Cleghorn, Episcopal Church M. B. THE MAN WHO DELIVERS THE GOODS IS FRANK R. WATSON, SR. Candidate for Trustee of the City of Venice The above is an excellent likeness of Frank R. Watson, Sr., who is a leading contender for the office of trustee of the city of Venice. Mr. Watson is a frank, outspoken, plain, every-day man who is a pioneer citizen of Venice, having lived here for nineteen years, and established the Watson Transfer Company, started with one horse. He now runs six auto trucks between Venice and Los Angeles, making from three to six trips a day, handling hundreds of tons of merchandise, knocking Venice as he does, and feeling that he can be of real service to the people, he has for the first time entered the political arena and he is receiving strong support from all classes. He is running as an independent candidate, and if elected will be free to serve the people. Mr. Watson, without hesitation, took the opportunity of placing his candidacy before the colored voters in their own organ, the "Soaring Eagle." He has in many ways shown his friendship for the colored people and in giving him their support we verily believe they will be supporting a real friend. So on next, Monday, April 8, do not forget the man who delivers—Frank R. Watson. ALBERT E. COLES FOR TRUSTEE OF VENICE Mr. A. E. Coles, known in Venice as "Doc Coles, is a strong contender for one of the trustees of that city, and he wants the colored voters to know that he will appreciate their support to the utmost. To the Eagle man he sizes up as a man worthy of their support and if elected no doubt will be a servant of the people and every one will receive at his hands the consideration in which they merit, without regard to race, color or creed. He has lived in Venice for a decade and as managers of the Venice Drug Company has made an enviable reputation in business circles. Mr. Coles is well versed in the progress of the colored people, hails from Nashville, personally acquainted with San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 6, 1918 many, of our foremost citizens and recites the same with pride. Therefore, this people and Mr. Coles may always be on the best terms and he no doubt will receive a strong support at their hands. C. W. HOLBROOK FOR CITY TRUSTEE OF VENICE Well and favorable known is C. W. Holbrook, candidate for trustee, having lived here for fourteen years, ten years in active business, served as mayor from 1910 to 1914, which time was marked by great prosperity for the city. Mr. Holbrook is running independent and stands for a square deal for all. He is receiving a strong support from all classes. THOMAS WILDE FOR CITY CLERK OF VENICE Election Monday, April 8 Thomas Wilde is serving with sig- nal ability the office of city clerk of Venice and having served with iden- tity, he aspires for re-election as an independent candidate. He has lived in Venice for the past twelve years and has made good in every avenue of endeavor, is running strictly on his morts and stands for a square deal for every citizen, and is pleased to an- nounce his candidacy to the colored voters through their own journal RUTHERFORD B. HARRIS FOR TRUSTEE OF VENICE R. B. Harris, who is at present a trustee of Venice and ex-officio mayor, is the recipient of a strong support at the hands of the people of this city who appreciate real worth and service. Mr. Harris is vice-president and cashier of the First National Bank of Ocean Park, a pioneer resident of the Tokyo district of Venice with a fish and varied experience in banking. His appointment to the Board of Trustees was a popular one and one which has meant so much to the city. Mr. Harris stands for efficiency and economical administration, a square deal for all and upon his record as a citizen and official seeks the suffrage of the people for re-election, and is pleased to present his candidacy to the colored voters through their very own journal, The Soaring Eagle. WM. G. LUTZ FOR TRUSTEE OF VENICE No man has with greater fidelity cared for the interest of the people than William G. Lutz, at present one of the trustees' of Venice, as well as one of the leading business men. In this position he has made an enviable record and the people of all classes appreciating his service, will give to him a hearty support at the polls on next Monday. The colored citizens of Venice will do well to support such a high class official as Mr. Lutz. With such men at the helm in their government, all the people will ever be assured of a fair and square deal and a united support is urged for Mr. Lutz. FOR TRUSTEE OF VENICE Edward S. Hill Edward S. Hill has served as trustee of the city of Venice since December 3, 1917, and now comes before the people for their suffrage for that position. His service has been such that a large clientage appreciate the same to the extent that he is receiving a strong support from all classes and on next Monday will do their utmost for his success. MONSTER MEETING, AUSPICES LOWER CALIFORNIA DEVEL OPMENT COMPANY, WONDERFUL SUCCESS A crowd of anxious and earnest citizens gathered at Wesley Chapel last Wednesday evening to see the demonstration of Lower California lands, and to witness the stereocicon views of the same personally conducted by Messrs. Tray and Macbeth, who have only recently returned from there and could give the people the information they so eagerly sought. At the conclusion of the lecture and picture which had vividly shown the rare opportunities of this fertile land, when asked for an expression by those present the vast assemblage arose as one man, thus giving their approval to the proposition of the people acquiring this land in large numbers, thereby becoming real producers instead of mere consumers. It was announced that plans had been perfected and arrangements can now be made for the purchase of this land at the office of the company, which is located at 1121 Los Angeles street. A steady drive will now be made for the next 90 days in which the company will dispose of this 21- 000 acres of the most fertile land at $20 per acre, all of which is tillable soil. The same land in this section would cost from $300 to $500 per acre. This land is only 181 miles from Los Angeles. This effort is only a start, as soo nas this is taken up there will be other lands adjoining these and bangalore of our people there are known to our soil, become independent and be great factors in producing a food supply for the world. MOUSER FOR SENATOR Assemblyman Three Timee—Has a Fire Record. Frank H. Mouser, candidate for State Senator from the 29th District at the primary election in August, and the present Assemblyman from the 74th District, was born at Sullivan, Moulture County, Illinois, October 11, 1876, and moved to San Diego, Cal., November 5, 1886; was educated in the public schools of San Diego, and in the Thirty-fifth session of the Legislature was clerk of the Public Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Assembly; was stenographer for the Assembly in the Thirty-sixth session, and it was during his incumbency of these latter positions that he became a close student of legislative procedure. This experience was to stand him well in hand when he was elected in 1912 to represent the 74th Assembly District in the Fortieth session of the Legislature. In that session he became noted as a painstaking legislator devoted to Governor Johnson's policies of humane legislation, and a fearless and uncompromising advocate of justice for the working class. It is not surprising then when, in 1914, he stood for re-election he received the Republican, Democratic and Progressive nominations as a man representative of all the people all the time, rather than a mere party nominee. He went before the voters of his district the recognized champion of Labor, and he was returned to the Forty-first Legislature by a handsome majority vote. It was in this session of the Legislature he achieved his greatest prominence as, a far-seeing, capable, and patriotic legislator. Two bills, whose objects and purposes are in marked contrast, the Motor Vehicle act and the Semi-Monthly Payday law, being that the former law is a matter of just and equitable revenue for the State and counties, and the latter humane legislation in behalf of the wage-earner, were introduced by him. Both of these measures have become prominent corner stones in the progressive legislation which has placed the State of California in the foremost rank of the Nation. In 1916, Mr. Mouser again stood for re-election and received the Republican, Democratic, and Progressive nominations, which is commonly regarded as a non-partisan nomination, as such nominations are equivalent to election. He was elected by a handsome majority vote to the Forty-second session of the Legislature. In the Forty-second session Mr. Mouser served as Chairman of the Committee on Public Charities and Corrections; Chairman of the Committee in the Introduction of Bills, and member of the following important committees: Labor and Capital, Revenue and Taxation, Constitutional Amendments, Fish and Game, and Public Utilities, all positions requiring the most painstaking care, ripe experience, and fine judgment. Mr. Mouser is a candidate for the State Senate for the Forty-third session of the Legislature. Should he be nominated and elected to this session his record will no doubt be in keeping with the magnificent record he made in the three preceding Legislatures, and not only will the people of the Twenty-ninth Senatorial District be ably represented, but the people of the whole State will profit by his election. MAYOR A. C. OULLLAHAN OF STOCKTON BARS THE CLANSMAN Stockton has for its chief executive a man who stands up at all times for the people, and no matter who they are in his bailiwick they will receive at his hands a square deal.

The contest will on next Monday be decided by the election of three trustees. There are three tickets in the field viz. the citizens, taxpayers, and the people's ticket Jack Lang, present mayor of the city, is sponsor for the citizens' ticket. Now be it known that Lang is a man who stands for all men up and no man down and the very fact that he champions the citizens' ticket means that the plain, common, every day citizen will always have a show for his white ally. Mr. and Mrs. Homer Dean and Chevrolet car are en route to Santa pear at the Yosemite theater in Stockton tomorrow night. "The announcement was made late this afternoon. After listening to the protests of members of the colored race, Mayor A. C. Oullahan took the matter up with Manager E. G. Vollman of the Yosemite theater yesterday. "The theater management had already gone to considerable expense to advertise the appearance of the picture. Manager Vollman stated to the mayor that if he could be assured that the theater would be saved the advertising expense it had gone to, he would cancel the date. The mayor gave his personal assurance that the expense would me met. Thereupon the show was called off. "Explaining his stand, the mayor said this afternoon: 'The Clansman has been presented to Stockton audiences several times, and there are some who think that it is making a tempest in a teapot to stir up a fuss it over it now. I stand on the proposition that since the matter is put up to us squarely, we should respect the feelings and the sensibilities of the colored people who live in our midst. they have a right to demand protection from what they deem to be public humiliation, and we are reentrant to every principle if we look lightly on their protest. Twelve of their boys are of Stockton to fight under the colors. We sent them out with cheers and a brass band. "What a fine show of hypocrisy that must have been on our part if we are not willing to show consideration for their race when we are put to the test. We can get along without 'The Clansman,' and prove to the colored people that we are not forgetful of the part they are doing to help win the war." This was the result of the untiring work of the colored citizens headed by Rev. E. Dandridge, Mrs. Edna Freeman, J. H. Burrows and Rev. J. M. Riddle.

The property is located in the beautiful East Adams St. No. 1518. Where else could you buy a place like this completely furnished? Where could you pay less down than the cost of the piano alone?

Bdwy. 1498 1103½ Central Ave. ORDER OF IMMACULATES AN- NUAL SERMON The rapid rise of the Order of Immaculates was self evident, from the magnificent showing which they made on the occasion of their annual sermon at the Mt. Zion Baptist church on last Sunday afternoon, a most splendid body of women and men were beautifully gowned in immaculate white, while the officers appeared, in gorgeous raiment of their various stations Rev. A. P. Shaw preached the sermon, Mrs. E. C. Nelson sang, Dr. R. N. Arthurthun gave an address and splendid selections by the Mt. Zion choir. Rev. Shaw was assisted by the pastor, J. A. Fleming. Great credit is due this splendid organization for its work and unstinted praise is due Mrs. Venita Clalborne, the state deputy, for her untiring efforts to place this organization on the high plane where it stands. A. Reeze, brother of our well known J. Allen Reeze, has been appointed on the election board for Monday's election at Venice. This is the first instance in which this recognition has been given and Mr. Reeze will without doubt make good, as he is one of our most progressive young men. ```markdown ``` What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian Sts. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor Easter was a high day at Wesley. The Sunrise prayer meeting was well attended and a spiritual feast, the pastor's Easter sermon on "The Deeper Significance of Easter," was very effective. Five persons united with the church. One came forward for prayers. The annual exercises at 8 p.m. were extraordinary. Fully 150 children took some part in the exercises. There were "fifty tots in the Beginners" Class alone. Children, some of them hardy three years old, recited their Easter pieces like grown-ups. Too much credit cannot be given Superintendent Greene and his painstaking corps of teachers, who excelled themselves in these, perhaps the best exercises ever held at Wesley. This Sunday closes our State Rally. All persons desiring to make their state make a good showing in the reports will pay in this Sunday. 11 a.m.—Communion Sermon and Communion. 7:45 p.m.—Sermon by the pastor followed by Communion service.

Price, Pastor The members and friends of this church were very highly elated over the services on Easter Sunday; the worshippers began to arrive shortly after the doors were opened at five o'clock am; and it was indeed a great early morning service. The people continued to cripple themselves throughout the day; the program by the young people at 3 pm, was as fine as ever witnessed here. The congregation was much pleased with the neatness of the church. Friends had tinted the walls, aisle strips had been laid, the chairs had been re-varnished, and as a whole the church was made to look very neat. The people everywhere are very anxiously anticipating the opening of the women's conference here on Friday, April 5th, under the management of Mrs. M. G. Banks, assisted by some of the most talented women in end of the city. The death of Kowland McKinion Sunday night has proved a great shock to all.

Logan Craw, Pastor Easter day services were the most magnificent last Sunday of all during the three years' administration of the preset pastorate. The church never before presented such a beautiful and inspiring appearance. Three thronging congregations enjoyed the days' worship. The pastor preached and there were five accessions to the church membership. The Sunday school pupils were superb in their afternoon program. The choir in its Resurrection program at night thrilled the packed house with tranquil delight. The offering was very good. Thanks be to God for His unusablegift to us. The public is always welcome to worship here. ```markdown ``` Third quarterly meeting day with Presiding Elder, Rev. J. H. Wilson in charge will be regularly observed this first Sunday in April.

Motin SECOND BAPSTIST CHURCH MAPLE AVE. The church was made beautiful by the committee on decoration. Birds, flowers and bunting all were in keeping with the day of rejoicing Dr. Prowd's sermon on the "Resurrection" was well received by the great audience. In the evening the Sunday school had a most delightful program. The edifice was again filled and the new features, introduced by the superintendent and his assistant, were indeed instructive and timely. The choir followed with masterful renditions showing the great preparation made for Easter. Pastor Prowd will occupy his pulpit all day on Sunday and will have a very intering announcement for all the members and friends of the Second church. The time has arrived for just such an utterance and every member is urged to be present to hear it. The Lord's Supper will be observed at night. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH 34th St. and Central Ave. E. E. Lightner, Pastor Three splendid services were recorded as the result of the activities at this church on Easter Sunday. The church was beautifully decorated with palms, ferns, Easter lilies, and a variety of other flowers which presented a scene pleasant to look upon. Following a splendid session in the Sunday school the pastor brought the Easter message on. The Risen King" At 3 p.m. Dr. H. D. Proud of the Second Bethel church brought us a masterful message taking as his text, "Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruit of them that slept." At the evening service every seat was taken when the children of the Sunday school rendered an excellent program, consisting of exercises, recitations, declarations and musical numbers, vocal and instrumental. A rare treat to all present. The clubs appointed in the special effort made a splendid showing considering the short time in which they had to work. This effort will be tucked through the second Sunday in April when a final report will be made. This Sunday there will be the regular communion services morning and evening. The pastor who is spending the week at Catalina' island will return in time for these services. You are urged to be present. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Corner 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs, D.D., Pastor The magnificent Easter celebrations held at this church on last Sunday were witnessed by three large congregations. The beautiful auditorium of the church was transformed into a great flower garden, with flowers, lilies and greenery decorating the altar from one side to the other, while the gallery and borders were covered in green and over the rostrum, from one side of the church to the other lung huge baskets of flowers, while in the center swung two open gates with an illuminated cross just beyond. Large pictures of the risen Saviour adorned the walls, and twittering birds were located in every section of the spacious auditorium. Much credit is due Mr. Geo Johnson, under whose direction this wonderful decoration was accomplished. At the morning hour pastor Gregas in his Easter sermon, drew many practical and logical points from the dear old story of the Resurrected Christ. Baptismal service for seven infants marked the close of the morning session. In the afternoon the Sunday school children rendered an excellent program which reflected much credit upon the school and upon Mrs. Gregas who held charge of their training. In this evening an audience that taxed the capacity of the house, was captured by the excellent sacred concert rendered by the choir. Too much praise cannot be given Prof Thomas Johnson and the choir for their wonderful work. The Fisk Jubilee Singers will appear in concert, extraordinary, at this church, April 17th, despite their unfortunate loss. Another singer has been secured to till the vacancy. PHILLIP'S CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor The services at this church were of a very high order. The day morning was state right with the Day morning prayer prayer. The Sunday school held a lively and profitable session at 9:30 and the pastor preached the Easter sermon on "The Resurrection" The children of the Sunday school delighted the people at 3 p.m with their program. The justly famous choir of this church with Prof. R. M. Mitchell directing and Mrs. Estelle Roberts Saunders at the organ held forth at the evening hour. They rendered the cantata, "The Story of Calvary," to a crowded house. There were two accessions to the membership during the day. A number of requests have been made that the choir repeat the cantata and it is quite likely they will do so soon. Watch for announcements. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST Elder Wm. A. Washington The Easter services at Bethel were splendid. The program by the children was up to the standard. Rev Washington preached two forceful and impressive sermons. Strangers and visitors to this city should not miss the opportunity of visiting this beautiful little church and hearing this preacher. Good preaching. Good singing and a cordial hand shake for all. CHRIST TABERNACLE "The Three Crosses," will be the subject of Dr. Jones' sermon at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The services last Sunday were well attended and very instructive.

The Holy Ghost was present in mighty power, beginning at the sunrise prayer meeting, which was largely attended. God showered many blessings down at this service. At 11 a.m. our pastor, Rev. J. D. Gordon, assented the ros- trum and reading the 28th chapter of Matthew, and taking the 6th verse of the same book for his subject ("He is not here, for He is risen, as He said, come see the place where the Lord lay") preached a practical sermon which was enjoyed by all. The evening service was conducted by the Sunday School. The church was beautifully decorated. The program, a wonderful one, was up to the usual standard, the children are making progress at this age. Next Sunday, April 7, 1918, at the morning service, covenant meeting will be in progress and at the evening service Dr. Gordon will speak and the Lord's Supper will be celebrated. The public is invited to be present. CLASSIFIED. ADVERT This Column for The Household of Rut G. U. O. of O. F., meets o and Third Thursday aftern month, at Odd Fellows' l and Wall Sts. MRS. M. R. JOHNSON, 1153 E. 11th St. MRS. M. D. BATSON HINTS OF THE SAINTS' HOME CHURCH Los Angeles, April 2, 1918. To the California Eagle: Easter day at the Saints' Home Church of the Church of God in Christ was a day of days to me, and I guess to all who were present during the entire day. I was for the first time in their Sunday school. I did not take part in the lesson, being my first visit, but sat and looked on and listened. I must say that I never saw such interest in a revival way as I saw there. Every class and every department of the school was evangelistic. Dr. Driver came in time to get an egg, as one of the pupils were handing them out. The Doctor went to his pulpit filled with the spirit of his work, as well as filled with the Holy Spirit, and made a few brief remarks and then turned to the meeting to a testifying meeting for his associate ministers, who each spoke on the resurrection of Jesus. After they spoke, Dr. Driver delivered one of the most masterly sermons on the occasion I ever listened to. He took for his subject, "The Need of a Resurrection." The people all seemed so interested in the services. No one seemed to pay any attention to dress or anything else but the services. My, my, it was grand, and so different to what I am used to on Easter. In the afternoon you should have been there to see and hear those little tots in songs, in verses and imitations. It was simply fine, and to see so many little ones—white, colored, Mexicans, and one, I think, was a Japanese. Then came the evening program, Mr. Erick E. Driver, the son of Dr. Driver, delivered the opening address, subject, "Who We Have Come to Honor." Let me say that I have never seen so great a talent in a young man before. Think, nothing but a boy. He followed his subject from beginning to end with emphasis and with feeling, at times we felt like crying and again our spirits were raised to joy. It was simply one. The music was superlime. Then came Miss Anna Marshall, who spoke as I have never heard and she was the composer of her piece. Then a Miss Berry, who played the very act of Mary and the Apostles, at the supper to the satisfaction of all who heard her. Space will not allow me to speak of all; therefore, I will close by saying may Dr. Driver live long to lead his people. I am writing this by Dr. Driver's permission.

And now, after all, it is possible that our forces will get together for real progress and quit backbiting and damning each other. It's good news if true. Let's hope. The fact that the Colored brother does not score at the political pie counter in this state any more may have a tendency to awaken him to the exigencies of the occasion and cause him to come forth and ask the reason why. They say the world's war has put a damper on things political and that in many instances contests will go by default, but to our mind this is the very time when the various aspirants for political preferment should be scrutinized to the highest degree. In this time of stress, in all public offices we want men on guard who possess the highest possible integrity and ability. With the conclusion of the Lenten Season Easter comes forth in all its brightness, notwithstanding the great stress which prevails, owing to the world war, and while conservation rules, nevertheless fashion comes forth with all its radiance as ever, and the remembrance of the ascending of our Savior from the tomb is realistically borne out to the utmost, with a new day and a sacredness which attests that the Christian Spirit will ever live. ARE YOU ON THE ROLL? The roll call still proceeds as to our leaders and their attitude toward the support of their very own business enterprises, and before the result is announced there is yet time to answer "Yes!" on this roll call. It is permissible, you know, to change your vote before the result is announced. We are sure that unless you get in line this roll call will show up some of our leaders as not practising what they preach. So keep a sharp eye when the result of our roll call is announced. A NEW DAY The drive which will be launched on next Wednesday evening at Wesley Chapel, for the purpose of procuring the rich and fertile farming lands of Lower California for the Colored people of these United States, is the dawning of a new day for the people, and we cannot but appreciate the efforts of our good citizens who have brought to us this opportunity, for we verily believe that it is the dawn of a new day for a people who, by taking advantage of the opportunity offered, will begin to become real factors in the world's progress. The fleeting opportunities for procuring lands in the Imperial Valley and other valleys, on account of the rapid raising of values, makes it imperative, if we get a foothold on any soil worth while at all. It is time to get it while the getting is good. The lands of Lower California are now the mecca; it is there that mother earth yields in abundance to the touch of its soil and an unexcelled climate, makes it possible to get a maximum amount of produce from this soil. So, therefore, we cannot afford to let this, the last opportunity, go by without joining the mighty caravan, which no doubt will go forth to this soil. And making good here in this rich peninsula of Lower California there is no good reason why millions of this people should not go there and precede the European peasants who will head that way at the conclusion of the war; and even though the war should last indefinitely, here much can be done to produce food for a famished world. Therefore, we advise our people to gird on their armor of progress, go forth with this column of warriors for production, and win a mighty victory, which will solve the problem and set in motion the machinery which will mean the deliverance of the Negro from the ranks of mere consumers, and will make him indeed a factor in the commercial walks of life. There is no time to cavil with the pseudo leaders, or the elements which neither sow nor reap, but the people, the bone and sinew of the Race, will be on their way attending to real business, for the things which spell progress. ern California for the week, during which time he attended to official business and visited nearby towns.

Ridgeway is accepted freely among the best members of the white race, mainly on personality plus efficiency — in fact, more so than among his own race, and he represents the identity of his race. PAGE FOUR ADVERTISING RATES, 50¢ per inch EASTER POLITICAL POT PIE The county central committee met Tuesday evening, heard reports, listened to the hopes of some of the candidates, also a lay lecture from Dr. A. D. Houghton, who advised that they adjourn for a year, or until the conclusion of the waf. This advise, however, fell on deaf ears. Instead, they adjourned to meet two weeks hence. Billy Vacher was present at the meeting of the county committee, but failed to come forth on a call for candidates. Willie Wilson, who ran for the Assembly four years ago and as a member of the county committee fails to answer roll call thus far. Senator Rominger, made famous by the liquor bill that bears his name, is an avowed candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Hon] J. O. Hayes, of San Jose, a candidate for Governor, is in the city this week looking after his political fences. F. H. Mouser is making hay for his Senatorial race while the making is good. Wm. Greenwood, it is said, will soon announce his candidacy for Assemblyman from the 74th District. Governor Stephens arrived in the city Wednesday, remaining in South- THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE DR. REVERDY C. RANSOM, THE MATCHLESS ORATOR Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, the matchless orator of New York, will visit Los Angeles early next month. He will come to speak for the Young Men's Christian Association in Los Angeles and for the American Red Cross in Pasadena. He will also speak in Santa Barbara, Oakland, and Sacramento. His first appearance will be at Trinity Auditorium, Monday evening, April 8, when he will deliver his great oration on the subject: "A Challenge to the American Knight-Errant of World Democracy," for the benefit of the Young Men's Christian Association. In New York City and throughout the New England States, Dr. Ransom is regarded as the most brilliant, eloquent, and forceful orator of the Colored race. His William Lloyd Garrison address, delivered in the historic Fanueil Hall, in Boston, a few years ago, when the most distinguished people of the state crowded the building, made him famous. He thrilled that audience as no orator had done before since the days of Charles Sumner. By invitation of Dr. Hillis, of the Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn, N. Y., (Henry Ward Beecher's great church) Dr. Ransom made an address that created the most profound impression. For two years he was the chief attraction of the Chicago Lyceum Bureau and spoke in colleges, universities and for Chautauquas throughout the Middle West. Everywhere he was received with enthusiasm. During the campaign of 1912 Dr. Ransom accompanied Theodore Roosevelt on his speaking tour and shared honors with him. Dr. Ransom is a man of pleasing personality and his voice rings as clear as a bell. He is a master of the English language, and his oration in Trinity Auditorium will create tremendous interest in the question of democracy in America. No one should fail to hear him, as in this time, when the future destiny of a people is in the balance, his burning message will no doubt be an inspiration which will enable the people to face the future with a new courage and a greater ambition for the changes that are to come. His coming is indeed a rare treat and the people on the Pacific Coast will no doubt show their appreciation by giving him a rousing reception.

Other buildings will follow from time to time until the whole lot is covered. Those who wish to subscribe for a bond should see Sidney P. Dones, 11032; Central Ave. Bdwy, 1498 TRAGIC DEATH OF PROMI- NENT CITIZENS The tragic death of Mrs. E. Elbert, well known citizen, and Miss H. M. Lowe, soprano singer of the Fiske Jubilee Singers, who lived at Nashville, on last Wednesday night cast a gloom throughout the city. They were the victims of ptomaine poison, having eaten canned goods of Sunday evening. Not realizing the seriousness of their illness, it is thought they neglected to call in a physician. Twenty-four hours after, Dr. Taylor was called and Dr. W. C. Gordon, Dr. E. C. Nelson, Dr. R. N. Arthurton and Dr. Hodson. They worked and used all the resources of medical science, but the deadly poison had done its work, and Wednesday night both Mrs. Elbert and Miss Lowe expired. Very strangely Mr. Myers, who is manager of the Fiske Jubilee Singers and his wife partook of this same meal but escaped the fate of the others. Mrs. Cooper, the mother of Mrs. Elbert, had a close call but at this writing indications are she will recover. JOSEPH ANDERSON, WELL KNOWN ENTERTAINER, PASSES OUT Joe Anderson, one of the best known musicians and entertainers in the entire west, died at the county hospital on last Monday after an illness lasting some weeks. He had been a resident of this city for the past four years. He was very popular with all who knew him and withal a thorough gentleman. Joe Anderson was born in Leavenworth, Kans., about 43 years ago. He traveled and worked at his profession throughout the western country and Mexico. Hale and well met, he was a terror to the pessimist. The funeral was conducted from the chapel of Roberts' undertaking parors, Friday, at 1 p.m. The high esteem in which he was held by his acquaintances and friends was evident from the many beautiful floral offerings and the turnout to the last sad rites. The Los Angeles entertainers contributed a most striking floral piece emblematic of his profession: a beautiful musical program. R lessons on the typewriter.—J. D. G.

We will be more than surprised if AT THE FORUM LAST SUNDAY Although no set program was announced, the Forum was the scene of a full house on last Sunday, and it proved an interesting day indeed. Hugh Gordon, the walking encyclopedia, started the fireworks and furnished the fuel which ran the machinery for the day. J. W. Coleman edged in and as ever had his say and amused the crowd greatly. Gordon wanted the Forum to demand that Emmet Scott should resign his position unless better treatment was accorded the colored soldiers, but no one agreed with him, and they compromised by dropping him a jetter on the subject. Messrs. Troy and Macbeth announced that the bid drive for Lower California land would open up at Wesley chapel Wednesday night next Next Sunday will be another open day and no doubt will be an interesting session. A BRILLIANT RECEPTION First Wedding Anniversary of Mrs. and Mrs. Edward Johnson. The good ship "Connubial Bliss," carrying as charter party Mr. and Mrs. Edward Johnson, of 1337 Newton Street, Los Angeles, dropped anchor in the home port. Friday evening, March 16, after a voyage of one year on the placid sea of matrimony. Shore leave was immediately taken by this popular couple in order to receive the felicitations of a host of Los Angeles friends, the occasion being a brilliant reception, celebrating the first wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Edwards, on Newton Street, was prepared for the occasion, the parlors being transformed into a veritable garden of palms and roses. This elaborate floral decoration was the artistic work of Mr. Leon Loeb, assisted by several friends and co-workers of Mr. Johnson in the Southern Pacific service, so that when the 50 or more guests had arrived between the hours of 8 and 11, there was presented one of the most beautiful and delightful social functions of the season. The ceremonials were beautifully impressive and reflected largely the marriage event, which occurred just one year previous in the city of New Orleans. Mrs. Johnson, attended by maids and matrons of honor, entered the parlor marching to the music of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, with the same solemn grace with which she approached the bridal altar just a year before. Mr. Johnson, the groom of a year before, had not forgotten his role either, he, entering the parlor from an opposite direction, attended by his "best man." Mr. Wilbur Randolph, of Pasadena, and Mr. Granville Surrey, of Eagle Lake, Texas, and meeting his bride in the center of the room beneath a canopy of ferns and flowers. The Rev. B. C. Rebeson, pastor of the First A. M. E. Zion Church, officiated on this occasion with the same dignity of manner and eloquence of expression for which he is noted. This part of the ceremony over, the bridal party left the presence of the minister, stepping to the music o. the Lobengrin wedding march. Miss Hazel Gottschalk, with particular inspiration, it seemed, rendered the wedding marches on the piano. In the musical program of the evening Mrs. Emma Smith sang rapturously "A Perfect Day." The ladies attending Mrs. Johnson in the ceremonials were Miss Emma Harvey, one of the most popular young ladies of her set, and Mrs. Lorena Prescott, a charming young matron of New Orleans. The gowns worn by the ladies of the bridal party were marvels of beauty, each presenting a distinctive type of modishness that reflected in a particular way the personal grace and charms of the wearer. Mrs Johnson wore a peach pink silk, trimmed with silver lace, and a rich string of pearls, the gift of her husband. She carried a cluster of American bride's roses, tied with French ribbon of rare design. Miss Emma Harvey wore a gown of pink silk chiffon, trimmed with silver lace, and jewels. Mrs. Prescott wore a yellow silk chiffon, trimmed with silver, and jewels. Miss Hazel Gottschalk was attired in a blue silk, self trimmed, and jewels. These gowns, of course, were all of decollete pattern. In the receiving线 were Mesdames J. M. Edwards, M. L. Gottschalk, and Calvin Brown. Fair representatives of the Friday Morning Club, of which Mrs. Johnson is a member, looked after the dining room and made it ap lace of special delight. Tokens are not generally emphasized on occasions of the first wedding anniversary, and the large number of tokens received by Mr. and Mrs. Johnson on this occasion is but a further evidence of their great popularity among their social friends. The Friday Morning Club sent a set of silver salad forks, while several other gifts of value were received from individual friends. The Johnson reception will long be remembered as an occasion grand and delightful. This extremely fortunate couple are sailing happily over the sea of life, and their next port of call will be at Pier 2, a voyage of twelve months down on the enchanted coast of the wedded union. A host of friends are saying to them, 'Bon voyage.' MAKE YOUR CASH SURPLUS PROFITABL.

The social was a grand success, the proceeds to go towards painting the church. The neat sum of $10.15 was realized. Raymond Griffin is somewhat indisposed this week. A farmer had a horse he was anxious to sell, and one day while driving with one of his neighbors the horse stopped so frequently as to lead the neighbor to ask: "What ails your horse that he stops so often? Is he balky?" "No," replied the farmer, "he's all right. It's simply he's so afraid somebody will say 'Whoa,' and the won't hear it, that he stops to listen." Mr. Lucas of Calexico is in San Diego for a few days. When a man has not a good reason for doing a thing, he has one reason for letting it alone. Rev. E. C. Dyer, pastor of the Christian church of Calexico, is on his vacation, which his good church gave him for thirty days. Rev. Dyer spent the most of his time in Los Angeles and Pasadena; he also stopped with Mr. Burgess at Elsimore Hot Springs for four or five days and enjoyed immensely the hot baths, home cooked food, and the healthful surroundings. Not forgetting dear old San Diego and the many friends made while here, he made him final windup in San Diego. Rev. Dyer was once superintendent of the Mt. Zion Sunday school, and he was indeed a noble morning leader. He left Friday morning for Calexico, where he will resume his church duties, and attend the Easter exercises. Mrs. E. Shepherd and Mrs. Rutledge left San Diego Friday morning for Los Angeles, where they will spend their Easter holiday. They will visit Pasadena and all of the Beaches. Mrs. H. B. Saunders, the Grand Worthy Matron of the Q. E. S. California jurisdiction, leaves Monday on her official visit to chapters of the southern part of the state.

Club will give an Easter cap and tie social on Tuesday evening, April 2, at the home of Mrs. V. L. Goodwin, 3050 Martin avenue, for the benefit of the Carpet Club, which is composed of the elderly ladies of the church. Some may ask why is this club not giving something for themselves, but just remember it is the N. B. B. O. O—No Body's Business But Our Own. So come out and enjoy one round of pleasure Don't forget the date April 2 DUTCH LUNCH On Monday evening, March 25, Mrs Walter McDonald, of 1659 Logan avenue, entertained the 4C's Whist Club at game with an old fashioned Dutch lunch. The game was called at the usual hour with all the members present. Many pinch hits were made during the evening, and one of those things they call a "position" was handed Walter and his partner by Mrs Reeves and Anderson. "It's all right with me," said Walter, "but I know I'll have no end of trouble from here on." And when she said, "You will now be served a Dutch lunch," everybody scrambled for their gas masks, thinking hostilities had set it, but, say, boy! those German submarines of the frankfurter type were all sent to the bottom, the aim was so accurate, and Walter, after bringing in the last supply and woofly gazing on all those empty plates, feebly said to himself, "They never missed a shot, and as the guests were taking their departure, he stepped to his Victrola and placed thereon that record entitled, "I Don't Care If You Never Come Back," and as we rounded the corner, it was still playing. I ought not to pronounce judgment on a fellow creature until I know all that enters into his life, until I can measure all the forces of temptation and resistance; until I can give full weight to all the facts in the case. In other words, I am never in a position to judge another. Mr. C. A. Heathl has resigned the office of chorister of the First Street Baptist Church, and is now engaged to sing for the Congregational Church ...white.

The main feature of the evening was the introduction of the Bostonian dance by Mr. Dan Badgett and Miss Exonia Mulholland. Miss Bertha Junkins is in our city from Iowa for an indefinite stay. "Drop the subject when you cannot agree; there is no need to be bitter because you know you are right." The Rope Holders' Club met at Mrs. Vera Simpson's, Tuesday, March 27.

The Bethel Red Cross was organized December 17, with Mrs. Ida Henderson president and twenty members. Since that time the society has increased to forty members. Meetings are held every Wednesday and Saturday afternoons at the Bethel A.M. E. Church, in the basement. They have made bandages of various knifes, single and double; made scarfs, wash cloths, helmets, and sweaters, in fact the society is doing everything they can to help in this great war. Mrs. Knupe of Loma Portal donated a valuable picture to the society, for which tickets are being sold, and the picture will be raffled off, and the proceeds will go towards purchasing more yarn. Refreshments will also be served at the entertainment. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church gave a rally Sunday for the electric lights and raised the sum of $4870, which was $870 more than the amount asked for, and sufficient to make the payments. Mr M T Laws has purchased the stand of Mr Earnest Brown on Lower Broadway. Mr Laws will leave for Los Angeles on important business. Never bear more than one kind of bear at a time. Some people bear three—all they have had, all they have and all they expect to have. EL CENTRO NEWS Services were good and well attended at the A. M. E.

A place that is ever full of memories that are sweet and associations hallowed beyond description. As we wander past the marble statutes and recall sadly the memories of the dear ones that are gone, we long for the day when the steel bound gates of the inexorable past will be unlocked and once again we shall totally embrace those for whom we have wept. But the grave I ask you to visit is unlike that of any of the children of men. We find no bones, no dust, no ashes. The lifeless body has burst asunder the bones of death, and instead of glomous despair and sadness, we behold white-winged messengers of heaven sitting on the stone of the empty sepulchre proclaiming to a fallen world the glad tidings, "He is not here, for he is risen." No sadder or darker days have ever been experienced by the Church than when its founder was put to death by cruel men. His disciples forsook Him and died as they cried out, "Verily thou art a God that hides thyself." But one morning the tide turned, struggles seceded, and hopes were renewed. The world is now being bathed in gloom. Crathion is grooming and the enemy still advances; is there any hope? Will victory ever be gained? Should democracy triumph or will she be constrained to remain in the tomb where she has so long been held? Is it possible that German intrigue, Prussian violence shall wipe out the last vestige of treason? These questions now free themselves upon us. Have no fearing comrades. Death always precedes the resurrection. The world needed a resurrection. She was walking away from the Sim. Her limbs were cold and her heart beat slow. Brotherhood was not known. Fatherhood was not respected. Democracy had not been sought. In the midst of all this anguish and woe, I can hear the bells of Easter as they clime, "I am the resurrection, and the life." National progress depends upon individual progress. Therefore, national resurrection will follow individual resurrection. Have you thought about climbing any higher, thinking any loiter, serving any better? We all feel the need of a new impulse, we ourselves know just what we can do to sweeten our lives. Gold calls you this Eastertide. Your country needs you. Freedom trembles in the balance. On to resurrection, and victory. REV. B. C. ROBESON. GETTING A TASTE OF THE FRUITS OF PREJUDICE A few years ago a narrow minded man with a heart full of malice and prejudice against the darker races was elected to the senate of the state of Montana, and he straightway proceeded to get in the lightline by proposing a law based on this self-sacred prejudice, wherein he introduced a bill making it a misdemeanor for any male person of African or Asiatic extraction to work in the same building where a white woman worked. Of course the bill failed to pass, but this is what happened, and it now the condition of Senator Willetts, as clipped from the Helena, Mont. Independent: "Fearing that the advent of warm weather will make the presence of ex-Senator O. J. Willett, quarantined leper, dangerous to their community, the people of Albertson have appealed to the commissioners of Mineral county, for removal of the man. "The commissioners have decided to place Mr. Willett on a farm about three miles from Albertson, but this place is not ready until late in the summer, and the citizens of the town where the afflicted man now lives are afraid that flies will spread the terrible disease among them. "A committee of five women demanded of the commissioners that Willett will be removed at once and the house he has been living in with his wife he burned down. The board of commissioners has taken the matter under advisement." Prejudice is, after all, the worst disease extant, and it will kill you. It is not so merciful to this senator. It has sapped his soul and he, a victim of his own damnable prejudice, is allowed to slowly die with the most loathsome disease known, and with ample opportunity to repent of his dastardly attempt to hinder the progress of a struggling people.
