With intrepid daring and unsurpassed bravery they played their part well in the momentous drama whose end has been signalized by the dropping of the curtain.

However with the words of Carney on their lips "The old Flag never touched the ground Boys," they surrounded themselves with a halo of inspiration, and left an imperishable name which will ring forever down the corridors of this momentous epoch. He returns now with the gleam of the victor in his eye, wanting his just reward. Contrary to expectations he perceives no apparent change, but finds the murky waters of prejudice still stagnant, and commanded in ungrateful tones to drink therefrom. The feeling engendered needs no description. Those who kept the fires burning with a longing fruition of their hopes in sight at home find themselves amazed, chagrined, and on the point of desperation. Some wise enough to read the signs are planning and waiting for the coming hour, others are drifting from their moorings and defying whirlpool, shoal, and all. In an hour like this I sound the cry.—"Don't Rock the Boat."—We are passing through a period now destined to try the soul. We have done our work and we demand our wages; we have won the race and wait impatiently for the garland of victory. To stand in line seems pretty tough especially when we can't discern our names on the roll. Leadership, strong and verile is our need, this alone can guide our craft over the angry sea—"God give us men." I perceive some have lamps without oil, walk in darkness and want no light. With their hectic philosophy which as walking on its last legs, they wave the red flag of bolshevism and would lead us on to certain death. No doubt they mean well, but good intentions do not suffice. They would have us destroy the house that shelters us and walk the pavement shouting—"If you won't make repairs we will germanize ourselves and shiver to death." I repeat—"Don't Rock the Boat" —We are sending back a new Negro. Men who know what they want, are determined to get it, and possessors of a courage death itself cannot disturb. On the other hand we are sending back some dyed-in-the-wool mollycoodles who never knew and don't care What pure Americanism is, determined to prove that America is not France, and in a crazy fervor will court death to do it. This is a problem demanding the sincere attention of both races, and in due time THE LEADING SATURDAY MAY 24, iG of F CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY pai ntion it will be given. 'There must be and there is a sensible solution to this as all other problems, a solution not bolshevistic in its essence yet cleansing in its flow, destined to not create but diminish animosity, thereby drawing all to the Flag with a greater zeal. I appreciate the futile prospects now in sight and the consequent impatience. I could never champion any passive policy because I like a good, clean fight too well. I know what it is to suffer for some day I have a story to tell which will startle you by its reality. As I write its poignancy grips me, but with patience as my teacher I sit still in the boat believing, hoping, and knowing. We must meet propaganda with propaganda. Right here we have blundered miserably in days gone by. We know its value now and while feeling its pains should administer it in large doses. Admission will make its own way but it must be constructive agitation. We can hit a fellow with bricks alright but smarting under the hurt he will cry out for revenge. We must wound, if need be, by seeing that the American conscience is unthrottled, and the dam placed around its heart is shattered. You will find eventually that the underlying cause of continued oppression is the old cry, "social equality." This derives its awful stubbornness from that damnable doctrine of "inferiority." When the white man realizes howeyer that we simply appreciate our women the more as a result of experiences over here, and also that they are not as new as he is inclined to think, this bitterness will subside. As an observation I would add, social equality is a problem of human nature and will solve REV. E. E. LIGHTNER. Pastor Memorial Congregational Church—Endorsed M. P. Snyder for Mayor. itself in spite of laws and regulations in the near future, and many now blind will unwillingly face the light. Our concern now is democracy. We want America to give us a square deal, a chance to work out our destiny without fear or favor. We have helped to save Europe, we would now save the land we love. We won because we respected law, order, and decency, and moral superiority was ours. This is the same conflict in principle, justice against oppression, right against wrong. We could not lose if we would. I have faith in the rank and file of my people and their ability to stand fast in such an hour, but for the file of the leading home garden stand by the masses.

ROBESON Chaplain 804 Ploneer Inf. BRAUNTON FOR COUNCIL. Ernest Braunton has resided in Los Angeles for thirty-two years and for the past fourteen years has lived at 6410 Elgin Street, in the Highland Park-Garvanza section of the city. His business is that of lad-scape architect and consulting horticulturist, and he holds membership in many local, national and international organizations connected with the science of horticulture and botany. His most notable scientific work was the contribution of the Southern California part of the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture, issued in six large volumes, to be found in every institution of learning and the universal standard for the whole scientific world. Mr. Braunton was chairman of the first Board of Forestry of Los Angeles City Park Commission during which term the Exposition Park swimming pool and many other notable improvements were carried out. Also during this term the wages of the park employees were raised more than during any two years of the city's history. Mr. Braunton having charge of the maintenance division of the Commission's work. In his own section of the city he has been chairman and spokesman of every committee having civic betterment matters in charge for the maintenance division of the Commission's battle. But a month ago he secured from the City Council an appropriation of $10,000 for two swimming pools on the east side of the river. He is a constant and consistent advocate of more comfort stations, municipal control of street trees and an enlarged municipal farm for city prisoners. He is the author of the "Garden Beautiful in California," used as an official text, book for high schools throughout California and the leading home garden book used Thom by the masses. He is also editor of a for the Garden Beautiful department in yeare IN THE WEST a leading local newspaper. Having five children of school age, he is deeply interested in the educational and moral welfare of our city. He merits your vote for a place in the City Council. (Political Advertisement.) IS. STRONG FOR WOODMAN Los Angeles, May 19, 1919. To the Citizens of Los Angeles, but mostly my race—The Colored People: The Primary is a thing of the past. The men of our different choice have been eliminated leaving the two strongest politically, in the field for our decision. Which shall it be? We should think seriously before casting our vote June 3rd. Two men—Mr. Snyder, a life-long Democrat and our present Mayor, Mr. Woodman, a life-long Republican. Which shall it be? I have lived in Los Angeles for eighteen or twenty years and have watched the political changes very carefully. In those eighteen or twenty years I have been closely allied with all political movements in City, County and State. For this reason I write—not as one wanting to dictate your political policy, but to inform you that Democracy is playing her last trump, previous to the Presidential Campaign—1920. My friends, you may trace the ruling political parties of this country since the days of Abe Lincoln—1860—and you will find the only things given for race elevation, were given by the Republican Party. The lines politically are closely drawn this year all over the country, and don't let anyone tell you they are not, for the reason stated above. My friends, I deem it expedient and at this time proper, to speak to you concerning the campaign of the Honorable Frederick T. Woodman. The laws of the United States declare all men are innocent until proven guilty, and as a competent jury found Mayor Woodman innocent, he should be to us, righteous people loving justice, as though he were never indicted. Almost the same condition maintained in Chicago, but our people rallied faithfully, not particularly to Mr. Thompson, but in order to help build a foundation for Republicanism next year—1920.

The Democracy Film Company announces the real beginning of their super production, "Injustice" on next Sunday, and from that time forward will witness the work under the direction of Captain Leslie Peacocke of making the reels of the greatest picture ever conceived, and one which will in its subtle way create a greater sense of justice, and a real promulgation of Americanism. It is confidently predicted that this picture will be a most popular one; it will be shown in all parts of the world. A limited supply of the stock of this company is still on hand and may be procured at this time. In a short time the price will doubtless advance at least double its present value. Advertisement My friends, this campaign extends further than a mere campaign for Mayor of Los Angeles. The Democratic party is causing its propaganda to be issued that only Democrats should be elected, not only to the office of Mayor, of all the prominent cities of the West, but to all other offices for the reason stated above, and 'now if we, as colored citizens of the City of Los Angeles, without, further investigating the campaign of Mr. Snyder, and should vote for him, a life-long Democrat—who boasts of its duration—I am afraid we should find when too late, we have made a great mistake, for our furthering the campaign of Mr. Snyder, we, as colored people, are simply laying the foundation upon which the Democratic party intends to build for the Presidency next year—1920. Mr. Woodman has been acquitted of any connection with a graft sin and should appeal without any hesitancy to the voters of the City because he has proven himself honestly competent and eminently qualified to succeed himself as Mayor of the City of Los Angeles.

I cannot recall the exact wording of the part of the order which was of a discriminating nature, but it read something to this effect: "Military Police will see that soldiers do not address, carry on conversation with, or accompany the female inhabitants of this area." At the time this order was issued we were billedet in the village of Ambriers, Mayenne. There were white soldiers also billedet in the same village but they did not belong to the 92nd Division and the order did not affect them, hence it was an order for Colored soldiers only. It was not an A. E. F. order. It was a divisional order for Colored soldiers. We were living in the same houses with the French people and under the terms of this order we were forbidden to even seep to the people with whom we lived, while the white soldiers of the 325th Baking Co. and the Supply Depot No. 10 were allowed to address, visit or accompany these same people where and whenever they desired. On January 21, 1919 Mademoiselle Marie Meziere, the eldest daughter of Monsieur Charles Meriere, a merchant tailor of Ambrieres was married married to Monsieur Maurice Barbe, a French soldier. I was invited to be a guest at the wine party, to accompany the bridal-party on the marriage promenade and to be a guest at the supper, which was to take place at 8:30 p. m. I attended the wine party with four other Colored soldiers from the Medical Detachment. No whites were invited but Capt. Willis (white) of the Supply Company "butted in." He spoke miserable French and the members of the party called on the Colored Soldiers to interpret for him. Willis became enraged and turned his back on the Colored boys and told the French people that it was improper for them to associate with the black soldiers. The French people paid no attention to what he said and we all left him sitting in the cafe alone. His temperature about this time was 104 degrees. The other Colored soldiers returned to the Infantry and I accompanied the bridal party on the promenade out on the boulevard. There were seven persons in the party: the bride and groom, the bride's sister, the groom's brother and sister, a French soldier and myself. I was the only American. As we reached town, on returning from the stroll Colonel George McMaster, Commanding Officer of our regiment acosted me and demanded: "Who are you? What are doing with these people?" I told him and he called a Military Police and ordered me taken to the Adjutant with orders for the Adjutant to prefer charges against me for accompanying white people. On arriving at the Adjutant's Hotel we found Capt. Willis there evidently waiting for me to be brought in. The Adjutant asked only two questions: "Was he with a girl? What is your name, and to what company do you belong?" Then he said, "Put him in the guard house." The following afternoon I was ordered to appear for trial. At 1:15 p. m. I was taken through the streets to the Town Major's office by an armed guard who was a private soldier—my rank was not respected. I was called into the room and was surprised to find that there was no one present but Major Paul Murry. He read the charges which had me charged with violating the 96th Article of War and with disobeying General Order No. 40. After reading the charges he asked for my plea. I told him that I did not care to plea, that I would exercise my right as a noncommissioned officer to refuse trial in a summary Court. This was a complete surprise to him. He had no idea that I was aware of my rights. He looked it up in the Manual of Army Court Martials and said that it was my right but I was very foolish to use it. I told him that from the appearance of things there had been no intention of giving me a fair trial. The prosecuting witness was not present, the members of the board were absent and I had not been given an opportunity to call witnesses or secure counsel. At first he tried to frighten and intimidate me by saying that if I were given a General Court Martial trial I would be left in Franco awaiting trial after my regiment had gone home. He also said that I might get six months in Levenworth if I should be found guilty. (Can you imagine it—six months for walking on the street with white people). After he saw that he could not intimidate me he assumed the air of comradeship and used all his persuasive powers to incite me to submit to a speedy quiet trial in his kangaroo court, but I stood pat. He said that that I was trying to play martyrs and was trying to make a big rush out of a little incident, but I claimed that I was standing for a principle, that I had been unjustly treated; that the (To be continued next issue) The Single Medicians Man Born GET USED TO THIS TICKET And Then Watch For Two More To Be Added In Our Next Issue.

CALEXICO NEWS (By Miss Marie Jeffers) The race people of Calexico are expecting trouble with the city schools the next term from actions taken by the white student body of the Calexico Union High School. They have circulated a petition through the school to secure signatures in order to not allow the colored children to enter school the next term. It was almost unanimously signed by the white students. If the school board agrees with the situation the race people will protest against it. This has seemed to be the sentiment of the different schools of the Valley now. We hope every organized body of our race will take this matter under consideration as you know what it will mean to our race as the citizens of Imperial Valley are only taking step by step to bring about segregation. We hope also that our best attorneys and our assemblyman F. M. Roberts will take notice and govern themselves accordingly. Calexico is going to protest!

SPECIAL TO THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE. By Noah D. Thompson. The race-loving people of the Furlong Home Trait responded handsomely to the appeal of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for new members to its Los Angeles Branch. The appeal was made by Mrs. Beatrice B. Thompson, Dr. L. A. Scherrille, J. H. Shackelford, Charles L. Eason, Mr. Wella and Mr. Stokes at the East Fifty-first Street School, Friday evening last. Principal Eason of the evening school, arranged a special program for the occasion which afforded a splendid opportunity for the pupils of the day school to render a pleasing musical program under the direction of Miss Brewington who is principal of the day school. Lieut. Matthews of the U. S. Army told a very interesting story of the valor of our colored soldiers in the late war and said among other things that prayers gavleth much, for he believed that it was due to the prayers of the good people at home that so many of our boys went through the appal war and returned to their hopes and loved ones, without a sembl. The Lieut. intimated that the American Negroes had to fight American race prejudice almost as hard as they had to fight the Hun and unite the Negroes to fight together. : Massey's School of Hair Culture : This treatment never fails when given a fair trial.

Judging from the way members of the audience applied for membership in the organization, the national association will not fall in its purposes for lack of support on the part of residents in the Furlong Home Tract.

We look and regard this election as a strictly non-partisan one and when we consider the aspirants we do so on that basis. Identified as we are, we are very solicitous as to what we have to hope for in the case of either the election of Mr. Snyder or Mr. Woodman. We are one-twentieth of the voting strength of this city, why not equally as much recognition be accorded us, in the past we have received no tangible recognition either in city, county or state, and we rise to ask why? Outside of efficiency and a well regulated city, this is the great big thing with us. We are tired of being the "Cat's Paw." We want something tangible in the way of recognition, this old party stuff in a non-partisan election is "hot air;" the pure bunk with us. And regardless of who you are for, do not let anybody hold you so cheap as to base your decision on party lines in a purely non-partisan election.

FLEMING X FREDERICK C ANGDON X JOHN B. REEVES X BY JOHN A. GRAY Possibly one of the most brilliant and greatest of affairs in Eastern circles was the recent aggregation of race talent at Washington, D. C. The occasion was the music festival given at the Dunbar High School under the auspices of the Washington Conservatory of Music. The participants were our own Madame Florence Cole-Talbert; Melville Charlton, organist, New York; Ethel Richardson, pianist, Phaon-Martin, organist, Cleo Collins, Soprano, all of New York; Carl Ditpn, organist—composer; Nathaniel Dett, composer—pianist; Harry T. Burleigh, composer, singer, arranger, conductor; Clarence C. White, violinist; Theodore Taylor, pianist, Chicago; Estelle Pinkney, Soprano—the Howard University Glee Club; Mars-Martin, violinist and Lydia Mason, the child wonder. Here was practically the cream of the race's musicians at one gathering. The result could not be other than magnificent. The effect of music on the bad boy and girl was explained recently in an article in a local newspaper by an eastern professor, who stated that he had found music to be the best remedy for incorrigibles. His experience has shown him that of all those who had entered his classes, no matter what their previous record had been, nono failed to respond to the refining influence of music. In fact, he says that the boys who were formerly truants to their classes, are now eager to be the first in the class-room. Would it not be advisable to give some of our race boys and girls a liberal dose of this refining influence? Two local cabaret singers were fortunate recently in being given the sum of $5,00 each and a contract for 5 years by a representative of a large eastern publishing house. These men are to write music for this firm, and it is possible that the public will be singing some of their works in the near future. All this came about because this representative heard one of these young men's songs while dining in a cafe and he became so enamored by it that he sought the composers immediately. The result has been already stated. "The Indians have no system of notation and no standard of absolute exactness." Thus speaks Miss Frances Tensmore of Red Wing; Minn., who is an authority on Indian music and who has spent years in research work on the same. Her contributions to the Smithosian Institute have placed her in the foremost ranks of those who are making a study of the subject. "It is not easy to talk of Indian songs in the musical terms to which we are accustomed," she says. "The indian has no scale consciousness, while the basis of our music, the European scale, reduces it to pretty definite mathematics. "We have definite rythmic beats or pulsations, something utterly lacking in Indian music. "The intervals between the notes of Indian songs seem to have been chosen by following the path of least resistance. "Indian music is a free tonal expression, with no rules, no definite scale and with many fractional tones of less than one-half." This is another conclusive proof that the music of the negro is the foundation for the American school of music and that it is the only thing in the way of national music that we have to build upon. The musicians who heard Prof. Calhoun the pianist, last Monday evening, were somewhat disappointed in the Recital, both from the numbers played and the manner in which rendered. From the high price charged for admission, one expected to hear at least a well-arranged and well-played program. The program was also cheapened by the addition of Vaudeville stunts and the use of notes. It is customary these days for all soloists to perform their numbers without the use of the printed page, which is quite evident to those who are accustomed to attend first-class Recitals.

But it certainly is a pain to me. I would not have time to think these thoughts, If I were on the firing line, Thrills, and adventure is what I need To keep me feeling fine. And just to think, some crazy "gink" Wants the dead shipped across the sea. Now, I suggest, that this old "bird," Who wishes to move the dead, Would "grab" for glory, some place else. doesn't know what to do. Just buy the limit in Victory Loans.

Pioneer citizen he was and a man who according to his chance had certainly performed his part in establishing civilization in the great North West; he truly was a trail blazer; was a veteran of the Civil War; was a member of the vigilanters which drove crime from the North West and he spaded gold from what is now the main street of Helena. But above all that, he was a friend to man and Jim Crump had all the qualities that go to make a high class citizen. When we landed in Helena in 1905 soon thereafter we met this big hearted man and we became fast friends which friendship was lasting with his family and legion of friends although far away we mourn his loss. Peace be to his memory. He was an enthusiastic Odd Fellow, Mason and high class citizen.

The large spacious Hall was crowded and 37 new mem- bers were added to the roll. The meeting opened by singing Bless be the Tie that Binds. Prayer was offer- ed by Rev. BR. Guy; Song, “Deep River,” by a chorus of singers: Op- ening Remarks by Mr. W. T. Hen- dry, who in turn introduced Mrs. Charlotte Stearns. She said that the Association was one of the best things that ever happened in San Diego and that a community should be just as loving as a ‘home, it they are working side by side» Mrs. Stearns announc- ed that Mr. Adam Thompggn sent in his name as a member of the N. A ‘A.C. P.’and also dgnated this noble cause $10.00. The President next in- troduced Judge Marsh, who on the last meeting had givert this organiza- tion their charter. He spoke of the lynching in Mississipp! and said tha: we certainly need work of this kind; ahd that we were all anxious to bring about Democrac}; and that when he read in'the daily papers of the awful lynchings that are going on in meri- ca, it makes him wonder as to how the 20th Cextury can. stand such things. Judge Marsh then introdue- ed Mr. James W. Johnson of New York. . He is the Field Secretary of the N. A. A.C. P. He made a great appeal for Justice; told of many. lynchings in the United States, where the race problem is a burning issue. He characterized America as a ‘'Sin- ner” among nations because of the atrocities which its people have vis- ited upon the negroes. He said that the atrocities committed by the Huns in this war aroused the moral indig- nation of this countrs, yet miltions of well informed American citizens are not aware that atrocities occur in this nation every year, which would bring the blush of shame to a Turk. “While we were fighting in Europe to make the world safe for Democ- racy and and to avenge the crime committed against Belgium, Ameri- ‘can mobs—in the short space of a year—lynched and otherwise put to death 109 American citizens.” Mr. Johnson said that “I want to get away from any illusion that I-came offering a ready made solution of the race problem. If I were to offer one, I should say: “Let wy adopt fairness, Justice, and Christian Humanity.”” But I am aware that fairmess, justice and christian humanity are very hard to put into practice. I am aware that race prejudice exists and that we have to face it. People tell us that we must be patient. I know of course that lynching cannot be done away with in this country in a day. But I don’t see.why we should be pa- tient about it. “In closing he said: “I feel these thoings doubly.

The, writers of the communications to the War Department, in addition to condemning the injustice to the officer involved, made {t quite plain that the colored people of the cour try rebent most strenuously the re- flection upon the Race as a whole in the bold declaration that “Negroes ‘are deficient in moral fiber, etc.” and regard it as an unsuctained indict- ment of the entire Race as a group of meompetents and fajlures. They declared the charge to be abgolutely discredited by the written record of the brilliant achievements of colored officers. under fire in the fiercest of- fensives of the war, and by the pub- ‘Ustied testimony of General Pershing of Colonel Hayward, and of a score of French officers of highest military standing, ail of whom had the advan- tage of knowing exactly how the col- ored commanders bore themselves at crucial -peripds on the field of. battle. The objectionable memorandum js refuted, the writers assert, by the unbroken chain of valorous. deeds and herofsm of Negroes in all the wars of the Republic, from Bunker Hill to Carrizal, and in France from Verdun to the siege of Metz. No Exclusion of Any Officcr om Ap- count of Color. Dr. Emmit J.

Whenever any proscribed group hates the very name of its na. tonal, religious, or racial aggregate that group does not deserve to en- Joy the same degree of freedom or Yesvect that is universally accorded to all analogous groups each fired by the spirit of its own group. While in Europe I was many times asked whether I am of one or another group other than my own. I instant. ly answered, “If you mean as to m} nationality ! am an American.” Bu: I fnvariably added. with infinitely more ardor, “but if yOu mean as to my race Iam a Negto.” To those who persist im saying iat, for example, Prof. Kealing wa: am Afro-Ameriean, ome may _pertt nently remind that Prof. <ealing and General Gallieni were of the same Tate. “How conld Gen. Gallieni, who never was in America, be an Afro- American? One of the most trivial arguments that have come to light by way of as- Bersing our racial name is that we (Negroes) are not hphens. that we ave Americans. If, by asserting that our race members are not hyphens, the proponents mean that our race mame is not hyphenated. we thus far agree with them; for ds any En- slish speaking person who possesses @ good primary education is well aware, the word “Negro” is not, a compound noun or adjective. Bul | our opponents beg the question when they asert that we (Negroes) are Americans. Prof. Kealing was of the “same nationality 3 Mr. Woodrow Wilson: but I pity him who would -asert that that distinguished sehol- "ay was of the same race of the notori 08s politician. By profession { am ainly not an American: I am s ai engineer. By nationality I am etainly not a civil engineer; I am an American; I am no more disclos nig my race than my occupation. It 1s bad rhetoric to capitalize the word “colored.” especially bad as to write “Negro” with a small ‘n. Where are mfany colored Americans who are not Negroes: some are Mon- golians; some Indians. ‘The class of Negroes who sneer their racial name object that origt- nally the word “Negro” was restrict- ed to a single tribe. There was only one tribe in “Albion” bearing the mame of the “Angles.” But the des- cendants of the Saxoris and the Jutes are no less pride than the descend- ants of the Angles in sayirg that they are (Angles) English. Very appropriately our race {s termed “Negro” Its name deriva- tion has proceeded exactly as the term “Jew” (from one tribe of twelve) and the term “Caucastan” (from a very small number of pec- ple in the Caueasis}. For all these tefins cere by synecdoche. by a fig. ure of speech giving the name of a part to the name of the whole. It fs -asual, it is intelligent, in deriving mew terms. to coi by borrowing. an expression which is suggestive of some distinguishing function or ap- pearance or is logically connected with the discovery or origin of the entity to be named. I contend for the great Negro race to continue to be named reproachiessiy. scientific- "ally. properly. I protest against dis honoring the name ot my raee. WM. H.

The paper by Miss Harris was one of the features of the program and was very much appreciated. Miss Harris is a graduate of the Pasadena High School and also of the L. A. Normal. She is among the very few of our young Negro girls who has a big ambition. She has mapped out great things to accomplish in the line of social work at which she is now employed by the County, having passed the civil service examination and was immediately appointed. We wish that many other young race girls would see openings and prepare for them, and not sit around and complain of nothing to be educated for. Thomas Franks, one of the Pasadena boys who went away to Camp Lewis in Oct. 1917, with the first draft, later sent to Camp Grant, and was there attached to the 365th Machine Gun Co., with which organization he went overseas and also over the top. Franks was slightly gassed, and had the Flu, and has been in the hospital over since his return to the United States. He came into Pasadena last Saturday morning to remain until the 25th, when he will proceed to Camp Kerney for discharge. He told us that he was the happiest soldier in Uncle Sam's Army when he stepped off the car on olorado St., and will be supremely happy when he gets back from Kerney for good. He was given a royal welcome at Friendship Baptist of which he is a member and is represented by a star on the Service Flag. More welcome to follow on his return from Kerney. Mr. W. O. Clapham of N. Orange Grove is very sick with heart trouble; and his two devoted daughters are constantly in attendance with him. They are very apprehensive of his condition and are rather fearful of his recovery, as he is quite advanced in age and may not have the vitality to rally. The two daughters have the kindest wishes of all their friends and acquaintances for the final recovery of their beloved Father. Friendship Baptist Church Activities The Young Women's Missionary Auxiliary at its regular meeting on last Tuesday night, selected their Messengers to the District Convention that is to meet at the 2nd Baptist Church, Los Angeles, May 29th. The Messengers are: Mrs. E. O. Solomon and Mrs. Vergie Corry. On last Sunday Miss E. Beesley, author of the new book just published, "Negro Trail Blazers of California," was a visitor at the Friendship Baptist Church, and took pleasure to mention her work and sold a number of her books, and secured a number of subscription to be delivered about the 1st of June. She was a very welcome guest at dinner with Capt. and Mrs. Wm. Reynolds. Dr. Evangeline Cayen will lecture to women only at the Friendship Baptist Church on Tuesday evening, May 27th. This lecture is especially to mothers. She will also lecture to mothers and fathers on Thursday evening, May 29th, at the same church. Dr. Caven was lecturing under the Council of Defense, she is now lecturing under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. She should be greeted, with a good audience at both lectures. The committee that is arranging for these lectures is Mrs. J. H. Harison, Mrs. J. A. Fleming and Sister I. H. Ford. Sister I. H. Ford, the Evangelist is conducting the revival services at the Shiloh Baptist Church on Wilson St. Los Angeles. Rev. F. H. Davis the pastor o fthis church is very much pleased with Sister Ford's manner of conducting the meeting and the church as a whole is very appreciative of her efforts. The meeting is very successful so far, having three or four converts in the first-four evenings of her preaching. On Tuesday evening the Rev. W. H. Tillman and his Choir, and a number of his congregation went over to the little Church in a truck and assisted Sister Ford and Rev. Davis in the meeting. One bright young fellow was converted an this evening. Sister Ford wins the hearts and approbation of everybody wherever she goes, and the prejudice that used to dwell in many people against women Preachers is soon disspated when they hear her talk, and see the earnestness with which she goes about her Father's business. The Brotherhood Club of the Friendship Baptist Church and others interested are contemplating sending a request to the proper authority for permission to organize a Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Pasadena. There are quite a number of members already in the city, and many more would join should there be a branch in the city. HELP US FILL THE BARREL GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Watts, Cal. Rev. W. C. Davies, Pastor. Last Sunday was Rally Day at this church, and enthusiasm ran high—as this closes the first half of the Rolling Barrel Rally—the next half will close in August, the exact date will be made in our next announcement. Our general work is in fine shape; our Sunday School is still growing in spite of the crying need of teachers. Our pastor was away at 11 a. m. to preach for Dr. Craw and his people as Dr. Craw was to be with us to preach the Rally sermon, which he did with great credit to the congregation that he serves and himself. The great crowd that filled our little church was for more than one hour lifted out of themselves while this man of God spoke to them. Truly God was and is with us, not spiritually alone, but financially, also, for at the conclusion of this masterful sermon there was placed on the table $71.69 from the public. The Rolling Barrel was opened with the following results: First A. M. E. Church, $43.60; C. M. E. Church, $10.74; Wesley M. E. Church, $9.42; 2nd A. M. E. Church, $4.15; Mr. W. T. Allen's Barber Shop, $3.80; Ward Chapel, $2.00; Lincoln Memorial Congregational, $1.05; Grant Chapel, $31.13; making a total out of Barrel $105.91. At 8:00 p. m. Rev. H. J. Hartnett filled the pulpit with credit. At the conclusion of this service the public gave $5.00; then the Captains of the different clubs made their report, which created some lively rivalry with the following results: Over the Top Club, Mrs. Tiny Jackson, Captain, $72.99; Old Glory, Miss Pearl Comfort, $68.00; Liberty, Mr. R. Butford, $61.40; Victory, Mr. R. Lische, $50.33; Independent, Mrs. S. Linen, $10.55; making a total of $263.27.—A grand total for the day of $440.87. For this great success we give God the praise. Thanking each pastor and congregation for co-operating with us, and praying God's blessing upon them in their work. We are yours for the cause of Christ. PASTOR AND CONGREGATION Grant's A. M. E. Church (By Ideal Albrottt) "Kitty," our little blue-eyed office darling has a little bl—" I would say bluie-eyed but that has for the past eight days been a hidden secret. There is a promise of disclosure on tomorrow, the ninth day. The little grandchild takes head after its grandpa—The Editor. Mrs. W. H. Gray of 1712 E. 53rd St. dropped in on us the other day and in no better way could she have demonstrated her appreciation of the soaring Eagle than by leaving her two dollars for the year. It is a delight to have such callers as Mrs. Gray: A prominent member of a well-known Secret Order came in to get a bill the other day for some work he had done. The "Printer's Devil" tried to accommodate the gentlemen, after many attempts, which proved unsatisfactory, he was told that the bill was to be made out to the particular Order; by this time he had become nervous and excited, and of course forgot the name of the Order; he then turned very innocently to the gentleman and said, "What did you say the name of that thing was?" Mme. Sul-Te-Wan was given a chance to demonstrate her gracefulness and suppleness of body when she sat innocently on a chair at the request of the Managing Editor. Up from the wreckage true to her reputation did Madam in all agility rise; unharmed and unhurt. Mme. Sul-Te- Wan asked if that chair was reserved for bad actors? "No, only good actresses would we trust to its mercies Madam," was the response. The Managing Editor became a bit ruffled in spirit Wednesday when the lightening began to play on the Lyno machine. Some women are brave and yet so timid. The Lyno operator is crowing over 50 cents won from the Managing Editor and advises all women to stay in their realm henceforth—"The idea of mere womanhood contesting her little knowledge with of a 'men'"—so he thinks. Will some kind-hearted body induce Editor Bass to join the Tennis playing profession, his wife thinks that he needs a slight reduction in weight, and no doubt she would appreciate it if some of the exponents of the gospel of weight reduction thru the medium of tennis playing would prevail upon the Editor to take a hand in the game. M. GOVERNOR ESTEBAN CANTU Governor of Lower California. PRAISE GOVERNOR CANTU Messrs. Claudius Troy; James N. Littlejohn; Andrew C. Arnett; Robert W. Head; Vance M. Cole and Attorney Hugh E. Micheth have just returned from an extended auto trip in Lower California, Mexico, which trip included among other things visits to the famous Santa Clara Ranch, and Development Company, Vallecitos, Guadalupe, San Antonia and Eusenada. The party made the trip in Mr. Littlejohn's Nash 6, all the way from Los Angeles to one various points mentioned back again without the embarrassment of changing a tire. Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth who was in charge of the party of prospective Lower California settlers upon his return spoke in the highest spirits of the wonders of the natural resources of Lower California and particularly of the form of governmental efficiency of this Excellency Governor Esteban Cantu, Governor of the Northern District of the Territory of Lower California. Said Mr. Macbeth: 'The amount of road improvements and road construction which Governor Cantu has been able to do in California during the past two years has been nothing short of marvelous when one considers the fact that because of the world war and the consequent closing of the United States' border which has been practically impossible for Governor Cantu to get needed road building supplies into his district and the further fact that the closing of the border not only cut off a large part of the revenue of Governor Cantu's district, but also increased the cost of such road building supplies as could be secured. Governor Cantu's ability is a financial genius and empire builder stands out in bold relief. "Under the general supervision of Colonel Miguel Alvarez, Lieutenant Governor of the Northern District of California and under the immediate direction of as fine a set of road engineers as ever laid out a road system on the North American continent. Governor Cantu has started from the Ensenada and the building of the long heralded Ensenada-Tia Juana coast highway. One who has never visited Lower California and enjoyed it superb natural beauty is unable to form an adequate conception of what its new coast road will mean to Lower California and to motorists generally who may be privileged to make the trip in the future. However, some idea of the wonderful engineering being accomplished in the construction of this new highway and its peculiar charm from a motorist's standpoint may be gathered from the fact that beginning at the foot of the municipal pier in the city of Ensenada the engineers are carving out of the natural rock almost a perfectly level wide road bed which hangs over the rocks below upon which the ocean breaks in mountains of foam. Our party had the unusual privilege of driving to 6 Metropolitan Hair Store and Costuming Establishment The only race establishment on the Pacific Coast where you may be fitted up in anything made from HAIR and secure the most fastidious costume for Masquerade Balls, Tacky Parties, or Colonial Dances. this newly rock bed road for a distance of nearly two miles where we alighted from our machine and proceeded on foot to the spot where Governor Cantu's loyal and efficient road builders were about to set off a new series of blast which would further extend the road bed into the mighty mountain of rock which girded the sea as we watched blast after blast hurling tons of rock down the slope into the sea. Our party were a unit in their praise of the constructive genius of the man who was fast bringing the Northern district of Lower California into its own. "After our trip of inspection over the completed part of the new most highway, our party had the unreal privilege and honor of a person's interview with Lieutenant Governor Miguel Alvarez at his headquarters in Ensenada. Seated at a table in a study with the members of our party gathered close around him in almost family fashion. 'Colonel Alvarez,' as he is familiarly known to all high and low, speaking through his efficient private secretary. Senior Antonio Ulloa, acted as interpreter, informed the members of our party that he welcomed all of us to Southern California not only in an official capacity as a friend and that it would be his delight to do everything in his power to assist us in the splendid work we were inaugurating. Some idea of the remarkable efficiency of Governor Cantu may be gathered from the fact that he remains on duty from early morning until late at night. It is by no means an infrequent occurrence to see him and his executive officers busy at work as late as 12 o'clock midnight. Not only does he insist on hard work for himself but the members of his family stand shoulder to shoulder with him in his sunfiring efforts to build the empire of the peninsula. Typical of the spirit of co-operation of Governor Cantu's family is work of his brother-in-law, Senior Fred Dato but as road superintendent operating under the Governor's supervision spends weeks and months traveling over a system of highways of the Northern District causing repairs to be made when needed and generally supervising the system of highways which is not only to bring the people of the future into this wonderful country but which will soon furnish the means of transportation over the most remarkable agricultural and mineral fields that the North American Pacific slope has ever produced."
