RACE PREJUDICE GETS KNOCK-OUT IN 74th ASSEMBLY DISTRICT.
Real simon pure democracy if you please reigns in the 74th Assembly District, and on his merits, Fredrick Madison Roberts was on last Tuesday elected to represent this District in the Assembly of the great State of California, for the next two years. Notwithstanding the fact that Roberts won the Republican nomination at the August Primaries in a field of five aspirants, and which nomination is always equivalent to an election; strong efforts were made to defeat him, on no issue other than race prejudice. His independent opponent gum-shoed around the District passing out his cards, written on the back thereof was the inscrip-

tion, "My opponent is a Nigger," all fair-minded people resented this desi- Mr. Gahart, the man who put it in vogue was buried under an avalanche of votes. The final count was, Roberts 2556; Gahart, 1794; a majority for Roberts of 726.
And thus the 74th Assembly District of the great State of California presents a practical demonstration of real democracy, for be it known, without the support of a very considerable part of the White voters in this District the election of Mr. Roberts would have been impossible, while in this District there is a great big colored population, the same does not by any means excell that of the White people, therefore the victory for democracy is clean cut and unquestioned.

FROM THE METROPOLIS.
By Our Special Correspondent
(Dr. J. D. Gordon.
Editor California Eagle:
I promised that my next letter would be on New York and the great personalists. I have met here.
New York, as you know is situated on the Island of Manhattan, and from all indications, the very island seems to be composed of solid stone. Almost form one end of this island to the other, it is built up in mammoth houses.
London is indeed a great city, but I verily believe that this city is now easily the greatest city on earth.
The war adds to its importance and all the civilized world is now looking to New York, for the very necessities of life.
Wherever such greatness is now found, it is very natural, that such a place should appeal to the Negroes for here the world is too busy to be regulated by small things, such as race predjudice.
For some time the negroes came to N. Y. but were embarrassed by not having suitable quarters in which to live. The Jews, with business acumen began to buy these large flat buildings, and any one who had the money could get these homes, and when once they got in the block the whole block, would be abandoned as fast as it was possible for the occupants to find other quarters.
But you could hardly believe it unless you were on the scene to see what is actually taking place here in New York. One is disturbed to see such abandonment of properties.
When you get such a collection of negroes together you are bound to find some worthless ones, but I don't believe you can find just such a gathering of Negroes anywhere else on earth as is found in New York city certainly you cannot find it in the south.
And then one special thing that makes me very proud of the Negro in New York is that he is contesting every inch of human rights due the Negro, and New York is destined to be that great fountain of human rights, from which all other places, will receive decided impulses, of human brotherhood, because he is destined to base all of his ambitions on his enduring and undying devotion to our Nation and it's noble ideals.
In fact the Negro race here is the very center of National devotion to the American cause. I was impressed with Chicago, BUT OH NEW YORK, and especially Harlem in N. Y., not that I would forget thee, dear old California, sun kissed and calm, on the placid waters of the Pacific seas; Thy Orange Blossoms and thy pepper trees, are still dear to me.
If from thee, I am ever led to part, I'll wring and twist, it will almost break my heart.
The outstanding personages in this great city are many, and to point them out is difficult, all depends upon your associates, your location & ect.
But I will mention first Dr. Mackey whose fame as the great medicine man whose medicine works such wonders in the human body, he is received man in this great city he is the best known and most universally the great go-between, his work makes him the friend and brother of all.
Dr. Clayton Powell of the great Absynian Baptist is doubtless the leading pastor, he is ever reminding one of the great apostle Paul who claims to be debtor both to the Greeks and Barbarians. This pastor is noted

ATTACKED BY CRAZED LAWYER.
Sunday afternoon, October 27th Mrs. Madeline Osborne of N. Burlington Ave., was standing on the corner of Adams and La Salle Ave. waiting for the Street Car. A white man, afterwards proven to be a lawyer, who was losing his mind, Attorney H. H. Appel by name; walked up and indignantly inquired where she was going.
Mrs. Osborne told him that it was none of his business. But on looking at his crazed features she became frightened and started out on the walk, to another block to board her car. The crazed man followed her. She turned, saw such an expression of hatred on his face that she ran. The man ran after her. She stumbled on the curbstone and fell. Insanely he held her down and with great force beat her. Helpless Mrs. Osborne lay. An automobile passed with a couple of men in it, they stopped and yelled to Appell asking him what he was doing, at the same time alighting. Appell replied that he meant to kill her. The men tore him

Dr. Hayes of the Mt. Olivet Baptist church is another towering personality in the city of N. Y. He succeeded the great Dr. C. T. Walker D. D. now of Augusta Georgia. Dr. Hay, though still in his thirties has certainly and quickly reached the high water mark of importance. some people say that he is the greatest pulpitite in New York, but this is indeed hard for me to say. On the whole I am greatly pleased with the ministry as I find it in this great city. I found so much more brotherhood and fellowship here than ever I expected to find.

a Collassal Vote Last Tuesday.
Appell it is said by his family and friends has been losing his mind for quite a while. He was once a wealthy Attorney with much influence. By some turn of Fate he lost both and with his property and power, his senses. His family and friends have been subjects to his crazed abuse for a long time. He was taken to a Sanitarium in an effort to relieve him but naught availed, so he was taken home again. This incident occurred within a few blocks of his home. He is a man with a wife and five small children, the eldest only sixteen years of age. Mrs. Osborne is recovering from the attack that might have meant death had not relief come as soon as it did.
October 6, 1918.
To The California Eagle.
Los Angeles, California.
Dear Mrs. Bass:
I can youchsafe in expressing the sentiments of the American forces in the War zone, in saying that we are
happy and in the best of good spirits over our wonderful successes in this great war. We feel that we are displaying the bravery and valor expected of us, and further we are demonstrating the indefatigable strength of America. It is plainly evident that America is one valuable asset upon which hung the, scales of victory and defeat. The Allies are well impressed of this fact and freely express their appreciation of us. The brightest days of the war are at hand, and in the very near future the dreadful Kultur of Prussianism will be entirily suppressed. Already in my short stay over here I am able to reveal the absence of the terrible clouds of horror and chagrin which hovered over these war-stricken countries. After a visit here one is forced to realize that we Americans have much to be thankful for in being-born in a glorious and blessed country as ours. We will never be able to display due gratitude.
I am quite glad indeed to learn of the candidacy of Mr. Fredrick M. Roberts for State Legislature. The news of his nomination as a representative of the colored citizens of Los Angeles is very encouraging to me indeed. "Now's the time to strike the blow" and I am pleased to know, that the good citizens are awake and working earnestly in an attempt to ameliorate conditions in Los Angeles as well as Southern California. This is a splendid step I am sure. If Mr. Roberts secures the undivided co-operation of his own race, all working and boosting harmoniously in a solid phalanx together he is sure to gain the support necessary for his election.
We who are over here have been well assured that we shall have a most cordial home-coming, and this is the one great pleasure we can look forward to with keen interest. Speaking as one of the thousand of Afro-Americans on this side, I am sure I can voice their opinion in saying all we ask in return for our humble services rendered is. First: RECOGNITIO as a people; Second. A SQUARE DEAL. It is up to you who are at home now to secure this for us.
In the election of Mr. Roberts it would well impress one that our hopes are to be fulfilled.
Mr. Roberts is a particular friend of my family, having known him for years, and I wish him every success. I would be eager to assist and boost him with all my might, not because I know him, not because he's a particular friend of mine, but because he is a race man, sufficiently qualified and capable of representing my race in the city of Los Angeles.
It is the honorable duty of every race man in the 74th District to register first, and then vote for Mr. Roberts. You cwe it to yourself and to us who are thousands of miles across the deep to send a race representative to Sacramento in the porso of Mr. Fredrick M. Roberts, especially to those who have recently come to Los Angeles, every citizen has the privileged right to vote in the dear old State of California and unlike some other states, it is looked upon as a disgrue and a mockery to deny yourself of the ballot. Your vote today is greater than it ever was and should by all means not be forfeited. FLOYD G. SNELSON, Jr.

600 E. 39th St. between San Pedro and McKinley. This is the chance in a life time to get a modern well located bungalow. It is in walking distance of South Park, one of the finest parks in the city. Has 6 rooms with built-in bed in the den, writing desk and all modern features. The price is about $700.00 under value. Price $2800.00. Terms $300.00 cash and balance at $25.00 per month. We advise you to not lose a moment's time in securing a home, as property is advancing every day. You can hardly find a modern bungalow under $3500.00 now, and in a few days it will be out of the question to look. There is absolutely no vacant houses in the city today, with people coming in on every train. We believe rents are going up 25 per cent before the winter is over. Rents have already gone up 10 per cent in the last 60 days, and with peace in sight rents may almost double in a good many cases.
There are two of the above bungalows, one at 660 and one at 666; you can have your choice at $2800.00. $300.00 cash and $25.00 per month. You will pay more rent for a 6-room bungalow before two more years. We only have one week to turn these places, so you better hurry. BOOKERTEE INVESTMENT CO. 309 Germain Bldg. Broadway 1498.

2 Tim. 2:9 "The Word of God
is not Bound."
Apprehensive of the wreck and devastation on the battle-field, Death and destruction everywhere, the crisis the groans and the tears of those that go down to death. The death Angel flying through the earth in the name of "The Spanish Influenza," the House of God shut up, while saints and sinners alike are longing for the Gospel of the Son of God, attention must be called to the word of God in reference to these very times. The whole world at this time is blaming the Germans in general, and the Kaiser in particular for the horrid war with all its frightfulness, but no one stops to think and to admit, the plain truth—That sin has caused it al, yes the sins of all the nations, in dethroning the Spiritual, and exalting the Carnal. Lovers of self, lovers of pleasures more than God. Lovers of the money God. Forgetfulness of the fact—"that God hath made of one blood, all nations for to dwell upon the face of the earth." Halfway, make-believe, cold-hearted service of professing Christians. Turning away from sound doctrines and setting up all kinds of "Fads" in the name of Christ's Holy Religion. These things, my beloved people, are some of the causes for the calamity spreading itself over the face of the whole earth. You cannot go to the appointed place of Prayer, but remember the little Text which I send you this day, and read the Bible quietly in your homes, and pray to Him, who is not asleep but keepeth watch over His people. And as you think of the shut up Churches and silent Ministers, you read Amos S: 11-12, and see for yourself if God did not tell us about these very times. No one knows what is next to come, therefore let us be watchful. Com-

FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES.
Cor. 8th and Towne Ave.
Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor
It is the policy of the present administration as already demonstrated—never "to ring any backward bells." But to forever—"press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." And thus we will march forward notwithstanding the fact that the Influenza ban hangs on; and trust in God for the care of His own. And to the end that every essential might receive due attention and nothing be overlooked that would hinder our continued progress. Now after four weeks of indoor-worship, without an effort the Trustees, the Class leaders and Stewards with due authority will secure all donations and dues that our loyal membership will voluntarily share, that the current indebtedness might be "kept up" during these days of the "Flu." As these officers call at your homes or you meet them in the streets they will be glad your kindness to entreat. The pastor will receive any contribution at the parsonage, 1406 Griffin Ave., at any time with thanks. Due credit recorded weekly to the honor of every faithful respondent.
The pastor urgently appeals to all members and friends to observe the laws of health and co-operate in every possible manner with Dr. L. M. Powers in fighting successfully the epidemic of Spanish Influenza, which now keeps our church doors closed and is raging with sickness and death. Avoid as much as you can the danger of contagion by contact. When the ban is lifted we will go

Time like this demands true hearts, great faiths and ready hands. Today when the skill of physicians of the country is baffled by a plague that ordinarily seems but a trifle, comments, protests, complaints, critiques and petitions find their way into the columns of our Newspapers, and they fill the air of every home. I am out of sympathy with those whose actions are narrow or mean, selfish or ambitious, idle or ostentatious but I am of the conviction that this "crisis" should engage the serious attention of all whatever his avenue or vocation.
It has been demonstrated that petition is the most powerful force that a less powerful people can employ, and personally I feel that the time has come for that or some other effective agency, and I base this statement on the following.
If the closing orders are effective they should be further reaching than they are; a visit to the Soda Fountain on Sunday reveals in many places that the people congregate in compact groups, stay as long as they please without masks, or any other precaution and in some places the room is clouded with foul smoke. Further it is not a question about the comparative good or the benefits of the religion of Jesus Christ which has had the church for the principle place of dessimination; the church is as essential for the plan of civilization to which we have attained drygood stores and the like. Further still, with a great many of the churches there is another considera-

tion besides the Spiritual and Moral support which they give to the public. The momentary consideration cannot be minimized in many of the churches any more than it can in other vocations. Further, Dr. W. A. Evans of the Los Angeles Examiner who is an authority states that persons may have a second attack of the Influenza and we can readily conclude that there is no certain termination to the epidemic.
When I consider these and other facts that we might present I cannot see why the churches, the best regulated institutions as far as conduct and manners are concerned should be closed for the common good of all while many other places, less essential, and some questionable, should be left open to help this fearful contagion that has disturbed the equipoise of this war struggling people and hung the "crape" on thousands of doors. I can't see why petition would not be affective in closing other places or opening the churches. Brethren let us pray over this, come to some conclusion and become active.
2 Chron. 7:14-15. "If my people that are called by name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then, will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall open, and mine ears attend unto the prayers that are made in this place."

Although we have not been able eo assemble together for a full month God has wonderfully blessed us and securge has visited our ranks but not fatally. While all around us the sign of mourning can be seen yet we have been spared. As a race also, I think we ought to truly be thankful. In proportion to our population the deaths among us have been wonderfully few in number.
Keep in close touch with the Great Physician of body, mind and soul and He will preserve us.
Too much credit cannot be given our faithful membership and friends for the way in which we have supported the church during the epidemic.

That the church, by divine providence, has been enabled to meet its financial obligations thus far without collecting dues of its members, since the ban has been placed upon all public gatherings, by reason of Spanish Influenza, is a fact which is worthy of congratulations. And that this state of fortune within the treasury of the church, cannot hope to be perpetuated without dues of members forthcoming, is also a fact which needs no question mark.
We therefore adopt this method of acknowledging our gratitude to all

Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor.
Just a word to the members and friends of Ward, in the language of Paul to the Galatians in the 5th Chapter and the first verses, we would say to you: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherefast Christ hath made us free, and during these times when the churches along with the pool rooms, saloons, dance halls and other places of amusement, and public gatherings, have been closed, remember what He further says, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
It is encouraging to note the loyalty of some few of the members, and a number of our friends, while this great epidemic is sweeping the land. God expects His soldiers to be true and stand the fire. These are testing times, and we believe that the church is on trial and God expects the Christians to behave like true witresses.
We especially desire to thank those who have contributed in any way and shown deeds of kindness while Mrs. Price has been so very ill, it will please our many friends to know that she is convalescing at this writing, later we shall be glad to give the the names of those who have supported the cause during these times. Praying that God's choiceest blessings may rest upon each of you, and keep you faithful until the ban is off.

Rehold the day cometh saith the Lord, that I will bring a famine in the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the Lord. And they shall wonder from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it—Amos 8:11-12.
The word of the LoLrd was precious in those days: there was no open vision—1 Sam. 2:1

May every saint of God awake to the importance of the hour. While this crisis in war and unprecedented-same time, placed Christianity before a miror and ordered religion—move up a pace.
The "Prince of the powers of the air" have put to test the faith of the Christian world and now enjoy a feast with the magistrates of a land where the power of God is questioned.
But I am one, who believe that God is the same today as in the days of Ahab and his cotemporaries, and I am persuaded that when this ban is lifted and the morning sun of rifts of flying clouds: we may like the meadow lark of Scotland, rise and as we rise sing and give forth a strain that will awake the echoes of a gone lght and fill the new day with songs of welcome.
It will, one day, be known that the God who was able to spike Austrian cannons, put Turkey to her knees in the plains of Armageddon and bare the head of the Kaiser. is also able to cure a stubborn case of La Grippe. Now, let us come from our hiding places, like the Waldensees Missionaries and the inmates of the "Cata-combs, and Lollards Towers with renewed courage to build again the altars of our fathers.

HON. EDWARD A. DICKSON GIVES OPPORTUNITY
TO THE RACE
Ny jaan in pulilic life in the State of California has quietly
and nore effectively placed the State in the forefront than has
the object of this laudation. ‘The quiet force of*this man was
inore conspicuously in evidence during that period, 1910
1416, when California toDk the lead in the galaxy of states be-
cause of the humape tendencies of its legislation, resulting in
the direct rule of the people.
Durmg that period California set an example for other
States and built for the future. bet it was not until war was
declared that Mr. Dickson was forced out of his seli-sought
secision, and appeared more in the light af the Warwick that
he is. net only in making measures. but also in making oppor- 4
tunities for men of marked efficiency.
California set the pace for other States in its orggnization
vi the State Council of Defense, thereby giving opportunity to
its civilian population to advance the war policies of the nation
in the conservation of man-power and food. The State Council
oi Defense was a happy inspiration of Mr. Dickson, and its war
activities made possible opportunity ior Governor William_D.
Stephens to sueceed in a field of endeavor that has made him
conspicuously the “forefront” War Governor of the Nation,
and his recent triumphant clection is the people's voice of ap.
proval in the State of California.
\> usual the active brain of Mr. Dickson has not been idie;
as usual he has planned for the inture of the people of Califor
Nia, not waiting for other states to set the example he has set
in California the example fur the nation, as is evidenced by the
letters of approval received trom nearly all the Governors of
oulicr states. who though active in war work, it had never oc-
curred t them to hand down to future generations a true his-
tory ot the war activities of their people, an inspiration ior
those whe are to foJlow. Mr. Dickson has given to the people
‘4 this State « History Committee of California War Activities
Which will, make it its business to publish in enduring form an
complete and exhaustive report of the individual and associated
War activities oi the State of California.
And Mr. Dickson’ has not forgotten the Colored citizens’
part in ali of the great war activities of California's population,
he hay given us as the Chairman of the California War History
Committee a sub:committee of our own that will gather and
Preserve Kace activities in this war which are numerous and ef-
fective, that iuture generations shall know that the Colored citi-
zens cuive rp to all of the requirements of the hour.

TENNIS CHATTER.
There were some interesting games played at both the West Side and Alpha Courts Sunday, proving that the National pastime of healthful out-door exercise is growing more popular, with the ladies in the lead. At Alpha two splendid sets of doubles were staged by Mrs. Oliver and Mrs. Wm. M. Watson vs. Miss Gilberta Turner and Miss Fern Caldwell; results 6-4, 4-6. Dr. A. C. Carrott got himself tangled up in a game with Miss Alvena Caldwell, who made him realize that pulling other peoples teeth is easier than winning one's own games in three past sets; 6-4, 6-3, 6-4. Mrs. Frank Williams, Miss Grace McDowell, Aline Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell also helped to make the game interesting, while Eddie Harris punctured the wire fence several times, using Mr. Clark as a target, for three sets; 8-6, 4-6, 6-4.

Since the war it has held out a friendly and helping hand to many thousands of men in the war areas and given them rest and comfort when they were most needed.
"During my recent visit to France I saw evidence of its wide-spread activity and the excellence of its organization, and I am only expressing the common sentiment of everyone in wishing continued success" to the noble work of both the American and British branches of the Association.

Nearly Make Clean Sweep.
Once more the California Eagle demonstrated its ability to pick out the best men for office, and elect them.
We wish to thank the many voters for their co-operation.
Patriotic Club Thanks Voters.
The Patriotic Club wishes to thank its many members also the voters that rallied and supported its ticket.
We are pleased to announce that we made nearly a clean sweep, and will continue to work for the best interest of our people. We had lots of friends that did not agree with us when we started, but we hope in the future that they will think before they act.

SENTIMENTAL VIEWS OF
ENCOURAGEMENT.
Fellow citizens of the Afro American race, lend me your kind attention until the explanation of the small word "Encouragement" is explained so as to bring a new light and understanding to your future life.
The Theology and understanding of encouragement is wisdom, to him that is not a fool.
He that is striving for a successful aim in this world should reserve encouragement from his fellow citizens, especially his relatives, so as to accomplish the good purpose that God created him for, instead of nagging and bringing unpleasant thoughts to tear down his future ideals.
If you can't be a booster don't be a knocker, be silent, and speak not if the evils of your mind have dominion over the inspiring spirits that dwell within you.
The human mind and body is naturally weak, but with harmony and kind thoughts, will gradually mature the mind to the supremacy of the body.
To give encouragement you must first endeavor to first have the inspiration of the affection of your surroundings, so doing, have faith in yourself, then the light of wisdom and knowledge can easily be given to him who is aiming to some successful industry in the world, and the one to come after life is ended, by the departure of the spirit from the body.
Monday, evening of each week is set aside for the instruction to the commissioned and non-commission-officers of the San Diego Home Guards to prepare them to instruct the privates according to the Rules and Regulations of the army.
Thursday will be general drill night for all members, take interest in these drills and you will greatly be benefited in the future.
One of the hindrances of the Afro-American is that he can't spare the time of instruction that is to his interest, but he has time for wayward and frivolous objects that are of no benefit to him in his present and future life.
Come away from that old saying,
"I can't come out, because I have to get up early in the morning." We all do, but you can spare a few hours every week for this worthy cause.
WATTS NEWS
Little Roy Russell, grandson of Mrs. Long of Manhattan St., was buried Friday, November 1.
The Afro-American Watts Branch of the Red Cross is busy making their quota of "helpless case" shirts.
Mr. Lee Copney left this week to take a position at Miland.
Mrs. Betty Copney Pierce is convalescing nicely in Pasadena.
Mr. McClain of Ramsaur Ave. and Mr. Hal Drew and sons of Jones St left this week for Imperial Valley.
Rev. Ramsey and family were dinner guests of Mrs. T. A. White, Sunday, of Abila.
Mr. Beanford, Chairman of the Salvage of our branch of the Red Cross, will call and get your contributions any Saturday afternoon.
Watts schools were opened Wednesday day, Nov. 6th.
Mrs. James Doggins passed away Thursday morning, after, many months of illness, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. M. Gray of B. 37th St.
When will this awful conflict be over?
No one as yet seems to know.
When can they rove the fields of clover.
It will not be until all mankind
Realize that there's a God above
Who does not rule with a rod of iron
But with a heart of love.
We did not like the Chinese.
But we will find we need them too;
We will find a need for every creed.
Before the war is through.
Then there's the little Japanese
Who seems smallest of them all.
Will have to play a prominent parp
Before we wind up the ball.
The Indian will be wanted, too.
With his great big bow shot:
And he can run 150 miles
While a train is getting a start.
And then the Mexicana
With his red hot chili beans.
Can feed the hungry soldiers
With hot stuff that makes them
keen.
Then there's the gallant Spaniard.
Who can charm them with a song.
And set the hearts to thinking
Who are trying to right wrongs.
Then there is Levi Samuels
Who keeps a clothing store;
And if he don't have what you want,
Why go to Ikie next door.
Now last, but not least,
Are the brave, brave sons of Ham
Who will dare to light for a cause
that's right
In any way they can
Though they have been the least considered
Who have done the greatest deeds.
Deeds of crime are accounted to them
And not the pulling up of wild weeds.
Whenever they are called to go
They do not hesitate.
And when a battle is at its height
They have never been too late.
It was Roosevelt's brave black Sammies
Who saved at San Juan Hill.
They have always made good soldiers
And I know they always will.
The Negro's value has not yet been known.
But the day is fastly ripening.
That he will not be hissed and scorned
And will be noted for his fighting.
He has made good in all walks of life.
And all that he has accomplished
Was in spite of awful obstacles
Mingled with care and strife.
The Negro has been counted naught
And his brain considered thin.
But he'll be counted as a man
When there is peace on earth again.
—Jean Carter Cuffee.

CARD OF THANKS
The Roberts Campaign Committee desires to thank all the forces which assisted us in gaining the magnificent victory for the election of Mr. Roberts on last Tuesday. This goes for all the volunteer workers, as well as those who contributed funds for registration printing, etc.
J. B. BASS,
Chairman Executive Com
J. W. GARRETT,
Secretary
POLITICAL POT PIE
Roberts wins easy and Vardman methods receive a black eye in California. Mr. Gayhart how do you feel. Our good friend J. A. Alexander was all smiles Wednesday. What for?
W. O. Tyler is happy. All the judges re-elected. Why not, eh!
They all say now, "I told you so."
One thing reassuring in the campaign just closed, most of the fellows are good losers and have no sore spots. That makes a hit with us, as a grouch makes all of us sick.
Now we shall have a rest on campaigns until the next Spring's city ejection.
Judge Richardson won all right, but it was by the skin of his teeth, as it were.
Stevens was right in the race all the way, only a few more votes would have put him over.
The Senatorial race in the 29th District was red hot. The smoke has not cleared away yet.
Dr. Benjamin Arnett Jordan can now rest easy as the dental bill failed to pass.

If perchance the lottery sharks or any one else of the easy liver brigade think for one moment that the Soaring Eagle has gone to sleep on the job they have another thought a coming. True the campaign just closed has been a most strenuous one, and we have had to forego our vigilance but now we are on the job, we report ready. The Chinese on Central got busy this week for a minute, our courier informs us that it was not the lottery bunk; but the Hop fiends were lining up for their dope, otherwise on the rialto there will be much to report in our nextissue Mr. F. J. White promises a live letter which he says will wake up the snakes in the underworld, and Frank ought to but likewise by the faculty. The SOARING EAGLE.

CAPTAIN W. M. REYNOLDS.
Our Pasadena Correspondent.
A letter received from Sergt. R. T. Reynolds from somewhere in France written on Oct. 14th and received here by his Father on Nov. 2nd taking only about two weeks in transit, tells of his promotion from Corp. to Sergt. and also says that all the Pasadena boys are well and doing fine.
All of his Pasadena and Los Angeles friends are very glad that he is making good as is shown by his three promotions since entering the service one year ago.
Judge O. Overr left Thursday of this week indirectly for Y. M. C. A. war service over-seas.
He will make stops however at Denver, Colo., and Topeka, Kansas en route to New York.
Dr. J. T. Whittaker, Pasadena's Negro Physician and Surgeon has had nearly a hundred cases of the "Flu," both White and Colored in Los Angeles and Pasadena but he has not lost a single case so far. This speaks well for Dr. Whittaker and we are very proud of him.

HAS CHRISTIANITY LOST ITS HOLD IN THE WAKE OF MODERN CIVILIZATION
A casual observation will at once prompt an answer in the affirmative; but a careful consideration of the times and circumstances surrounding the people of this age, together with a view of prophecy, will distract the fact that modern civilization has so modified and re-constructed Christianity. That its place among us offers only social enjoyment to such as would volunteer to come into this band of social reform. It has no special importance—it may be dispensed with at will and resumed at pleasure.
Hence: Christianity has been reduced to a function of social elements dependant upon the degree of intelligence possessed by the "professor of Religion."
Modern Christianity is so adjusted to modern ideas that it can, in no way, interfere with any social function pleasing to the fanciful mind of the "Liberals."
If society desires to engage in frolic, revelry and display: Christianity must acquise or sanction the same. If society desires Sabbath desecration, periodical balls, parlor gambling and clandestine coquetry. Christianity must smile its sanction and bow in submission to the will of an "intelligent age."
We constantly hear the modern civilization wild boast; "the newly developed mind cannot be chained by the 'fogy traditions' of the Elders." Modern Christianity differs from the "tradition" of the Elders in that modern civilization has discovered the "New Birth" talked of by Christianity is a myth, and being made a new creature in Christ by the operation of the Holy Ghost, is inconsistent with modern science, and should be discarded. And that faith in God is a sham. And that love is limited by conditions and restricted to class and color. And that repentance is induced only by scourging. And last, do others lest they do you. These are among the modern commandments.
Such is the exposed ideas of Christianity in this age of high development.
In the Bible we read of a people who lived in what we call "the dark age," who were extremely religious. Their religion rested mainly upon what they called "developmen." The acquisition of wealth and the enjoyment of high class society, the worship of visible objects, and the building of great temples where reside the image of their adored.
Their amusements were the Ampho-theatres, where man and beast met in single-hand combat—fought, bled, and died amid the wild roars from galleries filled with the populace and crowned heads from neighboring empires.
Their feasts were perfumed with wines, their dances were a drunken revel, and their temple worship was an "ogle" to the silent god of silver and gold. We call these heathens, yet they were practicing the tenets of their "high-class religion." The wrath of God fell upon that "high

in attendance each day to sell flowers, the proceeds of which will go for the benefit of the Playgrounds at Grove St. This playground has been given over to the Negro Children by its originator and the Negro Women's Progressive Association will help keep it going. There will be an abundance of flowers and a neat sum is in anticapation by the promoters.
The sale will begin on Monday Nov. 11 and continue all week.
The sermonettes by the Rev. W. H. Tillman, pastor of the Friendship Baptist church that appear in the Pasadena Star-News each Saturday. Evening since the closing of the churches are being read by a goodly number of the congregation and they find them very helpful and inspiring.
The Officials of the Friendship church have given each officer a certain district in which to visit and to worry, and last week they collected over one hundred dollars for the church, and this week they hope to collect enough to pay off the small indebtedness of the church after Sunday. Sunday was set as rally day quite a while ago and the officers hope to make it a success even the church will be closed. The members are responding very loyalty.
class' and only the sainted prophets, who had been exiled, together with a few faithful saints survived to tell the story of a God who changeth not and of a people who had left the "land mark."
An insult to God today, may result in your destruction on the tomorrow Modern civilization laughs at the "old-time religion," but you will remember that Nero, in safe retreat, sang "The Siege of old Troy," while stifling smoke filled the rapidly decaying, huts of Christians, and blackened the face of his own falling towers. Nero met his fate, as did the rebels in that ancient city over which the blessed Christ wept.
Pure religion has been poured into the childron of human ideas, stirred with the spoon of high criticism to the oiling boint, but in the cooling it has been found floating on top of curdling dregs of human skepticism, unmixed and unharmed.
The fire-scarred stake smoked at the setting of a Roman sun, the charred bodies of Huss, Tyndal and their contemporaries, dangled from red-hot chains, the "Gulleton" sent crimson streams to mingle in the tides of distant seas, but the finger of God wrote this testimony and read the same amid clashing empires and crumbling thrones, until, truth got a hearing, the beasts were slain, the thrones cast down and the "ancient of days did sit."
The question might be asked: "Had Christianity lost its hold in that hour?" I answer "No!" For notwithstanding the iron decrees of enraged monarch, and the slaughter of those who had faith in God, the fire kept burning in "Lollards Towers and the Catacombs" until like the rising sun, it crept over the mountain of oppression and shined from above in the vales and chasms, giving life and strength to a creation that lived by the equator and between the poles.
High civilization has subjected Christianity to many insults, but her smiles will are long crumble the retreats of cults and creeds.
Old-time religion would not now to the "Gold cushioned God" in the plains of Dura, nor need the decrees of a drunken monarch whose knees fought each other while the finger of destiny wrote the death warrant amid the glares of firey eyes.
Christianity paves the way for civilization. This was true in other days why not now? Christianity in the exercise of faith in God, wrought miracles, subdued kingsdom, banished disease overturned the reservoir of heaven and brought rain into a superched land. It (Christianity) enabled Daniel to sing Zion songs and brought Naaman back from the Jordan to take his place in the Syrian army.
The history of American colonization cannot be written without giving Christianity "Front page." Plymouth Rock stands a lasting reminder of our pledge to God should we prosper us in this land of the brave and the home of the free. The first act of our fathers was to erect a cross, commemorative of the "Calvary scene."
It was here that the people prayed

for victory over enemies, disease and death, and for a civilization which in its prosperity, would not forget the God who brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Here in these rough log churches, Puritans and Pilgrims fought plagues and, enemies on their knees for centuries. These meeting houses inspired the colonists, troops, sustained Washington in Valley Forge and checked Salem witch-craft and Bacons Religion.
Not a gun fired at Bunker Hill until a prayer went Heavenward to inform the captain of our salvation that right was oppressed. The Worlds peace conference was seasoned with prayer while the churches throughout the nations sang out in glorious strains. Oh' a glorious civilization believing in prayer. Who can forget that proclamation that came down from his highness, the christian hearted and efficient leader; Woodrow Wilson; to the congregations thrust the nation, asking that a time be given to prayer (In the churches) for the success of the American arms on the war torn fields of France.
When the churches fell on their knees, the long ranged guns ceased to terrorize Paris. the Huns line was broken and the American army has since been steadily marching toward Berlin. (The church is Alding.)
And remember.- Prayer from the church, bridged the swollen streams and strengthened the arm of General Aneby on the historic plain of Armegeddon captured the Turks, in keeping with the voice of prophesy and made the Kaiser beg for peace.
Has Christianity lost it's power will the prayer of the "Church folks be heard"? Is God dead, or gone a journey? Where is Christianity? In fact, where is the church in the affection of this nation?
Is it classed with the saloons dance halls, picture galleries and the parks? If we can expect no more from the church than from these, what hope have we in life or death? A general who orders a retreat and with-draws his forces; shows sign of weakness and acknowledges defeat, and the church of Christ is a power against which on foe can stand, why not let the church comp on the front line and charge this dreaded disease (Influenza) seeing that all else has failed to check it? A babylonian king said to three "worthies," who is that God that shall deliver you out of the fire? You remember the answer and the results? So the world is saying to modern christianity, "who is that God that shall deliver you out of this plague?"
Are we willing to come out of defeat and try God at this time?
As a loyal citizen, filled with patriotism, submissive to the order of magistrates and those in authority, and one who believes in God and prays for that for which our arms contend, pledged to do all in the pulpit or in the trenches, I am persuaded that if the present order regarding closing of churches was modified, and those who have faith in God go up to Zion and there plead for this people—marked results will follow.

What the success of the Square Deal Gas & Oil Co. means to the Negro of this Country
Since this company has succeeded in bringing in Real Oil Wells with a gold production, and since it will be soon paying its stockholders a handsome dividend, it marks a new epoch in the financial history of the Negro of this country. It proves to the world that the Black Man is fully able, without the leadership and assistance of the White Man, to finance and operate big business enterprises the same as anyone else. We have a few more shares of this wonderful opportunity left, and it becomes your duty and the duty of every Race-loving Negro to do his bit in supporting and maintaining such legitimate Negro enterprises. It must be remembered, though, that we are not soliciting your support merely because you are a Black Man and because our company is a Negro concern, but because we are here offering you the same great opportunity that has heretofore been offered principally to the White Man. When our company begins paying dividends, which will be in the near future, it will mean prosperity and happiness throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America to each and everyone of our true, loyal and Race-loving stockholders. It will mean better homes for them; it will mean better education for their little ones; it will mean that broader avenues of business have opened for the Negroes, and lastly, it will mean that the contributions to the churches will be larger, thus enabling them to extend forward the work of God. This, my brethren, is what the success of the Square Deal Oil & Gas Company means to our Race. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why we are sincerely requesting you to buy, and encourage your friends to buy, every share of Square Deal stock that you possibly get, while you can buy it at $3.00 per share, as we have only a few more shares left. In conclusion, I hope that you will be true to your God, true to your country, true to yourself, and true to your Race by buying as much as you can of this wonderful opportunity.
