The Eagle Stands For Fair Play PHONE MAIN 1594 Volume 29 The ```markdown ``` WHY WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE ALL-AMERICAN LEAGUE Editor, The California Eagle. Dear Sir: Please allow us space in your valuable journal to correct some mistaken ideas that are afloat concerning the All-American League of which we are members. It seems to be the object of the L. A. Post to convince the reading public that the Ledgue is political in spirit, and was organized for the spenific purposes of selling itself soul and body into the hands of office seekers. Now Mr. Editor, and reader, before you pass judgment upon us as an organization, visit the League at one of its regular meetings and be convinced as to its object. Don't take it from one who is narrow in his ideas and conceptions because of his own petty prejudices. As members and officers of the League, we know and feel deeply its object, and the spirit out of which it grew. The All-American League is a foundation of love and believes in "All men up and no man down" and already with a large membership in Los Angeles and other parts of the State with this spirit is making itself felt. As far as our leaders, Attorney H. E. MacBeth and W. E. Easton and the other officers are concerned, we feel that we have made the best possible selections, and are perfectly willing to intrust the destiny of our organization to this body of men and women whom we believe will do everything in their power for its development and advancement of the League along the lines for which it was formed. For fifty-three years we have been crying "let's get together", and every time an effort is made to get together some would-be leader vegins his crab like operations of pulling apart. This time it was from a source from which we would naturally expect a far different sentiment. Now Mr. Editor of the California Eagle, if you hope to continue to enjoy the good will of the better class of citizens in the future as you have in the past, don't be eager to pass judgment before proper investigation. You are at liberty to visit the League and find out for yourself what we are doing. It has been and shall continue to be our object to support our two leading race journals and we solicit your cooperation in our effort to uplift and uphold you in the work. MRS GEO. GAMBLE MRS. C. A. WALKER MRS. A. E. WEBER MISS R. R. JAMES MRS. C. HULBERT. SIDNEY P. DONES Who's Office is a Branch of The Torrens Title Co. Has Been Established We remember the Torrens Hill that was voted on a year ago, whereby the State of California would guarantee the title of race property. Now that this bill was carried, we are glad to see our young race men make one of the The California Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., Mar. 25, 1916 representatives. When you buy or mortgage your property and you want to know the condition of the title, you should let the State guarantee your title, it costs less and is the best and safest title that can be had. Under the Torrens system, the decree based on the indgment of the Superior Court is permanent and lasts for ever. The insurance fund carried by the State itself guarantees the reliability of every title registered under the Torrens system. When you buy property get an abstract of the condition of the titles abstract. Cost you only $5.00 and can be had in three days. It shows the exact condition of title to your property. Make your application to Branch office of the Torrens Title, Land and Mortgage Co., suite 4, Booker T. Washington Bldg., 101312 Central Ave. Bdwy, 1408. NOTICE TO THE RACE I am confidential agent of the owner of $75,000.00 who will make loans in amounts of $100.00 up to $5000.00, at a low rate of interest. If you have a mortgage that is due or sooor will be, call at once and see me. All matters strictly confidential and private. Sidney P. Dones, Suite 4, Booker T. Washington Bldg., 1013 Central avenue, Bdwy. 1498. PATRONS ATTENTION! Dear patrons: You will please take notice and govern yourselves accordingly. We are asking all who are in our debt, to as soon as possible, straighten up your accounts. We can't address you individually and so we are using this method; however, with the kindest possible feeling towards you. We have tried to be patient and give you every advantage in the way of newspaper publicity and printing matters, but some of our best friends have taken advantage of our kindness and are not doing their best in the matter of paying up. When we print for concerts and other entertainments on time, we ask that you respect this courtesy by paying when the affair is over, for when you fail to do so, you place us in an embarrassing position. We have to pay cash for every bit of paper or cardboard used by us. We can't even ask for credit, and furthermore, the material used for printed matters is more expensive than the food you eat. Now, dear patrons, please take the hint we are speaking in all kindness of heart and goodly feelings toward our patrons and subscribers. And we feel that if you deem our effort along the journalistic and printing office line worth while, you will heed our call, for such a call could only be prompted by a need. JOHN MC LEMORE DROWNED After occupying his past as usher at the First A. M. E. church where he was a member. John McLemore in company with a number of his friends went to the beach at Santa Monica to take a swim last Sunday afternoon. In company with several of his young friends was enjoying the swim when he was caught in an undertow and drowned. The funeral service was held at the First A. M. E. church last Thursday afternoon, and a hoast of sorrowing friends were out to pay their last tribute to the memory of one who was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. Resolutions from the Christian Endeavor, Ushers Board, the Sunday School and the Alumni Association were read and Pastor Craw spoke beautifully over the remains using for his text, "Remember now Thy Creator in the Days of Thy Youth". Mr. McLemore was a senior of the law department of the University of Southern California and bore a splendid reputation all the way both in private and public life. Maynard Gunsul, manager of the State Investment Company, for whom he works, spoke of the deceased in these terms: "He never loafed or waisted time; he was as near to being a 'model young man' as anyone I ever saw, [Image of a portrait of a man with dark hair and a white shirt, facing slightly to the right.] M.

Mr. Ceruti has gained an enviable reputation as a criminal lawyer and especially so in murder trials. He is undertaking a hard task in the Miller case and the outcome will be watched with great interest. Mr. Ceruti stands in the front ranks as one of our most progressive citizens and has always been a staunch friend and supporter of all the things that stand for real progress. and the people at the bank thought everything of him, by all who knew him." We can not doubt but that in the flowery walks of spirit life, that John is the same good boy that we knew so well here. To enable our feet in the next days march, To climb up that golden ridge, We must all lie down for one nights rest Inside the covered tomb. SOJOURNER TRUTH Sunday, March 26, the ladies of Sojourner Truth will close their grand rally that has been in progress for the past week. An Excellent program has been arranged for the occasion. Rev.

GOLDEN RULE LODGE G Tuesday evening was a big night with Golden Rule Lodge when they initiated a large class of candidates, which consisted of some of our foremost citizens, among those who were made members of this great order was Prof. C. A. Biggers, Jos. J. Anderson, Geo. R. Caibway and Harry J. Adams, formerly of Kentucky. Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Duvall were prominent among the callers at our sanctum this week, the good Dr. and his very estimable companion are still doing great work for humanity in maintaining the National Industrial Home in Pasadena. Last Monday the Doctor addressed the Baptist Ministers' Alliance and the word was peace. As a result thereof, on next Monday a great get-together meeting will take place. L. L. McMahan of San Diego, one of the leading colored pharmacists of the country, and who has resided at San Diego for the past few years, is now in our city and at the Prentice Drug store, 3rd and Stephenson. We have known the Doctor for many years, in fact from boyhood, and can commend him to the highest consideration as a man in every way worthy of confidence. Mr. Prentice is to be congratulated on having such a man as Mr. McMahan in his employ.

Bass of the California Eagle read a splendid paper on Higher Citizenship which invoked the greatest enthusiasm, the reading by little Katherine Bass was also a feature. THE PEOPLES FORUM Number 7 Play EL CENTRO To the Editor of the California Eagle. Los Angeles, California. Dear Sir:— Please allow space for me to give the happenings of our church. Now, the visit of the moderator of the Western Baptist Association of Southern California in the person of Rev. H. B. Thomas has done much for the colored people of El Centro and Imperial. The colored Second Baptist church of El Centro had split, but Rev. Thomas got the factions to reunite and the dawn of peace is hovering over the little flock as never before. Rev. Thomas left our city for his home church on Friday evening, the 17th, much to the regret of the colored people, both of El Centro and Imperial, California, but we can truthfully say, whilst being in our midst for four or five days that they were days where the standard was raised through his influence we are more than proud of. And we must say that by his Christian and manly and businesslike way we were able, through the aid of the white people, to raise $110.24 for the indebtedness of our church. We were more than sorry to know that he could not be our pastor, but each evening that he was here he did not fail to stir up our pure minds about our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We bid him Godspeed and pray the blessings of God upon him wherever he may be called to hold up the staff for the Baptist cause. Will say further that we are proud to have in our midst, Mrs. S. B. Strickland of Pasadena, California, the President of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Auxiliary of Western Baptist Association. Mrs. Strickland will speak to sisters of home and foreign missionary circles each evening and each service Sunday. Mrs. Strickland, whilst in our city, is staying at Mrs. Addie Johnson's, 425 Commercial street. Respectfully yours, L. J. FERGUSON, Clerk. Luiet. Green of the U. S. A. is leaving the coast for New York and will sail from there to Liberia, where he will take up the military work of instruction: where Maj. Young left off. Y. M. C. A. makes greater effort than ever before to secure a bigger membership. Senator Works of California, recommends prayer instead of ammunition for the solution of the Mexican problem. Our good friend Charley Olivier called on us this week in anything but an amiable mood, but after talking over matters he shook our hand and took our word that the articles we write are wholly impersonal. We congratulate him on reason, it is much better if you have a grievance with your fellow man to go to him and have a common understanding instead of carrying a grudge. Capt. Walter Loving passed through the city this week en route to Arizona. Mr. H. Shannon who is the Northern representative of the California Eagle, is a visitor in the city, preparatory of making the annual tour with Editor Bass.

Deceased was a member of the Baptist church and his funeral was held at the church at 2 p.m. Saturday. Mr. Turner was 54 years of age and had resided in Pasadena for nine years. He came here from Vicksburg, Miss., and was a nephew of Mrs J. G. Larmon Ross. He is survived by the widow, one daughter, Mrs. Felix Vernon, and three sons, all of this city. Interment was at Mt. View. Rev. G. W. Reed, the Stockton evangelist, conducted special services Sunday at Friendship Baptist church both morning and evening. One of the ministers of this city was recently fined five dollars for contempt of court. Fred Overr has purchased a beautiful home on S. Vernon ave. Andrew Burton on N. Vernon is the proud owner of two autos. Mrs. Della Walker has ordered the Eagle sent to 1574 E. 28th St. Los Angeles. L. S. Baker is making quite a success on his patent for spraying. He is located at 691 N. El Moiina ave. Rev. R. W. Johnson continues to improve. Miss Maria Ford has graduated from the Chicago School of Music, and is now taking a post graduate course. She was a scholar in the Pasadena high school. She will return home about August 1st. Mrs. W. S. Pyle is doing a great work at the Metropolitan church. The meeting at Friendship Baptist church was quite a success this week, led by Rev. G. W. Reed of Stockton. At Orangeburg, S. C., one of the dormitories of the State Colored Agricultural college was burned on Monday last, 45 girls being injured, several fatally. They were cut off from fire escapes and stairways and jumped from upper floors. We regret to hear of the accident, as many of our best people here were former residents of South Carolina. At the Pasadena high school are James and Titus Moore, Noble Perry and Wm. Bunch. They are said to be the greatest quartette of colored students that ever entered high school. When Pasadena high school tract meets they always take a prize. James Moore and Wm. Bunch will graduate from Pasadena high school this term. Mrs. Washington, who has been stopping with Mrs. Frank Prince, became ill and had to be taken to the hospital. Her family was at once notified of her illness at Denver, and her cousin, Mrs. J. R. Jackson, at once left that city for Pasadena and arrived here Tuesday at 6 a.m. and is now at her bedside. We hope for the speedy recovery of Mrs. Washington. Rev E T. Hubbert is to address the brotherhoods of this city. There is some talk of organizing a Y.M.C.A. in this city. Mrs. Teat now has a large music class. The 9th cavalry is down in Mexico and the 24th in'antry has crossed the border. There will be something doing down there and all they need now is Col. Roosevelt to remind the Mexicans of Gen. Taylor in 1846. What has become of the federation of the state societies in Los Angeles that was organized some time ago, with Eugene Walker of the Georgia society, as president? When will it hold its annual banquet? Every Southern state from Virginia to Flerida, from South Carolina to Texas, was represented. We believe that would be one of the get-together movements that they talk about so much about. All of you were not born in New York, Chicago and Boston. Some of you were born in the South. Wake up and do not be satisfied with conditions, for time and tide waits for no man. Let me hear through the Eagle when you will meet again, Mr. President. Miss Susie Anderson, the house guest of Mrs. F. M. Prince on Kensington place, entertained a few of her young friends Sunday, among whom were Mrs. Bertha Warren and daughter of Los Angeles. BORN—To Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Prince, a son, on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. Mother and son are doing well and Charley is all smiles. Dr. Crane in attendance. Scott Thompson, a brother of Mrs. Menesfield, died Monday evening at the county hospital. He will be buried Monday in Los Angeles. President Wilson says that he has "been a college professor long enough to realize that there is nothing in either the the theory of free trade or the theory of protection." He said since his induction into office that there was "nothing in" a tariff board. No he loudly assures that there is "nothing in" opposition to one. When Dr. Wilson was a college professor he hurled academic anathemas against the initiative, the referendum and direct primaries. Now these things which he once denounced are dear to his heart. We can all remember when the president was in favor of peace at almost any price. Now his motto is: Let preparedness proceed, damn the expense. As a college professor Dr. Wilson was in favor of non-political appointments to Federal office. But, as president, if he has suffered any Republican anywhere to receive an appointment from him there is no record of it. Mr. Wilson has realized that there is nothing in watchful waiting in Mexico; nothing in intervening and sacrificing seventeen American lives in order to obtain a refusal to salute the flag; nothing in expressing dissatisfaction with the continued murdering of American citizens by lynching and disfranchising them in the south and, above all and beyond all, nothing in the Democratic platform declaration against a second term. Is it his experience as a school teacher or as a Democratic politician that leads Mr. Wilson to the conclusion that there is "nothing in" intellectual integrity and nothing in any theory, practice or promise, which interferes with his personal preferment?—Scrap Book. OUR MATRIMONIAL AND ADVICE COLUMN Aunt Jemima I am the mother of several boys and for some reason they are taking to smoking one by one. I am dreadfully worried, can you tell me the reason for them doing so. A. Offt times a mother serves foods to her family that are too rich. Foods that cause a craving in the stomach for a soother, and often tobacco is used for a temporary soother. Then again, it may be that you do not watch the company your boys keep, their associates if bad, are more likely to cause them to take on bad habits than any thing else. Why is it that the young people of today do not seem to find amusement at parties and other social garnerings unless they are dancing or card playing. A. I fear the greater mass of the young people of today are somewhat shallow minded. Their aim is not very high. It is sad that they don't realize that the energy that they use in dancing and the midnight oil wasted in playing cards could be put to a much better advantage. We are now standing in the threshold of a new age, and the future of our race depends upon the young people of today. My little boy is eight years old and he is very anxious to sell papers on Saturday and Sunday mornings and evenings. Would you advise me to allow him to do so. A. I thirk selling papers one of the most absurd things a mother can alow a boy under sixteen to do. The boy of the streets learns everything but the right thing. If you cannot care of your boy without turning him out in the streets to sell papers you had betters call on someone to help. The ladies of the Missionary society are giving a series of socials at which they are having great success. NOTHING IN IT. If you are looking for work and mean business, you will save time and worry by calling on J. W. Coleman, the old reliable employment agency. My strict business dealing and careful selection have won me the confidence of those who want colored help. J. W. Coleman 211 East 2nd st.

Rev. Gordon took for his text; "Under stanceest thou what thou readest" The audience listened while the pastor so beautifully pictured Philip and the Ethiopian. The Intelligent Ethiopian being the entire audience and a jew the preacher He gave many illustrations showing why the highest people in the world need religion more not because one is intelligent, can he get a passport to heaven, you must have some one to guide. This Ethiopian was very intelligent but did not seem to grasp the core which is the inner soul. He said you can teach your experience about the bible unless you understand the bible and its words. This Ethiopian was a man of lettes and understood so far as letters were concerned. While walking along reading he was asked did he understand what he was reading. He answered how can I understand? This shows that you cannot understand God with an intellectual grasp,unless we have some one to guide us who is in touch with God otherwise God will send some one in connection with the Spirit world to teach us. He said, preaching is having a grasp of the truth. The preacher must have that Jesus that the prephets talked about and give out by the force and power of his own heart. He said, we do not need theology but Jesus. We ought to be able to teach men how to come to God and accept the gospel. When the Ethiopian came to the river he was baptised and Philip was catching up. He said what we need more is to walk with Jesus, it was the understanding of God's word that brings us in touch with God. Loose from the world women and men and fly away with God and when we do what God wants us to do we will be cauht up aso. Sunday afternoon Dr. Gordon preached to the Monrovians. Sunday evening our church was honored by the presence Rev.

Mrs. C. L. Daniels of Chicago was extended a hearty welcome by the president, Mrs Tena Little. Mrs. Daniels responded with such beautiful words, telling of the pleasant moments she has spent in the City of Angels, that her audience completely enraptured. A short program was enjoyed by the visitors Mrs. E. V. Stewart, a guest of the evening, sweetly sang in her usual manner. Miss Missouri Busy rendered a few piano selections which called for a hearty applause. Desdames N. F. Richardson, Sarah Wilson and Fannie Cheatham were also guests of the day. Mr. R. McLemore, brother of John McLemore, deceased, was in the city this week from San Francisco to attend the funeral of his brother. P. H. Dupas, who has been making his home at El Centro for the past few years, is back in the city, where he intends to remain, and will be employed by the C. C. Co. His friends welcome him. Rev.

Mr. and Mrs. Offutt and daughter, Glendora, were in the city visiting old friends Sunday. We are delighted to have in our midst a very intelligent and energetic young man in the person of Mr. Boon, who recently comes to us from Houston, Tex. Mr. Boon has been in our city but three months, but in so short a time he has become a leading worker in the Y.M.C.A., and also has the honor of being the only colored member of the Poly high school chorus. The no note choir which sings every Sunday afternoon at Wesley chapel are giving much inspiration to all who attend, through their sweet music. All Native Sons and Daughters of California are urged to attend their next club meeting, which is to be held at the home of James Smith of 18th street. The last meeting was reported to be one of the best for some time. After taking a peep in on the Women's Day nursery on Channing street, we are forced to say just a word in praise in regards to the condition of the home. So sweet and clean was the home and the surroundings, and every child's face beamed with happiness and contentment. A very pretty surprise party was given in honor of Miss Mammie Payne on last Saturday night at the home of Miss I. Russell of Lake Shore avenue. The Kansas and Missouri club was highly entertained last Tuesday evening by Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Woodyard, 868 E. 41st street. About 30 were present.

There were thousands of colored patriotic citizens present. At 10 a.m. the first line of the dedication day parade started from Columbia and Broadway headed by Colonel Joseph H. Pendleton, of the 4th regiment U S. Marines, every branch of the United States service was represented in the line and many that were to march are now in Mexico. The spectacle inspired the patriotism of the crowds along the line of march. At 11 a.m. the troops were reviewed in Plaza de Panama by exposition officials, visiting representatives of the U.S. government and participating nations. The opening address was made by R. N. Bulla, first vice-president of the exposition. Telegrams of congratulations from every part of world were read by Mayor Edwin Capps and following this Governor Hiram Johnson spoke on behalf of the State of Cailtornia. President Charles C. Moore of the exposition was unable to be present because of illness and his congratulations were read. Two minutes before noon Pres. G. H. Davidson offered his toast to peace and the eposition, the glass which he raised was filled with California orange juice in honor of Orange Day, which falls on this date. This same toast was drank at the same time in all parts of the world. At noon the guns of the warsbips in the harbor boomed out the national salute and the flags of eighteen nations were unfurled. The Stars and Stripes were raised on the big flagpole on the plaza while the government band played the "Star Springled Banner." Count Del Valle de Salazar raised the Spanish flag sent President Davidson by King Alfonso. Miss San Diego 1916 officiated at the unfurling of the exposition's new flag. At 12:05 President Davidson declared the exposition officially opened Secretary of Interior Franklin K. Lane, representing President Wilson and the United States government spoke at 12:45 followed addresses by governors and mayors Secretary Lane, always popular in the west, explained that the President had really hoped to be present himself, but the stress of international complications and the Mexican situation had made it impossible. At 2 p.m. signal guns were fired by the U. S. Marine Corps on the exposition grounds and these were answered by signal bombs at the North Island aviation station. Immediately a dozen aeroplanes were seen rising from the aviation field flying to the exposition grounds and after circling the exposition building, four of America's most intrepid birdmen landed and took part in the afternoon's program. The aerial parade gives the San Diego exposition the distinction of being the first ever opening with such a spectacular feature. At 1:15 the Spanish singers and dancers returned for 1916. Tommasino's Royal Italian band with the Milan Grand Opera Singers, gave special concerts and will be heard again. Dr. Humphrey J. Stewart, exposition's official organist, will be heard in many grand selections. The "Court of Leap Year" was dedicated by adventurous bachelors from San Diego, Los Angeles and from San Francisco. Miss San Diego 1916 was given her exposition badge of authority and in the evening she her banquet at the Cafe Cristobal which was very well attended. As the guests were too numerous and I think I have said enough I will close. I wonder who will be the first of the race to be caught in the "Court of Leap Year." P. H. Steward, district of the San Diego district of the A. M. E. church, has been elected to the conference at Riverside which convened April 5 and 6. He will represent the Sunday school, Christian Endeavor as well as the church Mr. Maxwell is very prominent in the city, the Eagle extends to him a crowning success while away and hopes that he will fulfill all obligations intrusted to him. Rev. T. Allen Harvey, of the A.M. church called at the Eagle office and reported that the cloud has passed over and that the flock is again working in peace and harmony. They had an arousing sermon Sunday and the Lord blessed them with one conversion, the financial standing of the church has grown beyond all past performances. All who have not attended church of late have failed to hear that hermonious choir. Mrs. P. H. Phillips of Coronado was noticed among the busy guests on the Isthmus as well as were Mrs C.E Norwood and friend Mrs. C.A.

San Diego invites the world. Have you heard the latest composed by the sailor boy S. V. Bell. "Won't you come to California and me?" Buy a copy and try it on your piano. It is the talk of the town wherever it is played. For sale at the Southern California Music Co. The U,B.F.'s held a stag party at Masonic hall Thursday night. Bro.ray said the object was to arouse the enthusiasm of the members and to bring together many of the stray sheep of the flock, that they may understand the united brotherly love of the fraternity. State Grand Master T. A. Harris of Los Angeles made his first annual visit to the Fidelity Lodge last Friday night, March 17th. His lectures were inspiring to all members present. After the meeting the large banquet hall was thrown open. Where the members sat down and enjoyed the passover until the tick of twelve, which made all hearts beat as one, while here he was a guet of A.bert Henderson, of State street. Miss Leona Nowlin, who has cut many dashes in the Wednesday night functions, is keeping up with the times by becoming a subscriber for the Eagle. Atty, W. O. Tyler after disposing of the case of Whiteside vs. Whiteside in favor of Mrs. Whiteside, making a flying trip to Tia Juana and visiting the exposition, returned home Saturday and said he would return shortly to enjoy the wonders of the world at the exposition. La Jolla, known as the cliff house by the sea, seems to have some beautiful maids who spend their time watching the waves beat upon the rocks, but that does not sooth their aching hearts asthey say that God did not intend for woman to live alone and as the waves rolled over they prayed to God, a man.

The San Diego Gold Contest which has been continued for days, is still open for contestant. One hundred and ten dollars Rucker & Winnifred at the Savoy have made the hit of the season, their act is worth seeing. You would have thought the battleship San Diego had fired a shot from the amount of applause. The colored employees received quite a compliment for their efficiency on the opening day at the exposition. Rev. C. C. Williams of El Centro preached Sunday night at Mt. Zion Baptist church. His sermon spiritually and intellectually was well delivered and uplifting to all who heard. The Carnation club gave a Leap Year social at the residence of Mrs L. E. Goodwin Tuesday night. They are wondering who will be the first from the Rose Buds to be plucked from the bush. The wedding bells will soon ring on Arjona street. They are all wondering who is the pretty mold at Brwn's Cafe. Well just call around, she is not a stranger: When she is not busy she can be seen taking quotations in Spanish; from all evidence she is intending to become a nurse with the 10th Cavalry in Mexico and if she does I pity the 10th.

Reese reports that she is enjoying the farm life, her products will soon be ready for the market, many delicious fruits and vegetables that she has on her farm to entertain her many friends. She reports that the floods washed several street cars on her farm, which the company kindly donated to her. She came to town in that new auto like a sailor going to a ship and was advised to go chase Villa and by the time that she caught him she would be an expert chauffeur. Before she left she subscribed for the Eagle. Why do some people halt between two opinions?

There is nobody that cannot do some good. It is a false and indolent humility that make people sit still and do nothing, because they will not believe that they are capable of doing much, for everybody can do something. Everybody can set a good example be it to many or to few. Everybody has someone they can advise, instruct or in some way help to guide thru life. Those who are too poor to give alms can yet give their time, their assistance in preparing or forwarding the gifts of others; everybody can offer ad their prayers for those who need them. "He who waits to do a great deal of good at once, will never do any." Good is done by degrees. However small in proportion to benefits which follow individual attempts to do good, a great deal may be accomplished by perserverance, even in the midst of discouragements and disappointments. Life is made up of little things. If we would do much good in the world we must be willing to do little things, little acts one after another, setting a good example all the time. There is a pleasure in contemplating good, there is a greater pleasure in receiving good; but the greatest pleasure of all is in doing good, which comprehends the rest. Do good with what thou hast, or it will do -thee no good.

Zion Baptist church, wish to rectify the statements of Rev.G.W. Woodby in one of tYe previous issues. Rev. Curry did take communion at the methodist church, but when he was brought before the church he said in the most christian like way and as humble as he could, "church, I did not know or feel as I was committing a sin to commune with the methodist Christians, but if I have committed any wrong or sin I would iske for the church to tell me and I beg the church's pardon." He made this statement four or five times, but the Rev. Woodby in his way of ruling stated that we have no pardon to grant him as he does not feel that he committed any sin; so then other members of the church expressed their personal belief in the matter to such an extent that it was asked if the moderator would put it to a vote and see what the members believed. The majority voted that they did not think it committing a sin to take communion with any one that claimed to be Christians, and that they neither believed it a sin for any Christian to commune with us. But the members did not understand or vote to have the church to stand for an open com- DON-SUMMER AND BARBER SUPPLIES San Diego PHONE: Main 2219-W LES GRAY, and Chimney Sweeping RK GUARANTEED Address White Hardware Co., 3862 Fifth Street.

POISONOUS EFFECTS OF NICOTINE ON THE HUMAN ECONOMY Master of Ceremonies, Ladies and Gentlemen; The truth of the subject I have been a asked to discuss has no doubt been impressed upon you many times prior to this event—that nicotine is a poison and a deadly poison cannot be controverted and that its abuse constitutes one of the prevailing evils of the day is a fact which is to be deplored. Most of us know of nicotine as the active principle of tobacco. Combined with an organic acid the alkaloid is present in every part of the plant, the amount varying in different varieties from 2 to 10 per cent. There is no other plant that contain this alkaloid. Altho pure nicotine is a most deadly poison the plant containing it is used in a great varieties of ways, and by some in very large quantities. From this we must conclude that nicotine as it exists in the plant is not readily absorbed into the body. However, there are many cases of poisoning from the plant or record, but it must be admitted after we have taken all of the possibilities into consideration that a certain degree of immunity is acquired by those who use the weed. The effects of the first smoks or chew need not be described. They are familiar to most males who have reached years of maturity. There have been reported two cases of immediate death from excessive smoking, one man having smoked 17 and another 18 pipes at one sitting. One death has been reported from the taking of too much snuff. Cases of poisoning from the application of leaves of tobacco locally for the relief of ringworm have been reported, and in some of these the termination was fatal. Infusions of tobacco were once used by irregular practitioners as rectal injections in cases of constipation and death from this cause has been reported. Insue persons have swallowed large quantities of the leaf, and of infusions of tobacco, and in some cases death has ensued. It is stated that one of the lesser French poets of the past century was killed by drinking a glass of wine into which a box of Spanish snuff had been emptied by a half drunken companion. I have cited these instances to emphasize the fact that tobacco is undoubtedly a poison of great virulence. doubleday rage Light 1125 CENTRAL AVENUE Main 9219 We Deli Nicotine is the only active agent of tobacco and therefore all of the poisonous symptoms which arise from abuse of its preparation are due to this poison. On the human economy when taken in excessive quantities it causes nausea vomitting, giddiness, trembling of the limbs, marked prostration, accompanied by muscular weakness, feeble action of the heart, slow respiration and dilatation of the pupils. In extreme cases the limbs become cold, the body is bathed with perspiration, the face is blanched, and the intellect is impaired. When pure nicotine is administered death may occur within a few minutes and the records of the earlier part of the 19th century show numerous instances in which death occurred within half an hour or less after the employment of a rectal injection of an infusion of tobacco. Death in cases of poisoning from nicotine results primarily from depression of the heart's action and paralysis of the respiratory center. In experiments with this drug it has been found that a very small quantity of this poison injected into the ear of a rabbit causes, in about ten seconds, violent convulsions that last three to five minutes. When the injection is repeated frequently there is no immunity or tolerance, and the aorta, the main blood channel of the body exhibits signs of hecrosis, or local death of the part. This drug is held responsible for arterial sclerosis or hardening of the arteries so prevalent in males past middle age, who are addicted to its use. It is impossible to say just what the smallest fatal dose for man is, it is probably, however, only a fraction of a grain. These scientific facts bring home to us forcibly that nicotine or tobacco is a rank poison and consequently it works havoc with the human system. The cultivation of a gradual tolerance is the grounds on which the apparent impunity which the habitual user may be explained. It is not within the province of this paper to make an ethical application of the scientific facts here adduced. The human race, always preverse, will no doubt continue to use this deadly drug in the face of the most appalling truths presented. The mountain climbers of theue Andes are as much addicted to the use of arsenic as the typical American user of tobacco and yet arsenic occupies chief rank as one of the most fatal poisons. Reviewing these circumstances we must conclude that there exists in humaan nature an unaccountable yearning to tempt fate by doing things that are strictly interdicted. In conclusion, let-me say that the abuse of tobacco, and especially the cigarette habit is one We Deliver Street EIR UAL SALE produced from 1-3 and get your er. eet Bungalow Aprons special at liver 49c of the besetting sins of the day. This pernicious habit is the cause of a large percentage of the physical and mental wrecks who are as lode-stones about the neck of humanity today. I close with this unanswerable truth- "Whoosever uses nicotine does so at his own peril." Three hours of oratory and impassioned appeal Sunday, March 12, opened the California "Dry" campaign of the colored citizens of Los Angeles and vicinity. The meeting was held under auspices of the Forum, probably the most influential and energetic organization of colored people in the city. Ministers of the gospel, physicians, professional and business men took their stand and proclaimed their convictions and the influence of the meeting will undoubtedly go far toward crystalizing the sentiment of hundreds of voters. Among the speaker were: Dr. D. M. Gandier, State Sup't. California Campaign Federation Geo. Thomason, M. D. Long Beach Sanitarium. Rev. Manfred P: Welcher, Field Sec. Anti-Cigarette League of America. B. E Fullmer, M.D., Los Angeles. Those representing the colored organizations and churches were: Rev. E.W.Kincoen, Wesley Chapel. Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth E. C. Nelson, M.D. Howard Folke Julius Steves, President Forum The program was particularly rich in music which was interspersed throughout. There were solos and special music by the noted Glendale male quartette, and choirs of Watts and Furlong S.D. A. churches. Elder Sydney Scott served as chaisman ably assisted by the president and vice-president of the Forum. The temperance question was approached from every angle, the minister with his scripture texts, the physician with his experience and scientific knowledge, the business man with an eye to the economic aspect of the liquor question and the attorney with law and logic. Predominating in every speech was the idea of a clean land in which to love, live and labor. Dr. D.M. Gandier, State Supt. California Campaign Fedoration—I am more than glad to be here to tell you about our plans for the great campaign now on to make California "dry," We have two amendments to be voted on at the November election. One amendment provides for the closing of all the drinking places January 1, 1918, the other provides for closing up of the whole liquor business January 1, 1920. ```markdown ``` Our slogan is: "Two "dry" amendments—vote yes on both." The task is big enough for the biggest of us. The fight is worthy of the best there is in all of us. To illustrate, when South Carolina went dry, only 54,000 votes were cast in all. In Los Angeles county alone we will have four times as many votes as were cast in all South Carolina. In Arizona they were only 863 saloons and drinking places, in Oregon only 1,844, in Washington only 2,612. In all the last 11 states which went dry there were 14 750 saloons. In our glorious state of California, how many do you suppose we have, 15,117 or 367 more than there were in all these 11 states put together. Yes, it will be a big fight, but God helping us we will win. Continued next week. African Education Success San Francisco, Feb. 23—That the black man of Africa had been raised to a high plane of civilizations was the declaration made today by James E. Crowther, a missionary recently returned from Africa, at the closing session of the Laymen's Missionary Movement convention. He said that the British were beginning to consider the problem of granting the people of their African dependencies the franchise and the right to have people of their own color represent them in government councils.—From The Scrap Book. Cardinal Gibbons Opposes 'Dry' Bill Baltimore, Md., Feb. 22—Cardinal Gibbons in an interview today said: "I am strongly opposed to any State-wide prohibition bill because I believe such a law cannot be enforced in a city like Baltimore. "A law of this kind interferes with personal liberty rnd rights and creates hypocrisy in the people. The history of the world demonstrates that man always has and always will use intoxicating liquors. "However, I am heartily in favor of temperance. I am also a firm believer in local option which means closing all saloons or where drinks are sold over bars."—from the Scrap Book. Peace! Prosperity! Union!
