Negroes Pledge U. S. Support in Case of War ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 Ne U. S. Suppor W WITH THE LAW MAKERS AT THE STATE CAPITAL The present week thus far has been void of anything out of the ordinary in the chambers of the Assembly and Senate, the daily legislation grind with the many roll calls went on at a lively clip. However, the Rominger Bill, which if passed is due to come up in the Senate late in the week. There is an intense anxiety as to the fate of this measure, the wise ones here on the ground assert that it is sure to pass in the Senate. So far we have heard no one with the temerity to predict the outcome of this measure in the Assembly, but there is a well defined and growing opinion that the measure will pass. Tuesday was a gala day, the Legislature declared a half holiday and went out to the ball park to witness the baseball game between the Seals of San Francisco and the Chicago Cubs of the National League. The Seals were trimmed by a score of 5 to 2. The day had been designated as Governor Stephens Day and the Governor received an ovation by the 3000 fans who journeyed to the park. He pitched the first ball and put it right over the plate, while Congressman Curry landed on it for a base hit. Employment Bill Fails The bill to put out of business the pay for job employment agencies failed of passage by a vote of 19 for to 44 against. This bill proyoked much discussion but the employment agencies won out with votes to spare and for a while longer at least you must pay for your jobs if you get one through the medium of the employment agency, except that you go to the free employment bureau. The bill aimed to put all the employment business under the control of the state free employment bureau. By a report of the joint committee appointed for that purpose the legislature will in all probability adjourn sine die on the 27th day of April. Assemblyman Watson took a leading part in the fight against the free emplyment measure and helped save the day by its defeat. Attorney Oscar Hudson of San Francisco was an interested spectator at the Assembly on last Wednesday. Mr. Hudson stands high in his profession and was at the capital on a hurried business trip. Assemblyman A. Bartlett of Los Angeles was the victim of a motor vehicle accident this week and as a result, his optical vision is decorated with much color but no doubt he feels lucky that it was not more serious. Assemblyman Frank Mouser has several measures up for third reading this week which will without doubt be passed. SACRAMENTO NEWS Mr. C. M. Richie, son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. J.

A PATRIOTIC APPEAL TO OUR COLORED FELLOW CITIZENS March 22, 1917: Chrisman Apartments, 1328 E. 21st St. Los Angeles, Calif. To all Patriotic Colored Americans of the Republic of the United States of North America, and especially to my Colored fellow citizens of the States of Virginia, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana and California. Virginia, because it is my beloved native State—the place of my birth. Iowa, because it is the state of my adoption and the place of my permanent home, Minnesota and Montana, because I formerly served as a soldier and lived as a citizen in both of these great commonwealths. California, because it is and has for the past three months been my temporary residence, and here in Los Angeles I have been received with helpful kindness and good will by legions of new friends. And to all the brave, patriotic Colored women and men of the country: I beg you to send me by Postal Card at once, the names of fifteen hundred women for the "Red Cross" and the Navy and the names of fifteen hundred men for the Army from which a volunteer regiment of Infantry may be formed. I shall be too busy to answer letters or cards at this time and will not be able to publish names sent to me. Sign your name on the card in your own handwriting and send the card to me at the Christman Apartments, No. 1328 E. 21st St., Los Angeles, California, until March 29th, 1917. After that time, write to me at my permanent address, Lock Box 535, Buxton, Iowa. I want men from 18 to 45 years of age and women from 16 to 35 years of age and all must be single. Captain F. H. Crumbly, No. 785 San Pedro St., Los Angeles, California, who was an officer of command during the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrection, my comrade and friend, will give all the explanations and assistance he can to patriotic inquiries made of him in good faith by persons who are eligible and desire to serve. Both he and I have tendered our services to the United States War Department and as we have seen service in the Army we, or either of us, may be called at any moment to take actual steps to organize our people into a military reserve to guard and care for the interest of our country at home, should the regular army and the organized militia be needed to defend the country against a foreign foe. No mortal can ever contribute greater or better service than those who serve and sacrifice for the honor of our country and the glory of our God. While we are known to be on the very brink of war, let us hope and pray that "Peace with honor" may still be maintained. But the most fervent religious patriotism is the need and demand of the hour. This is not the time for adverse expressions and arguments of non-Patriotic sentiments and none such will be considered. No true American, white or black, will suffer himself or herself to lend encouragement in any way or manner to any proposition that San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 24, 1917 is against his own Nation. Every Negro of this land is an American first, last and always and it is his duty to defend his flag. Colored citizens have never been traitors. The splendid illustrious record of the "Black Phalanx" from Crispus Attucks and Bunker Hill to Carrizal must be maintained. I urge you to held God and our country by sending in your names at once. GEORGE H. WOODSON, Patriot, Lawyer and former member of Company "I," 25th United States Infantry, permanent address Lock Box 535, Buxton, Iowa. I hereby concur in the above. F. H. CRUMBLY. COLOR LINE BOBS UP IN HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN The Color line has again bobbed up at the Wendell Phillips High school in Chicago. This time it is in the military training department. However, before we go any further we will state that a Defender reported called on Mr. Spencer R. Smith (white), principal of the school, and was informed that he would not nor has ever sanctioned such a move. Sergt. George Kaiser (white), from the regular army, who was sent there, to form a company, suggested to the principal forming a separate company for members of the Race. Principal Smith at once told him that the "Colored boys" were in the orchestra and in the band, played on the school teams, and that if the officer wanted to separate them he would have to take it to the board of education. Boys Won't Wear Buttons Surprisingly on Tuesday morning the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Herald came out with a story conspicuously displayed, saying that the boys of the Race there had requested separate companies formed. The Defender was on the job. We could not see how it was possible in this part of the country that our boys were asking Jim Crowism and we did not believe it. We located Edward Bostic, 3717 State street, and Elmer Davis, 3447 Dearborn street, two students who had called a meeting before school after seeing the infamous article in the daily papers. The entire school was against the segregation movement. The members of the Race signed papers to fight it. Young Mr. Bostic waited on Principal Smith and was told the principal's side of the story. All the members of the Race removed their buttons which were insignia of the high school volunteers. Usually there are some slackers in every movement of this kind. Walter Hughes and Carl Saunders refused to remove theirs. Among those who stuck with the Race are Maurice Heywood, Thomas Watts, Jack Talbert, Nap Smith, Adolph Sims Jr, LeRoy Sorenson, Edward Proctor, Leon Peyton and Horace Kelly. There are others whose names could not be learned. There are two Japanese in the companies, plenty of Jews and Irish. Sergt. Kaiser at first intended to hold an examination for officers, but when he saw that some of our boys would take the examination he appointed temporary officers, naming all whites and Jews. The action of this man has aroused the Race in this neighborhood and it only brings out the demand of the Chicago Defender that our Race needs a man on the school board. We are glad that Mr. Smith would take no hand in the matter.—From the Chicago Defender. MISS LILLIE CRANE LAID TO REST Miss Crane, whose body reach- ed the city from Atlanta, Ga. Thursday, a week ago, was buried from the Second Baptist church last Saturday at one o'clock. The funeral service was solemn and beautiful. Si xyoung men served as pall bearers, while six young girls in white served as honorary pall bearers. Dr. H. D. Prowd spoke comforting words from the text, "She is not dead, but sleepeth," and several beautiful solos were sung. Smith & Williams were in charge. SOUTHERN PROPAGANDA INVADES HYDE PARK Whites Try to Keep Church Members From Building The Hyde Park Herald (white) an organ of the defeated Alderman Merriam and the once defeated candidate for mayor of Chicago, is up in arms because Hyde Park A. M. E. church is making an effort to build a new church in the Hyde Park district, 5626 Lake Park avenue. There are at least 2,500 reputable members of the Race employed in the district without adequate facilities for their moral, social and religious improvement. The Rev. Wr. Griffin, pastor of the church, is making a strenuous effort to create a higher moral atmosphere and give life and vigor in the community where they are to live, rear and educate their children. The church people purchased a piece of property at 5262 Kenwood avenue. Men and women of both Races subscribed toward the fund and outlook is very bright for a neat church to be erected. Now comes the Hyde Park Herald with its un-Christian, heartless endeavor to raise the Color question and trying to keep a people from serving God in a community where they have bought and paid for property upon which to build their church. The Herald says that the white people are satisfied with members of the Race doing their work, but Great Scotts, don't have a church to be instructed how to live clean moral lives; you can be our chauffeurs, but don't have a Sunday school to train your children. The wives of chaufeurs may do the work, but no day nursery can be maintained in the Hyde Park district. The Herald and Merriam, known to all Chicago as the "Jim-Crow" Alderman, may scare some with headlines in their new weekly journal, but the members of Hyde Park A. M. E. church are determined to have a church. Every member of the Race in that section works and are substantial citizens and will not stand to be kept out of a part of the city where they contribute to its success. Why should we be kept out any more than a Catholic, Lutheran or Christian Science church? The Herald has struck a "snag" by fostering such devilish idea among the fair-minded people.—From the Chicago Defender. THE EAGLE CAFE AT 816 CENTRAL For more than two years the Eagle Cafe at 816 Central Ave., held forth as the leading Central Avenue cafe. All over Los Angeles it was whispered, "If you want a good home cooked meal, go to the Eagle Cafe." For the past few months, however, the Eagle has passed through a hand changing period. It seems that this revolution had to be, for at last the pendulum has fallen on Mesdames B. Brooks and F. Henkles and these two splendid women have not only changed the appearance of the Eagle, but likewise the bill of fare, and now you may secure the best home cookeI meal, the biggest variety, the most polite treatment and the greatest quantity for less money at the Eagle than at any other cafe in the city.

To celebrate the event, Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, and all other denominations, are coming from all parts of Southern California, to attend the dedicatory and opening services to be held at the home, on this coming will be required to pay, in advance an admittance fee of $100, which be used towards the support of home, as besides such fees, the will be supported exclusively by nations, and by funds raised by Baptist churches. Twenty Years' Effort The successof this home is the suit of twenty years of hard work Continued on page 6 ```markdown ``` BUSINESS MEN rt to Sidney P. Dones Sunday, March 25: The home is loca ted on Linwood Road, at the cor ner of Willow avenue, four blocks east of Abila Station, Watts, which is reached by Pacific Electric cars running to Long Beach, Newport and San Pedro. Dedicatory Services The dedicatory services will commence promptly at 1:30 p.m. and the pastors of most of the t churches have arranged to dismiss their congregations early enough to allow prompt arrival on the grounds; and some of the smaller churches will not hold any morning services at all, but will devote their entire day to worship at the home. The program has been arranged, and includes representatives of other denominations, besides Baptists, to carry out the non-sectarian principle of the home, as the home will receive inmates without regard to religious affiliations. Four Acres The home grounds consist of four acres of fertile soil, which produces abundant crops each year. Water is so plentiful, that it flows, without pumping, from an artesian well. New Building The new building is a beautifully arranged two-story frame structure, with eleven bed rooms, kitchen, dining room, living room, chapel, reception room, four bath rooms, four large spacious sun porches, basement, screen porch. Every room is equipped with modern gas and electric connections, and outlets for heat from a hot-air furnace, which is to be installed in the basement. A special feature in each room, is an electric push button by the pressing of which, the matron can be instantly signalled to any room to the aid of the inmates. All modern conveniences are installed for the comfort of the inmates. The land and buildings are valued at twelve thousand dollars. The cost of the building, $5000, was so great, that the Association has to apply to the public for assistance in furnishing the home, and as results, several liberal donations of furniture have been made; among these are the donations made by Mrs. E. J. Brent, the Allensworth Art and Industrial Club, the Christian Aid Club of Watts and several other organizations, each of which furnished a separate bed room. More furniture is needed for other bedrooms, for the kitchen, reception room, chapel, and matron's office. Bedding, lace curtains, cooking utensils dishes, provisions, and many other household supplies are very much needed, and the Association has invited all persons and organization to donate these things, at price. Many organizations and individuals have arranged to take their donations of money, etc., to the home on Sunday, at the dedication. Inmates Applications for admittance of prospective inmates are receiveable now, and application blanks may be obtained on request, from Afue McDowell, secretary of the board of directors, 256 Wilcok Blidge, Main 3935, Los Angeles, or from any of the officers of the Association. All inmates the Will Open Sunday will be required to pay, in advance, an admittance fee of $100, which will be used towards the support of the home, as besides such fees, the home will be supported exclusively by donations, and by funds raised by the Baptist churches.

E. CHURCH 1354 Channing St. Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor The work. at this church is rogressing very pleasingly; at the close of last Sunday's services three accessions were recorded, two of them converts. The audience on last Sunday morning was somewhat unusual showing a marked increase in attendance. We called to see Sister Wm. Galloway this week and found her much improved; so much so that she anticipates coming to church on next Sunday morning, the Lord being willing. While there we baptized her little godchild, the infant babe of Mrs. L. Parks. Sunday, March 25, is the day for the grand quarterly review to be held here under the direction of Mrs. J. C. Slaughter, assisted by Prof. Hale, the Rev. Dr. Eason and others. You can not afford to miss this. It is indeed interesting. Our third quarterly meeting will be held Sunday, April first, and according to the arrangements of the Methodist Ministers' Alliance the Rev. Dr. Shaw will preach the sermon, unless there is some change. The services will be at three p.m. sharp. Services, 25-Sunday, at 9:30 a.m.; Christian Endeavor at 6:30 p.m.; Preaching 11 a.m. and 7:45 p.m. All are welcome. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The subject for the Y. M. C.

FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Towns Ave. Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor Sunday proved to be another big day at historic 8th and Towne Ave. church, Rt. Rev. L. W. Kyles, A.M. D. D., the distinguished prelate and Bishop of Seventh Episcopal District, A. M. E. Zion church kindly came out over of reciprocation of the fellowship existing between these sister churches and the zeal for the unification of Methodism and preached an ever-to-be-remembered sermon at the morning service. The text was from Matt 7:25. "And it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock." There were fifteen accessions to our membership at this service. Nine of whom were converts. Young men, young ladies, professional men, business men and steady, industrious people of our city made up this galaxy of noble recruits for the service of God and humanity. There was one accession also Friday night, which gave a total of sixteen additions in the Sunday service. Two large congregations worshipped at both services. Long live Bishop Kyles to continue the splendid work he is now doing. We will be glad to have him come again. Sunday will be another big day at First church. It is "Baptising Day." The pastor will deliver a sermon at 11 o'clock on the subject. "Baptism" At 7:45 the subject will be "The Christian's a Militant Life." Baptising by immersion at Second A. M. E. church, Furlong Tract, at 3 p. m. You are welcome to all. Three big services Easter Sunday. The Sunday School will hold forth with special program at 3 o'clock in our spacious church auditorium. Get ready for the rally. Get ready for these services. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH The usual good services were held at this church on last Sunday. The pastor spoke at both services, taking as his text in the morning, "Thy king-dem come." in the evening, "An Indwidable Witness." The membership has been divided up into clubs and all are working analously in the interest of the big rally that comes the first Sunday in May, for the purpose of making improvements in the church and parsonage. The evening service of next Sunday, March 25th, will be under the auspices of the Missionary Society of the church, of which Mrs. Charles Alexander is the efficient president. Prof. and Mrs. F. S. Dart; formerly of Talladega College, Alabama, but more recently of Mt. Silinda, Africa, will be the principal speakers of the evening. Every one should grasp this opportunity of getting some first hand information about this great continent and its people. "Christ, the Restorer" will be the theme of the pastor at the morning service. Beginning next Monday evening, March 20, at continuing through Easter Sunday, April 8, a special series of evangelistic services will be held each evening except Saturday. Let every loyal Christian soldier enlist in this battle against sin and wickedness. Let no one stay away. The battle is the Lord's. Good preaching each night, by some of the ablest divines in the city. You are invited to all these services. Two very spiritual and helpful services were had at this church on the past Sabbath and were very much enjoyed by the two large congregations in attendance. The new pipe organ was in service for the first time and the people were charmed with the sweetness of the singing of the choir. The choir will render their regular monthly concert on Sunday evening and it goes without saying that it will be a treat to those who avail themselves of the opportunity to hear them. The Sunday School and Epworth League continue to grow in interest and numbers. The ladies of Board No. 1 are putting in a beautiful carpet for the pulpit and choir stand and when it is completed and the new seats are in, which will be soon, the church will be a thing of beauty. The public has a standing invitation to worship with us at any time. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Corner 18th and Paloma Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor "Christ our Teacher," was the theme of Rev. Greggs, pastor of the Independent Church of Christ, on last Sunday. He said in part: "The Christian army of this world is daily attending a University of learning in which Christ is the teacher. He, not like the instructors of the material university who impart knowledge to their students, along with that they teach and preach, living a pure honest and upright life. But they themselves are not examples. They do not practice what they preach. Christ is the perfect teacher, the one from whom you may accept his teaching and also take his life as your example and follow in his footsteps. In the University conducted by man, by some the examination day is looked forward to with dread. That is the student who has mixed too much play in with his work. He is not ready for the examination. So it is in the University conducted by our great teacher, and when the examination day comes, there will be some who have mixed too much of the world in with their Christian training and they will not be ready. The commencement day marks the beginning of a new life for man's university student. So does the commencement day of the greatest of all mark the beginning of a new and everlasting life for the one who has followed the directions of his teacher, Jesus Christ. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian A. P. Shaw, Pastor Large congregations attended the services at Wesley M. E. church last Sunday. The pastor, Rev. A. P. Shaw, preached morning and evening. Both sermons were well received. Three persons united with the church, two of whom were converts at the altar. Not a person who attended any of the services went away without being helped in some way. This Sunday is Young People's Day. At 11 a.m. the pastor will preach on the subject, "Safety First," a special sermon to young people but of great value to those of all ages. At 3 p.m. the pastor will preach the annual sermon for the Knights of Pythias. His subject will be "Building a Race." This is one of the pastor's greatest sermons. Every person who can be accommodated in our large auditorium: ought to hear it. At 7:30 p.m. the young people will render a sacred concert. Come and spend the day with us. The ladies of Rally Club No. 5 will serve dinner at the church. Mrs. Lund is captain, Mrs. S. H. Greer assistant. The "Old Reliable" cook, Mrs. Wilkerson, will preside in the kitchen. Come and bring your unconverted friends. The pastor is glad to have such splendid helpers in his local preachers, among whom are Brothers Warren Majors, Stout, Adkins and Jones. These brethren wi'. conduct a series of house prayer meetings next week preparatory, to our Passion Week revival services. Rev. Mr. Danyl of Fowler, Cal, was with us Sunday night and spoke encouragingly of our work. All are welcome.

CHICAGO, FIL. preach last Sunday morning. Rev. Tillman, the supply pastor, offered a very excellent sermon upon "Freedom by continually abiding in the Truth." "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free," was the Bible reference used. as usual Dr. Tillman presented phases on this subject not usually brought out in the average sermon. At 4 o'clock a special called meeting of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society was held to clear up matters relating to this organization's part in the Old Folks' Home project. The B. V. P. U. service and program were of usual merit. The evening service consisted of a powerful sermon upon "The Dry Bones," by Rev. Tillman. Mrs. Tandly of Los Angeles rendered a sweet vocal solo preceding the sermon and Mr. O'Neil of Los Angeles was heard in music and reading after the sermon. Dr. Tillman in his discourse indulged very lightly in the sensational fervor usually accorded this subject, but rather dealt wholly with its intrinsic value from a Biblical and historical standpoint. At all services appeals were made in behalf of the Old Folks Home opening and the church rally on Sunday, June 10. Excellent sermons, good music, large attendance and contributions with increasing additions to the church roll, sums up the average service to which the public is cordially invited. Mrs. Correy, president of the Young Women's Missionary Auxiliary, was hostess to her organization on Thursday evening of this week at her home on Garfield avenue. METROPOLITAN CHURCH NEWS The Etude Choral Society is enjoying increasingly interesting meetings on Tuesday evenings. Serious work has begun and some time in May fixed for the first public appearance of the society. Some of Verdi's operas have engaged the club's attention so far. The Rally at the church last Sunday was a gratifying success. Services will be conducted as usual Sunday. Everybody receives a cordial welcome to this church. RALLY REPORTS SWELL TOTAL Interest at the A. M. E. church Sunday centered about the final reports of the Rally begun the previous Sunday. The total announced was $789.15 raised as follows: From the fair and Ladies' Aid, $102.67; from Mrs. Harding's Club No. 1, $218.81, including a donation of $50 from Mr. Harry Adams; from Club No. 2, J. W. Davis, leader, $100.62; Club No. 3, Miss Silman, leader, $64.59; No. 4, Edward Fouche, leader, $70; No. 5, Mr. Andrew Burton, $103; No. 6, Miss Jennie Robinson, leader, $108.78. When the bulk of this money was taken to the bank to be applied on the note, the National Bank of Pasadena gave the officers $15 and announced $98 more would clear and enable the church to burn the note. Bro. Wm. Bunch has taken charge of an effort to raise this $98 in six weeks. Rev. Dyett is justly elated over the results of the rally, the church is proud of its showing and delighted with the pastor who has led them out of financial distress into a condition where no debts press. The Ladies' Aid met with Mrs. Robert Young of Mountain St. last Thursday and enjoyed a very pleasant session. Bro. Burton will lead the Young People's meeting Sunday night. Choir and Sunday school are preparing for Easter. The school takes the morning service hour. At night the choir will give a sacred concert. Zion Pastor to Preach Rev. Robeson of the First A. M. E. Zion church. Los Angeles, will speak at 3 o'clock of the first Sunday afternoon in April. Dr. Robeson will speak under the auspices of the Stewards who are in need of funds for their department. At night on that Sunday Rev. Henry of the Zion church in Monrovia will preach. This strenuous effort is being made to aid the steward's department.

Phone Main 1594 It occasionally happens that for some reason or other papers are missed by being mis-sent, lost or stolen. In case of subscribers not receiving their paper, inform us by postal, and we shall cheerfully furnish a duplicate copy of said missing number. Copy must be written plainly on one side of paper, and to insure insertion in current issue must reach this office Thursday. Correspondents, please take notice. The supposed street of gold in Bagdad it seems turned out to be only filthy lanes. J. G. Growes, the potato king of the Kaw Valley, if he has not lost his cunning, is the man of the hour. It is not only our duty to be loyal to the American flag, but it is to our interest to tell everybody that we are. The extraordinary session of Congress has been advanced two weeks. The extra session will meet on the second proximo. At any rate Francis J. Heney will have the everlasting gratitude of the small publishers of this country if the price of paper really goes down. This city, Los Angeles, has no doubt a large number of German sympathizers, but we dare say there is not a single Negro in the city or State who is other than a warm supporter of the United States. And now the experts declare that this nation is at war with Germany and that such war began with the sinking of our ships by the German submarines. This month can be justly termed the hoodoo month, for in the month of April began the revolutionary war, also the Mexican war, the Black Hawk war, the Civil war and the Spanish American war. The All American League will have a public session Monday evening, March 26th, at the Congregationalist church, Dr. Lightner, pastor, and the newly elected president, J. A. Colley, will preside. Exhibitors at the recent Conclave at Exposition Park who have not received their diplomas will receive them at this meeting, and also have an opportunity to become members of the League. We are informed that the Negro National Educational Association in its session at Kansas City, Mo., addressed resolutions to President Wilson pledging its 56,000 members to sustain him in his declaration of war on Germany. Good, the California Eagle will proceed to editorially pledge the entire Negro population of the United States to any and all wars the nation has on hand at present and likely to have in its history. Now! In a patriotic speech in New York, Theodore Roosevelt calls for volunteers to go into the trenches of Europe at once. This is not a very encouraging invitation to enlist. In the trenches is largely the "waiting and watching" inactivity that takes all the enthusiasm out of fighting. Why not invite the American boy to enlist for some genuine "scrapping," that is the true American way. Now that ex-Mayor Snyder has shied his caster into the ring something will be doing. The Socialist Party also has entered a ticket for Mayor and Councilmen. The way the line-up appears now the candidacy of Snyder will be the "liberal sentiment," which would have included a large proportion of the Union Labor vote were it not that the Socialist ticket will as usual receive a large proportion of that vote. The successful effort Mayor Woodman is making to throttle the "high cost of living" by establishing municipally owned and controlled food markets gives the friends of the Mayor hopes to elect him in the primaries. With fair minded men no reason can be shown why Mayor Woodman should be held responsible for the councilmanic conditions he found when he became the chief executive of the city. MAYOR WOODMAN HAS MADE GOOD The regime of Mayor Woodman as the executive head of the city government of Los Angeles has challenged the admiration of all the people who stand for real progress. He has proved his worth by giving to the city a straightforward business administration and out of the chaotic state in which he found the city's affairs the best of order now prevails and it can be truly said that the highest ambition of his honor, the mayor, has been to render the most good to the greatest number of its citizens. It would be impossible to please everybody, there are even individual instances from a personal standpoint that we could say that things have not been decided to our liking, but way above that we have seen a man who has demonstrated exceptional executive ability, and who has absolutely made good, who has set a standard for business methods and honesty in the government of this great city and on this record the California Eagle desires to endorse Mayor Woodman and to tender our support for his election to succeed himself at the coming primaries. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE THE TRUE AND DEPENDABLE AMERICAN We have before us a letter received from Mr. C. F. Easton, who was at one time chancellor of the K. and P.'s of the New England jurisdiction of the E. & W. H. division of that order, wherein he says:—"The only dependable elements here after all is the Afro American. Patriotic, unflinchingly loyal and incomparably courageous, he is the true American." This last paragraph after he had expressed himself thus: "I hope that the railroad strike does not materialize; it would be both inopportune and disastrous. Never did the United States need concerted efforts of all its elements more than at the present time. The resourceful German would quickly profit by resulting disorders of a strike." Mr. Easton speaks with some authority. The Colony and State of Mass., in the Revolutionary war and in the Civil war, received eloquent testimonies of the Negro's loyalty, patriotism and courage. Here but recently a German statesman is reported as saying, "deprive the United States of her fighting Negro population and Germany would have nothing to fear from a war with the United States." However true or false this may be, the man who spoke those words has had an opportunity to witness the fighting qualities of the Singalese, Turcos and other of this dark race on the battlefields of Europe, and their magnificent charges upon the embattled works of the enemy have been incomparable. The Negro sleeps now upon his wrongs and they are many, brutal and infernal, may he never in a spirit of reprisal awake to a sense of his great possibilities as a soldier, soldiering distinctly for himself. May he remain as he is today, "patriotic, unflinchingly loyal and incomparably courageous. No man worked harder for the magnificent vote for United States Senator Johnson than the Hon. Joseph Crail, who was chairman of the Campaign Committee of the "Hughes, Fairbanks and Johnson" campaign in Southern California. In close touch with Mr. E. A. Dickson, the little Warwick of Southern California politics, and all of the workers for humane government, Mr. Crail should be a powerful factor in the administration of Governor Stephens. He has the happy faculty of knowing how to meet men of all classes, winning and retaining their confidence, and a discernment that properly "sizes up" their efficiency and reliability. Governor Stephens made a happy selection when he appointed Executive Secretary Madsen his private secretary, signifying that the very effective machinery of government that for six years so successfully combatted reaction, will continue on the job for at least two years longer, when it is to be hoped the same tremendous majority that applauded with their vote the record of his distinguished predecessor, will elect Governor Stephens for the four years term. Now Governor Stephens has an opportunity to repeat himself by the appointment of Mr. Crail, an eminent attorney, to the position of executive secretary and by increasing the pay of that office to a par with the salary of the private secretary, not only reward a deserving man, but also retain for the State a thoroughly capable servant. There is no certainty that Mr. Crail would give up his large and lucrative practice to accept any political position, and this editorial is written without any knowledge whatever of his disposition along these lines, but the people of Southern California would gratefully acknowledge this deserved recognition of the governor's home section of the great State which has so frequently honored Mr. Stephens by sending him as their representative to Congress, which gave him the opportunity to show his eminent fitness for the exalted position he now holds. 100 FORD'S HAIR POMADE MAKES HARSH HAIR SAFER, MORE FLUORIDATED TO CROW AND PUT UP IN ANY STYLE THE LENGTH WILL PERMIT PRICE 25¢ AND 50¢ A BOTTLE FORD'S ROYAL WHITE SKIN LOTION MAKES HARSH HAIR WHITEN AS SOON AS IT IS PUT ON EXTENLENT FOR PHAPES, DRUGGY SKIN AND LOCAL SKIN DISEASES PRICE 25¢ A BOTTLE FORD'S HAIR STRAIGHTENER NO. 022 STRAIGHTENS THE HUE BEST FOR QUICKEST RUN WE KNOW OF TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR PRICE $2.00 PATENT SECTIONAL TOOTH COMB PATENTED GRASSING DEVICE FOR GRASSING TEETH TIGHT NO. 023.

Manning, Reporter for the California Eagle, was standing on the corner of 2nd and Holmes Ave. about 4:50 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, when a bunch of about a half-a-dozen grow up children came running towards him, hellowing Fire! Fire!! Upon getting to where he stood they requested him to turn in the alarm, which he readily and hastily did. While the Fire Department was responding to the call, which it immediately did, our reporter followed the children to the scene of the fire, and found himself on 54th St. where he saw everybody hollowing and crying. All that seemed to have been in the house, was now on the street. He was informed that the lady had gone to the grocery, but he was not satisfied, for he could see no real cause for the excitement, so he went on in to the house to make further investigations, and there he found the lady of the house standing in the middle of the floor, and telling her story in these words, "Hey! is all skerd to det, an moved out on da stret, wen da aint no flah but in da chimney." The reporter offered his sympathy. Miss Bailey Laid To Rest. Miss Jessie Bailey, who died at her home, 1017 E. 9th St., last Friday, March 17th, was buried on Tuesday, Mareh 20th.

E. Church. She leaves behind a loving mother, Mrs. Ruth Miller, a sister, Mrs. C. McDonald, and two brothers. Roberts & Sons was in charge, and the internment was at Rosedale Cemetery. Dept. of Forestry of Womens' State Federation. BY MRS. GRAHAM. The first of a series of articles which will appear in this paper from the Forestry Dept. of the State Federation. Gardens are not luxuries, they are as essential to a home as a dress is to a woman. They belong to the category of necessities, such as bath and breakfast, rather than to that of superfluities like clubs and candy,—and they cost less. To live in a country or city and not be surrounded with flowers or vegetable gardens, is contrary to nature. Every home should have, if not a garden, then blooms and greenery, color and background. The size of our place and of our pocketbooks are the first points to be considered in laying out our lot or back yard. But even if the start be small we know that year by year we can add a few plants or a new shrub, and have the delight of watering the growth of one garden. * Our previous instruction under the head of the Forestry Dept. has dealt mostly with the flower gardens; but this year, since the complaints of hard times and high cost of living are every where; the vegetable garden would be quite interesting and helpful to the many who have back yards. SOJOURNER NOTES The Sojourner Truth class in Parliamentary Law completed its first term Monday, March 12th, and after a vacation of one week will reopen for second term, March 26th, at 1:20 p. m.

They all came just at the right time. Miss Daisy King on Greely avenue is contemplating going north in the near future. On last Tuesday evening the Junior girls of the Mt.

Wilde (Smokestack) candidate leading the ticket. The Eagle predicted Mr. Wilde's victory, and was at all times seeing that the voters were casting their ballots for the right man in the right place. The people of San Diego express the appreciation for all the good deeds Mr. Wilde has done by giving him the majority. But the battle is not over.

Much credit is due to his efficient wife, whose untiring efforts and encouraging methods helped to swing victory. Now, let's all that voted for Bruschi make ourself a committee of one and see that our friends vote and vote solid for the logical candidate, Virgilio Bruschi, Sr. From The Scrap Book BY J.D.Reynolds. CREOLES OF LOUISIANA Harris. Dickson, who knows a great deal about New Orleans, declared in an article published some years ago that outside lower Louisiana the word "Creole" is still misunderstood, and added this definition of the term: "A person of mixed French and Spanish blood, born in Louisiana." Between the dialect of the Louisiana Cajun (Canadian) and that of the French Canadian of Quebec and Northern New York there is a strong resemblance—the Creole negro language is a thing entirely apart, being made up, it is said, partly from French and partly from African word sounds, just as the "gulla" of the South Carolina coast is made up from African and English.—Colliers. SIX CITIES YOU SHQULD SEE There are at least six cities on this continent which everyone should see. Everyone should see New York because it is the largest city in the world, and because it combines the magnificence, the wonder, the beauty, the sordidness and the shame of a great metropolis; everyone should see San Francisco because it is so vivid, so alive, so golden; everyone should see Washington, the clean, white splendor of which it like the embodiment of a national dream; everyone should see the old granite city of Quebec piled on its hills above the river like some fortified town in France; everyone should see the sweet and aristocratic city of Charleston which suggests a museum of tradition and early American elegance, and of course everyone should see New Orleans—Julian Street in Collier's Weekly.

ANOTHER FOUR YEARS, MR. WILSON Woodrow Wilson, against the desire of the Colored people of this country, you have been reelected and returned to power. Although against our wishes and what we consider the best interests of the country, we submit to the rule of the majority (?) which is or should be the guiding principle in a Democracy. Mr. Wilson, during your last term, while you have, in time and out of time, preached "humanity," you have done nothing to lessen the oppression or to right the wrongs of ten million loyal Colored Americans. Conceding that you have dealt humanely with Mexico, if rashly and drastically with Haiti, what have you done to lessen the burdens-or to encourage the game struggle against mighty and almost overwhelming odds of ten million native Americans? Mr. Wilson, the Colored people of this country have been and continue to be ever ready to give their best blood in defence of the Stars and Stripes. This country is now facing a serious crisis in both her foreign and domestic relations. Should war come, Mr. Wilson, you will be surrounded by traitors and spies, but these will all be white persons, Mr. Wilson: Wherever danger threatens the Colored people are with you, Woodrow Wilson. Not because they love you, but because as President you represent the Flag. And, Woodrow Wilson, we want you to understand clearly that we consider you false to your great trust as President of all the American people, and we are watching you keenly to see whether that great "humanity" you have so much prated about will be for another four years ```markdown ``` Phones: Main 1612, Main 6128 Liquor House Street drink, Pint or Quart CKER.

C. H. Anderson, late pastor of New Hope Baptist church (Los Angeles); Rev. Shields, of San Diego; Mrs. Dent, of Pasadena, and others, launched the idea of the Home. After the women of the women's missionary department of the Association had ably assisted in raising the necessary money to finish paying for the four acres and for starting the new building, the work of erecting the new building was reposed in the directors, whose building committee has faithfully stuck to the work of attending to the many details of the business of letting the contract, seeing that the work was properly done, and of arranging for the dedication. The building committee is now composed of Rev. J. M. Riddle (Pasadena), chairman; Mrs. W. E. Ford and Mrs. S. B. Strickland (both of Pasadena); Mrs. J. Davis, Mr. S. P. Johnson, and Mr. Afue McDowell, Attorney for the Association (Los Angeles).

GLORIOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICE Sunday, March 25, has been set aside by the churches of this city as a day to help the "Women's Day Nursery" in the performance of the tasks to which they have assigned themselves. These noble women are doing a great work. They are satisfying a need in this community that will result in the proper rearing of many to be numbered among future generations. They are helping mothers facing the arduous struggle for existence by taking their little ones and giving them the nurture without which their lives would be sadly neglected. Talk about unselfishness—talk about a love for humanity—talk about serving your fellowmen. What a beautiful picture these women make as for no compensation other than the satisfaction of duty well done they give their time, talents, possessions and gifts to properly direct the energies of these budding plants. I have no doubt that the angels often make glad the City of God as they see them walking in the footsteps of Him of whom it is said, "He went about doing good." I can see some soul borne down amid the loads of envy, selfishness and avarice, about to lose faith in humanity, thrilled with joy as it sees written over the portals of this nursery, "Our hearts throb for the welfare of mankind. Here are pure unselfish, loyal and devoted souls laboring to make the world better and mankind happier." All that these noble women ask is the unstinted support of those who benefit by their ministrations. All they ask is that at such times as now we give them a concrete expression of our appreciation and gratitude for their self-sacrifice and devotion to a worthy cause. Shall we answer the call? Shall we respond to their appeal? Let us heartily answer yes. Let us give a contribution that will make their hearts glad. Let us enable them as they bind up broken hearts, help to fill being voids, wipe the tears from anxious eyes, and bear the burden of many mothers, feel I know that they have the loyal and appreciative support of those who hail them as Christian benefactors.

R·B STRICTLY HANDMADE 5¢ CIGAR Frank J. Horner Candidate for the City Council. In announcing my candidacy for the council I state my platform to be: "The development of industry, the promotion of the interest of the man who works, and economy on little things as well as big. The expansion of the City's commerce and the illimination of heavy taxes for unnecessary improvements. Efficiecy and practical economy." Having been a workingman all my life, the interest of the man who works will receive the first consideration from me. 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.

Kohn HATTER Los Angeles Cal TTLED and Refreshing THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE "Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me."—Verse 6. For three and one-half years our Lord had been making Himself known to His disciples, and had been acquainting them with the Father's character. Hence when He now informed them that He was about to return to the Father, they were to feel that they knew the Father better than ever, and could better than ever appreciate such a Home of righteousness and true happiness as he would provide and maintain. Moreover, their experience with our Lord, together with His instructions and teachings, had made them acquainted with the way to God, even though they did not recognize it as such. Hence our Lord's declaration, "I am the Way the Truth and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." Our Lord is the way in that through His sacrifice He has provided the ransom price. But the work of redeeming Adam and his race includes more than merely the providing of the ransom price, it includes the recovery of Adam and his posterity from the power of sin and death. Manifestly this work has not yet been accomplished, in fact, it has scarcely began. The only disposition thus far of the merit of the ransom has been its imputation to the church. For nearly nineteen centuries—ever since our Lord's death and His appearance in the presence of God for the church—the ransom price has been in the hands of Divine Justice, unapplied as respects the world, and only imputed to the church, called out from the world during the Gospel Age, and it will require additionally the entire thousand years of the Messiah's reign to recover fully from the power of sin and death Adam and all of his posterity. Our Lord is the Truth in the sense that only through His words, His instructions, His guidance, could there be any hope of coming into harmony with the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth. He was the life in that all the race was dead, was under Divine sentence, had forfeited the right to life, and none could come into life conditions again except through Him—through the life which He gave for ours. Thus He is our ransom, our Way, our Teacher, our Instructor in righteousness, in the Truth, the One through whom we obtain life. Acts 4:12, John 14:6. So also Christ will be the Way, the Truth, the Life to the world of mankind during the millennial age. No man need hope for any place in any of the mansions of the Father's House by any other way, by any other truth or by any other life. As our Lord by His sacrifice and offering opened for the Gospel Church, His Bride, an abode in the Divine division of God's House, the Universe, so by the same sacrifice He will restore whosoever will of mankind and give them a home in the earthly division of the Father's House—Acts 3:19-23. The Very Image of God in the Flesh Much as the Apostle esteemed the Master, it was difficult for them to grasp the thought of His perfection, to realize that He was the very image of God in the flesh. I Tim. 3:16. They had heard Him tell what they already knew from the law—that "God is a Spirit," not flesh and hence invisible. They had already heard Him declare previously, "No man hath ever seen God at any time; the Only Begotten Son." hath revealed Him." John 1:18. But they never grasped the thought that in seeing Jesus they saw the most that was possible to bee seen of the divine character—its likeness its perfect image in the flesh. It was therefore necessary that the Master should call their attention to this fact, saying, "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father." He did not mean for them to understand that He was the Father, for this He had repeatedly claimed, telling them that the Father was greater than He, and the works which He did were accomplished by the Father's power. John 14:28. Nor did He mean them to understand that seeing Him they had seen an invisible being, as God is invisible. But He did mean them to understand that in seeing His character, His motives, His love, they had seen that which faithfully represented the Father in all these particulars. He would have them understand the unity subsisting between the Father and Himself, understand that His will was buried in the Father's will, that He desired no other will. He would have them understand that the Father, by His power, by His spirit, dwelt in the Son also, so that His words and His works fully and completely represented the Father. He declared to them that the works which they had witnessed during His ministry fully attested this power of the highest resting upon Him and operating through Him. His statement seems to have satisfied them and to have brought rest to their hearts. His Followers to Do Greater Works As a further explanation of the necessity of His going to the Father, our Lord said that as a result of His departure His followers should do greater works than He had done. Verse 12. Perhaps it may be proper to think that some of these greater works will be accomplished after the kingdom has been established—the great work of awakening mankind from the death-sleep and of restoring the willing and obedience to the full perfection of human life. Truly this will be a great work than our Lord Jesus accomplished at His First Advent; for then His greatest work was the awakening of a few sleeping ones without bringing them to full perfection of human nature! But this is not the only sense in which the Lord's followers are to understand that their work shall be greater than those of the Master. The Lord's work was on the human plain as a matter of necessity. The Holy Spirit had not yet come—could not come until He had given the ransom price and had presented it to the Father, and it had been accepted, consequently, since those to whom He ministered, including His Apostles, had not been spirit-begotten, they could not be instructed from that standpoint. Their ears were heavy enough as respecting earthly things; but in regard to Heavenly things they could understand nothing; for "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." Only since Pentacost is it that "God hath revealed them, spiritual things, unto us by His Spirit," which "searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." I Cor. 2:10, 14; John 3:12. Our Lord could do and teach on no higher plane than the earthly, except as He "spoke unto the people in parables and dark sayings," which in due time the church would understand, under the leadings of the Holy Spirit. It was in consequence of this that our Lord's miracles were all physical, and that His plain teachings were all of a nature appreciable by the natural man.

Why not seek independence and comfort in life? There are many ways to attain it if you only know how. All you need is an opportunity to get into a legal and honest money-making enterprise on the ground floor and at the right time and you are in the road to success. This is Your Opportunity-The Chance of Your Life to join us in the Oil Land Development Industry—the greatest money-making industry of today. Small investors have made and are still making fabulous profits from oil and oil lands. In many instances emill investors have made from $50 to $500 for every dollar invested. You can have the game opportunity if you will accept our cooperation. This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit-earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person to whose attention this announcement comes. It offers an opportunity for you to invest a large or small sum in a sane, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large oil lots and an interest in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit-sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil as well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investor 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.
