California Eagle

Bahia, Brazil, Feb. 11, 1917. To the Los Angeles California Eagle, Los Angeles, Cal., U. S. A. Dear Sirs: I beg this liberty with you just as I have with several others, hoping to persuade you into forgiving after you have heard my story. I beg to announce to you and your friends that having acquired the deeds of a block of land about 14 leguas north of this city, containing about 1,200 hectas of land, equal to above 3,000 acres, upon which after reading that story of lynching at Waco, Texas, I decided to establish a colony for Colored people, where upon I beg both your approval and co-operation. And though I have often thought of this matter, I am now beginning to realize more and more the need for such a thing. Some of which I will try to explain to you to see if you do not agree with them. First the Colored people, after having been in those Southern states nearly 300 years, they are not given the rights of the courts of justice in which to establish their social standing before the courts by the laws which are supposed to regulate matters of this kind. And it appears that their rights will never be respected until they strike out for themselves independently. They must show those white people there that they actually can live elsewhere and without their help. Then the worst of it is that such matters humiliate the whole Colored Race in all parts of the world not speaking of all of you in said country alone. And if one should pause to think what this means no common thing would pacify said person again. Again, here is Brazil, the second largest country on the face of the glome, very sparingly populated, where the people are a complete mixture of Races, where no question of Color or Race is tolerated if not by foreign influence or the Roman Catholic friars. Here is one of the finest climates in the world, plenty of rich earth of the most virgin kind. Where planting and housing can be done every day in the year, where Colored people occupy such positions in the government service as they are able to fil, and that is about all of them. The people here do not work so hard as the Americans, since nature does not require it of them. This is undoubtedly the next great country to be developed, where riches lie upon the surface of the earth, fairly calling men to take it and make use of it, etc. And there is much more which I could easily say without exaggerating one bit, but suffice to say that this is one of the great American countries which must be populated and developed. And if one remembers the Monte doctrine it is right in line with these ideas. Then remembering that the only way for a people to expect all of their respect, is to have their people live independent of other people or in a colony until they have established their capability as an efficient people and acquired a thorough working knowledge of the country and its people. As it is never good for a people to throw themselves helplessly upon the mercy of another until everything has been done to retain their independence and social equilibrium. And here is just what inspires them to always work hard to obtain and then to maintain a dignified relation with their neighbors. And for the Colored people to come into a country where both the language and customs of the people are strange without them possessing much capital or officially representing their government for a time, puts them at the mercy of the natives in a way that even in the midst of great prosperity it would be hard for them to redeem themselves for a long time. Unless they were permitted to live in a colony to themselves where their acquaintances could be gradually made. Immigration from or migration to a country to be successfully done, or carried out, should be systematically managed. Although the black man is The California Eagle to be found in about every civilized country in the world, he is seldom playing a leading role. And therefore, seldom enjoys the same respect of another people of similar condition. And every generation makes it worse and worse, until they actually leave their old haunts for a place where they are not known. And ever going there without liberal training they can seldom take full advantage of their opportunities. Because they are wholly without training or experience. And every time they make a mistake it simply shows them up all the more. And before that they have learned how to act they have children whom they actually cower, before the child can form an independent view of its surrounding. And there it goes for another generation with everybody taking advantage of their condition. Now to destroy all of this at one stroke, I have decided that a colony in a country like this, where the people of the land are not accustomed to better living and not experienced in any higher civilization, even if they have more liberty than the emigrant. And again our emigrants will not be subject to the dictations of their new neighbors while they make a living in the country, during which time they are growing accustomed to dictate for themselves and to correctly assert their opinions in public affairs. And once they have become confidential in their own selves and people, it would be hard for another people of equal strength to disconcert them. And all the while they are leaining how to shift entirely for themselves in every walk of life. The government will learn to respect them for their progressiveness and grant important conditions whereupon to help them teach the natives, such as they could never have hoped for at home. Now, having made this point practically clear to you, it remains for me to tell you more about my immediate plans and the land which we have to do it on. Our land consists of about 2,000 acres of open land and 1,000 of woodland. All of it is pretty handy to the sea. There are about 80 individual land renters living about on this estate. But we would remove them if our colonizing plans are participated in. Yet this would not have to be done in great haste, as their houses and modes of living and working would not do for our colonists, nor do they render any profit from the property as it is now conducted. Hence we must buy modern machinery and tools generally for farming, lumbering and building, etc. Our new comers would be the people to do this work. And as our own money would be used they would be paid by the day, week or month, by the opportunity to buy from us and build for themselves or let us build for them. Most of our product would bring handsome prices right here, in this city. And if we found is wise we could export such things as would pay us to and import from you there such things as this market needed from you. We should do whatever paid best, while producing as much of the necessities of life as possible from the land. One of the first things we need is a small boat to do our own freighting. We need stock, cattle and fowls to work, eat and breed on our estate, to sell. We have a magnificent pasture in which to keep cows, for milk or meat. As both of these products bring quick sales and good profit here. We hope too to establish a fine brickyard there, a saw mill and probably some other manufacturing which we know to be of value here. And here is how we calculate on paying back the money we borrow with an interest, whether it is done as a colony or as an individual firm. We would like ever so much to establish the colony but we should not remain alone, waiting for colonists after having the money in hand. The business will go on just the same and as shall be. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 2, 1917 POOR ORIGINAL our promises to our creditors just as we have done so far. So that to borrow the money is our first object, to develop what we already own is the next. And the colonists can come when they learn that it is to their advantage to do so. However, it delights us to have them. Not that we have anything to give them nor do we expect anything from them for nothing; as some might take it it is nearly forty (40) years now that I have been slaving in this way and cause. And not yet have asked anything of others in their name or anything from them in the name of some good I was doing them. And even now we take this means rather to be able to build up the colony quickly. And no man will be permitted to dominate the rest. Colored people go from place with white people and when the heavy work is over they are sent about their business with nothing more than what they consumed or received while there. The strength of the Germans lies in this kind of co-operation in every country in the world. But with every people who goes into a strange country must do this or be ever at the mercy of others. And if all other people find it profitable to leave one place for another; why not those Colored people from those states where their lives and liberties do not counterbalance the whims of others. Our plans are simple. We are willing to accept the money in sums ranging from $100 up. And would rather have it from Colored people who wish to see us succeed with our plans. But their money would be loaned upon a basis of from 3 per cent to 10 per cent interest. Or they could buy interests in what we have and help us develop it. We must change everything there anyway, as it is now running on a backward system which does not pay well. Hoping now that we have satisfied you that our boldness was not for an entire selfish nor idle purpose, and that we shall have your sympathy if not your co-operation. And that we may hear from you soon with whatever questions you choose to ask. I beg to say that I am P. S.—I am of the opinion that the Colored or Black Race does not need to be given anything but their rights, and a faithful leadership from among them. We are not an idle or cowardly people, nor are we common parasites and loafers; any more than any other Race. But we have been the constant prey of unscrupulous people who were well organized for the purpose. And so soon as we are well organized for self defense, then will be begin to shake them off. And all of our rights with some others will be forthcoming. I am not fighting anything more the absolute social, civil and political equality to all who deserve it. And this is the foundation of all civil laws and good government. Those white Southerners may learn some day to respect a Mexican, or even a West Indian, but a Negro, never! unless there shall come a great struggle between them and the Negroes become the victors. And the disrespect they hold for those at home will attempt to show itself abroad. SEEKS TO BE SCHOOL TRUSTEE Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 16. For the first time in the history of this city a member of the Race is a candidate for school trustee. Dr. Dennis A. Bertha has announced his intention of entering the race on a nonpartisan ticket. Dr. Bertha is a graduate of Princess Anne Academy College and stood first in his class at Jenner College, Chicago, Ill. He is a post graduate of Harvard University and won the Philomathan assay prize while at Harvard. Besides being well known in the medical profession, he is director of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society and president of the Epworth aLague. He is a member of the Vigo Medical Society and has the promised support of a large num NEGRO NDERTAKERS AND BUSINESS MEN OF NO CAROLINA TO OPERATE $50,000 CASKET FACTORY. The Colored undertakers and business men of North Carolina have incorporated a $50,000 casket factory to be located at Fayetteville, N. C., which will employ about 75 or 100 Colored people. It has behind it the co-operation of the Colored Undertakers' Associations through the United States. It is the only institution of its kind among our people and it is hoped that it will stimulate the Negroes to undertake other new institutions of employment for our people, doing away with much idleness which is a curse to the Race. The men behind the organization are reputable business men of great experience. Much of this stock has been sold among the undertakers at the par value of $25 per share and there is $10,000 worth of the stock the concern is offering the public at $25 on the terms of 20 per cent cash and the balance at $2 per month. It is one of the best investments that could be made because of the fact nature has created a demand for caskets and funeral supplies which will continue so long as time goes on. Circular matter pertaining to the stock on sale will be sent to the address of any desiring the same. The day has arrived when the Negroes must learn to become producers as well as consumers, and there is no better time nor any better way than through the effort being put forth by the Fayetteville Coffin and Casket Company. For circular matter, address the Fayetteville Coffin and Casket Company, Fayetteville, N.C. R. C. Sometime Tuesday night after 11 o'clock at his home, 938 Washington street, Long Beach, Calif. Dr. Steele, pastor of the A. M. E. church, died. Dr. Craw of First A. M. E. church, this city, was informed of his death early Wednesday and in company with Revs. Johnson and Price journeyed to Long Beach Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Frank Myers, local preacher in Dr. Steel's church, who lives at 1142 California ave.; Long Beach, and other faithful members of this church then imparted the information of Dr. Steele's death as well as they could. Dr. Steele suffered from heart trouble and Tuesday afternoon had an attack of indigestion that took him to his bed for a few hours. He got up later feeling quite well and was up as late as 11 o'clock at night visiting in the home of Mrs. L. C. Davidson, a faithful member and the owner of the parsonage. He left and went home apparently in good condition. Next morning Mr. Myers and Cartwright called by to see him and finding no signs of life they went in and found him dead. The body was taken to the E. H. Cleveland Undertaking Co. and is there now awaiting instructions from his mother at Kirkwood, Mo., who was informed of his death by Dr. Craw. No funeral arrangements will be made until Dr. Craw gets a hearing from Dr. Steele's mother. Dr. Steele formerly postured the First A. M. E. churches at Pinebrook and Oak THE LAW MAKERS GET TING DOWN TO BUSINESS Promptly at 12 o'clock Speaker Young of the Assembly on last Monday with a resounding whack of the gavel called the second semester of the 1917 session of the State Assembly of California to order, and while there were a few absentees the major portion of the Assembly was present and in readiness for the sixty days, of legislative milling. Mouser Draws Again In the announcement of committees Assemblyman Mouser was named as the chairman of the committee on introduction of bills. Patribtic Resolution Assemblyman Hawson of Fresno County introduced a resolution upholding the President in the pending crisis, which motion was ably seconded by Assemblyman C. W. Watson of Los Angeles and the same was passed by a unanimous vote. The first session was purely a formal one and set the scenery for the subsequent session of Tuesday. Tuesday's Session Among the first resolutions of this day's session was one which brought joy to the hearts of the attaches when they were placed back on the pay roll. At this session a resolution was introduced eulogizing the life and character of the late Major General Frederick Funston and Assemblyman Wishon spoke most eloquently on the same, he being a resident of the same state that General Funston hailed from (Kansas). He was well acquainted with the facts of his career. Wednesday's Session The bill which provoked the most discussion of any measure so far considered was the tidelands bill, championed by Assemblyman Smith, floor leader of the majority. A great deal of discussion was brought out. Assemblyman Ambrose of Los Angeles spoke at length on the same and made a favorable impression. Legislative Notes Assemblyman C. W. Watson, although a member of the minority, commands the respect of the entire Assembly. There is nothing small about Mr. Watson and he is a true representative in every sense of the word. Assemblyman C. W. Lyons of Venice is a coming statesman and has no trouble whatever in making himself understood on the floor of the Assembly. He has the voice, the personality, and in fact, all the requisites for a successful law maker. Edward J. Sullivan of the public employment bureau at Los Angeles has been a visitor at the capitol for a few days. Mr. Sullivan has recently become a resident of the 39th Senatorial District and expects when Senator Henry H. Lyons is elected to the City Council, to be a candidate for senator from that district. Assemblyman J. J. Ryan, who is also the speaker pro tem of the assembly, is one of the strong forces of the assembly. He is popular with all the members and a man of the people. W. J. Leflar, sergeant at arms, is one of the most popular officials which has ever filled this very important position. He plays no favorites, and his entire force appreciate and respect him for the same. Arthur A. Ohuimus, who is the chief clerk for the sergeant at arms, is one of the most painstaking and obliging officials of the assembly. He is necessarily popular as all of the members as well as attaches, depend on Mr. Ohuimus to keep their accounts straight and to receive their warrants. He conducts the business of this department in a straightforward business manner. the very important committee on capital and labor. He has a man's work and then to look after his political fences in Los Angeles, where he is a candidate for the council, makes his task a double one, but he gets there just the same. A nation climbs through centuries to empire. Through much labor and ingenuity the empire is built up, but by some small blunder it falls. So has it ever been and so shall it ever be. The giant exertions put forth in the climb upwards of a people are speedily undone by some childish effort which is quite sufficient for the downward journey. History affords magnificent examples of the rise and falls of the empires of Europe. We have noted the passing of the world's scepter from Rome down to Germany. All Races, like all individuals, were not always great. Once upon a time the ancestors of the most powerful Races of mankind that govern the nations of this earth were lower in the scale of civilization than we. Even Africa is a dark continent to all but its inhabitants. The ruins that lie upon its surface speak of an enlightened past, a time of good order and good government even while Europe lay steened in ignorance. The first indispensable factor in the building of a nation is the home. The home is the rallying place of affection. It is around the paternal hearth that children begin to observe. It is from this fireside that they battle for a place for themselves and those who love them. The future of the child should be the chief concern of parents. All the affections of a kind loving father and mother, lavished upon a son or a daughter, all the self-dignal, retinence and deprivations will in their final and best results return to the home from which they emanate. If you have done your duty as parents in the home, von will feel no fear in throwing your children broadside into the arena of life, for they will play their part well, and fulfill their mission aerseeably to vou, to themselves, to God. The Hebrew child was given to God through circumcision in infancy. He was tawht the most useful lessons of life. It was required that they learn a trade. Even the lowly Nazarete was the son of a carpenter. Even so, this nation must provide for the education of its youth, nor does the charve end there. it must provide suitable and adequate facilities for the mannel, industrial and philosophic education of its boys and girls. Upon the civilization of the minds of our women denies the wisdom of our men. Mothers see to the conduct, the education and character of your daughters. And von fathers, see to the training in selection of a trade or a profession for your bows. The mothers and fathers of Israel were good men and women and that partly accounts for the Hebrews producing such great men as Moses, Joshua, Sampson, Samuel, etc. What the Churches ‘are Doing JESUS FEEDS THE FIVE THOUSAND March 4—John 6:1-14. Text—“Give us this day ou daily bread.”—Matthew 6:11. Mark 6:55. Jell us that wher "the multitude which had been lis tening to the teachings of Jesus seeing His miracles, etc., learnet that He had gone to the othe: side of the Sea of Galilee, many of them went afoot in the sam general direction in which he ha¢ _gone, seeking Him. At this par ticular season many had made ar rangements to go up to Jerusalem to the feast, and therefore were on a holiday journey. Excited by ‘Herod’s conduct bewildered and wondering as tc the “Messiah, turned aside from their journey to hear more from the lips of the great Prophet, Je sus of Nazareth, and to see {or themselves whether He possesse¢ the qualifications for the Messiah- ship, for the deliverance of their nation, for’ the establishment o} the Kingdom of God. Our Lord who had already planned the mir- acle, led the minds of His disci- ‘ples up to the point by inquiring, “Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?” This question was addressed to Philip, one of the Apostles. Our Lord’s reason for addressing Philip seems to have been that he was ofrather a business turn of mind, and al- though this is an excellent dispo- sition to have among the Lord’s followers , nevertheless it is in- clined to think of earthly means rather than to exercise faith in the Lord. Probably the Master wish- ed to awaken Philip's thought and especially to bring him profitable instructions and faith through this miracle. Philip's answer, that it would require two: hundred pennyworth of bread (about $32.00) to supply the multitude even a light lunch- con, shows his business traits. White a'l_ the various casts of mind are to be found among the Lord's people, the business head is amongst the most useful if kept: under proper restrait of love and faith-love, that it may not per- mit business instincts to take sole charge of spiritual affairs, and faith that it may be able to real- ize that although business meth- ods are excellent in all the dffairs of life, yet they: must not be per- mitted to ignore faith in the Lord and in the power jof His might, and in the loving interest which He takes in all the affair of His church, the new: creation. The Use of Means Illustrated Andrew, whose mind seemed to have been less practical than that of Philip, suggested that one of the company had five little barley cakes and two small fishes. Hard- ly had he made the remark when he felt’ ashamed of it and added, “But what are they among so many?” Our Lord, however, had use not only for the broader mind of Philip, but also for the more simple and less logical mind of Andrew. Consequently He used the latter's suggestion by calling for the small supply. The lesson here is that miracles are to be ex- pected only after we have done all in our power and with the means at hand. The’ old sailor said if he was certain that the Lord had commanded him to jump through a stone wall, he would jump at the wall and leave to the Lord all that was beyond his power. So it is with all the affairs of life. We are to make gure that we are in the Lord's way, that we are following His directions; and then we are to. gave-all the results to Him, as- ured of His ability to work any miracle. Nevertheless, the great. est miracle with which any of us ave to do are of a quiet and un- entatious kind. In nature we tee these miracles in the growing grain, which ‘under Divine provi- jence ‘supplies our needs in re- ponse.to our labor- The increase of the five barley. loaves and’ the two little’ fishes was, we may be gure, not more of a miracle than at whichis continually going Lis nature. It is merely of 3 ferent: kind,’to' which we are accustomed, Neverthéless as t Lord'“ised the barley cakes he fishes as the: nucleus. for. Ee ae mua a In other words, He always uses means to an end, and the fact that we may see and understand the ‘means does riot make the miracle either greater or less. A proper view connects the Lord with all the affairs of this life as well as with that to come.. Then the dis- ciples distributed to them the five little cakes and the’ two fishes in pieces, which apparently grew as they were broken, much after the ‘manner of the widow’s cruse of gil. (Kings 17:10-16.)' As theoil flowed incessantly ‘until all the pots had been filled, so under the Lord’s blessings the. little supply |of food increased until all the mul- ‘titude were filled, satisfied, want- led no more. Here was a miracle which astounded not only the dis- ciples, but also the thousands that partook of the food., It was what John called a sign, an evidence of lour Lord's supernatural. power land authority—a proof that He was indeed thé sent of God, the Messiah. This was the object of the miracle, not the feeding of the five thousand. At that same time there were doubtless in various parts of the world hungry ones whom the Lord could have fed without any trouble to Himself; but He came not to feed the world. He come not to stop the pain, sorrow and dying, but to|re- deem the world ‘and to give ¢vi- dence which would enable all/Is- raelites, indeed, in whom fhere was no guile, to accept Hifn by faith as the Messiah-evidence which coming down to us of the Gospel Age, has been the founda- tion of,our faith. Wealth and Economy Blended Although our Log was rich be- fore He came into tle world, and although He realized that through the power of God in Him He could still have all that was nec- essary for His well being and could provide for His followers, as shown in the miracle before us and also on other occasions, nev- ertheless, with all this wealth at His command, our Lord was a zreat economist. From ‘His stand- point nothing should be wasted. It was in harmony with this prin- -ipal of His character that, after the multitude had been thorough- ly fed, He instructed the discipies fo gather up the fragments that nothing be wasted. Thereupon hey took up twelve haversacks ull. Each one of them gathered the full of hig bag, or satchel, or haversack, called in our lesson a basket. There are two lessons lor us; one of generosity, and one of economy. To some this lesson may come more easily than to others, but it is a usual experi- ence in life that wilful waste brings woeful want. This does not teach us that we should be miserly, however; for the Scrip- ture declares, “There is that scat- rereth, yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but-it tendeth to poverty.” (Proverbs 11:24.) Those who had scattered to others had in the end their haversacks full and had gained a supply for themselves. We can apply this lesson to spiritual things. LENTEN SERVICES ST.

If I could take me to my bed And Garner every word I've said, Remember every word I've read, And find no dream within me dead; If through each hour each word word had been Unselfish, clean, and free from sin; If I had listened to the din, And found some secret way to win; To win myself and other men, Back to the ancient truths again; If I could note with golden pen, One perfect day's more perfect end; Whose sun had set on men at peace, Where each was wont to take his ease, Beneath his wine and fruiting trees, Who children played about knees; If I could feel that all the best, Of thoughts or deeds within the breast, Had been performed with fervent zest Of Brotherhood; then I could rest. —William Nauns Ricks.

Our Employment Department is still calling for all classmates of workers. MRS. M. E. SCOTT, Pres. MISS LOUISE WILLIAMS, Sec. The capacity of the Sojourner Home was taxed last Monday, to listen to the narrative of the Life of Sojourner Truth, which was so pathetically yet beautifully told by Mrs. J. H. Wilson. Everyone who heard the stories of this noble mother, must have asked themselves if they were measuring up to the opportunities and requirements for helping others. Mrs. Ethel Miller Thomas sang with much pathos the beautiful song, "Oh Eyes That Are Weary," that brought heart-throbs, and tears to the eyes of the audience, A Piano Solo by Miss Fannie Wilson, a pupil of Prof. Wilkins' School of Music, was heartily applauded and appreciated, and the predictions are that she is one of the coming pianist of the race.

Frosh last Friday, two dusky "sons of Ham" attracted the attention of the enthusiastic fans. The elongated Emmit Wyndon took third place in the half mile, much to the chagrin of the "peregreens." Howard Patrick defended the honors in the weight events, to the best of his ability and although he did not place, he has no alibi. We're for you, Pat. We hear that the honorable Dewy Johnson would do better to get down to hard training instead of talking so much. We could easily look over his failure to place in the broad jump had he not puffed us up with expectation with his confident boasting. Pillow, Lewis and Dickinson had their chance last Wednesday, but as this was the first appearance of the Blue and White Sons of Mercury, there was nothing spectacular in the results, but we all know "Bill" and his friends and we wish them the compliments of the track season. JEFFERSON HIGH Despite the fact that this is a young school they are filled with "pep" and are enthusiastic over athletics. We have the assurance that at least three of our boys are making high bids for positions on the baseball team. "Chuck" Black looks good for a Julius Baker berth, Peterson has third base about cinched and Rozier aspiries to be a shortstop. Eulogy To My Father. A Pilgrim and a Stranger, Papa, You journeyed here below; Far distant is your Country, The home to which you go; Here you must toil and travel, Oft weary and opprest, But there your God shall lead you To everlasting rest. You met with storm and danger, Even from your early years, With enemies and coflicts, With fighting and with fears, There's nothing here that temps you To wish a longer stay, So you must hasten forward, No halting or delay. tt is a well worn pathway— Many have gone before: The Holy saints and prophets, The patriarchs of yore, They trod the toilsome journey, In patience and in faith; And them you fain would follow, Like them in life and death. Farewell Papa, you are going forward, You want the end to come; This land of your sojourning Is not your destined home, The foes must be encountered, The dangers must be past, Only a faithful soldier Receives the crown st last. Farewell Papa, there you shall dwell forever, No more a stranger guest, with all Thy blood-bought children in everlasting rest. The pilgrims toils forgotten, The pilgrims conflicts over, All earthly grief behind you, Eternal joys before. —John H. Wooten.

TOOK REVENGE FOR DEATH OF HIS WIFE OLD FOLKS' HOME OF FOURTH SUNDAY Money and Furniture The Old Folks' Home ed and dedicated on the day, March 25th, with an emonies at the new build wood Road, near Abila Watts. Non-Sectarian The home is built for and for that reason wil Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 2]—Two little boys (one white) got to fighting in a town a few miles from here and the result was that the mother of the Race boy slapped the white one. Twelve men formed a mob and took her to the outskirts of the city and lynched her. They hung her body to a tree and then went to where her husband was working and asked him to come and help them cut down a cow which was too heavy for them. He went and was dumb-founded when he saw that it was his wife. He humbly begged of them to allow him to go home and get a sheet to wrap it around her. They consented. While in the house he put his Winchester under the sheet and came back. They waited to watch him, but he had beat them to it. Approachtherm, he opened fire, killing six. Before they could get to him he made his escape. The Associated Press never said anything about the matter. TIRED OF SOUTHERN JUSTICE Chicago Defender News Service Birmingham, Ala.; Feb. 2.—W. H. Alexander (white), 2204 Fifth avenue, has written a letter to the Birmingham News about the redhaired white men not being protected, and that the police be given more power to arrest members of the Race. He did not say one word about the white men that have ruined and ravished women of the Race and nothing done about it. He did not say one word about white men who were guilty and not even taken to court. Such injustice is the cause of the sweeping drive of our people north; many becoming tired of the white man's justice. The article in the daily paper was answered by Rev. T. J. Moppins, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church. PASTOR PREFERS GOOD NEGRO TO BAD WHITE MAN FOR DAUGHTER Startling Statement by Pastor of Euclid Ave. Baptist Church—Fashionable West End Congregation Shocked St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 16—Those who attended a meeting of the patrons of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church Tuesday night of last week were fairly taken off their feet when the pastor, Rev. George L. Hale (white), in prescribing "dont's" for the marrying girl, declared: "I would rather either of my daughters kept company with the blackest Negro in St. Louis, if he had a pure character, than the whitest white who was a scorner of religion and immoral." Rev. Hale reiterated his statement, but refused to make further comment on it. His list of don'ts for girls contemplating marrying emphasized the following: Don't marry a house and lot. Don't marry a clothes horse or a loafer. Don't marry a man for money; but marry a man with money. Don't marry an immoral man. By that I mean youths who stand upon the street corners and make remarks about passing women. Don't marry a man who belittles your ability to help him or has no regard for your mental powers and your heart. Don't marry a man who has no regard for religion. Don't marry a perfect man, or the man who believes himself perfect. His microscopic eye will enlarge your faults. Then he continued: "A girl should hang out a sign over her door which should be inscribed: 'Wanted—a man who is gentle, just, upright, true to his trust, sober, earnest, merry and gay; none others need apply.'" CRADLE EMPTY OR FULL CRADLE EMPTY OR FULL Is the subject of an address that will be delivered by Dr. Eugene C. Nelson at Wesley Chapel, Sunday afternoon, March 11, at three o'clock. All women are urged to be present and join in the after discussion. OLD FOLKS' HOME OPENS ON FOURTH SUNDAY Money and Furniture Needed The Old Folks' Home will be opened and dedicated on the fourth Sunday, March 25th, with auspicious ceremonies at the new building on Linwood Road, near Abila station in Watts. Non-Sectarian The home is built for old people, and for that reason will be strictly non-sectarian. Qualified persons will be welcomed as inmates, without regard to whether they belong to any church or society. Admittance fee will be one hundred dollars ($100.00), payable in advance. Arrangements are being perfected so that different societies, lodges, association, churches and other organizations may maintain inmates on as elaborate plans as may be desired. Money and Furniture Needed $2,000 is urgently needed to complete the building fund, and to provide a furnace and furniture. Donations of money, should be made payable to the Building Fund of Western Baptist Association, and sent in care of Afue McDowell, secretary of directors, 256-8 Wilcox Building, Main 3935. Los Angeles Donations of furniture and bedding are needed. As a uniform style of furniture has been decided upon, it is requested that before purchasing furniture, donors will confer with any of the directors, or with any of the following named committeemen: S. P. Johnson, Mrs. J. Davis, 176 South Utah street, Boyle 2660, Los Angeles; Rev. F. W. Cooper, East 11th street, Riverside; Rev. J. M. Riddle, 160 So. Vernon; Mrs. S. B. Strickland, 849 Worcester Avenue; Mrs. W. E. Ford, 912 South Pasadena avenue, all in Pasadena. Request for Donations To Lodges, Societies and Churches; The Western Baptist Association appreciates the donations made toward the building fund at the November rally held at the Old Folks' Home. As the home will be open to worthy applicants without regard to religious or fraternal connections, the Building Committee hereby requests that further financial donations be made for the home. A special opening and dedicatory service will be held at the home, on the fourth Sunday, March 25th, to which each lodge, society, club and church is requested to send a representative, with a donation toward the fund being raised to finish paying for the erection of the building and for a furnace.

JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large oil lots and an interest in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil as well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have been sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investors will have the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells, to sell their land for just as much or more. We have only one thousand shares in all, (each share consists of eight lots, being one-fourth of an acre,) therefore the profit for each share will be large. The following illustration will show the profit each investor will receive out of a certain number of barrels at the present price of oil: Should our first well prove to be a 5,000 barrel producer, then each share of eight lots will receive $150 a month and should the first four wells produce 20,000 barrels, then each share of eight lots will receive $600 a month.
