INTOLERANCE
D. W. Griffith, Producer of the Clansman, Forgiven For the past two weeks there has been flashed on the curtain at Clune's Auditorium a picture entitled "Intolerance, or the Mother and the Law."
The Picture
In response to a shrill bugle call the great curtain at Clune's rolls up slowly, very slowly. There appears a Colonial and Grecian type cradle. At the head of the cradle a fair lady sits and rocks. The cradle represents evolution while the hand that rocks is the spirit of the age in question. The picture represents three distinct periods of history, each as it were a story told in vivid picture language. The first rock of the cradle brings forth a typical Western city with its immense factories and mills, the inner life of these great industries depicting the great war in process between labor and capital, while the second rock flashes a similar period of French history when Charles IX. was king, but better known by students of history as the reign of that strong but wicked character, Catherine de Medici, ot France, and the third rock runs backward over centuries and epochs into that ancient, but again similar, period of history wwhen Belshazza ruled over beautiful Babylonia.
Each of these periods beautifully contrasted, shows in the main that we of today are heirs of the civilization of our forefathers of yesterday, even back to the very beginning, and that the greatest war that is being waged, and has ever been waged, is Love against Selfishness.
The picture not only demonstrates the wonderful inventive mind of the picture producer of Thomas Dickson's "Clansman" but clearly shows that D. W. Griffith stands out above them all as the greatest humanitarian of the age; for no mind could make such a clear appeal for justice unless the whole soul was involved in the propaganda.
The Afro-American critics who have seen "Intolerance" believe now that had Mr. Griffith realized that that picture production of the "Clansman" would have had a tendency to prejudice the minds of so many people of the White race against the struggling Blacks of this country, only 53 years up from slavery, he would never have produced it.
As a race we believe that "Intolerance" will do much to abate the prejudicial feeling created by the "Clansman." At Clune's, where "Intolerance" is being shown, and at other play houses where petty prejudice is practiced against members of the Afro-American race, we hope that "Intolerance" will teach its first great lesson of "Love." C. A. S.
THE NEW MARRIAGE
As was announced in our columns and others of the city, last Sunday afternoon the Providence Institutional Baptist church was given in wedlock to the St. Paul Baptist church, hence there is no more Providence Baptist, but a greater and bigger St. Paul.
We were pleased to note that the entire affair was harmonious. All of the Baptist ministers of the city were present to endorse the movement, which in fact is called by the Baptists of this section as a great step towards true Christian unity.
A committee of seven was appointed to call a pastor—at least two months having been meeting-

BLACK POPULATION
IS FAST INCREASING
Large Number of Negroes Coming to Liverpool from America and Africa
Liverpool, Nov. 11—(Correspondence of Associated Press)—Liverpool is becoming conscious of a remarkable growth in its black population. The negroes are coming from the west coast of Africa and from America. A striking feature of the invasion is that the blacks, so numerous on the city streets, generally are arrayed in garments of the latest cuts and hues. The color schemes usually are rather loud, the negroes from Africa vicing with those from the United States in a riot of checks, stripes, vivid neckties, lurid hose and bright yellow shoes.
At first this invasion puzzled the authorites here, but a little investigation tended to solve at least a part of the mystery. The bulk of the blacks it seems have been recruited on the west coast to work as firemen on steamers whose white crews presumably have become reduced through the war. They are not all seafarers, however, for many appear to have signed for one trip only and have obtained employment in the short-handed factories at lucrative wages. This is particularly true of the American negroes, many of whom have come over as muleteers or other workers on ships in the American trade.
The West Africans speak English, of course, but not very fluently. The American negroes being quite gib of tongue, are more interesting to the Liverpool street crowds. The American blacks do not go to all the extremes of dress affected by the Africans, who in their new found wealth and European surroundings have proved profitable customers to the cheaper class or tailors.
The annihilation and devastation of the best and able-bodied men of Europe, caused by the war and disease, and the great stampede by the native African men to Europe, recalls the prediction that amalgamation was inevitable as Africa would be the only country to meet the demand.
PROGRESS AND THE NEGRO
Detroit Free Press: It takes years for great movements to produce visible results. In the South a gregarious, pleasure-loving, improvident race has seemed to be but slightly affected by the economic and industrial changes of the time. The negro has been the unskilled laborer, the poor tenant farmer, raising his bale or two of cotton and turning it over to the local buyer in liquidation of his debt for the year's living expenses. The teachings of institutions like Tuskegee, Calhoun, and Hampton are producing a class trained in trades, efficiency and initiative, whose influence is a leaven slowly permeating the mass for industrial uplift and awakening in the negro a sense of his economic value. The labor shortage has been an advantage to him. Seven thousand negroes applied to the Federal Department of Labor last year in regard to opportunities for employment; testimony to the spread of industrial education. (From the Scrap Book, by J. D.
Dr. and Mrs. Wilbur C. Gordon, East Washington street gave a dinner Tuesday evening of this week, in honor of their twelfth wedding anniversary. The markets of the city were searched for delicacies and the collation which was served in seven courses was a masterpiece of culinary art. The Dr. presented his wife with a beautiful silver mesh bag. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Stevens, Mr. and Mrs. Brown Keley, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. Cal. Gordon, Mrs. Emma Williams and W. O. Tyler were at table with "mine hosts" and having enjoyed the dinner and extended the Dr. and Mrs. Gordon their hearty congratulations, the evening was concluded at the whist table.

Part III was characterized with a feature of no little degree of appreciation—the ladies of the Club, with a very unique arrangement of the guests and recipients of honor served, with other delicacies brick cream in the Club's colors.

THEY SAY THAT JOHN-
Because it seems that California has gone wildly and madly Democratic they say that Johnson did it. Now, my friends, it may be that my political vision is dim, for I certainly can't see it that way. I heard the governor upon at least two occasions during the campaign, and upon both of these his plea for Hughes and Fairbanks was both strong and sincere.
I am not a Progressive, never have been, but I have been and am now strong for Johnson, even though he signed the Full Crew bill, for I believe that in so doing his intentions were not to discriminate against the colored people, but to entirely do away with the old system and start a new regime, by which all people, slowly but eventually, would be benefited.

The Executive Board of the Western Baptist District convention meet at the residence of the president, Mrs. L. L. Moore, 746 Crocker street, last Saturday afternoon and arranged for the quarterly meeting to be held at the Tabernacle Baptist Church.
A CLASSY RECEPTION IN HONOR OF MRS. CLARA C. HULBERT, DR. W. C. GORDON AND THE HIAWATHA CHORUS
On last Thursday evening, Nov. 9th, at the People's Auditorium the Allensworth Literary & Industrial Club received in honor of Mrs. Clara C. Hulbert, Dr. W. C. Gordon and members of the Hiawatha Chorus. The reception was an expression marked with a reciprocal nature of gratitude for the sacrifice and labor each of the recipients of honor gave in the Hiawatha Wedding Feast in making it so remarkable successful and the grandest affair ever staged in the West by our representative colored talent, during the month of September.
The program for the evening was characterized with the most desirable features of joy and inspiration. Part I of the program was as follows: Selection by the chorus, address by Attorney C. A. Jones, violin selection by Harvey Patton, accompanied with the piano by his sister, Miss Patton; vocal duet, Miss Brown and Mrs. F. B. Murray; piano selection by Mme. Lillian Jeter Davis; vocal, Mrs. Gussie Bacon.
Part III was the Grand March, led by Prof. C, A. Biggers and Miss Lavena Hickman, the same was conducted in the latest style. One hundred and fifty persons were in the Grand March, and by the "Music Pause" method, with the change of partners at each
from 6 to 7. Sabbath school at 9:30. This department is improving nicely under the leadership of Supt. D. J. Lee. Dr. Kinchen occupied his pulpit at the 11 o'clock services, taking as his subject, "Grace," using the benediction, "Now may the grace of God remain with you now, henceforth and forever. Amen." Everyone present seemed to receive a spiritual blessing and many were heard to say that they had never seen so much in the benediction before. The Holy Sacrament was given to many earnest worshipers who gathered about the altar. The evening services were inspiring. The Bible class, led by Sister Wilson, commenced at the usual hour, 6:30 to 7:15. All who attend this service receive a spiritual uplift.
Immediately following this service came the Epworth League with Mr. Bragg, chairman; Mrs. Taylor, Literary Secretary, and Miss Oberzine Lee. Corresponding Secretary. A splendid program was rendered. At 7:45 the usual evening services began with Dr. Kinchen in his pulpit. Every auxiliary of the church has taken new life and are working together as one big family. Mrs. Bertha L.

The coming of Rev. Robeson to the pastorate of the A. M. E. Zion church of this city seems to have added a strong factor to the very able galaxy of ministers of the city.
Rev. Robeson is but a young man in the ministry, but his conception of things, and his very
REV. B. C. ROBESON
efficient training seems to have especially fitted him for the work intrusted to his care in this city. Our impression is that he is a powerful young preacher, able, out of his knowledge of psychology, to fit his texts to his people and handle them for the people's spiritual edification and enlightenment. The Eagle extends to this young preacher a warm welcome and urges the people of the Zion connection to give him their hearty support.
BEACH RESORTS MUST
NOT DISCRIMINATE
Justice Shannon of Sawtelle on Monday of this week rendered a decision in the case of Mrs. J. Columbus vs. La Petite Theatre Company, in which Mrs. Columbus sought damages for discrimination in the company's moving picture theatre on Ocean Front avenue, Santa Monica. The judgment is for $50.00 and costs, the amount demanded by Mrs. Columbus.
Attorney E. Burton Ceruti who represented Mrs. Columbus, said in connection with this case.
"This decision is another stone in the foundation on which rests our confidence in the courts generally and in Justice Shannon of Sawtelle particularly."
"The Justice allowed the full amount prayer for in the plaintiff's complaint. This amount was small—in fact, the minimum sum allowed by law. Unless the circumstances are aggravated or there be substantial damages incurred, no excessive or speculative judgment should be sought in these cases.
"It is not proper that we should endeavor to make capital of these offenses. An insult, an attack upon our honor or dignity cannot be measured in dollars and cents; money does not heal such a wound. The end or aim of these actions is to stop the discrimination, to convince the wrong-doers that the law can and will be enforced. This can be just as effectively accomplished with small judgments as with large ones, the compelling force lies in the certainty with which such offenses will be punished. "Mrs. Columbus is to be com

FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH
Pico and Paloma Sts.
Rev. B. C. Robeson, Pastor
There has been a new and enlarged interest in Zion since the coming of its new pastor. His sermons are a revelation to even the old-time church goers. It is presumed that some of this enthusiasm is aroused because of his not having to be aided in his sermons by the use of manuscript, as one said: "No he doesn't use any paper in the pulpit."
Quite a few visiting church members attended services last Sunday to hear one of the ablest sermons preached in Los Angeles regardless of churches. Next Sunday will be bench filling day. We intend to fill every bench in the church. You come to help swell the crowd. Subject at the morning service, 11 o'clock will be "The Greatest Sight to Be Seen on Earth." Evening service, 8 o'clock "The Slow Moving God." Remember Sunday School.
Ward A.M.E. Church Notes

Dr. McKinney has joined hands with us and will be on hand throughout the entire meeting. All the pastors and ministers in the city are invited to come and assist in this work of souleaving.

Phillips' Chapel C.M.E. Church
1406 Newton St.
Services last Sunday were large ly attended and enjoyed by all present. The pastor preached at the morning service and Evangelist Cuddy preached at night. His sermon being somewhat unusual was very interesting to all who heard it. One of the best meetings of the year was had by the Epworth League. The discussion of the topic was participated in by a large number of young people and was very helpful to all. Those who do not avail themselves of the opportunity of attending these meetings are missing a spiritual treat. The ladies of board No. 2 are giving a house social at the hom of Mrs. Mary Skillman on Tuesday evening, the 21st and are expecting a large attendance of the membership and friends of the church as the proceeds are to be applied on the purchase of an orgas.

probably tides tis tra
thought on this Subject, while al
lowing the common people “tc
think that he believes in a hell oi
could not believe that Mr. Sunday
or any other intelligent man oj
our day really believes tiis in
vention of the Dark Ages, which
antagonizes the Bible as well as
common sense.
Mr. Sunday and ‘all other
Preachers’ who realize the fallacy
of this great. “doctrine of devils”
(1 Timothy 4:1) owe it to the
people, who trust them and who
make up their collections, to tell
them the, truth. More than. this
y Owe it to God that this foul
denounced. They owe it to
themselves as men to stand for
and speak out the truth and to
assist in opesing the eyes of the
poor, deluded worid.
The pastor hopes that Mr. Sun-
day will yet realize that no one
can long maintain a moral stand-
ard higher than that which he at-
tributes to his God. The injus-
tice and persecution of centuries
is largely attributable to the false
doctrines which represent the
Creator asa demon who unjustly
and unlovingly created our, race
with the knowledge and intention
that 999 out of every 1000 would
endure an eternity of torture.
Heaven, Hell and Purgatory
‘The theory that Christians only
are saved from eternal torture
has had much to do with the er-
ror of counting all civilized peo-
plé Christians. The creeds save
Christians jonly—Jews, Moham-
medans, heathen, all go to hell to
roast eternally. Roman Catholics
provide a second chance fo: mem-
bers of their church, in purgatory,
and many Protestants hold to a
second chance for the heathen
who have never heard of Christ.
All the while, however, the Bible
declares for only one chance, but
that a iull one for every member
of the human family.
The'only chance offered during
this Gospel age is the opportun-
ity of becoming a member of the
church—a true follower of Jesus.
Such are to get the heavenly] in-
heritance, but‘ot until the res-
urrection. The remainder of the
world will be offered an earthly
future: and this offer will begin
with the establishment of ,Mes-
sjah’s kingdom of a thousand
years. ‘
The ‘Bible nowhere teaches
hat either saints or sinners pass
0 a conscious condition 'at death.
[he Bible declares that they ail
sleep.” and that the awakening?
ime will be at the second coming.
f the Redeemer to establish His:
ingdom. The first resurrection™
will be*the church, and subse-
uently “every man in his own
der.” When once the fact is
tasped that the Bible hell is the
tave—Sheol, Hades—then all is
lain. i |
The great “divinely arranged]
argatory, to- last a thousand|
ears, will be glorious. All the
eathen and'the ignorant, super-
titious millions, of Christendom,
vho were taught to call them-
elves Christians, but who knew
hat they were not, will have the
portunity of coming to a know-
edge of the true God and of His
racious provision for them.
We must all realize that preach-
ng is no mere display, but is a
ore battle with the hard hearts
f their congregation in which the
ospel is preached at a supreme
ost to himself. And conscious
hat he must summon to his des-
erate task every resource of feel-
ng and awe to reach the purpose
i converting his sinful congrega-
jon, such’ preaching has never
ailed ot bring out-the desired ef-
ects. °
From the Scran Book. by T. D.
PASTOR RUSSELL’S CAN-
DID VIEW OF “BILLY”
SUNDAY. SAYS “BILLY”
IS UNIQUE—HIS VIRTUES
AND FAULTS.
God and man dishonored by
false doctrines which preachers
do not believe—iake pseaching
abominable to God—instilling su-
perstitious fears a crime—ii the
Bible does teach that eternal tor-
ture is the fate of all except the
Saints, it should be preached, yea,
thundered, weekly, daily, hourly
—it it does not so teach, the fact
should be made known and the
foul stain dishonoring to God's
holy name removed.
Some of “Billy” Sunday’s Faults
The pastor said that if the re-
ports that “Billy” prayed to God
most irreverently, and addressed
the Redeemer. as “Old Pal,” were
true, then “Billy's” infiuence on
the public would lead on in the
direction in which the world is
now rapidly moving anyway—to-
ward irreverence. _He hoped that
“Billy” would become more rev-
erent, and believes that this re-
sult would follow a better know-
ledge of God. He could scarcely
reconcile with honesty Billy’s at-
tempt to tie up all the souls he
saved, in the. churches: which he
declared were. cold storage plants
leading down to hell. He wished
that “Billy” would reconcile these
opposites. s
He was pleased to note that
“Billy” Sunday’s last ‘sermon in
each place was usually on the sec-
ond coming of Christ; and that
“Billy” apparently recognizes the
present and last stage of the
church, typified in Laodicea. This
caused him all the more to won-
der why “Billy” would help peo-
ple into the Laodicean’ church,
which the Bible styles Babylon,
and declares that God spues out
of His mouth. (Revelation 3:16).
Next Sunday the’ pastor will! dis-
cuss the second coming of Christ,
viewing that great event and
Messiah's Kingdom fromm a some-
what different angle from Billy’s.
(Copy of Pastor Russell’s sermon
ill be sent free on request. Ad-
ress this office—Editor.)
The pastor declared that it
es his blood boil ‘with right-
indignation to find Billy’s
ching a practical indorse-

A resume of the Colored vote in
that vote is very, very wet at all time
We are tightening up all along
years of Wilson and hard times.
A resume of the Colored vote in the Black belt shows that
that vote is very, very wet at all times.
We are tightening up all along the line to iace four more
years of Wilson and hard times.
But Why cry over spilled milk?_ Let's be on our way, make
the best of a bitter reverse and line up for 1920 for a most
glorious victory.
Mistakes of omission and commission no doubt were made
by all, but to try and saddle the loss of this state on Gov. John-
son is ridiculous as well as absurd. .
To obviate the dark days we see ahead through our polit-
ical horoscope, we did our best: Angels could do no more.
li the Jeather lunged alibi makers had spent more of their
time fighting Wilson instead of Hiram Johnson and abusing the
Progressives they could now be singing the songs of rejoicing
and triumph.
The Union labor leaders headed by Sam Gompers now in
session at Baltimore are growing solicitous as to the welfare of
the Colored laborer in the South, and propose to organize him
down there so that he will stay down there and not come north
and take the white man’s job. Very kind of these leaders, in-
deed, but we have had some experience along these lines in the
past and that experience has always been against the Colored
worker, and we hope that the Black man will cease to be duped
by this clan who can see him only when they have axes of their
own to grind.
Capper, Republican, carried Kansas by a big majority.
Wilson carried the state by a saie majority, something like
15,000. Willis, Republican, carried Ohio. Hughes lost it de-
cisively and now-ere these men “Benedict Amolds,” too. The
very reason that California was lost was this same acrimonious
fight that the over-zealous Times has waged against Gov. Jobn-
son and the Progressives, instead of centering its fight on
Wilson. The party Sight could well have been held in abeyance
until the common enemy had been whipped. 4
We want to say to the members of the Race that it i very
necessary as the lessons of the past have taught us, “To Get To-
gether.” Why wait 2 day longer? Now, is the time. There is
no question that a calamity is upon us, and therefore in order to
endure the same, we must join forces and in one united band fight
the enemy to the utmost. Let nothing stad in the way of prog-
ress while prosperity is withheld. Such will not always be, and
when the golden light of prosperity again throws its rays across
this broad land of ours, in a united front we may gain results
worth while. So let's not wait until a political campaign is
upon us to Get Together, because on that basis we shall never
‘sce the light of day; but now is the time and when a campaign
‘should come it will meet a massed body standing for the men-|

54 years old at her death. She mar-

sisters, including Lena O'neal and
Mrs. Chas. Anthony, and two broth-
ers, Charley and Edward Woods, also
survice the deceased, aside from a
host of other relations as cousins
and grand children. Mr. Isham Lew-

left his southern home at Atlanta,

Angeles for no other purpose than
to give his family a-home with jim-

text: “And they shall be mine, saith
‘the Lord of hosts, in that day when
I make up my jewels” Mal. 3: 17.
The interment was made at Rosedale

the undertakers.

Mr. J. Warren, who came up last week from Holtville to vote for Mr. Hughes for president, left Monday for his home again. We are sorry he had to return disappointed in the election, but he is not by far the only disappointed one.
An ice cream social was given, Tuesday evening, at the parasomage for the benefit of the pastor. It was a success.

Mrs. Cox is enjoying herself in the Sun-Kissed City and has made many friends during the short stay, as well as met many of her former acquaintances. After visiting the exposition and enjoying the magnificent scenery, she made a sight-seeing trip to Tia Juana, Mex, where she enjoyed the Spanish features and contemplates leaving for her home soon.
Mr. George Henderson has returned to the tract again as clocker, after eight years' absence from that duty. Mr. Henderson has many friends and acquaintances on the various tracts in the United States.

Mrs. M. T. Laws and baby returned home last Tuesday, after spending several months in Los Angeles with her mother. She spent last Sunday at Watts, the guest of Mrs. Gus. Smith.
A soft voice came over the phone and wanted to know if Mr. Gordon was in. She wanted to know the author of Commilla.

Mr. M. T. Laws says it does not pay to walk down the street with a bunch of flowers in your hand, more especially if you are a married man going to the depot to meet your wife. Your friends will give you the once over and Ha! Ha! You cannot make them believe the flowers are for your wife. I told them I could carry flowers for my wife. I told them I could carry flowers on the Island, why could I not carry them in San Diego, and furthermore, it is not a pound box of bon bons that you had on Fifth and Broadway.
The remaining six weeks of the exposition promise to be the largest events of any during the last year, according to the plans of the special events department.
One of the main features in the coming events as mapped out, is to be an auto polo game, to be played on the tractor field between teams using automobiles instead of horses. Thi sgame is said to be one of the most exciting that could be. Think of the spills, mishaps, and complete turn-overs of the machines! Why, it will be enough to keep the audience in excitement from the first to the last whistle. These games are to be pulled off the latter part of November.

The occasion was a most enjoyable one for all, and many were the expressions complimentary to Mrs. Borom for her hospitality.
ON TO IMPERIAL VALLEY
Although Wilson is apparently elected there is no need to hesitate, but get ready for the storm that is surely coming. The call is on for cotton pickers in the Imperial Valley—3000 strong—wages as good as $5.00 per day can be made. It is a bonifide proposition, vouchered for by the Imperial County Farming Bureau and the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, in order to get the workers there the company is making a very special rate three days of the week fare for those who desire to go. We are told by Mr. Place, representing the Farmers' Bureau, that families are there who are making $20 to $25 dollars daily. It strikes us that as many of our people that are out of work at a living wage should take advantage of this opportunity and go to the Imperial Valley. This work will last until March.
There is promised no delay. Those going from here will be checked out of the office at the time they procure their transportation and will be enabled to go to work as soon as they arrive at El Centro. Quarters such as obtained in this section will be provided, as well as fuel for cooking purposes. Work is carried on every day in the week, and as we foresaid we warn our people to get busy and prepare for the storm that will be the result from four more years of Wilson in this country.

We have searched California for a desirable place, but could not find in the State just what we wanted.

1. There is no alkali in this land anywhere.
2. There is no adobe soil in this land.
3. There are no rocks on this land.
4. There is no sand or sand dunes on this land.
5. Nor can you find gullies in this territory.
6. The land is so level that you would never need to level it for irrigation.
7. This is fine soil for cotton raising.
8. Cattle and hog raising.
9. You can produce two crops a year without irrigation; one you plant in December, and the other in June.
10. This land without irrigation, will produce 50 to 60 bushels of wheat to the acre, and then the same year, without irrigation, produce 50 bushels of corn per acre.

11. The wind velocity is an important matter to the western farmer, many have to plant trees around the farm to protect the produce from high winds, but here, according to government reports, the velocity of the wind is from four to seven miles per hour.
12. This land, every foot of it, is water bearing, and you can get water from 15 to 50 feet, when you are seeking surface water.
13. The water from the artesian depth is so pure that in using the engine for four consecutive years, the boilers did not have to be cleaned out once during this time.
14. This land will produce the finest cotton possible, and when opened should be a rival to Imperial Valley.
15. It is nearly 1800 feet above the sea level, and out of the reach of fogs.
16. This is an orange producing climate and soil, but we can only know from the fact that 40 miles away oranges and lemons grow in abundance, therefore we safely conclude that lemons and oranges will grow here.
17. This land, from its productive powers, is easily worth $150 per acre. Everything that we have said about this land can be verified.
Now we are putting 20,000 acres of this land on the market at such a figure that it will startle you. We do so because we have plenty land left, and what we sell at this figure will help us to sell the rest of the land for what it is worth.
We have 250 certificates, called "Founders' Certificates," which members are to keep for the coming generation, as a memorial.
These Certificates will cost you $440 on terms, and will entitle you to cast one vote for the "Trustees" of the School in this Province; and give you 80 acres of this matchless land; thus letting you have the land at the rate of $5.50 per acre. This door will not be open always for the ambitious men and women among us.
One-fourth of all the proceeds from the sale of said land will be placed in escrow for the establishment and endowment of this University, thus avoiding the necessity of asking anyone for a donation, white or black. We hope that all Negroes who believe in and delight in the Negro's possibility, will enthusiastically join in with this religious, industrial, civil, and educational movement, that promises so much for the Race.
We hope to see a great city, surrounded by a great number of prosperous farmers and cattle raisers, and artisans skilled in every department of hand-craft; and turn out from there to the world, the best articles along all lines, bearing the name and stamp of this great University; and nothing can stop the Race from going on to greatness. The Race cannot go to greatness by saying great things alone, but by our deeds shall we be promoted in this world.

The Rascal Whipper Will Pray Thusly For Four More Years.
Most Worshipful Woodrow Wilson, President of all these United States and Shepherd of the Democratic flock; then who holdest great juicy slices of pie in the hollow of thy ample hands, when not holding thy new wife, and dealeth it out according to thy righteous will; we, thy poor, weatherbeaten and unworthy constituents, come tumbling down on our tummies to pour out our political devotions to thee and bless thy glorious Democratic name and to wish thee a large family of little Democrats in due season. Give ear unto our supplications, Great Political King.
Master Wilson, we thank thee that we are anxious and waiting Democrats. We are anxious to know what thou wilt have us do. We are waiting for anything that thy excellency may see fit to give us. We are waiting for thee to give us 20 cent cotton and 8 cent cattle. We are waiting for better times in general. Some of us haven't paid our taxes for two years.
We will confess that it is not as well with us as it might be. By some unaccountable reason several of us have not got jobs worth speaking about. And thou knowest a Democrat with no office and no work is in a devil of a fix. We simply can't hurry for "Wilson Prosperity" under such circumstances. It makes us feel like sheen-killing dogs.
We could stand it to be without work, and have our rations run short and see times get hard, if it wasn't for the infernal Republicans making fun of our lot and saying "we told you so." Master Wilson, that hurts like blue blazes.
That is the straw that is breaking our backs. Maybe this is the reward for our wickedness. But if something is not done pretty quick thou mayest not find us waiting at the gate. There are other parties calling for us. We hate to pray like this, but starvation is hell on manners, and we can't help it. If our prayer is unpolished it is due to the desperation of starvation. But with all our crudeness and lack of manners we want to emphasize the fact that we are schematically ready for our reward and we will

Rev. E. W. Kinchen, Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, Pasadena, Cal. I greatly need you for Cory Chapel, Cleveland, Ohio.
Fine opportunity, paying twelve or thirteen hundred and parsonage. In recent conversation Bishop Leonard consented. If you desire. All rests with you now. Will appoint you immediately. Wire at our expense. Better come. A warm welcome awaits you.
BISHOP W. T. ANDERSON.
Dr. Kinchen's Reply
Overcome by kindness. Would be so much easier if I were at Cory with double salary and ten times the members to say yes to invitation, from small church here. What is right? What is God's will? It would break my heart to dishearten this little flock here, and yet it grieves me that I do not know what to say to my Bishop. Would a little more time for prayer and counsel help all concerned? I am a Methodist minister, but how I would like to be faithful to this little flock.
On Monday evening Dr. Kinchen wired his final answer. After hours of agony and prayer, I cannot make up my mind to leave my little flock at this time. I shall always be under lasting obligation to you and fully appreciate how serious a matter it is to turn aside this great opportunity, but my best judgment dictates this course.
Mr. Toney Ward of Fort Smith, Ark., uncle of Mr. Wm. H. Roberts, is at the home of his sister-in-law on Fair Oaks Avenue.
Scott's Chapel is planning a great rally to take place the last Sabbath in January, at which time they hope to raise $1,000. Dr. Kinchen was not in his pulpit Sunday morning. Rev.

DEMOCRATIC PRAYER
accept thy ple blessings as gratefully as ever a little dog accepted a chicken's liver.
Mighty Master, thou knowest we can't be Democrats without reward. Thou knowest we voted for thee with the understanding that we inherit the offices and the emoluments thereof. Yet we see Republicans holding over everywhere while we are down in the gutter. Again, we declare that we are ready. We will take anything that thou hast. We would be dog-catcher for the back districts of Hepsidam. We would be tick inspector. We would be fertilizer smeller. Just anything thou hast to dispense we will thankfully accept, and the quicker the better.
And Master Wilson, there is one important question we would ask thee. It may be treason in us to want to know such a thing, but we can't help it. It is this: When dost thou expect the Free Trade tariff to begin to lower the cost of living? We know it is wrong to be impatient, but, Great Chief, if something is not done pretty quick we are going to have hard work keeping the party together; besides, we are going to have a harder time keeping our own souls and bodies together. Something to eat is getting shorter and shorter with us, and the price is mounting to the sky. Worthy Master, we wish that thou wouldst explain this tariff business a little. We can't understand it to save our lives. We thought reducing the tariff made things cheaper. We have always been taught to believe in that theory.
Again, Mighty Chief, we beseech thee to hear our prayers. For heaven's sake don't saddle us with a bond issue. We read in the papers that thou art considering a big bond issue to get money to run the government, and dodgast them bonds. Thou shouldst remember that Cleveland sold bonds, and it busted our party into smithereens. We never can survive a bond issue. Bonds means slavery, and slavery is worse than war, and war is worse than hell. It will bury us so deep we will never hear the gun fire this year. Cut down salaries rather than sell bonds.
Oh, mighty Woodrow, thou who hast already skinned us out of our jobs with thy business-busting Free Trade farce, don't get us scaled in a war. Thou knowest, dear and mighty pie-distributer, that we have never had any luck with war, anyway. Thou knowest that in the great history of the American people thou hast written how we Democratic dupes followed the party call and went to war against the Stars and Stripes for four long years, and how "Honest" Abel Lincoln licked the stuff out of us and made us Democrats do without ple for over a quarter of a century. Oh, Waiting One, we hunker down on our Free Trade jeans-covered knees and petition thee not to have any more war.
If Mexico wants to make a doormat of the American flag let them enjoy themselves. Hasn't Germany done the same thing? Hasn't England done it, under thy great and adorable reign, oh, great soft-hearted chieftain? Why should we go to war? Are we not already at war at home with the poverty caused by thy great Free Trade? We thought we were already at war, mighty Woodrow. We've read of so many bank failures and business wrecks and people out of jobs under thy great Free Trade administration that we have stopped reading the newspapers, but if we are not at war why this blooming Hundred Million Dollar War Tax we are paying?
But, Mr. President, remember we are Democrats still. We are willing to face the music and drink soup, if necessary, if only we can be patted on the back and called good Democrats. We know it is treason to complain. We know the province of a good Democrat is to take his medicine and never make a crooked face. So, Mighty Chief, forgive us for talking as we have. Kick us for presuming to ask questions. It is not for us to scrutinize thy wisdom or question thy plans. So put the toe of thy wrath to us and teach us to obey. Teach us that a Democrat was made to vote straight and ask no questions.
Master Wilson, if we are too presumptuous, kick us. Kick us a little anyway. We deserve to be kicked a little. If we ask foolish questions thump us on the head with the scorpter of thy greatness. If we are a little crude and coarse in our manners it is because we never had a chance to be anybody. We never went to school. We are greenhorns. We are fag ends of Democratic despair. We are lick-spitites and gutter-snipes. We are ready to do the bidding of any Democrat who will command us. We will turn political somersaults. We will cuss Cleveland some more. We will denounce Roosevelt or Taft or Debs or Chadin or anybody else if it will make pie come our way.
Save us from the clutches of The
Rascal Whipper and all the honor
shall be thine. Amos.
