ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 29 Ma Los Angeles Repr State AT THE STATE CAPITAL WITH THE LAW- MAKERS We arrived in Sacramento after the Senate and Assembly had adjourned, but soon found our way to the capitol building where the third day's sessions had just adjourned. We met Assemblyman Mouser, who was a very busy man making preparation for the introduction of many beneficial measures for his constituents, but not too busy to greet and make the Eagle's editor welcome and at home. In fact we had come to accept if acceptable to us a position during the session at Mr. Mouser's hand, and after loking over the situation we accepted a position as one of the assistant sergeants at arms and was assigned to the duty which we requested through the kindness of the very affable and efficient sergeant at arms, Mr. W. J. Leflar, who already has demonstrated his ability to fill that office with signal credit and honor. We also met our genial Senator, Henry H. Lyons, who is also a very busy man and who is sought by many as they recognize in him a man who will do his utmost to assist even the most humble, Senator Lyons, like Assemblyman Mouser, gave a position in recognition to his colored constituent to C. W. Wilson as mailing clerk. Senator Ballard, the old war horse, also placed in a position C. Oliver. So far the only recognition in any shape or form given to the loyal colored brother has been rendered by the Los Angeles county members as mentioned above. Getting Down to Business The first week of the session was devoted to perfecting the organization of the two bodies, organizing the committees, etc., and now the real work of the session has begun. One resolution has already passed the Senate and doubtless will pass in the Assembly, which cuts short the first session by about 10 days and provides for reconvening February 26 instead of March 8th. This was not very popular with the attaches, however. Introduce Many Bills Assemblyman Mouser on the first day for introduction of bills introduced eight bills dealing on various subjects, probably the principal bill by Mr. Mouser is an Act amending the Motor Vehicle bill passed May 11-15. This bill greatly simplifies and is intended to make the motor/vehicle traffic more safe. Mr. Muser also introduced the following measures: An Act to Regulate Harvestry Kelp and Other Aquatic Plants; An Act for Semi - monthly Payment of Wages; An Act Describing Who Are Peace Officers; An Act Amending the Workmen's Compensation Insurance Safety Act; An Act Relating to Excusing Jurors; An Act Relating to Jurors; An Act Relating to the number of Names Which Lists of Jurors Shall Contain; An Act to Provide for work upon streets of municipalities; An Act relating to distribution of common property after death of a husband; An Act relating to holidays; A Resolution relating to inferior courts; A Resolution relating to eligibility to judicial office; Concurrent Resolution approving ten amendments to charter of the city of Los Angeles voted for and ratified at a special election at that place, October 24, 1916. Assemblyman P. C. Phillips also introduced many meritorious The keC resentatives at the Capitol. measures, viz: The Plumbers Bill, also bill revising penal code where it will make public identity of all persons under arrest and it will be impossible for officers to hold prisoners excommunica, also bill to make it a felony to carry deadly weapons and other needful measures. Assemblyman Harry Lyons, C. W. Lyons, Watson, Farmer, Ambrose, Younkin, and in fact all of the Los Angeles contingent, are to the front with progressive legislation and have all fared very well with assignments on committees, etc. Assemblyman P. C. Phillips is on a very desirable committee which is much sought for, that is the Aattaches Committee. The Eagle will keep its readers informed to the progress of the legislation, as the session progresses and the part that the various members are playing there- In the Senate This body, only half as large as that of the Aesssembly, moves more rapidly in the disposition of the measures that come before it. With only half the time for a roll call and only half the members to be heard as are in the Assembly, it is easier of course, by halfto do the business. Lieutenant Governor Stephens presides with rare grace and dignity, he will, however, give way in a few days to take upon himself the highest office within the gift of the people of the State, that of governor. Senator H. H. Lyons of Los Angeles is a prime favorite in this body and has introduced many meritorious measures. He is chairman of the very important Capital and Labor Committee. Senator Struckenbrock of Lodi is one of the prominent statesmen of the Senate, who is very popular with all factions. Senator Kelroe of Humboldt is the chairman of the judiciary committee and is of course one of the leaders in that body. Senator Luce of San Diego is chairman of the attaches committee and seems to be the right man in the right place. Senators Crawley and Scott of San Francisco are both among the leaders of the Senate. Both are affable and congenial statesmen who are bent on looking out for the interests of the people of not only their respective city, but the State as well. LEGISLATIVE NOTES Senator H. H. Lyon and Assemblyman Mouser have demonstrated their ante election friendship toward the Colored voters by practical demonstration of the same by putting on the pay roll representation from their districts. They have never failed to do so. Assemblyman Mouser is the only Assemblyman in the whole State that has given his Colored constituents recognition. Understand us, the only one in the past three sessions. The old war horse of Republicanism, the Hon. Hugh Baldwin of San Diego, is ably representing that county in the Assembly. He is a man who stands fairly and squarely for all the people and always deservedly receives from them a strong support. Chas. W. Goetting of San Francisco is one of the wide awake young members of the Assembly, who is always on the job looking after the interests of his constituents. Hale, hearty and well met is Assemblyman Jas. J. Ryan, and a man who is popular with the ```markdown ``` California Eagle San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JANUARY 20, 1917 members of the Assembly and will well care for his district and the state at large. Mr. B. O. Boothby, who was with the State Central Committee at Los Angeles during the last campaign, is chief clerk of the Assembly, and is filling that position with distinguished credit. V. G. Gelcich, who so successfully conducted the campaign of Thos. Lee Woolwine in Los Angeles, is holding down the position of History Clerk and is making good. Editor Eagle:— sincerely hoped that not only all of your readers, but that every colored man and woman in the city of Los Angeles would be present at the meeting at the Forum on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 14th, to listen to the address of the president, Rev. J. D. Gordon, touching the movement and the work of the Progressive Educational Association; still, while the audience was quite large, in looking over the assemblage, I noticed there were a few prominent colored citizens who were not present, much to my regret, as the Doctor gave one of the most lucid talks on this grand movement that one could imagine. Not a single incident was omitted as those who were present can testify. Unfortunately I was compelled to leave the meeting before it closed, having another appointment, but what was said could leave no room for doubt as to the wisdom and advisability of the race taking an interest and procuring some of the land for the Company. In selecting land for farming purposes one should always take into consideration two things at least, viz: the quality of the soil, and the facility for marketing, or in other words, nearness to railroad or commercial towns. As regards the land in question both of these propositions outlined above can be readily answered in their favor. The soil is of the very best for agricultural needs, as set forth in a previous letter, and as for the rail outlook I need only say that a road is already projected and the survey made which will traverse right through the very heart of this section, thus insuring a first class market for a first class colony. So many items crowd in on the mind when one begins to expatriate on the wonders of this great country, that I am lost in a maze of bewilderment as to just what phase to touch upon, but suffice to say that no mistake will ever be made by any one who purchases any of the lands of the Progressive Educational Association. I had desired at the outset in writing these series of articles, to create in the minds of your readers a veritable question mark, and inspire them to greater investigation, as this is the only way tha we can arrive at the point where progress can be made, and now I want once more to invite public discussion of these important subjects, and if any one entertains the least doubt let them so express themselves so that we can get a little nearer the true inwardness and have heart to heart talks, and we will all feel the better therefor. As regards the title to the lands of the Papago Indians I will merely say at this time that I have seen the deeds that have passed or certified copies thereof, the original of which are on file in the Recorder's Office in Phoenix, Arizona, and their legitimacy can not be questioned. The lands came into the possession of the United States at the close of the Mexican war, or the signing of the treaty at Guadalupe Hidalgo, and are from the Royal House of Spain, so he who runs may read. In future articles I shall deal with the titles in full, the Indians. natives, characteristics of the people, and other things pertaining to the growth, solidity and legality of this vast enterprise. Very sincerely yours, JAMES H. LONGDEN, Legal Adviser Progressive Educational Assn. LOOK HERE!

REX BEACH'S GREATEST STORY "The Ne'er-Do-Well," filmed as a spectacular drama by the Selig Polyscope Company, is considered by many as Rex Beach's greatest story. In "The Ne'er-Do-Well," fascinating Panama scenery is shown, including the work of digging the Panama Canal, the interiors of old Spanish homes, glimpses of the interior of the tropical jungle; and odd and interesting nooks and corners. The cast in "The Ne'er-Do-Well" includes Kathlyn Williams, Eugene Bessener, Wheeler Oakman, Frank Clark and others. Almost the same cast of stars that added to the realism of "The Spoilers," Beach's other great story filmed by the Selig Company, appear in "The Ne'er-Do-Well." Charming Kathlyn Williams enacts the strongest character role in her career as Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt, the woman diplomat. The role of Kirk Anthony, the Ne'er-Do-Well, is enacted by Wheeler Oakman. This wonderful Selig production has been booked at the Angelus Theater, 1007 Central avenue. IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE MISS LOUISE PHILLIPS Loved ones, weep not in despair O'er the blasting of your sweet lily, Transplanted in love, she's 'tended with care, Where God's great garden grows. By the side of the clear crystal water, She is nodding and smiling so fair, In the light of His love, blooming above, Away from all strife and care. Some day we shall walk in His garden, If faithful to him we shall prove, Your lily you will see, in all purity, And will realize more fully God's love. Louise was patient and O, so sweet, When she lay in death, sighed friends' soften'd breath; "The Lillies bloomed beneath her feet, She was sweet, she was sweet." —By MRS. S. M. McALLISTER. Miss Ellen Prowd, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. D. Prowd, will address the B. Y. P. U. Federa- tion at the Friendship Baptist church Sunday afternoon. MARIA MAYORA The above are the likenesses of Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Drive, who even though they are but juveniles in appearance, but a few weeks past celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Dr. Driver is pastor, founder and erector of Saints Home church at 20th St. and Hooper avenue, where more than four hundred persons worship from time to time while the bona fide membership of the church is reckoned at something over three hundred. Dr. Driver is a bundle of energy; so great is his spiritual fervor On the very first page of this journal we publish a little statement which reads, "The People's Forum for uplift—All Men Up, and No Man Down." Now as a journal this is our motto, and with God's help one that we hope to live up to. Often we are grieved because out of our experience along our particular line we are forced to realize that many of our people are slaves to their own belief, religious or otherwise, and persons and even newspapers that deviate in any way in their estimation from their way is condemned by them, but this was and is not Christ's way, friend. On our church page we are going to run a review of the International Sunday school lesson and whether or not you agree with the author, Dr. J. A. Bigelow, at all times remember this, that we are running it for your edification and not your condemnation. C. A. BASS, Mgr. Ed THE GET ACQUAINTED LITER ARY CLUB Mt.

Owing to its nearness to the newly erected Independent church, Mr. Lewis hopes to make this court a pleasant and profitable home for many of the church goers. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN ING that he seems never to run down. At their recent wedding anniversary, persons participating on the program who had known Dr. and Mrs. Driver, before they came West; spoke of the excellent accomplishments of these two good people in the highest terms. The Dr. and his good wife in the community where they are at this time are still carrying on this good work which they started years ago in the Southland, and their efforts are not being wasted. We are in receipt of a bit of news from Oakland stating that the promising young attorney, and recent graduate of the law department of Stanford University, Mr. H. Leonard Richardson, has won a discrimination suit in favor of Messrs. Geo. Dunlap and De Cuir against the New T. D. Moving Picture concern of Oakland. Mr. Richardson's, whose offices are at 222,3 Blake Block, has started well, and The Eagle wishes him abundant success. Dr. H. D. Prowd, pastor of the Second Baptist church, who has been confined to his home for the past two weeks suffering with pneumonia, has improved to the extent that he is expected to fill the pulpit Sunday if the weather is fair. The members of the church are looking forward to the pastor's return to his pastorate with expectation of a great spiritual rejuvenation. JEWELS OF LOVE By Florence E. Snyder In the stillness of night I oftimes ponder. Will there be for me a freedom, Oh, I wonder. Then a sweet voice whispers All is well, We will teach lessons The world to tell. We will make you a jewel Ever so bright. That shall shine forth Like a radiant light. We will bring messages Of love untold, And each day more of That beautiful love unfold. And when, alas, the work On this plane is through, And you come to that Beautiful home so new. May the angels receive you In the light, Ever to be happy with your loved ones, In that home so bright. ```markdown ``` What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO The New Jerusalem—The Spiritual Government of the Mellenial Age—The New Heaven and Earth Symbolic Expression Indictive of the New Conditions to Prevail Under Messiah's Rule—The New Spiritual Government to be invisible—In another figure Called the Temple of God—The Earthly Representative of the Messianic Kingdom—Those Who Shall Constitute the Heavenly Phase. Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people. Rev. 21:3, R. V. Paradise, the garden of God, was appliable as a name to Eden where our first parents resided while they were still in harmony with God before their disobedience. The same name is scripturally applied to the new earth when restitution blessings shall, during the millenium, have brought it to perfection as the abode of those who under divine favor shall then prove worthy of life everlasting. It was fo this paradise the Apostle Paul was in vision caught away when given a glimpse of various features of the Divine plan not then due to be understood by the church in general: things not lawful to be uttered. (2 Cor. 12:4). The Apostle St. John was similarly caught away in vision, and shown some of the wonders of the Paradise epoch. But these were only in symbols, which he was permitted to report and which have been comparatively misapprehended until now in the Lord's due time, the Holy Spirit is guiding His people into the truth of this subject as well as upon others; "for the time is at hand" and the information is "meat in due season" for the household of faith. Elsewhere this Paradise of the future is referred to by the Apostle as "the third heaven" and as "a new heavens and a new earth." (2 Cor. 12:2; 2 Pet. 3 13.) They are not referring to new planets, but to the third of these great periods of time, beginning with man's creation and extending into the illimitable future. The first of these periods termed the first heaven and earth —the old order of things—passed away with the Deluge of Noah's day. The second period, "the heavens and earth which are now," the present order of things, are reserved of God to pass away with the great symbolic fire of trouble, revolution, etc., which will utterly destroy the present spiritual power and the present social arrangement.—2 Pet. 3:6,7 Gal. 1:14; Zept. 3:8,9. The third great period is to be a "world without end," under divine administration. This will be the third heaven and the third earth, or the new heaven and the new earth, which will differ from the present condition of things in that they will be righteous, whereas the present arrangement is imperfect, unrighteous. The "new heavens" will consist of the new spiritual ruling power of the future—Christ the head, and the Church His Body. The present heavens consist of the normal religious systems which, while claiming Christ for their Head, nevertheless bow in a very large degree to Anti-Christ, "the god of this world," the prince of this world, "who now worketh in the children of disobedience," and who is captivating and blinding the whole world, with the exception of the few whose eyes of understnading have been opened, who are under special blessing and leading, who are taught of God—the little flock, heirs of the Kingdom."—Eph. 2:2; 2 Cor. 4:4. The Paradise of God It is to this new heaven and new earth condition, this Paradise of God, that we are now considering. As the "new heavens" do not mean a new place for God's Throne, so the "new earth" does not mean another planet. The "new heavens" are new condi- tions, the spiritual power and control of Christ and His glorified Church; so the "new earth" means a new social order on this planet—"the new heavens and earth—constituting the world to come—"wherein dwelleth righteousness." 2 Pet. 3:10-13. The declaration of our lesson is that the former heavens and the former earth—which are now—will then have passed away and will be no more. All present institutions are to perish utterly in the great time of trouble with which this age is very shortly to end. And there shall be no more sea. As we have already seen, the sea is a symbol of the masses of people in a restless and unstable archaistic condition—just as the land represents the social order, and as the mountains represent the kingdoms of the present time. As there is no reference to the physical earth and the physical heavens being destroyed, so there is no reference to the physical sea being obliterated. The symbol signifies that under the new arrangements, under the control of the new heaven—spiritual power —the reconstructed social order will be so satisfactory, so complete, so thorough that there will be no more sea class—no more restless people, no more dissatisfied masses, no more anarchist. Everything will be reduced to law and order, and under the new regime law and order will secure justice to every creature, obliterating the differences of wealth and power as they now exist. sla, 2:12-22. The New Jerusalem The New Jerusalem In the symbolism of the Scripture a city represents a government; as for instance, symbolic Babylon is denominated "the great city (government) which ruleth over the kings of the earth" (Rev. 17:18). The New Jerusalem symbolizes the new spiritual government of the Millennial age. It is not earth-born; it is not reared by men, but, as pictured in this study, it descends from God out of Heaven. That is, it is spiritual in every sense of the word—of God and not of men. It is for this Kingdom, the Government, that our Lord taught His disciples to pray. Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is done in Heaven. The declaration that the city is adorned as a bride for her husband implies its beauty, grandeus and perfection, as a bride's adornment on such an occasion is particular and elaborate to the last degree. Additionally, the statement reminds us that in the government of the future the world's judges are to be the saints selected throughout the Gospel Age and qualified through faithfulness in trials and tribulations. 1 Cor. 6:2 In the Scriptures these are frequently called "the Bride, the Lamb's Wife," and joint-heirs in the Kingdom. We are not to think of this Holy City as being composed of literal stones, coming down through the air. On the contrary, we are to remember that the saints of the Gospel Are are "living stones," as the Apostle explains. 1 Pet. 2:4:7; Eph. 2:19-22. This glorious city will not be visible to the natural eye. Neither Christ nor the saints in glory can be seen of men. Only those who are changed from human to spiritual nature will see these matters in full. But the whole world will quickly be made aware of the fact that the new Government has been instituted—a government of righteousness and all power—and that thereafter whosoever doeth righteousness shall be blessed, but that whosoever doeth evil shall be punished porportionately. The entire Gospel Age has been devoted to the preparation of this New Jerusalem. As a whole it comprises all of the saints, from our Lord Jesus Christ down to the last member of the church. Not until all of the members of the body of Christ have been chosen, found faithful, fitted and prepared for their places will this City of God descend to the earth in power and come in possession or control of the earth. The coming of the New Jerusalem to the earth is symbolic representation of the establishment of God's Kingdom in the earth; for a city is a well known symbol representing government control. Thus Washington City represents the United States government; Petrograd, the Russian Government; Paris the French government; Berlin, the German, London th eBritish, etc. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE The third of this study associates this city with the other figure of a symbolic temple which the Lord is now preparing, and of which the saints will constitute the "living stones" and pillars. It is declared that the Tabernacle of God (His Dwelling) shall be itth men in this city (government or kingdom). It will be His Temple; and the world of mankind will approach God in it, to receive the divine blessings, just as Israel approached the typical tabernacle and the Temple in their typical religious services. Thus God represented in His church, the Christ, Head and Body—will dwell with the world of mankind during the millennial age, and they shall be His people; that is to say, all mankind will be treated from the standpoint of reconciliation. The Propitition—price for all the sins of the world having been paid and the due time having come for the manifestation of divine favor, all people shall be treated as the Lord's people. None of them shall be treated as aliens, strangers, foreigners from God and His promises. While the Millennial Kingdom will be the Kingdom of God; of God's dear Son, and His joint heirs, the Church, will be an absolute accord with the Father; and all that shall be done under their control will fully and completely represent the divine will respecting men. Nevertheless, it will be a Kingdom separate from the remainder of the Universe, as the Apostle Paul indicates. (I Cor. 15:24, 25, 28.) "He must reign until He hath put all enemies under His feet . . . And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also be subject to Him that did put all things under Him . . . Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the Kingdom to God, even the Father"—at the close of the Millennial Reign. Continued PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH 1406 Newton St. Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor The services at this church on the last Sabbath were unusually interesting and helpful. The Pastor preached at the morning service on the general rules of the church and the service was very helpful to the splendid congregation present. Rev. J. L. Trimble preached at the evening service and his sermon was a treat to the members and friends present. The church is alive along all lines and the members are entering heartily into the work. The ladies of stewardess board number one gave a very delightful house social at the home of Sister Ladye Bowen, the president, on Monday night and despite the inclement weather a very nice party gathered and enjoyed the hospitality of the ladies. The Epworth League is still growing in interest under the presidency of Brother L. D. Polk and is a factor for good in the lives of those who attend from time to time. The officers have set the first Sunday in February as rally day for the pastor and they are expecting to make up the deficit on this claim on this day. All the members are urged to be present and contribute as liberally as possible to this cause. The pastor will continue his sermons on the general rules of the church on next Sunday morning and all are invited to be present. THE INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor Odd Fellows Hall, corner 8th and Wall Sts. The sunshine beams brighter and brighter each Sunday in the souls of the members of the Independent church, and in a few days will shine in its fullness in our new home of worship. The pastor's text for last Sunday morning was from St. John 1:23, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness." Text for evening: St. John 1:29, "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world." These messages came from one filled with the holy spirit and much truth and beauty was brought forth. A large and enthusiastic congregation greeted the pastor at both services. Services next Sunday as usual All are invited. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE- GATIONAL CHURCH 34th St. and Central Ave. Both services, which were well attended, were enjoyed by all who worshiped with us on last Sunday.

The Hann's Jubilee Concert company will be the additional favor to the thronging congregatioin that will worship at First church Sunday morning in the rendition of a grand sacred quartette selection. The pastor will deliver the sermon and our own superb choir will render special music. The pastor will preach at the evening service at the usual hour. Come early if you wish to get a good new. Everybody welcome. Last Sunday was a bright, beautiful day and it taxed the auditorium and balcony to accommodate the metropolitan congregation that throned First church at the morning service. A very large congregation assembled at the evening service. Madam Florence Cole-Talbert, Lyric Saprano of the Hann's Concert Company, electrified the vast congregation that worshipped at the morning service, in her rendition of "The Cross," by Ware. No correct description can be given of the sweetness of her voice and the beauty of the composure that heralds her as one of our race's foremost artists in the musical world, Mr. Talbert, her husband, was the efficient accompanist. Prof. Hamm delivered some pleasing remarks and everybody is yet inspired who attended the services of this day. In response to the invitation by the pastor for soldiers for Christ there were seven who united with the church. Two of these were converts. Don't miss the service this Sunday. The Union revival closes at First church Sunday at 3 o'clock. Dr Robeson gave out messages last week that were truly helpful to all and Dr Price has been uplifting in the messages of this week with telling results. A published statement of the result of this three weeks' series of revival meeting will be made in next week's issue. The Christian Endeavor Society of First A. M. E. church will hold its second sacred program Sunday evening at 6 o'clock in the main auditorium. Mr. Paul R. Williams, the president, and the program committee are sparing no pains to make this the greatest program of its kind ever given by the society. A short discussion of the lesson, "Seeing the Good in Others," will be led by Miss Leola McKinney. Everybody welcome. Come early and enjoy this great musical and literary treat. ```markdown ``` San Francisco Ads. C ALEX, COCHRANE Prop.

His text was taken from Jer. 8:11-12, "For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying peace, peace, when there is no peace.

[Picture of a woman] Kind Reader, I will try and bring before you knowledge that I receive from the intelligence as you may call it, from the loved ones who return back to me bringing this wisdom and knowledge. Race prejudice is one of the causes of our terrible warfare today and it is demonstrated among all races of people, but it is developed more among the white or caucasian race than any other. Why should one race rule, Lord over God's inheritance when God made us all equal and we are all composed of the same material, and God being the spirit within all mankind, what has color to do with the man? There is good and bad in all races of people, but some races have been suppressed more than others and the ideas of man have made a hell for many. Mnoey may cover scandal on this plane and do the work for an envious heart, but there is a beautiful hereafter where all must be equal. Why is it the white or caucasian race is not as robust and strong as other races? Because our laws of today object to intermingling and naturally the race is bound to grow weaker. I find there is no race that has been suppressed as the Ethiopian race and yet with all they have had to endure, we will acknowledge they Gas Range with 16-inch Oven Kitchen Table Kitchen Chair Credit Terms $10.00 purchase, $1.00 down, 50c week. $25.00 purchase, $2.50 down, $1.00 week. $50.00 purchase, $5.00 down, $1.75 week. $75.00 purchase, $7.50 down, $1.75 week. $100.00 purchase, $10.00 down, $2.00 week. are just as intelligent, trustworthy and capable as any other race of people. The wisest man the world has ever known was King oSlomon, and I want to say, kind reader, spiritualism teaches you to see every man and woman as your brother and sister, regardless of race, color, or creed. It teaches you to respect all mankind and to know your self and when you know yourself you know it all. Almost every religion claims to follow Christ, and yet they would utterly object to a black man coming into their house of worship. When Jesus was on earth he saw nothing but the real man. All were equal with him and spiritualism will make you extend a loving hand to your brother or sister and raise them up out of the lower elements regardless of color, race or creed, and help suffering humanity. When you are a spiritualist on a high plane you will understand all things and nothing will be hidden from you. The world's growing better; it is this divine truth that will revolutionize and bring freedom to all. It may not be while you and I live in our mortal body on this plane, but we are building a foundation for a younger generation that can never be destroyed and will stand as a memorial for many ages hence. 691 active members.

EDITORIAL SHORT STOPS Mayor Woodman is making new friends each day and no other name for Mayor is being more than whispered. Ex-Mayor Sebastian is now the proprietor of a “penny dance” and cafeteria combined, and he says he is done with politics. There is a strong probability that there will be a prominent Colored man in the rac for the City Council. As it is now there is not a single councilmgn who appeared to be interested in the Negro receiving civic jqstice. 5 The Prohibition sentiment is still strong in the City and County, and the plan of a “County unit" now before the Forty- Second Legislature is likely to receive great approbatfon in Southern California. - The State Senate has but three representatives on its force of attaches, and the Assembly, but one. Mr. J. B. Bass is the Race’s representative in the Assembly, and the credit for his appointment is Assemblyman Frank H. Mouser. This marks the third session of the California where the Race has had: but one of its members in the Assembly as an attache, and the credit of this appointment has rested with Mr. Mouser. Mr. Bass is an Assistant Sergeant at Arms, the position formerly held, by Rev. D. R. Jones and Mr. W. E. Easton. Senator Henry H. Lyon has chosen again a very excellent representative of the Race in his appointment of Mr. C. W. Wilson, who is holding the responsible position of Mailing Clerk in the Senate. The All American League in its Second Conclaye to be held at Exposition Park on the 22nd day of February, will make new and creditable history for the Race. The people of Southern California are proud of the dignity and firmness with which Lieutenant Governor W. D. Stephen’ is presiding in the Senate. ‘ Assemblyman Mouser was chosen to handle the Legislative endorsement of the Los Angeles charter amendments, and much credit is due this able and wide-awake legislatar for the celerity with which the legislative feature of the work was done. Assem- blyman Mouser will come from the Forty-Second Legislature of California with greater honors. The selection of Hon. B. O. Boothby to the very respons- ible position of chief clerk of the Assembly was an honor worthily bestowed. In the Forty-First session of the Legisla- ture,’Mr. Boothby gave the Assembly an History, daily and weekly, that could not be excellent and that never had been equalled. Of unquestioned ability as man and scholar, Mr. Boothby will and should be remembered after adjournment with a position worthy his acceptance. Watch Boothby grow! Remember that one of the features of the Second Annual Conclave of the All American League at Exposition Park will be a barbecue with meats raised on the farms and ranches of members of the Race. : The Comobabi Mining Company has organized both men and money, and as a result thereof promises to be a wondérful success. i. | The Colored eee aie font ae make as gteat a: showing as possible at the annual ¢onclave to be held in this city, Feb. 22.

We desire to extend to Editor N.’Chiles of the Topeka Plaindealer, our former co-worker, friend and foremost citizen, condolence ‘in this his sad hour of sorow, caused by the loss of his faithful companion.

This is a judg- ment from our highest tribunal, which all of the citizens of this great nationa who stand for the highest ideals of American cit- izenship will applaud. - 1 It also is a setback to those who say, there is one law for the poor and lowly and another for the rich and powerful. Owing to the high connection of these two young men it has been said that with their wealth and influence they would surely escape the penalty of the law, but not so. The law in this case was inexorable and there was no way to evade it. Justice with unerring aim found its mark and these two transgressors must pay the penalty exacted for the same. . This case was sometimes compared to the Jack Johnson case. If so, there was not one law for Jack and another for these distinguished sons of wealthy and powerful citizens. The decision of the supreme court greatly clarifies the Mann Act. Unless it is repealed, for all tims the rules have been laid and no one need err. All doubt of its.scope is removed. The law as interpreted by the court means that the traffic for immoral purposes of any kind is a crime and it is for the protection of those who have not yet been on the market as well as for those who ply the trade of prostitution : No subterfuge would lie in this case.. The supreme court has ruled that the lay means what it says, and the fate of these two young men will be a lasting lesson and no doubt be the means of making many of those who would trespass within these premises remember the fate of these men who are now perhaps on their way to join the procession behind the grim prison walls at McNeils Island. : If President Wilson should pardon Diggs and Caminetti he would again reverse himself. ge ey ee ane en eee ee eee ene ae ee eee ee HARTSOOK€@ | 33yPHOTOGRAPHS Secure one of our Special Rate orders] whieh {gives you a 60 per cent reduction forfyour Christmas photos.

Don't Forget The Big All-American Conclave. With the announcement of the All-American League that its Second Annual Conclave will be held February 22, 1917, at Exposition Park beginning early in the morning and lasting throughout the day, all interest is focusing itself on that day. While the details of the program have not been announced it is asserted by those in charge that the Second Annual Conclave will surpass even that of last February. It will be recalled by the citizens of Los Angeles and vicinity that the First Annual Conclave of the All-American League, held in Exposition Park February 22, 1916, was the biggest thing of its kind ever given in this part of the country. In addition to the tremendous tree barbecue given by the League, the program rendered was of a higher and different order than anything ever attempted heretofore. This year's conclave will include reports of the progress of the race and of inter-racial progress throughout California during the past year. There will be exhibits of the handiwork and achievements of colored citizens throughout California. Gold medals will be given to those making the best exhibits along particular lines. Certificates of Honorable Mention will be given those meritorious exhibitors in the order of their merit. The free barbecue promises to be more unique than anything of its kind ever given. All of the meat given in the barbecue will be raised entirely by colored citizens in California and all of the preparation and serving work will be done by colored citizens of the State of California and even the eating for the most part will be the work of colored citizens of the State of California. The program will include addresses by the leading colored, white and Japanese American citizens of the State. The one distinguishing feature of all the addresses will be a complete obliteration of the color line. Every organization among the race in the State will be invited to participate in the exhibits. All individuals and organizations interested in making exhibits along either of the following lines are invited to address their communications to the conclave Committee of the All-American League, care of 221 Lissner Bldg., 524 S. Spring St., Los Angeles, Calif. The exhibits will include the following range: Domestic Arts—pastry, cooking, and general house-wifery; Industrial Arts—business and commercial activities, tailoring, carpentry work, machinery, sculpturing, metal work, mining, fisheries, agriculture, horticulture, viticulture; Fine Arts and Miscellaneous. A special department of exhibits will provide for sworn statements shown the progress made by various race institutions, such as Lodge, Churches, Societies, Clubs and the like. These articles should be carefully typewritten and accompanied by pictures illustrating the same.

CHURCH AND SO TIVITIES IN CROWN CITY Mr. William Jenkins of Topeka, Kansas, is v home, 829 Cypress St. Principal Motion of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, has again struck the wrong note, in the opinion of the colored press. The Georgia Baptist confesses, for instance: That we are tired and sick of the me, too, boss, hat-in-hand "nigger." And we are also sick of the type whose dictum is: "So I get a plenty the devil take the rest of the 'niggers.'" We are constrained to believe that a serious mistake has been made in electing "Major" Moton principal of Tuskegee. He is attempting to follow the path blazed by the late Booker T. Washington when he has neither the wisdom, the ability, nor the vision to do so. First, we find him publicly rebuking his wife for riding in a Pullman car, according to The Associated Press's report, which the "Major" has never denied, and now we find him telling Negroes to refuse to accept industrial opportunities offered them in the North and to refuse to try to make better the future for themselves and for their families. So long as no industrial opportunities were offered egroes North, it was well to advise them to remain in the South, but now, with these opportunities opening more and more to our people, it is positively criminal to advise them against accepting them. A Northern colored paper, the Pittsburg Courier, says: For the reason that great men of whatever race or color advise those of lesser magnitude to seek the best individual advantages, and having found them to give the best possible service—Dr. Moton has missed an opportunity to achieve still greater personal prominence by the utterance of the advice accredited to him—that the Negro is essentially a Southern product, and should remain in the Southland, and that those who have already cast their lots in the East, the West and the North ould do well to return South. In this respect we regret that he has not measured up to the expected standard. We have hailed Dr. Moton as the standard bearer for the race, without regard to the locality in which its members may be domiciled. He should be equally as representative of the Negro of the other three points of the compass as of the Negro who is to be found in the South. His spoken word should be the result of deep thought and consideration and his doctrine apply to the Negro's condition, wherever situated. A man with the training of Dr. Moton, both North and South, should be a broad man, and one capable of attracting to his aid and assistance men from everywhere. The Alabama Urban League, of Newark, New Jersey, sends this open letter to Major Moton, signed by Miss Eva C. Alford, president, and other officers: A representative from our league, who is no stranger in and around New York City, spent much time trying to locate such alleged conditions as contained in the statement, "huddled together like pigs," and reports that such a condition does not exist and the statement is calculated to do much much harm. We, therefore, go on record as most bitterly opposing the stand you take in the matter of Negro exodus from the South, the time, place, and manner in which you expressed yourself, from and because of which great injustice will be done the entire race in America. CHURCH AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES IN THE CROWN CITY Mr. William Jenkins formerly of Topeka Kansas, is very ill at his home, 8294 Cypress St. Mr. Bob shaw of 163 Gloretta St. is reported very ill. Mr. E. M. Hollowell has opened up a neat Jittle lunch room and restaurant for the accommodation of his many friends, at 21 W. Green St. Mr. Miller, one of the most active workers of the First A. M. E. Church is busy as usual, is this time preparing to surprise church goers with a new feature in concert work. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Zion of 157 Glorietta St., are keenly in sympathy with them in their siege. Among the Eagle's new subscribers for the week are. E. M. Hollowell, R. Williams, Mrs. R. H. Hunter. WATTS NEWS The Grant A. M. E. Church began its Sunday services with a goodly representation of young and old people at Sunday School. At the appointed hour Rev. Trigg began his sermon, and each one could witness how much more we could do if we would only try. The Christian Endeavor almost seems like a Bible School, everybody trying to gain more knowledge of God's word. At 8 p. m. Rev. Trigg again filled the pulpit, and after the services everybody went home having gained more knowledge and strength for the ensuing week. Mr. Cummings on Thaxter St., visited his wife in Santa Barbara for a few days. Mrs. Henton from Santa Paula Cal., spent several days with her relative, Mrs. Beeks, on Compfon Ave. Mrs. Fox who has been very sick is much better now. Mrs. George Warner spent Sunday afternoon visiting her friends. Mrs. Gordon on Villa Ave., was visiting in the city on Sunday. We are very sorry to learn that Mrs. Niron on Compton Ave., is going to move back to Los Angeles. Bev. Ramsey and wife, dined on Sunday with Mrs. Weaver. Mrs. Gale on Thaxter St., has had a very sick baby. Watts' Christian Club are like so many bees, trying to help and cause sunshine wherever they can. When people praised them for their gift while visiting the sick, they said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." BLYTHE NEWS We were surprised Tuesday to see real snow fall here. It lasted for four hours, and was witnessed by many natives who had never seen snow before. We are pleased to have with us, Mr. Bellsinger, an Ex-Businessman of Los Angeles. He expects to open up a business here, as soon as he is properly located. Many good opportunities stand open for people with means to operate business, for we are without Hotelé, 'Rooming-houses, and many other businesses of which we are greatly in need. When you come, be prepared to do business, and you will be welcomed by all. A Record Breaker. At a record breaking meeting of the Comobabi Mines Co., stockholders held at Roberts parlors, Tuesday night, one thousand fifty-five dollars was raised in thirty-two minutes. This is the final amount of the money needed for the machinery. A full account of the machinery operation will appear in next week's issue. Prof. Geo. M. McChellen of Louisville, KY, was called to Los Angeles on Friday last on account of the serious illness of his son, Theodore." Readers Attention Are you satisfied with working all your life at starvation wages and keeping your nose to the grindstone? Why not seek independence and comfort in life? There are many ways to attain it if you only know how. All you need is an opportunity to get into a legal and honest money-making enterprise on the ground floor and at the right time and you are in the road to success. This is Your Opportunity-The Chance of Your Life to join us in the Oil Land Development Industry—the greatest money-making industry of today. Small investors have made and are still making fabulous profits from oil and oil lands. In many instances small investors have made from $50 to $500 for every dollar invested. You can have the game opportunity if you will accept our cooperation. This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit-earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person to whose attention this announcement comes. It offers an opportunity for you to invest a large or small sum in a sane, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large oil lots and an interest in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit-sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil as well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have been sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investors will have the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells, to sell their land for just as much or more. We have only one thousand shares in all), (each share consists of eight lots, being one-fourth of an acre,) therefore the profit for each share will be large. The following illustration will show the profit each investor will receive out of a certain number of barrels at the present price of oil: Should our first well prove to be a 5,000 barrel producer, then each share of eight lots will receive $150 a month and should the first four wells produce 20,000 barrels, then each share of eight lots will receive $600 a month.
