ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 Editor of California Eagle: Voters, remember, as we are at war with Germany we have many trouble makers. We have a police force now under good discipline and being rapidly put into an effective fighting machine under Woodman and Butler. They are armed with 400 rifles and 2 machine guns, are being drilled every day, and will be a power in protecting the city from mobs, and if need be from armed enemy. If you elect Snyder, it means a new Police Chief, and demoralization of the force. Probably that is the aim of some of Snyder's supporters. Our police force is keeping close tab on alien enemies, too close for comfort in some quarters. Voters, better play safe and out only good, well known Americans on guard. Come out in force May 1st and vote solidly for Woodman for mayor. In making a campaign for the position of a member of the Board of Education. Mrs. Cecilia A. Greenbaum makes it clearly understood that she is allied with no ticket, and stands on her merit as a teacher and a business woman. Six years' experience in the Purchasing Dept. of the Board of Education has fitted Mrs. Greenbaum peculiarly for the position she seeks, and with a working knowledge of the detail work, it is argued that she may be a valuable adjunct to the incoming Board. If elected, and her many friends assure her of a splendid showing at the Primary, she will devote her energies toward an economic expenditure of the school money is only a woman can who has maintained herself and family for fifteen years. She has a son and daughter who have completed the high school of this city. A heavy vote should be given Mrs. Greenbaum as a tribute to a woman who has been the bread winner and companion of two wholeome children. Mrs. Greenbaum will be in a position to see the view point of both employer and employee, and with her life spent almost exclusively with young people, she will in harmony and sympathy with child life which is so essential for one whose aim and ambition it may be to make school conditions safer and better. Mrs. Greenbaum deplores the fact that the janitors' salaries have been cut, in as much as this affects the pure and deserving members of society and she reers with shame to the fact that 14,000 approximately has been cut from these workers' pay checks during the past year, when god and clothing have soared in price beyond the reach of so many. This is not the kind of conomy she advocates. "THE BUILDING OF A RACE" Was the subject of an address used by the Rev. A. P. Shaw, pastor of Wesley Chapel Sunday afternoon. Several assailant as well as interesting points necessary as the fundamental basis in the building if any Race was developed by Dr. Shaw. "Be proud and not ashamed of our Racial identity," said the Severend. The great trouble with most of us lies in the fact that we want to be everything but what we are. There is no reason why the Nero should be ashamed of his connection. He does not seem to know that the early Egyptians, he very founders of this world civilization, were Black men, and our forefathers. Then let us be proud of our ancestry. The best way to demonstrate our pride in our Race is by having confidence in each other. We ```markdown ``` The California Eagle can never hope to succeed by scattering our strength. Here in Los Angeles we are scattering our strength. For instance, said the Reverend, it seems to me that we could support two Colored newspapers and build up these in a creditable manner and other enterprises that are crowded by over-ambitions people who think because others are succeeding in one line that they can help by jumping in upon the same proposition. Our success in business, and other walks of endeavor depend not upon the great number of commodities we have but upon our support of the ones already established, said Mr. Shaw. There are few men in public life in the city of Los Angeles who are so deservedly popular and who command the respect of their fellow citizens more than does State Senator Henry H. Lyon. In every walk of life his friends are legion. Senator Lyon has at the request of a large number of prominent and influential voters announced his candidacy for the City Council at the primaries on May 1st, and it is safe to say that his nomination is absolutely assured. Senator Lyon is no stranger to the citizens of Los Angeles every year of his useful life has been spent within its borders. He has seen its wonderful growth and development, and he has taken an active part in every public and popular movement that meant its development and the betterment and happiness of its people. In asking the support of his fellow citizens in the coming primaries he is actuated with the highest ideals in rendering them that efficient service which the years of training and activity in public life has pre-eminently fitted him监护. In 1908 and 1909 he was a member of the City Council, and during those years ris industry and fidelity to the needs of all the people won for him their hearty esteem, and the many public improvements he was instrumental in having enacted is sufficient evidence of what can be expected of him when he occupies his place in the City Council. As a member of the Assembly of his native state (California) he won for himself the plaudits of the press and people, and the many humanitarian laws he was instrumental in placing on the Statute books stand as a monument to his ability, integrity and industry. The people, recognizing his services to them, sent him a step higher and for eight years he has represented them as State Senator. There are, and need not be, any misgivings as where Senator Lyons stands on public questions. He has been the author of more humanitarian legislation during those years than all other Senators combined. He is well known as the champion of popular rights and the men and the women of this State owe him a debt of gratitude. As Deputy Labor Commissioner he has been known as the staunch and steadfast friend of the toiling masses, and they have never sought his aid or counsel in vain. This is the man who now seeks the votes of the people whom he has served with such fidelity. He is prominently identified with several social benevolent and patriotic organizations. AM A CANDIDATE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL. MY PLATFORM I will use my best efforts to reduce the expense, and increase the efficiency of the city government in all its branches, and will show no favors in the conducting of the city's business along the lines of economy, efficiency and sound business principles. I will endeavor to represent the citizens of the entire city and will attentively listen to suggestions San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 21, 1917 WHY WE SHOULD ELECT MAYOR WOODMAN We should elect Frederic T. Woodman mayor of Los Angeles because this city needs justsuch a man of a broad vision, untiring energy and proven ability. First as president of the Harbor Commission he has saved thousands of dollars to the taxpayers. He has started to build for the growing needs of a growing city. In his scheme of government he has mapped out plans for still greater betterment of economic conditions in this city. He is the man needed in these war times whose ancestral patriotism cannot be questioned. A son of the Revolution and the Grand Army of the Republic, he can best realize what Americanism means for all the people. He is no smirking, smiling politician who believes the colored man is fitted alone for the most ordinary hard work. He is being supported by the people who stand for the very best in this community, and was not chosen by a close corporation of banks, booze, lighting and gas to place new burdens on the people. He should be elected mayor to continue the good work he has so well begun, bringing down the high cost of living. He should be elected mayor because all of his endeavors are in behalf of the people and not that kind of bigbusiness that means the smallest returns to the people. Mr. Woodman will be elected very probably in the primaries. Let us work to that end. The headquarters of Mayor Woodman are located at 409 South Hill St., in charge of an able corps of assistants, who will welcome you and give your inquiries a cheerful answer. Let us be in a position to ask the newly elected mayor, the man we helped elect, to protect us in the enjoyment of our citizen rights. Frederic T. Woodman is from that section of the country that produced William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner. Do not fear but that we will have the fairest deal we ever had in this city. The primary election is approaching when a mayor will probably be elected. A few facts concerning our city and its present chief executive are worth your consideration. REMEMBER PRESENT CONDITIONS:—The country, of which Los Angeles is an important unit, is passing through a great crisis. It is of prime importance that our city government be at its highest efficiency. Preparedness, co-operation, public economy, and stability in civic affairs are of the greatest necessity. Mayor Woodman has no time for politics. His time is taken up in the doing of THE BIG THINGS A REAL MAYOR SHOULD DO. He is making it his business to see that when Los Angeles is called upon she shall not be found wanting. We have the opportunity now to build here a great commercial center with a payroll that will help all of us. The harbor is ready, conditions are favorable. Let us do our part. MAYOR WOODMAN IS ATTENDING TO OUR BUSINESS. Let us do our duty by electing him at the primaries on May 1st. and opinions from all, and will govern my action on every question with these suggestions and opinions in mind; and in all cases where the rights and interests of the citizens are at stake, will confer with the representatives of both sides, and make my decisions after I am thoroughly convinced what the majority of the citizens want. In all contracts with the city I will demand that the specifications be lived up to in every respect, and will not sanction unnecessary delays in public works or overlook mistakes and irregularities under any circumstances, and will insist that the city's rights be safeguarded just as carefully as though they were my own. I will work untiringly for the city's welfare and do my share to keep it the cleanest, safest and sanest city in the world, where the best people from the four corners of the earth may live, enjoy their surroundings, gain wealth and fame, and rear their families in perfect security with the true American spirit. I will support the Constitution of the United States and the State of California and obey the provisions of the city charter, and perform the duties of the office to the best of my ability. O. P. CONAWAY. LEGISLATURE COMING TO A CLOSE The end of the 1917 session of the legislature of the great State of California is in sight and a week from today the session will adjourn "sine die." At this time there is a rush on the part of both houses to get their measures through and they are holding day and night sessions. Thursday's session promises to be an all night affair. as the Rominger Bill, the Ashley Bill, et al, are out of the way in so far as the Assembly is concerned and now the minor bills are the chief concern of the members. Senate Using the Pruning Knife Over in the Senate the pruning knife cut off five of the attaches on Wednesday and promises to fall again on next Monday. In the Assembly rumors of the knife falling are extant but up to this writing no such move has been made. Economy seems to be the watchword and n osurprise would be sprung in case such a proposition would come forth. Assemblyman Mouser is having a very strenuous time in securing the passage of the Mouser Mototr Vehicle Bill and as the time is limited even the hustling member from the far famed 74th Assembly District mut outdo all previous efforts to get his bill passed. All of the members of the Assembly and attaches as well, extend condolence to Assemblyman Henry Younkin in his sad bereavement, the passing of his wife in Los Angeles last Monday. Assemblvmen Peter C. Phillips and Bert Farmer returned Tuesday from Los Angeles where they went to look after their political fences as each of these statesmen are candidates for the city council of that city. William Vacher, Asst. Sergt. at Arms of the Senate, will leave on next Saturday for Los Angeles to assist the campaign to elect Senator Henry Lyons to the city council. W. C. Wilson, the only colored attache of the Senate, is holding down the position of mailing clerk and performing the duties thereof with neatness and dispatch. WOODMAN FOR NEXT MAYOR [Name] WHAT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH? In accordance with the idea of our great leader and benefactor the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, the week of April.22-28 is to be known as National Negro Health Week. Efforts will be made to bring this important subject before all of our people and urge them to blend their energies for its conservation. Life itself is almost summed up in this word health. Without it life is miserable and existence intolerable. The medical spirits of this community (and no city can boast of any better) have offered their time and talents freely and fully to speak as they only can speak along this line from the pulpit. In view of this great interest and from such a noble set of men it behooves us one and all to respond with our united forces and make this a memorable week in our city. As the late Dr. Booker T. Washington said in 1915, "Without health and until we reduce the high death-rate it will be impossible for us to have permanent success in business, in property getting, in acquiring education or to show other evidences of progress. Without health and long life all else fails. We must reduce our high death-rate, dethrone disease and enthrone health and long life. We may differ on other subject, but there is no room for difference here. Let us make a strong, long, united pull together." There are many alarming conditions calling in stern tones for our attention. The vultures of disease and sickness are feasting sumptuously upon too many carcases strewn upon the field of neglect. The hearse as it rolls along the evergreen paths often sighs, "My burden would be lighter if the laws of health had been regarded." It is easier to cut now with the knife of prevention than wait until our bodies are racked with pain, swamped with disease and prepare instructions for the undertaker. This is a vital matter and concerns every member of the community. Let us not be recreant to our trust. Let us not stand idly by and fail to perform our duty. Let us ask and demand an answer to the queries, "Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with thy child? Let every pulpit shout the message. Let every health-loving soul answer to the call. REV. B. C. ROBESON, Pastor A. M. E. Zion Church PRESENT SERGEANT AT ARMS WITH BEAUTIFUL EMBLEM As an expression of our appreciation for the many courtesies extended and the favors shown us, and as a slight token of the esteem in which he is held by those working under his leadership while employed in the Assembly during this Forty-second THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN MAN FOR MAYOR Session of the Legislature, we, the undersigned, desire to present to William J. Leflar this offering, and trust that it may serve in the future to recall the many pleasant hours we have spent together during this session of the Legislature: Arthur A. Ohnimus, J. B. Bass, Louis Erb, Daniel Pyne, E. M. P. Maloney, George Grover, George Jones, L. W. Jackson, Wm. A. Miller, John Singewald, John Hayes, Lewis Holden, Abe Harris, Howard Stilley, Wm. Rennie, Ed Swanson, Julius Stark, Eugene I. Kelly, Dan Roberts, C. A. Cannon, Sylvester O'Brien. We are pleased to announce the candidacy of Will H. Light, candidate for city council. He has resided in the city for 15 years, is a property owner and has been successful in business. He is capable, honest and industrious, insists upon economy, lower taxes an da visible form of government. He has a legal education, is a student of municipal affairs and has a knowledge of what is required in the management of a city. He is financing his own campaign, has no private or corporate interests to serve and has made no promises. He is a member of several fraternal organizations and has many friends who are industrious working night and day for him. He will poll a very large vote. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Taking for his text the latter part of the 16th verse of the 3rd chapter of St. John last Sunday morning, Dr. H. D. Prowd stirred his overflow audience up to a state of not spasmodic but genuine spiritual emotion. There was one convert and two accessions to the church, and it seems that as never before the people of the Second church are beginning to realize that God has entrusted to their care as pastor a man who is emirently able to lead them on to victory. The pastor and members in order to accommodate the great crowds that are constantly coming as visitors and the growing need of a larger church house have already laid their plans for a larger and more complete church house. AT SACRAMENTO Mr. and Mrs. Scott of 22nd St. visited in Woodland last Sunday. The Men's Whist Club meet in their closing meet for the season on Monday evening at the residence of B. A. Johnson on G St. They will give their closing smoker next week at which time the prizes will be awarded. Everybody is interested in the big conclave to be held at St. Andrews church on next Monday evening. The out of town speakers will be Hon. Hugh E. Macbeth of Los Angeles; Hon. Oscar Hudson and A. P. Alberga of San Francisco and Editor J. B. Bass of Los Angeles. Mr. H. Shannan, after a few days' stay left Saturday for his home in San Francisco. Editor J. B. Bass addressed the citizens of Sacramento at the Shiloh Baptist church last Tuesday evening and the same evoked the greatest enthusiasm, especially his plea for loyalty to this country. Mrs. Jacob Soreas entertained at dinner on last Thursday evening C. W. Wilson and Editor J. B. Bass, and while we mentioned on a previous visit the dinner given by Mr. Soreas, we must say here and now that the old war horse-was put down for the count. Mrs. Soreas' feast makes her better half look like a selling plater. Mr. Presby S. Winfield is also a new young man in town. What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO What the Churc FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Eighth and Towne Avenue Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor The quarterly communion services last Sunday were up to the usual high standard, with a large number of members in attendance and many distinguished visitors present. Dr. J. H Wilson, our Presiding Elder, delivered two masterful sermons to the edification of all present. The pastor baptized little James Otis Stanton and there were two accessions to membership, including the class night addition. On Tuesday night Dr. Wilson held the third quarterly conference session and the reports showed spiritual and financial conditions of the church in the very best condition during the history of this great church. There were added to the church this third quarter 64 members, 23 converts, 2 infant baptisms and 15 adult baptisms. The Sunday School raised during this third quarter $107.82. The Stewards raised this quarter $599.70, while the Trustee department raised this quarter $1,594.63. Each auxiliary society in the church did a magnificent work. There were four deaths in the membership and the record shows the present membership to be 898. This progressive record of the third quarter elicited the highest commendation of the Presiding Elder and all members of the quarterly conference. Sunday the pastor will preach at 11 o'clock. Subject, "Sowing and Reaping." Sunday evening at 7:45 o'clock, this being "Health Observance Week." Our unexcelled vested choir will render rare sacred selections at both services. Everybody welcome to historic Eighth and Towne Avenue A. M. E. church. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Corner 18th and Paloma Rev. N. P. Greggs Pastor The joyful Easter spirit still reigned at the People's Independent Church of Christ during last Sunday. At 6 o'clock a.m. the first wedding that has been in the church took place. After the 11:30 o'clock sermon, which was enjoyed by all, a large American flag was presented to the church by a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. Response in behalf of the church by Capt. Crumbly. The pastor took as his theme at 7:30 o'clock service. "Making a Beautiful Character," he saying in part: The three elements of a beautiful character are meekness, truthfulness and kindness. The art of being meek in the twentieth century has been forgotten. A meek person is called by the world soft, easy and foolish. But it is the promise of God that they shall be blessed. It is one's character that makes him beautiful. Beautiful eyes are not those that are bright and sparkling, but those that look out from a beautiful soul. Beautiful feet are those that go swiftly with messages of love and peace. Beautiful hands are those that do loving deeds. The world may look down on the real true beautiful character, but when the stars have left their silver sockets and the mist has rolled away, the beautiful character will then be crowned with God's glory. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE- GATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street and Central Avenue All the services were well attended and enjoyed by all at this church on last Sunday. The pastor was very much refreshed from a week's rest at Catalina and filled the pulpit at both services, taking as his text in the morning, "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above." Col. 3:1. At the evening service the subject was "A Bruised Reed." The Sunday School continues to grow in interest and attendance, last Sunday being a record breaker. It is inspiring to see these young people gathering each Sunday for religious instruction and training. "Seeing Jesus" will be the subject of the pastor at the morning service on next Sunday. Next week being health week the observance will have a fitting beginning at this church when Dr. L. Stovall will address us at the evening service along the lines of health. Everyone interested in his own health and in the health of the community should hear this address Christian Endeavor 7 p. m. A cordial welcome to all. REV. W. Z. HOPPER CALLED TO BIRCH STREET CHRISTIAN CHURCH Our services were very good all day. Rev. L. G. Robinson preached our morning sermon on "Faith." His illustrations were fine. This young man should be in the field of labor for the Master. In the evening Brother Hooper brought us the message. At the close of this service it was decided to call Brother W. Z. Hopper to take charge of the church indefinitely. We hope now to do a good work and ask every member to cooperate with us to make all departments grow. Our Sunday School still improves. We are using the graded lessons. On Sunday the 22nd, Brother Hooper will preach. Morning subject, "Faith and Works;" evening, "The Family Name of God's Children."

The preaching was done by Dr. Price Ward Chapel A. M. E. church and Dr. Craw of the First A. M. E. church. Rev. Edwards of the A. M. E. church filled the pulpit on Sunday morning. The meetings were very enjoyable and are being lately attended. The singing of the famous choir of this church continues to be a source of pleasure to the worshippers and they are continuing to improve. The new organ has added much to the appearance and spiritual life of the church. The pastor will preach at the morning service on the coming Sunday and at the afternoon service Dr. A. P. Shaw of Wesley Chapel M. E. church will preach. The public is cordially invited to worship with us. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma Streets The pastor's text last Sunday was an enlightening discourse on baptism. He proved conclusively from a Biblical standpoint that to enter heaven it is not essential that one should be baptized by water as so many think. Some are too prone to think that even to be baptized you must not be sprinkled but must go under the water, complete immersion. Such was proven conclusively is not a truth. Many saw the light and went away with wiser heads and satisfied hearts. He quoted the dying thief on the cross, who one the day the Savior was crucified called upon Our Lord to have mercy, and the answer of Our Savior, saying, "On this day will you stand with Me before My Father in heaven." He asked, "Was this thief baptized?" etc. Zion is indeed awakening to the tune of Progress, under our able pastor. Prof. Bynum has taken over the management of the choir. He will open a training school for a period of six months. This school will be in the vestry of the church, for the training of our young and adult singers. The church will invest $14 or more in books for the use of the new choir. The job for the building of the steps was let to a mason of the firm of Chas. Blogetts & Co. These steps are to be concrete at the Paloma entrance. 11 a. m., Lay sermon by Dr. W. C. Gordon on the subject of "Health. At 8 p. m. this subject will be "War in the Camp."

Botts and Miss L Street.° The house was charmingly decorated and Mrs. Davis upon this occasion established’ her reputatiton as a delightiul hostess. * CHARMING Since Lent is over there will be a general shifting of releasing and dis- tributing condititons are imminent judging from all signs. The dinner dance given last Monday night was a blinding array of genius. The hall was indeed beautiful with its numer- ous tables, each distinctively decor- ated. A five course dinner was serv- ed. Between courses the guests danced. Many beautiful gowns were n evidence. Mr. Waugh and attend- ing young men were to be. compli- mented for the originality of the whole affair and the clever way in which is was carried out ve 8 MISS HALL ENTERTAINS Miss Hall proved herself a most charming, as well as a most artistic hostess when she entertained in hon- or of two visiting friends from San Diego. Hand painted place cards marked the "places for the twelve guests who enjoyed the occasion. ‘The table had as a center a large cro- cheted basket laden with large bows of wisteria. The five course dinner which was prepared by Miss Hall's sister, Mrs, James, bespoke of | her talent as a housewife.

Miss Dora Williams pre- sided at the punch bowl and Mrs. Corey and Mrs. YJackson served from the table, The reception was weil attended and all the ladies were look- ing their best in their gowns.

The Eagle’s Candidate ONE OF MANY Of the many candidates for city councilmen there is one who should have the support of all voters. That candidate is George H. Duvall. Mr. Duvall has been a resident of Los Angeles twen- ty-nine years; ,has lived gp the Vernon avenue and Central ave- nue district, where he was en- gaged for many years in the mer- cantile business, and where he now will have a large vote from his many friends. Later, Mr. Du- vall engaged in the building busi- ness, and built many modern Houses and. several business build- ing in this section. Mr. Duvall is now in business atTwelfth and Central avenue,swhere he has made friend by his fair and cour- teous treatment. ‘One can easily see that Mr. Duvall is much in- terested in this city, and with your help in electing him to the city council you will have a chance of getting service for your district. Remember him at the primaries, May Ist. Mr. R. P. Benton, former Re- publican assemblyman from the 66th district, and who conducted the campaign last year for the referendum petition against non- partisanship, and the initiative measure against a member of the legislature holding two positions, is now a candidate for the City Council. He resides in Boyle Heights, and is backed by some of the most influential men and women in the city, and asks you to give him your support. Mr. Benton has always been a friend of our people, and can be depend- ed on to do the same if elected to the Council. He has a campaign committee of 172 names, and among them appear those of some of our most prominent people.

MRS. M. E. SCOTT, Pres. MISS LOUISE WILLIAMS, Sec. asks you to give him one of your nine votes, and he is Number Five on the ballot. Among the many that have an- nounced themselves as a candi- date for the city council, few pos- sess the ability and sterling qual- ities necessary for the position as does W. H. Gilbert of 630 West Eighteenth street. He has been a resident of Los Angeles for many years and has done much for the upbuilding of this com- munity. He has been engaged in the building and real estate busi- ness to a large extent and mapy of the fine improvements through- out the residential section are the results of his efforts. As a builder and contractor ef- ficiency and not class or color has been Mr. Gilbert's slogan, and it is believed by those who have in past years labored with Mr. Gil- bert that if he is elected to the City Council he will be ambassa- dor for all of the people. He Offers Something Better. | Are you people tired of Ring Rule and high taxes? Are the east side people mad at having no, representation in the. City Council? Are you ready to put Business Men into the Council in- stead of politicians? Then get busy and use your ballots. Most of you know me and that I stand for District Representation and anti-Invisible Government. Take my name to\the polls and your friends with you. t. Charles H. V. Lewis.

After all, this great world's war may be God's way of making a real democracy both in spirit and in fact, whereby all Races and all nations shall come absolutely into their own. Mayor Woodman don't have to notify the public in case he is elected that he will not be in favor of "the redlights" and the "underworld." He was never mayor when there was such. Mayor Woodman made his record as President of the Harbor Commission, and it was that record that first called attention to his excellent qualifications for mayor of a city as large as Los Angeles is now. It is well to let well enough alone. Mayor Woodman is making the ablest mayor this city has ever had. When the opponent of Mayor Woodman was in office Los Angeles had the "spoils system," a system that WILL NEVER COME BACK. There are ten times the colored men in city office of some kind today, than there were during the time of Mr. Snyder. It would be a good idea for our people to go up with a winner and not down and out with a loser. The last time Mr. Snyder ran he was defeated. Had his two terms in office proved such a howling success, why was he not re-elected? The so-called "good old days" are done and passed, which is probably not good grammar, but it is a fact that the politically dead cannot come back again. Many of the same "leaders" of the Race who enthusiastically "speeched and scribbled" for Rose and Sebastian in the past days, are now busy doing the same for Snyder. What a mess they make of things. Remember Mayor Woodman became Mayor of this city when it was already provided with Commissioners and Councilmen. He has already proved his ability, give him a chance to prove he is our friend. Those probably good intentioned Race men who are trying to make "a record" of Race friendliness for "pinky," should look up the written history of "pinky" and "his bunch" when they were in control, and they will learn why they were turned "down cold" at their last General Election that failed to elect them. The rallying cry after the Fort Pillow massacre in the Civil War was, "Boys, remember Fort Pillow." In the city campaign it should be "Remember Bert L. Farmer," who is running for the City Council. His efforts to humiliate a Race at Sacramento and his connections with preventing Homer Garrett from living on his own property should be enough for all self respecting members of the Race, and by no hook or crook give him a single vote. Los Angeles is now a large and progressive city. It is advancing in population and it should advance in its manifold industries. There were times when the political arbiters of the fate of this city were "booze" and "pubilc utility companies" that were not utilities; there was a time when "the people be hanged or worse" was the slogan. That time is happily passed and the people now in the saddle will see to it May 1st, that there shall be no reaction. Mayor Woodman represents the hopes and inspiration of newer and greater Los Angeles, and the thinking Colored citizen is no less vitally interested.

It is pleasing indeed to have visitors to come amongst us, and especially is this true in the case of the Hon. Geo. H. Woodson of Buxton, Iowa, who has indeed rendered during his brief stay here signal service for racial uplift. His great vision for the organization of capital alone has been an inspiration, and his earnestness for organization and lovality to our country are indeed worthy of our highest consideration, and we therefore appreciate very much the visit of Mr. Woodson in our midst and regret that his stay could not be longer.

It seems that ex-mayor M.P.Snyder was c There is absolutely no question at any time as to the loyalty of the Colored citizins of this country. In every crisis through which this country has passed no class of its citizenship has demonstrated a greater loyalty or performed more meritorious deeds than this people and now in this great war with the issues clean cut as they are; no part of the country's citizenship will prove more loyal than this class. We have no other country. We want no other. This is our home which we shall ever maintain and defend unto death if need be. The brightest pages in the history of this nation record the heroism and valor of the Negro soldier and if given a chance in the history yet to be made similar deeds of even a greater lustre will testify to this Ever Loyal class of its citizenship. It seems that ex-mayor M.P.Snyder was called on to present badges to a very creditable institution of the Race, and his little presentation speech showed his estimate of the Race. After listening to some very excellent music, he informed his hearers that their performance reminded him so much of his Southern home and its banjo playing. In fact he became so remi- THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE The California Eagle was so busy with the glorious present and the great possibilities of the future, and knowing that Mr. Snyder's repudiation at the polls nearly fifteen years ago settled him, it did not place him among the glorious possibilities of the future. The Eagle intended to let him severely alone; but it seems that mis-information is running riot, and Mr. Snyder is being given credit for things he never did. Elsewhere in this paper you will read over the signature of reputable Colored citizens, some of them tax-payers during "pinky's incumbrance," incumberance is the word for it, the things that "pinky" really did, and some of the things he NEVER did. Mayor Fred Eaton, who preceeded "pinky" was the man who first placed the Colored man in the fire department and on the police. What Mayor Snyder did was to SEGREGATE the Negro firemen, and this was done over the protest of the Afro-American Council and a kindred Race organization gotten up for the specific purpose of destroying "pinky's Southern institution of unmixing the Races in civic institutions. During the second term of Mayor Snyder signs were plentiful about this city informing the public that "Negro trade was not wanted." And positively "pinky" did not have them taken down. And during McAleer's single term the gratuitous insult became aggravated. And it was for the reason that the sign insult beginning in Snyder's last term of mayor and continuing through McAleer's, that the Colored voters voted nearly as a whole for Arthur C. Harper, who up to date had been the best mayor for the Race that this city had ever had. The Eagle, at that time the property of the lamented J. J. Neimore, was not an organ of "pinky" when he ran last. He was repudiated by many of his former supporters because he was getting too much of an advocate of his dear old "Southern institutions." That is just what is the matter with "pinky," all of the Negro's music sounds to him like the twang of a banjo and he loves us in but a little different manner than he loved his dear "ol' black mammy and his uncles and auntys." Thank God, there are a majority of the Race in this city who insist on being treated like men and women, like freemen and American citizens and resent the patronizing airs of any man. The California Eagle is loyally supporting Frederic T. Woodman because we sincerely believe him to be the best man for Mayor of this city; we believe he will in some tangible way show his appreciation of our Race support, and mark you, THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE HAS NEVER RECEIVED A CENT FOR ITS SUPPORT. Can the papers that are now supporting Snyder so ardently truthfully say the same? Start Right at the Primaries VOTE FOR GEORGE H. DUVALL niscent of his beloved Southern institutions that he gave his intelligent audience a chill. In fact, Mr. Snyder has all of the 'hall-marks' of his kind. He likes "the Negro in his place." He has yet to learn we have long since abandoned "cat gut" music and have pianos in our homes. The California Eagle was so busy with the glorious present and the great possibilities of the future, and knowing that Mr. Snyder's repudiation at the polls nearly fifteen years ago settled him, it did not place him among the glorious possibilities of the future.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE San Diego was a host to many railroad men last week, who enjoyed being away from the snowy peaks and being in the balmy breezes of Southern California. Among those present were Mr. W. H. Washington, Mr. Chas Jackson, Mr. John Clark, Mr. A Hubbart, Wm. Gains, Chas. Butcher. They left last week for San Francisco before returning East. Mrs. Sarah Austin of Los Angeles made a flying trip to San Diego last Friday to accompany her daughter, Mrs. M. T. Laws, who was sick, to her home in the lattel city. She brought the baby, Mattie B., which brightens the heart of Mr. M. T. Laws. They left Saturday morning at 2 a.m., where she is reported to be out of danger and is much improved. Mrs. Dedric, who has been spending the winter in this city, left for her home in Oakland. She was accompanied as far as Los Angeles by her friend Mrs. Jones, who spent several days in the city before returning. Don't forget the smokestack ball which will be held at Castle hall Thursday, April 26, 1917. The Black and Tan orchestra will furnish music for this occasion. Mrs. Gray is matron in charge at the Plaza comfort station during the absence of Mrs. M. T. Laws. RIVERSIDE Easter Sunday was appropriately celebrated at the Second Baptist church. In the morning, Pastor Reed preached an excellent sermon from the text, "He Has Risen" (thre witnesses). First witness that testifies is the Angel. Second withness, the empty sepulchre. Third witness of the risen Christ is Christ himself. He appears in person to the women. Speaking along these lines he mightily unfolded the truth of the risen Saviour. In the afternoon he preached an edifying sermon to the deaconses. In the evening Easter exercises were brilliantly carried out by the Sunday school. The church was crowded to witness the program, which was so well gotten up under the management of Miss May Goodwin. Last Sunday was another delightful day of service at Second Baptist. Rev. Reed again edified the mind and caused the soul to rejoice as he talked to his hearers on "Patience." The church is making great preparation for the coming of the Baptist State Convention in June. No stone is being left unturned to make everything pleasant for the large crowd that is anticipated. The Ladies' Aid Society enjoyed a pleasant meeting at the home of Mrs. Aaron Wiley last Friday. A splendid program was rendered. Mrs. A. E. Webber, president of the State Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Convention, was the guest of Mrs. L. Dumas during her visit to this city in the interest of her work. She attended the services at the Second Baptist and spoke at the Deaconess meeting. Mrs. Alice Streeter made a flying trip home from Los Angeles last Friday. She returned to Los Angeles Saturday, where she will be for some time. THAT ROMINGER BILL If the proponents of the Rominger Bill had of known that the wines which the bill sought to protect were even more pernicious than the over 21 per cent alcohol, they would not have sought to pass the bill. The sweet wines produce the wine head and this specimen borders on the dope fiend and if we had a preference we would prefer straight drunkenness to a generation on wine heads which excel as degenerates. On the whole the defeat of the Rominger Bill will prove a blessing in disguise. Rev. Ramsey attended a rally at Long Beach Sunday and left everyone feeling stronger in the spirit. Meadames Jackson and Watkins visited the Old Folks Home and declared themselves surprised at the beautiful surroundings. Mrs. Isabelle Peyson has been assisting in caring for the little ones at the Day Nursery on Channing St. Odd Fellows are going to improve their lodge by addition to the membership. Many attended the annual sermon in the city. Rev. Ramsey and family enjoyed dining with Mrs. Garret on Liberty St. Sunday 9th inst. S. M. T. will have a meeting on the 28th. All visitors welcome. Mrs. Emeline Claucell attended the marriage of her sister to Mr. Miller on 53d St. last Thursday evening. Mrs. G. W. Spencer is preparing to leave for their future home in Arkansas. Mrs. Martin and husband from Pasadena are visiting Mrs. Martin and family on Villa Ave. Mr. Martin on Villa Ave. is becoming quite a fisherman, having caught over a hundred pounds last week. Rev. Trigg preached two powerful sermons Sunday. Mrs. Miller from the city, was the guest of the Screen family on Thaxter St. Sunday. Mrs. Joseph Spivey of Atlanta, Ga., was down Sunday making new acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and friends pass through our city Sunday en route to the beach in their five-passenger car. Mr. Drew on Jones St. was burned about the face, Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, from Hollywood were down visiting the Drew's Sunday. Mrs. Harper's daughter on Thaxter St. is suffering with rheumatism. Mr. Braggs on Jones St. is looking for the sister he has never seen, from the South, who expects to spend her last days with his family. Mrs. Marshall, mother of Leuvian, of Hollywood, left for New Orleans, Sunday after a year's visit with her daughter's family and friends. Mesdames Anderson, Fortier and others are lending assistance to the Web children, whose mother is an invalid in a sanitarium. Mr. Clausell and family attended the marriage of his sister, Miss Calidonia Clausell to Mr. Miller. Both are graduates of Tuskegee of the class of 1908. He is a first-class bricklayer and with her knowledge of how to make their beautiful home a paradise, we predict for them success and happiness through life. SAN BERNARDINO NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Monday evening, April 16, 1917, a mass meeting was called for the purpose of organizing a Home Guard. After singing "America," invocation by Rev. F. W. Cooper, the purpose of the meeting was stated by the chairman, W. S. Johnson. J. H. Mabra spoke of the loyalty of the Afro-Americans to the flag and their country. Harold D. Shaw, son of M. B. Shaw, chaplain of Seventh regiment, outlined the duties of the Home Guards. "The Fight is On" was then sung by the congregation. W. H. Harrison, the only Colored veteran of the Civil War in this city, gave a short talk on the experience he had had and of his intention of joining in with the rest to protect our country. Rev. F. W. Cooper gave a splendid talk. William A. Johnson, the ouestman to join and a senior in the high school, gave an oration on Tuscon La. Overture. This oration was delivered by him a few weeks ago before the student body at the high school and caused quite a deal of comment in the local papers, because of its thoroughness and the splendid delivery. A recess was taken that those desiring to join might be given the chance to give their names, and something like thirty names were signed. The officers will be elected next Monday evening. Mrs. J. H. Mendellhall and daughter, Miss Lucy Mendenhall were hostesses at a reception given at their home on West Seventh street, Tuesday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock in honor of Mrs. L. E. Kiff and Mrs. M.

The dining room was beautifully decorated with the dainty Cecil Brunners arranged in low bowls, and their color, repeated in the other appointments of the afternoon. A charming basket of waxy pink and white tulips decorated the library table. A short program intermingled with conversation was the diversion. A dainty collation of salad, sandwiches, bon bons, ice cream and cake was served.

NOTES OF INTEREST FROM PUEBLO, COLORADO The city of constant sunshine, gateway of the Great West, in midst of great moral and religious awakening under leadership of the "Fighting Parson," Rev. Dr. J. Gordon, McPherson, California's noted revivalist. Racial progress seen in all lines, social and industrial notes gleaned from various sources. Staff Correspondent National Negro Press Services (Special) Pueblo, the beautiful city of constant sunshine, lies in the center of the great Arkansas Valley and is one of the most productive manufacturing centers in the Rocky Mountain West. Pueblo county is situated in the south-central part of the State of Colorado and contains a large area in the fertile Arkansas valley agricultural district through which flows the Arkansas river. The county has played an important part in the history of the State for it was in this county near the present site of the city of Pueblo, that Captain Pike's exploring party camped in 1806 and from here he set out on his famous attempt to reach the summit which is now called Pike's Peak. During the early part of the Nineteenth Century fur traders and trappers made Pueblo their headquarters. As Pueblo is the second city in Colorado it is an important railroad center; and is one of the largest manufacturing cities in Rocky Mountain West. It has over 100 manufacturing plants representing 30 different lines of industry giving employment to several thousand colored men, which are among the most industrious and progressive in this section, the opportunities for the business man and the craftsman are unequaled among the thrifty racemen are many beautiful and cozy homes.

The expansion of the city’s commerce and the illimination of heavy taxes for unnecessary im- provements. Efficieecy and practical econ- omy.”” 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 himrelf. As a lifetime observer of the civic management of this muni- cipality I have noted necessity of more efficient management and applicatlon of practical econom- ies.

He is thundering against the mighty power of sin at Bethelhem Baptist church, corner Arroya and Spruce avenue, of which Rev. G. W. Henry, D.D., formerly of the Second Baptist church of Topeka, Kansas, is the popular pastor and one of the most influential leaders in Colo- radio. Bethlehem is one of the mostt influential religious congregations in the city, and nightly is crowded with hundreds of the leading citizens and ministers of both races, the white people are attending the revival meetings as never before Evangelist McPherson is widely known as the "Black Billy Sunday" because of the immense crowds that attend his revival services. Many backsliders and sinners are falling under the mighty power of God as this giant of the far Pacific Slope drives home the gospel truths. Evangelist McPherson has just closed a successful tour through Arizona and New Mexico where he addressed great crowds from from Pueblo.

The image contains a black background with a white text block. The text is not clearly visible due to the blurry quality of the image. Read My Platform. 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. Second—I consider that the smallest wage earner pays his share of taxes, either directly or indirectly, and his interests should be protected just as carefully 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 always in view. Fourth—Laws that are beneficial to the public in general should be enforced without fear or favor, and those laws that are not for the public welfare should be changed to meet present conditions. Fifth—Any new radical laws should have the fullest consideration, 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 dishonesty or crime and any business for which the payment of a license is required should have the full protection of the government under which it operates, within its legal rights. Seventh—I do not believe in so burdening the city with indebtedness, causing excessive increase in taxation, as to discourage new-comers to invest their money in homes here, or discourage wage earners in their ambition 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. Frank L.

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 lands. 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-earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person to whose attention this announcement comes. It offers an opportunity for you to invest a large or small sum in a same, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large oil lots and an interest in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit-sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil as well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have been sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investors will have the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells, to sell their land for just as much or more. We have only one thousand shares in all, (each share consists of eight lots, being one-fourth of an acre,) therefore the profit for each share will be large. The following illustration will show the profit each investor will receive out of a certain number of barrels at the present price of oil: Should our first well prove to be a 5,000 barrel producer, then each share of eight lots will receive $150 a month and should the first four wells produce 20,000 barrels, then each share of eight lots will receive $600 a month. CERTAINLY, NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER BEEN OF FERED THE PUBLIC BEFORE You probably have neglected many a money-making opportunity but don't neglect this one, it means your fortune, and is right within your reach.
