He got right in the harness here, and by efficient service has been elevated to the head of the same. With 24 lodges represented and an equal number of Households, with a membership of more than 1400, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows for California and jurisdiction, at their recent meeting at Riverside indeed held a most notable session, and with the greatest enthusiasm and the highest possible patriotic sentiment passed resolutions pledging to the Government their unstinted support in the successful prosecution of them.

Aside from this notable accomplishment, the service of the intrepid and distinguished Grand Master for the preservation and progress of the Order culminated in the great outpouring of patriotism for the welfare and food of this great Order. Likewise, his official family, consisting of A. D. Burrows, Deputy G. M.; E. H. Russell, G.S.; A.J. Cook, Grand Director, and J. D. Groves, Grand Treasurer, submitted splendid accounts of their stewardship during the past year. Past Masters Present The presence of such valiant leaders as Jacob Soares, the old warhorse of the district, was an inspiration indeed, and also present were Past Grand Masters B. A. Johnson of Sacramento and S. P. Johnson of Los Angeles. One of the outstanding features of the last annual session was the completeness of harmony and brotherly love, and the universal desire for progress along all the various lines of effort. The session closed stronger than ever, and truly the greater principles for which the Order stands were exemplified both in spirit and in fact, to the utmost. Riverside proved itself a most hospitable place in which to meet; and, while the Grand body had been elaborately entertained through the week the grand climax was at hand on the closing day, when at the most beautiful park an entertainment for its visitors, such as had never been given before, was given.

Whereas, The true test of the same has been eminently demonstrated by the intense interest and actions on behalf of the fraternity in the present war in which our country is engaged, whereby its members and the various lodges have with heart and soul entered with rare zeal into all the activities calculated to win the war, and whereby one of our BANK OF BOSTON TONY M.

THE RENDITION OF HIAWATHA'S WEDDING FEAST, FEATURING THE DEATH OF MINNEHAHA, AT TRINITY, AUDITORIUM, A HUGE SUCCESS. Last Friday evening, under the auspices of the Allenensworth Club, with Mrs. C. Halbert president and stage manager, and accompanied by S. S. R. R. S. Steward's orchestra, with Mrs. Katherine Murdock and Miss Marie Ford at the piano, the "Death of Minnehaha," set to music by Samuel Coleridge Taylor, dramatized by the Coleridge-Taylor Music Study Club, with Prof. H. Douglass Greer as director, was presented to a huge audience at the Trinity Auditorium, to the highest credit of all concerned. The music was a feature, and showed Prof. Stewart as a master hand in delineating and the orchestration of music. Mrs. Murdock at the piano was noticeably efficient; in fact, all parts of the orchestra held up to class. The chorus of the first part was a thriller and held up most splendidly. The shining star, of course, was Thos. L. Johnson, who played the part of Hiawatha, ably seconded by Miss Alice Reed as Minnehaha. Pau-Puk-Peewis, by Malcom Patton, was a strong feature and received the plaudits of the audience. Miss Anita Thompson, the dancer, is worthy of special mention. Miss Nellie Johnson as Chibiabos shared the honors of the evening with her brother as a soloist. She performed as the finished artist in song. The organ selection, "Toccata", by Miss Milla Owens, in the interlude, was a high light of the evening, and demonstrated the fact that as an organist Miss Owens ranks high. Other memers of the cast, aside from the big chorus, were GEO. Copeland, Mrs. H. D. Greer, Mrs. M. O. Ford, E. G. Barnes, Mrs. E. L. Mannes, Mrs. P.

If all the fellows who really claim credit for Roberts' nomination will just get down to brass tacks for his final election, he will have an unheard-of majority in November. We note with pride that Attorney Oscar Hudson so creditably represented the Republic of Liberia and the American Negro at the great Allied parade of all Nations at war with Germany, which was held at Oakland last Saturday. He spoke, it is said, to 3000 people, and his message was received with tumultuous applause. With the general clean-up movement we cannot understand why the Chinese lottery sharks cannot be subdued. We see evidence daily of this pernicious buno game being plied, and just why they are being tolerated we cannot see. As conditions exist, Chinese lottery tickets are just as staple as sugar and coffee; the only difference is that they come higher. In the House of Representatives down at Washington, a bill is being considered wherein the citizens of this country will pay $40,000 to Greece full indemnities inflicted on its Nationals during riots which occurred in South Omaha, Neraska, on February 21, 1919. We wonder what indemnity will be paid the poor black citizens who lost their lives and property in East St. Louis?—Detroit Leader. We have no patience with the fault-finder, but we certainly have a right to inquire of our special assistant to the Secretary of War just why the people of this section have so far failed to receive the same consideration at his hands as the peoples of our Race east of the Rockies. We are of the same kith and kin, our problems are the same; the solution, of course, is from a different angle, so by all means deal us a hand that we may play in the game also. The California Eagle, up in Kern County, goes great guns. Our readers doubtless read of the candidates which we played up to the limit; now it transpires that every mother's son of them, with one lonely exception, was either elected at the primaries or got on the ticket; in fact, out of eleven whom we supported, eight were elected, two of them got places on the ticket, and only one, a constable, was defeated. We leave it for your consideration as to whether or not this is some record. And at that the EAGLE is wearing the same size hat. On next Thursday all males from 18 years past to 46 years are required to register for military duty. There will be no slackness among the Colored people of this country; they will gladly march up to the booth and sign up for their country; as a matter of fact they are glad of the opportunity to do so, and as the President has called the answer will be echoed back. As in the Civil War, we are with you, Woodrow Wilson, two million strong. In the passing of events let us not forget that after progress is, DO SOMETHING, PRODUCE SOMETH and even how, to those who are not eligible to serve the tithehold, they can render even a greater service by a total of the earth the foodstuffs to sustain the men at the is service they demonstrate to the world that along here is no more useful asset to the country than this p In the passing of events let us not forget that after all the slogan for future progress is, DO SOMETHING, PRODUCE SOMETHING worth while, and even how, to those who are not eligible to serve their country on the battlefield, they can render even a greater service by producing from the soil of the earth the foodstuffs to sustain the men at the front, and in doing this service they demonstrate to the world that along all lines of effort there is no more useful asset to the country than this people.

F. M. Roberts, after a campaign noted for its fairness and on the broad platform of Americanism, won the Republican nomination, as the district is overwhelming Republican there should be no question of his election, and we do not believe there is. But in appreciation for the high honor it is meet and proper that every man who can qualify as an elector should register efore October 5th and roll up such a majority for Roberts as has never been withered in the 74th district before; therefore, we should all see that every votive possible is registered, not only to vote for Roberts but to support the Republican ticket and other worthy men who are on the November ballot as non-partisan. Get busy from this time forward. The citizens' Advocate is having a duck fit because Joe Scott failed in his address at Shrimers' Auditorium to say anything about the Black soldiers and the part they are playing "over there". To our notion, you must not expect too much, my brother; the Black boys have never received full credit and never will until we attain real democracy. Now there is just one or two reasons why he failed to mention these boys—he was either too selfish, small or forgot to do so; and this same thing happens so much among our own people that we have no ground to stand on to make a kick. One thing certain: he did not forget to tell what his very own boys are doing over there, and will at another sitting tell of the other boys. We appreciate most highly the man who is consistent; Joe Scott or no other man has goen to that battlefield, even by omission cannot dim the lustre of the brilliancy of the Black soldiers on the European battlefield.

Now, for nerve these birds have it to the limit. They, hired servants of the people, as it were, are chafing at the bit with impatience for the people's representatives to commit a wrong act. These people, as has been said, are tearing down democracy at home faster than the boys who are fighting for it in the trenches can build it up. Rightfully, they should be included in President Wilson's letter condemning mob violence, as their attitude smacks of pro-Germanism.

Banks, with words and music of that will soon be sung throughout America. Her songs are all given through, inspiration from God, and she has at no time tried to place words of a song by her own thoughts; when given to her, it is always through the night, and she at once gets up and secures pencil and paper, and writes the words as given; and after writing them down, then reading them over again and again, to learn the words herself by heart herself; then her soul began to sing a tune of music for the words to be spoken. And in the same manner all of her songs have been given. She has already on the market, selling at the Fifth Street Store, in the music department, two compositions, one entitled "Jesus of Nazareth" and another entitled "She Has Lifted the Path to Heaven." Another that has not been put in music entitled "Sad", and now the great patriotic song shall soon be heard throughout America. It has been sent in to the Examiner patriotic song contest, and we feel assured that there will hardly be any song to compete with it. The title of this great patriotic song is "To All America." Keep your ears open when it shall be sung and illustrated, but music can't be published until after the contest is over, January the 1st. Just to know that everything that is called for, some of the Race can enter, and some day we shall hope to have a song-book with all of her songs put in music. They are given to her faster than she can publish them, but the great thing is to know that they are planted deep down in her soul.

Williams, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, and entire membership who labored to faithfully to make the Western Baptist Association a success, deserve great credit for the manner in which they entertained the Association. Mrs. Sarah P. Shores, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Woodyard of Los Angeles, motored to San Diego last week. The visit of Mrs. Shores to the various Lodges, while here, was of much importance, and was indeed helpful in many ways. The members were all encouraged to do more and better work in the future. Mr. Walter Manning and Mr. Albert Slater, of the Aviation Camp, want to thank the people of San Diego for their loyalty and courtesy extended to them while in San Diego. They left last Wednesday for Philadelphia, and we know that they have reached their destination safely, as Miss Carrie Robinson of La Jolla has received a special from Mr. Manning, that they landed safely in Philadelphia. Mrs. Watkins entertained at dinner Sunday afternoon in honor her friend, Mrs. Tanner of Los Angeles, those present being Mr. I. H. Tanner and Miss Carrie Robinson of La Jolla, and Mrs. Marshall. Rev. Prince U. Kaba Rega. African preacher and lecturer, District Missionary of the Colored M. E. Church of California, and who hailed from Unyoro, British East Africa, is now in San Diego for ten days. He lectured Monday night and preached Tuesday night at the A. M. E. Bethel Church, and on Wednesday night, at the same church, told if his wonderful trip around the world, and spoke in nine different languages. On Thursday night he preached at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Next week he will lecture and preach at the white churches, and will have a jubilee chorus of fifty voices. His lectures and sermons have all been very interesting, owing to the fact that he told the whole truth and nothing else. Mrs. De Bois of La Jolla has been very sick for some time, and for the benefit of her health she in company with Mr. Frank Wright and Miss Nettie Perry, has spent some time at Warner's Spring, and they have just returned home. Nearly every one in La Jolla came in to San Diego last Monday night to attend the dance. Mr. Miguel Duarte has opened up an A-No. 1 restaurant on 4th street, between G and Market; a nice, clean and inviting place, where our veryest people will be delighted to go, and take their meals while in San Diego. We ask of our citizens here to patronize this place, which has been opened up for our special purpose. Ice cream and cake, and other refreshments, will also be served on Sundays. Mrs. F. M. Newman, on Greeley avenue, has been very sick, suffering of heart trouble. Mrs. Lillian Banks, on Logan avenue, is also on the sick-list. Mr. Gleun on Newton avenue died of lung trouble Monday a week ago, and was buried on Thursday afternoon. Rev. Stout and Rev. U. Prince U. Kaba Rega were introduced to the B. Y. P. U. of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, the subject being "All for Christ—Our Tongles", was discussed very briefly, and was interesting to all. As this is certainly one thing Christians' today are failing to do, and that is to use their tongues for Christ, we hope that the good things that were said will be put into practice, and that all may profit greatly by being present. The public has a standing invitation to come to all of the meetings of the B. Y. P. U., which convenes from 6:30 to 7:30 every Sunday evening. San Diego, Sept. 4, 1918. To the "Eagle": Chaplain R. C. Plenty and Company Supply Sergeant R. E. Chapman deeply thank the people of San Diego for their energy and support that they gave the Home Guard toward the baseball game Sunday for the purpose of buying equipment for the company. The amount has not been raised yet, but we are still doing our bit, so as to make an early purchase of other guns and uniforms. We also greatly appreciate and thank the Colored ball players for their good hard playing, to make a showing, which they did at the game Sunday. The score was 8 to 9 in favor of the Navy. Our boys practiced for only two weeks, and working every day at their daily tasks, and ```markdown ``` PAGE SIX practicing about six times during that time, while the Navy team consists of league players drilling every day. The signs that read "We prefer white trade only," that are in some of the public restaurants and theaters, are coming down gradually by the influence of the Negro Women's Council. Stand by these loyal Negro women, you citizens of San Diego, and the time will be closer when we will be recognized as a loyal Race by the people of the world. DR. MAHLON C. COOLEY C. Among the professional men who have picked Los Angeles for the future field of labor and effort, none have made a more favorable impression and furnished a more practical demonstration of real worth and merit than Dr. M. C. Cooley, who as a physician and surgeon of the first rank has already become a part and parcel of the people of this city. Dr. Cooley, although a young man, is richly schooled in experience and practice; he is a graduate of the famous Meharry School of Medicine and Surgery, located at Nashville Tenn., which institution has sent forth some of our most famous Doctors of this country; also Hubbard hospital. Practiced in Tennessee, and in the Lone Star State of Texas. Deciding to locate here, he submitted to the State Board of Examiners-his credentials, and he was licensed to practice on his previous standing and qualifications without examination. When the question of location was considered the Doctor elected to get right close to the people, therefore he opened his office at 1539 East East 12th street, right in the heart of the Colored population of this city. His conduct thus far has demonstrated his worth in his profession, and, being with the people, the EAGLE predicts for him the greatest success. Himself and his family will be a great boon to the social, religious and fraternal life of the city, as he is active in religious and civic affairs, as well as a prominent member of the N. A. A. C. P. The Doctor's mother, Mrs. Gertrude E. Cooley, has resided here some years, and to be near his mother was perhaps the strongest point which locates him here. Anyhow, the Doctor gives all credit for his success in his efforts for progress in his chosen profession to his mother. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 4th, 1918. (Special to the California Eagle Pub- lization Company.) Mr. Editor: Dear Sir—Why is it the Colored American citizens, in the city of Los Angeles, have not got the patriotic spirit toward the Colored boys as the whites. Sunday, Sept. 1st, there were about seventy-five of our Colored oys, more or less, went away for war duty, and if I can remember well, we have in this city three or four Colored bands, and just to think there was not one at the station to cheer them up. We also have three Red Cross chapters of Colored women in this city, and not one at the station. But I notice three of the white members were present, giving out things to our boys when the gallant 26th Infantry Regiment passed through you city a A NEW PLACE TO, EAT AT Whilst in San Diego. Everything that the market affords At 646 Fourth Street. MIGUEL DUARTE, Prop. few days ago. What Red Cross met them? The whites, of Course, although we have three chapters of Colored, but none was present to welcome our boys. Now let us not forget, our own, and do our duty to our boys when they go away; it may be the last time that you may see your boy or your husband, your sweetheart or your friends, so cheer them up when they go away. Respectfully yours, J. W. THOMPSON, 1st Sergt. U. S. Army, Retired Colored Candidate for County Clerk at Oakland Receives Nearly 5000 Votes The following statement by Mr. E. Marshall, who had the grit and nerve to run for County Clerk in the great big county of Alameda, strikes us so forbly that we are in part reproducing the same. We know nothing of this fight, but we like the ring of Marshall's letter; it sounds clear to us; it is in a way synonymous to a situation in this city, but we forever put the ward heelers and cheap grafters to sleep and won a glorious victory for the Race by the nomination of F. M. Roberts to the Assembly. As we read it, Marshall has in defeat won a most notable victory. We need no explanation; 4258 votes tells the tale: Errol Marshall Thanks Voters As a candidate for County Clerk of Alameda County, I desire to thank my many friends for the loyal support given me at the polls on the 27th inst. I feel that the Race with which I am identified has been weighed and not found wanting. It is extremely gratifying to me to have had such a prominent part in the great battle for manhood, right and justice decided at the polls. It is a showing that excels all other efforts we have made, and the Race is duly proud of the achievement. I am not unmindful of the fact that our white friends aided us materially in the fight for true democracy. It was but the entering wedge that must bear results of incalculable value to the Race. We conducted our own fight free from any entangling alliances, with our own money and in our own way. Never was there a cleaner campaign conducted by any men or set of men. We served as best we could the best interests of the Race. We accomplished what we went in to accomplish, and we feel that we shall reap great benefits from our efforts. I desire to thank the officers and memebrs of the Alameda County Political Association for their loyal support. The man or set of men who cannot see that we are together is very dense indeed. Erin's sons were never truer to the land of their birth than we to the cause we espoused. Without funds, without organizations such as other candidates have, with the door of opportunity closed in our face, but with firmness in the right as God gave us to see the right, we went forth to fight for our rights as all free men will fight, conscious of the fact that ours was a just cause. And the verdict of 4,258 registered voters of Alameda county supported our contention. We staked our all against the greatest political machine that Alameda county ever knew. We asked no quarter, nor gave none. We had no juicy plums to promise anyone; we only wanted to stand or fall on our merits. How well we succeeded you well know. We have been misunderstood by many of our own Race, but we feel that they, too, have seen the light. Those who differed with us and felt that we would not be able to make a showing, had a right to their opinion. But to actively combat our efforts was another question. And yet for these we have only the highest regard. But the ward heeler and crooked politician received the drubbing of his life, and in the future the political boss will think twice before he purchases our votes through this agency, as one reverend gentleman will soon find out. We intend to wage a relentless war against this kind of leadership: We had neither the support nor co-operation of our own papers published in Oakland. Not one was ever written, to our knowledge, in --- SOME HOT SHOT dorsing our stand. But for the sake of a few dollars one of our papers came out urging the Race to vote against themselves. The bought press, like the individual, loses its power for good in the community when it resorts to such tactics. And we shall view with much alarm the subsidized press that fails to speak out for manhood, right and justice. We respectfully suggest that the 161 nurses at the County Hospital read the following.

LEAGUE ATTENDING TO BUSINESS State Council of Defense for California, California Women's Committee, Councils of National and State Defense, 719 South Hill St., Los Angeles, Cal.. August 23, 1918. To the Honorable Board of Supervisors: Dear Sirs—The California Women's Committee of the Councils of National and State Defense has been carrying on a campaign to recruit girls to enter Training Schools for Nurses. The Committee was asked to do this by the National Council of Defense at the request of Surgeon-General Gorgas. The need for this campaign was the removal of the Nursing service of the country the trained nurses who were called upon for war service. A numer of very intelligent and educated young Colored women have applied for enrollment in the U. S. Student Nurse Reserve. In view of this fact and the fact that the great world war is being fought in the cause of Democracy by men of all races, all creeds, and all colors, the following resolution was adopted and is sent to you for your consideration: "As Colored men are being asked to serve the country as soldiers and as the Women's Committee has been asked to enlist women in the Student Nurse Reserve, and as numbers of Colored women have already responded to the call, we urge that the Training Schools for Nurses throughout the State be asked to accommodate Colored women as Student Nurses." It is hoped that if there is a County Hospital in your county that you will arrange for it to make provision for training for Colored girls who can qualify, and that publicity will be given to this action of yours. Very respectfully. California Women's Committee. Councils of National and State Defense. Issues Annual Call. THE NATIONEL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE INVITES COLORED RACE TO ASSEMBLE IN CHICAGO SEPTI 17-19 TO GET RACE ORGANIZED TO PUSH CLAIMS FOR POSSESSION OF FULL AND EQUAL DEMOCRATIC RIHGTS — UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY. To Colored Americans: The year 1918 is a time unusual and unprecedented in the history of Americans of African descent. Not only are they taking part for their country in an European war for democracy, ubt within two months two National Colored gatherings of entirely different make-up have laid before the government of the United States the proscriptions of our race. The Conference of Colored Editors and others was called together by the War Department, to which it made complaint. The National Colored Liberty Congress was called by a national race committee to hold a people's convention. From both meetings good is resulting. Expressed in plain, uncompromising English, our just grievances were rought squarely before the House of Representatives, and before the American people, by said Liberty Congress, and were made a prominent and permanent part of the Congressional Records. (June 29, 1918.) It seems providentially fortunate, therefore, that this noteworthy achievement on the part of the Liberty Congress is to be so soon followed by the Eleventh Annual Equal Rights League, to be held in September, in the City of Chicago. Last September, at the memorable tenth annual convention of our League in New York City, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, that invincible champion of equal rights brought to us a cordial invitation to hold the League's 1918 meeting in the city of Chicago, which invitation we unanimously and heartily accepted. At Chicago, Sept. 19. Therefore, by the authority vested in me as President of the National Equal Rights League, I do hereby is- sue this call for the Eleventh Annual Convention of said League to convene on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 17th, 18th and 19th, in the city of Chicago, Ill. Fellow Comrades of the National Equal Rights League, and others. I cannot even begin to express how urgently important it is that our people in all sections of the country should give prompt and earnest heed to this call. By means of the great world-war all nations and races are eing tried, as it were, y fire; their real worth and stamina are being severely tested, and none more so than that of Colored Americans; and we must no allow ourselves to be found wanting. A double burden rests upon our shoulders while this war lasts; we must continue to perform all the duties of citizenship, freely sacrificing our time, our money and our blood for our country; and, at the same time, we must double, rather than diminish, our exertions in our own behalf, unceasingly pressing to the front our own claims and demands for an equal share in the possession and enjoyment of all those rights for which we are fighting. Our very freedom and life, and that of our unorn generations, depend upon our keeping up this double fight. The Double Duty. They are half cowards who, while fighting for their country, will not, at the same time, demand an equal chance and a square deal. And they who seek and demand their rights while unwilling to shoulder their full share in the nation's and the world's struggle for freedom, will meet their deserved defeat. Every considerable race on earth is involved in this world-war, and the future of twelve million Colored Americans, with that of other groups of peoples, is to be determined in its issue. Besides our standing grievances there are naw and perplexing racial relations and conditions evolving out of this war that call loudly for our most earnest and immediate attention. These new war-created conditions are of such vital significance as should speedily bring together our entire race leadership. This war will result in permanent ebneft to us only in proportion as we, as a race, through our own appointed leadership, and with organization nation-wide. exert ourselves earnestly, promptly and wisely in our own behalf. Let every community join this Colored Liberty Organization Drive. Let us as a race get ready to enforce our claim to World Democracy as an issue of this world war. Therefore, let us get together for organization as a race to enforce our claims to world democracy. Every church, civic, educational, fraternal, political and business organizations among our people, without regard to sect, sex or party, are invited to be represented in the Chicago convention by one, two or several delegates to deliberate on the organizing of our race for self-defense. An especial appeal is made for the quick formation of equal rights and democracy leagues or committees for the purpose of sending delegates to this national convention for race organization for liberty.

Food Sunday morning's subject: "Sacrifice" Sunday night: "Christianity and the War" (Red Cross) Very impressive covenant service weeer held at "New Hope, Sunday morning. At the evening service Pastor Reed filled the pulpit. His subject was "Competence vs Christian Science." He takes his text from Ephesians 1:19. What is the exceeding greatness of His power to us—ward who believe. He opened his sermon on stating that the religious world is becoming top-heavy on account of the multiplicity of organizations claiming Christ as their standard-bearer but lacking unity of thought, doctrine and purpose. Further, he stated that these many organizations are about to stagnate the influence of the Christian religion. This statement is evidenced by the limited number of converts coming into the Church. Then, reverting to his subject he spoke of Mrs. Eddy, the founder of the First Church of Christ and the discoverer of what she entitles "Christian Science" or in other words, the Science of Thrush. He admits that Christ is Omniscience but that His miracles were not accomplished through scientific skill, but all of His wonderful accomplishments were the results of His power. The dead were raised the blind recovered their sight, and the sick were healed in response to His power, and not from its central skill. And on and on he unbounded to his eager waiting audience the truth that God is a God of power and that all that He did through His son was through the working of His power, which is exceeding great to us exceeded.

Every race with our American makeup which suffered from race prejudice has institutional organizations on a white scale to combat and break down discrimination on public matters. Every such group presents a protest the right that race backed by an organization of that race, which the public will retaliate and work against so who are prejudiced against them. This independent self-righteous compels restraint. When Moorfield store member of the race which made itself free and independent being interested that race should get its rights was inspired to send word on the accused indictment—"Who now — he was a ring on the knowl- der that the proscribed race has ever been a permanent grip on equality in the relationship that race show- ed to the oppressor that it had de- fended the ability to make a tight, un- the dominant race saw that it had been used an internal organization for its rights and could conduct a fight through its own generalship. If others helped, they did so under the leadership of the race or they acted as allies. The deciding point has been that the people who were in power realized that the people pros- cribed insisted that the discrimination deeply enough to fight it themselves, not needing to be put up so doing so or members of the dominant race; and realized also that the proscribed race had developed sufficient strength to be able to conduct an organized campaign for equal rights. When the oppressors see that a great race really feels discrimination, without having to be sparred up, and that it has the spirit and ability to make an organized resistance, the oppressors begin to fear and respect and to pay hard for their protest. The cooperation of friends who have all their own rights is helpful. Philanthropists are beneficial as allies. Combinations of philanthropists with the oppressed do a great deal of good. The applegate "Who would be free himself must strike the blow" however requires absolutely that what he offers aids there may be self-made and self-conducted race organization against proscription must exist. In the words of another member of the dominant race, Richard W Hall counsel in the John Johnson extradition case, the way to "get justice irrespective of race" is for Colored Americans in contending for rights to learn to "stand on their own legs." Having a racial organization for racial protection does not mean opposition to any other form of organization. The world finds room for various religions, civic or fraternal organizations. So do persons belong to more than one social, civic or fraternal organization. Persons denied justice have community of interest, a peculiar interest have their own fate at stake, which makes it logical to have an internal self-protecting body anyway. Its absence means lack of self-reliance, means dependence, upon the more fortunate, means inferiority to other classes or races. The self-organized fight is therefore indispensable to standing and respect. The race that can speak for itself as organized stands higher and will be heard with more respect. Now is a most remarkable time in this respect. Every weaker race or class has a chance for redress in the new order to come from a gigantic worldwar for democracy. It is the one great chance for our Race, now the most proscribed. Every other weaker race or class can show a self-or ganized representative body to deal for it, looking out for itself independently, through its own appointed delegation. Shall we be the one exception? It is up to us NOW. Hence the National Equal Rights League gives the Race the chance to get ready to represent itself as a racially mature group in the negotiations, incident to this world war. The League invites and urges Colored people in every community to organize an Equal Rights Democracy League or Committee to send a delegate to the eleventh annual meeting of the League in Chicago, Sept. 16-19, where the paramount issue will be the national organizing of Colored Americans to enforce their claims to world-democracy. It is the only way for our Race to get on a par with the many other races which have one to our country. It is the only way for our race to be in a position to negotiate for terms at the Council Table of the Nations. We must as a Race begin to get into shape right away. As the summer of 1915 is closing let us gird up our loins and get ready to sue for a "place in the sun". Bring back the days of Eliot Smalls Garnett, Langston and Douglass for the great opportunity. Journs with a message growing out of twenty years of work, thought, experience and sacrifice for equal rights and respect for my race. WILLIAM MONROE TROPPER Corresponding Secretary Boston, Mass. Aug. 25, 1918 SHIPPING BOARD PRESENTS SER VICE FLAG This is a letter received by Mr. T. Tribble from Government authorities expressing their appreciation for services rendered: Washington, D. C. April 12, 1915 Mr. T. Tribble 1728 E. 240h St. Los Angeles, Cal. Dear Sir—I take pleasure in presenting to you a service dag of the United States Shipping Board, showing that as a shipworker for the United States Government you are a top-tier war service. It is my hope that this letter displayed in your home, will be an evidence to all who may see it that you are engaged in patriotic work of the highest character. In six months from this date I shall be glad to receive a personal letter from you telling of your experience in this work and making any suggestions which, through the faster and better building of ships, will help us to win this war. Please mark your letter "Confidential." Upon receipt of your letter I shall send you another flag, of the same design as the one enclosed, but made of a cloth material, which I am sure you will be glad to hand down as a token of the energy and loyalty you are contributing to the shipbuilding program of this great world cause. I know you will be happy to have such a service flag for yourself and your family. No one is doing more than you and your fellow shipbuilders to win the war. Every day counts! Every completed ship brings us nearer to victory. And when that great day comes you will be proud of every it of energy you gave your country in helping to build her victory ships. Yours faithfully. Edward N. Hurley. Chairman COL. GEO. H. WOODSON RUNS TRUE TO FORM The following clipping from the Evening Tribune of Des Moines, Ia. will be of more than passing interest to the readers of the EAGLE. Mr. Woodson it is remembered, spent the winter of '16 and '17 in our midst, and for his ability and worth was appreciated to the highest by the people here; therefore, as noted by the following clippings, he is still running to form: Woodson Is on Warpath — Negro Lawyer Threatens Suit Against City of Waterloo. Waterloo. Ia. Aug. 9 — Special: George H. Woodson. Colored attorney of Buxton. Ia., chief orator here on Emancipation Day program, says a local cafe refused to serve him a meal, and as a result has started things. He called a policeman to the cafe and requested him to arrest the proprietor, but the request was refused. The attorney then went to the city hall and stated he would sue the city and the cafe proprietor, and said he intended pushing the matter through. Woodson is known throughout Iowa as a Negro leader and has appeared a number of times in the Supreme Court. He made an address here this afternoon at an Emancipation Day observance attended by over 17,000 Negroes from Cedar Rapids. Waverly, Davenport and other surrounding cities. Col. Woodson's Case It will be fortunate on every account if Attorney Woodson has a complaint against the city of Waterloo for violation of the civil rights law that can be forced against the city, says the Waterloo Evening Tribune. Mr. Woodson is one of the best-known Colored men in the west, with a long and honorable record as a soldier in the regular army, and a refusal to serve him in a public restaurant and a refusal on the part of the city authorities to protect him will make a test case of merit. It is high time that we had it settled once for all that self-respecting Colored people are entitled to precisely the same privileges in all public places as any other people. We still protect them in that right at public school and on the street cars. But everywhere else they bump up against exclusions. Mr. Woodson is a capable lawyer, and if he decides to test his rights under the law, Waterloo will be made the scene of an important litigation. A. P.

Just fifty years ago, or a little more, Since the Black man came to light He's been fighting and praying every day For the cause of "Equal Rights." Just bbecause we are not the wealthiest, With resources of power and might Think what our boys have accomplished For the cause of "Equal Rights". With our boys fighting so bravely And the "Red Cross" doing their might, All striving for one great victory, A flag called "Equal Rights". The great tidings that are coming, Since the Kaiser has taken to flight, Berlin or bust, with a bayonet thrust, And then our Equal Rights". And when this great conflict is over, When the future is justice and right, Around God's throne we shall gather, The home called "Equal Rights". NEGRO WOMAN PHYSICIAN MAKES HIGH MARK Dr. Ruth J. Temple, the Pacific Coast's first Negro woman graduate in medicine and surgery, passes the California State Board of Medical examiners with the exceptional average of 91.7%. This young lady has well merited the scholarships presented her for 5 consecutive years by the Los Angeles Forum. In fact the members of the Forum have honored themselves and the Negroes of the West, in scholarships this young woman. She has done much to raise the standard of the Race by her exemplary college department and exceptional mental capacity as a student. She entered the Loma Linda Medical School, located at Loma Linda, California, Sept. M. 1913, and graduated May 30th, 1918. Her returns from the California State Board examinations, held in San Francisco, June 25th to 27th, censsing her to practice medicine and surgery, were as follows: Per cent Prof. W..R Carter, former principal of Western Tuskegee, located at Topeka, Kansas, is in the city and expects to locate here or in Oakland permanently. Prof. Carter is a wide awake and progressive citizen and in Kansas proved his worth by building one of the greatest educational institutions in this great western country. He was a coworker of the editor of this paper in Kansas years ago and we take great pelasure in well coming him to our midst out here. He is accompanied by his family, consisting of a wife and three children. RACE WOMAN MAKING GOOD The many friends of Mrs. Minnie J. Davis, who recently finished a course in the Civilian Relief Institute at the State Normal successfully passed all examinations, and is now working with the Home Service of the Red Cross. Mrs. Davis is the only Colored woman in the State identified with the Civilian Relief, and her success in this work but spells perseverance on her part. Mrs. Davis' connection with the Civilian Relief at this time not only bespeaks Honor for life and the woman of her race, but also in this connection is able to give succor to ```markdown ``` needy members of the Race that otherwise no doubt would go by unnoticed. The Civilian Relief deals with five elements necessary for complete happiness in life, viz., Health, Education, Employment, Recreation, and Spiritual Development. Let others follow Mrs. Davis' example. Get in and make your service needed by provigin yourself efficient. REV. C. P. JONES ATTENDING GREAT HOLINESS CONVENTION AT JACKSON, MISS. M. Our very own noted and able divine, Rev. C. P. Jones, of this city, writes the EAGLE that he is well in attendance on the great Holiness Convention at Jackson, Miss. The same lasts ten days, from Aug. 26 to Sept. 6, and is attended by delegates from all over the country. They are healing the sick, preaching the gospel. The Doctor wishes to be remembered to his friends and to say that he will return home for the fourth Sunday in September. Though far away, he is at home, and the EAGLE is glad to be remembered, as the Doctor sent his check for our great Lino Rally, and we appreciate the same to the utmost. MASCOT OF THE 15TH N. Y. AND PRIVATE BARON The Colored soldier in the picture is none other than William Baron of the 5th New York Infantry (Colored), and his little mascot, of whom he is very proud. Baron is now in France with his regiment, but at the time the picture was taken he was stationed at Ellis Island to guard the .300 enemy aliens brought there. Baron (he would consider it a great insult if his name was connected with anything German) had been teaching his little mascot that the Stars and Stripes were ever meant to be held aloft, and "Whitey" proved to be a very apt pupil when he posed for the picture with his big friend. Although he was unable to take his little dog with him to help beat the Germans, he is assured that "Whitey" will be flying the flag when he returns. DOES YOUR NEIGHBOR READ THE "EAGLE"? Every Colored person, man or woman, should read their Colored papers; each person should see that their friends and neighbors are subscribers to Race papers. You may ask the reason why. The following conversation, which took place between one of the EAGLE'S advertising agents and the manager of the Western Hardware & Arms Company store, 534 South Main street, will explain: Manager—"I don't need that kind of advertisement." Agent—"You have Colored trade here, and you should help support the Colored papers. We are running a paper for our livelihood just as other races are doing." Manager—"I advertise in the daily papers and the Colored people read them." Agent—"Yes, certainly they read them; but you have other trade and you support other papers; why not help our paper, for you get our trade?" Manager—"Well, I know Colored people read white papers; but do they read their own? You say you have a large circulation, but I don't know how many of your people you reach." Colored people, come together; we must change these ideas. Remember, "united we stand". HARRIET TUBMAN RED CROSS SOCIETY TUESDAY AFTERNOON The Harriet Tubman Red Cross Society will hold a general meeting Tuesday afternoon at the Sojourner Truth Home on East Adams street, and all members and friends are invited to be present. Business of vast importance will be transacted. WHAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION MEANS When you subscribe to a Liberty Loan you subscribe to the sentiment that the world must be made safe for democracy and subscribe to the fund that is to make the world safe for democracy. You subscribe to the belief that innocent women and children on unarmed ships shall not be sent to the bottom of the sea; that women and children and old men shall not be ravished and tortured and murdered under the plea of military necessity; that nurses shall not be shot for deeds of mercy, nor hospital ships be sunk without warning, or hospitals and unfortified cities be bombed or cannonaded with long-range guns. You subscribe to the doctrine that small nations have the same rights as great and powerful ones; that might is not right, and that Germany shall not force upon the world the dominion of her military masters. You subscribe, when you subscribe to a Liberty Loan, to the belief that America entered this war for a just and noble cause; that our soldiers in France and our sailors on the sea fighting for right and justice. And you subscribe to the American sentiment that they must and shall be powerful, efficient, and victorious. Permit me in behalf of California Citizens' Civic eLague to congratulate you and your staff for the recent victory achieved in the nomination of F. M. Roberts on the Republican ticket for Assemblyman from the 74th Assembly district; for truly we appreciate the fact that you and your band of co-workers must be given a large credit for bringing about the above result. This is not only a victory for Mr. Roberts, but a victory for Democracy, a victory for American manhood, and a victory for Godliness, better citizenship and patriotism, for which this League stands. Forward, higher, and many more for your organ and its influence for good. Place me in the column of double boosters for the California Eagle. R. G. LAMAR. California Citizepe Civic League. Through the kindness of the acting Moderator of the Western Baptist Association, Rev. W. H. Tillman, by the request of Mrs. Hutson, we were permitted to finish our report in the evening session of Educational Work of the Baptist State Convenal Work of the Baptist State Convention. We stated that we were going to establish a home and industrial department school in Allenworth, California, for boys and girls, and especially children without a chance, and that Allenworth had pledged us a clear title for all the land we would need for agriculture, and for present use a twelve-room house, and assured us water; and furthermore, the convention had several hundred children already organized in the State, North and South, under the efficient leadership of Mrs. Edna B. Freeman of Stockton as State superintendent, and Mrs. C. E. Norwood of San Diego as secretary of that department, known as Children's Band, with a local superintendent, receiving Christian training. At the close of the report, Mrs. B. J. Barnett, superintendent of the Searchlight Band (Oxnard) stated that the little band had sent one dollar to the fund required to start the work. Twenty-three dollars cash was raised, and a subscription of thirty-five dollars to be paid in thirty days. Mrs. Warren Stearns, formerly of Boston, Mass., but now of San Diego, a prominent Child Welfare worker, was a constant visitor of the Association, and will be with us in the near future to launch the educational work in Los Angeles and adjacent cities. She is another Sister Johanna P. Moore. The Master said, "Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not." Who will help open the doors?
