Mayor Fred Eaton was the first mayor to place men in the Fire Department. Prior to Snyder segregating the Negro in a separate Engine Company and in an engine house where they would all be to themselves, we had the following Colored Firemen: W. W. Glenn, who was stationed where there was no color-line. Miso Engine House No. 4; Fireman Webb, who worked out of Chemical No. 1, and Fireman Bright, who was a driver of the same company. It was left to Snyder to hearken to the objection of the close and intimate association necessarily brought about by dwelling under the same roof, sleeping there, to "jimcrow" the Negroes in a company and company house to themselves. C. C. Flint, G. W. Hawkins and L. C. McClinton composed a committee representing Colored voters and proceeded against the segregation of the Colored firemen. Mayor Snyder was actuated by the same identical motive in giving the Negro an Engine House to themselves, that the advocates of separate schools have who wish to "jimcrow" our Public Schools. M. P. Snyder was the first mayor of Los Angeles to advocate and establish "jimcrowism" of the South in the public institutions of the State.

Conditions Under Snyder and Now Not Comparable
When Snyder was mayor of this city there was something slightly over two dozen Negros on the city payroll, today we have the following apportionment of Negros employed in City's public service:
Power Department—6 Negroes
Police—15 Negroes
Engineer's Monthly and Weekly—143 Negroes
Janitors—10 Negroes
Playground—8 Negroes
Parks—25 Negroes
Street replacing—10 Negroes
Fire—8 Negroes
And there are others. For instance, Sergeant A. Hill received the appointment from Mayor Woodman as the Harbor Watchman. It is not true that Mayor Woodman intentionally slights any one, but we all do know that he is now a very busy man with the business of the city to which is added the City's Defense in time of war and the making of proper provisions for a vast amount of economic affairs contingent on a state of war. He can be depended on to treat the race with justice. He is a native of old New England that produced a Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison and a Charles Sumner.

Study the figures furnished here and verify them, the best way to nail lies is to confront them with facts.
Facts vs. Gossip.
Under the Charter the office of Mayor, of the city of Los Angeles is non-partisan.
However fortunately or unfortunately, the two most prominent candidates for Mayor of Los Angeles are representatives of the two great political parties. Hon. M. P. Snyder, a registered Democrat, and the Hon. Frederic T. oWodman, a registered Republican.
There can be no question in the mind of any honorable, right thinking, sane Colored citizen as to which party or candidate for Mayor he should support now, and vote for on May 1st —which should be Mayor Frederic T. Woodman.
No truer sentiment has ever been uttered than that of our great Frederic Douglass, when he said: "The Republican Party is the ship, all else the sea."
Senator Vardaman, a few days ago in the United States Senate said, "If it is necessary every Negro in the South will be lynched. The 15th Amendment ought to be wiped out."
Mayor Woodman's opponent, the Honorable M. P. Snyder, a North Carolinian, a registered Democrat, is said to have appointed the first Colored firemen and policemen in Los Angeles. The records of the Fire and Police Departments show and prove the statement untrue. The records of the Fire Department show that Sam. Haskins, Hiram Webb, L. L. Bright and Officer Glenn were members of the Los Angeles Fire Department and were not appointed by ex-mayor Snyder. The records of the Police Department show that Bob Stewart and Joe Green were members of the police force before ex-mayor Snyder's time.
The records of the Fire Department of Los Angeles show that Mayor Snyder did take all of the Colored firemen working in the several fire houses out of the fire houses and segregate them away out on Loma Drive. The Colored citizens know too well what a Democratic Mayor means, to be beguiled by the smooth talk of paid workers.

There were more than 20,000 Colored private soldiers in the Spanish-American War. They served under Colored officers, commissioned by a Republican President, Wm. McKinley. Frederic T. Woodman was born at Concord, N. H., educated in free public mixed schools, and at Albany, N. Y., his grandfather gave six sons to his country and to liberty. Five are sleeping on Southern battlefields, one, Mayor Woodman's father, came back from the Four Years War.
Today, under the regime of Mayor Woodman, 365 Colored citizens are employed by the city of Los Angeles.
Frederic T. Woodman is the one man in recent history of Los Angeles on whom the Colored citizens can rely to administer justice, and to help the development of our civic betterment.
In Mayor Woodman, we have a steadfast and loyal friend whose every act in the past has been characterized by the loftiest ideals of equity and justice. Since he has assumed the high office and exacting duties of Chief Executive of Los Angeles, no Colored man has approached him with a right and just cause but has been received with the utmost courtesy and his pleas have been given every consideration.

up to his time at this school. Finishing there he took up a postgraduate course in philosophy at Boston University. After leaving this school he joined the Washing, D. C., conference. He pastored in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Arkansas. His last charge before coming to Los Angeles was at Wesley Chapel, Little Rock, Ark. While pastoring there he taught philosophy in Philander Smith college, a conference school. The committee of Wesley Chapel of this city, who was authorized to select a pastor, scoured the country, took in consideration some of the "biggest" men in the country, but he above all others was selected, with the feeling that of the many he was the most capable. The Forum feels itself honored in being able to present him to the public Sunday.

THE EXODUS OF THE NE
GRO FROM THE SOUTH
By Rev. A. P. Shaw
At the Forum, Sunday, April 29, 1917.
Rev. A. P. Shaw, the very capable pastor of Wesley Chapel, has been invited by the program committee to address the Forum on this vital subject from personal observation and first-hand information. For those and others who would care for an introduction, we will let you know something of the calibre of this notable character. To begin with, he is a native of the commonwealth of Mississippi, the home of the Colored U. S. Senators B. K. Bruce and Hiram Revels—also of Jno. R. Lynch, M. C., Jas. Hill and others of the Hametic tribe, men of national fame. He has seen his 37th winter and is an alumnus of Rust University at Holly Springs, Miss. After finishing at Rust, he attended Gammons Theological Seminary at Atlanta, Ga. By the way, he made the highest average during the course ever attained
er C. Phillips is receiving a strong support from all classes for a seat in the City Council, and no doubt will come in under the wire as one of the winners at Tuesday's primaries. In selecting men as public officials the fact should never be overlooked that those who serve us best are those who are acquainted with the conditions which exist, among the masses, and as a result thereof are able at all times to voice their sentiment and stand for their needs in such office. Peter Phillips is one of the common every day citizens who appreciates all of these things. He has been honored time and again by the citizens, who have elected him to the Assembly and having so faithfully served them in that capacity the people should with one accord say. Well done, come up higher. Vote for him for the City Council.
HON. FREDRIC T. WOODMAN
VERY SPECIAL
It is not often that we make any personal appeals through these columns for obvious reasons, but in this instance, owing to enforced absence from the city, and having been associated in the State Legislature for three months with the Hon. Henry H. Lyons and Peter C. Phillips and learning even more of their keen interest on behalf of the plain, common, every day citizen, we are asking our many readers who reside in the city of Los Angeles to give their support to these gentlemen for the City Council at Tuesday's primaries, as they are absolutely worthy in every respect of your confidence and support.

Edwards put itself on record as
one of the most progressive
women's clubs in this city.
Last Friday morning at the

fancy and art work within so few
months.

Truly a more beautiful layout could not be found in the most pretentious Japanese Art Store in Los Angeles.

PROF. WILKINS, HEAD OF THE WILKINS SCHOOL OF MUSIC, GETS UNEXPECTED RECOGNITION
As is announced in another column of this paper, Prof. Vonstein of the Vonstein School of Music, after visiting his former pupil, Mr. Wilkins, was so greatly impressed with Mr. Wilkins' work as a musician that he is willing to permit Mr. Wilkins to adopt his system and make the Wilkins school an actual part or branch of the Vonstein Academy of Music and upon graduation the Wilkins pupils will receive Vonstein certificates. In fact, Mr. Vonsteine has offered to back Mr. Wilkins in his effort to any extent and in any way.
HER INITIAL RECITAL
The initial pupils' recital given at the studio of Miss Hart Sunday afternoon to a capacity audience, is reported a brilliant success.
Miss Hart is doing excellent work in the music realm as was demonstrated upon this and every occasion where she or her pupils appear in concert or recital.
What the Churches are Doing

PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E.
CHURCH
Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor
Sunday closed the Union revival meetings. Three services were enjoyed by large congregations. Dr. A. P. Shaw preached at the afternoon service and there were two conversions. The C.Gerritt lectured to the congregation on Sunday night on the subject of the proper care of the teeth and mouth. The lecture was a part of the program on the observance of National Negro health week. The choir continues to thrill the congregations from time to time and the air of hospitality which characterizes this church is becoming more and more marked.
The pastor will preach at both the morning and evening service on the coming Sunday and the door is always open to visitors.
BIRCH STREET CHRISTIAN
CHURCH
Fourteenth and Birch Rev. Hopper, Pastor
Rev Hopper preached a strong sermon on "Faith and Works." Jas 2.14.1 Faith without works is dead. Evening subject was the "Family Name of God's Children." Acts 11.20. The morning subject next Sunday will be "The Right State of the Heart," and at evening, "Divine Providence."
MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Third and Traction Avenue
Pastor. Rev. F. H. Davis
Sunday morning at 10:15 the Sunday School rendered a beautiful little concert. At 11 o'clock the pastor spoke from a series of sermons on the ten commandments. All that attended were inspired and benefited. At 5 p. m the Get Acquainted Literary Club had a most excellent meeting and had a most helpful discussion on the subject of the people getting together and being neutral. Those who do not attend these inspiring meetings are missing a great literary uplift. At 7 p. m the B Y P U met. At 8 o'clock Rev. Riddles preached a wonderful sermon. His subject was, "The Burning Bush."
The meetings are being well attended. All are welcome.
THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT
CHURCH OF CHRIST
Rev. N. P. Greggs. Pastor
Both services at the People's Independent Church of Christ Sunday were up to the usual high standard. The pastor took as his theme in the evening, "Recening and Giving," the following the example of Christ when upon earth When Christ took simple things of nature as illustrations and brought forth a useful lesson of truth. So did Rev Greggs take as illustrations two lakes. One located in Minnesota, the other in Utah. The one that flows on and on emptying into other waters, beautifying the trees and foliage on its banks, as it passes, and in the end becoming a large body of water, where great steam ships sail on her bosom. The other lake gives up none of her water. No grass adorns her banks. Not even a bird sails over her waters. As these lakes are, so are people. One class living for self, the other class living for others. He that saves his life loses it, as the Great Salt Lake has lost all power to even a spray of grass on her banks.
We all are receiving rivers of blessings every day. Let us pass them on
LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE
GATIONAL CHURCH
The usual good services were held throughout the day on last Sunday. The Sunday School continues to grow in interest and attendance. The pastor spoke at both services to appreciative audiences. The morning topic was "Seeing Jesus," the evening, "I am debtor." Rom. 1:14. On next Sunday at the morning service, Dr. L. Stovall will address us along the lines of health. Every health loving man and woman, boy and girl should hear this address, by one of the city's foremost physicians. The evening service will be under the auspices of the Missionary Society of the church. Christian Endeavor. 7 p. m., topic "Missionary Opportunities in Latin America." Isa. 60:1-5. Mrs. Hawkins, leader. A cordial welcome to all.
FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH
Rev. B. C. Robeson, S.T.B., Pastor
Zion observed National Negro Health Day last Sunday instead of the regular religious services. This movement for the betterment of the Race's health was begun under the leadership of our lamented Dr. Booker T. Washington, and is now generally observed throughout the country. Dr. W. C. Gordon occupied the pulpit and discoursed the topic of health. He specifically discussed tuberculosis or consumption. He emphasized the necessity of fresh air by night and sunshine by day in sleeping apartments. He decried the folding bed, because folding beds do not allow of ventilation or the sunning of bedding. He concluded with the admonition "That it is better to have an open window than an open grave." Zion is in deep sorrow this week. Last Saturday, April 21, 1917. Louise D. Bynum, a faithful, devout and zealous member and Sunday School teacher, passed away. Death was due to acute indigestion. Her husband, Rew. W. M. Bynum, was once the pastor of Zion. He died at his post over ten years ago. He left her in good circumstances, and she remained single. She will be missed at
Zion, as she was one of her pillars.
Her place in the choir was vacant.
Someone so thoughtfully draped her
chair with a purple wreath. May she
rest in peace and sweet be her re-
ward. She will be buried Thursday
from the church.

STATE RALLY AT WESLEY M
E. CHURCH
All this week there has been waged a financial war between the states at Wesley M. E. church. On Monday night Texas led off with a splendid program and a good collection. On Tuesday night, Dr. N. P. Greggs of the Independent Church led the forces of Tennessee to victory over Arkansas, Kentucky and Virginia, the Tennessee collection alone falling only a few cents below the standard set by Texas the night before. Wednesday night was California night. Reports of the same will appear in our next write up. Sunday, April 29, is to be a great day. Then the decisive battle will be fought. Texas is determined to raise as much as the other states combined. Sunday night will decide. Come and see and hear. The pastor will preach two of his best sermons Sunday. At 11 a.m. his subject will be "The Spirit of Christian Service." The evening subject will be "Walk About Zion."
We extend a cordial invitation to all of the people in the city to be present at one of the services on Sunday and help your native state make an excellent showing. We are in the midst of a great financial effort to reduce our debt. Come and help us Save our very valuable property to the Race and pay off the last cent of debt on it. All are welcome.

THE BAPTIST MINISTERS'
UNION
The Los Angeles, Baptist Union meets regular every Monday morning at the Second Baptist church. The meetings are well attended by the members. During the last three months Dr. R. D. Arline has been lecturing on Homeletists. We are anticipating in the next three months having subjects discussed which will benefit the Race our denomination and also our religious life. Strangers and friends are always welcome at our meetings. The Baptist Union voted in our last meeting to dispense with our meeting on the fourth Monday and meet with the Interdenominational Alliance
Rev. J. Logan Craw. Pastor
At the morning service the sermon was the morning meeting of the pastor, there was an accession to membership. The endearment meeting was enjoyed by both young and old from 7 to 8 p.m. At the evening service Dr. Eugene C. Nelson delivered a practical and masterly address on the subject, "Health Weed and Health Weak." The pastor will preach both morning and evening in the Sabbath services coming. You are welcome. The "A B O. U T. C" club met at the church Tuesday evening and elected the following officers for the ensuing six months. Miss Marguerite L. James, president; Roy Sheely, vice-president; Miss Alma E. Dreyfus, secretary; Miss Leola McKinney, secretary; Miss May McKinney, treasurer; W. L. Strong, sergeant at arms; Miss Della Dogan, first volunteer critic. The president appointed as committee on program, Miss Leola McKinney, Mary Stanton, Etta Morris and Ruth Woodruff. Other committees will be appointed later. The next meeting will be a social meeting at the parsonage, Monday evening, May 7. Mrs. Lillian J. Craw, the pastor's wife and general superintendent of this club, will leave the next day for four weeks' resuscitation with parents and relative in Topeka, Kansas, her old home.
The Ladies Aid Society met Tuesday night and made a donation of twenty-five ($25,000) dollars to the Easter Rally. Next meeting on Tuesday night, May 15. The second Sunday in May winds up the efforts on our church indebtedness for this annual conference year. And every member who has not yet contributed to this very successful endorsee is urged to do something before or on this Sunday of May 13.
FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH
A soul stirring gospel message entitled "The Efficacy of Prayer," was earnestly presented by Rev. Dickerson last Sunday morning at the church. The salient points so clearly brought out touched the hearts of those present and a general testimonial meeting followed. Rev. Dickerson through conscientious effort and close application to his calling is making rapid strides towards a successful ministerial career. The evening service was widely taken care of by the tried and true veteran Dr. Tillman. "Steady progress" sums up the situation in reference to the Sunday School and the B. Y. P. U. This condition is being attained by the faithful followers who are always found at their respective places in these organizations. With an increase of attendance and interest of the rest of the congregations, much more could be accomplished. The Young Women's Missionary Society is still calling to their cooked food and apron sale May 5 at 124 Dayton street. The trustees are expressing gratfulness towards their members for the loyalty shown during the last quarter and are very optimistic concerning the coming rally. The clubs are meeting regularly now and an earnest appeal is made to
all members, particularly those joining since the first of the year, to be identified with one of these fighting units.
METROPOLITAN BAPTIST
CHURCH
Waverly Drive near Pasadena Ave.
The services last Sunday were well attended and of exceptional inspiration. The pastor's sermon at the morning service was a very pointed appeal to men and women to be strong, steadfast and conscientious in all their dealings.
The B. Y. P. U. session at 6:30 was very interesting. A paper by Mrs. W. C. Williams and a solo by Mrs. R. C. Calmore were well received.
After a sermon on "Labor and Reward," there were three additions to the church, who were joyfully received.
The services next Sunday will be as usual in the morning. Sunday School at 9:45, and preaching by the pastor at 11 o'clock, a solo by Miss E. Grey, good singing by the choir. The Women's Rally Club and the Strong Men's club will meet in the social hall and church respectively at 5 o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
At 8 o'clock p. m. the choir will offer the following program in sacred concert: 'Organ voluntary, Miss Dnervia Hart's; song, choir and congregation; prayer and chant of the Lord's Prayer, choir and congregation; responsive reading by pastor and congregation; song, "Dwelling in Beulah Land."

SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES
The people of Scott Chapel listened to a very searching message last Sabbath at 11 a.m. the subject, "Our Veneered Claims Inquired Into." - At the evening service Pastor Kinchen preached on "The Flag and the Cross."
The Woman's Home Missionary Society met at the parsonage on Thursday evening. The influence of this society is being felt in the community for real good.
The Queen Ester Circle, Mrs. E Monroe Beavers, superintendent, and Miss Zenobia Duncan, president, met at the church on Monday evening, making preparation for their public installation and the entertainment which is to be given next Tuesday night.
Pastor Kinchen will occupy the pulpit at both services Sunday. In the evening he will preach on "Christ and His Little Ones Sold Out for a Dollar per—Flate and Dance and Drink—Were You There?"
St. Paul Baptist Church
Services were good last Sunday. Rev. Archie Williams of Mt. Zion Baptist Church preached for us both morning and evening. Every department of the church is looking forward to the arrival of the new pastor. The

Who is furnishing the large "slush fund" the much campaign work to so many of tender years, political acumen and no memory of facts.
Don't be deceived, the Race absolutely owes ex-der nothing. Snyder owes them and will continue Race, who kept him in office for four years.
The streets have been flooded with little handbringing the mythical record of ex-mayor Snyder. In ever the data given is in error. Snyder was not "thrice this city. He was elected twice not serving "6" years but four years, the two years more he wanted to defeated. This campaign has been remarkable things, but nothing more so that the number of brilliant minds have gone off half-cocked.
One of the brilliant Colored Snyder orators are one of his speeches intended to be for Snyder that he yet paid for a political speech. If the "speeches" he for Snyder is a specimen of his efforts along these would not be surprised that in the future he will receive no pay, but that he will be suppressed.
Do you know one thing which you can easily view California Eagle has not charged a single penny for appearing in its columns of this paper advocating the of Mayor Woodman, not a single cent. What does it mean after the election is over and Frederic T. the best mayor this city ever had is for two years ning selected his own Commissions the machinery ormment. The Eagle can demand for the Race those has wanted and wanted badly for the last twenty get them for the Race.
It is absolutely indefensible to attach the name to circulars without their consent. It only shows the condition of the Colored end of the Snyder campaign see floating about with lots of other jetsam, the name J. G. Edmonds, B. C. Robeson, H. D. Prowd; Mr. Mrs. M. L. Gottschalk, Howard Folkes, Attorney Barnett, Prof. E. L. Chew and T. J. Hooper, who authority for the use of their names and we are gener stood to be for Woodman. Such tactics are not o but they are absolutely dishonest.
Who is furnishing the large "slush fund" that gives so much campaign work to so many of tender years, unmatured political acumen and no memory of facts.
Don't be deceived, the Race absolutely owes ex-mayor Snyder nothing. Snyder owes them and will continue to owe the Race, who kept him in office for four years.
The streets have been flooded with little handbills eulogizing the mythical record of ex-mayor Snyder. In every instance the data given is in error. Snyder was not "thrice" mayor of this city. He was elected twice not serving "6" years, he served but four years, the two years more he wanted to fill he was defeated. This campaign has been remarkable for several things, but nothing more so that the number of brilliant Negro minds that have gone off half-cocked.
One of the brilliant Colored Snyder orators avers during one of his speeches intended to be for Snyder that he was never yet paid for a political speech. If the "speeches" he is making for Snyder is a specimen of his efforts along these lines, we would not be surprised that in the future he will not only receive no pay, but that he will be suppressed.
Do you know one thing which you can easily verify: The California Eagle has not charged a single penny for any matter appearing in its columns of this paper advocating the retention of Mayor Woodman, not a single cent. What does this mean? It means after the election is over and Frederic T. Woodman, the best mayor this city ever had is for two years mayor, having selected his own Commissions the machinery of city government. The Eagle can demand for the Race those things it has wanted and wanted badly for the last twenty years and get them for the Race.
It is absolutely indefensible to attach the names of people to circulars without their consent. It only shows the desperate condition of the Colored end of the Snyder campaign when we see floating about with lots of other jetsam, the names of Revs. J. G. Edmonds, B. C. Robeson, H. D. Prowd, Mme. Spivey, Mrs. M. L. Gottschalk, Howard Folkes, Attorney Leroy D. Barnett, Prof. E. L. Chew and T. J. Hooper, who gave no authority for the use of their names and we are generally understood to be for Woodman. Such tactics are not only wrong, but they are absolutely dishonest.

The California Eagle unsolicited publishes this short sketch of the responsible manager of the Woodman campaign. Mr. Gelich is a veteran political manager and has always been implicitly trusted by those who have placed in his hands the fullest responsibility for their political fortunes. To our knowledge since 1912, at a time when the Progressive party was in the making no man more than Mr. Gelich who had constantly in hand the tedious detail work of the several brilliant campaigns of the period intervening between that date and 1915, was responsible for enduring success. Only quite recently a tribute was paid to the well known managerial qualities of the man, by District Attorney Lee Woolwine, who entrusted to the care of Mr. Gelich the management of his campaign. Mayor Woodmans' campaign is being well taken care of by Mr. Gelich and his able corps of assistants, and we have every reason to believe that Mayor Woodman will be triumphantly elected in the primaries of next Tuesday. Cool, calculating and resourceful when left largely to his own devices, Mr. Gelich usually wins out in the finals.
WHAT WOODMAN'S ELECTION MEANS TO THE RACE
The election of Mayor Woodman means first that the people of this great and growing city are not willing to take a single backward step. It means for our city more smoke-stacks, more industries and employment of more men and women. It means honest business, civic decency and no disposition to encourage and foster vice. Personally it means a qualified man for mayor who has no inherited race prejudice, who stands for that variety of American citizenship which includes you and me. Mayor Woodman has given the race in Los Angeles signal evidences of his appreciation, or his genuine appreciation for the intellectual worth of the Negro, when he appointed one of that race, Attorney Macbeth, the orator of the day at South Park, on the Fourth of July, a year ago. He did not pick out this eloquent Negro to simply orate to members of his own race, he sent him where his ability, with which he already was well acquainted, would be more generally known and he would speak officially for the city of Los Angeles. There were thousands of white citizens in that great gathering on our national natal day who proudly declared afterwards that they had enjoyed the best oration of all the city, and there were but a few members of the speaker's own race present, but each and every one of them felt pured and inspired. During the term of office Mr. Woodman will surely fill, the result of the election, we will have accorded to us, individually and collectively, every right of a citizen and a man. We ask no more and we demand no less.
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 "public 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.
THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE
EVER LOYAL
There is absolutely no question at any time as to the loyalty of the Colored citizens 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.
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 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 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.
We must stand for human progress, or we will get left in the long run. The people are satisfied with the efficiency of Mayor Woodman. They know too that when he took charge he found a councilmanic board, and members of the City Commission who were not of his selection, and he has been able to make a remarkable record for good and satisfactory government: The people know this and Mayor Woodman having made good with handicaps, will when elected by the people demonstrate just what he can do to make Los Angeles what it should be, the foremost business center in the West.

NOTICE
The Macon Dye Works has changed hands. The new management will not be responsible for any bills made or contracted for by the former owners after the publication of this notice.
The report has been circulated that Mrs. L. D. Bynum and myself were poisoned by something eaten at the home of Mrs. Chaney Jones last Friday evening—I wish to say this is nothing at all but idle gossip, and very unjust to Mrs. Jones—
My illness cannot be attributed to that home, because I did not eat—There were others who ate and had not pain—In an hour like this when gloom fills all hearts, let us not intensify the sorrow of any soul by such false thrusts—"For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile."
REV. B. C. ROBESON.
LOVE'S TRIBUTE
The grim monster death entered the ranks Saturday. April 21, 1917 and robbed this community of one of its brightest and loveliest characters. Mrs. Louisa D. Bynum. A woman crowned with Christian graces. A life radiant with loving deeds. An influence hallowed and benign.
This was not a ripe sheaf that was garnered for she had reached that stage in life when reason is salted with experience; when life is purified by sorrow; when faith is strengthened by answered calls. Ready was she to assist many souls struggling beneath the burdens of life when nature with some rudeness, in her touch in the solitude of her chamber disengaged the vital cord and she passed serenely to the great beyond.
It was a blessing to live in a community touched by her exemplary life. She seemed to say when she met you, "I will gladly help you if I can." A faithful soldier, an earnest Christian, a cosmopolitan character. Steal if you will the alabaster white of the lily, the blended hues of the rose, the serene brightness of a star, the clear, dazzling light of the sun, the taintless beauty of the pearl and diamond, and yet still more is needed to render due homage to such a life.
Los Angeles, you have lost a true and tried friend—a citizen of the highest type. Her body rests in yon graveyard, but the life she lived and the death she died will serve to fortify your bulwarks as long as one spark of life remains in the breast of a mortal soul. Her life, deeds and acts can never die. Let us drop a rose of appreciation upon her tomb. Let us bow in humble reverence before the Sovereign will.
Now through our tears unbidden course the truth. And though we grieve because we miss her we would not call her back nor would we seek.
The hidden things of God to know
*Tis ours to trust the will that must be done.* And know He gives His beloved sleep:
*Sake in the arms of Jesus* 'God sown son. Now rests a faithful shepherd of His sheep.*

Mrs. Mabel Trueman of Hot Springs, Arkansas, is visiting in San Diego. Mr. Senegal is in San Diego for a short stay. Miss Emma Mulholland, who is visiting in Ventura, sends her best regards and hearty wishes to the members of the B. Y. P. U. of Mt. Zion Baptist church, of which she was secretary. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Well, there would be less divorces if some men would try this idea. Miss Annie and Miss Exonia Mulholland are contemplating a visit to Los Angeles. Their presence will be greatly missed at Mt. Zion.
Mr. A. L. Brown is the newly elected president of the B. Y. P. U.
Mr. S. P. Johnson, president of the B. Y. P. U. convention, came to pay an official visit to the B. Y. P. U. on last Sunday. He gave the B. Y. P. U. a most intellectual talk, and many, many good thoughts were brought out for consideration. On Monday some of the members of Mt. Zion entertained Mr. Johnson with an auto ride. Mrs. M. A. Hayden gained the notoriety of Barney Oldfield for driving and turning corners.
The Carnation Club have again resumed their art meeting, which was entertained Tuesday evening by Mrs. C. E. Norwood. Mrs. V. L. Goodwin gave the ladies a lesson in hair dressing, which was very much appreciated, all present enjoyed a most delightful evening. The next Art meeting will be at the home of Mrs. King on Greely Ave., next Tuesday evening.
On Sunday afternoon the missionary society will have a sermon preached. The A. M. E. choir has been asked to furnish the music. The proceeds will be given towards helping to furnish the reception room at the Old Folk's Home.
Mrs. Lucy Davis of New Orleans is visiting with Mrs. L. L. Alexander on Commonwealth Ave. Mrs. Allie Henry is on the sick list. Mother's Day program will be rendered at the A. M. E. Methodist church the 2nd Sunday in May. Mrs. Hodge is on the sick list. Mrs. C. Williams who has been confined to her bed for two months is very much improved. We hope to have her out with us soon. Mrs. M. T. Laws, who underwent an operation at the residence of her mother in Los Angeles, for tonsilitis, is reported much improved.
The czar was dethroned in the poppy city last Wednesday night when the Elites of San Diego were hosts to a swell ball and we must say it was an Eagle nest on the Island.
RIVERSIDE
The Second Baptist church was the scene of two fine services last Sunday. Pastor Reed seemed to have been in unusual high spirits. He held his audience at rapt attention at he talked from Mark 2:1, "And it was noised that he was in the house." Taking as his subject, "Jesus As a Drawing Card."
Beginning by asking the question, "is the present day slackness in church attendance due to Jesus losing his influence as a drawing card? or is the world looking for something which excites the passion more, or something more entertaining in its estimation than the name of Jesus?" Answering his own question in the negative he proceeded, saying that the name of Jesus has as much magnetic power as ever; that the present condition in reference to small attendance at church is due to there being more of something else being in the house than Jesus. That when it was noised that Jesus was in the house, "so many were gathered together, so that there was no room in the house, no, not even about the door." That the name of Jesus today is not the heart of most sermons, instead, we have long essays drolly read from the pulpit, with hardly the name of Jesus mentioned.
The concert given on last Friday night by the Young Ladies' Missionary Society of the Second
Baptist church, was a decided success. Each participant played her part well. Miss May Goodwin, president of the society, is to be commended for her generalship manifested in getting up the play.
SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES
Revival? Yes!-one of subtraction and not of addition, until better conditions in churches.
Easy to get kind of religion welcomed by drinking and dancing folks--Is it conversion?
What's the difference in drinking and dancing at a swell society affair on Monday night, and doing the same at the cluds at Watt?
Does the presence of business men, some of whom are church leaches, purify the atmosphere of a social ball where drinking and dancing are a past time?
Would it be too severe to charge the mothers who took their daughters to a combination of a social hell, with contributing to the delinquency of their children?
Are those who paid a dollar for their meals, drinks, dance, and a near approach to the knee dance, any better than the performers?
Hear Rev, Kinehen at Scott Chapel on Sunday evening as he answers the above questions, and rip the social vipers who would even sell our Lord's Church.

VOTE AGAINST FARMER FOR THE COUNCIL
This city could ill afford to have in its membership a man of the proven caliber of Bert L. Farmer, who by his action when in the Assembly introduced a resolution which was a deliberate slap of humiliation to a race. If he is so narrow and small this the city council is no place for him, so do not fail to register your protest by voting against Bert L. Farmer.
Wednesday, April 18th, the Allen Allensworth Club was royally entertained by Mrs. Lambert at her pretty little home. On account of illness, the president, Mrs. C. Hulbert, was absent, and the vice-president, Mrs. Sunshine Miller, presided in her absence. The afternoon was spent in a splendid business session; refreshments of the rarest variety were served by Mrs. Lambert, and a short address, subject, "Why Woodman Should Be Our Next Mayor," was given by Mrs. L. B. Bass.

NEGROES PLAN S. F. REGI
MENT OF OWN RACE
W. A. Hayne, attache of the quartermaster's office at the Presidio, and who served during the Spanish war with the "fighting" Tenth Cavalry in the capacity of private, corporal, sergeant and sergeant major, is organizing a Negro infantry regiment for service in the present war with Germany. According to Hayne's plans the regiment, four companies of which have already been signed up, will have regular army officers in the capacity of colonel and lieutenant-colonel. The balance of the officers are to be Negroes.
The majority of the men who have signified their intention of joining the regiment are from San Francisco and many have had previous experience in the army. It is understood that two officers of the regular army, well known here, have applied for transfer to the command of the regiment, which will soon be ready to be mustered into the service of Uncle Sam.

Negro Offfcers Barred?
Dear Editor:—
My understanding from all I have read in the papers concerning the physical preparations now being made by the War Department which has the approval of the President, is that no Negro will get recognition from the present administration in the conduct of the war, the selective conscription provides for a ninety days' camp school for the instruction of men who are to be officers of the volunteer or conscripted armies.
No call has been made for Negro troops and no opportunity will be given negro men to make application to enter this school. The red tape employed by the measure afford ample ways and means to the examining board to reject any man and I doubt not but that this will be the practice when it comes down to applications by men of the race. I fear that all that talk that has been reported in the press during the past few years concerning the doing away with the negro in the army by men in high and exalted positions at the seat of the national government is made effective in the bill now offered the congress for adoption by the machinery of the administration, our only chance will be by the adoption of the old rule that has been used in all past wars, in which men have not been forced to arms but have volunteered their service when the country has needed them and out of whose ranks has come the officers to command them. With all white men in the seective 90 day schooling camp, who shall be the officers of the volunteers? There will be no chance for our men to obtain commissions as lieutenants, captains, majors, lieutenant-colonels or colonels. In France the black soldiers have been given a chance, they have their own officers and know that they will be rewarded for special services in which they distinguish themselves for bravery, heroism and extraordinary conduct in time of imminent danger. This will not be if the rule of officering negro troops with white men as in the case of the four colored regiments now in the army. Right here in Los Angeles little or no attention is paid to the splendid negro citizenry in arranging for the Home Guard. They seem to forget that we are on the map. Will we be remembered by and by when another San Juan must be taken? Then why not give us a square deal?

Frank J. Horner
Candidate for the City Council
In announcing my candidacy for the council I state my platform to be:
"The development of industry, the promotion of the interest of the man who works, and economy on little things as well as big.
The expansion of the City's commerce and the illimination of heavy taxes for unnecessary improvements.
Efficiecy and practical economy."
Having been a workingman all my life, the interest of the man who works will receive the first consideration from me. I will not be unfair in any act to favor the workingman; but shall see that his interest is not abused because he has not the time, the money or the knowledge to care for it himrefl.
As a lifetime observer of the civic management of this municipality I have noted necessity of more efficient management and application of practical economics. I therefore, welcome the support of all who are in favor of efficient management and practical economy.

Why I Ask Your Support
I have been engaged in constructive work and a taxpayer in Los Angeles for 25 years—building and selling homes. I favor an efficient, modern municipal government for Los Angeles, and with proper support of my plans there must come a lower tax rate. I favor District representation in the City Council. I represent no faction nor any corporate interests, but believe in justice for all.

STOP AND THINK
Did you ever stop to think how many men and women we have representing us in the various enterprises in the commercial world? Well, it's time for you to wake up, find out, and then assist to put the fellow in the swim who is equipped with the necessary tools, ability and stick-to-itiveness, to represent you in the field that is short of men. The young man who possesses these qualities is H. Coleman, of 1406 Central Ave., a late graduate of Tuskegee, and is asking that you give him a chance to represent you in the field of shoemaking. No where is no way for you to jump to your old excuse, "I didn't know w ehad such a man in town,' for I have told you, and if you appreciate first class work and the assisting of your race, you will drop in and see him.

SIDNEY P. DONES AS CANDIDATE FOR THE COUNCIL
In years Sidney P. Dones is but a boy. He has not had time in point of years to acquire all of the virtues or vices that there are in life, however, as a very young man Mr. Dones has been fairly successful as a business man. Now inasmuch as Mr. Dones has courage enough to get head over heels in the race for City Council, let's get together and give him our support down here in the 74th district.
Some of the members of the present regime in the councilmanic circle are accused of stealing and doing all sorts of things, but "they should worry."
Some of our good people are saying they can't possibly support Mr. Dones for various reasons, but chiefly on the ground that he is not the right man, without being able to give you any reason as to why he is not the right man. Now, friends, whatever your objections are, let's put up the hammer and support Mr. Dones just for this one time. It will serve as a wedge and if he doesn't make good, never, no never again will we lift our pencil in behalf of this spunky Black man who dares to float Dones' banners, same as the white folk, and think of it. has headquarters and branch headquarters and cards, circulars and even white folks boosting for him.
Don't forget, just vote for him this one time. The California Eagle Reporter. SENATOR H. H. LYONS FOR
SENATOR H. H. LYONS FOR
THE CITY COUNCIL.
To the great masses of the voters of the city of Los Angeles there has been no announcement for their suffrage in the pending councilmanic race that has been received with the enthusiasm and unanimous accord as the fact that our popular Senator is in the race for a seat in the city council. That he will have hearty support from all classes of our citizens and will be triumphantly nominated and elected, gods without saving, no man in public life in this great city and state has a better record for real service on behalf of the great masses than Senator Lyons. His name among them is a household word; they know him by his deeds and the people will rally to his support with a rare zeal and an undaunted enthusiasm and while the senator is absent attending his duties at Sacramento as a legislator, his many friends will not allow that as a handicap and are voluntarily doing yeoman service to acquaint all of the people with the fact that he is in the race and will roll up for him a record vote.
The Eagle has no hesitancy in commending the candidacy of Senator Lyons for the council and when he takes his seat in that body in the future as in the past the great masses of the people, regardless of race, color or status in life, will always have a friend at court.
Mark G. Bunce
Candidate for City Council
A SQUARE DEAL FOR ALL
[Name]
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.

Readers Attention!
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 sane, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large oil lots and an interest in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit-sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil as well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have 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 OFFERED THE PUBLIC BEFORE You probably have neglected many a money-making opportunity but dont neglect this one, it means your fortune, and is right within your reach. Seize it now. Write or call in person from 4:30 p. m. to 8 p. m. C. E. Patterson, 1446 So. San Pedro St., Los Angeles Cal., at once for our large prospectus, giving all the details with map showing location of our field, also let us know how many shares we shall reserve for you.
