California Eagle

A SEASON IN FLOWER LAND ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 33 JAMES P BRITT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL. The California Eagle is strong for the nomination and election of James P. Britt to the City Council, and especially do we ask our friends who are voters to both vote and work for his election. We do this because we verily believe that Mr. Britt stands for the real and simon pure democracy, also we think he is the calibre of man who is needed in the Council Chamber; he stands for district representation. There is absolutely no reason why the East side should not have representation in the City Council, and therefore Mr. Britt should receive the solid support of the people on the East Side. Mr. Britt is making a winning fight he has recently been endorsed by the Retail Butchers' Association, also by Mrs. E. R. Brainerd of the Women's Federated Club. Mr. Britt stands for all the things which will make Los Angeles great and grand and will give to every citizen an opportunity equal and alike. He is gaining strength daily. We are requesting the people to give his candidacy a strong support, because it is such men as Mr. Britt that we want in the City Council. ROBERT M. SHEARER FOR THE CITY COUNCIL. Among others whom we have recommended to support for membership in the City Council, Hon. Robert M. Shearer to our mind is well fitted and qualified for said position, he has all of the qualifications which go to make an ideal councilman and people of all classes will find in him a representative of whom they will indeed feel proud. Mr. Shearer's work as the secretary of Exemption No. 17 was such that demonstrated his capacity to the utmost and on all sides nothing but the highest praise is heard of his work in that position. In him the people will ever find a faithful servant who will at all times render them the best possible service. Therefore we ask of the people to not forget Mr. Shearer as one of your choice at the Primaries on May 6th. O. P. Conway, whose announcement appears in another column, has certainly made good as Councilman. Mr. Conway is a business man of high standing, a member of the Hollywood Methodist Church, and his many friends are united in his support for reelection. WILKIN'S ANNUAL STUDENT RECTAL.

Elaborate preparations for entertaining the California Baptist Connction. Other News of interest from the Negro community. In a way that has brought forth commendation from friend and foe alike, Allensworth has proceeded to solve her water and consequently community problem. Thursday the switches were thrown, power turned in from the plants of the San Joaquin Light and Power Company, and an abundance of water leaped forth from boundless artesian depths. One would think that a great cry of rejoicing went up, loud huzzas belched forth but the citizens of Allensworth have been on the job long enough, have struggled and attempted to solve civic problems sufficiently, to rejoice from a depth of gratitude and thankfulness that is echoed not from the lips but deeper and firmer from the soul. The struggles, the sacrafices, the obstacles overcome are too many to be mentioned and too sacred to be poured into the ears of the mere passerby. These are the things that are handed down from generation to generation and find their counterpart in the struggle of only other energetic and deserving peoples. One thing is established though, and that is that Allensworth as a community is on the map to stay. The citizens of Allensworth have no quarrel wilt many who do not believe in their efforts and plans for racial uplift. They know that success on their part will bring to the community prestige and due consideration. The thing of interest that is a worry to them at present is that property owners who are not living here hold in too light esteem their lands and in many instances are borrowing small sums of money on their holdings and allowing hte mortgages to be foreclosed. In other nistances person who own water stock are allowing their assessments to become delinquent and sold. Sooner or later, most likely sooner, they will wake up to the fact that they own parcels of land and have no water right. All persons who know California land, know that the land without water is of little value for farm purposes. The Allensworth Rural Water Company has for a long while been patient with the outside owner and his delinquency but it will be absolutely necessary from now on to conduct the business of the company in strictly business routine. The Water Company has its obligation to meet with te Power Company and they must meet this responsibility. Through hte efforts and residence of citizens here land values have trebled and in some instances increased even more. The location of the community on the main line of the Atchson Topeka and Santa Fe R. R. enhances its value and convenience and from the number of whites who are locating not only in the surrounding vicinity but in the community, indications are that they see the value of our holdings and know of hte future value. This is no more threat to hurry land sales or back water assessments but actual facts that are given to anyone who doubts. The members of the Board of Directors of the Allensworth Rural Water Company are Anderson Byrd, President; J. A. Hackett, Vice-President; W. Oscar Wells, Secretary; I. N. Pitts, Treasurer; and Warren A. Carter. They are exhibiting splendid managerial ability and the citizens are really seconding their efforts. If the out-of-town land owner will but do his duty, Allensworth will flourish, land values will further increase, and the statues of the negro in California will be further enhanced. San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY APRIL 26, 1919 THE OLDEST LARGEST and LOS ANGELES ASON SWORTH BERT FARMER FOR THE CITY COUNCIL. Rapid has been the rise of Hon. Bert Farmer who is president of the present City Council; with a rich and varied experience he came to the office of City Councilman two years ago and has so conducted himself in the present position that he is given credit with being one of the foremost and dependable aldermen which the city has ever had, and it is freely predicted that he will head the ticket at the coming Primaries and Election. Before serving in this position Mr. Farmer served as Assemblyman from the 73rd District, and has with high credit served in various positions of trust: was census director for this district for the 1910 census. Mr. Farmer will receive a hearty support from all classes at the coming Primaries and Election. ALBERT B. CONRAD Councilman Conrad who is making a winning fight for re-election, is a staunch Republican and an old friend of the Colired voters of Los Angeles, having assisted numbers of our race in securing city employment. Mrs. Conrad stands squarely for the common people and his platform reads as follows: "I stand for law and order and for business" and industrial progress. First, last and all the time. These principles I believe are best exemplified by employment for the worker and payment in full for his labor, without discount. I was a miner for nine years, and refused to continue this work because I was given a reduction in wages which was unfair. No freak legislation, the public ownership of public utilities, city and county consolidatin as a whole and not ni sections, the right of every business proprietor to operate his business without regulation by the drastic Snuday-closing law, right and justice for the taxpayer and majority rule are the other planks in my platform. ```markdown ``` SATURDAY APRIL 26, 1919 N FLOW CALIFORNIA, SATURD IN GRAND MASTER Q.

The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in this jurisdiction is right abreast with the times and its work in the bailwick speaks for itself and any person who is a member of this great body can well feel proud throut out the district it is building up and taking on new members as never before. FRANK H. TRUE It is worth especial emphasis that the Eagle announce the candidacy of Councilman F. H. True, for re-election. Colonel True is an old respected citizen of this community, having resided in Los Angeles fir the past thirty-one years. Colonel True is a successful business man and a staunch Republican. He has demonstrated his warm friendship for our people upon many occasions by aldnig numbers of them through close financial difficulties. LOUIS M. APPLEBY LOUIS M. APPLEBY FOR THE CITY COUNCIL. Louis M. Appleby for 30 years a resident and taxpayer of Los Angeles is making a winning race for nomi- nation and election to the City Coun- cil. He stand squarely for the people; he fir lower taxes and retrenchment; he is endorsed by scores of the leading citizens of this city, among whom is Judge Gavin M. Craig. He is a man whose claims are worthy of the greatest consideration of all the pelei. There never was a time when there was a more urgent need of manhood in our public officials than now. Manhood that will not be swerved from the path of duty by any consideration; manhood that will serve all the interests of the public regardless of racial or social standing, or the section of the city in which the people may dwell. You have made a record as Mayor of Los Angeles of which the city is justly proud. I am glad to note your candidacy for the executive office of our city again, for I feel that in you the city would have a man about whom it would not be necessary to speculate as to what he would do, but one who has proved his worth in THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT.

Our Sunday School was full to overflowing on Sunday morning. Sister Evan's effort again bore fruit in quite a number of new scholars and visitors. Teachers and scholars alike were in gala apparel and in good spirits. The Lesson was in keeping with Easter Day and all enjoyed it. Easter Eggs were much in evidence, everyone receiving one or more including the Pastor, and Superintendent. The church was most excellently decorated for the occasion. Flags, bunting, flowers, palms, birds, and music gave the place of worship the air of Paradise. Much credit is due the Missionary Societies and the Pastor's Aid, assisted by the School, for the beautiful manner in which the church was arranged and made gladsome. The Text of the morning was from Rev. 1:18: "I am alive forevermore." One must have been present to appreciate all that was said and felt in the delightful service. The Choir sang as never before. Mr. Hubert the President, and Mrs. Jackson the Directress, together with all the singers deserve the highest praise. The Sunday Scholl had its turn at night and each child did excellently. The entire program showed great care and efficiency. At the close of the morning service Mr. Hubert the President of the Choir requested a little talk with the pastor and after obtaining permission he thereupon introduced Mrs. Janie Williams who in few but well chosen words addressed the Pastor in the kindest terms, and presented him a purse of money. The pastor made suitable reply sincerely thanking the members of the Choir for their thoughtfulness. The Church closed an Easter Day that will linger long in the memory of all. Last Sunday was a glorious day at this church. Pastor Gordon preached. Subject "Resurrection." It was so ably rendered that those who heard it all but saw the stone rolled away from the door of the sepulchre. This beautiful Easter Day brought to a close the series of a Revival which has accomplished much good; about 35 or more members being added to this church, aside from those who were sent from here to connect themselves with some other church of their choice. The B. Y. P. U. Federation met at 6 p. m. and was very largely attended. The Sunday School presented the Easter Exercises under the suprevision of Miss L. Simmons, Planist; Mrs. M. Fowlkes assisted. The program was very beautifully carried out; remarks by the efficient Supt., Mrs. Lassater. Sunrise prayer meeting each Sunday morning 6 a. m.; Sunday School 9:30 a. m.; Preaching 11 a. m.; B. Y. P.

At 11 a. m. the pastor spoke upon the resurrection, calling attention especially to the visitors at the tomb. He declared that that which moved he early disciples to visit the tomb of Christ early upon the first day of the week, moves every true Christian to the house of God every Lord's Day, for Holy Communion with Christ. At 8 p.m. the Bible School committee presented many children in a beautiful Easter exercise. Nt was a delightful treat to all who were present. Many little hearts were cheered by Easter Eggs, Candy, etc. The music was never so sweet. Master James Brown in his skill with the bow, added greatly to the music. Mrs. Harris, late of Calexico, is also another addition to the Choir. Evangelist Cuddy will unfold to us the wonders of the Book of Revelation next Sunday night. We solicit a large crowd to hear him.

Sunday was a great day at Hamilton. Nearly all the old Sunday School scholars were present and a large number of new ones together with visitors. Hamilton was over joyed Easter Sunday; not because she is known as one of the best churches in the city, but because her long expected new preacher Dr. Bean arrived. We are proud to say, as far as proof is concerned, one of the best preachers in the city. He preached for us Sunday. His subject, "Who Loved me, and gave himself for me," Galatians 2:20. On such a day as Easter he came with thunder and struck' Hamilton like lightening. We are going to give everybody a chance to see and hear just what a fine pastor we have Sunday April 27th. He will preach the morning service at eleven, and evening at eight. All who enjoy fine sermons, why, the invitation is extended to you and all others: We as members of Hamilton M. E.

Very truly, Pastor and Officers. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURC— 1408 Newton Street Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor. Easter Sunday was fittingly observed at this church on last Sunday. The day began with a prayer meeting at Sunrise with quite a number present. The Sunday School convened at nine thirty o'clock and had an interesting and profitable session. The pastor preached on the "Resurrection" at the regular morning service and the Holy Spirit was present in demonstration and power. Shouts of joy were heard from the hearts of the worshippers as the pastor portrayed the resurrection of our Lord. Three infants were baptized at this service and five were fellowshipipped into the membership of the church. The children of the Sunday rendered their program in the afternoon to a well filled house. The program was of a high order and Sisters Kenney and Spurlock deserve to be praised for the most excellent appearance of the children. The banner event of the day was the program rendered by the unexcelled Choir of this church at the evening service. The solos and readings rendered by the members of the Choir and visitnig talent were of the very highest class and so well rendered that nothing was left to be desired. The evening service was closed with the singing of the Cantata "Death and Life." The Choir sang this beautiful composition with much beauty and feeling. Strangers and visitors are always welcome to the services of this church Come where a welcome awaits you and where the old time fire is burning. GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E.

ZION BAPTIST CHURCH— 3rd and Traction Ave. Sunday morning at 9:30 our Sunday School opens. Last Sunday morning we had a glorious time. The little children rendered their beautiful Easter songs and recitations. After the program all the children from one to fifty were presented with eggs. Church services began at 11:45. The pastor spoke from the subject: "Christ Conquered." Such an Easter sermon it was, such another has never been preached. We're not only preaching about the church but are winning souls for Christ. We enjoy it. Sunday night the Choir rendered one of the most beautiful rprograms ever listened to. All the services were beautiful, and all our friends and visitors went away with a glad heart. Come one, come all and list to this wonderful man with a Choir of wonderful voices Baptizing next Sunday. 8TH AND TOWNE AVE. CHURCH NOTES— Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor. Easter Day was never heretofore such a big day as that of the past Sabbath. Sweet singing birds and beautiful floral decorations with jammed and packed congregation marked the celebration of this "Easter Tide Festival," as the greatest ever witnessed at Historic Towne Ave. Church. The Sunday School and children's joyful program was replete with loving renditions that made all very sweet. The initial appearance of "Our Celestial Choir" together with the melody of our renowned "Surpliced Choir" was a wonderful feat which proved an unsurpassable treat. The Pastor preached and baptised five fine infants. "The Self Denial" offering was very good, and our thanks go to all who shared in our truly great Easter joys and wonderful success. Services as usual this coming Lord's Day with sermons by the Pastor. Annual sermon of the K. of P. Lodge and Calanthe Court at 2.30 p.m. The public is always welcome to attend. Be punctual. In the membership election Tuesday day night as our representative to the Electoral College at Bakersfield Atty. Willis O. Tyler was chosen delegate and Editor J. B. Bass alternate. It is the prayer and hope of First Church's metropolitan membership that our representative will be elected one of the laymen delegates to our forthcoming General Conference in St. NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. Lively, Pastor. A wonderful gospel feast was enjoyed by all who worshipper at the New Hope Baptist Church on Easter Sunday. The pastor, Rev. Lively delivered a wonderful message at 11 a.m. His text was, "But now is Christ risen from the daa, and become the first fruits of them that slept." 1 Cor. 15:20.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH ACTS Rumor had it that Dr. H. D. Prowd and the 2nd Baptist Church were about to server connections, but on last Monday evening the membership was out in full and voted that Dr. Prowd remain in his present dignified position as pastor of the Second Baptist Church. This church being the oldest race church in the city has made history for itself and shed an inspiring ray of light from time to time upon its newer and more pretentious church sisters that encircle her and her action at this time but elevates her in the eyes of the public, which look upon Dr. Prowd as one of the most eminent divines that has ever come to these parts. We note that some gink back in Virginia is in for celebrating the landing of slave ships at Jamestown in either this or next year. Well we don't want to be counted in on this, we could never reconcile ourselves to the act of celebrating the introduction of a race to chains and the horrors of the slave pen and auction block. Assemblyman F. M. Roberts while at the State Capitol as the first member of this race to serve the people in that capacity has made an enviable record, and the people acted wisely and well in reposing this high honor upon him. Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons received an ovation from his fellow citizens, and made a most wonderful speech at the auditorium in Chicago last Thursday night. Regardless of how the pending vice protection trial results, it is a God send to have had the atmosphere at least partially cleared in the woe begotten sections which were affected by vice conditions. The Eagle has ever stood at the forefront for the proposition of a clean town and at no time have we backed up in our crusade for better conditions, at no time have we had any fight with any individual; all crooks look alike to us, and we have not hesitated to cut loose and give pitiless publicity to the Chinese crooks and vice conditions in general. We have sought to give the lie to those who would say that the kings of the underworld guided the political destinies of the colored voters of this city. As a matter of fact they played no/part to speak of in things political, they had no influence with the people and nobody knew this fact any better than this gentry themselves; therefore their only task was to keep the white man up town fooled along these lines. Up at Oakland we are told that their lobby reported to the Business League that they worked hard, but it went for naught as the big bad Editor of the California Eagle with his editorial, "Better Have no Legislation at all," spilled the beans. To us the report is a joke, and one which we would have been loathe to make. The idea of, going down to Sargento working for weeks at $250 per and bringing back such a report. As a matter of fact had we been accredited jobhist we ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` would have laid down a gauge of battle and fought instead of cringing and getting down on our knees to amend a good bill to suit our opposition. These embryo lobbyists should eschew the baby stuff, and acknowledge the corn, they themselves are solely responsible for the defeat of their own bill No. 179. The Editor of the Eagle is on the firing line 365 days in the year, and we would have been utterly untrue to our trust had we failed to speak up and heralded in our columns the fact that this legislation as amended was worse than no legislation at all. ELMER BARTLETT TRI UMPHIS WITH STELLA MUSICAL ORGANIZATION. The far famed Eighth and Towne Ave. Choir on last Sunday night with Elmer Bartlett as its director brought forth one of the greatest musical triumphs ever given in this section to a crowded house, without even standing room. The rendition of the various numbers of the De Luxe program was enjoyed to the utmost and would not be held in the bonds of the chataqua salute, but frequently burst out in thunderous applause. A feature of the occasion was the two choirs; the additional one being the Celestial Choir located opposite of the main Choir in the Gallery. Softly and in melodious strains did the voices waft over this great audience, each number rendered was a pearl; space prohibits us from giving the story in detail but suffice to say each and every participant covered themselves with glory and their eminent director, Elmer Bartlett, scored a mighty musical triumph. We shall be pleased in a future issue to give a write up of this grand musical event in detail. CHURCH NEWS (Continued from Page Two) BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST— (Holiness) Hooper Ave. and East Adams St. Elder Wm. A. Washington, Pastor. Easter Sunday was a glorious day at Bethel. Sunday School was well attended. The Pastor delivered a wonderful message at the morning hour, Text Matt. 28:5-6. The crucifixion and resurrection of Christ was pictured in a most vivid and pathetic manner; the cowardice of Pilat and the prejudice of his accusers; may the Lord hasten the day when cowardice and prejudice shall be swept from the face of the earth, for it as a cancer gnawing at the very heart of this nation, and seeking to destroy the fundamental principles of righteousness. People this day will curse you for righteousness and applaud you for iniquity. We are living in a day of skepticism. Suffer not your faith to be shaken by the sophistries of skeptics. An excellent program was rendered by the young people at 5 p. m. at the evening hour the pastor brought another soul-stirring message; text, John 3:17. Song of Zion by the Choir that is always pleasing. Next week services as usual: Sunday School 9:45 a. m.; Preaching 11:30 a. m.; Y. P. U. 6 p. m.; Preaching 8 p. m. Wednesday 3 p. m.

PAUL BAPTIST CHURCH 1545 East 28rd Street R. N. Holt, D. D., Pastor. Pastor Holt having returned from a Revival Campaign with Dr. G. C. Coleman, of Oakland, where success attended his efforts, came into the Easter services filled with power and inexpressible joy. Some 70 children were in attendance in the Sunday School and remained throughout the srvice. They were served with all things becoming an Easter Festival, the teachers having spared no pains in the prepara- tion. Pastor Holt electrified the audience with a sermon such as St. Paul expects when he is present. Text, "He is Risen as He Said," Subject: 'Eleven things in evidence—proof of the resurrection. This powerful sermon went home to everyone. At 3 p. m. a large number assembled to participate in the organization of "Young Women Auxiliary" and "Star Light Band." - Rev. Payne, pastor of First Baptist Church of Furlong Tract came with his Children's Auxiliary, headed by Sister Taylor. That these children rendered a program worth while, is admitted by all. Sister Moore, President of the Women's District Convention officiated and as only sister Moore can do, delivered an address which touched upon every phase of our work with telling effect. The evening program was the crowning feature of the day. Under the direction of Mrs. Holt, Johnson and vans, aided by the St. Paul Chorh. A packed house was held in the grasp of masturful selections for some two hours. In these, the audience was swept from pathetic and solemn meditation to unutterable raptures and waves of estacy sublime. An offering of six dollars was taken for Foreign Mission. Total offering for the day, $61.00. Big Revival now gonig on at St Paul, COME! The attendance at Wesley broke all records last Sunday. At 11 a.m. an audience which packed the main auditorium down stairs and gallery heard the pastor's Easter Sermon which was a master piece of eloquence and spiritual power. In the afternoon a surprisingly large audience heard the annual sermon of the Knights Templars preached by the Rev. Dr. N. P. Greggs who was at his best and preached a sermon that will long be remembered by those who heard him. The evening services consisted of the annual Easter Exercises by the Sunday School. An audience which taxed the full seating capacity heard with delight the splendid exercises of the children. The decorations were splendid. Too much credit cannot be given the committee of ladies among whom were Madames Webster, Rose, Tucker, Carr, and Misses Greene Warren, White and others. This Sunday will be up to the usual high standard. The pastor will preach morning and evening. All the members and friends are urged to make the regular collection lrage enough to cover our taxes on the parsonage now due. Anniversary week will be celebrated next week as follows: Monday night, Quarterly Conference; Tuesday night, An evening with hte returned Soldiers; Thursday night, Anniversary Love Feast; Friday night, an evening with the Churches. Sermon by Rev. J. C. Anderson, and music by his Choir. Come and worship with us. WARD CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 1354 Channing St. Rev J/W. Price, Pastor. Easter Sunday brought to us many joys by way of spiritual blessings. Beginning with the five o'clock service in the morning, the entire day was filled with enthusiasm. The Sunday School with intense interest did its part. At the eleven o'clock service the attendance was good and all seemed to have enjoyed the discourse. Dr. J. H. Wilson, Presiding Elder worshipped with us at this hour. One person received to full membership and one infant baptized.

On his property there will be two houses installed and all equipments that are necessary for development purposes: and also a new two-ton Truck will be placed there for transportation. He is a man of high inspiration and pushing forward to the uplift of his race. He is trying to help the race to compete with any other race. Therefore I think he is doing a wonderful work. His property lies northwest of the Silver Legton Group. That property also has a big interest in, and has been for several years trying to bring things to pass. That property is well under way, and big results will be obtained to all the stock-holders in a short while if management are conducted rightly. Ecah of these companies are going to do things that will make the nation know that they are yet on the beach. He was wost delighted when returning from Nevada to look upon his first grandbaby which is a girl. He was highly delighted as President Wilson was when he went from Washington, D.

Just got an earful of the gladsome news of Mesrs. Hassel Davis and Her- bert Rainey, two famous Pasadena Tennis Sharks of pre-war times, who are seriously considering re-entering the game by joining one of the local clubs, or they may re-organize the Young Mens Alliance Club; while we heartily welcome them into any of our clubs; still for the good of the game, and in the interest of several Pasadena pjlayers, we are strongly, in favor of the latter, as the Crown City is well able to support a good live-wire club, having "oulles" of young and promising material on hand. Everybody boost for a "Crown City Tennis Club!" While enthusiastically discussing our tennis-players-to-New York movement having mentioned braggadociously, the Western Federation of Tennis Club's authority of the Coast, etc., the sporting editor of a local daily, knocked the writer dead, when he carelessly asked, "Who are your Pacific Coast Champions you are sending East?" After much stammering and stalling, the question is still unanswered. He suggested a meeting of eight of the best players, two women and two men from Seattle, and the same from the South, and let them scrap it out at San Francisco or Oakland. The most practical thing about this affair is that it nee dnot cost much or interfere with the New York trip, the players could leave as late as July 27th, have their little "tea party," and the winners—"Pacific Coast Champions"—could be on their way to il' New York by August 1st. Let's hear from each club on this subject at the Federation's next meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Monday, May 5th. Members of every club belonging to the Federation should apply to the president, Dr. A. C. Garrott (Manager and Treasurer of the Western Federation of Tennis Club's Tennis-Player-to-New York Fund) for popular subscription blanks, and become a subscription clerk, and work to help this movement along, as tehr is a raft of money yet needed to make it a success. Communicate with Joseph Lawrence Oliver, 1216 Virgil Ave., Hollywood 900, collector of funds. It is earnestly hoped that the Alpha Tennis Club's Decoration Day Tournament may be held at the Y. M. C.

It is said by those who have seen the manuscript of this purposed work, that it is one if the most unique works ever written on the Race. The book begins with the origin of the Race first, then following this the author deals with every phase of Negro life in the land if his nativity—Hayti and America. Every accusation with which the Race is charged is stated and commented on as a skillful lawyer would do. The book will close with a discussion of the "Race Problem" and its solution. Rev.

It is, that we, as a race, are so slow to take hold of any enterprise submitted by our own people, tardy to recognize its worth and the good that will be derived therefrom, that will benefit the race as a whole? Many projects have been submitted from time to time by one or more of us for the perusal and backing of every race loving member. Idly we let the opportunity slip through our fingers, either to pass into oblivion, or to be taken up by the opposite race, who never fail to see a good point, thereby enriching him, and the poor race man or woman, who promulgated the idea receiving hardly any recognition or compensation. Yes. an amount may be given to barely relieve a troubled mind, and in little or no time the race person's idea has evolved into a wonder, drawing large royalties, and fame for a white man who bought a colored man's brain. There has recently come within our observation, and what should be heralded as perhaps the greatest venture that the Negro has achieved in modern times, the Democracy Film Corporation, which will undoubtedly answer our many pleas for Justice and do more toward showing the real value and worth of the Negro as an aspiring, conscientious, and desirable citizen, than any channel we have yet tried to bridge. It has been organized by well-known business men of Los Angeles, and should be sponsored by every Negro in the world who possesses a dollar or who can earn one or more and become a share holder in this laudable undertaking of utmost importance to every person of color, be they fair hued or dark skinned. The other day I took it upon myself to discuss the possibilities of such a design, with a man who has been in the theatrical business for years, and who is now a director in a large moving picture concern. I asked him what he thought about its merits, and how it would be received. His answer was, that with the proper backing and advertising, pictures of the progress of the race, that would be distributed through a concern of this kind would do more toward placign the negro in his proper atmosphere than any means yet attempted. "In fact," he said, "pictures of the nature that they propose to put out, will penetrate deeper, and do what the press never can expect to accomplish. With exact conditions before their eyes the world at large will realize that your people are striving harder, under the most difficult circumstances to rise to the place in the world that is being denied them." And listen to this. This is the remark that made me preface this article the way I did. "Why, don't you know, Mrs. Evans, a man like Griffith would take a scheme of this kind and make thousands of dollars out it? He could could see the success that probably your people would never dream about." As a parting he advised me to purchase stock and impress upon all of my people with whom I came in contact to do the same. And I firmly believe that if we, as a race uphold the efforts of the Democracy Film Corporation, we will be, not only proud that we are stock-holders, but gratified to know that at last a means has been found, whereby we may prove to the world that what we have written is true, what we have spoken and asked for is rightly and justly deserved, thereby pleasing us in our proper sphere, and relieving the narrowly constructed Caucasian, that the actions of an irresponsible race person, should not be used as a weapon against the entire race to place us in a despicable position with those who would give a helping hand to help us crush the terrible curse of prejudice. And an equally important advantage will also be achieved for members of the race who are artistically inclined. We possess rare talent. There are those of us who are gifted historically, who have never had an opportunity to display our genius, but have to be content to remain in a dormant state, unable to display the cleverness with which we have been bestowed. It will open the door of hope to many who have never had the least advantage in the direction that their talents lead, and add other laurels to race attributes that are now mounting into the thousands, and Think how embarrassed we would be, if the organizers, for want of the proper backing by their own people, would have to appeal to the opoite race for the furthering of their efforts, and whatever rewards would be forthcoming, would go to those who have tried to keep us down. Think of the inconsistency of the thing! Imagine oppressors realizing results and making thousands of dollars off of those they have kept under foot, that merely for financial reasons they would be willing to put forth before the world the commendable traits of a people they have for centuries tried to keep below the level of all civilized peoples. Let us be above such an exploit. If we are the least bit possessed of the pride for which we are continually claiming, if we are anxious to invest a dollar for the benefit of the entire race, if, for no other reason than the realization of a selfish desire to increase our personal accounts, I advise to invest in the Democracy Film Corporation, and for once, let it be sent broadcast that the Negroes of California, the most far Western of the States, has launched the enterprise that bids fair to startle the world with Negro Advancement. And now, by appologies to the corporation. If I have usurped by singing your praises, and earned your condemnation for being officious, I humbly beg your pardon; but deep down in my heart, ever since I first read of your efforts in the "Eagle" heart and soul has been with you, and I feel that, without a doubt, you will be more than successful, and certain that when once our people realize the great work you are doing, they will flock to you to give you every backing and place you in the Moving Picture world where you rightly belong. MARGUERITE BENSTON-EVANS SACRAMENTO CITIZENS EXCEL IN HOSPITALITY. The editor of this journal after a strenuous 60 day's absence as an officer in the State Assembly also as the recipient of a marvelous hospitality, has survived it all and reported back to Mrs. Bass on time. But withal we cannot refrain from writing a line of appreciation to the good people of Sacramento and to inform the Eagle readers that we have not labored in vain for at no time has our people in that particular section failed to demonstrate their appreciation of our efforts along the lines of journalism. And in unison with Assemblyman Roberts we can never forget the high regard of this people. Early on our arrival Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott and Mr. J. W.

Metcalf, pioneer and well-known attorney of this city, is out with his nominating petition for city Attorney. Though engaged in private practice for the past several years, he has had experience both as a county attorney and city attorney. For four years he was assistant District Attorney for San Diego County, as well as Attorney for the State Harbor Commission, which prosecuted numerous suits against those claiming San Diego tide land. Since coming to Los Angeles he acted as City Attorney for Glendale for a little over a year. At one time he was associated with ex-Senator Del Valle and Judge Frank R. Finlayson, now presiding judge of the district appellate court. Several years ago Mr. Metcalf was retained by the property holders of Bunker Hill and successfully opposed the cutting down of the hill, and as attorney for the First and Second Street Tunnel Association won out in favor of the Second Street tunnel, which has been held back on account of the war. Mr. Metcalf's friends claim for him splendid executive ability as well as legal fitness for the position of City Attorney. He knows no color, race or sect better than another, but is for justice at all times and places. Los Angeles, Cal., April 8, 1919. Rev. Dr. Charles Edward Locke. Los Angeles, California. My dear Dr. Locke. Permit me herewith to introduce to you my friend Mr. John N. Metcalf, who is a candidate for City Attorney. I have known Mr. Metcalf during the last twenty years, and can highly recommend him, as a good and loyal citizen and a capable and efficient attorney. If elected I am certain that he will attend to the business of the city with ability and integrity, and will always be found on the right side of all moral issues that may arise. I commenced him to you. Very truly yours, (Signed) A. E. POMEROY. Los Angeles, Cal., April 23, 1919. Mr. Editor. Permit me to say a few words in your paper in regard of the coming campaign. Being a man of my race, hundreds of people ask me daily concerning the various candidates. I only have one axe to grind and that is on the City Attorneyship. I have looked the field over closely and I have weighed the various candidates and I find among them one John N. Metcalf. In looking over Mr. Metcalf I find he is the lesser evil of the men now aspiring fir the City Attorneyship. I deal with these white men 365 days in the year and I ought to know something about them. Mr. Metcalf belongs in a class of white men who know all men equal regardless of race or color and that is what he has proven himself among his many friends and followers, such men as Judge Craig and Judge Willis who always deal out the law to all men alike. Mr. Metcalf does belong to the black race, but when it comes to dealing out justice he knows not any man by color, and the only weapon that the negro has is the ballot. None of the white race love the negro, but let us choose the lesser evil among them. You will hear various stories about various candidates through negro politicians and also white politicians. They care not who is elected only as a matter of dollars and cents with them personally, but all race leaders try, to vouch for his race. Christ says, "A man who tries to save his life shall lose it, but a man who gives up his life shall live again." man and I hope that you will help me to get all our people's voters and whisper in their ears for Mr. Mecalf. Hoping this will be approved by our race in general. I am. J. B. CAPTAIN GAINES GIVES VIEWS To the colled citizens of Los Angeles ...As an old timer, I have watched the development of Los Angeles for the last twenty years. I deem it expedient—and at this time proper, that I should speak to you concerning the campaign of Mr. Cesner Williams as Mayor, for the city of Los Angeles. This campaign extends further my friends, than a mere campaign for Mayor. The Democratic Party is causing it's propaganda to issue that only Democrats should be elected not only to the office of Mayor of all the pre- minent cities of the 1 west, but to all other offices, because next year is Presidential Election Year. If we, as colored citizens of the City of Los Angeles, without further investigating the campaign of Mr. Snyder, than he has done some things for us, we shall find when too late, that we have made a great mistake. In furthering the campaign of Mr. Snyder, we are simply laying the foundation upon which the Democratic Party intends of build for the presidency next year. Mr. Williams should appeal without hesitancy to the righteous voter of this city because he is righteously competent and eminently qualified for the position of Mayor. Sincerely yours, CAPTAIN E. L. GAINES. DEMOCRACY FILM COROPRATION Chaplain W. W. E. Gladden, well-known Army Chaplain, trusted and respected throughout the United States and the Philippines, is now Secretary of the Democracy Film Corporation; superceding Mr. Sidney P. Dones in that capacity. Mr. Dones has felt it incumbent upon him to resign owing to his increasing activities in his Real Estate Business which precludes him from paying the attention to the new film corporation that is necessary. The Feature Photoplay, "INJUSTICE," will go far towards eliminating Race Prejudice, and will show the loyal and gallant part taken in the war by the Colored Race of this country, and our local Army Officers and Soldiers will all be featured in the production.

The author, and director of "IN-JUSTICE" Captain Leslie T. Peacock) has had over 600 photoplays successfully produced from his pen amongst others being, "Neptune's Daughter," which made a financial profit of over a million dollars for the Universal Film Co.; and amongst other famous film Stars that Captain Peacocks has helped to success are: Alice Brady, Emmy Wehlen, Kitty Gordon, Charles Ray, Clara Kimball Young, Earle Williams, Lewis Fields, Florence Lawrence; Annette Kellerman; Mary Fuller; Eddie Lyons; Lee Moran; Robert, Warwick; Mary Miles Minter; Jackie Saunders; Vivian Martin; Kathleen Clifford; Douglas Fairbanks; Baby Marie Osborne; Alice Joyce; Blanche Sweet; Williams Shea; Leah Baird; and Rosemary Theby. "INJUSTICE" will employ over 300 actors and actresses in its making and all with the exceptio not two — German Officers—will be of the Colored Race. It will be shown, when completed, in every part of the world, and arrangements are already being made for the selling and exploiting of the picture, which should, with careful handling, return financial profits of many hundreds of thousands of dollars to the stockholders.

The Royal Three Entertain De Luxe Immediately preceding our departure from the Capitol City we were one of the fortunate guests to a dinner De Luxe which was given complimentary to Assemblyman F. M. Roberts by the "Royal Three," an organization composed of the following: Misses Alice Logan, Pres; Minnie Crawley, Secy.; and M. Cummings, Treas. The highest skill of the culinary art was called into action on this occasion and every known application to make the affair the best possible, was resorted to; and to say a wonderful success was attained is putting it mildly indeed. Amid beautiful decorations the dining table was laden with all those things that go to make a dinner the class; and in 11 courses the most sumptuous repast possible was served and the "Royal Three" were showered with congratulations for their success. Guests of the "Royal Three" were: Hon. F. M. Roberts; Editors J. B. Bass and Mr. C. W. Wilson. Folks Home Campaign Are You S. P. Johnson, Chairman 2329 E. 8th St., Los Angeles Mrs. S. B.
