ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 29 A CAL Hundreds will hear "the Fighting Parson" Sunday afternoon, 2:30 o'clock when he delivers his sensational sermon on "Demon Worship or the Spirit World Unmasked," at the big Pasadena Gospel Tabernacle, South Raymond avenue. Great thronghs have attended nightly the old time revival meetings, at Evangelist McPherson's big Gospel tabernacle, South Raymond avenue, near Bellevue drive, and listened to powerful Gospel messages by "Singing Ned," Evangelist R. H. Wade. It can be truly said that Reverend Wade is preaching as never before and the folks are hearing him gladly. The recently organized Baptist Evangelistic team, consisting of the following well known ministers, Dr. W. H. Tillman, Rev. R. H. Wade, Rev. W. M. H. Dickerson, the sweet singer, and the Fighting Parson, Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, will hold a series of evangelistic campaigns throughout Southern California, under the auspices of the Baptist ministers. Dr. McPherson was chosen evangelistic secretary. The object of the evangelistic team is to go among the struggling churches to assist the pastors to put new vim and spirit into the people, to hold evangelistic campaigns, to hold Bible and institutes for ten days. The first of the meetings will begin tomorrow Sunday at the Fighting Parsons' great tabernacle, with three big services and commencing with morning prayer at 11 o'clock. The afternoon service promises to be of unusual interest, as the indications point that hundreds of white and Colored, saints and sinners, will crowd the big tabernacle, to hear the sensational sermon on the subject of "Demon Worship on the Spirit World Unmasked." This will be an exposure of the pernicious doctrine of spiritualism. Evangelist Dickerson will have charge of the big choir, and Dr. W. H. Tilman, the old war horse in Zion, preaches at the evening hour. As next week will be a great reunion of the Baptist forces of Southern California, under the auspices of the Los Angeles Baptist Ministers' Union, President R. H. Rozier and the various pastors will have charge with their choirs each evening, so let the Baptist and Christian workers of every creed come up to the help of the Lord, and make this one of the greatest revivals ever witnessed here in the Crown city. Dr. McPherson is being wonderfully used of the Lord. The sick and suffering are being healed daily, and those that are suffering, evil spirits are being relieved and are going forth happy in their new found freedom. If you are sick, or in trouble, come and see this wonderful man of God and he will do you good. Surely Dr. McPherson is the mystery of the twentieth century. You will find him daily at the tabernacle, 391 South Raymond ave., Pasadena, Cal. The people of the Crown city will hold a monster centennial celebration in honor of the birth of Frederick Douglass, "the old man eloquent." Monday evening, February 12, a monster Lincoln-Douglass day celebration will be held at the big Gospel tabernacle, South Raymond avenue, near Bellevue drive, to commemorate the centennial of the Negro Race's greatest leader, "The Old Man Eloquent" Frederick Douglass, the grandest old Roman of them all. The monster celebration will be under the joint auspices of both Races, as they will honor the memory of two of the greatest Americans that ever lived. While the memory of the martyred President, Abraham Lincoln, will even be revered as the great emancipator of the Negro Race, who died that the Negro Race might be free and that slavery would be ripped off the statutes of the American constitution, it is that "Black Son of Thunder" Frederick Donglass, whose burning eloquence awakened the nation's sleeping conscience to support ```markdown ``` The California Eagle Father Abraham and made it possible to break the shackles from four million human beings with one stroke of his pen. The story of these immortal chieftains will be told and retold in song, story and oratory by gifted sons of both Races. Dr. Glenn McWilliams and Prof. W. Edgar Easton, one of the greatest Negro novelists, the author of "Christophe," will tell of his personal recollection of Fred Douglass back in New Bedford, Mass., while Mrs. C. Spear-Bass, the editor of The California Eagle, will tell of the Race's mighty achievements during a half century of freedom, while "Daddy" L. C. Luke will represent the former slave and give a reminiscent talk of the bygone dark days of slavery. The Grand Army will also be represented. Music will be furnished by sweet voiced Colored jubilee singers. The program will be announced in full in these columns next issue. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson is chairman of the committee and this is sufficient to say that neither time or expense will be spared to make the celebration a record-breaking event. All patriotic citizens and Race men and the loyal women are invited to come to Pasadena and make the Douglass centennial day celebration a big success. At the close of the program a "Booker T. Washington Total Abstinence League" will be organized. Light refreshments will be served. Music will be furnished by the G. A. R. drum corps. In order to reach the tabernacle take the Pasadena Short Line car and get off at Center and Fair Oaks, after 7 p. m., and walk one block to Raymond avenue. Come and bring your wife or sweetheart along. "WATCH YOUR STEP" In view of the fact that some little two by four marplot has seen fit to advance the information that I have resigned as pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, which is not in accord with the truth, I take this medium to answer the queries on the lips of an awfully deceived public. The A. M. E. Zion church is marching to the tune of progress and singing a song of joy. She is shattering all previous records and causing eyes that were once suffused with tears to gleam with hope. She is asking no quarter and giving none but in the name of her Great Leader defying all obstacles and enemies. Above her portals waves a banner weaved with the threads of real constructive labor and achievement, and beneath this glorious escutcheon stands an army of devout, courageous, and earnest soldiers second to none in the city of Los Angeles, lifting the sword of a noble purpose and undying determination. Why should I resign? Not a man in the city enjoys any three squarer meals in one day. Not a laborer in the divine vineyard gazes upon any fruit more luscious. Not a farmer has ever gathered a harvest more glorious. Not a Minister in the country is treated with any more consideration by his people. Never have the fires of hope and inspiration burned any brighter. I wish to say that this is a malicious, vile and mawkish falsehood, and that the originator has a heart so vile that if they knocked at the door of the infernal regions Old Nick would send them down so deep that if they had the lung power of a ton of gunpowder Dives couldn't hear them squeal for water to parch their tongue. Benjamin C. Robeson resign? My dear sinner, you missed your man. I was sent here by God Almighty and God's men never leave until their tasks have been performed. What you mean is that you want something to come in and stop Zion's Beulah bound warriors as they cry out victory, but I warn you now that we shall not falter a single inch as regards our determination and defy you and all the others wolves of Hell to impede our journey. You have had your day and your sun is set- San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland 9 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 ting, and before you face the bar of God I admonish you to cry out with David, "Restore unto me, O God, the joy of my salvation." The A. M. E. Zion church will live as long as God lives and mortal creatures walk the sunlit paths of Los Angeles. B. C. Robeson came here at God's command and only that will cause him to lay his armor down. REV. B. C. ROBESON. FAVORABLE REPORT ON THE ELDORADO GOLD STAR MINING CO.

Lines to Madame Florence Cole Talbert By Eva Carter Buckner How glad thy returning, how welcome thou art; We greet thee as greeting the spring. You venture to rival the sweet warbling birds, The nightingale's song you dare sing. In silence and rapture we list to thy voice; Ah! Would we could have you alway. But thou, like the migrating birds that we love Must sing your sweet song, then away! Sing on gifted charmer, sing on joyous one! Thy voice to the world doth belong. As zephyr's waft perfume, the message you give— Is borne on the wings of your song. Frederick Douglass Memoria Celebration. All clubs in bodies with club colors and the public at large are urged to be present Monday evening Feb. 12th, at the First A. M. E. Church, when a rousgood program under auspices of the California State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will be held. Come prepared to help to save and beautify the Frederick Douglass Home. RACE LENDS POLY. QUARTER-MILER Poly has at last been convinced that she has long been behind in that she has for a long time artfully barred our students from athletics. We haven't been able to discover who did the convincing, but we do know that Lucian Blackwell has become at Poly what Baker is at Manual. Besides earning his football letter, Blackwell is out for track and may prove a sensation in the 440 yard dash. A SUGGESTION TO Young men all over Southern California are beginning to show deep interest in athletics. They want opportunities for competition. The Y. M. C. A. wants their membership. Why not compromise? If the "Y." would offer such opportunities, and guarantee them and make inducements along competitive athletics, the boys would take a greater interest by 100 per cent. in the organization. JIM HUNT Poor old Jim Hunt and his team seem to be down and out. He can't sign any good men and if he does their ability seems to "wane and pass away." The Giants have had every opportunity to make good and have failed. Maybe they need what the Angels had to get in Dillon's place. Nineteen-Year-Old Myrtle Anderson Defends Race. By request of club women of the city we are publishing this address of Miss Anderson which was published in the issue of January 20 in the Chicago Defender. The club women felt that this address should be published in the local papers and more widely read. Miss Anderson Answers Degrad ing Speech of White Student This address was made by Myrtle Anderson, a high school student of Los Angeles Cal., 19 years of age, in reply to an address made by a white young man student of the same class. The young man made a violent attack on the Negro Race and boastfully advocated the lynch law: Miss Nichols and my Fellow Students: In answer to Mr. Morrissey's address I wish to comment on his attack on the Negro Race. First, I want to impress upon your minds that I do not and shall not uphold the Negro Race in any of its faults; but shall give facts and justice to whom justice is due. As Mr. Morrissey stated that he was voicing the sentiments of his race, so shall I voice the sentiments of my Race. In the creation all men were created equal and alike. From the dust of the earth came forth the human family—no black, no yellow, no red but the family of the Divine Creator, the giver of all good and perfect gifts. You are forced to admit, Mr. Morrisssey, fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Time brings about many changes, for instance, when your forefathers and my forefathers lived on the banks of the Nile, happy and contented. History tells us they were all of one color and desirous of going beyond their confines, they forsook the Nile, some going north; some going west; some going east; and some going south. Those going north into a climate chilled by snow and cutting winds made it possible that they should be fair with flaxen hair and blue eyes. Those going west where the climate was not so severe was responsible, for their olive hue. Those going east where the rays of sunbeam brought another skin and texture of hair. Those going south where the sun in all its grandeur and beauty sending down its silvery waves in all its effulgency, became the black man. But remember, Mr. Morrisssey, all of one flesh, of one blood and of one nativity—the Nile. Not a White Man's Country As you so boastfully say, this is a white man's country—I stand ready to dispute every inch of your claim. When Columbus landed on this great American continent did he find its shores lined with white men to welcome him? No, and a thousand times no. But instead he found the red man and in full possession. Did this great land of wealth and plenty remain in the hands of the red man very long after the advent of the white man? No. But through his trickery and cunning devices he robbed him of his wigwam, and his happy hunting ground. Let me bring it closer home than the days of Columbus and the red man. Just across the border the white man has robbed the Mexican of his fertile soil and his rich yielding mines. In his fiendish greed for conquest he has been the means of untold suffering and deprivation; and yet his unrestrained arm goes on, supported by the army and navy of the U. S. and yet you call this a white man's country. The first blood spilled upon American soil flowed from the wounds of a Negro to free these shores from the yoke of Great Britain and to plant the stars and stripes. The Negroes' voices have mingled with his white brother, THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 51 singing "My Country "Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty." He has been inspired by the rattle of the drum and the blowing of the fife rolling out its war tune. The black man's soul has been stirred to its very depths by the sound of the "Star Spangled Banner." It was a gallant charge of the black man that saved Old Glory from trailing in the dust at San Juan Hill, when his brothers in white were falling to the right and to the left; but the black man, indifferent of impending dangers, came up in the thickest of the fray, singing, "There Will Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." And there was a hot time in that old town. Ask Colonel Roosevelt. Again the Negro has given account in the battle of Vicksburg under the command of General Grant. After unsuccessful attacks with white troops being beaten on every hand by General Farraqaut in command of the Confederate troops, General Grant asked for Negro troops. And can you imagine the astonishing results? Down came the flag of the Confederacy and the planting of the Stars and Stripes. Was it not through the untiring efforts of the black man that another victory as won, when the efforts of his white comrades had failed? But we see no glowing tribute of his bravery and valor in the histories of today. But the fact remains so. Never Lacked Courage or Valor In the battles of Gettysburg and New Orleans the black man never lacked courage or valor, but shed his life's blood for his freedom and citizenship. But does he enjoy it? No. Like other things his brother in white robbed him of his standing as a rightful citizen. Would not your dear mother hang her head in shame to know that her boy, the pride of her life the happiness of her future, should advocate lynch law for Negroes? Would not that mother by that one single utterance of her darling son, see him lose prestige and standing in the eyes of the fair minded men and women in this and other communities? Why was the whole world thrown into convulsions when Leo Frank was lynched for his dastardly crime against little Mary Phelan; and at least a dozen more crimes put to his credit? Because his skin was white. And I would advise as a cure for this narrowness and prejudice an expansion of mind. Why did not the people of Chino, Cal., lynch Rev. Slaughter for his dastardly crime against 15 year old Mary Lawson? Was it because he as better than his brother in black in crime? Oh, no! But because the laws of the land protected him. But the day is fast approaching when there will be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. May God hasten the day. Why did not the people of Los ngeles seek to take the life of Kilfoil by lynching him? Was it because his crime did not merit death? Or because the Holy Bible says "Thou shalt not kill?" Or because his crime was of a minor nature? No. Let us go into detail. After robbing the promising little rosebud of its sweetness and purity and leaving her a public charge and forever putting a social blight on her life; not satisfied after accomplishing his fiendish desire, then leaving her to face the cold, cold world alone, unprotected and soon to become a mother of his child sought to have her aid him in cold and wilful murder. Can you imagine anything so heinous? Did Kilfoil deserve summary punishment? What the Churches are Doing JESUS THE LIFE AND THE LIGHT OF MEN January 7 — john 1:14. An Epitomized Statement of the Entire Divine Plan of the Age —The Logos—A God with the God—The Great Honor and Dignity of the Sons of God—Everything is of the Father, Through the Son—The Light Still Shining in the Darkness—Even Yet the Darkness Comprehends it Not. “In Him was life; and the life was the life of men.” Verse 4. Reaching far back into the past, from before the creation of the earth as mentioned in Genesis, and down into the future, to the grand consummation of the Divine plan at the close of the millennial age, our lesson is an epitomized statement of the entire plan of God in most comprehensive form, wide enough, deep enough, to furnish food for thoughts for a score of lessons. In considering it as a whole, therefore, we can touch only briefly upon its various points at this time. Verse 1. In the beginning. These same words introduce us to the Bible as the record of the earth's creation in the book of Genesis. But in today's study the reference is to a beginning long before the creation of the earth. At the beginning mentioned in Genesis, the Lord tells us, "the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." (Job 38:4-7.) There were at that time angelic beings, "sons of God," who rejoiced at the further manifestation of Divine power in the creation of the world. But there must have been a beginning, so far as they were concerned, long before; and it is to this beginning that our lesson refers—a beginning before the angels were created. This beginning is not the beginning of the Divine Being's existence, for respecting the Heavenly Father, Jehovah God, the Almighty, we have the distinct statement that from everlasting to everlasting He is God. He has no beginning. (Psalm 90:2; 106:48.) Hence the beginning mentioned in verse 1 refers neither to man nor angels nor to the Father, but to "the beginning of the creation of God" (Rev. 3:14)—a name or title given to the Only Begotten of the Father, the One who subsequently became our Redeemer and Lord—Jesus Christ. With this thought in mind all is clear. The Apostle's explanation has settled the matter. This original One or beginning of the creation of God is in verse 1 called the Word of God—the Logos. History informs us that in olden times it was customary to regard the king's person as too sacred to be seen by common people except under special occasions and that when certain great laws or edicts were to be announced it was customary for the king to be screened by a lattice from the gaze of the multitude assembled, while before the lattice stood a person who enjoyed the king's favor and confidence, and who therefore became his representative. This person was called the king's word because he spoke in a loud voice the commands and directions of the king, who communicated within im in a low tone from behind the lattice. This illustration gives us a clue to the use of the term Word as one of the titles of the Only Begotten Son of God, and suggests what the Scriptures variously declare—that all of the Father's dealing with all others of His creatures are done indirectly through the Son, His Mouthpiece, His Word, His Representative. A Misleading Translation. In the beginning, St. John tells us, the Word was alone with the Father. The thought is still more clearly seen when we take the literal reading of the Greek mss., for in them the Greek article appears before the word rendered God in the second clause. This would make the English translation properly read, "And the Word was with the God." Here we see most clearly and beautifully the close relationship existing in the very remote past between the Heavenly Father and the Heavenly Son, between the Almighty God and His Only Begotten Son, in whom centered all the Divine purposes and through whom Jehovah God was pleased to manifest every feature of the Divine power and glory. The next statement of verse 1 "And the Word was God," is not to be understood as contradicting the statement previously made, for the distinction is considerably lost in the translation. In this last clause the Greek article does not appear before the word translated God, hence the thought in the statement is that of a God, as in contrast with the previous one—the God. Thus understood the passage would properly read; "The Word was with the God, and the Word was a God." Ah, now we have the original thought clearly expressed. The word God signifies might one; and in the Scripture it is used not only in respect to the Father, but also in respect to the Son, also in respect to angels and to men. In one instance it is used in reference to the seventy elders of Israel whom Moses appointed, and who in the original Hebrew are designated elohim-gods, mighty ones, (Ps. 86:8, Exod. 7:1; 22:28). In all these references the word translated god or gods is in the Hebrew Elohim mighty ones. Note St. Paul's sanction of the last quotation as meaning the judges of Israel, in Acts 23:5. Verse 3 is a grand, comprehensive statement, which gives us a glimpse of the great honor and dignity of the Son of God, "the Only Begotten of the Father," "the beginning of the creation of God." All things were made by Him—by the Logos, the Word. He made angels, worlds, mankind—"all things." "Without Him was not one thing made that was made." How grandly, how gloriously, the dignity, the honor and the position of our great Lord looms up before us as we think of the high exaltation with which the Father had honored Him even before He came into the world, even before He manifested His obedience to the Father's will unto death itself. FIRST A, M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Towne Avenue Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor Sunday proved to be another glorious day at First church. Two splendid congregations assembled and heard the pastor in the delivery of two sermons. There were seven accessions to our church membership. Four of these were converted at the morning service. Prof. Hahn, owner and manager of the Hahn Jubilee Concert Company, assisted the choir in the rendition of several beautiful selections. "The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up" seems to be a truism with the parishioners of First church and the young folks and middle-aged folks as well as the old, are becoming more zealously affected than ever before. You are welcome to our services Sunday. Beautiful music by our grand full choir at each service. Sunday, February 4th, is Communion day. The pastor will preach morning"and evening and administer the Lord's Supper. Morning theme, "Our Hope;" evening theme, "Transgressions." Everybody welcome. Come early to get a good pew. All auxiliary and church activities pointing to our grand Easter rally will begin at once now and be carried on enthusiastically until that eventful day. Get ready to do your full duty. Watch for "The Heart of the Hero" by the "A. B. O. U. T. Club" of First church. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH 1406 Newton Street Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor Two splendid congregations greeted the pastor on the past Sabbath and the services were very interesting and helpful. The pastor finished his series of sermons on the general rules of the church at the morning service and also gave some very good news to the congregation. The choir rendered their regular monthly concert on Sunday night to a crowded house and all went away well pleased with what they had heard. The work of enlarging the church for the new organ is now under way and it will not be long before we will have one of the most attractive and best equipped churches in the city. The ladies of Board No. 1 gave a very delightful house social at the home of Mrs. J. H. Jamison on Mateo street on Monday night and quite a company gathered to enjoy the hospitality of the ladies. The ladies of Board No. 2 gave a house social at the home of Mrs. C. S. Brown on East 33rd Street on Tuesday night and a nice party gathered and partook of refreshments served by the ladies. Sunday is the regular communion day and the pastor and officers are expecting the membership out in large numbers to commune. The Epworth League continues to grow in interest and attendance. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE The public is cordially invited to come and worship with us. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday marked one of the most interesting services for some time, every auxiliary has put on new life, and the congregation seem to be imbued with a zeal given by power divine. Dr. Gordon preached two powerful sermons filled with logic and far reaching. Every one enjoyed this spiritual treat. Doctor's armor bearers are always at their post and render such valuable services that much burden is lifted from his shoulders and he can ascend the rostrum with his soul stripped of its vanities and all his passions bare to the finest influences of truth and beauty. The choir will soon have a splendid orchestra added and then the welkin will ring with music, symphonious, grand. This choir is destined in the near future to be one of the best in the Golden West. The Sunday School is equal to any in the city. The superintendent is one of the foremost ones in Los Angeles. He is carrying his Sunday School to the highest pinnacle of proficiency. More anon. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma Streets The Union Revival is adding to the congregation of Zion. Bro. Denny, a retired soldier who was 30 years in the army of Uncle Sam, comes with us and joins the army of Our Lord and Saviour, he says for the rest of his days on the earth. This is our second retired (30 year) army man who has membership in our church, emphasizing the fact that Zion draws army men of uncle Sam. The Union revival is and has proven a success in the fullest sense, such a shaking up was good indeed for our city. Next Sunday our pastor will talk at 11 a.m. services on "The Great Teacher." At 8 p.m. his subject will be, "A Christian Out of Place." Last Sunday our Pastor was at his best in a masterly sermon. He dwelt upon the subject of church-going, spoke of those members who neglect the class room for lodge meetings, etc., also those members who are trying to go to heaven who attend just the one service for the entire Sabbath and who never come out to class meeting at all. He wound up by saying, "Of course I can't reach you into hell or heaven when you die under such circumstances. I will simply leave you in the air." It will be a sorry day for some. So begin now to come out to class Wednesday evening at 8 p.m. also. Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. Sunday. Classes for old and young. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Cor. 8th and Wall Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor Another Sunday brought tidings of great joy to the members and friends of the Independent Church of Christ. Tidings sent from the fountain that never runs dry and delivered by the messenger who shares his part of the blessings of God with all who come under the sound of his voice. The usual large and enthusiastic congregation filled the hall. The sermons preached by the pastor, both morning and evening, were glorious. During the latter the attention of those present was called to their record on high, each one having a book of their own to scan page by page, but not one having a book with out some blotted pages. The songs, "Get on Board, Little Children," and "Steal Away to Jesus" added glory to the day's meeting and all went to their homes rejoicing. Next Sunday being the first Sunday a big day is expected. If you don't come at all you will have cause to regret. The First Quarterly Conference met in session last Monday night at the Christian church. The reports from every department of the church were grand and only prove to us that we will ever go onward and upward. The reports show that we have raised during this quarter $2,519.62 and have a balance of $1,309.20. A membership of 510. We purpose to enter the New Church the first Sunday in March. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street and Central Ave. E. E. Lightner, Pastor Inspiring services were enjoyed throughout the day by all who worshipped at this church on last Sunday. The pastor's theme at the morning service was "The Use of What We Have." Rev. Howard Folke brought the message at the evening service taking as his text: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness." The pastor will fill the pulpit at both services on next Sunday. Subject for the morning: "Lazarus at the Table." At the evening service there will be the celebration of the Lord's Supper. Let every member be present. Strangers cordially welcomed. Christian Endeavor, 6:30 p. m., m. topic, "Visions and Tasks." Joel*2:28, 29; 2nd Chron, 34:1-7. You are invited. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Services at Wesley M. E.

Last Sunday at the Christian Church Bro. Williams preached in the morning, and Bro. Hopper in the evening. Both brought gospel messages to their listeners. The Endeavor services were unusually good. There was a debate the subject being, Resolved: That Pilate, governor of Judes, was guilty and respynsible for the death of Christ Affirmative: Bro. Coleman and Williams; Negative: Bro. A. Turnage and Sister Alma Wila. The Negative won the day, and all the speakers did well. Atty. Kelly was present, and in the speech which he gave us, said that we had the liveliest and most wide-awake Endeavor he had ever attended, and of course we felt very proud.

M. Edwards by her sister, Mrs. M. L. Gottschalk. On the above date 45 friends gathered at the residence of Mrs. C. F. Graves, of East Pico street, and from there wended their way to the home of Mrs. J. M. Edwards. On arriving they made their presence known by singing. Mrs. Edwards, curious to know what was going on on the outside, opened the door. Her gaze fell upon the 45 smiling and cheering faces. To say she was greatly surprised is putting it mildly. Some of the participants on the splendid program rendered were Mrs. C. C. Lewis, Prof. W. T. Wilkins, Mr. Robert Mason, Miss Beatrice Hammond, Miss Hazel Gottschalk, Mrs. Ada Jackson, on behalf of the Iroquois Friday Morning Social and Civic Club, presented Mrs. Edwards with a beautiful silver punch ladle. Mrs. Edwards responded with words beitling the occasion. Delicious refreshments were served in abundance and a happy crowd departed wishing Mrs. Edwards many more years of health, long life and prosperity. As she bid them good-night her voice, amid tears and smiles, was still saying: "It is a shame; why did you not tell me?" Keep off the date of Feb. 13th. Friday Morning Club Meets The Friday Morning Iroquois Social and Civic Club met at the residence of Mrs. C. Graves, 1930 E. Pico St., with Mrs. R. Young acting as hostess.

H WILLIAMS HOSTESSES AT AN AFTERNOON Thursday afternoon at the pretty little home of Mrs. C. P. Williams of 1522 E. Adams St., about forty ladies responded to an invitation extended by Mrs. H. H. Williams who with Mrs. C. P. Williams wanted to pay homage to Mrs. Pansy Whitlock, Mrs. Brishears, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. John Wilson, and Mrs. Wrenn Reed, all of whom have but recently returned from extended Southern and Eastern trips. The affair which was social in name turned out to be a most interesting review of racial conditions in different sections of our country visited by these ladies. Mrs. Brishears and Mrs. Whitlock visited relatives and friends in the big state of Texas. While Mrs. John Wilson went direct to her home town, New Orleans, and the country district round about that city. These ladies, who visited the states of Texas and Louisiana impressed their hearers upon this occasion with their keen sensitive powers of close observation. Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Brishear and Mrs. Whitlock gave narratives of the trip from Los Angeles to their destination in lively fashion. They painted in part of the cruel prejudice of both sides of the picture telling the South as it is practiced through the medium of Jim Crow cars and other public utilities. They also spoke of the Jim Crow Negro, whom they firmly believe is responsible for this condition. Mrs. Wrenn Reed then described her trip through the Middle West and the East. Her narrative was exceedingly refreshing, but not more interesting in detail than were the visits through the South. Mrs. Reed had post cards which she passed in describing her visits to points of historical interest, through the large Eastern and, Western cities, including New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D. C. Mrs. C. P. Williams, Mrs. H. H. Williams, proved to be not only thoughtful, but sweet Christian hostesses, whose objects Christian hostess, whose objects are to lift the standard of social functions in this community. After a dainty collation had been served, as each guest would pass out the honored guest presented each person with a little white flower, which is said to have been the idea of Mrs. Whitlock, sister-in-law of Mrs. H. H. Williams. Just as the ladies were about to leave, Mrs. H. H. and Mrs. C. P. Williams stepped forward and asked, "May we repeat in concert. 'And now, may the Lord watch between me and thee.'" And the ladies all departed, thinking, thinking. Persons having business with me or wishing to interview me can do so at the offices of Sydney P. Dones, 1141 East Eleventh St. Los Angeles, on February 21, 22, 23 and 24. OSCAR HUDSON Attorney-at-Law Liberian Consul. The Young Peoples' Missionary Society met at the bone of Mrs. J. H. Eldridge last Sunday a week ago, and elected their officers. The new President, Miss Pearl Reed, requests that all the members who have been a little irregular in attendance will please be present at our next meeting, which will be held on Sunday Feb. 11, 1917, at 3 p. m., at the place where they met last, and be numbered with the regulars. Friends and visitors (of whom we hope we have many) are always welcome. MOTHER WILLIAMS LAID TO REST At the Tabernacle Baptist church Monday at one o'clock a gathering that filled the house came out to pay the last respect to Mother Williams as she was called by all who knew and loved her. The Tabernacle choir was assisted by the Second Baptist choir and excellent music was rendered that was befitting for the solemn occasion. A very timely obituary was read by Mrs. J. D. Gordon and the life and Christian character of Mrs. Williams was vividly painted in a beautiful word picture. Mrs. Williams was born at Shrieveport, La., but has lived in Los Angeles for the past 12 years. She reared a beautiful family of eight children, and passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. Willingham, Feb. 5. Dr. J. D. Gordon, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church, who delivered the eulogy took for his text, "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be as his," and beautifully described the Christian life that had departed to the beyond. conditions, monetary and otherwise, offered to resign. The church in its regular meeting agreed to the conditions and accepted the resignation, granting him the following letter: Feb. 1, 1917. Whereas, Rev. J. M. Riddle, pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church, has offered his resignation to take effect the first Monday in May, 1917, and Whereas, He has been the pastor of this church going on three years, and Whereas, He, having served us faithfully and honorably during that period, we do now as a church, by vote express ourselves as having the highest appreciation for him and his services as a pastor and commend him to the favorable consideration of THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Until further notice we will deliver exactly TEN EACH DAY of these rockers—one to a purchaser—at the above price.

The Glee Club-will sit at the Washington Street Methodist church next Sunday evening.

ALWAYS LOYAL In every crucial period through which this country has passed no class of its citizenship has been more loyal than the members of the Negro race. Even as they stood in bondage at parade rest as soldiers in the Revolutionary: War, when to Gen, Washington was handed the sword of Cornwallis in to- ken of surrender of the British cause, or when they exhibited the greatest valor with Perry at Lake Erie, and with Jackson at New Orleans, or when in the dark days of the rebellion, when at the call of President Lincoln, the answer was echoed back, “We are with you, Father Abraham, 150,000 strong,” or when the cause of the American arms hung in the balance in the Spanish-American war at San Juan Hill and El Caney, the black troopers ‘singing “There will be a hot time in the Old Town tonight,” rushed the hills and saved the day for the American arms, and even so at Carrizal he gave up his life's blood for the honor of American arms—that same loyalty is a part and parcel of this race today, and notwithstanding the gross neglect of his rights as an American citizen, no class of its citizenship will ever be more loyal to his country’than this people. And even now, should this country (as it seems probable that it will) go to war, our only answer is, “the Ne- gro is always loyal, even unto the end.” pee OUR THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY This issue of the California Eagle marks our thirtieth mile- stone, and while it has been only of late years that it has suc- ceeded in coming into its own it has all these years stood on the watchtower as a mighty sentinel, guarding the destiny of the race in this section of this country. We shall not go into a general review of the vicissitudes through which we have passed as we shall elaborate on this throughout the year until this date, 1918., We have designated jthis year as our anniversary year. We will issue a monster an- niversary editidn as this paper is strongly entrenched with an established circulation in all sections of this great state we shall meet with our clientage and celebrate our thirtieth anniversary. So look out for the soaring eagle as it celebrates its thirtieth year in journalism. Those optimists who believed and'voted for \Voodrow Wil- son because they did not want war should conclude that med- dlesome verbosity has results without intentions. Ex-President Taft now advises conscription with the min- imum age at 19. We hope this will not be necessary. In the event of war, the Negro will be found defending American institutions, and probably, as in Mexico, as he was in the Revolutionary War, he will be the first of American soldiers to give up his life. Lt. Governor Stephens made an excellent impression on the people of the North. Aside from his native dignityp he as- sumed no airs and was as he has always been, a plain unassum- ing man, 5 ‘ Well, the Immigration Bill was passed over the veto of the President, and Japan feels very sore. . We do not want war; but, in the event war comes, we will loyally support the cause of our common country. We notice since the Kaiser declared the blockade you can purchase three pounds of “frijoles” for a ‘quarter. Sunday all Christian churches will offer prayer in the United States invoking Divine aid to ward off the great calamity of war. Letvall of our race churches do likewise, for in the event of a war with Germany the Negro soldier would be the first as usual to offer up his life in defense of American institu- tions. , There ate today-in the United States one million seven hundred thousand American citizens of African descent who wotild be subject to the first conscription should Congress take the advice ot, Ex-President Taft. But we dare say with equal ‘opportunity to officer their own troops, the Negro would come to the colors:as speedily as the-white citizen. who has every- thing to gain, m ve oo y shes “". "The blackman if-anything is loyal, and we want to see this loyalty rewarded by equal citizenship. We idg not believe the, loyalty of Labor Unions has been at all'strgngthened by the broken promises ‘of the Democratic president and his Congress. It is not in the schemé of human nature to love those who abuse us, who maltreat us and refuse us justice. We hope that out of the recent loyal conduct of the Negro in Mexico’ will spring a keener appreciation for the Negro as an American citi- uae a Get your exhibit ready for the All American Conclave.

The official heads of the State, City and County Govern- ment have been invited to be present _at the Second Annual Conclave of the All-American League, February 22nd; at Expo- sition Park, not to make political talks but to expound the re- sponsibility of Government-to the people and the citizen, obli- gation to: American ideals. These responsible heads of Gov- ernment will learn first hand of the personal worth oi-the col-’ ored citizen who simply demands the same Tights he himself enjoys. . The effort the All American League is making to show the “efficiency of the race in civic development at its second annual Conclave, should receive the generous approval and support of every race-loving person in the State of California ‘This ef- fort is not for political purposes, and since the birth of the League it has given no evidence of being such. *Though un- fortunatel there are some narrow-minded ‘people who them- selves were never known to do a single thing without a. sinister motive, can neither understand nor appreciate manliness in an- other. The All American League, opposing all racial discrimin- ation in American citizenship, stands for a principle that must underlie the true spirit of patriotism that knows neither race, classes nor national derivations.

LAWS, Business Manager SAN DIEGO NEWS Mrs. Eva Smith, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. M. T. Laws and Mrs. Brooks comprised a party at Tia Juana, Mexico, last Tuesday. In their new gowns and furs, you would have thought that they were going to Vernon Castle ball. They were given a box seat at Tia Juana through the courtesy of the officials where they were the center of attraction, and viewed the sport of the king. Parties may come and parties may go, but their appearance will live in the eyes of the spectators forever. Mr. Will Nash, assisted by Miss Annie Mulholland, tuned Mrs. Goodwin's piano at 3050 Martin Ave. The job was entirely satisfactory, but Mr Harry Hall says Mr. Nash is in the heart-tuning business as well. Mrs. E. M. G. Mulholland is on sick list. Mrs. V. L. Goodwin gave an entitlement, Thursday night at home on Martin avenue for the benefit of the Carnation Club, of the Zion church. It was a success. OUR HENRY There is warm blood in the veins of Henry Ford. He has been classed hitherto as a peace-at-a Miss Emma Mulholland, with her charming looks, has created a great jealousy on the hill among the young smart set. There is an old saying, when you are trying to shake your old beau, "I tried to forget you, but I couldn't." If you love me, say so; if you don't, write. The "Early Risers" sure had some entertainment last Friday night. "Spirits Moving" was the great secret fathomed out by a certain young man after many hours of pondering. He was advised not to say "let me see" when he was in a dark room. Old fashioned games were played to the delight of every one. Refreshments were served. The "Can't Beat it" club promises to have another even more successful Thursday evening; Miss Ezzonia Mulholland, President. The Acme Social Club was entertained last Thursday night by Miss Hunter. Election of officers for the ensuing term was held. Detalis will be given in next issue. Mrs. J. R. Kinsey, of Los Angeles, was a visitor in our city the past week, and was the guest of her son, Mr. Reedy Chapman, to see her third granddaughter, Fannie Elizabeth Chapman. It is said that Mr. King and Miss Gertrude Williams were recently married and will make their home in Coronado. The Lincoln and Douglass Memorial exercises will be held at Bethel A. M. E. church Monday evening, February 12. Every one s cordially invited. The Misses Blanche, Addie Belle, and Willie Goodwin, and Miss King, were the pleasant callers on Mrs. V. L. Goodwin Sunday evening. The "Early Risers" Club, of the B. Y. P. U., gave an entertainment Friday night, which proved to be a decided success for the young people. The "Can't Be Beat" Club will be the next to venture out with an entertainment, which will be at Masonic Hall in the near future. Miss Exonia Mulholland is Captain of the Club. Prayer meeting service is being held during this week, in preparedness for a great revival, which is to be launched soon at the Mt. Zion church. All membere and Christian friends are invited and are urgently asked to bring some sinner to the meeting. The "fight i s on," and souls must be won for Christ. Mrs. T. Bolden, of Seattle, Washington, is in San Diego for her son's health. Mrs. Ophelia Scales gave a supper last Wednesday night. It was a success. Mrs. Mary Stout has been on the sick list, but is much better. Mrs. Hariett Marshall is on the sick list. Mrs. G. W. Woodby, on receiving a telegram that her mother was very sick, left for Washington, D. C. Mr. Tom Ganes is here from Imperial Valley. Services were held all day at Mt Zion Sunday, Rev. C. Williams preached three excellent sermons. The choir sang in the afternoon with Miss Annie Mulholland at the organ. The church in general is doing nicely, and all are praying for prosperity in the church. Most of the members are giving the excellent pastor their hearty support both spiritually and financially. Bro. A. L. Brown, who has joined the Mt. Zion church, has proved to be a whole-hearted Christian, and is of much benefit to the church in all lines. He was elected as one of the trustees of the church. Sister M. A. Hayden, who is also a widewake member of the church, and who also stands as a worthy and competent superintendent of the Sunday school, was elected as Treasurer of the Mt. Zion church in the last business meeting. Rev, and Mrs. C. Williams entertained at dinner Sunday, Mrs. C. E. Norwood and a party of friends. Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Hayden took for an auto ride Sunday afternoon, Mrs. V. L. Goodwin, Mrs. C. E. Norwood. Mrs. A. L. Brown was also in the party. They called on Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey, of National City, and enjoyed a pleasant time while in the country. Mrs. V. L. Goodwin picked a nice mess of mustard Mrs. E. M. G. Mulholland is on the sick list. Mrs. V. L Goodwin gave an entertainment, Thursday night at her home on Martin avenue for the benefit of the Carnation Club, of the Mt. Zion church. It was a success. Scrapbook By J.D. Reynolds. OUR HENRY There is warm blood in the veins of Henry Ford. He has been classed hitherto as a peace-at-any price advocate. Now he offers in the event of war to place his plants at the disposal of the government and operate them without charge. May his machine crank easily, and his magneto never get out of order, and his spark plugs be ever successful and his tires never, never bust! An average man who has seen 75 years of life has eaten an amount of food equal to some 1500 times his own weight, says the Popular Science Monthly for February. One hundred and ten tons of food he has consumed, of which the bread alone, if it could be piled separately, would occupy a space equal to that of a good-sized building. The vegetables on reappearing would fill a train three miles in length and the bacon when placed end to end in single slices would stretch along a line four miles long. The reappearance of five tons of fish and one-fifth of a ton of cheese would surely haunt him, while 12,000 eggs, 10,000 pounds of sugar and 1,500 pounds of salt would put in their claim. And he has smoked no less than 250,000 cigarets. Let's hope he has saved the coupons. COMMENT ON THE SITUATION The situation arising from the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany remains virtually the same as when President Wilson made his momentous announcement to Congress last Saturday. The status of Austria, through her, adherence to Germany's submarine warfare, has not yet been determined. Meanwhile the American Ambassador in Germany has demanded his passports and is making preparations to leave Berlin and plans are afoot for the German Ambassador and his retinue to depart for Germany next week. Advices from Manila say that the German vessels in Philippine waters have been seized by American naval officers at the request of the customs authorities, who considered as wanton and lawless the attempts of the German crews to destroy vessels in Philippine harbors. The Pershing "punitive" expedition returned to the United State yesterday. Villa is still at large and unpunished either by the Americans or the Carranzistas. The outlaws are said to be threatening an attack on Juarez. All orders for troops movements on the border have been suspended. $30,000 IS FOUND ON BODY Santa Rosa', Feb. 6.—Money and valuables totaling $30,000 were found by the coroner here in the pockets of John J. Miller of Santa Clara, a mining man, who ordpped dead in the railroad depot at Healdsburg. He was 80 years old and leaves a daughter, Mrs. Nuttle of Santa Clara. DIVING CRUISERS OF OCEAN PATROL POSTS Three hundred submarines of latest type, giants in size and swift, with a navigating radius that will more than compass the Atlantic, are fiberated by Germany in the supreme effort to crush her enemies. One type of diver in the fleet is of 240 tons, 260 feet long, and the other of 5000 tons, having a length of 400 feet. These sinister craft will be used against the ships of the world in the campaign to reduce England by starvation. THE EAGLE AS AN EMBLEM The first nation to adopt the eagle as a symbol of royal power was the Etruscans of ancient Italy, who bore the image of an eagle at the head of their armies.

The eagle became the standard of the Roman legions in the time of Marius. The Roman eagle was represented with outspread wings. The Byzantine Emperors had as their emblem a double-breasted eagle, significant of their claim to empire in both East and West. The eagle was later adopted by the German Emperors and by the rulers of Prussia, Poland and Russia. Charlemagne added the second head to the eagle for his arms to signify that the Empires of Rome and Germany were united under him. The eagle was the standard of Napoleon and was restored to France during the second Empire. The design for the great seal of the United States, embracing a spread-eagle, was suggested to John Adams, then Minister to Great Britain, by Sir John Prentwich, an eminent English antiquary.—Rochester Post-Express. CHICAGO DETECTIVES AGAIN HUNT FOR GIRL Chicago, Jan. 29.—More than sixty hours had passed when detectives today resumed their search for Marjorie Delbridge, the fourteen-year-old white child left by her dying actress mother to "Mammy" Jackson, a Colored woman, from whom the Juvenile Court recently took the girl. Marjorie knows no mother except the old Negress, who for many years worked hard and kept her foster child well dressed and in school. The girl protested against being taken from her "Mammy," but the Court held that she would be better in the home of persons of her own Race. She was in the home of Mrs. Louis Brock, by permission of the Court, when she disappeared. WORTH OF MONEY Last week there was mentioned the death of a Chicago car conductor at the age of seventy-three, who parted with regret from a fortune of half a million. Since then a New York letter carrier has gone the way of all flesh, neglecting to take with him the $300,000 he had accumulated through the wise investment of his New Year tips. The conductor stayed on the job to the last, but the carrier seems to have become tired, for he took something that carried him across the border. Now is a man who accumulates large sums "worth" the sums in question? Or may it not be true that such a man may be worth less than 30 cents? —From the Scrap Book of J. D. Reynolds. SAN BERNARDINO The Mock Trial given by the Brotherhood of New Hope Baptist Church, drew a large crowd, and was greatly enjoyed by all. The financial side was also a success.

(he Sacra | pieces. the daily papers Ieciden bd the tslcting 1 ay incident had the ing to say: Colored Attache Object of a Row ‘Refuses to Brush Coats A. resolution asking that “the cloak room attendant be furnished with a-whisk broom” drew a laugh in the Assembly “when it was introduced Thursday, but later it brought on a hot argu ment between _ Assemblyman Mouser and -Chairman. Smith oi the committee on attaches. The attendant is J..B. Bass, Colored, editor of The California ‘Eagle, a Colored publication, arid a college graduate. Mouser brought Bass from Los Angeles and had him put on the job as Assistant Sergeant at Arms. But there were enough assistant ser- geants, so Bass was:shifted to the cloak room at the same. salary. Bass declined to brush off mem- bers of the Assemblyjzand the res- olution followed. ", - Mouser defends Bass, Saying he has a;better education, than three-fourths of the Assembly- men and could inake)as good .a speech as any of them. “In agree- ing to ‘have him shifted to the cloak room,” says Mouser, “I didn’t expect him'to act in the ca- pacity of a servait and ‘dust off” the assemblymen. I only. expect- ed him to see that no hats or coats were stolen.” The result was that Mr. Bass was re-assigned, this time to a position of an Assistant Sergeant at Arms much to his liking, and an honor of the. Race he so well represents. It is a great source of pride to all men who believe in fair play to note the ‘Assembly- man Frank H. Mouser‘again goes to the bat fearlessly for what he believes to be right, and that he is unalterably opposed to unnec- essarily| humiliating a Race be- cause of its Color. rf WHERE CREDIT IS DUE No man more than Hon. Alex- ander McCabe, Official ‘Private Secretafy to the Governor, has contributed to. the six years suc- cessful administratoin of the goy- ernmental affairs of the State of California than he. Governor Stephens will find when he quali- fies as Governor of the State a thorough and efficient body of men who all in their way have helped place the State of Califor- nia in the forefront. It goes with- out saying that had it not been for the rare efficiency of the per- sonnel of the present administra- tration the six years of Governor | Johnson would ‘not have attained | its high place in the estimation of 1II the people of the United States Kho believe in. humane .govern- ment and the unending reign of the people. And it is here where Mr. McCabe figures ‘to an. emi- nent degree. It has been accept- ed as an _uncontrovertible fact, that Mr. McCabe has been the Governor's closest adviser not only in all matters of appoirit- ment, but his rare ability as a po- itical organizer, his intimate knowledge of men and their rec- ords and their known limitations has made him indispensable to| any manner of success. Mr. Mc- Cabe is nearly as popular in Southern California as he is north, and this is owing largely to the fact that he is at all times ffable, reasonable and unpreju- diced. It is largely through these qualities he has built up in this state, “a machine,” if you please ‘0 call it that, that is simply in- vincible. Governor Stephens’ gs 0 be congratulated that he will ake on the reins of government, nding already erected the safe-' guards of the best government California ever had. And in this Mr. McCabe had been the veriest Warwick. Since Assemblyman | Bert L. ‘Farmer's perfidy has been made lmanifest by his action in the first session of the 1917 Assembly, it [has come to light that this same Bert L. Farmer and his family was one of the forces that fought sa hard to keep our honored cit- izen, Homer Garrott, from occu- pying his own property in Mr. Farmer's district. We are told that the Farmer family said that no Negro will ever live therein, but Mr. Garrott is living there, owing to the fact that the court and not Farmers had the last say. There is more coming.

MAN OUTDONE Bert Farmer of Seventy-Third Assembly District, Which In cludes Furlong Tract, Insult: the Race by Introducing a Res- olution to Reduce the Colored Assistant Sergeant at Arms to a Member of the Whisk-Broom Brigade. . (Special) Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 19, 1916 The first part of the bi-furcated Forty-Second Legislature has ad- journed. It lasted but three weeks and during that time ac- complished some great work by the introduction of bills and con- |stitutional amendments which in- dicate that progressivism has come in California to stay. Every evidence of reaction was set down on with a dull sickening thud. Ocasionally one of the “old guard” would arise both in the Senate and Assembly to assert the deep rancor of the fellow who knows at the start “that he just has to be good,” and after the emission of a little hot air sub- side into a state of innocuous des- uetude. But theer are some fel- lows who will not sensibly sub- side, they have to: be. squashed, and Assemblyman Bert Farmer of the 73rd_ District is one of this kind. é Like Governor Vardaman and Ben Tillman, Southern fire-eaters, felt the lustre’ of their political crowns was growing dim, they would invariably burst out with tirades against the . unfortunate Negro. They would appeal to race-prejudice and ‘thereby re- gain their lost popularity. But that was down South, and not in any civilized’ community. Bert Farmer spurred on by the embryo statesman, Al Bartlett; who when he arises to speak has a charac- teristic tremor in his voice, be- cause he is not sure, saw an op- portunity to slam the single Ne- gro representative in the Assem- bly’s attaches, arose in the As- sembly and introduced a. resolu- tion to reduce Mr. J. B. Bass, Sergeant at Arms assigned to do police duty in the coat room, to a mere attendant with a whisk- broom. This reduction process was largely prompted because the Assistant Sergeant at Arms was the Editor of The California Eagle a Race newspaper that stands for the policies of Gover- nor Johnson’s administration, and will be found advocating Gover- nor Stephens, who will accept loy- ally the same policies, and carry them out. From_ inside. information re- ceived Farmer was only the stalk- ing horse, and another Assembly- man, Bartlett, the instigator of this effort to humiliate the Race. Knowing that the present State Administration would be held re- sponsible for the action of .the forty-third session, it was the scheme to give it a “color-line” feature, hence Mr. Farmer, young and‘ unripe in legislation, was chosen to do the ‘dark act.” Far- mer forgot that the Black pha- lanx of his district has practically elected him, and could leave him at the post when he would run again. Now this is great news for the loyal Furlong tract settlement of Colored voters, instead of reading some great oratorical ef- fort of which they in common with his other constituents would feel justly proud, the .best they get is this measely fesolution to reduce an Assistant Sergeant at Arms, simply because it was be- lieved it. could be done without protest, on the score of the in- tended victim. But Farmer, Bartlett and their corporal guard reckoned without their host, for Assemblyman Frank H. Mouser, with the Ad- ministration forces behind ‘him, SHERIFF THOMAS FINN OF SAN FRANCISCO The presencg, of the Hon. Thomas Finn frém this session of the Senate js, missed very much. The’ former Senator was not only one of the ablest:arid influential members: but was one who could always be counted on to use his very best efforts|in behalf of the greatest number of the people. The Colored people recognized in him a staunch friend of whom they. could expect at all times a square deal.
