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.

EUGENE V. DEBS. Terre Haute, Ind., Jan. 16, 1916. M. B. R. H. Hite, Prop. Waldorf Hotel. Mr. R. Hite announces the opening of the ORIENTAL GEILL of the Waldorf Cafe on the evening of February FIRST, 1916, with a Wondorful Cabaret. This high-class place will be conducted on the highest plane. 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. For some reason or other our San Diego news failed again to reach us this week although we were informed by our manager Mr. Laws, that it would be on hand. rental purposes, and a store building. The large auditorium will be used for moving pictures during the week and on Sunday will be leased by the Providence Institutional Church. The company is capitalized for $50,000. The stock is on sale now. The officers are: W. L. Fields, president; O. S. Thomas, secretary; R. M. Mitchell, treasurer; Nat R. Harding, business manager. ```markdown ``` SAN DIEGO DEPARTMENT The Eagle reporter called at the busy office of Mr. Anderson a few days ago. Mrs. Anderson regretted that business called her away, but she had to make her conversation short during the day in order to be ready to enjoy the feast to be given by the Royal Arch Masons at the hall the coming evening. Miss Arphelia Ellis, stenographer, who is setting an example for young girls to follow in business, said that she was too busy to know of any news anyway. Her sister, Mrs. E. W. Carter, and baby take up all her idle time. The question next taken up was matrimony, and even though it was leap year she was not making any proposals, as the San Diego young men do not seem to realize the responsibility for life-long companionship. However, there are a few young men in the Angel city who no doubt could win her hand. She intends going East this summer and was asked if two could not travel sweeter than one. No, doubt, but not cheaper. Right here she was interrupted by a proposal from a very handsome young man saying that he 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. Reporter, why do you persist in questioning me. I have no news for you, but you can say that ten years from today I will still be single" (pie crust). Miss Katherine Badgett is expected to return home this week. Mrs. Ralph Sanders and Miss Corona White showed Mrs. E. W. Anderson and a few of her friends some of their gracefulness at the society function a few nights ago. In fact, Miss Whites' acts were so stunning and perfect that the Eagle dropped its wings in exclamation. The Eagle is the peoples' Forum paper and we intend to keep the people posted of the doings of the race in our city. And when you see an article in the local news as to a public affair, that stands as our recommendation. Since the Exposition has opened for its second year, there seems to be a flock of worthless people from all races pouring into our city. The little petty grafters, who have been run out of the largest cities of the coast, have worked their social and political graft until their conduct has made them ashamed to look a person in the face. Now they are trying to take advantage of the better class of citizens of San Diego and bringing up many grafting and short-lived propositions. The Eagle has stood on the bridge at midnight and watched over you. Why not become unanimous and support the bridge that carried you over. Mrs. Copeland entertained her friends Thursday afternoon. Mrs. E. W. Anderson entertained 16 ladies of the Friday club last Friday. There was a late Christmas tree for Mrs. Gerard Freeman given at 30th and M streets last Satnrday evening. Refreshments were served. The Whist club, Mr. Saunders and Mr. Anderson, both shine. Who's next? Mrs. Thad. Williams and Mrs. Hayden played their hands well. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman go to the country during the whole of lent. Rev. G. W. Woodby has resigned from Mt. Zion. The Tuskegee students sang to crowded houses during the whole week. Every place they visit they sing to crowded houses. People are delighted with their singing. Mt. Zion Literary society first Tuesday night of each week meets at Mt. Zion church. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Morgan and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Norwood were guests at dinner with Rev. and Mrs. P. E. Robinson Sunday afternoon. At the Isis theater on Monday night were noticed Miss Ellen Gatewood and Mesdames Annie Hurley and C. E. Norwood. Mrs. L. A. Jones has adopted a 1-year and a half old baby girl, who hasn't any mother. We know that Mrs. Jones will be repaid for her kind act. Lots of people are fording thru the air on high life nowadays, but Mr. and Mrs. Freeman have forded the stream to their ranch. The Royal Arch Chapter held their delayed Thanksgiving sermon and reception last Monday night at the new Masonic hall. You cannot find words to express the magnificence of the affair—it is on the tongue of every one. The Chapter was somewhat disappointed at the absence of the grand high priest, J. A. Roberts of Los Angeler. The high priest, W. A. Mitchell, carried out the ceremony to perfection. Officers: H. H. Harvey, King; T. K. Lewis, Scribe; W. H. Saunders, P. S.; A. Henderson, C. H.; T. White, G. M., 1st V.; G. L. Murray, G. M., 2nd V.; G. W. Grey, Treasurer; W. G. Meadows, Secretary; Gus. Thompson, Guard. Committees: G. Thompson, T. White, A. Henderson. Guests present: E. W. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Henderson, Gus Thomas and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, Mr. and Mrs. White, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd White, Jack White and wife, W. G. Meadows and wife, W. D. Saunders and J.

Laws, Carter Waring, Jim Cassus, Tom Brown, Edward Marshall, Frank White, C. H. Murphy and P. L. Johnson. After the grand march they were all seated at a large banquet table. The high priest occupied the post of honor until the stroke of twelve, when they passed out of the banquet hall one by one. Willis Gibbs is now employed at the U. S. Grant hotel. He has the position left vacant by Jack Oliver about a year ago. Mrs. M. T. Laws reports having had a very enjoyable time among her many friends and relatives in Los Angeles. The Panama International Exposition will re-open on March 18 larger and grander than ever. Ten thousand people are expected from Los Angeles alone. Special trains will be run from San Francisco and Oakland. Those who have not had the opportunity of visiting our Fair are makiug preparations to come this year. The managing editor of the Eagle, who will make a tour of the State, will meet more than 4000 of our race and will prevail upon them to see San Diego and its Exposition. The mayor has declared Saturday, March 18, as a holiday and Gov. Johnson has given his consent that throughout the state they may may claim it as a holiday. The governor has also consented to be one of the speakers of the day at the Exposition. Every citizen should take an active part in boosting this great affair. E. Mulholland is among the new subscribers to the Eagle. How can we furnish the new for you unless you become a subscriber to the paper?

Zion church. Every one present certainly did enjoy the THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE GODH M. T. LAWS, Business M. T. LAWS, Business Manager program, and those who did not attend missed a rare treat. San Diego Miss Sonnie Mason gave a recitation that bears repeating at any of our gatherings. Come out on the first Tuesday night in April and you will again hear this touching recitation, especially ye men folks; it is for you. Miss Blanche Williams did justice to a solo as she always does, and she was asked to sing again at our next meeting. Every piece on the program was simply excellent. The beautiful welcoming address was delivered by Miss Exonia Mulholland and a most brilliant response delivered by Chas. Dodge, could not be excelled. In the spelling match Blanche Goodwin won the prize. Every one is cordially invited to come out to our next program first Tuesday in April. A debate by four young ladies will be something extra. We hope to encourage our young people all we can, as we cerrainly have a bright set of girls in our midst. Boys, you must get a move on you, the girls are ahead; they are not waiting for you, but with outstretched arms to bid you God speed. Up then, young man and girl yourself for the work of self-cultivation. Set a high price on your leisure moments—they are sands of precious gold. A great deal of talent is lost in the world for the lack of a little courage. The fact is, to do anything in this world worth doing we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and the danger, but jump in and scramble through as best we can. Young men, you are wanted from the street corners, from the saloons and play-houses, from the loafers' den, from the idler's promenade and turn your steps into the highway of noble aim and earnest work. Always remember that you should enter into some kind of business for yoursself, and the very best way to climb the ladder is to mind your own business. Mrs. C. E. Norwood is chairman of the literary program committee. A cordial invitation is extended to the public on Friday night Mnrch 17, at the Mt Zion Baptist church. Rev. H. B. Thomas of Santa Barbara, moderator of the Western Baptist association, will preach for us. Come out and hear what he has in store and be benefited thereby. Mrs. R. Ryder is getting up a play for the B. Y. P. U., which will be staged the latter part of this month. Watch for the date.

U. and Sunday School of the Mt. Zion church, of which Rev. G. W. Woodby is pastor, was in every way a brilliant success. Mrs. Woodby spared no pains in giving the girls an enjoyable evening. After much merriment and laughter and singing, refreshments were served. Mrs. Moltan and Mrs. Hart served the refreshments. Those present were Mrs. C. E. Norwood, president of the B. Y. P.

Miss Annie Mulholland could not attend, as she is still a victim of the la gripppe but we all sincerely hope she will be able to be out soon. Mrs. Annia Hurley and Miss Elli Gatewood of the Palomar Apartments are her, for the winter from Louisville, Kentucky. Mrs. C. E. Norwood has made it very pleasant for the ladies since they have been in our city, and we hope that San Diego in general will not forget to entertain strangers while in our city. During one of the greatest floods in its history the town of San Diego was entirely cut off from the outside world. Hundreds of homes were destroyed and more than a million dollars worth of damage was done and hundreds of lives were lost, among them were Japanese and Chinamen, but as far as The Eagle reporter has seen there has been no Colored people listed among the dead. The only bridge left standling was the one over False Bay at Ocean Beach. The condition was indescribable before the Otay dam broge, since then it can never be pictured. The little Mexican town of Tia Juana was practically destroyed by flood, all that was left of the race track was the grandstand and the stables. But President Conforth of the Lower California Jockey. Club says he will place hundreds of men to work at once and by the time the county roads and the steam roads are in condition, and which has been said that the steam road would be out of commission for three or four weeks, about that time the tracks will be opened larger and better. The outside world to an extent are laboring under the impression that San Diego as a whole are among the sufferers, but those do not visit the surrounding outskirts only know the condition as they read it. The Exposition ground, which sets high on the hill at Balboa Park is as far from the flood danger as the Statue of Liberty. Mr. Geo. Murray announces that he will take unto himself a better half in a short time, as the strain of ducking the leap year proposals is too great. Cut of a Portion of the Flooded District Courtesy of San Diego Union The Eagle reporter's sayings are coming true rapidly. Mr. John Cloud, San Diego's hand-somest bud was picked off by the Cupid last Saturday night, Jan. 29th. He was married to Miss Charline Lawson of Denver, Colo. And will make San Diego their future home. A certain young lady near East San Diego said that she will do her leap year plucking soon. Mr. Frank Ellis of Coronado said that it is a good thing to be married, but during these flooded times he can't see where two can live cheaper than one. Mr. Floyd Williams has been ducking the Cupid about long enough. If the affection on Greeley street is not strong enough, he ought to go up the Silver Strand. Where and for whom does Harry Hall buy his one pound box of candy and tries to give it to one dozen girls. If you want it to go so far you should buy it at the 5 and 10 cent stores. A man always tries to protect a woman from every man except himself. But Mr. Dave Johnson is trying to protect them from himself. Miss Head, who has been employed as head matron and man-curist at Tia Juana race track, but has been taking life easy in the city since the flood, but her lucky days during the races will enable her to have a few days of recreation and return at the opening with gold to spare. Mrs. E. C. Hannahs expects to leave for Los Angeles to spend several weeks with her husband, who is in the latter city. Mr. Joe Robinson's pool room on Third street was partially destroyed by fire last week and is now closed for repairs. Several railroad porters who were on this end, left for their home via the steamers. PROMINENT RACE MAN, LEADER IN FRATERNAL AFFAIRS, VISITS ANGEL CITY Hon. E. H. Holmes, Spokane, Washington, one of the most prominent race men and leaders in the fraternal affairs of the Evergreen State, has been a welcome visitor to the Angel City during the past two weeks. While here he has been the house-guest of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, 1609 East Fifteenth street, and has been the motive of several social functions, theater parties by former Mississippians, as he is a native of the Southern State. During the past year Mr. Holmes was custodian of the Washington building at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco. In the Inland Empire Mr. Holmes is a live wire in the political world, having held the responsible position of Deputy in the County Treasurer's office of Spokane County. He is prominent in fraternal circles, holding the Grand Senior Wardenship in the Grand Lodge of Masons of the Washington Jurisdiction. On Tuesday evening he was the honored guest of the St. John Lodge of Masons, where he was received with high Masonic honors in keeping with his station. Some years ago Mr. Holmes and Dr. J. Gordon McPherson published "The Forum," one of the foremost Negro weeklies of the Inland Empire. While in the city he was entertained by Grand Master T. A. Harris, Mrs. Julia Shackleford, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Patterson, a valued employee of the Postoffice Department, former residents of Seattle; Miss Gertrude Chrisman and Mrs. Chrisman, formerly pioneers of northern Idaho; Drs. Gordon and Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. Boogs. Dr. Nelson and Mr. Holmes were boyhood chums in old Mississippi. He was also entertained at breakfast by Dr. and Mrs. J. Gordon McPherson and was extended many courtesies by Editor and Mrs. B. Bass of the "Eagle." He also delivered timely addresses at Eighth and Towne Ave. Church, of which the genial Dr. J. Logan Craw is minister, and at St. Paul Baptist Church, of which Dr. H. W. Tilman is pastor. After a brief visit to San Diego, Mr. Holmes takes his leave for Spokane, the great Inland Empire, Thursday, carrying with him the best wishes of his many fraternal and admiring friends in the Angel City, who hold him in high esteem. Should the time come when friend Holmes should decide to make a change in residence, the people of Southern California will welcome him. LINCOLN BIRTHDAY EXERCISES A. B.

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. The audience certainly went away justified and was glad that it had been there. No. 31054 Notice to Creditors Estate of Chester H. Anderson, deceased.

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.

THE MUSICIAN ```markdown ``` V This League has for its object the real betterment of all members of the human race and most especially all members of the Colored race. It is a League of Justice. The principles underlying this organization are the ever-enduring foundations of any political democracy which in its fullness will be the ever-developing crown and glory of this great American nation. There is a most urgent need for this statemanlike and businesslike organization. The principles encouched will not encroach upon those of any other or similar institution, nor will it interfere with the Federal principles—whose services it hopes to enlist, to the end that all Races and Nations in this country may be fully warranted in proclaiming to the world: Now we are a part of the government of the United States. "Municipal institutions constitute the strength of free nations. A nation may establish a system of free government, but without municipal institutions it cannot have the spirit of liberty." Burns. This American Government stands for liberty. It has engendered the spirit of freedom because of the establishment of its municipalities. Unto each responsible unit of the U. S. government the fullest degree of citizenship belongs. A responsible system of government depends upon the recognition and acceptance of the responsibilities of its units; and if the present generation has not reached a state of responsibility, the blame for this rests with those who have failed to remove the defects that lie between the White and Black Races. To rule by terror is to degrade the life of the ruled. From that which is degraded little that is in keeping with reason can be expected. Crying against the faults and weaknesses of those whom we compel to cling to a degraded position will never add to the bettermen of those who are denounced. The All-American League shall strive to establish, by peaceful, parliamentary methods, these facts: That it is the inherent right of every man to say how his inheritance shall be used, and how his possessions are to be employed. All that interferes with questions of laws, labor, domesticity, sanitation, education and religion, should be carefully examined by those whose scrutiny will not be anticipated by those who are jealous of the rapid successes of other races. Sir W. B, Rich whom his many friends are glad to hear is much improved. Miss Marie Young formerly of San Diego. Now making her home in this city. PAINTINGS OF CHRIST. Give Artists' Ideals. Only under just and humane principles of government will this nation become progressive, and as is the measure of the might and power of the ten millions of human beings and their resources, who bear faithful and true allegiance to "the flag and the Republic for which it stands." And all, who, living under such just and humane conditions, would be every ready, willing and zealous to soak the earth with their blood, bearing the banner of the rampant U. S. A. The All-American League shall enquire into the causes which make one Race more powerful and rich than another. It shall aim at teaching what is to be done to bring about better understanding among different Races. It shall collect and compile data appertaining to the numerical, political, social and financial, biologic and economic strength of the Colored Race. It shall encourage equality before the law; uniformity of conditions for the exercise and enjoyment of domestic, property and civil rights to trade and travel anywhere and everywhere within the United States, free from molestation and persecution. With able champions at the head of this movement a relentless and unremitting combat shall be waged for attaining unto eligibility for the exercise and enjoyment of political and civil right of citizenship within each and every one of the constituent, political units of this country, and the provision of suitable and adequate scholastic facilities for establishing and imparting the necessary knowledge and worship designed for the purpose of engendering within this generation and its posterity true spirits local Nationalism engrafted upon and conjoined with the one general spirit that should pervade this entire country, the spirit of all persons who are true and faithful in their allegiance to this American Republic—America for Americans. By William E. Curtis. In the Chicago Record-Herald of May 24th, writes—"The history of gentlemen in Cleveland, Ohio, who were interested in Art were discussing the various conceptions of the Savor by different artists. They were discussing the necessary art, employing a certain-number of artists to paint portraits of the Savor, each expressing, without instructions or suggestions, his own taste. He must have appeared at his maturity." The results of this experiment are now on exhibition in the rooms on the American front second Street, at Westport Street, New York. These pictures were all paid for at the Artists' price. The five great old Masters and one late Judaic great of the Company, Mr Julius F. James vice-president, and Jephtha H. Wade, Jr., secretary and treasurer. The purpose of the Company is to vivify the personality of our Savior in the minds of the American people. The five great old Masters and one late Judaic great of the Company, Mr Julius F. James vice-president, and Jephtha H. Wade, Jr., secretary and treasurer. These portraits were on exhibition at the World's Fair, Chicago 1883, chosen from the World's Congress of religion, acted as judges. Which of these conceptions appealed to our hearts and serenity predominate in the expression of the face. Yet, with that holy calm of renunciation, giving glory to the Mercy and charity which he brought to this life, especially for oppressed and those whom the world scorns. Every Day You Need Silver Plate That Wears "18 47 ROGERS BROS" Silver that stands the test of every day hard wear on the table.

"Silver Plate that Wears" The new "Vintage" pattern is well worth This country has arbitrarily, harmfully and prejudicially violated, impaired and infringed the basic family, property, trading and travel rights of educated and civilized Americans. And when by petition to local and National government for redress of these grievances have been brought under the notice of these departments, they have acted, either by omission or commission, in a manner which seems to convey the impression to the aggrieved citizens that this government is without adequate and constitutional authority sufficient to safeguard effectively all persons in the full and equal enjoyment of their calling to inspect.

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." Preparedness the Slogan all Along the Line. THE SOUTHLAND By Sidney P. Dones For the benefit of my Texas brothers and sisters I am going to mention a few things I saw and did on my recent visit to our home State. I left Los Angeles on the Golden State Limited on Dec. 7th, 1915, arriving 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 El Paso as I intended, on account of the death of my sister, but proceeded on to Marshall, stopping only at San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth. On arriving at Marshall I was met at the station by my brother, T. W. Dones, who is a farmer and groceryman at Marshall. I then went to my home, which is seven miles southeast of Marshall. There I met my mother. Right here I pause and wonder if there is a young man or woman in this city who has a mother in some far-off place that they have not seen in eight years, which is the time it had been when I saw my mother last. If so, my dear young man or woman, I would advise you to take a trip back home, where you can breathe the fresh air of purse love, the love of a mother. When I got out of the buggy at my mother's door and met that old Christian lady of about 52 years of age, with her arms outstretched and tears in her eyes, I could not but thank God that he had spared me to see her again, and when she told me how she had prayed for my success in the West I was thoroughly convinced that through her prayers I was able to make a trip home to see her. Somehow or other it got out at my country home that I was to be at old St. John's Church on Christmas day to speak. This old church is the church that my mother and father belong to. My father, who is a deacon, and has been for twenty-five years, of this church; all of the young men who were my associates when I was a boy, were there; I mean those who are still living in that part of the country; and when I arrived at church and went into the pulpit by a side door entrance I could see the faces of men and women who were boys and girls when I left, and my heart went out to my old friends who are still tilling the soil in the backwoods of Texas. Although they are still in the backwoods of Texas, yet I could see in their faces true friendship. I felt like I was at a big family reunion. I visited Wiley University, the school I attended some years. I found there some of my old schoolmates, who are teachers. I also met my old friend and president, Dr. M. W. Dagans, who is still the very life of that great school, of which he is president. I also met Prof. Billings, A. M., LL.B., who also is connected with Wiley. Dr. Dagans and Prof. Billings send regards to Prof. T. A. Greer, Mr. Troy and Prof. E. L. Chew. I also met a man in Marshall who is a cousin to Mr. P. J. Anderson. In Dallas I met a Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, who are related to Mr. Bailey on Elwood street. In Ft. Worth I met Mrs. Carrington, mother of Mrs. Bynum of this city; she sends regards. I also met Dr. Taylor of Ft. Worth, who is a brother of the late Attorney Taylor of this city. Everybody seems anxious to know of California, and anxiously inquired about friends and relatives who are living in the west. I met mothers who say they have sons somewhere in the west that they have no heard from in years. I hope through the wide circulation of the California Eagle some young man may see his duty and at least write a letter home to his mother. I spoke at St. John Baptist Church, Marshall, Texas; Bethesda Baptist Church, Marshall; also spoke at Carthage, Texas, and Mt. Gilead, Ft. Worth. At each place I saw faces I knew years ago, which made me feel proud that I was from the Lone Star State. I found men engaged in almost every walk of life. I found in Ft. Worth doctors, lawyers, drugists and bankers. I found men in all walks of life, making good, and above all I found a race of people living together, using for their legal adviser a Colored lawyer; for their doctor, a Colored physician; for their insurance, a Colored agent; for their groceries, a Colored groceryman, and even their money deposited in a Colored bank; for their news they read ```markdown ``` Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., Feb. , 51916 the Colbred papers. I found the professional men of Texas generally a wealthy class, as well as the majority of business men. I visited the office of the Dallas Express, whose editor is W. E. King. I met Attorney Griggs of Ft. Worth, who made it very pleasant for me. I had dinner New Year's day with Mr. and Mrs. Jones of Thomas avenue, Dallas; they are the parents of Misses Sammie and Bernice Jone, former classmates of mine and 'now teachers in the public school. I also met Miss Lucile Epperson, daughter of Mrs. Paul Davis of Oakland, Cal. She sends love to Miss Johnie Mack of this city. I can say to those who come to the far west from the Lone Star State, you have much to be proud of, the people are getting along fine there; they are prospering along all lines, just as we are here; and above all, they are together there, and we are not, here. I bring greeting from your brothers and sisters of Texas. Respectfully yours, SIDNEY P. DONES, 412-14-15 Germain Bldg NOTED PREACHER VISITS PASTORATE TO DO EVANGELIS-TIC AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORK Rev. G. W. Reed, formerly pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Stockton, Cal., resigned his charge at that place the first of last month, and is now engaged in evangelistic work, also lecturing and conducting schools of methods for training efficient teachers for Sunday-school work. Rev. Reed is considered one of the Pacific Coast's greatest preachers. As an expert in young people's work he stands alone among the race on the Coast. Rev. Reed just finished a post-graduate course from the San Joaquin County School of Methods, and holds, as a result of that course, a certificate from the International Sunday School Association. This, together with eleven years' experience in active service in the State of Indiana, qualifies him unquestionably for the work which he has chosen to take up. Rev. Reed is also a lecturer of no mean ability. He is exceedingly brilliant in his discussion of the race question. His service is often in demand by both white and Colored organizations in the northern part of the State. Rev. Reed is now engaged in a series of meetings for the Tabernacle Baptist Church, of which Dr. Gordon is pastor. His sermons have been helpful and ably delivered; everyone that has heard him expresses themselves as being well pleased in listening to his wonderful discourse. Since the meeting has been going on there have been seven converts, and several backsliders reclaimed. While in this city (Los Angeles) Rev. Reed's address is 714 Ceres avenue, or you may address him, if you need his service, P. O. Box 692, Stockton, Cal. THE FACE OF A CHILD IN A FUR COAT LITTLE PORTIA EDMONIA GREER Wishes you all to know that she has a fine baby brother who weighs 8 pounds. She cordially invites you to come and see her and little Douglas Robinson Greer. DEMOCRATIC PRAYER (From the Rascal Whipper) DEMOCRATIC PRAYER Most Worshipful Woodrow Wilson, President of all these United States and Shepherd of the Democratic flock; thou who holdest great juicy slices of pie in the hollow of thy ample hands, when not holding thy new wife, and dealeth it out according to thy righteous will; we, thy poor, weatherbeaten and unworthy constituents; come tumbling down on our tummies to pour out our political devotions to thee and bless thy glorious Democratic name and to wish thee a large family of little Democrats in due season. Give ear unto our supplications, Great Political King. Oh, mighty hast already s jobs with thy Trade farce, da a war. Thou mighty pie-dish never had any way. Thou kni history of the hast written dupses follow went to war. Stripes for four "Honest" Abstain stuffin out of a crats do with ter of a century we hunker do Master Wilson, we thank thee that we are anxious and waiting Democrats. We are anxious to know what thou wilt have us do. We are waiting for anything that thy excellency may see fit to give us. We are waiting for thee to give us 20 cent cotton and 8 cent cattle. We are waiting for better times in general. Some of us haven't paid our taxes for two years. We will confess that it is not as well with us as it might be. By some unaccountable reason several of us have not got jobs worth speaking about. And thou knowest a Democrat with no office and no work is in a devil of a fix. We simply can't hurrah for "Wilson Prosperity" under such circumstances. It makes us feel like sheep-killing dogs. We could stand it to be without work, and have our rations run short and see times get hard, if it wasn't for the infernal Republics making fun of our lot and saying "we told you so." Master Wilson, that hurts like blue blazes. That is the straw that is breaking our backs. Maybe this is the reward for our wickedness. But if something is not done pretty quick thou mayest not find us waiting at the gate. There are other parties calling for us. We hate to pray like this, but starvation is hell on manners, and we can't help it. If our prayer is unpolished it is due to the desperation of starvation. But with all our crudeness and lack of manners we want to emphasize the fact that we are absolutely ready for our reward and we will accept thy pie blessings as gratefully as ever a little dog accepted a chicken's liver. Mighty Master, thou knowest we can't be Democrats without reward. Thou knowest we voted for thee with the understanding that we inherit the offices and the emoluments thereof. Yet we see Republicans holding over everywhere while we are down in the gutter. Again, we declare that we are ready. We will take anything that thou hast. We would be dog-catcher for the back districts of Hepsidam. We would be tick inspector. We would be fertilizer smeller. Just anything thou hast to dispense we will thankfully accept, and the quicker the better. And Master Wilson, there is one important question we would ask thee. It may be treason in us to want to know such a thing, but we can't help it. It is this: When dost thou expect the Free Trade tariff to begin to lower the cost of living? We know it is wrong to be impatient, but, Great Chief, if something is not done pretty quick we are going to have hard work keeping the party together; besides, we are going to have a harder time keeping our own souls and bodies together. Something to eat is getting shorter and shorter with us, and the price is mounting to the sky. Worthy Master, we wish that thou wouldst explain this tariff business a little. We can't understand it to save our lives. We thought reducing the tariff made things cheaper. We have always been taught to believe in that theory. Again, Mighty Chief, we beseech thee to hear our prayers. For heaven's sake don't saddle us with a bond issue. We read in the papers that thou art considering a big bond issue to get money to run the government, and dodgast them bonds. Shouldst remember that Cleveland sold bonds, and it busted our party into smithereens. We never can survive a bond issue. Bonds means slavery, and slavery is worse than war, and war is worse than hell. It will bury us so deep we will never hear the gun fire this year. Cut down salaries rather than sell bonds. Oh, mighty Woodrow, thou who hast already skinned us out of our jobs with thy business-busting Free Trade farce, don't get us scalped in a war. Thou knowest, dear and mighty ple-distributer, that we have never had any luck with war, anyway. Thou knowest that in the great history of the American people thou hast written how we Democratic dupses followed the party call and went to war against the Stars and Stripes for four long years, and how "Honest" Abe Lincoln licked the stuffin out of us and made us Democrats do without pie for over a quarter of a century. Oh, Waiting One, we hunker down on our Free Trade jeans-covered knees and petition thee 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 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-spittles 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 Chafn 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. Through the untiring efforts of the "Fighting Parson," Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, a great Sunday afternoon Parliament is to be inaugurated here in Greater Los Angeles, and will fill a long-felt want in the eastern section of the city, where thousands of the most industrious Colored citizens reside; where questions affecting the moral, civic, religious, industrial and commercial interest of the race will be discussed along broad humanitarian lines. Tomorrow ((Sunday) afternoon at 3 o'clock will mark the avidious opening of the PARLIAMENT, which promises to be a great event in the history of progressive Negroes of the city; many of the prominent business and professional men will be present to assist in the launching of the Parliament. Madam Ophelia Boyd, the sweet soprano, will sing; also the famous Mt. Zion Baptist choir has been invited to sing M. B. Among the prominent speakers who will address the Parliament will be Dr. Joseph T. Hall, who will give his observation of the effect of "The Clansman" throughout the State in stirring racial bitterness. Rev. Dr. W. H. Tilman will speak on "The Negroes in Business." Hon. Milton on "The Negro Real. Estater." "The Fighting Parson," Dr. McPherson, author-of the famous "Who Killed Cook Robin?" article, which created such a state-wide discussion, will speak on "The Social Side-of Life." Attorney W. O. Tyler will speak on "The Bar and the Negro." Mrs. L. THE MARKET MAN SENATOR H. H. LYONS AP. POINTED LABOR COMMISSIONER No appointment made by Governor Johnson during his entire administration gives more general satisfaction, in Southern California than the promotion of assistant Labor Commissioner H. H. Lyon to that of State Labor Commissioner made vacant by the death of Col. Tobin. Commissioner Lyon has for a number E. J. DE LOREY FOR SUPERVISOR FROM THE FOURTH DISTRICT A strong man is the universal verdict when it is known that the successful business man, E. J. De Lorey, will make the race for supervisor from the fourth district. BENNETH H. His long residence and splendid record as one of the forces which has made Los Angeles great is indeed a strong asset and as the campaign progresses no doubt Mr. De Lorey will be heard of with a strong support from all classes. Number 52 Line. W. Coombs of Pasadena, member of the Woman's Court Commission, will also speak. This promises to be one of the greatest uplift movements ever launched in Greater Los Angeles and should have the moral support of the pulpit, press, and the citizen in general. Central Hall should be crowded on Sunday afternoon. The liberal men and women of Greater Los Angeles are urged to attend the opening of the Parliament and bring their friends, as a great time is promised. Come early to secure seats. Central Hall is the place. 1 of years been "labor's champion" in Southern California and his appointment to this important post is a well merited promotion. The Eagle congratulates both the Governor and the State Commissioner upon the elevation. The Colored people recognize in Mr. Lyons a friend who appreciates their efforts for progress and one who does not hesitate to assist and encourage them to do so. OAKLAND JOTTINGS By "Jakie" Peyton Robert Chandler, fifty-one years a resident of Oakland, died at his late home, 1012 36th St. January 30, and was laid away Wednesday, the third. The funeral service was held at the 15th St. church. Rev. John Pointer, an old acquaintance of the family, was assisted by Rev. Brown, pastor of the church, and Rev. R. W. Haines in conducting the service, which was very effective. Mr. Chandler was born in Jamaica, W. L., in 1840 and came to Oakland about 51 years ago, where he has resided until his death a few days ago. He was highly respected by all who knew him and beloved by his friends. He lived into the ripe old age of 75 years. Friends came from far and near to be present at the funeral, among whom, was Mrs. Philip O'Riley of Sacramento. The pall-bearers were old settlers and friends, Mr. Geo. Godfrey, Kendall Cows, Fred Moore, John Riley, Fritz Jackson, and J. C. Peyton. Mr. Philip O'Riley of Sacramento took a strange notion a few days ago and had a beard he has been growing for upward of 30 years chopped off—it is said that Mrs. O'Riley left home and it is not known whether or not she has returned. Billie Robinson, one of the oldest men on the observation cars, received the sad news of his wife's continued illness at Chicago, where she went for her health a few months ago. The many friends of both Mr. and Mrs. Robinson wish for her speedy recovery. 500-510 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco Our vulcanizing plant is the largest and best in the west for repairing cases and tubes.

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.

An enlarged platform will be built and gorgeously illuminated with electric flowers for this entertaining, instructive, historical and spectacular production. Keep this date in mind and attend, rain or shine. The third quarterly meeting services will be held on Sunday, March 26. Presiding Elder Rev, J. H. Wilson will be present and in charge of the same. Let every loyal African Methodist member do your full duty upon this occasion and look forward with prayerful anticipations to the coming of this time. The District Conference and Sunday school convention of the Los Angeles District will convene in Riverside, Cal., April 5, 6, 7. The delegates that will represent First church are Mesdames J. C. Slaughter, J. L. Craw and Alethia Holcomb. Mr. G. M. Warner, District steward Hon. Willis O. Tyler and the pastor. The Men's Co-operative Club is moving forward by leaps and bound, and will give the church the new carpet for Easter Sunday. Hon. J. B. Bass delivered a rousing and inspiring address to this body on "Progress" last Sabbath and from the same the club selected its slogan, viz., "Be something, Do something, Get something." The new month is in and each MAN will see the financial secretary to exemplify the truth of this slogan Sunday. Don't miss the "House Musical and Supper" at Mrs. W. Montgomery's, Tuesday night, March 14. Auspices of Beacon Light Society. An extraordinary Musical and Literary treat at the church on Tuesday night, March 28.

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.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH Livest there a man woman boy or girl who does not attend a religious service at the E. 8th St., Christian church. We have a pastor there, Bro. D. L. 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.
