The author-director, Captain Leslie T. Peacock, of the super-feature, "Injustice," is now selecting acting "types" for the production, also the necessary studio force. The Film Studio at N. Soto street, Eastlake Park, has been leased by the Democracy Film Corporation, and the production of "Injustice" will be soon under way.

Army officers and soldiers especially needed for the production of "Injustice," which will show the noble part played by the colored Race in the late war, and which will be a direct answer to "The Clansman," and will go far towards killing the Race prejudice. Those who have purchased stock in the Corporation will, naturally, be given preference as regards employment at the studio. Those wishing acting parts in the production should bring or mail photographs to the down-town office, so that the director may judge how the applicants will photograph on the screen.

Bradshay, assisted by Mrs. Cornelius and Mrs. A. Gibens. Red carnations and Mrs. A. Gibens predominated in the decorations, and covers were laid for sixteen, and a seven-course dinner was enjoyed by the guests. But the guest of honor's real surprise came when a large, birthday cake lighted with sixteen candles was placed before her, and after being served with that delicious cake and cream, every one repaired to the living room, where the demi-tasse were enjoyed. On last Wednesday, Mrs. Bradshaw had the compliment returned and was agreeably surprised by Mrs. Cornellus, assisted by Mrs. Haygood, the occasion being Mrs. Bradshaw's birthday. A pink and white color scheme was carried out in lavish floral decorations of carnations and roses. A most delicious dinner was served and a beautiful birthday cake, decorated with pink and white candles, graced the table. The guests for this delightful occasion were the Mesdames Reescor and J. Anderson, Chicago; S. Holt, Indianapolis, Ind., Wm. Tarleton, L. C. Schaffer, S. E. Jones, N. V. Conner and Mesers. Wm. Davis, C. C. Cornellus, Dr. Tarleton, Attorney C. Darden and W. Tyler, C. D. Conner, W. Watson, L. W. Fair and Holmes of Pasadena. After wishing the honoree many happy returns of the day all departed declaring Mrs. Cornellus and Mrs. Haygood to be ideal hostesses. Mme. Spivey purchased a beautiful home at 1432 E. 15th St., as a present for Mrs. Ward, her mother. The California Eagie San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY MAY 10, 1919 LARGEST and LOS ANGELES Build H. Anderson, Preacher TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN My attention has been called to the fact that certain parties have been circulating false statements to the eject that in my testimony in the late Woodman trial I stated that all of the Colored Pulpite of our city had been polluted by the underworld gang. These statements are untrue. What I did testify is that the underworld gang had polluted some of our pulpits and some of our attorneys. The polluted pulpits among other things either refuse to preach out against our vice conditions which are destroying our young men and young women or attack the laymen who are fighting the underworld gang. As to the polluting of some of our attorneys, the District Attorney's investigators have the facts, which they will be glad to furnish any representative organization of our people. God bless those members of the Colored Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance who so bravely voted to fight the false leaders of our race months ago, and who so forcefully spoke the truth in that memorable meeting at Wesley Chapel. Thank God! A new day is on for the Colored people of Los Angeles. The decent Christian people are now in control, and the underworld gang is in discord. Let the decent men and women of our race back up with their dollars, their effort and their prayers the courageous ministers of the gospel who fearlessly fight the underworld gang leaders; and let every Christian brotherhood, and women's society help to redeem the wasted lives of the two hundred or more colored women and the five hundred or more colored men who are the victim's of organized vice in our midst. (Signed) HUGH E. MACBETH. SOLITICAL POT PIE. I told you so! was in evidence ever since last Tuesday's primaries. Captain Gaines could not even bring over enough pep from Pasadena, where the pepper trees grow, to make a respectable showing for his candidate, Gesner Williams. And they said W. H. Sander (Pop) was a puzzle, but any time Pop doesn't know what he is doing we are in on it. Well, it appears that to get results with the people, you must at least be a part and parcel of them. One thing we will say, and that is that the Republican Protective League keeps trying, and who knows but that it will grow and become a factor. The only solution along the lines of political effort is to organize, and keep organized, for the things worth while. Bert L. Farmer, it is said, is still running. The defeat of James P. Britt for a place on the ticket is to be regretted, as he would indeed make us a splendid Councilman, but we look to see him come back and win easily at another time. The contest for both the head of the ticket and the City Council prom- ```markdown ``` ises to be one of the most strenuous and exciting elections ever held in the history of this man's town. If anybody told anybody that they could deliver any vote to any particular candidate in the black belt, they were shown up on last Tuesday. The people down this way vote as they please. THE COLORED SOLDIER AND THE FRENCH MAMELLE! If there is any one question which has received more attention than was due it the same is now stated. What will the French attitude be? What will the Soldier in Black expect, and how will he act in a country where freedom has a deep and abiding significance? Many gray hairs have followed in the wake of their solution, and other things I will preserve for later narrations. "A man is a man" has always been the motto of the Frenchman. As to the women they are more than true to the ideals of their country. Being sympathetic by nature women of all lands are lovers of justice, and where they seemingly help carry a burning torch economic conditions have a greater weight than any assent to prejudice or its offspring. In France however the barriers are none and the outlet has been natural. Our soldiers have enjoyed a spirit of real comradeship, all doors have opened to them, they have been shapers of their own destiny. This alone should make my comments interesting and illuminating. Some thou' this new opportunity (as they call it) would be eagerly grasped by our Boys and create a terrible situation. It has often been embraced and appreciated at it's proper worth. To be treated as a man and given an opportunity for a free expression of social tendencies, coupled with the rigors of war was enough to attract any fellow. I am pleased to say that they have acquitted themselves men and no disturbing realities will haunt us in the days to come. Returning ships will bring some of our boys who willingly surrendered to the calls of cupid. Sooner or later all of us do that however, but the one impressing thing has been the constant longing for a sight of the "ever reliable brown". Day in and day out I have heard it's expression and that too by those who have sparred mightily to miss cupids intended blow. You cannot judge this question by those who have taken the count but rather by the vast number who stayed the full number of rounds and came out fresh. The Chocolate Soldar has a popularity all his own. It is not a gift but the rightful reward following meritorious conduct. He is known to be gentle and kind, and because of this the warmest sort of welcome greets him at all times and at any place. He will come home bringing with him the highest respect of the French who love him. Our boys have also given the lie to the bugbear "social equality". They have enjoyed it here in the highest of circles but the song of their hearts tells its own story "The first love is the last love, and the best love of all". All of us have learned to appreciate and love our own girls the more, and when we return the intensified fervor of our embrace will be consuming in its fulness. BENJAMIN C. ROBESON 1st. Lieut.

Synder and Mayor F. T. Woodman, won the honor of contesting for the chief executive of the city at the general election on Tuesday June the 3rd While not near 50 per cent of the registered vote was cast in the primaries, the contest nevertheless was sharp and full of interest. Snyder led Woodman by about 4000 votes while Weaver ran a poor third and Williams was out distanced. All of the present Council members were renominated but some of them were way down on the list; the Betterment of Public Service Association succeeded in getting every one of its councilmanic candidates on the ticket. The Eagle supported no ticket but it is gratifying to note that all of those who sought that column to announce their aspirations' fared quite well indeed. Watch the "Soaring Eagle" and you cannot go wrong. A GREAT WORK AT OXNARD Oxnard has always been regarded as a hard and tough field; and so it is. But since Rev. J. D. Pettigrew came and took the pastorate of the St. Paul Baptist Church here, there has come a great change for the betterment in the life and conditions of the colored people in this city. Rev. Pettigrew took charge of the work here on the first of January, 1919, and had been here but a short while when he diagnosed the situation in Oxnard; and began to apply the remedy. He saw that the great need of the place was love and unity and the word of God. He found only three members of the church, and two others affiliating Christians here, but he laid before them his plans and began at once his actual work for the betterment of the church and race in this city. The people—saints and sinners—eagerly took hold of his plans and worked them with enthusiasm in the beginning of his work here. He found at Oxnard a crude, uninviting, unfinished church and parsonage in which to do the Master's work. He saw that it was impossible to do any successful christian work with such crude and uninviting equipment, so he felt it to be his first duty to improve and beautify the church and parsonage and make it inviting and attractive as a basis for a more successful work. He put on a rally for the raising of money to accomplish this needed success on the 10th of March which was to culminate on the 23rd of March. He sent out four solicitors with books to canvass and solicit aid from the public. After the first $110.00 was raised he began to improve the church; and March the 23rd had made quite a wonderful change in the appearance of the church building. On the Rally Day, March 23rd he held services morning, afternoon and night. The program for the day's services was published in the daily paper and on Sunday afternoon the pastors of the white M. E. Church the Presbyterian Church and the First Baptist Church of the city, with parts of their congregations came out ```markdown ``` View of Church and Crowd in the afternoon of the great Rally Day March 23, 1919. and took active parts on the program, each minister delivering a friendly and encouraging address. This meeting was a great epoch-making occasion for our church work and the race in this community. The amount raised that afternoon was $154.48 in cash and $67.00 in pledges to be paid the next week or ten days. When this great crowd saw the wonderful changes that had been made in the church in so short a time, they were filled with encouragement and enthusiasm to stand by the new pastor and help him to accomplish his aims. Two-thirds of this great audience were white friends, owners of ranches from the surrounding country, and wealthy residents of the city. From that time on money continued to show up the pastor was able to complete in a most thorough and beautiful manner, his desired improvements on both the church and parsonage. Almost $600.00 was raised and all of the improvements including a good piano were paid for as they were purchased; so there is not a cent of debt left on the church. Everything has been paid for. The spiritual progress of the church has kept pace with the remarkable material progress. The Spirit of God has been sensibly felt View of Church and Crowd in the March 23, 1919. in every meeting and has been growing more and more intense until we are now on the verge of a great Spiritual awakening. Already two persons have been happily converted and there are several more who are asking for prayers that they may be able to return home to their father's fold. The attendance has also increased greatly. It started out with three and four at the beginning of our pastor's ministry and has constantly gradually increased, until the climax was reached on Easter Sunday, when we had 30 out at Sunday School, 31 at morning service and 45 at the evening service. This is very good for Oxnard, whose colored population is now only about 60. Surely we have entered upon a new era for Oxnard, and the future outlook for the church and the race is much brighter than it was a few weeks ago. ```markdown ``` THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT.

There is always some one to take the other fellow's place. We know there will be a few tears shed, a few words of sorrow expressed, and our souls commended to Him who doeth all things well; but, judging by those who have gone on before, and if it were possible for us to arise from our sanctum sanctorium, we would quickly find that so and so has succeeded us, and bless our hearts, if they are not going us one better. And the world goes on just the same. Oftimes we hear the remark made that "if I go, they will certainly miss me." Yes, we will be missed in our particular environment, probably for a day or so, in the little outside world that became used to our coming and going; but the big, noisy, busy treadmill of life, that is constantly giving and taking, hardly notices our passing, and will not cease to move: We are but an infinitesimal part of the ebb and flow of the tide of humanity, that rises with time aind sinks in the same full measure.

J. W. Price im the chair. After a short business session there being some very dis- tinguished visitors, the Alliance did not take up its usual form of pro- cedure, but allowed the time to hear those who came to address it. After listening to talks from Atty. E. Burton E. Ceruti and Hon. M. P. Snyder whose candidacy the Al- lance heartily endorsed, the Alliance was met by a committee of ladies from the Women’s Day Nursery, who made an appeal to the ministers for aid towards their work. This brought out a lively discussion among those present, as it is well known that the Methodist Ministers’ Alliance will not at any time countenance nor help in any way an institutipn that will give or allow to be given in its name dances or anything that savors of vice for its support. The Alliance wish€s it known that it shall ever vigorously oppose any institution that allows such, but be it known that the Methodist Minis- ters’ Alliance stands ready to help and foster any institution that will The Hotel Gordon, of: 750 Pacific Street, Has Moved Nad TO #78 NEW AND SPACIOUS BUILDING AT : 606-608 JACKSON ST. : WHERE IT WILL BE KNOWN AS THE Entertainment Every Evening by fhe Great Jelly Roll and big =~ Jazz Band — Now Open For Business — Ladies Entrance {DON’T FORGET THE ADDRESS: 606 and 608 JACKSON STREET Right Above Kerney Street.

Young helped materially in this as well as the evening services, with his Victorola and sacred selections. At 8 p. m. the church was filled to capacity; the choir rendered its monthly program, which was a credit to them and their leader. The church is beginning to appreciate the importance and worth of its choir.

Sunday was a splendid day at Zion in session at the Y. M. C. A. The Lord's Supper was administered to many communicants whose devotion was sincere. The Rally funds was also swelled by several dollars, and many pledges are yet unpaid. Again we thank all who helped us. Next Sunday being Mothers' Day the pastor will preach on "God's Great Woman." 2 Kings 4:8. Also special sermon at the night service. On the Third Sunday night the pastor will give an illustrated service. These services were meeting with increased favor before the fire discontinued them, and we propose to begin them anew and have one every Third Sunday night. Come and see as well as hear. The choir is still rendering splendid service, the V. C. E. and the Sunday School seem to be putting on new life, let all of Zion rally to the standard and reclaim our own WENLEY CHAPEL M. E. CHURCH Sth and San Julian Sts. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor. Sunday was a financial record breaker at Wesley. Although it was only the first of four great pay days in our 1919 Rally, not even the closing days of former efforts have equal- ed Sunday's record in the cash received in any one day. The collection was as follows: Anniversary collection. $1352.09; Regular Collection. $47.57; making a grand total of $1429.46. The members and friends of Wesley mean business about getting Wesley out of debt in the next two years. This was only the beginning of our effort. Our next Pay Day is June 15th. Let us all pull together on that day and excell the high standard we set Sunday. It can be done and with God's help let us do it. Mothers' Day will be observed Sunday. The pastor will preach, appropriate sermons morning and evening. Come early to get a good seat. We will close our anniversary of offering Sunday. Funds received later will be credited on the June Pay Day. Strangers and visitors always welcome. The Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth will hold their Annual Thanksgiving sermon here at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, May 11th. Rev. J. W. Price will preach the sermon. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST— (Cor. 18th) and Palmyra Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs, D. D., Pastor Two soul-stirring sermons were delivered by Rev. Greggs last Sunday. All who were present greatly enjoyed the services and felt uplifted. The Choir wa sat its best as usual. In the morning the great jubilee—"Standing in the Need of Prayer"—was rendered, the solo part being sweetly sung by Mrs. Ernestine Beavers. In the evening the musical feature was a beautiful duet sung by Prof. Johnson and Bro. Emmanuel Hall, which was indeed a treat. Seven accessions to membership were recorded for the day. The Second Quarterly Conference was held Thursday evening, May 1, and many surprising reports were made. Fifty-one new members were taken in last Quarter, making the total membership now 919. Expenditures for last Quarter were $3,127.30. Balance on hand $219.38. Services were as good as usual when our noble pastor preached from the subject: "The Destruction of Falsehood." This sermon was a great one. We always have a joyful time. The only thing Zion is sad over is the unsaved souls. Come all, none are barred. B. Y. P. U. at 5:30 p. m. Church services for the evening begin at 7:30 o'clock. We had baptism last Sunday night, and what a glorious time it was. Come one. Come all; Come large, or small. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH 740 Maple Avenue Rev. H. D. Prowd, Pastor. A large number and very pleasing faces showed the increasing interest in our Sunday School last Sunday. The lesso nwas very heartily enjoyed by all. Mrs. Evans, the Home Department Superintendent made a most commendable report of her work, and was accorded the unanimous approval of all. The 11 o'clock service was attended with Divine help and blessing. The pastor afforded opportunity for the members to speak THE CALIFORNIA and the heart pourings were sincere and encouraging. At night the Lord's Supper was observed and many received the right hand of fellowship. Much credit must be given Deaconess Cotton, Sister Taylor and all the ladies who helped them for the successful Entertainment which was carried out last week, the proceeds of which will go toward our Church Building Fund. The pastor will open a series of Meetings, beginning this Sunday night. He will be assisted by Rev. Cuddy, who will use Charts, illustrating the Second coming of our Lord. Special songs.

Appropriate programs for Mother's day at 8 p. m. by the Choir. Theite Missionary Society holds their regular monthly meeting at 3 p. m. Sunrise Prayer Meeting, Sunday morning. Our services last Lord's day were very well attended with a good Spiritual Heart at each service; one addition to the church. Come and worship with us. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST— (Holiness) Hooper Ave. and East Adams St. Elder Wm. Washington, Pastor. Last Sunday was a glorious day at Bethel for all who were present. Sunday School was well attended and very active. At the 11 o'clock service the Lord gave us a burning and searching message through his messenger. Evidence of his presence and divine love was wonderfully made known: Text. Romans 8:35-36. At the evening hour we were favored with an excellent message from Elder W. L. Lewis. During the morning hour two accessions were made to the higher life. The church is continually growing in interest and number. Bebtel Church mourns the loss of Mrs. Bettie D. Dunton, who passed from this life April 30th at the age of 75 years, in the home of her sun-in-law, Elder R. A. Garrison, 1609 W. 36th Place. She was indeed an earnest church worker; a true Christian; a sympathetic neighbor; a devoted mother and an advocate of true womanhood. Bethel has indeed lost a loyal and faithful member. Her life will forever be conspicuous among us. Next week's services as usual—All are welcome. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothran, Manuscript Services were quite interesting and inspiring. Presence of visitors was inspiring. At 11 o'clock a.m., the pastor spoke upon the subject of Christ's charge to Peter. His text was these words, "Simon Peter son of Jonas loveth thou me more than all of these? He saith, yea Lord. Thou knowest that I love thee, he said unto him, feed my lambs, etc." John 21:15-17. The burden of our Lord ministry and the passion of His great heart, said the pastor, culminated in his teaching lessons of love and service. If ye love me keep my commandments. The Misses Naomi Turnage, Ruth Thompson, Bessie and Nelle Young, and Irene Hobson of Denver. Colorado were welcome guests at the parsonage Sunday for dinner. The pastor and family greatly enjoyed the presence of these young people in their home. Mothers Day will be observed at our church next Lord's Day. A befitting program is being arranged for the occasion, which will take place at the evening services. 8 o'clock. You are cordially invited. TENNIS CHATTER. (Wm. M. Waton) It must not be forgotten that the Decoration Day Trophy Tourney of Ladies' and men's Singles to be held at the Alpha Courts will begin Sunday morning, May 25th. The semifinals and finals will be staged Friday, May 30th. The entry fee is only $1.90 and there should be a long list of entries as those two beautiful silver cups are well worth competing for. They will be turned over to the winner at the Trophy Dance, Assembly Hall. It now seems assured that at least one player will be sent to New York in August to represent us at the National Tennis Tournament. The U. S. R. R. administration reports a reduction of one-third on round-trip fares East of the Rockies, effective July 1st. With all details figured on from the time of leaving un- till the day of the return, (all owing for 30 days) $225.00 will amply supply each player, and when each of the eight clubs subscribe their "widow's mite," which the Federation expects them to do, the Tennis-Players-to-New-York Fund should easily swell up like a "poisoned pup" way above the $300.00 mark, and the every member a subscription-clerk campaign is just in its infancy. I'll say at least two players will "get a start at old Broadway" next August at the expense of the Western Federation of Tennis Club, and its many well-wishers, what say you? "Well Doc A. C. Garrott is now the highest bidder and present owner of that pretty gold tennis-players-to-New-York subscription fund cup on display at Prentice's, will some "live" one please either call the Doc or "raise the ante" to eight rocks? From time to time a picture will appear in these columns of each player who entered the tournaments of 1919 including those of May 30th, and July 4th. Players who already have suitable cuts may forward same to the writer, others may procure them through this paper by mailing $1.50 accompanied by your latest photo to Wm. Mells Watson, 1474 E. 23rd St., Phone South 5218. Very pleasant news reaches us that Miss Marian Garrott, daughter of Doctor A. C. Garrott, president of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs, won the 1919 championship in ladies' singles and mixed doubles at Fisk University, and is the possessor of a very handsome medal. Her partner also won the championship in men's singles—Hurrah for Glendale! THE CHURCH OF GOD. Some months ago I produced this subject through the press and asked the question—"Where is the Church of God?" In the midst of so many that call themselves the church of God I am unable now in these latter days to recommend to you the real true church of God; it would have to go back to attempt to do so. Ishall have to go back for ages and generations to recommend and bring to you better knowledge of the Church of God. The visible adn invisible church of God was in the mind of God before the creation of the world. After man disobeyed God and fell from the Holy state. I bring to you information and explanation of visible and invisible Church of God. First we notice the woman was deceived by the serpent, Gen. 3:13. This refers to the first woman down to the second woman. This is the promise from that time. Luke 1:31-34, and behold thou shall conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son and shall call him Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the son of the Highest and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David, and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? We notice Daniel 2:44, and in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed and the kingdom shall not be left to other people but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever. This refers to the same subject which is ni Luke1: 31-34. Genesis 4:25-26, and Adam knew his wife again and she bare a son and called his name Seth, for God said she hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel whom Cain slew, and to Seth to him also was born a son, and he called his name Evas, then began men to call upon the name of the Lord. This is the seed that shall bruise the serpent's head, this isalso the seed that was planted into the new garden. This is the seed that manifested itself by calling upon the name of God. This is the seed that multiplied from that time to the time of Noah's Ark. God did not only baptize Noah and his family, but he baptized all living, and those that were not worthy to live he drowned. God baptized the twelve tribes of Israel in hite Red Sea. We noctie Dieut. 30:11-14, for this commandment which I command thee this day it is not hidden from thee neither is it, far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it unto us that we may hear it and do it? Neither is it beyond hite sea that thou shouldest say, who shall go over the sea for us and bring it unto us that we may hear it and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee in thy mouth and in thy heart that thou mayest do it. This is the twelve tribes of Israel God was preparing through Moses and the propheta. This is the channel that God brought them through and sealed them for the building of the city. Through the same channel in the new generation of Christ to set up his kingdom on earth God sent a Baptist preacher preaching in the : Massey's School of Hair Culture : MASSEY'S TREATMENT IS TO TH SCALP WHAT THE RAIN IS TO THE SOIL.

C. A. SPEAR.....Managing Editor J. B. BASS.....Editor THE FIFTH INDUSTRY We are very much interested in the effort of the Democracy Film Company to qualify and produce something way up at the top, and in as much as the Moving Picture Industry is the Fifth of this country, we can see no reason why this company should not have the support of the people who stand for real progress. The company is reguarally organized under the Blue Sky Laws of this State. All sales of stock must be deposited in the chosen depositary until the entire amount, sufficient to produce the picture is raised. Quite an amount of the Capital Stock has already been subscribed and it is proposed to raise the entire amount by July 1st at which time, the actual work of making the picture will begin. A splendid studio at East Lake Park has been leased. The making of the picture will employ upwards of 300 men and women. Field Agent S. P. Dones is now in Arizona, where he is meeting with a great success in selling shares to the soldiers of the 24th Infantry. Sales are being made throughout the State, and the success of the venture is assured. It is estimated that the picture proposed "Injustice" will be a mint from the start and pay handsome dividends to the stockholders. The play itself is the product of Captain Leslie Peacock, a noted writer who stakes his great reputation on this play. Therefore with this promising outlook, we can see no reason why this people should not eminently qualify on the Fifth Industry of the world and get in the real game of producing something worth while. WORTHY OF STRONG SUPPORT. The California Eagle notes the effort of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to increase its ranks in this bailiwick and taking in consideration the fact that the Association proper has rendered such valiant service for real uplift in this country, its call for a more liberal support should not go unheeded. There is much that can be accomplished right at our door; and with a membership commensurate with the population of this city it can readily be seen that the benefit which would accrue for this people in this section. Oakland with a population of only one-third of this city's has more members by far than we have here and other towns throughout the State in proportion to their population are far ahead of the people of this city; therefore Los Angeles should wake up and rally to the support of this organization, and locally make the same as great here, as it is in the nation. Surely it is from no selfish motive that we make this appeal, for as one of the forces working for advancement in this bailiwick we have never had the ear of our local Association; not one 5-Cent piece have they ever seen fit to put this way for their printing or other publications; therfore we can eminently qualify as unselfish in advocating a strong support for the Association. LAST TUESDAY'S PRIMARIES. The Eagle does not claim any especial credit in the success of any particular candidate as the result of last Tuesday's Primary election; but we do feel gratitude that it is a fact, that the candidates, who had foresight enough to use our space, universally received a large vote in the districts cov- ered largely by this paper; and it demonstrates the fact beyond peradventure that the People have a great faith in the things which the Eagle heralds. Of course we endorsed editorialy no candidate, but the very fact that we flashed and played up Snyder news matter was a factor with the voters which we serve. And now we are coming up to the real test and as our next issues come forth as ever we shall both illuminate and elucidate on the merits of the men who aspire to serve this city, for the ensuing two years. The idea of a member of the Negro Race stalking forth and standing up for civic decency, and not unlike other great reformers standing for a principle, we admit was somewhat stunning to many of our own race, and a mighty majority of the white race, but that very thing happened not long since right here in our own city, and it came pretty near turning the old town upside down. Roscoe Conklin Simmons says that he wouldn't be president, because he hasn't the disposition to be constantly on the ocean as becomes the President of the United States seemingly. J. W. Thompson received more than 3000 votes for the City Council, and that without any organized support from the people; now if we could do this single-handed without any organization, the question is, what could we do with a strong organization behind him? Our advice is brother Thompson next time enlist the people in your cause. MRS. M. J. DAVIS WANTS ALL MOTHERS PRESENT Sunday evening at 7:30 p. m. Mother's Day will be observed at the First A. M. E.

Sparkling liquids, shimmering silks, flashing diamonds, colorful cut-glass, joyful faces, silvery laughter, fantastic music and trip of the toe brought their Fifteen Years to a brilliant close indeed. Wednesday evening, May 7th, 25 of the oldest and dearest of Mr. and Mrs. May's friends met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Harris of 222 E. 5th St. After being ushered into a veritable bower of fern and flowers; pink carnations and pink Sweetpeas, the guests took their several places and soon their expectant eyes did behold a minister come and stand all solemnlike and grim while in his wake the bridal troupe did follow. The bride-elect sweetly veiled in white, the bridegroom happy and exultant, the best man, maid of honor and bridesmaid. Then "will you take this woman as your wedded wife to have and to hold, etc." sealed by the kiss and Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Mays, after 15 years of wedded bliss renewed their covenant under the supervision of Capt. F. H. Crumbly, as minister; Mrs. S. Shackelford as bridesmaid and Mrs. Alice Lucky as Maaron of Honor. The bridal supper consisting of Chicken Salad, garnished with eggs, olives, cheese, hot biscuits, almonds and French vanilla Pistachio Tutti Frutti Brick Ice Cream with marble and pound cake was relished by all due to the culinary art of Mrs. F. Taliham. Throughout the evening the guests were refreshed by punch from a crystal fount everlastingly over which Mrs. Marie Gordon Johnson smilingly queued. Many were the beautiful pieces of cut-glass received by Mr. and Mrs. Mays. Those partaking of the pleasantries of the occasion were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. W. l. Jones; Mr. and Mrs. John Harris; Mr. and Mrs. S. Shackelford; Mr. and Mrs. J. Fingers; Mr. and Mrs. I. Turner; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Houston; Mr. and Mrs. P. Abrams; Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin; Mrs. C. J.

As a result of this happy blending of work with pleasure, it counts its successful achievements by its attempts. Its last regular meeting was held at the sweet home of Mr. and Mrs. Peoples, Fourteenth street. It was under the inspiration to be found in this splendid home that the plans were perfected for the "home-coming," which proved to be "something new under the sun," and which was such a tremendous success.

The Grand United Order of Odd Follows in all departments throughout the State is making a remarkable progress. The various lodges are injecting new blood into their ranks, and in every way making real progress; one lodge alone in Los Angeles has lately added to its membership upwards of 25 new members, and is making a marvelous progress. All the other lodges are likewise demonstrating the same interest, for the upbuilding of their organizations. The Household of Ruth likewise is making real progress, setting up new lodges and making gains in their membership. Mrs. Celia Clark is the head executive officer of the Household, and is making a commendable record in that position. TO THE PUBLIC. At the regular monthly meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held at the Y. M. C. A. Monday evening. April 25th. special arrangements were made for the membership drive which is now on. The National headquarters in New York has asked the Los Angeles branch to raise its membership to 1000 by the 21st of June. The city was divided into districts and a district captain appointed to solicit members in his or her district. Hardly a day passes but what something happens somewhere that has a tendency to impede our progress as a race. We must unite. We must pull together, and I believe, there is no better and more successful way to combat the wrongs continuously heaped upon us than through the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We have less than 300 members, with a population of approximately 30,000. As chairman of the membership drive, I sincerely hope the desired number can be secured. The membership fee is only one dollar per year, and already encouraging reports have been made to the undersigned of new members, will be pleased to cooperate with any of the captains appointed by phone or otherwise, or with any interested individual in order to make this movement an effective as possible.

San Diego, California The Negro Women's Council met Sunday afternoon at Masonic Hall, and much business of importance was transacted. A committee of three from the Negro Women's Civic Center was there, to meet the Council to come in and be a part of the Civic Center, and do away with the Council and call the organization the Negro Women's Civic Center. "But Nothing Doing." E. R. Hutson explained to the Civic Center committee their duty as a center, and distinctly outlined the difference between the two organizations. The committee was willing to take back the report that they remain as a Negro Women's Civic Center, and the Council unanimously voted to help them out in every way possible. Six new members joined the Council and were welcomed in by Mrs. E. Wallace. The Council also voted to help the N. A. A. C. P. to bring Mr. Johnson to San Diego, who will talk to the N. A. A. C. P. on the 15th of May at the Lincoln School. A committee is already appointed to visit the mayor, so listen for immediate results. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church has called as their pastor Rev. W. R. Burgess of Phoenix, Ariz. The members are all coming together rapidly, and we hope to see all of the members back at their posts of duty. The Lord's Supper was administered by the new pastor Sunday evening, and a general consecration meeting was held. The pastor has launched a ten day's meeting, in which we hope man ysouls will come to Christ. The services at the C. M. E. Church last Sunday were at high water mark. Two lovely congregations greeted the presiding elder. The communion was administered and the services were quite inspiring. The presiding elder's subject for next Sunday will be "The Poorest Man on Earth." If you want to enjoy good singing, come to the C. M. E. Church on 28th and National. Mr. E. D. Marshall is on the sick list this week. Mr. Thomas Williams is reported very sick at this writing. The Missionary Society of the Mt.

The Negro Woman's Council will go to Camp Kearny on Mother's Day to take flowers to the sick soldiers. In regard to some of the statements published a short time ago, I, Annie M. Stokes, will beg to say that there has been no grief upon my mind in regards to building a home for the working girl. In 1916 I had planned to go in business with my nephew, who was living in Chicago running on the boats to Michigan as a diner, but was drowned in September, 1915. In preparing myself to go into business with the boy, I went to Oakland to three different hair dressing schools, and also took lessons in manipulating; then later went to San Francisco to the Moler Barber School. After the death of the boy I decided to come to Southern California for a change, thinking I might find some light work, and, as a stranger, could put my lieures hours in working for the King's Daughters' Circle in Oakland, in which I am mother. will tell you how I got into the work. I was living in Berkeley; there was a little mission organized there in 1915; through this we began to come together and often talked of getting up an organization, but there was no step taken to get it together. One day at the Exposition, I thought I would take in the sights of the educational buildings. After spending some time in looking around at the works of all nations, I began to think of the needs of Berkeley. So I began to look around to find something useful to take back to the Church leaders. Coming down the hall, saw some pictures on the wall. They were of many different kinds, such as nursing, dressmaking, and many other things of interest. But thinking that anything of that nature would take a great deal of money and time, I decided it would not do. As I was turnig around to leave the place, I found myself standing in front of the office doors of the King's Daughters and I knew then it would be just the thing for our little mission, for it was the work of our fathers and couldn't be narrowed down, but would become broader all the time; which it did, for I was looking for something for Berkeley only. But when organized, took in Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda. So I went into the office, and the lady in charge asked me if I was interested in this work. I told her we were looking to find something of the kind in our little mission. She told me if I would get eight or ten of my people she would come over and organize us. So I was ready to go and get them together. Now can give myself credit for being mother of a very fine circle in Oakland. I came to San Diego nearly two years ago and tried to get up a circle, but became very discouraged, for there were no accommodations, worth the charges, so then I decided to buy a lot and give it to the King's Daughters in Oakland. I bought and paid for a beautiful lot in La Jolla and presented it to the circle there; but they did not accept, so I have decided to keep the lot there and make my own home there in a very few years. Then I will buy a lot in San Diego and give it to the white King's Daughters' Circle for a recreation. The Church of God wilderness to preapre a people for the Lord, baptizing all that came to his baptism Jesus Christ came himself and asked baptism of John so you see he received baptism of water, and of Holy Ghost before he went on official duty according to the fore knowledge of God he was three years setting up his church on earth. God gave his twelve men which were his disciples that he might teach them all the knowledge and requirements of the Church of God. These were in the fore knowledge of God before the foundation of the world, this plan of salvation. Matt. 24:5; For many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many. Matt. 24:23-24, Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo here is Christ, or there believe it not. For there, shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect. We are forbidden to follow after any doctrine outside the Baptist Church. They say here is Christ over here in these different churches, believe it not because God only has one church. Some people want to explain why I am a Baptist; the right answer to that is there is not other way prepared. I you can't come through God's channel there is no other way prepared. J. H. FOSTER, God's Messenger, 1468 W. 35th St. (Continued from Page One) those gone on before, those passing before us for review, and those who are yet to come. History repeating itself. History in the making, history to be evolved. The heroes of yesterday have left indefible records, emblazened on escutcheons of gold that have been inspirations to the rising generations. They have been emulated, and their praises sung, but each new emergency furnishes its quota of heroes to be idolized and handed about until the Grim Reaper waves His hand, and they pass into the pages that tradition allots them in the making of histories. And each one has done as much as his country would have him do. He is immortalized, but the next crisis will be bridged without him; someone else will do just as he did, and win as many laurels, and the world will not cease to move. Realizing these vicissitudes of life, knowing that our lives are preaged by the natural course of events, why cannot mankind come to an amicable agreement on all things relative to brotherly love? Creator has said that the kingdom of the earth shall be equally divided The Mighty One, the Father of us all. He who is responsible for the survival of humanity, has spoken, spoke ages ago, and, through the generations and on to the present, is still unneeded. Mon are greedy, and so holds an upper hand in the general make-up of the world, the weak are oppressed the world is crushed in a web of trickery that cannot be unraveled until it is settled right. As we grow older, we realize that when comes with age, that the teachings of the Goblen Rule are not being carried on, and that we must fit ourselves to aid in the up-lift of all mankind. No matter how high we rise in life, there is always room for improvement, self-praise is no praise; let us be judged by our brighter prospect. Phone De Leon to those not so well blessed as ourselves, those who are not so fortunate in making a success of this life as we have done. Remember, we are all poor, weak mortals. If God forgives, why not mankind. Remember, to err is human, to forgive is divine. And when we go west, pass out into the sea of immortality, cross the bar, those who have been left behind will cherish our memories, will reverence our actions on earth, for there is another who will step in to take up the cudgel where we left off, and the world will not cease to move.

And Ice Cream We Pay The Tax The revival meetings that have been in progress at the Friendship Baptist Church for the past ten days and will continue until Sunday night, are meeting with success. ' The Rev. R. H. Wade, who has done the preaching, has made the gospel so plain that, indeed a way-faring one, though a foll, need not err. There has been sixteen or eighteen candidates for baptism, two by letter and three or four that went to other churches. The Lord has wonderfully blessed the meeting, and the Rev. Wade has truly been endowed with the Holy Spirit. His sermons have been exceedingly beneficial to all and the meetings have been well attended; th singing has been inspiring and the work of the Deaconess Board in their opening services and daily work has proved the wisdom of the Rev. Tillman's arrangements for the meeting. Also the evangelistic committee has stirred up and sought out all the sinners in the city and urged on their coming out to hear the gospel that they might have the opportunity of accepting the plan of salvation as laid down in God's word and propounded by the Rev. Wade. The meetings will close on Sunday MUSIC NOTES The average person hardly realizes the important part the Negro is taking in music today. There is hardly a program by the greatest singers of today but that a composition by a Negro composer, or one pertaining to the Negro race, is used. The spiritual is being arranged for solo instrumentals also, mong some of the most popular are: "Deep River," "Swing on, Sweet Charlot," "Steal Away," and several others. One has to glance only at the programs of artists to note these facts. We are, indeed, entering upon a new era in music, and the Negro is holding a promising place. The possibilities are overwhelming: for instance, in the magazine "Musical America" for April 5, there is an article by Adolph Bohm, the great Russian dancer, in which, in speaking of the "operatic possibilities" in America, he says: "Again, in the music of the Negro race there are brilliant possibilities. I should like to stage a Negro ballet with people who understand the black race thoroughly, and the result would be, I am sure, thrilling. Besides the folk's works, there are fine specimens of art in music, such, for instance, as the admirable works of John Alden Carpenter and Charles T. Griffes, whom I admire very much. One of the most recent works of the former will make an exquisite ballet, as also will the splendid suites of Mr. Griffes." Is this not an encouraging aspect for the music of our people, and is not the field ripe for our Race composers? The Evening Herald of this city recently devoted nearly a column on the front page of its second section to extol the merits of Will Dorsey of New York, now a resident of London and who, as the paper puts it, has sent London "Jazz mad." He is "America's most representative business man in London this minute." Over $100 a night is paid the trap drummer of his orchestra. He is leader of the jazz music at one of London's most famous music halls, and lives in a handsome flat in an exclusive West End section of London. Can we parallel this among our colored musicians of this country? John McCormack, the great tenor, is using as one of his great numbers on his programs Coleridge-Taylor's "She Rested in the Broken Brook." He has recently given three concerts in this city. How the music of the Colored man affected the French people is only explained in an interview with St. James Reese Europe published in a recent issue of the Literary Digest. St. Europe also expressed his belief in the future of the Negro and his music. In the same issue there is an article on the origin of the term 'Jazz.' There are conflicting opinions, but they all agree in one respect, at least, and that is: however doubtful the origin of the name, the music is without question the sole property of the black man, and no one else has been entirely successful in rendering it well. Los Angeles is fortunate in having another musician added to her rapidly growing music colony of the Race. This time it is a young organist in the person of Mr. Bell, who is doing relief work at the pipe organ of the California Theater, one of the finest and largest picture houses in the ```markdown ``` evening. There will be baptism at the morning service, and the right hand of fellowship will be extended to the new members and the Lord's Supper administered at the evening service. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the Household of Ruth will hold its annual sermon at the Friendship Baptist Church, and the Rev. Tillman will preach the sermon and the Choir will furnish the music. All are invited to attend. The Women's Council, of which Mrs. Georgia Weatherton is the president, will celebrate John Brown's day at the Central Park in Pasadena Saturday, May 10th, at 3 o'clock. Miss Marie Ford will direct the singing of a chorus of girls. The Harris-Bilbrow Sisters Ladies' Quartette will also render some selections. Mr. H. H. Rigga will make an address, and Attorney Hail Pascal Pearson will deliver the principal address. All are invited. The May Fair that is in progress at the Metropolitan Baptist Church has been doing fairly well this past week, and they expect to continue until the 12th, and look for greater success as the closing time draws near. West. We are justly proud of this new advance, of the Race in music. JOHN A. GRAY. PROTESTED TO COUNCIL Residents and taxpayers in the vicinity of Arkansas, Illinois and Sonoma streets, to the number of forty-two, today petitioned the City Council to deny colored people the right to erect a church at the northwest corner of Illinois and Sonoma streets. The matter was referred to the City Council for adjuvement, but Mayor James Honey declared his belief that according to the Constitution of the United States, there could be nothing done for the petitioners. The lot on which the church is to be erected belongs to be Toro delfrio and the minister of the church is to Conquest. DEMOCRACY IN VALLEJO.

The following from the Vallejo Daily Press indicates the attitude of the people of that city in this day of real simon pure Democracy: and we rise to inquire if this is what we have just fought, bled and died for? MEANDERINGS Last night as I was kneeling Your voice came to me softly stealing, And I forgot to pray—I listened. As sweet memories came to me Of days dear heart that I have spent with thee, And then I heard you gently say Come to me my darling, Lay your head upon my breast, Let my love cast out all shadows, In my arms oh child, find rest. A wounded heart's sad cry. I prayed dear Lord, I'll trust I know, that thou art just; Oh, be thou nigh. I'll watch and pray and wait I'll rave no more against my fate I cannot change the tide of Destiny My bark is frail; the tide flows steadily. But this I know, your thoughts keep seeking mine. And like a lover's arms my thoughts entwine. Come to me my darling, Lay your head upon my breast Let my love cast out all shadows In my arms, Oh child, find rest. IN MEMORY Composed by A. L. Porter to Miss H. Covington in memory of her dear brother. Dark this world has grown and dreamy. Since, that wall remembered day, When they took our darling brother, From his earthly home away. And they bore him to the hilltop, Gently laid him in his tomb, Where the green grass waves above him, And the wild flowers sweetly bloom.
