Watts Citizens Will March to Victory; Election Monday April 10th PHONE MAIN 1594 Volume 29 Wa March OUR COLORED CLIENTAGE AT WATTS The colored population at Watts is a creditable one. In nearly every political campaign since the birth of Watts the colored voters seem to have been able to get together on issues, and have voted solidly. This spirit on the part of our people points towards a solid successful future for those of us who are turning our faces towards this little city of prosperity. Now it is only hoped that the sturdy, hard working colored citizens of this growing little city will keep their eyes and ears open and keep out those lazy political pirates, who pollute the civic and social life of any city in which they are allowed to operate. On next Monday avail yourselves of the opportunity of every good citizen—go to the polls and vote this ticket that your own representative citizens published in this paper because they believe, out of their part experience that these men if put in office will deal justly with all men. Editor J. B. Bass, in company with our San Francisco representative, Mr. H. Shannon, is visiting San Diego and Imperial this week. All along the line Editor Bass is boosting for a bigger and better California for blacks and whites alike. Seeing the handwriting on the wall, the opponents of Jacob J. Hohn, J. S. Lange and W. I. Hopcraft, are using all kinds of hog wash in their efforts to stem the tide but they have been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and the colored vote which is the balance of power in this election will be a solid phalanx for the people's ticket, headed by Jake Hohn and Jack Lange. They have stooped but at that will utterly fail to conquer, the old rot about saloon license has spent its bolt and acted as a boomerang. No colored man wants a saloon license. And if he did as long as Watts is wet he would have as much right to have one as any other citizen thereof. The people are sore and tired of ring rule in Watts and they are all congratulating the colored voters on their firm stand to break it up. The question before the voters is, "Shall the People Rule," and Monday the answer will be echoed back, they will. Hohn, Lange and Hoperaft will win hands down because they are for the people. It is therefore the plain and imperative duty of the colored voters of Watts to stand their ground and in one grand solid phalanx without a dissenting or discordant note, balance the scales in this election for the people. Monday night meeting of the league was an enthusiastic one and all are on edge for the final fray on next Monday. THE RAINBOW DRILL AT WASHINGTON HALL WEDNESDAY EVENING UNDER AUSPICES OF MME. C. J. WALKER'S CULTURE CLUB BIG SUCCESS. Much credit is due Mrs. Vernon Gray and the ladies assisting her for the success of the affair given for the benefit of the Mme. C. J. Walker's Culture Club. The affair, especially the drill, was a brilliant affair, and the twenty-four girl drillers dem- The California Eagle Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., April 8, 1916 onstrated thorough and accurate training, much credit for which, we believe, is due Miss Lauretta Butler, who has proven herself master of the art in child training for concert and vaudeville acts. The character songs by Misses Louise Littlejohn and Green were also well done. A large appreciative audience was present, and everyone was highly pleased with the affair. The gentleman and lady holding the lucky card given at the door received presents of scalp treatment on the spot. PRENTICE DRUG STORE GIVES GRAND OPEN- ING The opening of 'the Prentice Drug Store on 12th and Central Ave. on last Monday evening was a grand success. People in all walks of life came out in large numbers to pay their respects and to wish the genial proprietor success. This highly creditable institution which will not suffer in comparison with any drug store in the city for its completeness and service is now open for business and solicits your patronage. Monday evening each visitor was serverd with light refreshments and all left declaring Dr. Prentice the prince of hosts. NOTED EVANGELIST AND LECTURER WILL SPEAK AT METROPOLITAN BAP.

They know that he can have no other than a keen interest for the future prosperity of Watts, as he has large property interests here, he is a plain, common, every-day, unassuming young man whom all may approach and consult on the problems which confront the city and that is what is needed in Watts at this time. He is receiving the united support of the League and will be a strong winner on the 10th. John S. Lange Now John Lange is the one best bet for the people in this election. He has been tried and found to ring true on every proposition which had for its object the interests of the people. As a present member of this board he stands like a stone wall for the people. The people universally hold in the highest esteem Mr. Lange for his great service in their behalf and will give to him a magnificent endorsement on the 10th of April. W. L. Hopcraft for City Clerk W.

Hoperaft is one of the splendid citizens of Watts who has since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, been a booster for Watts. He is out on his merits for this position. The California Eagle desires to give its support to Mr. Hoperaft. He has been a man that has encouraged the enterprise of these people as for many months those who read the Eagle will remember his advertisement was always therein. So for the reason of his fitness and this time because he is with the people against the ring, we urge for him a strong and unanimous support. Mrs. Sarah A. Smith for Treasurer Now for this office the present incumbent, Mrs. Sarah A. Smith, has no opposition, but we want to say that she is a splendid, first class citizen and all are proud of her and to know that she has always made good. DAUGHTER AND FRIEND SURPRIZE MOTHER WITH A DOUBLE BIRTHDAY PARTY. Last Saturday afteronon Mrs. Jessie B. Saunders of Ceres ave. was allured from her home to another part of the city by a friend while her daughter, Mrs. Earnest Jones, transformed their neat little home into a thing of beauty, for illies, chrysanthemums and green foliage adorned both ceiling and wall, and refreshments toning with the color scheme, pink and white in decoration was brought in.

An excellent program was rendered, Mrs. D. Martin singing, "The Perfect Day," which charmed everyone present. Mrs. Saunders, who because of her cheery disposition is loved by her friends an neighbors said to The Eagle representative, "My cup is running over with joy and I think it was very sweet of my daughter and Mrs. Dawson to think of this for me." Mrs. Saunders was the recipient of many beautiful tokens. ```markdown ``` Evidence League at Watts in the Election April 10th Watts is coming to a head and th will be elected beyond per- ce League wants to clinch this will forever silence those who in Watts.

While here, Miss Temple visited the Progressive Literary Club and was much elated at the progress made by them since her last visit. Miss Josephine Baker gave a splendid concert which was featured with many new hits in the musical world as well as splendid recitations, last Tuesday night, at First Baptist Church, Furlong. Clarence L. James, superintendent of the Second A. M. E. church, is in Riverside for the S. S. Convention. He expects to remain over until Saturday evening. Unless some one renders aid to the "Poly Social" Club, we are inclined to believe that they will not last long. The club made a mistake in not qualifying their membership and as a result, cannot do anything with some of their members. They ought to take a peek at what their little sister, The Progressive Club, is doing. The Sunday afternoon club, of which Lawrence Patterson is president, could also use some advice. The sooner that some of our young people learn that we are not to act as children, but pattern after the older people, the better it will be for us all. ```markdown ``` "VENGEANCE IS MINE," SAITH THE LORD While ministers of the Gospel both white and black are crying from their pulpits "Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand, while sinners are crying "What shall we do to be saved;" and while the 10th Cavalry, a regiment of black men are marching as it were into the very mouth of hell in Mexico—Oklahoma wrestles with eGorgia for honors in the perpetuation of heinous crimes upon the "Black Men" within her borders. Tuesday. April 4th (Special to the L. A. Tribune) IDABELL, Okla., April 3.—Identified by his girl victim as the man who criminally assaulted her, Oscar Martin, colored, was lynched in the court room here today. Martin was having his preliminary hearing. The girl took the witness stand and identified him. Immediately a number of men quietly arose, disarmed the officers and seized him. A rope was tied around his neck, fastened to a projection and he was shoved from a platform in the court room. As he dangled there one of the mob shot him twice. The crowd dispersed at once. No arrests were made. Is it possible that this government, founded upon a constitution that says that all men shall enjoy rights and privileges, will continue to call upon its black soldiers to intervene in the Philippines and Mexico and not protect those same citizens and soldiers from the howling mobs of the Southland, that blight this civilization and cast reflection upon the religion of the age. Oh, Uncle Sam, we pray three to bend thy proud head and have mercy upon these thy black subjects for the God whom we give jeets for the God whom we serve is not dead, and neither are these black soldiers who stand ready to protect and defend this country asleep to the treatment you administers as compensation for service. SOME MEETING There was called to meet at the 14th street school on last Monday evening what was to be a harmony or get together meeting of the Republican voters of the 74th Assembly district. It was the plan to unite the various clubs into one district organization, but there was nothing do ing. We have taken part in many meetings, some stormy ones, in the last quarter of a century but of all the meetings that we have ever attended this one caps the climax. It was some meeting. There was one man walking up and down the floor who defied the whole gathering to make him "sit down;" there was another jumping up every minute or so with a point of order; there was another and divers ones who seemed bent on the idea that HARMONY was just the thing they did not want. This in no way describes the meeting. It was disgusting to good citizens. So raw it was that many arose abruptly and left, especially when a preacher arose and commenced to recite how he loved his people. A funny incident took place as the club man left a preacher who was on the floor said "there goes my friend; he gave me three dollars for my church." Another person close by said, "how much gin?" The question was unanswered. In all fairness to Mr. Utterback, who acted as chairman, let it be said he was fair and impartial and gave to all a fair and square deal. But the wreckers were there to wreck and there was nothing doing, and there never will be as long as these forces are allowed to be recognized in organized bodies. So the district organizations stand as they were and we suppose will each work in their own way. The regular 74th district club, of which J. H. Penson is the president, will hold a monster rally the date of which will be announced next week. Samuel O. Bell of hte Torpedo Boat, Perry, stationed at San Diego, was a pleasant visitor to our office this week. Mr. Bell has been in the U. S. service two years. Before entering the navy he lived in Los Angeles and Pasadena respectively. With a personal glimpse of Mr. Bell we were impressed with him as being a splendid young man with ability as a song writer. Already his "Won't you come out to California and Me" has wide circulation and high appreciation by those persons who have been fortunate enough to secure copies. Mr. Bell tells us that he has several other songs now in the hands of the publishers. "Won't you Come Out to California and Me" is light and airy in tone, but filled with a pathetic ring akin to a craving for the aesthetic and beautiful. We must judge his future efforts by this first splendid production. AFTER THIRTY YEARS The editor of The Eagle on his regular business tour at San Diego ran across a cousin whom he had not seen for thirty years in the person of J. G. Bass. Mr. Bass runs the Annex rooming house, opposite the postoffice. We were royally entertained by our cousin and his estimable wife, and spent hours talking over scenes of our childhood days in dear old Missouri. Mr. Bass is employed at the Sanford Hotel and is not only making good there, but as a high class citizen as well. The Progressive Literary Club held its April business meeting last Saturday evening at the home of Mr. Clarence James. Plans were launched for the debating and spelling teams. Mr. Agastas Greene and Miss May Rogers were elected captains of the debating and spelling teams, respectively, while Hilbert Rozier was elected manager of both teams. 500-510 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco Our vulcanizing plant is the largest and best in tubes.

The M.E. church conference opens May 16 at Saratoga Springs, N.Y. This conference will cost $125,000 and there will be 840 delegates. Los Angeles will send the first and only colored delegate from the Pacific Coast, Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth. The paramount question will be the union of the two great bodies which slavery separated in 1844. Since then 340,000 colored has joined the M.E. chuch, but the M.E. church, South, does not want them. Don't forget the rally at Scott Chapel Sunday. Why is it that the lodges don't get together and buy a lot, while they can, and build a hall on it, and stop paying rent? They say that only one man stands in the way. The question is, are you going to let one ignorant man prevent race progress? When will the State Societies meet again?

Go and help the colored Y.M.C.A. on April 10 PREPAREDNESS This is an extensive subject and vital to us all. Just as an army must be equipped and prepared for battle or as the birds and beasts of the field are prepared by nature to exist comfort ably just so must man, the perfection of God's creatioo, be prepared for the battles and storme of life. Yet, peculiar as it may seem to us, it is navertheless true, that man, altho being the most intelligent of all earthly creatures and capable of the most thorough and efficient preparation, is many many times the least prepared to cope with the prevailing conditions or ordinary existence. The term "man" in its entirety denotes far more than physical quality. Indeed, without the "mental man" the "physical man" is a nonentity, but in man complete, it is the medium of expression of the inner or mental man. It is mentality with which I wish to deal mostly. Having Christianity ns our foundation, we begin to look into and examine the inner man; intending to eradicate the defects and undesirable traits of character and establishing those that are desirable and essential. Within ourselves lay the elements of failure or success and it is our duty to get busy on the inside First; we must be honest and courageous, unselfish and aspiring, patient and steadfast, not given to too much much changeableness. We must beware of those little hazards, such as the use of slang, cowardly backbiting, lying, drinking, smoking, gambling and other evils that steal into the heart and as a thief in the night, cut asunder the cords of success and soon sink us waist deep in the mire of iniquity. I assure you it is not pleasant to speak of the faults of humanity, but the wounds of a friend are faithful and much more to be desired than vain flattery, which keeps us blind to true state of affairs. Next; we must acquire knowledge and experience and dexterity in meeting or evading certain conditions, our minds should be receptive of good and progressive thoughts and oh; how powerful are thoughts, a thought has proven more injurious to me than a days hard work. We are almost entirely influenced and governed by our thoughts. For instance a family seated at supper are told of the burning of their business establishment. Immediately they are overwhelmed by surprise and terror, a few moments later, they are informed that the report was a mistake and immediately they are pacified, or a group of people go wading, one or two dislike the cold water and hesitate. They are apprehensive of a disagreeable sensation and ponder at the bank. The others enter fearlessly and summon the backward ones to follow, finally they creep in little by little and persuade themselves that the water was not so unpleasant after all; their hesitancy was occasioned by their own thoughts, and so, to a great extent the same is the case with man generally. It is not so much what the occurance or condition may be, but what we think of it. Consequently, we govern ourselves by our own estimations, reasoning, thoughts and conclusions. In short, we must possess trained and cultured mind, free from much of the worldly traffic and pled with the vital knowledge so necessary to work of uplifting struggling mortals. And now we come to the physical man. It is needless to say that weakness in the physical man begets untold suffering and his record is little more than a list of defeats for a weak and depleted body, is rarely more than a defeat. Such is a very sad picture, but beneath many a broken frame, lies the highest type of true manhood and womanhood. While weak physically man is more or less susceptible to the woes of this world and sometimes he is weak morally. Whether we believe it or not, it is a fact that a weakling sometimes has a harder struggle to be honest and manly than does the superb physical specimen. Furthermore, great mental endurance, ambition, and the greatest heights of success are simply unattainable and happiness is a mere myth without a strong physical foundation. Many writers and speakers have quoted numerous articles on the subjects of mind and body and some may suppose that my statements herein are copied, but they are not. I am speaking just as I really believe and as I have to a great extent learned, through experience, "originality" or nothing for me. I advise all who have not a strong constitution and normally well developbody to adopt, wherever advisable some reasonable system of home exercises and bring themselves up to normal. Personally I have relieved myself of severe indigestion and a general run down condition of the system aud added more than 25 pounds to my weight by the aid of an original system of home exercises and cold sponge baths. Health is worth working for and cannot be bought for dollars and cents. When we possess healthy minds and bodies together with free consciences THEN and then only do we know life to the fullest. There are so many things to be said along this line that I do not feel justified in attempting a more extended treatise on the subject. I feel that all that has been said, is merely a composition of hints at the foundation, and we must become acquainted with with the realities by our own personal experiences. We owe it to others as well as ourselves, to be prepared and sensible during our career through this world, and we need also know that success and happiness in this world as well as our worthiness of a reward in the other world, depends upon the thoroughness with which we understand and put into practice, the fact that efficiency, (spiritually, morally, mentally ann physically) is only another way of saying "Preparedness."

The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell passed away Friday last after a severe attack of whooping cough. Mrs. M. Davis sustained a total loss of household goods last Tuesday when her home mysteriously caught fire while she was confined to her bed ill. The representative or thinking class of Oakland's colored citizens would have it clearly understood that the sentiment expressed by the management of the Balmer Apartments is wholly out of harmony with theirs. The Balmer has posted a sign which reads, "Housekeeping rooms for rent, colored preferred." We are constantly fighting unjust discrimination. Let us be sensible and do unto others as we would be done unto. We object to other people putting up like signs, why shoul we. It is a blight on American civilization for any people to establish any such precedent. If the management will kindly change the wording of that sign it will greatly felicitate matters for the future of Oakland.

THA CALIFORNIA EAGLE The threatening weather did not frighten the parishoners who frequent First church Sunday. It was a glorious worship throughout the entire day. Mrs. F. E. Washington of Bakersfield and Mrs. Pauline Johnson of Indianapolis became full members. Rev.

You are welcome to these meetings. Palm Sunday will be observed by a special sermon by the pastor at the morning service and special music by the choir. Owing to the special services throughout Easter Day, the public is hereby informed that the choir-processional will take place at 10:45 a.m. and 7:45 p.m. Just a little earlier than usual Sunday school will begin its program at 9:30 sharp.

THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST (Odd Fellows' Hall, Cor. Eighth and Wall Sts.) Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor. Four converts, exclusive of eight other accessions, resulted from the great services held last Sunday. The pastor, who seemed to have been filled with a double portion of the Holy Spirit preached two masterful and impressive sermons, which were visibly effective upon both of the large audiences that overcrowded Odd Fellows hall to worship. His text for both sermons was, Matt. 27:35, "And They Crucified Him." Communion was observed and a good representation of the membership, together with many visitors partook of the holy sacrament. EAST EIGHTH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH The Farewell Social given on March 28 was indeed a success both socially and financially. A good number was in attendance. We wish to take this opportunity to thank those who made it so. Each participant was at their best. Owing to the fact that our pastor, Rev D. L. McMickens has been ill since March 22, Bros. I. J. Williams and Garfield Coleman have been conducting the services. Sunday morning Bro. Williams delivered a most helpful and inspiring sermon "The Prodigal Son." In the evening Bro. Coleman's sermon on "The Foundation Stone" was very beneficial. Rev McMickens is now convalescent Sunday was a great day in Zion, a large audience listed to the pastor's sermon on "Vinyard of the Lord" at 11 a.m. Sunday morning the pastor will preach on "The Need and the Condition." A large audience will no doubt be present at this service. Beginning Palm Sunday there will be held a series of meetings and it is our earnest hope and prayer that many souls shall be brought in from the fields of sin and lukewarm christians revived. Some of the leading pastors in the city will assist in these meetings. Prov. Inst. Baptist Church. Sunday morning Pastor Williams will preach from the subject, "The Meaning of Prayer." The choir will render special music at morning and evening worship. Rev. A. J. Williams will preach Sunday night from the subject, "The Love Which Christ Has For Us." There will be baptism Sunday morning. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Sunday we were blessed with two splendid services. The pastor preached in the morning on 'Our Place in God's Plan,' in the evening on "A Man With God." Next Sunday Rev. Jesse E. Raynor, missionary from Africa-Inland Mission will preach in the morning. He will also exhibit some of the work of the native Africans The pastor will preach in the eve, night. Friday night the Missionary Guild had its regular meeting at at the home of Mrs. M, L. Byars, 754 East 15th street. The Inter Denominational Missionary committee of all churches will have an opening meeting at this church Tuesday night, April 11. A very interesting program has been prepared. You are cordially invited to attend these meetings. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH MONROVIA Sunday was a notable day at the Second Baptist church. A spiritual wave vertok the entire 11 o'clock services. It was 2 o'clock before the spiritual man gave way to the natural man and at that late hour we were loth to leave the house of God. Visitors Sunday were Mme. Vess, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Anderson Rev. Howard, M., Echerson of Los Angeles and Rev. L. Shepherd of Helena, Montana. The B.Y.P.U. had a rousing meeting Sunday evening, Bro. Lloyd Johnson, the capable president, returned home Sunday from Eagle Rock, where he has lately taken a position. The Sunday school is progressively under the supervision of its energetic Superintendent, Bro. A. Cross. Rev. I. H. Davis of Tabernacle Baptist church will preach Sunday at 11 a.m. Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena and Its Pastor (By Rev.G.W.Reed, Evangelist) Among the number of churches which I held meetings during my evangelistic campaign in the southern part of the state, there was none that impressed me more favorable than the Friendship Baptist church of Pasadena and its learned pastor. This impression was engendered by their demonstration of high spiritual fervor and layalty. From the beginning of the meeting to the night of closing, every one almost to the man, was at his post of duty. During the day it was common to hear them calling over up the phone and inviting their friends and sinners to attend the meeting. There was hardly a night that I did not preach to a full house, often to an overflowing house, as the prayer meeting room, had to be pressed into service a number of evenings. I was specially attracted by the intellectuality of the membership. It was pleasing to note the progress of modern ideas of christian worship and service. These people are not only to be admired because of their spiritual and intellectual standing, but they are also to be admired for their financialal support of their church. I learn from a little phamplet published ever quarter by the trustees of the church that more then $4000 was raised in 1015. I don't know of another church in California with the same membership up to this standard, this money is raised as I understand, without giving socials or any other functions for help. The Sunday school is the greatest yet that I have had the pleasure to visit, from a standpoint of attendance and interest. The other auxiliaries compare favorably with the Sunday school. The pastor, Dr. J. M. Riddle, the pivot around which this church and its activities revolves, is a man equal to the occasion, for indeed he is the main spring of its development, ever alert and keeping before his people the pro- BRILLIANT!

Naturally gifted as an instructor and he does not fail bestow it upon those in his charge unselfishly Truly Friendship Baptist church ranks with the best churches of California regardless of race. I shall not soon forget the royal manner in which entrained me. Every comfort and necessity was lavished upon me. The meeting was a great success, there being nearly forty accesions. Wesley Chapel To many people last Sunday was the greatest day Wesley Chapel has seen in many a year. Three-hundred followers of Christ humbly bowed at the Alter and partook of the Holy Communion. At the 11 o'clock service, after a very strong appeal by Pastor Kinchen urging the young people to give themselves to God for any service, nearly one-hundred young people came forward and earnestly pledged themselves to be used by God in any way that He might lead them. Among this number were our splendid school teachers, physicians and business and other professional men and women. This was indeed a great thrill to the church and pastor. The No-Note Choir had its usual great service under iSster Pauline Brooks Daniels. The church was well filled at the evening service. Next Sunday at 11 o'clock a.m., Pastor Kinchen will preach on "Remembering Trifles but forgetting Fundamentals." The 10th anniversary of the Young Mens Christian Association will draw a great audience at 3:00. The evening service will be in charge of the No-Note Choir, lead by Sister Daniels and her great spiritual singers. No one should miss this great feast. Special Dispatch Los Angeles, April 3—The highest paid employees in the railway service have demanded a raise. They for $100,000,000 a year more than they are now getting, or a little more than $300 a year more per man. The railroads are not in such financial condition as to permit granting the demands, but the men are quoted as saying that unless these demands are met they will refuse to arbitrate and walk out. The situation is a serious one—serious for the railroads, for other railway employees and also equally serious for the public, as the public must ultimately pay the bill. This is the substance of a statement made by Vice-President and General Manager Scott of the Southern Pacific, concerning the action of the four railway brotherhoods in presenting higher wage demands to the railroads of the country. "The claim has been made," said Mr. Scott, "that the men want a day of 8 hours. This is not true. They do not want a shorter day, nor do they place any limit on the working hours. This is merely a question of punitive overtime. "They demand 10 hours pay for 8 hours work, with overtime paid after the eighth hour. They also demand 87 1-2 per cent more for overtime than the present rate This is in spite of the fact that they have already exacted the provision that if a man is called for duty and performs any service whatsoever—even though it be but for 15 minutes—he shall receive a full day's pay therfore. Just what this lit-exaction already mens to railroads may be gleaned from the fact that in one year 56 western roads paid out to engineers and firemen $1,403,038.74 for which no actua work was done. This payment was compulsory. "Should the brotherhoods strike the public would be vitally affected Southern California's crops could not be moved and this is but one instance of how the public would be affected by a tie-up of the railways of the country. The men asking the increase are already the highest poid of railway employees. They only constitute 18 per cent of the total number of railroad men, but they get 28 percent of total wages. "The average pay per man involved on the western roads is $1296 a year, this includes all engineers firemen, trainmen and conductors working full time or even part time. The average yearly salary of school teachers is less than $500, but if these railway employees, now averaging $1296 a year are given this $100,000,000 wage increase a year, every school teacher as well as other citizens will have to help pay it. They cannot avoid it for they are part of the American public. Mrs. Andersson Childress left Thursday morning for Victorville where she will reside. Certificate of Fictitious Name. We, George L.

Rozier (| “Blue” Washington, the former White Sox twirler, who with C. Woos was signed by Rube Fos- ter, pitched his first game for the Giants Friday, against the Port- land Pacific Coast League club, and more than that, he won it “blue” allowed five hits and two runs. | C. Woods wasn't as fortunate as his teammate in his first ap- pearance, but he proved that he is a pitcher under ordinary cir- cumstances. Wood was attacked by a fit. of stage-fright and walked 7 men, allowing only 3 hits. | The Y. M. C. A. is in for the best baseball season of its his- tory. At the first practice last Thursday twenty. candidates worked out, while there were still more out Wednesday. Both practices were ahndled by Capt. Lawrence Greene. _ Greene is the best selection the ‘boys could have made for captain of the “Y” baseball team and the fact that he was unanimously clected , proves that he was the choice of every fellow. | The YM. C. A. will have a ‘championship aggregation this year, that is, if our writer knows anything aboot baseball. Just take a slant at our line-up: Lott, Baker, catchers and first base; Roberts and Patterson, second base; Capt. Green, Short and nu- merous other stars. | The name of Baker speaks vol- umes to those who follow base- ball. Can you imagine a Negro drawing the Color line? That's just what the Hoegee Giants have done, absolutely refused to play the White Sox on the ground ‘that they are “outlaws.” | This reminds us of the old ad- age: “Any old excuse is better than none.” That Manual Arts lost to Poly because J. Baker wasn’t in the game is the opinion of everyone who witnessed the game last Monday. ‘Time after Time the white catcher missed the ball with men on bases and time after time a run would come in on this ac- count. Had Baker been catching there would not have been so many passed balls and consequently not so many runs. | Time after time the name of Baker rippled over the Manual bleachers which lets us know that prejudice is getting to be a thing of the past, at least out at Man- neal. k, = Page Five ~ Got A Job? | “We need Cooks, Waiters, Waitresses, Housemaids, Lad- | ies’ Maids, Porters, Laborers, Teamsters, Ete. | Elevator Men, Chauffeurs. : Central Avenue | Employment Office — Suite 8, Booker T, Washington Building 3 1018 1-2 Central Avenue 3 WM.

LADY;MANICURIST IN ATTENDANCE, {i SAN DIEGO DEPARTMENT HELLO! HELLO! Everybody keep your eyes open for the great Panama-California International Exposition boosters' special. We are coming to extend our gratitude to our fellow citizens throughout the state to our expoion. Leaves San Diego April 24. Stop at Los Angeles, Bakersfield, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, Barstow, San Bernardino, Redlands, Riverside and all intermediate towns. Band concerts, street parades, Spanish dancing, receptions and banquets will be staged, meet our train and get phamphlets of our wonderful city. We are accepting no financial aid, but defraying our own expenses, we want you to help us invite the world. Self Reliance God never intended that strong independent beings should be reared by clinging to others, like the ivy to the oak, for support. We as a race must learn to support ourselves, do something and not be dependent on the other race; for difficulties, hardships, doors closed, trials of life and the thousand other obstacles that our race has to encounter, should only make us that much more determined to do something for ourselves. The greatest curse that can befall a young man is to lean, while his character is forming, on others for support. He who begins with crutches generally ends with crutches. The oak that stands alone to contend with the tempest's blasts, only takes deeper root and stands firmer for ensuing conflicts; while the forest tree, when the woodsman's axe has spoiled its surroundings, aways, bends, and trembles and perchance uprooted, so it is with men. Those who are trained to self-reliance are ready to go out and contend in the sternest conflicts of life; while men who have always leaned for support on those around them, are never prepared to beat the storms of adversity that arise. The path of success in business is invariably the path of common sense; notwithstanding a.l that is said about "lucky hits," the best kind of success in every man's life is not that which comes by accident. The only 'good time coming' we are justified in hoping, is that which we are capable of making for ourselves. The wisest charity is to help a man to help himself. To put a man in the way of supporting himself gives him a new lease of life, for it is very many times all the sick man needs to restore him to perfect health A man's true position in life to society is that which he achieves for himself, as he builds for society in useful work, so he builds for himself. He is a man for what he does, not for what his father or friends have done Anything once started see to it that you carry, it thro; no matter if it does cost you the pleasure, the society, no matter for these; stick to the thing and carry it thro. Only once learn to carry a thing thro in all its completeness and proportion you will think better of yourself; others will think better of you. Drive right along then in whatever you undertake. Consider yourself amply sufficient for the deed and you will succeed. Mrs. C. E. Norwood. Katherine Interviewed Were you . ver a flirt? Did you ever think it wonderful to flirt, just in an innocent little old way, many girls do. These words were spoken by a friend of mine after we had sat watching a very pretty girl flirt with an elderly man. I laughed at my friend's remarks. Then I asked, do you not enjoy sitting here in the park, watching a wonderful flirtation like that. I "Flirting is insincere love, made for mere amusement," she answered with a smile. But listen, I will explain why flirting is wrong. I was very much peeved at her truthful answer. But I managed to get myself together, and listened. She began something like this: woman flirts with her winning smiles and with her very affectionate ways with one and perhaps a dozen men, but she never stops to think, she robs some man of his heart in a playful or innocent way and plays with it like a child plays with a toy. Then I laughed again, managing to get out a word now and then. I'd like to see you make a toy of some man's heart and play with it. You do not understand, she said, Toys have been made of men's hearts, but listen I am going to tell you about flirting. All that a man can say a thousand times and more is. I love you, his eyes speak, his very actions sperk the truth. He does not flirt if he loves. But a woman flirts on and on, just for for the fun of it, if you were to ask her. With her eyes masked with innocent smiles and her artless way and her mouth filled with sinful kisses and these men frequently fondle and praise, often worship her. Then she only knows him as her slave, then as her slave he wonders and thinks until he telis her the truth that dwells in his mind. This leads her to think she is, his benefactor then she bestows sweet favors of her youth and beauty upon him and yet she robs him, while she places him in debt. Elirts are worldly wise. They love to set men's hearts on fire and they take no risk at the passion game. But after a time a man wakes up and comes to himself again, then he holds uer at length until the silly flirt's heart takes fire, until she learns the art of true love. Then in his higher self he speaks the dreams that he has dreamt of woman, that she has helped him to destroy. He asks her how can he or any man have a happy life in days to come; after she, a flirt, steals his belief of woman. For all women to these men seem less [ya] and less worthy of man's faith. Then how can a woman who is not a flirt be made happy by one of those men who has lost faith in women. So, my friend, when you flirt, if you do not think of yourself; think of the girl who does not flirt. Try. Try Again If at first you don't succeed Why, try try again There is one that has not been caught Although she is on top Watching to catch the first hook Now look for there are hooks with crooks Ank crooks with hooks. That are floating near the top But if I should lose The world will look cold And all woman look old Before I try to fish again So be careful and don't lose For if I do you will be on shore And be old And people will say That I am cold Now I have known people Who were gray at five and twenty And at sixty and five the same So let me look and see if I can fish At forty and five. For if I do they will say That I succeeded and will not have To try, try, again. N. The City of Jerusalem extended a banquet to four prominent citi- of San Diego, three of whom are leading factors in the Masonic lodge; W. S. Saunders past grand lecturer of the state, H. J. Harris ```markdown ``` and C. M. Dickson of Fidelity lodge and E. B. White side, all had a very delightful evening. The So Different Trio, Richie Ross, Richie at Pantages last week met with hearty applause, the act was well taken. They were met by the manager of the Eagle and were his guests at the exposition. J. B. Bass, editor of the Eagle and H. Shannon, northern representative, were guests of our city. They are on their official tour of the state, while here they were quests of the business manager, M. T. Laws at the exposition. They were introduced to some of the leading men of the fair. Mr. Shannon will have to study calculations of valuations more a Russian cane he valued at $40; when found he could buy it for $8 he got cold feet. He valued a French rug at $500, was ifnformed that they were worth $100,000 each but could not be bought at any price a guard had to close the door in order to keep him from writing a personal check. He said he never appreciated our wonderful fair in the north until now and I shall sent for my wife so she can enjoy the things that we miss at our door. Harry Hall came in from the kelp factory to order an Eagle with tears streaming down his cheeks mourning for a person that had left for country. And I informed him that the good shepard David had killed Goliath. So he had better hasten that powder plant in order to be safe. The stork has visited the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Harris, its a boy, Mother and babe are doing well. Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Ramsey, brother G. A Ramsey concessionaire at the fair, arrived last week from Bakersfield to resume his duties at the Southern California building. A. M. Edwards, who has been employed by Baker' Chocolate Co. at the exposition, left last week for his home in Chicago, he regrets leaving our wonderful city. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Freeman who have been several weeks at their country home, made a silent retreat to their home in the city, but however the Eagle was there just the same to greet them on their return. The Carnation Club Literary Club met at Mt. Zion Baptist church, it was crowded with young people. The future debate "Fire and water" by four young ladies. The negative which was fire, won. The next meeting will be the 3rd Thursday in April instead of the 1st, in honor the sailors of the cruiser in the harbor. Subject "Observation and Reading." Presiding Elder J. H. Wilson, of the A.M.E. church, preached a rousing sermon Sundav, the church was crowded to its full capacity and the contributions were swelled far beyond expectations. Rev. T. Allen Harvey delivered a sermon directly from his heart in behalf of his church and its first progress, even though he had drawn his manuscript long before the arrival of the presiding elder it was cast aside as his observation had words to fill every nook and corner as the people sat spellbound. Monday he escorted the presiding elder to our great and wonderful fair. Mrs. Newman, who is in charge of the ladies rest room at the exposition, has been on the sick list; glad to know that she is much improved. Mrs. Marcetta, her daughter, has been in charge during her absence, she deserves credit for the way she psrformed her duty during her mother's absence. Miss Lilly Newman has returned from Oakland, where she has been visiting. Common Sense Thrift We believe that a man with money in the Bank is a better citizen than the otherwise would be.

The following clipped from the South ern Pacific Bulletin on awakening Pullman passengers who seure accommodations at night. At present there seems to qe no understanding between train and Pullman conductors relative to the awakening of passengers in Pullman cars who are to detrain late at night or early morning. This sometimes results in various complaints from passengers on account of being called too late or too early, and has been the cause sometimes of holding trains for passengers to finish dressing and get off. The Pullman Company furnishes its car employees with what is known as breakfast call call cards, and it is proposed that train conductors be given a duplicate of such card by the Pullman conductor. This will practically insure people in sleeping cars being called in time to detrain. Wherever train conductors have passengers in Pullman cars for points where they must leave the train at night they should see that Pullman employees are notified of the time this station will be reached in time for them to give the passenger the proper call.—From the Scrap book by J. D. Reynolds.

The company now owns 105 diners, 5 more than the Canadian railroad which is the nearest rival in America for the distinction, besides 42 Observation cars The diners cost in the neighborhood of $20,000 each. The company is vigorous in its demand for the most extreme sanitary conditions and cleanliuess on its diner system. Comparing the European waiter with the American waiter, assuming that the chief requisites in a waiter are that he shall be quick, clean and polite, it must be admitted that in the two first named virtues American table artists is second to none. The most important point upon which his supremacy is open to question, is that of politeness and even here our critic too often imagines that servility is an essential of civility. Accustomed to the bow, the scrape and the spineless deference of the European attendant, many travelers are painfully surprised to see the American waiter stand in an upright position, talk as if he had a soul of his own and generally comport himself; as though he were a Beautiful RUG Value $1 50 to $2.50, free to the first ten customers to purchase $10 worth of merchant dise today Free FREE birthday and a most enjoyable afternoon was spent by the guests who were Rev. and Mrs. J.
