The Negroes of the United States should wage a bloodless war for their rights at this crucial period of the country's history, was the opinion expressed from the pulpit by the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssian Baptist Church, at Sunday's services. The speaker referred to the demands made by the 400,000 railroad workers, who threatened to walk out at a time when America needed every car and the services of every railroad man; of the fight of the Irish for home rule during the present European conflict, and of the overthrow of the Romanoff dynasty in Russia by the common people. Dr. Powell's views follow: "In my opinion, this is the proper time for us to make a special request for our constitutional rights as American citizens. The ten million Colored people of this country were never so badly needed as now. They are not only needed in the factories, business firms, and on the farms, to produce the necessities of life, but they are needed to help keep the Mexicans quiet, to help sweep the commerce destroying submarines of the Central Powers from the oceans, to help crush German militarism, and perhaps they will be needed sooner than some people expect to prevent the Japanese from landing on these shores to ask for a redress of their grievances which have been piling up for the past few years. "As a Race we ought to let our government know that if it wants us to fight foreign powers we must be given some assurance first of better treatment at home. Perhaps some will say that this is an inopportune time for such talk. Some may argue that to demand our rights now, when the nation is perhaps facing the greatest crisis in its history, would show a lack of loyalty and patriotism. Those who make such arguments are not acquainted with the rise and development of Races. All history will prove that most oppressed people have secured their rights when their oppressors were facing a crisis. The Irish people thoroughly understand this philosophy of history and they are now making a supreme effort for home rule. This effort is being made at a time, too, when the English government needs all of its men and all of its resources to fight enemies on land and sea; and everything indicates that the Irish are going to get the independence for which they have been seeking for years, because they know how to seek at the proper time. "Four hundred thousand railroad employees secured eight hours work with ten hours pay the other day because they threatened to walk out on a day when America needed every single car and every railroad man in the country. At a normal time the American people would not have yielded so readily to their just demand. "For centuries the common people of Russia have been depressed and crushed by plutocracy and absolutism. In vain they have attempted to secure their liberties in times of peace, but a few days ago when surrounded by foreign foes these people rose up en masse and accomplished the complete overthrow of the colossal rotten superstructure of the Romanoff dynasty, and in twenty-four hours succeeded in abolishing all racial, social and religious distinctions. The new government has already assured the entire Russian people of their political freedom and equality before the law. Government Has Stood by With "Why should not the colored Americans make a bloodless demand at this crucial time for the rights we have been making futile efforts to secure for the past fifty years, instead of hurrying telegrams and special deliveries to Washington assuring the government that has persistently stood by with folded arms while we were oppressed and murdered that the ten million Negroes may be used as targets for German bullets and shells? "It would not cost the President, governors and representatives a single cent to ask, in their speeches and messages, the American people to abolish 'Jim-Crowism, segregation, and the awful lynching institution, and give to colored men political equality; but it would mean a new birth of freedom for ten million people who have always stood ready to give their life's blood to perpetuate American institutions. "In spite of all that the big Negroes are saying to the contrary, this is the psychological moment to say to the American white government from every pulpit and platform and through every newspaper, 'Yes, we are loyal and patriotic. Boston Commons, Bunker Hill, Gettyburg, Fort Pillar, Appomattox, San Juan Hill and Carrizal, will testify to our loyalty. While we love our flag and country, we do not believe in fighting for the protection of commerce on the high seas until the powers that be give us at least some verbal assurance that the property and lives of the members of our race are going to be protected on land from Maine to Mississippi.' Let us have the courage to saye to the white American people, 'Give us the same rights which you enjoy, and then we will fight by your side with all of our might for every international right on land and sea.' "If this kind of talk is not loyalty, then I am disloyal; if this is not patriotism, then I am unpatriotic; if this is treason, then I am a traitor. It is not that I love Caesar less but these black Romans more, who have been true to the flag for two hundred and fifty years. It is infinitely more disgraceful and outrageous to hang and burn colored men, boys and women without a trial in the days of peace than it is for Germans in time of war to blow up ships loaded with mules and molasses." AT MISS LILIAS G. HART'S STUDIO Last Monday morning while on my business round I chanced to drop in Miss Hart's Studio at 1129 E. 12th St. I had but put one foot on the step when I heard a sound that was so voluptuous that I was struck by two impulses, one to stand still, and the other to rush in, but scarcely before I had time to accept the one and reject the other did the tone subside into an appealing sweetness that caught me with awe; however I crept gently to the door, and even more gently touched the bell; as by magic a smiling face appeared at the door and bade me enter. So filled was my soul with rapture that I could scarcely speak, but after two or three long breaths I managed to ask Miss Hart, "Who was the singer?" She did not answer but pointed to a sweet faced maiden who stood by her side and smilingly repeated, "This is my pupil, 15 year old Edna Heard of Santa Monica." Well, all I have to say is that Miss Heard has within her the making of a rare genius and she has a most competent teacher. Easter comes at this season of the year when the earth is carpeted in its brightest and most beautiful shade of green and when the violet, pansy, daisy and forget-me not rival each other with their beauty and fragrance, but Easter is not symbolic alone of these but marks the day or historical period that our Lord rose out of His grave defying death, hell and the grave, and ascended into heaven. What a beautiful impression the significance of this picture would make upon our future lives if we could upon this very day, realize why Christ was and is, as did Mary and the other women, who wended their way to the tomb on that first Easter day, and because of the Christ already in their lives were able to believe instantaneously as it was revealed in their own words when they said tearfully, "Our Lord is not here but risen and gone." A Wrong Conception As the pages of history grow dingy with passing years and generations come and go, invention and discovery increase the wealth of the world, men's minds are reverted more and more away from godly to worldly things. Tomorrow morning when the sun creeps out from the horizon, makes its stately bow to the glittering shores of the deep blue ocean, and dazzling mountain peaks—how many family altars will tender praise and thanksgiving to the Maker of Earth and the Ruler of Heaven? It is right and proper that, we should bedeck our persons with beautiful garments and cast flowers about the altar, but not only should the house be beautiful, but likewise the soul that abides therein. As the poet puts it, keep the house where God must dwell beautiful entire and clean," hence if our bodies upon this Easter day are bedecked in order that we may receive the praise of men, and not as a sign or token of our appreciation for God's goodness in sparing us to see this another Easter day, we are seeking the praise of men and not the blessings of God. ORDER OF EASTERN STAR HOLD ANNUAL SERVICES The Independent Church of Christ, where the service was held, was crowded, and everyone that was there benefited greatly. Dr., H. D. Prowd, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, was chosen by the Order to preach its annual sermon, and took his text from Romans 8:37, "More than conquerors." He chose for his headings, "The Significance of the Star," "Obedience," "Faithfulness," and "Loyalty." Under these heads this most eloquent scholar brought home to the hearts of those present what the Order should represent. The other numbers, rendered by members of the Order, were timely, and very much appreciated by the audience. "THE HEART OF A HERO" "The Heart of a Hero," the title of the drama staged by the A. B. O. U. T. Club under the direction of Mrs. Lillian J. Craw last Tuesday evening was unanimously voted by the overflow audience at First A. M. E. Church as being one of the most brilliant affairs of the season. The amateur artists under the direction of Mrs. Craw demonstrated excellent natural ability in the "Heart of a Hero," which was a clean but snappy love drama THE ANGELUS THEATRE Central Ave. is, if not the busiest, one of the busiest thoroughfares in Los Angeles where a goodly number of our people reside either as representatives of the best citizenship or as controllers, owners, and managers of some of the most alive businesses. When the duties of a strenuous day are ended even the most austere business man appreciates a little recreation, in other words, he is willing to adhere to the little saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Some years ago in order to save these people on this end of Central Ave. time and money, the Angelus Theater was established, a suitably located, well ventilated picture house where the cleanest and best pictures are shown was established. For three years the Angelus ran on giving satisfaction to the fullest extent until some months ago when it closed down for repairs. Now, again the Angelus throws open its doors and promises to serve an even greater purpose, and it will be to the advantage of those of us living on this end of Central Ave. to assist the efficient and genial manager, Mr. James Webb, in making the Angelus one of the very best moving picture houses in the city where our young and old may spend a pleasant evening in the very cleanest possible atmosphere. THE KATHERINE J. BARR EMPLOYMENT AGENCY A Brand New Enterprise Opens Its Doors Colored Los Angeles, ever awake to its interest and the needs of the times, launches another enterprise to meet the demands of the incoming hordes caused by the exodus of our people from the Southland. The people are coming in singles, coming in doubles, and coming in droves. Yes, they are coming. They are workers. They are poor. They must have work to live. It is to the credit of Black Los Angeles that it has such an agency as the one J. W. Coleman conducts, to guide and assist in placing our wage earners. It is to the credit of Black Los Angeles, also, that another agency under the management of Mrs. Katherine J. Barr, who opens up offices at 262-263 Wilson Block, 102 S. Bpring St, to assist in his large and commendable work. Perhaps some might say that The J. W. Coleman Agency can amply take care of the work situation as far as the colored people are concerned. As enterprising and as efficient as Mr. Coleman has shown himself to be as an agent for labor, as large as hi selinetele is, and as many as he reaches, it is felt that there are enough that he does not reach or could possibly satisfy who could well support the Barn Agency and possibly even a third like enterprise. This contention is supported by the fact that the Japanese, with a city population of 7000, have 28 of such agencies. Our boast is that the Negro population runs from 15,000 to 35,000 souls. (U. S. 1910 census under 8000.) The 7000 Japanese support 28 agencies, we ought to support two such places. Mrs. Barr is the best known of her company, and of her particularly will we discuss. She has been a resident of this city for 19 years, coming here from Chicago with her husband, Dr. E. E. Barr, who was in quest of his health. He sought in vain, as his life terminated after a short residence in our city. Mrs. Barr being a graduate nurse, she took up nursing for a livelihood and made a splendid success, at the same time rearing an only son (Elmer) and caring for an aged mother. She is favorably and widely known in church, social, and social welfare work. Her large following of friends in both races peculiarly fits her as an intermediary—a spokesman for those who hire and those who desire to be toilers. Success is predicted for her and her company. Pleading for a broad, fair and efficient city government and seeking to restore the confidence of the people in the management of public affairs, Thomas W. Roulo, 722 East Adams Street, well known pioneer of Los Angeles, has entered the race for the City Council, and his many friends predict for him a heavy vote at the May primaries. FOR CITY COUNCIL LOS ANGELES IN NEED OF LOS ANGELES IN NEED OF A FIRST CLASS HOTEL The building formerly known as the Booker T. Washington hotel, has changed its name and management. It is now known as the "Lee and Henry Hotel" and under the efficient management of the Allen brothers promises to be the leading hotel of the Pacific Coast. Los Angeles is in need of such an enterprise and it is believed that these young men who have enjoyed the widest possible experience in this particular line will be able to maintain a large up-to-date cospomolitan hotel in this section, one that will contain all the modern equipment needed to make a first class hotel. Los Angeles is growing and it is predicted that she will soon take fifth place in the United States. In their effort to establish a first class hotel in Los Angeles, one that will take foremost place in this country and section, it is believed that these young men will have the unstinted support of all the people not only in Los Angeles, but likewise in the State of California, and traveling public. It has always been and always will be the Eagle's object to encourage such movements, especially by young men of the race. San Francisco, Cal. March 27, 1917. I have just written Captain Crumbly offering to raise four companies in Northern California here to muster into the proposed regiment which you and Captain Crumbly are in the act of forming. I have also suggested to Captain Crumbly that he secure the consent of the governor to enroll names for this proposed regiment so that we can be in better shape to muster them in should action be required. I would like very much to have you come to the northern part of the State and deliver a series of addresses. I think I could arrange a satisfactory itinerary for you in case you decide to come. Hoping that you are well, I beg to remain, Yours in patriotism, OSCAR HUDSON. Mr. J. L. Baker is a friend of the colored constituency, and should receive their support in the coming election. During this particular crisis through which the country is passing, prudence suggests that the motives of each and every citizen be actuated by a spirit of patriotism rather than passion. The demands of the hour are for men, not whining and complaining, selfish individuals whose scope of vision does not extend beyond the limits of their own conception of issues and doctrines but broad minded, big hearted, brave men who are willing to spend and be spent for the common good of all. The colored men are to be commended in their effort to encourage men of the race to enlist to help uphold the honor and dignity of the nation. In response to the appeal which appeared exclusively in the California Eagle, Attorney Hudson has taken the initiative to have the race properly represented in the northern part of the State, for which action he should receive the hearty commendation of all. A Man of the People for the Peo- Few men in this city are better known than Mr. Roulo. Much interest is being manifested in the outcome of his campaign. Already a strong committee of prominent people from different parts of the city has been formed to wage an enthusiastic effort in his behalf. Headquarters are being opened in different sections of the city and an aggressive speaking program will be pursued in an effort to reach the voters with his message. Mr. Roulo says he is in favor of the principle of District Representation in the City Council and proposes a fair and honest administration of equal justice to every citizen of whatever condition or race. He is in favor of taxing the entire city to pay for public improvements that are a benefit to the city as a whole, instead of placing the burden upon the property owners in any immediate vicinity. He believes in the conservation and beautifying of Los Angeles' natural facilities and public institutions. The reduction of the burden of taxation by the lessening of bond issues and sane business management. He favors all logical measures for the upbuilding of the social, moral and economic welfare of the people. He is a friend of all the people and his record for many years past is a sufficient guarantee of his favorable attitude towards the laboring class. He has always been the friend of labor, and in the payment of wages has generally exceeded even the prevailing scale. He is opposed to child-labor and favors the establishment of a minimum wage and hours for women. One of the biggest sensations among the Colored people of Los Angeles was caused on Thursday when Miss Carrie Davis, well known to many of the older Los Angeles folk and of one of the finest Colored families in Los Angeles, filed suit for slander against W. G. Finch, a wealthy white real estate dealer, for $5,000 plus the costs of suit. According to the complaint, which was filed by Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth, Finch wrongfully accused the plaintiff, Miss Davis, of running a disorderly house. This is the first time in the history of the Race when a Colored woman wrongfully accused, has had the nerve to fire back at her accusers. The outcome of the case is awaited with keen interest among the Colored citizens of Los Angeles and vicinity. What the Churches are Doing PAGE·TWO Sunday was a high day at this church. Being the first Sunday in the month it was Communion day and the membership was out in large numbers. Palm Sunday was also observed and the pastor preached a special sermon on the "Triumphal Entry" to the congregation. There were two conversions at this service. The evening service was also highly spiritual and several came forward for the prayers of the church. There will be three services at this church on the coming Sabbath, and we are expecting to have the banner day of the year so far. There will be preaching at the morning service by the pastor. At three o'clock the children of the Sunday School will render their program and at night there will be a sacred concert rendered by the choir. All departments of the church are alive and the church seems to have taken on new life along all lines. Come and worship with us. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma Sts. Rev. B. C. Robeson, A. B., S. T. B., Pastor After the biggest rally and the most successful revival ever held within the walls of "Zion," the grand old church has settled down to normal and the routine of the work has been picked up where it was dropped. The choir has been "habilitated," now we have engaged Prof. Bynum of the First A. M. E. to train this splendid aggregation. Prof. Wheaton retires because of impaired health. Now it will be going "bigger" than ever. Father Mucker was out to sacrament Sunday. He officiated and partook of the same. Many of his old friends and admirers were delighted to have him with us again after his prolonged illness. The pastor continues to impart the necessary information to sinners and backsliders. Last Sunday among our ever increasing number of worshipers were a group of white people visitors. They stayed throughout service. Our pastor's fame is reaching all classes and people. Sunday he will address on "The Empty Tomb" at 11 a.m. services, and at 8 p.m. Easter exercises by the Sunday School. Good ventilation. Free pews. Visitors and strangers are especially welcome.

Price, Pastor Sunday was truly a glorious day for Ward, every service carried with it a large degree of interest and spiritual helpfulness. In the afternoon at our third quarterly meeting, at which the Rev. Dr. J. Logan Craw acted as presiding elder in the absence of Rev. Dr. Wilson, Dr. Craw and his good people came in goodly numbers and met the Rev. Dr. E. R. Johnson and many of his congregation of the Second church and other visitors. All are looking forward to Easter as another day of refreshing. A splendid program is being arranged by the officers of the Sunday school, a part of which will be rendered at the morning hour. Other numbers will be carried over to the evening service. The pastor will speak at both services. Sister S. E. Mann has been on the sick list for several days, but is somewhat improved. Sister Galloway is much improved. We are pleased to state in connection with our services Sunday we had one accession in the morning. The Etude Choral Club with a membership of 42 is rehearsing the first and third Tuesday nights for a musical on or about May 31st. The roll is still open for new members until 50 is reached. GREAT MEETING AT ST PAUL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. R. N. Holt of Tulsa, Oklahoma has arrived and St. Paul is on 'fire' Dr. Halt is preaching each evening to an appreciative audience. Dr. Holt comes to us highly recommended. Not only is he a preacher of rare ability, but a pedagogue of rare attainments. Los Angeles will do well to hear him at the St. Paul Baptist Church 545 E. 23rd St. Next Sunday, Easter, is promised to be a high day at the Saints Home Church. A feature program is arranged for the occasion. The Sunday school and Y. P. W. W. will entertain ed to attend who will not be in attendance at their own churches. All the people afternoon and evening. The pastor will deliver his Easter sermon at 11:30 a.m. You will do well to hear him.

Hinds of New York City well known lecturer and author, will read and speak. Miss Hinds captivated the members of Ebbell Club recently and is highly spoken of by the great dailies of America and Canada. This meeting will be open to all, as we are anxious for the women of the city to have the opportunity to hear her. Palm Sunday at the People's Independent Church of Christ was indeed a glorious day. The pastor's theme both morning and evening was "Knowing Jesus." Text from the 12th chapter of St. oJhn. He saying in part: The people of the church must know Jesus to be able to introduce him to the sinners who come seeking him. As Jesus entered Jerusalem he was greeted with song. The Greeks hearing of him came hither seeking him, saying, "We would see Jesus. We have heard of his great works, but we would now see him and know him for ourselves." So comes the sinner to the Christian or to the house of God, which should be in close companionship with Christ as the introducer must know the one introduced. In the afternoon the sermon of the Eastern Star was preached by Rev. H. D. Prowd, pastor of the Second Baptist church. This was a masterly sermon and eloquently delivered. On Easter Sunday the children's Easter program will be at 11 o'clock The sermon of the Knights Templar will be preached by Rev. Greggs, pastor, in the afternoon. All are invited to come and spend the day with us, as dinner will be served in the basement during the afternoon. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian Rev. A. P.

We hope all our members are observing self-denial week this week and will report the funds thus saved at one of the services Sunday. Do not forget our soul rally Easter. Work earnestly to persuade some sinner to accept Christ or some person who has not joined the church to unite with the church. Win one for Jesus. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Towne Ave. Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor Last Sunday's services were very large and thoroughly edifying. All in attendance were presented palm crosses. The pastor delivered the two sermons and there was one accession to the membership. Our vested choir presented an unusually inspiring appearance and sang to the perfect delight of both our large congregations. The musical and literary program by the Endeavor Society was one of the best ever heard and every participant is deserving of special praise. Easter services will be observed with three great big meetings Sunday. Processional by our vested choir promptly at 11 o'clock. Miss Edna Heard of Santa Monica, and a pupil of Miss Lilias Hart, will sing at this time. The pastor will deliver the Easter sermon. The Easter rally will then ensue.

Woodson, of Buxton, Iowa, a loyal Congregationalist, was introduced and he gave some inspiring and encouraging words in the opening service. The pastor was at his best and brought a practical message on the Triumphal Entry, taking as his text: "The Lord hath need of them," Matt. 21:3. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness," was the text of the pastor at the evening service. The Lord's Supper was celebrated at the morning and evening services. One accession to membership was made. The special meetings which have been in progress the past week promises to be of unusual interest tonight when Dr. H. D.

SACRED CONCERTS AT A. M. E. CHURCH SUNDAY Choir and Sunday School at the A. M. E. church are striving to make this Easter's services the best as they are the last in the five years' pastorate of Rev. Dyett. The Sunday School will meet at 10 o'clock and at the regular morning service hour eleven o'clock, will present the Easter story in recitation and song. Parents especially are invited to this service. The Young People's meeting will be led by Rev. Bussie at 6:30. The choir at 7:30 will present a sacred concert for which they have been preparing for weeks. This will be the last big concert by the choir under the direction of Mrs. Dyett and will well repay the big crowd of members and friends expected at the church Sunday night. The Steward's rally last Sunday was a splendid success, following as it did upon the heels of the recent building fund rally. The pastor at morning service, Rev. B. C. Robeson in a splendid afternoon sermon and Rev. J. W. Price at night preached to large audiences. Rev Kinchen and Rev. Fleming also Rev. and Mrs. Judkins of Duarte and their congregations united with the church in the afternoon service. A total of $119.08 was raised by the class leaders as follows: Class No. 1, Wm.

The rally proved a testimonial of esteem on the part of the congregation for a devoted and efficient pastor. Rev Dyett expressed deep appreciation for the loyalty and kindness and untiring efforts of the members. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH, PASADNA Services at the Metropolitan Baptist church Sunday were a source of inspiration all day. The pastor preached at the morning service. One addition to the church at this service. At the Sunday School hour a Brotherhood class was organized with an enrollment of 12. The pastor announced that at the June rally he would through his influence raise a dollar for every dollar that would be raised by the church, provided that the church raised $500.00 or more. In the afternoon the O. E. S. of Pasadena held their annual Palm Sunday services at the church, the sermon NEWHOME "I'll get it for my wife" NO OTHER LIKE IT. NO OTHER AS GOOD.

Woodyard was hostess at an afternoon tea last Thursday afternoon complimentary to Mine M. Busby, who has been elected delegate to the Ancient Order of Foresters to be held at Oakland in the month of May. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis C. Dials was thrown open to their friends, last Monday, 26th ult. when they entertained in honor of their 20th anniversary. It was indeed a scene of beauty and a welcome to all. Never before has such encouraging words been given in the home. The matrimonial paper by Mrs. Pearl Johnson was indeed a treat to all who heard it, and the response by Rev. N. P. Greggs was fitted for the occasion and was indeed commendable. The sweet music by Misses Pearl, Nadine and Wilma Bratton was unsurpassed and much praise was given them for their excellent talent. The fruit game was enjoyed by all. The prize was won by Mrs. Edward Brown after which punch, chicken salad, sandwiches, coffee, vanilla and strawberry ice cream was served in orange, chocolate and caramel cakes. Quotations were in order. Many beautiful gowns were worn by the ladies which added to the beauty of this cozy home. Many beautiful pieces of hand-painted china were received with great pleasure' several being from friends who could not be present. After congratulating the ceyuple on their long and happy married life and wishing to live to celebrate another, the guests departed, acknowledging an evening well spent. WHITE SOX ENTERTAINED AT ELABORATE BAN- QUET ...Last Thursday evening at the Cadillac Cafe where walls and ceiling were beautifully decorated and where a table was laden with good things of the season that satisfy the inner man, 20 persons, members of the famous White Sox Baseball Team sat down to a service that was for a king. The management of the cafe spared no pains in the matter of decoration and service in making this a splendid affair. $ ^{6} $ The White Sox has won national fame as one of the leading teams of this country. The Memorial Season Approaching. On Tuesday, April 5th, after 6 p.m., the beginning of the 14th day of Nissan, according to the Jewish calculation, God's truly consecrated children who are following in the Master's footsteps and fully desirous of doing His will in the light of present truth, will celebrate the Memorial Supper. This season is especially sacred to Christians, because it commemorates the death of our Lord Jesus, and forcefully brings to mind that we are to die with Him as a part of His sacrificial Body—the Church Eph. 1:22-23. It was on the 14th day of Nisna that the Master instituted the Memorial Supper. According to Jewish time, each day began at 6 p. m. It happens that on this year, Thursday April 5th. 6 p. m. is the beginning of the day which marks the anniversary of that important event. The days of the week just preceding the institution of the Memorial Supper, recorded events of great importance, culminating on the 14th day of Nisan with the greatest event of the world's history—the death of the Son of God, that He might thereby become the Redeemer of the whole world. The world knew nothing of the importance of the passing events, and even thh Apostles comprehended them but vaguely. Likewise the importance of the present neur is not comprehended by the world, and cannot be fully appreciated by any of us in our present state.

It has also given employment to many outside the home and is willing to help all women who need encouragement. The members of the club who understand its purpose, feel that the finest membership privilege is the privilege of serving others and the home's greatest need is the co-operation of all citizens for its maintenance. Last Monday, March 26, was Educational Day. Dr. Stovall gave an address on health; Mrs. V. E. Moxley a talk on Sojourner Truth; Mrs. M. D. Scritt the poems and Mrs. L. V. Stewart rendered a beautiful vocal solo after which sandwiches and tea were served by the Social Committee. Many entertainments are being planned for the raising of funds for the rally. Encourage the members by patronizing them. Rev. Henry Hunter, of Watts, was in Monrovia, Sunday, visiting friends. Mrs. Walter Lockett is on the sick list this week. Little Katherine Kinzy is slowly recovering from her illness. Rev. Robinson, of Arnes preached a real heart-felt sermon at the Second Baptist Church, Sunday morning. Kaster services at the Second Baptist Church will be rendered at the evening service at 7:30. The program is being given under the direction of the pastor's wife, Mrs. E. Wilson. SOUTH PACIFIC that have existed for many centuries are now passing away with great confusion, and the Body of Chaist—the Church, is being completed and the glorious Kingdom is coming in. Under the Law the Israelites were required to take the pascal lamb into their homes on the tenth day of Nisan, preparatory SOJOURNER NOTES Sojourner Truth Club women deserve the heartiest support and co-operation of all citizens in their fourth annual rally. They need $1000.00 to complete payment on the home, and if the citizens do their part by those loyal women they will celebrate their fourth anniversary May 18th with their home free from debt, and claim a reward of $100. Let all who can buy a link in the silver claim (which is $1.00 toward the rally) when the members approach them, and rest assured if the $1000.00 is realized the women of the club will not appeal to the public for some time. With the liquidation of the debt, a broader scope to the work can be accomplished. The Home was opened id May 1918 at a cost of over $5000 all of which has been paid, except $1000 aside from its maintenance which has been quite an item. In these few years of its operation hundreds of girls and women have accepted its hospitality and made it their home during their stay in the city. The home has furnished employment to all of its members who needed work and placed compass help in the best MONROVIA, CAL 165 DRESSERS Credit if You want it No Phone or C. D. D.

A safe prediction can only be presumed, but it certainly admits of the greatest possibilities, and what is true of one branch of farming will be true of all others when once under the magic wand of the true and earnest soul, intent on getting the best results and satisfied with none other. Just like every other calling to obtain the very best results, one must specialize and study soil and conditions to the best advantage, and when this is done immense crops will be the inevitable rule in this country which God has blessed, and which we really believe was reserved in this glorious twentieth century for our people to come into their own.

More in your next issue. Yours for larger growth and greatness. JAMES H. LONGDEN, Legal Adviser Progressive Educational Ass'n. A Lesson in Horticulture. If amateurs would plan out their garden before they start to sow the seeds, they would reap bigger crops and fewer disappointments, also buy your seeds from reliable seedman, as seeds are very scarce this year. Rotation of crops is needed to economize plant food and help avoid plant disease. Tomatoes, lettuce and cabbage, for example, may be planted this season where peas and beans grew last. Double cropping will double the total yield. That means that beets, cabbage or celery will go in as soon as early pease are off, that turnips will follow early beets and that lettuce will be sowed wherever a vacant space appears. It is a wise plan to start peas, beans, corn, radishes, beets and lettuce at intervals of a week or ten days all through the spring. Then there will be a long season of each kind. The earliest seeds to go in are peas, radishes; lettuce and spinach, which may be planted as soon as the soil is fit to work. Tomatoes in the back yard garden are best trained to stakes or supported on frames to economize space and keep the fruit clean. When you set out tomato plants which have long thin stalks, if a shallow trench be scooped out and a large part of the stalk bent lengthwise and buried along with the roots, scores of new rootlets will be formed and the strength of the plant greatly increased. Tomatoes may be stimulated by sinking a tin can in the ground at the base of each plant and partly filling it with manure, holes having first been made in the sides of the can. When water is poured into the cans the roots will get a fertilizer that they can use immediately. MRS J. H. GRAHAM, Supt. Forestry Dept. NOTICE Los Angeles, Cal. April, 1917.

From The ScrapBook By J.D.Raynolds In a speech in which he opposed granting additional powers to the United States Supreme Court, John Randolph said: "The Book of Judges comes before the Book of Kings." It is a historic fact that a majority, and often a bare majority, of the Supreme Court has sometimes sought to extend its jurisdiction to the enunciation of political doctrines. Yet it is also true that the American people have vigorously opposed this tendency. In the famous, or rather infamous, "Dred Scott" decision, Chief Justice Taney said: "A Negro has no rights which a white man is bound to respect;" and fifteen States precipitated the Civil War in an endeavor to form a nation based upon this inhuman sentence. The "Dred Scott" decision was rent to fragments by Union bayonets, and at the ballot box, as well as on the battlefield, the nation declared that, although distinctions of Color might be made in business, in social life and in the church, yet when it came to the ownership of his own muscles and brains, the power to order his own life, the Negro had rights which all men, of whatever caste or Color, must respect. It is a grievous mistake to place upon the Supreme bench of the nation a lawyer who may be justly suspected of a tendency to subordinate his judicial functions to his secret or avowed political aspirations, for such a man, however able and however honest in other respects, will be sorely tried, and may yield to the temptation of dragging his ermine, which should be spotless, into the unclean pool of politics. The nation was unfortunate when Justice Lamar died, and more unfortunate when Justice Brandeis was appointed to succeed him, for the tendency of the court to lean towards Socialistic theories was thereby accentuated to a degree that made possible the recent decision affirming by a bare majority the constitutionality of the Adamson law. The power of the judiciary over legislation, either by nullification or approval, is a power that is rarely exercised and when exercised its result can only be reversed by the slow processes of death, resignation and appointment. The Legislature can repeal a law that has been validated by the court, but it cannot re-enact a law that has been nullified. It is as much the duty of the court to nullify as it is to validate class legislation. It requires class regiments. 100 regiments The United States National Bank Member San Diego Clearing House Association INTERNET PAY ON "BANKING ONLY" Mandatory identity Time Accounts Broadway and Second San Diego, Cal United States Depositary Home 509 Phones Sunset 509 MARK B.

Miss Doreena Johnson, who has been quite sick for several days is able to be out again. probably more courage and greater conscientiousness to nullify than it does to validate a statute. In the case of the Adamson law Congress is the only power that can, by a repeal of the law, remedy the mischief it has wrought. But the great and growing power of the Gompers-dominated labor unions is much more likely to be exercised in additional class legislation, enhancing the wages of all railroad employees and possibly providing for an increase of wages to operatives in mines, in factories, in furnaces and in forges. The decision in the Adamson law case shows that a majority of the United States Supreme court is poisoned by the virus of Socialism. In rendering that decision the august body either deliberate- A mixed audience responded to an invitation to hear Mrs. Carrie Jackson and daughter Pauline in their second recital on last Monday evening, March 26th, at Eagle hall auditorium. Mrs. Porter, teacher of Pauline is given the credit of bringing these two talents before the public. In a very pleasing and encouraging way Mrs. Porter said she discovered latent talent in Pauline some years ago and realizing this fact she accepted the little Miss as a pupil. Although only a Miss of sixteen summers, Miss Pauline shows a marked distinction of a great future pianist of the race. Mrs. Jackson, the charming mother of Pauline is preparing herself vocally. She is under the instruction of one of the best teachers in Los Angeles. At the request of her former pastor, Rev. H. C. Evans, Mrs. Jackson was able to give two numbers of 8. Coleridge Taylor's compositions. Mrs. Jackson sang both selections very sweetly. Aside from these special training, both mother and daughter are active in church and club work.

Aside from his own regular services which number five on the Sabbath, he addressed the great Sunday School of the First Methodist church. An audience of nearly 2000 people greeted him and were pleased with his address in the interest of the work among the Colored people of the M. E. church. The services were up to the usual high water mark all day-Sunday and a great inspiration came to all who were present. On last Thursday night another storm struck the patersonage, resulting in a table laden with valuable groceries for the pastor and his family. Next Sunday will be a great day for the church. The pastor will reach MUTILA 1930 "Government of the People, by the People, for the People."

As the day drew on, Jesus said to His disciples, "My time is at hand." He then gave directions to His Apostles for the making ready of the Passover Supper; "and the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them, and they made ready the Passover." It was incumbent upon the Lord, as a jew, under the law arrangement, and also upon His disciples, to observe the Passover Supper. At the conclusion of the Supper the Lord instituted a new thing. The type of the slaying and eating of the pascal lamb was now about to be fulfilled. It would never be proper, therefore, to have another observance of the Passover, the antitype being the sacrifice of Jesus as "the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world." Our Lord there instituted the Memorial of the fulfillment of the type. MUTILAT ILATED and bitter herbe; that these eating it should do so with their loins girded, their shoes upon their feet and staves in hand, and that they should eat it in heats; that when the messenger of the Lord should pass through Egypt, upon every house where the blood of the lamb had been sprinkled according to the direction given by the Lord, the first-born should be passed over unharmed. As they carried out this arrangement, about midnight the first-born of all Egypt died, even to the first-born of Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt. M. Some months ago as the war lords whistled from the blood-soaked shores of Europe and thousands were being crushed beneath the cruel juggernaut of hatred envy and malice, there sat a few liberty-loving, justice-craving souls wrapped in the mantle of deep meditation. Viewing with apprehension the grim spectacle being enacted across the national life, heard the newaboys yell of a few days ago, "war is here," and America calling for patriotism, fealty and love. With hearts that beat in union with the principles of righteousness, truth and justice they longed for the day when America could pull down the flag of decit, prejudice and discrimination and wave in the breeze old glory, emblematic of liberty and freedom. Not willing to stop there they bound themselves together to hasten its dawn. The results of their labor and the clearness of their vision are being daily inscribed upon the banner of progress. It takes faith and fearlessness to break into new spheres. You must believe in yourself and the field you would plow. You must stifle all fears and defy all obstacles. These noble souls with the perspiration of conviction heavy on their brows, the gleam of faith in their eyes and the blood of courage coursing through their veins consecrated themselves to the task of opening the flood gates of despotism and cruelty and allowing a torrential stream of equality, brotherhood and equity to baptize this land which we hold so dear. This league has made a name of which it should be proud. Its principles find an echo in every vibrant heart and all eyes eagerly watch its signboard for instructions. It has lifted a voice of fairness, impartiality and love. It has sung a refrain of persuasion, suggestion and diplomacy that has helped make happy many sad and despondent souls and cleared away the rubbish in many mental backyards. Arousing the sons of Ham from a state of lethargy it led us to our beautiful Exposition Park where we could place on exhibition some evidence of the talent we possess and the work we are constantly doing. There amid California's sun-kissed palms many eyes were opened, many minds visibly touched and many hearts deeply impressed. Faith, pride and inspiration were deepened and many earnest vows made that the banner should never trail in the dust, and the All-American League should never die until its purpose should be gloriously achieved. Our city, state and country are blessed when such forward-looking give their deepest consideration to the inculcation of the principles upon which national solidity is founded in the minds and hearts of all citizens of this grand republic. We believe in our country, and know that it should be steered around the whirpool which threatens its destruction. We believe that when she stands upon the platform erected by this league, and when all shall declare undying allegiance thereto, that all nations of the earth will be blessed. Fight on, noble men and women; lift high" your glorious caustheon. All true-hearted American citizens will encourage, support and aid until the advent of that day when every man, woman and child that owns allegiance to the star-spangled banner can sing our national hymn, "My Country 'Tin of Thee'" without one disquieting thought or one disturbing reality to mar the harmony of their satisfaction.

Are you satisfied with working all your life at starvation wages and keeping your nose to the grindstone? 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 lamps. In many instances small investors have made from $50 to $500 for every dollar invested. You can have the same opportunity if you will accept our cooperation. This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit-carrying 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 same, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit-sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK $75 in cash in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to sight 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 signated 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 gunharts, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the field near by have been sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investors will save the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells to see their land for just as much or more. First—I think membership in in the CITY COUNCIL a place of honor and trust and if elected; I shall try to treat all classes justly so that at the end of my term I shall feel that I have been worthy of the honor bestowed upon me.
