Hiram Makes Touching As He Vacates ernor HARTSOOK PHOTO HIIRAM W AT THE STATE CAPITAL (By Our Staff Writer) The crowning feature of this week's session was the ceremonies incident to the resignation of Governor Hiram W. Johnson and the inauguration of Governor Wm. D. Stephens, which took place at high noon on Thursday. Long before the hour set for the exercises to begin the assembly was filled to its utmost capacity, all eager to hear the parting words of the governor and to see and near the new one. After the Senate had been ushered into the Assembly chamber, the roll of both houses was called, a quorum of each house, announced, when Speaker Young turned over the gavel to Senator Breed, the president of the Senate, who in turn presented Gov. Johnson. At the conclusion of Gov. Johnson's remarks, President Breed made an eloquent address commending the great work of the x-governor and bidding him God speed in the wider field in the U. Senate and predicted that he would yet attain the presidency. As he made this prediction the vast audience gave vent to their probation by applauding for several minutes. The president then summoned the sergeant at arms of the senate and the house and commanded them to carry the resolutions adopted by the joint body and the resignation of the governor to the office of the secretary of state and there to file them. At this time President of the Senate, Senator Breed, introduced Governor Stephens' who took the oath of office as governor of the great state of California. In brief address he pledged himself anew to California and to perpetuate the principles of his distinguished predecessor, he received an ovation from the vast assembly. ```markdown ``` The W. Johnson Farewell Address Office of Gov- of State JOHNSON THEY GET UNDER COVER The Gelder Bill was passed with amazing alacrity on Wednesday my by the Assembly. This bill makes it a misdemeanor to solicit an advertisement, sell a ticket or to approach a candidate for any office with any proposition that means that he must spend money. Only fifteen voted against the measure. Among the Los Angeles delegation that voted against it were Messrs. Harry Lyons, Phillips, Merriam, Farmer, Bartlett and Wright. This bill will make hard pickings for some of the easy livers who wait from campaign to campaign for work and on this basis eke out a miserable existence. Our New Governor On last Thursday at high noon Gov. Hiram W. Johnson relinquished the reins as chief executive of the great state of California and turned over to Lieut., now Governor W. D. Stephens that exalted position, the great record made by Gov. Johnson is one of marvelous progress and we verily believe that Gov. Stephens is the one man who will be equal to the occasion, a man who will not only carry out the forward policies of Gov. Johnson, but who will even do the things that will in a measure bring to the state a uniting of forces to the end that even greater results may be achieved, and with Senator Johnson in a wider field in the United States Senate, may give of his ripe experience to the end that California shall for years to come stay in the front rank in the mighty march of progress in promulgating the principles that mean the most good for all of the people. War as well as politics can now be said to make strange bedfellows. California Eagle San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 17, 1917 About three months ago, Mrs. Mary Parker and husband left Los Angeles to seek their fortune in Yuma, Ariz. After being there a while, the husband, Mr. Parker, succeeded in securing some work in a small neighboring town, about ten miles from Yuma. At this time it was not convenient to have Mrs. Parker with him at his place of work, so she remained in Yuma, and boarded and lodged with a Mexican family there. For some reason or other, as yet unknown, Mrs. Parker decided that she wanted to return to Los Angeles, so she packed her grip last Wednesday a week ago, March 7th, and was quite ready apparently to leave. Before doing this, however, she called the Mexican woman to her and offered to pay her up for her board and lodging while there, but as the woman had no change, her husband (the Mexican) told her (Mrs. Parker) to try and get the money changed at the nearest grocery store, which was a mile away. The shades of night had already begun to steal across the town, for it was now after six o'clock, but the poor unfortunate woman did not stop to consider this, but agreed readily, and was off on the mission which fate had decreed should be hers. She never returned to the home of the Mexican with the change. No one as yet knows if she ever got to the grocery, but everyone did know that she was missing. Saturday morning's sun rose high in the clouds that day with a purpose, for later during the day it disclosed the body of the missing woman within a thick brush. There she lay, a most horrible sight for any one to behold, much less for any one to have committed the deed. Her tongue was completely out of the mouth almost, showing signs of choking; her eyes, there were none, only the places for them were there; her skull was a pulp; her hands tied together behind her, and nowhere could a trace of any of her clothes be found. The husband had been assisting in the hunt for the missing woman, and immediately upon discovering the body, he brought it to Los Angeles, where the funeral took place on Friday, March 16th, at Smith & Williams undertaking parlors. Further investigations are to be made by the family and relatives of the woman, along with the authorities. DUTY OF NEGRO SOLDIERS QUESTIONED BY SOUTH- ERN-WHITES While interviewing Sgt. Thomas Jordan a few days ago, The Eagle man was told that some days ago while conducting 21 white prisoners taken from Fort Huachuca, Arizona, to Fort Leavenworth, by a detachment of the 10th Cavalry with Supply Sgt. Thomas Jordan in charge, and Sgt. Paterson of Troop "K" of the 10th Cavalry, who was captured at Carrish, Mexico, with him. "The trip," said Sgt. Jordan, "was pleasant while in Mexico, but when the troopers with their prisoners reached Texas at the Southern Pacific station where Southern whites were lined up, they questioned why Colored soldiers should be detailed to transfer white prisoners, causing considerable confusion, but Sgt. Jordan knew his business and soon quelled the confusion. The Los Angeles Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. will give a grand musical contest and concert Friday evening, April 13, at Blanchard hall. Some of Los Angeles best talent will participate on the program, which will contain many novelties. Remember the date, Friday, April 13, and the place, Blanchard Hall. Good music in attendance. Admission, 35c. Mr. and Mrs. J. Brindson journeyed to Oakland on last Sunday to be present at the birthday of their married daughter in Oakland. Mr. H.. Shannon and Ernest Burr of San Francisco were visitors in our city on last Monday. Mrs. E. Wilson, 1015 Fifth St., has been on the sick list. Hon. Oscar Hudson, leading attorney of San Francisco, was a business visitor Wednesday. St. Andrews A. M. E. church had a banner crowd to its evening service on last Sunday. Rev. Harvey preached a memorable sermon and truly the old church is moving on. Mr. Stephen Thompson, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Scott of 406 22nd St., entertained on last Thursday evening in honor of Editor J. B. Bass and C. W. Wilson, who are attaches at the state capital during the legislature, a delightful evening was spent, the whist kings from Los Angeles met their Waterloo at the hands of R. Pankey and E. Johnson. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Flood, Mr. and Mrs. E. Johnson, Messrs. Frank Kinney, Geo. Morton. Refreshments were served and Stephen Thompson and his parents certainly proved themselves capable of making the tsrangers feel at home to the utmost. The Young Men's Assembly Club are very busy making ready for their grand Easter ball. The Sacramento Whist Club held their regular meeting last week at the residence of Mr. Peck. Dr. R. J. Fletcher and Powell were given a whist lesson on last Wednesday by the kings from Los Angeles. The old war horse and his very estimable wife, Jacob Soreas, entertained at dinner Wednesday evening, Editor J. B. Bass and C. W. Wilson. It was an enjoyable evening to both the visitors, and hosts. Mrs. Soreas is an epicurist of no mean ability and her distinguished husband excels as an entertainer. It was one of those good old at home affairs which will live long in the memory of all present. At the informal reception given in the executive office after the exercises in the Assembly, Rev Harvey, pastor of the A. M. E. church said to Senator Johnson, "Senator, we as a race put our trust in you." The colored citizens of Sacramento are not up on the issues of either state or national government as indicated by attendance on such a momentous occasion as on Thursday, by actual count there were only three representatives of the race present and two of those were attaches of the legislature. TO ALL FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS AND BONA FIDE CLUBS, AND TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL The Western Baptist Association takes this opportunity of informing you that the grand opening of the Old Folk's Home will take place on Sunday March 25, 1917, and we invite every organization and citizen to be present on that occasion, and assist us in raising the funds necessary to pay off the builders of the beautiful home, and to furnish it ready for occupancy, the Association wants to thank the organizations and friends for what they did for us at the corner stone laying, and urge upon you to come to our relief at this time, Sunday, March 25, will be a great day at the home, which is located near Watts. A fitting program for the occasion will be rendered. REV. J. D. GORDON, Moderator. REV. J. M. RIDDLE, Chairman of Bldg. Com. S. P. JOHNSON, Sec. REPUBLICS OF HAYTI AND SAN DOMINGO Historical Data By Dr. J. Zeigner Uriburu The Spanish island of San Domingo was the place of the first Spanish settlement in the New World; it was also, three centuries later, the scene of a bloody revolution, after which there was formed two independent states. The excursions of English, French and Dutch filibusters compelled the government of Spain to send squadrons to fight them. After many alternatives, a French marine, Bertram D'Ogeron, formed the first dwelling of the island (1664). D'Ogeron placed, little by little, the French domination in the western region, which was not recognized officially by Spain until the treaty of Rysweck (1697). The island remained then divided in two portions, unequal by its extension and the surrounding conditions. The French possessed in the west almost a third of it, while the Spanish possessed the rest. The administration of the French colony was similar to that of the Spanish. It established a violent line of demarcation which produced profound hate among the islanders. In the meantime the French revolution made a famous declaration of the "Rights of Man" (Aug. 20, 1789) which produced a deep impression and perturbation in the colonies. The land owners believed that they were going to be deprived of their slaves, which constituted their wealth. The mulattos and slaves thought that the time had come for their freedom and very soon they would be the equal of white people. The inhabitants of the northern province established assemblies which claimed the right to revise the laws which governed the land. Gov. Conde de Peynier decreed this dissolution, accusing his members of a plot of rebellion. This was abandoned and only 85 of them embarked for France (Aug. 8, 1790). In the meantime the French National Assembly issued a decree (May 15, 1791), by which it was declared that all Negroes and mulattoes, residents of the colony, had the same rights as French citizens. This declaration produced in San Domingo a profound indignation among white men. The three-color emblems were trampled under foot by soldiers and replaced by white plumes, the symbol of adhesion to the cause of law. In the meanwhile the Negroes and mulattoes were infuriated on knowing the resistance which that decree was meeting and on the night of the 22nd of August they killed without pity all the whites they could find in the environs of Cabo Frances. The rebellion was general. The resistance which the colonies wanted to offer was inefficient and the mulattoes and negroes performed the most frightful cruelties. Blood flowed in torrents; 2000 white of every age and sex were assassinated. More than 10,000 insurgents perished in the combat, or of hunger, and some few hundred were sacrificed on the gallows. The city of Port San Luis was captured and looted. Port Principal, where the rebels met a vigorous resistance, was burned October 22. It seemed that the two races had sworn the extermination of their rivals. NUMBER 5 1200 men marched defiantly against the capital which was occupied by the commissioners, but the struggle remained undecided. The commissioners then called to arms all Negroes and mulattoes and waged terror upon the whites. The colonists who succeeded in escaping embarked some for the U. S., others for England. The latter presented themselves to the English government, asking ships and troops in order to take possession of San Domingo in the name of Great Britain. These propositions awoke the covetousness of the English. A force of 700 men under command of Col. Whitlock (the same who 1807 led an expedition against Buenos Aires) accompanied by five warships, occupied the city and port of Jeremiah (Sept. 29, 1793) assisted by the colonists and rebels they took possession of the city and many other ports and a great extension of the coast. The commissioners of the republic returned to France, cowardly abandoning the island. The troops of the island recognized for their general, Toussaint L'Overture, a slave before in one of the colonies, but possessed with a rare intelligence and of extraordinary valor. He is the Spartan of the black race. Under his command the war between the men, of color and the colonists and allies of the English was lively and tenacious and lasted two years. The Negroes repulsed constantly the attack of the English with admirable valor. The French government then turned over the command of all troops to Toussaint L'Overture with the title of "General of the Republic," who had conquered by his valor. In this new position Toussaint L'Overture continued to display all his activity. In vain the English government was sending to the island new reinforcements of troops and changing its generals. At last the English general, Mailand, saw the necessity of forming a treaty with the Negro General, May 9, 1798, by which he surrendered all points then occupied by his troops and recognized San Domingo as a neutral and independent power. Since then Toussiant L'Overture acquired in the island an almost limitless power. He reprimanded with moderate energy the ambitious plans of some of his comrades and restored their properties to many of the old colonists, declaring, nevertheless, that slavery shall never be reestablished. The Negro chief displayed in the management of governmental affairs of San Domingo the same zeal and activity which he had displayed in the war. To be continued RACE WOMEN HUMILIATED Mrs. K. M. Lee, who is maid for Myrtle Steadman, complained to one of the Eagle reporters a few days ago in this fashion: "I have been all over the country with Miss Steadman and have always received the best treatment at her hands. A few days ago, however, in the western section of this city where I was with Miss Steadman, a colored brother appeared on the scene and offered to assist Miss Steadman in solving what is a problem in Los Angeles, that problem was to provide for my lunch. This colored brother, whose name is Campbell, told Miss Steadman that he would conduct me where I could be served. I started out in good faith with my guide, who lead me through dark allies and close places until we landed on a little corner of the back porch of the Green Room Cafe, and after some grease had been wiped from a dilapidated stool just over the swill pails, I was invited to partake of a sumptuous repast upon a dirty newspaper table cover. I am told that my colored brother gets a commission from the green room on such swill. Well, this was the worst I had ever experienced and I refused to be served. What the Churches are Doing Baptist churches throughout Southern California will observe Sunday, the 18th, as Old Folk's Home Rally Day, to raise the balance of the money due on the contract for the erection of the new building, now nearing completion. All churches and organizations will raise funds, and take subscriptions, for bedding, furniture, and other things, to be presented for the use of the home, at the dedicatory and opening exercises, which will be held in the chapel of the new building on the home grounds, at the corner of Linwood Road and Willow avenue, near Abila Station, Watts. Furniture Needed The home is in dire need of furniture and bedding for the eleven bedrooms, the parlor, office, and kitchen, and needs dishes, cooking utensils, carpets and curtains. Mrs. E. J. Brent, wife of the proprietor of Brent's Furniture Store, and the Allensworth Literary and Industrial Club, have arranged to furnish two of the eleven bed rooms. Donations of money should be sent payable to the order of Board of Directors of Old Fok's Home and sent in care of Afe McDowell, secretry, 256 Wilcox Bldge, Main 3935, Los Angeles. Furniture for the home should be of the style selected by the directors. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street and Central Avenue E. E. Lightner, Pastor The Ladies' Missionary Society of the church held a very enthusiastic meeting on last Thursday evening in the missionary room of the church, at which time plans were laid for the addition of the much needed seats in our church. All the services were interesting and well attended on last Sunday. Rev. W. W. Smith brought a practical message at the evening service on, "A Modern Prodigial Son." The services for Sunday, March 18, as follows: Sunday School, 10 a. m.; preaching, 11:15 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Christian Endeavor, 6:30 p. m. Topic, The Curse of Cowardice. John 18: 15-27. A cordial welcome to all. "The Wages of Sin" was the subject of Rev. Greggs, pastor of the Independent Church of Christ, last Sunday. He saying in part: Self denial is one of the first steps toward the kingdom. In fact, the kingdom is only won by self denial, by a true, honest religious life. Not a life that fits one to join in with any crowd, and enjoy their follies. That is the sign of a cheap religion, a cheap religion, like a cheap suit is not worth having. It soon wears out. How many of our young people and some of the old who have joined the church, who were loved and honored by all, and great things were looked forward to come from them, but alas, it was found that they had the cheap religion that wore out and now they have become slaves to some sinful habit of the world. It is true that the world may make a good looking man of most any one for a while, but a keeper may be dressed up to look good, but he is a keeper just the same. The cheap religion is highly varnished, but the true religion is plain. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor Sunday was quarterly meeting day and we had three services and a glorious outpouring of the Holy Spirit at all of them. Presiding Elder Seldon was at his best and the congregation was edified and uplifted by his two sermons. Rev. E. R. Johnson preached at the afternoon meeting and he preached one of his great sermons to the delight of all his hearers. The new organ is now in and will be in use the coming Sunday. The pastor will preach at both the morning and evening services. The work in the quarterly conference were good and showed the work to be in a good and healthy condition. All departments of the church are working as never before and we cordially invite the public to come and worship with us at any or all times. Presiding Elder W. M. Seldon of the Los Angeles District of El Centro was in the city over Sunday. His visit to the parishoners of the section has been an inspiration to the people and the Dr. left Wednesday for his field, greatly encouraged. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma Streets Rev. B. C. Robeson, S. T. B. Paston Zion church will conclude Sunday, March 18, the biggest and most successful revival under the leadership of Bishop L. W. Kyles and Rev. Fred D. Douglass ever held within the walls of this glorious edifice. Successful as to souls, successful as to the increase in the church, and successful as to attendance. A crowded house every night and as to monies raised it was most encouraging. It has been said that as an evangelistic team Bishop Kyles and Evangeline Douglass cannot be equalled in the M. M. B. Zion church. After once meeting and being them in action no longer allowing the attendance Rev. Douglass is a very unique personage. His singing and acrobatic feats stamp him as the most engaging speaker heard along the Coast in years. The Second Quarterly Conference will be held Friday evening, March 17, by Presiding Elder W. W. Matthews. The choir of the A. M. E. church sang for us very beautifully at the afternoon service. Bishop Kyles preached a wonderful sermon, subject, "The Glorious Gospel of the Son of God." Next Sunday morning at 11 a. m. Bishop L. W. Kyles will preach his farewell sermon. It is certain that a large host will be to hear him and tender him a farewell long to be remembered. At the afternoon service Evangelist Douglass will hold a mothers' meeting, the most unique ever held in any part of the country. Come and enjoy the blessings to be administered. The services will come to a close Sunday evening when Evangelist Douglass will deliver the last of the sermons that have made him famous. Come and see the last. Come and enjoy the feast. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian Sts. Last Sunday was a great day at Wesley M. E. church. At 11 a.m. the pastor, Rev. A. P. Shaw used 'as a theme, "The Secret of Immortality." I John 3:2 was the text. "It doth not yet appear what we shall be." Among other things he said: "Immortality is not so much a special gift from God as it is the natural sequence of a life lived in such a manner as to endure forever—it is the natural sequence of a life that looks forward to the future. Whenever a man, a race, or a nation thinks that its best days are behind it, that in itself indicates that the forces of death are in the mastery. Three things," he said, "keep men and races and civilizations alive. Looking forward out of difficulties, looking forward from the mountain top of success, and looking forward to the attainment of the lofty goal of the future seen by faith." Many of those present stated that never before had they seen a whole congregation so visibly moved by a sermon. Six persons united with the church and two came to the altar for prayer. At 7:30 p.m. Dr. Pettigrew delivered very eloquently and effectively his lecture-sermon on "The Hand of God and the Open Door to the Race." The services at the Pullman Mission were very effective under the leadership of Brother O. C. Stout. One person was converted. This Sunday the pastor will preach morning and evening. The morning subject will be, "The Church's Feast of Good Things." The evening subject will be, "The Lost Christ." These are both great messages. Pray that God may make them very effective in saving the unsaved. Come and bring the unconverted with you. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Towne Avenue Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor Services Sunday were up as usual to the very high standard that is always enjoyed at this metropolitan church. A beautiful congregation assembled at 11 o'clock, and while the rain came on at night just as this service began, still there were those who disregarded weather conditions and made their way to the house of the Lord. The pastor delivered both sermons. Many new, loyal donors subscribed to the Easter rally. Many distinguished visitors from all parts of the country were present and a thoroughly edifying worship was experienced by every one in attendance. You are always welcome to the First African Methodist Episcopal church. Extraordinary services will be held Sunday, both morning and evening. The full choir will greet distinguished visitors at each of these services. A great expected treat at 11 o'clock. Come early for a good pew. At 6 o'clock the Allen Christian Endeavor Society will hold forth. At 7:45 p. m. dr. W. W. Smith of Ohio will give an illustrated talk on "The Modern Prodigal of Chicago," with 2 Slife size free hand pulpit paintings and sacred songs. The Sunday School and Endeavorers are urged with all others to attend this special evening service. Everybody invited. Be punctual. "Baptismal Day" with baptising at the altar at the 11, o'clock service will be observed the fourth Sunday in March, viz., March 25. The pastor's subject will be "Baptism." Many babies and many converts both old and young will be baptised at the altar at the morning service. Baptising by immersion will be conducted at 3 o'clock by the pastor in our pool at Second A. M. E. church at Furlong Tract. The choir will re-adorn its robes on this day and appear henceforth in their surplices and robes. You are welcome to each and all of our services. The services Sunday were up to the usual standard. Rev. T. Wilson, D.D., and wife, of Spokane, Wash., worshipped with us in the morning at 3 p.m. The pastor delivered the message to an appreciative congregation at the C. M. E. church "beautiful." Monday at 3 p.m. a splendid crowd greeted Bishop F. W. Kyles and Evangelist Fred D. Douglass, who with Dr. Ben Robeson and Rev. Matthews, P. E. of the A. M. E. Zion church, visited Furlong Tract as guests of Rev. E. R. Johnson. Bishop Kyles, assisted by Dr. Douglass, conducted an edifying service which resulted in four conversions. The third quarterly meeting will be held next Sunday at 3 p.m., the Methodist Alliance having charge of the service. Dr. J.W.

A grand musical concert will be given at the Social hall on the 22nd, for the benefit of the B. Y. P. U., an "Orange Social" will be given and will afford an interesting entertainment to all who attend. METHODISTS REJOICE IN SUCCESSFUL RALLY Sunday, long anticipated by the loyal members of the First A. M. E. church, has been set down as a day of joy in the annals of the church, not that the rally brought more money than other rallies, but because of the triumph of self sacrifice for the good of the church that was manifest in the day's offerings. The pastor expressed himself as greatly pleased with the work of the loyal members of the church. The final service of the rally day were held at night at which time the six clubs through their chairmen reported the total sum of seven hundred and ten dollars. This amount is to be augmented by payment of $50.00 by a gentleman who pledged it on condition that one of the clubs should raise one hundred and fifty dollars. The Ladies' Aid reported the sum of $102.40 raised just from the sales during the fair. Their report was presented with a poem by Mrs. E. Bryant and was a source of much pleasure to the congregation. A complete report of the rally will be made through these columns next week, showing the success of each club. The choir on last Sunday morning sang at the Sunday School service at the Lincoln Avenue Methodist church. The occasion was Perfect Attendance Day and brought over four hundred pupils out. The Glee Club is to sing at the Washington Street Methodist church next Sunday night. These young men are also preparing for an appearance in Los Angeles on April 3rd. Both Sunday School and choir are busy preparing Easter music for the second Sunday in April. The Stewards of the church and the class leaders are cooperating in a rally on the first Sunday in next month and expect to announce an interesting afternoon service for that date. Sunday the pastor hopes to conduct both services. The Young People's meeting will be led by Miss Ruby Prince and will enjoy a short program. The success of last Sunday's rally has enabled the trustees to reduce the building debt to $2100, clear up certain current indebtedness and pay insurance on the buildings for next three years. Thus leaving the church in mid-2014 indebted, it will add a position to devote its energies to its spiritual and social interests. SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES It is a great pleasure to pastor a church in which 90 per cent of the membership are interested in the work of the kingdom. The pastor is able to keep tab on each member, Scott Chapel affords this pleasure to her pastor and this serves to inspire him to greater effort. A wonderful spirit in on in this church. Every service and each department of the work have caught a new vision. Last Sunday was a day of rare and gracious blessings. Nearly every seat was occupied at the morning service to hear Pastor Kinchen on the "Reality of Conversion." Among the San Francisco Ads.

WELCOME GOVERNOR STEPHENS! Southern California is proud that at last it has Executive a favorite son. Not since the days of Gove has the Southern section of the State had a Governor standing its great wealth and its great population. California has been generous in giving its votes to the irrespectvie of sectional consideration who in its of the best man. On to conspicuous occasions, 1914 has Los Angeles County abashed the individuals who sent their candidates for Governor and United State Southern California is proud that at last it has for Chief Executive a favorite son. Not since the days of Governor Gage has the Southern section of the State had a Governor, notwithstanding its great wealth and its great population. Southern California has been generous in giving its votes to the candidate irrespective of sectional consideration who in its opinion was the best man. On to conspicuous occasions, 1914 and 1916, has Los Angeles County abashed the individuals who have presented their candidates for Governor and United States Senator solely on the grounds their candidate was from the Southern section of the State, and the South should have the position. If anything the Southern Californian is patriotic, and just, and in the past it has been neither compelling nor overbearing. And now that it has had its long delayed hopes realized by having one of its truly representative citizens at the helm of State, it will no wise change nor disappoint all fair-minded citizens. We of Southern California who for years have been the close neighbors of William D. Stephens feel that California's great Governor could not have had a better successor, one whom he himself selected and one in whom he and all patriotic citizens of California can trust to further every plan of government that means good for all the people of this great domain, the Commonwealth of California. God-speed to Governor Stephens, who we believe will come up to all of the requirements of his exalted position and because of this, two years hence will be Governor-elect, the undeniable choice of California, North, South, East and West. "THE NEW SENATOR FROM THE GOLDEN GATE" Our esteemed contemporary and namesake, the Washington, D. C., Eagle, under the above caption has the following anent California's new U. S. Senator's advent in the Capitol City; "The convening of Congress in extraordinary session, which at this writing seems imperative, will bring as a new member of the upper house the distinguished son of California, Hiram Johnson. His entrance into the national life of the nation as a member of the U. S. Senate heightens the hopes of colored men, as well as of all men who hope for those wise enactments of legislation in the approaching national and international crisis that will have regard for the homes and business of all classes of American men and their homes." "Colored men of California who stand for the highest ideals for the race inform us that the personal as well as the public attitude of their Senator exemplifies that kind of progressiveness which holds that the greatest asset of the nation is in her robust citizenry whether under black or white skins. We have always felt that way about the great governor of the Golden State and the additional assurance that comes to us from stalwart, manly colored men who helped by their votes to send him to us, makes us feel to welcome him with a confidence that our race as well as our nation will have another fearless advocate for every right with all his might, for every American who lives up to his every duty to his country." It is needless to state Editor J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Wahsington Eagle, has our hearty indorsement of every line so eloquently expressed.

"If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." Verse 36. The incentive to enter the school of Christ is the Heavenly Father's invitation issued to believers who approach His throne of grace by the new and living way—Christ. To such He etends a high calling, inviting them to become sons of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with Him, that we also may be glorified together with Him. Rom. 8:7. This school of Christ may be considered a school of self-denial, of self-sacrifice, prompted by love and maintained by devotion. The Teacher of this spiritual school appointed by the Father to instruct those who shall ultimately be accepted as His brethren, was Himself educated in this school, under the Father's inspection and direction. Of Him it is written: "He learned obedience by the things which He suffered, and being made perfect (acceptable to the high station to which He was called—the Divine nature), He became the author of eternal salcation unto all them that obey them."—Heb. 5:8, 9. We have the plain declaration that we are called according to a predestination on God's part that we might become copies of His Son, and thus be "meet for the inheritance of the saints in light," as joint-heirs in the Kingdom—Rom. 8:29; Col. 1:12. From this we see that in joining the Lord, through faith and consecration, we are not proclaiming ourselves graduates and heirs, but students, disciples, who desire to be prepared to inherit "the things which God hath in reservation for them that love Him." Moreover, we are to remember that it is not our flesh that has entered the school of Christ and which is under His instruction and preparation for the Kingdom. (1 Cor. 15:50.) Our acceptance of the Divine call to spirit nature meant the sacrifice of the earthly nature in every sense of the word; it meant our begetting as new creatures—"sons of God." (John 1: 12.) It is the new creature, the new mind, the new will, that is in the school of Christ and that is to be perfected—to be brought into full accord with the Divine will, to be a copy or likeness of our Redeemer. In proportion as the new mind develops in likeness to the mind of Christ it will increase the effort to keep the body under, to keep the will of the flesh dead. This course is Scripturally termed "walking in the light," and not stumbling about in the darkness. This course is the understanding of the Divine purpose-and acting upon the Divine arrangement, in harmony with the will of God. It is viewing of matters as God views them, and as He presents them in His word of grace. Continuing under the Master's direction, under the direction of His word of truth faithfully and preservingly, that the grand object of this school shall be attained. Nevertheless, at each step of the journey it may be our privilege to see that we are making progress, that we are coming to know more and more of the truth, and that it is more and more making us free. But we are not to expect an instantaneous knowledge nor an instantaneous freedom. Knowledge and 4ts Results The general effect of the light of truth is to break the shackels of superstition and to make people independent. But the effect is of questionable profit to those who are not disciples in the school of Christ. To others the light of knowledge and freedom are apt to bring nearly as much bane as blessing; for often they lead to arrogance, dissatisfaction and general unhappiness. Heeding the great Teacher's word, and in all things continuing to be His disciples we are set free not only from superstition and ignorance, but also from the service of sin. Our Lord pointed out that those who commit sin are the servants of sin, and are not free. St. John declares, "He that committeth sin is of the devil," and, "If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." I John 3:8, 1:8. How shall we reconcile these statements and how understand the Scripture which declares, "Being made free from sin" ye become the servants of righteousness." Rom. 6:18. We answer the Scriptures ascribe no sin to the new mind and no perfection in righteousness to our fallen flesh. The new creature whose flesh is reckoned dead, is begotten of God and is represented by the new mind. This new creature cannot sin, for in its very essence as the seed, or germ implanted by the truth, "the spirit of truth," it is opposed to sin. This new creature is so in accord with righteousness, so fully imbued with the spirit of the Lord of spirit of holiness, that it delights in holiness, not n sin, and this must be the case so long as this begotten condition continues. I John 3:9, 5:18. Two Houses of Sons of God (1) The sons of the Gospel age, begotten of the Father to joint-heir- ship with Jesus Christ, our Lord, as His brethren (1 John 3.2, Heb. 3.6). This house of sons, begotten to the spirit nature, will soon be complete and will never have an addition to its members. These obtain the Divine nature. (2) Another house of sons will shortly be started, for the declaration is that our Lord Jesus shall become a Father, life-giver, to the world—to whosoever will accept of this gift of God under the terms of the New Covenant during the Millenium. These will be the sons of the after resurrection, while the church are to be sons of the first resurrection, the first-born ones referring to these sons of Christ who will be born to full sonship at the close of the Millenial age, the apostle declares that they shall be delivered "from the bondage of corruption (death) into the glorious liberty of the sons of God"—freedom from sin, death, sighing, crying, pain, etc. These the common privileges of all the sons of God they will inherit through the great sin-offering. This class will receive perfect human nature.

Give all candidates careful consideration before you cast your vote. The people are wild for (Wilde) a certain mayoralty candidate. The Eagle wishes all candidates much luck and may the best win. A. V. Mayhofer is making a whirlwind finish and may land at the City Hall. We have made a clean cut campaign for candidate. Now watch us fly. Mrs. Emily Naylor will be on the ticket. She is progressive and deserves it. Hans Marquardt will receive strong support from all classes as candidates for Board of Education. P. J. Benbough, the handsome candidate for re-election to the Council, is making a winning fight with his "Perpetual Pep." L. J. Wilde will be nominated by a large majority Tuesday. The Eagle has been strong for Mr. Wilde since his announcement. So let all get together and give him the largest majority ever given a Mayor candidate. By Geo. A. Ramsey Tuesday and we will know who. Mrs. Marian Pounds, candidate for member of board of education appeals to the political editor to the extent that he has pledged his support for her, and believes she will at all times give us justice when in her power to do so. MRS. POUNDS IN SCHOOL BOARD RACE Member of Board of Health Announces Candidacy this Morning for Education Board. Mrs. Marian Pounds, wife of Dr. T. C. Pounds, of this city, is a candidate for election to the Board of Education. Mrs. Pounds has been endorsed by a committee of 100 women who have organized for the purpose of putting three women on the school board. Mrs. Pounds has been very active in the civic life of the city. She was president of the women's civic center, was a member of the executive board of the social service society of the state of California, and has served for the last two years on the Board of Health. Among the many measures Mrs. Pounds has worked for are: The daily analysis of water, the cleaning up of the watershed, the filtering and care of the reservoir water, the protection of hawsers for the prevention of rats passing from vessels to the shore, the abatement of the nuisance created by the Olive street sewer, the draining of the slough of the Hardy's slaughter house, and the extension of the sewer to the bay, improved sanitary conditions in the public schools, such as the daily collection of garbage and the provision of paper towels for the teachers and pupils, improved housing and plumbing conditions in three of the schools, four comfort stations at La Jolla, improved sanitary conditions at the isolation hospital such as providing a laundry at the hospital so that the infected clothing can be taken care of at the hospital, the establishment of a free municipal milk station and provision for a municipal nurse to visit the tubercular poor of the city. Mrs. Pounds is now working hard with the women of Ocean Beach to procure a proper sewer system for that suburb. The lion did not escape in San Diego from Al. G. Barnes circus last Thursday night, but those hand, boys did escape with that teasing music, and made their way to the Kastle Hall and joined Prop. Bob Evans in entertaining the large crowds of people. We all agree that we never heard such teasing music in Kastle Hall before. Everybody reported having an enjoyable time. The Exposition Jabilee Singers, composed of Mr. E. O. Harris, C. C. Rosemand, L. H. Browning, John C. Payne, sang at the Pantages the past week. The Tia Juana races have been extended indefinitely. The Sunday feature is something never before heard of on the Coast, a race known as the Dark Town handicap, which will be composed solely of Colored horse owners and jockeys. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. T. Thompson, 720 3rd, street, who had part of their home destroyed by fire last week have had their home repaired and fire will smiles again. Mrs. Eva Smith assisted them in re-decorating. Mr. B. Kemp of Los Angeles spent several days in the city. While here he was a guest of the Thompsons of Coronado. Mr. and Mrs. John Cloude entertained Mr. and Mrs. Al Ramsey, Mr. and Mrs. Melban White, Mr. and Mrs. Murry last week at a dinner party. Mr. and Mrs. Loan Landers and Mr. and Mrs. James Lyons spent their honeymoon in San Diego. Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth was summoned to San Diego Thursday. Thursday night he addressed a large and important gathering of Colored On last Monday, at a very enthusiastic meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Union, the the "Fighting Parson" Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, the famous revivalist and soul winner, announced that he would soon leave the state on a trans-continental evangelistic tour, there were genuine expressions of regret among the ministers of the Union, a strong resolution of commendation was unanimously voted Dr. McPherson, commending him to the world as an evangelist of high repute, as a further mark of esteem President W. H. Rozier requested Dr. McPherson preach farewell sermon to his old co-laborers here in California, no next Monday. The suggestion met the approval of the Union, as the Union meets in the auditorium of the Second Baptist church, Maple avenue, near East Eighth street, of which the genial Dr. H. D. Prowd is pastor. It is predicted that a large audience not only of the Baptist clergy, but of the ministers of Los Angeles, also the ladies, will be out in full to hear the parting message of the eloquent Fighting Parson, the sermon will be preached at the noon hour, after which a photo will be taken of the memorable farewell gathering. On Tuesday evening the people of Monrovia and Duarte will honor Dr. McPherson with a reception at Shiloh A. M. E. Zion church, Monrovia, and he will give his famous humorous lecture on "The Sunny Side of Easy Street." Wednesday and Thursday evening will be spent at Riverside and San Bernardino, and thence to Phoenix, Arizona, where he is billed to preach Sunday and give his famous lecture on the "Charge of the Black Troops at San Juan Hill." Dr. McPherson plans to be absent about three months and will visit the scenes of his childhood, and will hold a revival in the Old Church in which he was converted thirty years ago. Meetings are being arranged in many sections of the country for the Fighting Parson, and he will make good is the opinion of all. Pasadena will tender the "Fighting Parson" a big testimonial Sunday at the Gospel Tabernacle, in appreciation of his great work here in the Crown City, on the eve of Departure on his transcontinental evangelistic tour throughout the country. Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, Pasadena's great old time revivalist, has yielded to the demands from many sections of the country that he would come and lead a big revival meeting, has at last bowed to the mandates of the people and on tomorrow, Sunday afternoon and evening, will preach his final sermon before leaving on his trans-continental tour. At 2:30 o'clock a great testimonial meeting in which the citizens in general will give expression of Dr. McPherson's work in Pasadena, Madame E. Monroe Beavers will sing; also Comrade E. L. Gaines, representing the Spanish War Veterans, will give an address and sing a baritone solo, "The Holy City," Ministers from the different churches with their choir will be asked to join in the testimonial. Dr. McPherson will conclude with a timely address. At 7:30 p.m. Dr. McPherson will preach his farewell sermon on the subject, "The Angel Leading Righteous Lot Out of the Burning City." It is predicted that a large crowd will pack the Tabernacle to hear the closing words of the gifted "Fighting Parson," the man that stirred Pasadena. During his absence Evangelist W. E.

I will not be unfair in any act to favor the workingman; but shall see that his interest is not abused because he has not the time, the money or the knowledge to care for it himself. As a lifetime observer of the civic management of this municipality I have noted necessity of more efficient management and application of practical economics. I therefore, welcome the support of all who are in favor of efficient management and practical economy. SAINTS' HOME CHURCH 20thSt and Hooper Avenue Eddie R. Driver, D. D.

We were surprised at the full attendance for Pastor Driver had advised as many as could to go and be with Dr. Gregge, but it seemed that the Lord sent as many strangers and visitors as there were saints missed. Pastor Driver delivered two wonderful sermons Sunday, his morning sermon being from Ia. 12:3; afternoon be prescheduled from the subject, "God Winked at Ignorance," which was helpful and uplifting. Next Sunday will be a high day at the Saints House Church. All the babies of the congregation will be brought out, anointed and prayed for that God might bless and cause them to be reared in His fear. The devotion will be ordained also. All are invited to come and join in the feast. Be sure to hear the pastor's sermon to mothers before blessing the babies. The babies will be blessed at the altar. | E.R.

Now the “I. C.” has put on its best trains —steel coaches—one whole car, separate toilets for men and wo- men; part of car is used as a smoker for those who care to. The car is kept clean and the butcher boy has found a flace in a-car other than that used by col- ored patrons. This change was made under the direction of Mr. T. J. Foley, general traffic manager of the I. GRR. t This movement for’ better ac- commodation to colored patrdns ‘of railroads was begun under the leadership of the laté Dr. Booker T Washington as President of the Negro BusinesssLeague. The efforts of Dr. Washington devel- oped irito a movemient by color- ed people of the ,southland known as “Railroad Day.” On a certain day in each'year-the peo- ple met and protested because of the unfair treatment of the rail- roads of the South who demand- ed equal pay for unequal accom- modations. It is likely other roads will follow suit, because of keen competition, or else the loss of patronage. “THE CALIFORNIA BOOSTER” On the Southern Pacific over the Shore Line Limited en route from Los Angeles to San Fran- cisco, the other day, there were as usual a great many tourists from the East and also from Can ada. Among them were a party of California’ lady boosters who took; great pride in comparing Los Angeles as a summer or win- ter resort with other resorts of the same kind. One lady told of the great natural advantages Los Angeles had over other Southern cities with its very exhilarating atmosphere which is so essential- ly conducive-to good health and which is one of the greatest fea- tures that is attracting tourists to Los Angeles from all parts of the world. She said that there was none of those natural_causes, so dreaded in. most warm climates such as malaria, sun stroke, thunder- storms, hydrophobia, etc. An- other said California is renowned throughout the nation for its magnificent highways, _ pictur- esque scenery and delightful cli- mate. Every man, woman and child in the east desires some day to either visit or reside here. Another lady declared she had lived in California for thirty years and cannot recall a single instance of the death of a native ison or daughter and that if elder- ly people came here it would in- sure a new lease of life-for them. "While another lady called their attention to the fact that it mat- tered not how hot the day|might be, by going over on the. shady side you would be codled off at once and that you can use the same bed clothing every night in the year with comfort, and there is bathing at the beach at Venice every day in the year. ‘There was an oll gentleman who ‘sat irear by atid was-a very attentive listener. He spoke up in a drawling tone of voice, say- ing: . “Wal, I don’t know about all. that, but I do know that Califor- ny has,more rivers and less wa- ter, mage cows and less butter, more flowers with less fragrance, more fruit with less’ flavor, and that you can look farther and see less tha in any other State in the Union." ‘Thos® that ‘heard him,’ includ- ing the boosters, heartily cheered him=—By, J.

SPINGARN’S SEPARATE MILITARY SCHOOL Editor of the ‘Amsterdam News: Allow me space in your widely read juornal to voice my: protest against the movement headed by Prof. Joel E. Spingarn to estab- lish a’separate Military Training Camp for colored men: I am ut- terly opposed to such a step, and I want to urge men of my race with any’ backbone and: manhood to ignore any request that seeks to belittle them, or to. make them subject to any special legislation. If the United States is anxious to have us fight, (and we have never ‘Been cowards), then let them give us the same training given to ‘white men at West Point, An- napolis, and other training. sta- tions, where necessary prepara- tion is given to prepare soldiers for service. The - idea of a Jim ‘Crow Military proposition cannot but help be revolting to men of my race with red blood in their veins, and if allowed to go by un- ‘challenged would brand us as set ‘of weaklings, not worthy of the best contact with other: people Thege same colored people who would go to this Jim Crow camp, would fight by the side of their white brothers in the event of war, and since this is the case, what is the wisdom in separating them in the . matter of military training. I cannot understand the motive that prompted Prof. Spin- garn to accept this proposition, and if it is to be taken as express- ing the sentiment of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that organiza- tion is fast losing the high and uncompromising ground it has al- ways taken. No, by no means, do we want a Jim Crow Train- ing School such as this proposi- tion calls for. VALENTINE THOMAS. 265 Sixth Ave., New York City, ‘March 2, 1917. “PUNISHED” FOR KILLING ANEGRO . The Morning Tribune detects a change in the attitude of south- ern courts and juries toward lynchers and other murderers. They are becoming critical of the practice of homicide. They are even disposed to look disapprov- ingly-on white men who seek rec- reation through the killing of ne- groes. Indeed, the revolution in sentiment is so sweeping in char- acter that presently a closed sea- son on negroes may be establish- ed covering the entire year. As to every rule, there are ex- ceptions; so, of course, the new order will not be enforced with cruel ‘ severity. For instance, if the killer can show that he was feeling cross, or that time was hanging heavy on his hands, or that he was testing a new gun, or was moved by other heasonable motive, justice will be tempered with mercy. Generally speaking, however, it is felt that negroes ought not to be killed—not while cotton is selling at 20 cents a pound and labor is scarce. In proof of the change that has occurred, we offer the case of a West Virginia business man, who, being on trial for man- slaughter, admitted that he had killed the Negro he was charged with killing. |Under the circum- stances, of the case, of course, the jury had no option save to find the defendant guilty as charged. The dispatches state, however: ‘It included a recommendation for extreme mercy. The presiding judge fortunate- y was not a hard-hearted man. lis merciful nature responded to the jury’s appeal. He held with Portia: The quality of mercy is not strain’d. It droppeth as the. gentle rain from heaven Upon the- place beneath. It is twice blest ; ‘It blesseth him that gives and “him that takes. 7 [Nevertheless there was the law to be executed and justice to be fulfilled. The newly’ developed social consciousness that after all the Negro is a human being, pos- sessed of certain inalienable rights, among them life and liber- ty, was to be taken into account. It, was manifest that the ee ing murderer must be punishéd in ough fashion as would give effect to|the recommendation-for mercy and at the same time impose some restraint upon the practice of negro killing. Accordingly the West Virginia judge sentenced the murderer to serve half an hour in jail, Ast At will be seen, therefore, that a w day. has dawned for the ne- in the south.
