Makes Weather ESTABLISHED 1874 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 Ma Rev. J. Logan Craw, the able, efficient and very successful pastor of historic Eighth and Towne Avenue First African Methodist Episcopal church, with the faithful membership of this metropolitan congregation has just raised in cash money a grand total of $1,456.91. This magnificent sum of money represents the result of a loyal-hearted people, who are working hard to get out of debt, and it came last Sunday when $231.07 was collected through "Gleanings," and added to $1,225.84 of Easter Day. From the receipts of this crowning effort and the unselfish sacrifice of these cosmopolitan and rue hearted members during his annual conference year the Church Street Bond Mortgage debt is cut down from $2,660 to the small amount of $1,400. And his means that $1,260 has been aid on the principal debt, all the interest paid up and every current expense met up to date. The small amount of $1,400 is all that is now owed on this magnificent $90,000 property valuation. The historic Eighth and Towne Ave. First A. M. E. Church, whose splendid people and successful pastor, Dr. Craw, are ringing things to pass as never as been done before. Only eight months of this annual conference year has gone, and every expense has been met, the membership miraculously increased, and $1,260 paid on the principal of the Street Bond debt. Only 1,400 is now the indebtedness a total against this connectional church of historic renown. Here we annual Thanksgiving service of the Grand United Order of odd Fellows was held last Sunday.

BUSBY, Secretary, 726 Clanton St. EDITOR OF THE EAGLE HAS NARROW ESCAPE The editor of The Eagle on last Sunday accepted the hospitality of our good friend, P. E. Alexander, for a drive to San Diego and return, and about 9:45 we pulled out for that place, accompanied by R. Hicks of Clanton st. We proceeded over the beautiful roads without incident until we reached a cross road just out of La Habra, about 25 miles south, when P. E. Alexander, who was driving his own car, noticed a heavy truck hurtling across the road ahead of us too late for him to stop. He tried his utmost to steer our car clear and that was the last that we remember, until awakened some hours later in the doctor's chair with him busily sewing a huge hole which we had received over our right eye, as a result of the collision. Messrs. Alexander and Hicks es- San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MAY 19, 1917 caped with minor bruises, the car was turned turtle, the windshield smashed as well as the top. We were placed aboard another car and sent to our home, where under the skillful care of Dr. B. A. Tarleton we are on our road to recovery. MRS. ESTELLE LAWTON LINDSEY The re-election of Mrs. Lindsey, that able advocate of a pure Democracy, is one of the certainties of the June election. By her tireless efforts in behalf of the common people, Mrs. Lindsey has proven her devotion to the cause of labor and established a record which will bear the test of ages. She is broad in her views, sympathetic in her nature and imbued with the spirit of humanity which impels her upon all occasions to advocate those measures which tend to ameliorate the con- V dition of the human family. The East Side is united in its support of Mrs. Lindsey for re-election. RE-ELECT W. A. ROBERTS A large and enthusiastic gathering of Colored voters assembled at 1162 East 12th street last Saturday evening and endorsed the candidacy of W. A. Roberts for re-election. Mr. Roberts was highly complimented for his advocacy of the humanitarian measures for which he has stood both as member of the city council and as member of the State Legislature. Every class of the laboring energetically for the re-election of Mr. Roberts. His record stands unimpeached as a labor advocate. Vote for W. A. Roberts. ANNUAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE OF THE G. U. O. OF O. F. Marching to the air of martial music from the hall on 8th and Wall streets, the three lodges of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, viz., Los Angeles Golden Rule and Sterling Light lodges made a fine showing on last Sunday afternoon as they wended their way to the historic 8th and Towne avenue church to hold their annual thanksgiving exercises. At the church they were joined by the three Households of Ruth and they, too, in their beautiful white uniforms made a highly creditable showing. The lodges formed in open order as the several hundred Ruthites marched into the church, and listened to the annual address which was delivered for the first time by a native son in the person of Mr. Earnest Russell of the firm of Russell & Conner, undertakers. Mrs. C. A. Bass represented the "Household of Ruth." Seated upon the rostrum were many of the leading clergymen and eminent Odd Fellows and Ruths of the city. Rev. Price preached the annual sermon. ANNUAL EXCHANGE OF WOMEN'S CLUBS A GROWING FEATURE The division of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in and around Los Angeles is setting a pace in hand craft, all sorts of art work, and literary development that will not be easily followed. Separated from New England the Middle and Southern States, California Club women are saying to their sisters in these other sections, "We are working for supremacy and unless you lead with greater rapidity we will pass you in the race of progressiveness." Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the Southern Division of the State Federation of Clubs held its annual exchange at the First A. M. E. church, 8th and Towne avenue. Among the clubs participating with charmingly decorated booths containing art and needle work of the choicest, most accurate and splendid designs, literary programs for each afternoon and evening, and refreshments of all kinds were the Helping Hand, Mrs. Blackshear - Waller in charge; Friday Morning Iroquois, Mrs. J. M. Edwards in charge; Tabernacle Art Guild, Mrs. Rosa Wooten, assisted by Mesdames F. L. Gordon and C. Lewis in charge; the Married Ladies' Art Guild, Mrs. I. Little, assisted by Mesdames Bowers and Patterson in charge; the Kensington Art Club, Mrs. Baldwin in charge; New Thought Club of Boyle Heights, Mrs. H. A. Blackwell, assisted Mesdames Lulu Randolph and Bruce in charge. The proceeds of the dinner served by the Allen Allensworth Club will go to the Old Folks Home, Sojourner Truth and the Day Nursery practical demonstration of efforts through women's clubs in this city were also in evidence. Mrs. E. Bartlett, who is in charge worked faithfully for the success of the exchange this year, and chief among the compliments being paid for this wonderful exhibit of women's activity goes to her at this time. It is pleasing to note that in Sacramento quite a few of our young men hold positions of public trust, and that they are filling the same with honor and credit. Mr. W. P. Taylor is a clerk in the Postoffice department and secretary of the local civil service board. He is energetic and freely gives his services to Racial organizations and is serving at this time as Deputy Grand Master of District Grand Lodge No. 33 of the G. U. O of O. F. Mr. E. D. Johnson also is in the employ of the Postoffice department as a carrier and fanks as one of the best carriers on the force. Mr. Johnson also is wholly unselfish and takes a lively interest, in the advancement of the Race. Not so young but a live one just the same is W. B. Peck, who is at present holding down the job as one of the police officers of the Capital City. Mr. Peck is an old timer and is an energetic worker along political lines and in deserving of recognition at all times. He makes an imposing appearance as an officer and the city would do well to make Officer Peck a permanent fixture. FOURTH ANNUAL RECITAL OF THE WILKINS SCHOOL OF MUSIC The Pupil's recital of the Wilkins School of Music is growing in interest and merit each year, and Tuesday evening last at T. M. A. Hall to a large and highly appreciative audience each number was hailed with increased enthusiasm until the very last quarter of that splendidly arranged program was heard from. The teachers of the Wilkins School of Music who share with him in the success of this last recital, are Mrs. Sidney P. Dones, violin; Mr. Edward T. Atkinson, vocal and Mme. E. J. Hughley, voice; Mrs. Eloise Bibb Thompson, drama, and Mr. W. M. T. Wilkins, piano porte. As was stated by Carl Bronson, Ray Hastings, Herr Von Stein and other distinguished visitors this particular demonstration of the musical ability of the race is one of the best signs of a brilliant future of the colored population west of the Rockies in the art of music. The numbers that called forth the greatest applause were the piano selections by Miss Lucille Banton, and Mr. Owen Troy, violinist, in fact every number and each pupil was at his or her best upon this occasion. Y. M. C. A. FOR COLORED PEOPLE IS PLANNED A Y. M. C. A. building for the exclusive use of colored people of Los Angeles is being erected under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. at Ninth and Hemlock streets. Ground was broken yesterday. The building will cost $5000 and will be equipped with a gymnasium, shower baths, an auditorium for religious and public meetings, and six dormitories. The present structure will be a temporary home, the plan being ultimately, it is announced, to erect an association plant that will cost, with equipment, $80,000. ALBERT B. CONRAD CANE DIDATE FOR CITY COUNCIL Receiving more than 11,000 votes at the recent primary race for the City Council on the strength of the popularity of his name and the long and creditable service he has rendered the city, Albert B. Conrad, the retiring city tax and license collector, has a right to expect he will be elected at the coming city election. Mr. Conrad's election to the council will bring to the legislative branch of the city government a man who is thoroughly in sympathy with the small taxpayer and one who has a complete fund of knowledge of the various city departments and the governmental machinery. He is fully equipped with experience in tax collecting and assessing and he has always given the little fellow a square deal. Conrad is a long time Republican, having served for years on the county committee and as secretary under some of the old stalwarts. He is a mining man and has won a respect for hard labor by experiencing it. He is a native son, a mineralogist, and a man of deep human sympathies. With Conrad in the council, anyone can feel at ease in carrying to him the problems that arise in municipal life. RACE NOTES It is said that within a few days the 15th Regiment Colored of New York will be mustered into the Federal service. Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, former collector of port of New York City was signally honored by his appointment as one of the committee of reception to meet the English and French war commission which visited that city this week. --- The Caucasian has not after all outdistanced the Negro with his airship. Far from it, Because a Colored man, L. A. Headen of 424 East 37th street, New York City, has with his areoplane invented a device which will sweep the seas of German submarines. *** The N. A. C. P. is in session at Washington, D. C., this week in what promises to be a memorable session. The Colored voters of Louisville, Ky., are making a herculean effort to elect a Colored man to the legislature and it seems possible that they might succeed in their undertaking. There are 287 Colored officers on the police force of Philadelphia, Pa. Governor Gunther of Colorado last week appointed Thomas Campbell as a Major for the provisional Colored troops of that state. *** The Colored men of Cleveland, who cleaned cars on the Big 4 R. R. struck for higher wages. The company immediately employed Colored women for the same work at the same wage. They are making good and will hold down the job. With both Liberia and Hayti severing diplomatic relations with Germany it certainly looks:—Dark. --- Miss Jeneatte Rankin, member of Congress, recently delivered an address on woman suffrage at Howard University. She advocated all women having the ballot, regardless of Race of Color. She was well received. A woman Mrs. A. J. Harper is about to open a first class and up to date department store in Harlem, New York City. Hurrah for our women; they are making real progress. It is estimated that there are more than 150,000 colored men employed in this county as street workers. M. S. S. What the Churches are Doing WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Juliana Streets Rev. A. P. Shaw, D.D., Pastor Mothers' Day was observed last Sunday with very impressive services. At 8 p.m. the pastor preached a very effective sermon on "Amusements." This was the sixth sermon series of sermons to young people. The pastor urged the young people to seek bodily exercise and amusements not only for their physical well-being but as an end. You may read the biography of all the world's worthy men and women and you will find that none of them have won their spurs by dancing and playing cards and attending theaters, and wasting their time. They have won by study, meditation, hard work and devotion to duty. Dancing, while not essentially harmful, is at best only child's and youth's play." Sunday will be Old Folk's Day. Free transportation will be given the aged and "shut-in" people. Free dinner also will be served at the church. At 11 a.m. the pastor will preach a special sermon to the aged and shut in. At 3 p.m. the pastor will preach at the Second A. M. E. church. At 7:30 p.m. will occur the anniversary of the Epworth League and installation of officers. Come and worship with us. All are welcome. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Towne Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor "Mothers' Day" was fittingly observed and thoroughly enjoyed by the thronging congregations that worshiped at First Church.

Through the sacrifice of all that have helped in the rally this conference year we have been able to meet every current expense up to date and pay two thousand two hundred sixty ($1260) dollars on our principal street bond debt. All that First A M E church now owes is one thousand four hundred ($1400) dollars. All current expenses are paid up to date. Watch for itemized statement in next issue. The pastor will preach both morning and evening Sunday At 3 o'clock he will deliver the annual sermon to "The Ancient United Knights and Daughters of Africa."

Robeson, Pastor "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it," was the text of a very fitting discourse last Sunday, Mothers' Day. The Pastor laid stress upon "Being unevenly yoked." He said pitiful is a mother's plight when she is trying to rear up a family in Godliness and her drunken husband is destroying himself and pulling to hell with him those that he should love. The choir now under the tutelage of Prof. Bynum of the First A. M. E. church, has many new faces in it. Endowed with enduring bible Studies under Bro. E. R. Swain and Mrs. J. C. Banks; is increasing both in interest and membership.

Shaw of Wesley Chapel will deliver the sermon which will be preceded by a stirring praise service led by Brother and Sister R. True. The three captains will report finances for the church debt. Come prepared to do your part. We are building for tomorrow. By living, giving and praying we build in this great kingdom. The meeting of the Los Angeles Baptist Ministers' Union last Monday was an interesting one. The Union was highly favored by an address by the Rev, Dr. H. D. Prowd, entitled "What Is Divine Worship?" The speaker was able to convince his hearers that Divine Worship is the medium through which mankind is able to realize reverence and adore God as their Redeemer and Creator. On next Monday our beloved president will submit a paper for discussion entitled "A Deacon; His relationship to the Pastor and church" All are welcome to our meetings. WAED A. M. R.

Gregra, Pastor Services at the People Independent Church of Christ on last Sunday, being up to the standard was enjoyed by the large congregation that gathered there both morning and evening. The pastor took as his theme for the morning, "Fruit Bearing Christians." He likened Christ as the grape vine and his followers as the branches. On all vines there are many fruitless branches, and in time the pruning day comes. When these branches are cut off. Did you ever stop to think which of these do you represent? Dr. W. C. Gordon brought to the evening congregation a very helpful message on health, and all who heard this felt greatly benefited. On next Sunday at 3 o'clock baptism will take place. All candidates are urged to be present on time. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Tillman brought a wonderful message last Sunday morning concerning "Heavenly Rest," basing his remarks upon the first epistle of Peter. The evening service was in keeping with Mother's Day and an excellent sermon on that subject was heard. The B. Y. P. U. lesson and program were of unusual merit, which is saying much, for the hour from 6:30 to 7:30 p. m. is rapidly being known as a bright spot in the course of the Sabbath services. Less than four weeks remain now for active work of closing up the rally successfully. Although leaders of clubs in the running for high honors in this event prefer to assume an indifferent air concerning their work, it is known that they are bending every source of energy at their command to be rated as No. 1 on the second Sunday in June. It therefore is necessary for each member of the church to fill some one of the five air clubs and lead a shoulder to the wheel which IMPROVE YOUR HAIR IF YOUR HAIR IS HARSH, KINKY, HAPPY AND SMARLS UP ALL OVER YOUR HEAD USE FORD'S HAIR POMADE THE NATURAL OIL PRODUCT AND YOU WILL FIND A GREAT INNOVEMENT.

My Mother is the one who doeth the will of My Father," brought a new conception to his people. Everybody in that fine auditorium, from the oldest to the youngest, who could speak plainly paid a fine tribute to their mothers. Two strong men, who has never been in the church fell at the altar of prayer and joined the church. The program and installation service by the Queen Esther Circle brought out a fine audience. Mrs. Mary Gatewood entertained the pastor and his family at dinner on Sunday. The Ladies' Aid Society was entertained by Mrs. Lydia Harris and her daughters on last Thursday. Pastor Kinchen will preach Sabbath morning on "Character Assassins; A Lie Nailed." The evening service will be a great memorial in honor of the memory of Senator Joseph B. Foraker. Mr. James Viney and other eloquent speakers will make addresses on the life of this great friend of the race. All are welcome. NEWHOME "I'll get it for my wife" NO OTHER LIKE IT. NO OTHER AS GOOD.

Most assuredly and those who weren't missed and evening of perfect delight. The Bratton family furnished sweet music, which was pleasing to the listening ear, And Mr. Bratton talked on war so strongly until we all were ready to volunteer. There were ices and punches and all kinds of sweet cakes; it seemed that with Uncle Sam they had got a pull. The guest iced and they punched and they ate sweet cakes, until they thought their stomachs were full. There were sweet flowers, sweet music, contesting and guessing, everybody taking a part in the same. But when the prizes were awarded and Master James Pickett, Mr. Louis Settles, Mrs. Viola Hill and the Misses Bratton caught it all the rest of us had to swallow the pill. The Astral colors were red and yellow and to be sure they suited this fellow, because when he came to this earth in May His Astral colors had their sway. His governing Planet is the star of Venus which you know puts lots of love in us. And his gem is the emerald green which his wife, Mrs. M. B. Davis bought for him. The many nice beautiful presents received were most highly appreciated by J. L. D. indeed He only took this method to give thanks by cutting the great big birthday cake in planks. And with sounier cards and ribbon rosetts of red and yellow. He passed a big plank to every good fellow. And as he was wished many happy returns. It was echoed by sweet music in orchestra tones. The dear good nights rang out again and again, until the last sweet strain of music did end. And as the hours of the night had grown J. L. D. turned to his wife alone, and said O, wife I thank you, and thank you heartily for having given me such a nice Birthday party and to have our friends enjoy the evening in our little humble home.

That this could be accomplished in these strenuous war times is inspiring as well as remarkable. No new church or great improvements as an incentive to work to, just a plain "dead horse," as it were, to care for, a street tax debt, that's all. If this man Craw had a new church to build if he would keep up this ratio he would strike the high water mark in raising finances for this church at all hazards. However, his is an enviable record indeed.

They approach the sorts of pretexts, they want to introduce them clientage and then they begin to worm their candidate's good graces. As a matter of fact the men who do this no standing with the people and consequent Sorrowful indeed is the spectacle presented in this bailiwick around and about campaign times, it is the time that irresponsible leadership holds full sway; and the more unworthy, the more debased the closer can this particular species of political parasite get to and cling to at least some of the aspirants for political preferment. They approach the candidates on all sorts of pretexts, they want to introduce them to their Colored clientage and then they begin to worm themselves into the candidate's good graces. As a matter of fact the men who do this have absoultely no standing with the people and consequently no influence. These men are the parasites, the political bums and whiskey heads, they cannot control their, own vote much less the vote of anybody else. They are the weights which hold down the progress of the Race, and our prayer is for deliverance from this scourge. As a side issue in increasing the national food supply, the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce urges that every family in Southern California that can do so, buy a young pig or two and raise winter meat. A shoat very readily lends itself to the economic scheme of the average suburban home. Where the problem of raising several hogs would be difficult, one or two may be handled easily. Fully-half the feed for one hog could be had from the table scraps and garden products. Very little space is required, and the climatic conditions of Southern California are said to be the best in the world for the hog industry. California is spending thirty millions annually for hog products when it might be not only supplying itself but raising a surplus for other states and to export. Some states have hog raising clubs or school children which movement has been a prounced success. The hog is the farmer's best friend and his most profitable animal. This has been demonstrated by statistics which show that the per capita wealth is highest in the states raising the greatest quantity of [Name] What a glorious theme is Home? O, what memories it awakens! What sweet, pleasant and tender associations it brings to mind? Walk into the confines of the jungle, where the savage roams in his ignorance—walk beside the banks of India's coral strands—stroil beneath the blue cereal skies of sunny Italy—yea, go now upon the bloody battlefields of Europe, where men are standing in martial array and leaping into the jaws of death, and pronounce the word "Home," and immediately the song flows into the ears of the angels, "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!" Home is the place where a human being receives his best moral training. The place where we dress in the clothes of character, where our lives are laid upon the anvil and wielded into sanctified characters or unrighteous pilgrims. Home is the place where we buckle on the armor of virtue, sobriety and rectitude or learn t ouse the rifle of hypocrisy, deceit and shame. Home is where we get an everlasting push toward the nobler things of life and heaven, or an everlasting shove toward the lower things of life and hell. The responsibility of a home is the gravest that ever fell upon any person's shoulders. I would to God that my pen was afame with power divine that would cause parents to realize the sacredness of their trust! I would to God that I could hang out a lamp whose beams would cause mothers and fathers to pause in their tracks and catch a vision of their glorious commission! Listen! Many children are searing their souls, blasting their hopes, beclouding their understandings, and warping their energies because denied the salutary influence of good homes. Boys and girls are running wild today on the fields of sin and breaking many mothers' hearts because they kow not what it is to bask in the sunlight of a God-like, Christian home. They are strolling the boulevards of damnation with glee, and, say what we please, the guilt lies at the door of their homes. Parents, stop! Look! Listen! The souls of your children shall be required at your hands. If you are more concerned about the almighty dollar than the soul of your child the day of judgment will call you into account. Homes today are at a premium. Old-fashioned mothers and fathers, who realize their God-gvien responsibility, are becoming a negligible quantity. What the world needs is homes built upon a churchly foundation. You can't divorce the two because they are built of the same material and on the same foundation. Our country is calling for a patriotism of the highest sort. For men and women who answer unswervingly the calls of their better selves. Such a patriotism cannot emanate from an ungodly, sin-loving, character-blighting home. The world needs mothers who listen to the whisperings of a divine voice; fathers who will lift the sword of an honest and upright life. Plod on, and remain immersed in the sordid materialism of a hell-bound century! Plod on, and trample upon the glorious opportunities to give the world consecrated armor-bearers, honest and virtuous men and women, intelligent and worthy citizens. Some day that biblical truth, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it," will strike terror to your soul. Give your boy a chance. Give your girl a foundation upon which she may stand. Surround the mwith the hallowed influence of good homes, Christian homes, sanctified homes. Later on, when strueing with the stern stoli- ties of life, they will rise up and call you blessed, and realize that Home's not merely four square walls, Tho' with pictures hung and guilded; Home is where affection calls, Filled with the shrines the heart has built.

Machine for hire at all hour AIRPLANES IN MEXICO Non-stop airplane races, one between San Francisco and San Diego and the other El Paso and San Diego, will be unusual features of the program of the Friendship Fiesta to be held at San Diego on June 21, 22, 23 and 24. If accomplished these will be the longest non-stop flights ever made in the west. Military and civilian aviators alike are co-operating. Auto races from San Francisco and El Paso are included in the varied program of four days of the Friendship Fiesta which the San Diego Progress Commission has arranged with the idea of more closely cementing the friendly relations between the great. southwest of the United Staes and Lower California. Not only will Governor Cantu participate but the governors of California, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Texas have been bidden. Delegations from 356 cities and towns of these states will take part in the Fiesta. The program includes a day of water sports, a day for the school children, with dancing and pageants; a monster parade and a Mexican fiesta. The parade, one of the most unusual ever held in the west, will include soldiers, Mexican organizations, fraternal and civil bodies and floats representing the six states participating and delegations from each state and city. Governor Cantu is accepting the invitation of the Progress Commission to have the opportunity to in this way demonstrate the friendship of his country for the United States. He intends to come with his military staff, a military band, delegations from civic organizations of Ensenada, Tia Juana and Mexicali and a delegation of school children from these places. The situation is unique and will be the first international fiesta of this kind ever given. It will have all the brilliance, color and revelry of sound and beauty associated with Spanish love feasts. A special commission composed of Chief Commissioner George S. Parker and Secretary William Tomkins went to Ensenada, Lower California, the past week, to personally arrange with Governor Cantu the details of his participation in the Fiesta. While in Mexico they were the guests of the Governor and were personally entertained by him and his staff in a most lavish manner. MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA Shiloh A. M. E. church held three great services last Sunday. Mother's Service at 11 a.m. sermon by the pastor, W. D. Henry. Subject, "The Secret of Long and Happy Life." Text, Exodus 20:1-12. A great sermon, pointed and instructive. It claimed the earnest attention of his hearers. Defining the word honor, and mother, telling why she was honored, he declared that all women were mothers, let them be fruitful or barren. Dividing them into two classes, the 1st class, true; 2nd class, false. He said that God had distinct reference to the mother of righteousness. Pointed out her duties and the duties of children. Truly he preached as one of authority. He charmed his hearers and plead for true mothers. He proved himself equal to the task. At 3 p.m. V. C. E. sermon by the Rev. R. H. Hunter of Pasadena. Text, "Words we must worship in truth." Truly he preached as one sent from God. A great feast at 8 p.m. Sermon by the Rev. W. R. Hutchinson, A.M. S.T.B., pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist church, city of Los Angeles, Boyle Heights. Text, Prov. 16, 25. Copious showers of the spirit filled our hearts. Truly this was a masterful discourse and he proved himself a young Spurgeon. We were blessed with several visitors from the city. Distinguished representative from the Sojourner Truth Home, Mrs. Thomas. Fastor Henry's Sunday subject, "Will We Get Right With God," followed by a confession service, beginning of a great revival conducted by the Rev. W. M. A. Washington, pastor of Bethel church of Christ. Ser- Phoenix Arizona. Just a word from Phoenix. The city has taken on new life; churches, lodges and clubs are very active in entertainments and receptions. Work is plentiful, with a great demand for help, such as cooks and day's work for members of our race. Tuesday, May the first, marked the first year's work of Dr. F. T. Walker, Pastor of Second Baptist church. In the evening, there was a fine program rendered, remarks by the pastors of the city and school teachers and Dr. Hackett, on the splendid work rehdered by Dr. Walker to the church and community. The pastor, after a few remarks, made his annual report. He preached 128 sermons, including four funerals, forty-nine prayer meetings, married two couples, received into the church 28 members, excluded 12, report to the association last year forty members, this year seventy. As Moderator of the Parish Association, he made the following official visits: Flagstaff, Prescott, Hayden, Tucson and Douglas, and preached seventeen sermons. Raised for the church during the year $1536.18. After this report, the mortgage was burned and the church is now clear of debt, except paying on the pavement which is a very easy thing to do. Dr. Walker said this meeting that it was impossible for him to pastor the church any longer at the present salary, and he planned to leave for Iowa the 7th of June. The church and community are very anxious for him to remain, and will have a meeting held in the church in the near future to meet his request before he leaves. The Odd Fellows had their annual sermon preached at A. M. E. church last Sunday. Quite a number of our people are coming to the city and are finding employment. There is room for more of the better class, but no room for tramps and loafers. Sunday services are being largely attended in the evening at all the churches. The Second Baptists have the largest congregation. I think it is a good place for a colored lawyer, one who can deliver the goods. On May 4th, members of the Second Baptist church tendered Dr. Walker and his wife a reception. Everything of the season was served and the church was crowded. Many speeches were made commending him for his excellent work, and hopes expressed that he would remain in the city. From The ScrapBook By J.D.Reynolds. With all the dignity and assurances of the prophets of old, Rev Andrew Jones, of Philadelphia, is in St. Louis, telling the people of this city of wrath to come. He is preaching at Mt. Zion Baptist church, 2625 Morgan street, where large crowds gather nightly to hear his prophecies. His special message is to warn men to repent of their wicked ways and pray that they may be spared when the great calamity comes. "Prophet Jones," as he is generally called, is a most interesting character. He is usually seen with a large bundle of papers. Among them may be found some of the leading dailies of this country. These papers contain extracts from the prophecies which were made by Rev. Jones years ago. Some of his predictions as chronicle in these papers are: The Johnstown flood, the Baltimore fire, the St. Louis explosion, the assassination of President W. H. McKinley and many other sayings that have Office 742 3rd St. proven absolutely true. In 1904 he told of a great war across the waters that would drag this country into it. And that it would be the bloodiest war that the world has ever seen. He predicts the destruction of Boston, New York, Washington, D.C. and Chicago. He says this present war will last for fourteen years and at the end of that time there would be only a few men living. Famines, pestilence are factors in making this war serious. The rich shall weep and howl, for they shall see their gold and silver canker. God is going to avenge the suffered and the proud and haughty shall be brought low.-St. Louis Argus: FAMOUS ENGLISH STATESMAN DECLARES UNITED STATES HAS NO RIGHT TO MEDDLE IN IRISH AFAIRS WITH RACE PROBLEM HERE UNSOLEVD London, May 5.—Frederick Harrison, the famous historian and publicist, in the course of a long letter to the Morning Post in the "Irish Dilemma," says Englishmen welcome with enthusiasm the entrance of the great republic into the tremendous war, not merely because we are now fighting side by side, but rather because it manifests that the combined cause is that of civilization, humanity and peace. But does this comradeship in arms quite justify American politicians, however eminent and friendly, thrusting themselves into our municipal politics at a moment of internal crisis. As an Englishman, I wonder to see my stalwart friend Roosevelt and so many leaders of American intellect and statesmanship echoing the stale sopnisms of our enemies during one of the most inveterate trials to which Britain has ever been exposed. What would Americans do if we intervened in one of their dilemmas—say, if one of the ministers, doctors and preachers were to summon them with a passionate appeal to raise up their 12,000,000 of colored citizens to equal human dignity, to wipe out the national stigma on the commonwealth that every man or woman born with a dark skin is born with the shame of exclusion and the life of a pariah race?—Defender. KAISER MUST GO SOCIALISTS TELL GERMANY New York, May 12—A message from a number of leading American Socialists was cabled to the Socialists of Germany today, saying that democracy of the world would continue to fight against Germany until the Hohenzollerns were overthrown. The message was sent to Socialists in Stockholm, Copenhagen, The Hague, and Berne, with a request that its text be forwarded to German Socialists. "It will be difficult, if not impossible," says the message, "to convince the democracies of the world that a reformed Kaiserism is anything else than an effort of the Hohenzollerns to make the German people more willing tools of its foreign policy. "There is only one way to bring the war to an early end. The Kaiser must go." THE WORLD WILL NOT PERMIT THE NATIONS TO GO ON HATING EACH OTHER After the war is over, the world, which has seen and then forgotten a thousand bloody and cruel conflicts, will begin at once the same age-old process by which, with time as its ally, saeed anq we məm apem seq in of history. Thermopylae is only a field of fennle sloping to the sea that once was purple with the blood of Persian thousands. Who knows now who died in the Teatoberg forest, unless it be a barren name or two, and what is more who cares. Even Water- [Phoenix: Main 1612, Main 612] loo means only an action of other days and other peoples; and, to come still closer to the present, Gettysburg is but a softened memory, fast dimming. The animosity, the passions, that, raged over these fields, are vanished. They affect the world no longer. The world has no use for the passions of the past. It lives for the present and the future. While the memory of their losses and their sufferings will remain life-long scars on the hearts of those who have been directly affected, and while the nations will preserve their bitterness for a longer or a shorter time, the world will not permit this war to stop or hinder its progress. And under modern conditions the time that will pass before the world will have made this war, too, history will be far shorter than under the old. This, too, in spite of the fact that this conflict has drawn into its whirlpool more nations and a greater number of persons than any other the world has seen. The nations of the present are far more closely connected, live far more intimately together, depend far more on one another, than the nations of the past ever did. Even with the countries of Europe which have suffered most and where bitterness and after-conflict may be expected to remain the longest, their peoples must set up relations with each other, must mingle again in a thousand ways, through business, through common interests in general advancement, and, most of all, through the necessity of general meeting as fellow human beings. The day has passed when a stranger, merely because he was a stranger, was liable to stoning in North of England villages, or to jeers in American country communities. Even California small boys and village youths no longer find a stock diversion in bombarding lonely Chinese laundrymen. War has merely interrupted th mingling human tides. When it is over, Germans will again occupy French bathing machines at Dieppe; Frenchmen will be taking the German "cures;" English trippers will overrun the Black forest; Italian students will take their medical degrees at Vienna, and Americans will be everywhere. In business, it is idle to think that there can be any permanent boycott between nations. As before, trade will follow its advantages, no matter what borders it has to cross to obtain them. The English will buy in Germany whatever they can buy best there, and vice versa. Again will the branch commercial houses and banks of the nations now at war be established in each other's cities. Again will Germans creep into the business life of Russia and Belgium sell rubber to Hamburg. In sum, the citizens of all these countries will meet and mingle again as human neighbors, and by meeting with mutual profit and renewed understanding, will hasten the time of forgetting that they were enemies. How much faster will this process go on in the newer countries, where men of all the nations are settled down side by side as permanent neighbors, and where they are going to continue to settle. In the United States and Canada, in Australia, in South America, in South Africa the animosities of the war cannot continue long among neighbors. Hans and Pierre and Antonio will go to the same high school, they will work together in the same factory, belong to the same union or the same club, kneel in the same church, and struggle side by side as citizens, or prospective citizens, of the same country. As they do now, and have done, they will marry each other's sisters. How can their children call (Continued on page 8) Gace San Bern nard ino Ne ews! es Home 609 —Phones — Sunset 509 F MARK B.

How can the elders themselves, strangers and enemies once, keep up a racial bitterness? Their influence will act strongly on their brothers in the old countries, adding to the other influences of close communication inseparable from modern conditions. The world will soon send Aras and Tannenberg and the others to join Austerlitz and Tours in the pages of dispassionate history. IT AFTER ALL MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE WHOSE OX IS GORED The Eagle does not for one moment stand sponsor for such institutions as the Country Club at Watts, which has just been closed by the authorities. As a matter of fact we do not believe that such propositions have a leg to stand on from a moral standpoint, and representing as we do, the highest ideals of citizenship, we would be very much out of our place espousing the cause of such places as heretofore referred to. But we cannot help but notice the different manner in which vice is handled by the authorities and we have come to the conclusion that after all it makes a great difference whose ox is gored. Now we all know that the great big Examiner with its paid artists sent out, is won't to illuminate wherein the colored brother is concerned and as that report great allowance must be made. So the Eagle, detesting all vice as we do, we cannot see wherein the line of demarcation rests if viewed from an unprejudiced standpoint, as a matter of fact we think vice is, if anything, more to be condemned with the white race, because the blacks have not had the opportunity in the race of life that the Caucasian has had. The nightly revels which have taken place in various resorts near by this city, the murders which have been traced directly to these places, the accidental deaths from joy riders, with their drunken orgies returning from these road houses, have been such as to have long ago sent the Examiner's special writer out for the purpose of exploiting the same to the public. We do not believe in this difference. There should be no difference in the treatment of vice no matter whether he happens to be fair-as a lily or as dark as the coal. There will be a whist tournament given for the benefit of Sojourner Truth Home Thursday evening May 24th, at the Assembly Hall, corner of Washington and Central Ave. Eight beautiful prizes will be awarded the winners. The prizes are: 1st; order for a $6, pair of shoes; 2nd; gorgette crepe waist; 3rd; one-half dozen pair of sox; 4th: one-half dozen pair of silk hose; 5th: one box of 50 ten cents each cigars; 6th: one box of 50 five cents each cigars; 7th: one necklace; 8th: a box of toilet articles. Game will be allied at 8:30. GOV. ESTEBAN CANTU OF LOWER CALIFORNIA A MAN OF THE HOUR Gives Colored American Same Chance as to any other Race Friendly to U. S. Huge industrial developments of international importance are at present developing and we are pleased to note that Gov. Cantu is in his big and broad manner has well in hand the situation of construction of highways and of enlarging the piers at Ensenada. Also that he has seen fit to give to one of our own colored Citizens of this country the contract for this work. Mr. J. N. Littlejohn is the contractor for the highway from Ensenada to Calexico and is now at the Capital getting ready to begin active work. Mr. Ochoa who has the main contract for the work is also represented here by Attorney Hugh E. MacBeth.

Williams has been For a goodly number of years engaged in the hair business of Los Angeles. So successful has she been that she has neither found it expedient nor has she found time to announce to her customers that she highly appreciates their patronage and that she is constantly increasing her business facilities. Mrs. Williams' Excelsior Hair Grower is making inroads on the market as an absolute success as a hair producer. Mrs. J. Logan Craw and several ladies, who are using Excelsior pronounce it the very best preparation that they have ever used. Excelsior may be reached at 1747 New Hampshire street, or by ringing West 2947. "I am grieved to note that some of our leading professional people are so bitter against encouraging Race enterprises that they refuse to even allow the Colored shoe makers to mend their shoes. "I am conveniently located at 1406 Central avenue. I am a graduate of Tuskegee, the perfected dream of our idealized departed Booker T. Washington; and above all I am prepared to do the same work on shoes that can be done anywhere. Now all I ask is that you give me a chance to make good."

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 game opportunity if you will accept our cooperation. This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person to whose attention this announcement comes. It offers an opportunity for you to invest a large or small sum in a sane, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit-sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large oil lots and an interest—in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit-sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil as well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gunhors, 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 dont neglect this one, it means your fortune, and is right within your reach. Seis it now. Write or call in person from 4:30 p. m. to 8 p. m. C. E. Patterson, 1446 So.
