B. Y. P. U. FEDERATION To * Hold * First * Annual * Picnic --- ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 MUST VOLUME 30 PERNICIOUS JITNEY BUSSES MUST STAND TO BE REGULATED This momentous question calls for every voter to turn out on June 5th and vote YES on Amendment NO. 4 and vote NO on NO. 8. By far the most important proposition which affects the very foundation of the rights of all the people, is the initiative proposition destined to regulate the pernicious and discriminating Jitney Bus. This industry has become a menace to the community and the people on all sides are crying out for relief therefore it is the bounden duty of the people who stand for justice and fair play, to turn out on Tuesday, June the 5th. and cast a ballot which will regulate the Jitney Busses so that they will cease to ply their work in the manner which has brought them into such disrepute, and the voters should not stop at casting their own vote, but should see to it that their friends and acquaintances get out and vote YES on Amendment NO. 4 and NO on NO. 8. PERNICIOUS AND EXASPERATING The Jitney Busses as operated in and out of this city by their reckless methods and by rank discrimination has become a veritable nuisance and all classes of our citizenship have felt their reckless abandon of the rights of the public, and to such an extent that the people have risen almost en masse as it were, and demand that they shall be regulated. It has come to the point where it is not the railway people's fight, and the situation demands that the people should take no chance with this pestiferous sore on the body politic, but that every voter must get busy and turn out on Tuesday, June the 5th, and vote for the initiative Amendment No. 4, which makes the Jitney Bus amenable to regulation the same as any other common carrier. Leading Citizens to the Forefront In this battle for fair play and justice the leading citizens are taking a lively interest and will leave no stone unturned to arouse the people to the importance of this question. The following letter from Dr. H. D. Prowd, who is pastor of Second Baptist church and president of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance, is enough to arouse every voter to the necessity of voting and working for Amendment No. 4. NOW IS THE TIME Now is the time and opportunity to protect yourself. The ballot is our Weapon of Defense against prejudice, and unjust and unlawful discrimination. The present effort to "Regulate Jitney Busses" is, on the one hand, a street car company affair. But it does not stop there. It vitally touches every black person's interest in this city. At present these jitney busses positively refuse to carry our people. In fact they have on many occasions gone as far as to stop and put them off in instances where they were mistaken for white people. At present we have no redress, as the men do not even own the busses. But if they are put under bond and properly regulated as is contemplated, we are sure to have our rights under the law and be rid of contempt and insults. Let every Colored man and woman use the opportunity of defense. In doing this, vote for the ordinance put on the ballot by the railway employes. H. D. PROWD, President of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance. The above letter is timely indeed and shows that our religious leaders have their ears to the grass roots, and are alive to the situation and the EAGLE is glad to say that the sentiment expressed in the above letter has the unqualified endorsement of the entire ministry of this great metropolis. Jitneys Have Unlawfully Inaugurated Jim Crow Methods Without warrant of law the Jitnye Busses have and even now discriminate in their service to the public, and the very spectacle of this class of business sowing the seeds of segregation, of malice, at this stage and this section of our country, is certainly to be condemned by all good citizens. So nefarious and so pernicious has the Jitney Bus nuisance become that the business men of the city have organized and are taking a leading role in the movement for their regulation. The Business Men's Protective Association sets forth as in the following circular the salient point of the proposed regulations. PGULATE THE JITNEY BUS RGULATE THE JITNEY BUS To the Voters of Los Angeles City: On June 5 you should vote YES upon the following proposition—NO. 4 ON THE BALLOT. (Do not confuse with any other proposition.) 4. Shall the ordinance proposed by initiative petition providing for the supervision and regulation of itney busses, stages and auto stages; providing the issuance of permits for the operation of such itney busses, stages and auto stages; and prohibiting the operation thereof upon certain streets, be adopted? 4. Shall the ordinance proposed by initiative petition providing for the supervision and regulation of jitney busses, stages and auto stages; providing for the issuance of permits for the operation of such jitney busses, stages and auto stages; and prohibiting the operation thereof upon certain streets, be adopted? San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MAY 26, 1917 GO! B. Y. P. U. F To Hold First THE BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE'S UNION FEDERA- TION PICNIS Mr. J. Allen Reece, president and officers of the Federated Unions of Los Angeles and vicinity, have made elaborate preparations for the First Annual Picnic of that organization to be ```markdown ``` HON.

Many of the leading citizens of Venice and Los Angeles M. HON. CHAS. W. LYONS, of Venice presents Assemblyman from that district. A brilliant orator and friend of the race will address the Federated Union at Playa del Rey, Wednesday, May 30th. NUMBER 15 The Jitney Buss Menace have assured Mr. Reece and his co-workers of their presence on next Wednesday. Order of the Day The morning of this day will be given over to the young people, and they shall enjoy themselves to the utmost in skating, boating, baseball, field sports and various other amusements. Afternoon Exercises Rey, W. H. Rozier. Master of Ceremonies For the afternoon a splendid patriotic program has been arranged, among which are: A welcome address by his honor, J. J.

Molding in the Grave," Eli Persons' half mutilated body was committed to his steel casket about which was piled fuel which was saturated with coal oil. As the steel grew red with heat the Negro's yells could be heard for miles around and there was great rejoicing by the 12,000 persons who came out to witness or participate in the lynching. M. The Negroes of these United States are law abiding and believe that if Eli Persons committed this crime he should have been duly punished. On the other hand every true race man and woman who loves his race, and country, resent this unwritten law that is prescribed alone for the Negroes of this country, and we believe that every fraternal order, woman's club and in fact every race organization should protest against this inhuman practice. PROF. CHAS. ALEXANDER Author and Journalist, who will deliver address on Frederick Douglass at Playa-del-Rey on Wednesday, May 30th. However, as we think upon this subject in what we are wont to consider a calmer mental attitude, we tremble not so much for the Negroes of this country as we do for the solid South and in trembling with fear for the future of the South we can but be fearful for this country, for we realize that "what affects a part affects the whole." SIGNS OF THE TIMES The Hand Writing on the Wall C. A. Spear Last Tuesday morning, May 22 the Associated Press flashed over the wires that a Negro had been parched to death in an especially prepared steel cage near Mem- phis, Tenn. For the past three centuries God has smiled graciously upon this country—in wealth she is unrivaled by any other country in the world—in point of invention she is ahead of most of the civilized nations, and in her educational system for all of her subjects she stands out supreme, but it seems that just at the point when and where America would and could come into her own there appears a hand writing on the wall of time which no man can read or understand, but somehow methinks I hear a still voice whispering, America, what ye sow ye shall reap. In response to Associated Press news wires, afternoon papers began to appear with great big scare crow lines across the top of the papers stating "Negro Lynched or Burned to Death," in whichever way they saw fit to word it. The Negro lynched was Eli Persons, and the place where the lynching bee was celebrated was in a little town ten miles from the city of Memphis, Tenn. This Negro is supposed to have killed a white girl, and when it was learned that he was suspected of the crime a mob was sent out after him. Few obstacles were in the way of those blood thirsty human fiends, and they soon returned with their victim, and after cutting off his ears and fingers and in this manner wrenching from him a confession that he had committed the crime he had been suspected of, to the tune of "John Brown's Body Lies At this time when our government would stretch her hands across the sea and say to Ireland and Russia we are with thee, and cannot hear the groans of her own citizens when they are being tortured and burned at the stake, we say, woe on the Christianity that teaches love for one and hate for another. If the Negro is immoral this trait was engendered in his two ()continued on page 8) What the Churches are Doing St. Paul looks forward to a brighter day in church life. Last Sunday's services were well attended. Brother Payne, preached an interesting sermon at eleven. Pastor Holt and family reached town Sunday, 7:20 a.m. They were met by Messrs. Hammock, Batts, Coal and Wadkins, and escorted to their new home, 1506 E. 23rd street, where they were allowed to rest for the day. Pastor Holt came on the scene at 7:30 p.m. and held the congregation spellbound as he reasoned from the subject, "In the Right Place." Two persons came forward and cast their lot with us. All are invited. Come and hear Pastor Holt's introductory sermon on Sunday next. Subject, "Why I am What I Am." Meet us at St. Paul. THE BAPTIST UNION The Los Angeles Baptist Ministers' Union held a meeting last Monday. The most important feature in the meeting was the address rendered by the president, Rev. W. H. Rozier, entitled, "The Duties of a Deacon." Next Monday there will not be any meeting of the Baptist Union, but the meeting will be with the Interdenominational Alliance at the Y. M. C. A. on San Pedro street SECOND A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. E. R. Johnson, Pastor Sunday was a great day at Second church. The pastor preached in the morning and evening and at 3 p.m. Dr. A. P. Shaw of Wesley Chapel electrified his audience, reaching both hearts and pocket books. $75.22 was collected for the mortgage debt and at the evening service $19.00 was collected, making a total of $94.22 raised by the following divisions: Deaconesses, led by Sisters Hattie Hill and J. Goock. $10.87; Stewardesses, led by Sisters M. James and J. Woten. $30.85; Helping Hand, led by Sisters Eliza True and M. C. Johnson, $25.50 Brother Robt. True, representing Dr. J. Logan Craw, laid on the Helping Hand table $6.00.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH Thirty-fourth St. and Central Ave. "The Field of Greatest Service" was the subject of the pastor at the morning service Sunday.

They will also exhibit many African curios. Everyone should see, these and hear these missionaries. Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor The members and visitors of this church enjoyed two highly spiritual services Sunday, and the old fashioned class meeting was the climax. The entertainment given by the young men's glee club of the First A. M. E. church, Pasadena, was highly appreciated by all who attended, it was indeed a splendid program, and the attendance was very good. Sunday has been set for the first big rally of the season, at which time we hope to raise a good amount to apply on the indebtedness of this property. We hope that every member will give at least five ($5.00) dollars, and each friend as much as possible. We desire that each captain will be ready to report some time Sunday. The quilt given by Sister True for this work will be given to the one raising the largest amount over $15.00. There may be a little longer time given, however, on the quilt.

ZION CHURCH Sunday, May 20, was a warm day spiritually at Zion. Rev. Robeson preached the second of his series of sermons on "The Proper Training of Children." He emphasized the need of home discipline, making the home bright and cheerful and the imparting of religious instruction. Much interest was manifested when he assailed the divorce evil with vigor. "Broken lives and broken homes go hand in hand for the man who stayed home long enough to produce a family and then left, hell was too cold for him," said the preacher. Three accessions and one conversion brought to a close a very successful and inspiring day. Sunday, May 2, at 171 a.m. the pastor will preach on "The Man of the Hour." At 8 p.m., "Stop! Look! Listen!" Thriving Sunday school and cordial greeting await you. Bible class at 7 p.m. PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Corner 18th and Paloma Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor The third Sunday in May had been looked forward to be a day of much rejoicing and none were disappointed. The pastor took as his theme in the morning, "Winning the Crown of Life." He said in part that this world is a stage on which each man plays his part and as in the chariot race he drives three chariots, one of mind, one of soul and one of body. He holds the reigns and guides where he will and at the end of the race, which must come to all, he receives his reward, which, if the race has been well made, he receives a crown of life. No other reward admits into the haven of rest. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon nineteen persons were baptized. The sermon was preached by the pastor and a large congregation gathered to witness the occasion. Again at 7:30 the pastor and choir were at their post and another excellent sermon was preached. The theme was "Being Saved in Time." Services next Sunday as usual. All are welcome. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Eighth and San Julian Streets Rev. A. P. Shaw, D. D., Pastor Sunday was a great day at Wesley M. E. church. At 11 a. m. many aged and infirm people came out and enjoyed the services very much.

The evening services were under the auspices of the church with the assistance of a client installation service was rendered by the Leaguers under the leadership of President J. A. Jackson. The pastor and a company of jubilee singers under Prof. Howard worshipped at the First M. E. church. This Sunday promises to be one of unusual interest.

The present city campaign has lost its pep since the election of Mayor Woodnian at the primaries. San Diego it seems was not asleep as contrary to all calculations, the great army camp has been located near that city. The Eagle in its next issue preceding the election will discuss the councilmanic proposition and give to our readers the benefit of the same. San Diego is to be congratulated in its success of having the army camp for this section located near her doors and while we pulled for our own Los Angeles to win this prize, if we had to lose it, there is no place that we would rather see it go than to the hustling city of San Diego. We have no reason to back up on our appeal for the formation of a California Negro Volunteer Regiment and we urge our men to come forward in great numbers and in no unmistakable manner demonstrate the stuff of which we are made, that of patriots and unexcelled in loyalty to our very own country.

It is one of the very best expositions of the subject which has come to our notice and we are proud to know that the same is going forth in the channels reached by this magazine. Mrs. Thompson in an unostentatious manner is always doing her part for the race. THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME It is a source of gratification to all the people of the state to know that they have in the person of Governor William D. Stephens a man who is fully aware of the emergencies of the hour, and who is capable of dealing successfully with them. Through his farsightedness on lines of preparedness Governor Stephens was the first to initiate the very effective work of a State Council of Defense which is not only supplementing the Federal defense, but is securing protection to the home of California by plans for virtualization. To the high office of Governor, Mr. Stephens has brought into action a vast experience gained by his legislative experience as a Congressman, which stands him well in hand at this period in promoting an effective co-operation of the Nation with the State. The people of Southern California are especially proud of the magnificent record Governor Stephens has already made, is now making and that he will continue to make, as the War Governor of California, equal to any emergency, and he is significantly the right man in the right place, at the right time. THE PEOPLE'S FIGHT The pending fight to regulate the jitney this city is not the fight of the local car lines trary it is the fight of the PEOPLE and as classes are suffering more or less from condition by unregulated jitneys, it becomes the duty use drastic means to rid themselves of this p no issue before the people to be decided at the 5th of the striking importance as this one, and the people of all classes to work hard and get favor of the initiative proposition No.4 uh The pending fight to regulate the jitney buss nuisance in this city is not the fight of the local car lines but on the contrary it is the fight of the PEOPLE and as the people of all classes are suffering more or less from conditions brought about by unregulated jitneys, it becomes the duty of the people to use drastic means to rid themselves of this pest, and there is no issue before the people to be decided at the election on June 5th of the striking importance as this one, and it well behooves the people of all classes to work hard and get out the vote in favor of the initiative proposition No. 4, which will regulate and minimize the pernicious influence of this nuisance. The Colored citizens especially should be alive to the issue, as these operators have brazenly offered insult to a loyal Race by putting in vogue in this city Jim Crow practices for what is generally rated common carriers, thereby insulting and humiliating a part of its citizenship which pays a tax and helps make it possible for these carriers to have roads to carry their passengers on. So therefore no registered voter should fail in this crisis to turn out and cast their vote for Amendment No. 4, and not only that, but to work and labor with others to do the same. In doing this we are not serving the railroad companies, but we are rendering the greatest possible service unto ourselves. We are making a stand for justice, for fair play and giving segregation and Jim Crow methods a knockout blow in this section. Tuesday of this week the people of the civilized world were startled to learn of treatment meted out to two Negro prisoners who were charged with a heinous crime in Memphis, Tennessee. Securing confessions of guilt by the most inhuman torture whose only cessation is immediate death is the method of savagery. Such confessions in law have no weight in courts and are not admissible. Consequently there is no evidence that the victims of the horrible burning were even guilty of the crime charged. The crime charged was the most horrible in the catalogue of crime and its punishment is only conjectural as a confession extorted by the most brutal and lingering torture can be obtained from the most innocent because of lack of endurance. Only a few days ago the Statesmen of this Country who are sympathizing with the Irish in their divided struggle for Home Rule, were reminded by an English Statesman that the ill treatment of 12,000,000 of its own citizens gave the people of the United States no ground to give any expressions of sympathy for the Irish. The South which for 250 years bestialized the Negro have no right to throw up their hands in "holy horror" because of their own handiwork. If occasionally just as it occurs in the white race, a black man commits a fendish crime it can be traced as an inheritance of the Southern institutions that fathered him. Presuming that the Negro was guilty who is after all the greatest loser, undoubtedly the thousands of boys and girls of tender age and the men and women who were so inflamed as to enjoy the horrible sight of a slowly burning scheeching human being were bestialized beyond redemption. All civilized countries recognizing the brutalizing effect of capital punishment hold them, behind closed doors and it is only savages who make a public holiday of such. The treatment of the Negro South of the Mason and Dixon line reflects on the whole country. It makes all of President Wilson's essays on humanity a bellowing romance and holds the nation up to the pitiless scorn of the whole civilized world. But the Southern end of this country has always been a reproach to the balance of the nation, as witness but a few days ago when it was decided to put a war tax of $2.50 on cotton the very men who the day before were talking patriotism arose in Congress demanding tita their cotton be exempted while the manufacturers of the North and the Northerners' dinner pail will suffer all of the cost and inconveniences of the war. And Tuesday the South again shows its patriotism by placing a veritable damper on Negro patriotism. The Eagle, having in mind the greatest good to the greatest numbers and striving for justice and fair play at all times, sounds the alarm and calls on the people to rise up in their might and do not be satisfied until you have done your utmost to correct the evils of the jitney buss traffic in this our very own Los Angeles, on Tuesday, June 5th. Watch the next issue of THE SOARING EAGLE. J. B. H. TO THE SOJOURNER TRUTH HOME LET US GO! "We shall do so much in the years to come, But what have we done today? We shall give our gold in a princely sum. But what did we give today? We shall lift the heart and dry the tear. We shall plant a hope in the place of fear, We shall speak the words of love and cheer, But what did we speak today?" REV. B. C. ROBESON, Pastor A. M. E. Zlon Church. (By Special Request) "THE SOJOURNER TRUTH HOME" Sunday, May 27th, at 3 p. m., will bring to a close the present effort being put forth by teh Home to raise funds for the assistance of its grand work. It is filling a long felt need. It is a real Apostle of Goodness. It is interpreting life at its proper value. It is striving to preserve the garden of virtuous Eden, and keep any from wearing the brand and scars of an outcast. Its achievements of the past are brilliant. Its labors have been signaled by an unstinted devotion to duty. It has not faltered when obstacles were numerous, mountains high, and pathways-blocked. Lifting its voice of love, devotion and sacrifice it has charmed many to the sweetening of their life, lifting of theler ideals, the giving of a vision, and the companionship of true and tried friends. A former President, Mrs. George E. Offutt, said in the annual address to her co-workers: "Do not sacrifice the sanctity and worthiness of this work for praise or money, or anything to those who have no rightedus interest in your work. Do not stoop to get money or favor from any person or persons whom you would be ashamed to present to the Master as a loves and protector of young womanhood." Noble words to be sure. They ring true and clear with no compromising tone. How well they have given themselves to self-imposed duty, history now attests. How valiant they have fought to realize their ambitions is a chapter Los Angeles would not erase from her glorious archives. What supreme devotion, courage, loyalty and faith has characterized their efforts both present and future generations will herald. Mrs. J. M. Scott, the very efficient and capable President, now issues a call for us to gather within its sacred confines and help them sing a pean of victory. Can we be recreant to our trust? Can we be unappreciative of such heroic work? Can we sit supinely by and not stir ourselves to action? May God Almighty forbid. Let us act promptly, earnestly and helpfully.

ROBESON Wins Eighteen Hundred Dollar Judgment in Favor of Harold Lee On Thursday, May 17, the case of Harold Lee vs. Yee Sam, a rich Los Angeles broker, came up for trial in Department 7 of the Superior Court, Judge Fred H. Taft presiding. On March 31 Mr. Harold was run down by an auto truck owned and driven by Mr. Sam at which time he (Mr. Harold) was badly injured in different parts of his body. The accident occurred at University avenue and W. Jefferson street and the suit Thursday was the result of the same. Mr. Harold, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Lee of 1593 W. 36th Place, with his family and many friends are singing Mr. Tyler's praise as a well posted attorney.

DOINGS OF THE METHODIST ALLIANCE The Methodist Ministers' Alliance met in their regular session Monday morning, May 21st inst. Most of the regular pastors were present, and many timely subjects were discussed, and many questions asked. Among some of the subjects discussed was the desecration of the Sabbath day by Christian men and women. The Alliance also put itself on record against many worldly amusements indulged in by Christian people as a whole, and especially card playing and such other games that cannot be carried on in the name of the great head of the church. Sunday, June 17th, was agreed upon as the day that all Methodist Ministers of the Alliance would at the same hour of the day in their various pulpits preach a special sermon on the social evils that are sapping the Spiritual life out of many church people. After a lengthy discussion over the many phases of evils, the following resolution was read and adopted: Resolved, That the Methodist Ministers' Alliance of Southern California will not endure, or aid, any institution or parties that give dances or card parties or such other indulgenuces that do not become Christians, to aid in their support.

A Russell, of Lawrenceville, Va. San Diego will soon introduce to California, the southwest and the nation a comparatively young man from the other side of the line, who is one of the true "wonder-workers" of the continent. He is Colonel Esteban Cantu, both civil governor and military chief of Lower California, northern district, beloved of his people, who have found his rule kind and wise and honored by his neighbors in California, U. S. A., for his ability, friendliness and the peace and prosperity he has given his district. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, and six sons, W. M. Ragsdale, Ross, Dan, Gus, Adair, all of Muskogee, Okla.; Fred Ragsdale, of Kansas City, Mo., and four daughters, Mrs. Sarah Austin, of Los Angeles, Calif.; Mrs. Mollie Stokes, Mrs. Florence Abraham, Maggie Emberry, all of Muskogee; three brothers, Taylor Ross, Little Rock, Ark.; L. C. Ross, Kansas City, Mo.; B. O. Ross, of Lonoak, Ark.; three sisters, 63 grand-total, 67 grand- and great-grandchildren; and a host of friends and relatives; Sister Ragsdale was not only a mother, wife and friend. She was on of the most earnest and sincere quiet women of her community. She never engaged in any big, prolonged disputes. She loved and helped her San Diegans, as well as visitors from sections distant from the border are keenly interested in the opportunity to meet Governor Cantu on the occasion of his official visit and participation in the great Friendship Flesta, which will be held in San Diego, June 21-24. MOTHER RAGSDALE DECEASED Muskogee, Okla., 4-25-1917 Dying statement of Sister Rhoda Ragsdale, who departed this life on April 23, 1917, at 7 o'clock in the morning. Sister Ragsdale was born in Crawford County, Arkansas. Her parents took her to the State of Texas, when she was a very small child, where she joined the Christian church at the age of 13 years. She also married Mr. Stitch Ragsdale at the age of 15 years, in Cook County, Texas. She and her husband moved back to Van Buren, Arkansas. There seventeen children were born to their union, ten of them still survivors here—six sons and four daughters. Mrs. Ragsdale moved to Muskgoe, Indian Territory, in 1901—now 16 years ago. Then she joined Central Baptist Church, 16 years ago. Rev. Frank White was pastor. Her membership remained in Central Baptist Church up to her death. Sister Ragsdale, took ill about ten months ago, and has been confined to her bed about two months. Her last attending physician was Dr. H. L Muckleroy, with the care of Mrs. Macker as nurse. When all medical hel. failed and she saw her time on earth was nearly up, she called for her husband, on the 15th of this month, on Sunday, and said: "I want to tell you that I am going to leave. I have my eyes on the Morning Star. - I want you to live right, and to teach my grandchildren. I want you all to live practical and get together. I want Rev. McClendon to preach my funeral. I want all the old deacons there." On last Friday, the 20th day of April, she said to her husband: "I have kept the faith." She called her son, W. M. Rags dale, and said: "I want you to see that I am buried and buried right I have been shown that I am going home," He asked her: "Wher, mother; to my home?" She smiled and said: "Anyone might know what home means when the hacks, hears and preacher come. Take me to the white gate. I might be a little wrong, but I have been shown that I am going away today or tonight. I want my funeral Wednesday; Wednesday will be funeral day. Son, you have done all you can do. I do not want any big show; bury me and bury me right." Then she called her son-in-law, Mr. James Jackson, to her bedside an dtook him by the hand and asked him how did he feel? He told her o. k. He asked her how did she feel? She told him "very bad." She said to him: "I want you to send the children to church and Sunday school. It does not make any difference what church —Baptist or Methodist—just so you send them." She said: "I have been a member of the church ever since I was a girl 13 years old; I have had a hard time, but, thank God, I have made it over!" To her husband she said: "I have suffered five long weeks; no one knows what I have suffered but) God." Friday night she called for all her children and said: "Children, you all try to get together, for mother will not be here to keep you all together, because I am going Home." Then she asked to have her bed changed. "I want everything clean. There will be plenty of company here, because I am going Home," she told them. Then she said: "I have fought a good fight: I have finished my course; I am now ready to be offered up." Then she said to her children: "I have raised you all in fold and some cf you have strayed from it; Come home! Oh, come home!" She called her sister, Elsa, all the time. She said to Florence, her daughter, "you and your paps and your husband, Adair." She called her granddaughter, Beatrice, to sing "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot." "For the charlot is going to carry me Home!" she said. Calm and easy she sleeps away in the arms of Jesus on Monday morning, at 7 o'clock, at North Third She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, and six sons, W. M. Ragsdale, Ross, Dan, Gus, Adair, all of Muskegue, Okla.; Fred Ragsdale, of Kansas City, Mo., and four daughters, Mrs. Sarah Austin, of Los Angeles, Calif.; Mrs. Mollie Stokes, Mrs. Florence Abraham, Maggie Embery, all of Muskegue; three brothers, Taylor Ross, Little Rock, Ark; L. C. Ross, Kansas City, Mo.; B. O. Ross, of Loncoh, Ark; three sisters, 63 grand-Total, 67 grand- and great-grandchildren; and a host of friends and relatives: Sister Ragsdale was not only a mother, wife and friend. She was one of the most earnest and sincere quiet women of her community. She never engaged in any big, prolonged disputes. She loved and helped her neighbors: she observed and followed her church's lead; there are no charges of any nature by anybody lodged against her. She lived a spotless Christian life. She was old, it is true, but she was all sunshine in her latter days. Sleep on, mother, with your sainted sisters; take your rest some day. We will all meet you where every day will be Sunday and every month the month of May. Active pall-bearers: Dan Ragsdale, Guss Ragsdale, William Ragsdale, Ross Ragsdale, Fred Ragsdale, Adair Ragsdale. All her own sona Mr. W. M. Ragdale is the noted undertaker. He has buried over 1500 people since he has been in the undertaking business. The honorary pall-bearers were not given to us.

Taylor, Chicago, Ill., arrived here from Bermuda Islands, where she had been carrying os a revival for the A. M. E. church. War conditions forced her early return. "A. FRIEND IN NEED 18 A FRIEND INDEED Mr. D. H. Lusk, head of the Southern Pacific Commissary and Dining Car Department, has proven himself a very valuable friend to the many waiters, cooks and his other employees, in their different capacities. A waiter by the name of Nomia Admiral was instantly killed by falling off the platform of a car at San Luis Obispo. Mr. Lusk sent for the body, spending a week or more trying to find out the cause of the accident. He sent the body to his home, to his mother in Austin, Texas. Another waiter, C. A. Ward, died at Los Angeles. Mr. Lusk shipped his body home to his mother in New Orleans. He also sent a man to accompany the body home, bearing the expenses himself. F. Sager died near El Paso, Texas. Mr. Lusk sent for the body. The funeral and burying expenses were managed by Mr. Lusk. The late Cornelius Hubbs, who, after lying for six months confined to his bed, and when the doctors had given up, was also befriended by Mr. Lusk. Mr. Lusk employed a trained nurse to accompany him home so that he could die at home. The nurse's name is Mrs. H. Donaldson. Louis Davis died at Los Angeles recently. Mr. Lusk had his body shipped to New Orleans; also another, R. M. L. Taylor, was killed in Kansas; Mr. Lusk had him buried, and assisted his wife. Mrs. Taylor, in every way possible in her trouble and bereavement. Then there was one of his cooks, C. Harris, who lived in San Antonio. Mr. Lusk, through subscriptions he was done in and in poor circumstances, sent him home, although he had been in his employ but a little while. Mr. Lusk, previous to the illness of Andrew L. Joseph, who died in Los Angeles, told Mr. Joseph's family not to worry about the funeral expenses—that he would give it his personal attention. There are other instances of similar cases too numerous to mention here for want of space. Mr. Lusk has the unanimous confidence in the efficiency of his employees from their record of service which needs no further endorsement. His kindness and consideration are rarely if ever met with—always willing and ready to do even more than his share, keeping strictly in touch with each individual among his many Colored employees in their various occupations, knowing where they are and what they are doing. These deaths have all occurred within the last three years. By C. E. Pearl, From the Scrap Book WATTS NEWS Don't forget the rally at Macedonia Baptist Church, Sunday, the 27th.

Foraker of Ohio. The speakers were Mr. James Vena and E. W. Kinchen. The address of Mr. Vena thrilled the audi- ente as he portrayed the life and deeds of Senator Foraker from a sol- dier boy of sixteen until the close of his eventful life. He spoke of the splendid abilities of Mr. Foraker which caused him: to be acknowledg- ed the ablest man in Congress. and that he used his great power in be- half of the rights: of the Colored peo- ple—how he sacrificed himself and all of his political fortune on the al- tar of the Negro's rights and justiee and fairplay for the Negro soldiers. Rev. Kinchen saidsin part that J. B. Foraker's mame must be counted with that of Charles Sumner, William Lloyd Garrison, Lovejoy, ' Beacher, and John Brown, Lincoln’ and other immortals, The one thing that Sen- ator Foraker tried to nerve the Ne- gro with was self respect and to_in- sist on nothing shorter than his full- est rights as American citizens.

UN MEMORY OF MY FATHER — REV. 8 L. HARRIS. Will you please place s flower on my papa’s grave? Be you whoever you may. And I will pray God’s blessings on you ‘This Decoration Day. It was the month of May when he , ‘left us, ‘Two years ago this month of May: When he grew tired and worn with the cares of life, And went home with God to stay. But, ah! He ‘shall not be forgotten, Let the years come and go as they may. As Ipng as God shall give me strength, “THE SOJOURNER TRUTH HOME” “To develop the highest conception of Christiain womanhood; to ib- fluence the young women with whom the Home comes in contact toward self-reliant ‘and virtuous living; to encourage and promote eficlent ser vice.” ‘These words constitute in part the object of this Home. No grander commendation could be given.” This 1s work of the right sort. Prevention rather than reclamation. This old world will sing a new song and wear a new face when we begin to work this way consistently, Save from rather rescue from. Stand by and hold up, rather than reach down and uft up. : We stand idly by today and watch our grils fall a prey to vileness, de- ceit and degradation. We see their very lives [shattered and broken ps they walk the streets filled with the shadows of men. We see them leave the valley of shame together; the woman with a hung-down head and repentant heart; the man with a holier-than-thou look and. no .com- punetioin of conscience. Society's doors swing wide on their hinges and admit the scapegoat—its arms nearly smother him within its embrace. The poor repentant girl is denied en: trance, branded with cruel anath- emas, left to pine away, forsaken, and unforgiven. What a cruel The condition is heré. The prob- world! What a damnable standard? tem is how van it best be met? Mrs. J. N. Scott, tha’ faithfu. and devoted President of the Home, backed. by number of loyal women, are solving it in the ohly feasible way: By closing up the sources of temptation —by putting a fence around the, top of the cliff—by protecting virtue, rather than resurrect a blighted life. Sunday, May 27, at 3 o'clock p. m., the Home will make its final ap- peal for this impending effort. A program of interest and profit has been arranged. Your presence is re- quested. Your assistance is asked. Your interest is solicited. Duty de- mands a hearing. Honor, retspect and self-preservation clamor for loy- ality. No race can rise higher than its women. We owe our marvelous Drogreas to tho selfrespecting, bon. crable and virtuous women who stood as monuments in times of storm. By pushing forward the work of this Home we can save thelr daughters while lfe is sweet, the soul pure and the character clean. We can do the work a Civic Reclam- ation Soclety wotld do later on. i - Signs of the Times. hnudred and fifty years stay jin the debasing -school of chattel Slavery, and swe: say, that if it took two. hyndred-and fifty years to acquire it then certainly it will require more than’ 54 years'-to shed it.
