REAR VIEW OF SANTA CLARA RANCH HOUSE --- ※ ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 CLOSE Methodist THE LOWER CALIFORNIA MEXICAN LAND AND DEVELOPMENT CO. ...The California Mexican Land Development Co. happens to be made up of men, who when they are convinced that they are on the right track; They never turn back; and for their sacrifice, their faith in making a real opening for a people to become real producers, they have eminently succeeded, and can now put their people on some of the greatest producing soil on the American Continent. To the end that this people may have the chance along producing lines and a place where they are real men and women. The following announcement and articles will explain: After two years of patient, untiring self sacrificing effort the Lower California Mexican Land and Development Co. have succeeded in financing for the sum of $25,000.00 and now offers Negroes the opportunity of purchasing choice level water bearing lands of the Santa Clara Ranch at $20 and $30 per acre. This Ranch comprises 8762 Acres of which 2000 are tillable water bearing lands. The $20 Acres are on sale for cash payable within 30 days. The $30 Acres will be sold one third cash and balance in 10 monthly payments. REAR VIEW OF SANTA The minimum tract sold will be 5 Acres. The same land in Southern California would cost from $200 to $300 per Acre. This land is approximately 180 miles from Los Angeles and 55 miles from San Diego and 37 miles from Ensenada, in Lower California, thus assuring a near by market at all times for the products of these lands. And now this company with a far seeing vision, has delved deep and SANTA CLARA The California Eagie sure and presents a marvelous opportunity for the Negroes of this country to procure the richest lands possible, easily within their reach from a financial standpoint, and at a distance of less than 200 miles from Los Angeles.

My first visit to the Santa Clara was made in June after looking the property over very carefully, weighing everything for what it was worth, both soil, water, and also the atmosphere under which we will have to live. I find that the climate will not differ more than six degrees from the San Diego climate, which is around 85 and 90 in the summer and 60 to 70 in the winter; Can you beat it? I find the soil to be a deep black sandy loam with a depth varying from 1 to 14 feet, a soil that is capable of raising from oranges down to the THE LAND OF THE LION A STURDY OAK ON SANTA CLARA RANCH. smallest, vegetables, the ranch now has a very fine crop of wheat and barley, the property has an elevation of 1500 feet so you can judge for your self. Now the Water, one of the most vital and most useful to both man and beast; In the N. E. corner of the ranch is located, Sulphur Canon and also Sulphur Springs, the Canon extends back several miles in the hills and all of the Canon is in water bearing land, at an elevation much higher than the ranch property giving ample chance to hold water in the Canon for domestic and irrigation purposes at any time that it may be necessary to put it into use. The hills abound in wood for all domestic purposes for burning, there is also plenty of game in the hills, such as quail, rabbit, dove deer and duck in season. Now people the day has come and is staring us in the face, good and hard, and that is that the American Negro has and must solve his own problem. You might say to me, in what way? Force; No! Patrolism? No! Being a loyal citizen to our community? No! Well how then, We have got to take just such steps as are being taken Now, Back To The Soil which is the foundation from BUT SHOWS ONE-THIRD OF RANCH THE OLDEST LARGEST miles of a market as large as San Diego and 37 miles from the town and Bay of Ensenada. This is the chance for a man or woman who wants independence, who wants to be the SOVEKEIGN OF HIS OWN, LABOR, WHO WANTS TO BE REALLY FREE! Five 10, 15, 20, or 40 acres of this land is within the reach of any man or woman at the low price of $26 per acre, cash and $30 on time. Propositions The Company propose to put all land under cultivation until taken up by the owners. They also propose to put in incubators for chicken raising, nursery, hogs, horses, dairy, store and all things necessary to fully develop these lands and to let settlers have these things at as near cost as possible. They expect to make these ranches the show places of the Pacific Coast. What the Russians Are Doing There. Journeying from Russia a colony of these people was established a few years ago just 18 miles south of these properties, and the very first crop which they planted over paid for their land, and now the Russians are the farmers De Luxe of Lower California. Their lands are principally planted to wheat, and they are yearly expanding their colony, by buying adjoining lands. And now this company has demonstrated its faith in this proposition from its personal investigation. They have spared neither pains nor expense to convince themselves; they have made a thorough investigation of titles and absolutely guarantee the same. The titles to these properties come from an original UNCONDITIONAL Mexican Land grant and is the best title that can be made, even better than Southern California lands, which are from a CONDITIONAL land grant. Our very own attorney has thoroughly examined and passed on these titles. We therefore present this remarkable opportunity for this people to procure the most fertile land in this country at a price cheaper than that for which they can rent. They will present this proposition in its fullness to the public at a monster meeting, to be held on next Monday evening, July 7th, at Wesley Chapel, at 5th. and San Julian Sts. at which time steroptican views of the proposed properties will be shown and the land will be put on the market, all platted out and each purchaser can pick out his or her choice of acreage. Truly the dawn of a new day is at hand. THE LEADING IN THE WEST SURDAY, JULY 5, 1919 R CALIFO nce and Sun C which all good things come. The officers of this company have fought and struggled for two long years trying to reach the point that has now been achieved and now we are going to start to build in Lower California, what shall be the beginning of one of the greatest Negro movements in history. I venture to say that within five years from July 1st, you will find in Lower California the Negro toiling and building a foundation for the coming generation that will never be pushed from under him. We are going to open avenues for our boys, and girls that we are striving to educate, we are going to found businesses of our own where we can use them in every line of effort, and to do so we are casting our lot with a people that have stretched forth their hands to the border lines of America and is saying brother come over and be one of us and a part of us. Help us to build up our country, help us to dig the vast wealth from the hills that have never been touched and in return we shall all live under the same equal base enjoy the same priviliges as man and man and when our usefulness is spent and God Almighty sees fit to take us unto himself, we can look back and our youngsters left make his way not as we have had to do as a man. OF ALL OPPORTUNITIES PRESENTED AMERICAN NEGRO THIS IS THE GREATEST Mr. V. M. Cole who has only recently made a trip to these properties says; that of all the opportunities ever offered the Negro, that positively the Lower California offer is the greatest of all. He says; that it is the chance to be a real man. When I walked over this land I only thought of Adam in the garden of Eden, and said that when we get in possession of this we can truly sing: "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." The Lower California project is indeed phenomenal in its breadth and depth. I cannot say too much in praise of the men that have laid the foundation for the greatest movement to benefit the American Negro in the World. I can see the greatest future and if all will take hold, it, means the making of the electric current helping to form the power house that will generate the electricity that will really and truly emancipate 12,000,000 of souls. AMERICAN PREDJUDICE KNOWN IN MEXICO From L. A. Times. Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the World, is teaching a number of Mexican Generals and other high officials in Mexico City the art of self-defense, according to P. N. Snyder, a local contractor who returned yesterday from the Mexican capital. Johnson arrived in Mexico City with his white wife about four months ago and was appointed by the Mexican generals their physical instructor. One day he entered an American cafe. Sunday School Convention with his wife, but the American proprietor refused to serve him. Mrs. Jack Johnson attached the proprietor with a verbal barrage. Johnson told his military students of the treatment he had received and the generals decended upon the cafe owner and accused him with violating the Mexican Constitution. Thereafter Johnson had the cream of the city wherever he traveled. POLICE BEAT WOMAN On last Friday evening a very startling scene was witnessed by Mr. H. A. Reeves, his family and several of his friends, at the corner of Ninth and Santa Fe Avenue, in which officer Winget and Fritol of that district were seen to seyerely beat and mistreat a Colored woman whom they had had occasion to arrest. According to all who witnessed the scene, such treatment was entirely uncalled for, as the woman in custody was sitting upon the curb and making no demonstrations whatever to try to escape. Upon an inquiry as to the severity of such brutal treatment, the said officers immediately arrested Mr. H. A. Reeves. It is authentically reported by reputable people that these officers are in the habit of mistreating, without just cause, the citizens of that district. A case will be instituted by a number of organizations to correct this evil and to bring the offenders before the eyes of the law. See that you interest yourself in it for future well-being of all. SOUTHERN CRACKER PROPOSES AND MAKES COLOR LINE FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES Chas. M. Jack, who runs a truck for the County of Los Angeles, it seems, is even supervising the Supervisors. At any rate from his action with a well-known race man, it indicates as much. This tax payer and well-known citizen of Los Angeles was certified as a helper on the truck of which Champ has charge; of course when Champ saw that the helper was a colored man, he began to stall, to keep him from working, and finally gave him a note for the head of the Flood Control for one-half day's pay and addressed to the same the following note: NEWMARK, July 1, 1919. Gentleman: This man makes 'the fourth helper on my truck. Can get along with three. It is either a cast of my losing both my white boys if I keep this man or letting him go. Kindly allow him ½ day time time he was with me, and also consider me as drawing the line on color in the future. Truck No. 1. A CARD OF THANKS I desire to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and everyone that helped to make my Pupil Recital the huge success that it was. I am especially grateful to the pupils' parents, who by their hearty applause, showed that they are pleased with the work we are doing. By continuing my studies with the best teachers that Los Angeles affords I will be able to give my pupils the best instruction on the piano and organ. I desire to publicly thank Mrs. Lillian Craw and Mrs. Lauretta Butler. Again thanking all for their presence and many kind words, we will try to show our appreciation by working hard to make our recital better next year. ELMER C. BARTLETT, Studio 936 E.

HAMILTON M. E. CHURCH Cor. 18th St. and Naomi Ave. Rev. S. M. Beane, Pastor Sunday marked the close of the series of sermons on the "Seven Seals," and was a great day from every standpoint. The pastor preached at the morning hour from the subject "The Passover," and at the evening hour "Love for God's House." At 3 o'clock Rev. House preached on the 7th Seal, "Silence in Heaven" and ended the series. The interest in this series of sermons was intense as was manifested by the large audiences that attended each night, and heard every sermon. The pastor and members wish to thank Revs. Shaw, Anderson, Price, McCorkle, Holt, and House for their powerful sermons, the congregations for their presence, friends for their interest, and the various choirs for their inspiring music. Each and all conspired to make this a great occasion. Sunday School was up to its usual standard, and was a help and inspiration to those present. The week closed with a special offering on Sunday, which amounted to $225. We thank our many friends for their help in this effort. You will always find a cordial welcome at Hamilton.—Come. GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Watts, California Rev. W. C. Davies, Pastor. Last week was a busy one with us having with us our Dist. Conf. and S. S. and W. M. M. Convention, which was well attended. All charges made good reports. The spiritual feasts that attended each session were great. All seemed to have come with that in mind. Our Sunday services were up to the standard. Pastor spoke at 11 a. m. from Ps. 19, which was a rare treat to all who listened to this young man of God. At the evening services Bro. W. H. Young, a local preacher spoke to the people from John 3:6 this was also a treat to all. We are now on our home stretch for the year will you pay your Dollar Money, that the pastor may turn all of his attention to the last half of our Rally which will close on the 3rd Sunday in August.

The Sunday School had an interesting and profitable session. The School is growing in interest and numbers from time to time. The pastor preached two interesting and highly spiritual sermons at the morning and evening service. The subject at the morning service was "The maniac of Gadara" and at the evening hour the pastor preached from "The loaves and fishes." Both sermons were very beneficial to the hearers. There was one accession to the membership at the morning hour. The coming Sunday being the first Sunday in July is regular monthly Communion Day. The pastor will preach and administer the communion of the Lord's Supper at both services. The pastor and officers are expecting the membership out in large numbers to commune. Strangers and visitors are always welcome to the services of this church. Come where a welcome awaits you and where the old time fire is burning. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST (Holiness) Hooper Ave. and East Adams St. Elder Wm. A. Washington, Pastor The past Sunday was well enjoyed by the worshippers and friends of Bethel. Sunday School was well attended. At the morning hour the pastor delivered an excellent sermon. Text: Eph. 5:25-26. The principal thought was a clean church. Christ wants the church to honor, be loyal and true to him, and stand firm against all iniquity and uncleanness. Christ can only honor the church when the church honors him, if he did otherwise the standard of righteousness would be lowered. The church of Jesus Christ stands for all there is in individual life. I t stands for the moral and spiritual uplift of humanity. It is in the world but does not possess its spirit, whenever those who claim membership in the church of Jesus Christ become engrossed with the interest that pertains wholly to this life, to the ex- 577 CENTRAL AVE.

The two great principals that underlie the church are love to God and love to Man. Supreme love to God is everywhere acknowledged and manifested in the church and his love inspires a ready obedience to all his requirements. There are beauties that distinguish the church from all other institutions; by the church is not meant this religious body or that or this social society, but the great body of believers in Jesus Christ, whose names have been written in heaven. The church has an unselfish spirit. It does not seek popularity. It is characterized by Zeal, Acitivity and unparalleled Heroism and Devotion. The membership in the Church of Jesus Christ is not kep on earth but in heaven. Therefore, a comparison of earthly rolls with the roll up there would be weighed in the balances and found wanting. So my beloved ones it behooves everyone to know for a surety that his name is written in the book of books. We were blessed with one accession at this service. At S.p.m. the pastor delivered another very helpful and edifying message. Text. Acts 7:51. People from time immortal have visited the Holy Ghost in every age and country and right in the heart of this so-called civilized Christian nation they are still possessed with the same spirit as in the days of the first Christian Martyr—Steven—but woe unto their habitation.

P. Greggs, Pastor. The lesson for the Sunday School was the review of the past Quarter by the Superintendent. Mr. J. H. Shackelfor. The children took an active part in the discussion of the lessons and reviewed them with pleasure. The scripture for the morning was read by Rev. Emmanuel Hall. Rev. N. P. Greggs announced his subject, "By their Fruits ye shall know them." The subject at once interested every individual present and all listened with intense interest while Rev. Greggs, expounded in his most eloquent delivery the one and only interpretation of this passage of the scripture. There are three standards by which the fruits of Christians will be judged: 1st. You shall know them by the decision of their choice. 2nd. You shall know them by the carefulness of their judgment. 3rd. You shall know them by the consistency of their lives. This soul stirring sermon was brought to a close by Rev. E. Hall singing "Come Home." So beautiful was the sermon and its conclusion that 6 persons united themselves with this branch of the Christian Army. In the evening God's word was delivered by Mr. E. Kaigler. His sermon was inspiring and greatly enjoyed by all who worshipped with us. The choir as usual, thrilled the congregation with its sweet singing. The solo rendered in the morning by Prof. Johnson was indeed appreciated. Collection for the day amounted to $79.10. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH Noted Evangelist and Pastor, the Rev. Jas. A.

The public is cordially invited to hear this able Divine. Sunday School services, 9:30 a.m. A. A. Lassiter, Supt. Good music will be rendered by the choir under the direction of Mrs. A. Lewis, Chorister. Rev. R. D. Arline, State Evangelist, addressed the Women's Missionary Society, Sunday evening at Tabernacle Baptist Church. Dr. Arline's text was as follows: "Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates"—Prob. 31:30-31. The Evangelist said that neither time nor the psychological condition of the church would permit a full development of the subject at this time, therefore he would be brief. But those who head the sermon said it was a masterpiece, both practical and inspiring. Rev. Mr. Arline will attend the S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Convention and Chautauqua at Riverside, where he is expected to deliver two bible lectures. After his return he will resume his week at the Kohler Street Mission, having planned a very strong and interesting program which shall be announced later.

SANGER CALIFORNIA To the California Eagle: Please allow us space in your paper to respond to the people of Los Angeles and as far as your paper reaches. The victorious meeting of this little city conducted by Dr. Eddie R. Driver. In speaking to Dr. Driver of the papers of his city in which we wanted to advertise our meeting, he recommended to us the "Eagle." Dr. Driver in company with Rev. Blakley came to us the first Sunday in June and launched a meeting against sin and the "Devil" to begin with the congregation had to sit in wonder and amusement at the most powerful sermons preached by Dr. Driver. The different preachers of the city congratulated Dr. Driver for his scholarly and great ability in delivering his sermons although this is a white congregation and a white church yet we are most fondly proud of Dr. Driver. One of Dr. Driver's most excellent sermons was the sermon delivered to the graduating class of the city school, it will never be forgotten. We were also proud to have Rev. Mrs. Driver to be with us one week, her sweet smiles and helpful lessons brought sunshine to all of us, no wonder the saints in Los Angeles are strong with such ministry. Dr. Driver closed his meeting Sunday night with three powerful sermons; in the morning the Dr preached from Job 9:23 took as his subject "The Great Arbitration Case." The Dr. showed Sanger these "days men." In the afternoon he preached from Heb 5:9; subject. "Obedience." Although it was very hot under the big tent. Dr. Driver made his audience forget the hot brawling sun, with it pressing effect, and all of us sat with marked attention as the gospel message of obedience went forth. Sunday evening the crowning sermon was delivered. The whole congregation accused Dr. Driver of saving the best for the last. With the largest congregation of the whole meeting present and with two of the pastors of the city out Dr. Driver came with his closig message, took his text from Matthew 21: 1-3; subject. "Victorious Entry." Say, we all saw ourselves entering into our eternal kingdom; we had a shout in camp. Dr. Driver is the State overseer of this work, and he is this week laying plans for a great Temple here. He preaches in Fresno. Wednesday night, and for the colored people in Fowler Thursday night; Friday night in Sultana and back to us Saturday night for Sunday; then to Oakland where he expects to hold a thirty day's meeting. We are praying that the Lord keep him in health. We also ask the church in Los Angeles to send our overseer to us more often for he is a blessing to us. To the Eagle we will send you $2.00 for printing this article by our dear Bro. Driver if you carge more we will pay it. I. V. BLAZEDELL, Church Clerk. Mr. Harry O.

Notary-Public in and for said Los Angeles County of Los Angeles, State of California. In the Music World An organization which has been named "The Musicians' Progressive Association" has been formed in this city. This organization is composed of musicians and music lovers who are intent upon promoting the growth and culture of music in the community. It plans to have a monthly educational meeting, at which programs, discussion, lectures, etc., will be given. In addition it is planning an artist's course of recitals for the coming season. Its scope will be broad and will cover a wide field of endeavor. Membership is divided into two classes—Active and Associate. The Active members will be recognized musicians who are willing to devote some of their time to the work of the organization; and the Associate members will be any lover of music who is in sympathy with the idea and who pledge support of the same. A yearly fee of 50 cents will be required of Associate members. The following officers have been elected: Pres. Elmer C. Bartlett; Vice-Pres. John A. Gray; Recording Secy. Miss Maudetta Rosemond; Corresponding Secy. Miss Hazel Gottschalk; Treasurer, William T. Wilkins; and Critic, Miss Manilla Owens. Lester Donahue, a local pianist of international fame, played the Coleridge-Taylor transcription of "Deep River" at his recital at the Hotel Alexandria recently. Critics state that his rendition was excellent and although the composition is very unpianistic, his clever interpretation made it very interesting and enjoyable. Mrs. Lorenza Jordon-Cole who has been living in Seattle has come to spend the summer with her parents. Mrs. Cole is one of Los Agneeles' most popular pianists and has kept up her studies while in Seattle. She has appeared before the leading musicians of the North West and has obtained the commendation of Seattle's critics. One daily paper has given her a write-up and published her photo, while numerous magazines and periodicals have commented highly on the artistic rendition of her numbers and of her technical capabilities. The local music lovers are eagerly anticipating a recital which dame rumor says will be given during her sojourn here. One hears some very amusing things from people who pretend to be music lovers. The writer has been asked numberless times if he had ever heard "Madame Butterfly" and if he liked her better than he did Geraldine Farrar. On another occasion he overheard a talkative lady ask a pianist to play "Inflammatus" on a program that she was getting up. Another person spoke of a "Concert master of the second violins," still another spoke of the drums in an orchestra carrying the melody. Such mistakes are easily corrected and if people stopped to think before speaking they could be avoided. The Kentucky State Club meets every Fourth Thursday evening in each month at the home of the various members of the Club. Officers for the ensuing year are: Pres., Mrs. B. Clark; Vice-Pres., Mrs. L.

BASS Editor THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS The Daily Times avers that the Republicans are forming an organization to demonstrate to Senator Johnson that the Republicans of this State are hell bent for the League of Nations with all the Wilson trimmings. Now as a matter of fact regardless of the coterie which the Times speaks of we verily believe a great big majority of the people are not for the League of Nations in its present form; not by a long shot. And as far as Senator Johnson is concerned he has always had a happy faculty of standing up for the people; the Times remembers the motto "Man Must Eat." But there is another favorite motto of the Senator's to our mind, and it carried terror to those who would thwart the people in the days of old in this State, and that motto was, "Let the People Rule." Therefore we opine the Senator's need not fear for he is an adept at divining what the people want, and to give him full credit he is ninety-nine times out of a hundred with the people. Now as a matter of fact if the people are really to be consulted in the premises. this League of Nations proposition is one which should be put up to the people. But this program meets no response from the advocates of the League; the idea of the people having a say it seems is their fartherest thought. Senator Johnson has always been the "Peoples' Man" and despite the fact that the Times announces this super Republican clan; organized to show the Senator where to head in at. We make the prophesy that when it comes to a show down with the people Johnson will be way on top. REALIZATION OF PRODUCTION IS AT HAND The announcement of the Lower California and Mexican Development Company that the acquisition of the land so long sought by that Company is a reality, we verily believe bids the dawn of a new day and we want to congratulate the Company on the success of their undertaking up to this stage. Produce something has been our rallying cry, and now this Company right at our own door has solved the problem by providing the way to become real producers. Let not the tall building and the glamour of city life longer detain you, but hasten on, the bugle has sounded for an army —an army worth while of producers to join the mighty caravan in the march of real progress and factors in this great reconstruction period. The very best compliment we can pay our Maker, our family, our country, ourselves is to qualify along the line of real progress, and such is never attained only by those who can produce, this magic word brings all other things, it builds cities, it builds Railroads and Steamship Lines, yes count us in on the Producer's side at all stages of the game. We were indeed pleased at the appreciation shown to Elmer C. Bartlett on last Monday evening, when 8th and Towne Ave. Church was filled to the utmost for the occasion of the presentation of Mr. Bartlett's pupils. Without going into details, the performance of these young folk reflected the great worth and usefulness of Mr. Bartlett as a teacher of music in this community, and we heil him as one of our greatest musicians. Elmer Bartlett is a modest man he would not for a moment tolerat these lines if he knew they were being written, but the Eagle just will not wait ```markdown ``` for him to die to proclaim his worth, but feel complimented to have the opportunity to do so now. Easy going, quiet and unassumingly in this community he has wrought great deeds and the people demonstrated their appreciation to the utmost on last Monday evening. J. W. Coleman the employment king's election as president of the Fortim last Sunday is an object lesson of what can be accomplished if one should really keep kicking. Despite the fact that the odds were at all times against his election he never gave up in despair, he had his goal set, turned a deaf ear to those who would try to discourage him and just kept "kicking" and reached his goal which was the Presidency of the Forum. In the dying hours of the present regime in our city police department it is but in keeping with conditions all the way along the line when on last Friday night two brutal police officers dragged from his machine and placed under arrest one of our best known business men and most highly respected citizens. But we verily believe that we shall yet see a better day when all men shall receive a fair and square deal. Mayor M. P. Snyder goes in to office on next Monday; we are writing him a letter to the effect that up to this time large and loyal part of our citizenship has not received any tangible recognition in City affairs; also to the fact that Jim Crow is walking abroad in our city and ask his succor, his relief. Our President no doubt with his arrival home will become lonesome for his extended stay in Europe has been of such strenuous work always in the limelight that it will indeed be a hundrum existence for him in these United States. The Shatung Peninsula in China is not the only untoward proposition at the Peace Conference, but their utter failure to live up to the proposition of all men up and no man down. We might note that notwithstanding the recent graft prosecutions, the lottery sharks, and crap shooters games are running wild, and they are not all down on Central Ave. either. It's too bad that John Barleycorn and the glorious 4th nearly had a run in, it being a hard matter to keep the funeral and celebration segregated.

Coleman kept for many years a stout heart and on last Sunday after an exciting contest, was chosen president of the Forum by the narrow margin of two votes over his opponent, J. T. Norris. The setting for the contest was not unlike that of a National Political Convention. Coleman had left nothing undone that was necessary for his election. He had an organization; they held a caucus preceding the calling to order of the Forum. Each Lieutenant had his work mapped out in true methodical political form. There was mortal fear in the Coleman camp of the dark horse; the Norris camp made no organized effort and had no program. The election brought forth some new Richmonds at least into the political arena, aside from those who attend only around about election time. Now take Prof. J. B. Banks, a Coleman leader, he was Tom Plattie like right on the job for his man. Then there was the old political war horse, W. H. Sander; close by was T. A. Cole; and to do the smooth work, heckling, etc., was W. L. Gordon; E. G. McKinney was the runner up and this galaxy along; with Mr. Duncan, aided and abitted by Rev. A. P. Shaw, crawled out of a tight hole and put over Coleman, the man who never quits, for a win by two votes over Tom Norris. Coleman says there was a machine, and he now says the last sad rites will be held over the said machine Sunday. We epine if there was a machine it was a mighty good one, and to heat by practical deeds the accomplishments in the past will be a record worth while. So on next Sunday with due ceremony, J. W. Coleman will unless he drops dead, realize his high ambition of becoming the official head of the Forum. The Eagle bespeaks for him a strong and loyal support, and that we may indeed have a highly successful administration. Adopt By-Laws. Preceeding the election on last Sunday the Forum adopted a new set of By-Laws: one of the features of the same was the recall, on petition of a certain number of members, the recall may be worked against any member. --- In the next issue we will screen the dope in detail on the July 14 tournament at Santa Monica, however, a late outburst of enthusiasm took place when the slackers received the news of Mrs. Perey F. Morris of Seattle and a member of the Alpha Tennis and Outing Club of that city had cast her hat into the ring, and will annex (or attempt to do so) Miss Fern Caldwell's title, and then migrate to the Northern City with same. (?). The Western Federation of Tennis Club's slogan is, "A Country Club or bust!" ad that means "complete" by January 1, 1921, no foolin'. This stunt need not necessarily cost the individual much of the family bank roll, as a very easy and painless method of extraction is to be employed. To begin with let's have tennis, more tennis; more clubs, more clubs; more members, more members; more effort, more effort; more jack, enough jack, "plenty country club," sure! Listen, there are enough young athletes and "athletesses" in Boyle Hts. alone to form two or three Herculanian Clubs. Just see here, a few of our old school mates, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wilson; Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Stovall; Leon Fortier; the two Hick Sisters; Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Jetter; Miss Flora Williams; Felix Williams; Wm. Lawrence; Romeo Bryant; Albert Sims; Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Spencer; Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Holloway. Mr. and Mrs. Avery Reeves; Mr. and Mrs. Bell; the three Bruce Brothers; the Lewis Brothers; and a regiment of others and tennis courts out there galore; somebody wake 'em THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE up, make 'em organize and join the Federation in this proposition.

Watson, 1474 E. 23rd St., South 5218. It was rumored that Mr. J. A. M. was going to buy a new Fiddle and the Fiddle bow to complete the unlouness of his studio. Well, it is true. He has purchased a brand new voilin, or in fact he had it made to order to fit the muscular texture of his well trained hand. Now everyone is wondering how much this swell Fiddle cost Mr. J. A. M. Well, it only cost way up in the cipher mark. We think that Mr. John A Mitchell will be able to trance his hearers into fantastic dreams. The Woman's Day. Nursery have moved into their spacious new quarters at 1373 E. 19th St. Mrs. Carrie C. Lewis appeared in recital last Wednesday evening at the Douglass Temple.

CALIFORNIA LANDS COMING BACK TO THE PEOPLE Actual Settlers Can By A Majority Vote Organize Irrigation Districts. Sacramento, Cal., May 22, '19 With the approval of Governor Stephens of Senate Bill 493 a new and important development of irrigation in California may be looked for. In effect, the bill unlocks certain areas in the State from the dominance of large land holders who have been able heretofore to thwart the organization of a number of irrigation districts. The important change affected by the new law is that irrigation districts may be formed by a majority vote of the people, instead of by two-thirds vote as, the old law required. Some question arose as to the effect this change will have on irrigation bonds. Governor Stephens made an examination of this point and has definitely assured by men who are authorities in the bonding business that no such result would occur. The majority rule is a principle that is general, and other projects and organizations support bonds by the majority vote. The bill originated in Merced County to cover a local situation but it takes on State-wide import. It is a blow to the land baron who in some parts of the State has been a barrier to progress. The breaking up of these immense holdings is a demand of the times. An important step in this direction was taken in the enactment of this law. A minority of one-third has in many instances been able in the past to prevent the organization of irrigation districts. This minority has too frequently served the purposes of the land barons who have for many years wielded a powerful sway. They have in many instances been wholly inconsiderate of the neighboring small land holder and have been active in taking possession of water rights. Manifestly their power and influence have been broken and the signing of this bill by Governor Stephens promises a new era in California's irrigation development. LOOKING BACKWARD: We should not think opposition to Coleman on account of the fact that he lays his cards face up on the table would get anywhere. Criticize a man because he places his cause with the people by advertising, would indeed be a step backward. The Forum is no secret order; it is the "Peoples" organization; therefore Mr. Coleman is wise to every curve pitched when he advertises, and if he displays no over-exuberance of enthusiasm and makes mistakes otherwise, his progressive campaign would indeed return him a three times winner.

(Continued from Page One) 26, which reads:—"God hath made of one blood all nations of men." These words constitute one of the earliest declarations of the principles of democracy. The sentiment was uttered in Athens, the ancient seat of learning, by Paul—the ablest exponent of Christianity of his time. The essential unity of mankind was accepted then as a fundamental fact.—both by scholar and saint. Science and religion therefore see eye to eye on the main proposition and they may cordially co-operate in their mutually avowed purpose to bring about the full realization of pure democracy,—providing that they do not permit their attention to be distracted from the fundamental fact. And just here lies the chief danger of the hour. We are becoming embittered and emblored over confusing issues. We are assigning to fractions the full value of the intiger. We are getting lost in blind alleys with restricted and segregated limitations. Democracy! How loosely the term is used in this day of Reconstruction. It is a word to conjure with. It has come to be the name, almost anything from Autocracy to Anarchy. Indeed, it is daily becoming harder for the average man to determine whether Democracy is freedom or frenzy. Wherefore it is of extreme importance that we inquire—and with a special earnestness—What is DEMOCRACY? Going back to original sources we find the answer quite simple. Democracy is not many things,—but one thing. And that one thing is ONENEES. Democracy may be defined to my notion in one word. It is solidarity. Not the solidarity of identity or sameness as of many particles of sand in a sand-pile. In that case democracy would be an aggregation. Not mechanical solidarity, as so many particles of earth in a well of hard-baked brick. That were a democracy of the mass. But the solidarity of a living organism,—East, West, North and South,—with variety, self-expression and yet the most vital unity for the good of all. A plant is a good illustration. Every leaf, every branch, every flower is different; yet the plant is one. So much so that no leaf, no twig, no branch may sever its relations with the organism, and no flower may be plucked from the stem without death ensuing! An even better example is the human body,—where in addition to the death penalty for disunion, there is a life penalty. "Whether one member suffer, all members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all members rejoice with it." Is not this exactly the principle embodied in all the sacred instruments of American Democracy? The Declaration of Independence was the enunciation of solidarity. Had that principle been accepted by the mother country, in all probability America would not have severed her relation. Self-expression—not separation, was the desire of the forefathers. This fundamental principle is emblazoned upon our escutcheon: "E Pluribis Unum." It is written large in Ameri- tea's jurisprudence. Equality before the law. It flames brightly from the torch of Liberty. It is heard more clearly now than ever before in our United States from the Sable Sons of Ham who regard as an actual truth God's vision to Peter on the house-top that caused him to exclaim: "Of a truth I perceive that God is no responder of persons; but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness is accepted with him." (Acts 10: 34-35) Solidarity has been the dominant note in Americanism from the nations birth down to the recent unprecedentedly united effort in behalf of Democracy. Somewhere in every Capital, in every school-house, in every church might well be displayed the words of Abraham Lincoln, called forth by Greely's "prayer" to him "in behalf of twenty million" who desired an immediate edict of Emancipation:—"If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object is to save the Union! What I do about Slavery, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union." Lincoln clearly understood the meaning of Democracy and uttered the same in that immortal Gettysburg speech when he proclaimed: "It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us here to dedicate to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for, which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall under God, have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth."—And such is DEMOCRACY. Lincoln clearly understood the ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` meaning of Democracy. Do we and the proponents of the League of Nations? God grant that we all may understand. Is the League of Nations a real step forward? Senator Reed of Mo. seems to have his doubts. However, let us hope that it is. Whether it is or no must be left to Statesmen and to time to determine. Certainly it is a nerve in the right direction, and as such is deserving of profound consideration and sympathetic open-mindedness on the part of all who believe in Solfarity and Unity; Equal opportunities and universal Justice to all men alike. But whatever uncertainties or misgivings may be involved in the Statesman gigantic task, the task of the Christian and the Christian Church is quite clear. (Continued next week) THE BUSINESS LIFE OF ALLENSWORTH. Engaged in Grocery Business We found facing the Railroad Station a neat grocery store well stocked with the necessary things in all lines that are required to make up an all around grocery in a country town. On the same street, what no doubt will be the main street of Allensworth some future day, is the Post Office, presided over by Mr. Wells, who even though he is not permitted to hand out as much mail as is handled by one of Los Angeles' Sub Stations, manages his office with the same skill and cheer that would be observed in any well regulated post office; and yet a little further on, on this same main thoroughfare there is another grocery owned, and controlled by Mr. Singleton; and be it understood by all who propose going to Allensworth, that after landing, the first thing you should do is to see Mr. Singleton and let him smile the sunshine of Allensworth into your soul. Among those ranching on a big scale is Elmer C. Carter, Pres. of the Chamber of Commerce, who has under cultivation 200 acres of land; owns 40 hogs. 32 head of cattle, and 14 horses. Mr. H. J Hackett one of Allensworth's largest Real Estate owners, is leaving no stone unturned in his effort to people Allensworth. And by the way we camp nearly forgetting to mention that Mr. Hinzman, the gentleman who owns the first mentioned grocery is the first and only black judge we have ever looked upon in all these United States and believe me, when I tell you that even though he is black, Mr. Hinzman wears his long tail coat just the same as any other judge, and what I mean carries his head just as high. Now, while we did not room at the Allensworth Hotel we took our meals there, and nowhere in the State of California have we had better service or better prepared meals, and we can but hope for its head, Mr. Mattox, continued success. Presuming that it is due to the fact that we are intensely interested in the young people, that the thing that made the gravest impression upon us was the Public Library, presided over by Mrs. Dotson. The Library is a neat little frame building away from the center of the little town; it contains an hundred and sixty volumes highly appreciated and carefully read by the children of Allensworth. During the conventional session Mrs. Allensworth entertained with an afternoon tea at the Library which was unique in every feature. It would be entirely out of place for us to close this chapter without making some mention of Mrs. Allensworth, who still retains and occupies during the greater portion of each year, her home at Allensworth, the spot nearest the heart of her deceased husband. As we saw Mrs. Allensworth at Allensworth, we hold her in or memory as the Guarding Angel hovering sweetly and gently over those she would guard against any storm of adversity. Our next and last chapter will be "The Needs of Allensworth." The Tortured Negro or The Cry for Justice," Louis Michel's best Poem now for sale at 10c per copy. Lodges, Societies, reciting artists can get them in the bulk. Nice remembrance to mail to your relatives and friends. The out-pouring of a Jew's heart for the oppressed colored people.

E Church, Cor. Eighth and Towne Ave T. H. HICKS, President OFFICE LIFE "Eagles! Eagles! Have you an Eagle? I want an Eagle!" Beads of perspiration dropped from the boys as they shoved the papers with the one hand and received the 5-cent pieces that were pushed into the other as fast as their strength would allow from the news stand. I assisting staggered back when I had given out the last paper—The last Eagle had been sold, still the mob surged on demanding Eagles in no uncertain tones; they were not to be satisfied without them. Fright seized me as I looked into the angry eyes and wrought countenance of a strongly featured great big man who insisted that I give him an Eagle whether or no. The "there isn't one left" died on my lips unsaid and with hand to throat chokingly despairing I turned away only to face a sea of flushed faces and waving hands of ones crying, "Eagle! Eagle! Eagle!" "Oh, why did I ever do it?" I demanded of myself, thoroughly disgusted. "Why did I ever write it?" With a start the Society Editor sat upright in bed. The sun of Wednesday morning pouring into the room to remind her that the papers must be out on Thursday and her Society Columns as yet hot edited—"And to think that my wonderful article was only a dream" mused said Editor, and with a sigh—"Well! after all, I am glad it was!" * * * * He closed all obligations; gave parting instructions—valued secret business information and turned over personal belongings to side and business partner. To his scribbling partner he bequeathed the use of the Editorial atmosphere of his private room, and with suitcase and hand bag in hand he was off. The day passed. The Managing Editor planned "absence of Editor" days. The society editor very leisurely began planning a feminine touch in the rearrangement of room bequeathed. The Lyno operator assumed the air of the Man in Charge. The Head Printer's face said, "more responsibility." The Printer's Devil looked on in askance. Next morning, bright and early the editor puffed in and with an "There's no place like home" air, calmly sat his suite case down. A general relaxation blew in on the office. No one demonstrated a bit of surprise. The usual "good morning" was said. "Twas no more than anyone suspected—from the Editor. Bright and early Friday afternoon the papers were off the press. The last "hurry-up." "hurry-up" "hurry-up" of the press was cut off. The Printer's Devil with a lively (somewhat strange) step and business independence, dismissed himself from the Friday evening mailing party, and was off. The Society Editor dropped into his place and seemed to fit very well, so that Managing Editor, Lyno Operator and Society Editor, long before the sun had drawn its golden rays unto itself, were off on the adventure to set the Old Eagle free. A general excitement was over all. The Avenue Car seemed not to come quickly enough. A jitney, a taxi, a bike or anything with a run to it was sought up and down the streets. "Here! here!" shouted the Society Editor. "Here! here! let us catch this Red Car." Ding-ding, rang the mortormartman. With a shrill "wait a minute," the Society Editor, like an excited antelope bounded "across the street and with hand on bar and foot on step was drawn back from the now moving car by a painful groan. Limpingly the Managing Editor discovered that a sprained ankle and fractured toe could be the result of assuming antelopeic qualities when one had no antelopeic quantitative relations. But perserverance is hers; very bravely she caught the car that landed them at their point of destination. "San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego, Bakersfield," one after the other the different California towns were called—rat-tat-tat-tan, click, click, the mailer rolled; tap-swiss-swiss the papers stacked higher and higher were bundled, tied and pitched into great sacks. With biting lip and swollen foot brown with iodine, the Managing Editor with one thought in mind forced her every heart and nerve and sinew to serve her turn toward said purpose. Half past eight! Desperately flew all hands. "Tick, tick;" every movement of the clock said, "quick, quick" "What time is it," fell on the air from the direction of the much absorbed Society Editor. The answer, "A quarter to nine," sent her into coat and hat, instantly and with a heartless "good-by" she took all of the starch THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE THE CAFE Metropolitan Hair Store and Costuming Establishment 952-54 Central Avenue out of the Managing Editor who limply resigned to the denied misery that welled up in her eyes and face. The hopeful cherfulness of the Lyno operator was exchanged for a quieted but spontaneously combustible grouch. The editor grunted significantly—but the Society Editor with one bound was off. And he the innocent cause of it all was very naturally the object of much laughter as subtly, witty Samuel Stevenson Tucker at the Country School of Blueberry Corners which met in the village Church, St. Phillips Chapel C.M.E. Nor can he be dubbed "A devil of an Actor," as a Country School boy in a country school he was allee same as the Rabbit thrown in the brier patch. "This hoped he will be better satisfied with his own fort instead of trying to captivate that of an Editor. Still at it is he? Secretly does he steal away to the home of the Head Printer and practice for hours at a time. Getting in trim it seems, from results of such practices, for the next great show down. And will the Lyno Operator be the loser as usual? That is the question. Occupied always his mind seemed to be, but every once in a while a streak of happiness would flash across his face. We have all been expectant. He kept it as long as he could and then the other day it just poped out — The printer is preparing a Crochet ground and the Eagle Staff will initiate it. —Glorious now! Ain't we THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK Mrs. Fannie Williams, one of the most popular and enterprising hairdressers of our city, has been engaged in the business for the past three years.

Mr. Thomas W. Ponsetta 2728 Glassell St. Elder in the Westminster Presbyterian church and one of California foremost hotel chef's has just returned from a special trip to Lower California, where he visited the Santa Clara Ranch. Mr. Poinsette who is loud in his praise of the men who have started the Lower California movement says; - Lower California offers hope to our people such as is found nowhere in this country, never have I met people and officials who have been more sincere and cordial in their welcome. Santa Clara is so rich in lands and abundant in water, that a man could live there on one half of the effort required to live here. To the extent of my ability I am going to buy these Santa Clara lands, and I urge all of my friends to take advantage of the wonderful future which Santa Clara offers to all who are fortunate to acquire land there.
