ESTABLISHED 1878 LEADING RACE JOURNA THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 UNITED STRATEGIC WHITE AND BLACK AGITATION IN CONCENTRATED MASS MEETINGS ALONE WILL BRING RESULTS AND FINAL FREEDOM—OLD LINE PROPAGANDA USELESS. The writer of this article registers his grateful appreciation for Mrs. C. A. Spear-Bass; V. Gray and all the members of the New Hope Baptist Auxiliary Missionary Society in launching him forth as a battling forcible force in behalf of the down-trodden race at the nice and modest church edifice, so ably presided over by the president. by the very lively Rev. A. Lively. For two reasons the writer thanks those lady workers for their very timely and, let us hope, most fruit-bearing action: first, for serving a great cause in a most modern way, and second, for unearthed an old orator at a most suspicious time. The great cause for the new and ultimate emancipation of the viciously oppressed Negro race is gradually enveloping entirely original and ultimately practical channels and most resourceful tactics, as have never before been thought about or resorted to by less alert organizers and less probing strategists than these ubiquitous women-agitators are. These lady toilers of organization have cleverly detected that the impending National crusade for the breaking of the modern chains of the fettered colored people must be broadened out and all racialized, before the Negro can gain his freedom. Black mass meetings without white participants must be taboo, for they lead to no definite success! No moral victory, no fruit-bearing battle ground will be won, unless the true white friends of the Negro are carefully and zealously called out to the mass meetings of the Negroes, unless every subtle and ingentous effort is made to make the liberty-agitation for the Negro not only the Negro's cause, but moreover the white man's cause, as far as a united propaganda for both races is concerned. Can this double, reatured mass meeting propaganda really be successfully executed? The writer answers in the affirmative and ardently suggests the following three modes of timely agitation: 1. Every colored man or colored woman employed anywhere within the reach of white employers should invite these employers, if they possess a fairly nice temperament, to these mass meetings and they should carefully explain who the speakers are. 2. Every colored man or colored woman should urge upon the white businessmen whom they patronize as a special recognition of their patronage not to fail to come to a certain most important mixed mass meeting where a very important speaker, white or black, will speak upon most vital matters. 3. Every favorable liberty-loving element in this city such as we have, true-blooded Americans, Jews, French, Germans, Italians, Japanese, Chinese, Mexicans, Scandinavians and others, high-minded capitalists and idealistic Socialists, eminent men and women of philosophy, law, public life, commercial enterprise and religion should be particularly dissected from the real white foemen of the colored peoples and these white friends should be politely invited to come to these educational mixed mass meetings and they should be made a part and parcel of this human machinery of agitation. Only by such heroic propaganda can the persecuted Black people make any substantial headway. Black mass meetings for Black slaves alone are most insufficient, absolutely incomplete. White and Black fighters for freedom must meet together and an agitation of modern revolutionary importance of heart and mind, like the olden days abolitionist crusade was carried on, must be universally taken up. How can a big, grand agitation for a vital National change take place without more than 1% of the struggles for justice and fair play entire The California Law ly absent from these mass meetings? Competent men and women should count noses of their white friends and follow up their abodes, organizing at once into districts, and precincts, so that no loyal friend of the great cause can be overlooked. These mass meetings should be called into large halls and in most popular locations.

IN THE ARMORY, CORNER J AND FIRST STS., SEPT. 10-15 1910. The journey to and from Newark as a delegate to The Convention was as comfortable and pleasant as could be expected. Scenery along the way and the Cities and Towns thru which our train passed were of great interest, each holding its peculiar charm and affording unsolicited delight to the traveler. Accommodation. The service on the trains, as also that at way stations, was regular and without discrimination. Charges were very high, but all paid alike nor did anyone complain. If, however, criticism was called for one, could not help condemning the extraordinary charges on fruit—10 Cents for an Apple, for a Pear, for a Peach and for an Orange was shameful. This does not apply to train service alone, but at places along the road, and in LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1919 THE OLDEST BROADWAY DEPARTMENT ITS Well may we be proud as there are some people in this world with liberality of thought and democracy of spirit and among these are Mr. Arthur Letts, proprietor of the Broadway Department Store and its management. Thursday afternoon, the sixteenth, they had a bronze tablet unveiled, to commemorate the services given by the 103 employees during the World War, 1914-1919, by Mayor M. P. Snyder. This tablet will stand as long as the building stands and will serve as a lesson of patriotism to all that see it, and the significant fact is that, we the Negroes who went from there were honored as much as the others—ten of us. Our names written in bronze. Only one other place in America has a Negro's name been placed before the public in fostering love of country and that name is Crisipus Attucks, carved in the side- Towns and Cities: Acts of this kind tend to awaken the displeasure of God and to with-hold His blessings. Arrangement. In providing for the great body of people attending these Annual Sessions the chief item is that of ample and suitable provision in Board and Lodging. The Ministers of the city and adjacent towns appeared united in effort for this purpose, and under the circumstances did very well. But it was everywhere noticeable that the temptation to make money held a stronger hold upon them than that of seeing to the comfort of Delegates. Church debts, Church repairs and other things are too often the excuse for the decided aim at money-making, and over charges at gatherings of this kind. Many of the delegates whose money gave out had to return home before the Convention was over, and many of those who remained were rest-broken, having suffered at the stings of "The Knights of Labor." Delegation. If the Convention has had a split, one could not detect it, the delegation being the largest in the history --- walk of Cambridge St., in Boston, Mass. From the unveiling the management entertained us at a banquet in the Garden Care, 5th floor, which was beautifully decorated and again we found ourselves really guests, our table being centrally located, just to the left of that of the proprietors. While we were partaking of the following menu: Eavial canape; Fruit Cocktail; Cheese straws; Celery; Salted Almonds; Olives; Cream of Tomatoes au croutons; Lobster a la Newbury; Tomato Princess; Chicken a la Maryland; Julienne Potatoes; New Garden Peas; Fancy Ice Cream; Assorted Cakes; Demi Tasse; Covina Cigars; La Marquise Cigarettes and Bonbons, all sang these songs: Smiles; When Johnny comes Marching Home; I'm forever blowing bubbles; Pack up your troubles; Beautiful Ohio; Column of the Convention. People came from all parts of the country, and many from Foreign Lands. A most pheasing feature in the make-up was the return of so many brethren who had gone over to "The Rump Convention." This was very marked, nor was the behaviour and general interest of these brethren other than that shown by them on former occasions; the welcome back to the fold was most cordial and sincere. Convention Called to Order. At 11.00 a.m. Wednesday, September 19th, the Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris, president, gave three distinct raps with the gavel, and declared the Thirty-ninth Session of the National Baptist Convention opened. Multitudes of people came pouring into the tremendous building, and for a few minutes one could not hear anything but the tramp of thousands of real Baptist feet; but soon there came a push as the Rev. G. W. Robinson, of Iowa, Rev. G. W. Oldham, of Illinois, and Rev. W. A. Robinson of Mississippi opened Devotions. It was refreshing to be brought face to face with The Maker, before entering upon the great duties of the Convention, and all bia; Battle Hymn of the Republic; Mr. Strausberger proposed that weing to our wives and sweethearts, so "When you look in the heart of a Rose," was sung. At the request of Mr. Letts., "The Maple Leaf Forever" the national hymn of Canada was sung. The Vessar Girls Orchestra furnished music during the evening. Mr. Philip the toastmaster gave a glowing tribute to the boys in a shorth speech and then announced that each speaker with the exception of Mr. Letts would be allowed three minutes. The fifth speaker among the service men was the writer. Instead of telling his experiences THE FIRST WORLD WAR he spoke of the lasting tribute paid thru-few Negroes there and how they appreciated the same. The last speaker was also one of us, Solomon Q. Samuels, who told of the services rendered by the $15th and $16th Pioneer Infantries. Then came the big thing of the evening, "The Welcome Home," by Mr. Letts and to quote from the Los Angeles Express: "Mr. Letts took this occasion of announcing to the returned service, men that he was going to present to each of them a $100 Liberty Bond." This is out-doing the government as it gave only $60 as a bonus and we the Negroes can feel with pride that not only are we honored among the heroes whose names appear on that tablet but we are sharing in one organization in this city that appreciates our worth to some degree. DENNIS M. G. MATTHEWS enjoyed the season of Prayer and Song. The great Songsters of God Brothers Britt, Bushell, and Lewis were there, and they made us remember that there was still a Godd In Israel. Official Program. The Official Program was read and approved in very little time. Much to the credit of our brethren, they were not attempts of a serious nature to block the work. Welcome Addresses. There was a ring of reality and sincerity about the several addresses of welcome to which we listened. The first was on behalf of the State by Governor Wm. N. Runyon; he spoke with freedom and earnestness. His chief point in the address was the remarkable utterance—"I congratulate you as members of a coming Race, while I regret that I am a member of a going Race." This was observed by everyone, and very much referred to during the sessions. The address on behalf of the City was offered by Mayor Chas. P. Gillen, and he was very earnest also in his (Continued on Page Eight) --- "HEAVEN, HELL, OR DEMOCRACY," BY CHAPLAIN B. C. ROBESON, U. S. A. TUESDAY, OCT. 21, 1919 LOS ANGELES, CAL. CHAPLAIN B. C. ROBESON Who will speak at First A. M. E. Church. Tuesday evening. While inhaling the fragrant perfume which came from the Orange blossoms, and walking amid the palm trees where lost angels dwell, a call came loud and clear from the Government of the U. S. for Chaplainus. My life was happy and sweet because my labors were attended by the blessing of Jehovah. I listened to the rumblings of the mighty conflict which shook the world's foundation; I watched my people as resolutely they bade adieu to the pride of their hearts; I listened to the nation's chief executive as he cried "The world must be made safe for democracy." I decided to do my bit by casting my lot with your son's, being conscious of their heartaches and consequent necessity for spiritual guidance. A more optimistic soul never went to war. I believed that with the world's freedom at stake, those battling for the right would submerge all selfishness during such an intense hour—I believed that with the souls of men crying for freedom and justice, that prejudice, the arch-enemy of Anglo-Saxon civilization would for once be throttled by the iron grip of prudence and the vision of a common cause. It was my happy fortune to be placed with the 369th Infantry of New York, the regiment that smashed all records for continues stay in the trenches when it fought the Hun for 1911 days—that never lost a prisoner or gave the enemy an inch of ground—that give to the A. E. F. the first American to receive the Crok de Guerre, Henry Johnson who with Neodham Roberts, give an example of bravery which responds through THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN. the hall of fame. The first Negro regiment to land in France, it was the first to take the firing line. Back it came giving luster anew to the reputation of their fathers. The Negro soldier stands unique amid the heroes of the world. It was not his to march forth with unlimited confidence in the flag he waived on the Commander who said "Forward march." It was not his to strike for the freedom of France or England with the consciousness that he himself was free. "We must make the world safe for democracy." It was this lofty ideal, breathing the heart-aches of a mistreated people which inspired our Boys to march forth determinedly and willingly. With intrepid daring and unsurpassed bravery they played their part well. While they gave themselves willingly as a sacrifice, their thoughts sometimes made them groan, and they found the mattle within more than trying to the soul. However, with the words of Carney on their lips, "The Old Flag never touched the ground." they surrounded themselves with a halo of inspiration, and left an imperishable name which will ring forever down the corridors of this monumental epoch. Time is not mine to carry you with him across the field of battle where he dipped his pen into the ink of determination and wrote a new chapter in American History. Just remember that the 92nd Division climbed the steeps of the Argonne with a courage that needs no defense, and a precision that grips the heart. The only colored division with colored officers in the main, its pathway was filled with obstacles, and many mountains touched with an artificial hand, but with the blood of their fathers urging them on to victory with the memory of San Juan and Carrigal still green and nerving their arms, they went forth singing "Put your head down Allemand." Tonight reflectively it sits beneath the horizon of peace, and as the searchlight of the historian shines upon them, they know that their deeds defy propaganda, and their exploits laugh at derision. The 93rd Division brigaded with the French, fought beneath a democratic banner. See them as they storm the heights of Butte Menil and walk the bloody crest of louis champagne. No aspensions color the records, no insinuation would blacken their reputation. They received their just deserts, they fought while drinking from the brook of democracy, and with the erile of freedom in their hands they stepped on the Hun's heel as he crossed the border land of Grmany. Seven months ago I wrote an article, in which I predicted the Race riots and clashes we are now having. I said "He returns no wwth the gleam of victory in his eye, wantinw his just reward. Contrary to his expectations he perceives no aparent change, but finds the murky waters of prejudice still stagnant, and commanded, in ungrateful ones to drink therefrom. The feeling engendered, needs no description." Those who fought to keep the fire burning at home with a longing fruition of their hopes in sight, find themselves amazed, chagrined, and on the point of desperation. Some wise enough to read the signs are planning and waiting for the coming hour; others are drifting from their moorings, and defying whirlpool shoal and all—in an hour like this I sound the cry, "Don't rock the boat." We are passing through a period destined to try the soul. We have done our work and demand our wages; we have won the race and wait impatiently for the garland of victory. To stand in line seems pret.

The Quarterly Conference of this Church will convene the first week in November. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH 740 Maple Avenue There was marked interest in our Sunday School last Sunday. The attendance was large and encouraging. All the strangers and visitors received the usual welcome and were evidently pleased with the kindly reception given them. The Lesson "Jesus in Peter's Home," was heartily entered into, and quite an impression was made on all. At the 11 o'clock service there was quite a large audience to worship The Master and listen to His Word. The Message was from Isaiah 33:17. "Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty." Dr. Prowd was really assisted by The Great King above in the presentation of the ruth. He took occasion to refer to the presence of the King of Belgium in our community and the great crowds of anxious people who went forth to see and greet himself and Queen. He then led his hearers on to the coming of Jesus, the Universal King; Dr. Prowd gave word pictures of His life in the various aspects of His life on earth, and then gave a description of His return to earth, and the people who are to see and welcome Him. Truly God was in His Holy Temple, and the people knew He was there. The B. Y. P. U. was very well attended and the interest was good. At night Erothrør Skinner preached for us and we had a glorious time. Our brother in the most earnest manner gave us the full Gospel. Four persons joined the Church. Come out early this Sunday and come praying for a blessing. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHUCH—1406 Nwton Street Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor. The services at this church on the past Sunday were of a high spiritual order. The pastor preached at the morning hour from the subject: "Immortal Hope." The Holy Spirit was present in demonstration and power and the hearts of the worshipers were made glad as the blessing descended. The pastor and congregation worshipped with St. Paul Baptist Church. Rev. R. N. Holt, pastor at the afternoon service. The Choir of this church rendered the music. Another spiritual feast was enjoyed at this time. At night the pastor preached from the subject: "Greated Anew," and another good time was had. Taken as a whole Sunday was a great day with this church. The coming Sunday is the first Quarterly meeting of this Conference year and the pastor and officers are expecting the membership out in force to greet the new Presiding Eldar and to partake of the Quarterly Communion. The services at this church are always deeply spiritual and; therefore enjoyable. Strangers and visitors always find a hearty welcome here. Come where a real gospel message awaits you. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Eighth and San Julian Streets Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor Sunday was Program Day at Wesley. The pastor's morning sermon dealt largely with the plan of the work of the new Conference Year.

Robeson, Chaplain of the U. S. A. and in attendance upon the session of the A. M. E. Zion Conference in session in our city. The pastor will preach the evening sermon using as a subject.

In the afternoon Rev. J. C. Anderson preached; Text, Obadiah, 18th verse. His Choir was at its best, many of his members worshipped with us. Rev. Anderson left no stone unturned in delivering this message; we were compelled to say, "Did not our hearts burn within, while he talked with us, by the way." A Sacred Program was rendered in the evening by the Choir. The special on the program was several selections rendered by Prof. Heath, to the delight of the audience. We trust he will come again. Services next Sunday in their usual order. Visitors and strangers are welcome here. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH—34th and Central Avenue Rev. F. E. Lightner, Pastor. The past Sunday was filled with good things in this church. Following an unusually interesting and profitable Sunday School session, Rev. John Baer thrilled the hearts of his hearers as he spoke from the text, "Be still and know that I am God." Pg. 46:10. At 3.06 p. m. the Simpson Lewis Memorial Fund Band held forth in their monthly meeting. Rev. R. J. Williams brought the message at that hour. An offering of Ten Dollars and Eleven Cents was added to the treasury of this fund. At the evening hour Ward Chapel A. M. E. Church united with us in a joint service. Rev. S. E.

Brooks, Pastor Sunday was a glorious day at Zion. The Sunday School was well attended and our historian, Mr. Bates gave a very interesting talk on the Lesson. The pastor delivered a masterful sermon at the morning service; Text "A sure Foundation." The Sacred Concert in the evening was a splendid success and well attended. Prepare yourself for Service," was the subject of a very inspiring talk by Miss Ellen-Prowd at the 3 o'clock service; Mrs. M. R. Cavinness sang a beautiful solo and all the young people present were benefitted by this service. The Rally will be finished on the Second Sunday in November and everyone is invited to come over in Macedonia and give Zion a lift. MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH Watts, California Rev. John A. Fleming, Pastor. The Third Sunday was a great day in the history of this church, spiritually and financially, as there was much rejoicing over the success of the Rally and much feasting in Spirit for several sermonettes were preached here during the day. One shadow which overhung our services, however, was the fact that our beloved pastor, being confined to his bed with a severe case of La Grippe, was unable to be present and enjoy the first fruits of his strenuous efforts. Many prayers were offered for his speedy recovery. Rev. C. P. Dones was the pastor in charge during the day, preaching a soul-stirring sermon at the morning services, which was certainly enjoyed by all present. At three o'clock the church was filled to capacity. Rev. Price of Grant's Chapel A. M. E. Church preached a sermonette that stirred the whole churche; Rev. Payne of Furlong Tract then followed with another sermonette which was full of Spirit and Truth, after which the collection was taken by the two clubs, the "Willing Workers" took the largest amount; the total afternoon collection was $164.00. The Choir furnished special music. An excellent F. Y. P. U. lesson and program was next in order, with good attendance. Rev. C. P. Dones, President of the B Y. P. U. Convention gave us much useful information and advice as to how to conduct our Union. He also complimented the number of young people present and the Junior Choir. At the evening service the pastor in charge again preached a glorious sermon after which the final report from the Bally brought the total amount to $100.40, a result of two month's work. The "Willing Workers" were victorious in raising the largest amount of money. A much-needed and appreciated gift was received from the Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena Missionary Society in the form of two dozen new "Songs of Service" books. Sister Fleming certainly proved herself an able assistant in her husband's absence, filling the vacancy by making the right addresses at the right time. THE MAYFIELD SUN 1115----1117 East 10th.

Dr. Ballard of 1700 Central Avenue has consented to write a bit of history for our column, beginning with this, week, each week we will publish an article by him on the deeds of valor performed by our heroes, who fought to make this country a decent place for us to live in. —C. B. THE FAMOUS EIGHTH ILLINOIS SAILS FOR FRANCE. (Lient. Claudius Ballard, M. D.) On the morning of April 6, 1918, after all night preparation, checking up and weeding out of sick- etc. 3000 soldiers all with a per centage of 100 in physical and mental health, under the leadership of Colonel Denison and his entire staff of Colored Officers, marched to the transport U. S. Grant, docked at New Port News, Va. The old Fighting Eighth Illinois Regiment had been ordered overseas to help check the oncoming Huns, to save France from complete ruin and make the world safe for democracy. The march to the boat was exceptionally quiet and orderly, each man with a strong heart, steady hand and a seriousness of purpose, realizing fully the job before him but all good soldiers, willing to go where ordered, at the same time with the confidence in their colored officers that they would not be exposed unnecessarily or sent where their leaders dared not go. After boarding the vessel and packs were unslung, the silence was still unbroken; men looked at each other and then at the shores of their country, thinking of their beloved ones at home, realizing that some, must pay the extreme sacrifice and give their lives for the cause, each wondered. "Will I answer roll call when the boat returns to these shores after it is all over?"—wondering too, if he did return, would he be received as the man he must have been in order to endure and would he be allowed to enjoy the rights for which he had fought 5000 miles away from home, "What will my sacrifices mean to me and my people?" These were the questions in the minds of the soldiers, which dominated the silence. However, every man was proud of the opportunity to go forward and proud indeed to be a member of the 5th Illinois Regiment, which was truly a Muster unit from Colonel down to the lowest private. After checking up no time was lost in setting to sea. For the first two or three days many of the men suffered from sea sickness, the ocean being very rough. After gaining their "sea legs" the men were given drills, exercises and bams on deck, sufficient to keep them in trim. To make the voyage pleasant, vaudeville shows from talent aboard and movies were at their service at night and band concerts every afternoon by the famous 8th Illinois band under the leadership of Sgt. Duff. After reaching the danger zone a convoy of submarine chasers guarded us against submarines. The trip across was in the main uneventful, only once sighting a German submarine but because of our heavy convoy was chased, making no attempt to attack. After 15 days of sea-faring, zigzagging to dodge mines and subs, we landed at Brest, France The French gave us an enthusiastic, heart-felt welcome, greeting us as saviours of their country. We were escorted to the historic Pontenazen barracks for a rest period of three days. These barracks were built by Napoleon and used by him as a prison camp. The walls and buildings stand well preserved and in good condition: There is a group, of five buildings of two-story structure of extra heavy timber, reinforced with brick and concrete, running back from a large court for about 300 feet much in Spanish style; around the court are smaller buildings used for officers. From here we took a three day's trip across France by train to a little village called Grandvillars in the alasco, Lorraine region about a mile from the northern border of Switzerland, where the Regiment went into training in the French methods of warfare. (To be continued next issue) Have you read "The Eugenic aspects of the Negro" published in Good Health Magazine for October, 1919? We will be pleased to have some girl's criticism on this article. speech delivered by Dr. W. H. Peters of Cincinnati to the women of that city interested in community health centers: "Let us not forget that the Negro is an American citizen, his demands for citizenship are the same as ours. The Negro cannot measure up to the expectancy if he is not in good health. He needs our sympathy, encouragement and co-operation and because of the pathological condition of his group special treatment. And those who are not inclined to be so generous, should remember that he is living with us, that the band of contact is close, that he transmits his disease to us and that every dollar spent for his welfare is a dollar spent for the health and protection of the white man." BY JOHN A. GRAY Those persons who were fortunate enough to hear the first concert of our new Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonic, had an opportunity of hearing Negro themes used as a basis for musical composition. The Symphony was the "New World" by Dvorak. This composition, while not using themes taken bodily from those of the race, is nevertheless so flavored and built in their idiom that the result is identical. The first movement with its dance-like rhythm, is decidedly African. The second theme of this movement is a slight variant of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and is introduced by the flute with string accompaniment. The second movement is a beautiful Largo, in 4-4 time. This plaintive melody is given to the English horn and is so beautiful that tears were brought to many eyes. Many patrons of the movies will recognize this melody as one that is played often during a pathetic scene. The third movement, a Scherzo, is an elaborate example of classic ragtime. The last movement, an Allegro Con Muoco in 4-4 time in E Minor, is tragic in its intensity. A great protest against wrongs. A tremendous resolve to fight for right until the bitter end. This Symphony was written in New York over 25 years ago when Dvorak was visiting this country. He wrote also a quartet and a quintet on Negro themes as an example of what could be done with this rich material. The possibility of success in this field is assured by the ever increasing popularity of this work. At last a promise of fulfillment! Ah Chone! Could she be so careless, so thoughtless, so stupid as to nip that promise in the bud—Why then did she do it? See, oh see him as he paces back and forth desperately despairing, his fists clenching, his teeth hard set. Half a foot straight from the scalp, on ends, his hair stands. His great black eyes, now encircled by red, flashes lightening signals of warning. Deep, down deep, into the inner-most depths she searched and from her lips escaped a prayer, "Oh Lord, help me to find it." Had the Managing Editor indeed stolen or picked up perchance the cover from the Lino Operator's upper lip? Or was it only that she, through a mistake, had thrown in some live matter. Well, anyway the Lino Operator still has the prized growth on the sald lip—a very necessary property for playing the star role in "Much ado about nothing." And when a Divine enters the shop, all respect due him and his calling are sought to be paid. Should gay Hilarity be making much of things, he is quickly shoved out of doors and Peace sweetly bidden to come from her hiding place. A reverend visited the shop this week. The Managing Editor teaches by example—oftimes. All graciously did she proffer him the strongest and most able of two charrs, unmindful of his smallness of stature. Then with her eyes fixed in his as though seeking some blessing for which she meantime smilingly implored, she simply thoughtlessly dropped her weary and heavy body onto the weaker chair—a makeshift. The Managing Editor fell from grace! Let us pray. And still he goes' North, South, East and West, a wonderful shield and protector, who could wish for more. Indeed! the President, has nothing on Mr. Simmons. It is more up-to-date besides, this substituting of the one for the many. Yet he is THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE so needed, so wanted, so longed for here, it is wondered—the Colonel. Couldn't substitute this substitute—the Editor. She has a name most generous: She has smiles most plentiful. A great big heart has she and did the Printer's Devil attempt to nick-name her into the Bean Family as he did her Predecessor? "Twold not be "String Bean," that is a certainty. The present Society Editor is capable of holding her own as is shown by the Society news column each week. FORUM NOTES (By Mrs. Walter L. Gordon) One of the most unique programs of this season was presented at the Forum; Sunday past by the Juvenile Order of The Household of Ruth under the guidance of Mrs. Minnie Bate. The children reflected credit not only upon the order but upon Mrs. Bate who is directly responsible for them. This coming Sunday, October 26th, Mr. Louis J. Tennette, a young Orleanian and one of our most promising young men and at present of the New Age staff, will be the chief inspiration of the program. The Black and Tan Orchestra will be present lending jest to the occasion; Mrs. Julia Wells Stanton, Reader, will also lend her support, besides several other talented young people. This program has been looked forward to with much enthusiasm by the public so that it is with genuine pleasure that it is announced for this Sunday. "Soldiering for Democracy," Louis J.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Dan Adams and little daughter of Los Angeles spent a few days in Santa Barbara last week attending to business interests, returning home Friday. Mrs. H. B. Thomas has been on the sick list, but is much improved at this writing. Those who were fortunate enough to attend Sunday's services at Mt. Olive Baptist Church heard Rev. H. B. Thomas at his best. The members of Mt. Olive Baptist Church presented to their pastor an overcoat and hat, showing their appreciation for the efficient service rendered them. Rev. H. B. Thomas will spend Sunday the 26th in San Diego being called to preach a sermon for the Rally to be held at Mt. Zion Baptist on that date. It is easy enough to criticize the news of Santa Barbara, but remember your write-up will be no more than you send in so get busy on the phone. 925-555-1234 Senate Sub-Committee, Appointed U.S. Congress Judiciary Committees Receive Delegation of National Equal Rights League With Petition for a Federal Anti-Lynch Law. Senators Dillingham, Kellogg and Walsh a Sub-Committee to Look into Constitutional Requirements. Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the U. S. Senate, and Representative Andrew Volstead, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives, both gave audiences this week to a delegation of the National Equal Rights League, headed by Mr. Mauride W. Spencer, of the District of Columbia, on the subject of a federal law against lynching. Mr. Spencer presented a petition which contained three telegrams from the Executive Headquarters in Boston to the Judiciary Committees, based on the Omaha, Alabama and Georgia outrages, asking the Committees to frame a bill to prevent and penalize lynchings, for passage at this session. Senator Nelson responded. He said that already, in answer to the telegraphic requests signed by President N. S. Taylor, Vice-President M. A. N. Shaw and Executive Secretary Troter, he had appointed a sub-committee to probe into the legal possibilities with a view to framing a law that might be constitutional.

THE JAPANESE. In the city of Los Angeles the Japanese have cornered the Fruit and Vegetable Market. In the State of California he has almost taken over the State's Agricultural Department. On the Pacific Coast he has become a menace to the extent that he has become a subject of great moment for college professors. Now, dear Colored Brother, if you want to emulate something or somebody, here is your chance. INDICT SIX MEN; TWO BOYS FOR RACE RIOT. Omoha, Oct. 22: Indictments charging murder in the first degree, conspiracy to commit murder, arson and rioting in connection with the race riot and subsequent lynching of Will Brown on Sunday, Sept. 28th, have been returned by the grand jury against six men and two boys. These are the first indictments against persons taking an active part in the riot and lynching. SHOOTING BUT NOT AT GAME. Mr. Louis Michel hit te key note when he says that agitation meetings with race interest at heart are useless unless both races are present. Now, we say that this is a timely suggestion; for when we attempt to devise ways and means to secure the treatment accorded other American citizens, unless there is some sort of a delegation of the other race present its like shooting in the air with no game in sight THE RIGHT CATCH As a child race we need to be careful as to the things we imitate. Of course the white man has been our one and only example as a civilized being, and since 1863 we have been busily engaged catching on to his religious, social, civic and economic method of progeedure. But the question we need to ask ourselves at this time is—Do we always catch the worth while? Sometimes our social aims are higher than our pocketbooks; we catch at the millionaire's idea and land in the pauper's realm. Our religious tendencies are also inched, to be somewhat one-sided and not very like the Christ whom we say we serve. Economically we have not as yet decided to become a factor. so it seems that we have been busy making the wrong catch. THE NEGRO PROBLEM. (London Morning Post, Eng.) The Negro problem is now unpleasantly to the fore again in the United States. Fifty years ago, when Charles Elliott Norton, the famous Harvard professor, was on a visit to this country, he hear the same question at a London dinner party. "Lord Russell," he relates, "quoted the best saying of Carlyle's which I have ever heard. The difference between the North and the South in relation to the Negro is just this: "The Souht says to the Negro, "God Bless! and be a slave," and the North says, "God damn you! and be free." CRIME NOT TO BE DESIRED. We believe that our men should always stand up for their rights. We preach the doctrine of manhood rights for all mankind, but we have always been proud of the fact that we have not the record of having produced criminals of the meanest type; hence it is very sad for us to think at this time that the men who murdered a conductor on the Watts Local line about a month ago were colored. However, we are quite sure that the cause may be easily traced back to the treatment accorded our people on many of the lines by white conductors, who come from a section where Negroes are jimcrowed, and whose minds are so contaminated by the poisonous atmosphere of prejudice in which they have lived for so many years that it is almost impossible for them to embrace a higher and more democratic civilization. DISAPPOINTED. During the period of the war, Negroes bought Liberty Bonds, worked in Liberty Loan Drives, Negro newspapers were called upon to do their part. There were Negro women Red Cross Workers who worked tirelessly for the boys over there. The slogan was Democracy, and the Negro thought that at last the light for him was breaking. When the call came that he was wanted at the front he picked up his gun and farley ran, and in France he did his duty, and when the war was over came home with the firm belief that he would be amply rewarded. But it seems that while the Negro was helping to drive back the Hun the Southern red necks were figuring how to make his lot in his native home more unpleasant, and since the Negro Soldier has returned from France, Southern Huns have been fiendish in their attacks upon him. ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE We have come to a turn in the road of our destiny. The waves of justice have not yet washed the hearts of our enemies. We are no longer wards of the U.S. Government. The Freedmen's Bureau has been abolished and we find ourselves tossed upon the turbulent, heaving billows of life, where the fittest survive. No people without financial backing can demand attention. The world believes what you do by what you have. The Jew is banker of the world. The Japanese have terrified the Pacific Coast by their thrift and economic progress. The Negro stands a power sometimes individually but weak collectively. The world now faces a new day. The World War has ushered in a period of reconstruction. Nations and peoples with changed ideas are fighting as never before to hold their places and plant their stakes deeper. Lower California, rich, healthy and alluring, calls for tillers of the soil. Independence stands with open arms beckoning to those who possess the courage to do and dare. The spirit of America at present is perilous. While beneath there is a growing spirit of brotherhood, it is now stiffed by the onslaughts of prejudice. The re-action brought on by the World Conflict calls upon the Negro to strike while the iron is red. With vision, courage and determination let us lock arms with opportunity and live lives happy and fruitful.

Robeson has returned to his home in the States where he will again take up his work as Minister of the Gospel. Coming to Los Angeles to attend the Annual Conference of the Church, Rev. Robeson has been asked to appear on several occasions to address audiences which are anxious to hear his message. On last Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Rev. Robeson spoke, using as his subject: "Hell, Heaven or Democracy." He described his experience in the United States Army in France in a way that invited the attention of persons who have heard more than they were wont to digest concerning the treatment of Black Soldiers in the Army. Rev. Robeson has come back to tell the truth, and in eloquent language that at times arouses the greatest enthusiasm last Tuesday evening; he told the story of how the White American carried his prejudice into the trenches, and tried to train the French to believe that the Negro even though he could fight was his inferior in every way, and not fit for society. But the Negro who went to France to fight for Democracy has come back to fight again with propaganda, et cetera, which he helped to win. Rev. Robeson not only represents the new type of Colored American, but a new style of oratory, which places him in a class with the greatest among the great. MUST MAKE UNITED EFFORT. (Continued from Page One) All the foreign language papers and also the native language papers, all the men and women that hold free lance opinions and are not forced to keep their mouths shut and their hearts closed, should be found and invited to these mass meetings. Fearless, but tactful men and women should lead, easy tripping opportunists that kiss the foes hands, should keep their peace. Mon like the abolitionist type should plead the cause, orators that speak only for their personal safety, cannot do any perceptible good to this universal movement. The propaganda for the Negro must be carried out among both the Negro and the white man; any other propaganda is indeed untimely, erroneous and entirely ineffective. The Nation's heart must be stirred and turned over, not by black men and women alone, but with faithful loyal white co-operation, as I claim that we have more white friends than white foes, but these white friends are sleeping and need waking up.

SERMONETTE BY ELLEN CONSUELO PROWG There are men and women today who launch out in life with an object in view, somehow or other they do not reach the goal they intended to and have become discouraged and are drifting down with the tide. They feel that life holds nothing more for them. Cheer up and look to our Heavenly father for just behind the dark clouds there lies the silver lining. The thought that ought to impress us most is, when we take a journey across the ocean and going into port the first thing the captain looks for is the little lighthouse. This shows to him the way he is to steer the vessel for the harbor. Then miles out into the ocean comes the pilot, he dares not move his vessel until the pilot takes charge. And as this is the case how much more should we in this world look out for every lighthouse so that we may be able to steer straight, for at the end of our journey there will be the pilot to usher us in with these words, "Well-done-thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things I will make thee ruler over many." Has it ever occurred to you what will be the outcome of the vessel which goes into port without a light? Surely there could be nothing else than a shattering of every vessel without the light. When we take all these thoughts into consideration what manner of people we ought to be. Those of us who have failed to steer straight for the lighthouse should be warnings for those who are coming behind. Have you ever stopped to think of the dark corners? First of all a man will take himself into a gambling room, and in one night will dash a fortune away, where he wouldn't think seriously of giving even a dollar to a just cause. There was a man whose dark corner was the saloon and the card table. His father strove hard to leave him property and an immense lot of stock... besides his great wealth in the bank; and with a prodigal's hand he, within less than a year became a pauper. He would go day after day in tattered garments and stand by the roadside of his same property and with his head lifted up to the skies mourn his loss he so foolishly fung away. Men and women who are enjoying pleasure, taking bitter for sweet, beware! There will come a time of reckoning, how will we fare? The second dark corner is Society, which is as hollow as a drum; we all know the sound of a drum. They will hardly have sufficient to sustain life, and here they are giving their big balls, dancing all night on the floor up to the Sunday morning that God has given us to rest. How do you expect then to see the lighthouse, to be able to steer straight as examples for your children? Do you mothers who are fooling with society ever teach your children character building? Do you gather them around you with the Bible and read as well as explain the beauty of God's Word? Then if you do you will have no regrets knowing you have done your full duty towards them in trying to make them a blessing to the world. The third dark corner is the ill example of the older men who are such inveterate smokers that surely they are no examples for the little boys. It paines my heart to see the little boys on the streets who are trying to ape men before they are even boys. Perfect that life, like every other Read what Romans has to say on this. Romans 14:2—Did the Master mean flesh? No! anything that would cause your brother to stumble you have no right to do. When you come to think that all men may not be as strong as you are to abstain. The fourth dark corner—There are young women who for the love of dress are not satisfied with the simple and beautiful things of life, but permit themselves to be dragged down to the lowest depth by the entitlement of villainous and angledly men who never enter a church who never think a good thought, but who go around just like the roaring lions seeking whom they may destroy. Let me say to them men as Godfrey said in his "Garden of Life." Beautiful thoughts make beautiful YOUR BEST FRIEND IS MONEY IN BANK The Way to Save Money is Not to Spend It. Put it aside.

A splendid program including music and some of the most prominent men of the city, has been arranged. The public is invited to attend. NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION remarks, and gave numerous evidences of fairness concerning our people. The Rev. Joseph Toomey on behalf of The White Baptists, an Irish brother, held the audience spell-bound with his jokes, and facts about white and colored people—yet he made the greatest speech of all. On behalf of The Colored Baptists the Rev. J. U. Love gave a most telling address, followed by the Rev. B. Ellerion, who spoke on behalf of The Denomination. The Response was by the Rev. S. N. Vass of North Carolina. Morris and Boyd Facton. One of the main points of interest to our people is that of knowing just how this matter stands—Which is the Convention? Well, it is not what Morris nor Boyd says, but what the Courts say, and this is what comes from the two Courts before which the case has gone. First, the Morris wing is the National Baptist Convention; Second, that Boyd is still under that Board and must make report to that Board; Third, that he must not waste or in any way manner depreciate the holdings pending his accounting; Fourth, Boyd Convention is by the Courts designated, A Rump Convention. Dr. Boyd has appealed and the matter is yet to be finally settled by The Supreme Court. The White Baptists of The South have taken one of its leading Ministers from his church and placed him in charge of the work of collecting funds for the building of a Baptist Theological Seminary for Colored Ministers of our Denomination. The sum aimed at is a half million dollars from the white people. While many places are named and every Southern State is most desirous that the Institution be located in that State, yet there is no telling, just now, where it will be located; it will, however, be in the South. Justice to the Negro. Bishop Thirkiel of The M. E. Church (white) presented to, and had the endorsement by the Convention of, the most carefully worded and forceful addresses on equal Rights in every particular for the Negro. This was the best thing that really came before the Convention from outside. Dr. Thirkiel was at his best; and was most sincere in his stand and effort. The main feature of this remarkable document was the demand that Lynching be stopped. The paper was prepared by Dr. Thirkiel to go before The Federation of Evangelical Churches of America; to be forwarded to Congress. Report of Boards. Great commendation is due Auditor M. M. Rogers, Dallas, Texas, who followed the reports of the various Boards with his annual report on the actual condition of the work and standing of these Boards. Every Baptist should get one of Mr. Rodgers' report and see for himself how things are. I shall be 'only too glad to order the Report for those desiring it at individual request.

It was indeed solemn and yet joyful to see so many real African boys and girls who were brought here, educated, and who are now going back to help evangelize Africa. The earnest remarks of these Missionaries and those of the New Missionaries going forth, were most touching and the audience wept as they spoke. The impression of that service will not fade away. H. DARIUS PROWD try tough especially when we can't discern our names on the roll. repeat, "Don't rock the boat." We are sending back a new Negro. Men who know what they want, are determined to get it, and possessors of a courage, death itself cannot disturb. On the other hand, we are sending back dyed-in-the-wool molly coodles who never knew, and don't care what pure Americanism is, determined to prove that America is not France, and in a crazy fervor will court death to do it. This is a problem demanding the sincere attention, of both races, and seems to be getting it. There must be and there is, a sensible solution to this as all other problems, a greater zeal. Dr. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton University delivered a course of lectures in Paris, sometime ago on the Spirit of America, in which he says, "The equality which is asserted among men, refers simply to the rights which are common to men, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Here government must make no distinctions, no exceptions. Here the social order must impose no arbitrary and unequal deprivations and barriers. The life of all is equally sacred; the liberty of all must be equally secure, in order that the right of all to pursue happiness may be equally open." She means to give equal civil rights to her Negroes. She does not mean to let the black blood mix with white. Whatever social divisions may be necessary to prevent this immense and formidable adulteration must be maintained in tact." This is alright only he looks thru green eyeglasses. If he were as particular in keeping the white blood from mixing with the black, we would be much nearer a solution.—We have no desire to jump any barrier, we love and respect our own women, and are perfectly satisfied with them. It is simply that as long as our rights are abridged in one particular, they will be in more. The world today is literally on fire; its foundations are trembling. Men and nations are still at odds.9 The League of nations hailed as a safe guard against war, runs a gauntlet of criticism intensified as the hours pass. These things must needs be. Only when the dazzling sun of Justice burns the clinging moss of oppression; only when the dam of deceit is knocked down and the cleansing waters of truth allowed to flow, will things right themselves. We hear much of Japan's robbery of Shantung, but why was it allowed? Because Japan insisted on an amendment which prohibited any discrimination on account of race or color; giving all a chance to taste democracy. Rather than do that, the robbery was sanctioned. The League of Nattons may be ratified, and I hope it will, but until it recognizes all men as brothers, it is doomed to failure. The time has come for America to cease side-stepping the issue. It can send punitive expeditions into Mexico where two Americans are held for ransom, but it never sends any expeditions into Georgia when American citizens are subjected to indignities which make even Germany wince—Because Germany looked upon true THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE THE BAR The only race establishment on the Pacific Coast where you may be fitted up in anything made from HAIR and secure the most fastidious costume for Masquerade Balls, Tacky Parties, or Colonial Dances: 952-54 Central Avenue Phone Pico 1698 Mme.

"We must make the world safe for democracy." We must face facts, not opinions; we must respect the dictums of right, not the aberrations of prejudice. Our concern now is democracy. We want America to give us a square deal, a chance to work out our destiny without fear or favor. We have helped to save Europe, we would now save the land we love. The thunder has roared, the lightning has flashed, but the receiving forrents are yet to fall. A crusade is ours to wage, one that challenges the best that is in us. With confidence in God, faith in ourselves and our cause, let us push on up the hill of progress ever singing as we climb, "Right is right, since God is God." We fought no sham battle and we will have no sham democracy. There was no color line in the trenches, we want no color line here. If we were good enough to uphold the prestige and honor of Old Glory in the time of war, we are good enough to be upheld by Old Glory in the time of peace. We have fought upon a foreign battlefield for the sake of others and buried our dead beneath the foreign soil. By the great Jehvah we will fight our own battles at home, and if necessary, bury our dead beneath America's upturned soe. Placing our grievances under our feet, we rattled the gates of Berlin, we will now place them on the flagpole of American democracy and make the White House tremble.

HAPPY CHAPLAIN AND CHARMING WIFE ENJOYING BELATED HONEYMOON IN OUR CITY. Los Angeles is honored this week with the presence of First Lieutenant Chaplain B. C. Robeson and wite, who are taking their real honeymoon tour after many months of separation. Rev. Robeson, former pastor of Zion A. M. F. Church, this city, was one of the brave sons of Uncle Sams who answered his country's call about two years ago. Leaving this city and a host of friends, Rev. Robeson journeyed to Camp Taylor in Kentucky and entered the Officer's training school. While in training he received word of the death of his father, but an every cloud has a silver lining, amid all of his sorrow he had one thought to cheer him and that was the secret Dan Cupid held and a charming petite maiden left in Los Angeles, wearing a diamond Solitaire on her finger. After completing his training and receiving his shoulder bars, he received orders to prepare to leave for France. In a few hours a telegram was delivered to Miss Margaret Cline in this city, who was visiting her sister, to come home immediately. Miss Cline left for her home in Ashville, North Carolina and there in the beautiful home or her parents she and Lieut. Robeson were made one and Dannie Cupid left for new fields. They were married on June 8, 1913 and the Lieutenant immediately sailed for France. So these are their Miss Cline is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Cline, one of the oldest and most respected families of Ashville; she is graduate of the public and denominational school of her home city. Lieut. and Mrs. Robeson are house guests of Mrs. Harriet James, 1104 E. Washington Street. FOR RENT: One neatly furnished room with modern conveniences and home privileges. Telephone 72476.
