Roland B. Hayes World-Renowned In Recital at Blanchard 'sHall, February 11th ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 Roland A RISING GENIUS By D. Leo Taylor Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons' lecture last Sunday night was educational and enlightening. One which will long be remembered in Los Angeles, thanks to Major Loving, through whom he was brought to Los Angeles. The average Negro north and west thinks if a man has not founded two or three universities or held a position in the White House, he cannot be great. But the colonel left a different impression upon them and at least spoke the 'sentiments of the twelve million of us. Yet from all indications the colonel is a great man and is, walking in the footsteps of those gone before. Displaying the same force and 'intelligence, commanding the same respect from those who set before him and listened to his outpour of gratitude and determined stand. More were turned away than heard him. Col. Simmons is an eloquent talker, and during his lengthy lecture held his audience spell bound. Thanks to him for the message he brought to Los Angeles.

Main ABOUT LOWER CALIFORNIA LAND Arrangements are being rushed with a hint in the development of the Lower California Mexican Land and Development Company. On Monday morning, Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan issued the articles of incorporation for the American Company. Papers are now being drawn in Lower California for the Mexican company. As fast as the legal machinery of the two countries can move, the legal structure of this wonderful Lower California project is being completed. Within the next ten days or two weeks, it is expected that the corporation commissioner of the state of California will send his legal and land experts into Lower California to examine the land and the title to the same and make their report thereon. After this report is rendered the matter will go to Sacramento for further legal action and then the colored citizens of the state of California will have their opportunity to participate in the greatest project ever put before colored Americans elsewhere. In the Eagle is to be found two views of some of the lands which the Lower California Mexican Land and Development Company purposes to purchase in Lower California. It is understood that the company has under consideration five or six different parcels of land. The one they will take first will depend largely upon the recommendation of the corporation commissioner of the state of California. It is understood that a monster public meeting will be given in the near future at Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, at which time the finest series of talks on Mexico and views of Lower California lands will be presented. ONE OF LOS ANGELES' FAVORITE MUSICIANS HEARD FROM Echoes from Seattle, Wash., reached us this week starring that our own Mme. Larenza Jordan Cole, on Tuesday evening, Jan. 29th, had inspired all Seattle's music loving public with one of the greatest piano recitals in the annals of the city's history. The recital was given before a crowded house at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The local talent assisting Mrs. Cole upon this occasion were Mrs. Estelle Jackson, soprano, Mrs. Calvin Armstrong, reader, Mr. G. J. Brown, violinist. Every number rendered by Mrs. Cole brought forth the heartiest applause, and music critics present predicted that Mrs. Cole was one of America's coming musicians. Not only is Mrs. Cole's technique good but her earnest interpretation classes with that of persons of ability. Los Angeles is duly proud of Mrs. Cole and with the others looks forward to an excellent future for this yet young artist. WHY YOU SHOULD HEAR ROLAND W HAYES We have with us a young man who is making good. He has been fighting a hard battle, lifting a heavy load, climbing a steep hill. Today he nears the top with a song on his lips. I want you to hear Mr. Hayes Monday evening without fail. He belongs to us, is one of us, therefore we must appreciate our own. He possesses talents: to be charmed by their display will send us on with a greater courage and nobler inspiration. He personifies grit, self-control, pluck and perseverance, qualities that follow in the wake of success. For our own betterment and for his encouragement we should be present. He has caused Boston, musical Boston, to him homage. In no uncertain terms have they sung his praise. He must have stood the test. The Califurnia Eagle --- MARIA Who passed away Wednesday, February 5, at 10:30 a.m. She was born in Dallas, Texas, in 1889; attended Bishop College; came to Los Angeles in 1911. Her musical ability was at once realized, and she became one of Los Angeles buremont Prima Donnas; was local teacher in Wilkins' musical studio of this city. She leaves a husband and a six days' old baby and a host of friends who mourn their loss. The funeral will be conducted on Saturday, at 1 p.m., from the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, cor. Third and Traction streets. We must stand by our own. We must appreciate those who lead the way and make the pathway brighter. We must encourage, inspire and assist who labor to rise. In this way we send the message to others, "Start up the bill, and we will give you a push." How much a comforting remark will do to keep one steady! How sweet the heart responds with song and always up and ready! A word of praise, a word of cheer. They have a mighty power To lift the spirit out of gloom The same as an yflower. REV B. C. ROBESON. What the Boston Globe has to say concerning America's greatest tenor. Roland Haves. Mr. Hayes Recital An audience which had bought-out Symphony Hall to the last seat, and overrun the outer aisles of the floor and filled the stage so that the house bore the appearance in numbers of a Sunday afternoon concert by Kreisler, Paderewski or McCormack, was Who passed away born in Dallas, T. Angeles in 1911, became one of Los in Wilkins' music six days' old, bat funeral will be on Baptist Church, the tribute paid Roland W. Hayes, the gift your tenor of this city, as his recital last night. Mr. Hayes who has been steadily growing in artistic stature through study and other recital and concert appearances has a wholly uncommon native gift of emotional expression in song. He sings with intelligence as well as feeling. He has given careful thought to the art of phrasing and to that greatest of expressional arts—proportion. His diction in French and German is admirable not as the passable veneer of some student but as characteristic speech. Duparc's "Linvitation an Voyage," in showing the best qualities of voice, was a feature of his program, for there was regard for its delicate texture and imagery. Accompanied by Harry T. Burleigh the composer. Mr. Hayes sang a group of Mr. Burleigh's Negro spirituals, music of sympathetic and characteristic spiritual beauty, appropriately voiced by Mr. Hayes and a marked success of the evening. In other songs, William S. Lawrence accompanied with skill and taste. MONSTER MEETING AT FIRST M. E. CHURCH GREETS COL. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS LAST SUNDAY, AFTERNOON Long before the time announced for the program to begin at Dr. Chas. Locke's church at Sixth and Hill streets, last Sunday afternoon, the spacious auditorium of this edifice was filled, to the utmost and tance. Promptly at 3 o'clock Rev. tance. Promptly at 33 o'clock Rev. J. C. Anderson called the vast assem- blage of more than 3000 people to order and after the song "Americe" San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland --- by the united choirs, and the invocation by Rey A. P. Shaw, Editor J. B. Bass was introduced as master of ceremonies. After a selection by the Wesley chapel quartette, Emanuel Hall, assisted by the chorus, sang "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground," and a plantation melody by the choir, Attorney W. O. Tyler, in a brief speech, which was resplendent with the high ideals which the distinguished orator advocates, presented to the audience the orator of the afternoon, Colonel Roseic Coomling Simmons, who was received with tumultuous applause, and for nearly two hours, with matchless eloquence he held spellbound this large and magnificent audience. His effort on this occasion was the supreme one and his reputation as the race's foremost advocate was unshred. At the conclusion of the address he received an oation and hundreds rushed forward to shake his hand. The closing selection by the united choirs and the blessing by Rey H. D. Proudw brought to a close the largest and most memorable meeting ever held on the Pacific coast. MARIA MDME. ELLA J.

"Altogether, a War Governor, in whom we may safely repose our ab- solute faith and confidence." "We are assured that all who meet and heard Governor Sephens while in Stanislaus will feel that we have expressed their sentiments, that they reciprocate his kind expressions and in all sincerity assure him that his addresses have imparted new stimulus to the many who have shown and are daily showing their loyalty in works and in deeds and in words: have given us a broader realization of duties and responsibilities: have stirred the sluggish and have placed the fear of the future in the hearts of the 'slackers', and since the 'voice of the people is the voice of God,' have placed the 'fear of God' in the hearts of the traitors among us." ADDRESSES WOMANS' CATHOLIC CLUB Our well known literary genius, Mrs. Eloise Bibb Thompson, had the distinguished honor, of addressing the above organization at their club room last Wednesday. Mrs. Thompson merits the recognition which has been hers from time to time, and her great work for the general uplift of humanity wherever she has lived shines forth with lustre. The club editor of the Daily Tribune spoke of her address with the highest compliments in that paper. LITTLE ERNISTENE JONES HONORED When she received her term card for the mid winter, little Ernistene was surprised and happy to know that her standing was top heavy with hundreds, and that she was given a place on the Honor Society of the 14th street school. Ernistene is a very ambitious little girl, and early in life planned that she would make a place in the gallery of fame for herself. She is also one of Prof. Wilkins' best pupils, and active in the Sunday school. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Jones, parents of Ernistene, are very proud of the progress being made along all lines by their little daughter. O a, m. She was college; came to Los Angeles, realized, and she was local teacher, a husband and a friend in their loss. The friend from the Mt. Zion DIDO THE HERO Everything passed quietly on board the first night; no unusual or exciting events took place; the peace and happiness of the travelers was marked by scenes of jovial and at times, hilarious carousing. The Juniata was scheduled to arrive at Detroit at four o'clock in the afternoon, but owing to the fast gathering storm her speed was cut down while passing the dangerous rocks and crags near Detroit Harbor. All passengers sighed for relief when the steamer dropped anchor in the harbor. As soon as the boat was made fast to the dock, deck hands began loading her with minerals and merchandise bound for Duluth. Everything, to one not acquainted with shipping, seemed to be in a state of confusion. The wheels of the heavy trucks rolling over the thick boards that formed the floors of the pier reminded one of the roar of distant thunder. It was just ten minutes to eight when the last man rolled his truck out of the freight hole. Ten minutes more and they would be ready to sail. "Up anchor" shouted the captain; "we hate a heavy load of grain and steel that must be in Duluth by Saturday morning." "Captain," asked one of the members of his crew, "you don't intend to leave in face of this great storm, do you? Why the lightning is so fierce, that it seemed a minute ago that the heavens themselves had been rent asunder by its sudden flash. And, too, there was a peal of thunder so violent and sudden that I thought heavens and earth had come together." "I am surprised at you, Dido. I thought that you were a seaman. You have been with me these ten years and never have you known me to fail in leaving or arriving on time." "Yes, I know, Captain, but never during those ten years have I seen the lakes, with all their just claims to treachery, more boisterous than tonight." "What are you men waiting for," shrieked the captain to the other members of his crew who stood near, their books and silence agreeing with everything Dido had spoken. "Never! Captain, murmured one of the sailors. I love the sea life and I honor and respect you even in face of danger, but where your own life and safety are at hazard, we would not be wise to encourage our noble captain to put out to sea. "If any man had told me that Dido was a coward I would have tailed that man a liar," continued the captain. At these words Dido's face grew red, while the sardonic smile and the THE LAND OF THE LION THE FAMOUS RINCON VALLEY. peculiar twitching of his lips told of an inward feeling of resentment. Leaving the hurricane deck where the quarrel between Dido and the captain had taken place, the former came down the salon stairs muttering away to himself. The captain followed a few minutes later, and out reaching the purser's office was approached by a passenger, who asked: "Surely you won't sail from this port tonight, Captain." "Oh, no," was the prompt reply. "I am glad to hear you say 'no.' My wife and our two daughters are on board and had we known before-hand that the lakes are so violent in December we would have waited until a later date." ETERNAL SPRING OF WATER. Messrs.

Troy & Macbeth, at Source of Creek on famous Santa Clara Ranch, Lower Caiifornia, which the Lower California Mexican Land and Development Company propose to buy; the ranch consists of 9,000 acres. "Rest assured that you and your family will be perfectly safe" added the captain. The gentleman who had just spoken to the captain was Mr. Michael Bradshaw, president of the New York Stock Exchange and who, having been called away to Duluth on business, had decided to take along his family. Mr. Bradshaw lost no time in locating his wife and daughters to inform them of the captain's decision. "Good!" exclaimed the three in a single breath. Mr. Bradshaw stood near the balcony that overlooked the main salon; he saw the dim outline of a person pass by on the deck and stepped forward to see who it was. He placed himself so as to see and not be seen, and straining his ears, he heard these words: "If I lose this, we go; if I win we stay," ejaculated Jaunka, and re-entered the room to take up where he had left off. All passengers on board the Juniata had gone to bed. Everyone felt safe and secure abiding in the Captain's promise to remain in port. All lights, had been extinguished except a few red ones which according to fire and maritime regulations, must be left burning all night. The impromptu cabaret party had sung and played until they seemed intoxicated with ecstasy. The end came when they sang "Home Sweet Home" and closed the piano for the night. Shortly after midnight a bell rang. Returning from the boiler room where he had overheard the conversation between Mike the engineer and Captain Jaunka, Dido reached the salon in good time to hear the He called me a coward. I am not a coward. A man would be a fool to rush madly and headstrong out to see tonight when everything is so dark and dismal that one can't see his hand before him. Besides, I've been with Captain Jaunka about ten years. Never before have I disobeyed one of his orders. Many times I have injured myself, endangered my health and even risked my life because of some hazardous or foolhardy adventure of his. He wants to be called a brave man. I must be called a coward. Yes, I instructed all the men, deck hands, cooks and the crew, to refuse to sail unless the storm abated sufficiently to warrant our departure. As soon as Dido had ended his siloloquy Mr. Bradshaw quietly turned away so as not to be observed by either Dido or the other passengers. In the meanwhile Captain Jaunka had located the first and second mate with whom he agreed to start a Black Jack game in the officer's cabin. They seated themselves around a green covered table. Jaunka took from his pocket a handful of silver coins. The sight of so much money gave inspiration and hope to the two mates and they began betting with a vengeance. The captain doubled every bet. He was very much enthused over the game but did not forget that he was to play a doublecock before daybreak. The mates were making rapid inroads into Jaunka's pile of money. There remained only two coins of small denomination before him. They hit him going and coming; they Black --- Jacked him right and left. Things got so hot that Jaunka asked to be excused that he might go to borrow some money from the Purser. On the way to the Purser's office Jaunka paused, scratched his head, thought awhile then rushed to the phone and talking to Mike, the engineer gave instructions to keep up steam all night. The berths on the Hurricane Deck, being exposed to the North from which direction the wind was blowing, would therefore be made very uncomfortable for the sleeping passengers. With a bang, Jaunka slammed the receiver back on the hook; +He withdrew from his pocket a wallet and pulled out five ten-dollar bills.

The fellow who never does any more than he's paid to do never gets paid for any more than he does. I'll go." Dido was a man of thirty years.

On last Friday evening the 1st inst. the choir received a delightful surprise at the close of rehearsal they were highly entertained by Miss Nora Lambert. THE ST. PAUL BAPTIST CHURCH Pastor Holt has just closed a successful revival at St. Paul. Twenty-six souls came over and declared for a new life. Pastor Holt was able assisted by Rev. Lane late of Dallas. Tex. Rev. Lane is an evangelist indeed. The meeting held only two weeks. The church is in high spirit as never before in the history of the church. Our greatest need is a larger building to accommodate the many who crowd, the aisles of St. Paul. Pastor Holt has drawn plans and specifications for a new St. Paul. All departments of our churches are doing well. Total finance for the month ending Feb. 3rd, 1918, $547 60. Raised during two weeks' revival $124 45. Sunday morning found Pastor Holt at his post, and in good condition, as was evidenced by the masterly sermon which took the audience off its feet. Subject: "Three Essential Steps into the Kingdom of God." Text Mark 16:15-16. Members from many churches in the city were present, representing many denominations. But in the demonstration that followed, all seem to be caught in the same spell, Baptizing at three p.m. Rev. Lane preached the closing sermon at 7:30 p.m. Come to see us some time. Pastor Holt will preach for Rev. Lively at New Hope Church on the third Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m., and at Furlong Tract on the second Sunday evening at 3:00 p.m. Hear him. A. GREAT REVIVAL MEETING JUST CLOSED St. Paul Baptist Church, Rev. Holt, pastor, opened fire on the devil's camp two weeks ago by getting the services of Rev. N. T. Lane, B. S. the gospel specialist of Houston, Tex., and after firing on the devil's camp for two weeks, Dr. Lane sent to the bottom of the sea the devil's best ships, but the church was able to rescue 26 souls, who are now saved from sin and death¹ On Sunday last, at 3:30 p.m., the pastor baptized a large number and Sunday night our Dr. N. P. Lane, B. S. preached to a crowded house. I am sure all who heard him were convinced that he was at his best, for our hearts) burned as he talked. Dr. Lane is a great evangelist. REV. HOLT, Pastor FIRST A. M. E. CHUCH. The pastor delivered both sermons at the services last Sabbath and there were five accessions to membership. A new class, No. 14, with Bro. Edward Carrington leader, was organized. Two more new classes will be organized in the near future to take care of the many new members that are coming into the church. The choir delighted both congregations that worshipped at First church and a large number of communicants feasted at the Lord's table. The offering was good.

BAPTIST MINISTERS' ALLI ANCE The Baptist ministers alliance held a glorious session on last Monday, Dr H. D. Proud presiding. The regular program was carried out with one exception, i.e. Rev R. D. Airline having been assigned the subject "Missions" the same was deferred until February 18, at which time we hope to have the president of all the home and foreign missionary societies, as well as members of all mission bands. Dr Airline is able to tell something of missions that will be helpful to all. On Monday, February 14, at 12, Dr. R. N. Holt will read a paper before the Alliance Subject, "Three Essential Steps Into the Kingdom of God." This promises to be the chief feature of the session, and much comment is expected, as he will deal largely with the doctrine of the Baptist Church. Come and hear for yourself. Our hearts were saddened by the announcement of the resignation of Dr. F. H. Davis, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church. The ministerial fraternity, as well as much of the laity, is shocked by this unexpected happening. The union caused to be issued a written statement expressing our confidence in his integrity as a Christian minister. Sister Solomon and Sister Dodswop, of Friendship Baptist church, Pasadena, were present and left some good thoughts with us. Meet us on next Monday, and read a will report next week.

Based on the shipwreck of the Apostle Paul and his companions on the first missionary journey to Rome, four helpful points were mentioned to wit: (1) We all must suffer shipwreck. (2) It is easy to criticise, but hard to be correct. (3) Combatting the viper's sting by picking up sticks. (4) Service the only royal road to greatness. Tomorrow will be another inspiring day.

On Sunday evening of January 27, the Young People's Willing Workers of the Saints' Home Church gave Miss Louse Cooksey a small token of $15 to show their mutual and increasing admiration of their gratitude for her labors in their behalf. Miss Cooksey was a graduate of this winter class of Los Angeles High School. Mr. Foster E. Driver was asked to make the presentation, and Mr. Driver spoke in the highest terms of Miss Cooksey's cooperation with him in the cause of Christianity and humanity. Miss Cooksey served the church for more than a year as pianist and was said by Mr. Driver that she filled the place as faithful as it could have been filled. In the last business meeting of the Y.-P.'s W. W., Miss Cooksey was elected secretary of that union, and was also elected as chairman of the invitation committee of the Sunday school. Miss Cooksey made a very lovely response, expressed her thankfulness and her appreciation for the token given her. Rev. E. R. Driver, the pastor, spoke expressing his thankfulness to Miss Cooksey for the services she had rendered, and left with Miss Cooksey the thought of "higher education." On Friday night, February I, the Y. P.'s W. W. gave a surprise entertainment for Miss Cooksey at her home. About sixty guests were present and a very delightful time was had. Mr. Lawrence Catley was the speaker of the evening. The talk given by Mr. Catley was very inspiring and wholesome. Dr. Dewey L. Johnson rendered two very lovely vocal solos, accompanied by Miss Mattie Cumminigs. Mr. Jonnie Cummins gave a violin solo. Miss Cookes received a very laurel number of useful graduation presents.

Mr. J. W. Mills, superintendent of the Shiloh Baptist Sunday school, has been elected to exchange places alternately with the superintendents of Stockton, Woodland and Marysville. A woman isn't necessarily in love with a man because she is jealous of him. The Monday Club added a special feature to their regular meeting last week at the home of Mrs. T. W. Hicks. After the installation of the newly elected officers by the Past President, Mrs. E. A. Johnson, Miss Alice Jackson, a bride-to-be, was given a most delightful surprise in the form of a miscellaneous shower by the members. She was a very pleasantly surprised young lady and received many beautiful presents. A very jolly evening was spent looking over the pretties and chattering over the dainty refreshments. Cold shoulder is an unpalatable dish for a friend. Mr. Cherlie Royd is on the road to complete recovery. His many friends rejoice to see him out so soon after such a serious case of pneumonia. Mr Milton Wilson, son of Rev. L S Wilson, was placed in a very embarrassing position one day last week when he went with other members of the high school basketball team to play at the N M C A and was refused admittance while all the white boys entered. Mr. Wilson returned to his home and reported the matter to his father, who called o the secretary of the institution and asked if the rules prohibited a man because he was black. The secretary, instead of answering the question stated that they would bring the matter up at a meeting they intended having later, but Rev. Wilson told him that he didn't ask nor want any taylor; but to simply know it the rule barred his son on account of his complexion. The secretary then called up another party over the phone and in a few minutes stated to the Key Wilson that it would be alright for his son to attend as the other boys and receive the same attention. Rey Wilson told him that the word Christian should be changed to read, the Young Men "White" Association. To this the secretary asserted. The word "Christian," in this case is a camouflage, according to some of the definitions of the word. A true man would as soon be knocked down as pitfall. Mr. George Morton entertained Messrs B. E. Kenny, J. Skyes and P. Counter Friday evening at an informal card game. Liquid refreshments interpersed the game. A pleasant evening was spent. There isn't much satisfaction in arguing with a man who doesn't care. The members of the Ladies' Home Missionary Society by Shiloh Baptist Church journeyed out to Rev. Anderson's home Friday evening, intending to favor him with a surprise pound party, but instead, were surprised themselves to find that the Rev. had gone out of town for the night. So Mrs. Anderson was the recipient of the many good things intended for herself and husband. Miss Pauline Ray had a few intimate friends to spend the afternoon in honor of her twentieth natal day. Sunday, Music and light refreshments were enjoyed by Misses Myce Logan, Florence Amita Milton Wilson, Ed Grubbs, Clyde Ray and Roy Logan of Woodland. Mr. anil Mrs. J. W. Mills had as their guests for dinner Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott. A most enjoyable dinner it was. The principal thing was the products of Mr. Mills' hunting trunk—a delicious goose. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Hicks of 2004 S street were delightfully surprised Thursday evening by teh members and friends of the Mothers' Club. The evening was well enjoyed with games, music and with plenty of good eats. Those attending were Messrs and Muddames F. B. Baily, K. C. Brown, E. D. Johnson, D. W. Washington, Oswal Hall, J. Covington, Chas. Churchill, Messdames P. F. O'Reilly, D. Harris, E. Vanslack, B. White, M. Travis, P. White, L. Barber, Messrs. C. LaRue, C. Johnson. Mr. E.

At the conclusion a sumptuous supper was served Rev Anderson not Shiloh Baptist Church is in Los Angeles on church businesses and will preach at the Second Baptist Church Tuesday night RIVERSIDE The Second Baptist Church was the scene of two big services on last Sunday. The morning service was devoted to an old time Covenant meeting, and was largely attended. The evening service began with a live B. Y. P. U., which was interesting from beginning to end. This meeting was led by group number one. Then followed the regular church service. The choir seemed to be at its best, as also did Pastor Reed, who preached. In high praise he touched upon two vital questions, which are now extant in our city: the "Holy Ghost and Similies." Light was thrown on these-two questions as never before in this church. Rev. Dr. Reed is strictly orthodox and Baptistic in his views upon these subjects. Among other things, he said, the Holy Ghost was a condition president and a condition consequent, that it is both cause and effect. It brings us to Christ and keeps up in Christ. He spoke of the office of the Holy Ghost as that of being a guidance, a keeper, a reminder, a quickener and a sanctifier. That its possession is not the result of some long drawn out meditation, as is being taught by persons whom he styled as "radicals." That it coached the repentant up to regeneration and remained with him to keep him. Well, suffice it to say, it was a wonderful sermon, powerfully delivered. A large crowd greeted him at this service as usual. The Oddieflows installed their newly elected officers on last Monday night. The installation was public. A nice program was rendered. The organization of the Lincoln League was completed last Thursday night. The purpose of the organization is to promote the social and political welfare of its members and betterment of the community along civic lines.

RED BLUFF NEWS Mr. Jasper Phar and Mrs. Lillian Campbell of Redding were visitors in Red Bluff last Sunday. Mrs. May Holman of Oakland is visiting here for a few days.

With the announcement of Judge Bordwell threatening to come forth, and that of Thos L. Woodsline already made, it seems as though there will be some fur to fly at the approaching primaries, and then Mr. Henley is also one of em. It is said that the alton, State Treasurer Friend Richardson will not be adverse to taking a book in on the gubernatorial situation, if things shape up to his liking. Or course the jockeying for place in the gubernatorial race will be the headliner, but all along the line for the lesser offices there will be something doing right away. GOVERNOR STEPHENS That Governor Stephens will have a strong support for reelection cag be gleaned from the following excerpts from editorials from the Modesto Herald of the issue of January 20, 1918 "Governor Stephens is a very human man, as all of us who met and heard him agree. The next impression that he is 'safe and sane,' yet ever forward-looking. Again, that he is a man not only of ability, reinforced by experience in public life, but also a man of high patriotic idealism, of the courage to preach and practice them, and as governor to take drastic measures whenever and EAST FIFTY-FIRST STREET EVENING SCHOOL NOTES Chas.

Our articles on land opportunities in this section, from letters we are receiving from all sections of the country have evoked quite an interest, and we verily believe that the people are alige to the issue and will do their utmost along the line of becoming producers. We have received quite a number of letters in the last few days from all over the country asking us about the opportunities for land in California. It would be impossible for us to answer all of these queries and to keep in touch with events in California. We advise you to read this paper. We will keep you posted, in the main.

We have, in Los Angeles, thousands who harp on race loyalty, but harp—just harp—is all they do! This will not advance, for one moment, their race along the lines most needed, and getting down to "brass tacks" it is indeed time that this phase of race advancement in this bailiwick should be given serious consideration. We are calling upon all of our people to give their support to such business concerns as we have, if we expect to demonstrate the fact that we are able to do business. If we expect to do business, we have on Central Ave. a first class shoe shop. They carry good, dependable goods. You can buy here just as good a brand of shoes as you can buy down town for less money. Why not patronize THIS store? Give them the patronage. They will have a bigger store and will carry all lines of goods; they will employ clerks and bookkeepers, and then we can give a practical demonstration of our ability as shoe merchants. You say you are good race med and women! How many of you have purchased your shoes at this store during the past year? Mr. Professional Man, you who should, above all others, take the lead—how many of you have visited this store? And now we are calling attention to the same for the people, to the end that they may realize just how important this matter is, for us to succeed in business. If we then wake up to the real fundamentals of the situation, this store could not help but become one of the leading stores in Los Angeles. Just think what a store it would be with more than 20,000 customers! Get bury! And, remember, it is never too late to do good. COME TO CALIFORNIA-THE WATER IS FINE! The Eagle sees a new day, and for its culmination all roads lend to California, and from this base the transformation from being Consumers and becoming PRODUCERS will take place. Therefore, we are extending the invitation to our people who are ambitious to better their condition, to come to California—not alone for its unmatchable climate, where there is no fuel problem, but for its fertile soil which is also unbeatable; and the great opportunity is now at hand for the citizens of these United States to procure land in this State and receive the benefits of this fertile soil. We have here the mighty San Jauquin Valley. In its domain we have the evidence of the possibilities therein. Those who have assiduously gone forth into this valley and kept to the soil are really producers and therefore a real asset to the community, and are rapidly becoming the farmers de luxe of California. And then we have in California the great and fertile Paula Verda Valley, the great cotton belt, so peculiarly adapted for our farmers from the Southland. Then, the mighty Imperial Valley with its soil, which surpasses the Valley of the Nile in its richness, which produces cotton, corn, cantaloupes, alfalfa, or anything which grows anywhere else, but in quantities so great that one would really have to see to believe. In this great Valley the opportunities for success cannot be over-rated. It is here that the colored man has demonstrated his worth, and we point with pride to R. L. Armatrong, who has been dubbed the "Cotton King" of the Imperial Valley. And numerous others are for going to the front; the opportunity is at hand to till, this And then, 'way beyond this, some of our foremost and forward looking citizens of California, who realize that we must become producers to keep step with the march of progress, have explored the countless acres of land in Lower California and brought to us a message of hope and cheer that. a way has been made for the acquisition of these fertile lands at prices actually within the reach of all, and which land is in a climate even better than that of California itself, and right at our door; just a step, as it were—and, with these great opportunities, is it any wonder why we say that this is the base for the great army of progress and of all who believe as we do, that we must become producers if we expect to become a factor in any country or clime. Therefore, we reiterate our invitation to those who want real progress, to COME ON TO CALIFORNIA. THE WATER IS FINE! atts will be the preacher of the the C. M.

There she has studied the problem of converting the foreigner, with his different language, customs, traditions, ideals, standard of living from an old social order into an American citizen devoted to the ideals and great habits of principles for which this nation stands. Seeing clearly the part which the schools must play in this tremendous work, Miss Banglman devotes much of her time preparing teachers to give efficient help in the solution of this problem. In this field she is accomplishing remarkable results and rendering her nation a magnificent service. We were glad to have these people with us and to note that they were impressed with the earnestness of the people as well as the gradual growth of our school. We are anxious to make this school the model evening school of the city in the point of earnestness, attendance, system, quality of work done and influence upon the people of the neighborhood. Mr Dave Thomas, desiring to take city examination for unskilled labor, enrolled in evening school to refresh himself in arithmetic, writing, etc. Mr Thomas has an am and he is starting in the right way to accomplish it. We wish we could get some more of these young people to look at things as he does. The shorthorn class is doing excellent work. Another beginner's class will start next week. If anyone wishes to learn shorthorn, this is your opportunity. A TRULY PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES TO THE GREAT BEYOND Friday night, one week ago, the grim reaper death knocked at the door of Mrs. John Sellers and bade her enter the portals of glory. Saturday morning when the news fashed over the city, stating that Mrs. Sellers had passed, her host of friends and relatives were grief stricken and Tuesday afternoon the great Auditrium of Wesley Chapel was brim full of sorrowing relatives and friends. The many orders of which Mrs. Sellers was a member came out in regalia, and in either song or verse paid tribute to the memory of one who had loved and labored in their midst. The ministers present were Drs. Prowd, Gordon, Anderson, Robinson and Shaw. Dr. Shaw delivered the death enology which was a splendid exhortion on Paul's Epistle to the Romans found in Romans 8th chapter. Dr Shaw called attention to the fact that Mrs. Selers was an humble citizen, neither a society belle nor a holder of a high position in civic life and yet she had made such an impression upon the people that they came out in great crowds to pay farewell tribute. The service was in keeping with the simple life of one who was a component part of the masses of the people. Indeed, loved by all.

Let us serve God and faint not; be not discouraged, whether men hear, or whether they speak ill of us; let us remember that our report at the end of the trial is to be rendered to the Lord Himself, when He is making up His jewels.

Among the interesting things scheduled will be the burning of the Douglass mortgage, the announcement of the oRill of Honor and the winner of the Special Tablet; also the election of the Board of Trustees to manage the Douglass Home, which will pass to the entire control and management of the National Association of Colored Women. The American colored women should be aroused as never before, to greater activity. New duties will be placed upon our women through the Amendment to the Constitution, which will doubtles become a law at the coming session of Congress. At the smallest calculation, three million colored women will receive the ballot, which is the greatest power that has been given us since the emancipation, to correct some of the soils that have crushed us. Government ownership of railroads will wipe out the notorious, offensive, undemocratic Jim Crow cars, into which we have been herded during the past twenty years, regardless of rights of American citizens.
