NOTED ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 32 MRS. ANNIE C. WEBBER. Suddenly, in the midst of the most promising of her earthly labors, Mrs. Annie E. Webber received the message that the Master would have her report, and obediently, as a servant who had performed well the task allotted to her, she without much ado and on very short notice discarded the old tabernacle and, enshrouding the soul in the new, unseen by mortal eye, amidst the weeping of children and sorrowful exclamation of friends, quickly responded to the call. "I can't believe that it is true!" "Oh, Lord, can it be?" on every side they are saying, because the ways of God are too far above the understanding of mortals. They weep because they do not know. In thepassing of Mrs. A. E. Webber the world loses one of its most faithful workers to the edification of humanity. In the vineyard of the righteousness, from morning until evening, from the rising of life's sun until its setting, Mrs. A. E. Webber was always found toiling most willingly, most joyfully, doing the will of the Master. Nearly every organization in the city that has for its purpose the uplifting of the fallen or helping of the helpless, had its most faithful worker in the cause, our late friend and sister. As a member of the Second Baptist Church, none was more faithful in its activitie sthan she. The Baptist cause as a whole, will miss her, for foremost in its ranks she stood at her death. She was president of the Woman's Work of the Baptist State Convention, a charter member of the Allensworth Literary Club, Married Ladies' Art Guild. So much did the group of young women who organized the Y. W. C. A. Club think of Mrs. Webber that none other than "Mother" Webber would they have to mother them. A great worker and one most beloved has passed into the great beyond. Active up until thelast moment, Mrs. Webber was returning home on Tuesday evening from her round of duties when she became suddenly ill on the street car. She touched the passenger on the seat in front and immediately lost consciousness. She was taken to the hospital, where she regained consciousness. Later she was carried home and remained conscious until the end, at 11:10 Tuesday evening. Mrs. Webber was a victim of heart disease. WHY I DECIDED TO BE A NEGRO In the columns of this journal of the 28th of December last there was reprinted from the L. A. Sunday Times an article under the above caption, which emanated from a special contributor (whose actual name or address was withheld from publication), who lamented the fact that although his personal appearance was almost that of any white man, yet he had a trace of Negro blood in his veins, and for that reason he had decided to remain a Negro. Two or three of the concluding paragraphs of his contribution as printed in the Times contained his lamentations in the following nonswurful fashion: "It must be a long The California Eagie pull for the Negro. He must make good by a test never held up for a white man, and he must make good for a long time before bars are let down. But in time they will be let down." Again, he bemoans his lot thus: "It is a terrible fate to be a Negro, but it's pains are not so acute as you might imagine." Finally he says: "One can always endure the expected snub. It is the snub where you don't expect it that hurts. The Negro always expects it." In order to put his case before some of you readers, who may not have perused the whole of his article, I must add a few more paragraphs, the repetition of which bear an important connection to some further remarks I promised to continue in this portion or termination of my narrative on the "black man's problem." Speaking of his racial descent as being all-but-white, he said: "We are all Negroes. We can't live with black people; we can't live with white people. We are a race to ourselves." Again he wrote: "From deliberate choice I intend to live all the rest of my life as a Negro." * * * I want to devote the rest of my life to the uplifting of my Race. I think the problem will in time adjust itself. When I look forward fifty years I can see the two races living side by side. They will never mingle in any way. That means intermarriage, and inter-marriage between races is a reversal of the laws of Natura." I might quote from his utterances continuously, but the above quotations will suffice as an Epitome of his whole contribution—and the conclusions he arrived at—that made him decide that he would remain a Negro. Whether his choice has been a wise one is for your readers to consider. Only time can tell us whether he has chosen for the better. Yet I would like to say to him that I feel that he is "mistaken"—or in other words, he has "taken things amiss." I have been a most painstaking investigator of the Race problem—as regards the Negro. I have also been a profound observer of my kind—the Caucasian, the white man. On this subject, otherwise known as the "colour question," I have sought out all the fluent talkers, or the self-convinced dogmatists. Everything that they have admitted or noisily proclaimed, sifted by reflection and reason to the last word of wisdom, has revealed to me that in reality they know nothing about these things when they were probed to the bottom—in the sight of wisdom. Scientifically, this colour question can get no answer from scientific men. Nature throws off the shams of the scientists. Nature, and her coloured races is a riddle without a definite solution to satisfy man's curiosity. Hypothesis follows on hypothesis, the theoretical rubbish heap accumulates and truth ever eludes us. To know how not to know might well be the last word of wisdom. As to the black man's problem, who will give him the Truth? Whose "wisdom" will give him satisfactory answer? Some of your readers will remember similar words related of Pilate, who saith unto Him, "What is Truth?" Let them refer also to Job, chapter 28, concerning "wisdom," wherein it is written: "But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living." To give a white man's version of the black man's problem is therefore, all that it is—a version. Do not expect that I hold the key to the mystery of mysteries—Nature! With the spiritual ideals of Lincoln-before me, in regard to the destiny of the Negro, I can approach this humanely interesting problem in the same state of mind he was in when he said these memorable words: "I do the very best I I know how; the very best I can, and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end before me out THE BEST CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY 3. And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body shall be. 4. But God gives it a body as it has pleased Him. 5.

Among the talent is gaining appreciation among of the day is one Mme.

Sul-te-herself and Race has won the respect of all her associates of themovie world. The madam is a buck and wing dancer and moving picture star with a reputation. On Christmas day she was entertained, along with other artists of the moving picture world, at the home of Charlie Chaplin. Mr. Gauman, proprietor of Gauman's Theater, commented very favorably on her wonderful execution of the dances. So much does Mr. Gauman appreciate Mme. Sul-te-Wan that he has decided to give her an opportunity to display her talent at his Third St. and Broadway Theater. Also we might mention the fact that Mme. Sul-te-Wan has been the star in many screen plays. She is the only colored artist employed in the D. W. Griffith Co. She played a leading role in a screen hit of recent date, "Tarizal of the Apes." (Even the Mulatto, Creole, Eurasian, half-breed, half caste, half blood, who make have submitted themselves to God). 11. And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the Heavenly. * Now you dear misguided, or mistaken "half and half" coloured folks—you Mulattos, Octaroons, and all other "coord." don't be afraid of yourselves, or the so-called white man." None of us are pure. Civil THE OLDEST LARGEST all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference." The man that wrote that article in the Times should first have asked the Spirit of Abe Lincoln for some of his wisdom before he contributed it "to the public" through a newspaper, and I am sure he would have written more optimistically than he did! Again, if he had taken Paul's Letter, 1st Corinthians, 15th chapter, and selected these verses, he would have gotten some wisdom that will never be surpassed in the ages to come. Everybody should read the whole of that chapter, time and again; but I commend it especially to any man or woman who can say: "In my veins is a trace of African blood, for long periods of time I have lived as a white man; no one has suspect- Ours is a Race of artists. High on the escale of art we stand. Among those whose artistic talent is gaining recognition and appreciation among the foremost artists of the day is one Mme. Sul-te-Wan. Mme. Sul-te-Wan prides herself on the fact that she is a full blooded Ethiopian, and any disdainful insinuation on name or merit of her people quickens the red blood in her veins and arouses a tiger-like readiness to defend her own with her life. She belongs to a race of which she is proud, and dares anyone to say that they are not a people with a history and a great future—the Ethiopians. She does not allow herself to be classed as an American Negro; she is an Ethiopian—an Ethiopian American—even as those of French, German or English descent pride themselves on being French, English or German-Americans. Mme. Sul-te-Wan's respect for herself and Race Now here comes a few words of wisdom from a master mind like Paul, the Jew of the Jews. (Any "Half caste" can rightfully claim them for himself or herself). 1. But by the Grace of God I am what I am. 2. Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness and sin not. are they also that are Heavenly. communications have not only corrupted our good manners but our blood has also been corrupted somehow by the "mixing" of the races. As I said in my first portion of this narrative, printed in the previous issue of the California Eagle, I have devoted about twenty years of my life to the question of skin-colour, for this seems the greatest stumbling block of all to me. While it is a most prejudiced objection founded upon ignorance of the real cause of colour, after all my researches or observations in the colored-nations of the world whom I have personally visited and investigated, I have arrived at this final belief: that a browned or black skin is no crime; that sunlight is the cause of the dark colour in the human skin. Therefore, if all coloured mankind were continually to keep out of the bright light they would become pale looking like the Europeans, and their seed would be transformed likewise. In-breeding would hasten the pale-looking colour of the offspring, as I may further on explain, if permitted to do so by the discreet publishers of this mose excellent newspaper. But I want to emphasize again to each and everyone of you, whether you are "black" or "half black," or only have in your veins a trace of African blood—this Natural Truth, namely: "It is no crime to have a skin browned or even blackened by a hot sunny climate, and it is no virtue to have "pinkey-white" skin, the result of a cool climate." Consequently, I am up-in-arms, ready to fight with my pen and my voice, this detestable Race problem or colour question to the last ditch. There was talk of Japan forming an alliance with the Chinese, Hindoos, and other coloured races as against the "whites." But it is dying out. Yet this colour-prejudice must be swept away; or it will intensify. The world, instead, must be made safe for Democracy (God bless President Wilson in his present mission to Europe for this new era emancipation). If the Peace Conference, or the League of Nations, which is now being formulated in Europe, does not bring about one great peaceable commonwealth, which was a suggestion I gave out during my public addresses on this subject, in many countries I traveled through fifteen years ago; this world will continue to be divided and cursed with foolish, inhuman and deplorable wars. Someone said to me not long ago, that if the Negro Race was given "equality" and other rights in this country, they will become proud, overbearing, and aggressive, and will gradually push out "all white people" from their places in this country. I sincerely hope, whether you people get equality or not, that this colour and Race intolerance may never prevail with you, and that the Negroes may ever act, as they did after the Civil War, and the proclamation against slavery; and their "emancipation." They acted with true wisdom, modesty and forbearance; and will take their proper place as an equal, respected, and forbearing people among the many nations of the earth now forming the noblest nation of them all—the Americans. Hoping that the terrible world-war, still raging in Europe and Russia, may soon come to an end with a cessation of bloodshed and suffering for both innocent and guilty, and that afterward right and peace may be eternal, I remain, fraternally yours, "A Man Without a Country." THE ARMENIAN RELIEF The great and pitiful cry of Armenia rings in the ear of every earlest Christian, because they are suffering for the sake of Christ. THE For you I am going to do my very best on Monday and Tuesday Evenings... Meet me at Binchard Hall, at 8:15 o'Clock. A timely film production is shortly to be produced which will go far towards creating a thought in the minds of all seriously thinking white peoples as to whether the Negro Race in the United States is not being unfairly discriminated against. The Photoplay is entitled, "Injustice," and is from the pen of Captain Leslie T. Peacocke, the author of "Neptune's Daughter," the Annette Kellerman feature that that made over a million dollar's profit for the University Film Company. Captain Peacocke has had over 300 photoplay successfully produced from his pen by the various big film companies, and claims that "Injustice" is a story that will make a strong appeal to the colored and the white races alike, and will do much to kill the feeling of antagonism that will likely to be produced which will go far towards creating a thought in the minds of all seriously thinking white peoples as to whether the Negro Race in the United States is not being unfairly discriminated against.

The churches and good people of Los Angeles are this week making a grand effort in the relief of these poor unfortunate sufferers, and we are requested to assist. None knows oppression and suffering more than the Negro, and it is our opportunity to show mercy and thereby prove our hatred of evil and our claim for fair play and justice. As chairman of the Welfare Committee of the Interdenominational Alliance, I urge that all our Churches take an after offering on Sunday, and each Church send same to the headquarters, 719 South Hill St., Los Angeles. BEAUTIFUL HOME WEDDING Wednesday evening, at the home of the bride, Miss A. Reed and Mr. F. Hayvey were united in the holy ceremony by Rev. H. D. Prowd. The home was beautifully bedecked with fern sand carnations of white and pink. The archway beneath which Mr. Harvey claimed Miss Reed as his own and sealed it with a ring, was white, with the chosen flower. Just before an datter the ceremony took place, Mrs. Maris O. Jackson thrilled the audience with beautiful song. The bride was sweetly gowned in shimmering creamy white satin and silver lace. She was attended by Miss Linda Lane in sky blue satin. Little "Iinjustice" has received the hearty endorsement of the Forum, and a committee of some of our leading colored citizens is handling the production. A company has been formed as a permanent organization to produce pictures that will tend towards the uplift of the colored Race, to be entirely controlled by Negroes, employing Negro actors, Negro stage hands and mechanics, and under Negro financial jurisdiction. Captain Leslie T. Peacocke will himself direct the production of, "Injustice," and arrangements have already been made to market and exploit it in every State in the Union and in all parts of the civilized world. Lillian Barnes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Barnes, was the dainty little flower girl, while Master Samuel McAllister bore bravely his burden, the binding ring. Miss Velma Woods played the wedding march. It was indeed a happy wedding. The bride and groom have slipped away to be alone and to consider their new relation—their new life. They will be at home to their friends at 2346 Hunter St. after Feb. 1st. Mrs. C. Halbert and T. Lowery are responsible for the arrangements of the wedding. A BIG DAY AT WARD.

What the Churches are Doing --- AFRICAN PRINCE AT SECOND DAPSTIT CHURCH. Maple Ave., Between 7th and 8th Sts. Our Sunday School was well attended and many new scholars came in last Sunday. A good and appreciative audience was at the 11 o'clock service. The sermon from the words, "They made me the keeper of the Vineyards, but mine own Vineyard have I not kept," will remain long in the memory of all who heard it. There was unmistakable evidence of the Holy Spirit in mighty outpouring which came upon all. The singing was most delightful under the direction of the new Chorister, Mrs. Jackson. Nine souls connected themselves with the Church upon the call of Dr. Prowd, the pastor. The Young People's meeting was really the most spirited for this year. Quite a number turned out and all took part in the exercises. A pleasing addition will be the appointment of a regular Current Topic Reader. Announcement of the reader this Sunday. At the evening service two souls joined the Church. Our believed Sister Whittiker was buried from the Church on Monday, and on Tuesday night our dear Sister Webber passed away. God is truly calling His loved ones home. We mourn their leaving us. Come early on Sunday morning, and come praying for a blessing. In the evening Prince U. Kaba Rega, the noted African speaker, will address us. Be sure to be in time to get your seat. Remember, we will be crowded. THE PEOPLE'S IND. .CHURCH OF CHRIST. Cor. 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P.

Large congregations were present morning, afternoon and evening. The pastor's sermon in the morning on "Waiting for the Manifestation of the Sons of God," was a great treat, which was enjoyed by all who heard it. Four persons joined the Church during the day. The Boy's Conference under the auspices of the Ninth Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. was a great success. Aside from the fine addresses by the boys, inspiring and helpful addresses were delivered by Father Cleghorn, Dr. C. C. Selectman and the pastor. This Sunday promises to be a great day. At 11 a.m. the pastor will preach a special sermon on "Prayer and Missions." Special offering for the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. Do not fail to hear Evangelist THE CONDITION AND YOU. IT IS WISER, SAFER, BETTER AND CHEAPER To build a fence around a cliff, rather than provide a hospital at the base. To help the girl to stand, rather than lift her when she has succumbed. What has the Negro Race to offer its women and girls in the way of protection? In the molding and shaping of the characters of its mothers of to-morrow? In the direction of the vivacity of her youth and in using the accomplishments of her efforts? The answer comes back raw and piercing yet true—"There is nothing to the edification of Negro Girls in Los Angeles. Many places of vice are open.

ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma. Rev. J. E. McCor kle Pastor On Sunday night, Jan. 19th, we will present the first of a series of illustrated messages on "Pilgrim's Progress." This is undoubtedly the greatest allegory ever written on the Christian religion, and is second only to the Bible to he books that have inspired men to better living. "Beginning the Christian Life" is the title of the first series. Have your conception illuminated by that of a master mind, John Bunyan. See these pictures and sing with us by illustration. The work of the Choir, especially in the morning service, is worthy of the highest praise. It seems that the Choirster and pupils have caught fresh inspiration and are singing charmingly to the glory of God and the edification of the congregation. Our services for the past few weeks have seemed like a fresh baptism of inspiration, and indeed it betokens progressiveness in Christian ideals and activity. A splendid program by selected talent from many congregations will be rendered on Tuesday night, Jan. 28th. Will give, fuller announcements in next issue. PASTOR'S SECOND ANNIVERSARY The second anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev. A. P. Shaw at Wesley Chapel M. E. Church of this city will be celebrated Sunday, Jan. 26th, with an all day's service.

All members are expected to contribute two dollars on this occasion. Our many friends are asked to give two dollars, two half-dollars, two quarters, two dimes, two nickles, or two cents to make this day a great success. All persons who have profited in any way from the work of Dr. Shaw while in the city are urged to remember him in this way on his second anniversary day.

The sermon was full of the spirit and the people were made to rejoice as the word of God was preached to them. The pastor also preached at the evening service, at which another spiritual treat was enjoyed. The official board of the Church held a very interesting and enthusiastic meeting on Monday night at which time a great deal of enthusiasm was displayed in the plans being made for the "Out of Debt" rally. The services on the past Sabbath proved very satisfactory to all who worshipped at the Church. Dr. D. R. Jones brought us a splendid gospel message at the morning hour, to the delight of all of his hearers. It was quite pleasing for the pastor to see a number who had been sick or disabled to find their way back to the service again. The ladies auxiliaries are beginning to hold their weekly meetings, and the outlook is very promising for them. The services for next Sunday will be as follows: Sunday School, 9:30 a. m.; the Allen Endeavor Leagues, Junior and Senior, meets at 5:30 respectively; preaching at the morning hour, 11 a. m. and regular evangelistic services at 7:30 p. m. The Men's Progressive Movement Club has a splendid treat in store for Los Angeles public at this Church at 3 p. m., at which time Dr. A. P. Shaw will preach their anniversary sermon, and Dr. J. L. Craw will install the newly elected officiers. And other Los Angeles, Cal 10 DELIVERY ministers of the city will participate. Mrs. C. A. Bass will act as mistress of ceremonies. The public is invited to come and encourage these men in their splendid work. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. F. C. Cothran, Pastor. "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us by the way." The pastor spoke at 11 a.m. upon the subject: "Christian Propriety." He took for his text these words: "That thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the House of God, which is the Church of the Living God, the pillar and ground of the Truth."—Tm. 3:15. Showing beyond the shadow of a doubt from numerous passages of Scripture that Christians were the "House of God," the pastor proceeded in pointing out vividly and forcefully their proper decorum. The Church felt highly gratified and elated in the presence of visitors and friends. who were in attendance at both the morning and evening worship last Lord's Day. Few of our members are detained by illness. We pray God that this baneful condition may soon pass. Hear R. R. Turnage in chart sermon next Lord's Day evening 6:30, on New Testament Church.

The Methodist Ministers' Alliance met Jan. 13, 1919, at First A. M E. Church, Rev. J. W. Price in the chair. After a brief session, in which many thing so vitia lim importance were discussed, the ministers went on record as opposing the proposed detention home for delinquent boys of the Negro race. The minitsers have pledged themselves to always oppose anything that (Continued on Page Seven). Mme.

At Labor Temple Hall on last Wednesday evening was held the public installation of Columbia Lodge Knights of Pythias of this city. Honored guests for the occasion were: Supreme Chancellor, Ashbie Hawkins of Baltimore, Md.; and Geo H. Gordon, Supreme Keeper of Seals and Records of Boston, Mass. The occasion was one long to be remembered. Aside from the very pleasing exercises of installation, the Supreme Chancellor, Ashbie Hawkins, made a most notable address, which pleased to the utmost. Mrs. J. H. Walker sang most beautifully an dresponded to an encore. Grand Chancellor Jaap Soares acted as master of ceremonies, and indeed the Knights of Sacramento acquitted themselves with the highest credit and honor. Mr. J. B.

Mrs. Ida Davis arrived in the city last week to attend the-beside of her daughter and son, Mr. and Mrs. E. Treece. There are quite a few new arrivals in Santa Barbara. Mrs. Hattie Burton spent a few days in the city. Here is a poem by A. C. Wagoner, Co. F. 25th Infantry: I have heard the bullets whistle. I have seen the bolo kill; I have heard the war-tribe chanting From their outpost on the hill. I know the plague smell of Manila and the Chinces wily way. And what it means to beasoldier, Here for fifty cents a day. But my sheart is sad and weary, And I wish someone would say There's a transport in the harbor And you're ordered home today. I have seen the Moro in the palm tree Murder shining in his eye; Heard my bunkie calling mother As he is laying down to die. Seen the fateful mark of black death On the man just gone along; Felt the hot breath of the leper In the panic-stricken throng. So the wanderlust has left me And I wish that I could say. There's a transporti n the harbor, And I'm ordered home today. I have seen the dusky boatman In his casco passing by, And the muddy weeping waters Where the Spanish warships lie. I have slept in running rivers; I have hiked up burning hills; I have sat and shaked and shivered With the levers and the chills. All the Oriental jewels for those sim- Hark! I hear a siren moaning Out beyond Honolulu bay. It's an old grey army transport From dear old U. S. A., And it's calling, softly calling me To come across the sea Where a mother and sweetheart long And look and wait for me. All my soldier days are over ```markdown ``` THE CALIFORNIA-EAGLE San - - There's a transport in the harbor. And I'm ordered home today. SAN BERNARDINO NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH . Sunday was a great day at the New Hope Baptist Church. Sunday School was well attended and the lesson instructive. Rev. Ross brought the message. He preached from the subject, "Life's Railway." The sermon was enjoyed by all present. The B. Y. P. U. also had a very interesting meeting led by Mrs. R. C. Anderson. Pastor Reed preached at the night service, having returned from Los Angeles, where he had gone to deliver an address at the Boys' Conference under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. He preached from the subject, the "Sickler Sickleth." It was a memorial sermon in honor of Colonel Roosevelt. At the close of the sermon the door of the Church was open, and two came forward, one for baptism. For thelas t two Sundays we have been blessed with converts. On next Sundy there will be baptism. Pastor Reed will preach at both services. The baptising will take place immediately after the morning services. Mrs. Georgia Venerable, the esteemed wife of J. Venerable, was laid to rest last Saturday. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. A. Hough of the A. M. E., of which she was a member, and Rev. G. W. Reed and Rev. L. C. Ross. Kenneth Johnson, Lawrence Johnson and Eugene Anderson attended the Boys' Conference in Los Angeles last Sunday. Eugene was elected secretary of the Conference. Rev. Reed, the pastor of the boys, was there to look after them, as also was Mrs. W. S. Johnson, mother of the Johnson boys. Aftermath of the Emancipation Parade. Since the Emancipation parade several signs reading, "we cater to white trade only," have been removed. Employment in two places has been thrown open to the Race, where they had not been employed before. It would mean much to the Negro race if these kind of celebrations were held everywhere in this country. The drivers (white of the float representing the reconstruction period said, "Our fathers fought for the freedom of the colored people. We know they would be proud if they could see this demonstration today." Supervisor Kindall: "I did not know that there were such a fine and respectable lot of colored people in this town. Judges Rex Gracell and Curtis drove cars in the parade. DOINGS IN STOCKTON Stockton has donned the flu mask after Friday, Jan. 17th.

Mrs. Crawford was only sick a very short time. She leaves a husband, son and brother and two sisters. Mrs. Marrallias died Jan. 3. She was a pioneer of Stockton. She leaves two sons and a daughter. SANTA MONICA. Miss Edna Heard appears to be the favorite musician among the wealthy set of the Santa Monica High School. When this set plans an entertainment or reception, Miss Heard usually furnishes the music for the occasion.

A SOFT ANSWER TURNETH AWAY WRATH, BUT GRIEVOUS WORDS STIR- ETH UP ANGER. For a number of years the men's Forum has been an exceedingly pleasant Sunday afternoon resort, and there is no earthly reason why it should not continue to serve this purpose. Now, to our mind Mr. S. Oliver, the present president of that organization, even though he is not a University graduate nor does his words fall thick and fast, is a clean-cut gentleman, a remnant of the old school chivalry, gentle in spirit, and ever ready to doff his hat to ladies or pay tribute to the Caesars, who come and go like the birds from a snowy clime. For these and many other reasons we feel that Mr. Oliver should not only be respected, but honored by especially the younger Forum goers, even when things are not going their way. The truly great man is the one who faces failure and adversity with self restraint, and when wrath from one who would persecute, is poured upon him, he turns it aside with soft words. COLORED GIRL MUST QUALIFY: Efficiency, accuracy, and punctuality are the chief assets to success, not only in business or professional walks of life, but in every work. From time to time our attention is being called to the fact that few of our young women can actually qualify as office helpers. Some it is said, have been properly trained and are capable of doing the work, but they are unreliable; if they are due on the job at 8 a. m., report at 10 a. m., or as the case may be; anyhow, they are at least an hour late. They may know how to space properly on the typewriter, but it's easier to hash copy through without payin gany attention to the right way; to them the easiest way is the best, and off they go, never realizing that possibly through their carelessness they are causing their employers to lose hundreds of dollars in business. We realize that Race preju- dice confronts us upon every hand, but in spite of this, huge impediment in the way of our success, let us, as wer ethe wise Virgins, have our lamps always trimmed and burning, for we know not the nour when the doors of opportunity in all walks of life will be flung wide, and only those who are efficient will be able to enter in and enjoy to the fullest extent equa lopportunities in business and other walks of life. THE PECULIAR MISSION OF THE NEGRO JOURNAL The Negro journal shoulders graver responsibility than any other so-called Race or class journal in the country; first of all, it is impossible for this peculiarly classed journal to cope in volume with other journals; for the average Negro journal is launched on faith, while other sare launched on finance. Hence, the popular question asked by its readers is, "Why can't we have a newspaper like other folk—as a rule the persons who ask this question would not spend two dollars per year on a Race paper, but borrow, their neighbor's long enough to pick flaws—they complain about the type not setting straight up or some person's name being miss-spelled or the diction or rhetoric not according to the best authority. As a rule they close their critical remarks in the language of a disgruntled deacon by stating that those folk just won't do—now, that's all. However, the Negro journal, humble as it is today, is the only outstanding champion of the Race. Its mission is far-reaching. Not only does it make sentiment for better conditions among its own people, but reaches out and now and then turns a white enemy into a black man's friend. The peculiar problems that confront the Negro people in this country today affecting their peace prosperity and happiness, as a rule, go unnoticed by the majority of the big dailies. Ye knockers of any Race enterprise, bury your hatchets and get in the big booster's band wagon, in order that when the big bear, Prejudice, shall have been killed in this country—you can truly say, "See what we did!" AT THE STATE CAPITAL. Under the Dome of the Capitol. Special to the Cal. Eagle. In our last letter we indicated the pacifianism incident to the organization of the two House sof the Legislature, but since that time much history has been made by the 43rd session of California's Legislature. The one big measure which has thus far outshone all others has been the ratification of the Sheppard Amendment to the Constitution of the U. S., and on this occasion all hands were on the job, and easily in both Houses (the dry forces running true to form), did the self-same Amendment go over the top. And California, the Golden State, thereby has joined the great procession of dry States, that will ultimately make the United States bone dry. Roberts on the Scene of Actipi. Assemblyman Fred M. Roberts put in his appearance bright and early on Monday, was sworn in, and from that time on, answered roll call and cast his first vote as the first member of the Race to sit in the Legislature of this State, for the Sheppard Amendment. 'There was much speech-making; in fact about six hours of it, but Roberts being bran new and vet physically weak, was content to vote and was not heard from along oratorical lines. More Representation Accorded Race. Since our last letter, Rev. W. M. Dixen of Bakersfield has been sworn in as a committee clerk. It seems that this year the Assemblymen have seen fit to give more recognition to the colored voters. Mrs. Dorris, a woman, represents Rev. Dixon's district and she did not hesitate to give her patronage to the Race. With three attaches in the Assembly and a like number in the Senate, is a vast improvement over previous session of this body. Some Prominent Members. The sessoin so far has not progressed so that a line on the forceful speakers is possible, but just enough to see that it certainly has the markings of the same. Hon. Bismark Bruck and Assemblyman Greene starred for the wets on the Sheppard Amendment, as did Bennett and T. M. Wright for the drys. Frank Merriam, the old warhorse from Long Beach, is a top-notcher. He kept up Roberts' end by getting in the Assembly record each day his excuses on account of illness. Then we haev Assemblyman Goeting from San Francisco, as quiet as a lamb, unless you start something, when he is heard from in no uncertain form. Assemblyman Wendering, who was a reading clerk two years ago, is one of the young members and promises to become a great force in this session. W.J. Doran is still on the job from San Diego, and often heard from. We miss this session Gelder, Harris, Smith, Marks, Jimmie Ryan Friedman, and others. Chief Clerk B. O. Boothby, has been on the sick list, but is now back at his desk. Asst. Sergeant-at-Arms, J. B. Bass, has been battling manfully to keep going. C. W. Wilosn has also been suffering with a severe cold; and others have been involved more or less with various attacks of sickness. Everybody here are wearing masks. In our next letter we shall be able to, in all probability, give our readers a line on some very important legislation. LETTERS TO CAL. EAGLE. Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 13, '19. Editor of the Cal. Eagle. Dear Sir:—First—I want to congratulate you on your great improvement of your printing-matter, and especially the editorials. Second—I desire to speak a word concerning a woman worthy of emulation by any young woman who is not ashamed to be identified with the Race. A woman of culture, who spent ten years as principal, and resigned to take up this work of our best schools in the city of Louisville, Ky., a woman with stirring personalities, a great gospel preacher who has but few peers as a Bible student and a soul winner. Could I say that this woman is scholar and orator graduate of Livingston College, Saliabury, N. C. of the Moody and the Gypsy-Smith type, the old-time fire gospel. She came to us Sunday, Dec. 15th, and closed Jan. 12th, with sixteen converts and ten reclaimants added to our Zion, twenty-six in all. The fact of the whole matter is that every one of the twenty-six joined our Church, making a total membership of forty-seven. God be praised. This revival is said by us in the city history.

It is hoped by anxious parents and friends of the Pasadena boys in the American Expeditionary Forces of the 365th and 367th Infantry that they will soon be on their way home. --- Mrs. Walter Bruce Willaims, president of the Community Auxiliary, American Red Cross, made a very urgent and intellectual appeal to the different Churches on last Sunday, advising them not to relax in their support of the Red Cross at this time, maintaining that their money, and especially their services, are needed now more than ever, as the home-coming of the thousands of sick and wounded from the battlefields increases the responsibility of our Red Cross here at home, and many things are needed for the many hospitals throughout the country. She also announced that the future meeting place of the Auxiliary will be at N. Raymond Ave. and Chestnut St. The Rev. W. H.

The first book on reconstruction has just been published, and it is by a western man known all over the world—Dr. David Starr Jordan, famous scientist, scholar, educational leader and executive, peace advocate and publicist. Dr. Jordan tells why he was in accord with President Wilson in waging war in Germany; and then tells how democracy may be now insured for all people forever. There is nothing that savors of "pacifism" in this book. It is a clear, straightforward, convincing argument for democracy, versus autocracy, recognizing fully the dangers and pitfalls in any system of government, and yet showing how much more dangerous it is to try to avoid these dangers by renouncing the task of self-government. The book is courageous from start to finish—and surely optimistic. The arrangement of topics and the selection of material are excellent. The book moves along with cumulative persuasion from general of the Church devised a new and novel way of giving the children their long delayed Christmas greetings. As the ban was on up to Christmas, there was no opportunity to prepare the children for any Christmas exercises whatever, so now they have turned things around, and on Thursday evening of this week the old people gave a concert and entertained the children, and the Sunday School took this opportunity to distribute boxes of candy to the little folk. An enjoyable time was had. Next week is installation week at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. The Church will] install their new pastor, the Rev. Mack Allen. Beginning on Sunday morning, Jan. 19th, and continuing each evening during the week except Saturday evening and will close on Monday evening, Jan. 27th, with a reception. At 3 o'clock p. m. on Sunday, Jan. 26th, the Rev. S. W. Brooks, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Los Angeles, will preach the installation sermon. considerations to particular illustrations, with five chapters on the political and legal aspects of democracy. In Democracy and World Relations, Dr. Jordan gives in simple language one of the most complete expositions of the methods and aims of democracy, and its relation to problems of nationalism, nationality, colonial administration, diplomacy, and internationalism. He shows that democracy is not a finished product, but a growing concern. It does not guarantee good government. It is merely the gateway to a good government, but the only one which can lead to it. Democracy rests on freedom and order, neither an end in itself, but both essential to justice. And justice is not something "that is or was, but one that is to be." Society has achieved justice when each man and woman is free to make the most of life. The greatness of a nation rests on the welfare of the individual units. In contrast with the ideals of democracy, Dr. Jordan presents a searching analysis of its opposite, the dynastic state. He shows how the power of Germany has been built up by sinking the individuality of her people. Every autocracy rests on fear, intrigue, and superstition, and this volume shows how these evil factors have been woven into the fabric of German efflicency. In a supplemental chapter is described the growth of the Pangermanist League, the political-economic-military cancer which has eaten into the heart of Germany. The cure lies in the awakening of the German people, their recognition of their betrayal by their rulers and by their own mediaeval conceptions of government. In this manner, the author brings into vivid contrast the government by the people as individual human beings, and the government of the people as a herd of sheep. In the final chapters is given a simple and clear exposition of the meaning of the League of Nations. Its existence depends on democratic initiative and its continuance on the spread of good-will and conflation, inevitable when the tap-root of war, the dynastic system of government has been eradicated. Just as the individual man in civilized society has to give up something of his individual independence for the common welfare, so must the nations abate the rough edges of their sovereignty that the peoples of the world may maintain the "bearable life." The general tenor of the book is in line with the high ideals of cooperation as set forth in the recent addresses of President Wilson, ideals which must put an end to international anarchy, and which must form the basis of the coming world peace. The volume deals not with the war but rather with conditions which preceded it and those which are to follow. It w as originally planned as a textbook or reference book for high schools and colleges. It is written in a candid, non-controversial spirit, befitting such purpose. DEMOCRACY AND WORLD RELATIONS, by Dr. David Starr Jordan, Chancellor of Leland Stanford Junior University. Cloth.

Bass. On last Monday at high noon, with appropriate settings, the 43rd session of the Assembly of the great State of California was ushered in amid scenes of keen interest and great enthusiasm. One of the events looked forward to was the fact that for the first time in history a member of the Negro race was to be present and sworn in, but fate had decreed that such would not be the case, as Assemblyman-elect Roberts, the convalescing, has remained home another week in order that he might gain additional strength before making his trip this way. Of course the same fate has robbed the people of the grand "entree," as it were, the spectacular, the psychological moment, THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details.

J. H. Cuffee. Prop. certainly loses a great and grand opportunity. The writer thought long and well when on last Monday the occasion of resolutions and respect and regard for Colonel Roosevelt brought forth and a few mediocre remarks from just two members. It was the case of opportunity, who birthed the Square Deal Slogan, All Men Up and No Man Down, Door of Hope, Inspiration; highly deserving of anything that can be said of him, and yet no one except as mentioned came forth and delivered. However, the session is just getting ready to do business, and it will be probably the middle of next week before the same is organized. In the meantime they all crane their necks at Desk No. 61, the rear of Aisle No. 6, looking for the "Color for the Occasion." The daily papers so far have been very liberal in their mention of Mr. Roberta. They give him highest credit and expect much of him; also the different members likewise. So much is expected of him, and it is to be hoped that he gains in strength so as to live up to all these expectations. His friends all know that he will be equal to the emergency and make good adventure. The convening of the joint session on Tuesday was the occasion of canvassing the last November votes for Governor and Lieut. Governor. In the afternoon was the inauguration of the Governor and his Lieutenant. Both of them made ringing speeches, which were heartily applauded. On Wednesday the Governor personally appeared before the joint session and delivered his biennial message. It was indeed a strong State paper and was received with tumultuous applause. In the Senate likewise a keen interest was manifest, with many new faces, among which is our genial and brilliant young statesman, the Hoh. Chas. W. Lyons. He is one of the coming men of California, and all we have to say yis just watch him grow. Senator轨 is a graduate from the Assembly. He is true as a die. Noticeable as Senator H. H.

As usual, there is quite a demand at the legislative ple counter, and so far it seems as though many will score. Each Senator has been allowed to place two persons on the pay roll at 5 per, and each Representative one at the same per diem. On the House side, among the lookers-on for juicy plums, who are expecting hourly of hearing their name called off in connection with one of these positions, are Dr. J. M. Reddle, prominent and influential divine; Sherman Overton of Los Angeles; also H. Douglas Greer of the same city. On the Senate's side, C. W. Wilson and Chas. Olivier. All of these, it is said, have a cinch in landing. and it can be truly said that there is a disposition to be fair and square and to give everybody a square deal. We are expecting the same procedure right on down the line. We expect to see the administration to give more recognition to the colored citizens than any in the history of the State. So do not be surprised when you hear of a real good and important post going that way. Read our next week's letter for the latest developments. Assembly Chamber, Sacramento, Cal. January 14, 1919.
