C.M.E. Conference in Annual Session ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 The annual conference of the C. M. E. Church convened at Phillips Chapel on Newton street. Wednesday morning, with Bishop C. H. Phillips, A.M., D.D., presiding! Pastors and delegates are in attendance from Arizona and New Mexico as well as California. Following is a partial list of pastors present: Rev. Z. Z. Johnson, presiding elder of the Arizona District; Rev. A. J. Norris of Phoenix; Rev. A. C. Caldwell of Douglas; Rev. Chos. Hughes of Carlsbad, N. M.; Rev. Wm. Selden, presiding elder of the Los Angeles district; Rev. W. B. Butler of Santa Monica; Rev. J. R. Rector of Berkeley; Rev. T. C. Cook of El Centro. A number of ladies of the missionary society are also in attendance. Everything possible is being done by Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Anderson and the good people of the church for the comfort and pleasure of the Bishop and the visiting pastor and delegates. The conference convenes each morning at nine o'clock and adjourns it two. The public is cordially invited to attend all the sessions of the opening pastor as well attended. Rev. J. R. Rector of Berkeley preached a strong sermon, after which the Bishop, assisted by the elders, administered communion. Today, Friday, the Woman's Home Missionary Society will meet at 2 o'clock with Mrs M. R. Harris preiding. It is largely due to the unrising efforts of the women of the church that such signal successes have been possible. All who attend his meeting will be greatly benefited. On Friday evening an excellent missionary program will be given. Saturday will close the business session. Bishop Phillips will preach on Sunday morning at eleven o'clock, and the appointments will be read on Sunday night. The city is hoping for the return of Rev. J. C. Anderson. During his pastorate here he and his family have endeared themselves to the people and have accomplished much good in the church and community. Sunday night a banquet will be tendered the Bishop and visitors. This will probably be the last opportunity to see Bishop Phillips as he is planning to spend only a short time in California this year. A very pleasant social time is anticipated for Monday evening.

Miss-LeNoir is well known in this city as one of our most efficient nurses and has served the leading physicians and surgeons in that capacity. Mr. Bruce is formerly of Denver, where he is well known in business and social circles, is known in that city as an expert soda dispenser.

The happy couple will be at home to their friends after October 1st at 24 Walton Ave., Watts, Cal. The California Eagle BISHOP L. W. KYLE OF THE A. M. E. ZION CHURCH RECEIVES FLATTERING WELCOME There is no doubt but that Bishop L. W. Kyle, A.M., D.D., who received such a hearty welcome at the hands of the citizens at Pico and Paloma church on last Friday evening and at his service. Sunday, at 3 p.m., will no doubt feel that after all his efforts to do something worth while in this section are not in vain, and that they are appreciated to the utmost. Friday evening Rev. B. C. Robinson had arranged a splendid program, which was in charge of W. L. Gordon as master of ceremonies. Dr. H. D. Prowd delivered welcome address on behalf of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance, Rev. E. R. Johnson on behalf of the Methodist Ministers' Alliance, Mrs. J. A. Slaughter on behalf of the Women's Clubs, J. B. Bass on behalf of the Press, Capt. F. H. Crumbly on behalf of the business men and Dr. A. G. Garrott on behalf of the professional men. These addresses were interspersed with both vocal and instrumental selections by talented singers who did great credit to the occasion, after which the good Bishop responded and no one who heard him could doubt his appreciation of his royal welcome. At the conclusion of these exercises a sumptuous banquet was served in the dining hall. EDDIE RUCKER HEADLINE ENTERTAINER AT CADILLAC CAFE Enjoys Visit From His Aged Parents—Gives Them a Royal Mr. Edward Rucker, king pin of entertainers, and who holds forth nightly at the far famed Cadillac Cafe, and who entertains and amuses thousands, has been the recipient for the past two weeks of joy unbounded, when his aged mother and father journeyed from Brookfield, Mo., to pay their only son a visit, this information therefore will explain Eddie's absence from his post of duty abolished. He has always been entertaining his aged parents, they were overjoyed to see their son again and he has done his utmost to make their stay a most pleasant and enjoyable one. J. B. EDWARD RUCKER With his car he has taken them to all the points of interest in and around the city and they declare that this visit is the climax to all others and a revelation to them, as it is the first time they have taken such a pretentious journey, having always basked on the hearth of their native home in Brookfield. Wallace Rucker and Mrs. Emma Rucker are known in that village for their sterling worth as among Brookfield's best citizens. He has worked as an employee of the C. B. and Q. R. R. at that place for 32 years. His son, Edward, left home at an early age and journeyed westward to grow up with the country, he soon found he had talent and proceeded to develop the same and as an entertainer, he stands in the front rank. His service is always in demand and he is thrifty and energetic and ambitious, and while he strives to the utmost to please the people, he also is striving to look toward the very best things for the continued progress and elevation and is admirably succeeding along that line. He idolizes his parents and they appreciate him as only parents can to their only son, and both the son and parents will long remember their September meeting in the Angel City. Mr. and Mrs. Rucker left on last Thursday for their home in Brookfield, Mo. THE FIGHTING PARSON "ON THE WING" IN THE LAND OF DIXIE Marvelous Progress of the Brother in Black in Evidence Everywhere By Rev. J. Gordon McPherson Special to the Eagle (Delayed from last week's issue) Orange, Texas, Aug. 28, 1917 Several weeks ago with grip in hand we mounted the Sunset Limited of the Belfair Bristol stationed on our itinerary for the land of Dixie, at the Arcade depot in the Angel City. After a night and day ride we landed at Deming, New Mex- San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SEPTEMBER 15, 1917 THE MUSICIAN REV. J. GORDON McPHERSON A. Winner At Atlanta Elected by the National Baptist Convention whose session just at Atlanta, Georgia as General Evangelist of that Denomination. There were in attendance at this meeting more than 5000 delegates. From all sections of this country, and the far famed fighting Parson marches on in his efforts to do the things worth while. ico, and soon made our way to Camp Cody, where the headquarters of the famous 24th U. S. infantry and Second Battalion is station. On our arrival there we saw thousands of civilians busily making ready this monster training camp for reception of 30,000 soldiers that are to be trained for foreign service. At the headquarters we were taken charge of by the Rev Thomas E. Davis, of the regimental medical department, who in the absence of our old friend, Chaplain W. W. E. Gladden, who is absent on sick leave, is the acting chaplain, and spiritual advisor of the men. Comrade Davis is a Zion Methodist and is a solleidh example of a Christian soldier and gentleman. He has the confidence and respect of his superior officers and his comrades in arms. We were taken to the headquarters where Colonel Winn, now Brig General was in command and was most cordially received and was extended the courtesies of the camp. Our visit was made indeed a pleasant one by Comrade-Davis and his assistant. At the noon hour we took lunch with Company "G." our old command in which we stormed San Juan Hill in 98, of the old guard of this crack company of those stirring times there were only four of the old boys left. That evening the entire camp was astir, soldiers, Mexicans and civilian employees wending their way to the new Y. M. C. A. buildings where we were scheduled to speak after an inspiring sing service in which the men entered with vim, we were flatteringly introduced by acting Chaplain Davis and gave an inspiring talk that stirred the patriotism of our noble black boys. At the close of our talk the officers and men thanked us heartily for the inspiration and cheer we gave the soldier boys. The General Secretary, a 'Mr. Dennison, was so greatly impressed that he urged our return to give the boys another talk. In Deming we found a dee phatred on the part of white citizens against the Negro troopers, and an outbreak was only prevented by our visit and Acting Chaplain Davis, who made a personal appeal to General Secretary John B. McCormick, a member of Commerce, to have the black defenders accorded better treatment at the hands of the local citizens. But for this timely action the country would have been startled by an outbreak in resentment of the insults repeatedly cast upon the black troopers. Much praise is due Acting Chaplain Davis. From Camp Cody we made our way to El Paso, where we were greeted by our fellow townman and coworker in the Master's Vineyard, the genial Rev. Dr. James A. Stout, who is pastoring in this bustling city of the great Lone Star state. He was accompanied by Prof. Wm. Coleman, principal of the city schools, Mr. S. M. Collins, a mail clerk in the city post office, general secretary for the Second Baptist church, which is ending segregation in this section. We were escorted to a waiting automobile, and rushed through the principal business section and thence to our stopping place at the cozy home of Deacon and Mrs. John Slater, 811 Hill street, where we spent a very pleasant week. On Sunday morning the historic The following telegram was received Thursday: Aiken, S. C., Sept. 13, 1917. Editor California Eagle. 814 Central Ave. Los Angeles, California. Elected General Evangelist of National Baptist Convention. It was the greatest convention in its history, next session at Little Rock, Ark. Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson. Topka, Kansas, was formerly pastor, an immense crowd packed this historic edifice at the morning hours' worship, in fact it was said to be one of the largest audiences ever assembled in this old church. God wonderfully used the man and his message. The people were thrilled by power divine. We were introduced by Prof. Wm. Coleman, in choice words in which he commended us as one of God's messengers. We spent five days, God honored the Word and eight precious souls were added to this Zion. On Thursday night we gave our own audiences before an immense mixed audience. They were thrilled by the graphic portrayal of the daring charge of the famous black troops at San Juan Hill 91. Many white citizen grasped our hand and said that it was one of the greatest war lectures ever given on the American platform. On Friday evening we again greeted a large mixed congregation at Phillips Chapel C. M. E. church, of which Dr. James A. Stout is pastor. It is said that we again lifted high the old gospel banner, and used our battle axe until both saints shouted victory and hardened sinners trembled under the mighty power of God. At the close of our final message in El Paso we entered the waiting automobile and was rushed to the depot and boarded our Jim Crow car, and was soon speeding on our way to Houston, our next stopping place, while our car was clean and comfortable and after all the Jim Crow car was not a cage of horrors as has been so oiten depicted to our ears, but for the first time we learned the Negro porter was an autoerat. No Russian despot could have shown himself so arrogant as one of these Southern black knights, who seemed to take a special delight in adding insult to injury by chasing and ordering colored passengers from seat to seat, but aside from this our thirty-six hours' ride was without special incident until we reached San Antonio. Here we saw a big excursion of our folks, all shades, colors and sizes, but no more orderly crowd have we seen anywhere. Sunday morning, August 19th, we reached the City of Houston with her teeming thousands of industrious Negroes and was greeted at the Central Union Station and rushed to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Wm. Johnson, of the St. John Baptist church on Broadway, where a sumptuous breakfast awaited us. Dr. Johnson is an old Louisianian, a large crowd greeted us at the morning hours worship, but at the evening services our reputation had spread throughout the city and Houston turned out in mass to hear the man from the Golden West. On Monday afternoon we visited Camp Logan and called upon Col Newman who was making ready to leave for Des Mines, Iowa. He turned us over to Major L. S. Snow, who was to assume command of the fighting 24th U. S. Infantry. As we were to speak of the daring charge of the black troops at San Juan Hill 98 we invited the men of the command to here us. Now just a word in reference to the recent outbreak of this once famous regiment. These Negro soldiers had stood insults that were almost unbearable because of the hatred of the average red neck Southern, who thinks the black man or woman must cringe and bow to him because he he was accidently born with a pale face. Let it be said, that the better class of white citizens are friendly to the Negro and are ever ready to assist and to encourage the industrious Negro man or woman, who is striving for self betterment. In Houston one can see thrity Negroes fill every position of trust, 5 churches, stores, printing offices, three Negro papers. Space does not permit us to tell of the evidence of Progress we noted along all lines. The outbreak was sudden and came like a thunder bolt from the clear sky and for once it sent the red neck into the tall timbers. It is a lesson that when the Negro will defend himself, mobs will cease and his rights will be respected, as the white man is not so willing to face the issue when it comes to looking down to barrel of a trusty rifle backed by a determined Black man. Thursday morning we left for Orange, where we have been addressing immense throngs at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of which Dr. Ira M. Hendon is minister. This is another city of progress. Some Negroes own whole blocks of houses, autos and many business enterprises, one of the finest pressed brick, two story school building, the finest in East Texas. With a few more Houston outbreaks, the South will become the Black Man's Eldorado, for it is the natural home of the Negro. We are now en route to New Orleans, where we shall write our observations. The trip has been an eye opener and tells a wonderful story of the brother in Blacks' Thrift and progress in the land of Dixie. ABOUT OURSELVES — NOTED DIVINE SPEAKS RIGHT OUT THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE! Our year's work in this community has come to an end. We have fought labored and toiled to create wholesome conditions, stimulate thought and heighten ideals. Next week we shall render a report to the Powers that be as we answer the query "What have you done?" We would betray our trust should we drop our pen without a word of tribute to the California Eagle, the greatest Negro Weekly on the Pacific Coast. True to her name, she has soared high above the clouds and breathed an atmosphere of devotion, service and progress. Always a welcome visitors because her pages are shining resplendently with the rays of truth. The outstanding feature of this great paper is its unswerving devotion to principle and loyalty to high ideals. The storms have blown, the lightnings have flashed, and the thunders roared, but the Eagle has simply flapped its wings of determination and carried us where the light streamed radiant and pure. This great Weekly, this great Champion of human rights has been made possible because of the untiring energy and unselfish devotion of its editors. Mr. J. B. Bass and his esteemed wife and co-laborer, Mrs. C. A. Spear-Bass. Possessing grand and lovely characters, they have thrown their virtues into this medium of their heart, to the betterment of mankind and the forward march of civilization. Southern California is blessed to have such an influential organ in its midst. The people of Los Angeles are proud of their enviable possession. In the days to come, when the sword shall have been sheathed and the world shall recognize the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man," when autocracy shall bend the knee to the telling brows of Democracy, when all races under the Sun shall have their faces baked in the pure, exhilarating spirit of Justice, yea, when worlds shall crash moons melt and sunns shall darken; when all people shall gather in the great Auditorium beyond, the sons of man as they march with steady tramp, banners unfurled, and singing a paean of victory, will praise the California Eagle for the inspiration it has given, the problems it has solved, and the achievements it has gained. Long may the California Eagle con- Long may the California Eagle continue to soar. REV. B. C. ROBESON, Pastor A. M. E. Zion Church. NUMBER 31 REV. CRAW RECEIVES OVATION WHEN TELEGRAM FROM BISHOP PARKS WAS RECEIVED CONFIRMING HIS APPOINTMENT TO THE 8TH AND TOWNE ST. CHURCH It was a notable victory attained for the people when on last Sunday a telegram from Bishop Parks conveyed the intelligence that despite the effort which had been made to change the appointment at this church and in response to the will of the people, Rev. Craw would remain at this place. When this announcement was read from the pulpit pammonium reigned, men and women jumped up and down and embraced each other in joy, for truly their prayers had been answered and justice had prevailed. It was not a personal victory which had obtained, but a just victory for the great masses of THE MASTER REV. J. LOGAN CRAW Pastor 1st A. M. E. Church the people of this great church; and it spells the doom of a selfish few ever in the future dominating the will of the people, and we sincerely congratulate the Bishop, the church and all concerned as to the happy determination of what promised to be of vast detriment to this great church and the people of this city regardless of denomination, are no less pleased than the members of this church themselves and even the few who would have in an unguarded moment wrought a great injury to the progress of the church, now think right-ness and justice has prevailed, so they can all sing again the song, "The Church Is Moving On." "When word was conveyed to the people through the Eagle and later by Dr. Craw himself, that this appointment here was only temporary and that the Bishop bade him to stay here until he heard from him, the people began to get busy and scores of letters and telegrams protesting against Dr. Craw's removal were sent to the Bishop and one monster petition with upwards of 400-names, and after receiving these the Bishop bowed in humble acquiescence to the will of the people and wired that Dr. Craw would stay. The people, therefore, won a notable victory. HOME COMING OF OUR MANAGING EDITOR WILL BE THE OCCASSION OF MONSTER RECEPTION BY CITIZENS OF LOS ANGELES. On next Wednesday evening, at the 1st A. M. E. Church, the people of this city will show their appreciation to the good deeds and worth of our esteemed fellow citizen, Mrs. C. A. Spear-Bass, and on the occasion of her home coming will tender to her a hearty welcome. It is desirous that all citizens who are in sympathy with this effort will meet at the Y. M. C. A. building on East 9th St. Saturday for the purpose of arranging a program and details. Every citizen is invited to come out and become a member of this committee. The idea is to give Mrs. Bass a real democratic welcome and show our appreciation at home to one who has made good. PROGRESSIVE CITIZEN The Eagle was favored this week with a visit from our energetic and progressive townsman, Mr. W. E. Hall, who is a lieutenant in the city fire department, and who is on his annual vacation of two weeks. He is not spending his time without profit as indicated by the fact that he is beautifying his home on Long Beach Ave., where he lives, assisted by R. Mays, his father-in-law, he put down cement walks in front of his home and made other useful improvements. Mr. Hall is one of our best citizens and has made an enviable record in the department. His wife is prominent in fraternal circles and only recently represented one of the Households in their annual session at Bakersfield as a delegate. What the Churches are Doing --- Ward Chapel A. M.

There are to day in these United States of America twelve million of people who, according to the Articles of the Constitution governing this Country, are citizens hereof with the right to a full enjoyment of all of the privileges to be derived from that citizenship. Yet seventy per cent of these twelve million of people are but nominally citizens was granted them before these citizenship bestowing articles were so solemnly ratified. What then is the position of these people who having been granted certain right find themselves without the power to have those rights enforced and without the influence to have those who have so lawlessly in rights, excused from the duties that devolve upon those who are citizens Are they, since they are denied the Government thru the agency of the Supreme Court of that government whose sworn duty it is to uphold the the very letter of the Constitution the several States abridged these rights held to account by the Federal in more than name? Are they exempt from taxation because they have been denied a full measure of citizenship nevertheless, are accorded ful justice in the courts and equal consideration in the enjoyment of those pleasures which are the just fruits of their labor? If they are, what great hardships then has been worked upon them by this abridgement of their constitutionally granted rights? I say, without equivocation, without fear of refutation that they are not. Mr. Roosevelt has said that the United States flagrantly disregarded the international obligation she owed to Belgium, which arose because of the adoption by this country of the Hague Convention of 1909, in which she swore to keep inviolate the territory of neutral nations. This grave treaty which Germany had also adopted, Germany ruthlessly in August 1914, violated. When Germany thus broke her primose, we broke our promise by failing at once to sell her to account; further, Mr. Roosevelt contends that this treaty was a joint and several guarantee and it was the duty of every signer to take action when it was violated above all, he maintains, it was the duty of the most powerful neutral, the United States. Probally we will all agree with Mr. Roosevelt in this contention but whether we do or not makes little difference to day, for America has at last taken definite action in this international controversy. However, if this flagrant act of bad faith toward Belgium has caused the righteots indignation of Mr. Roosevelt and millions of other true Americans to brust forth in condemnation of this administration how much greater should be their condemnation of the policy of this administration and of other administrations in the past when they stop to consider that the solemn and binding obligation to the black man that this country had sworn to keep inviolate by the ratification and adoption of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments has from its very inception been outrageously ignored as of no consequence. This was no joint and several guarantee of an international nature, the breach of which Mr. Roosevelt so rigorously condemned, but an absolute guarantee to a distinct group of people. An assumption of protection and guardianship and a granting of all of the privileges, rights and consideration that are part and parcel of American citizenship. To wink at the open desCRIPTION of this most sacred covenant that makes us a nation has been the policy not only of this present Democratic administration, but of many of the Republican administrations of the past and will be the policy of future administrations, Democratic or Republican as they may be, unless the American Negro does his duty toward himself and his posterity. The duty he has thus far so ignobly shirked. Mr. Roosevelt, I challenge you or any other champion of the cause of Belgium to say that America's dereliction of her sacred international duty has been a great offense in the eyes of God and man than the unqualified desertion of these millions of hapless black men and women whom Abraham Lincoln so nobly liberated. Mr. Roosevelt, I challenge you to say that by their recurrent silence the better class of right thinking Americans have not sondoned the hideous atrocities of the lawless mob and the constitution defying States and allowed them to recognize that no punishment awaits those who trample upon the rights of unfortunate Negroes. Loud have been the voices raised in fervent plea for Belgium, loud, too, has been your voice, Mr. Roosevelt, in condemnation of riotous East St. Louis, yet, East St. Louis, was but one of a monotonous succession of outrages that have drawn forth no fervent plea for a square deal to the Negro. Low and mournful has been the lamentation of these stricken black people, their very failure to resent the cheeses attacks by more than feeble protests an encouragement to the heartless mob whose rampages occur with greater frequency and greater violence as they realize that the Federal Government will not molest them or distrub them in the pursuit of what has become for them a form of sport and the Negro dare not. Would England, I ask you, have been any more willing to grant Ireland Home Rule if Ireland had been any the less willing to fight, for it? I will answer "No" for you. Will America the more readily grant us the right which by the sacred Constitution are ours, if we by soft voiced and cringing appeal show that we are not willing to fight for what is ours? This is a holy duty that we owe to ourselves and our posterity; that we fight for what was given us. The man who will make no attempt to protect himself can expect no sympathy or protection from his neighbor. We are no sparate people who strive for home rule, but an American people striving fruitlessly for an equal rule at home. If our endeavor in the past to obtain emancipation and protection has been of no avail it is because it has not been vigorously enough. Belgium gained the undying admiration and respect of the civilized world, because she resisted to the death the vicious attempt of a nation many times larger and of infinitely greater strength than hers to violate her rights. The black man would have gained the wholesome respect of the lawless American if he had resented to the death any attempt to curtail the rights granted him by the Federal Constitution. Does the American Negro so findly cherish life that he would live as a cur to be kicked and cuffed at the mere whim of the white of the white man? If life without honor and respect life at all or merely a living death? I leave these questions for you to answer. From a standpoint of self-preservation which is the first law of nature, the American Negro is justified in arming himself to defend his home and family, to secure for himself the protection denied him by the government of this country, and to create in the minds of those craven people who would ruthlessly murder men women and children because they believe those whom they attack will not defend themselves in a united manner and are unable to obtain the protection of the Government, a religious respect for the fighting qualities of the Negro when used in his own just battle.

St. Louis, and Chester Outrages—Local Equal Rights Committees Being formed. Special.) Boston, Mass., Aug. 23, 1917—That the Colored people of the country have been "brought to their feet" by the Memphis lynching, East St. Louis massacre and Chester riots, is shown by the instant interest taken in the call issued for a "Speedy Getting Together" at New York by Rev. Byron Gunner, President, of the National Equal Rights League. Already President Gunner has received word from representatives in a dozen different states who will attend the 10th annual meeting of the League and 2nd Annual Race Congress. under the League's auspices, which will be held 3 days, September 18, 19 and 20, in Mother Zion church, W. 136th street, New York City. Colored newspapers all over the country are announcing this National Colored Equal Rights Convention in their columns, and the editors are working with success for the formation of local "Equal Rights Committees" that are to send delegates. The "Call" has been given such wide publicity, the invitation being open to every organization as well as the Equal Rights League, the oppressed in every country in the civilized world have met as a group and put forth their case and their demand, except we Colored Americans, thoughtful citizens everywhere see that the race-will be judged by the attendance at this National Race Congress. Every community that has not already formed a Citizens' Equal Rights Committee to send delegates is urged to do so. Three full weeks remain in which to do so. The last Race Congress brought men and women of all factions and all organizations together and increased co-operation. It is ten times as critical now for the race as then. Pres. Byron Gunner, of Hillburn, N. Y., and Cor. Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter of 34 Cornhill, Boston, are receiving many letters in the convention and will answer all inquiries. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` WILLIAMS' Excelsior Hair Grower New Discovery Mrs. Fannie Williams, well-known hair and scalp specialist after a careful study is now prepared to supply her many friends and customers with this wonderful preparation which she guarantees to remove all dandruff, cure all scalp diseases, to grow and beautify the hair; also prevents hair from falling out.

But the Negro must perform his duty and that is to defend the honor of his race and to make secure his constitution granted rights. I feel justified in saying that I am willing to die in France to uphold the honor of this my country in this war for liberty and justice, but far sooner would I rather die here in America to uphold the honor of my people in their fight for equal rights and justice. It seems literally incredible that any people not made of mud and water could submit for so long a time to the indignities that have been heaped upon them by their fellow countrymen without resorting to arms in an attempt to change these conditions. The events of the past few years have shown that we need expect no consideration at the hands of the present administration and I thank God that the events of the past year have also shown that unlike this present administration we, as a people, are not too proud to fight. Yet, unfavorable to us as the present administration has been, it was left to the present head of this government to voice a sentiment that fully expressed the wishes and desires of twelve million of black people. Then making his famous speech, the president said we are goint to make the world SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY, he expressed for us what we have been waiting so long to hear a black man acclaim. Fighting to make the world SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY, but we want, oh, such a different kind of democracy than that Mr. Wilson champions. We do not want the kind of democracy that inspires one to deeds like that which transpired in East St. Louis, in Memphis and in Waco, but rather the kind of Democracy that gives to the Black man the same political rights, the same economical rights, the same legal rights, the same social rights granted the white man and the same right to work out his destiny along the lines God gives him to feel the best for him. That is the only true Democracy. That is the Democracy that the immortal Lincoln stood for. Continued on page 4 THE Hotel Gordon J. W. GORDON, Prop. Strictly First-class.

And now the question arises are the Russian people capable of self government? In the selective draft it is said that the colored units will be the last ones called and then we think of the old adage, "The first shall be last and the last shall be first." We thought the news that each cantonment was to have a colored regiment was too good to, be true, especially so when taking into account the present administration. Hon. Wm. Trotter, the militant leader, is now advancing on Washington with his brave band of warriors fighting as ever for a man's chance in this, our very own country. We are with him in all his effort, to bring about a very better condition of this people in this country. While we read here of the conditions of the Central powers the unrest and other conditions, no doubt over there they are reading the same things about us, so after all, it seems to be a question as to who can survive and we of course are for our own country as against the world. EAST ST. LOUIS Let no one fear that in the economic development of the American Negro East St. Louis is not a bubble. Its significance is simply the shame of American democracy and the utter impotence of its justice. Nevertheless, despite this program, engineered by Gompers and his Trade Unions, the demand for Negro labor continues and will continue. Negro labor continues to come North and ought to come North. It will work work at higher wages than the slave South ever paid and ever will pay, and, despite the Trade Unions and the murderers whom they cover and defend, economic freedom for the American Negro is written in the stars. East St. Louis, Chester and Youngstown are simply the pools of blood through which we must march, but march we will—The Crisis. IS THE COUNCIL MESMERIZED Just where the City Council can conceive that the one man who has been asking for a Jim Crow fire department is in any way a representative of the colored race in this city is an enigma to us. This race, if they should send a representative to your honorable body, would send a man who is thoroughly in touch with the conditions and needs of this people, a man who is on the firing line at all times for both their moral and industrial uplift and who could both intelligently and creditably present our cause. In this crucial period through which this country is passing the great minds of this country are uniting their efforts to do the things which will eliminate strife and contention and they are united against Jim Crowing a people in our government; it therefore does not become any man, black or white, to ask for this very thing we are fighting. We are asking no special favors, if we have eligibles on the list there is no need for any fireworks. Do the right thing. Certify them, put the to work, that is all we ask. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PROPOSITION The Hon. Geo H. Woodson, while here last winter at a great gathing cautioned the people against irresponsible and barefoot leadership, the same is very apparent in the situation which obtains in the city at the present time relating to the colored men who are on the eligible list for firemen. As a matter of fact, so far as we have heard, there has been no representation made to the council by any representative colored citizen whatever, there is no intelligent citizen who would be so brazen as to go before that body asking to be Jim Crowed. We have truly the spectacle of the irresponsible, barefoot, self-appointed leader who by the assumption of a colossal nerve essayed to speak for the colored people, but this people, when made acquainted with the situation will hurt it back into their teeth, because they are asking no special legislation and more especially so as to places in public service. All they ask is that they be given a fair and square deal. They are American citizens and if by competitive examination they have merited a place on the civil service lists, that they be certified just the same as any other citizen. They are not clamoring for any Jim Crow department by any means and the city councilmen have certainly got the wrong sow by the ear when they rush so frantically to the cry the irresponsible, self-appointed officer for the race and estate lish any special fire house for them. At the very best this move would not dispose of the 51 eligibles. What of the rest of them? They have qualified, too, and there are vacancies yawning for eligibles enough, we are told, to absorb the entire list. It is to be hoped that this council and fire commission will give these men a square deal in all fairness and justice. There is nothing else to do. For many years in this city the colored and white firemen served in the same companies. What's the trouble now? Why such a hurry to give a house to these men on representations made by forces mentioned. The matter is certainly one which will stand investigation and then, if made impartially, the recommendation would be to certify and appoint the men who have qualified "Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may." 4 FOR REN FOR RENT 12 of the most beautiful flats in the city of Los Angeles.

R. 1920 International Secretary of Building Laborers' Union, left for their profession at Kansas City, Mo., on last Wednesday. THREE—EAGLE 9-14-17 That is the kind of Democracy Jesus Christ preached, That is all we want, all we desire. When I read Mr. Wilson's proclamation to the world that America was coming forth to champion the cause of Democracy. I said to myself this is a war of white man's making, but since he has invoked the aid of the black man to help him fight now is the time for the millions of black men to take up arms, crowd into the armies and navies of the world dand make this war a real fight for Democracy; so that when the conflict is over, this much vaunted Democracy of the white man will be ours for we will have gone to our graves like men. We are not a militant people. Our desires are few, nor are they hard to express, but before God, I believe them worthy dying for. We want freedom. Not the kind of freedom the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments have given us, but the kind of reedom it was intended they should give us. So, tonight, I say the black man must go into this fight to stay until the world is made SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY. The time has come for the black man to do his duty to his race to stand up like a man for what is his and to die if that be necessary in this cause which is truly his own. Those who are too cowardly to do their duty have not the right to expect others to do it for them nor have they the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. WILLIAM L. PATTERSON, (1917). A NEW WAR·PROBLEM (The following unsigned and timely comment has lately come into our hands, and we think deserves all the space it occupies.—H. B. Hartzler, Editor of the Evangelical.) What student of psychology will tell us what is the charm in the uniform which makes the girl who is all dignity in her relations with the civilian, so ready to make street acquaintance with some man when he shall have donned the uniform. As in the --- material world chemical elements in themselves seemingly innocent, when united make a poisonous compound, so in the human. A passing smile between these two—our soldier boy and our high school girl—a morning greeting—a moment's conversation—a stroll together down a town block—a lingering chat in the town park as the shadows fall—a more than ordinarily long handclasp—a frolic at the camp with others—a lone walk in a woody lane—a secret tryst, another and still another—then the company moves on and a sad young girl broods in silence till the passing days-force upon her the certainty of the fatal truth, and soon another unmarried mother of a "war baby" is added to the pitiful group left in the locality of every military camp; while a young soldier "somewhere in France," now and then regrets—but not too sadly; for, to the average man the girl who is easy to make acquaintance is worthy to bear the results. Hear is our home problem. It is inevitable. It is already with us and the result will continue to follow as surely as the night follows the day until parents, teachers, and public spirited people everywhere waken from their culpable apathy, and unite in an aggressive effort for the enlightment and protection of both boys and girls. A camp of soldiers watching bridges and tunnels along a transcontinental line or a vital industry that is menaced—soldiers who are young, fine looking, virile boys no better, no worse, than the average brave, happy-go-lucky, thoughtless American Jad, educated in the non-essentials, ignorant as a baby in essentials—all in natty uniforms that follow every curve of the superb forms; a nearby town with numbers of adolescent girls, winsome and attractive, no better, no worse than the average American girl; educated as girls of her age are in non-essentials, ignorant and irresponsible as butterfly in essentials—mothers but a trifle more intelligent in the matter of the most vital problems their sons and daughters must face—the whole village alive with that emotional enthusiasm which constitutes the first stirring of what will be real patriotic zeal when Secretary Hart Bros.

We learn that two of Pasadena's "best blood" were in our city this week, but they were so swift that we did not get close enough to speak to them. What has become of the Citizen's League? Is the chairman a tenderfoot, a slacker, or a quitter? Why don't they have a meeting some time—some where? Mrs. B. Jackson was the lucky one at the cake cutting Thursday night.

A great time was experienced in the church work of this city during the past two weeks. This place is a stronghold for Satan and his force. Our pastor, Rev. C. N. Moore, held a ten days' meeting and the arch-enemy was defeated. Our pastor came in with his U-boat and turned the Gospel gun on the great submarine of Satan, taking twelve persens as Gospel prisoners and giving them Gospel freedom. Our Chuch was lingering—about dead—when Rev. Moore was called to take charge of the work. But Rev. Moore and his wife have succeeded in making the First Baptist Church a Gospel live wire in the Valley. They are a godsend to the Valley and have done a great work here. We never want the time to come for them to leave us. Mrs. Moore has imbued the young people with a deep interest in the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. and the church is crowded at each service. The third Sunday of this month will be a great day in Imperial—a big baptizing rally and a basket dinner at the church. People are returning from the summer resorts and preparing for the fall harvest. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society, led by Mrs. Moore, held cottage meetings during the revival. Much good was done. Mr. and Mrs. Lindley are the proud parents of a fine little girl Mrs. Linley is the superintendent of our Sunday school. The "grim reaper"—following the death of our dear sister Yarbough, wife of Deacon Yarbough, returned and claimed the infant. We extend to our brother our sympathy. Mrs. Mary Hopkins and Mrs. Jackson nave returned from San Diego. Mr. Hopkins, who has been quite sick, is recovering. SHERIDAN'S PARENTS One of the sweetest and most pathetic war stories is about the Sheridans, father and mother of Gen. Phil Sheridan. The old people were living at Somerset, Ohio when word came that Gen. Sheridan had suffered a great defeat in the Shenandoah valley. They slep none that night, but in the morning the old gentleman said: "Mother, I have thought it all out. Phil wasn't there when the fight began. This is what the pap said. It would not be like our boy to remain away throughout the battle. As I make it out Phil returned in time to save the day, I'll go to the store and wait until the paper comes, get the news and hurry back. I don't believe there's anything to worry about." "I hope you are right, father, but I'm afraid yesterday's news was correct. Phil has had so much good luck I'm afraid he's had bad luck this battle." Old Mr. Sheridan was sitting on the steps of the store when a man rode up and called out, "Good news from Sheridan!" Then one of the bystanders caught up the morning paper and read the account of Sheridan's return to the army of his turning the tide; of the President's message of thanks; of Sheridan's heroic conduct and complete rout of the enemy. The paper said it was one of the greatest victories of the war. That was enough for Mr. Sheridan. He started on a trot to tell Mrs. Sheridan the news about their son's greatest battle. She saw him coming, and hurried to the gate to get the tiding from Cedar Creek. "Glory to God, mother, glory to God! Phil whipped em! The president has sent him the country's thanks, and the paper says it was one of the greatest fights of the war. I knew Phil would get back in time to save the day." After they had gone into the house the old lady suddenly became sober. "What's the matter, mother?" "Father, did the paper say anything had happened to John?" John was hother son, a private in Sheridan's army in the valley. But here was a mother's heart, joyous over the great fame that had come to one son, yet in the midst of it all, remebering the other son, who was not a successful general but only a faithful private in the ranks.

Darden, our big Negro Lawyer, received notice on Sept. 11. thin blooded degenerate of a once proud race—an adulterous race—which still boasts naively that every colored woman was susceptible—From the "Scrap Book" by J. D. Reynolds. IS CAUCASIAN COWARDICE CONGENITAL? The chief evidence that the antagonism of race is due to privilege and not to inheritance, is found in the white man's treatment of the negro. Although less than one-third of the lynchings of negroes are due to assaults on white women, the white man continues to urge that particular crime as the sufficient cause for white cowardice and brutality. Not only are many negroes lynched for trivial offenses, or none, but not infrequently are they lynched because they refuse to allow white men to do to their women what the same white livered whites proclaim the negro victims have done to white women. The latest indictment of our despicable Caucasian cowardice comes from Hamilton, Ga., where the murder of Norman Hadley led to the lynching of three negroes and a mulatto girl, three of whom certainly are wholly innocent of the murder. The Associated Press report says: "Hadley was an unmarried planter and it is said he was infatuated with the girl, Bertha Hathaway. He had been pursuing the girl and had been waived to keep away from her. He disregarded the warning, however, and on Sunday afternoon went to the girl's home and tried to get her to come out and meet him. While Hadley was at the girl's home he was shot, but no one can tell by whom. Henry Anderson, one of the negroes lynched, is said to have waned to marry the girl, and it is possible that he shot the young planter. Bertha Hathaway said Hadley was shot by some one in ambush while he was cailing to her to come to meet him. The developments have caused great indignation, and a determined effort will be made to ferret out the members of the mob. Bertha Hathaway was only 20 years old and comely. The negroes are stirred and a number have left the county. As a result, farmers are having trouble gettng. laborers. —From the "Scrap Book" by J. D. Reynolds.

BIG LAW SUIT WON The Apple Orchard Unit Holders Wins Suit in Oregon Involving a $60,000 Transaction Chas. S. Darden, our big Negro Lawyer, received notice on Sept. 11 1947, of the Court's order made by Judge Hamilton of the Circuit Court of Douglas County at Roseburg, Oregon, sustaining his demurrier to the complaint filed by the Stuart-Ferguson Timber Co. vs. Harding Orchard Co. et al, on the ground that plaintiff was without legal capacity to bring the law suit, which resulted in a big winning for Mr. Darden and about one hundred colored people, who will now get title to the one hundred acre apple orchard at Roseburg, Oregon. There were five lawyers appearing in the litigation, but Mr. Darden was the only one to file a demurrier to the plaintiff's complaint, and it was Mr. Darden's demurrier that defeated the action. Mr. Darden recently went to Oregon to argue his demurrier, nearly two days being consumed in the arguments on both sides, due to presentation of much intricate detail law involving fundamental jurisprudence. Mr. Darden has on more than one occasion, shown his ability (which must be admittedly extraordinary) to handle any law suit, without regard to the parties involved or, to property sought. The legal fraternity of this city should pull their hats off to Mr. Darden, and his ability and success in the practice of the law should be by the citizens of this community assumed as a matter of fact.

Voluntary effort can help by raising a fund to run down lynchers and sue the State for indemnity to the families of the victims. Even $1,000 for each negro life would make more impression on the white corpusclied taxpayers than all the unchristian taxpayers have accomplished or promise to accomplish. It is necessary to observe that the inhabitants of the shameless towns where these murders occur, whether in Oklahoma or Illinois, are generally devout blasphemers name of the Prince of Peace. No more help can be hoped for from the churches than was received by those who abolished the iniquity of slavery. There must be Federal intervention in the race conflict. Neither Georgia nor Pennsylvania can be trusted. The white man ought to insist upon a Federal amendment securing a uniform divorce and marriage law. It would be an inestimable advantage to the white population, especially the women; and it would enable the Federal government to abolish the ridiculous prohibitions of the Black Belt and force all lathers of illegitimate colored children into the limelight. Nothing else will arouse the cowardly white woman to a revolt against the pusillanimity of the white ravisher of negresses, the [Editorial from the 20th Century Magazine.] Readers Attention Are you satisfied with working all your life at starvation wages and keeping your nose to the grindstone? Why not seek independence and comfort in life? There are many ways to attain it if you only know how. All you need is an opportunity to get into a legal and honest money-making enterprise on the ground-floor and at the right time and you are in the road to success. This is Your Opportunity--The Chance of Your Life to join us in the Oil Land Development Industry—the greatest money-making industry of today. Small investors have made and are still making fabulous profits from oil and oil lands. In many instances small investors have made from $50 to $500 for every dollar invested. You can have the same opportunity if you will accept our cooperation. This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit-earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person to whose attention this announcement comes. It offers an opportunity for you to invest a large or small sum in a ase, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large oil lots and an interest in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit-sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil as well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have been sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investors will have the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells, to sell their land for just as much or more. We have only one thousand shares in all, (each share consists of eight lots, being one-fourth of an acre), therefore the profit for each share will be large. The following illustration will show the profit each investor will receive out of a certain number of barrels at the present price of oil: Should our first well prove to be a 5,000 barrel producer, then each share of eight lots will receive $150 a month and should the first four wells produce 20,000 barrels, then each share of eight lots will receive $600 a month.
