California Eagle

En route to Providence, R. L. to visit her mother, Mrs. C. A. Spear Bass, wife of our former townman, Hon. Joseph B. Bass, spent Saturday and Sunday in the city, the guest of her husband's mother, and Mrs. Susie O'Brien. She was accompanied by Miss Lynch, whose destination was Jacksonville, Ill., where she will visit relatives. Saturday she ladies made a few calls and included The Plaindealer in the list, where they spent a pleasant half hour taking "shop" and other topics. Mrs. Bass is managing editor of The California Eagle, and one of the most pleasant ladies it has been our good fortune to meet. She has never afflicted with that disease (swell head) which is so common among "our" people when they are "up." She is just a main, common, every-day business woman without any frills or trimmings whatever, and the act that her husband had told her so often of Topeka and Toekans none of his host of friends were strangers to her, especially H. B. Taylor and a few others. In the afternoon Mrs. Bass and Miss Lynch were tendered reception at the comfortable home of Mrs. O'Brien, 1180 Butuan street, where they were贸ally received and given a welcome such as only Kansans can restow. At the close of a splendid sermon at Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday morning, Pastor Hill, formerly pastor of the church to which Mrs. Bass belongs at her home in Los Angeles, introduced me visitors. It was here that he people got a sample of the north of the eloquent Mrs. Bass. he talked for about twenty-five minutes and captivated the vast audience with her master eloquence and sound logic. Although she resides in California, he speaks the Kansas language, ad her appeal for the Negro to assert the cities and go back to the soil, was convincing and a beautiful picture of future possibilities for the Race. Her face diving with earnestness and aart bursting with love for herople, the speaker reached a max of eloquence and logic then she told her auditors that are-back" dresses and picture with a back-yard filled with bisha was holding the upward arch of the Race and she plead with them to cease worship such idols. She placed the limp of disapproval on "pink us" and urged that more good and work be done toward proving business and education. only she is a great woman, and bisha will always have a warm welcome for Mrs. Bass and Miss Bush—"I. S.," in Topeka Plainfield. AND OPENING OF THOMAS'S APARTMENT HOUSE AT SANTA BARBARA LAST WEDNESDAY. My Out of Towne Visitors Present. Editor of the Eagle Malus Special Trip and Address Assembled Hosts on Foot Garden of Apartment House. Key. H. B. Thomas, pastor of Olive Baptist church at San-Barbara, president of the Bap-State Convention, is not on leader in the spiritual welfare as race in this section, but he takes the lead in giving a local demonstration of mate-gress and not by theory or actual precept. He has with his own hands a large apartment house at Santa Bar-which will stand as a lasting token to his thrift and indus- A silent witness whose very silence brings forth in thunderous tones, "Go thou and do likewise," this building, facing to the westward, two stories in height, thirty by fifty-three feet, built of granite stone hollow wall, the front of which is a small court with entrances to center and two sides, south exposure. There are two large pillars on each side of entrance surmounted by large cement posts, the interior is of the highest finish with a bath to each apartment, thoroughly modern with the very latest effects in electric and gas fixtures. Then as a fitting finish to this magnificent building is the large and spacious roof garden at which place the opening exercises were held on last Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. J. Baker acted as master of ceremonies and after a few introductory remarks introduced Editor Bass, who remarked of the many occasions on which he had addressed various gatherings, that this was the first time that he had the honor of addressing one so sigh up in the air. He congratulated both Rev. Thomas and the citizens upon their real progress and spoke encouragingly indeed of the great work being put forth. Rev. Thomas responded and expressed his appreciation of our message and said his highest aim was to do the things that would be a stimulus to our people and cause them to aspire for real progress. Mrs. A. E. Weber, State Missionary of the Baptist Women's Society, was present and also spoke words of encouragement and congratulation, after which refreshments were served and the guests proceeded to inspect the house. Rev. Thomas said that it was his desire that we should see with our own eyes the work that he was doing and for that reason had us to make the journey to Santa Barbara. We were more than pleased and will say that this man is not talking, but doing. And we need more men who can bring about things as he has done. We feel like the Baptists have done well to put him at the head of their state organization and he no doubt will bring the great body to the forefront with the other great religious bodies of this state. Rev. Thomas is a graduate of Tuskegee and is a living demonstration of the doctrine of the great apostle of industrialism, Dr. Booker T. Washington, and this splendid building is all his own individual handiwork. He made the plans, dug with his own hands the foundation, the plumbing, laid the stone, made the doors, the windows, in fact all of the work except the plastering. All movements in this section that stand for something have his hearty support and truly the Eagle man who journeyed to Santa Barbara on this occasion was uplifted to the utmost. The Angelus Barber Shop at 820 Central avenue, near the Eagle office has changed hands. Mr. Gus Mason, formerly of Helena, Mont., having purchased the same from B. F. Anderson. Mr. Mason has thoroughly renovated this shop and will make it one of the most inviting tonsorial parlors in the city. He makes a specialty of work on children; he also conducts a shining parlor in connection and keeps a line of cigars, tobacco and chewing gum. He is an acquaintance and friend of the editor of this paper and we can recommend him as a first class gentleman and workman and worthy of your patronage. We bespeak for him the highest consideration of those who seek first class work with the same environment. REV. H. B. THOMAS, Under the rules issued, a person of the colored race when registering under the draft, was mortified to see his registration card identified by having the lower left corner torn off i nspite of the fact that the card also required the statement of the fact that the person was oftheEthiopianblood. All other races, Greek, Hindu, Chinese, Japanese, or any other race, was indicated merely by the statement of nationality on the card. Protests against this seemingly needness discrimination reached Congressman Osborne and he promptly took up the matter with the War Department. Captain Osborne asked the reason for the requirement and received a reply from Adjutant General Crowder, that the rule was universal all REV. H. B. of Santa Barbara, Live Wi over the United States and that it had been adopted merely for the sake of convenience in separating the cards. Congressman Osborne, replying to General Crowder said: "I notice that all registrants are divided into three groups, as follows: Group A—Citizens not of African descent; Group B—Citizens of African descent; Group C—All aliens, not declarants, from countries with which the United States is not at war. "The registration cards themselves contain the information as to whether or not the person registered is one of African descent, and I would respectfully suggest that without tearing off the corner of the card there would be no more difficulty in separating the cards of Group A and Group B, then there would be at present in separating the cards of Group A and Group C. "I do not question that the practice adopted was intended for convenience in the hadling of the cards and was not intended to discriminate in any way against Colored registrants. It may seem an insignificant matter, and PAGE ance depends upon the point of view. Applied to a whole Race, I can well conceive that the members of that Race might have a feeling that there had been some unnecessary discrimination with respect to their race, when the discrimination was made in the physical way of handling the cards adopted. "It is hardly necessary for me to refer to the marked loyalty which has been shown by the Colored people, not only since the present war began, but in the previous wars of our country. They make brave and loyal soldiers and nothing needless should be done to injure their sence of personal pride. 1. that we are so mixed up that when you draw the line it rest upon the back of the christian. We have no compunction of conscience at all it seems as regards this evil. Every time that you turn you see some sanctified sister or justified brother laying aside their religion, taking up with hypocrisy, putting their hard earned pennies into a devil-fashioned scheme. I tell you frankly, if we could keep these christians out of the hell holes and get them to keep the Chinks off their door steps we could close them down to-morrow. Think of it a Chinaman, a heathen, a man who knows nothing of God, walking into a home where Christianity presumably reigns, not pausing at the door to knock, but pulling it open and crying out, "hello." I have very little respect for such a home. It used to be that men had a monoply on gambling but times have changed and women refuse to take a back seat. I tell you it is a downright shame and humiliating spectacle to see gray-haired women, some of them mothers scrubbing floors or washing clothes all day and stopping on their way to and from work to lose their money thus earned. battle not at the fell command of kings or lords of war, but for the righteous cause and greet death with a smile; we find the black man as ever before not conceding in the battle's wake, but, in the battle's front fighting as he ever fought for the freedom of other people. While our racial brothers from the African forests on the battle fields of Europe are being accorded all of the rights, privileges and consideration that is accorded any other race of people, the black man of America is being roasted in iron cages, driven from his home in the cities, his wife and daughters ravished, his sons burned and lynched, and that, too, while the Government sends forth the plea for men to forget all differences of race and color and put their shoulders to the wheel—a united people with one Country, one Government and one God. He is forced to leave the sunny southern clime where has was wont to bask beneath the glowing rays of a semi-tropical sun, forced to leave the land he made, the kingdom upon whose throat he crowned cotton king, forced to a land of rigorous winters, and blistering summers to seek an opportunity to assert his manhood, only to find the seed of prejudice had been blown from his Southern cotton fields to the industrial centers of the north. Yet, in all humility he girds his loins for the fray, with the stench from his brother's charred body still strong in his nostrils, while the embers still glow from the fires that brought his own home low, even tho he knows his reward may be death in a furnace lit by the fires of prejudice, tho he knows the protests of those he leaves behind will fall on the ears of a government deaf to teatreaties of twelve million of its most loyal citizens, he relies around that Country's flag eager and willing to espouse its cause. Must the black men forever go on fighting every race's battles but his own? Must he wait in fear and trembling for the protection that is denied him because his benevolent Government needs must send food and men to a people and race that speak an alien tongue? NO! NEVER! Better had he never been brought from his primeval forest hut to this land of the free and home of the brave. Better had he, like the Indian, died in defense of his native shores never submitting to the chains of servitude that seem to have outlived the proclamation of hshis emancipation. It is essential that the American Negro realize that not much longer can he resort to prayer and entreaties, something more than feeble protests is necessary. Lynching, segregation, and discrimination will not stop until the black man demonstrates to the South that those conditions can no longer exist. For his own salvation the black man must learn to fight. He has courage and the innate fighting qualities, yet these attributes will avail him nothing unless he has the military training, without which, to go to battle today is to go to slaughter. The white man of America is sitting in the seat of judgement watching the black man, eager and willing to condemn if he but hesitate, and all to reluctant to praise if his conduct be above condemnation. His actions must be above censure. The race is facing such a crisic as it has never faced before. The door of opportunity is swung wide in its hingen. The black man must awake to the full appreciation of his chances. From bloody slopes of Bunker Hill to the Massacre at Carrizal, history bears brave testimony of his valor when led by white men, the history of Haiti and Abyssinia bear testimony of how he can die when led by men of his own race in a cause truly his own. May God grant that the black man never fight unless he fight for this Country, this flag, and this Government, but political freedom and the right to work and What the Churches are Doing What the Chur SAINTS; HOME CHURCH 20thSt and Hooper Avenue Eddie R.

CLAY JAXON WINS DAMAGE SUIT White Neighbor Must Respond in Damages for Building Brick Fence . 170 Feet Long by 9 Feet High. Willis O. Tyler Conducts Novel Suit A very interesting and complicating question was presented in Department 12 of the Superior Court on the 13th and 14th day of June, when the suit brought by Clay Jaxon, of Pasadena, against Dr. E. M. Clapp, of that city came on for trial. Mr. Jaxon, who is one of the pioneers of Los Angeles County, and well known as one of the strong Race men and business men of the Crown City, has a beautiful home at 278 Elevado Drive, Pasadena, adjoining property belonging to Dr. E. M. Clapp, a white millionaire of Pasadena. In May, 1915, Dr. Clapp erected a brick fence 1770 feet long and 9 feet high along the western boundary of the lot which adjoins Mr. Jaxon's Mr. Jaxon found that because of openings left in the brick fence, the flow of the surface waters falling upon Dr. Clapp's lot was poured upon his lot in greater quantity than before the wall was constructed. Upon making complaint to Dr. Clapp, he was advised that the wall was erected upon the advice of counsel, and that it would remain. Mr. Jaxon immediately engaged Attorney Willis O. Tyler, who entered suit against Dr. Clapp, contending that the erection of the wall with openings therein through which the water passed on to Mr. Jaxon's land was a violation of Mr. Jaxon's legal rights. The suit was tried before Judge Frederick W. Houser, in Department 12 of the Superior Court of this city, and on Saturday, the 30th day of June, judgment was ordered for Mr. Jaxon in the amount of $600 for damages sustained by him for reason of the increased flow of water. Mr. Jaxon by his success, demonstrates the fact that one should stand upon his legal rights supported by the strength and ability of our Race attorneys and content for justice before the Bar of Justice.

Ariz. These boys have gone there, to first "make good" and then be accorded to their worth to the company. They will be instructed by Mr. E. B. Patterson handle the compressor, by Mr. Davis to handle the air drills, dynamite and become efficient underground workers. They will be under the direct tutelage of that king of prospectors, President George W. Miller, and receive instructions concerning ore occurrences and the special geological phenomenon of the Comobabi Mountains. We consider this movement a history-making epoch, in the affairs of the Negro and we are endeavoring to make our entry into the mining world sure, by training Negroes to handle every department of the work and depend upon no one for success except God and the talents he has given us. We should have the co-operation and support of every Negro in this community to successfully finance and operate these mines. We have on hand at present the finest up to date mining equipment, owned and operated by Negroes in this country. In addition to our compressors and air drills, we are now installing track and ore car in the tunnel and the latest modern methods of developing these claims are now in progress. We especially invite Negroes who have a knowledge of mining to join us in this worthy enterprise and investigate the value of our property from a mineral standpoint. Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth has just returned from Tucson and the mines, where he successfully defended us in the first stage of our law suit against claim jumpers. He brought back some fine ore specimens taken from the property and reports the tunnel driven in 110% feet with a 12-foot drift for water development. Mr. Macbeth will address the stock- holders and friends of the company. Tuesday evening, July 19, 1917, at 8 o'clock, at Roberts' Parlors, 1119 So.

Duncan, a Negro barber, thinks it advisable, for the Negro claims to be so patriotic to his country, to dispense with the country's emblem worn on his coat lapel and insert therein a neat little bow of crepe instead. Take down the Américan flag hanging in the churches and assembly halls, fold them up neatly, send them to Washington and ask permission that there may be hung in its place a large piece of crepe, in memory of the Black heroes who made more than a special effort to protect themselves and were hampered by the police and military. Miss Surretha Holt, daughter of the St. Paul Baptist Church, and Mr. F. D. Johnson, a young man of tact and refinement, formerly of Tulsa Okla, were happily married at the home of the bride 27 Ult. Rev. F. H. Davis, pastor of the Mt. Zoon Baptist Church officiating, Florial decorations were elaborate. Many extended greetings to the "Newly Weds" and wished for them a prosperous journey. The "Newly Weds" together with the parents, were the happy recipients of generous courtesies given by Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Botts 1500 Newton street Monday evening. Many person attended the reception given in honor of the "Newly Weds," bringing with them valuable presents and good wishes. On Tuesday night, Mr. and Mrs. Raggett, of 1660, W. 33 St. followed the fitting example set by Mrs. Botts, by spreading a banquet in modern style. It is best described in these words, "There was nothing wanting."

Funeral services were held from the residence of his parents, 2102 Amey St. Thursday afternoon, at 1 the Pullman Service. We must thank the Editor of this paper for his kind consideration in allowing us to a space in his most valuable paper and we hope that all Railroad men will appreciate the same by their Sub-scription to the California Eagle. We have in Railroad service what they call "baker heater" talk which operates trains fires conductors and Superintendents from an imaginative standpoint. We would say let the higher officials do this and you try to do your duty in trying to improve the service thusly you can hold your job whatever it may be. Respect yourself and others will do the same to you. We know of several men in our D. C. Service who have talked themselves out of every job they ever had. That is why they are always walking. Still tongue means a great deal in this, as in other businesses. If Lewis W. King is not a sport, he is not a thing. Mr. P. E. Nutterback is the popular Steward on D. C. 360 and knows "his stuff."

We are aware of the fact that the weather is intensely warm and the flies very agitating, but we must keep our temper and avoid fighting on Dinning Cars. The occurrence on nineteen into Salt Lake on the U. P. was unnecessary. "If you want to show your manly art go to war." Mr. G. W. Henderson a pullman porter from Mineapolis to Los Angeles is well known in his home town and a member of all of the secret organizations and prominent clubs, and wishes to handle the Eagle in his home, feeling that it is a "Soaring Bird." Last Sunday Scot Jones Taylor had an unexpected trip to Kelso, California on the fastest train, No. 2, back to Los Angeles next and on 19. William Taylor was glad to meet his Many friends in Los Angeles last week. Gerald Moore and Harry Williams are very plesantly located in Los Angeles with their families.

It appears to be a silhouette of a laboratory setup with various equipment, including a microscope, a pipette, and a test tube. Comfort and Convenience While Traveling The laws of sanitation make it compulsory that toilets on all passenger coaches be closed while in the city limits and while being transferred across all bodies of water. Especially in the State of Colorado. The traveling public has suffered patiently from this inconvenience with the belief that the railroads could find no remedy for the causes that required such stringent SANITARY MEASURES. The Gonsouland Toilet Hopper and Improved Water Heater and Flushing Device is the outcome of over thirty-five years experience of a Railroad Employee, who has not only seen and studied the expense railroads are under in consequence of the present UNSANITARY methods of operating toilets on all cars, whether Pullman, Private or Regular Coach, but has witnessed the many hardships and inconvenience the traveling public is put to—particularly women and children—at all time, and especially during LAYOVERS and train delays. Necessity for some more modern comfortable and sanitary relief from the present ANTIQUE and UN-HEALTHY conditions of the railroad is the constant study of the comforts of their patrons, but it so happens and quite naturally, that the practical and permanent relief has been devised by a man whose daily occupation brought him forcibly in contact with these long-felt needs. IN CONCLUSION Everything that pertains to the comfort and convenience of the traveling public in the toilet, coupled with facilities for keeping clean the cars with a minimum of trouble and a maximum of hot water, and the possibility of avoiding delays, losses of pocket-books and rings, etc., of passengers, financial losses and litigation to the Railroad, is all combined in these two devices working as one, and I respectfully submit same to the human factors who are constantly studying the interests of the public and the roads they represent, and hope for a favorable consideration and adoption of my patents. The use of these patents may be leased separately if desired. May be used on street cars, overhead trains and suburban electric trains. No removal of present equipment required. Will fit all trains and will meet the approval of the traveling public, Board of Health and Railway Commission. H. P. GONSOULAND TERMS CASH Douglas, Mrs. Hattie - $ 86 74 Douglas, Mrs. H.

TO CHARLES YOUNG Leut. Colonel U. S. Army Read at public meeting of N. A. A. C. P. at which Col. Young spoke Could I portray in words of grace. The service you have done your race; Could I but half such service do; Then I might pen a song to you. If I could cheer my spirit when. Like you, I was despised of men; If through all changes I could hold A faith like yours, so clear, so bold. If under pressure I could see Like you the path to Liberty; If I could hold my trust secure. And laugh and suffer and endure The petty scorn, the daily slight, And keep my feet in paths of right; Could calmly hold my hard won place; And bring a glory to my race A glory whose unclouded sheen Before the world stands big and clean; Then I could feel my song was true. If I should pen a song to you. William Nauns Ricks. July 1, 1917 120 Market St., San Francisco, Cal.

THE EAST ST.

We frankly admit that we are unequal to the task of dispassionately discussing the East St. Louis horror, by no stretch of the imagination could we have made ourselves believe that such fiends incarnate were possible in the bailiwick of Illinois, and that the lowest dregs of civilization would be allowed by the Governor of Illinois to run amuck is more than we were prepared to comprehend, but the cowardly brutes hissed on by soulless women and children have sown the wind, we are satisfied they will reap the whirlwind; we have not lost faith in God and memory carries us back to a crucial period in the bondage when the matchless Frederick Douglass had about given up in despair the successful outcome of freedom's cause, when grand old Sojourner Truth exclaimed, "Frederick! Frederick! is God dead?" it electrified him and from that time on the issue was never in doubt. In this heartbreaking time the race must not forget God, and in his own time justice will prevail. Of course there are many things about this affair upon which we must have more light than that sent out by the Associated Press, before we can be sure as to the real situation. We can not conceive that 20,000 Negroes would allow their members to be murdered without setting a dear price for the same, and especially should they have been prepared, as a warning was given in the riot in May. We believe that an organized resistance to this I. W. W. mob of renegades and rag tag hoodlums would have struck dismay to their cowardly souls, and in this the Negro citizenship would have been wholly justified. The red blooded people, who are people, of this country regardless of race, do not stand for this outrage and they say it's up to the Negro to strike the first blow against these hoodlums and renegades and strike them hard; be not afraid to die and if you must die, let these brutes pay the price. Governor Wm. D. Stephens, after spending two very busy weeks in Southern California, has taken his departure for the State Capital. During his stay here he has given his time solely to the important business of the State, and he has succeeded in infusing the same patriotic spirit that animates him into every man, woman and child resident in the South.

The Eagle is pleased to see this real effort of the police department to rid our city of this class of its citizenship. We believe it high time to declare a moving day for all undesirables and with their passing will also pass the reign of crime and lawlessness which has prevailed. FATHER NELSON CROSSSES THE DIVIDE Rev. C. W. H. Nelson, pioneer A. M. E. preacher on the Pacific coast, was stricken with a stroke of paralysis at his home in San Diego on last Tuesday night.

Funeral services were held Friday from the First A. M. E. church. Rev. B. R. Guy accompanied the body to the city. The services were in charge of Rev. J. Logan Craw. Rev. J. H. Wilson preached the funeral and Rev. E. W. Kinchen and other ministers spoke. Te is survived by his faithful wife and son, Dr. T. J. Nelson of this city. --- --- PETER H.

More than all the other women In these grand United States, 'Tis an awful tale of slander, That the Negro woman relates. More than all the ills of bondage, Though from bondage she is free, There is something that confront her— You have seen throughout the South land, Mulattoes among our race, Sons of Ham, without some other, Ne'er could cause this deep dis grace. But it was the Southern white man, That caused such a thing to be; Robed our women of their virtue, Just because they were not free. Negro women during slavery Gave existence every day, To mulattoes by the hundreds. And there was none who could say nay; For if they were not submissive They were beaten till they would bleed, Then forced, while in this condition To please their master's brutal greed. So today we find mulattoes All throughout this hemisphere. Such is lowering Negro manhood, It will ruin us, friends, I fear; For within our women's virtue, There our strength and life doth lie And if it is killed or trampled What have we to do but die? 1 Wash Grocer 11 Avenue and asks your indulge modern Store in serve our friends better.

CHICAGO, IL When a cry of shame is uttered, That a Negro has disgraced The virtue of a malden fair— Mobs slaughter in our race; But if you would count the persons In the gang that does the shame, You'd not find a being in it Who has not ruined some woman's Do we find this self-same protection For the woman of our race? Can the Negro woman's virtue Get its vengeance for disgrace? Can they go in day or night time, To the courtrooms of the land And get justice? No, they tell them: "You're an unprotected band!" If a Negro man is faithful If a Negro man is faithful To a dusky maiden's name, And defies these hellish spirits— Then he's murdered for the same. So you see there's no protection For the daughters of our race— Greater ill as never measured, None but her meets this disgrace. Write your name upon the limestone And the water bids it fly. Carve your name upon Gibraltar, It will last till ages die. As that is, well, so is virtue. Just as said about a vine. "Just the way that it is started, This is how it will incline." Though abusive this injustice, Our Lord will win the fight, If we pray to Him in earnest, He will make our burdens light. So just let the Southern white man Plan our Negro women's shame God that rules with eres of justice Will some day regain her name.

M. C. Davidson, Indian Agent, at page 131 of the report on Indian Affairs for 1865, said: "The status of the Papagos with respect to the soil ought to be determined in a way that no injustice will be done to them. The Mexican laws, based upon the laws of the Indians promulgated by the kings of Spain, recognized the Indians as subjects or citizens, and in most cases confirmed to them whereever they resided in fixed communities, the titles to the lands where they lived. The Spaniards never made treaties with the Indians, nor extinguished the titles to the land, nor did they in any way recognize them as independent nations. Those who now, by the transfer of the political sovereignty of the Country, find themselves upon American soil, and surrounded by Americans, look for at least a measure of recognition of their equal to that which they enjoyed under the despotic government of Spain. In my opinion, we must regard them as American citizens, and under certain conditions entitled to all their privileges." Rep. Sec. of Int., 1865., p. 299, Ex. Doc. 30th Cong., Vol. 2. It is conceded, as indeed it must be from a study of Spanish and Mexican history, that plaintiff pueblo has continuously occupied the Valley of Santa Rosa from time immemorial. This logically brings us to a consideration of its legal status. We find that, under both Spanish and Mexican laws, extending from the Spanish invasion down to the cession to the United States, all Indian pueblos were accorded large legal and political privileges, with the power of having municipal self-governments and of choosing local officers with due relation to their responsibility to the public, and the power to hold property and to appear in court and sue and defend on their own behalfs. Each pueblo held title to its land in common, and in general its political and legal status was that of a juridicial entity. Indeed, after the Mexican succession, they were elevated to citizenship and civil rights. Hall's Mexican Laws, Sec. 101. The Laws of the Indies, which were begun by decree of Charles V in 1543, and extended by subsequent decrees of the Spanish kings, contain much in recognition of the right of Indian pueblos t of their lands in Mexico. In book IV. Title 12, Law 14 (1578) it is said: "Because we have wholly succeeded to the lordship of the Indies and because the public lands not granted away by the kings, our predecessors, or by us in our opinion belong to our patrimony and royal crown, it is suitable that all the land which is held in possession without just and true titles shall be restored to us as it belongs to us so that, resering before everything that which to us or our viceroy, courts or governors may appear necessary for plazas, commons, public lands, pastures and territory of the inhabited villages and towns in view of their present condition as well as of the future and their possible expansion, and granting to the Indians that of which they may reasonable have need for working the land and making their crops and for their education, confirming them in that which they now have and giving them in addition that which is necessary, all the rest of the lands may remain an dbe free and unencumbered to be disposed of according to our will. Wherefore we order and direct the viceroys and presidents of the pretorial courts that when it appears proper to them they shall announce a suitable limit of time in order that those in possession may exhibit them and the officers of their courts which may name the titles of the lands, plantations, farms, stock farms, protecting those who are in possession with good title and guaranties or with just prescription and they shall return and restore to us the remaining land to be disposed of according to our will." Further quotation from the same laws confirm the Indians in respect to their titles. "We order that the sale, cultivation and adjustment of lands shall be made with such precautions that to the Indians shall be left the lands which belong to them, not only as individuals, but as communities." Book IV, Title 12, Law 18 (1642). "No one shall be allowed to enter into a composition of land unless he has possessed them for ten years; even though he may allege that he has so possessed them, because this pretext alone must not be sufficient, and the communities of Indians shall be admitted to composition in preference to the other particular persons, granting to them every convenience." Book IV, Title 12, Law 19 (1646) "It is just that the Indians shall have time to work their properties and those of the community and that the viceroy and governors shall proclaim that which may be necessary to the end that they can come to their farms." Book VI, Title 1, Law 23 (1600). By the Laws of the Indies, comprehensive provision was made, not only, confirming title to lands held by the Indians individually and in common, but establishing regulations for their better government and especially for the protection of their property rights, with ample provision for access to the courts. I am going into full detail in regard to the titles to the land secured by the Progressive Educational Association, as I deem it extremely essential that everybody contemplating a purchase of these lands in the colony, shall be fully informed, and shall pursue it until the opinion is thoroughly gone into. Very sincerely yours, James H. Logden. Chief Counsel, Progressive Educational Association. A Negro's Point of View loyal people than citizens of color, but loyalty is the loyalty that free men have for the land of their birth, thel loyalty of a thinking people who ask in return only equal citizenship. A renaisance of liberty is sweeping the earth. The morning sun ushered in the day of the slave and the whipping post, but when its last red rays bring to a close this bloody day out of its cataclysm with the birth of a new day will come the true brotherhood of man of which we read so much but see so little. The sentiment of the American people is going to be revolutionized and the Negro is going to be a potent factor in the changing of this current of thought. Nine generations of black people have lived and slaved, fought, bled, and died on American soil and for American institutions and the word traitor has never been applied to one of these. May it never be applied to an American Negro. America is our Country, the land of our nativity, the land of our fathers, and their fathers. Our blood was spilled to wrest it from the claw of the British Lion, our blood was spilled that American seaman might not be impressed on English Man o' wars, our blood was spilled that this country, one and undivided, might remain and freedom wa our reward. Freed, we fought to free the Cuban. We gave our blood in Mexico, the foreign legion of France has records of our worth. Courage we have to live, and the courage to die. Let America call on her black millions, let her place black officers at their head, and for God, for Country, and for Right the American Negro will fight the good fight, a defender of the honor of his Race, a contender for the rights of his posterity.

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 same, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit-sharing basis with all the stock risks illuminated. 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 gushare, 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.
