106 Years Ago Abraham Lincoln Earth Born Savior of Mankind Was Born Monday is the Anniversary of Frederick Douglas Moses of His Race A. B. A day, a year, a century; in His eternal plan; The three or one sufficient is for God to make a man. He took of dust the strongest part and cast it in your mold, Then breathed therein the breath of life and made your heart of gold. A heart so great, so strong, so true, a heart deep filled with tears. And every fiber tuned to feel, the needs of coming years. To teach you Natures' finest croed, He gave you woods and streams And songs of birds, and labor hard, to fashion out your dreams. Here you were taught by torrents and hills ascending height. How patience, strength and fortitude must carve the path of right. He gave you then a rugged form, your wisdom to defend. And vision, passing common dreams; of victory at the end. That vision caught by you was held, through pain and upward strife; It kept you free from small men's doubt, and gave you purpose life. Kentucky's days and nights beheld, the master plan unroll, And gave you grief, too poignant far; too deep to warp the soul. Where weaker spirits failed, you stood; believing men should be, Because in God's owu image made, unhindered; upright; free. With faith in God and man you pledged your life to raise your land, Above the aim of blood stained wealth, free from the slaver's hand. You deemed the human form to be, the temple for God's love, And sought to make men understand, this wisdom, from above. Your mission has not failed on earth; but men still vainly press their fellows down by force of arms; still traffic in distress. You stood for peace and common weal, you stood for manhood, too, You stood for Christ-like hearts in men; too kind to be untrue. If in that Realm beyond the veil, the deeds of men you see— You see how death stalks through the world; nor is there Liberty. We long for peace with fervent hearts, we pray as you have prayed. That UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD no longer be delayed. PHONE MAIN 1594 Volume 29 The California Eagle Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., Feb. 12, 1916 ABRAHAM LINGOLN. BY WILLIAM NAUNS RICK. POOR ORIGINAL THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE'S LINCOLN DAY PROGRAM At Providence Institutional Baptist church, corner of Crocker and Agatha Sts., Sunday evening at 8 p.m. sharp. The Old Soldiers of the Soldiers' Home at Sawtelle will be our special guests as well as the ex-slaves. Sunday evening's service at the Providence church promises to be a remarkable one in many respects, as the evening will be given entirely over to the CALIFORNIA EAGLE for the purpose of holding appropriate exercises commemorating the birth of the world's greatest humanitarian and statesman, Abraham Lincoln. The great Providence choir and its great pipe organ will peal forth the tidings of this earth born Savior of mankind of His birth and of his greatness by patriotic song. The great Providence Symphony orchestra will play several selections likened unto those of the choir. The program will be furnished by the Eagle staff, we are not going to say that we can make good, but we believe that the one which has been arranged will be a rare treat. We make special mentiof of Judge Griffin Jones of the Sunrise Court, who bears a message on Mr. Lincoln, the humanitarian. Mr. Jones is a fearless friend of the race and is in a position to speak along the lines as indicated above. The Old Soldiers will come up from the home in a body. They will be brought from the station to the church in autos which have been kindly donated by the Sidney P. Dones Co., by Mr., E. C. Hannahs and others. Any old person who wants to come out to these services, but on account of infirmities cannot come, notify this office by calling phone Main 1594 and we shall be pleased to [ send auto for them. The Eagle appreciates very much the assistance we have been rendered in preparing for this occasion by friends from all sources and of all classes. Mr. A. D. Lacey has kindly consented to look after the decorations; Mr. L. C. Luke is our special ambassador to make it comfortable for the ex slave. SOJOURNER TRUTH SPRING BIG SURPRISE Last week the officers and past officers of Sojourner Truth announced that on Friday evening the members were wanted to join in a sort of financial get-together roll and reception. On the evening set apart many of the members, knowing the heatless condition of the building did not appear. Those among the brave who were willing to face even a little cold weather came out and on entering the club building which in every other respect was up-to-date in modern equipment, were pleasantly surprised when they realized that they were in a well heated building, and began to inquire what miracle was being performed, when Mrs. J. M. Scott, who was in the chair, could no longer withhold her secret enthusiasm, began to tell the story of how one of the members and her devoted husband, Mr. and Mrs. Paterson, had prevailed upon Mrs. Anita Baldwin the needs of the home, and how she, Mrs. Baldwin, had given her personal check for one hundred and ninety-five dollars for a beautiful steam heat furnace that was even then doing the magic work that provided so much comfort for those present. Mrs. Scott's remarks were not lengthy, but in them she encroached the idea of a great financial rally which is to be started in the near future for the further development and expansion of Sojourner Truth. Every race-loving citizen of Los Angeles and all California is asked to contribute one dollar to this great movement. THE GET TOGETHER MOVEMENT SPREADS Becomes a Reality—Read the Following Our next week's issue will give in detail the great movement which has centralized in the big office building at 11th and Central avenue. One of the finest in the city. Racement, get together, take over 57 room office and apartment building. Won't be ousted out by white agents of the up-town buildings any longer. Building to be called the B. T. Washington Building. Will be of the highest class. Spaces being rapidl taken by race men and women. Sidney P. Dones was selected as the agent and manager. R. C. Owens gives the following endorsement: Sidney P. Dones Co. Gentlemen-I heartil endorse the step you have taken in opening a modern office building for the colored business and professional men and women. You have certainly made a commendable move. Every colored business and professional man and woman should move in your. Building now and not wait until white agents drive them out, as they are doing now. Federick Douglass, M ses of His Race. Monday is the 99th Anniversary of his birth I wish you much success. Respectfully ours. R. C. OWENS. This building is surrounded with 60 per cent of the colored people of Los Angeles, where they have no car fare' to pa to get to it. Where they will get the courtesies due them. Large front offices in suite or single, suitable for doctors, lawyers, real estate dealers, insurance agents, chiropodists, dentists, hair dressers, manicurists, stenographers, dressmakers, tailors, business colleges. Also a few light housekeeping apartments. There are more than a million dollars spent annually with other business and professional men and women. Why? Because the colored business is too scattering. We need more colored business. There are no colored banks, no colored shows, no colored general merchandise stores. Why, because we need to get our business together. Business and professional men get together and make places for the colored boy and girl that is graduating in the public schools annually. To the colored race in general patronize your own race in every way you can, let's make better times in the west 104 ourselves. Here we make the money and we spend the money, but who gets the benefit? This building is located at the corner of 11th and Central Ave. No. 10131.

FLETCHERISMS The Enemies of Beauty Real beauty, combining both physical and mental characteristics, has powerful enemies that insidiously work at all times. Age, the most feared of all, should be greeted gracefully for what is more beautiful and charming than the well preserved, well groomed woman whose calm dignity is crowned by adorable grey or white hair blending softly with a skin that does not show lines and set creases caused by passions and envy. Passions and faults are the real destroyers of beauty for they indelibly imprint your thoughts and actions on the display sign of your real self, namely, the face and eyes An inward thought, "My, I can't she wonderful," has been quickly dispelled at the first smile or close scrutiny. Do not permit angry or envious thoughts or emotions to occupy your mind. Anther real enemy is the mode of living. Regular, well kept hours or sleep and meals, moderate exercise which should not be abused, plenty of fresh air combined with a sufficient thought and care for the hygiene, in all its forms, will work wonders toward extending the length of beauty's reign. Remember this, the features are the index to the thoughts and actions. A beautiful inward character will show a beautiful exterior providing ordinary common, sense is exercised in the mode of thought and living. "Fletcherize your complexion." Next week—The Skin.

I am in love with a young man who is in the East. He asked me to marry him some time ago and insisted that I agree for him to come West next month to claim me as his bride. I think a great deal of him, and am anxious to become his wife. But he says that we must live with my parents until we have gotten a start in life. This I do not think best. What is your opinion? A.—It is best that a young married couple branch out to themselves under all conditions. If they thing that impossible, before hand, they should stay single until such is possible. Can you tell me what is good for cold feet? A.—Put a small amount of mustard in your shoes before putting them on. You will find that your feet dill stay warm throughout the day. Don't you think that a tall woman and a short man make a very poor showing on the street? And don't you think that a tall girl is foolish to marry a short man? A.—I think that any girl should marry the man she loves, regardless of his height. Although a tall lady and a short man do not look so well together. It is ordered, by the Court, that all persons interested in the estate of said deceased, appear before the said Superior on the 2nd day of March 1916, at 9 o'clock: a. m. of said day, at the Court Room of Superior Court, Department 2 thereof, in the Court House, in said County of Los Angeles, State of California to show cause why an order should not be granted to the administrator of said estate to sell so that the real estate of said deceased be necessary to pay the bebs of the deceased and the charges of administration.

The pastor also pronounced a splendid eulogy of the deceased member of the church, Sister Josephine Brown; while the eulogy was being pronounced, the congregation stood with bowed heads and paid tribute to the memory of this faithful, zealous, christian church worker. The most interesting and encouraging reports imaginable were submitted by the officers and heads of the various departments.

They BRAND NEW Final Treat of The Season HONY- CONCERT THE Symphony Orchestra FEBRUARY 8th, 1916 National Baptist Church and Agatha Streets General Admission, 10c if not helpful, was very interesting. Rev. J. D. Gordon preached a wonderful sermon, taking for his text the motto text of the Sabbath school lesson. He said in part that the denominations of this day had all made the great blunder of too much world righteousness or a doctrine of dogmas, but the true religion of Christ is to find a way to imbibe, to take into your being the very personality of Christ. When this is done we will do more than speak in tongues. A visible tongue of fire will burn over each believers head as a proof of his union with Christ. He continued by saying that whenever he could find some man or some set of men that could heal the sick, a touch and raise the dead at a word he would bid his denomination good-bye, that is, if he could not remain in his church and practice this new found knowledge. But until then said he, why change from one denomination and start up another. He finished by saying that the minister must have something to give, he must have words backed up by a consciousness of spiritual union with God. Sunday night Rev. Reed of Stockton gave a most helpful address to the Missionary Society on the work of women. Rev. W. H. M. Dickerson of Pasadena was present Sunday night attending the service at his home church. The deacons of the church were installed by the pastor. After the installation remarks, Deacon Harris responded in behalf of the board with a most interesting talk.

Since the beginning of the year Bro. McMickens has preached on the Sunday school lessons and has brought to the minds of his listeners many truths. For sometime he has discussed the origin of the church and said 'the lame man leaping and later praising and serving God was just another addition to the church. He said some theolograms say that the 5000 and 3000 people added on one day were all men but of course it is no known fact. He also spoke of how everyone had all things in common at that time and how Ananias tried to deceive the people by keeping part of the proceeds for himself. It was the first lie of the church and death to both himself and wife was the result. He said God, today, holds us responsible for all of our false statements and in the end eternal death will be the result if we will not righten our mistakes. In the evening he delivered a splendid installation sermon to all the officers of the church. Philips Chapel C.M.E. Church . tendance and interest. Both services Sunday were well attended.

His discourse was beautiful and full of valuable information. Pastor, Rev, J. C. Anderson, preached at the evening service, ext, Luke 2:7, "Because there was no room for them in the inn." He preached a soul stirring sermon. Rev. Anderson is a young man of affable diposition, broad hearted and wide awake, with such qualities and with support from the members and friends of the church he will succeed. The parable of the Ten Virgins rendered on Monday night was a decided success. Mr. and Mrs. Jno Hall were present and rendered several selections to the Delight of those present. Thre will be a rally for the pastor next Sunday. Communion at both services. We urge the members and friends to be present. The choir organized and elected their officers at last rehearsal. R. Mitchell was elected president with Mrs. A. C. H. Billbrew as organist. They are planning to do some effectual work. Order of services, Phillips Chapel C.M.E. church, 1406 Newton street: Monday, 2 p.m. Stewardess board Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., Prayer and class services. Friday, 7:30 p.m., Choir rehears al. Rev. J. C. ANDERSON, Second Baptist Church. Sundey was indeed a glorious day at the old Second Baptist church and her seating capacity was taxed to the limit. Two things were responsible for this great turn out, which made the church look like old times. One of these contributing causes was the fact that for the first time this year old Sol, riding in his fiery chariot, condensed to grace the Lord's day with his beneficial effulgence, gladening and inspiring the hearts of all to an appreciation of the infinite goodness of God and an impelling desire to praise Him from whom all blessings flow. The other contributing cause was that Sunday before last Deacon Allen treated the church to what was afterwards considered a very agreeable surprise, in introducing at the evening service one whom he described in his very characteristic way as "A strange preacher of the gospel blown to the western shore from the interior of Colorado, in the person of Rev. A. Moore." The reverend gentleman took his text from Ezekiel, 37:3-4, announced his theme to be "Hear the word of the Lord," then closed the Old Book as only the warrior captain of the Old School are want to do, stepped back, rolled up his sleeves and plunged into his sermon. And so intelligent was his construction, so truly was his promise adhered to with humorous, though potent applications, so profound was his logic, so fervent was his exhortation and so wide was the sweeping of his scintilating sword, that when he had taken his seat every member of the congregation felt and afterwards gave expression of their joy and extreme pleasure at having been present. When Deacon Allen announced that the reverend had been pledged to preach again for us the following Sunday morning, every one apparently promised themselves to be present and to tell every one else they could get in 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. EDITORIAL But my, as my sun is sinking fast, I have to have an issue to catch the people. It's name is Preparedness. We fail to hear a whimper from the White House about the mobs in Dixie. The lives of nine Americans was last week's toll. Gathering momentum as it goes the Get Together Movement is destined to ultimately succeed. ASKING FAIR DEAL FROM It is well that we have such an organization as the All American League which will leave nothing undone to see that the truth comes to light in such cases, as this, and that at least an effort shall be made for justice and fair play. Theories exploited and set forth by faultless rhetoric, figures of speech and eloquence will not feed the hordes of hungry people and pay debts, therefore the main issue with the people just now is to get rid of this administration. THE COUNTY SERVICE The All American League is about to take up for the thorough investigation the case of James Lee, a civil service employee of the county who, according to documentary evidence in the hands of this paper was shamefully dealt with by the Superintendent of Machinery of this county who without any charges whatever, has euchered him out of a job that is clearly within the civil service. It is to be hoped that as the case is brought before the Board of Supervisors and the civil service board that justice will be meted out to Mr. Lee and those who are guilty of the flagrant injustice to him will be held to account. MAKE GOOD SHOWING FOR THE RACE Judge Griffith Jones of the Sunrise courts informs us that out of more than 700 cases of drunkenness which have come before him that there was only three Colored persons on that charge. We submit that this is commendable, indeed it shows that on the whole that we here in the Angel City are a sober people and that the efforts of our leaders along the line of the uplift of the Race are not in vain. Judge Jones, though a young man of English extraction, is a friend to the Race, and has on numerous occasions demonstrated the same by the keen interest he takes in their progress. He is making an enviable record as judge of this court, and it is an actual fact that since he has been on the bench in this court that drunkenness has decreased 50 per cent. He pays a high compliment to the Colored people for sobriety and their remarkable progress. NOTES ON RACIAL PROG RESS Compiled by the National Negro Business League A Thought for the Week.—Let us emphasize the fact, and keep on emphasizing it, that we must encourage trade and business development among ourselves; that we must cease more and more to be a wage-earning class; that we must buy and sell more among ourselves, so that we can have the profit that is to be made and thus make good openings for our sons and daughters to be tradesmen in their turn.—The Philadelphia Tribune. With the appointment of Mr. Charles Redmon, Tennessee, now has four colored policemen. Thomas Stokeley is Night Foreman in the Coonse and Caylor Ice Plant of Indianapolis, Indiana. Mr. Stokeley has achieved this promotion by reason of long years of faithful work. The National Fraternal Congress will meet in Cincinnati, February 7th and 8th. This Congress represents a movement to bring about co-operation among the leading fraternal organizations of the race. The newly organized Local Negro Business League in Waycross, eGorgia, has been instrumental in promoting the organization of the Laborers" Penny Savings and Loan Company of that city. Mr. Carlton W. Gaines is president of the League. "For My People" is a race play staged in the office of the St. Louis (Mo.) Argus, which is being presented by the Smith-Bright Players at the Booker T. Washington Theater in that city. The play is designed to show the importance of patronizing colored business enterprises. 1 Mr. Samuel Charles of Pensacola, Florida, has opened an up-to-date shoe store in his city. Mr. Charles is a member of the very active Local Negro Business League in Pensacola and on the day of his opening, the League sent a large bouquet of flowers for his show-window. The business men of Atlanta, Georgia, conducted a Christmas Tree for their employees in the Auditorium of the Odd Fellows Building. A feature of the entertainment was the awarding of three prizes for the best essays on the subject of building up business and conserving trade. The Local Negro Business League of San Antonio, Texas, which was re-organized some months ago with Mr. G. W. Bouldin, editor of the Inquirer, as Secretary, has developed great strength in membership and influence. They expect to have all their business enterprises working in strict co-operation within a few months. The South Carolina Race Conference will be held in Columbia from February 6th to 9th. Dr. John E. White who delivered an address in Boston at the last meeting of the National Negro Business League is scheduled to speak during this Conference. Rev. Richard Carroll, the noted Evangelist, is the organizer of the Conference. The Florida State Board of Health is sending a Health Train throughout the State of Florida to encourage better health conditions. The Afro-American Insurance Company of Jacksonville is co-operating with them by sending special letters to all of their agents requesting them to take the forward part in arousing the interest of the colored people in their communities to the importance of the Health Train. Sojourner Truth Club entertained its members and a few outside friends Friday evening. A delightful luncheon was served and short talks of interest were made, encouching plans for a bigger and better financial campaign. Some of the candidates and prospective ones, better get down in the black belt and look them over before they purchase them from the self-appointed leaders who say they can sell them. It is said that Councilman Toppam is disgusted with the Negroes as they stand, and is very desirous of appointing one of his choice and give him the backing for the Colored leader. It is about the time to organize a Colored Republican club on the East Side, one that stands for something, with men of whom there is no question of their integrity at its head; not one of those kind that is merely an instrument for some man to graft among the candidates for office. D. F. McGlauthlin starts in the race for supervisor with a big handicap unless he squares for the race he made for the council last year. It will be like the old time preacher who thundered out "What did Paul say?" Another brother over in the corner answered him by saying, "Paul said you wasn't going to get any more meat until you pay for that you did get." Yielding to the solicitation of his many friends, Councilman W. A. Roberts has finally consented to enter the race for supervisor in the 5th supervisorial district. Mr. Roberts is fully aware of the needs of his district and has announced in his platform that he will give special attention to the system of boulevards, the county farm, public charities and flood control. Many influential citizens of the fifth supervisorial district declare that Mr. Roberts must be elected, and that a thorough, energetic campaign will be immediately waged. ANNOUNCEMENT! Dr. W. H.

Mrs. Hubbard and the secretary, Mrs. Slayton, introduced a program and every number on the same was cordially and enthusiastically received. A. J. Jones acted in the place of the president, S. P.

Biggers a humorous address, Mrs. C. A. Spear-Bass gave a selection from Shakespeare and then the best of all was the refreshments which were served in true Kansas and Missouri style. All left declaring this to be one of the very best meetings and vowing to come always. THE ALLEN ALLENSWORTH CLUB At the Wednesday afternoon meeting of the Club plans were laid for a Valentine social to be given at the home of the president, Mrs. C. Hulbert. The social will be one of intense interest, as a highly literary program will be rendered by members of the club, and each member is requested to invite five guests. The Allensworth club under the leadership of President Mrs. C. Hulbert is doing excellent service for the Old Folks Home. The Allensworth club was delighted to have with them at their last meeting Mrs. Spear.Bass, a very (conscientious)? worker of the club. The Pioneer club will meet with Mrs. W. F.

INTEREST IN BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL FUND NATIONWIDE Letters Received at Tuskegee Indicate Interest of White and Colored Friends Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. — One of the most encouraging developments in the campaign for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund for the perpetuation of the work of Tuskegee Institute is to be found in the generous expressions of interest and approval that have come from all sources and sections. There is no lack of interest on the part of white people, or black people, north or south, east or west. Dr. Washington enjoyed the friendship and good-will of citizens throughout the country, and now that it is proposed that the institution which he founded shall be preserved as a National Memorial, these friends have come forward to pledge their continued interest and support of the work for which he gave his very life. When the news of his death was flashed over the wires, the chairman of the Institute Board of Trustees telegraphed: "The Trustees will not fail you in your hour of need." When this message was published in the newspapers, a Southern white man is quoted as having said: "Yes, and the Southern white people will do their part to see that Booker Washington's work goes on." Now, if there have been any questions as to what the Colored people intended doing towards the preservation of the work founded by Dr. Washington, it is only necessary to refer to the numberless letters from colored people sent to Tuskegee after his death, pledging their support and promising contributions toward a Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. The present campaign in the interest of the Fund will afford these good friends an opportunity to contribute toward the perpetuation of the work of Tuskegee Institute. The Trustees have decided that a part of the contribution from the Colored people shall go into a Permanent Memorial—that is, a building, statue or monument of some other charac Master George Gatliff will render Lincoln's Gettysburg address Sunday evening at the great celebration to be given by this paper at the Providence Institutional Baptist church. HON. E. J. SU LIVAN Edward J. Sullivan, who has been one of the appointees in the New Free Employment Bureau, is well known in this city, having resided here for the last eight years, and has taken an active part in every public movement having for its object the welfare of the people. He is an ardent friend and advocate of Labor, and had the endorsement of many prominent and distinguished citizens in this City and State. During his residence in New York City he was honored by Ex-President Roosevelt to a high place in the United States Diplomatic and Consular Service, and served the nation with honor and distinction in Turkey. He is a warm friend of the Armenian Christians. He has also enjoyed the friendship and confidence of Presidents Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt. He has made an exhaustive study of labor and economic conditions in Europe, Turkey, Russia, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America. He is a frequent contributor to newspapers and magazines. During the legislative session of 1915, Mr. Sullivan acted as secretary to the Committee of Labor and Capital of the Assembly and rendered that committee valuable service. At the close of the session the committee presented him with a set of resolutions warmly eulogizing his ability. Mr. Sullivan is a prominent member of the New York State Society in this city. He will prove a valuable aid to the newly organized Free Employment Bureau. Mr. Suullivan is an ardent friend of the Colored race and has always been found willing to assist them in every manner. SHOULD BE FULLY INVESTIGATED We Strnd For a Square Deal For All From, The Humblest To The Wost Exalted. The Eagle is in receipt of the following communication which should be fully investigated and the blame properly placed. Los Angeles, Cal.. reb 11, 1916. Editor California Eagle: The Citizens here have no protection of the Police Department. We ask the citizens of Los Angeles to look into this matter. My wife was brutally beaten by Los Angeles police wifhout any provocation whatever on reb. 7th about 9:30 p.m. at 8th and Wall streets by two colored police officers, Brodie and White, until she was unconscious for hours. After becoming unconscious some white lady came to her rescue and pleaded for mercy for the colored woman, but the officers had no mercy. She was unconscious from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning. She is still under the treatment of the doctor. I now appeal to the citizens of Los Angeles for investigation. Yours truly, CLIFFORD PALMER, 559 Ceres ave. ```markdown ``` 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. 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 Republicans 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 the 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 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. SPIRIT OF THE NEGRO PRESS Put the Mob Down A Negro was lynched January 18, 1916, at Buckville, Ark., for slapping a small white boy. After the mob had disposed of the Negro in its brutal and summary way, it burned down the Negro school-house. Why did the mob burn down the schoolhouse? Because, one may suppose, school education prepares one to resist insults, whether coming from white or colored, and causes one to denounce all forms of lawlessness. Such items as this one—lynching a Negro and burning down a Negro schoolhouse—are of such common occurrence that they barely get a paragraph in our daily papers. If a Negro is burned alive, he may get two paragraphs, but no bitter denunciation in editorial comment. Should such a horror be perpetrated on the battle-fronts of the bloodiest war of history, now raging in Europe, our great American press would go wild in denouncing the barbarity, but if a Negro is nailed in a pine box, saturated with coal oil and burned to a crisp in Mississippi, the news columns will tell the story simply, and the editorial page be as silent as death on this bit of Southern past time. The mob in the South has grown and fattened on Negro blood, and now it threatens the business and comfort of the white man. ```markdown ``` will observe the 106th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln on Sunday evening, February. 13th, 1916, at the Providence Institutional Baptist Church, corner of Crocker and Agatha streets.
