SHAW ELK3 TRIFIES 15000 HEARERS The talk of the town this week has been the great speech delivered by Rev. A. P. Shaw at Exposition Park on last Sunday, when he, as a part of the program, delivered the address, "Rooseelt and the Negro." True, there were other great and noted orators, but not one showed to greater advantage than the tall giant who had been selected for his duty in the person of Rev. A. P. Shaw, pastor of Wesley Chapel. It is estimated that 1500 persons were present, and as he proceeded each one leaned forward so as to not miss one word which fell from his lips. At the close of the same he received an ovation. Rev. H. D. Prowd, the learned and polished pastor of the Second Baptist Church, and the resolutions for the Ministers' Alliance. The following is the speech in full delivered by Rev. Shaw; also the resolutions read by Dr. H. D. Prowd. ROOSEVELT AND THE NEGRO. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor Wesley M. E. Church. Master of Ceremonies; Ladies, and Gentlemen: I count it a great honor and a high privilege on this occasion made possible by the true spirit of democracy among us, to express here and now the sincere appreciation of the 25, 000 or more Negroes of our beloved city, for the illustrious citizen whose life and achievement we commemorate here today. The wealth of the world consists not only in the products of its fertile fields, rich mines, prolific factories, and it accumulated savings stored away in the vaults of its safe banking institutions; but it consists most of all, in the quality and character of the men and women it produces. The world's great men are gifts of God to all humanity. They transcend the bounds of caste, class, race, and even of time and space and become the common heritage of all men in all ages. Abraham, the Jew, is ours because we believe in the same God in whom he believed, and with him have become the heirs of God's eternal promise through Jesus Christ. Booker T. Washington, the Negro, belongs not only to his own race, but to all men who love a man that came up from slavery to a place of leadership in the industrial education of the world. Abraham Lincoln contributed not only to the greatness of his own race nor to the welfare of his own nation, but he became a factor in the world's uplift when he became that fearless spokesman of human freedom. During these marvels The California Eagie ous times, thank God, men are being made in larger than racial and even national molds. All kindreds and nations and peoples and tongues will become the beneficiaries of the splendid achievements of Lloyd George and General Haig of England, Clemenceau and General Foch of France, and our own beloved John J. Pershing and Woodrow Wilson. The man whose memory we revere here today was larger than the race to which he belonged. He contributed not only to the welfare of the nation which honored him with the highest office in the gift of her people, and what is better still their highest esteem; but his splendid service has been a blessing to all peoples everywhere. And especially has he been a blessing to the race to which I belong. Yes. We Neirces are here because we delight to honor all great men. If this service were held in the honor of a man of small calibre and sympathies we would not add color to this assembly with our presence. But when any race produces a man, who on account of devotion to righteousness and a square deal, rises above the narrow confines of race and class sympathies and breathes the pure atmosphere of equal justice and opportunity to all men; when any nation produces a man of such moral courage, stamina and power as to put into practical operation the lofty ideals of our modern civilization; when any race produces a man dedicated to that splendid democratic doctrine and practice of "All men up and no man Down," you may rest assured that the colored people delight to honor him, and when gone, to reverse his sainted memory. Such a man was Theodore Roosevelt, that hero who would dare— "To struggle in the solid ranks of truth; To clutch the monster, error, by the throat; To bear opinion to a loftier seat; To blot the era of oppression out. And lead a universal freedom on." Such a man was Theodore Roosevelt. "The man's man, the hero's hero, the American's American." O Theodore Roosevelt! We love you because you first loved us. We honor you because you first honored us. We cherish your sainted memory because you believed "That the times are too big to warrant small motives," and I add, unworthy actions. You tell us that our Black Boys saved your life in that wild charge up San Juan Hill. We tell you that we would freely sacrifice ten thousand lives to save one life such as thine. You spoke your last words to one of us saving. "Turn out the light, Jim: LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 15, 1919 THE OLDEST LARGEST and LOS ANGELES, CA E G Mac OUR ANNIVERSARY. If you note the number and volume of this issue you will discover that we are entering our 31st year of journalistic activity in so far as the California Eagle is concerned, and for the past nine years as far as the present management is concerned with this particular journal. We feel that in that time we have at least been helpful in accomplishing some things for the good of the people whom we serve; we also feel that we have demonstrated the fact that the people are with you when you really "Do Things," and we are not yet satisfied; we are determined, along with the people, to keep their interest ever before us, and fight to the finish along the lines which we have stood for in the past. We are not unmnidful of the fact that we are due a celebration, and during the year 1919 we will issue our Anniversary Number and conclude the work incident thereto with a master celebration, of which due and timely notice will be given. I'm in for a bit of sleep." We say to that which is mortal of you, sleep on and take your rest beneath the sod and the dwe, for we are assured of the fact that your strenuous spirit so accustomed to activity cannot die; and that your soul so full of the love of God and humanity is still marching on and your illustrious works will ever follow you. RESOLUTIONS OF THE ALLIANCE Read by Dr. H. D. Prowd. We the Committee of the Interdenominational Colored Ministers' Alliance beg leave, most respectfully, to offer the following Resolutions on the death of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt: Whereas in the death of Colonel Roosevelt the American Nation has lost its favorite son, and chief leader, And whereas our interests hopes and aims, are always identified with those of all the people, so likewise our sympathy, in this the day of the Nation's great sorrow. Be it therefore Resolved—That in the death of this eminent and inimitable citizen, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, the Alliance speaking for all the Colored People of Los Angeles, California, deplores the loss of the strongest, most conscientious and fearless defender of human rights and liberty, Be it further Resolved—That in everlasting remembrance and appreciation of his manifold utterances and kindly interposition in behalf of the Colored People whenever it appeared to him right to so act, We regard and mourn his death as that of the Negro's friends. Whereas every good and perfect gift is of Almighty God, and all things and all men are at His disposal, the Alliance would bless, adore and praise Him for the gift to the Nation of Theodore Roosevelt: And now bow in humble submission to the will that re-called him, Be it Resolved—That the deep sympathy of the Colored people be, and is hereby tendered his bereaved widow and family: And that a copy of these Resolutions be spread upon the Minutes of the Alliance, and a copy forwarded to the press. Roosevelt is gone—but his spirit still lives. REVS. A. P. SHAW, H. D. PROWD, W. T. CLEGHORN, F. C. COTHRAN, E. E. LIGHTNER, Committee.

To the editor of the Cal. Eagle:- May I not be permitted to express through your columns my profound appreciation of the record of Assemblyman Fred M. Roberts of the 74th. Assembly district, as evidenced by the Assembly semi final history which has just come to my desk? A careful perusal of this history justifies me in the statement that Assemblyman Robert's record to date places him among the top notchers of the 43rd. Assembly, approaching his as Assemblyman with the consciousness that his duty lay along the line of the best interest of all the people of the state of California and was not confined to his own district, or solely to those of his own race identity. Mr. Robert's record gives the lie to those white Americans who have contended that a Negro American could think only in terms of black." Witness the following committee assignments enjoyed by Mr. Roberts, which speak of the esteem in which his ability is held by the speaker of the House, Hon. Henry M. Wright. Corporations, Libraries, Motor Vehicles, Municipal Corporations, Normal Schools & Public Charities and Corrections Again as to Mr. Roberts fine sense --- of public duty, be it said that he has introduced 17 bills whose nature and scope speak eloquently as to the Assemblyman's worth and ability. Bill No. 307 appropriates money for the department of Sanitary engineering for the next two years. No. 337 authorizes certain Superior Judges to appoint secretaries. Bill No. 338 has to do with the redemption of lands sold to the state for taxes. Bill No. 339 charges the grand juries on the matter of their examination of the books of public officials. Bill No. 340 has to do with the duties of the tax collector in his reports to the county Auditor. Bill 491 has to do with the theft of motor vehicles, motorcycles, etc. Bill No. 492 provides for the organization and control of elementary school Cadet companies. Bill No. 691 Amends the law as to the issuance of high school district bonds. Bill 692 enables the county treasurer to refund moneys erroneously paid him. Bill No. 693 proposes the placing into the California law the very efficient New York Civil rights bill which provides for severe penalties for those who practice race discrimination in public places. Forum Gives Remarkable Demonstration Last Sunday Honoring Memory of Col. Roosevelt. The Forum last Sunday was the scene of a remarkable demonstration in honor of the memory of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. Packed to the utmost, the people joined in with the sentiment expressed that he truly was the greatest American, and resolutely stood for a square deal for all mankind. It was really a true representative and Democratic audience which faced Editor J. B. Bass, who was master of ceremonies for the occasion. He led off with a spirited address as the opener for the exercise. Among other things he said that among many friends of a Race which has fought every inch of the way for civilization, "three" stood out in bold relief as the true friends of humanity. Each point was received with the greatest enthusiasm as he recounted the days of old John Brown, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. Then Prof. Eason gave a splendid and scholarly address on the deeds of Colonel Roosevelt. Sergeant Wm. Thompson, who was a member of the 24th Infantry when the memorable charge of San Juan Hill was made, and which regiment saved Colonel Roosevelt's life, made a short address, which was appreciated to the utmost by the large crowd. A. D. Lacey related many reminiscences of personal observation of Colonel Roosevelt when a Police Commissioner in New York City, which was both instructive and illuminating. Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth was then introduced for the address of the day, and for 45 minutes he most forcibly and eloquently presented his subject of "Personal Reminiscences of Colonel Roosevelt." Mr. Macbeth, personal and intimate acquaintance, (Continued on page 7) W. E. Easton Delivers Address on Roosevelt at Violet St. Schools Under the especial management of Mrs. Lee, Directress of the Violet St. Playgrounds, an excellent program was followed for the Rosevelt Memorial services last Sunday. There was a flag raising, the singing of "America," "Star Spangled Banner" and the favorite hymn of the late distinguished dead, besides a piano selection by Miss Hilda Baker, and one also by Miss Jamison. Mr. Easton, Historian of the War Activities of Colored Californians, was the speaker of the occasion, and he delivered what was conceded a masterly presentation of the great public services of Theodore Roosevelt, citing him as the very highest type of American citizenship, who would not close the door of opportunity to any American citizen simply because of race or color. He told of the $1 great THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT. ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 1 UL t Playground Limbs When Police NG FROM CONFESSIONS OF On last Wednesday at high noon Beatrice Stuart and Georgia May Smith, aged 12 and 13 years respectively jumped from the second story of a hotel building at 11th and Central Avenue. This was not an exhibition jump either, but was caused as a result of the Landlady of the hotel discovering them in room 20 which room is occupied by Ben Smith, a well-known Tonsorial Artist, who holds down a chair in a shop in this same building. The landlady, Mrs. McGarrity it is said, when she saw them in the room, told them that she was going to call the police and locked the door. With egress barred from the way the girls made their leap, in doing so, one of them broke her leg, the other her arm; notwithstanding these injuries they made their way to 16th and Hooper, where they were later found by officers Glenn, Stevens and McDuff. These officers happened to be near the scene and soon took up the trail resulting as above. Policewoman Mrs. Georgia Robinson soon took charge of the girls and the girls confessed that they were in the room of Ben Smith and that Smith and Joseph Dyer had misused them. Smith and Dyer have both been arrested and are in the County Jail in default of $2,500.00 Bond each. They will be arraigned early next week before Justice Walter Hanby. The girls are in the County Hospital. I. HAROLD BROWNING, TENOR, IN RECTAL MARCH 17, 1919. There has been some change made in the big recital to be given March 17th at Blanckard Hall. Instead of Mrs. Sinclaire Tyler, Violinist, assisting Mr. Browning in this joint recital, Mr. Browning has arranged it so as to give the public a more varied program and has secured a young Collist and Pianist to assist him on March 17th. Since Mr. Browning's arrival from the East he has been working on a scheme in which to give to Los Angeles a real high-class, interesting and varied program. It is guaranteed now that the Collist and Pianist will enable his program to be one of the finest of the season. Mr. Browning has just received three of Harry Burghigh's new Spiritual Songs and will sing them for the first time on his program. Everyone is preparing for this event and the Polly Anna Girls who are presenting Mr. Browning have sold a large number of tickets, so don't wait but get your tickets now and remember the date is St. Patrick's Birthday, March 17th, at Blanckard Hall.

It was Young People's Day, the 19th anniversary of the Allen C. E. League, as well as the 159th anniversary of Bishop Richard Allen, and a great day it really was. From the time Sunday School began, in the morning until late in the evening, it was a continuous round of joy. Revs. G. W. Reed, W. J. Dentler, John E. Hall and C. J. Lockhart gave ten minute talks, and there were solos, anthems and just plain music, readings and instrumental music galore. It was a huge success from every angle, due to the eoffrts of our enthusiastic president, Mrs. J. E. Muckelroy. Redlands visitors who appeared on the League program were Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Beal, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Scotland and Miss Dorothy Nash. Riverside visitors were C. J. Lockhart, Messrs. Williamson, Stokes, Miller and Chas. M. Tucker, who appeared on the program. Mr. Tucker is private secretary to the commandant at March Field. Miss Ruth Ingram gave a delightful surprise party last week for her mother, Mrs. Mary E.

Ingram, our chorister, after five weeks of illness, is now on the road to recovery. Benjamin Anderson, one of our San Bernardino boys now in the service on the U. S. S. Brutus, writes interestingly to Rev. Hughes telling him of one of his recent trips at sea and how dangerous it sometimes seems. He has not forgotten, however, his early training, as he says he trusts God to take care of him on these voyages. Little Mary Emma, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Ingram, is on the sick list. The home of Mrs. T. V. Beck was the scene of simple but impressive memorial service for Mrs. Georgia Venable, who had been a tireless worker in the Golden Gleaners for several years. R. J. Venable, the husband of Mrs. Venable, and Mrs. Moore, were present; also our pastor. Mrs. Jessie Johnson entertained the Mite Missionary Society at its regular monthly meeting Friday afternoon. Our topic this month, "The Missionary Society an Educative Agency," was discussed by Rev. Hughes, Mrs. Laura Roten of Redlands was the guest of honor. After an interesting business session, in which it was decided to have a penny social on March 7th, light refreshments were served. Mrs. Johnson was recently elected vice-president of the Society.

Say have you noticed the editorial page of the Evening Express, if you have you will agree with the California Eagle, that it is great. Remember that the world's war will have been fought in vain if the democracy won does not mean to the blackman what it means to the white. We fought for Liberty, and stinted for Liberty and consequently we expect in the future the fullest possible amount of Liberty; in other words: we must have Liberty without discrimination. Governor Stephens is at home, that means he is in the city of Los Angeles, and the people are glad. Governor Stephens has made several very important appointments recently which are to be highly commended, especially the appointment of Hon. Stanley Benedict to a place in the State Board of Control and a vacancy oh the Supreme Court by Judge Olney. If a man fails to support his family involuntarily, he loses the respect of his fellowmen; if he voluntarily neglects to do the same thing, he goes to the penitentiary. Why not give the men their jobs back and thereby give them an opportunity to make good on the job caring for their families. Another thing worth mentioning there are positively no Negro I. W. W. or Bolsheviki. Theodore Rosevelt was not forgotten by the race on the date set aside for his Memorial Services, as three of the race delivered orations on that occasion: Dr. A. P. Shaw at Exposition Park, Atorney Hugh E. Macbeth at the Forum and Wm. E. Easton at the Violet Street Playground. The Forty-Third Assembly of the State of California made no mistake in naming Hon. W. J. Leflar for the responsibility of Sergeant At Arms. Mr. Leflar possesses all of the requisit qualities for the office he fills. He is firm and at the same time kind in carrying out the orders of the Speaker and enforcing rules and regulations governing the Assembly, Well liked both by the Assemblymen and his subordinates. In fact it is generally conceded that Sergeant At Arms Leflar is the ablest man who has ever filled the position in the knowledge of the oldest Assemblymen and Attaches of the famous Forty-Third Session of the California Legislature. Leflar is there with the goods! It is now reported that the people of Paris, France, who a few weeks ago were lauding President Wilson to the skies, are now accusing him of being Pro-German. France is demanding her indemnity first from Germany and the other Allies demand that all should share alike in German payment of indemnity to the victors in the late war. It seems the President is of the latter opinion and agreeing along these lines with Great Britain, is now in bad repute with France. The President will return to the States on or about the 20th of this month. We have been told that some of the vice protected parasites have some skeletons that they are desirous of bringing forth, and are only waiting for someone to have the temerity to call attention to their status in the community to do so. Now so far as we are concerned if they will let us know just what they want us to do for them to come forth with the goods, we should be pleased to accommodate them. We have for nearly a quarter of a century stood on the firing line and this modern artillery of the vice gang has absolutely no terror for us. Let the Colored man stop this petty jealousy and get together. For instance see the shoel that Union Labor is raising throughout the world, it is not because the overwhelming majority of the people labor outside the Unions, but it is because Union Labor means that the few well organized for a common great purpose are always prepared to combat for what they believe to be their rights. Lets get together as never before, for during this period of the world's reconstruction, the Negro only as a united people can hope to come to the forefront in the enjoyment of equal opportunities. The smatterings of ancient and modern languages as well as a general reputation for literary genius, will get you absolutely nowhere unless it is used in the right way; we know of a Dr. of medicine who is now running as a Pullman porter out of this city, who only a few years ago enjoyed a lucrative practice in one of our largest cities, but he was constitutionally wrong, failed to square to his calling or to his learning and the result—he got nowhere. We know of many other college graduates who are in the same category as well as men who have, with an assumed superiority over their fellowmen trudged along; but they have got nowhere, and they never will except they "Right About Face," and get wise to themselves. TALKING WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW A doctor offers a reward of One Hundred Dollars as an incentive to make an object lesson of irresponsible and idle talk while we are writing from a wholly impersonal view point, it is well to call attention to the fact that too many of our people are prone to talk assuredly of things they know nothing about. Some time ago we met a man who told us point blank that one of our best known attorneys had been slain only 30 minutes before, and he vouched for it, when as a matter of fact, we met this same attorney shortly afterwards laughing at the canard which had gone forth; and other as ridiculous lies often go forth and the rub comes where it seeks to trifle with a man's or woman's reputation, then it makes trouble. The fact that a patient should die of heart disease in some doctor's office could not by any stretch of the imagination be the cause of serdid and ridiculous stories, and intelligent men and women should forever eschew talking what they don't know. COURTESY highest pinnacle of efficiency will be reached. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers. The attractions of this bank have no equal in this city. First of all the management of this bank must be congratulated for not screening off the view of the public, as thousands pass daily, looking through the great plate glass windows of this magnificent banking room. Seeing it as they do, it is like an open book to them. There are hundreds who are not satisfied with this alone, but have a great desire to know more of this great institution. On account of its easy approach from its five entrances they enter, and naturally they expect to find efficient service which would be in keeping with its surroundings. And it should be the desire of all to look out for strangers, meet them, get acquainted, and in a kind way give them such information as they wish to make them feel that this is the bank to do business with, invite them to look over the different departments. This alone is a great advertisement for the bank, as there are so many people that would be delighted to be shown through, but are not aware of the fact that they would be allowed the privilege, but when once this is done it is one thing that gives the stranger confidence. By this the bank has made a friend, and friends bring depositors. All can take a part in this invitation. The opportunity may come to the Teller's window sometime. If so, then see that someone shows them through. In this way, much good can be accomplished and many will be added to the already long list of depositors. There cannot be too much courtesy shown to strangers. Sometimes it means thousands of dollars to the bank. Strangers coming into a bank of this kind expect to meet a "live wire," so to speak, and not a clam. Thy are found where there is more water, and not in a bank. The nature of the clam is to move slowly, and more or less shut up tight. Don't be a clam to the stranger. The little things are what count, and it depends largely as to how they are performed. Some little things destroy big things. Little sticks of wood overload a horse. The torpedo boat sinks the big ship. See to it that no act on the part of any employee will bring reproach on the good name of this great institution, that has taken over twenty-five years to make it what it is today. "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." The old saying is, "Give a dog a bad name and yau may as well hang him." You have never seen him suck eggs, but the next door neighbor says he is guilty of it, therefore it is passed on down the line, and the dog might as well be dead. Push a small boat into mid-stream Big things grow from small beginnings. From the acorn grows the big oak. From the mustard seed comes a great tree. Also from a small beginning the Security Trust and Savings Bank has grown from a small bank to a giant in the financial world. There is a little inconvenience that all might become more interested in as complaints have been made at different times. A customer gets to the wrong window at times, and he is told to go to some other window. This can be easily adjusted if each one will give more attention to this a little thing, as some see it. When in a few seconds a good nimble step would put the customer at the proper place and save him the embarrassment that it must be to a customer.

The officers are to be commended for their efficient and prompt work in this instance, and particularly Policewoman Robinson. The condition which obtains and the large area covered it seems to us demands that at least one more Policewoman would be of vast assistance in her work, and result in the saving of many of our young girls from ruin. From what we can learn the parents of these girls are hard-working and respectable people; they were firmly under the impression that their children were in school every day, when as a matter of fact the officers on looking up their school record found that they had not attended school since December 12th. This incident should be a warning to parents that they cannot be too careful and should at all times know the whereabouts of their children. The men charged with this offense if guilty should pay the fulest penalty possible provided by law. Smith is said to be 43 years of age and Dyer 37 years.

The boys were, indeed, a model set of young men, and proved themselves a credit to the Race and eligible to be entertained in any respectable home. Mrs. E. R. Hutson, president of the Negro Women's Council, was present, and also Mrs. C. E. Norwood, secretary of the N. W. C.; Mrs. Johnson of Los Angeles and Miss Gwindy Logan, daughter of Mrs. E. R. Hutson, presided at the piano. Conversation and instrumental and vocal music constituted the enjoyment of the evening. The following young men were present: Walter Johnson, Baltimore, Md.; Robert J. Warner, N. P., Rhode Island; Robert Pinkney, Naples, Maryland; Raymond Foote, Philadelphia; Herbert N. Johnson, Philadelphia; H. Carter, Washington, D. C.; Joseph A. Satiffield, New York; J. O. Stallings, Northfork, Va.; N. C. Jones, Virginia; Roy Nickerson, Missouri; Joseph Walter Kemp, Philadelphia; H. P. Hollman, North Fork, Rhode Island. Dr. Wm. Seldon, Persiding Elder of the Los Angeles district of the colored M. E. Church, 29th and National Avenue, San Diego., will have the grand opening of the said Church on the fourth Sunday in February, at which time the general public is cordially invited to attend. One of the most elaborate affairs of the season was a tea given at the home of Mrs. J. W. Rowland, 1914 Sonoma St., in honor of Mrs. J. W. Stangley of Portland, Ore., and Mrs. E. E. Mitchell of Oakland, Cal. The dining room was beautifully decorated in pink carnations and maidenhair ferns. The color scheme was in pink and green. Mrs. J. W. Price assisted the hostess in receiving; Mrs. J. Ward poured the tea. The ices were served by the hostess. Place cards were laid for the following guests: Mrs. L. J. Williams, Mrs. E West, Mrs. J. Ward, Mrs. J. W. Price, Mrs. J. W. Stanley, Mrs. E. E. Mitchell and Mrs. D. E. Ross of Benicia, Cal. Music was enjoyed throughout the evening. A surprise party was given last week to Mrs. Cable by the ladies of the Helping Hand Club. All enjoyed a pleasant evening. Mrs. Cable has been on the sick list. A program given by the Negro Women's Council Wednesday, Feb. 26th, at Castle Hall on 6th St., in honor of the sailor boys on the Minneapolis, from 8 to 10 p. m. Rest of the evening will be given over to the young people. Admission 25c. The B. Y. P. U. at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church was well attended on last Sunday evening, there being about fifty young people present, and their deportment throughout the evening was par excellent. The evening's program was very interesting. There were also, in the audience three sailor boys of the U. S. S. Minneapolis who were introduced to the B. Y. P. U. On next Tuesday night, Feb. 18th, there will be a joint program rendered by the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School, after which refreshments will be served by the Deacons of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The services were good all day Sunday at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Rev. P. E. Robinson preached a soul sitring sermon at 11 o'clock, and at 8 o'clock Rev. Green of East San Diego preached another good sermon. Refreshments were served after the program. Santa Barbara's church1going people had the privilege of attending Church last Sunday for the first time this year, owing to the flu ban being on since the last weekin December, 18-19, and though it was a bad rainy day, it is reported that every Church had a very good congregation. The Board of Health has been raising the ban for the last two weeks, lifting it off the schools first, then the Churches, and this week the movies and other places of amusement, so the city is alive again. Mr. Julius Jones, one of Santa Barbara's leading tailors, is on the skirt list this week. We wish for him a speedy recovery. Mrs. Hattie Burten returned to her home last Monday after spending five weeks in the city, at the home ```markdown ``` Lieut. Frank E. McCarter and Mrs. E. Hudson spoke a few encouraging words in behalf of the good work. Stop, look and listen! Notwithstanding the knock from some of our "fogys," the "All-Star Minstrel" will appear for the first time on the stage at the Illusion Theater, Fifth and Broadway, having for its directors Mr. G. Ramsey and Capt. R. C. Plenty. O, you ignorant "moss-back," if you can't boost for the cause, don't knock, as there are just as good men taking part in the minstrel as there are behind the pulpit, or in the amon corner. Watch your steps, O, you hypocrites! God sees your good work, if not man. Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Robinson have moved to their new quarters, 1039 K St., this city. Sunday, Feb. 9th, the Boy Scouts of San Diego had their Roosevelt memorial service at the Masonic Hall. Boy Scout Master A. L. Brown, who is the promoter of the Scouts, has received many discouraging remarks from the "old heads" towards teaching these boys the principles of Democracy, but with the help of God, and the earnest work with these boys, we older ones will have to wake up and take lessons from these loyal and brilliant boys. Encourage these boys and Mr. A. L. Brown, with the foundation that he is building for the benefit of the Negro. Rev. E. M. G. Mulholland preached a very interesting sermon not only for the benefit of the Scouts, but for all. The white man has it; the black man is to get it. What? Justice, Freedom and Money. But lay low and saw wood! We will have it soon. Mr. E. J. Freeman met with an accident by running his machine into a barb-wire fence, but is improving. Mrs. Minnie Bease is recovering from her operation nicely, but is still at the anitarium. Don't forget to register, if you have not registered since Jan. 1; register now. Miss Alberta Johns, who has spent a year in San Diego, is returning to Austin, Tex., on a visit, and will visit friends in Los Angeles on her way. The Brotherhood of the A. M. E. Methodist Church and the N. A. A. C. P. had a program Sunday afternoon celebrating President Roosevelt; and also Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The program was, indeed, excellent in every feature, and was presided over by Mr. W. D. Cleveland. The program rendered was as follows: Opening song, "America"; "Roosevelt as a Citizen," by Rev. G. W. .Woody; song, "How Firm a Foundation"; "Roosevelt as a Soldier," by Mrs. Jack White; song, "Onward Christian Soldier"; "Roosevelt as a Statesman," by Mrs. Chas. Dodge; solo, by Mrs. James Harris; "Roosevelt as a President," by W. D. Saunders; Paul Lawrence Dunbar, by Mrs. W. Cleveland; song, "Star Spangled Banner." The Texas Social Club will have their regular monthly social Monday evening, Feb. 17th, at the residence of Mrs. Nathan Robinson, on Union St. All members are urged to be present and bring a friend. of the Rev. H. B. Thomas. Mrs. Burten lives with the Arneal family at Camerillo, Cal., and she is making good. Mr. John Arneal came to the city twice while Mrs. Burten was here to see how she was getting along, as her business here was to have a lot of dental work done. Mrs. Burten bought $400 worth of Liberty Bonds during the last Liberty Bond drive here. Let us all make good; also make friends wherever we are, by doing our full duty and trusting in God to guide the other fellow to do likewise. Last Sunday was a great day in Zion. At the Mt. Olive Baptist Church every service was well attended, and Rev. Thomas preached like he had been off on a vacation. At night the rain was falling very hard, but people came out between showers. Two joined the Church, and Pastor Thomas said it was very well for a start in the new year, as it was the first ser- vice this year, but we must make this year a red-letter year for Christ; so every member come out and come regular and help by filling his or her seat. Mrs. Parks and daughters have moved back to Los Angeles. Mrs. Parks has been sick since the death of Mr. Parks. She was sick when he died, and as soon as she was able she returned to her former home in Los Angeles. While in this city they made a host of friends, and the girls were found in the Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday School every Sunday. We miss them and hope for them the guidance of God's own hand. If you wish to know what is being done by our people, and we say all other people—well, just read the California Eagle. Every colored person in the State should take it. * The foregoing poem will demonstrate the fact that W. H. Shores (Daddy) has no monopoly with the confidence of the muses, for the fact that the recent history of the Security Bank in poetry composed by "Daddy Shores" and published in this paper in our last issue has been answered by no less a personage than the president of the Security Bank in the person of Mr. J. F. Sartori. One day this week Mr. Shores was called before the directors' meeting of the bank, and the president read to him the following lines from his own pen: Our Bank and "Paddy" Shores Our Bank has changed— In place of painted pine, Linoleum and iron wire, we have Rare marbles of Numidia, Mahogany and massive bronze. But Shores, the faithful, is the same As when, one morning three decades agone He made all clean, and opened up Our doors, for those who sought— SECURITY. We now present great areas of space. Long rows of wickets. His round of duties at the northeast door. Watchful, attentive, always with a smile, A friendly guardian, symbol of— SECURITY. Our Bank has spread— Its lines of service now include, Protection, safety, kindly counsel, Guidance in Life's difficult affairs, Help for the Nation, State and Town. Like Shores, philosopher and friend, Who guides our visitors, cheers the day With homely wit and wisdom A working model of— SECURITY. The foregoing lines, written by one of our uncrowned poets, are dedicated to William H. Shores as an appreciation of his good, faithful and continuous services to the Bank, from Feb. 11th., 1889, the day its doors were first opened by him, to this date, Feb. 11th, 1919. Security Trust and Savings Bank. And now, after all, it goes to show that real worth, honor and integrity will always gain its reward. Just to think, these eminent men of large affairs will take the time to demonstrate their appreciation for a man who, though in an humble capacity, is encouraging not only to the man himself, but to all who are acquainted and have read of the same. They not only did this, but as a further mark of appreciation, they remembered him in a more substantial way by way of presenting him with two 50-dollar Liberty Bonds, one for himself and one for Mrs. Shores. We are proud of this spirit, and truly there is a reward to the faithful; long live "Daddy" Shores; long live the Security Bank. ROBERTS RECEIVES OVAATION. On last Tuesday evening the large auditorium of Wesley Chapel was comfortably filled when the reception in honor of Assemblyman Fred M. Roberts was given by the Roberts Campaign Committee. There was no attempt at a program; the committee desired to give the people a chance to hear Mr. Roberts' report of his work thus far in the Assembly. This he did to the satisfaction of all present; interesting, indeed, was the story of his work to date and as he finished, the hearty applause freely given demonstrated that the people were very much pleased. At the conclusion, of the program a banquet was served in the banquet room of the Chapel. The affair was indeed a creditable one, and the committee deserves great praise for it's effort.

An American Policy Having passed through its part in the great war, America now knows what a great National emergency is. She knows what it is to give her time and energy and money and boys to meet a world crisis, to go over the top on behalf of a great cause. She knows that it could not have been accomplished by a chosen few, it needed the assistance of not only a few thousands, but of millions. She knew that she had a man-sized job ahead of her, and that it would take all the man power and every dollar that could be gathered to help crush German Kultur. She could not discriminate. Every drop of blood counted, every man who was physically fit was called or notified to be ready to be called to the assistance of the Allied cause. All this to spread throughout the world, the grand and glorious freedom that has been merged into the one word—DEMOCRACY. But is this not an over-worked expression, deluding many, leading us on to believe that when such is distributed, many of the world, who have been dazzled by its supposed uplift will find that it was but a phantom, a ship that passed in the night, merely used as a decoy to help us lift the white man's burden? There is before America today something more important, a moral emergency, a spiritual crisis, greater and more momentous than the confrontment of the world war. There is reconstruction of our own American civilization that is ominous. The problems of the world are the problems of practical democracy, and the problems of practical democracy are th problems of a real and vital and practical Christianity. Take the American Negro. The question uppermost in the minds of every race-loving negro is what does the future hold for the present and coming generations? Are we forever to be the pawn of the white man's hated wrath, the poor miserable victim of his prejudice, which forever pursues and crushes, leaving us a charred mass in the smouldering cinders of the pitiless, heartless lynchers? Cannot Christianity scent the trail, the trail that leads to justice and equal rights and privileges for all humanity, rid the cracks and crannies of all things intolerable, and give us that which we have rightly deserved for years and justly earned by the brave Negro soldiers who but recently went over to foreign lands and won a place in the hearts of foreign nations? Surely our own powers that be are not asleep to what we deserve, and we cannot imagine for an instant that the American Eagle with his wary eye will let go over his head and roost in other nests valuable prey that he could so easily have retained for his own purpose, by simply administering a little JUB-FICE that will not put anyone out of the way or cause humiliation to a single official!

(Continued from page 1) accomplishments of the Roosevelt administration, including the beginning of the Panama Canal, Japanese-Russian Peace treaty and the 15 measures recommended by President Roosevelt that have since become the law of his country. The speaker was frequently applauded and concluded his oration by reading the Roosevelt pledge of true Americanism, which the large assembly, standing, repeated after him. The Pledge is as follows: "In times of Peace as well as War, I pledge myself to the service of my country and dedicate my life to its ideal of Equal Opportunity and Justice for all." Though the audience was very largely white, all of Mr. Easton's references to Roosevelt's true friendship for the colored Race were received with great applause. FORUM GIVES DEMONSTRATION enabled him to give to the people much information which strengthened their firm belief that of all, he truly, was the greatest American, who lived and acted the Square Deal for all. No one who heard Mr. Macbeth on this occasion, be he friend, enemy or foe, will withhold the fact that his effort on last Sunday was one of the greatest ever put forth by any man at any place. And truly, the Forum reflected high credit as the leading civil organization of this great western country when it, on this occasion promoted and held this great meeting. PRAISE FOR ASSEMBLYMAN ROBERTS. (Continued from page 1) He has also introduced Bills NO 694, 695, 817, 818, 819, 820 and 816 also 983. There is not a single "Tool measure." in all the above, each bill is intelligently designed to advance the welfare of the average California citizen. The colored citizens may well be proud of their first legislative representative. In F. M. Roberts the state of California has a public servant of whom they may not be ashamed, but of whom they may well be proud. HUGH E. MACBETH 221 Lissner Bld. Los Angeles Cal.

Mr. Wm. Mat Solomon who has been employed at the big Model Grocery Store for about ten years, and who has shown himself so efficient as a janitor, has been so attentive to his duties that during those ten years the company has advanced his wages again and again and has also given him many other duties besides janitor work to do about the store and he has always made good. The management notified him a few days ago that they would employ another janitor, and that he, Mr. Solomon should assist the clerks in one of the very busy departments of the store. The colored people of Pasadena of whom a large number are patrons of the Model Stores are very appreciative of the action of the management in recognizing the highest faithful and trustworthy services of one of the race, more especially so as Mr. Solomon is one of our most progressive men, and is a very public spirited Christian young man, and in every way worthy of the confidence placed in him by his employees. The Union Memorial service held at the First A. M. E. Church at 3:30 last Sunday afternoon was a very successful affair. The Rev. Wm. Prince who acted as Master of Ceremonies had selected an array of speakers that seemed to please the congregation and their eulogy of Colonel Roosevelt embedded the memory of that most illustrious soldier and Statesman deeply in the minds of their hearers. Those who spoke were: Rev. Mrs. Palmer; Rev. W. H. Tillman; Rev. B. J. Jordan; Judge Oscar O. Overr; Prof. J. C. Moore; and Rev. J. F. C. Taylor. Prof. Wm. R. Carter was a visitor and read the Scripture Lesson. Members from the First A. M. E. and the Friendship Church Choirs made up the Chorus that sang very effective and appropriate songs for the occasion under the direction of Madame Corine B. Hicks, who is the Chorister of the First A. M. E. Choir. Sunday was a great day at Friendship Baptist Church. The Sunday School at 9:30 was of unusual interest. Superintendent Troy is earnestly laboring to bring the school up to normal in numbers. The historical review by the Historian, Brother A. H. Evans was very instructive, as the lessons which are being studied now have great historical settings, and any person desiring to know more about Bible History should avail themselves of this opportunity of attending the Sunday School now. Judge O. Overr and Prof. Wm. R. Carter were visitors and made very timely remarks, which were well received. At 11:00 o'Clock the Rev. Wm. R. Carter one of the new resident ministers of Los Angeles preached a wonderful and inspiring sermon on the good Samaritan. A beautiful life of unselfish service was portrayed by the speaker in a vivid manner MEMBER OF HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH PASSES OUT. It is sad, but "God's will" must be done" on earth as it is done in heaven. The link of Household No. 3309 has been broken.

To the Editor of California Eagle: Dear Sir: Just a few lines to let you know how the California boys of Co. A 815th Pioneer Inf. are enjoying camp life. Our Mess Sergt., Robert C. Burnes of San Diego is keeping us well supplied with Coyn Willie and canned Gold Fish, while his Chef Cook, Fernando Daily also of S. D. mixes it up with a little water, warms it up, making a Hungarian Goolash and has the Bugler to sound Chow Call. Burns, better known as Rough-house is as fat and healthy as ever; growing the hottest little mustache that ever the Great Charles Chaplin would look on with enny. He is no doubt going to trot it back to the States as a seaworthy from the way he is put it. - which was enthusiastically received by the audience. The Choir which was out in full for the first time since the restrictions were lifted rendered excellent service in song. A very successful B. V. P. U. session was held at 6:30 p.m. A splendid attendance, and an interesting and helpful study and discussions of the Topic and a very pleasing program was enjoyed by all. A paper by Mrs. Stevens, a reading by Mrs. Pearl Griffin and an instrumental selection by little Miss Zelma Hatly were the numbers offered by Deacon Wm. Ford, Chairman of the Program Committee. At 7:30 p.m. the Rev. Carter again delivered one of the most vital and necessary sermons on the possession of land. Taking his subject from Joshua, whom God told even when a very old man to go and possess certain lands and divide them. The Rev. Carter very pointedly advised the possession of lands here in order that we might the more appreciate the Heavenly lands of which we so often speak and long for. Many other beautiful points were brought out by the speaker that should be of lasting benefit to all of his hearers. Two very distinguished visitors were present at the vening service: Prof. J. C. Moore and the Rev. Mrs. Wilson, a relative of Mrs. B. M. Turner, who is making a short visit in our city. Sister Wilson prayed a wonderful prayer that stirred the hearts of all who heard her. She will preach for the W. H. and F. Missionary Society on Friday afternoon at the Friendship Baptist Church at their regular weekly meeting. Everybody should avail themselves of the opportunity to hear her. The Choir again acquitted itself splendidly at the evening service. The Linen Shower given by Mrs. J. H. Harrison, for Mrs. Anna Hobba Prince at her home, 87 South Vernon Avenue on last Thursday evening was a very successful affair, and very unique in that many beautiful Scripture verses as well as bountiful supply of splendid Linen was received. The bride left Monday morning over the Southern Pacific for Fort Huachuachua to join her husband, Mr. Harold Samuel Prince who is Y. M. C. A. Secretary with the famous 10th Cavalry. Her many friends wish her a very pleasant stay in her Army Home. Sister I. H. Ford will be the principal speaker at a special meeting for women to be held at the First A. M. E. Church on the afternoon of Sunday February 16th at 3:00 o'Clock. All missionary and women workers of the churches era specially urged to be present, as the purpose of the meeting is to stimulate the activities of the women in our community. Prof. Moore and his sister, Miss Moore, and Mrs. M. E. Reynolds were guests at Tea with Mrs. J. H. Harrison on last Sunday afternoon. A call will be issued to the people of Pasadena for a meeting to organize a Forum sometime in the coming week. Master Mechanic, Morris Donegan, another S. D. man, better known as "The Cootie," and my Buddy is still on the job, getting up wood and water details. Can't let the Goolash joint go down. Once in a while when getting the gang together he runs across a bad man who refuses to fall out. (Stalling.) "Say Hippo, you'd better fall this guy out, (showing the man's name on the duty book) I don't know where he stays." Nevertheless the "Cootie" is just about the happiest guy in camp, at present. He only receives about one letter a week from a certain young lady in S. D., favorite saying: "How's everything in Dixie old top." Sergt. Percy Bost of Fresno is confined to his quarters, nothing serious though. What gets Mush's goat though, he has to meet six o'Clock revelille. Boat is the Company's theatrical leader and a great tenor singer. His greatest fault is playing Coon Can for a frane a game with a deaf soldier from Colorado. Sergt. William Bigby also of Fresno is confined to quarters with a slight attack of the real Cootie Fever but will be able to be up and about in a few days. Too much rain and mud and all in the same place for the old boy no doubt. Corp. E. Busey of Bakerfield is very often seen coming up from the direction of Jarny a small town about one and a half kilometers below here. Wonder what's the attraction Eddie old boy. Let us in on it, no compre. Ed. was given a day off last week to dispose of a few strange cooties that have been molesting his surround- ings. Bussay says he can't mind having them around, but when they without his permission use his stomach for a dancing pavilion he just won't stand for it. We don't blame you Buzz, stay with it. Great old life if you don't weaken. To be continued by the "Cootie and Hippo." ENDORSE ROBERTS' RECORD. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 24th, 1919. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 24th, 1919. At a regular meeting of the Clean Government League, 74th Assembly District, the following endorsement of Hon. F. M. Roberts' vote on the National Prohibition Amendment offered by W. H. Sanders, Chairman Executive Committee, was adopted: G. Paul Brown, Pres. Ella Lyde, Secy. In deciding whether or not California should take its place in the dry column, it is commendable to note that Hon. Fred M. Robetts, representative from the 74th Assembly District, lifted himself above the narrow and personal views of what might happen to him as a result of his vote and expressed his conviction rather than the desire of some of those who live in his district. There are many reasons why Representative Roberts was justified in using his best efforts to banish in from the State of California forever strong drink. It is apparent to the casual observer that the great struggle which has enveloped the world, and which, in fact, appears to have wrecked minds and consciences of men, has been accentuated oftimes by strong drink. The return of our soldiers, the struggle for the maintenance of themselves and their families, should receive all of the safeguards possible from those who will pave to do with legislating for the future of the State. No better step could be taken in this direction than the placing of California in the dry column. The baneful influence of whisky upon the strong, as well as weak minds, has been observed from time to time with horror and regret, that the Hon. F. M. Roberts lived to see the day in his political career when he could in a legalized body cast a vote, and the entire sentiments of a majority of the right thinking Negroes of this great State, which would in turn aid in the destruction of an institution which has had for its sole purpose the demoralization of the human family, is in itself sufficient reward for an honest, conscientious public servant.

Bass in the community in which he lived for many, many years. The same is clipped from the white paper published at Pleasanton, Kansas. Mr. R. J. Bass is the father of Mrs. Dora Gamble of this city, who attended the funeral accompanied by her husband, Mr. Geo. Gamble of this city. John Robert Bass. The funeral of "Uncle" Robert Bass was held at the A. M. E. Church in this city attended by a large crowd and the following out-of-town people: John R. Bass of St. Louis, Stephen Austin and family of Kansas City; George Gamble and wife of Los Angeles; Preston Bass and family of Kans. City; Cora Brown of Kansas City; Z. M. Bass and son of Kansas City, Mack Allen of La Cygne. Rev. A. G. King spoke the words of comfort and consolation over the remains of this his colleague and ardent workerin the vineyard of the Lord, after which the remains were conveyed to and laid to rest in the Pleasanton cemetery. In the death of Robert Bass Pleasanton loses one of its oldest and most highly respected citizens. In former years, before his health began to fail him, he was very prominent in politics, and many a candidate for office has consulted with Rev. Bass in regards to his chance at the colored vote. During all these years he remained an active worker in the A. M. B. Church and was always ready to go out for sustenance to maintain the Church interests. We join with our readers expressions of sympathy to those bereaved. Robert Bass was born in Beverly County, Mo., on May 8th, 1840, and lived Pleasanton, Kansas, Wednesday, Jan. 8th, aged 78 years and 44 years. He was united in marriage to Sasha Blackburn in 1857, and dame to Kansas in 1863, having broken away from the bonds of slavery. He united in Trading Post, Kansas, where he remained for a time, and formed a company of twenty-one men who whom he went back to the slave states to try to get his family. He failed in his purpose, as they had been runoff down the river by the slave holders, but he returned to Kansas with one hundred and ten other slaves, facing the many dangers that threatened anyone who would attempt to make away with slaves. He made a second trip in a short time and secured one hundred and nine slaves, including his wife and two sons, and this was the crowning day of his life. After this achievement he was content to settle down and complete the raising and educating of an interesting family. During all of the years since that time he has been a resident of this county. He was one of the early ministers of the A. M. E. Church and was always an active worker in the Church. The deceased and his good wife were the proud parents of fourteen children, nine boys and six girls, of which eight survive, four boys and four girls as follows: Mrs. tephen, Austin of Kansas City; Mrs. Wm. Austin, Des Moines, Iowa; John R. Bass of t. Louis; Iora O. Bass of Pleasanton, Kansas; Dora Gamble of Los Angeles, Cal., Cora Brown of Kansas City and William and Preston Bass of Kansas City. Mrs. Harriet Brown, mother of Mrs. Emily Childress, and Mrs. R. C. Brown is one of the most energetic women of the race in this section of THE NEW YORK CITY MAIL.

We are informed that one of our literary genii has laid aside the pen; quit rhyming poetry, and is now being investigated by the authorities for grafting; specifically charged as it is said with representing himself as the gatherer of coin for the returning colored soldiers and sailors. If the allegation is true, it is a sad reflection, and bears out what has often been said that some of our young men have mistaken their calling and would make much better plow hands than poets, their effusions of poetry makes them stupid and unfit for work, then dishonesty steps in, the first step to destruction. All over the State we meet the complaint of these petty grafters, it is high time that they be apprehended and made to pay the penalty of their C crimes, this proposition of going around multching the business men under false pretenses is a crime which cannot be condoned.

Sir Rev. W. J. J. Byers, who is the C. G. M. of the Sir Knights of Tabo of the California and Arizona Jurisdiction returned to his home on the 1st inst. Rev. W. J. J. Byers, C. G. M., has been a very busy man during the past ten days. While on his annual visit to the Temples and Tabernacle Knights and Daughters of Tabo Rev. Mr. Byers is a man of fraternity as well as spiritual turn of mind, no only thinking, but proving, that we can work together if we live up to oath and obligations to God and man. The International Order of Twelve is founded on religious principles, and to be a true Knight of Daughter one has to be a true Christian, and by so doing gets all of the spiritual as well as the material good. The visit of the Chief Grand Mentor to the Southland was one of business, though the individuals, as we as the subordinate Temples and Tabernacles vied with each other in trying to make it pleasant for the grand officer. His visit was a very profitable on to the Order in general. All plan have been perfected for the comin Grand Session, which is to be held the second Tuesday in July at Phoenix, Ariz. Three subordinate bodies hawp been added to the Order since last meeting in Pasadena, with three more prepared, to be instituted in the northern part of the State before the next Grand Session in Arizona; so the banner of Taberism is still unfurle to the breeze. Tuesday evening, Jan. 21, a Join session was held at the Taharion Washington and Central Avenues which was largely attended and much good work was done, all departing declaring themselves having spent a splendid evening. His visit meant a trip to Victoryville on Thursday, and a meeting each day while in Los Angeles; to Pasadena Jan. 27; to San Diego Jan. 28, and final meetings in Los Angeles Jan. 29-30; all for the good and welfare of the Order, and we are looking forward for great results.
