"INTOLERANCE" ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 29 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- The California Eagle VS. "CLANSMAN." ed as favorable candidates, viz. Rev. J. T. Hill and Rev. C. N. Moore, the former pastor of Providence church. 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. C. A.

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. Much credit and praise is due Mrs. Dyson and Mrs. Bush as chairman or heads of the committee on serving, for the manner in which all were appreciatively served. Those who stood in the receiving line for the evening were: Mrs. C. C. Hulbert, Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Gordon, Mrs. A. E. Weber, Mrs. Jas. Bate, Mrs. Lillian Jeter Davis, Rev. and Mrs. J. D.

CHURCH AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES IN THE CROWN CITY The services of Scott's Chapel Sabbath Day started with the early morning prayer meeting short test, each person engages very closely with the 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. C. A. S. 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. Turner had as her guests the Misses Martelia and Lomona Lewis of Los Angeles. Mrs. C. H. Griffy and Mrs. W. S. Pyles hahve as their guest this week their brother and wife.

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 What the Churches are Doing FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Eighth and Towne Ave. Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor. Services Sunday were up to the usual high standard with two splendid congregations in attendance. The pastor preached and there was one addition to the membership at the morning service.

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 Rev. J. W.

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.

SAYS "BILLY" IS UNIQUE—HIS VIRTUES AND FAULTS. God and man dishonored by false doctrines which preachers do not believe—fake preaching abominable to God—instilling superstitious fears a crime—if the Bible does teach that eternal torture is the fate of all except the Saints, it should be preached, yea, thundered, weekly, daily, hourly —if 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 reports that "Billy" prayed to God most irreverently, and addressed the Redeemer as "Old Pal," were true, then "Billy's" influence on the public would lead on in the direction in which the world is now rapidly moving anyway—toward irreverence. He hoped that "Billy" would become more reverent, and believes that this result would follow a better knowledge of God. He could scarcely reconcile with honesty Billy's attempt 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. He was pleased to note that "Billy" Sunday's last sermon in each place was usually on the second 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 wonder why "Billy" would help people into the Laodicean church, which the Bible styles Babylon, and declares that God spurs out of His mouth. (Revelation 3:16). Next Sunday the pastor will discuss the second coming of Christ, viewing that great event and Messiah's Kingdom from a somewhat different angle from Billy's. (Copy of Pasistor Russell's sermon will be sent free on request. Address this office—Editor.) The pastor declared that it makes his blood boil with righteous indignation to find Billy's preaching a practical indorsement of the God-dishonoring theory that the great mass of humanity are to suffer eternal torment because they were born in sin, misshaped in iniquity (Psalm 51: --- 5), and then failed to live saintly lives. True, "Billy" does not explain hell. Like most preachers he probably hides his true thought on this subject, while allowing the common people to think that he believes in a hell of eternal tortures. The pastor could not believe that Mr. Sunday or any other intelligent man of our day really believes this invention 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 they owe it to God that this foul stain upon the Divine character be denounced. They owe it to themselves as men to stand for and speak out the truth and to assist in opening the eyes of the poor, deluded world. The pastor hopes that Mr. Sunday will yet realize that no one can long maintain a moral standard higher than that which he attributes to his God. The injustice and persecution of centuries is largely attributable to the false doctrines which represent the Creator as a 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 error of counting all civilized people Christians. The creeds save Christians only—Jews, Mohammedans, heathen, all go to hell to roast eternally. Roman Catholics provide a second chance for members 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 full one for every member of the human family. The only chance offered during this Gospel age is the opportunity of becoming a member of the church—a true follower of Jesus. Such are to get the heavenly inheritance, but not until the resurrection. The remainder of the world will be offered an earthly future; and this offer will begin with the establishment of Messiah's kingdom of a thousand years. The Bible nowhere teaches that either saints or sinners pass to a conscious condition at death. The Bible declares that they all "sleep," and that the awakening time will be at the second coming of the Redeemer to establish His kingdom. The first resurrection will be the church, and subsequently "every man in his own order." When once the fact is grasped that the Bible hell is the grave—Sheol, Hades—then all is plain. The great divinely arranged purgatory, to last a thousand years, will be glorious. All the heathen and the ignorant, superstitious millions of Christendom, who were taught to call themselves Christians, but who knew that they were not, will have the opportunity of coming to a knowledge of the true God and of His gracious provision for them. We must all realize that preaching is no mere display, but is a sore battle with the hard hearts of their congregation in which the Gospel is preached at a supreme cost to himself. And conscious that he must summon to his desperate task every resource of feeling and awe to reach the purpose of converting his sinful congregation, such preaching has never failed ot bring out the desired effects.

GET TOGETHER. The funeral services* of Mrs. Fannie Lewis were held Tuesday afternoon from First A. M. E. church by Rev. J. Logan Craw. Dr. Craw was assisted in this service by Rev. E. E. Lightner, pastor of Lincoln Memorial Congregational church, and Rev. Hartnet, of the A. C. E. church. Rev. J. D. Gordon, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church, was one of the mourners with the large and highly respected family to which the deceased belonged. Mrs. Fannie Lewis the deceased, was born in Heard county, Georgia, about 1862, and was 54 years old at her death. She married to Mr. Isham Lewis just 40 years ago. This devoted husband and five children survive her. Two sisters, including Lena Oneal and Mrs. Chas. Anthony, and two brothers, Charley and Edward Woods, also survive the deceased, aside from a host of other relations as cousins and grand children. Mr. Isham Lewis, with his devoted Christian wife, left his southern home at Atlanta, Ga. 23 years ago and came to Los Angeles for no other purpose than to give his family a home with improved civil surroundings. Mrs. Lewis was always been a devotee of the A. M. E. church, and when in Atlanta she rendered valuable service in Big Bethel church. She was a member of First A. M. E. church, this city, until death came and she was called Higher. Dr. Craw paid a fitting tribute, in his sermon, to the life of the deceased, using as his 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 cemetery. Roberts and Sons were the undertakers. DOWN WITH THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC Eva Carter Buckner The time has come for you and me To help to strike the blow To crush the viper of the land, And lay the monster low. The cunning conqueror, who's slain His thousands with a smile; Who's dulled the brain and wrecked the home wrecked the home While laughing at his guile. Ah! look each day upon our streets. And see the human wrecks. The jail an open door for them; No other place protects. The youth, poor youth, has scarce a chance To reach maturity Before he's in the viper's grasp What then? Who stops to see? The little merchant newsboy sells His papers on the street, And sad the scenes, the drunken scenes His knowing eye must meet. Man should be free, you hear it said. And inconsistent pleas are made, "It lessens tax," 'tis said. While children in the drunkard's home Are oft in want of bread. They've tried to charge it to our God, God, Who never did intend That man should be a drunken You are your brother's keeper friend; You may be strong yourself. But it is yours and mine to help To save him from himself. And now's the time to strike the blow. Yes, wave the banner high! And let the nation see that we're For California Dry. Another pioneer of this state in the person of Mrs. Sarah Harlow, passed to the great beyond at her late home, 7708 East 18th street, on Monday last, and was buried from St. Philip's Episcopal church on Wednesday; with the full choral mass being sung by Father Clechorn, assisted by the full choir, of which Mrs. Harlow was a devoted and faithful member. Allie Hill, with his full, rich voice, rendered as a solo, "With Him Alone." Many friends were present and followed all that was mortal to its last resting place in Rosedale cemetery. Ernest Russell, assisted by Chas. Conner, had charge of the perfect and artistic funeral arrangements. The members of the Progressive Educational Association met at the office of H. H. Williams & Co.

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.

A smooth table land. The land will produce cotton, and corn, 50 to 75 bushels per acre; wheat, barley, oats, and other small grain, 40 to 60 bushels per acre; potatoes and beans, peas of all varieties, melons of all kinds, and all semi-tropical vegetables. FRUITS Lemons, oranges, grapes, and all kinds of nuts, and any fruit that grows in any semi-tropical climate. THE SURVEY The lands will be allotted in 40, 80 and 100-acre tracts, and the cost per acre will be $5.50 for the present. TERMS 40 acres @ $5.50 = $220.00. 80 acres @ $5.50 = $440.00. 100 acres @ $5.50 = $550.00. These amounts can be paid on the installment plan if desired. When the European war comes to a close, and it is made possible for the thousands to come to this country, all thinking people are agreed that all or most of our idle territory will be taken up by the homesekers. Having this in mind, and also seeking to provide for the Western states a school or university for the religious training of our girls and boys, we desired a location. We have searched California for a desirable place, but could not find in the State just what we wanted. We have succeeded now in laying hands upon more than 100,000 acres of the best land now idle on the North American continent. These amounts can be paid on the installment plan if desired.

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. 9. You can produce two crops a year without one you plant in December, and the other is 10.

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.

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 ```markdown ``` Dr. Kinchen Loyal to Scott Chapel, Declines Appointment to One of the Largest Churches in the Connection.

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.

Madain Beavers, with/her excellent choir their 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. Capt. H. enry Z.
