Prof. J. S. Banks Flays Mob Law at the Forum Analaysis of the East St. Louis Horror Read at the Forum Sunday, July 15th. ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 Prof. J. Analaysis of the Ea ror Read at the July MANUEL BARRERA It is strange irony of fate that the social group in our heterogeneous population who gave their first blood for American liberty, whose loyalty to the flag is a part of their religion who every crisis of the nation requiring the test of patriotism in the clash of arms with foreign foe, have proved their strength and devotion to the nation's cause; who even in the very earliest days when the nation was rent with sectional strife and fratricide when the shackles of slavery had rarely fallen from their limbs—still food up like men, and fought and died that the nation might live—I try it is astrange irony of fate—that such a people cannot even at this late day find protection under the flag from the murderous assults of a people obsessed with the most human missions, as unrestrained as wild casts of the jungles. These people, so, claim to be the progeny of the world's best civilization. Just eleven days ago we were celebrating the Fourth of July, the days in the American mind; the creed day—when feelings of patriotism reach the high water mark and the rejoice in the strength of our national entity; when we re-dedicate ourselves—our all in all declaration of JUDGE F. S. FORBES. independence. It seemed especially significant that on the fourth of July our nation should be preparing war with a foreign government whose imperial power is considered a tenace to the liberties of mankind, nor America has long been recognized as the champion of human liberty and human justice. America is the big brother of the world. But here is another view, a striking deporable contrast. On this same Fourth of July, just passed, a reign of terror, a carnival of murder was being conducted in East St. Louis in the United States. Men, women, and children—of them native-born Americans—of them law-abiding citizens—were being tortured and killed in a manner rarely to be conceived of among any other people claiming even a small degree of civilization. When the hear of the atrocious murder and brutal treatment of the Jews in Russia, of the slaughter of Armenians by the Turks, the world stands aghast.ations are fired with indignation. All the weight of their diplomacy, their religion, their money, and whatever else they can reasonably bring to bear, are thrown into the scale against it. The United States, true to our noble traditions, may be found always in the very forefront of the ```markdown ``` The S. Bank East St. Louis Hor- Forum Sunday, 15th. rations thus protesting in the interest of humanity. But where among Christian peoples, except in the United States, at the present time, has murder, meerly for the sake of murder, become a community festival? "Negro shoots" in this country are more popular than clay pigeon shoots. Killing Negroes on a grand scale is becoming a moveable feast in Christian America. In some sections of the country, at least, it may reasonably be standardized with other community fetes, and it will doubtless eclipse them all in genuine soul thrill and glory glee. What significance could the Fourth of July have had to the white citizens of East St. Louis? To the Negroes—those who may have still been living to endure the prolonged tortures of body and soul, we know that the Fourth of July brought a vision of hell with all of its furies turned lose. What could the Fourth of July have meant to the Governor of Illinois? What could it have meant to the state of Illinois? May we not ask also, in the light of events just enacted in East St. Louis, what can the Fourth of July now mean to the United States—now—as the nation goes forth to战 for the world? And then, in a very particular sense permit us to ask what can the Fourth of July mean to the National Guardsmen of Illinois—those who having been sent to the scene of trouble to restore order and protect innocents, freely surrendered their arms to the community murderers who requested it, lest the soldiers might hurt someone? Soldiers! What a travesty! We may find particular pride in the fact that it has never been recorded of any American Negro in the uniform of a soldier that he handed over his gun to the enemy in voluntary surrender. Negroes do not make that type of soldiers. If National Guardsman at East St. Louis passed over their weapons to the mob—and it is reported that they did—they were, of course, not in sympathy with even the feeble efforts of the state to protect citizens who were Negroes. These Guardsmen sympathized with the mob. They believed not in law and order. They had no conception of the duty of a soldier—no sense or honor; no courage of manhood. They "laid down" to the enemy—cheerfully—willingly—and "grinned" when asked the reason why. That is the way the newspapers reported it. It is the practice among nations that when soldiers surrender to the enemy without resistance, such soldiers shall be courmartialed and shot. There is no danger of such a thing in this instance, of course, and there is no desire that it should be done, but the act is none the less dishonorable and despicable, for the state can have no worse enemy that its own citizens who mockingly brush aside its authorities and use the instruments of law and order only to faclate lawlessness and disordered. Now consider this; The Negroes who were beaten and bullied and murdered at East St. Louis, were not criminals. They had committed no wrong. They were not vagabonds. They became easy prey of the murderers, because, it is alleged, they worked where work was offered—where work was required to be done. It is stated by employers, according to newspaper reports, that not a single white man had lost a job because of the employment of Negroes; that all white men who wanted employment received it, and that there was till a shortage of labor to man the industries of East St. Louis. There are those who tell us now that the human slaughter in that horrible City was the result only of a labor riot, but I do not think such a view would hold in the light of close investigation. But suppose it was a labor riot. In what way does it alter the case? The one big fact that overshadows everything else in connection with the matter, is that citizens were wantonly murdered without any cause which seems even remotely reasonable. I hold—and I know I hold ```markdown ``` California Eagle San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JULY 21, 1917 PETER H. H. Th Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, D.D., Bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M.

Everybody is welcome. POOR ORIGINAL with all right thinking people—that whether or not a man be black or whote, brown or yellow; whether or not he is a member of the labor union—inclined to strike or not strike—he cannot forfeit his right to live and work just as a mere man and a mere citizen. We know, of course, that labor riots often assume very serious proportions, entailing the destruction of life and property, but the various states, as well as the national government, have been very stern in their attitude toward such movements. They have always been quick to adopt effective means of checking any labor uprising that was resigned to block the wheels of industry or obstruct the channels of commerce. During the administration of President Cleveland, he did not lieitate to send soldiers of the regular army into the city of Chicago to quell a labor riot. This he did without the request of the Governor of Illinois. Mr. Rosevelt did not hesitate to take hand a hand when there was trouble in the anthracite coal region, Congress, last fall, at the request of President Wilson, passed the Adamson law as a preventive of the threatened strike by railway employees. This very day soldiers of the regular army are patrolling the mines at Globe, Arizona, to keep down any demonstrations. These are instances (Continued on page 4) Th Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, D.

Ever THE GRAND MUSICAL CON- CLAVE OF THE ALL AMERICAN LEAGUE AT WESLEY M. E. CRURCH A PROFOUND SUCCESS. Notwithstanding the unusual number of public functions last Monday night, Wesley M. E. Church had a very large and appreciative audience present to witness the unique musical program rendered largely by pupils of the different music studios of this city. Among those teachers and studios represented were Mrs. M. E. Mallory, Miss Lilias G. Hart, Mrs. M. O. Bowers, Professors Douglass Greer and E. Atkinson. These demonstrated to the satisfaction of the very appreciative audience present that the great work they are doing for the musical training of our youth is very satisfactory and successful. Not only was the very excellent training of their pupils shown to a great advantage, but the thorough efficiency of the teachers shown to a great advantage. Mrs. Chas. Herbert was Mistress of Ceremonies and she acquitted herself in this trying position very creditable. The opening number, anthem, by Wesley Choir, led by Prof. Albright, showed the work of cultured voices in complete harmony. Rev. Shaw, the pastor, made a very appropriate invocation and John Hall's Famous Jubilee Singers, as usual, received great applause and accores. Then followed a very eloquent address by President J. C. Colly, All-American League, wherein he showed it was the purpose of the League to stand for good citizenship in its making, and as to one of the best means of fostering patriotism was to begin at home, in the family the unit of society, and make for an POOR economic preparedness that will guarantee each and every citizen equal opportunity. Master Jodie Shipply accompanied by Miss Laura Shipply, rendered a violin solo that was well executed and showed both great skill and the excellent teaching of Mrs. Hallory. Little Miss Ernestine Jones, who was entered by her mother, who was confident that her daughter would excel, played a waltz in E flat so true to touch and inspiration that she received repeated applause and responded with an encore of equal merit; Miss Edna Heard showed great finish in her performance of two classics from Shubert and Goddard; she was followed by a pianist, Misses Barbara Alexander, Grace Grehot and Helen Harold, in the "Barcarolle," Offenbach-Silver, which demonstrated most satisfactory the painstaking teaching of Miss Liliah G. Hart, who is unquestionably the mistress of the musical art. Mrs. O. Bowers was represented on the program by little Miss Hilda Baker, who gave a faultless rendition of a piano solo, "Hungary," Op. 13, again appearing with Miss Irene Salisbury, who first had rendered effectively "Sonata Pathetique," Op. Beethoven, in the piano duet, "La Reine Des Fees." Op. 42. The duet was most ably rendered by the Misses Baker and Salisbury. Little William Narcisse handled his violin solos like a young master. Professor Greer directed the Second Baptist Choir in a truly masterful manner, and the choir showed a resonance and finish inferior to no choir in the city. The vocal solos of Professor E. Atkinson stamped him a singer of genuine worth with a warm sympathetic voice.

All of the numbers were generously encored and the performers readily responded with new effort. After the performance the membership rolls of the All-American League were opened, a large number oined. There were also refreshments served in the basement. On a whole the musicale was a grand success and the President stated would be an annual event. This article would not be closed properly without stating that he Committee on Decoration made the auditorium profuse with American flags and floral pieces. To Mr. Baker and his able assistants much credit is due, also to Mrs. Jones and E. H. Hubbs. NOTABLE MEET NG HELD At First Methodist Episcopa Church, Pasadena, Sunday. It was a great meeting, at a great church, by a great people and at a great time on last Sunday afternoon at the First M. E. church in Pasadena. The occasion was gotten up as an expression meeting, and truly the expression there, if crystalized into sentiment, would undoubtedly make the country one great democracy indeed. The meeting was presided over by Rev. W. E. Kinchen. The first speaker introduced was the Rev. Smith, pastor of the great church, OFFICER. LITTLETON McDUFF GAINS HIGHEST MARK IN COMPETITIVE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION. During his seven years a member of the department watched his career in the clerical positons and field In a recent competitive examination held by the Civil Service Bureau to secure eligibles for the rank of Detective Sergeant in the local police department, Officer L. McDuff successfully stood the written and oral tests and received the highest rating of the one hundred applicants. We wish to commend Officer McDuff for the manner in which he has even exceeded the expectations of his many friends by his diligent study in order to enable himself to fill his position with credit to himself and his Race. who left no one in doubt as to his position for a real democracy, and in a scathing rebuke denounced the mob spirit that prevailed at East St. Louis. Mayor Hamilton was next introduced. He, too, gave expression to the highest and most noble sentiments and extolled the colored people of Pasadena in such words of appreciation as must indeed be HUGH E. MACBETH to them an incentive toward the acquirement of additional worth. Judge F. S. Forbes, the next speaker, expressed himself so that no one could misunderstand him, and in one of the most notable addresses to which the writer has ever listened, discoured on democracy, in which the ruling thought was that we must first "Justify Democracy" with ourselves. His address was greeted with thunderous applause. The next speaker was Attorney Hugh E. MacBeth, who, in his usual forceful and eloquent manner, brought out his ideals of all-Americanism—thus bringing to a fitting climax one of the most notable occasions ever held on the Pacific Coast. Special mention is due the mighty choir of the Eighth and THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 23 Forum During his seven years service, as a member of the department, we have watched his career in the different clerical positions and field details and believe that the confidence reposed in him by his superior officers is well placed. We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the Honorable Board of Civil Service Commissioners for their fair and square dealing, thus corroborating the words of the Eagle, "Success must be attained by merit alone." We anticipate the early promotion of Officer McDuff to the rank of Detective Sergeant, which has already been reached by Officers Glenn and Stevens, and assure all three, as well as the other members of the department, our hearty co-operation in the suppression of crime. Towne avenue church. This choir has fifty-five members, and the large audience enjoyed their renditions to the utmost. Rev. Kinchen, in whose fertile brain was evolved the idea of holding this great meeting, is especially entitled to much credit for the thought and putting the same into execution. THE PERFORMING DJUICY PACKERIE THE FIGHTING PARSON RETURNS WITH HIS GOLDEN SMILE After an evangelistic campaign in the states of Arizona, Colorado, and Wyoming, the Fighting Parson, Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, returned to the city, oh last Saturday, and preached at the Tabernacle Sunday afternoon. He was greeted by a large congregation. The parson looks the picture of health and reports a wonderful success in his campaign. He will rest up here in a few days and will depart for the National Convention to be held at Atlanta, Ga. He has many engagements en route. The parson is a great friend of the Negro press, and never fail to remember them. We are strong for him to be the next Evangelistic Secretary of the National Baptists Association. POMONA NEWS A. M. SUMMER, NEWS. A. SIMPSON, PASTOR Rev.

SOCIETY BANQUET DE LUXE GIVEN BY PACIFIC COAST TABERNACLE INTERNATIONAL ORDER OF TWELVE On last Tuesday evening, at Central Hall, on Washington and Central Ave., was given the most elaborate banquet of the season by the above organization. It was truly prepared and served in six courses a la De Luxe and will easily rank as the very best conducted and service of any occasion of the kind ever held in the city. Mr Bert MacDonald, as Toast Master, was superb, and the various toasts rendered highly fitting for the occasion. Great credit is due Mrs. Vernon Grays as chairman of the arrangement committee; Mrs. J. Clark, her assistant, for the splendid arrangement which made this the stellar event. Also the work of the other committees which did such signal service, consisting of Mesdames Jackson, Batiste, Doggins and Miss M. Busy. A Birthday Party. Mr. W. M. Patterson was tendered a very brilliant birthday party at his cosey residence, 777 East 15th St., on the 17th. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Lunn, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Chas, Riece, W. R. Grace, and Mrs. L. H. Wilson. Mr. Patterson was the recipient of many handsome presents. At 11:30 a beautiful luncheon was served. The evening was most pleasantly spent in games and social chatting. Miss Josephine Foster and Mr. Chas. W. Wilson were married at the residence of Mrs. A. J. Franklin. 1240 E. 9th st. Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. Logan Craw. Miss Foster is one of our energetic and most industrious young women, and Mr. Wilson one of our thrifty young men. The Eagle extends congratulations to the happy couple. Cupid Apnears. On Friday evening Mrs. C. Hulbert of 1468 E. 20th St. entertained in honor of Miss Antoinette Young. The house was crowded with young people, who amused themselves with music and in talking until the program was called. The numbers were appreciated by all, and especially the solo of Miss Young's, whose engagement to Prof. R. G. Jackson of Western University of Kansas City was announced in a very unique manner by Cupid, who appeared in the parlor in the person of Master Fletcher Robinson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaiah Robinson of E. 18th St., and after having spoken to little Ernestine Jones, departed. Alhis departure Miss Jones found a card on the floor, and upon reading its contents aloud, disclosed the secret of two hearts. Refreshments were then served the guests. Charming Wedding.

We also had visitors from Pasadena and Pomona, Rev. Edward preacher for us both in the morning and afternoon and he gave us a glorious message at both services, nil the morning he spoke from Acts, 10:34; and in the afternoon from Rom.. 12:2. Rev. E. Wilson, pastor of the Second Baptist Church and Rev. Parks were with us in the afternoon. The voice of every one is proclaiming the ojy that they had at Fish Canyon on the Fourth of July, where they attended a picnic and barbecue given under the auspices of the church. The lectures given by Dr. Shaw of Wesley Chapel and Rev Price of Wards Chapel shall not soon be forgotten. The Shining Star Glee Club entertained for the church at Duarte School House on Tuesday night, the audience was composed mostly of white people, who spoke of them in the very highest terms. POOR POOR ORIGINAL tertainment of the kind ever given in Los Angeles. Among the many delectable features (classey but not classic) are: 1.

Here you catch a whiff from the breezy isles of the Pacific. 3. Movent musicale, many maidens moving in measured movements, making magnificent maneuvers to magnetic music.

ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma Sts. Rev. B. C. Robeson, Pastor. In Golations the 6th chapter and 7th verse, is found these words: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," was the subject of a beautiful yet practical text last Sunday by the pastor. He spoke of the sinners and their folly, which seem to satisfy only for the time being and how eventually it ends up in sorrow and shame. He compared the lives of sinners with that of some explorers who were lost in the wilds of South America, and after their food had run out how they subsisted on a plant which seemed to fill and satisfy, but they grew week and emaciated all of the while, because of the fact though the plant could appease hunger, yet it did not THE RUSSELL AND THE MEDICAL INSTITUTE Gonsouland Car Toilet Device (PATENTED) 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 Grossoil Toll Truck Hooper 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 method of operating toilets on all cars, whether Pullman. Private or Regular Coach, but has witnessed the many harms and inconvenience the traveling public is put to—particularly women—with in the past. The Railroad Officials have always studied and sanitary relief from the present ANTIQUE and UNHEALTHY arrangements now in use has always appealed to the Railroad Officials who constantly study 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. 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 Mr. Luke McClain is on the sick list with a sore hand.

(Continued from page 1) labor trouble pure and simple, tother with the procedure used ainst them. But the history of race troubles ads differently. The mental attitude the law authorities seems naturally ferent here the persecution of Neoes has been carried on at various nes and places. Look at Atlanta; monly subjected? Well may we lift our voices in lamentation with David: "I looked out on my right hand and beheld but there was no man that would know me, refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.' We will probably learn before long that it is useless to rely upon sympathetic authorities to give us the protection which is our legal due. Necessity may drive us to settle somethings ourselves with those who would murder us and even our babes in their cradles. The labor phase of the trouble at East St. Louis, in my opinion, was only a surface development. Why then, do you ask, were Negroes so brutally dealt with at East St. Louis? Because, mainly, the enforcement of law regarding "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, so far as the Negro is concerned, has never been a serious MUTILATED ED PA MUTILATED PAGE PAGE FOUR ADVERTISING RATES, 50c per inch. 4. _____ Prot. J. S. Banks. (Continued from page 1) of labor trouble pure and simple, together with the procedure used against them. But the history of race troubles reads differently. The mental attitude of the law authorities seems naturally different here the persecution of Negroes has been carried on at various times and places. Look at Atlanta; lok at Memphis; look at East St. Louis. Cast your eyes any day over Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, or Texas. From that quarter has there ever come a voice strong enough to be heard in the interest of Negroes? When has the mailed fist of the law ever been raised to stop the inhuman treatment to which Negroes are com- THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE matter with any state government, and because of our dual system of government, the federal authorities have assumed no real responsibility in the case. It is a sort of unwritten law that Negroes shall be subject to any kind of treatment that it may please white Americans to give them. It is generally accepted as proper. This spirit, of long cultivation, has resulted not only in a widespread indifference to written law, but often resolves itself into real contempt for any suggestion of law which would mean only one rule of conduct for all the people, regardless of race or color. If white Americans are disposed to be fair and just in their treatment of Negroes—as many of them are—it is simply because they wish to be—for reasons higher than any with which the state concerns itself. If white Americans do not wish to be fair and just toward Negroes, their prejudicial conduct may take on any form and become very excessive before the state permits itself to be concerned. The point is, that the white man's attitude or conduct towards the Negro is a matter purely of personal privilege—not influenced by and statutes of the states or the nation. Of course, the state must affect some sort of indignation and embarrassment when these excessive outrages occur. It permits to pass unnoticed the mistreatment of Negroes in a general way; it regards with indifference, sometimes—often—individual instances of cold-blooded murder of Negro men, women and children; but coducting human butchery on the order of a holiady carnival, is perhaps too new an institution to pass over without some offer of explanation. The World would not understand. However, if the state permits the smaller instances referred to, it must stand for the larger. The state is responsible. It has permitted one class of citizens to indulge its prejudices and passions regardless of law, of ethics or religion. In the meantime it has practically denied to another class of citizens the ordinary privileges of citizenship. It has willfully neglected to safeguard the latter class of citizens in the enjoyment of those "inalienable rights" noted specifically in the declaration of principles upon which the nation was founded. I would not have you understand that the above reference of to any particular state. It may apply to any one of the many of the states comprising the United States. It is a question, indeed whether any state or section of our country is really immune from this contaminating evil. It is simply the weak place in Americanism—the best expression that our national democracy has yet been able to give. in spite of all that the Fourth of July stands for. East St. Louis is not worse at heart than Memphis, Illinois is not worse than Tennessee, or Georgia, or Mississippi. They are all Americans, and they are congenial, it would appear, in the prevailing fashion of butchering Negroes. It is a fashion, we hear, in which women and children are permitted to participate merrily and equally with the men. It is a festival of murder. There is one fact in connection with the new streak of Americanism which invites very particular attention from thoughtful people. It is this in the midst of the racial conflicts which we are having from time to time in this country, it appears, beyond all question, that the standard of American character is being lowered—or is at least in process of a very strange transformation. The high ethical standards, humanitarian principles, and ideals of democracy, set up by the fathers of the republic, do not now seem to be so firmly fixed in the hearts and minds of the American people as they were in former times. Fifty years ago, for instance we could hardly believe that a woman—even thought she belonged to the humbles classes—could be voluntary witness to scenes of murder, and that she could be a willing participant in the act of murder, is hardly thinkable. Not even the most cruel slave masters, we do not believe, would permit their wives and daughters to witness the punishment of slaves. The slave oversees, that type of humanity considered "a thing apart" among Southerners, was the instrument of cruelty for the slaves, and his operations had to be far removed from the presence of people of finer feelings. The case is different today, it seems. White men who are now practicing this new form of Negro butchery seem to be teaching their wives and children that it is not only pleasant and proper to murder Negroes, but that it is a pastime calling for heroes; that it is sublime to mutilate the bodies of Negroes after the murder is done—to gouge out their eyes and chop of their limbs, and keep them as souvenirs. This is a recent development in our civilization. It is a disease of course. It is a cancer—gnawing at the heart of the republic. Just now I believe that the nations has far more to fear from her own health—more orally considered—than all the war machinery of Germany and her allies. American character—American morals—are showing signs of decay. All that a real democracy can be based upon—all that Christianity can survive upon, is gradually falling away..The foundation is rotting. Do you wonded that Colonel Roosevelt apologized to the members of the Russian Mission at Carnegie Hall, for the scenes at East St. Louis? Do you understand that? He apologized to the members of the Russian Missions—and the apology was timely. Verily, the evil days have come upon us. The night is dark for us as a face. The storm is raging, but we shall not lose heart, nor shall we lose our head, and surely, in the providence of God, we shall weather the storm. Let us remember that if it be dark for us as a race, it is also dark for the nation. We cannot be better than the nation of which we are a part; neither can the nation be better than we. Our destinies are interwoven. Truly, the days are numbered for any system of society, in the present age, that would operate upon the principal that some people be up while others shall be down. Sometimes our institutions seem to be tottering, but God forbid that they shall ever fall, it may be true—and let us hope that it is—that our country's entrance into the present world war for humanity will bring about that regeneration which the country needs in order to serve the high purpose for which it exists. It may be true that when the great strife is over, and America, with other nations of the earth, shall have poured the last drop of blood required upon the altar of sacrifice, that the spirit of the fathers will again revive this nation, and there shall come a nobler conception of man's relation to man, and man's relation to God—than we have ever kown before. It may be then that the world will require a standard of manhood and womanhood based upon the qualities of mind and soul rather than upon the racial identity of the beings. It may be then that in our country, among this people, the doctrines of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man will be accepted in spirit and in truth. If by our conduct and continued devotion of the best interest of the nation, whether those itest be at home or abroad, we shall be able to help preserve that which is best in our national life, and purge it of those damnable influences which would destroy not only us as a race, but the whole social fabric—the nation—as well, we shall be rendered the most effective service to the race, and we shall be patriots of a noble character.

WHAT WE HEARD AT THE SUN DAY SCHOOL AND B. Y. P. U. CONVENTION Things are never done in part at the Tabernacle Baptist Church, but as a whole Rev. J. D. Gordan, wife, and his entire membership seemed to have stood as a unite in making the delegates and friends comfortable and happy at the Convention. We are alway enjoy our visits at this church. To say that the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Convention is improving wonderfully each year is saying very little, they have accomplished a great work that will redound to the honor and glory of God. To look in on the Convention while at work you would hardly know where you were at, and were it not for the thoughtfulness of the Presidents in reminding the ministers and others, who persisted in points of order, and long remarks, that this was the young People's meeting. The B. Y. P. U. Convention, not the State Convention, or the Western Baptist Association, you could never guess this, fact from observation, for the same men and women that hold offices and are workers in the Parental Body are the same men and women that are doing the work of the Auxiliary bodies, with exception of a precious few. I wonder wheer is our young people? Many of our young people are Christians. Some of our girls and boys have finished high school and gone through collage and are thoroughly prepared as far as ability and qualification is concerned, and yet in these young people's conventions if we get a vocal or instrumental or short paper or a reading, from our young people, we think that is sufficient, they have entertained us, and that is all that is necessary. But that is not all for this work that is so full of soul satisfaction is demanding not only the young people to entertain, but to get into the "King's business, and fill positions of honor and trust, for the Master says, "Work while it is day," and, "remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth Our country is calling for the flower of the race. Our very young men. Our Master is calling for young men and women of every race to give Him a life of Service. Rev. R. N. Hout preached for the S. S. Convention on Tuesday evening, for his text, "Is the young man Absalom safe," These was the words of David the father. Rev Holt inquired of the parents, after looking over the empty seats. "Are the young women and the young men safe, where are the young people that should be filling these seats?" But in connection with his sermon. He said that in this day and time, our children, are grown at, 13, old at 20, and grand parents at the age of 35, and at 40, they become sweet sixteen again, so if that is true no wonder we cannot find the dividing line between youth and old age. The addresses of both Presidents, Mr. J. M. Reynolds of the S. S. Convention, and Mr. S. P. Johnson of the B. Y. P. U. Convention each told of a labor of love and earnest endeavor, recommendations for Missionaries on the field, and of fostering interest in the Old Folks Home. President Reynolds boldly and fearlessly denounced the treatment given our people in East St. Louis. Mr. Reynolds si both a soldier and a Christian man. He declined the office of President of the S. S. Convention to answer his countries call, to train our young men for the army. Presidet Johnson, spoke of the number of boys and young men who had learned sloyd work at School, and are competent furniture and cabinet makers. He advised that these young men be organized into a company to do that kind of work, thereby benefiting themselves and others as well. Little or nothing was said about the old Folks Home. Our people as a rake do not appreciate that which belongs to them, they appreciate that which belongs to others. Here is one large new building; one old building and four fine acres of land land alying idle for want of some one to utilize it. They spoke of a Rescue Home, Orphan Home and give the girl something to do, and the boy something to do. Here is a splendid opportunity for S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Convention also the State and Western Bpt. Association to really get to work, plenty of room for the boys to have shops or factories for making furniture, tents or flags, plenty of space for a laundry or domestic science, so the girls might have work. And the old People could look after the little ones. All this could be done with a little effort if we cut out the long talks resolutions. Pray for a leader, and be willing to work as young Rozier admonished us to do. In fact to my mind the paper Mr. Hilbert Rozier read was the best thing I heard at the Convention; It reminded me of one thing that our beloved Mr. Booker T. Washington said in one of his last speeches in our city. He said, "I am glad that God gave me brains enough to thing, and courage enough to stand alone, if I think I am right." The Missionaries got a chance to tell of their work and needs the encouragement was small. But since God commanded men to preach and women to go tell, and since, that commission has never been revoked we will not be discouraged. Sister Whitfield that noble women representing the National training school, Washington, D. C. brought greetings from the workers all over the U. S. The Convention gave $10.00 towards the erection of a new building to make room for the girls. Why don't we do the same here. "Charity begins at home." Yours for saving the Young and Cherishing the Old Folks. MINNIE J. DAVIS R. F. D. No. 2 Box 73, Compton, Cal. FOR REMT LIEUT. COLI. CHAS. YOUNG better in his life, headed by Attorney Hudson, flashed the word to the CALIFORNIA EAGLE, and editorially we gave to the country our fears, in our issue of June 23, and this was taken up all over the country. Letters were sent to senators and representatives, and the above is a frustration, we verily believe, of the efforts put forth. Much praise is due to other forces, to nip this injustice in the bud. Our own attorney, Chas. S. Darden, did noble service, and through his personal friend, Hon. Kelly Miller of Washington, D. C., got in touch with Secretary Baker of the War Department. As a result of the same, the following letter from Attorney Hudson of San Francisco, the Secretary did all that he promised and, as a result, our citizens are glad to know that they have been granted a hearing which was not in vain. War Department; Washington, D. C. July 16, 1917. Dear Mr. Miller:—Your correspondent writes chiefly about Lieut. Col. Young, a colored officer of the regular army and a graduate of West Point, and a man with a fine record for service in the army. Some time ago a board of officers passed upon his health and found him completely incapacitated for service—not obviously and visibly—but because, unfortunately, of their finding that he was afflicted with a chronic disease. My recollection is that it was Bright's disease. The report of the board was approved by the surgeon general; but, in view of the fact that Col. Young's record is a long and honorable one, and the Government needs officers of his rank and ability, it was directed that another board be convened to re-examine the question so as to make quite sure that there could not be any error in the matter. I have directed that the report of the Board be returned to me personally before being acted upon—not because I find myself able to believe that any prejudice would produce the deep dishonor of a false report—but because I want to be able to give the assurance to all who inquire that I have given my own personal thought and attention to this case, in which so many are interested. Office 742 3rd St. BLACKS FOUGHT BACK AT EAST SAINT LOUIS Not So One Sided After All Just as We Thought. East St. Louis, July 10—It was not all a massacre of lone colored men and defenseless women and children in this town. At times the whites ran up against a group of blacks, armed to the teeth and ready to sell their lives dearly. Then it was that the true courage of the white mobs was demonstrated. For, still outnumbering five to one the organized blacks, the white mobs discovered an engagement elsewhere and backed away, leaving the ground to the colored men. Lest your correspondent be doubted in the statement of what he saw with his own eyes. I will give here a statement from the St. Louis Republic (white) of July 3. "Thousands of Negroes, far from being cowed by the method of the white man's revenge, continued fighting back all day and far into the night. That more than 100 of their race had been disposed of during the day appeared not to enter into their calculations at all." Such is the tribute of a white paper to the black men who refused to be cowed by white cowards." LONE MEN AND WOMEN VICTIMS. It can be truthfully said that the only victims of the murderous and cowardly white mobs were lone black men and defenceless women and children. Sometimes, it is true, a group of eight or ten colored men were set upon and murdered, but in every instance of this kind the blacks were either unarmed or afraid to fight. Those who fought generally escaped with their lives. The white mob was out for FUN!—not for FIGHT! COLORED RESCUE ATTEMPTED. And when word reaehed East St. Louis that the colored men of Bellville, Brooklyn, Cahokia, Alton, Granite City, Venice and East Carondelet were mobilizing to invade the city to avenge the deaths of their fellow blacks—a life for a life—genuine fear was apparent among the white mobs and feverish demands were made that the militia and police of the city guard the approaches to the city. But this word could not be substantiated, except at Brooklyn. This colored town, where the population is almost entirely black was up in arms against East St. Louis, but no organized effort was made to strike back at the whites. When word of the riots reached officials of the Illinois Steel Company and the Com onwealth Steel Company at Granite City, they refused to let their thousands of colored employees leave the works, for fear they would join their friends in Eagst St. Louis. ATTACK WOMEN. One white mob chased a colored woman at the Relay Depot. White girls and women were brandishing clubs and calling on the mob to kill the woman. A lone colored man was encountered and shot to death. A colored man was dragged from a street car, beaten, shot to death, and his face trampled upon by white men and girls. The mob chased a colored man down Collinsville avenue. He was caught, beaten and shot. MEET BLACK WALL. The mob then turned back down the street, and at the mouth of the "Black Valley" encountered a mob of fifty men. The whites then numbered about 500. But THE WHITE MEN URNED BACK, refusufing the challenge to battle of the colored man when organized to defend his life. The whites were not after a fight with men of the race that fought at San Juan Hill, at Carrizal and a hundred other battlefields! All they were after was FUN, and this was best offered by LONE colored men and de- [Phones: Main 1613, Main 6128] fenseless colored women and children. GERMANS THEIR ALLIES. The foreign born scum of East St. Louis were supported by American police and militia in their murderous and cowardly attacks on American lives! German enemies of the United States were their allies! MILITIA LET THEM BY. At Third street, near City Hall, the mob was faced by a cordon of soldiers who however, after such arguments as "It's the blacks we are after, stand back and let us pass. We're born white and will stay white," weakneed, lowered their bayonets and the streets were left open. —Amsterdam News. Y. M. C. A. Rally Concert Although we are a bit late in announcing the outcome of the Y. M. C. A. rally concert, it is highly gratifying to state to the public that it was a complete success from every point of view. We fully realize and appreciate the fact that the entire credit for the success of this concert rests wholly with the different participants on the program, and the 400 noble friends who came and listened to one of the greatest programs ever staged in Los Angeles. Everybody on the East Side, in the vicinity of 9th street and Central avenue, knew that "something was doing" when at 8 o'clock Lossiter and Eggleston's brass band struck up one of those catchy selections which you could not keep away from if you tried to do so. At 8.45 p. m. Miss Mamie V. Cunningham, master of ceremonies for the occasion, in her characteristic, modest way announced to the audience that their patience would be rewarded by opening the program with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hubbard. After prayer was offered by Rev. Hubbard, the brass band scored its second hit by the rendition of a beautiful selection. The next number was a piano duet by Misses Ernestine Jones and Georgie Carruthers. The little Misses were well received and responded to an encore. Mr. J. E. Albright pleasingly rendered a vocal solo. It was done so well that he, too, responded to an encore. Mr. Owen Troy and his violin—judging from the applause—were easily the favorites of the evening. After an encore, a second encore was called for, but young Troy modestly refused. After the concert was over, Prof. Wilkins remarked to us that Mr. Troy is the best Negro violinist in the city. We will take our chances on it that the Professor knows what he is talking about. Mrs. Estelle Roberts Saunders' piano recital was well received. Mrs. Saunders has long since established a reputation as a pianist of no mean ability, but refused an encore after prolonged applause. Mr. Emanuel Hall seemed to be inapacitated with a cold, but had to respond to an encore. There are lots of famous folks who sing, but we are here to tell you that Emanuel Hall is still on the globe The closing number was rendered by Prof. W. T. Wilkins. When we say "Prof. Wilkins," that should be enough. An ovation was given the Professor at the close of the rendition of two of his favorite compositions. Wa wish again to thank the public, not only for their presence, but also for $110 in cash. J. H. STEVENS, Mgrs. L. H. BRYANT. Card cf Thanks.

Courtesy wins friends in every line of business. Little acts that show consideration for those with whom you gome in daily contact are moet important; hence, the one who is courteous at all times is the most succéesful. Cour- tesy is an every-day application of the Golden Rule. Lord Chester- field gave an example of it when he said, “whatever pleases you most in others will infaliibly please others in you. Therefore, honor your position, whatever it may be, by doing your best.

Chureb, founder of, the Lincolt league and accepted leader of the political forces of the race in the south, Roscoe Conkling Simmon: delivered, in the church: auditor. jium Friday night, the most power |fal address ever heard here. He got. bigger ovation than any ors. tor, Theodore Roosevelt and Book. er T. Washington. included, ever received. | Col, Simmons’ coming had long been heralded, and (thé people were out to seo and “hear. bim They koew that he alone could speak their desiree, For two houre he kept the thousands cheering. | As.the close personal friend o! | Leader Churob, he always comes at great morhents to hold up Mr. Church's hands and represent the race before the judgment seats. No |one has ever matched Simmons on the platform as champion of the country and the Negro, “You may burn me,” he said, “but you cannot burn away my record of undying loyalty. | “You may shake the rope in my face, but no rope is strong enough to tie me down or hang me to a tree of death. Long ago I took God’s promise made to my fathers and broke the shackles of despair. “We go forth,” he thundered, “to make the world a democracy . After that job is well done we will make the United States safe for the Negro.” The great orator took up:lynch - ing, and eaid that the south hed just as well know now as to find out later that the members of the race would leave here unjees lynch. ing was stopped by somebody. “Nor would I ask you to stay,” he eaid, “unless you are protected ‘by thé law. One state is as good as another, and the only “best? ‘state is the state of law and order.” Speaking of the race and the war, he said that although politi- ‘tians may conspire to keep the race out of the army, they’d be glad enongh to have him before the war is ended. “Roosevelt,” he declared amid cheere, “wanted the Negro to go to France with him so that he would have burglar proof protection ; the Demoerats objected. But the Dem- ocrats can’s object when the Negro and the Republican party start Roosevelt for the White Heuse three years from now.” Col. Simmons made a trong ples for loyalty, saying: “Don’t get mad and drop that flag. That is just what your ene- mies want you to do,” He reiterated his platform laid down in bie Little Rock speech— that bas become the platform o! the race in the South. He em: bellished it: “I add to what 1 have ssid,” and be spoke deliber ately, “‘that we will stay if free speech ad free type are guaran. teed to WY” The antlience-shought his trib ute to “OM Glory” was the cli max, but his description of Lin coln’s tomb was really the cap stone. He brought the throng t ite feet. One old woman, scarred with th whips of slavery, after the meeting | tbrew ber arms around his neck, “Don’t stop,” she said, and don’ fear. God raised you up.” With Robert Church at the head of what is really « powerful organ ization, and Roscoe Simmons ot the platform speaking to all th people every day, the Race in th (ath, Sete thet th at ak State Emptoyment Bureau is An Unquatified Success- E. J. Sulliven of the joint state city employment bureau of Los Angeles, in an interview! witb The Eagle on labor conditions, said: “I recall that a little over a year ago, when ‘the state started the public employment bureaus, a great many people predicted failure for them ; but now it would not be possible to find an employer who is not in hearty sympathy with them, “Their usefulness is now 'com- ceded and ‘they are as much a part of our system as are our public schools, I believe I was one of the first—if not the first— who was appointed by Commis. sioner of Labor John F. McLaugh- lin, and indeed it was not an easy matter to educate the public to ‘the necessity of supporting public employment bureaus, There was no precedent to follow, It meant hard and persistent wo k, and a great deal of the success we have met with is in a large measure due to the splendid suppurt we have received from the newspapers. The greatest reward that comes to any man in a public position is the feéling that his efforts have borne fruit, and that he has in some manner been instrumental in rea— dering the state and the public some service of a useful and con- structive character, “In the grave crisis which now confronts this nation, the public employment bureaus can ard will render invaluable service, and they are proving a wonderful factor in the proper distribution of labor. It may surprise some people to know that the Los Angeles office fur- niehed 10,481 positions in March and April. This record surpasses that of any office in the United’ States. The intelligent handling and selection of such a large aaa ber of men and women is no easy matter ; but our well trained, oa organized and efficient force proved equal to the emergency. By our: splendid system we now bave our band on the pulse of the Jabor sit- uation in this state, and we can— at a moment’s notice—furnish in- formation to employers which could in no other manner be obtained unless through ‘such an agency, Employers bave been quick to rec- ognize the servicer we are offering them, and the eupport they are giving to the bureau is evidenced by the figures presented. “Governor Stephens and the state council of detense are alive to the great service our bureaus are rendering in thie crisis, and we hope to aceomplieh’ still , greater results.” Mr. Sullivan is a warm friend of tne eolored ‘race, “and is always ready to help them. | Readers Attention !

Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have been eold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investors will have the same chance, after we bave brought in one or two wells, to sell their land for just as much or more. { We have only one thousand ebaresin al], (each share consiets of eight lots. being one-fourth of an acre,) therefore the profit for each share will be jarge.
