Los Angeles woman present at the great meeting in New Orleans. We are indebted to Mrs. Walter L. Gordon of this city, who is visiting relatives in New Orleans for the account of the race conference recently held in that city, including the great meeting at Pythian Hall and other conditions in that section. She graphically describes the unprecedented scenes of enthusiasm at Pythian Hall when the people arose and would not hear to Col. Simmons ending his great speech, and he continued to preach the NEW DAY gospel, speaking steadily from 8:30 o'clock until 11:45 and even then the people were loath to have to go. Thousands were unable to get into the large Pythian Temple on this occasion. Mrs. Gordon writes as follows: Roscoe Conklin Simmons spoke here Monday evening at the beautiful Pythian Temple owned, and built by the Colored Pythians. The place was filled to overflowing, and such an enthusiastic crowd. He spoke clearly and deliberately. — The Boldest speech which I have ever heard. The people went wild. White reporters and others were present; but never the less, he scathingly denounced their injustices to the Colored people.

When he attempted to stop speaking.—The crowd yelled. "GO ON!", GO ON! They threw their hats, kercheifs and fans into the air, he started speaking at about 8:30 p. m. and spoke steadily until 11:45, and still the crowd was loathe to go when the last word had fallen from his lips. The Hon. Robert Church was present and on the platform, and other prominent Colored men here for the Conference. On Sunday I met several of the victims of the Bugaloosa affair, one had both knee caps broken, there was one prominent lawyer, and one or two doctors. They were introduced also, at the N. A. A. C. P. meeting Sunday. We have nothing here like the Forum but they are sadly in need of it. The father of the boys lynched in Shubota was also present—poor man, he looked so haggard-he said he just couldn't talk about it. A big collection was given him. There is much more to tell you but it shall have to come later. I am enclosing a clipping from the Daily States, White, on the Negro Conference meeting here. The white papers were silent on Simmons with the exception of what I send. Sincerely You're, VERTNER GORDON San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1919 LOS ANGELES GIRL OVER THE TOP. The following contribution by Mabel Jenet Byrd of Portland gives an account of Miss Darling Nesty's activities since leaving her Los Angeles home. The same will prove interesting to the people of California, who all appreciate Miss Nesty's ability, and who know that she has a brilliant future before her. Miss Nesty Of Los Angeles Cal Receives M. A. Degree at University Of Oregon, June 16th. 1919. Miss Darling Elody Nesty, of Los Angeles received her Master of Arts degree at the 43rd. annual commencement of the University of Oregon here today. Miss Nesty was one of the three candidates for the M. A. degree. Her work this year has been in Psychology and it is preparatory to a course in Medicine which she expects to take up soon. The graduation of Miss Nesty marks an epoch not only in the history of this university, but also in the educational history of the Negroes of Oregon. She is the first to receive a degree from any institution in the state. And to her we give the honor of being the pioneer in educational lines among us. She is deserving of the highest praise and we will certainly be most generous in our giving of it. It is estimated that out of the millions constituting the population of these United States that ten per cent of them go as far as the High School; out of these making up the ten per, just five per cent finish their Senior year; and just one per cent of those that finish the High school take work in institutions of higher learning. So we can see that it is no common thing when one finishes one's college work, and less common to go as far as Miss Nesty has gone. To have the ability, the persistence (and it takes a quantity of it), and the ambition to complete her college work is, indeed, in it self very laudable. But to have worked almost every bit of her way, to have that persistence which knows no rebuff, that I think is quite the most praise worthy of all. Miss Nesty has worked her way through her under graduate college and thru one year of graduate work. For it is as she says, that ones life's work deserves as much time and study as one can spend upon preparing for it. She has sacrificed those phantom pleasures that youth so delights in, she has seen into the future and realized that while one is beguiling away one's time, opportunities are slipping by. It is, then, with ideals of rendering service to her people of getting things that really count in later life, and truly having a bit of the tremendous amount of knowledge that this world contains, that Miss Nesty has dispensed with youth's frivolities and given her time and attention to study and work. Good concientious study and work, and it is well to say here that one lives in no way luxurious when one must work afterwards and sit up late at nights and then get up early in the morning to prepare for the day assignment ; that precludes anything like leisure. It means practically no time to play. But it also means being able to render a greater service to one's people; a step toward one's life's work; a self-satisfaction that can come only thru doing the best that is in you. To work and to study at the same time gives a truer insight into their relative values and it is found that both are of paramount importance. It is often said among our young people that college is impossible for them because there is a lack of money. I think that this young lady has proven it to be rather a lack of ambition and willingness to sacrifice the "good times" than lack of money. She has gone thru college with practically no aid from home. She has supported herself; has gone thru her college and University work; has made many friends and at the same time faithfully and earnestly has taken an active part in church work. I know that she feels that this has sustained and helped her more than all else. I feel that Miss Nesty will prove an inspiration to our young people of Oregon and that her graduation will prove an impetus to the educational interests in our state. She has certainly verified Wordsworths words that "plain living and high thinking" bring after all the most important things in life. MABEL JENET BYRD "INJUSTICE" TO BE SHOWN ON JULY 15TH. July 15th, has been selected as the date on which the super-feature photoplay, "INJUSTICE", is to have its initial showing in Los Angeles. The following well known people have taken prominent parts in the production - Miss Thais Nehli-Kalani, Doroyne Yvonne Dumont, Vera Lavaffor, Mrs. Wilhelmina Owens, Mrs. Hamer Burrell, Mrs. Seith Webb, Margaret Grace-Boon, Mrs. W. W. E. Gladden, Mrs. Frank Gordon, Miss Strange, Veronica Smith, Janette Criner, Mrs. James E. Seager, Mrs. Crystal Reed, Cora Reed, Miss Dreyfus, Mrs. Otis Banks, Chaplain W. W. E. Gladden, Sidney P. Dones, Robt. Fortson, Ovid Scott, Lleut. Journee White, Eldridge Lee, Otis Banks, Robert C. Owens, Mr. Christian, Dr. W. A. Tarleton, Lieut. Ross, Lleut. Matthews, Lleut. Lucas, F. L. Banks. J. B. Bass, Harry Jones, Herbert Post, J. W. Coleman, and Maurice Stapler, who posed as the villain of the play. Thais Nehli-Kalani, and Sidney P. Dones enacted the leading dramatic roles, and Dorothy Yvonne Dumpt and Ovid Scott provided the touches of light comedy. Captain Leslie T. Peacocke, the director, claims that the acting capabilities shown by all the cast will be a veritable revelation and bid fair to rival that of the leading film stars of any of the established companies. In Miss Thais Nehli-Kalani he claims to have discovered a combination of Clara Kimball Young, Vivian Martin and Marguerite Clarke, and other judges of acting have found in Sidney P. Dones a direct prototype of Henry Walthal, whilst Dorothy Dumpt will be safely entitled the Mabel Normand of the colored screen. Lieut. Journeeo White is studying the art of film direction under Captain Peacocke and, when fully qualified to do so, will direct some of the future productions of the Democracy Film Corporation. In a very short time the Company expects to be in a position to give permanent employment to thousands of the Colored Race. After July 5th the Capital Stock of the Company will be raised from $1 to $2 per share, and opportunities for employment by the Company will naturally, be given to Stockholders. WHERE THE RESPONSIBIL- ITY LIES John D. Barry, Special writer for the San Francisco Call, writes of an incident which occurred on his recent voyage to Honolulu, where a young man who served as an officer in a Southern training camp has come out of the war with his prejudice against the negro considerably deepened. According to Mr. Barry, the most part of this young man's life has been spent in a small New England town where negroes were seldom seen. He was horrified by the lack of civilization among them, their shiftlessness, their uncleanliness. The young officer acknowledged that they made first-rate soldiers, that they were obedient, likable and brave. Did that young officer, who judged those negro drafteres from his lofty standard of a New England college man, realize when he made those statements, what a stigma he was placing upon our boasted standard of American Democracy? Did he not know that he was arraigning at the bar a Nation for its crimes against humanity? Could he not see that, that non-descript conglomeration, ignorant and unschooled, uncoath, and lacking the standards of higher civilization, untutored in the niceties of life, yet withall, obedient to discipline, likable and brave, were mute witnesses to the condemnation of the educational system in vogue for the negro in the South? It is to be deplored that the collegiate training of that officer did not lead him to inquire into the reason why men, who having the splendid qualities of obedience to discipline, a likable disposition, crowned by the virtue of bravery, should be lacking in those qualities which has deepened his prejudice. His investigations would have revealed the fact that nine-tenths of (Continued on Page Six) EXPANSION OF BUSINESS Compelled through popular demands for her service, Mrs. Fannie Williams will open a first class Hairdressing and Manicuring Parlor, July 7th at 1488 West Jefferson St. at corner of Normandie Ave. She will be pleased to welcome her many friends and patrons there. ALLENSWORTH TO BECOME GREAT MECCA FOR RACE PEOPLE Will Allensworth come into her own? The more than fifty persons who were delegates at the recent Allensworth, June 9, came away from that struggling little colony with this question ringing in their minds. Allensworth was established less than ten years ago by Col. Allen Allensworth. Prior to his death a few years ago, Col. Allensworth put all of his strength back of the Allensworth proposition because he believed firmly in the solution of what is termed the race problem through this medium. Allensworth is not set apart as a segregated colony. To begin with this was not Col. Allensworth's idea. He proposed to make the Colored constituency a component part of this commonwealth, and the acquisition of the tract of land, now known as Allensworth, was his first step. It was no doubt Col. Allensworth's hope that after securing the Allensworth tract, that members of the race would be apt to broaden further in Tulare County. Allensworth As It Is For the past nine or ten years persons from all parts of the State have visited Allensworth, and queen were FORMS PARTNERSHIP IN TIRE BUSINESS. On the 18th of last December the "Independent Rubber Co." opened its doors to the automobile public of Los Angeles and vicinity. Through the foresightness of its establisher and business manager, M. E. Williamson in securing a desirable location, coupled with the fact of his ability to produce the goods, he being an expert tire dealer and salesman, thoroughly trained in the business by M. E. WILLIAMSON Scenior Member Of Firm 7 years' practical experience in one of the leading Tire and Vulcanizing concerns of the city, business has increased to such an extent that Mr. Williamson has been forced to give his entire time in connection with that of his floorman in attending to the wants of his increasing customers and business. Realizing the inability, from a present day business standpoint, of trying to do a large business on a small scale, also recognizing the fact that system is the avenue to progress and success, he wisely concluded to branch out and wishes at this time and through the columns of this paper to announce the fact to his many customers as well as the business public in general that he has formed a partnership in the tire business with Mr. E. L. Dorsey, as a business partner. Mr. Dorsey is a wide awake citizen of our city having resided here for the past six years, he is a machinist by trade and one out of nine negro the tales they brought back. Some accused it of being a segregated colony; others said there was no water; while still another group said that the land was non-productive. Now, as a matter of fact none of these statements are true. It seems that the pioneers or first settlers attracted to this section were sturdy race men and women and with all of the knocks and bumps received by the army of kickers who pass from time to time they have never lost hope for they possess the true spirit of the pioneer. Allensworth is not a segregated colony, the white children within the county attend the Allensworth public school of which Prof. Payne is principal and Miss M. Prince, assistant. Concerning the school—of course most of the students are Colored, but in all of our experiences we have never seen such a well-trained and well-behaved group of school children. As yet we are still bubling over with enthusiasm at what we found at Allensworth! As public school teachers, we find no language rich enough with which to record our ophion of Prof Payne and Miss Prince. Prof. Payne has thrown his whole soul into the work and as the first Negro principal of a public school in the State of California, he is pil- (Continued on Page Six) THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT.

Central Avenue, will within the next six months be enlarged to handle twice its present volume and another line will be introduced. They are Agents by contract for several of the best tires on the market and are specializing on the Firestone Truck Tire. They deserve and seek the patronage and support of the entire Automobile Public on their ability to give you the highest quality of material service and workmanship to be had in the city from a competitive standpoint. The Eagle congratulates these young men in their new enterprise. CLARENCE A. BROOKS Playing Lead In "A Man's Full Duty" LINCOLN MOTION PICTURE CO. PRODUCTION RESUMES ACTIVITY. "A Man's Full Duty" the Lincoln's latest Production - a five reel De luxe picture is about half completed. The Company is working daily at the Horsley Studios on Washington and Main Street. Sunday June 29th. we will photograph some of our biggest and most interesting sets. The public is welcome. Quite a number of visitors were in evidence at our Sunday School; nor were they disappointed, for the Lesson and the discussion that followed amply rewarded their coming. The Lesson Subject was that of Charity concerning which each Teacher had some good remarks to offer. The 11 o'clock service was attended with Divine favor. The Subject was that of Constancy and all experienced the manifest presence and blessing of the Master. Several persons joined the Church at the close, and one was received for Baptism on the First Sunday in July. The B. Y. P: U. had a very lively session in the evening ending with a splendid offering. At night the Rev. Mr. Pettigrew preached for us and his sermon will long_remain in our memory. We urge all the various Clubs to be up and doing so that our New House of Worship may soon be a reality. Come out early on Sunday, and come praying for a blessing. In the event both the Senior and Junior Missionary Societies will have charge—Come and bear young Eldridge on the Violin. Let us encourage our Missionary Sisters and young brothers. HAMILTON M. E. CHURCH 18th St. and Naomi Avenue Rev. S. M. Beane, Pastor. Sunday was indeed a big day at Hamilton. The pastor preached a soul stirring sermon from the text, "He that knoweth not, loveth not God; for God is Love," at the morning hour, that was enjoyed by everyone present. The Masons turned out in full regalia at the 3 o'clock hour for their annual St. John's Day Services. There was an excellent address by Grand Master Harris, and a solo by Mr. T. A. Rollins that touched all hearts. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. J. Logan Craw. This was a masterly presentation of the sublime truths of the order, and was thoroughly enjoyed by an audience that filled this large and spacious auditorium. The great series of sermons on the "Seven Seals" was begun at the 8 o'clock hour, with the presentation by the pastor of the First Seal "The White Horse." The large attendance at this service attests the interest of the people in this series. This was a highly spiritual service, and the people left serving God. The weeks program bids fair to be the best and most attractive in our history. Sunday School continues to grow in interest and enthusiasm. If your child attends no Sunday School let us have him or her. Hamilton is the Strangers Home, and you will find a cordial welcome. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH 1406 Newton St. Sunday was another enjoyable day at the fast growing, progressive church. The occasion was the third quarterly meeting. Two splendid con regations worshiped at the morning and evening service. The quarterly meeting was held on Monday night and the reports of the various departments showed that all the machinery of the church was in motion and working smoothly:. The coming Sunday promises to be an enjoyable one. The pastor will proach at both the morning and evening services. Glorious times are anticipated. Strangers/and visitors always find a warm, hearty welcome at this Church. Come where a real gospel message awaits you and where the old time fire is burning. WARD CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 1854 Channing Street Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor. The past Sabbath was another great day of blessings upon the mountain at Ward's Chapel. At the morning service a strong young man renounced the world and the devil and accepted Jesus Christ and united with the church, at 3 p. m. we were called to Long Beach to assist Rey. R. Williams in his rally we had a great service there and his people responded liberally. Sunday July 6th, will be our raily day all clubs will be requested, as well as all persons to kindly turn in their soliciting cards all filled out if possible. At 3 p. m. the presiding elder Dr. J. H. Wilson will hold the 4th and last quarterly meeting of the conference year. Dr. S. M. Bean of the Hamilton Church will deliver the sermon. We are very much encouraged by the way our friends and the public are offering their assistance in the big event to be given by Prof. R. G. Jackson, dean of the Music Department of Western University, the ced through the columns of our local papers.

The Macedonia Church ended a very successful meeting last Sunday by baptizing four persons, there were several visitors from Pasadena present. The church is planning on its rally for the first Sunday in July, the members have pledged to give one tenth of their earnings of the month of June on this day. The Sunday School and the B. Y. P. U. report a very encouraging progress, there will be a supper on the 28th., and a rally on the 5th. Sunday for the purpose of sending a delegate to the convention. Pastor Rev. J. A. Fleming Church clerk Bro. M. M. Smith. PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST The services at this church were exceptionally good last Sunday, and all who worshipped with us felt greatly benefited. The Sunday School was well attended in spite of the heat, for the Children love their Sunday School and consider it a privilege to attend. In the morning the text was, "The Prodigal Son" St. Luke 15-17-18. This sermon was greatly enjoyed for it appealed to and touched the heart of each individual who heard it. The text for the evening was, "What think Ye of Christ?" St. Matt. 21-41 Rev. Greggs in his sermon explained clearly, that the question isn't what your mother or father thinks of Christ, but what do you think of him, what is your moral conception of this great man of men? First what do you think of him as a preacher? Second what do you think of Jesus Christ Son of God as a Physician? Jesus the Physician has never lost a case. He has even resuscited the dead, this great Physician writes no prescriptions, but just the touching of his garment restored Mary to perfect health. This wonderful sermon was completed by Rev. Emanuel Hall singing, "Since Jesus came into my heart." Four accessions were recorded for the day, Collection, $65.49. Next Monday evening June 30th there will be held a great mass meeting in this Church. All members are urged to be present, as business of importance will be transacted. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE- GATIONAL CHURCH— 34th St. and Central Ave. "Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven," Matt. 18:3, was the text used by the pastor on last Sunday morning as he spoke to the splendid audience who worshipped at the church. He emphasized many characteristic traits in children which it is necessary to emulate if we would enter the kingdom. There were two accessions to the membership of the church; one of whom was on confession of faith. Among the visitors were Mr. Neal and Mr. Vance of the Lincoln Memorial Church, Chicago, who brought greetings from this sister church. The evening service was in charge of the children of the Sunday School who presented an excellent Children's Day Program to an audience which filled the seating capacity of our church. Many expressions of praise were given the children for their splendid program. This Sunday will be of unusual interest, being a day of special effort in the form of a Rally. The pastor will occupy the pulpit morning and evening. Morning subject: "Under the Stars with God," second in series on "Christ's Messages to the Seven Church of Asia." At 3 p. m. Dr. R. N. Holt, the popular pastor of St. Paul Baptist Church, his choir and congregation will have charge of the service. You should not fail to hear this man of God. At the close of the evening service the pastor was held up by a representative of the congregation who presented to him a pair of shoes as a token of graduation. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST— (Holiness) Hooper Ave. and East Adams St. Elder Wm. A. Washington, Pastor Last Sunday was a glorious day at Bothel for all who were present. Sunday School was well attended, the interest manifested was encouraging. At the morning service the pastor preached a wonderful sermon; Text, 2 Cor. 7:1—Having these promises dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting Holiness in the fear of God. The message was indeed edifying and spiritual; much exhortation was given for the purification of the flesh. The Lord has so made, and constituted things that it is very necessary and essential that we do something our selves, if we expect to receive the blessing and be partakers of the many good things that he has in his inexhaustible store house. Cigar smoking, Tobacco chewing, Snuff dipping and many other things are flirtiness of the flesh and spirit, and the Christian who is still lusting and clinging to these things is not and cannot be what God would have you. The scripture says "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye seperate, saith the Lord; and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." The straight and narrow way calls for Holliness of heart, mind, thoughts, words, deeds, and actions. Christ is our example; not Peter, James nor John; but Christ who did no sin neither was gulle found from his mouth—follow him. At 8 p. m. the pastor delivered another helpful and inspired message to a large and appreciative audience. Text, Jer. 50: 6. Seeds were not available for all at this service. We were blessed with one conversion and one accession to the higher life. The Lord is wonderfully using his messenger; also sending those who are yearning for deeper truths to hear and be taught the Holy and Righteous way, by a real messenger sent by him. Excellent singing by the Choir. Next week services as usual. Sunday was a splendid day at Wesley. The pastor's morning sermon on "The Christian Goal" was well received. The N. A. A. C. P. rendered a very helpful program at the evening hour. The address by Atty. Alston was excellent and should have been heard by a much larger audience. Two persons joined the church during the day. Our June payments ended Sunday. The total for June was run up to a little over $500. This Sunday is Family Day in the Church. Every member is urged to bring along a friend to worship with him. The pastor will preach morning and evening. Morning subject: "The Family of God;" Evening subject: "Peace." This evening service will take the form of a Peace Celebration. All are welcome. THE FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Rev. J. E. McCorkle, Pastor. Last Sabbath was another splendid day with the people of this church. The morning services were apt and impressive, a sermon for young people and placed where they could receive it. The services at night were great, each performance and performer were exceptional in quality and manner. All of the children were a delight to every soul that takes delight in the prospects of the future of our people which lies in the children. The management deserves the highest of commendation. Next Sabbath is the Fifth Sabbath of the Month, but there should be no up in the services, the morning is: "The Tragedy of Trifling with Sin." Judges 16:20. Services also at 8 p. m.; V. C. E. at 7:30. AT THE GOSPEL TENT. Meetings of exceptional interest are being held at the Gospel Tent on 32nd and Compton Aye. (near Hooper Ave. car line). Last Sunday evening a goodly number heard the lecture by Evangelist J. W. Miller of Denver, Colo., on the topic: "A Definite Message now Due." A soulful solo was sung by Miss Mayme Lowe. Evangelist Miller is assisted by good musical talent. Meetings are held every night except Saturday night. Song service at 7:45 and the lecture at 8:00. These meetings are of especial value to the Bible student as well as to the casual reader. An invitation to attend and to bring their nibles is extended to all. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Third and Traction Ave. Rev. S. W. Brooks. Pastor. The night is on! $3,500 Old Zion is determined to lay at the foot of the altar this year that the building may become a House of God in reality instead of belonging only in part. It must be done! Every fibre of Old Zion is being strained in the effort. All friends and members are asked to rally to her support and give something if naught but your presence. Every meeting is filled with the fire of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Zion is truly up and doing You would enjoy every service. Sunday 5thool 9:30 a.m.; Morning sermon at 10:45; B. Y. P. U., 6 o'clock; Evening service at 7:30 FIRST A. M. E. CHUCKNOW NOTE: 8th and Towne Avenue As usual the services of this past Lord's day were truly edifying. At the close of the morning sermon by the pastor, three Christian ladies came forward for Church membership. Evangelist Robert True preached at the evening service to the acceptable delight of a splendid congregation. At 3:45 p. m. the pastor delivered the annual sermon to the Masonic Lodges of this and adjoining cities at Hamilton M. E. Church. The offering for the day was very good. Educational Day with an Educational sermon by the pastor at 11 a.m. A GRAND EDUCATIONAL and PATRIOTIC PROGRAM by Soldiers and Citizens and both of our choir's at 8 p. m., will be the big feature of Holy Worship at this Historic Church this 5th Sunday in June, the 29th.

Bartlett's Pupils in grand musical recital Monday night, June 30th. Admission only 25 cents. Come on time Refreshments Afterwards. ST. PAUL BAPTIST INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH Rev. R. N. Holt, D. D., Pastor Last Sunday found a full house of anxious listeners. Sunday School well attended. At eleven, Pastor Holt preached from Text: "And they heard a voice from heaven saying come up hither," Subject: "Heavenly Invitation." That he preached a sermon that reached all is beyond question. Our Editor Bass was among the many visitors, and had much to say, which made us feel that we had not striven in vain. Pastor Holt preached sermon for the Masons at Santa Monica in the afternoon, and preached for the Tabernacle Baptist Church at night, baptizing one candidate. Rev. Thornton of Illinois preached for us at 8 p. m., the sermon was well, taken by those who heard Bishop Thornton who is also a member of St. Paul Church. In view of the fact that many of the pastors and members will be in attendance to the Sunday School Convention and Chatsuquas on the First Sunday in July, the "Big Opening" of the St. Paul Institutional Church will be held on the Second Sunday in July, at which time we shall expect every pastor and minister in the city. We will hold preliminary service in new church on the First Sunday, as stated, but the "Big Time" will come on later. Following this opening we will have, "Ten nights with the Churches," during which time ten pastors and their congregations will occupy our new plant. Our services of last Sunday closed with a gleaning of $217.56 and one addition to the church. While the members of the St. Paul Baptist Church and the many friends are overjoyed because of their new acquisition, Pastor Holt remains calm and discrete, saying that in all this, he has done no more than his duty as a man of God and argues, that he is expecting larger things to come to the denomination through his efforts. Come to see use. On the first Sunday, the congregation will assemble at "Old St. Paul Church" at 10 a.m., after prayer, will form procession to the "New Plant," led by Pastor Holt—Come and march with us.—Reporter. We are warned to believe not all teachers that boast of the Spirit but try them, 1 John 4: 1-4. Beloved believe not every spirit but try the spirits whether they are of God because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God. Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God; and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God and this is that spirit of anti-christ, whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children and have overcome them because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. John 2: 7. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti-christ. This is the confession that Christ wants his children to confess. Who is the deceiver and anti-christ? it is him that has been deceived. This is alluding to preachers and teachers. How have they been deceived? First he is deceived in the Christian school or denominational school. There is no Christian school outside of God's school which has for its teacher the Holy Ghost. Why are they so ignorant of the spiritual knowledge of God and understanding of the righteousness of God? They have been taught in that school the knowledge of Good and Evil that God drove Adam out of the Garden; and God declared to set hat knowledge aside. Genesis 3:22-24. And the Lord God said, Beloved that man is become as one of us to know good and evil and now lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat and live forever. Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims and a naming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. These schools conform their preachers and teachers to be conformed to great men as, D, D, so colled. God conforms his children especially his ministers and teachers after the image of his son which is the first born among many brethren. Romans 8: 28-30. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow he also did predestine to be conformed to the image of his son that he might be the first born among many brethren. Moreocer whom he did predestine he also called: and whom he called he also justified. These are they that confess Jesus Christ is cometin the flesh. Whenever we try to worship God outside of us we make a blank failure. These deceivers tell you to get in the church and you are saved. That is the worst blunder that a poor child of God can meet. He is told again that Christ will come on a cloud some day and take them all to heaven. The bigger Doctor of Divinity he is or Bishop, the more people he decries. Why? Because he is deceived himself and does not know it. He doesn't know the things of the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 2:14-16. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. Romans 8:5-7. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God for it is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be Revelation 2:2. I know thy works, and thy labor and they patience and how thou canst not bear them which are evil and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars. Revelations 16:15. Behold I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garment lest he walk naked and they see his shame. You see what a cloud of darkness that the churches are in over this entire land both white and colored. REV. J. H.

GAL TWELVE NEGROES' PATRIOTISM PRAISED Tanning Plant Executive Gives Great Credit to Colored Employees for Services in War and Peace. of Negroes and to their usefulness in industry is paid them by an executive officer of a large North Carolina tannery, where 50 per cent or more of the help is composed of colored employees. The views of the tannery official are thus expressed in a communication sent to Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro Economics, Department of Labor: "To say that the work of colored men is satisfactory would be putting it mildly. We have always considered their work equal to that of the others and have paid them accordingly. "Of course the 52 employees from this plant who entered the service, 22 were colored. Of these a number have returned, and the pleasing part of their return was that they immediately came to us and went to work. We have tried not only to make room for those who were in our employ, but also for a great number who were not in our employ before entering the service. "There cannot be too much said of the colored men who stayed with us during the war. We purchased at the tannery $66,000 in Bonds, Notes and Stamps, and when it is considered that the employees are 50 per cent colored, it is evident that the colored men stood right back of their colored brothers in the service. As we were 90 per cent Government producers, the colored men's work was the foundation of victory, and equal credit is due him for his services in the industrial field. His contribution to the Red Cross and other war work drives was very creditable; in the United War Work drive every man in the tannery donated a day's work, and in the Fourth Liberty Loan every man bought a Bond." The colored employees of the plant have recently formed a hand, which made its first appearance during the Victory Loan drive. $2,1000—East 27th Avenue car; six rooms; bath, set tubs; barn, hen houses.

Bass: Dear Sir: I have just finished reading your editorial. I hope that you or any one else who may be chance read this short letter to you, will not misunderstand me. I am not trying to blow my own horn or puff ye editor or to muddle into your local affairs politically or otherwise; but whenever I see a man in public affairs take a stance for the race, he ceases to be local sat. National with me. When I landed in this your Capital city over three years ago I saw undeveloped opportunities for members of my race; the white people were willing and although many no called leaders had lived for 40 or 50 years, had accumulated homes and some money through humble occupations such as eating, shining shoes, barbering, janitor work, etc. I thought to myself that if such can be accomplished through these humble occupations, what would be the possibilities with office work holding deputyships, etc. Therefore I began feeling the pulse of the white people toward us. (the race) The very first act in that direction was our successful effort in entertaining Henn's Jubilee singers at the Tuesday club. 2nd was the first member of the race to secure the endorsement of our Business Men's association and the last one. 3rd was the first one to sue and procure a judgement for discrimination in a public place; 4th was the first to put a girl of the race in the Sutter Club, such had always been filled by a Japanese or Chinese girl; 5th, the first to be granted marshal of the day of the 4th of July Celebration; 6th, the first to put a man to work in one of our City Parks, McKinley; 7th, the first to put a woman of the race as matron of our high school, which has always been filled by two white women, now only one is white; 8th, was the first to put a race girl in a Dentist Office (Anderson), never before did one of us work there; 9th, the first to put a girl in an Attorney's office (white) as a stenographer, P. J. Wilkey; 10th, the first to ask County Deputyship and Janitor jobs to the Court House for my people; 11th, the first to hold the Secretaryship of the Ministerial Association (white), am that at present; and 12th, last but perhaps the greatest, the first to run for an office in City or County of which people will see that I was hot last in the race nor next to the last of my 6 other competitors for City Commission. I cited all of this to show dear Editor, that all that I have done was not for self, and to show why I write you this open letter to highly commend you upon your stand for what we want.

For everyone enjoyed the day, as only Texans know how to enjoy it. As the Mission Cliff Gardens is one mass of scenery and flowers, and, as our people have oftimes; especially the large congregations, been called a lovely bouquet; suggested from the variety of colors, so the scenery at Mission Cliff Gardens on the 19th. of June was indeed wonderful. All Texans who were able to get hold of one had on their Lone. Star badge and some were not Texans, ran the risk of wearing the badge, to represent "I am from Texas," and they surely were a long ways from Texas. At two oclock the long table was covered with spotless white linen table cloths, and everyone began to spread out the good things they had clicked the day before. Here was another beautiful scenery, for every thing mentionable, from string beans potatoes and salad, to fried rabbit, spring chicken and watermelons was from one end of the long table to the other, all were asked to rise and Rev. Pettigrew asked God's blessing; and then all proceeded to do justice to everything set up before them. We must not forget to mention also the most delicious barbecued meat that you ever tasted, and a dip to go with it was all cooked and prepared by a Texas "Chef". Mr. G. A. Gafford if you don't know it, let me tell you, that this Texas gentleman is some cook—not only barbecued meat, but is second to none, at anything there is to be prepared for the palate. Three or four large freezers of cream, was also given away, as freely as was the ice water in the barrels. Mrs. M. A. Hayden the only Colored lady chaffer at San Diego was hired by the Texas Social club, to go around and gather up all of the old people, who were not able to ride on the street car some came lame and some came blind but at the table they were not behind, they were the first ones to be served, after allowing the dinner to settle, we were called by the President Mr. T. Williams and the program committee Miss Summerville to the reception Hall where a program, of songs, addresses and recitations were delivered. The participants were all Dr.'s of Divinity with the exception of Mr. Nathan Robinson who gave the welcome address and Mrs. C. E. Norwood, who recited. The ministers were: Revs. Pettigrew; Burgess; Green; Woodby; and as the sun was slowly setting over the hilltops far away, the happy crowd homeward turned, wishing for another such day. Don't fail to hear Miss Myrtle Anderson's lecture, at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. The Book Lover's Club will give their closing program, Friday evening at the residence of Mrs. Rosa Cambell's. Mr. and Mrs. J. Goodwin are both on the sick list this week. Miss Viola Johnson teacher of the Intermediate Class No. 1 of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church entertained her class of girls, Sunday afternoon with a picnic at Coronada Beach. They all carried their lunch, and spread it together on the beautiful seashore; after lunch they all went wading along the edge of the mighty waters, and from there to the Merry-Go-Round. The invited guests were: Dorothy Norwood; Fannie Hays and Gladys Johnson. The services at Mt. Zion Sunday was up to the standard. A good congregation was present at all services. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon Rev. Burgess preached a Missionary sermon; a number of sisters from the First Street Baptist Church were present and took a part in the devotional services. During the day three accessions were made to the church. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. have elected their delegates to the Convention to meet in Riverside next week. Those who will attend are: Mrs. M. A. Hayden; Mrs. C. E. Norwood; Miss Florence Henson and Miss Dorothy Norwood; Mrs. C. Wright will also go along with the delegates. Rev. Burgess is proud of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church and the members likewise are proud of our Pastor and his wife. Again the dinner bell rang at the William and Dedrick Cafe for the Presidents of the various clubs and their co-workers, to be entertained by the Civic Center. Responding to this call, the following Presidents were present and made very encouraging remarks: Mrs. Martin, Prem. of the Democracy Civic Centre; Mr. Dedry, Prem. of the N. A. A. G. F.; Mrs. C. H. Dodge, Prem. of the An- ```markdown ``` thenian Club; Mrs. Sarah Snowden, W. P. of the S. M. T.'s; Mrs. M. Stokes, Pres. of the King's Daughters, Mrs. R. C. Plenty, Vice-Pres. of the D. C. C. and Mrs. M. J. Cole, 2nd Vice-Pres. of the D. C. C., and who also acted with much credit as the Mistress of Ceremony. A delicious Chicken Dinner was served to a queen's taste, for 50c per plate. Everyone present enjoyed the affair immensely. Rev. Green and Rev. Woodyboth made an excellent talk. The Prayer Meeting last Wednesday evening at the Mt. Zion Baptist was well attended; after the devotional exercise, Dr. Moore, General Overseer of the Northern Negro Baptists and also, Prof. Carter were introduced and made some very excellent talks. Everyone present was glad that they eame. Rev. R. R. Guy and wife left Sunday night after service for Watts, California, where they will attend the Sunday School District Convention. A joint meeting of the Trustees and Stewards, me at Mr. Nathan Robinson one night last week and Presiding Elder to the Bishop, that the Rev. B. R. Guy be returned to this charge. Rev.

The most unique affair of recent years was the beautiful reception celebrating the fifth wedding anniversary at St. Andrews church given Rev. and Mrs. T. A. Collins Tuesday evening. The promoter of this successful event was Mrs. E. W. Robinson who solicited the aid of many citizens who responded cheerfully in donating flowers cakes and money.

Walker by request repeated her first solo which was indeed beautiful. Mrs. Collins responded in a most pleasing manner, and expressed her great appreciation for the many words of welcome. Mrs. William Slaughter spoke in well chosen words for the women out of the church. Rev. Collins expressed this as the happiest moment of his life and highly appreciated the beautiful words of welcome given him and his "best half". At the conclusion the guests which numbered near two hundred hied away to the basement where a brides cake with many, others and ice cream a plenty, was served to every one. Great credit is due Mrs. Robinson for this beautiful affair and as "nothing succeeds like success," we can say that our little friend is an adept.

Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney of Oakland was the speaker of the evening and was most interesting. The membership roll was enlarged to the number of 144. Of course that is a small number and not our quota, but those who have not renewed and those who failed to add their names to the roll, are to blame.

St. Andrews has a rally on in the form of a "Mock General Conference" Help us to help each other Lord, each others cross to bear. It is a disappointment to the 4th of July committee that our race will not accept the invitation to participate in the parade on that day. We are indeed too slow in some things and too fast in others. It is no credit to us to not parade and would surely help us if we would. A member of our race is on the committee and our attention is called to him by the chairman of the committee. This being the first time one of us held that position, he is Mr. F. Butler.

All the various religious bodies have included work with and for the colored people in every program. Vast sums are being appropriated to carry forward these plans in both Home and Foreign fields. The Northern Baptist Convention plans to spend millions of dollars in developing better churches; in securing better salaries for pastors and in the employment of trained field directors and missionaries. The Department of negro work has been created, and Dr. Elbert Moore of Columbus, Ohio, has been made Director of same. Dr. Moore comes to the work one of the best trained and most efficient pastors of the race. He has labored in social, economic, and civic affairs as well. He is most admirably adapted to the position for which he has been selected. In order that the most helpful plans for co-operation may be effected, Dr. Moore is now making a survey of the Colored Baptist churches His survey of the work in Southern California is progressing most satisfactorily. Thus far, he has studied conditions of churches in Los Angeles, Pasadena, Venice, Watts Santa Barbares, San Diego, and Imperial Valley points; everywhere Dr. Moore finds the people receptive to the new program. Dr. Moore is accompanied by his talented and accomplished wife, Mrs H. A. Moore. For a number of years Mrs. Moore was engaged in social service work abroad, laboring in London and Edinburgh. During the war she was engaged in camp community work in the various cantonments. While in this section of the State Dr. and Mrs. Moore are the house guests of old friends, Dr. and Mrs Wm. R. Carter, of 2412 Juliet St. Heart Attacks come when least expected. Directly some ill feeling makes you aware that you have a Heart is the time to commence taking some treatment.

SOLD BY ALL DRUGGERS BARNS MEDICAL CO., BARNS, NY In these days of repitals, which are very well attended and which seem to be well enjoyed, it is thought that this analysis will be of help to the music lover to enable him to further enjoy and appreciate a recital. Let us consider first the Piano recital. The Pianist's program should be divided into three principal styles: the intellectual, Romantic and Brilliant. The intellectual part should come first while the attention of the audience is focused strongly on the artist and should consist of Sonatas, Themen and variations, Symphonic studies and the like. These pieces appeal more strongly to the intellectual than to the emotional side of the listener and requires more concentration on his part. They might be called the heavy part of the program. Sometimes the artist opens his program with some short pieces of the stricty classic period, such as the Preludes and Fugues of Bach or the light compositions of Handel, Mozart, Hagdn, Scarlatti, Rameau etc., which are used as finger warmers and as means to over come any nervousness which may make itself felt. He is then ready at the second group for his Sonata or other compositions of like character, which, by the way, would be perhaps the longest number on the program and the most difficult to listen to. Nee I add that it is also exacting on the player and is a supreme test of his ability. Here is where he needs a few moments rest and so does the audience and if there is an assistant he should now make his appearance. This relieves the tension and prepares the audience for the next style which is the Romantic or Emotional school. Works of Chopin, Schumann the moderns etc., come under this heading and will be found very pleasing to the listener. There is a wealth of melody and harmony and sensous rhythms in this style and are what the layman might call "pretty pieces". These are not difficult to listen to and are greatly appreciated by the hearers. After this style there could be a pause and another number by the assistant. Then would come the brilliant style with which the program would close and send the people home happy. This style appeals to everyone and is more for creating a sensation than anything else. The works of Lizzt are principally used in this connection. This is where the Pianist exhibits his skill in all sorts of acrobatic feats. This is where he dazzles and astounds and ends his evenings work in such a manner that everyone goes home happy. A resume of the whole thing is: Give the heavy and the most intellectual things first while the audience is fresh and while their powers of concentration are keenest, then relieve the tension by appealing to the emotional side with numbers that cause joy, sadness, humor and the like and finally tickle their ears, cause their heads to wag from side to side in response to catty rhythms, their hearts to beat faster and their breath to come quicker, in the excitement of the dazzling virtuosity of the brilliant school. Thus; he will have rendered a well-balanced, well arranged and of necessity a well played program. There will be numbers to appeal to everyone, everyone will be satisfied and will enjoy such a program. A word should be said here of the assistant. There should never be more than two assistants and rarely more than two appearances of assistants on a recital program. It must be remembered that assistants are to assist and not to Star on a program. Their numbers should be short and of a light character. Great pianists of to-day give the whole program without assistants and the lesser artists sometimes use them. Their principal mission is to relieve the monotony of the program, and fill in what would otherwise be intermissions or waits. They should never be pianists and should be preferably vocalists or violinists maybe a reader. More than two appearances on a program of assistants will tend toward making a concert of what would otherwise be a recital. It is needless to add that the pianist should open and close the program. Care should be taken also not to tire his audience with too long a program. The foregoing article is also applicable to the Violinist or other solo instrumentalist. As for the voice we will leave that for future analysis. FOR SALE: A good six-room house with a sleeping porch located on the West Side in the neighborhood of the schools.

It is a beautiful place it is more than I can tell you of. It is hard to tell which is the greater of the two, London or Paris. I visited the Palace where the peace Conference is being held and addressed the envelop of this letter on the table where the Peace of this war will be signed when done. The next place was paintings of pictures of the world showing how the different Countries entered the war. We next saw the place where Napoleon was buried. The guide then took us through the palace where the President and delegates from the states are stopping. Everything here is a wonder to behold. Next day we saw quite a few places that had been damaged by the German raiders during the war. We also visited the Palace where the Kaiser was born, it was in the time when his father was ruler over France. After all of the wonderful and beautiful things that we saw I can never tell you in pen and ink how great this city is. It is indescribable, all of my time is spent in viewing the city. I will close mother with much love to you and all at home. The Women's Council of Pasadena of which Mrs. G. Weatherton is President will hold another public meeting on Sunday afternoon the 29th of June. The place will be announced in the next issue of this paper. They hope to have for the speaker of the occasion Lieut. Jackson, lately from overseas service. They will also have a very interesting program along with his address. They secure Lieut. Jackson it will be worth while for everybody in Pasadena to hear him, as he has not been heard in this City. The Misses Estelle and Donerva Harts of Asthulu St. are home again. Miss Estelle has been down at imperial teaching school all of the past school term, and is now home for the summer vacation. Miss Donerva has been, visiting her father the Rev. G. W. Harts at Salt Lake City Utah where he has a charge. Both young ladies look as if the world has treated them kindly while away, and are in excellent health. Of course Mrs. Harts the mother, and Miss Lelah Harts the sister are both beside themselves with joy at having the family all together again. Sister I. H. Ford the Evangelist who has been at Riverside will remain over for the Convention which convenes Tuesday morning with the Park Ave. Baptist church of Riverside. Sister Ford will spend Monday in boosting the S. S. & B. Y. P. U. Convention and the Chataquua which is being held in connection with the Convention at Riverside. Sister Ford is to lead the Sunrise prayer meetings at the Convention and the Chataquua, and she hopes to make these meetings a burning factor of the ten day's gathering. At 4 o'clock p. m. on last Sunday those who took membership in the Y. M. C. A. on the Sunday before, met at the Social Hall on Waverly Drive and adopted the report of the committee on the selection of the Board of Managers for the permanent organization. The committee had made a careful selection of qualified men from the different churches and sections of the town so that each congregation and sections of the City would have an active head of some committee in it's immediate vicinity thereby keeping alive the minds of the people to the activities of the organization. The following men were selected to form the first board of managers of this the newest Y. M. C. A. in California. Rev. Wm. Prince, A. H. Evans, Wm. Reynolds, J. R. Wright, Rev. W. H. Tillman, Rev. B. J. Jordan, Rev. R. H. Hunter, Geo. R. Harris, T. C. Walker, W. A. Perry and Wibur Randolf. The committee also recommended to the newly elected board that Master Willard Small, be made the Y. M. C. A. Organist and Henry Prince assistant. The board will meet at an early date and organize the Board by obecting their officers and confirm the chairman of the different committees and then they will proceed to find a suitable Executive Secretary. The membership at the close of Sunday's meeting was 56 and more coming. On Tuesday evening a number met at the Social Hall for the purpose of forming a temporary organization of a branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. J. R. Wright called the meeting to order and after prayer by Rev. B. J. Jordan Mr. Wright made some very interesting remarks as to the manner to proceed in the organization its purposes and etc. followed by brief and instructive talks by Mrs. Rev. Palmer and Dr. Whittaker. The roll was then opened and ouite a number joined, coupled with those who had already been solicited, made up the number of 45 members beside a number whose memborship is in Los Angeles who will be transferred to the Pasadena Branch on motion the meeting decided to ef- fect a temporary organization for the purpose of securing the other five members needed so as to send for the charter, and as soon as this is accomplished they should send for the same President Wright will call all members together as soon as the charter is secured and then the organization will affect a permanent organization. At the Friendship Baptist church on next Sunday June 29th, the W. H. & F. M. Society will have charge of the service all day as it is Missionary Sunday, being the fifth Sunday. The pastor will preach in the morning and the choir will furnish the music, at the afternoon service, the Brotherhood of the church will furnish a program of solos, quartets and choruses at 8 p.m. the Rev. Emanuel Hall of Los Angeles, the well known Angelist singer will preach and sing, which will undoubtedly be a rare treat for all who attend. Where the Responsibilities Lies (Continued from Page ONE) these men, coming from the plantation districts, had never seen a school building, much less having the opportunity to study in one. He would then have been confronted with the knowledge that the school term of the remaining tenth would average about twelve weeks in the year, and even they were handicapped by poor facilities in obtaining more than the rudiments of an education. Yet, these very men were compelled to bear their full portion for the maintenance of the Public Schools. The glaring injustice to the negro of the Southern school system, was brought out by the war, when all other methods had failed. The Southern white man in his eagerness to escape his part in the battle for "world democracy" shoved the negro to the front. The more illiterate, the greater his uncouthness, the lower his status in the eyes of civilization, the better. It would serve a twofold purpose. It would prove their contention that the negro had failed to measure up to his opportunities, that the South was justified in their method of keeping them under subjection. Then, again, it would give their States the credit for giving the full quota asked for by the War Department without jeopardizing their own limbs or sacrificing their own lives. But it was a boomerang; it reacted; all eyes that were not so enclosed by prejudice as those of the young officer's, quoted by Mr. Barry, the eyes of the men who love justice and abhor tyranny, were opened. "If we are waging a war for democracy, let's start right here," was the slogan. Schools were opened in the training camps, and it did not need a Provost guard to drive those negroes to the classes; they eagerly rushed to them; they were intent on gaining knowledge, and grasped every opportunity to improve their mental and physical condition. It was their one chance. For years the negroes of the Southern States have been fighting for more and better schools, but being disfrahised they were without a voice in the distribution of the school funds, altho they were taxed to the limit for the upkeep of those schools. Many a poor black washerwoman contributed two-thirds for the education of the white child, when her offspring was "educated" on the remaining third. But now that, the injustice of the system has been barred, the negro is coming into his own. Through the agency of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the fight for better schools and longer school terms is being waged. Slowly and grudgingly the enemies of education for the negro are giving ground. But the victory will not be complete until the right of farmhouses gives to the negro the right to say who shall administer the funds which he pays in the form of taxes to maintain the Public Schools. Yes, Mr. Officer, your criticism of the short comings of those men who were placed under your care and guidance is an arrangement of the civilization of a nation of which you are supposed to be an exemplary type, yet; like thousands of others, you have allowed your prejudice to blind you as to the real cause of the condition as you found it, and unwittingly pass judgment on that part of the nation responsible for the illiteracy of that part of the negro race with which you were thrown in contact as an officer. The more the pity that you did not, in your New England home, become better acquainted with the negro. You would have seen, that given equal opportunities, he measured up to the responsibilities of life. That along with the amiable traits that make him likable, he had the attainments of a cultured civilization. Instead of having your prejudices deepened you would have wondered at the contrast and sought a reason therefor. Allehsworth ing up history that will redowne to the glory, and honor of his posterity.

ANNUAL MARATHON RACE AT THE FORUM SUNDAY The big doings will come off at the Forum Sunday, the annual election of officers will be the occasion. Of course there is practically never any contest save and except as to who shall be the president. For this position as stated in our last issue J. W. Coleman has put in the "PEP" and made it possible for a real race. No dope so far is good dope by which to gauge Sunday's battle. Coleman asserts that his forces have the situation well in hand and will win in a walk; on the other hand I. J. Norris says that he has an unbeatable line up and that he cannot lose; and in the meantime there looms up the ever threatening dark horse which might make trouble for both aspirants. Another angle to the situation is the attitude of the members who do not talk, but who vote; It has been suggested that a motion will be made to cut out the nominating speeches and so right ahead with the vote, and in this way cause a real honest to goodness show down. Quite an interest is manifest and no doubt a record crowd will be on hand to witness the proceedings. Strong pressure has been brought forward to enter Assemblyman F. M. Roberts in the race, but the Assemblyman we understand does not look on the move with any special favor. However the election will come off and somebody will win: Here's hoping that the best man wins. City News The Patton family extends to all that attended the Recital their sincere thanks.

Last Friday evening the Children of the Sunshine Choral Club proved that indeed the negro race is born a singing race by the program rendered before a large audience of admirers at the Independent Club. The conduct of the children was excellent. Their singing was above par and indeed the remark of one that, "It was better than most grown people could do," was echoed in the hearts of all. Master Charles Norman and Van Norton brought the house down with their wonderful duett. The solos by the Misses Hazel and Dorcas Earles; Myrtle Norman; Mildred McGlothin and Aurora Slater, and Duett by Gratia Pollard and Gecil Center were great. The "Rosary" song by the Misses Viola Dixon and Elberta Alibritton was so well done that they had to do it over to the satisfaction of the house. Miss Idell Alibritton was very pleasing to the Children causing them to sheat in glee. Then last but not least the director Miss Minnie Alibritton by request sang a solo and by further more urgent request was made to sing another and still the greedy audience seemed not to be satisfied. A very commendable work is Miss Minnie Alibritton doing among the children in the community.

A change—wonderful change—has come over a certain Two in the office. Were they really pumped? Anyway the auto ride to Allensworth must have punctured them, for now I can speak of them with even a small "t" in two. They do not seem so big even in their own eyes. These weeks there is more work accomplished with less noise, so that the Old Eagle begins screaming for freedom earlier on Fridays—almost as early with the big two, spelled with a little "t," on the job as it did when they were off—Strange but true! Immortal! He was worth his weight in gold. Oh! how endearced his entrancing eyes and enbancing smile from lips that really spoke. His voice that thrilled.

Mortal—"Ding, ding," the Central Avenue Car stopped and then rumbled on. The door opened and with a "Howdy do" several hundred pounds of mortal flesh toddled in. The Managing Editor looked up and the "entracing eyes" were only Gray-green ones; the enhancing smile had lost its power to enhance and after all he, the Editor, was only a careless, thoughtless human being. The Eaglets went down in defeat before a rank stranger last Wednesday on the links of the Head Printer. The cackling and crowing anticipations of Managing Editor and Lyno Operator were silenced, and their ruffled feathers experienced a fall when the indiTerent Society Editor by aid of the Head, Printer pulled up second, while the Printer's Devil came up third, as always smiling. But—the Lyno. Operator will not be outdone, he is not the outdoing kind—he isn't. So he challenged the boastful Printer's Devil this week for a game. Early Tuesday afternoon they went and as ever the Printer's Devil comes up smiling. Nonsense for a mere mortal to try to oft-do a devil! Friday morning! Hard on the desk, forcing every nerve and shine to serve his turn, the Printer's Devil with the leaves of the dictionary swiftly turning with his left hand, while his right was pushing the pen as hard as it could go, only a few more minutes or else all would be in vain! The leaves turned and the pen flow—just a half second too late for publication. But the Printer's Devil has won for himself a new name.

EXPRESSMEN AND TRANSFER MEN GUESTS OF THE PROGRESS SIVE BUSINESS LEAGUE OF LOS ANGELES. --- The weekly meeting of the League, held at its headquarters, 12th and Central, June 20, 1919, was as all former meetings have been, highly successful. At this meeting the League had as its guest the race Express and Transfer men. The object of this meeting was to bring the business men interested in this particular line of commerce together in order that they may become acquainted with each other, with the League and its aims; at the same time, discuss the possibility of future unity and co-operation. "In unity there is Strength" the addresses delivered by well-known race business men, were inspiring and heartily received. An elaborate luncheonette was served after the meeting by the lady members, whose efforts in behalf of the League's success have been of the highest order. These weekly "get together and get acquainted meetings" of the League are proving productive of much good.

Mrs. Bowers is to be commended upon presenting a group of young people demonstrating such excellent training as these did on this occasion. MME. BELLE O'NEAL PRESENTS PUPILS IN RECITAL.

O'Neal's pupils. Baby Walkins of Watts, California, played a solo from memory having studied only three months. Little Vera Slaughter after studying 9 weeks won fourth prize. Melvin Cooke played with 7 weeks' study. Mamie Watkins of Watts, an 8 month's student was the wonder of the house. Master A. Bennett, student of 8 weeks won 3rd prize. Nina Bennett a student of 9 weeks; Genora Crabtree, student of 11 months; Elizabeth Vaughn, student one year and William Vaughn a student of 12 months, all played wonderfully well.

LOGAN CRAW "At Home" To Members and Friends On Thier Eighth Anniversary Tuesday, July 1, 1919 (From 3 to 11 p.m.) At The Parsonage—1466 Griffith Avenue Everybody Welcome (Wm. M. Watson) "The Sensation of the Season," the best Minstrel I ever saw," were the words of one of the critics, speaking of The Alpha Tennis Club's Minstrel Show last Wednesday night. A brain storm, I'll say,—those end men had the audience rolling in the isles and gapping for breath. And say,—those birds warbled like specimens of real canaries instead of common black birds. Yes, and just look, here is a coal scuttle full of letters requesting a repetition of the thing, can you beat it? Well look out for the date, as Littleton McDuff and Webb King have a barrel full of brand new stuff ready to serve. If any of the "Doubting Thomases" think that the Alpha Club will fall to come through with that Hundred Dollar pledge to the Federation for the Tennis-players-to-New York Drive, just look in the Cash Register after the next performance—"Att Boy!" Next will be a conglomeration of the "Smart Set," July 4th, at the Santa Monica Tennis Club's Annual Championship Tournament at the Santa Monica High School Courts, Cor. Pico Bldd, and 5th St. The following tournaments will do their best to have the way to New York and also to make life just as miserable and unpleasant as the law will allow for the two champs, Miss Fern Caldwell and Eddie Harris; Mrs. Wm. Allen; Mrs. Roscoe Conklin Brown; Mr. Arthur Maloney; Thos. Bain and Wm. Allen of the Omega Club; Mrs. Joseph Prosper; Ray Matthews and Geo. Johnson of the West side Club; Mrs. Henry Young and Miss Hazel Brown of the Young Ladies Athletic League; Hassel Davis; Raoul Thos. Reynolds and Herbert Rainey of the Young Men's Alliance Club of Pasadena; E. J. Peters and McNell of the Santa Monica Club; Mrs. Roscoe Broyles; Gilberta Turner and Charicotte Hubert of the Alpha Parthenial Club; Al Matthews; Clarence Brooks; Paul Williams; Phillip Davis; Henry Jones; Ernest Bynum; Chester Williams; Dr. Benjamin A. Jordon; Bailinger Kemp and Roscoe Broyles of the Alpha Club. The entry fee is $1.90. Lunch and refreshments will be sold on the grounds. A dance will follow the Tourney at Eagle's Hall. Members of all clubs as well as each club's representative are urgently requested to meet with the Federation at the Y. M. C. A. Monday night, July 7th. If you are really interested in the Country Club proposition, don't miss it. For answers to quarries along tennis lines, or for subscriptions for this paper, communicate with Wm. M. Watson, 1474 E. 23rd. St.; South 5218. Friday evening, June 6th one of the grandest, installatory services ever witnessed was held amidst much feastings at the ____ by the Aurellian Temple, No. 5, I. O. O. F. The large crowd present, the high spirits and uniqueness of this initial offering of the Aurellian Temple places it among the very first of active lodges. This order had been organized not a month, the date of organization being May 12, 1919. Sir Bert McDonald Drill, Master, had charge of 20 regaled men, he also acted as Master of Ceremonies. The program was a very excellent one, consisting of numbers from Sir W. Walker and Merrida; reading of original poems; vocal solo, Mrs. Hatie Norwood; selections from Bratton Quartette; Prof. D. L. Taylor with his musical glasses; Prof. J. A. Kinney, magician. Each number was a treat, due to Capt. Bratton as Chairman of Program. The hall was transformed into a picturesque dinner by the installment of small tables bedecked in red carnations while waiters in full dress stood attentively in attendance. Such a feast everyone declared it superior. So on this occasion of the Banquet De Luxe, the Aurelian Temple, No. 8, I. O. O. F., so popularized themselves with such good behaviour and extraordinary service as to always remain attractive. Meadames Jennie Givens and Bertie Parker left Wednesday to spend their summer's vacation in San Francisco. They expect to return in August. CLASSIFIED ADV. LODGE NOTICE.

C. A. SPEAR ..... Managing Editor J. B. BASS ..... Editor ___ THE DEMOCRACY FILM COMPANY If there is one thing which we appreciate most along the line of effort, it is the business men and women who go forth and accomplish things. Therefore we are pleased at the op-Democracy Film Corporation Demonocracy Film Corporation for their wonderful demonstration along the lines of real accomplishment. It is a truth which out-does fiction by its strangeness, to realize a proposition involving $15,000.00 is being successfully pulled off by this people, and it is a high compliment and one which will redound to not only the credit of the concern, but to the whole race as well. "Injustice" the name of the photoplay, was realized in its fullness and when the people were appealed to along the line of the photoplay, as a weapon to bring about a real democracy, where it is most needed, at home. This people realize after all that it is up to them to do their utmost along these lines of effort, and therefore they have backed the Democracy Film Company in its effort to quality along the lines of the world's Fifth industry, and even now while the company is in the final stretch of completing the film, the subscription of stock is needed for the final touches to this their first effort, which will be flashed on the screen at some large theatre of this city on July 15th, after which it will be shown in all parts of the civilized world. There should be none who would have any apology to make to anybody for being even a most humble supporter of such a worthy undertaking as this one. The author of the photoplay, "Injustice," Captain Leslie Peacock is a scenario writer of international reputation, and his connection with the making of it alone guarantees its completeness. His heart and soul has been in this work and his effort to arouse our people along this line of endeavor has been both sincere and timely, and to him a debt of gratitude we shall ever owe, other individuals have sacrificed and worked hard to make this effort a success and are entitled to great credit. The California Eagle will from time to time endeavor to keep the home fires burning and keep Eagle readers posted on the men and women who do the things worth while. The recent drive for membership which closed last Sunday night netted around 350 new members. It is a splendid tribute to the efforts of M. G. Stokes for this showing; and now with a team of stokes, hustling like Stokes hustled there is no reason at all why the drive should not have netted 1000 members. We say Stokes, because we have had our weather eye out and noticed him on the job every minute of the time, and on last Sunday at the Rally's close, we still saw only Stokes. We have some big and generous men and women on the inner works of the N. A. A. C. P. but we fear they are over-balanced. We verily believe that if the people get busy this Association will thrive and grow like a green Bay Tree. It is a sad commentary that Oakland with one-fifth of the population of Los Angeles outnumbers the big town three to one; so evidently there is a screw loose somewhere, and that is the reason that the big Association fails to thrive as it should in these pastures. The departure this week of the surveyors to survey the lands in Lower California into five, ten, twenty and even larger parcels, demonstrates the fact that the Lower California Land and Development Company means every word of what they have said, and are giving a practical demonstration of "Doing Things." The Eagle can well say that whenever any people realize the fact that to keep up with the other fellow, they must produce, our troubles cease, and we then qualify for the march of progress. We predict that the Lower California proposition will be a glorious success and that the only trouble will be a lack of land to accommodate all those who desire to acquire the same. We certainly commend the work of the recent Conference of leaders held at New Orleans, and realize that a long political lines it is a dawn of a new day and as the ideas advanced at this Conference are worked out, there is no doubt of great things and changing of conditions of a people will be the result. We hope to see the Chicago meeting a grand success and that such an impetus will be given the movement in the initial meeting of the American Lincoln organization, that it will carry everything before Roscoe Simmons right in the heart of the South thundered to his people, Travel Travel!! and then travel some more. And we applaud him for having the courage to do so, it is strictly up to the negro himself to right the deplorable conditions which are extant throughout the country, and it is up to him to do everything' that is necessary to make these conditions better. If Travel is one of these antidotes—"Let's Travel." The Soaring Eagle comes forth this week with ten pages all home print, original matter and highest class advertisements; to our local contemporaries we beg pardon for the hot pace we set, but we want to keep you busy. As you set in close by, you can now realize what a real pace we are setting in the journalistic game—Get us, eh? The present administration at Washington will go down in history as the most unique one for all time. Before there was any war or even indications of one the administration levied a war tax on the people, and when the war came on, they simply played the taxing stunt off the boards.

A BIG COUP FOR, "INJUSTICE" A grand opening is being arranged for the super-feature photoplay, "INJUSTICE", for Tuesday, July 15th at one of the leading theatres in Los Angeles, by Mrs. Wilhelmina Owenn, one of the "City, Mothers," and Captain Leslie T. Peacocke, author and director of the production. A great number of the most prominent citizens of Los Angeles have announced their eagerness to be present, to give a big "send off" to the initial production of the Democracy Film Corporation. The photoplay will be shown for two weeks in Los Angeles, after which arrangements are being made to exploit it simultaneously in New York and Chicago and all the leading cities throughout the country and abroad. Mrs. Hamer Burrell, of Washington D. C. is also arranging for the showing of "INJUSTICE" in that city and has gone east to work up enthusiasm for its production. Captain Peacocke is already at work writing a two reel comedy to be produced immediately after the initial showing of "INJUSTICE", to be entitled, "CHICKEN AND CHICKEN", and for which he intends to make the cast of production from the Stockholders of the Democracy Film Corporation. It is the intention of the Company to produce two two-reel comedies every month and a five reel dramatic feature every three months. A permanent "Stock Company" of actors will be formed and, from now on, only actors and actresses of the Colored race will be employed. Captain Peacocke is also about to organize a Seemario Department, employing only Colored writers, of either sex, and will be glad to consider scenarios and plots for photoplays, for which. If acceptable, the Democracy Film Corporation will pay $'000.00 per reel. Lieut. Journee White has been appointed Studio Manager, and all applications for employment should be made at his office, 414 Germain Building, 228 So. Spring St. Chaplain W. W. E. Gladden is President of the Company. J. T. Norris Treasurer, and Olds Banks Secretary.

Every father and mother should be interested in the future of their boys and girls. Every man or woman in his or her future. All should be interested in the future of the Colored Race. Today the moving picture business ranks fifth among great profit-sharing Industries of the world. Fear or Favor tells us that the "Birth of a Nation" returned 3000 per cent on the investment; "Neptune's Daughter," by Captain Leslie T. Peacock, returned 1200 per cent; "Civilization," 300 per cent; "Traffic in Souls," 600 per cent; "The Million Dollar Mystery," 600 per cent. If Democracy nets as much as "The Birth of a Nation," every $100 invested will return $3,000; every $1,000 will return $30,000, 12,000,000 negroes in the United States. It is safe to estimate 5,000,000 Colored People will see Democracy's "Injustice" in the course of a year. Any old picture these days and times will average 10c a person. Therefore, we feel that Democracy will return $500,000 from the negro people alone. After making a ridiculous allowance for expenses, we find $250,000 net profit. THERE ARE NEARLY 500 SHOW HOUSES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY JEWISH PEOPLE WHO CATER ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY TO COLORED PEOPLE AND ARE WAITING TO GET "INJUSTICE" AND ALL DEMOCRACY PRODUCTIONS. The La Fayette Theatre in New York which features negro actors and actresses in drama, will take all that Democracy can produce. Are we going to stand idly by, condemn and ridicule each other while this great opportunity stands knocking at our door? We can create the largest industry in the world for our people, the Colored Race, right here in Los Angeles——if only we will. Our daughters can become stars, receiving hundreds of dollars weekly. Our young men likewise. We can have a Democracy City equal to Universal City working the year round. A profitable, honorable and gainful occupation is created for our young men and women, wherein they can demonstrate in this the Fifth industry that they can qualify along all lines of effort. To become real producers is the only way in which we can hope to keep pace with progress and to gain wealth and competency. Therefore the Democracy Film Company offers the WAY OUT, and presents a marvelous opportunity for not only to acquire wealth but to provide gainful opportunities for our posterity. No longer is there need to set idly by, and watch the profession pass, the Golden opportunity is right now at hand. And now it is up to this people to do all things necessary to enable us to qualify along all the lines of effort. We shall present in its silent muteness "Injustice" and mold a sentiment that will give to us at last a real DEMOCRACY and at the same time provide a profitable and lasting industry which will be an inspiration and source of profit as well. To succeed as a people, we must have wealth collectively. Spread propaganda throughout the world, which will offset the evil propaganda having been spread during the great European War. We must keep before the world the loyalty of the negro to the United States at all times. Others have painted him badly enough, we must show the negro at his best, his good traits. Democracy will do these things, but not without our moral and financial support. Let us prove true to ourselves, our fellow man and our God. When we find we haven't something good to say——then let us say nothing. The fellow who makes himself a stumbling block, generally finds himself nowhere when the final end comes. If Democracy isn't what it should be; if the directors aren't whom they should be; then let us put our money into it the same as they have done, creating for ourselves a voice powerful enough to make it what it should be. Money talks, it is a power, it rules the world. More than 18,000 shares sold. Less than 12,000 to be sold. Stock that you buy now will participate in this corporation for fifty years.

DO YOU KNOW THAT "INJUSTICE" WHEN SHOWN ON THE SCREEN WILL BRING SYMPATHY FOR THE RACE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD? DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS PICTURE WILL SHOW THE LOYAL SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO DURING THE WORLD WAR? DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS PICTURE IS AN ANSWER TO THE CLANSMAN? DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS PICTURE WILL SHOW THE WORLD THE BEAUTY AND VIRTURE OF THE COLORED WOMAN----NOT AS MAIDS? BUT AS ACTRESSES? AND HEROINES? WE BELIEVE THAT THE DEMOCRACY FILM CORPORATION WILL BE THE WORLD'S GREATEST NEGRO INDUSTRY. This picture "Injustice" will be endorsed by leading people of all races and will be shown all over the Civilized World. Will be a direct answer to the WORLD that the COLORED AMERICANS as a UNIT are THE MOST LOYAL of all participants in the WORLD'S WAR for RIGHT and JUSTICE, and still his is the only RACE that must suffer "INJUSTICE."
