A Mighty Triumph! Was the Second Conclave of the All-American League. The second annual conclave of the All American League, which convened Thursday morning at Exposition Park of this city, will go down in history as one of the most successful and far reaching meetings ever promoted by the Colored citizens of California. It was inspiring as well as educational and its slogan, "ALL AMERICAN" receives an impetus that will forever carry is over the shoals and make for it a clear sailing on the mighty sea of progress. It was with misgiving fears and trepidation that those who were at the head of the All American League faced the continued rainfall that seemed to mean disaster in so far as attendance was concerned, but they nobly stuck to their colors and Thursday morning notwithstanding the inclement weather, the people began wending their way to the park and as the day progressed the people filled the great exposition building to the utmost and, examining the beautiful and wonderful exhibits and in attendance to the business session of the All American League. The morning session was taken up with the routine business of the League. Many noted visitors in and out of town were present. Rev. Lightner offered the invocation, Miss Hilda Baker played a solo, the audience sang America, and Dr. Pettigrew made address, after which they adjourned to partake of the well-cooked barbecue, prepared by Mr. Frank Brown and carved to a queen's taste by Mr. B. Baker, the hero of the barbecue, as Mr. Baker was chairman of that very important committee. A bevy of beautiful lady members of the League waited upon the people. The afternoon session began with moving picture scenes, and the following program: Meeting called to order by the President. Chorus—"Steal Away." Reading of communications by Secretary. "Objects and Purposes of the League"—W. E. Easton. Address by Supervisor Hamilton. Piano Solo—C Minor Prelude by Rachminnoff—Miss Fannie Wilson. Remarks by H. D. Greer. Recommended that the Chairman of Executive Committee retire to bring in report on State organization. Report of Executive Committee. Moved and seconded that the report of committee be accepted and adopted. It was so declared. Paper by Mrs. L. V. Stewart. "A Woman." Motion that all who purchased membership tickets be declared bona fide members of the League. Voted and so declared. Motion that H. D. Greer be awarded a certificate of Merit. Annual address of President Hugh E. MacBeth. Motion to adjourn until Sunday, 2 o'clock. Remarks by Hon. Frank Mouser. The following officers of the State organization and local League were elected to serve for the ensuing two years and year respectively. President State Conclave Hugh E. Macbeth; Vice Pres. A. P. Alberga; Secretary H. L. Prince, Natl Representative W. E. Eas- President J A Colly Secrataay H. D. Green Complete list of officers in our next issue. Exhibits The crowning feature of the great conclave was the exhibits of the handwork of the works of art and science by Colored men and women. The same is worth going miles to see and they will remain at Exposition Park until Sunday, when at 3 o'clock the prizes, medals and diplomas will be awarded. We advise all who have not seen these wonderful exhibits to do so. The Eagle next issue will give full account of the same. Special mention of the musical arrangements under Mrs. Clara Hulbert is in order, and of the Exhibit Committee, composed of Rev. G. W. Kinchen, Mrs. W. E. Easton and Mrs. H. E. MacBeth. ANNUAL ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT HUGH E. MacBETH To the Members of the Second Annual Conclave of the All-American League of California, Men and Women: Again we are met in Annual Conclave. At no time in the history of the All-American League have the wisdom and purpose of its founders been more evident and more urgent than at the present moment. The future seems but to unfold its record as further proof of the eternal verity of that doctrine of our League which holds as follows: "There is but one standard of Americanism and that standard includes a common opportunity and a common obligation for every American citizen." It requires but the briefest survey of the happenings of the past twelve months to convince one that the only safe plan for the development of any people is a plan based upon the broad and sound fundamental principle of an adequate and equal chance for the development of all peoples. Europe yet writhes in her blood because her peoples have ever refused to concede to each other a fair and equal chance in the game of existence and achievement. Millions have weltered in their blood for this refusal, and other millions march headlong to a bloody death until Europe rights her wrongs in this regard. Because of their categorical denial of the fundamentals of true democracy, Caucasian Europe is losing its strength by millions of its finest manhood and the darker Races of the world are looming more and more to the front. And therein lies the hope of true democracy. While Europe pours its blood in unending streams, America has experienced her first skirmish of a bloodless revolution. Resenting the inadequacy and inequality of opportunity in the Southern States, thousands of Colored American laborers have abandoned their Southern homes and have sought the labor market of the North and East, where the spirit of true Americanism finds truer expression. And in the meantime America pays the price of permitting in her borders organizations whose reference is to foreign allegiance in that while on the verge of war with a European power, our nation finds itself in the grip of a system of foreign espionage whose agents exist in numbers to the extent of over a hundred thousand. And lynch law continues to find a place of security in the American governmental functions. From this place of security it launches its cowardly attacks upon its helpless and oftimes unoffending victims. From a local standpoint the past year has been one of decided progress along the line of true Americanism. The spirit of racial tolerance has begun to find a lodging place in the policies of our State and municipal governments. A well directed and intelligently conceived movement to increase the working efficiency of the colored American laboring class has met and growing results. The increasing number of business ventures among the Negroes of California argue well for the future. In Los Angeles, California, the best organized, best serving and best paying exclusive lunch counter business in the city is the result of the enterprise ATTORNEY OSCAR HUDSON OF SAN FRANCISCO Prominent among the delegates to the All American League is the Hon. Oscar Hudson, leading attorney at law from San Francisco. Mr. Hudson is well known in Los Angeles, he established the New Age here. On leaving here for the north he sold his interest to G. W. Hill. As a member of the bar Mr. Hudson stands in the front rank and is the only Negro member of the California Bar Association. He has one of the most complete libraries of any lawyer in the West, the same consisting of more than 1000 vol and ability of a colored man. However, the greatest challenge which the Negroes have ever given the future and the deepest evidence of their sense of citizenship responsibility, are found in the intelligent, methodical and persistent manner in which they are setting themselves to the gigantic task of turning to their own use the practically limitless wealth of the mineral resources of the great Southwest. The Future Looms Large Before Us From the international standpoint it is—America First! (Continued on page 3) The citizens of Los Angeles are to be highly favored on next Sunday by hearing an address by Attorney Geo. H. Woodson of Buxton, Iowa, at the Forum Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. We urge upon the people to fail not to turn out and hear this eminent citizen. The writer has known Mr. Woodson for many years and his great work for the advancement of this people, so while here for his health during the winter, the editor and others have prevailed upon him to address the citizens of Los Angeles along the lines dearest to his heart, "The Need of Organization of Money." umes. Mr. Hudson is also counsel for the Republic of Liberia. Before coming to the coast he served for some time as official interpreter for the government in Cuba. In San Francisco he takes a lively interest in all things that tend for a better and higher citizenship. He was elected as Grand Representative of the All American League at its second annual conclave Thursday in this city. At this meeting he was the accredited representative of the San Francisco League and had the honor of delivering the keynote address which was a feature of the day. Mr. Woodson is one of the really successful Colored barristers of this country. By straightforward practice he has earned for himself a competence and has the highest esteem of the community in which he lives and there is no axe to grind on his part. So you will be favored with what we predict will be a remarkable address. For the news of the week, see to it that the California Eagle is in your home. By WALT. L. GORDON (Special Correspondent) In every large city and small town of this country where Colored people are found in considerable proportions, there are also found the quacks—quacks in every avenue of endeavor, of which our Race has ventured. Quack doctors, quack lawyers, quack industrial school promoters and professors, quack politico-statesmen, quack editors and newspaper promoters, quack preacher, revivalists and ad infinitum. The specie of quacks of which I am about to dissect and discuss will be the last named one, the quack preacher, of such tribe there are an innumerable host. The Pacific coast is no less pestered with them than the Atlantic side. At most they are an itinerant, peripatetic, droll gad, without any visible means of support and of limited schooling, if any at all, and most times of questionable character. Sometimes preaching, sometimes following varied occaptions—at times the very opposite of his doctrine. A description of the type: Usually large and powerful of physique; looks, tolerably prepossessing or in the language of the street, "passable," and glib of tongue; talks, limited to politic, Bible and the Race, especially racial, but not absolutely sure of any of them. His talks are shaded by the sentiment of the community and as his hearers would have it. His method of entry into a community is in this manner, "Benn sent," he has his emissaries to pass this out. "Has a new vision," "A new message," may I add also a new method fully understood to himself as to how to acquire notoriety and to insure support. Also styles himself as a Black Spurgeon or a Black Billy Sunday. I have never heard of a white man calling himself a white C. T. Walker or a white Dr. Carey nor Ransom, though, they are human, same as Colored men. I have often wondered—maybe they have self-respect and respect and respect for their followers. They feeling that it is not necessary simply to have a bombastic title or high sounding name, that it is more essential to be of good character, of proven honesty and a devout follower of the cross, than merely a sensationalist or a seeker of applause. I have often wondered that if to say that he is a "Black Billy Sunday" that it is to be emphasized that he talks in a fashion similar to Billy Sunday and possesses some of his thunder, and the stress of the information is upon these points and not upon the most important and essential qualities, such as upright character, a thoroughly inspired Christian, and of some training so essential for leadership, is to be considered as points of preference. Am I asking too much? Or is it sufficient or enough simply to be able "to stir them up," and not necessary that pastors be men of clean lives, honest, sober and capable. Which do we prefer? Men of Billy Sunday antics and logic of indifferent morality. Or men with the fundamentals of Christian virtue whether with or without eloquence? I feel satisfied about your answer. Why call oneself Black Billy Sunday? Do we care to put a higher value on eloquence or talk of a Christian? What if I called myself a Black Spurgeon or a Black Billy Sunday and my character was so notorious and my reputation so rotten that even the man in the moon would hold his nose when I passed by. These quacks let us cease to support or follow. Cease to speak kindly of them, and unite to drive them from the community. As to their entry into a community, they slip in on the eve of a revival, labor with much zeal, have a glorious supply of "Amens," hallelujahs and the like. These revivals carry them over with much assistance by the "good sisters" till election time. Now they have arrived at the most eventful and busiest period of their career, such as seeing the candidates, putting a price on their support and work (usually taking any price they can get) emphasizing the number of votes he has in his vest pocket. A veritable leader of the Black populace, of course he lines up with "Vice," he makes conciliatory speeches in its behalf. Oh, yes, for pay. Perhaps and occasionally, he starts a newspaper, secures subscriptions from candidates and others that are easily duped, gets "write ups" and "ads" for "Vice" and candidates. He's feathering his nest in due season, no regard for honesty. When he takes a year's subscription and knows well he won't publish after election. No regard for honor—makes gross misstatements when he says he represents Colored people on the side of issues that are of questionable character. And is un-Christian and foul, when his very acts hurt our generally clean ministry, and the (Continued on page 8) SIDNEY P. DONES ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR COUNCILMANIC HONORS S. P. Dones, the man who has come up from the hustings and although yet one of our young men, has announced his entry in the race for the City Council and will ask the suffrage of the people for this highly important position. His nominating papers are being rapidly signed and he no doubt will qualify with signers to spare. Mr. Dones is making the race strictly on his record as a successful business man and a citizen who stands for real progress, not only of a Race but for all the people and is receiving on all sides assurances of a hearty support at What the Churches are Doing J. Logan Craw, Pastor Sunday's services were up to the usual high standard. Many visitors were present at the morning service, among them Dr. John D. Browne, Abbyrina Baptist church, New York City, who expressed himself as highly pleased and decidedly benefited in this worship. The pastor delivered both sermons and including the class night addition there were two accessions to membership. The choir sang beautifully. You are welcome to our services on this coming Lord's Day. The pastor will deliver both sermons. The annual services of the Mutual Aid Society will be conducted at the First church, Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The pastor will deliver the sermon. Our musical obituary choir will render special music. Everybody welcome to attend. Come early for a good new Many pledges have been made toward liquidating the mortgage street bond indebtedness and many more are expected to follow. Sister Fannie Askew, one of our faithful members sojourning for a little while at Redlands, Cal., sent $10.00 in cash last Sunday to be applied on this effort that comes off on Easter Sunday. Other out of town members will send funds to the pastor, 1466 Griffith avenue, and be given due credit for the same while each member at home and every friend who would see all our indebtedness "lifted," will make a real sacrifice to give a substantial pledge in this, the last effort of its kind this annual conference year.

CHURCH Pico and Paloma Streets Rev. B. C. Robeson, S.T.B., Pastor The Stewardess's came together and put in fine shape, the vesty painting both floor and wainscoting, beside putting down a new carpet and clearing out old dilapidated furniture and trimmings. This is a manifestation of the new spirit which has taken hold of Zion since the advent of the new pastor. Now the Trustees, not to be outdone, are going to have necessary repairs to the basement made and new window lights installed. Zion believes in doing things and to look after its constantly increasing crowds she is making progress her watchword day and night. The choir is still advancing under the leadership of Prof. H. C. Wheaton. The pastor is still making the call to sinners. Last Sunday his sermon was a special appeal to them. Miss Bertha Miller, the organist, is doing effectual work at the organ. She is quickly familiarizing herself with all its parts and accompanies the choir's beautiful anthems with telling effect. The pastor's subject at 11 a.m. will be, "The Religion We Can Taste." At 8 p.m., "Thou Shalt Be Missed." Well heated, good ventilation, strangers and visitors welcome. Don't forget Sunday, March 4. Bishop L. W. Kyles, D.D., will hold the fort at Zion. Come and hear this great man speak. The Pacific Coast has already felt the effect of his telling work. Watch for him. INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor Rev. N. P. Greggs, pastor of Independent Church of Christ, took as his theme Sunday morning, "Christ brought success out of apparent failure in days gone by; many doubt his doing the same today." Text Luke 5.5. He said in part: Master, we have toiled all night, and have taken nothing. Neverless at Thy word I will let down the net. The practical and beautiful thoughts brought out by the pastor were faith, determination and patience. These are qualities so undeveloped by us as a people. The band of men referred to in the text were professional fishermen. At this particular time they had fished all night without results, and as the morning dawned, they were washing their nets and just about to give up in despair. But Christ sees them and speaks to them, saying, "Let down your nets," and through faith they obeyed, and their nets were filled with fish. Sometimes victory comes at the last moment, for the earnest faithful women there is always victory over the hill. Table were two authors of the Cor. 8th and San Julian Streets Last Sunday was a great day at Wesley M. E. church in spite of threatening weather. The pastor, Rev. A. P. Shaw, preached morning and evening. The subject of the morning sermon was "Our Inherentance," and that of the evening sermon was "Winning One." Both sermons were strong, practical, and helpful messages that were well received. Three members had died during the week, Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Addie L. Boyer and Brother George Green. The pastor addressed a large audience of young people at the meeting of the Queen Esther Circle at 4:30 p.m. This Sunday is "Get Together Day." At 11 a.m. the pastor will preach a special sermon to the officers and members of the church on "Team Work." In the morning the pastor will preach the first of a series of sermons on "Preaching Christ." An offering is expected from every member of the church, those present and those absent. We want at least six hundred persons to contribute something. Will you be one, Shall your name fail to appear on the list? Contributions from our friends will be expected and appreciated. SECOND A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. E. R. Johnson, Pastor The 'Union Revival Meetings held here, under the auspices of the Methodist Ministers' Alliance, were a great success in every respect and a splendid help to this church and community. There was a fine attendance at each session and the telling spiritual messages delivered by Rev. J. W. Price, Dr. A. P. Shaw, Dr. J. C. Anderson and Dr. B. E. Robeson, inspired the people to higher ideals and greater usefulness in the Redeemer's kingdom. There were three conversions during the week which brought the number of conversions for the union meeting up to 37. The pastor will continue to preach evangelistic sermons each Sunday. NEWS OF PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH The services at this church on the past Sabbath were of a very high order and were very much enjoyed by the two splendid congregations present. The work on the church is rapidly nearing completion and we hope in a few days to have the organ in and in service. All the departments of the church are alive and are doing a great work. The ladies of Board No. I will give a "Martha Washington" party at the home of Mrs. Ladye Bowen, 735 East 17th street, on Thursday night and a great time is assured all who attend. The choir will give their regular monthly concert on the coming Sunday and the public is cordially invited to come out and enjoy this treat with us. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street and Central Avenue. Rev. E. E. Lighter, Pastor Rev. S. E. Edwards was the speaker at the morning service on last Sunday, and brought to us a warm spiritual message, taking as his text: "Make the multitude sit down." The pastor was at his post at the evening service and spoke, taking for his subject, "Catching Men." Services for Sunday, Feb. 25, as follows: Sunday School, 10:00 a.m.; preaching, 11:15 a.m., by pastor, subject, "An Unwise Choice"; Christian Endeavor, 6:30 p. m., topic, "The Home Missionary Boards of My Denomination, What They Are and What They Are Doing." Isa. 35:1-10. At 7:30 p. m. the Missionary Society under the presidency of Mrs. Charles Alexander will give its first monthly missionary program, consisting of short addresses and special musical numbers. A rare treat for everybody. A warm welcome awaits you. PASADENA FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Continued rain this week made advisable the postponement of the programs of the Fair and Anniversary until Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings of next week: Tuesday night Rev. A. P. Shaw, the eloquent pastor of Wesley chapel, will speak as will Mayor Hamilton. Prof. Hamilton, chairman of the City Commissioners, will speak upon the progress of the Negroes in Pasadena as he has observed it. Wednesday evening the Fraternal societies, Thursday night the musical and literary program and Friday night the young people will entertain. Services last Sunday were well attended. At morning the pastor preached, while in the evening service, Rev. Bussey pleased the audience with a well directed message. At the Young People's meeting a patriotic program was a feature. Mrs. Bell read a paper on George Washington. Miss Boyce rendered a vocal solo and patriotic songs were enjoyed. Next Sunday Miss Silmon will lead, Mr. Bell will sing and Jay Bailey read. The Glee Club of the society will have charge of the evening service at the Washington Street Methodist church on Sunday, March 18. The singing of this group of young men is becoming very popular. The regular choir of the church has been invited and will sing at the Lin- IMPROVE YOUR HAIR IF YOUR HAIR IS HARSH, KINKY, MAPPY AND SMARLS UP ALL OVER YOUR HEAD USE FORD'S HAIR POMADE POICE OR CERTIFIED IMAGE GALLERY CHICAGO, IL FORD'S HAIR POMADE FORD'S HAIR POMADE POICE OR CERTIFIED IMAGE GALLERY CHICAGO, IL THE NATURAL OIL PRODUCT AND YOU WILL FIND A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

The Fair and Anniversary service opened on Tuesday night in spite of inclement weather. Attractive booths were in charge of the following ladies: Mrs. Bell in charge of the Domestic Booth; Mrs. Harding in the Fancy Work Booth; Mrs. Edward Fouche in the Ice Cream and Candy Booth, and Mrs. Bussy in charge of the lunch. The Miller musicale on Thursday night last week presented to an appreciative audience not only well known talent, but new talent as well, delighting the large number present. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. R. Airline conducted both services at the church last Sabbath, assisted by Rev. J. Fleming and Rev. H. Jones. The morning sermon centering upon the thought of "Prayer," was an able one. Its sequel "How to Pray," was presented in the evening. The Wednesday evening prayer services are becoming very popular with a large portion of the membership. Rev. Jones led a most spiritual meeting last week and Deacon Payne was the leader for this week's meeting. Rev. F. Davis, pastor at Mt. Zion Baptist church, has been secured to preach next Sunday. Rev. Davis and his work is still fresh in the minds of those who attended the week of prayer and revival during last month. In the afternoon the laymen of the church will conduct their Sunday afternoon meeting from 3 to 4:30. An interesting program is being prepared. A paper by A. H. Evans and a musical offering by Miss Alfretta Rousselle were the numbers presented by the program committee at the B. Y. P. U. service. Mr. Ford as chairman has been most faithful in this work, with the result that it is impossible to attend a B. Y. P. U. meeting and miss hearing a commendable program; 6:30 p. m. is the time, every Sunday evening. METROPOLITAN CHURCH Last Wednesday evening the choir gave a surprise luncheon in honor of the chorister, Mrs. Wm. Hicks. A silver fruit spoon was presented on this occasion, to further demonstrate the esteem the choir holds for its leader. The Valentine social by Mrs. I. A. Teat at the Social hall Thursday evening proved a very pretty and unique aairf, greatly enjoyed by the number of young people. The rally date of the membership of the church was fixed for the third Sunday. Next Sabbath at morning service the pastor will speak on "The Pharisee's Reception of Christ." At evening service Rev. Hughes will preach on "Christ at the Pool of Siloam." quarters. SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES Last Sunday was a full and inspirational day for Scott Chapel. There was a wonderful demonstration Sunday morning at the close of Pastor Kinchen's sermon. The altar was crowded with the people seeking a closer relationship with God. The message last Sunday was on "Taking a Chance," based upon the life of Abraham Lincoln. On Sunday afternoon there was a splendid audience to witness the exercises by the Harriet Tubman Club in charge of Mrs. Fields. Mr. Harold Prince delivered an address on the life and works of Frederick Douglass. In spite of the rain on Sunday evening a large audience was present to hear the program on Abraham Lincoln and the Southern educational work. Mrs. Katie Lee was in charge of this program and Mr. Perry acted as master of ceremonies. Next Sunday will be another great day. At the morning service a foreign missionary will bring the message in the interest of world movements. In every way Scott Chapel is on the upgrade and the pastor and members are working as one man in the interest of Christ's kingdom in this community.

I think that is the way the song runs, anyway it fits in nicely in the case of Mrs. Maude Stallings this week, and the answer is, No, none of these, it's "Princess," Mrs. Stallings' little water spaniel dog, was run over and instantly killed by a naukhty auto. I truly sympathize, because Princess has been in the family almost twelve years. SUDDEN CHANGE Miss Ethel Park suddenly taking a dislike to her name "Parks," this is quite common, so between her and Mr. Reaves they managed to change it to Mrs. Ethel Reaves. Ethel sighed, O! that's so much better. I never stopped to ask whether she was referring to the names or the single and married life, but whatever it is she is due congratulations. The concert given by the young ladies of the Anti-Cant Club turned out to be a wonderful success. Each and every girl appeared at her best and the program was enjoyed by all. BRIDE TO BE Quite a surprise was tendered the friends of Miss Lottie Taylor when the dansant given in her honor by Mr. R. Mabre, turned out to be an announcement party. About 35 friends of this young lady were busy enjoying themselves in the Parish Hall, which had been transformed into an ideal spring garden of choicest flowers, when they were interrupted by Father Cleghorn, who announced that he would like to speak to them for just a few minutes. Of course, it must be concerning Lent! was what every guest said, with a little pout, but father proved that he could speak of other things, if he was but given such topics as this one. For when his oration was finished and summed up it was but the announcement of Miss Taylor. BIRTHDAY DINNER Sugestive of the spring time were the decorations used by Mr. B. Davis in her entertaining ten guests in honor of her husband's birthday, Saturday last. The color scheme of pink and white was caried out through the beautiful rooms, set off here and there by large potted ferns. The table, which was the most artistic of the season, had as a center ferns with choice pink carnations. At each place were hand-marked place cards. First was served fruit punch, after which were the following courses: Turkey à la mode and vegetables, salad, hot coffee and cute little biscuits, ice cream and cake. The ten guests present pronounced Mrs. Davis the queen of entertainers. And last but not least was the beautiful birthday cake with a large candle sitting majestically in the center. Places were marked for Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Maloney, Mrs. White, Mrs. B. Davis, Father Cleghorn, Mrs. J. B. Bass. (Continued from page 1) Europe is weak from loss of blood, burdened with unimaginable debt, and generally disheartened. In the Far East, ambitious and sensitive Japan for reasons of expediency, would challenge the necessity of democracy's fundamental requisite of an adequate and equal chance for all peoples—accordingly she reaches out for the mastery of the entire Far East. But Europe's misfortune and Japan's necessity furnish America her big opportunity to lay the foundations of a world democracy. May America not lose the opportunity. No prospect of the future from a national standpoint could be made with clearer vision than by reference to the following cardinal principle of Americanism: "Every organization or classification which limits the activities of American citizens, or inspires the development of American institutions by an arbitrary reference to Social class, race, or for- eign allegiance will undermine the foundation stones of true Americanism." America is doomed, if the present practices of organizing its citizenship into societies whose central idea refers to a foreign allegiance, are not discontinued. It should matter little to a true American that the Kaiser has a birthday or that Lloyd George, Premier of England, seeks a new war loan. Our allegiance is entirely and exclusively to America. America is in immediate need of an effective system of national defense, both naval and military, and in this system of defense every meritorious citizen should have an equal responsibility for service, an equal chance for training, and an equal chance for meritorious promotion. This applies alike to the Home as to the National Guard. The present system of denying colored American citizens the opportunity of service in the Home Guard and denying them the opportunity of training at West Point and Annapolis, is entirely un-American, defenseless and damnable. It must be relegated to oblivion along with those who oare responsible for this bit or near-treason. Lynching must be abolished, and that right soon, or the South will experience such an exodus of Negro laborers, as will leave it industrially helpless. However, it is from the local standpoint that the future is full of opportunity for true Americans. California is indeed America's Golden Ray of Hope. Already has she begun the task of interpreting the true spirit of Americanism into the conduct of her people. The work is but begun. Some of the Tasks Immediately Before Us Union labor must adopt a program of absolute equality of all all men, white and-colored. The present policy of denying colored workmen full membership and benefits in the Union must be reversed. The present practices of State, County, and Municipal Civil Service Commissions discount applicants because of color or race must cease. The League should make exhaustive inquiry to the end that these practices do cease. No department of government employ, whether National, State, County or Municipal, should be composed exclusively of one race, or color of Americans. All present customs and future efforts along these lines should be made the subject of an insistent campaign of education and pressure. Immediate investigation should be made into the customs of banks discounting collateral because of colored ownership. An insistent campaign of education should be waged among banking men along this line. A searching investigation should be made into the primal causes of the refusal to serve colored ptorons by hotels, restaurants, soda fountains and cafes. A campaign of education should be waged among the proprietors of these necessities. A campaign of Christian education should be inaugurated among the certain and numerous churches who hold their doors of fellowship open to either white or colored citizens exclusively. A thorough investigation should be made of the attempt in Southern California to institute Jim Crow schools and a campaign of education to the folly of such procedure should be inaugurated in the several afflicted communities. The exhibits which have been assembled for the enlightenment of this Conclave are a challenge to this nation in so far as this nation or any part of it denies the fundamental principles of the All-American League, the principles of adequacy and equality of opportunity for every man, woman and child under the American flag. Let every man and woman in California swing in to the great task of developing the tremendous resources of California and the great South West, let every one assume his responsibility to the full. Let every one enjoy his rights to the full. Let no man beg others for his rights. Let no man protest to others for his rights. Let no man whine to others over the denial of his rights. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Let no man assume his rights as a matter of course. Put the burden of proof upon those who seek to deprive you of what is your right. Look the debuachers of true Americanism squarely in the eye, and look "plumb through them." Be a man. America is the place for freeman and not the place for serfs. And remember always—the man who feels that the privileges of one division of American citizen are greater than his, has failed to grasp the full meaning of his own American citizenship.

DR. A. CLAYTON POWELL HONORED BY VIRGINIA STATE CLUB The Virginia Club on last Tuesday evening, Feb. 20, met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Kinney, 972 Austin street. This was a very special occasion for the purpose of entertaining one of Virginia's favorite sons in the person of the distinguished pastor of Abyssinia Church of New York City, Dr. A. C. Powell. It was indeed a memorable occasion for the Virginia Club, which held aloft the banner of their native state and aside from the purely social side a splendid program was rendered and both happy and timely addresses were made by leading citizens who are members of this club. In the absence of the president of the club, Vice President Mr. A. D. Lacy made the address of welcome and of course all who know Mr. Lacy know that if words can express a welcome Lacy will find the words and so in a hearty old Virginia style was Dr. Powell made welcome. And responded in the same spirit and said of all the places in the galaxy of states was dear old Virginia and that he was especially glad to see that out here on the Pacific coast the banner waving high. He spoke of the great hospitality of the state, its great men and his comparisons made even the writer envy the Virginians. After Dr. Powell's address a short program was rendered by the members of the club. Among those who took part was Mr. Lavine; duett by the Mozee Sisters; readings by Mrs. C. Barr, Dr. Stovall and Mr. Andrew Brown; visitors addressed the club with words of encouragement. After which a delightful lunch, such as only these people, natives of Virginia, can prepare, was served; salads, sandwiches, Virginia coffee, ice cream and cake, and we mean cake, just like they make in Virginia. This feature was in every way fit. There were more than sixty members present who came out in a downpour of rain in honor of Virginia's distinguished son. The splendid home of Mr. and Mrs. Kinney was appropriately decorated for the occasion and with the two and the other officers of the club this occasion was made one of the real social affairs.

The mighty triumph of the All American League as to prestige is apparent and now let us have the lasting results that this movement stands for. The Hon. William Edgar Easton who is one of our foremost thinkers and public spirited citizens, has been a valuable asset for the All American League and his speech on last Thursday was one of the very best numbers on the program. Assemblyman Mouser was presented to the people on last Thursday at Exposition Park and received an ovation. As the only Assemblyman in the whole of California that sees to it that the Race gets recognition and also who will protect them to the utmost. We are proud of the fact that we still have left at least a few men like Mr. Mouser and that his efforts on our behalf is duly appreciated. WE TRUST REASON WILL PREVAIL We do not know just what grounds or the source of the movement to make a change in the head of the janitor force at the Hall of Records, but we regret very much to even think that this position is about to be made a pawn in some political intrigues. We admire cleanliness, we admire honesty and industry and S. L. Robinson is the embodiment of these great requisites, and in addition can qualify as an expert on efficiency, and when we have a man of the high character and executive ability of Mr. Robinson it is too bad that his tenure to this position must be contingent on the uncertainties of the turn of some political exigency. We hope this is not true and that Mr. Robinson and his able corps of assistants will not become the victims of a ruthless political decapitation. CIVIL SERVICE A WALL OF STEEL—COLORED ASPI-RANTS NEED NOT APLY In so far as our worthy Colored citizens are concerned under the present regime of the City and County Civil Service Commission, a WALL OF STEEL surrounds the opportunity to qualify for the various city and county positions that are under its control and a higher wall of special tempered steel first wall. This is not a general statement without facts to back it up. Time after time well qualified persons who are fit for far higher positions than they were examined for, have by some hook or crook failed to make the required per cent to be placed on the eligible list, and if perchance they made the per cent and it is found out that they are Colored, they put up the "Nothing Doing" sign. Now then, Attorney H. E. MacBeth struck a responsive chord when he asserted that this procedure must be met and corrected and to that end we are calling on all fair-minded people who stand for justice, fair play and common decency to meet this Civil Service proscription and either make it tote fair or go out of business. NOW HE WANTS TO BE A COUNCILMAN Nomination petitions for Assemblyman Bert L. Farmer as a candidate for the City Council are being circulated. He no doubt feels that in his great stunt at the Assembly when he attempted to humiliate a race of people by the introduction of a resolution that was so insignificant that the speaker ruled it out of order, but which was an insult to the lone Negro attache of the Assembly. On this record in keeping with the tactics of old Vardaman of Mississippi, Cole Blease and Hoke Smith, he will no doubt appeal for support in the coming city campaign. Of course no member of the colored race with one ounce of race pride will for one moment give him their support and that old play that takes in Mississippi will not go in Los Angeles. The fair minded white voters will not stand for it, they believe a man who will in his office as an official for the people do a small snide and cheap thing where a black man is concerned, is none too good to do the same thing for a white man and so is not to be trusted. So we predict that this embryonic statesman in his aspirations as a member of the council will go down to an ignominious defeat and that he will never hear the drum cap and will even fail to qualify at the primaries.

P. met in large numbers Thursday night at the neighborhood hall of the Episcopal Mission on Paloma street, and was favored with an address by the Hon. Geo. H. Woodson of Buxton, Iowa, who spoke on the life of "Frederick Douglass and Humanity." Mr. Woodson in every way lived up to his reputation as one of the most forceful and convincing speakers of this country. And in a masterly manner presented his ideal, his hero, Fred Douglass, but on human rights he reached the heights and convincingly and with telling effect clinched point after point to the delectation of all those present, and at the conclusion of the same he received an ovation. All who failed to hear Mr. Woodson missed a rare treat. The local Association is doing a great work and from the routine of correspondence we noted that they are doing their part in this section of the great propaganda of this great National Association.

Make a Specialty of Chinese and Amer ier I in San Diego Mr. Harace Parker, of Los Angeles came down last Wednesday and filled a job at the Plaza Comfort Station. So far Mr. Parker is well pleased. Mr. Hary Hall "stepped out among 'em" last week and took in the Savoy. He has been expecting a Black Hand letter ever since a certain party shook his list at him? Thanks nothing short about me. The social at Mrs. Langley's last week was a decided success Many were out and the evening was said to have been spent very enjoyably. "Oh, you beautiful baby" has dried her eyes since "Mammy's little coal-black rose" has put in his appearance. News reached us of the death of Mrs. Helen Randolph at the home of her mother at Long Beach. DOUBTFUL COLUMN-I WONDER WHO Are moving picture flends; E. B. and D. K. especially? Was out in 30th St. Sunday? H. B. and E. D. Can outsiest the champion? L. B. and O. G. Owns the Maryland Hotel? H. H. Made the Savoy last week? W. N. H. H. A. M. and E. W. Are sorry of their married life? Be the next to pay their subscription to the Eagle? Why Mr D. B. keeps flirting with the matrimonial bug on the poppy sarand? Why Main 1613 don't ring so often? Why 16th street is getting so popular? Why more of our boys and girls don't attend High School? What will become of the bees that swarm. Coronado Island when the polo games are over? What Mr. C. V. is waiting for? Oh well don't unless you have to. Who turned in 5 cents for his auto checking? Why certain young couples seem to join the "war-bride" column? Why the girls are so jealous of Miss E. B? What's holding the boys away from Point Loma; carfare? Why Master G. P. i she only Colored boy of the High School? Why so many people want to read the Eagle, but do not want to pay for it? They do not consider the high cost of paper. Mr. Al, Ramsey has moved his residence to East San Diego. Mrs. Jack Oliver is the guest of her mother, Mrs. Shannon. Miss Maud Winston should let those eyes behave, as she is sweet and cute enough without so much temptation. If those things can make her fly, what's keeping her down? It seems as if all of Los Angeles and Southern California were in San Diego Thursday and visited Tia Juana, Mexico, where they enjoyed seeing the running of the $5000 handicap. Some came away weaker and wiser; others wiser and weaker. If some milk and soda create acid, what will it take to create excitement on 30th and Groovy? The Patriotic Ball was a grand success, as the music echoed from the walls from 9 p. m. until 2 a. m. People seemed eager to meet their friends and many strangers as well as to tripple over the floor. Oh, but it was real joy to sit and watch them enjoy themselves, mad with excitement for pleasure. The "crowned heads" couldn't have been more pleased had it been a function of the proclamation of World-Peace, satisfaction to all. Mr. Fraisier, of Los Angeles, the tallest employee of the Pullman service, was in town last week, and every one thought he was the new footman at the Grant Hotel. Several of the porters off the Limited paid their respects to the Eagle last week. Everybody knows "Silent Joe," by his "lady" hand-writing. Mrs. Phillips says the Eagle reporters couldn't rest and fixed it so he can't rest; provisdo! Mr. Ell Nickerson, of Klamath Fals, Oregon, is spending his old time friend, John Wilson, better known as "Atlas Frisco." POLITICAL GEMS By Geo. A. Ramsey Now for the big fight in the Coun- cil race. Who's who? cil race. Who's who? Mrs. Emily A. Naylor, candidate for Councilwoman, is gaining many votes from all classes. She possesses the grit and determination that make a first-class candidate. Her winning personality will also help her receive many votes. Mrs. Naylor has been in California 35 years, and has had 18 years' actual business experience. A vote for her is a vote for efficiency. Mr. Albert V. Mayerhefer announced him-elf a candidate for the City Council. It gives us great pleasure in introducing Mr. Mayerhefer to our people, especially to those who may not know him. To find a cleaner man than Mr. Mayerhefer, we are half tempted to say it --- is impossible. Born and reared in California, and one of San Diego's stamch boosters, Mr. Mayerhofer stands for a square deal for all. His efficiency and competency is far above reproach. We heartily endorse Mr. Mayerhofer. Vote for him at the primaries. L. J. Wilde says Hughes talked himself out of the Presidential chair. Let us hope Wilde talks himself into the Mayor's chair. Candidates are springing up like mushrooms after a hard rain. Voter, be careful of the Woodie candidate. Don't let them talk their way in. Make them show you. The Eagle will inform the people about the candidates running for office. Watch the Eagle fly! A big surprise will be sprung in next week's paper regarding some candidates aspiring to offices. We are fearless and are going to make them speak up. No more of this slick tongue oratory to win our vote. Or another words, "bull candidates" that want our vote must be clean and fearless, and give us justice. Watch for the Eagle ticket; it will be selected and announced two weeks before the primaries, and an appeal will be made to vote the ticket straight. San Bernardino Master Kenneth Johnson is confined to his home suffering with the mumps. Mrs. Bazille, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Joseph Tucker, for several months, has returned to her home in Boulder, Colo. She was accompanied home by Mrs. Tucker, who will visit her for several weeks. Mrs. T. W. Andrews and Mrs. W. S. Johnson were the guests of Mrs. F. W. Cooper, of Riverside Sunday. Rev. F. W.

D. Brock, in Redlands. The Sons of Allen of theh A. M. F. church gave an entertainment Tuesdayevening at theeir church, when the musicale club of Riverside gave the concert and play, "Rock of Ages." A large crowd filled the church and heard the splendid program. After the play refreshments were served at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Ingraham. Mr. and Mrs. Bee and Miss Hannah Miller, of Colton, attended the entertainment at the A. M. E. church last Tuesday. FRESNO, CALIFORNIA The Allen Endeavor League of Bethel A. M.

Editor Eagle and All Your Readers: It seems as though the Progressive Educational Association was fast making history, not only for itself, but the Race at large, as so many inquiries have found their way to us personally and in other ways concerning the "back to the land" proposition, that we are forced to the conclusion that the people are getting their eyes opened to the vast possibilities that have been slumbering for lo, these many ages; and now the millennium is in sight, and the Colored man can see his own, realize the good time coming, when want and desolation will no longer stalk abroad, but opulence and plenty will reign in their places.. I am informed upon good authority that the leading people of the Race are availing themselves of the opportunities for getting in on the ground floor of this gigantic proposition, because there have been so many obstacles in the path of progress in the past, that now the door is opened, it will not be long until more land will be required to satisfy the demands and there will practically be no limit to the vast achievements which will not only be possible, but highly probable. The most important question with which we are confronted seems to be the character of the soil of the lands secured, and by what means can a purchaser know the particular acreage that he selects. The first question has been thoroughly explained in previous articles, so as to leave no room for doubt in the minds of reasonable men and women, but I will reiterate the statement made before that the soil is of the very best quality, and will produce anything that can be grown in soil of a similar climate and with similar conditions any where on earth. As to the second question, we will say that the government will have at a very early date the lands resurveyed, and an allotment made whereby it will be made known just exactly where a particular body of land is located. As the writer is associated with the Torrens Title Registry Company, and in fact has made land law and registrations thereof a specialty for many years, he feels that he is in a position to speak understandingly concerning the questions at issue, and when I assure you that the land will be divided into townships, and then subdivided into sections, and quarter sections, and smaller divisions of the quarter sections, you will at once see that there will be no difficulty in ascertaining the exact location of whatever land is selected, and furthermore, those that make early selections will be further rewarded by getting adjacent and contiguous to the city of Gordonia, which will be the principal city of the colony, and destined, at no distant day, to be known throughout the civilized world for its advancement in all the arts and sciences, and for its industrial and scholastic attainments. This fact alone should be an incentive for every man, the head of a family, to avail himself of the chance which offers itself but once in a life time. Now if any of your readers desire further enlightenment all that is necessary is for them to make it known through the medium of The Eagle, and we will be only too glad to be the medium through which the public can be DOWNSHIP THEATRE/CINEMA 100 W. 10TH ST.

M. --- Jan. 28th, Lesson, John 2:13-22 We are aware that many scholars believe that our Lord cleansed the Temple twice. All admit that one cleansing occurred at the las Passover which our Lord attended, a few days before His crucifixion, for this is well attested in Scripture. (Matt. 21:12; Mark 11:15; Luke 19:45.) Today's study is taken from John's Gospel, and because the incident is grouped with others which occurred in the beginning of our Lord's ministry. Although it is claimed that under the law any Jew had the right to do as Jesus did in the matter of driving out the traders, yet very evidently no Jew had previously attempted it; with the small cords He may have driven out the animals, the owners of which would follow them. It will be noticed that He did not set the doves at liberty, but permitted their owners to take them away. The overturning of the table of money-changers would not only stop their usuries exchange business but keep them busy looking after their coin. Time and again our Lord had visited the Temple and had witnessed these same scenes, but did not interfere with them. This we consider to be a proof that the occurrence took place but once, after our Lord had assumed the office of king, just before His crucifixion. Thus the statement, "The zeal of Thine house hath consumed Me," was fulfilled. The Cleansing in the Antitype Our thought is that the antitypical cleansing of the Lord's Temple has been in yrogress since the spring of the year 1878. Within the precincts of the normal Temple of today are many who long have made merchandise of their privileges, opportunities and knowledge. All intelligent people well know that religious matters are made merchandise or to a large extent. Among Roman Catholics everything possible is hedged about with penalties, prohibitions and limitations, so that the people are led to believe that they can present nothing acceptable to God unless they receive it through their priesthood. As for Protestants there are many evidences of the same spirit among them but as they represent a more intelligent class, the exaction which the clergy put upon them are the more refined. Although the collection plate is passed with regularity, the strong appeals are frequently made for money, sometimes with the announcement that nothing inferior to a silver piece will be accepted. It is to the credit of the Protestants that they do not tax the living for prayers and masses for the dead, as do Roman Catholics. Nevertheless it is strongly impressed upon all that membership, either in the Catholic church or in some one of the numerous Protestant denominations is necessary to salvation, and that liebrality to the church of one's choice is also a necessity. Although rarely so stated, the implication is that eternal torment is the alternative for all delinquents. "The Temple of His Body" The Jews demanded of our Lord by what authority He set up so high a standard as He required of them in the cleansing of the Temple. He answered them, Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise it up." (Verse 19). Of course they could not understand that this reply was one of the Lord's dark sayings, which is even yet comprehended by only a few. (Matt. 13:10-17.) The Jews thought our Lord spoke slightly of the Temple of which they were so proud, and which they had been forty-six years in building. They were incensed at Him, and we recall that this statement was one of the charges brought against Him a few days later. Matt. 26:59-62, verse 21, indicates that the disciples got the thought that our Lord referred to His fleshly body as the Temple of God, and supposed that this prediction was fulfilled three days after His crucifixion. (Verse 22.) But we cannot so view the matter. To our underdogs die the Lord of our the church, the Body of Christ, the Temple of His Body. Of this Temple the Apostle Peter subsequently wrote that we as living stones are built up a spiritual house; and St. Paul declared that we are building together for a habitation of God through the spirit. (1 Peter 2:5; Eph. 2:20-22.) To suppose that our Lord spoke of His /fleshly body as the Temple, and to suppose that His fleshly body was raised on the third day, would be to suppose that our Lord did not fully provide the necessary for our redemption. Moreover, such a view would contradict His own statement, "My esh I will give for the life of the world." (John 6:51.) He gave His flesh not only for three days, but forever; and by the Father's power He was raised from the grave the Lord of glory. (Acts 2:23, 24.) As St. Paul declares, "Now the Lord is that Spirit;" and again, Though we have known Christ after the flesh, now know we Him so no more." (2 Cor. 3:17; 5:16.) He was put to death in the flesh, but quickened in the Spirit. (1 Pet. 3:18.) At the beginning of our Lord's ministry His flesh was consecrated to death; and this great sacrifice was symbolized in His baptism. There the New Creature was begotten of the Holy Spirit, a fact to which John the Baptist bore witness. This New Creature crew and developed during our Lord's three and a half years of ministry, and was born of the Spirit in the third day after His death, when He arose from the dead. So then our Lord's body of flesh, which was destroyed by the Jews at Calvary, was not restored on the third day. No restitution work was accomplished in Him, but a complete change, for, as the Apostle declares, "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." 1 Cor. 15:50. But, on the other hand, we have the Scripture declaration that the Church is the body of Christ, of which the consecrated faithful are "members in particular," (1 Cor. 12:27; Eph. 1:22, 23.) We see that as human beings our Lord, the Head of the Church, and all the members of His body have been sacrificing their human nature throughout this Gospel Age; and that in due time this glorious church, the New Creation, will in the First Resurrection come forth a glorious Temple of God composed of living stones and filled with the glory of God. This will be upon the third day also; for if we consider the past six thousand years as six days of a great week, and the Millenial Age as the seventh or Sabbath day of that week, we find that it was early in the fifth day that our Lord sacrificed; that many of His followers suffered likewise during that, and the following sixth day; and that the seventh day, into which we have chronologically entered since 1872, is thus the third day, very early in the morning of which the entire Body of Christ, the King of glory, will be complete, prepared for the great work of the Millenial Age, the blessing of all the families of the earth. A RACIAL DISGRACE Unfair Treatment of the Public by Notoriety Seeking Quacks. integrity and support of our bona fide newspapers and editors, besides injuring the good name and standing of the Black citizenry. Now comes his exit. Feeling that his conduct and reputation is most generally known, the public seems friendly, but not over anxious to fall in with him as of yore. His coffers are now full for one of his kind, election is over. He looks about, sees no one looking and vanishes. No, not from this earth (happily if he did) but to another field to ply his black art anew. Let us continue to support our good churches, our good clean ministers, of which Los Angeles is well supplies, though there are some quacks within the city's gate. Our old and respected citizens know them. They must be cleaned out. Are we willing to do it? I believe we are. Can we do it? I am certain we can. Then let us not stop till we rid ourselves of the Black Spurgeons, the Black Billy Sundays and the other queens and God will bless us.

Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gunhoppers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time.
