ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 TH THROW OPEN AGGRESSIVE YOUNG MINISTER Offers Argument in Favor of Negro Press. REV. B. C. ROBESON THE LOS ANGELES NEGRO WEEKLY PRESS Of all the institutions in our City none exceeds in influence and continuous, service regardless of their nature, the Negro Press. The Negro Editor is the miracle of miracles. He does everything and anything essential to the life of his weekly, manages, edits, and many times even sets the type. From morning till night, week to week, month to month, year to year, he toils and labors and struggles to place on our tables a concrete idea of what he terms real service. How he thrives nobody can tell. Receiving but meagre support from those whose battles he fights, burdens he bears, and crosses he lifts; he plods on uncomplainingly, anxiously waiting and watching for the dawn of a brighter day. Churches lift their spires heavenward and often fall to the ground as they strike the rock of dissension and strife. Fraternal Orders marcn joyfully along only to smoke the pipe of disgust eventually as a result of their own actions. Other organizations bob up over night and as quickly slide into the valey of forgetfulness, but the Ngro Weekly chronicles all these happenings and lives to place inscriptions on their tombs. There must be a reason for this ability to win against great odds, to smile when the way is rough and walk erase when the feet are sore. I verify believe it can be found in the fact that at all times it remains true to its ideals and standards. It never forgets, only in rare instances, its purpose to lift up the race, to clarify its vision, and lead it into the paths of truth. Because its cold type burns with the fire-blood of human action. It constructs no barirers and sings no song of partiality. It recognizes all men as human beings and gives all a square deal before the bar of public opinion. It cateres no scandals, and countenances no slanderous assaults. Born because of a deep, vital need in the life of our people, it lauds the hero, condemns the criminal, encourages the worthy and assails with a peculiar force every doer of wrong. We have four weekly papers here, viz: The California Eagle, The New Age, The Los Angeles Post, The Citizens' Advocate. They strive to help us climb the ladedr of progress; they warm us of the snares and pitfalls along the way; they cry out against the wrongs directed at us until Justice often lifts its voice and says: "Let them alone!" They have not and they do not receive the support to possible that we shall sit by and which they are entitled. Is it not say a word of encouragement? Shall we refuse to accept what they so freely give, their time, talents, and gifts for such a paltry sum? Let us say nay! They open their columns to receive our essays, mnuscripts, Church magazines without a murmur. Other papers are dying with heart trouble at the high cost of paper and many not dead are on the border land of nervous prostration, but our Negrao Weeklies plod on and never fail us. They come with amazing regularity and lift no distressing voice. In a time like this when it is so earnestly teaching us the principles of patriotism, love and justice; when it is blazing the trail along which we shall surely have to travel and creating an atmosphere of happiness and peace, let us rise with one accord and stretch out a helping hand. Let us urge our friends and constituents to take one if not all of them and keep posted on the happenings of the day and drink from the fount of inspiration they afford. "How much a little word of praise Will keep a fellow going! How much a little compliment Will keep the sunlight flowing A word of cheer will do it, too. So fellow man and woman, Let's try today along the way, To be a little human!" REV. B. C. ROBESON, Pastor of First A. M. E. Zion Church. NOTES OF INTEREST FROM PHOENIX, THE METROPOLIS OF THE MIGHTY FAR SOUTHWEST. The "Fighting Parson," Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, Sways Great Crowds, as He Tours the State in Triumph. Racial Progress Seen Along All Lines. By Staff Correspondent National Negro News Service. Phoenix, the queen city of the great Salt River valley, where once the burning sands of the desert held grim death and sway, where naugh of verdure gladdened the eye of man by night or day, there stands the bustling, busy city of Phoenix, metropolic of the mighty Far Southwest; there orchards vast and surrounded by fields of greenest grain, with beautiful homes and thousands of happy, contented, prosperous citizens. Phoenix is the county seat of Maricopa county and the capital of the Arizona, and has a population of about 23,000, and among them some of the most industrious and prosperous Negro citizens that can be found in the United States. Phoenix is a city of permanence and plentitude, surrounded by 200,000 acres of cultivated land, large producing mines, also enormous cattle, sheep and lumber industries, and offers a fine opportunity for the industrious Negro home seeker, the professional man, lawyer, merchant or farmer. There are three well established churches, namely the Second Baptist church, which is the leading and most influential, over which the Rev. Dr. F. T. Walker presides as pastor. Dr. Walker was formerly, of Bakersfield, California, and is doing a great work here in Arizona, assisted by his accomplished wife, Mrs. Louisa Walker. Dr. Walker is leader of the Negro Baptist host of Arizona, moderator of the Paradise Baptist Association. The African Methodist Episcopal church, is doing a great work under the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Herring, who is caring for San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 31, 1917 African Methodism in the mighty Southwest. The Phillips Chapel Colored Methodist Episcopal church is pastored by Rev. A. C. Norris, a splendid young man, who is lifting high the standard of Colored Methodism. The educational facilities are the best with separate school system, and has a beautiful modern, well equipped school building known as the Douglass school with a faculty consisting of a principal and three teachers, Prof P. Landry, an old New Orleans boy, formerly principal high school, Bryant, Texas; the assistants are the Mesdames Annie Maroney and E. C. Clayton. If there is any question as to the wisdom of having Negro teachers to train Negro children a visit to the Douglass school would convince the most skeptic, for the pupils of Douglass school are among the best informed the writer has had an opportunity of witnessing their work in class room in many a day. Principal Landry and his able assistants are to be commended for the high standard of efficiency among their students. The writer's attention was attracted by the announcement that the "Fighting Parson," Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, California's noted Black preacher, would speak at the Second Baptist church on Sunday evening. It would seem that the whole town had gone wild over the California preacher, both white and Black. It reminded one of the days of the late Booker T. Washington. When he visited a town he was the man of the hour. On Sunday evening it seemed as if all roads lead to the historic Second Baptist church, when the writer reached the edifice it was packed with a most cosmopolitan crowd of both Races that came to hear the much talked of "Fighting Parson," and in the language of the street urchin, "Der Parson was there wid de goods." He preached one of his famous sermons on the subject, "Where did Cain get his wife?" and from the moment that Pastor Walked introduced the famous Black preacher he was master of the situation and swayed the vast assemblage at will with his wit, humor and logic. His message was pronounced one of the most forceful ever listened to in Phoenix. So great was the demand for Dr. McPherson to give his famous lecture on the "Daring Charge of Black Regiment at San Juan Hill," until he consented to deliver the same on Tuesday evening before packed house. Many were turned away long before the hour for him to speak. While in the city Dr. McPherson was pleasantly entertained by Rev. and Mrs. F. T. Walker, and was taken out sight seeing both in automobile and horse and buggy. The good Dr. Walker and his excellent wife did much to make the parson's stay pleasant. On Friday evenig, Dr. McPherson gave a powerful address on the subject "The Battle for Decency," under the auspices of the Clean Government forces and the meeting was attended by many of the leading civic workers in Phoenix, who applauded the forceful utterances as he plead for civic purity in clean government. One of the prominent Race physicians that has a lucrative practice is Dr. W. C. Haskett. Phoenix offers a splendid field for a good. Negro lawyer and weekly newspaper as the organ of the progressive Negroes of the mighty Far Southwest. Home-seekers who contemplate coming to Arizona, would do well to correspond with Rev. Dr. F. T. Walker, 1114 South 3rd Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona. "A plain man of the people, with a heart and conscience." Above is a sentence which the writer has used when asked as to his opinion of James C. Borton, our "Jim," as everybody knows him, and no one has ever known him to be anything but kindly, unselfish, public-spirited, generous and square as a brick. When benefit performances are to be pulled off for people burned out, sick or crippled, everybody here says, "Let Jim do it," and he does it "to the queen's taste" and that of the public. When weak and weary members of a spineless organization are ready to have it pass in its checks, some one suggests that Jim can make it and the public sit up and take notice, and he does it, as at the recent meeting at the library auditorium. When a fraternal society gets "that tired feeling," it elects Jim to be president, and he injects into it lots of "pep" and "ginger," plays Santa Claus with the children, supplies candy and good cheer, being the "Sunny Jim" of every gathering where the plain people assemble. With a fair amount of education, judgment and hard horse sense, men like Jim Borton keep in close touch with everything discussed in the community, and with good conscience and character, few men are better able to size up any situation. We have as leading members of our city council a plaster molder, a carpenter, a dentist and an oil man, all more alert and more valuable because they, like Lincoln, are plain men. Bishop McIntyre, best beloved of Los Angeles Methodists, was for years a bricklayer, and the very best men in public life came from business, the farm or the trades, rather than from the professions. What is needed here and elsewhere are men who are unselfish, thinking how to help others and make life more cheerful for the workers rather than the shirkers. James C. Borton has hundreds of friends among all classes and conditions of men. He has the respect of women and the love of little children. If elected councilman, he will do his duty manfully, and be everlastingly at it. He now holds the office of president of the Knights and Ladies of Security, Angelino Council No. 1543, and there, as elsewhere, he is the man for the place. In answer to a broadcast appeal five or six hundred persons were present last Sunday afternoon to join in the formal celebration of declaring the Old Folk's Home open. The home is situated on Linwood road, the longest and busiest highway leading into Watts, and is the culmination of a twenty years' effort by the Baptists of Southern California. The idea of this Old Folk's Home was conceived by the late Rev. C. H. Anderson, who was the first colored preacher to build and maintain a church for the race in Los Angeles. It is said that for a number of years Rev. Anderson nursed his idea single handed until the sense of the great need impressed itself upon the women of the churches known as "The Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society." Then with the proper encouragement from such ministers and laymen, some of whom represent the early days, while others the latter, as Rev. J. D. Gordon, the late editor, J. J. Neimore, Rev. J. F. McCoy and Rev. H. B. Thomas, the work actually began. Sunday's Program A feature of the program was the singing of old familiar hymns by the big congregation, which gathered in a semicircle before the building, and was addressed by speakers who used the front balcony for a platform. The singing was conducted by William Reynolds. After an opening prayer by the Rev. W.H. Hughes, and a Scripture reading by the Rev. A. P. Ramsey, the new building was formally turned over to the board of directors by the Rev. J. M. Riddle, of Pasadena, chairman of the building committee. The Rev. F. W. Cooper, of Riverside, made the speech of acceptanceon behalf of the directors. Other speakers were Mrs. S. B. Strickland, the Revs. J. D. Gordon, E. W. Kinchen, H. B. Thomas, Mrs. M. J. Davis, Mrs. C. N. Moore, and Mrs. W. C. Dent. The Rev. W. H. Hughes was master of ceremonies. The new home was designed and built by colored workmen, namely, Olive O. Byd & Co. Mrs. S. B. Strickland, who for five consecutive terms was president of the W. H. and F. M. Society gave a glowing report of the work accomplished by the toilers of the age. It is impossible to give credit to all who labored ardently in behalf of this work, but we are giving as fa ras possible a record of the accomplishments of some individual and organization efforts. These are some of the individuals and leaders of societies who labored in paying off the mortgage and building this home: Individual work: S. B. Strickland, Mrs. Fanny Johnson, Mrs. Lula Hubbard, Mrs. P. E. Edwards, Mrs. Ausborn of 1st San Diego, Mrs. M. Sweef, Mrs. L. Gillians, Leaders with their societies: Mrs. M. J. Davis and 2nd Baptist Society, Mrs. S. C. Cole and Tabernacle Society, Mrs. Jenks and Mrs. Fouse of New Hope Society, Los Angeles, Mt. Zion, Los Angeles, Mrs. Johnson and Society, Mrs. I. H. Ford, Friendship Society, Mrs. M. Reynolds of the Y. W. A., Mrs. M. E. Scott, secured the $1000.00 from Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Hayden with her Society, Mt. Zion, San Diego, Mrs. B. Conway and Society, Santa Barbara; Mrs. Woodly and 1st St. Baptist Society, San Diego; New Hope, San Bernardino Society; 2nd Baptist Society of Riverside; Mrs. Hulbert and Allensworth Club. Money Raised Raised in five years, $3,958.00. The followings organization are furnishing the home: The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Convention District furnishes living room at cost of $115.00; New Hope Society Chapel approximate cost $175.00; Mt. Zion Society, Los Angeles, 1 bed room, $55.00; Watts Christian Aid Club, $50.00; Mrs. Brent, 1 room; Allensworth Club, 1 room, $50.00; Virginia Club, 1 room, $50.00;Tabernacle Art Guild, reception hall; 2nd Baptist Society, 1 room. Mrs. H. Owens was also one of the early laborers. MATRON Mrs. M. J. Davis, who has been been selected first matron of this beautiful little home, which is the personification of neatness is certainly properly fitted to the position, since Mrs. Davis, even before she reached her majority, has labored with the effort untiringly. Mrs. Davis announces that the home will be open for the reception of inmates April 15, and here are the requirements. Inmates must be at least fifty-five years of age, must be in fair health, and must pay an admittance fee of $100 in advance. Application blanks may be obtained from Afue McDowell, secretary of the board of directors. The NUMBER 7 TS OF THE RACE Home is strictly non-sectarian in its operation; and inmates will be accepted without regard to religions. The new building is arranged to accommodate both men and women; but some of the inmates prefer separate buildings for men and women. To meet this situation, the Association has not sufficient finances, but it is expected that in the future an effort may be made to erect separate building for the old men, as a surprising number of applications have already been received. SACRAMENTO NEWS Mr. J. H., Sykes entertained the Los Angeles attaches of the legislature on last Thursday evening. B. A. Johnson, leading caterer, prosperous and highly respected citizen of this city, informally entertained at his magnificent residence on las Friday. F. J. Butler, W. Peck and J. B. Bass, editor of the California Eagle. Stephen Thompson is visiting, for a few days in Woodland. Everybody is very busy getting ready for that grand Easter ball. Editor Bass has consented to deliver his famous lecture at Woodland and at both of the churches in this city during the coming month. His first date will be at Woodland, Tuesday night. WOODLAND, CAL. The editor on last Sunday for the first time visited the bustling community of Woodland which place is a 45 minute trolley ride from Sacramento. We found here during our short stay a people who are in every way up to the standard as representative citizens. We found them apparently appreciative and truly hospitable. We found the Second Baptist church and found a splendid well appointed edifice which would do signal credit to a town much larger than Woodland. We found in Rev. Danrije a man who is wide awake to the interests of his people and who has the confidence and respect of the people to the utmost. We were prevailed on to stay over to the evening service and never regretted the same because Rev. Dadrije is a speaker of great ability and we enjoyed an able sermon. We addressed both the B. Y. P. U. and the congregation at the conclusion of the evening service. Special arrangements were made for us to lecture at this church Tuesday evening, April 3rd. WITH THE LAWMAKERS AT THE STATE CAPITAL The legislature is steadily grinding out measures which will ultimately adorn the statute books of the great State of California, since our last letter there Continued on page 6 THE HEART OF A HERO Many of the churches and Sunday schools are constantly complaining because so many more people deposit their nickels and dimes in the movie picture than in the church. A brilliant idea has been conceived in the active brain of Mrs. Lillian Craw, who is determined to counteract this condition of affairs. Come and see for yourself on next Tuesday evening under the auspices of the A. B. O. U. T. club and directed by Mrs. Craw. "The Heart of a Hero" a clean, spicy drama, will be presented at the First A. M. E. church Tuesday. This drama will contain no feature that will be demoralizing to the sanctity of the church, but in the meantime contain enough ginger to make it fascinating. ```markdown ``` What the Churches are Doing What the Church LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH Rev. E. E. Lightner, Pastor 34th St. and Central Ave. "The stirst the Restorer," was the subject of the pastor on last Sunday at the morning service. In the evening Prof. and Mrs. F. S. Dart, recently from Africa, told of their work in the "Dark Continent." Their message was the means of deepening the interest in missionary activities. The pre-Easter Revival Services had a good setting on Monday night when Miss Barrell, a reclaimed "white slave," told of how she had been rescued from a life of ruin and shame. She will speak at some the subsequent meetings, which will continue through Easter. Among those who will speak at the meetings next week will be Dr. H. D. Prowd, Rev. B. C. Robeson, Rev. J. C. Anderson, Rev. E. R. Johnson and others. Every Christian is invited to come and bring his or her unconverted friends. "The victory may depend on you." There will be three services on Sunday, 11:15 a.m., 3:00 p.m. and 8 p.m., with communion at the morning and evening services. Sunday school 10 a.m., Christian Endeavor 7:00 p.m. PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor High religious fervor marked the past Sabbath's services at this church, culminating in the evening meeting when in addition to the usual powerful sermon by the pastor and a solo by Manuel Hall, a short address by Capt. F. H. Crumbly on the declaration of principles upon which the church was founded aroused an enthusiasm among the members and friends that was splendid testimony of their loyal devotion to movement which this church represents. Before the regular evening service a meeting of the young people of the church excited the mobilization of a group of Christian Endeavor with the following principal officers: Miss Ruby Walker, president; Miss Cornelia Leggett, secretary; Miss Ruth Walker, treasurer. Next Sunday will undoubtedly prove the biggest day since the opening of the new church. The usual first Sunday services will be given especial significance by the observance of Palm Sunday in sermons and choral music. At 3 o'clock the annual Sunday sermon will be preached to the Masonic lodges in the city, by extended all the people to all services. SAN FRANCISCO PASTOR AT FORUM SUNDAY Rev. Allen Newman of San Francisco will address the Forum Sunday afternoon, 4:30, Odd Fellows' Hall. Rev. Mr. Newman is an interesting speaker and general public should avail themselves of an opportunity to hear him. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor Last Sunday was a great day at Wesley M. E. Church. The pastor preached at 11 a.m. on "Safety First." Four persons united with the church by letter and seven young people were converted at the altar. The sermon in the afternoon on "Building a Race," to the Knights of Pythias, was well received by all who heard it. A splendid sacred concert was rendered at 7:45 p.m. by the young people. Palm Sunday will be observed this Sunday. The pastor will preach at 11 a.m. on "What Is This." At 7:45 p.m. the pastor will preach his second sermon to the young people. "The Young Man With a Purpose." Passion Week will be observed next week with revival services every night. The pastor will preach every night as follows: Monday night, "Ezekiel's Vision of Dry Bones in the Valley," Tuesday night, "The Saved Family," Wednesday night, "Naaman the Leper," Thursday night, "The Prodigial Son," Friday night, "He Died for Me." These are all great messages. The Christian workers in all the churches of the city are cordially invited to take a part in the services. Come and bring your unconverted friends. Next week will also be observed as self-denial week. Every member of the church is urged to deny himself or herself in some way and to present the money thus saved to the church as an offering to apply on our annual May rally. The Wesley Brotherhood held special services at the Pullman mission last Sunday afternoon and also at Mason's Chapel in the evening. The pastor will preach at Mason Chapel at 3:30 p.m. this Sunday. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Rev. W. W. Smith, who always interests the men, will address the Y. M. C. A. Sunday, 3 p. m., on the "Great Reformation." Thirty-two oil paintings illustrating the lecture will be exhibited. The meeing is open to everybody. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH The services at this church on the past Sunday were very interesting and helpful and were very much enjoyed by the two congregations present. The pastor preached at the morning service on "Fear," and the sermon was very much enjoyed by the people. At the evening service the choir and Epworth League had charge and rendered a most excellent program. The address on "Leadership," delivered by Attorney W. O. Tyler, was a masterpiece and was earnestly listened to and faithfully received by the congregation. All the departments of the church are very busy preparing for Easter and from present indications the services on this day are going to be a record breaker. SECOND A. M. E. CHURCH The services last Sunday were well attended and a goodly interest manifested. The pastor preached both morning and evening at 3 p.m. Dr. J. Logan Craw baptized two young men. The service was highly spiritual and impressive. The congregation taxed the capacity of the church. In closing the service Dr. Craw called upon the stewards of the First church to lift an offering, which they did with splendid success, the people giving cheerfully. The same was presented to the pastor of the Second church and gratefully received. The "candy pull", at the parsonage Tuesday was a great success socially and financially, much credit is due the ladies of the "Helping Hand" for the splendid program. Next Sunday being the first in the month, two splendid services are arranged and the Lord's Supper will be served. Let us see you at "The Heart of a Hero" at the First, church Tuesday, April 3. CHRISTIAN CHURCH NEWS Last Sunday services were held as usual at this church, Bros. William and Hopper preaching during the day. The Endeavor services were unusually good, the topic being "The Saloon, the Foe of Society." Bro. Hopper also had charge of this, and Bros. Turnage and Ashcroft gave well timed talks. Mrs. Lees read an appropriate piece and Miss Lynch wrote a paper on the saloon as a foe and also a foe to all that is honest and good. The meeting was unusually good. ST. PAUL'S BAPTIST CHURCH The services, were well attended Sunday morning and evening. Rev. G. W. Hill preached able sermons and those present greatly enjoyed his messages. The members are expecting a preacher from the cast in the near future who will help St. Paul to move on and a good old time revival will be started in the near future. Among the sick of the church are Sister E. Payne of 1659 Compton Ave., and Sister Mitchell of 1425 Velvin Ave. Sister Mitchell has been ill for a long time and several members visited her Monday evening last and not only revived her spiritually, but likewise contributed to her needs. Parents are urged to send their children to Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. and B. Y. P. U. at 6:30 p.m. Bro. McMillen is president and an able young Christian. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor Sunday was an ideal day and served toward the enhancement of an ideal service at First church. The pastor preached both morning and evening. At the morning service there were nine accessions to membership, four of which were converts. After this the regular offering was taken and rusalem. Sunday is also the regular communion day and the pastor is expecting every member to be at his post. Quite a few of the members are on the sick list and we are earnestly praying and hoping that they will be out in a short while. The public has a standing invitation to all the services of this church. then Mesdames Barr and Thornton, representing the Day Nursery Association, received a cheerful offering for laudable work. The pastor then proceeded to baptize and obligate thirteen converts and received them into the full membership. It was a beautiful and impressive service. At 3 o'clock two more converts were baptized by immersion at Second church, giving a total of 15, who received this rite during the day. Equally as many more converts are yet to be baptized during the month of June. Everyone who attended services last Sunday are talking of the real benefits that came to them. You are welcome to our big communion day service Sunday coming. Be on time at each of these services. Our superb Metropolitan choir will appear this first Sunday in April again in their robes. New ones have been artistically made by Mother Tucker and Prof. Bynum and the augmented orchestra and choir will inspire the souls of every worshipper who frequents First A. M. E. church at each Sabbath service. It is both communion day and Palm Sunday. The pastor's themes are, "The Triumphal Entry," and "The Best Preparation."

CHICAGO, IL Pico and Paloma Sts. Last Sunday Zion was blessed with a message much out of the ordinary. The pastor was in splendid mood and every point in his sermon went to the mark will telling effect, as every member sat as if enraptured throughout the whole discourse. Among other things he said, "It were better for a man never to have given his heart to God than to give it to Him and then turn back." He spoke of such a person as being doomed to an awful fate. He assailed those walking around with a grouch and chips: on their shoulders and of the trouble makers, all of these people wanting to be considered Christians. "It was generally agreed that many would be searching their hearts this week and getting right with God and their fellow men. What Mother Zion is to the A. M. E. Zion connection in the east on the Atlantic seaboard this church will be along the Pacific Coast as is indicated by the strides it is making in these last few years. Every member is found at his or her post of duty prosecuting earnestly the tasks assigned them. The Trustees are planning shortly to build concrete steps at the Paloma street entrance to the church. The Pastor will preach Sunday morning, April 1, from the subject, "Who Is He?" At 8 p.m., "The Sympathizing Jesus." Good ventilation, well heated, splendid choir. Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. Visitors and strangers are cordially invited. Services are prompt and not extended. WARD CHAPEL A.M.E. CHURCH 1354 Channing Street Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor Our services Sunday were up to the standard, and we were pleased to greet many visitors. The members and friends enjoyed the presence of Sister Wm. Galloway so much, this being the first time she has been able to be out during our administration. The young people's organization launched a few evenings ago with the following officers elected to serve the first six months: President, Miss Esther Pettigrew; vice president, Miss Lillian Broughton; secretary, Miss Corrine Maddox; assistant secretary, Miss Lillian Bisco; treasurer and organist, Miss Sarah Dennis; assistant, Ellwood Rector; sargent at arms and librarian, James Hudson and Wm. Bisco. At the next regular meeting of the club, which will be known by the name of the T. C. A. H. W. club, they will have a public installation of officers. Mrs. Effie White, under whose direction the club was created, has been styled as mother matron of same. All are looking forward to Sunday the first as a great day. The pastor has prepared a special sermon for the morning hour, subject, "The Greatest Sight of All Ages." Luke 23:3. A 3 p. m. will be held our third quarterly meeting and according to the agreement of the Ministers' Alliance the churches will unite at this service, and one of the visiting ministers will deliver the sermon. All are welcome. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Third and Traction Pastor, Rev. F. H. Davis Great times at Zion. The service for Sunday morning was of the best. It was very impressive and also very inspiring. Sunday night Rev. Cooper preached a wonderful sermon, and the meetings are being very readily attended. Old fashioned revival meetings are being held every night in the week with the exception of Saturday night. Many souls have been saved in the last week. Come one! Come all! And hear the pastor of Mt. Zion. His sermon for Sunday morning is "It is worth while." Dare to be a Daniel, Dare to stand alone, Dare to have a purpose firm, And dare to make it known." This is the Daniel Band's motto. These children are striving for the best and not the worst. Come out and hear them Easter Sunday. Miss NEWHOME "I'll get it for my wife" NO OTHER LIKE IT.

Throughout the country the race have pledged themselves to go to war if it be necessary to save the honor of the nation. It is pleasant to note that every Afro-American is loyal to the Government. Nothing is to be gained by exaggeration. Let us be truthful when we give numbers who are dependable for any purpose. There is now a great peace movement on in Washington and throughout the nation, but does not mean a let-up on Preparedness. Mr. Vincent Gelcich, who will be the "big man" at the Woodman Campaign Headquarters is a real "live man," and the committee is to be congratulated. Read the California Eagle and be posted. All of its candidates are not only worthy men, but they are winners. We have to live after the election. The published list of the campaign committee of Mayor Woodman is a compliment to him. The list contains the names of the ablest men and women in this city. In the contest for mayor this is no time to swap horses while crossing the stream of material progress and a continued advancement of the affairs of this mighty metropolis. When Mayor Woodman's opponent was mayor of this city the population was barely 200,000; it is now between 500,000 and 600,000. Los Angeles is now a large city and it needs a big man for its chief executive, and that is the kind of a man Frederick Woodman is. Mr. Chas. Gordon of the U. C. is a son of our highly honored and respected H. B. Gordon of Riverside and we are pleased to chronicle the fact that he is making a high mark with his studies at that university as indicated by his progress in athletics. We note that Mr. McNulty of the Stanford University athletic squad refused to box Charles Gordon of the University of California on the alleged ground of Gordon's color. We expect if the truth was known it was not Gordon's color so much as the fear of the lacing he was sure to receive at Gordon's hands, for side-stepping the color line is really convenient to those small narrow and measley specimens of the McNulty type. THE MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR STEPHENS The pronouncement of Governor Wm. D. Stephens before the Legislature had the true ring of sincere patriotic thought and stamps his administration as a great success from the very beginning. There is in that message every indication that Governor Stephens is a statesman of a very high order and every way capable of safely carrying this State through the great crisis that now confronts the whole country. He pladges himself to necessary economies and a friend to every beneficent measure now in force in the State. In assuming the responsibilities of the office of Governor of the State he says most earnestly, "I do so in full accord with the great governmental and humanitarian doctrines that have been written into our laws during the last six years." He then proceeds to partially enumerate those politically progressive measures we now enjoy which give the electorate so much real voice in the government of California, thereby indicating very thoroughly that there shall be no reaction such as was expected in certain quarters. The great majority of the people of California hail with delight the first message of Governor Stephens to the people of the State through their representatives in the Forty-first Legislature. WHY FREDERIC T. WOODMAN SHOULD BE ELECTED MAYOR The reasons are many and sufficient why Mayor Woodman should be elected mayor of Los Angeles, but no reason is more sufficient than that in the short term he is now filling, HE HAS MADE GOOD. Mayor Woodman has done more than this, if it were possible, hindered with an unpopular number of councilmen, he has thus far made the best mayor this city has ever had in the memory of the great majority of its citizens, that too, at a period that has furnished innumerable difficulties, and not the least of them is the present high cost of living. In the short period Mayor Woodman has been in office he has gained a large THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE asset for the city at its harbor, he has placed in excellent shape the consolidation of the telephone services, he has advanced nearly to the point of consummation the light and power deal for more thorough service and economy in cost. He has perfected plans for a lowering of taxes, and has thrown his wonderful efficiency and energy behind a multitude of measures that in a two year term he will have worked out to perfection. The municipally controlled, if not owned, city markets have already worked havoc with high prices on several food necessities, notably fresh fish, butter, potatoes, eggs and a number of groceries, notably tea, beans, fruit and other staples. The city don't own these markets? What of that, Mr. Critic? The people are getting cheaper food-stuffs, and the grocer bulletin and other advocates of profits at the expense of the people are kicking because they see that the death knell to the high cost of living is cigned, in the event Mayor Woodman is elected to continue his good work. And,he will be elected, perhaps, in the primaries. Get into the "band-wagon," and go on record as having helped with your votte the continuation of our city on the road of progress. "BIRTH OF A NATION" WINS AGAINST WILL OF CITIZENS Editor Manning of the Indianapolis World and Editor Knok of the Indianapolis Freeman Appear in Interest of Film DAYTON, Ohio, March 23—Notwithstanding the fact that the best citizens of this city were against the "Birth of a Nation" being shown, the mayor consented to allow it to run. Members of the Race went to some expense putting their protests up in printed form, only to be called "black politicians," in editorials by the white press, who were playing for heavy advertisements. Last Wednesday morning a bomb was thrown into the camp of those against the film play when a hearing was granted in the rooms of the movie commission. Knox and Manning on the Scene Unannounced, unheralded, came, two members of the Race, Editor Knox of the Indianapolis Freeman and Editor Manning of the Indianapolis World, who were ushered into the room and sat with the "Birth of a Nation" people, who had come to fight any move on the part of the citizens to try to prohibit the showing of the play. Imagine the surprise of those men who had fought so hard to have the play barred, to find that two of their own race were playing the part of Judas. Knox stated that the "film was purely educational and in none of its parts reflected upon the Negro; that the film portrayed the devotion the Negroes had for their mastehs and the love of the black "mammies for young white soldiers." Manning acted as an asset by his silent influence. Of course the members of the Race lost the fight after two of their own had sided in with the film company. In view of their testimony and information the movie commission did not feel justified in passing an emergency ordinance.

But despite the treacherous actions of such spurious race defenders, the fight for justice and civil rights will be continued under the direction of such stalwart race journals as the Chicago Defender, the Cleveland Gazette and a score of other race journals which time and time again have been weighed in the balance and never found wanting. Verily the love of money is the root of all evil. Scrap Book Continued. commences to close. It requires detail and a great deal of system to handle this department of the hotel. There are between eight and nine hundred colored employees of the two hotels. Their physical condition is taken care of by Berkley C. Waller, a negro physician, and graduate of Howard University, Washington, D. C. There has never been a death since Waller has been in charge for the past fifteen years. This great hotel is practically five hotels. Has one general housekeeper, five assistants, and about 100 chambermaids. It has two assistant managers, Martin Sweeney, who looks after the accounting department, and H. M. Wing, who is in charge of social affairs. This great hotel entertains more world wide and national celebrities during the season than any other hostelry on earth. The Washington ball, given each year on February 22, is the greatest social event in the whole world. BILL ENDS TIPS FOR EMP POYERS Measure Intended to Stop Practice in Hotels and Cafes Is Introduced SACRAMENTO, March 22. The Lyon bill prohibiting employers from soliciting or receiving fees as a condition of giving employment was passed by the Senate today, 29 to 1, and sent to the Assembly. Ballard of Los Angeles cast the negative vote. Senator Lyon said his bill was aimed to stop the practice of persons owning tipping privileges in hotels and cafes, hiring men and women at small wages, and requiring them to turn in the money they receive in tips.

Verily the love of Company, 831 Marsh-Strong Bldg. On March 20th Mrs. Clara Franklin, of 1240 E. 9th St. brought suit against the American National Insurance Company, a Corporation, with its principal place of business at Gaveston, Texas. This company maintains an office in this city at 831 Marsh-Strong Building, and E. A. Rees is its division superintendent and has charge of its office and business here. The American National Insurance Company insured Robert Hubert, uncle to Mrs. Franklin, in April of 1915. Robert Hubert died September 23, 1916, and the benefit due under his policy has never been paid. This company has many hundreds of colored policy holders and from what Mrs. Franklin says it makes many excuses when the time comes for it to pay benefits to its colored policy holders. Wilis O. Tiller, attorney for suit will be prosecuted vigorously and the full facts published for the enlightenment of the many colored people who hold policies in this company. Mrs. Ella Colins and several other race folk, also complain against this company. THE POLITICAL TREND The big item in political circles at the capital this week was the appointment of J. C. McFarland of Los Angeles as executive secretary to the governor, he was a dark horse and not one of the talent even made a guess at this appointment. Some of the big dailies have been trying to start something with tax commissioner E. A. Dickson, but they could not get anywhere with it. Mr. Dixon is too experienced and knows the game too well to be picked up by the wise owls of the daily press of the northern metropolis. Senator Breed of Alameda, who also fills the office of lieutenant governor since Gov. Stephens has assumed the duties of governor, is filling these dual positions like a veteran and if he enters into the race for second place on the ticket next year there is no question but that he will draw a strong support from all classes. The Senator is a man who makes friends and his affable manner and his natural executive ability especially fit him for this most important position. As we mail this letter the much talked of Rominger bill which would put out of business the saloons has failed of passage by one vote, 20 to 19. ```markdown ``` Every Housewife or Mother is ever under that Nervous Strain which so often results in Headaches, Dizzy Sensations, Faintness, Depression and other Nervous Disorders.

Member COMMON COUNCIL THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Virgilio Bruschi, Sr., has made a clean, open fight for councilman and will be elected by a large majority. We have been with Mr. Bruschi since his announcement and will be the first to congratulate him after Tuesday. All together now and put Virgilio Bruschi, the man for all the people, in the city hall Tuesday. Hans Marquart will receive our support. Mr. Marquart has always been fair and square, and that's all we ask for. Vote for Hans Marquart is our last appeal. When people learn the difference between knocking and eulogizing San Diego will have a clean election. See that those that did not vote in the primaries vote April 3rd, for L. J. Wilde, the man for all the people. Fred A. Hulbrun has made a winning fight for the council and will receive a large vote from all classes. Mr. Hulbrun has a business record in San Diego to be proud of and we think he would make a good councillman for all concerned. He believes in harmony and efficiency, justice to all. P. J. Benbough is making a whirlwind finish and we are with him strong. Mr. Benbough should have our support, and we are going to give it to him. If any one has any past grievance, let's forget it and vote for P. J. Benbough. Whenever you hear a Marstin's man talk Marstin that means more votes for Wild. Voteds, you have this question staring you in the face Tuesday. I hope you will look and think before you cast your ballot. Mr. Wilde is a man that has made a success at everything he has attempted, rising from a newsboy to his present vocation. Marston's supporters, as you can see, are playing small, politics by trying to defame the character of a man like L. J. Wilde. Mr. Marston's hobby is boasting what he has done for San Diego. He is too clever to boast what San Diego did for him. It is true that Mr. Marston has been here over 30 years and if it is true that he has done so much for San Diego why didn't he build or help to build the American Nat. Bank? Why didn't he help complete the Grant Hotel? Did he ever give the city anything that would beautify or be admired by thousands? Still they say Marston is the logical candidate. Well, if he is, we can't see it that way. Good deeds that Mr. Wilde has done are too numerous to mention. Mr. Wilde does not believe in mud-slinging. Mr. Wilde indorsed Mr. Marston in 1915 because at that time he looked to be the best man in the field. But today it is different. Mr. Wilde is running for the office and will be elected despite the dirty work Marston's supporters are doing. My closing appeal is to give Wilde the largest majority ever given a candidate for mayor. Mrs. Rev. C. Williams is still very sick. Mrs. G. S. Belt and Mrs. J. E. Freeman are also on the sick list this week. Mrs. M. A. Hayden, superintendent of the Mt. Zion Sunday School, and Miss Annie Mulholland, president of the B. Y. P. U., were guests of Mrs. C. E. Norwood at lunch Monday noon. At 3 o'clock all of the children of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. met and received their recitations for the Easter program. The Rousseau family of musicians have moved to 3054 Greely avenue. Mr. Willie King, who has been working steady in Coronado for the past eight or nine months, took a two days vacation this week. Mrs. P. Hornsby and Mrs. A. Hornsby left Wednesday night to join their husbands in Elsinore. Mrs. Tom Brown met with an accident by running a needle through her finger. She is doing nicely. Mrs. Ade Zollcoffee is still confined to her bed with a sprained ankle. When the three bugles sound their trumpet in Tia Juana Sunday for the closing day of the meeting, if the Duke would break thousands would be caught in the jam, as it is predicted the largest crowd of the previous meetings will be out. Purses, sweepstakes, handicaps, hurdles, with second event of the Dark Town Derby, which created so much excitement some Sundays ago. Mr. Blaky Wiliams shipped his big blue car to Seattle, Wash., where he has previous business. CUPID COLUMN The Acme Social Club was at its glee last Thursday night when they met on the beautiful island that Robinson Crusoe and his man Friday would have lived forever, at the residence of Mr. Edward Thomason. Miss Hazel Scott seemed to have been the Easter butterfly, as she was the chosen sweets of the party. Master Gatheren Perry, who was absent, has failed to make good in his studies and has been talking to himself ever since. Mr. Leon Robinson, the heart breaker of the young smart set, is now heartbroken, since Mr. Wm. Collins, Jr., has merged into society. Mr. Ira Scott prefers walking, but the ice had melted on the bay. Mr. Jess Aldrige motored down from Los Angeles. Mr. Willie Gibbs, who has been employed at the U. S. Grant Hotel for several months, left for Elsinore on his vacation on account of ill health. Mr. Hardwick is holding his position during his absence. Miss Ashby and Mrs. Hamilton were among the theatre party at the Savoy Theatre last week. Rev. Robinson, usher in Union station, has moved to their new residence, 1352 State street. Mrs. Sarah Austin of Los Angeles, mother of Mrs. M. T. Laws received the sad news that the home of her mother in Oklahoma was destroyed by fire. Mrs. Watson of Los Angeles has returned home after spending several days in this city. has been no measure up of special note; but all are on the tiptoe of expectancy for the special order of business in the Senate on Wednesday when the much heralded Rominger Bill comes up for passage on the floor of the Senate. Then the big oratorical effects will be staged to a capacity house, there seems to be no question but what this bill will pass in the Senate. Among other bills which are scheduled to appear in the immediate future, is the Workingmen's Compensation Act, the Sunday Closing Bill, etc. LEGISLATIVE NOTES Senator H. H. Lyons returned after a brief visit to his home at Los Angeles only to learn that his brand new Chevrolet automobile had been stolen the preceding day. It had been in use by Mrs. Lyons and was purloined from the grounds of the State Capitol. Assemblyman Peter Phillips returned Tuesday from Los Angeles where he had been looking after his political fences in the councilmanic race. He told the Eagle man that everything looked good. We want to say that Mr. Phillips is a tireless worker and is deserving of a hearty support for the position which he seeks at the hand of the voters of Los Angeles. Assemblyman C. W. Lyons is really one of the leading forces of the Assembly and it falls his lot to champion many of the most prominent measures which he does in a masterly manner. He is a high credit to his district and represents the same to the utmost. Assemblyman F. H. Mouser is as busy as a bee and by tireless work and unremitting hustling succeeds in keeping his measures to the front. He sponsored the Help Bill, which occasioned quite a bit of acrimony in debate and with amendments will eventually pass. Assemblyman C. W. Watson takes quite an active part in the consideration of the measures before the Assembly. He is a strong proponent of the Sunday closing law and will play an important part in the presentation of the same. Floor Leader F.

John Urquhart before the house which he thinks worth while. He has his eyes open at all times on "what's going on," and is a power in the assembly. Assemblyman Gilder of Berkeley is the premier orator of the assembly, but on most of the legislation for which he spell binds he gets an adverse vote, so his oratory it seems is futile. But his one best bet went through with flying colors, viz: the measure which puts a quietus on the mushroom newspapers and the grafters in political campaigns and that certainly helps some. Assemblyman Wishard's Eugenic marriage measure is having hard sledding. It provides one to enter the holy state of matrimony must submit to a physical examination, it seems to be alright as to the men, but they balk when it comes to medical and physical examination for the females. From The ScrapBook BY J.D.Reynolds By Joe Earman in The Palm Beach Post Some interesting facts about this great hotel: One of the state's largest assets. The pride of Palm Beach county. It covers five acres of ground, and if stretched out would cover ten New York city blocks ten stories high. It has 1200 employees. Watchmen pass every point every fifteen minutes in the daytime ```markdown ``` and every six minutes at night. They are never out of sight of each other. It has an electric power plant equal to one for a city of 10,000 inhabitants. Has its own ice and refrigerating plant with cold storage that is used throughout the hotel. Ten tons of ice are chopped up every day for drinking water, etc. Has its own incinerating plant in which 200 cans of swill are burned daily and all other rubbish. Used sixty tons of sugar in two and one-half months, and will be compelled to buy more before the season finishes. The steward's department is under the management of Mr. Stephen C. Meigher, a young man thirty-five years old, who feeds from 2300 to 2600 people three times a day. The daily consumption in this hostelry is eight barrels of flour, thirty boxes of oranges and grapefruit twenty crates containing 7200 eggs, a hudnred and fifty pounds of coffee, four hundred bottles of Bedford and Poland water. Four thousand pounds of spring chickens used for one meal, 1700 squabs used for dinner alone. One hundred and fifty cooks and that many more scullions and roustabouts in the kitchen. Has its own bake shop and ice cream plant. Five hundred gallons of maple syrup used for griddle cakes alone during season. Ten bags first class mail received daily, and has it own postoffice. Discipline of this great hotel is strictly enforced, and it is ruled with a rod of iron in all departments. It is managed by one man, Henry Ellsworth Bemis, a master of detail. He is an early riser, and is on the job continually during season. His desk is always clear. He personally handles all complaints, and this is explained by stating that they are few. He knows the cost of every meal two hours after being served. The dining room is under the management of Head Waiter Joseph McLane, with thirty-two assistants and 500 waiters. McLane is an organizer of ability. To bring this immense number of waiters is necessary to recruit them from all over the United States. They are brought here as needed and let out as the season CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING This Column for Bargains NOTICE The Get Acquainted Literary Club does not meet on the 1st Sunday afternoon, but instead holds a business meeting on the 1st Tuesday evening of each month.

Robert Lincoln Anderson City Councilman SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES The Lord wonderfully blessed the congregation on last Sabbath at all services. The sunrise prayer meeting brought out a goodly number of earnest seekers after God. The Sunday School entered into the review of the last quarter lesson and the least scholar showed a wonderful grasp on the life and teachings of Jesus. The church was filled at 11 o'clock a.m. and greatly enjoyed the message of Pastor Kinchen on "God's Fortune Tellers." There has been many a day since there was such a wonderful outpouring of the Spirit as was witnessed in the Bible Study class conducted by Sister Wilson at 6:30. The Epworth League had one of its best services last Sunday. Brother John Bragg was leader. A congregation equally as large as that in the morning was out for the evening service to hear Pastor Kinchen on "Lessons from Nature." Next Sunday will be a great day. Holy Communion will be administered at both services and Pastor Kinchen will preach both morning and evening. More and more Scott Chapel is coming into its own as one of the churches of the community and led by the pastor she is seeking to be of genuine service not only to the people of the congregation, but to all the people in the city, the earnest prayer of both pastor and people, and this church shall be looked upon as God's station for salvation.

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 himref. 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.

TO THE BLIND F 4 April I—John’9:1-38. | ee : “I am the light of the World.” ; “Verde 5. * The light shone among them to reprove the evil and to en- courage the .good for another six months, up to the time o' our Lord’s chucifixion; but He left behind Him some who were receptive to the influence of the light, His Spirit, and who were illuminated by the . Pentecostal blessing. To these He said: “Ye are the light of the world.” “Let your light so shine before men that, seing your good works-they may glorify your Father in Heaven,”"—Matt. 5:14, 16. Thus, as St. John declares, “as He is, so are we in this world”—lights shining in the darkness, appreci- ated not, comprehended not, un: derstood not, repulsed by the great mass, even by those whe claim to be the people of God, but whose hearts are not in sympathy with the light as to permit them to receive the ier mination of the Holy Spitit. For be it noted tha © is quite a marked distinction between hav- img the Holy Spirit and being so illuminated by it as to let our light shine and, on the other hand, being of those upon whom such illumination shines. Our Lord ict His Hip shin€ upon many. But no ofe has the light within him unless he has been begotten of the Holy Spirit— Heb. 10:32. Lessons for Ourselves In the various features of this incident, we today find a lesson along higher lines. Some of _us were born blind—blind to the Lord and His true character— blind: to the truth of His Word. The blindness upon us-was nei- their our fault nor the fauit of our parents; for they as well as purselves, were honest-hearted ;oward the Lerd. Our blindness therefore, was not a chastise- ment for sins. The darkness, the blindenss, which has so long sverspread Christendom entrap- ped us as well as others.” But the Lord had mercy upon us. He pased our way, and made eye- salve for us. He took the clay of human agency and mixed it with His Word, the fruit of His ips. With that combination He gave us the angjnting of the “yes of ou understanding, and bade us wash in ithe water of His Word of truth‘and grace. We followed His, instructions, and now we can see. A’ new world has opened before _us. ‘Wonderful things in the Bible we see!” The Scribes and Phar- sees of our day wonder, criti- size, and try to acount for the blessing which has come to us. Of course they find fault with every agency which the Lord has used in connection with our blessing ; for their hearts are not in the right attitude to appre- ciate the favor of God. It is now for us to take a stand simi- lar to that which the blind man took—to confess the truth, con- fess the light, confess the mir- acle which the Lord has wrought upon the eyes sof our under- hearts. The Sabbath and Its Antitype A further lesson to be drawn from this incident is that the blind man received his. sight on he Sabbath day. Jesus did many of His miracles on the Sabbath jay, partly no doubt to empha- size the fact that the anti-typical Sabbath, the thousand-year day, rhe seventh thousand-year day of man’s history» will, be the time of His kingdom. It is when we come to understand hat ‘the miracles of aoe pic- ured forthcoming: blessings dur- ng His Messianic Kingdom that we get the proper view-of mat- ers, and may rejoice according- ly that a good, glad day is com- ing for all the blind,, all the lame, all the deaf, as, indicated by Isaiah’s prophecy. (Isa. 35: 5, 6). During that time all the blind eyes will be: open to the zoodness, to the greatness, the love, the power ‘of God. Thus the ‘world will come to. know — Mark G. Bunce ‘Candidate for City Council ‘A SQUARE DEAL FOR ALL a ; pet ag eS} 4 i i z ; : First—I think membership in in the CITY COUNCIL a place of honor and trust and if elected, Ishall'try to treat all classes just- ly so that at the end of my term I shall feel that I have worthy of the ho} red upon me. Second: consider that the smallest’ wage earner pays his sl of taxes, either directly or indirectly, and his interests should be protected just as carefuliy as those of the more wealthy or influential. Third—I mean to look upon all matters with fairness and equity toward all classes, with the best interests of LOS ANGELES al- ways in view. Fourth—Laws that are bene- ficial to the public in. general should be enforced without fear er favor, and those laws that are not forthe public welfare should be changed to meet present con- ditions. . Fifth—Any new radical laws should have the fullest consider- ation, and the advice of able and competent men who have been accustomed to handling large affairs. Sixth—Licensee should not be placed so high as to breed dis- honesty or crime and any busi- ness for which the payment of a license’ is required should have the full protection of the govern- ment under which it- operates, within its legal rights. . Seventh—I do not bélieve in so burdening the city. with indebt- edness, causing excessive in- crease in taxation, as to discour- age new-comers to invest their money in homes here, or discour- age wage earners in their ambit- ion to own their own homes. Eighth—I believe in municipal ownership in all instances . based on thorough business principles, where the benefit and profit to the public are assured. MARK G. BUNCE. MONROVIA, CAL.
