Expressions of White and Colored Americans On Georgia's Attitude towards Negroes Volume 28 Kansas City, Kansas, Y. W. C. A., 900 8th, and Nebraska aves. The California Eagle—In the copy of July 10, is a reply to my inactivity, with the old worn out cry of racial defense and denominational membership. What is Membership? What is Membership? We note the claims of membership of Rev. M. Thomas for 19 years. Yet we heard him say in the Baptist State Convention in Oakland that last year on meeting that august body that "the banner from the poppy state was torn down thrice, after being put up by him. Furthermore we were not born a Baptist, but we are one from the principles of the gospel teachings and hope to follow the word of God in all things. Yet that does not deter us from stating some facts. We do not think. We know! And some of those students in school from Africa were placed on the ships by ourselves. We do not know of 57 schools. We know of some day schools. Some things I know. That the time of being fearful of the truth in the press is not detrimental to any race. Too long the race has stood in a corner with silence written on doors and lips. And the namby, pamby cries of hands off. I know our lawyers will give us a square deal. But one has the right to secure their own council. Second. The reason that a missionary in Africa did not send. the "resignation" from Africa was because these same missionaries, viz., the late Rev. Aino. Trule and wife, had sent the title deed of fifty acres of land in Rhodes given by the late Cecil Rhodes to the National Baptist of America to be signed and returned in 60 days, and if the board had returned said papers in that period Mr. Rhodes would have built a school and as he often put it, completed the other part of his great dream. And other papers of value that is the "Khulifi stuff" referred to in our resignation. That is why we brought it. Third. I know throughout the ages women have crossed from one country to another when about to become a mother, especially when great issues were at stake. Mary the mother of Jesus crossed from the northern part of Palestine to the southern section. That the Saviour of mankind might be born in the House of Bread. And if Rev. Mr. Thomas was of the Benedictine order He would know that the average mother is a busy person. Fourth. One does not need to be a "mind reader" to circulate a falsehood. For the satisfaction of the readers to know my church connection write Rev. R.E. Bradley, pastor of the Second church, Detroit, Michigan, or Mr. Frank Foster, 225 Garfield ave., church clerk, and the Baptist fear can be easily satisfied. While some of us are sitting around in obscure corners talking race and demination the souls of men are dying out of Christ in the home land and in foreign field the hosts of the untouched, unsaved millions in Africa and the Islands of the Sea who need the Son of Mary in their lives. I speak not as a novice nor one who does not know, but as one who has worked in Africa, in hunger, privation, separation, from home kindred and friends who has been in perils on sea, and land. Who has faced the wild beasts in their lair, and in the jungle, that she might have the privilege of telling the story of the Cross to Africa's millions. That the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley may bud and blossom in the hearts of the hosts in that far off land. In His name, Mrs. Mamie Branton Tule, Widow of the late Rev. Jno Tule, late of South Firica. The California Eagle HOME OF MR. AND MRS.

WALKER, COLORED BUSINESS WOMAN OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, GAINS INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION. The current issue of The Los Angeles Morning Sun, a newspaper published daily here in Los Angeles by the Japanese, carries Madam Walker's cut and considerable news matter of her work and worth to our Race. Among other things the Japanese of this country and abroad are told that the Negroes of America are making the most remarkable progress of any race in this country and that when they learn to have more confidence in their leaders there will be more occupation for them in the higher walks of life. The cordiality of the citizens of Los Angeles and neighboring towns has impressed Madam C. J. Walker to such an extent that she has decided to establish a winter home at her bungalow, 1449 West 35th Place. Madam Walker has renovated the bungalow and is fitting it up as a business office and residence for her two nieces. Misses Angetta and Mallie Briedlove, who arrive here from Denver, Colo., some time this week, to carry on the business that Madam Walker is establishing here. In an interview with Madam Walker the representative of this paper learned that already a number of our young women who listened to the interesting lecture at Wesley Chapel Sunday evening, have taken Madam Walker's advice and begun to take lessons of her in order that they may fit themselves to do efficient work for themselves and earn a living in much the same manner as Madam Walker has earned her living and recognition in the business world. Madam C. J. Walker repeated her illustrated lecture on the "Negro Women in Business." Thursday evening at Mt. Zion Baptist church, to a large and appreciative audience. The lecture was given under the auspices of the Allensworth Club, for the benefit of the Day Nursery Association. beautiful in floral decoration while the ladies of the club followed suite with their beautiful gowns that toned in color and scheme. President Johnson in his usual pleasing manner welcomed the visitors, while both Drs. Wilson and Kealing responded with outbursts of enthusiasm, expressing their pleasure in being so royally entertained and their hearty appreciation for the real race progress being made by the ex-Kansas-Missouri contingency in this section. ```markdown ``` Editor California Eagle: The white and Colored people of Los Angeles and of the coast and nation wherever the great Los Angeles Daily Times circulates, have read with interest the Sunday morning publication of an interview with ex-Governor Siaton of Georgia, and in many cases opinions were formed both pro, and con with regard to the innocence or guilt of Leo Frank who was tried by the courts of law and whose case was reviewed by all the higher legal authorities of the state and nation, we do not charge guilt or innocence on the part of any one, we must accept the verdict of the court as to the part played in the death of the little Fagan girl. We do not feel to enter into that side of the case as we are too far removed from the scene of the crime. Murder is as barbarous as is the lynching of any man and cannot be justified. I am a Georgian and held citizenship in that state for 40 years. I know something of the white people that state and do not hesitate to say that among its white people there are to be found some of the best of creation, they are not all murderers and lynchers, but for the most part they are of kindly feeling toward the Negro race. Mob violence is never committed by the better class, the men who usually murder our people are the ignorant, trifling undesirable class of white men, you must know that the white people of the south have ever been the well wisher of the Negro by the progress he has encouraged the Negro to make right upon the very ground upon which he had been held in bondage. In the office of Governor of that state there has presided some of the best men that history has ever given account. Joseph E. Brown, the war governor, was a high class man who did not depend on the abuse of the Negro people to hold office; Alexander Stevens, high a Georgian to stoop to any the great Commoner, was too thing low. General John B. Gordon, the peer of them all, was the finest representative of statesmanship and a state executor of any of --- the states north or south. Alfred E. Colquit, H. Y. Atkinson, Gov. Northern, all men of the very highest type, by this I do not intend to convey the idea that they had no prejudices for they were loyal to their own first but treated with fairness and justice all men without regard to race in the discharge of their duties as chief executors of the great state of Georgia, the law of the states are made by the legislative bodies and it is the duty of the executive to enforce the law as given to him by the people. There were times when we have felt that the administration of the law was applied with a heavier hand when the violator was a Negro than in similar cases when the victim was a white man, and hence we do not intend to make a word picture, that every thing goes all right in the good old state of Georgia all the time in dealing with the Negro before the Courts, but we do mean to say that where there appear mitigating circumstances the courts always lend consideration be the criminal white or black, when a Negro is brought before the court in Georgia he is addressed by the Bench and Bar as Bill or Tom and not as Mr. Baker or Mr. Thomas, the Southern white man hardly ever calls a Negro Mister, but he will do the Negro a personal favor a thousand times quicker than the people in the sections that call him Mister, etc. Hence the rapid progress of the Negro race in the Southern states. All of its down South are not good citizens either. We have all the kinds that you find right here in this city and there are more of them and the bad is seen first all the time, but we are coming, education, commercialism and religion are the factors that are at work in our uplift. I have mentioned a few of the very important phases of the relation of the races and pointed out some of the representative men of the white race to show that the impression attempted to be made by Governor Slaton as to the Negro in connection with the death of the little Fagan girl is unsound and unreasonable and that none of the men mentioned as having served the state as Governor would have offered such an apology for the communication of the sentence of any man as has this one. Governor Slaton was a lawyer by profession, he has told the press and people of the long years of continued service he rendered the people in the law making body of the state, some of which laws have seemed for his to have been made for the special purpose of railroading the Negro youths to the state prisons such as the contract farm hand law which put the Negro practically into slavery of the man he worked for and who directed his going and coming as the master would the slave, but the men before Mr. Slaton would not attempt to reflect upon a murderers in the face of the many reviews of the case by the highest tribunals of the state, not one of them ever found where the Negro Connaly (Slaton's niger) was guilty, and don't all people know that since Negro life and liberty is considered so cheap by southern sentiment, that if there had been the least appearance of the guilt of the Colored man that these southern jurists would not have been blind to the fact. No, never, a thousand times no, and no one knows that truth better than Mr. Slaton. Yes, from a Colored man's point of view Mr. Slaton has not acted fair to the Negro race when he attempts to lay the murder of this little innocent child at the door of the Negro. It is not a manly independent act of a big southerner. All the We are not considering the right or wrong of the action in committing the prisoner's sentence; we do not take stock in that phase of the case the governor has a right to do his duty as he sees it, the people expect this, but we do take exceptions to his saying that the "nigger" was the murderer, to get himself to the place to say this after urging for the many years of his professional life the majesty of that law which he now tramples under his feet with the poor sickly excuse of charging the offense to a legally innocent man who he is pleased to call a "nigger." Let us hope that none of the people, white or black, will be influenced by the habblings of this sick man from Georgia. F. H. CRUMBLY held here on last Thursday evening at Hamilton Auditorium in Oakland. The Race people of Oakland have been very much depressed over the fact that in spite of all the protesting and everything else to prevent its appearance and the elimination of objectional features. The Clansman played for over eight ten weeks in San Francisco. Rev. Jessie Peck, realizing that something must be done to counteract its depressing effect on our people and the public, decided that one of the very best things to do would be to give a high class concert, one that would attract the other race as well as make us happy. Acting upon that thought he wrote to Robert G. Jackson, head of the department of music in Western University, and he trained a chorus of one hundred and twenty-five of the best voices around the bay cities. He also had an orchestra of twelve pieces and the support of such well known soloists as Mrs. Virginia-Moor-Hughes, the Excelsior quartet and Mrs. Pearl Lowry Winters of Bakersfield. Professor Jackson has a very delightful and pleasing manner that won almost instantly the confidence and respect of the singers. For two weeks he held nightly rehearsals and when he presented his program there was fully seven hundred people in their seats, after the singing of the first number the waiting crowd was so great they were compelled to wait until they were sealed by actual count, including the crowd, very neat, a thousand people heard the concert in the Auditorium. Among that number were music directors and music teachers from the other race in large numbers. The program was mixed with plantation melodies from such well known race writers as Will Marion Cook and Carl Deet and others. The classical part of the same included selections from Beethoven's "Hallelujah," and "The Rosary from Nevins and also selection from Samson and Delilah. The reaction of this program was faintless. Prof. Jackson is a master in directing and trailing in the art of music; everyone was in ecstasy over his work as well as the delightful singing of the chorus. There was one number that I must make more than a mere mention of and that was the solo rendered by Pearl Lowry Winters. She never sang in (Continued on page 4) 1. MRS. LEWIS In her Inner Belt and Arrow zone San Francisco Section They are however singing that it is a long ways to Tipperary. The campaign is now reaching the boiling point. It looks like Semitz against the field. If you play with a skunk you will not only get black on you, but his odor as well. Feed a snake, wake him up, like the reptile he is, he will turn on you if he can. In this city it can be said that politics is at least making strange bed fellows. We have no idea to lend dignity or to even advertise those without character or standing at home or abroad. We shall be heard from in the pending campaign along the lines of what will be the best interest of the masses of the people. If we do that we will have the satisfaction of feeling that we have performed a service worth while. Some men even of this day are so, vile, so low, so characterless, that they have no appreciation of gratitude or of anything else than an inordinate desire to film flam and when called to account, they have no defence except to study up some fantastic imagination which they themselves or nobody else believes. THE CARNIVAL OF CRIME The South is having again the reign of the Kln Khnx; while the people of the North, and right here in Los Angeles, are seemingly entranced with Thomas Dixon's huge spectacle of wholesale murderers. In the daily Examiner, the day following the slaying of the convicted slaver, Frank, there were nearly four solid pages of print depicting the work of the lynchers. In the same paper there was but barely an inch reserved to tell of an aged Negro charged with the assault of a white woman, filled with shot by a hand of chivalric (7) "clansmen" of Georgia. And the day following Thursday, in the same paper, appears a mere notice of the lynching—a modern name for murder—of three Negro young men who had been charged with poisoning mules and exonerated. This last was in Alabama. All men who have red blood in their veins must deep regret the mob-murder of Frank, and every well-thinking Georgian of whatever race or color, must also feel keenly the new disgrace put on their state. But this is nothing new to Georgia. She has been permitting her citizens to be mob-murdered for several decades without forbible protest. The Mayor of Atlanta, now in California, predicts that should ex-Governor Slaton return to Georgia within a year, he too, would be mob-murdered. What of it? Georgia has been disgressing itself regularly, as regularly as its good(?) citizens can get their bloody hands on any Negro charged with all manner of crime, untried and unconvicted. The murder of Slaton would add but sauce to the gander. The press informs us that mothers, with tender babies in their arms, and little children by the hand, viewed with a sort of religious joy, the unclad body of Frank swinging from a tree. What of it? Clunes' Auditorium is thronged each day with all sorts of cultured people applauding the glorification of mub-murder! One admirer of this sort of bloody work, wildly enthusiastic over the new record, comments that in the balmiest days of the ku klux clansmen and "night riders," nothing equalled the business-like precision of the "orderly" mob of twenty-five who mob-murdered Leo Frank. How the Georgians are progressing! Why not? Mr. Griffith and Thomas Dixon are conducting a day and evening school to teach all who will pay the price, how easy it is to "lych," how gracefully it can be done, and what wonderful maneuvering it admits of. Go to Clunes, as the writer of these lines has done, and see the adi- ence greet the battle scenes of this picture with a sort of a dull apathy, but wait until the Klux Klux make their appearance, then comes tumultuous applause, a sort of hilarious happiness. For fifty years the Negro has been the target, the inconsequential Negro-practice puppet; the mob-murderer now is out gunning for bigger game—and he is getting it. He has still his "day and evening school" at Clunes' Auditorium and other picture show-houses in this country. And why not have a Jew for a public holiday? Why not have a Governor? By and by, the lynchers may turn loose on themselves. Who knows, and why not? And—who cares? WILLIAM EASTON. FOR POLICE JUDGE Judge Oppenheim', who has for the past two years presided on the bench of the police court of San Francisco, has made an en- viable record for dealing out even handed justice, and the common people who have oftimes been denied justice have come into their own. Judge Oppenheim knows no class nor creed. He seeks in his high position to deal justly with all, and if he errs to do so on the side of mercy. This being true it accounts for the hearty and almost unanimous support which he is receiving from all classes and it is almost a foregone conclusion that he will be triumphantly elected at the primaries on Sept. 28th. THOMAS H. FINN FOR SHERIFF The Colored voters in rallying to the support of Tom Finn for sheriff, are simply standing by a man who has done more for them than any other man in public life in the state of California. Therefore it is indeed good fortune that they at this time have the opportunity to show their appreciation for the efforts which he has made in their behalf. He has served the people in this capacity and his past record speaks for itself. Aside from this as State Senator he has done much, especially for our people. In defeating the segregation measure in the last session of the legislature he was a potent factor, and the recognition which has been given by way of patronage he has also been the keystone. So therefore in supporting Finn for Sheriff it is a case of standing by the man who has been our consistent friend. R·B 5 CIGAR FICKERT FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY The people of all classes can well afford to support Cias. M. Fickert to retain the position of district attorney, for the reason that this office has been so satisfactorily conducted under his regime as to merit the approval of the people of all classes and of all parties. The common people have in that office at this time a man who is considerate of their interests. The Colored people are giving his candidacy a strong support, several of their organizations having already given him their endorsement. This is probably the most important office to be filled as a result of the coming primary and election and it therefore behoves the people to look well that they retain Mr. Fickert, who has so satisfactorily filled that position for the past four years, who has been an official for the people, and if re-elected will be in a better position than ever from his varied and ripe experience to serve the people of San Francisco in the important position of District Attorney.

Correspondence, please take NEGRO AND EDUCATION ATLANTA CONSTITUTION—The thinking people of Georgia will receive with satisfaction the information that the result of their protest has brought about the virtual defeat of the bill passed by the Senate last week to make it a crime for a white man to teach a Negro in Georgia. It is stated that the bill has no chance of passage by the House. Georgia in this period of her progress cannot afford to consider even the hint of a policy that would record her as indifferent to the doctrine of the Great Teacher who admonished, "Go teach ye the gospel to all men"—the gospel which stands for the Christian civilization of all men regardless of race or color, and the influence of which has been so strongly felt by the Negro population in their recent racial evolution. WHAT'S IT OF WATTS A. A. King of the metropolis of Watts on the small, very small scale an imitation of Elder of the L. A. I. C. iame, has suddenly jumped into the lime-light. He has written himself into fame. He scooped the wireless information more or less true about the European war which each day appears in the daily papers, and had inoffensive newsboys crying out what purported to be an extra edition of this paper. Brother King may be able to beat Ananias, Eli Perkins or Baron Munchausen, but he is a very poor financier. He printed himself from a newspaper office a little measly 5-column four-page paper, of a very sickly jauniced color, loaded down with "boiler-plate," about three columns of taked wireless reports of a dreadful annihilation of the English Navy, brought out an edition of but two thousand copies, sold them to newsboys in Los Angeles at ONE-HALF cent per copy. For this extraordinary effort he received but ten dollars gross, and it is learned that he is still groaning in his agony because he is still seven dollars out of the pocket. But what could you expect if you only knew Mr. King? It seems that two years ago he aspired to be a trustee of the city of Wets and Drys, of Casino and cranks, of re-calls and fleas, and he started into his campaign by coming to Los Angeles, hiring a touring car, engaging three lady canvassers, regardless of expense, fortifying this entourage with several pints of peanuts, two boxes of cigars and a hall bushel of popcorn. The polling places of Watts were visited, and at the close of the closing of the polls, Mr. King was really elated when he learned his total vote was TWO. Brother King should be arrested and the contents of his cranium examined. BILL ANGELENO. 1 Read the bold headlines and ponders. Count the bannacles and you'll be.

She has a rich voice full of expression, her phrasing and sustaining notes carried the house by storm. At the conclusion of the program Mr. Ricks, who writes good verse and was also a member of the chorus, had several hundred cards printed with one verse of "I Love You, California," and for the chorus he had written as an invitation to Professor Jackson to make California his home. They had asked the director to allow the regular chorister of the Fifteenth street choir to direct them in the singing of this piece and when they sang the chorus they gave the chautauqua salute to the Professor. It was a gala night and one never to be forgotten by the Colored people of Oakland. The entire chorus afterwards sang in the Civic Auditorium of San Francisco first time from people and also in one of the white churches on Sunday in Oakland.

The idea was put in action and many of my friends responded, for which I am not forgetful. The little fund realized on this occasion has been carefully laid away and I am constantly adding to it.

On Advertising The successful business man safs it pays to advertise. All corporations advertise; large and small business firms that expect a profit advertise. The man that advertises says it pays. The man that does not advertise says it does not pay, or business is dull and he cannot afford it; the wise man says he never can afford it as business will always be dull if he never advertises. The man that dvertises himself will some day have a chance to represent the people. The man that does not advertise himself can only represent himself. The wise business man says it pays to advertise. A brilliant lecture was rendered last tuesday night, august 31st, at the Bethel A. M.

New Hope Baptist Church. In spite of the extreme heat last Sunday the New Hope Baptist was well attended Pastor Anderson occupied the pulpit; he used for his subject "Lord remember me when thou comest into the Kingdom." Luke 23-42. Pastor Anderson preached an able sermon at this service. Mr. W. B. Brooks rendered a gospel song at the evening service. Pastor Anderson preached a masterly sermon. His subject "And the Eunuch said see here is water what doth hinder us to be baptized." Acts 8-36.

Those who were absent missed two delightful sermons by elder D. L. McMickens and brother Garfield Coleman. Mr. J. W. Wesley of ave., is suffering with result from some insult. Mr. D. C. Clemons list this week with a fresno. Friends of mr. s Fresno. Elder McMickens delivered the morning sermon on "The Value and Power of Enthusiasm." Acts 20th chapter. He said: "enthusiasm is essential to success along all lines, it brings our mind to our own work and is of interest to all Christians. All of us should glorify in something and then strive with all our might to reach the very height of that in which we glorify. Nothing is more contagious than enthusiasm; and we all need more of it. The word enthusiasm does not occur in the New Testament at all, but instead it is called zeal and courage. He closed by warning us of losing our enthusiasm and advising all to be faithful, loyal and true, so as to be prepared to meet aur. God whenever he sees fit to call us to our reward. Brother Garfield Coleman delivered the evening sermon, on "Faith in God as Shown by Shadarick, Meshack and Obednego and Daniel." He impressed the thought that these first three men hod so much faith in the true and living God that they failed to bow down to Hezekiah's idol gods at the cost of their owe lives, and when about to be burned to death in the fiery furnace into which they were cast for the violation of the King's decree, Jesus came into the midst and suffered not a hair of their head to be singed. Daniel and every one in Babylon were forbidden to pray to the true God. Any one violating this law was to be cast into the lion's den, which meant instant death. Daniel being a consecrated servant of the true and living God prayed three times a day as usual. Through jealousy and rage the sinful people of Babylon made this report to King Nebuchadnezer and for this Daniel paid the penalty stated above, but instead of being torn in pieces as was supposed he was unharmed after remaining in the lion's den all night. He closed by stating that God is just as able to save today as he was in the olden days. The rally planned for the second Sunday in September will be held without fail and all are asked to be ready to report at that time. Visitors are welcome at all times.
