BROADGAUED WRITÉ IN
A BROADGAUED JOURNAL
The following from the pen of John D. Barry in the San Francisco Bulletin is indeed food for thought. And after all, there is consolation in that there are those who are willing to admit that we have men and news papers in the race worth while.
By John D. Barry
Shortly after we entered the war Eminpjt J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee, for many years, closely associated with the late Booker T. Washington, wrote to Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, one of the Tuskegee trustees, suggesting that the negro soldiers alive a counselor in Washington, both to give their guidance and to look after their interests. Rosenwald at once approved and entered into communication on the subject with Washington's successor at Tuskegee, Major Robert R. Moton, who wrote to both President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker. The result was that Scott was detached from Tuskegee for a while and sent to Washington, where he now has an office in the War Department. He has made himself so useful that he will probably stay there till the war is over.
In the first draft, out of one hundred thousand men, eighty thousand were colored. Out of every hundred colored men certified for service thirty-six were accepted. Twenty-five were accepted out of every hundred whites. Perhaps the boards were less regardful of negroes. On the other hand, the negroes may have been physically more fit. General Crowder says that fewer negroes applied for exemption that whites.
In Atlanta virtually all the negroes were accepted and virtually all the whites were exempted. The board was reinstated.
In the District of Columbia, though, at this time, the colored people were about one-third the population, they contributed considerably more than one-third the number of soldiers.
There were many problems associated with the negroes in the war. Most of the more intelligent negroes favored separation. But they were concerned about discrimination. It was natural that they should feel both suspicious and sensitive. For example, when they found themselves in large numbers assigned to battalions for manual labor, there were some grumbling among them, though they knew that many of the white soldiers had also been assigned to such labor. One manual laborer, in the ranks wrote from France: "Our men want to fight and die in the trenches just as other men want to fight and die in the trenches." According to the first estimate of the War Department three hundred and fifty thousand men were to be put into the service battalions and fifty thousand of them were to be chosen from among the colored soldiers. Where the colored were, roughly speaking, about one in twelve as compared with the whites of the first draft, they would contribute one in seven to the manual laborers. Nearly all the stevedores selected were colored, for the reason that many of them were experienced stevedores from such ports as Galveston, Pensacola, New Orleans, Savannah and Charleston.
Scott is a pretty busy man. His work obliges him to use several other colored men in his office as assistants. Whenever a colored soldier wants advice or wants to file a complaint, it is to Scott he turns. And a more tactful counselor than this intelligent, accomplished negro could hardly be imagined. On looking at his smooth, unlined, smiling face, you would never suspect that he was forty-five years old. He has seen his people do a good deal of traveling in the past quarter century and he has traveled with them. He makes a point of keeping in touch with the feeling and thought of the colored race throughout the country. A great many of the two hundred newspapers and magazines that now represent them pass under his eye. For the negroes are becoming articulate. Political, economic, educational and social opportunities, in spite of limitations, are counting in ways that would gladden Abraham Lincoln if he were alive today.
Here is one kind of comment, published in The Advocate of Cleveland, that reaches that office in the War Department, headed, "More Work for Mr. Scott":
"It is regrettable, it is depressing, it is discouraging to learn that a colored man, wearing the uniform of an American army officer, en route to his post at Fort Sill, where ordered by his government, should be taken from the train, tried and fined by a local court, because he refused to leave his berth in a sleeping car, which he paid for, while passing through the state of Oklahoma, and especially so at a time when the railroads are under government control.
"It is wonderful—a marvel—that our race is showing such splendid loyalty to country—such patriotism—when denied the comforts and conveniences, the rights and privileges enjoyed by others who have offered
The California Eagle
their services to fight, bleed and die for their country.
"It is to be hoped that Mr. Emmett J. Scott, our only intermediary in the War Department—or any other department of this great government—will cite this case, and have steps taken, if possible, that will prevent other colored men—officers or privates, wearing the uniform of an American soldier—being arrested and fined for riding in a sleeping car from the far east to the far west.
"The race—the colored race—will be one compact unit in supporting Mr. Scott in urging that, at least while railroads are under government control, colored soldiers be not subjected to the humiliation, insult and injustice of being taken from trains, tried and fined for enjoying American rights and privileges."
Scott is now investigating this case. It is only one of many now in his office presenting a wide variety of previous publications of the colored people are very interesting. It's a jig they are almost wholly read by the colored people alone. They might be read with great profit by the whites as well. Some of them, however, it is only fair to say, are helped by the whites, both of the North and of the South.
In the South white leaders of the more race are emerging
In Dalton, Georgia, Mrs. L. L. Hammond has formed what she calls "The Southern Publicity Bureau," to enlighten and educate Southern public opinion. On the committee working with her she has Southerners of distinction.
The world is moving fast and the American negros are helping it to move in the direction of a genuine democracy that they count on sharing—San Francisco Bulletin.
DR. ARTHURTON WRITES ON
FOOD POISONING
Ptomaine Poisoning
Pomaine poisoning is undoubtedly the most common form of food poisoning. What is meant by pomaine and pomaine? poisoning? Pomaine is any alkaloidal or basic product of the putrefaction of animal or vegetable matter (French). The bacteria or germ of putrefaction produce substances called pomaines. These substances are a product of the action of the bacteria on dead organic matter.
Most people have in their minds that to be a victim of this form of food poisoning one must necessarily have eaten food that has undergone bacterial decomposition (or commonly called spoiled food) such as partially decomposed meat or flesh, but such an idea is not only unscientific but rudely erroneous. Ptomaines produce poisonous effects only when they have accumulated in the body in sufficient quantity to overpower the fighting powers of the body, and these ptomaines may be taken into the body already formed within the food particles, or they may be formed within the intestines after the food has been taken into the system by the decomposition of proteins (proteins are articles of food composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur). Since, then, ptomaine poisoning may be caused by different articles and different germs, it stands to reason that the symptoms will vary both according to the type of poisoning and the virulence of the attacking cause. With the idea in mind of how ptomaines are formed and how ptomaine poisoning may occur, let's turn our attention to another very common and dangerous form of food poisoning and their symptoms.
Meat Poisoning
This form of poisoning is produced by eating pork, sausages of the various kinds, and occasionally from veal, beef, or mutton. This form of poisoning is not identical with potionine. As a matter of fact its nature is not known, although such intoxication has repeatedly followed the cating of canned meat, and in quite a few cases the poisoning has been traceable to metallic origin, due to the formation of the chlorides of zinc and tin within the can container. Investigators have been able to isolate certain germs known to the profession as bacillus proteins and, most especially, the bacterium botulinum as causative agents, but in no other case has any germ been isolated as directly causing the trouble. Symptoms of Meat Poisoning
The symptoms usually develop within six hours after the poison has been ingested; when due to ptoma formation within the body, they may be delayed as long as forty-eight hours or more. The first indication of poisoning often chilliness or stiffness; this is followed, by sickness of the stomach, vomiting, gripping pains in the abdomen, dizziness, extreme prostration and cold perspiration. Fever goes up to 101 or 103 degrees F., the pubis becomes rapid and feeble, then shortness of breath becomes marked. Sometimes the patient has an intense pain about the chest or between the shoulders. The tongue may be heav-

ily coated, often brown, with red tip and edges. There may be cramps in the extremities, twitching of the muscles of the face, stupor and late paralysis of certain motor centers. When any number of these symptoms show up send for your doctor as the condition is fast becoming dangerous. Delay is costly. Don't wait until the patient is ninety-nine per cent dead and then call the doctor and expect him to do miracles. While you are waiting for the doctor encourage vomiting with mustard water or anything you know of. Keep the patient warm. It is advised that people be careful of their articles of diet especially canned food, milk, cheese, stale foods, fish and ice cream. R. M. ARTHURTON, M.D.
RANSOM RECEIVES OVATION
Lives Up to Advance Reputation and Delivers Notable Message
Trinity Auditorium was the scene last Monday night, of a notable gathering who came out to hear the message as delivered by that militant leader, Reverdy C Ransom or New York. His reputation as one of the greatest orators, of the age had preceded him, and indeed did he live up to the same and no man or woman who heard him on this occasion will ever forget the impression which he made. As he strode forth with a mighty message of hope, contending at all times for the fullest rights of every citizen beneath the canopy of heaven. No trimming, no cutting of corner are tasks in his skills. He preached the doctrine of equal rights. He took up the challenge of democracy categorically and dissected each one and laid them bare for the inspection of his hearers. Enthusiasm was to its highest pitch and loud were the praises heaped upon this eloquent divine.
Dr. Ransom lectured under the adjuncts of the Y M.C.A. and the president of that organization, Capt. J. Crumbly, was introduced by W. O. Tyler, chairman of reception committee as master of ceremonies. The entire audience led by the mighty chorus of the united choirs of the city of 200 voices, sang "America." Rev J. D. Gordon invoked the divine blessing. After a musical selection by the chorus, J. Smythe Jones read an original poem dedicated to the service flag of the Y M. C. A which flag contained 30 stars, presented to that organization. After a selection by the far named Wesley Chapel Quartette, Capt. Crumbly presented Rev J. Logan Craw, whose presentation of the speaker of the evening was indeed a classic. He soared to the heights of teloquence. It was one of the pleasing events of the evening so much so that Dr. Ransom remarked that he would do his best, if it was possible for him to extricate himself from the heights which Rev. Craw had placed him. And then for one and one-half hours Dr. Ransom held the vest audience spellbound with his forceful and matchless eloquence on the subject: "A Challenge to the Knight Errant of World Democracy." At the conclusion of the address and a selection by the chorus, the benediction was offered by Rev Father Cleghorn, rector of the Episcopal Church. Among other things Dr. Ransom said:
Caught in the grip of the present world cataclysm, American Democracy is fighting for its life; fighting to rescue and preserve the loftiest ideals that have ever constituted the foundations of a Nation's hope. The government we have established upon these shores, is the highest birth of all the ages. The virgin soil of this new world seems to have been received of God, to nurture its development and growth through all its stages until it attained its full fruition. Like a gallant knight, clad in the armor of the common people and bearing the shield and lance of liberty and equality, America went forth to establish a Democratic Republic on this continent.
When the Federal Constitution was finally ratified by the colonies which wished to form a "more perfect union," the United States was challenged by that modern Goliath of Gath, the institution of human slavery, it insinuated itself into the religious, social, industrial and political life of the Nation, giving the lie to the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and the solemn covenants of the Constitution of the United States. Then came the Garrisons, Summers, Phillips, Harriet Beecher, Stowes, Douglasles and John Brown, who went forth to give battle in the name of freedom, until at last, until the blood stained garments of war. a Nation went forth to meet the challenge upon the field of battle, and settled the decision in favor of freedom and the triumph of the peoples of Democracy. But victory was not assured until the loyalty and valor of 187,000 Black Men, armed in defense of the Union, went forth to battle
and helped to give the death blow to this menace to American Democracy. With the threatening menace of this standing challenge constantly before the Nation in this, the most critical hour in the Nation's history, and the greatest crisis in the history of the modern world, there has entered the lists, a new challenger to our Democracy, in the person of our hyphenated Americans. We have survived the tests of the slave power, and of secession, only to find that when we sought as a united Nation to face a foreign foe, that our greatest menace had been nourished and fed upon the best of our National strength and prosperity, only to seek to wound it from within at a time when it was most seriously menaced from without.

REMARK BY TEXAN CAUSES
NEAR RIOT AT ANGELUS
THEATER
A man named Powers, who was playing the role of Hypnotist while getting off a part in which he attempted to hypnotize his subjects so as to make them preach like what he called a Southern Colored Parson, at which time some small boy said. Amen. It is not known whether it was a Colored or white boy, but when the remark was made the GREAT HYPNOTIST exclaimed, YOU COLORED BOYS. HAD BETTER KEEP QUIET OR THE MANAGER WILL HAVE TO PUT YOU OUT. IF I HAD YOU IN THE LONE STAR STATE WHERE I CAME FROM I WOULD THROW YOU OUT.
At this point the Colored people in a body, being over 90 per cent of the patrons, left the theater. When Sidney P. Dones demanded of the manager that Powers apologize for what he had said. But the crowd had got beyond control and after all the colored patrons crowded to the streets demanding their money, some one got back into the theater and found Powers hiding under the stage, pulled him out and gave him the thrashing of his life. This, however, is no reflection upon the management of the Angels for since the beginning of their effort in this community they have not only put on good pictures, but have treated all of their patrons alike

SERVICE FLAG PRESENTATION
SPEECH
On presenting the Service Flag to the Colored Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, at the Reverdy C. Ransom lecture and musical, in Trinity Auditorium, Monday evening, April 8, 1918, Mr. Edward Smyth Jones, author of "The Flag of the Free" and "The Sylvan Cabin," spoke as follows:
"Mr. Secretary, Ladies and Gentlemen—By the happy thought and through the persistent efforts of one of the young men of our Association, I have the signal honor of unfurling and presenting this beautiful "Service Flag" to the Colored Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of Los Angeles.
"These thirty radiant stars, resplendent in their glory, represent the thirty young men called to the colors, from our rolls. They are our living sacrifice placed upon the sacred altar of LIBERTY—that sacrifice of which it is written—Great love than this hath no man, that he layest down his life for his friend."
"And now, in turning over this holy flag to the Association, whose walls it shall soon adorn, Lewish to present at the same time the little lady, Mrs. Mazie F. Tate, whose generous impulse prompted her to devote several days of her valuable time, without any recompense save the love of doing good to make this flag. She has chosen the better part and has done what she could."
"I wish also, to thank our white friends, publicly, for so kindly donating the gorgeous star-decked banner.
"Mr. Secretary, the lady—the flag!"
MME MOTIN'S RECITAL
Appearing before a large appreciative audience last Tuesday evening, Mme. Frances F. Motin demonstrated superior ability as a dramatic reader.
Even though her voice was not at its best upon this occasion, Mme. Motin has wonderful creative ability and in both tragedy and comedy is a power.
After being introduced by Editor Bass, an old acquaintance from her home state, Kansas, Mme. Motin started a program which was full of action from start to finish, and the great audience was thrilled.
Those who assisted Mme. Motin in making this one of the First A. M. E. church's high class affairs which she has the distinction of staging always, were Mrs. Emma Smith, soprano; Mrs. Ethel Miller Thomas, contralto; Miss Naida McCullough.
Mrs. N. B. Murray spent a few days at San Diego this week.
Lieutenant W. M. Tarleton and bride of a few months reached the city Saturday from Camp Funston.
Complimentary to the young girls of their social set Messrs. V. Tanner, W. M. Pillows, R. Temple, Bruington Lee and Racer gave a delightful dancing party Friday evening at Normandie Hall.

Letter Received by Mr. and Mrs. Shores
367th Infantry, Co. "L"
216 12th St, Camp Upton,
Long Island, New York,
March 12th, 1918
I am writing to you this time, father, as I want yo uto use your own judgment in breaking the news to mother what I want her to know. I am going to tell you so that she won't feel so shocked by reading it herself. We are going to sail across in about three or four weeks. We are going to have our farewell parades in New York the 23rd and after that we are looking to sail at any time. And the same smile that I left dear old Los Angeles with—I will leave New York with the same one. It is a smile that can never come off as I have made everything right with my God and I am not worried about anything. As one of our sayings says "pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile."
believe it—"pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile."
L realize the responsibility that Uncle Sam has put upon my shoulders, but I am thankful enough to know that I am man enough to stand it all. I am fighting for the lives at home as well as for myself, so you see why I am not worried when I can kill two birds with one stone.
Say, father, the reason that I am anxious to sail across is because you know the Kaiser is the same as a mad dog. When a dog is mad he snaps at everything in sight and every thing he bites is poisoned, so if is up for me to go over and kill this mad dog before he bites some of us. In other words our country is on fire and is up to us to put it out.
I would like to see you all before I sail across exactly you and mother—the two I love best in the world, but the expense would be so much it is hardly necessary and I will be back.
When I go over the top I am going over with all the strength and courage I have in me. I am no coward. I mean to fight and obey orders and my mind is made up.
Well, father, it is getting late now, so I guess I'll close. Oh, say, by the way, father. I almost forgot; it would be a good idea for you to get a New York paper of the 24th so that you will know everything about the farewell parade of us Buffalo soldiers.
Remember me to all the officers and other employees of the bank and kiss my dear mother for me. So this is all for this time. May God be with us all until we meet again. Your loving son, THOMAS SHORES.
LOWER CALIFORNIA FLASHES
"Lower California (Frontera District) which includes Vallecitos and Santa Clara Ranches has a topography much more favorable to the collection of underground water than is that of Southern California.

This is life eternal that they may know Thee, was the text chosen by the pastor last Sunday morning as he spoke to an appreciative audience on the subject of "Knowing God."
He said in part: "It is the supreme duty as well as a great privilege of man to know God. The great concern of God from the beginning of the world has been that man should know Him, and to this end He has manifested Himself in many and varied ways, but the greatest manifestation of Himself was through His Son Jesus Christ. To know Christ is to know God."
This Sunday promises to be a day of unusual interest. The pastor will bring a special message on "Witnesses" at the morning service.

Rev L. H. Washington left Los Angeles Wednesday morning over the Salt Lake route for Chicago, where he intends to enter a theological seminary. Many friends were at the station to bid him God speed. Rev Washington left many warm hearted friends who were sorry to see him leave California. The church feels they have lost a good shepherd. Rev Washington has won the respect of many prominent people of Los Angeles, among whom is Rev. Glen MacWilliams, who has proved to be a true friend, and one who has helped him on many occasions and showed much interest in the work he was endeavoring to do. Rev. Washington's farewell sermon will be long remembered by all who were present.

CALEXICO NEWS
By Mrs. E. J. Layne
Services at El Bethel Church on last Sunday were well attended. Rev. E. C. Dyer, the pastor, preached a noble sermon at 11 o'clock, after which a testimonial meeting was held, and surely the Holy Ghost was there. Rev. Keller preached Sunday night. His subject, "The Ox and the Ass." was very effective. One person united with the church as a candidate for baptism. Rev. Edwards was with his people on last Sunday afternoon. On Monday evening, April 8, a reception was given at El Bethel church by the members and friends in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Keller.
Mr. Ed Myers was in a kissing contest last Sunday night with one of the Valley's champion kissing bugs, and when it was all over the bug flew away more than conqueror, leaving Mr. Myers with a very bad eye. So with the left eye closed and the right
eye looking for bugs, he was seen early Monday morning at the voting polls.
We are very hard to to see Master Clifford Bynum on the job again, after staying indoors ten days with the mumps. He is the only boy of color in the messenger service.
The Calexico Woman's Uplift and Social Club will entertain Wednesday night at Bethel church with an apron and string and no matter where you go and what you try to do, you will find a knocker. We have a few in Calexico.
Man comes into this world without his consent and leaves it against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunderstandings. In his infatency he is an angel, in his boyhood he is a devil. In his manhood he is anything from a lizard up. In his duties he is a fool. If he has no family he is committing race suicide. If he raises a check he is a thief and the law raises Cain with him. If he is a poor man, he is a poor manager; if he is rich, he is dishonest, but considered smart. If he is in politics he is a gratter and a crook. If he is out of politics you can't place him, he is an undesirable citizen. If he goes to church he is a hypocrite. If he stays away he is a murderer and the matriarch of foreign stions he does not show. If he doesn't he is stingy and tight. When he comes into the world everybody wants to kiss him, before he goes out they all want to kick him. If he dies young there was a great future before him. If he lives to a ripe old age, he is in the way, only living to save funeral expenses. Life is a funny proposition, after all.
EL CENTRO NEWS
Rev J Q Maple of Texas was appointed pastor of Edwards Chapel, C M E Church, by Bishop C H. Phillips, D D. of Nashville, Tenn. Service was well attended at the Second Baptist Church, Sunday night. Rev J Powell, the pastor, was at his best. Everyone present had a spiritual least.

the pretense of rehearsing a chorus, instead he was presented with a beautiful baton from the members of the Metropolitan Baptist Church choir, of which he was former director. His wife then called him home to meet old friends from Kansas. On arriving home he found a party of friends gathered to celebrate his birthday. In a few minutes the party he had left arrived and everyone made merry until a late hour. Music, vocal and instrumental, was the predominant amusement of the evening, as Mr. Reynolds is a music lover and a singer of no little reputation. There were twenty-five candles on the cake. Of course we are all wondering now if he and his son are twins. He received many handsome and useful presents.

The people lend the money to the Government, the Government lends some to our Allies, and our Government aid our Allies straightway spend the money; or the greater portion of it, among the people of the United States. In some instances the money paid in by wage earners on one installment of Liberty Bonds is paid by the Government to their employers, and by their employers paid back to them in the way of wages before the next Bond installment is due. Buy Liberty Bonds.
SHORTEN THE WAR
The sooner the irresistible might of this great Republic is organized and put into full action the sooner the war will end. Every dollar invested in Government securities works to shorten the war, to save the lives of American soldiers and sailors.
LIBERTY AND LABOR
The lapse of labor lies in the opportunities for freedom; military domination; supervision, checks, bondage, lie in Prussian rule. It is not through a German regime but through democracy that labor is to receive adequate recognition and its realization of its rightful place in the world.
THE PRICE OF SHAMEFUL PEACE
More than a billion dollars of American agricultural exports were sold to the European nations at war with Germany during 1917. Had this Nation maintained peace at the price of obedience to the German war zone decree, this European market would have been closed and this billion dollars' worth of agricultural products would, most of them, have rotted on farms and in warehouse, or been used in unprofitable ways with consequent stagnation and ruin to the American farmers.
Interest as well as duty urges the American farmer to give financial support to his Government in this war.
STAND BY OUR FIGHTING MEN
From hundreds of thousands of American farms, in answer to the call of their country and in obedience to the law of their country, American boys have gone and today are fighting side by side with hundreds of thousands of American boys from the cities and towns of the country, confronting danger and death. The duty of us who remain at home in safety to afford the means to make these boys powerful and victorious is a most imperative one. Buy Liberty Bonds
WHAT YOUR LIBERTY BOND WILL ACCOMPLISH
A $1,000 bond will buy six cases of operating instruments for a base hospital, or furnish pistols for a rifle company, or one motor kitchen.
One thousand five hundred dollars of Liberty Bonds will buy a motor ambulance, or a motor car for a machine-gun battalion.
Two $1,000 bonds will buy a motor truck; three $1,000 bonds will buy rifles for a Field Artillery battery, or supply horses for a Field Signal battalion.
Four $1,000 bonds will buy a tractor; five $1,000 bonds will buy one Liberty truck, or seven Lewis machine guns, or equip a rifle company with rifles.
Six $1,000 bonds will buy a Liberty motor; seven $1,000 bonds one training plane; nine $1,000 bonds one observation balloon.
Ten thousand dollars of bonds will fully equip three hospital wards of 50 beds each, with all linen, clothing, and other necessaries, or buy six large wholesale sterilizing outfits, or six motor ambulances.
THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE
THE LIBERTY LOAN AND BUSINESS
"What has the Liberty Loan to do with the refrigeration business?" was asked by a subscriber in the fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains of the editor of the Refrigeration World. The answer was sound and patriotic:
"At this critical time the success or failure of the impending loan have more to do with refrigeration than even the machinery and chemicals used in producing refrigeration. If the loan fails, everything else will fail with it. All business will eventually be prostrated; nothing could thrive."
It is the business of every business and business man in the United States to see that the Liberty Loan does not fail. They should buy Liberty Bonds; they should encourage and assist others to buy them. No business in the United States is going to succeed if the Liberty Loan fails—if the Nation fails.
It is better business to buy Liberty Bonds than to pay indemnities to a victorious Germany; it is better business to win this war than to have our foreign commerce subject to the dictation of the Potsdam Government.
The welfare, the success, the prosperity, the liberty and the happiness of every true American is bound up in the Nation's success. We are not fighting alone for material interest, for annexations or indemnities. We are fighting for freedom and justice and humanity and civilization. But we are also fighting for the maintenance of our commercial rights, for the rights of our citizens to pursue their lawful journeys on the seas and transport their commerce to foreign markets. It is patriotic, and a duty, to buy Liberty Bonds. It is also good business to do it.
WAR FOR HUMANITY
War, in a good cause, is not the greatest evil which a nation can suffer. War is an ugly thing, but not the ughest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war is worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature, who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing tight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other—John Stuart Mill.
This was written a half century and more ago, but it might have been written yesterday it applies so well to today's conditions. The truth is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
CHALLENGES BY RANSOM
The mighty Reverdy C. Ransom has come to us and brought a marvelous message of inspiration and hope. In his address at Trinity Auditorium he step by step took up the challenges to a world's democracy, without trimming his sails one iota or inch he spoke for manhood, all the peoples and placed high above all other the Negro as truly All American. With rare force he dramatically exclaimed that Jehovah's God would make all things right, he differentiated between Jehovah's God and the God that the Anglo Saxon served which allowed him to murder and burn human beings, that allowed him to take his children and women to see a human being burned at the stake. These conditions he acclaimed was a challenge to America's Democracy, and that our boys who are over there will gain a victorious democracy and will return and enjoy the same real democracy in Mississippi. Georgia, Alabama and in every state of the nation. His message was indeed an epoch making event, which carried home with telling effect the plain, unwarranted truth.

Sunday was as usual, a big day at N. H. B. Church. Rev. Lane of Houston, Tex., preached the morning sermon. It was a master piece of eloquence. The choir was again in its place, which all were more than glad to see. After the services Mr. and Mrs. James Mabra brought their youngest, little Marjorie Elizabeth, to the altar, and the pastor, Dr. Cooper, asked God's divine blessing on her, and gave her to her godmother, Miss Florence Harrison. It was both a beautiful and impressive service. Rev. Lane preached for us again in the evening. His subject was "Prayer." His sermon was an earnest appeal to men to put more faith in prayer. It was a master piece of eloquence and knowledge. Three came forward for prayer in the morning. One person united with the church in the evening. Rev. Lane will preach for Dr. Cooper at the N. H. B. Church for the balance of the week, as the church has decided to have a week's revival. Come out and hear him, as he is a forceful and impressive speaker.

Mrs. Nash and daughter and Mr. Colman of Redlands worshiped at New Hope Sunday. That liberal, big hearted pastor of the Congregational church, Dr. Mobery, invited the writer out to his church Tuesday evening to hear the Fisk Jubilee Singers. I went, as I had heard them there last year, but I did not know all the good things they had in store for me. First, that quartet sang as only our people can sing, and then Dr. Mobery offered prayer, and that prayer for our people. Rev. Myers came forward to present the claims of Fisk to the people. His appeal was a master piece of language and thought, and when he was through presenting the claims of

us, they cheered him to the echo. Now, I heard Stitt Wilson, and he fired me up. He told me what Democracy stood for, and I declared unto you that I was ready to shoulder my gun and kill that Hun. But it remained for me to hear Mrs. Mobery just after Mr. Myers had spoken Mrs. Mobery's appeal to the other race for the people of my race, for the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God, and Democracy for all mankind, was the greatest appeal I have ever heard for my race from any human man or woman, white or black. I only wished that all the people of San Bernardino had been there to hear her. She placed the claims of the negro to full citizenship in this country before her audience in a manner that they who heard her will never forget, whether they agree with her or not. I know one thing, and that is that the white people sit up and take notice of what she said, and I felt a different atmosphere when I left the church than when I went in. Oh, for more women like this one! Enough, Sellah! The heavens may fall

JUST A WORD FROM ANTIOCH
EAPTIST CHURCH OF
SAN JOSE, CAL.
To the California Eagle, and to the many friends of our pastor, Geo. W. Hill, formerly of Los Angeles, and to the many readers of the "Eagle throughout the state, we the officers and members of the Antioch Baptist Church of San Jose, Cal., are very much pleased with the splendid service Rev. Hill has rendered by the help of Almighty God, since coming to us the first of the year. We have just closed a very successful revival with seven accessions to the church three by baptism, four by Christian experience. Our collections have increased from three to four dollars a Sunday to $18 and $20 a Sunday. Everybody thinks well of Rev. Hill, both white and colored. And our homes and pocketbooks and hearts are open to him as long as he remains with us and wherever he may go hereset, and church is in a spiritual condition as newer fore. We are in hopes that more of the young ministers from the southern part of the state will come north, as there are several vacant churches here without pastors.

PASADENA NOTES
METROPOLITAN BAPTIST
CHURCH
The B. Y. P. U. has renewed interest and is expecting to do great things in the near future. Next Sunday evening the program. Katie Lee will give a reading on the program. Sunday school is up to its usual standard in attendance and is enjoying the interesting lessons regularly every Sunday morning. Last Sunday sacrament was administered and the whole church seemed to be engaged in a spiritual feast.
FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES
Sunday services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. F. C. Taylor, and proved well worth the attendance and consideration. Both sermons were very impressively delivered. The morning sermon contrasted in a vivid manner the grumbler and the man who goes to the Lord in prayer when burdens seem heavy and unbearable. The evening message brought one big point that towered above all others, namely, man's greatest need in the world is mercy. Good attendance and liberal contributions prevailed at all services during the day. Evening services started rather late owing to the fact that the people seemingly have not adjusted themselves to the new standard time. The Allen Christian Endeavor League is preparing for a splendid program and discussion at the the meeting next Sunday evening at 7 o'clock sharp.
Also on next Sunday evening the choir, under the director of Mrs. Myrtle. Mack Mills, will repeat its Easter program. The pastor desires everyone to begin preparing for the last payment in the sacrifice rally. This payment must be the largest because it is absolutely the last big drive in the effort to free the church from debt.
