshall, stopping only at San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Fort ‘Worth. On arriving at Marshall I ‘was met at the station by my broth-, , T. W. Dones, who is a txemer \@ groceryman at Marshall. I then! fwent to my home, wnich is seven southeast of Marshall.

Somehow or other it got yat at my country home that I was be at old St. Jonn’s Church on ristmas day to speak. This old thurch is the church that my mother tea father belong to.

The Psychology of Beauty, How often you have remarked, "What a beautiful woman." And yet, barring a soft, well cared for complexion, her features are plain and irregular. The secret is, she appeals first to the senses through her grace, distinction and elegance. These, combined with an appeal to the mind, produce that charm called the "indefinable something" which is nothing more than the art of pleasing others. Charm is a moral element, the combination of which is beauty of character, tact and amiability, qualities which are indispensable to every woman who desire to please and produce a good impression. Charm is a magic envelope which surround every woman and captivate all hearts and minds, You ask, 'To possess charm, must she be beautiful in form and feature?' No, for beauty is not always sympathetic and graceful. More beauty can excite admiration nothing cination and wields an almost limitless power. Develop the art of pleasing others and the above elements will be gradually acquired. To develop this art the utmost care must be paid to your own complexion and appearance. "Fletcherize your complexion" Next week — the enemies of Beauty. REV. DR. JOS. T. HILL PREACHES AT ST.

Tabernacle Church Last Sunday morning Rev. J. D. Gordon preached a sermon on "A Newer Vision." Among the many illustrations given by Rev. J. D. Gordon was one touching a "Vision" that came to him some thought he discovered the "Elixer of Life." He thought within himself what a wonderful discovery. When he raised his eyes again he saw a pile of men who had died, ready for the undertaker. They were piled up ten feet high. In this vision a whisper came, put a drop of this Elixer in each man's nostril, which was done, and as this Elixer touched each man he arose in full vigor and lived again. This was so startling to the dreamer within himself he though what will the world think of this discovery. He heard these men in great noise going to their various places of abode. He looked again and found an urn with the ashes of someone who had been cremated, labeled with the name of the cremated one. He said within himself, "this elixer fails here surely," but a voice again said, "drop a drop of the elixer into the urn." As soon as the elixer touched the ashes of the departed it began to sputter and effervesce, a cloud of vapor arose the height of a man, forming a man's eyes, nose, mouth, chin, and neck, and ran out to the length of his arm forming his index finger, thumb and hand, this going on on both sides and continued the building process until all of the ashes had left the urn and the man was perfectly formed. Then the dreamer awoke to find it but a vision. The preacher said these years the vision has gone on unexplained, but in his riper experiences he finds this elixer the discovery of each child of God when vital faith is within discovered. Faith then is the Sovereign of Life. Horse the dogmas and doctrines, but a vital faith in the simple truth of the Bible. This faith is the elixer of life. Not only faith in the word of the Bible, but we need a vital faith in the spirit of Christ. We first believe in the Bible truth and then we must believe in that same truth in the spirit. The sermon was a beautiful one, and was enjoyed immensely by everyone. Sunday night Rev. J. W. Walker of Bakersfield pijreached and it was very inspiring and uplifting. Next Monday morning at 11:30 o'clock the new pastor of the Second Baptist church, Rev. Prowd, will deliver a message to the Baptist Union at Tabernacle church. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. To The California Eagle: At the regular business meeting of Mt. Zion Baptits church held on the evenig of Feb. 2nd, I tendered my resignation as pastor, under circumstances which make it necessary that I should give the churches of the denomination the reason for so doing. A few days ago Rev. Mr. Curry, who is a member of Mt. Zion, took communion in the A. M. E. church, after making a talk declaring that he believed it was right, and if his church turned him out they could do so. As pastor I brought the matter to the attention of the church, and after listening to what Rev. Curry had to say, the church took a standing vote as to whether it stood for open communion, and the majority stood for making it an open communion organization. As a Baptist I stand where the Baptists have stood in all ages, upon the belief that the Bible stands for restricting the communion to the membership of the Baptist churches, and there was nothing left for me to do but resign.

Mc Mickens who unceasingly and unselfishly strive to bring the message to all that God intends for us to have and that is the knowledge of eternal life. On last Sunday being unable to preach, he strove to perform his duty and, God helping him brought us a soul stirrins message, both morning and evening. His topic for discussion in the forenoon was "Christ" and in the evening "The blood of the Covenant." On next Wednesday evening, Misf Bertha Miller will give a social concert with her pupils and others. Come and worship with us. Expressing Our Will Power BY THERESA F. YOUNG Each individual has a certain amount of will power, yet in in some persons this trait of character is stronger than in others. For instance, theae are those of us who will to do a thing and do it others do not even exercise their will power while still others the unfortunate among us, who greatly desire to refrain from the things that are harmful and tend to undermind character but are unable on account of lact of the most essential and valuable assets that go to build strong noble character-will Power. There are, several important traits of character J and that you must do, is to say No I will not steal from my friend No I will not do harm by telling a lie. Stand firmly in your determination, be resolute, and when the storm of temptation is passed another stone will be added to that great wall character the bulwark of mankind.

From Page 2 stuffin out of us and made us Democrats do without ple for over a quarter of a century. Oh, Waiting One, we hunker down on our Free Trade jeans-covered knees and petition these not to have any more war. If Mexico wants to make a doormat of the American flag let them enjoy themselves. Hasn't Germany done the same thing? Hasn't England done it, under the thy great and adorable reign, oh, great soft-hearted chieftain? Why should we go to war? Are we not already at war at home with the poverty caused by thy great Free Trade? We thought we were already at war, mighty Woodrow. We've read of so many bank failures and business wrecks and people out of jobs under thy great Free Trade administration that we have stopped reading the newspapers, but if we are not at war why this blooming Hundred Million Dollar War Tax we are paying? But, Mr. President, remember we are Democrats still. We are willing to face the music and drink soup, if necessary, if only we can be patted on the back and called good Democrats. We know it is treason to complain. We know the province of a good Democrat is to take his medicine and never make a crooked face. So, Mighty Chief, forgive us for talking as we have. Kick us for presuming to ask questions. It is not for us to scrutinize thy wisdom or question thy plans. So put the toe of thy wrath to us and teach us to obey. Teach us that a Democrat was made to vote straight and ask no questions. Master Wilson, if we are too presumptuous, kick us. Kick us a little anyway. We deserve to be kicked a little. If we ask foolish questions thump us on the head with the scepter of thy greatness. If we are a little crude and coarse in our manners it is because we never had a chance to be anybody. We never went to school. We are greenhorns. We are fag ends of Democratic despair. We are lick-sitties and gutter-snipes. We are ready to do the bidding of any Democrat who will command us. We will turn political somersaults. We will cuss Cleveland some more. We will denounce Roosevelt or Taft or Debs or Chafin or anybody else if it will make pie come our way. Now, Master Wilson, accept this our humble prayer. Forgive us for asking for anything that we should no receive. Save us from the clutches of The Rascal Whipper and all the honor shall be thine. Amen. Sidney P. Dones, manager of Booker T. Washington Bldg., real estate and insurance man who through honest and conscientious dealing is bringing, the colored business men and women of the race together, Mr. Dones says that within the next six months Central Ave. between 8th and Pico will be found all kinds of mercantile business represented by our own race. We are not fighting any one, or any race. We believe that under the present conditions that the colored man or woman is entitled to the colored trade. If you want groceries, buy from a colored grocery man. If you need dry goods, buy from a colored dry goods store. If you you need professional services for heaven's sake use your own colored doctor and lawyer. Do you not know that the colored business or professional man must depend entirely on the colored people for support. If the other fellow gets the majority of our own race's business and all of his own race's business, how on earth will we poor race business can catch up? He further warns the business men by saying, "Race men, build up your business and demand the patronage of your race, build banks, department stores, factories, make a place for the younger generation of our race. Colored people should go in business." Not a colored shoe store in California, notwithstanding there are 65,000 Negroes in the state spending annually over $1,000,000 for shoes. By Sidney P.

Prosperity! Union! CANDIDATES, DON'T BE FOOLED! There are now a number of so-called Negro newspapers, campaign sheets, being launched in this city for the sole purpose of holding up candidates for public office this Spring and Fall. Such mercenary sheets have neither a mailing list nor any bona fide subscribers. This information can be authenticated by looking on the paper above the editorial columns for the printed statement that the paper has been admitted to the mails. If this does not appear, the paper is a fake pure and simple. Any money paid to such papers buys for you neither circulation of your printed matter nor the influence that is represented to go with it. With two Republican delegations before the voters it will be hard to miss out; as one or the other will surely win. GET TOGETHER We at all times preach the Get Together doctrine along industrial and business lines, and now we must get together along political lines if we expect to get this country back on a safe and sane basis. All Republicans must get together to put a united front before the enemies of progress. The watchful waiting policy of President Wilson has resulted in the present enforced invasion of Mexico. Stubbornness and personal dislikes lost all chance of order in Mexico when the President failed to recognize Huerta the only man who could have established order in that war ridden country. OUR STAND ON JIM CROW PROPOSITIONS We want it clearly understood that we have no personal feeling or antipathy against the Jim Crow clan. It is a matter of principle with us. We have to fight it from without and within on the Jim Crow issue. The latest Moses of the clan infesting this community is the disciple of Dunbar, Prof. Charles Alexander, erstwhile editor of a local Jim Crow sheet, working his own people to build up a cheap white man's paper. No more could be expected, however, as he came to Los Angeles with his Jim Crow ideas, in fact all of his acts have savored of Jim Crow, even to his speeches against the red light abatement law. Now we recognize that this man, if he was right on this racial question, could be of great benefit to his Race in this community, but as he has fallen by the wavy-side, deserted his Race in building up their enterprises to help a ```markdown ``` cheap white man build up a union shop in which our people are absolutely, barred as workmen, we believe that it is time to snatch the mask from his face, and in fact we feel that we would fall far short of our duty should we fail to do so. We also feel that any of our organizations which give support to this man as long as he is connected like he is, they are simply giving the white man a stick to break their own necks. We want to insist on our distinguished friend and disciple of Dunbar to stand up like a man, and quit playing ape for the white man, preying on your own people to build up a cheap white man. Be a Race man or get out of public life. You cannot last as you are, because you well merit the condemnation of every true and loyal Race man in the land, suffering yourself to be the tool of this cheapwhite man who is the owner of a newspaper devoted to Negroes. It is the most ridiculous proposition ever foisted on the public and the surprising thing is that a man such as the genial professor could be procured to serve as vassal for this sort of man. Now this will probably put a new impetus on Brown, the white man, to do further battle with this real Negro journal, and might make the professor whip up a little more to keep it going, but we are going to keep the people posted on this Jim Crow editor, and we serve notice that we are in on nothing that is dominated or directed by Jim Crow forces. POLITICAL POT PIE The County Republican Committee met Thursday night and made arrangements to open headquarters for the pending campaign. In an interview with Chairman Bowen of the County Committee he stated that the Colored men lost the opportunity of their lives to get a Colored men on the delegation, all because the two Colored committeemen would not get together on a man. A meeting has been called by the Republican Central Committeeman of the 74th Assembly district for Wednesday night at the 14th street school house, at which time the Republican voters will form a complete organization of the district. E. J. Delorey, it is said, is making a winning campaign for supervisor. The various Republican organizations are getting busy to rout Democracy in all of its forms at the coming elections. There were no new entries for assemblyman from the 74th district the past week. Mrs. Estelle Lawton Lindsey, our very popular councilman, is doing her colleague, Mr. Langdon, a great service. There will be a general organization of Colored Republicans organized next week. Announcement in our next issue. In which Miss Lorenza Jordan and Mr. John Gray competed as it were, for honors as musicians of rare note last Tuesday evening was a pronounced success. To say that one had anything on the other in the way of technical manipulation would seem like partiality. Both style and class of rendition by Miss Jordan and Mr. Gray on this occasion demonstrated close application in the study of execution. It is hoped that Los Angeles concert goers will soon learn to appreciate such talent as Miss Jordan and Mr. Gray. Great Revival at Providence Church Great Revival at Providence Church John H.

Los Angeles, Cal., March 10, 1916 Editor CALIFORNIA EAGLE:— Dear Sir: I had supposed that "mud-slinging" journalism had become obsolete, but if the Postage Stamp, published and circulated on San Pedro street, is to be classed as a a "news"-paper, then such is not the case, judging from the "roast" the Postage Stamp, in its last week's issue, handed to the Post. In the same "article" the Postage Stamp made a feeble and jaded attempt to spray the Eagle with a little of its fifth, but as one can, in ten minutes' time, walk beyond the confines of the Postage Stamp's circulation, the Eagle should have no fear of losing even one of its thousands of subscribers. Yes, I believe the Eagle is a tough Old Bird, to down, having flapped its hugh wings in these parts for more than 30 yers, and I believe that it will continue to soar high and dry long after the Postage Stamp has been licked, canceled and started on its way to the graveyard. A. D. Scott Chapel M. E. church held its first quarterly meeting March 4. Rev. Ray A. Moore occupied the chair. It was a big meeting and the pastor made a good report.
