Capacity Audience Hear Description of Eastern Tour (By W. E. Easton) Wednesday evening at the First A. M. E. Church, Eight and Towne Ave. a very appreciative audience met to tender Mrs. C. Spear Bass, Editress of the California Eagle, a warm welcomes on her return from a visit to her mother in Providence, R. I. The popularity of this able race leader was demonstrated by the applause that greeted her on her appearance on the platform of the pulpit, and the many and sincere encomiums of all the speakers of the occasion. The distinguished guest of the evening had turned what was intended as a pleasure trip to a period of close observation of the conditions of the race in the distant East, had addressed innumerable audiences, interviewed Eastern race leaders and she had returned to the scene of her great activities with a resounding message to her people to "get together" and live the clean life that counts for lasting-good. The eloquent speaker held her audience for an hour and a quarter so deep moved and interested that the time seemed altogether to short. The conditions she found in Houston, Texas, were gripingly dispicted and altogether different than we had read in the newspapers. Throughout her address Mrs. Bass spoke with an intensity of purpose to continue the great race-uplift work that she has devoted her life and energies, not only on the West Coast Country, but throughout the Nation, held her audience spellbound. There was a very nice program. Mr. Milton W. Lewis was the President of the occasion and made a very happy and felicitous speech in introduction of the object and purpose of the home-coming of Mrs. Bass, he also paid a high compliment to the Eagle. In the absence of Dr. H. D. Prowd who had been on the program to give the Invocation, Mr. J. H. Shackleford ably performed this function. Among those who added to the pleasures of the occasion were Miss Clifford Robinson, vocal solo, Miss Idelle Albritton in Recitation Miss Beatrice Young, vocal solo; Mrs. E. Carter Buckner in a original poem that eloquently voiced the mission of woman and which was inscribed to Mrs C. Spear-Bass; a delightful piano solo by that equisit player, Miss Velma Wood who has no superiors and few equals. The combined choir of the Second Baptist Church and the A.M. E. Church, under the able direction of Professor, Bartlett gave several beautiful selections in perfect harmony. The speech welcoming Mrs. Bass was pronounced by Attorney Hugh E. Bacbeth, who displayed much heartfelt feeling and he was frequently applauded. In a very short speech Mrs. Bass' pastor, the distinguished Dr. H. H. Drowd of the Second Baptist Church, congrartulated Mrs. Bass on her return to her great admirers in Southern California. Professor Greer made a little speech fairly brimming over with humor and good-fellowship. At the conclusion of a very nice program, that able little race woman, Mrs. Clara A. Hulbert President of the Allensworth Club and a foremost leader in race betterment, stepped forward and in a few and very inspiring words, presented Mrs. C. Spear-Bass with a beautiful solid gold wrist watch, inscribed in the inner case: "To Mrs. C. A. Spear-Bass By TheCitizens of Los Angeles, Call," with her monogram artistically engraven on the back of the watch. a wrist watch case in addition accompanied the present. With much feeling Mrs. Bass thanked the citizens who made this testimonial of their appreciation of her, and after the Benediction by J. L. Craw, Pastor of the A. M. E. Church, Mrs. Bass held quite a levy from the platform of the pulpit being warmly greeted by the large gathering present. The Committees In charge of this very successful testimonial, the first of its kind in Los Angeles, were made up of donors to the beautiful watch presented, whose names will appear in next week's issue of the California Eagle.

Leaving Los Angeles, June 17, my first stop of any length was Topeka, Kansas, where I visited my husband's mother, Mrs. Susan Thompson, who resided at the beautiful home of her niece, Mrs. L. F.O'Brien of 1180 Buchanon St. Mrs. O'Brien is a charming hostess and linking her efforts with the other relatives and friends of my husband in Topeka, they succeeded in making my stay at that city one of the most pleasant experiences of my life. At Topeka I met Rev. J. T. Hill, exp pastor of Big Mt. Zion of this city, now pastering the largest and most progressive Baptist Church of that City. Rev. and Mrs. Hill did everything within their power to make my stay at Topeka interesting, the former securing Lieut. Knott's (of the Topeka fire department) carriage, we visited the Topeka Plaindealer office and practically every business enterprise operated by Colored people. Sunday morning, when we repaired at Rev. Hill's Church, that divine took pleasure in presenting that portion of his congregation that represented the thinking element of the community and among them were school teachers, lawyers, physicians, business men and farmers. Never before had we met so many active spirits among our people working together for a common cause. From Topeka we went to St. Louis, where our stay was brief, but where we had time to observe that there were many idle among our people serving as weights on the progress of that thrifty anxious element among us in every city, anxious for first place among the people of the earth. From St. Louis we went to Boston, and on to Providence, the point we were anxious to make, since the main object of our trip after all was to visit our mother, who had ben ill for two years. After spending about two weeks quietly with our mother and nearby relatives, we went to Boston and Portland, Me., where we spent much time visiting historical points, trying always to be keenly observant of the part our own people are playing in every walk of life that tends towards uplift. After our visit to Boston and Maine we returned again to Providence where we spent another four weeks renewing old acquaintances and enjoying pleasant entertainment furnished by our relatives and friends, such as receptions, automobile parties and nippens. In spite of the pleasant outings we participated in, we found time to visit and investigate every Colored business enterprise or meeting while in the city of Providence. We are pleased to note that the G. U. O. of O. F. has erected one of the most completely fitted up halls at a cost of $17,000, that it has ben our privilege to observe anywhere, and we are very grateful to Mr. Howard Johnson, secretary of the Odd Fellows Association and Sister E. J. Holmes, whom we found to be a true Ruth, for showing us and explaining every detail connected with the work of the order about Privedence. We also noticed that a branch of the True Reformers at Providence have erected one of the pretties and nearest little halls in that section, where some of the most pretentious social affairs are given. True Reformer's Hall is a developed idea of an energetic little woman, who is even now leading light of the proposition. Among the live wires of Providence is Benjamin T. Montgomery, District Manager of the National Benefit Lifet Insurance Co., and chairman of the Providence Silent Parade Committee. When and wherever in Providence we were asked to say something, we found the people of that section anxious to know about California. A few days before leaving Providence, we went as guests of Miss Elizabeth Carter to New Bedford, Mass., where we met and greeted a goodly number of our people at Bethel A. M. E. Church. By request, Miss Carter took us through the New Bedford Home for the Aged. A visit to this home furnished greater inspiration for us than any other glimpse along the way. This home is one of the most beautifully furnished, and most orderly kept that I have seen owned by any people and comes nearer to answering the idea of a real home than would wager to say any where else in Christendom. About its surroundings there is no atmosphere of the institutional idea but a real home for unfortunate aged peo- San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SEPTEMBER 22, 1917 ple who are left alone in the world. I was interested to find that more than half the inmates were white and to learn from Miss Carter that they had more white applications than Colored, but that the desire was to give the Colored first chance, if possible. About eighteen years ago the idea of this home was conceived by Miss Carter, who was at the time a public school teacher at New Bedford. So thoroughly convinced was Miss Carter as to the need of such an institution at New Bedford, that she set to work almost single handed and now at the expiration of a few years ardent labor New Bedford has one of the most beautiful Homes for the Aged anywhere in the country, valued at not less than $30,000. If one person with a handful population can accomplish so much in so short a time, greater things ought to come forth from cities where the Colored population runs into many thousand. During my sojourn at Providence, I made several visits to Newport, among which was on Sept. 3, when I attended the Annual Field Day Demonstration and Conventions of the 7th Patriarchie Regiment and Subordinate Lodges of the G. U. O. of O. F. of the New England States. This is one of the biggest annual fetes of the order in the Eastern section and upon this occasion was well attended. The parade passing through the main streets of Newport, was viewed by some of the wealthiest people of this country, who had not yet deserted their summer mansions at Newport. During my visit to New York City I was greatly impressed with the effort being made by members of the Race along many lines, but it seems to me that the greatest effort put forth by the Colored people of greater New York in recent years was the silent demand for equal rights under the Constitution, as was demonstrated by the Silent parade, when on July 28th, more than 10,000 members of the Race marched silently to the dull music of muffled drums, through some of the main streets of New York City. Only timely inscribed banners demonstrated the sentiment of the paraders. The slogan of a silent demand for justice, which means nothing more or less than the abolition of lynch and mob-bits, petty discrimination and an opportunity to measure arms in the different Trade avocations of this country has gone, forth, and it is hoped that every city where the population is large enough and the condition demands it will speedily carry out the idea of a silent parade. The next cities of magnitude visited by us were Philadelphia and Chicago. At Philadelphia we renewed our acquaintance with Independence Hall, Pennsylvania and Temple Universities and the Douglass and Mercy Hospitals. At Chicago we went through that end of State St. occupied by the Colored business contingency of Chicago and found a prosperous asmosphere prevailing. Being interested in a Los Angeles girl in training at Provident Hospital, we wended our way there. We were conducted through the hospital by the Superintendent of Nurses, who was kind enough to explain everything in detail and to satisfy our inquiry concerning Miss Bessie Barren, who is making an enviable record at Provident. Provident, located as it is, is filling a great need and should receive the hearty support of our people in the Middle West. At Kansas City, our next stop, we were royally entertained by the happy bride and groom, Prof. and Mrs. Robt. Jackson. Just the evening before our arrival at Kansas City Prof. and Mrs. Jackson had been entertained at an elaborate reception tendered them by some of the leading citizens of Kansas City. We opine that Mrs. Jackson, talented as she is, will make for herself an enviable record in the music realm at Kansas City. We were at Kansas City but a short period, but found time to visit the Kansas City Sun, and the worthy editor, Mr. N. Crews and the colored business block in that vicinity, including the colored Y. M. C. A., which is without a doubt one of the best plants of its kind in the U. S. We went from attic to cellar and found nothing not to enjoy but in ship ship. We did not meet the secretary, but were persuaded to believe that he knows his business and that Kansas City has to its credit one of the best shelters for the young men of the race to be found anywhere. We also ran across one of the largest and best equipped apothecaries in the Middle West at Kansas City, and to our surprise found that it was owned and operated by Mr. Wood, brother to our very own Mr. Wood, the past, present and future printer of Los Angeles. From Kansas City we hastened to Houston, Texas, our objective point on our return trip. It is needless for us to tell you that before we were scarcely out of the State of Kansas we were invited into the Jim Crow car. It is decidedly painful for us to attempt to relate our experience in the two nights' ride from Parsons, Kansas, to Houston, Texas, which takes one through the major parts of Oklahma and Texas. The Jim Crow car in most cases is untidy and unsanitary and to my mind is the evil undercurrent in the making of the Jim Crow Negro. Women and men are huddled together in what is sometimes but a half car with a little lavatory, without a wash bowl, for the use of both sex, and the colored help on the entire train, sometimes consisting of twelve or sixteen coaches. It is, however, worth the discomfiture of a two nights' ride for it is the only medium through which one may get the actual facts in the case of the Jim Crow system as it is practiced by most of the Southern States. (Continued in next issue) THE DEACONESSES' BOARD OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH, 8th AND TOWNE AVE., ENTERTAINS THE NEW PASTOR, REV. CRAW, THE OFFICIAL FAMILY AND CHOIR. On Tuesday night of this week, the Board of Deaconesses, under the direction of Mrs. Crockett, a faithful member of this auxiliary society, assisted by Mesdames Comma, Browning and others, entertained the entire official family of First Church with a program and refreshments in what was designated as "A get together meeting." Miss Isadore Stewart acted as mistress of ceremonies and in a timely address stated the purpose of the reception and the good to be obtained in such meetings, pledging at the same time the hearty support of each department of the church this year to the new minister, that unparalleled success might be achieved. Mr. Busby addressed the assembly in behalf of the Trustee Board; Mrs. Annie Warner in behalf of the Board of Stewardesses; Mrs. Eliza Warner in behalf of the Stewardesses' Auxiliary Board; Mr. Thom. Norris in behalf of the choir and Mr. George Warner in behalf of the Stewardesses. the choir rendered several selections and then Mrs. Crockett presented Mrs. Steward, President of Board of Deaconess with a beautiful token, and Mrs. Craw with a nice present. It was an evening of great good to the Official Family and presages the dawn of a new day in the proceeding of this great church. The pastor, Rev. J. Logan Craw, delivered helpful and appreciative remarks at the close of the program and then all were served in the banquet hall to a refreshing repast. On Friday, Sept. 14, 1917, at the cozy bungalow of Mrs. J. J. James, West 36th Place, Star of Bethlehem Tabernacle held a reception from 6 to 11 p.m., in honor of Mrs. M. L. Gottschalk, Grand High Preceptress, and the delegates of the Temple and Tabernacle. The home was beautifully decorated with dahlias and roses making one feel as though they were in a garden. The callers were many. Miss R. Vaughn presided at the punch bowl. The charming Misses Ruby Harris, Hazel Gottschalk and Bertha Woods assisted in serving. With appropriate words Mrs. M. D. Medlock presented Mrs. M. L. Gottschalk with a beautiful bouquet of white carnations on behalf of the Tabernacle. Those in the receiving line were Mrs. M. L. Gottschalk, Mrs. C. James of Pasadena, Mrs. M. B. Waller, Mrs. V. Fingers, Mr. P. E. Alexander. Mrs. Jones proved herself a delightful hostess, with the assistance of the following ladies: Mrs. M. Harris, Mrs. M. D. Medlock, Mrs. W. W. Woods, Mrs. L. Diggs. The refreshments were in keeping with the occasion. The affair is one long to be rememb C. M. E. Conference Close The ninth session of the California conference, which has been in session at Phillips Chapel on Newton St. came to a close on Monday night when the appointments were read by Bishop Phillips. There were but few changes in the appointments. Revs Z. Z. Johnson and Wm. Seldon were re-appointed presiding elders of the Arizona and Los Angeles districts respectively. Rev. J. J. R. Rector was appointed pastor at Berkeley to succeed himself; Rev. W. B. Butler was re-appointed to Santa Monica; Rev G. H. Clark is to supply El Centro; Rev A. J. Norris was appointed to El Paso; Rev. A. C. Caldwell to Phoenix; Rev T. C. Cook to Douglas and Rev Thos. Hughes to Carlsbad. Rev J. C. Anderson was re-appointed to Los Angeles. Rev. Jas. A. Stout was located. Sunday was a great day at the seat of the conference. Bishop Phillips preached at eleven o'clock and long before that hour the house was filled to its utmost capacity. More than two hundred people were turned away from this service. The bishop was at his best and the congregation was swayed as a field of waving grain as the Bishop preached. Rev. W. B. Butler preached at the afternoon service, and eRv. A. Caldwell at the night service. All of the services were full of the fire and Holy Ghost. The Bishop and conference were the recipients of many social courtesies. The Bishop and his party were entertained with a dinner in the home of Mrs. Williams on E. Eleventh St., on Saturday afternoon. After the dinner the party went for an auto ride with Mrs. Shafter as hostess. On Monday afternoon, the Bishop and party were guests at a dinner given by Mrs. Ladye Bowen on E. Seventeenth St. On Tuesday evening the conference went in a party to Santa Monica and were the guests at a dinner given at the home of Mrs. Olivia Foster. Mrs. Betty Wilson also entertained the party in the beautiful dining room of he La Bonita. Tuesday afternoon the Bishop and a party of ladies were guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shackelford on an auto trip through the city. The pastor and people of the local church were very highly complimented for the splendid manner in which they entertained the conference. The Bishop and party were guests at a dinner on Wednesday evening at the home of Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Anderson and on Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Mitchell. From every point of view the conference was the best ever held in the history of this conference. The conference will meet at Phoenix, Ariz. next year. Rev. J. C. Anderson was elected as clerical delegate to the general conference which meets in Chicago in May, 1918. Rev. Z. Z. Johnson was elected alternate. Mr. E. B. Maxey was elected lay delegate to the general conference and Mr. W. T. E. Robinson was elected alternate. Rev. G. W. Reed, field secretary and director of young people's work for the Western Baptist Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. conventions. delivered a series of lectures last week to the Pleasant Hill Sunday school and Union of Los Angeles and Friendship Sunday school and Union of Pasadena. The lectures are said to have been very inspiring and of an extraordinary helpful nature. The field secretary in his lectures, is dealing logically with the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. questions. In his first series he speaks on the "Origin of the Sunday School and Its Purpose," and the "Fundamental Objects of the B. Y. P. U." His lectures are not dry; they are alive with witty illustrations and earnestness that makes one forget the time. S. W. Green and wife, after a pleasant visit of 10 days, left last Tuesday for their home in New Orleans. Mr Green is Grand Chancellor of the K of P. and while here was royally entertained by members of that order. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 32 TEN DAYS IN SAN DIEGO AND MEXICO AND WHAT I HAVE SEEN. Plenty of Democrats; Barrooms and Kentuckians. We enlisted at the Richmond Hotel where we joined an army of guests, and were soon on our way to Mrs. Defrantz's, on Third street, to camp for our meals. From there we went to Mr. J. H. Griffin's barber shop, where he shaved us so clean that it would make you believe you were in the trenches or on the way to Camp Kearney. There are two new and second-hand furniture stores conducted by colored men—Dodge & Day, on F street, and H. H. Harvey on Market street; one policeman, and Mr. Benton is the Government meat inspector; his wife, Mrs. Benton, is the organist at the A. M. E. Church. There are three churehes there—two Baptist and one Methodist. Rev. R. H. Guy is pastor of the Methodist body, Rev. C. Williams at Mt. Zion, and Rev. W. A. Mitchell at the Baptist Church. We visited all the churches while in that city. They are a praying people, and prayer is the mainspring of the church. They have one jewelry store now. They are asking for a fire company, but I do not believe they will get it, for the sporting element is behind the movement, and when the best people are after the "sports" the latter's chances to get anything are reduced to nil. There is one clerk in the Commerce Bank, Mr. Charles H. Dodge, who has been with the bank six years. He has a beautiful bungalow at Ocean Beach. Mr. Gus Thompson has the only livery stable, on Coronado Street. Mr. Anderson owns five auto trucks and nine wagons-and employs twenty-five men, and it is said that his check is good for $25,000. He does work for the city of San Diego. At La Jolla we met Mr. J. H. Tanner, who has lived there fourteen years. He is a barber and is able to keep the wolf from the door. He says a good clothes cleaner would do well there. Write to him about it. There are very few colored people there. Mrs. De Bois, a widow has some very fine property there. Mrs. DeBois once lived in Pasadena, but at that time she was Mrs. Van Horne. We attended many receptions while in the Southern city. We were a guest of Mrs. E. M. Shepard, 453 12th street, at dinner, Tuesday and Sunday. We lunched at Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lee's. Mr. Lee is a cement contractor. Mr. E. W. Anderson, is superintendent and manager of the San Diego Rubish Co. His office is at 716 H street. The Eagle office is at 742 3d street, M. T. Laws, manager. The Eagle has the largest circulation of any race paper coming to San Diego. The only thing sad about our visit was that Mr. Frank Prince did not take his car, but says he will next time. Mr. J. H. Griffin, the barber at 566 3d street, is one of the best in the city; he is also a deacon of Mt. Zion Church and chairman of the board. He was for a long time president of the Enterprise Pub. Co. of Los Angeles. He is not from New York or Boston, but a plain Georgian by birth. We visited Dr. L. Brown's laboratory at 1010 16th street. He is the sole agent for "Tantalizing Brownskin Face Powder; also handles ladies" high grade toilet articles and will soon have an agent in this city. The best hotel in the city is The Richmond, cor. 2d and F streets and is headquartered for Pasadena folks and those from Los Angeles and San Francisco. Messrs. Collins and Robinson are the proprietors. Meet me at The Richmond. We took our meals at Mrs. Carrie DeFrance's, 736 3d street. Mrs. DeFrance is thorough mistress of the culinary art. The delectable viands provided by her are the acme of excellence. Rev. J. G. Edmonds is in San Francisco attending the A. M. E. Zion Conference. The Harrie Tubman Club, which is a Red Cross organization, will meet at the Sojourner Truth Club, Monday, they contemplate doing their bit and are getting down to real work. What the Churc What the Churches are Doing --- New Hope Baptist Church 1623 Paloma Street. REV. A. LIVELY, PASTOR. Last Sunday was up to the usual high standard at New Hope. During the evening services the various clubs, in their earnest efforts to complete the new church building, contributed $162.40. The choir, under the leadership of Bro. James Spicer, is rendering excellent service. The B. Y. P. U. rendered an interesting program, and all present were greatly benefited. Come out for the closing week of the revival at the First Baptist Church of Furlong Tract. Rev. E. Payne is doing a splendid work and should be encouraged by your presence. Rev. Hughes sf Pasadena, the pulpit giant, will conduct the service all the week. West End Baptist Sunday School Rev. Archie J. Williams, Supt. We are still growing, beginning July 8 with 42 children, on last Sunday, Sept. 16 we had enrolled 103 children. We have a very good attendance each Sunday. Our B. Y. P. U. was organized Sunday, Sept. 9. Last Sunday we had 20 members present. The subject of our lesson was, "The Necessity of Loving and Caring for Each Other."

Williams will preach from the subject, "Christ's Mission to the World." Peoples Independent Church of Christ 18th, and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs. D.D., Pastor The large crowds that assembled at this church for worship on last Sunday, were blessed abundantly. Pastor Greggs' subject at the morning service was, "The Golden Image Set Up," Isaiah 43:2. He very interestingly reviewed the causes leading up to the setting up of the golden image and presented many helpful and practical suggestions to his congregation. In the evening he spoke on "The Fiery Furnace." He very eloquently told the story of the three Hebrew children being cast into the fiery furnace, and then compared the fire of the furnace to the fire of persecutions that Christians of the present age must endure. Enthusiasm in the special financial effort ran high. At the evening session the great audience remained still and quiet for the announcement of the final result which was $1,302.61. This enables the church to cut the interest on the general debt by making an additional payment. The members and friends are rejoicing and praising God for this magnificent success.

The affair was a surprise miscellaneous shower and many, useful gifts were received by the young couple. Musical numbers were rendered under the direction of Mr. Edward Atchison, chorister. There were several inspirational talks delivered during the evening. The refreshments served and the napkins used were all of patriotic colors in keeping with the times of our country. Miss Busby was assisted in receiving by Miss Lula Allen, Miss Hazel Teemes and Mrs. Lena Little. THE KAISER'S PRAYER. Mine Gott, will you be mine bardner, You don't know who I am?

Church last Monday evening was indeed a memorable affair. The praises which spontaneously came from the lips of the various speakers for the venerable Bishop Phillips could not but make him feel that, after all, his efforts to Do SOMETHING in this direction were duly appreciated. The pastor of St. Phillip's church also came in for a large portion of the praise for his great work in this community. The program consisted of musical numbers rendered by Mrs. H. E. Norwood, Mrs. Pharr and others, and short addresses by Rev. W. E. Kinchen, Dr. H. Prowd, Milton W. Lewis, J. B. Bass, and the response by Bishop Phillips. The assemblage then adjourned to the festal board. And thus closed one of the greatest conferences of this Church in this section. THE ST. PAUL BAPTIST CHURCH Had good services all day last Sunday. Collections were good and many visitors and friends were out and seemed to enjoy the sermons greatly. We are expecting our pastor, Rev. R. N. Holt, in from the great national Baptist convention which met in Muskogee, Okla. ```markdown ``` Miss Lynch Writes From The Prairie State. Editor of The California Eagle, Los Angeles, Cal. Dear Friend, Mr. Bass: Again I attempt to write you from my home here in the Prairie State. It is not about my trip home, this time, but about some of the race churches. I shall not take time to write fully of each of them just now, but hope to say more about each in the future. We have five nice - sized Negro churches which are as follows: The McCabe Methodist Church, Rev. Mackey, pastor; Second Christian Church, Bro. Brayboy; the Second Baptist, Rev. H. H. Dewitt; Bethel A. M. E. Rev. Fisher, and Mt. Emory Baptist, Dr. E. L. Scruggs. The last two mentioned have a spacious edifice with apartments for the kitchen, dining rooms, rest rooms, and separate Sunday-school rooms, all modern and convenient. Each of the pastors mentioned have been here from one to five years. Rev. Dewitt having pastored Mt. Emory sixteen years at one time. For the last three years Dr. Scruggs has pastored Mt. Emory. He came here from Monmoreta, Ill., where he was a pastor for many years. He was also the first president of Western College, the school from which I graduated, and for sixteen years he held that office. Since being in this city he has helped to organize within his church a Brotherhood, it consisting of some very strong Christian men — men with intellect, business ability, money and influence—the kind of men of whom any race should be proud. The object of the brotherhood is not so much to raise money, but more to get better acquainted with each other; to know each man as he is, and yet love and respect him. When any member of this body of men becomes sick or hard pressed, he has only to let the Brotherhood kuow of it. and that is sufficient. This organization also has a special interest in the young, as it aims to place before them some of the best artists our race affords. The last two years it has had four large concerts a year, and has had such well known artists as Madam Hackley Mr. Douglas, Mr. Bodine, the Williams Jubilee Singers, etc. Mr. C. W. Tinsley is chairman of the program committee, and it is through him that many of the artists have appeared. They are now planning a series of programs, by different well known leaders and musicians, which will run in a circuit, taking in many cities, from Decatur, Ill., and Jefferson City, Mo. Messrs. Tinsley and Bodine have charge of this. Before another year they hope to have this circuit reach to the Coast. The different artists already booked for this winter are Mrs. Hewitt Smith of Chieago and Mr. Bodine of Mexico, Mo., who will appear together; Mrs. M. B. Anderson of Chieago, Mias Dixon, elocutionist, of Chieago; Harry H. Burley of New York, the Williams Jubilee Singers and Dr. W. T. Vernon. We feel, as does the Brotherhood, that when the public sees and hears such noted men and women as these, they will have a greater enthhsiasm and aspiration to do something to help build and uplift the race rather than degrade it. We are proud to know that such a spirit exists here. I think I can speak truthfully when I say that this is one of the strongest—or strongest—brotherhoods to be found anywhere.

We should protest until the American sense of honor is so aroused that any such affair as the East St. Louis riot be forever impossible." At the convention a protest was sent to President Wilson.

The secret about this great convention was, that it was composed of the business women of the race, women who had succeeded, and who had paid their way to tell of their success, see their great leader, get new ideas and inspiration as well as transact the business of the convention. Madame Walker then stated that at a convention composed of the graduates of the Walker system, who were experts in all things pertaining to the hair, it should not be necessary to request that the ladies remove their hats; hats went off and revealed a picture fit for the gods, a picture that told the story of the unfolding and transformation of a race and was a wonderful attestation of the face that the glory of woman lies in her hair. The convention was an education in itself, from the mayor's welcoming address to the final adjournment. Every session was inspiring, harmonious and instructive. The morning sessions were given over to business, the afternoon and evenings to the public, at which time many speakers of national prominence addressed the convention, among whom were the Hon. G. L.

And now it really seems that we are to have another wet and dry issue with the question of personal liberty absolved. And after all the Eagle can truly say that there are those who appreciate the efforts that are put forth for the betterment of all the people. Our colored women, headed by the indomitable Mrs. Eliza Warner, are doing their bit for the Red Cross, and the Harriet Tubman Red Cross Association bids fair to do much good for their line of effort. We have no time at our command to fight individuals; we are too busy standing for a principle, and to the utmost we shall, ever use our strength to stand up for the propositions which are for the upbuilding of a race. If any one doubts for a moment that the exodus from the South is on in full blast, let him meet trains which daily arrive from that section and he will quickly awaken to the fact that the black man is leaving the southland hunting industrial freedom, true liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We have heard much favorable comment on our editorial of last issue relative to the irresponsible and barefoot self appointed race leaders and we are proud of the fact that there is hardly any division of sentiment, but that these individuals are the weights on our progress The Forum is very truly what the name implies, every man or woman may there express themselves.

Choose Your Direction, Go Forward, AND YOU WILL WIN The world is half filled with drifters, and you often see the unpleasant type of drifting man—hands in pockets, hat pulled down in front, aimlessly wandering. But drifters are not all of this type. You may find them well dressed, pockets lined with inherited money, wondering what they can do that would be worth while. You may find them going through some routine of work, quite satisfactorily, but, as they work, DRIFTING THROUGH LIFE. They have no plan, no thought as to how to make their work better, how to make life worth while. What can afford a greater contrast to the drifter, whose destination is unknown, than soldiers, marching with a purpose clear in mind and to a duty worth while? What makes the power and success of an army? FIXED PURPOSE. To a weak, vacillating general you may give soldiers, but he will bring you no victory. To an officer of strong will and good brain you give a small army, and he returns victorious. Alexander the Great took his thirty thousand Greeks against half a million Persians, and went through them like a sharp knife through a piece of cheese. He knew exactly WHAT he was after—conquest of the world in the end, and the conquest of Persia at that particular time. He went on, never stopping conquering until he died. Any young man would be horrified if told that the President were sending an army to Europe without any particular plan as to what the army was to do, where it was to go, how it was to strike. Well, young man, what General Pershing is to the army your WILL POWER should be to you. An individual is a small army of hopes, possibilities, ambitions, locked up in one body. The strength is in him, if he will use it. But if there is no general living in his skull, no directing force, he wanders like the "drifte" to a destination unknown. And when he goes into the waste basket of failure he whines, "I never had any luck." What he should say is, "I never had any PLUCK." It is the man who supplies the "p" to "luck" that arrives. The above editorial from the Daily Herald, to our minds is one upon which we may procure inspiration sufficient to create a drive that will put to flight all of the untoward happenings of life, and will create within the breast of each individual a sincere desire to succeed and we therefore commend the same to the very serious consideration of all who may have the opportunity of reading it. --- THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE FOR REN FOR RENT 12 of the most beautiful flats in the city of Los Angeles.

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 RENT special invitation to a Baby Ball on -- Hall 28 1917 Baby---Ugliest Baby. days on Friday Night, Sept. tle sister's, brother's and hours and enjoy ourselves. and will furnish music Sheridan's heroic conduct and complete rout of the enemy. The paper said it 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 another 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, remembering the other son, who was not a successful general but only a faithful private in the ranks. 1 ```markdown ``` Secretary Hart Bros.

The Negro has no axe to grind in the matter. The wets are white people and the drys are white people. The Negro has nothing to gain or lose whether it goes wet or dry. The preachers of the Negro race and other professional men of the race have done nothing since 1876 but peddle the rank and tile of the Negro race to the politicians of the white race. If you do vote either for dry or wet take no orders from the preachers or professional men of our race, but vote of your own free will and accord. L. C.

We want to thank those who so willingly paid their bill when presented to them and those who subscribed for the Eagle. It is sometimes easier to give in than to keep up the argument. THE SOLDIER'S CREED Many of our soldier boys go seriously about this business of war. They know what it may mean to them. It is not easy for them to surrender their personal liberty and to be swallowed up by the rules and regulations of the military. They know they must not lose themselves in the mass of soldiers. They must answer to their God not in any official or professional capacity, but as individuals. He must have initiative, hence he must cherish his faith and follow what he believes. Recently we found a noble creed written by a lamented soldier of the civil war. Its frankness and high idealism will comfort all father's and mother's hearts who have a soldier boy and for whom they pray daily, he may not lose his Christian faith under the temptations of military life. Read it to your young men and to those who have not enlisted. It will do them good. During the civil war a dashing young American soldier from a subordinate rank quickly rose to the command of his regiment, the First Ohio cavalry. While at the head of his men, leading a desperate charge in the battle of Stone River, he was killed. That was on December 31, 1862, and Col Milliken was only twenty-eight years old-when he fell. Among his papers was found a document which he had entitled "The Soldiers Creed," and here are some extracts therefrom: "I have enlisted in the service of my country for the term of three years, and have sworn faithfully to discharge my duty, uphold the Constitution, and obey the officers over me. "Let me see what motives I must have had when I did this things. It was not pleasant to leave my friends and my home, and, relinquishing my liberty and pleasures, bind myself to hardships and obedience for three years by a solemn oath. Why did I do it? "I did it because I loved my country. I thought that, having been a good government to me and my fathers befor me, I owed it to her to defend her from all harm, so when I heard of the insults offered her I raise up as if some one had struck mother, and as a lover of my country agreed to fight for her. And so I drew up a set of resolutions like this "I, As my health and strength had been devoted to the government, that I would take as good care of them as possible; that I would be cleanly in my person and temperate in all my habits. I felt that to enlist for the government and then by carelessness or drunkenness make myself unfit for service would be too mean an act for me. "2. As the character I have assumed is a noble one, I will not disgrace it by childish quarrelling, by loud and foolish talking, by profane swearing, and indecent language. "3. As my usefulness in a great measure depends on my discipline. I am determined to keep my arms in good order, to keep my clothing mended and brushed, and to attend all drills and to do my best to master all my duties as a soldier and make myself perfectly acquainted with all the exercises and evolutions, and thus feel always ready to fight. It seems to me stupid for a man to apprentice himself to as serious a trade as war, and then try by lying and deception to avoid learning anything." A soldier of this type will be an honor to his country—Western Christian Advocate. 1910 Personal--PROF. CARIO The Great Egyptian Palmist- Read 14,000 people in San Fran- ions from all visitors.

He was always too busy too earnestly engaged in his efforts for the "uplift of his people, the elevation of the lowly." During the last day of the session a discussion of migration was conducted by Dr. R R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, and Dr. D W. Sherrod of Meridian, Miss. In this discussion Dr. Moton delivered a speech in which he said: SOUTH MEETS NEGRO PROBLEM League Meeting at Chattanooga Is Attended by State and City Officials and Leaders Engaged in Bettermsnt Work. "There are certain advantages which the Negro here in the South has, and which the North does not offer. Competition is not so strong in the South and the Negro can buy land in any city and state in the South with comparatively little money. We are not as accustomed to the climate there as we are here in the South. Neither are we as accustomed to the people of the North as we are to those of the South. Chattancoga, Tenn.--Of peculiar interest because of the war and the Negro labor problems, the eighteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, held in Chattanooga, has been given much publicity in the South. A three days' convention, one of the meetings of which was held on the top of Lookout Mountain, furnished an opportunity for prominent men—both white and colored—to discuss Negro business problems. A large number of valuable papers were read by members of the league. "In the South we must see to it, and use every means to see, that the Negro gets higher wages; that he works under favorable conditions; that he has good schools for his children, and that he has the proper protection of life and property everywhere, as any other class of citizens. Mob law, lynching, burning, or any other form of injustice does not and cannot help the situation in the least." Jessie M. Littleton, Mayor of Chattanooga, opened the session with a patriotic speech in which he declared he would rather walk at the head of a Negro regiment than one composed of members of any other race. He was given a prolonged ovation. Gov. Thos. C. Rye was another prominent speaker, and paid a tribute to the Langston Rifles, now company G of the national guard, organized nearly 40 years ago. He praised the loyalty of the Negro and paid tribute to Booker T. Washington, founder of the league, J. C. Napier, president of the league and re-elected at this session, was formerly register of the U. S. treasury and cashier of the One Cent Savings bank of Nashville. He paid further tribute to Booker T. Washington. In the course of his address he said: Juvenile Thief Goes to Whittier The youthful purloiner who filched from the cash register of Smith & Leggetts's drug store checks and cash aggregating nearly $200 a few weeks ago, has been apprehended and on trial in the Juvenile Court has been ordered confined to Whittier until he is 21 years of age. The youthful miscreant confessed the theft and showed the officers where the empty pocketbook and check were cached. And thus closes the last act in this pitiful drama in real life, one in which lack of moral training is shown to have rendered a youngster all too susceptible to the lures held out to youth "Emancipation had brought physical freedom to the Negro, but the effects of centuries of slavery still hung to him. A combination of circumstances and events had put him in a peculiar position. If, after emancipation had come, a spirit of friendship and helpfulness had been inspired and cultivated between former slave and former master both would have been in a different temper to adjust the new conditions and relations in which they found themselves. Upon the recommendation of Monroe N. Work, editor of the Negro Year Book, Noah D. and Eloise Bibb-Thompson of Los Angeles, were selected by the executive council of "The Association for Study of Negro Life and History,' as persons desirable as members of the association. The annual convention of the association was recently held in Washington, D. C., where new members were recommended and further plans inaugurated for prosecuting the work of saving the records of the Negro race. It was not until Booker T. Washington came upon the scene that this propaganda was set out and began to be promoted. Either directly or indirectly his work has in one way or another had the effect of not only raising and elevating every one with whom he came in contact, but many who have never seen or heard him have been inspired with lofty ideals, have been raised to a higher standard of civilization, to a greater degree of usefulness. He was the friend of all and knew nothing but to love his fellow men. Even for those who reviled and hated him, those who misunderstood and misrepresented his aims and methods, those who never allowed an opportunity to pass to place him in a false light before his fellow man and the country, he never was known to utter a word of abuse or rude re- A "Journal of Negro History" is published quarterly by the association. Prominent among the members of the organization are Geo. Foster Posboy, Julius Rosenwald, Moorfield Story, J. G. Phelps Stokes and many others prominent in litery and business circles. It has been suggested by Editor Monroe N. Work that a branch of the association be organized on the Pacific Coast with a view to popularizing the movement of unearthing contributions to civilization, which has been so long neglected.

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 gun-hers, 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 investor 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 20,00 barrels, then each share of eight lots will receive $600 a month.
