Millennium Dawn Company Offers Great Opportunities For The Masses
Volume 29
Millennium
THE MILLENIUM DAWN
COMPANY
Demonstrating the possibilities of the Negro in business. This company doing a remarkable business, patronize your own proposition. Buy from one to 100 shares and buy your groceries from your own store. The Eagle takes pride in presenting for the consideration of the public the splendid start of the above named company in the Booker T. Washington building, 1011 Central Ave. This company is really worth while. It has passed the experimental stage and is now a fullfledged mercantile company that will furnish you anything in the line of groceries, no matter how large or small your order.
The crowning feature about the entire situation is that the Millenium Dawn Company is the people's company, and you are simply patronizing your own proposition when you buy from this store. The shares are One Dollar each and every man and woman who can should at once buy from one to one hundred shares. If they will do this, this will soon become one of the greatest corporations in the city and this company can open stores in all sections of the city, thus employing hundreds of our own people in the mercantile pursuits.
The company now as it stands is showing what it can do and if they can on a small scale do what they are, when we all become stockholders and keep the dollars within the circle, the possibilities will be untold.
We urge all who can to buy at least one block of shares in this company.

WHY IS IT THAT COLORED STUDENTS DO NOT SECURE EMPLOYMENT IN THE INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS WHEN THEY LEAVE SCHOOL?
First, because the avenues of business are already overcrowded and there is always more applicants than places.
Second, those that are operating the business prefer their own people, and it is useless for us to expect of them to employ our people when they are unable to make places enough for their own, and the hope that is indulged in by some of our people that to educate and you will find employment according to your fitness is an empty assertion and falls flat to the ground when carried to the test. And the proof of this fact is gathered from those that have tried it. Now it is clear to everyone that the Colored applicant is handicapped when he enters the race, but is not in every case rejected on account of color. The fact is there is not places enough and to supply the want, new places must be created.
If we wait for those that are operating the present business to increase their capacity to let us in we will have to reckon with the applicants that are already waiting, and that would he hope against hope, which is said to be almost despair, but why should we wait for others to create all of

the business, when we can open up some of the avenues ourselves? And it would be a great relief to some of our friends on the other side to know that we were making an effort to stop banging on their doors for jobs, especially in the mercantile pursuits. And as it is a well known fact that no race of people ever rises any higher than their business level in the mercantile pursuit in any community, it is our duty to come together and make an effort to improve our condition here, along the industrial and mercantile lines by co-operation.
The key to the situation is organization and the churches and other societies of our people in this city have a membership that reaches into the thousands and their trade and patronage in the mercantile pursuits will create a volume of business during the year that would employ hundreds of our people and open up avenues that could never be dreamed of by individual effort. And this can be done by co-operation, without disturbing the present organizations. The trade and patronage of a hundred families will enable this company to employ 10 to 12 of our people at a living wage. And the stock of the company is within the reach of all. One dollar is all that is required on the first block of 10 shares and one dollar per week until the amount subscribed for is paid. A certificate will be issued which will entitle the holder to a share in the profits.
What we desire is to build up a business in this community that will be a credit to the Race, and with the assistance of the loyal Race men and women we will find our way to the business world, and upon up avenues in the mercantile pursuits for some of the children that are now at school. We had just as well build up ourselves with the money we spend as to build up others. It is a plain business proposition, and a matter of investment, and if you have a boy or girl at school purchase a block of stock in the company, get a certificate for him. It will inspire him to know that he has a future prospect for a business career With the company when he leaves school. Under the present condition there is no encouragement for them and as other Races work together in business effort we should do the same. While we are Americans and can never be anything else, in business we must work out our own destiny. The Millenium Dawn Industrial Corporation is a business company, incorporated under the laws of the State of California, and have secured a permit from the State Corporation Commissioner to sell stock.
What the company aims to do is to enter into mercantile pursuits, and create employment for the members and patrons by their trade and patronage.
The Terms to Subscribers
The stock is on sale at One Dollar per share, and is sold in blocks of ten dollars. Subscribers are required to pay 10 per cent cash and 10 per cent or one dollar weekly thereafter. When the amount subscribed for is paid a certificate will be issued which will entitle the holder to a pro-
rata share of the net profits when the Board of Directors declares a dividend.
What the Company is Doing Now
Operating a grocery at 1011 Central avenue, with telephone connection, Broadway 2576, with auto delivery and can fill orders in any part of the city, and every stockholder and subscriber is part owner in the present business, and they are to support the business by their trade and patronage.
Business Not Confined to One
Locality
The business may be extended to any part of the city, and new enterprises' open up, wherever there is a sufficient number of subscribers and patrons to support the business, and every additional business means more help, such as clerks, bookkeepers and deliverymen and they are to be selected from among the subscribers and stockholders.
Why We Should Co-operate
Why We Should Co-operate The growing need for business opportunities among our people is a fact that cannot be denied, and the keen competition that must be met in the industrial pursuits makes individual efforts along these lines almost a thing of the past, but by co-operation and a small amount invested from each individual the fields of activity can be reached and the trade and patronage of the members will create the volume of business that will give employment and open the fay to thei industrial pursuits.
Where to Purchase Stock
Where to Purchase Stock At the store, 1011 Central Ave., or The California Eagle Publishing Office, 814 Central Ave., or call any of the Directors. Notice their address and phone in this article. A copy of the constitution and by-laws of the company will be furnished each subscriber.
The Board of Directors
In presenting this Company to our people as a business proposition, we are guided by the present condition and the future outlook and we are convinced that the only way to succeed now in business enterprise is by co-operation and we invite every loyal Race man and women to join us in the effort. The patronage of a hundred families would create a volume of business that would enable us to employ 10 or 12 of our people at a living wage, and make a safe margin for the stockholders.
The Company has bought out the grocery of P. W. Ridgway, formerly located at 1210 Tunness street, and is now located at 1011 Central Ave., and we propose to carry a line of groceries that will meet the demands of the trade and with our delivery and telephone the patrons and shareholders can reach us from any part of the city. And we solicit your order.

EAST EIGHTH CHRISTIAN CHURCH TO CHANGE LOCATION
TheEast Eighth St. Christian church that has been located on E. Eighth St., near Central Ave., is to be removed to 14th and Birch St. by May 9th.
Rev. D. L. McMickens and the congregation invite their many friends to come and visit them in their new church home after the above mentioned date.
It is the plan of the pastor and congregation to erect a more stately mansion for the housing of their growing congregation. The lot at 14th and Birch furnishes not only a better site, but more space for the edifice, the prospectus of which will be published later.
Much credit is due Mr. Milton Lewis, the active real estate man who secured the site for the church.
And now that the date for removal is set and the plans for remodeling almost complete enthusiasm is running wild in the congregation—plans for a rousing financial rally are on foot and it is hoped that there will not be a drone in the flock.
The pastor, Rev. Mc Mickens, is a splendid young man, and an excellent Christian gentleman whose experience and educational qualification well fit him to lead the church in its efforts at this time and it is hoped by the general public that their efforts at this time will be a howling success.
ALUMNI ORATORICAL
CONTEST
1915-16 Students and Graduates to Compete
"How our conduct at home and abroad affects ourselves and our race" will be discussed at an oratorical contest, May 9th, at Wesley Chapel M. E. church, under the auspices of the Southern California Alumni Association. The receipts of the affair will go into the association's scholarship aid fund, for the annual scholarship prize of fifty ($50) dollars, to be awarded in June, to the California student graduating with the highest average scholarship rating.
Students and Graduates Invited All students of the various schools, and all 1915 and 1916 graduates, are invited to enter the contest at once, by giving their written notice to either of the undersigned committeemen. No person may enter the contest after the next meeting of the association, April 9, as the program will be made up then—one month before the date of the contest, May 9th.
The Contest
Fifteen minutes will be allowed for each speaker to render, without reading (notes will be permitted), his original oration on the subject mentioned above. Three judges, from outside of the association, will be elected by the association. Committee:
Socialists' Leader Says Birth of a Nation Evades Southern Men's Deeds THOMAS DIXON HIT HARD Stalwart Terre Haute Man Shows Conclusively That Movies Does Not Square With Historical Facts.
(New York Age)
Recent elections in Terre Haute have been as bad as those pictured in "The Birth of a Nation," which movie shows colored militia driving whites away from the polls in the South, according to a
scathing criticism of the movie by Eugene V. Debs, noted Terre Haute Socialist. Debs' criticism follows:
"The Birth of a Nation"
Editor Post: The merits of this spectacular drama excite bitter comments 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 prejudices which grew out of the war he could not have better, succeeded, and it would be passing strange if the 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 represent those harrowing rape scenes, then why not round them out in their historic completeness and show the dissolute son of the plantation owners ravishing the black daughter before her parents' eyes?
For every white woman raped in the South by a black fiend 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 colored man by Thomas Dixon, the author, who also calls himself a minister of Christ:
Four Million Mulattoes
There are four million mulattoes in this country, most of whom were born out of wedlock and all of whom have a white father or grandfather, and these white gentlemen are ready to fight at the drop of the hat for "white supremacy" and 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 a savage hate by the slave owners of the South, and it was this ferocious hate that culminated in his assassination, and the reverence now shown hi mon the stage is a convenient mask behind which the same blind hate may vent itself upon the unoffending colored man.
Shameless Exploitation
Let it not be overlooked that all histories have been written by white men and that colored men 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 colored people 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 Crom' car put into commission to attest their standing as live stock, the whole history of the treatment of the colored 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 Dickson's novel and flashed upon the screen to conceal the white man's crimes behind the colored man's misfortune.
Klan Glorified
The Ku-Klu-Klan are glorified in these pictures as spotless knights, the personification of chivalry and honor, and the audience applauds madly as they dash to the rescue of some imaginary white victim of a black fiend, but care is taken not to portray any of the outrages perpetrated upon defenseless, unoffending colored people by these same lawless night-riders.
The pictures showing the scenes about the polling places on election day under colored
THE PEOPLES FORUM

portunities
domination are especially calculated to subject the colored people to ridicule and contempt, and the white audience never fails to attest its appreciation by its sneers and cheers.
Life in Terre Haute
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 years—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 colored people in that section what an eminently respectable thing an election is when dominated by white men and by what pure and incorruptible methods the will of the people is expressed in a civilized white community?
Whites Also to Blame
If the white race has demonstrated its "superiority" in any one thing it is in its politics and elections, and if colored people should bes disfranchised, the evident purpose of Dixon's pictures, because of their disgraceful conduct at the polls, then by the same token white men should be also stripped of their ballot and driven from the polling places. The chief commercial statistics exhibited at the close of the play to show the progress made by the colored race is but a weak attempt to excuse the wanton insults heaped upon that race. Intelligent colored men 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.
Must Depend on Selves
Let the Colored people learn how to depend upon themsselves, how to do for themselves, and to win their own way in the world. When they cut loose from the grafting politicians that use them as pawns in the political game and reward one of their number with a spittoon-cleaning job in recognition of their race, and stand together; when they begin in earnest to educate themselves, to develop their minds and do their own thinking they will command the respect of the white race and of the world, but not before. EUGENE V. DEBS. Terre Haute, Ind., Jan. 6, 1916. New York Age.
INDEPENDENT LEAGUE AT WATTS HOLD ROUSING MEETING
On last Monday evening the League held an overflowing meeting at their hall.
Many questions of interest were taken up and acted upon, they gave their unanimous endorsement to the candidacy of Jacob Hohn for trustee at the coming election, and will look to a man for his election. The league is assured of a strong support from other sources and with the present line up there is every assurance for success.
Endorse John S. Lang
The League also endorsed John S. Lang, present trustee, and in this they desire to go on record as to also endorsing him as a candidate for supervisor of the Fourth Supervisorial district.
This action was unanimous. The League looks on Mr. Lang as a man who stands absolutely for a square deal for everybody. His every public act has been for the advancement of all the citizens and for that reason they are for John Lang for anything to which he may aspire.

Mr. Editor: Please permit me to say through your paper that we should honor our great men and revere their names after death. Has the time come that we should not? Have we gone so high up in the social world that we so lightly regard those who give their lives for our advancement, that we should drag their names in the lowest pit? It should be painful to the heart of every negro in the United States to see the name of him who gave his life to teach us how to respect each other and protect each other's good name brought down to the dust. In the San Diego Evening Tribune on Wednesday, the 10th, was an article commenting on a party of colored men on the streets with music advertising a Booker T. Washington ball. Is it possible that the young negroes have so little respect for the Christian religion and the principle this good man represented that they should dare to connect his name with a ball, and to cap it all the whole party landed in jail for disturbing the peace? Is that the way we honor our great men? Does that bring honor to the Race? Does it put any value upon the work this great man spent his life in trying to do? Every negro in these United States should see to it that that the name of this great hero of the Race should be lifted up and not cast down. Booker T. Washington's name was inscribed upon the greatest Book of all ages, the Book of Life, who's keeper is Christ.
Mrs. Smith of 744 3rd street is expected to return to San Diego this week.

The Ol ander club, which was organized about a month ago, met Friday afternoon at Miss Annie Mulholland's, the president of the club. Miss Mulholland will entertain again Friday afternoon, at which meeting the by-laws and constitution will be read. Mrs. C. E. Norwood, the chaperon of the club, has a cordial invitation to be present as a guest, as she intends leaving San Diego for Los Angeles, on a two or three week's stay. The girls are sorry to have her go, but Mrs. Norwood thinks she needs a rest. But can she rest in Los Angeles?

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE
M. T. LAWS, Business Manager
God bless the cheerful person, man, woman or child, old or young illiterate or educated, handsome or homely. Over and above every other social trait stands cheerfulness. What the sun is to nature, what the stars are to night, what God is to the stricken heart which knows how to lean upon Him, are cheerful persons in the house and by the wayside. Man recognizes the magic of a cheerful influence in woman more quickly and more willingly than the potency of dazzling genius of commanding worth, or even of enslaving beauty.
If we are cheerful and contented all nature smiles with us; the air seems more balmy, the sky more clear, the ground has a brighter green, the trees a richer foliage, the flowers a more fragrant smell, the birds singing more sweetly and the sun, moon and stars all appear more beautiful.
Cheerfulness! How sweet in infancy, how lovely in youth, how saintly in age. There are a few noble natures whose presence carries sunshine with them wherever they go; a sunshine which means pity for the poor, sympathy for the suffering, help for the unfortunate, and benignity toward all. How such a face enlivens every other face it meets and carries into every company vivacity and joy and gladness. But the the scowl and frown begotten in a selfish heart and manifesting itself in daily, almost hourly fretfulness, complaining, fault finding, angry criticisms, spiteful comments on the motives and actions of others, how they thin the cheek, shrivel the face, sour and sadden the countenance. No joy in the heart, no nobility in the soul no generosity in the nature; the whole character as cold as an iceberg, as hard as Alpine rock, as arid as the waste of Sahara.
Look on the bright side. keep the sunshine of a living faith in the heart. Do not let the shadow of discouragement and despondency fall on your path, however weary you may be, the promises of God will never cease to shine like the stars at night, to cheer and strengthen. Learn to wait as well as labor, the best harvests are the longest in ripening. It is not pleasant to work in the earth plucking the ugly tares and weeds, but it is necessary as sowing the seed, the harder the task the more need of singing. A hopeful spirit will discern the silver lining of the darkest cloud, for back of all planning and doing with its attendant discouragements and hinderance shines the light of Divine promise and help.
Be cheerful for it is the only happy life, the times may be hard, but it will make them no earlier to wear a gloomy and sad countenance, it is the sunshine and not the cloud that makys the flower. There is always that before or around us which should fill the heart with warmth, Tha sky is blue ten times where it is black once. You have troubles, it may be, so have other, none are free from them; perhaps it is as well that none should be; they give sinew and tone to life, fortitude and courage to man. It would be a dull sea and the sailor would never get skilled, if there was nothing to disturb the surface of the ocean. It is the duty of every one to extract all the happiness and enjoyment he can without and within him, and above all he should look on the bright side of things, even though they look a little dark the lane will turn and the night will end in broad day. In the long run the great balance rights itself; what is ill becomes well, what is wrong becomes right. Men are not made to hang down either heads or lips and those who do only show that that they are departing from the paths of true common sense and right, there is more virtue in one beam than a
Cheerfulness
DEPA business Manager whole hemisphere of cloud and gloom. Therefore, we repeat, look on the bright side of things, cultivate what is warm and genial, not the cold and repulsive, the dark and morose. Don't neglect your duty, live down predjudice.
We always know the cheerful man by his hearty "good morning" don't forget to say it; say it to your parents' your brothers and sisters, your schoolmates, your teachers, and say it cheerfully and with a smile, it will do you good and do your friends good. There's a kind of inspiration in every "good morning" heartily and smilinely spoken that helps to make hope fresher and work lighter. It seems really to make the morning good and a prophecy of a good day to come. If this be true of the "good morning" it is a 'so of all kind, cheerful greetings; they cheer the discourage', rest the tired one, and somehow make the wheels of time run more smoothly. Be liberal, then and let no morning pass, however dark and gloomy it may be, that you do not help at least to brighten it by your smiles and cheer.
The cheerful are the busy; when trouble knocks at your door or rings the bell he will generally retire if you send him word engaged and a busy life cannot well be other wise than cheerful. Frogs do not croak in running water and active minds are seldom troubled with gloomy forebodings, they come only from stagnant depths of a spirit unstirred by generous impulses or the blessed necessities of honest toil. The industrious bee stops not to complain that there are so many poisonous and thorny branches in his road but buzzes on, selecting the honey where he can find it and passing quietly by the places where it is not. There is enough in this world to complain
Common Sense Thrift
We believe that a man with money in the Bank is a better citizen than helotherwise would be.
The only way to get ahead in money matters is to save systematically a portion of your income and deposit it regularly in a strong, conservative bank, such as this, where it will earn a good rate of interest.

ATTORNEY E. BURTON CERUTI SCORES GREAT
VICTORY IN MILLER MURDER TRIAL
AT SANTA BARBARA
Special to The California Eagle
In the Miller murder trial, which is now on in this city, every inch of the ground is being stubbornly contested by both sides. So far in the preliminaries the defense by Chief Counsel E. Burton' Ceruti, assisted by Judge Gammil of this city, have out-maneuvered and out-generalled the prosecution and on Thursday on motion of the defense, six jurors, after having been sworn in were discharged and the peremptory challenges restored to the defense. This point was bitterly contested by District Attorney Squires, who argued at length against it, but to no avail. Attorney Ceruti is demonstrating his worth as a criminal lawyer and is the cynosure of all eyes as he is making a strenuous battle for the life of his client.
This is the 10th day since the trial has started and no one at this time will hazard a guess as to its finish. Venire after venire has been called and exhausted. There are many jurors who deliberately disqualify themselves from service. There are also those who have probably seen the Clansman and say right out that on account of Race prejudice they could not give the defendant a fair trial. It seems as though some of them are steeped much farther in the depths of ignorance and superstition than the Black Race, and as a result thereof have an innate prejudice and cannot assert a reason therefor. This condition makes the task of securing a jury a hard one. In the meantime many witnesses are chasing under their enforced absence from their homes and their business, but there is no help for it, they have no alternative but to stick until discharged by the court when the state and defense have closed their presentation of evidence.
Jury Has Been Obtained
On Wednesday night at 10 o'clock, just 24 days since the trial of Tom Miller started, was the last juror selected to sit on his trial. The evidence is now being heard and it is predicted that by Monday or Tuesday of next week the trial will be finished.
The battle will rage over the insanity issue, which will be the defense offered, hence the state's testimony in chief is only perfunctory, but they will make their great effort in rebuttal. To one on the ground it looks like the defense has a stronger case than at the first trial, notwithstanding the record of a conviction for first degree murder in its favor, the state will have to go some to procure the same verdict this time.
And any sort of verdict they render outside of first degree murder without recommendation will be a notable victory for the defense.
HITTING THEIR STRIDE
DOING THINGS WORTH WHILE
Take a look at Central Avenue this week between 8th and 12th streets, and if you have ever doubted the part the Negro is playing in this march of progress that doubt will disappear even at the snow fades under the rays of the noonday sun. This great galaxy of business concerns of which you have read—and now the great big new home of the Angelus theater is being erected, thirty to forty mechanics and laborers on the job. Agcolored contractor, colored brick layers, carpenters, plasterers, etc. The money to build the same is the product of that pioneer business man of the West and his energetic partner, viz., J. W. Gordon and F. A. Williams. These gentlemen, for their thrift, for their confidence in loyalty of their Race, and for the reason they are doing something which is a distinct benefit to their Race, should by all means have their unanimous backing in their efforts in this city. They are furnishing the avenue from which we as a Race must be able to traverse before we can come up in the mercantile pursuits.
Go out Central Avenue way. Go and see for yourself that this people in this, the metropolis of the Pacific Coast, are coming, Father Abraham, 30,000 strong, and then you will feel as we feel, that we are hitting our sride and are doing the things worth while.
IN ERROR—APOLOGY FOR SAME
Rushing to press last week and our Santa Barbara correspondence reaching us late, too late to read even the proof, an article slipped both the managing editor and editor of this paper. Said article cast reflection upon the credit of Mr. R. H. Hite. We desire to apologize to Mr. Hite, without even being asked to do so, for the appearance of said article. While the same appeared under head of Santa Barbara notes and was not written by us, we are responsible for all matter in these columns and we still maintain the principle of all men up and no man down, and when we err, we do not feel too big to own up the same. More especially when the same is not within the law. J. B. BASS, Editor. They thunder, out prosperity is here, but everybody seems to be from Missouri and they must really be shown.
THE CALIFORNIA LAGLE
We regret that Judge Griffin Jones has abdicated the bench of the Sunrise court, for since he has been thereon he has accomplished marvelous things for the cause of good citizenship in this community. He has reduced drunkenness in this city 50 per cent, has made many homes happy in doing so, and has gained for this city through his doing something worth while, a great publicity, so much so that many cities are adopting the rules made by Judge Jones in handling the situation here. But Judge Jones should worry, men of his worth will always be in demand and he will no doubt be called upon in a more pretentious manner to serve this people.
EDITORIAL SHORT STOPS
In a recent issue of The California Eagle it was stated that we as a Race were politically, after the Presidential Primaries, "Just where we started," and we added there was no occasion for rejoicing because the "regulars" won out. The truth of what we said has been strengthened by the contempt of the importance of that portion of the Negro vote that was loyal to them, as shown in the first meeting of the "regular delegates" in San Francisco, when they chose the 26 alternate delegates to the convention and did not select a single Negro. It is just such treatment that has cooled the ardor of many who fail to see the significance in calling a mere "political machine" a "party." "Machines," though do not usually reward their hirelings, as they have again and again boasted it is more convenient to pay before the election than to be under obligation after the election. If this is their claim now, or course, we haven't anything to say.
The "lilywhite republicans" have been busy in the South, and by the way, in some of the Western states. The National Republican Executive Committee will be in session a week before the meeting of the Convention, and will pass upon the prima facie rights of contested delegates to seats in the Convention. Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Oklahoma, Mississippi, District of Columbia and several other Southern states will have contesting delegations. In every instance it is the old fight of the "lilywhite" who contends that the Negro shall have no voice in National delegate convention, and the so-called "black-and-tan," who believe that no man entitled to a seat in the convention should be debarred because of Race or Color.
Let us be united in all of our Race endeavors. It is very plain that conditions are becoming more trying, and our lack of Race unity encourage those who would put obstacles in the way of our advancement.
Now that Pan-America, the governments of Central and South America, have issued the fiat: United States must not intervene in the affairs of Mexico, the Wilson administration has a hard nut to crack.
Edison, the great wizard of the electrical world, says that Theodore Roosevelt is worth more as a candidate for President, than all of the other mentioned candidates combined.
What has become of those Texas cowboys that went into Mexico to be avenged on the Mexican raiders. Like Villa they appear to have been lost in the "shuffle."
The Negro vote is the balancing power in six pivotal states. And his wants are too urgent to be passed up.
The National Republican platform should condemn the Wilson's treatment of the Negro.

Sunday schooi lesson, always listened
intently while the superintendent lec-
tured and who was the first tat‘‘come
thru” at the ‘“‘moaners bench” and
who, when patted on the head and ask-
ed tha question, ‘‘what are you going
to be when you grow up my boy"’spoke
up quickly and said “I am going to be
a minister of the gospel sir and) carry
the message to the heathen.'? The
reason I say that Johnny should be such
a ‘“‘model”” boy and then after reaching
manhood prove to be the biggest rascal
and bandit chief and associate with the
toughest bunch since the days of Jesse
James, is simply this; Johnny had‘“come
into his owni,”” the shackels of discipline
and restraint had fallen away and John
ny was free, This is all that is aceom-
plished by keeping the good apples
from the bad ones, merely holping tight
the reins of restramt, until with the
coming of manhood the reins are jerked
away ard the wild horse is free.
A girl or boy, but I am speaking par-
ticularly of girls since 1° know more
about the problems that confront them
a girl of a strong noble character never
worries when she comes in contact
with all sorts and conditions of folk, we
have to rub elbows with the common-
est, and in many, many cases we come
in very close contact with them.
There are some individuals wh
would rejoice greatly if they could
have just their particilar friends
around them and never be throwr
amongst the scum of the earth as they
choose to call the uiifortunates, ro hol
their own little eoterie of friends anc
regard themselves as ‘‘Lacre’me de
Societe.” Personally I think they ‘are
nothing more than moral eowards, com:
posed of the same stuff as’ jellyfist
and possessing as much brain power as
a gnat, as far as being able to gras;
the highest and noblest in lite is con
cerned. They are neglecting the mos!
important duty of mankind, that 0}
0 strengthening the wall of .characte!
teat it will'be impregnable to all th
buffets that may assail it, for tédes
troy:character is.as easy as eapturins
‘a fortress by attacking it with cottor
balls and just about as effective. /
person’ posdessed of @ strong, Clear
clean mind ¢an look far above the sor¢
id, . petty,. things - of’ life,| an
eternally for the good and nok th
[bad in his fello ene sand is
if ever, disappointed.’ And all off us
despite our environments, will soar to
the brightness of Glory or sink to the
pit of Chaos, simply by hearkening to
the whisperings of of the God or the
Demon that is whinin us.
Most girls are independent, self re-
liant and worthy of # great deal of
trust, at least the modern twentieth
sentury girl is, Some mothers, bless
their dear souls, worry themselves gray
over their ‘only daughter” or perfurm
the “anxious watching” act. Some
Jecture, pray, leeture and pray some
more, really how foolish and useless
are their tears ane lectures, if Mary or
Jane or Mojly insist upon going their
own way and turning a deaf ear, as
‘nine out of every ten do. It is all use-
es I say. Just let Mary, Jane or
Molly realize that it is ‘‘up to her” to
do right thing and ‘“‘up to her’” entire-
ly. Have her to know that the desire
to be a noble true woman and to ac-
quire the most valuable asset—charac-
ter, rests solely with her. ‘Thus will
end the useless and tiresome ‘‘anxious
watching” performance on the part of
|so many mothers. I do not ask or ex
‘pect you to assign this tirade to you
selections entitled “‘memoirs”’ or paste
it-in the books on “hints to girls’’ o1
the book on “how a young girl shoul
behave.’’ Indeed I am perfectly willing
that you should start the morning's fire
or feed the cat his breakfast on it,
should you feel 80 disposed. But I dc
desire that you berr in mind the fact,
that to rightly enjoy life ‘and get the
most out of it, is to cherish those
things that are finest and noblest, an¢
which will abide forever in ,the heart
of us all. ‘

On January the 17th after an exceptional down pour the night before, a number of trains were delayed on the Tucson, Los Angeles and Coast divisions. They were held at points ch wi w to the convenience and comfort of passengers. The latter wherever held were unanimous in making the best of the situation. Employees at Yuma and the City itself "fairly out did" themselves in hospitality. On January the 19th the delayed passengers were given excursion thro alley. The principal points at which trouble had been encountered in the south were at the throat of the Los Angeles Yard at White water on the El Paso route and at Moorpark on the Coast Line. On January 20th the first clear day since the storm broke, the line from Los Angeles to Yumn was opened to traffic. That night all regular main line passenger trains left Los Angeles on time via normal routes. On that morning the Southern Pacific was the only Transcontinental line entering Los Angles using its own rails, and in addition to this, we handled on Friday twenty detoured trains of other lines.
Passengers on Golden State Limited, No. 3 who were delayed at Indio, Cal, on Monday, January 17th owing to high water troubles, have expressed their appreciation of their treatment in the following resolutions addressed to the official of the Southern Pacific Company, the Rock Island Lines, the Pullman Company and the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad.
"Whereas, owing to unavoidable delay we remained at Indio until Thursday afternoon, the twentieth and in the meantime the flood waters from Monday night until Thursday would have prevented any of us from leaving the cars, and

In recognition of this service it is hereby
"Resolved, that the courtesy efficiency and attention accorded us by the employees named is worthy of the highest praise. We are especially indebted to the Pullman conductor, Mr. J. M.

accustomed to going after a man with an ax instead of a sofa pillow so it is that when we find politeness in departments of public service the community is to be congratulated, and the servant comended. In spite these grouch-provoking conditions the public will often find a porter who is polite, besides being faithluf and competent; such a one is a pleasure to the traveler and should be a satisfaction to the employing corporation. The porter who is alert competent, genial and who understands every little problem of his route, is a treasure. Fortunately there are several. I have one is mind now. It is almost a pleasure to journey in his companionship. He is especially attentive to little children and equally attentive to the ladies, old or young, and is prompt with any little assistance that may be acceptable. He is neither officious or obsequious. His attentions are only such as are welcome and proper, and with them goes sometimes a cheesy word and always a cheery smile. For his politeness and courtesy, he should sometimes be excused in making mistakes. Apparently he plays an errorless game, in his humble way. He illustrates the virtue of courtesy, the gospel of consideration and the religion of politeness.

Brigham Scores Segregation in Mass in Bosfield Cage
Apealls to white citizens to enlist against color line in civil service of our State.
The Boston Herald published yesterday the following letter by Mr. William D. Brigham, of the Equal Rights League and Wendell Phillips Memorial Association: SEGREGATION IN MASSACHUSETTS. To the Editor of The Herald:
```markdown
```
THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE I write to awaken public interest in a case of segregation, not in Washington, nor Georgia but in the good old commonwealth of Masstchusetts. These are the admitted facts:
A colored young lady, a graduate of our high and Latin schools, who had studied stenography, passec successfulyl the civil service examination, and in response to an invitation from the State, applied for a position as a stenographer and was assigned to the Medfield Insane Asylum. The head of the institution Dr. Edward French, refused to accept her. She then told Gov. Walish, a Democratic Governor who wrote letter to the insan board. Dr. French then compelled her to sleep in a room over the morgue, obliged her to eat her meals, not in the dining room with the other employees, but sent her food her to on a tray. Upon her attempt to enter the dining room he dismissed her for insuborcinatio. In making requisition for another stenographer he stipulated that she be "unmarried and white". The civil service commissioners notified that he could not legally discriminate as to color-
SHAMEFUL INJUSTICE: On these fact I wish to make these comments: It is a shameful injustice when a young lady, educated and refined of character unblemished, is denied because of the tint of her skin an opportunity to earn a living. How can the 10,000,000 of native Colored American citizens ever rise in this country if every door of opportunity is closed against them? It is ungenerous and lacking in chivalry for the head of a great state institution to oblige a young lady of 20, away from home and friends in a lonely country town, to sleep in a building where corpses are kept, and to be excluded from the dining room. To insist that the 405 other employees would be contaminated by one colored girl is pregosterous.
Girl's father pays on salary of French: The head of this institutoon, Dr. French, is a fell w employe of the state.The young lady's father is a taxpayer and the people of Massachusetts pay the salaries, both of the superintendent and the stenographer.
Drew the Color Line Before: This same superintendent had a like experience with a young colored girl about a year ago under the same circumstances: This young lady was sent out to him at Medfield and he said on seeing her "You have deceived me; you should have told me you were colored." And she replied "You didn't ask me." He declined to employ her.
I think I appreciate the despair and even anguish many young colored people feel who are educated, ambitious and refined, when they find every door or opportunity slammed in their faces. It isn't much use to talk of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man when such meanness is practiced by a great and powerful state.
The friends of Miss Bosfield have sought an audience with the Governor to take up with him the far larger question of just treatment by the State of all its employees and such change in the laws as may prevent any repetition of such things, Race, color, and religion have no place in public institutions
