Reckoning Day In the Police Department Rev. Robeson Speaks From Across the Waters ```markdown ``` ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 Recko Rev. Robeso VIVE LA FRANCE The belching cannons have ceased to roar, the aeroplane to drop its deadly, devastating missiles, the submarine to give its fatal stab in the dark, the rifle, grenade and sho sho to take their toll of human lives, so precious and so needy. War has ended, prussianism has been slain, victory and Democracy sing triumphantly their paen of Peace. In the midst of our joy and thanksgiving I would pause to pay a tribute of devoted respect to France. France whose heart has been bled to the core, whose young manhood on whom she relied to bear the future burdens has been snatched by a cruel hand, whose lands have been brought low by the horrors of pillage, whose people have been victims of atrocities which no doubt have made God wince at the sinfulness of His created beings. No country has suffered as she. My landing at St. Nazaire will never be forgotten. As we marched to camp with a firm and infectious smile because we had supreme faith in our ability to prosecute the mission assigned us. Gladly did the French welcome us, they hailed us as a cap-sized craft in the sea world aship on its way to resuce. The expression of their faces portrayed their anxiety, the widows draped in black vividly personified the tragedies of war. Yet beneath this surface there was an indefinable something which said "The French are determined to conquer though their last drop of blood must flow." France received the various Armies fighting for the world's peace on the highway of Democrocy, and marched all beneath the arches of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Said she. "In their name and presence we make our vow, for their defense we consecrate ourselves and all we have, the enemy is stubborn but the force of our union supported but the loftiness of our cause will soon bring the dawn of a beautiful day." "We must make the world safe for democracy," so said our Commander-in-chief when the storm clouds had gathered and threatened to burst. With this ideal before us we followed the Stars and Stripes as our country went forth and gave proof that the spirit of our fathers had not died. Democracy! What is it! Was the question asked by many. We had a conception but it was vague. We had heard about rights and privileges and a song of contentment rising from all lips. Surely such a land was Paradise itself. The very pillars of France rest on the enduring foundation of democracy. In fact they are composed of the same material, liberty, equality and fraternity. She has one drink for all and that is the pure water of Justice. She was concerned with no irrevolent problems. Germany knocked at her gates, Prussianism with its atrocities was invading her secret chambers, Autocracy with its bolshevistic torch threatened to set the world on fire. When asked to take sides, when importuned to be partial she courageously pulled her sword from its seathe and the dancing sunbeams on the glistening steel made more brilliant the watchword—"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity." There were some who said, "Yes France is democratic but if your kingdom was filled with enemies and your strength diminishing, would you not be democratic?" Yes, I would but words are not strong enough to assault him who would thus malign the motives of a Nation whose traditions and deeds speak for themselves. France has a heart that pulsates with the heart of humanity. France is what she is because ```markdown ``` The California Eagie Capt. J. A. McCoy, U. S.

Civilization has been rescued. Democracy has been saved. Many factors contributed to this great victory, but least among all has been the practical application of the ideals to which we dedicated ourselves, and the principles emblazoned on the Allied Banner. Many sable heroes who punctured holes in the enemy's back have crossed the sea on the ship of Peace. You have welcomed them because of the bravery displayed, because they upheld and glorified the reputation of their fathers who went on before.

Titus, the Donor and the Authority for This Tale. Because of His Well Known Veracity He was Not Placed Under Oath. The California Eagle is the recipient of a California eagle-bird with quite an interesting history. It was presented to this newspaper by Mr. Titus, the engineer of the Union League Building, who is himself an all-round sport and whose veracity is only questioned by those of his numerous friends who know him best. Between the spread of its wings, this giant bird, the regal denizen of the Sierra and San Bernardino range, is six feet. It has been mounted on what purports to be a mountain boulder and has all of the appearance in recently purchased this beautiful home investment Co. handled the deal. ply returned from the U. S. A. and in- its outstretched wings of descending on the valley below to re-engage in its usual occupation of deplentishing the poultry yards, goat and sheep flocks of kids and lambs for which the valley is noted. In presenting this invaluable pres- EAGLE ent to the California Eagle to adorn its sanctum, Mr. Titus said: "This bird was the terror of the small sheep and goat men in the San Bernardion valley. It had its eyrie high up in the mountains crowned by Old Mount Baldy, where its equally ferocious mate and eaglets awaited his return from its daily marauding trips to the valley below, to enjoy a generous feast of young lamb, kid or succulent spring chicken, (permit me to explain I mean chickens with feathers on and not the Broadway kind). It was at this time that Mr. Herbert Hoover was engaged in his great and patriotic work of food conservation when he received complaints because of the deprudations of this ferocious bird. He offered a reward for its death, and a larger reward for its capture alive. I had just returned from a trip to Vernon, Watts and other thriving cities in Southern California when I learned of the reward." Mr. Titus paused here in his interesting recital, as his well known modesty would not permit him to speak boastingly of himself, so it becomes the painful duty of the representative of this newspaper to tell of the capture of the eagle bird. So here goes, as the street car conductor says: "Having returned from the suburban cities enumerated thoroughly fortified by Mr. Titus, when he learned of the menace to the food conservation of the people of the valley, Mr. Titus was prepared for any risk, and immediately tendered his services. They were accepted, and, waiting until it was night, he stealthily crept to the opening of the eyrie, the boulder upon, which the stuffed bird now prepares to take his flight in the California Eagle editorial sanctum, into the family residence of the huge birds, precipitating, such a scare that he was able to club the mother bird into a state of quietude and skillfully tossing his burning cigarette into the open beak of the ferocious bird, which asphyxiated it, he was able to throw it over his shoulders and triumphantly bring the thoroughly disgusted bird to a committee that was awaiting him at the foot of Mount Baldy." When questioned as to the reward, Mr. Titus said laconically: "I got my reward before I left Watts and the beach cities. There is the bird, present it in my name as an appropriate gift for a newspaper which bears its name." We have the eagle and Mr. Titus has our unbounded thanks for his public-spiritedness. The friends of the California Eagle are invited to call and become acquainted with the real bird itself. AT THE STATE CAPITAL. (By Head of Staff.) The past week in and about the legislative halls has been, indeed, a busy one. Many measures have been reported out of committees, and also passed to third reading in both Houses; and more are on the fire. Delegation Comes from Oakland.

Mr. and Mrs. Simpson are now living in Winslow, Arizona. some seven or eight, headed by E. B. Gray, the wide-awake secretary of the Negro Business League of that city, came down to be present at the hearing of the Senate bill No. 179, before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. This organization stands sponsor for the bill which will forever prohibit the showing in this state of such pictures as the Clansman, and all other pictures which tend to create race animosity and prejudice. Speakers Worthily Present Issue. When given a hearing on Thursday evening before the committee arrayed against the high salaried attorneys of the moving picture interests, the men from Oakland most worthily, indeed, presented their claims, and did so in such a way that the committee was most favorably impressed, and there is no question but what the bill will be reported with the very necessary recommendation that it DO PASS. Marshall Makes Distinct Hit. Mr. E. E. Marshall's very convincing speech in behalf of bill No. 179 was a gem. He made a wonderful plea and was complimented on every hand for his splendid effort. Gray Also Shows Strong. Mr. E. B. Gray made the closing argument on behalf of his delegation, and most creditably acquitted himself and presented an uncensurable argument in favor of the bill.

The State Conference called for April 4th and 5th is going great guns; much interest is being manifested, and it is safe to say that there will be on hand a great attendance. We have assurances of a big attendance from Oakland and San Francisco; also from Los Angeles. We are in communication also with many other sections, and doubtless the state in its entinity will be well represented. Press Men Will Also Meet. At the suggestion of C. C. Coleman, J. M.

W. GLENN AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS' SERVICE IN POLICE DEPARTMENT SUSPENDED. The capture of a woman in the Bachelor Apartment of Sergeant W. W. Glenn early Tuesday morning, March 10th, has created much newspaper sensation. Mr. Glenn claims that he came off duty at 11:45 Monday evening, and after visiting the Dreamland Cafe, went to his Apartment, at 1323% E. 9th St. and was in the house but a few minutes when his telephone rang and a Mrs. Walton stated that she was on her way to his place to report some goods that had been stolen from her car. Mr. Glenn says, that being fatigue, he asked the woman if she could wait until morning, but she insisted that she preferred to turn in the report immediately, and so he made her come. Mr. Glenn states that he was not in sleeping attire as some of the papers state, and further that Mrs. Walton was in his Apartment less than twenty minutes when there was a great pounding at both the back and front door. He excused himself and went down to see who had come, and when he opened the front door a revolver was thrown in his face. He inquired as to the trouble and was in (Continued on page 4) d Mrs. Thomas Thaddeus Simpson at chased from the Bookertee Investment ing in Winslow, Arizona. SENATOR HIRAM W.

Sullivan of Los Angeles who has been a close friend of the late Colonel Roosevelt and enjoyed his friendship for twenty years, and served during his administration in the diplomatic service in Turkey, is attending the session of the legislature writing special articles for the chain of newspapers. He is strongly advocating Senator Hiram W. Johnson as the Republican nominee for the presidency in 1920. Mr. Sullivan says that during the visit of Colonel Roosevelt to the San Francisco and San Diego Expositions he accompanied the Colonel to the latter city, and on their returning from San Diego Colonel Roosevelt said: "Johnson is a great leader to follow.

ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 5 artment His Accusers March 11, 1919. To the California Eagle: Everything derogatory which Alexander has published against me in the last issue of his paper is a lie, and Alexander knew at the time that he was publishing lies. He shrouds his lying statements in the form of rumor. I defy him to publish these statements as facts. All intelligent people know that Alexander is lying about me. McAllister whom Alexander "rumors" to have paid me $200,000 for Hackett's removal is now in jail. My only regret is that it is not yet possible to put Alexander and those white and colored officers and politicians who are backing him in his lies against me and other, in jail with McAllister. I have always fought for decency in public and private life. I am proud to claim comradeship with the vast majority of the colored men and women of Los Angeles in their opposition to commercialized vice, which seeks to satisfy its lusts at the expense of our tender colored boys and girls. I have often defended and helped, and will always defend and help victims of the underworld life who desire an opportunity for better and higher things in life. I have never been, and I shall never be a professional defender or "legal silent partner" of professional crooks and prostitutes who get out of jail simply to ply again their body and soul to blighting practices. Glenn, in my estimation was 'framed on' because he closed up the vice business while he was in charge a few months ago. If Alexander or any one else publishes any direct and derogatory statements against me I will give him the chance to "tell it to the judge." I am not in charge of this investigation and have no connection with it. However, I thank God that the commercialized vice crooks are at last being exposed. I hope the grand jury and District Attorney Woolwine will not cease until our decent colored citizens have removed from their necks this terrible millstone of organized vice propagators. Until this is done the macks, pimps and whores will continue to be heralded as our leading colored citizens and politicians, while virtue and honesty will still go without its proper reward among our people. Further than this I have nothing to say, for my time is consumed by my private practice and my Lower California activities. Anything further from Alexander in the future will be properly branded by the decent people I am sure. HUGH E. MACBETH THE NINTH ST. SCHOOL.

Greggs, Pastor From the very first strains of the beautiful processional Sunday morning, a wave of Spiritual inspiration swept the magnificent audience of devout worshippers, which manifestation was clearly evident until the last amen closed the last services of the day. Two audiences that filled the auditorium worshipped with us during the day. The choir covered itself with glory, in both services. The especial features of the morning program were: The Anthem—"Great and Marvelous," with the quartette, parts taken by Misses Flora Washington and Elmira Beavers and Messrs. Geo. Johnson and G. A. Beavers, Jr.; and a male quartette, "More Love to Thee," by Messrs. Anthony, Johnson, Sanford and Beavers. The subject of the morning discourse was "What is Christianity?" In the evening, the pastor discussed the subject, "A Safety Deposit." At this time the choir rendered, with tremendous effect, the Anthem, "Gloria," which was followed by the soul-stirring jubilee "Standing in need of Prayer," led by Mrs. Madeline Osborn. For invitiation, in the morning, Mr. E. Hall, in his usual forceful manner, sang, "When Jesus came into my Heart." As a result of the Spiritual fervor, ten earnest, anxious servants of the Lord were received into the church. This was the occasion of our FREE WILL OFFERING, and no one was disappointed with the results. Without a captain or semblance of an organized effort, the two great congregations responded to the appeal for what ever they would give, and the pastor, amid shouts and rejoicing, announced as the results, One Thousand and four Dollars ($1,004.00). All who did not contribute in this effort will have an opportunity on next Sunday. We must have three hundred more envelopes, and then, only a small fraction of the membership will be on this list.

Services were up to the standard in every way. Sunday School well attended, the enrollment having reached the 90s, whereas, one year ago, we had less than 25 attendance. At 11 a. m. Pastor Holt preached a sermon, such as is expected of him by those who crowd the news at every service. Text, "And an Highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the best of Holloway. In 1651-1652, Seward, The King's Highway, on the Gospel Railroad." Those who heard him, are the best judges of the force of this great sermon.

BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST—(Holiness), 1545 Palomares Ave W. M. A. Washington, Pastor Last Sunday the services at Bethel were very helpful. The Sunday School is increasing in attendance. We are pleased to note the increased interest of the adults of the Sunday School. The pastor preached an inspiring sermon, using as a text, Matt. 24:27—"Doers of the Word." The practical duty of Christian living was pointed out and set forth; at 8 p. m. the pastor brought another helpful message, using as a text, Jer. 5:1. Do not fail to hear these wonderful messages from this inspired God-fearing man. The B. Y. P. U. is also increasing in interest and attendance. Next Sunday the services will be as usual: Sunday School, 9:45 a. m.; Preaching at 11:30 a. m.; Y. P. U. at 6 p. m.; Preaching 8 p. m. The Brotherhood each Wednesday 8 p. m.; Thursday 8 p. m., Praise and preaching. TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH— Normandie and Jefferson We had three services last Sunday and all of them were well attentied. At the morning service the pastor preached from the text: "All authority is given unto me in heaven and in earth," Matt. 28:18. The pastor said in part: Christ is Standard—so do we look for and find the faultless standard in Christ Jesus and in him resides all authority in religion. He makes this claim for himself. In talking on the great religious subject of giving the Gospel to all men, teaching and winning them. He says, "All authority is given unto me in heaven and in earth." He makes that the ground and starting point of religion for all men. He is the only Law and Master in the religious realm. He shares with no one the right to rule men's souls. It were folly and confusion for each man to use his own foot as the unit for measuring length. Let us accept the tradition that the foot of the mighty Heracles was made the unit of length and the fact that the arm measurement of King Henry became the standard yard. And doing this, then let us move to the world of religion and contemplate how many questions would be settled, how many differences allayed, how many even removed, how many tumultuous hurried, how much suffering averred, how many rejoiced, and what a reign of A.

The Chorus of the united Churches had a splendid practice for the Lecture at the First Baptist Church. The Young People were late for their meeting owing to late meeting at the Missionary Society.

OUR DEMOCRACY IN THE MAKING Editor Dickson in the issue of the Evening Express, under date of March 10th, editorially says some very lucid things anent the type of democracy that we have been enjoying in these United States. He makes it very apparent that we have not yet realized our idetls, but we are progressing along lines of further development. "We haven't yet attained democracy," he says, "we are working it out in the progressive development of social, political and industrial justice." And furthermore, "Democracy its a condition in which every man can work under tolerable conditions and share equally in the combined output of initiative and industry, skill of brain and skill of hand." That the above sort of democracy does not yet apply in this country of ours is self-evident, when it concerns the Colored American, very generally, throughout the extent of this country. It has become customary to regard the individual Colored American as a "lucky individual," not a deserving individual who logically looks forward to the realization of his just dues. He must carry the "eternal handicap" of race! We have not yet realized that a government for the people, all the people, cannot be a mother to one class and a foster mother to another class. The editorial of Editor Dickson is timely; interview of the new processes of governmental formation, it is indeed inspiring to learn, "the prosperity of peoples runs down into the great body of men and women who do work of the world, and that the process of guidance is not completed only by the standard of the benefit that it confers upon those who in the obscure ranks of life contribute to the success of those enterprises." We hear of outlawing the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages, the enfranchisement of women, all of which are the correct things, but we hear nothing about the enforcement of the Constitutional rights of the American Negro throughout the length and breadth of this democracy of ours. May such editorials as we have commented on, continue to make their appearance in the columns of the Evening Express to the end, that there shall be, "the progressive development of social, political and industrial justice" throut this ideal democracy, clept the United States of America. STIRRED UP A HORNET'S NEST And now after all the people slow to anger are getting all "Het Up" on the propositions which were first flung to the breezes many weeks ago, we at length, it seems, spoke the truth and the whole truth when we said there was a big paymaster and a pay day for both the big and the little gamblers of this city. It now seems as though by general consent hat such is het belief of all he people at this particular time. We bore heavily on the Chinese undertrappers who it seemed had a strange hold on somebody. As a result of our onslaught things quieted for a while, but they openly asserted that "Bye Bye" we open up and just as soon as certain changes were made on the guard of police on the East Side Now our mutual information received in confidence was not available for publication at which existed at the time. We however started the fires burning, they were temporarily quenched, but smouldered on and on until now they are flaming and no one can hazard a guess just to what extent they shall reach. Before we left for Sacramento we stated to a high city official the status of certain things and that something would surely happen if a change was not made. True to our prophecy something has happened. As a matter of fact; that there was a perfect understanding with certain vicious forces in the city and high police officials, was paten to the casual observer of things, and they would brook no interference with those who would cut in on games, or for the macques who reserved the right to have their women operate in certain sections of the city. As to who is responsible? That is a question which the grand jury is wrestling with now. We are interested in the replacement of the discharged soldier. The record now stands that there are in the United States over 150,000 men who served this government in camp and field who are without occupation. This problem of unemployed must be solved as it is now most serious. Employers of farm labor in the North and Middle West complain that a very small proportion of the returned men to civil life will accept of this kind. They want to be resident of the larger citites with their manifold attractions it is stated. England and France confronted with the same problem propose to tunnel the English Channel between Dover, England and Calais, France, a distance of Thirty miles and employ discharged soldiers in this work. We of California have our proportion of the unemployed men who have seen naval and military service, why not take the 'hunch' and offer them employment in tunneling the 'Three miles between San Francisco and the Oakland Mole? It was Napoleon who once said, in battle God is one the side of the heaviest battery. The only way to gain universal peace and maintain it is to increase the strength of our naval and military establishment. If it were not for the fear of hell, perhaps, Lent would not be observed so faithfully. According to the findings of the Los Angeles Grand Jury, vice conditions in this city and county are to have the limelight turned on them. And in doing so arrests are being made of men who are reported responsible for said conditions. Remember there is to be a great meeting of the race in this Sate, April 5th, for the purpose of studying ways and means to get for the race a larger supply of that world democracy we have been talking about and quite recently fighting for. The petitioner rusher is now abroad in the land. POLICEMAN SUSPENDED. (Continued from page 1) formed that the woman was wanted. Mr. Glenn said he called the woman, who responded in person, and was taken by officers Hayes, Johnson, and Sergeant Hackett to the City Jail. As to the otter charges suggested Mr. Glenn says, "I have but discharged my duty according to my Chief's orders which he knows." For thirty years the Eagle, now the California Eagle, has made its home on Central Ave., and its aim has always been to create cleaner and better airlines in this section of It was the Eagle under the management of J.

Neimore reviewed the record made by Glenn, Steavens, and McDuff as Police Officers; the present management will never forget the animated expression of the dead Editor's face as he spoke with pride of (Continued on page 7) ing your residence in New York. He is a great contractive statesman, and he would make a great President. He is my choice for the Presidency. "If he lived," said Mr. Sullivan, "I believe Senator Johnson would have been his choice for the presidency in 1920." Mr. Sullivan is also a staunch friend of Senator Hirman W. Johnson and was in Sacramento during the first session of the Legislature and enthusiasm over the way Senator Johnson's name has been received for the Presidential nomination in 1920. Sullivan says, "I made a quiet canvass among the members of both houses of the Legislature, feeling that they are in a position to guage public sentiment in their respective localities, and I am agreeably surprised to find with very few exceptions that they are absolutely in favor of Senator Johnson as the epublictn nominee in 1920 for Presidency. Some of the members who were not at all times friendly to Johnson in the past stated to me that "while they did not always agree with him in the past, they recognized his great potentialities as a leader, and would support him for the Presidency. "After the adjournment I made a trip through the state and talked with a great many prominent men, and I found the same friendly feeling in evidence everywhere I went. A few weeks ago I sent out four hundred letters to friends of mine in the East who were prominent in business and political life, and they report to me that Johnson's, popularity is growing by leaps and bounds, and they regard him as the most available man for the Republican party to choose as their leader." AT THE STATE CAPITAL. the capital. The men of the quill realize if they qualify to preach the GET TOGETHER doctrine, they themselves must give practical demonstration of this doctrine. Supervisors Meeting. The Supervisors from over the state held their annual gathering here during the week. We note from all sections officials whom we know, who were here to attend the meeting. Mr. E. P. Gray of Oakland, after the meeting on last Thursday, left for Reno, Nev., for a business trip of a few days' duration. Assemblyman Roberts on last Sunday at the Baptist Church addressed the large Woman's Day meeting, and in the evening addressed the congregation of the A. M. E. Zion Church, of which Rev. Harvey is the pastor. The editor of the Eagle also addressed both gatherings. In the Senate. This austere body, owing to its smaller size, it seems transacts business with greater speed than the Assembly. So far, however, in that body no legislation of note has been passed. Hon. Chas. W. Lyons Making Good In Upper House. From Los Angeles county the Hon. Chas. W. Lyons is proving his mettle as one of the foremost legislators of the Senate. He served faithfully and well in the Assembly for two terms, and was at the election on last November promoted to the Senate by his constituents, where, like his previous record for doing things, he is taking no backward step, but forging at all times to the forefront in the interests of the people. Senator Lyons is one of our splendid young men who is making good in public life, and we predict for him a brilliant future, the heights of which he is likely to ascend can only be conjectured. Senator Duncan of Yolo County on account of his strong tendencies for a square deal for all in the moving picture case, has endeared himself a prime favorite with the people who need that square deal the most. Senator Dwight Hart. The attitude of Senator Dwight Hart in certain legislation that will come before the Senate in the near future will be of interest to a large part of his constituents and probably more so to the senator, the senators district includes the Black belt of Los Angeles. The question is: "How will he stand on the picture bill which will be strongly opposed; and how will he stand on the Civil Rights Bill which gets a crime on any sort of discrimination in any public place of THE CALIFORNIA BAGLE L.

The most successful membership campaign in the history of the Y. M. C. A. came to a close last Sunday afternoon. The membership is now four hundred. The automobile contest created, to say the least, exciting interest toward the close; S. S. Taft winning in the contest, while Mrs. H. W. Markham, of the Ladies Auxiliary, finished just two points behind him. T. A. Cole, who came third, falling three points lower than Mrs. Markham, was not considered a dangerous contest until Saturday, when the Ford car which he represented tied with the Packard in first place. This unexpected advance of the little Ford stirred the drivers of every car so that the speedometer was put to its greatest test. Dr. Geo. D. Taylor, driving the Marmon, was in a class by himself in the fourth place; outdistancing his closest competitors by several points... All of the ten contestants did well and have the thanks of the manager of the campaign, Mr. S. P. Johnson; the Secretary; Committee; Management and the membership. Those in the contest w ho worked so well, other than the ones mentioned were: Messrs. Felix Floyd, Byran Johnson, H. A. Reeves, J. R. Scott, G. M. Stokes and Wm. Edmonds. The banquet to the winning team, and reception to the workers, the new and old members will be announced later.

Reed was pastor here for nearly five years, and while here he was the lasting friendship of the white and colored people.

Why I Am Proud That I Am A Negro The much mooted race problem, does at times pall upon one, especially when it is used as a weapon against innocent victims to increase race hatred and engender in the younger generation of Caucasian blood the feeling that they are the superior of the black man. In many instances the Negro outdistances his white brother, and knows that he holds the upper hand, but prejudice will not permit him to be recognized and this—because jealousy prompts the white man not to give credit where credit is due. We match the white man in everything he stages, and it is not rare for us to forge ahead and even establish a precedent that is emulated by the so-called superior race. And what is the cause of this? Equal educational rights. Therein lies the solving of this so-called race question, which, when boiled down is no question at all. It's absurd, simply used as an instrument to keep the races apart—and that can never be done. Old Tillman went to his grave agitating and prognosticing the future of the Negro. His constituents, whom he could not take with him because the coals were only hot enough for one at a time, are still bellowing away, raring, and tearing and plotting as to what disposition should be made of old Ben's kill-joys, and the Negro is going right ahead, advancing intellectually, morally and industrially. It would make a at laugh, especially a southern cat, to see how the Negro is going ahead in spite of this so-called superiority of the white man. Every one knows that 96 million whites over 12 million black make the white man the superior from a stand-point of population, and that is about the one real point in dominion that the white man can fling in our faces. Reverse it. Suppose there were 12 million Anglo-Saxons, and 96 million of us. Would it not be more than natural for us to assume that we were the superior race? Are there not those of us with the same ambition as our brothers and sister of fairer hue, who could go forth and sing our own praises? I am glad that I am one of the 12 million, to prove that I belong to a race that is part and parcel of these grand United States, moving onward and upward to higher ideals. Naturally, we have a few slackers, but we're taking care of them. We are proving every day that we are 100 per cent square in our dealings, and will not be side stepped. If one white brother shuts the door of hope in our faces, there's always another to open 50-50 proposition with the domineering race to hold the Negro down, it is inclining more to an angle of 30-70 in favor of the Sons of Ham. Every person who has a drop of black blood flowing through his or her body, could not help but feel proud of those boys of ours of the 92nd Division. We honor and pay homage to every black troop who represented us on that blood-soaked European battel-field—they deserve every enconium that can be heaped upon them; but, let us camp a while with the 369th, the old 15th of New York. What a glorious day it was when they paraded down 5th Avenue, cheered and honored along the entire line of march from the lowland pedestrian to the powers that be. Those black boys, 191 days under fire, who didn't lose a prisoner or a strip of ground, and best of all were the nearest Berlin when the Armistice was signed. Two of their members, Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts were the first American dough-boys to receive the Croix de Guerre, and their State and the country at large are proud of them. Mr. "Superiority" did his best to prevent colored nurses from serving on the Battlefield, but press reports state that 300 went over as white, and after all, colored women, (to use the language of the day), put one on the parties who tried to keep them down. Am I proud that I'm a Negro? "I'll say so, and tell the whole world that."

The Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company with offices at 266-267 Wilson Block, 102 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, California, is a corporation in good and regular standing with a capital stock of 100,000 non-assessable shares, most of which have already been subscribed by stockholders in Los Angeles and in various sections of the United States. This company has been doing business now for several years. It has experienced all the handicaps, hardships and discouragements peculiar to a struggling enterprise of Colored people. Many have looked upon it with suspicion and have felt loath to offer their cooperation. But the company has made good. It is a success. Its present standing is first class. It is getting results and that is what tells in the mining business. Officers of the Company A reputable group of citizens are the officers of the company. They are: President, Dr. George W. Shields; Vice-President, Joseph J. Bunch; Treasurer, G. P. Isaacs; Secretary, Howard Folke, Assistant Secretary, Charles G. Dumacomb; Secretary Auditing Committee, L. K. Hoberja; Chairman Auditing Committee, Walter Perry; Members Auditing Committee; John W. Lewis, Andrew Hayman, Willia Stors; Manager, Samuel J. Brown; and Fiscal Agent, L. E. Guest. These officers have stuck to the enterprise with tenacity and they are now beginning to realise the value of patience and industry. stock at $1.00 per share. The board of directors have made a very special concession to the public within the past week. Since the property had begun to show results and was put on a paying basis, the board decided to withdraw all stock from the market; the last stock was offered at $2.00 per share. But the company has found it possible to complete a big deal by purchasing outright for $15,000 the undisputed one-half interest in eleven claims of 220 acres from M. L. Cook of San Bernardino, which will afford the company large and rich returns. It has been decided, therefore, to place on the market at a reduced rate a few shares at $1.00. This special offer to the public at this time to facilitate freeing the company from all encumbrances. Fifty Thousand Dollars was offered for the claims on which there is but $15,000 indebtedness; but the company values these claims too highly to dispose of them. The Gold Star group which the company now holds—two claims of 20 acres each—are entirely free from debt, and one-half of the eleven claims are also free. With $15,000 the company will have under control thirteen claims or 260 acres of the richest mining property in the State of Nevada. In these mines are lodes containing gold, silver and other precious metals. The claims which the company desires to acquire at once are known as Old Silver Legion, Captain, Runaway, Federicks, Copper King, Sunahay, Tyee, R. & F. and Lookout. Also the two combination groups consisting of the mining claims known as Lloyd and Marion. Two Gold and Silver Bricks Received The successful operation of this mining company here in Los Angeles has demonstrated the executive ability of Mr. Howard Foley and his coworkers, the officers of the company as well as the men who have proven such remarkable efficiency at the mines. The tangible results are gratifying to all concerned. During the past week two glowing bricks of gold and silver have been received from the mines. These two bricks are valued at a high price. The assayist and chemist who passed upon them pronounced their first class. During the next week it is expected that other bricks just as large and valuable will be received from the mines at the Los Angeles office. The stockholders are jubilant. They are being rewarded for their patience and confidence. The promise for the near future is reassuring and all who desire to make a good paying investment would do well to purchase stock at once while the price is low and while stock is available. It is confidently expected that this small block of stock just placed on the market at the very low price of $1.00 per share will last but a few weeks. The Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company is developing a great enterprise—a proposition that will enrich every man and woman who is fortune nate enough to possess stock in the company. This proposition reflects credit upon the Colored race, and the men who have had the foresight and courage to stand by it are to be congratulated. The zeal and enthusiasm with which the officers have conducted the business calls for our highest praise and commendation. Did Not Believe in Race Stickability The company is receiving the congratuations of men high up in the mining business. The manager of the Rand Mining and Milling Company located within four miles of the Eldorado properties has repeatedly complimented the company upon its good fortune and the strength of character of the men who serve as its officers. This manager said recently, speaking to the secretary: "I congratulate you and your company upon the splendid success you are making. We are greatly surprised at you because it was thought by many of us, when your people first started operations in that section of the country that you would do, as most your people do, work a little while and then throw up their hands in failure. Nobody in that district entertains such an opinion of you now—but we all know that your mines are destined to be classed among the great producers of our commonwealth. Let me say to you, that unity on action on the part of your honorable board of directors has made this possible. Concentration of force on right lines will surmount difficulties and accomplish things. To develop mining properties, as you well know, requires the development of the brains and nerves, besides plenty of money, skilled labor and much patience. These essentials, we thought your people did not possess, but by the way, you have succeeded has changed our opinion." Citizens interested in the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company outside of the State of California as well as those in the state would do well to open correspondence with the secretary, who will explain fully any question that might arise in reference to the standing of the company. Money for shares at $1.00 each may be sent by post office money order or check directly to Mr. Howard Folke, Secretary, Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company, 266-267 Wilson Block, 102 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, California.

There were about 150 visitors and strangers present who must have felt themselves very much at home after the very warm and cordial welcome given them by the president in one of the most feeling and pointed addresses ever listened to in the Church, and all that had an opportunity to do so, expressed themselves as heartily pleased with the welcome. There were some splendid numbers on the program rendered, and other numbers, owing to the press for time, were not able to appear. The volcal solo by Mrs. Wilbur Randolf was very pleasing, and the vocal solo by Master A. Fouche was well received. A reading by one of the new-comers from Ohio (we did not get the name), was very interesting and amusing, but carried an excellent moral. A paper by Mrs. Davenport on the subject, "The Duty of the Women," was an inspiring exposition. A duet by Mrs. Lillian Turner and Mrs. James Miller was very sweetly sung. It was very unfortunate that time would not allow for Mrs. R. Calmore to render the vocal solo that she had prepared, but we hope to have her again soon. Friendship Baptist Church Notes. Services were well attended on last Sunday. The Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. was very glad to greet Superintendent Troy again after a brief illness. A splendid historical review by the assistant historian, Rev. J. A. Fleming, was indeed very instructive, and the lesson review by the pastor gave a fitting climax to the session. The pastor preached at 11 o'clock from the subject, "The Pillow of Fire and the Pillow of Cloud." He vividly described his presence with His children, given the presence of Jesus Christ. One new admission to the church was had in the morning. Y. P. U. was all that could be expected, and held a very interest-commission and a lively discussion of the topic, which was a temperance lesson. In the absence of the president, who is still quite ill, Mrs. Pearl, the president, conducted things very nicely. Bro. J. G. Groves of the Second Baptist Church, Los Angeles, made some very pointed remarks, what were well received. A.C.7 p. m. the Choir journeyed in automobiles which were furnished by the fifth people of the First Baptist Church of Pasadena (whitb), to the Church at Marengo and Union Sts. where they sang four songs by invitation of the leaders of the Young People's Society of that Church, and were brought back in the same autos to our own service sat 7:25, in time to take the Choir stand at 7:30, as usual. The visit was very beneficial for the Choir and much enjoyed by our white friends of the First Baptist Church. The Choir and the pastor received an invitation to come back and fill the evening at some future date. Rev. J. B. Baugh has been on the sick list but is now convalescing. Mr. H. Marks, one of our great business men, has returned from a successful business trip to Imperial. The Misses Lutle Marks and May Turney, Mary and Annie Bell Young entertained quite a few friends at a three o'clock dinner party, the decorations being pink and white.
