POPULAR LOS ANGELES COUPLE TO WED ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 POPUL Last Thursday evening at her beautifully decorated apartment in the Flowers Flats, Mrs. Bessie Brewington-Brewett entertained as honoree Miss Leona V. T. Baher. The affair was splendid in detail most of the guests represented the literary element of the younger set. The purpose of this pretty little social event was to announce the engagement of Miss Baber and Atty. Afue McDowell. The wedding perhaps will take place some time in the month of November. Mr. McDowell is a Los Angeles product and is one of the city's leading legal forces; for the past two years he has been engaged in war work, but has recently made a visit to Alaska before returning to his home in this city where he will again engage in the practice of law. The old settlers of Los Angeles who are acquainted with Mr. McDowell and his family respect him as being one of the beacon lights of the young manhood of his time. Mr. McDowell is a graduate of Howard University from which University he won honors in oratory. Miss Baber like her fiancee is one of Los Angeles' favorite young ladies. She is a graduate of the High and Normal Schools of this city and has taught for the past few years at the El Centro District School where only last year she was promoted to principalship. Miss Baber, aside from being a high type, finished school teacher, is also a modiste and a musician and on the whole a practical young woman amply prepared to fill her niche in life. The Eagle offers Mr. McDowell congratulation in what he no doubt considers his greatest feat to date. EX-ARMY OFFICER WRITES 338 E. College St., Ashville, N. C., September 20, 1919. Mrs. C. A. Spear-Bass, 822 Central Avenue, Los Angeles, California. My kind Friend: When about to be handed my discharge, I was approached by an agent for a book dealing with America's participation in the World War. This is to graco all public libraries, and aside from the photos of all officers, will have a record of all divisions operated as such in the war I scanned the list which paused with the 92nd Division. I refused to subscribe and being questioned replied: "I fought with the 92nd Division of which I am proud. You say nothing of them, and evidence a deplorable lack of appreciation for their splendid support and noble sacrifice. This is a glowing injustice and I must speak. Not knowing how to dispose of us, not wishing us to be with them, they saddled us off on the French, which of course was a blessing. However, we did not operate as a Division. Therefore we deserve no credit. This means that an authentic record sanctioned by the government will forget the "Heil Fighters," 15th of New York, who by themselves wrote a new chapter in American History; the "Black Devils," the 8th Illinois who enjoy comparisons; the 71st and 72nd Infantries all of whom were gloriously recognized by the French Republic. The 92nd Division needs no defense, but the fact remains that prejudice has sent forth suspensions and propaganda insinuations. The 93rd honored by fighting with representatives of real democracy defies these things, and more, they dare not raise their heads. Shall we sit supinely on our laurels 'm and allow this robbery, to go on. I ti hope some voices of power will loudly the grief and demand justice. For the fo ```markdown ``` The California Lagie government to be a partner in this is not conducive to a deepening of our loyalty. They wonder why we have riots, they ascribe them to all sorts of foreign causes, but the truth is manifest that until this damn of deceit is knocked down and the cleansing waters of truth allowed to flow, these things must be. Yours for the Race, D. C. ROBESON. ATLANTIC CITY HONORS ORBER SPECIAL TO THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE. (By W. J. Wheaton.) If we accept the verdict of the Eastern Press; both daily and weekly, the recent session of the Grand Lodge of Elks which convened at Atlantic City was a complete success. The city officials claimed that it was the most orderly assembly ever gathered in that city; not one arrest being made during the week. Although Mayor Bacharach presented the Keys of the city, with its freedom to the "Authered Herd" no man took the liberty for license and the result was an encomium of praise from all sources. The city was elaborately and beautifully decorated for the occasion, Atlantic Avenue being studded with stucco pillars bearing streamers with words of welcome to the I. B. P. O. E. W.; the streets were festooned with incandescent lights of white and purple. But it was the parade that will linger long in the memory of those who witnessed it, twenty-six bands, including the famous womens band, comprising 22 pieces, of Philadelphia. For one and one-half hours, club after club in their picturesque uniforms of purple and white flashed by a jamid the applause of thousands of spectators. What impresses one is the prosperity of not only the Grand body but the Lodges. The grand sessions were held in the beautiful auditorium of Loghhouse Lodge Monarch of New York. O. V. Catts, of Philadelphia, Monumental of Baltimore. Morning Star of Washington, have homes ranging from seventy-five to one hundred thousand dollars. The Grand Secretary, George E. Bates, reported a balance of thirty thousand dollars in the Grand Treasury. The next session will be held in the Mid-West, Kansas City. P. J. Gillmore of Kansas City and W. J. Wineaton of California, stood sponsor and won out over Boston which was a strong competitor. The ball held on the million dollar pier was attended by ten thousand and proved a splendid source of revenue for the members of Lighthouse Lodge. Geo. McMechan of Baltimore was unanimously chosen as the Grand Exalted Ruler; George E. Bates as Grand Secretary and the ever faithful Carter as Grand Treasurer. The past annual session has given to Elkdom an impetus that bids to carry it far toward the van of Negro secret organizations. Already the word comes of re-statement of former Lodges and applications for charter for the organization of new Lodges. The acknowledgment of the claim of Kansas City was accepted everywhere in the true spirit of Elks and "On to Kansas City" has already become the slogan; and next year the familiar, "Hello Bill!" will resound in the city on the banks of the "Kaw." We are gonig to show them true Western hospitality, something that will ever live in the memories of those who attend. I have been making a study of the Economic conditions of our people, both urban and suburban, during my wanderings and have some questions that may prove of interest to the numerous readers of the California Magle. San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1919 THE OLDEST LARGEST AND LOS ANGELES OS AN MURDER AT IMPERIAL By Former Los Angeles Citizen Special To California Engle Imperial, Cal., Sept. 28—O. S. Fletcher, formerly of Los Angeles and at present a resident of Imperial, killed Jerry Caver of this city on the main street at 4 o'clock Sunday by stabbing him with a pocket knife, severing his jugular vein. Jerry Caver was a pioneer citizen of the Valley and bore a most excellent reputation as an honorable and upright citizen. O. S. Fletcher is a new-comer to these parts and much is not known of him here; however, there are many who know him, who say that he was a very good citizen from whence he come. He gave himself up and is now incarcerated in the County Jail with a charge of murder preferred against him. There are many conflicting stories as to how Caver met his death, but the evidence at the Coroner's inquest on Monday was to the effect that the killing was uncalled for; that Fletcher was the aggressor. There are others who state the trouble rose over a dispute about Fletcher taking cotton bickers away from Caver, and that Caver upbraided him and struck him in the face, and that Fletcher who had a knife in his hand drew Caver to him and drove his knife into his neck with the result above stated. Mrs. Caver and daughter are prostrate over the tragic death of their husband and father. They are among the leading and most highly respected citizens of the Valley. EDITOR OF EAGLE ON THE WING Leaving Denver at 8 p.m. on Friday, after an uneventful trip we arrived in the Capital of Kansas at 2.50 o'clock Saturday, our former home where we spent our boyhood days, where we used to know every man, woman and child in the environs of that fair city, Topeka, Kans. A decade however, had wrought wonders in Topeka; the children have become men and women, others have passed away and still others have answered to the call of age and changed in looks to us. This fair and beautiful city has had a marvelous growth and improvement, and some of our friends here really think they have a city. We entered Topeka without the beating of drums or the crashing of Cymbals, but soon the word was passed around that "Joe Bass" is in town and see how the old friends looked us up. We made first call at the office of the Plaindealer (for we are partial to real newspaper friends) where we met the foreman of that establishment, Mr. Ira Smith, who for the period of time of which the memory of man runneth not-to the contrary has been the head man of this institution; Ira I sa fixture of the Plaindealer and without him the shop would be like a ship without a rudder. We appreciate him because his friendship is enduring and he has always been a real booster and as such has helped us to climb many a hill. It was not a long wait until the big chief, the far-famed and mighty Nick Chiles, showed on the scene. We had the honor of being his guest at his palatial mansion and they kept us so much on the jump that we could only partake of one meal there. ```markdown ``` much to the satisfaction we aver of friend Nick. But its heart beats true and we are glad to number Nick Chiles as one of our real friends. And now J. H. B. Taylor our old inseparable friend and co-workers appears on the scene and boldly takes us away and in company with our other distinguished friend Charles Lyle, the real bustling deputy marshal of the court of Topeka, in his Sedan we did the old town and our first night in Topeka for more than eleven years found us going to bed at two a.m. Hurriedly we arose and prepared to go to the church where our mother used to lead us when a boy of 6 years, the church in which we were reared many friends who had not discerned our presence were startled when the pastor called for us to come forward at the conclusion of the morning service. We expressed our delight, told them a few things about California and at the conclusion of the service held a home-coming celebration right in the church. We attended a dinner in our honor or given by our relation Mrs. Susie O'Brien at which the Hon. Nick Chiles, F. M. Stone street, J. H. B. Taylor, Mrs. Brandon, her son and others were present. We were on "The Wing" so had to be on our way, declining innumerable invitations to dine and sup, we must be on our way and making several brief calls on Monday; we bled ourselves to the U. P. Depot and were soon speeding on our way to Kansas City, feeling honored and indebted to our old friends for the royal time which they had accorded us. In our next letter we shall tell you all about Kansas City and its environs. PRENTICE'S PHARMACY CHANGES HANDS. DR. JAMES T. SMITH BECOMES PROPRIETOR OF SAME. The popular and well known Prentice Pharmacy at 1121 Central Ave. has changed hands and the public will be pleased to know that, the genial and well known druggist Dr. James T. Smith has taken the same over and will not only conduct it on the same high plane as heretofore, but will greatly improve its appointments, and it will be second to no other drug store in this section. Already as if by magic, the new Smith's Pharmacy has undergone a remarkable change and become one of the best stocked Pharmacies in the city, the shelves and show cases being filled to their atmost capacity with new and fresh goods of every variety, such as go to make up the stock of a first class drug store. The soda Fountain has been renovated and this special feature now at Smith's Pharmacy becomes a super deluxe special feature where the very best dispensers which it is possible to get, render the same service to the patrons. Dr. Smith is a man with a rich and varied experience in the drug business having been in the business for 15 years, he has been employed by some of the biggest drug concerns of this country. He was not satisfied as an employee, but was ambitious to give to the race a high class business and has been eminently successful, as a look in at his place of business will demonstrate. 图 He was until recently the senior member of the Smith and Leggett Drug Co. located at 905 Central Ave. and successfully managed and conducted that firm, which now retires from business. Dr. Smith is a member and booster for many of our fraternal societies and a distinct asset to our business colony of this city. This highly creditable and progressing firm is well deserving of a liberal support of the people, thus not only demonstrating appreciation but also to furnish an inspiration for other kindred business efforts along all lines to our people—both old and young. Dr. Smith deserves the continued patronage of the old customers of both the Prentice and Smith & Leggett Stcrtes, and promises a continuation of his improved service and that the very best goods and services will ever be his motto. At the same time guaranteeing accuracy and the proper compounding of your prescriptions and to give you exactly what your physician desires you to have. REV. CRAW NAMED PRESIDING ELDER FOR PUGET SOUND CONFERENCE. Denver, Colo.—Rev. J. Logan Craw, former pastor of 8th and Towne Avenue has been appointed as presiding elder, of the Puget Sound Conference, is happy over his promotion and his friends join in congratulating him on the same. His headquarters will be in Spokane, Wash. Rev. A. M. Ward, formerly of Denver has been appointed as the new pastor of the 8th and Towne Avenue Church. DR. NAILOR WRITES 3601 Telegraph Avenue. Oakland, California September 17, 1929. Editor J. B. Bass The California Eagle, Los Angeles, Cal. Dear Friend: Once again I ask the favor of the columns of the Eagle, for the purpose of communicating with my Los Angeles friends. Some of them have been kind enough to write me, by way of acknowledging the reading of my previous Eagle letters, assuring me of a hearty response to some of the thoughts I gave expression to in them. I also have received an anxious inquiry concerning my long silence. For these manifestations of interest in me and sympathy with my ambition, I sincerely am grateful; and I wish to assure them that they have afforded me no small degree of comfort and encouragement. The reason I have not written sooner, is because, for the last six weeks I have unusually busy trying to gain a practical or working knowledge of the broom-making trade. And right here, I wish to say that the making of this indispensable household commodity, the broom, simple and insignificant in appearance though it may be, requires mone work and mechanical accuracy than I ever dreamed was necessary; and doubtless, my belief is, that you too would be equally surprised, and inspired to a greater respect for the broom and a still greater respect for the blind mechanic who makes them, should it ever be convenient for you to visit this broom shop. Undoubtedly the first impression of a visitor on his first visit to such a shop, as he approaches one of incredulity concerning this being a place where blind men work; for the cland and clatter and hum of machinery is a similar noise to be heard around any other busy modern industrial plant; certainly a place where men need the full exercise of all the physical faculties especially so important a one as sight. But when he got inside and saw that it was blind men who were actually agile ing these machines with the same calm precision of the seeing mechanic, would receive a lesson never to be forgotten; a lesson as to what abiding ambition, pluck and perseverance are able to accomplish for mankind, when the opportunity is afforded; how very possible, the seem impossible really is; how small and impotent is the word can't to the man who has the courage to try; of how wonderful a creation man is and how infinitely more great are his possibilities, than he himself ever imagined. Such a revelation of the wonderfulness of created man, must cause profound thought concerning his Creator; a deeper reverence for that Infinite Wisdom and impersonal Love, who could conceive and endow with such limitless possibilities, such a creation as man. And yet the Scriptural question is asked: "What is man, that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou visitest him?" and then the self-given answer: "Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels." With an awakened consciousness of his own high estate and God-given dominion, with the divine command to sunduce the earth, why should not man, in humility of spirit to the omnipotency of his Creator, in His infinite might, "mount on Eagle's wings" to overcome and master whatever ever perplexing problem of seemingly unsurmountable obstacle may appear in his pathway. It has given me not a little pleasure to learn that the Mexican Lower California Land project has finally reached the point of actual possession of the lands and the successful launching of the movement towards this great pioneer, Race undertaking. I sincerely trust that every Race loving man and woman, feel justly proud as I do of the men who have had the moral and physical courage to stand resolutely in the breach of adverse public sentiment, occasioned by the varying viciousitudes of the times, throwing not only themselves, but also their physical personal possessions into the balance of the scales of Oppotunity, with the altruistic spirit of the true pioneer who is willing to be a martyr for the cause of a conceived high ideal, or for the sake of the love he cherishes for his posterity; while maintaining an unperturbed composure, secretly praying that the clouds of darkening gloom or discouraging pessimism might roll back and reveal the ushnlight of the better day with its clearer vision and optimistic apprehension of Opportunity; that this golden opportunity for the laying of the foundation for the independence of the Negro Race, might not be permitted to pass by, without grasping it by the forelock and holding on until the much justly coveted salvation was realized. Now, I am not presumptuous enough to rate my humble opinion with those of the intellectual giants of the Race, of whom I know there are many who know infinitely more about the momentous subjects of the Political, Economic, Industrial and Social pre-requisite calculated to insure independence—yet I have the temerity to venture an opinion, that may only be justly appraised on the strength of the belief that it comes from one who has a profound concern for the future of his Race, that is only equalled by his yearning desire to render some humble service in the interest of its uplift and by the apart logic, I am able to present concerning the subject under discussion. I feel that this, great Race problem of ours, is one that we should not feel should be left entirely for our acknowledged leading thinkers to solve for us, while we sit idly by, adversely criticising their apparent failure or loudly lamenting our deplorable lot engaging our time in pesis, mischief prophesying vodiferously declaring impracticable and insane doctrines. No, I feel that every individual members of the Race should need the Scriptural admonition: "Work out your own mission." THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN. NUMBER 34 should feel a personal responsibility, to do his bit in the bringing about the desired reformation, by listening to the voice of Wisdom which speaks to every man, capable of rational thinking, interpreting Wisdom's ways, in right expedencies, good purposes the proper dispensation of justice and the great lesson of love for God and his brother. He who hears and heeds the voice, the still small voice of his conscience will cease to be an idle critic, will cease to be maiden the failure of someone else to solve his problem, but shall come to know that if he can reform himself, to conform his own action to the high ideals he has conceived, he shall have become a contributor to the universal problem's solution. Having been transformed by the reviewing of his mind, he will then dare to do the right and have the courage to speak his conviction concernni ghe Truth, without a timid thought of his probable humble statue in the estimation of men. I therefore feel that I am justified in attempting a brief analysis of this great problem of ours and to venture an opinion concerning the most practical solution. First, I shall touch on the Political phase of the question. I do not believe that this problem is to be permanently solved through concentration of political effort. Why do I think not? If I can give no other reason, I believe that it will suffice to call your attention to the fact that the history of he Race since its emancipation seems to afford ample grounds of the failure of political activities to effect a permanent entrenchment in the equal enjoyment of the rights of free men. During the Reconstruction period of the Nation, there were representatives in more than one state law-making body; there was Negro representation in the Congress of our Nation; and in other high political places. Has the number increased? Do we enjoy more rights of our citizenship now than then? Is the problem nearer a desirable solution today than it was forty years ago? Have we not seen rights of great men taken away from us one after the other and laws so abridged, nullified or ignored as to restrict us from the political honors? In the natural order of development of things if a seed is planted and it does not yield an increase, or if the infant does not continue to "cut" new teeth, that something must be seriously wrong? The failure of the yield of the seed, indicates that either the seed is unproficial or the soil is too sterile; and if the baby's teeth do not increase in number, there is something wrong with its physical condition. One by one the teeth of the so-called "child race" forcibly extracted and zealous effort made by those intimical to us, to see that no more political teeth develop. It therefore seems to be a logical conclusion that any weapon, any power than can so easily be taken away from the hand that holds it, is a failure as a weapon to secure justice and to call it a power, is an absurd misnomer, whose impotencies its own mocker. The weapon in itself may unquestionably be a good one, but unlaw held by a hand capable of retaining it despite opposition it cannot be a power for successful conquest. The man who listens to the voice of Wisdom, would, upon realization of the true situation, seek about for a remedy for his weakness, would adopt the apparently necessary diet or exercise, calculated to develop the requisite strength for retaining and wielding the weapon, to a successful end. The late Dr. Booker T. Washington, preached to us and demonstrated to the world, the efficacy of his doctrine of Industrial Education. His doctrine was presented to his people as a formula which if used would certainly be the best ionic for the building up of the constitution of the "child race" and ensure its growing into a strong, vigorous manhood concentration on more than MARY HARRIS President of the Madam C.

The members and friends of this Church are rejoicing over the fact that over $4,700 was raised on the Rally of a few weeks ago, and the first mortgage of $5,600 has been cancelled. We have much to be thankful to God for, not only that we have just cancelled a great debt, but also because of the noble work and earnest efforts being put forth by Mr. U. S. Birch who has taken upon himself, with the assistance of others, to beautify the interior of our church. The windows which have just been completed are a great improvement and add greatly to the church's beauty. Mr. Birch is now working on the large posts which support the roof. Corinthian caps have just been put on them and when finished will resemble marble. An after collection was taken Sunday morning to assist Mr. Birch in his work. THE A. M. F.

Neh. 6:3, was the text used by the pastor on last Sunday morning as he spoke to the appreciative audience assembled on the subject: "A true estimate of the Task." At the close of the service three babies were dedicated to the Lord at the altar, by the pastor. "Christianity aggressive" was the subject for the evening message. This Sunday, October 5th, Rev. Howard Folk will bring the message at the morning hour. In the evening there will be the regular monthly Communion Service with sermon by the pastor. Keep in mind the anniversary services next week. Be on hand promptly at all services.. 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. Many valuable and much needed suggestions were given by the pastor concerning the work of the new may be entered with a new zeal and a greater determination to accomplish more than in the past. At 11:30 a.m. the pastor delivered an excellent sermon; Text: St. Matt. 18:35. The principal thought and the spirit of forgiveness. God has so fixed and constituted things that we must have the highest respect and regard for our fellowman. You cannot have hatred and malice in your heart and remain a child of the kingdom. To be possessed with a retaliating spirit you are simply gambling spirit you are simply gambling. If you abuse the Sime and the in you, you will forever have the spirit of forgiveness. For Christ is our only example, not Peter, James or John, who did no sin, neither was gulls found from his mouth. At 8 p.m. the pastor delivered another helpful and inspired sermon; Text: Isaiah 60:1.3. We were truly warned against all unrighteousness, much exhortation was given concerning the many forms and fashions of the day. The world today is in a mass of confusion. Creeds and denominations are impediments to the cause of righteousness. May God hasten the day when they will be a thing of the of part, and the Church like Christ become universal. Excellent singing by the Choir. Next week's services as usual. All are welcome. TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH West 56th St. and Normandie Ave. Rey, A. J. Williams, Pastor. Two more accessions Sunday, bringing the number of converts and accessions in the last three weeks up to thirty, making a total of sixty-eight members. The pastor spoke at both services last Sunday; morning subject: "Safety First" and at the evening: "True Religion. What it is not." Next Sunday morning, October 5th, the subject will be "True Religion. What it is," at the evening service: "A Mere Useful Christianity." This will be a special sermon to the new converts. Trinity is still growing, we haven't room enough in our old building for the many who come to us at each service. Come and hear our Choir. All welcome. MACDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH Watts, California Rev, John A. Fleming, Pastor. Sunday, September 28th marked the close of another successful week for this Church. Despite the weather conditions every service was well attended. Our pastor preached two wonderful sermons. The morning sermon and our B. Y. P. U. lesson, were along the same subject: "Sowing and Reaping," taken from Gal. 6:7, "Be not deceived, for God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." This taught us to be more prayerful so that the Spirit may lead us lest we deceive ourselves and to be more watchful and thoughtful of our actions for we shall reap what we sow; every action, look or deed are as seed sown to be reaped some future day. As a father advises his children to prepare for some event to come, our pastor admonished us to spend a praverful week in preparation for the coming first Sunday which is our day of feasting and testifying to the glory of God. Keep in mind that we need help so prepare to bring or send your donation to our Big Rally the Third Sunday in October. At our Sunday evening service, our Rev, Skinner gently reminded us that we were not giving the Lord his tithe of our earning. He said the tithe belongs to the Lord and then we should give something of what we have left. GRANT'S CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH— Watts, California Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor. The services at Grant's Chapel beginning with the S. S. at 9.30, the Morning Service at 11.00 a.m., the Young People's meeting and Christian Endeavor at 6.30 p.m. and the Evening services were all well attended, and the spiritual fervor ran high during the entire day. Dr. E. M. Clark, P. E. of the Zion A. M. E. Church preached for us at 11 o'clock and was for the day our P. E., as he came for Rev. J. H. Wilson, P. E. The Women's Mite Misionary Society met September 28th and elected the following officers: Mrs. M. E. Price, Pres.; Mrs. C. Clarke, VicePres.; Mrs. S. L. Eggleston, Secy.; Mrs. Pinkey Taylor, Treas.; Mrs. C. Hawkins, Prelate. The meeting was interesting from start to finish. All the sisters are cordially invited to meet with us every Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock sharp. Too much cannot be said of the young people who so nobly took their places in the church by banding themselves together and electing as their President, Mr. Ed. Owens; Mr. Houchins, Secretary. These young people will furnish a program the First Sunday afternoon. In each month, beginning Sunday, October 5th. The First Sunday in each month will be a special effort day. The pastors of the different city churches and their members are cordially invited to worship in the old-fashioned basket meeting style, and we will spend the day in praising God. The different pastors and friends are asked to accept this as a personal invitation to be with us on Sunday, October 5th. THE MISSING MAYOR OF BROOKLYN MRS.

For the benefit of the rr districts, he organized the Farmer's Conference; and in te tities, he of. ganized the “Businessmen’s League. Dr. Washington this admitted genius not only of his race, but plso of his axe, with his far-sighted ion knew ethat it was not efiough td teach his people how to labor in @ scientific way, but their greater need was to in- culeate in their minds the principles of Ecoremy; thus assuring them of the wisest and most profitable invest- ment of the financial nensh that were certain to acerue to them because of their ability to engage in skillful labor. He taught that the way to exercise power among men, was to possess someching they wanted, something that was indespensible ‘tq the one who wanred it; that this possessed thing, might be the fulcrum upon Which, by the lever of the other man’s desire. an eZective power! could be exerted to the porsessor’s advantage.

Editor We notice one thing which appeals very forcibly to us and that is in the League of Nations controversy, the great common people seem to line up to the man against the League as proposed without alteration or reservation. We haven't forgotten nor in the least manner deviated from our announced position, that we must run out along the line of becoming real producers, and it behooves every mother's son and daughter to take due cognizance of this fact. There is no secret to the great popularity of Col Roscoe Simmons, it is simply the fact that he is with the people, works for them, speaks for them, and stands strictly on that ground; therefore the people appreciating this attitude are with him to the man. Hiram W. Johnson seems to be the man of the hour in Los Angeles just now. The old Eagle has always lined up for Johnson because we believe that he is that Rooseveltian type of a man—and if he should even desire to aspire to the presidency no doubt we would be big boosters. Col Roscoe Conkling Simmons says that it's so funny that our country seeks to assume a mandatory over Armenia and other restless foreign countries to keep in line for government, when right here at home it has failed to qualify to make it a safe place for our very own loyal citizens; he says fix this up and then 13,000,000 people will give the League of Notions due consideration. Rev. B. C. Robeson, who has so thoughtfully kept the California Eagle in touch even during his many months in France in his article in this week's issue explains how his American white brother diplomatically robs the Colored American out of credits justly won in the World War. Will the French forget? We say no, for we believe that they realize that the black American as well as the white American helped to save the day for the Allies in that final battle that told the story of the great end. The Cantata, Queen Esther presented by Mme. C. Hulbert at the-Walker Auditorium last Thursday evening was a brilliant success when one takes into consideration the fact that she had to select her characters mostly from amateur actors and actresses who were appearing for the first time in such a highly classical cantata. Especially were the leading roles impersonated by Mrs. Lorenza Jordan-Cole; Mr. Stewart; Mrs. Sellers; Mr. Pollard; Mrs. Pharr; Mr. Emmanuel Hall and others well done. In our next issue there will appear a complete criticism of Queen Esther and we hope the time and place when and where it will be repeated. Well, we see where Senator Has. Reed from Missouri was rooted from the stage in Oklahoma, and too bad the Senator can now realize just what a species of animal that the southern Cracker is, this is the land of Jim Crow cars and discrimination against a man on account of his color. This is a land without ideals, but blindly follow the lead of the demonic prophet Woodrow Wilcox. So Senator you are losing love with these red necks of Oklahoma and now in the industry it would be well to contemplate if you have been just in being politically in The recent demonstrations of mob violence in Nebraska, Alabama and Arkansas is enough to sicken not only a president but any ordinary citizen. So long has the American people tolerated this sort of thing that at last the situation is beyond their control and the spirit of mob violence increases daily. The Negro is, without any doubt, his best friend, as has been well said by Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the fearless race orator, the American white man has. Mme. Hattie E. Norwood the sweet-toned lyric Soprano, will appear before all Los Angeles in a giant Recitla, October 14th at First A. M. E. Church. Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons is delivering a ringing message to all California at this time; an his message is being heard by the thinking class of our people who are looking for better treatment and bigger opportunities in all walks of endeavor. The great drive for the five million dollar memorial honoring the memory of Col. Theodore Roosevelt will be on in a short time. To this effort our people should give their hearty support to the end that they may indeed demonstrate their appreciation for the man who stood out so strongly for them in their darkest days since emancipation; every church, every lodge or other organization should contribute to the fund.'

If you're employed during the day you can join the business women's class and ride or take lesson after 6.30 p.m. Call Eagle Bird.—Here is the advice of a good, sane somebody: I believe that it's high time to stop all this great foolishness on the part of some of these girls who haven't any realization of what ambition is, but think that the greater the dream the greater their ambition and the greater estimation they receive in the mind of those who are looking on and watching them, and when it is all summed up they DC NOTHING, GET NOWHERE, and REALIZE LESS. Now, if you're a working girl and are out in the world struggling for a living (as only a girl, and some who have, at an altar changed their names, because of the fact that this RACE is full of that which they call MEN but as a reality are mere THINGS, who are seen, and more so heard ALL THE TIMES solving the problem of the race by being a self-supporting citizen and PROTECTING at all times his WOMEN, which ought to mean that while being a self-supporting? citizen, he would have, somewhere in the recesses of his brain, a hope to some day (not when he is ready to die) prepare a home and make some the mistress thereof, to work for HERSELF—not others—while he does the working for others; but sad to say this mere THING does neither of the two things pictured) forget this foolish horseback riding, seek recreation in things more tangible and practical; above all save your money, don't spend it foolishly, and when you have enough to settle YOURSELF quietly in life, don't go and marry one of these THINGS and then go to work again, but if you are going to marry get SOMETHING that is going to give to you and not take from you. If you are a rich girl, have plenty of money, go to the country for a vacation and learn to ride a horse—the city is no place for horseback riding!—and don't let anybody tell you different!—J. E. P. Is there any opening for girls in the advertising line?—Yes, all of Is there any opening for girls in the advertising line?—Yes, all of the race journals in this city are glad to give young women an opportunity to develop along this line. Advertising is a very lucrative vocation for women with excellent opportunities for advancement. You can secure books on this subject from the Y. W. C. A. library, 12th St. Center and you can attend a class of lectures Tuesday and Thursday evening at the Polytechnic High School. Room 262. When will you publish the article on women ambulance drivers in France?—In our next issue we will have an excellent article by our own Dr. C. Ballard who was a Lieutenant in the Army and winner of the Croix de Guerre. Girls, this will be one of the many excellent, snappy, newsy features that will be published in this column. Your own favorite officer or enlisted man is going to write us an article—Who is your favorite? Watch for this article. SERMONETTE What is the greatest thing in this wide, wide, world?—Is it riches? Is it honor?—Nay! It is none of these. The greatest thing in this world is LOVE. It was love which made God give up His only son to die for this sin-cursed world. Have you ever stopped to think of the great love of mother for her child? The girl or boy may wander in the downward path; everyone may be against them, but the mother never ceases to gray that God may bring them in the fold. It does not matter what the child may do, has love in so great that she readily forgives. "A mother had an only daughter who was saved, but went the downward path. Every night the mother would pray that God would send Mary home again. She, having faith, left the little light burning in the window and the door ajar. One night God sent Mary to one of the little Missions, and she was reclaimed. Her first thought was of mother. She went to the little home, pulled the latch of the gate and entered. To her surprise she found the door ajar; calling mother, she ran upstairs and greeted her. "Listen! Why is the light burning in the window and the door ajar this winter's night? My child, it was for you. Ever since you left me, I longed for you, so I left the little light burning and the door ajar, knowing that God would send you back some day." God thought to give the sweetest thing weighing every other, He moved the gates of Heaven apart, And gave to earth a Mother. Love for Humanity. Very few of us have learned the love for humanity. We should be so noble that if we needed anything and we knew our fellowman was in want we should readily go and render him aid, forgetting our needs. For after all the thing that makes one happy is thinking and doing for others. "The Almighty and Everlasting was sitting on the judgment throne and was letting the great mass of humanity pass before Him. The judge said to Moses: "What have you given to your people?"—The Law. "What did they make of it?"—Sin. Then He asked Charlemagne, "What have you given to your people?"—The altar. "What did they make of it?"—The stke., Then He said to Napoleon Boppararte, "What did you give to your people?"—Glory. "What did they make of it?"—Shame. "In this way He asked many and each complained that his, gift had been misused. Then the Almighty turned to His only begotten Son: "My doar Son, what have you given to humanity?"—Peace. "What did they make of it?" Christ was silent, but with His pierced hands He covered His face and wept." The rose will fade and fall away The Lily too will die But LOVE shall live forevermore Beyond the starry sky. Then sweeter than the illy's breath And than the rose more fair The tender LOVE of human hearts unsprringing everywhere. Love of the man for the woman was intended to be a blessing but man has so abused it until it has become a curse. Love of the man for the woman has become a curse because sometimes the woman is not always satisfied with what she has and prevails upon the man to steal—perhaps murder—to satisfy her desires. Out from the ruthless ages Rises like incense mild LOVE of the man and the woman LOVE of the mother and child Love of Christ, whose love is so great, so unfathomable that although you may tread the downward path in sin and shame He forgives. Whose love is so intense as Jesus—He suffered on the cross of Calvary for you and for me—All because of LOVE. Christ is LOVE—His LOVE surrounds me, In His LOVE I safely dwell 'Tis above, beneath, within me; His LOVE is mine and all is well. The popularity of Jazz is due to its appeal to the primitive in man. Itself is primitive since it consists principally of strong rhythms, and rhythm is the foundation of music. Before melody WAS, rhythm IS. The keynote of the universe is rhythm. One writer has said that "Rhythm is the rhythmic motion with which the universe is alive. It is the first expression of Creative-Mind." This being the case, then, the cause for the popularity of Jazz is readily explained. It is not national nor racial alone in its appeal, as this is proven by its instant adaptation in many foreign countries. Hence, the rhythmic pulse of Jazz is in accordance with the rhythmic pulse of humanity. It can be observed also that in many cases melody plays a very little part, indeed there are times when there is none. This brings us to ask the question: What will be the future effect of Jazz on the development of music? Who can answer this question fairly? At least we can say that Jazz, sans noise and sans harshness, or in other words stripped of its crudeness, will leave us that basic principal of music, RHYTHM. We can easily say then that future music will be affect- YOUR BEST FRIEND IS MONEY IN BANK The Way to Save Money is Not to Spend It. Put it aside, BEFORE you spend it.

John Arthur Johnson, the former heavy- weight champion of the world, won the champion ship of Mexico, in the sixth round of his scheduled 25-round bout with Charles (Kid) Cutter last Sunday at afternoon. Many of the best judges of the equared arena ```markdown ``` are of the belief that Johnson is the only man that can give the present champion a run for his title; while some are of the opinion that he is the best. Jack has been in the game for over twenty years and knows every angle from A to Z. Johnson's contest with Williard has left the public in doubt as to whethed Dempsey is the better of the two or not. it is true that Jack is over forty and Dempsey only in his twenties, but Arthur is by far a better boxer and ring general than Dempsey has ever dreamed of being. By that it is believed that Johnson at his age can give an account of himself against the best he has weight the world can produce. Like all other champions, after a few years of fighting and meeting all comers, winning easily over all he thinks what's the need of going thru such strenuous training, when all it have to do is to stop out, faint at my opponent a couple of times, make him open up, then put the wood on him. Bit to his surprise he is able to hit his man at will, but unable to knock him out; the Dubbo has trained faithfully and in the best of condition, enabling him to stand the champion's attacks. After many rounds of worry and exertion a blow is landed that doors the title-holder, his is out, not from the blow but from exertion and worry for not having trained as he should. Such was the case with Johnson when he fought Willard. Willard was a big (flame) and knew it, so he would not train for the match and the results were after four or five rounds, he tried repeated to land a knockout, but did not have strength to stop the bill forward, and after twenty-six rounds of fighting Johnson stepped into one of Willard's awkward punches, flooring him the count: he was not out from the blow but from worry and exertion. Since April 5, 1915 when he lost to Willard, he has made the road rough and rocky for those that he could coax into the ring for a set-to. Jack's largest purse fought for was with James J. Jeffries at Reno, Nev. July 4, 1910, which was $10,000. Jack received sixty per cent, which was $8,000; a bonus of $10,000 and $50,000 for picture purposes; total $126,600. SPEED PONIES HERE. Mr. Bentel's outlook for the bang-tail party at Ascot in connection with the Stampede October 10, 11 and 12 is great. Speed ponies, otherwise known as race horses have arrived, are arriving and will continue to arrive for the 12 races to be held this month. Many glad tidings of notable importance were issued by Mr. Bentel, chairman of the Ascot Association, among the announcements made was the one making it known to all that at least 150 thoroughbreds will be on hand for the big turf meet. Meaning that more bangtails will be in action in this city than at any time since racing passed out some years ago. Horses from Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming will be among the entrants. Horsesmen have been watching the effect of the rain on the new seven furlong track which has been constructed just inside of the paved motor course. They announced that the rain has proven just the thing to put the track in shape. In days gone by Ascot was noted for having a fast track in wet weather. The night races will be staged on Saturday, October 12th. There will be plenty of illumination. Chairman Dentel has closed a contract for the installation of the same system ofamps as used in the motion picture studios. This means that the arena will be as light as day. BITTER MAKES HOLLYWOOD FOR THE DUST. Bach Frei's Whittier State School used the Hollywood High School class 14-4, last Tuesday afternoon the toothill gridiron.

Maxwell went out of the game with a briseded heal when he stepped into one of the sawdust holes. Whittier's next game will be today, with the San Bernardino High School on the State school's field, we hope that Maxwell will be able to take part in this game for he is one boy that we would like to see elsewhere in the athletic field. COLORFED AMATEUR BILLIARD PLAYERS INCORPORATE. New York, Sept. 24—At the club rooms, 410-42 Lenox / Avenue, the Executive Board of the Colored Amateur Billiard Players held the first meeting of the season of 1919-1920. Mr. C. E. Scott, president; Mr. Earl Thomas, voce-president; Mr. S. C. Allen, treasurer; Mr. W. R. Davis, secretary and manager; Mr. W. H. Willis, general manager. Much business of the coming season was transacted; Mr. Robert L. Perdo was recommended and admitted to become a member of the Executive Board. Mr. Perdo comes well recommended and is one of the old school of billiards and his experience should be of valuable service to the body. The main subject discussed was the Inter-state open Billiard Tournament to be staged, which will be open to all colored, Class "A" Billiard Players. The president is calling a special meeting for the purpose of compiling this arrangement. This game is expected to eclipse the Haney and Ban game of 1917. The club's activities were somewhat curtailed last year owing to the War condition, even the club's Round Robin jacked interest as so many of the members were at attention "over there." Mr. Willis, the general manager, while on a tour through the North-West this summer did much commenting with the Inter-state game in mind, and it is almost assured that he will bring to New York for exhibition to lovers of billiard, the best colored Billiardiers in the U.S. He found the C. A. B. P was well-known from its activities in all of the principal cities visited by him; while in Chicago, Mr. Willis was entertained by Mr. Sins (Ben) at his private home, where lives Mr. Sins, his mother, his sister and other relatives. Many interesting things and points of interest were seen by auto and visited accompanied by Mr. Sins personally, of which we the Executive Board, feel grateful to Mr. Sins, and when he comes back to our city, we shall entertain him personally. A full schedule of the season will be released shortly by the C. A. B. P. Inc. All Billiardiers with an average of 4 or more are requested to write Mr. V. R. Davis, Secretary, 440 Lenox Avenue, New York City. KID CODY ON STEVE DALTON'S TRAIL One thing we will have to give Frisco credit for, is that she has some real class, when you speak of welterweights in the four-round game. She has sent two classic 145 pounders to this end of the state, that has given good account of themselves, now that the northern and the southern welters are ain't standstill and so evenly matched that the judges cannot decide who is the better of the layout, it is time that Jack Doyle give our boys of the welter class the once overs There are but few of our boys in the welter class about town, for this reason, they have been unable to get a match out at Vernon, that is because no one has been behind them and demanded that they have a chance to show. We are helping to support the Tuesday night fights at Vernon, and it is up to us to see that they get the chance. We have here with us a young gent by the name of (Kid) Cody, who has just returned from Arizona; this is his home town, but he had to go to other parts of the country in order to get a match. Kid Cody at the present time is working out at the Y. M. C. A. with yours truly, and if there's any way possible to get him on at Doyle's Tuesday night entertainment, believe us his name will soon be on the card. Cody is frothing at the mouth for a match with Steve Dalton, and says that if Steve can be coaxed into a bout, he will give the entire layout of welters a scientific box lesson, something that they know nothing about. PALTON AND HERMAN BOX TO A DRAW. Steve Dalton and Tillie Herman fought a classy and speedy four- round draw last Tuesday night at Doyle's Vernon arena, the double referee system worked to perfection. Hermon lived up to all that was said of him and gave the fans a go for their money, which was all that they could expect. He started the contest with two blows to Steve's head that made the fans set up and take notice; he hit hard clean and with both hands. In the first round he stayed out of Dalton's reach and landed at will. The second was about even. If there Was a shade on either side it was Herman's, his blows were telling and he landed often; Dalton was not wasting any time, he was getting his well-known head down style and boxing in with all his might. He didn't try for the head but kept his left lunch hook exclusively downstairs and near the end of the round his body punches began to tell. The third was Steve's all the way: Herman weakened under the continual blows to the stomach and began to miss many of his right hand jabs. Dalton was on his man every minute and didn't give his opponent a chance to get set, it was thought that Herman would not be able to make the erade in the fourth. But it didn't happen. Herman came back in the fourth with a new burst of speed and exchanged wallops with Dalton all the way. He didn't seem like the boy who had been fighting in the third. The bout ended with both boys exchanging punches with a world of speed; a draw was a very good decision. The semi-windup failed to impress the fans, it was called a draw, but one cared what it was, the only thing that would have pleased the fans in this affair had the referees called it a no-contest he would have hit the nail on the head. Harry Beecher distinguished himself by winning two fights the same night. He started the stanza by making Harry McCall's seconds through in the towel at the beginning of the third round, and causing McCall to wish he had of died when he was a baby. In the extra bout, Beecher had an easy time until the third when Billy Nelson, his opponent started to fight but it was too late to be much value; however, Nelson showed some real class. Gene Watson and Leo Houck must have had some words before entering the ring, for they pit up one of the roughest affairs seen at Vernon for some time; this fight was very pleasing to the fans, and when the smoke had cleared away Watson was the winner. Ray Smith won the decision over Young Flores in four fast rounds. Marshall Booker won a four-round decision, arsenal-Dee, Miles. SCRIBE TO START BASKETBALL TEAM. Our old pal and scribe, Lloyd G. Hall, sporting editor of the New Age teils us that in the near future he will put a basket ball team on foot, go to it Hall we are with you in anything you do.

Tomorrow the club will stage a race from the 150-mile station at Sipon, California. Y. M. C. A. GYM. IS THE SCENE OF PLENTY OF ACTION. Yea, now! If it's action that you are looking for go to the Y. M. C. A. and you will find plenty of it. If we remember right, Mr. Hall sat in one of his articles last week that he wanted to start a boxing class; well, believe me; it is started. Say boy! I never seen so many fists at one time before in all my life. It seemed like every time I stopped one about 10 dozen more followed. Say, for a while I thought that there were about ten men in the ring at one time, but when the smoke clear ed away we didn't find but one, so I guess that was all that was' there during the scrummage. Scribe Hall is working out with Roy Norman, a lightweight who recently came from Columbus, New Mexico. Well, Hall is a weiter and his man is a lightweight, so the goings are pretty good. Of course yours truly had to find himself a weiter and a tough one at that. HEAR ME: MEN OF REAL STUFF.

CINCINNATI IS BASEBALL WILD Cincinnati is the proudest city in the States today and Reuther and Sallee are the men of the hour. After the Reds finished feeding Cicotte and Williams to the hogs; Chicago dropped from a 8-5 favorite to even money. Reuther is one of the few men to lead off in a World series game with three hits out of three trips to the plate, which is a perfect batting average. Reuther had Eddie Collins and Joe Jackson the heavy batters of the Sox, eating out of his hands, something that very few pitchers of the American league can boast about. Cincy chatter: "Hot, ain't it fellows?" You tell them it is. The most popular going is: "If the ocean was whisky and I was a duck, I'd dive to the bottom and never come up, tell me how long, will I have to wait." While all the excitement is going on over the world's series, Vernon is making a dying fight for the Pacific Coast Pennant and don't be surprised to find that she has won out when the smoke clears away. St. Paul is on its way here for the serimpage that will take place October 8th. $ ^{b} $ GOATS OF THE SERIES Cigotte and Swede Risberg are brother "Goats" of the "fraternal order of Goats." Cigotte elected himself the "goat" when he assured Kid Gleason that his arm was in perfect shape; he never had less stuff on a ball in all his pitching career. Swede Risberg who balled up a play that should have been the third out in the fourth inning before the Reds started the slaughter, when he hesitated on going after Greasy Neale's grounder, when he did make up his mind to go for it he was about two hours late and the slaughter followed.

Mr. Steward was born in Granivest, Texas and attended the public schools of that city until he later entered Wiley University, Marshall, Texas, where he attended school for eight years. He later went to Lincoln University, Pennsylvania to complete his work in the college of Arts and Science of that institution. When the United States entered the War we was selected by the International office of the Y. M. C. A. as a War Work Secretary, in which capacity he served at Camp Meade, Md., with much distinction and credit to him all. He remained in this work until the appeal for young men prepared for special service in France caused him to resign this enviable and comparatively safe position and forthwith became a member of the famous 325th Field Signal Battalion of the Buffalo Division. Nine of his twelve months military service were spent overseas, where the young man served as radio operator and as instructor in the practice and theory of radio telegraphy.
