THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Forum Celebrates Lincoln-Douglass Anniversay, Sunday Central Avenue Is Alright PHONE 150-44 VOL. 36 Forum Cent ABRAHAM LINCOLN In the Kindergarten—The Grammar School-The High School—The Uni- versity. Once every yearth the mind of this nation turns Lincolnward. Persons distinguished in private, business and social life pause to pay homage to the sacred memory of the man who gave this life in defense of what he believed was just and right. Wrapped in the swaddling garments of martyrdom, vested in robes of National honor, embalmed in the bitterness of a nation's tears, the human side of his life was brought to a close. Cessation from the great political paradox of human slavery, closing one of the most eventful epochs in the history of the world, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the man, the mortal, was laid to rest; we say, to rest, but not so; those struggling and deeply injured spirits can find no rest unless and until there shall have been a complete vindication of the causes which brought about his assassination. Though he were dead yet shall he live again. The body was offered as a burnt sacrifice upon humanity's altar in proof of those principles which he had enunciated ever since reason had seized his imagination and JUSTICE claimed him as her HIGH PRIEST and PROPHET WHY SEEK WE THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD? If a man dies shall he live again? Though his body has been interred, his bones dismembered, his hair, waving and long, lost every resuscitation to human hair, those eyes that once penetrated the depths of human iniquity, that hand that signed the EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION, entered into combination with the common fertilizers of earth to enrich the plains whereon his comrades fought, bled and died in response to his call "to arms," still his spirit, ever trumphant, pervades today every mook and corner of American history and becomes the key-note of impending woes and dangers. Years reduced to days, days to hours, hours to minutes it is safe to say that hardly one minute passes without someone's having whispered the name of LINCOLN. In the kindergartens little children learn to lisp his name. They are unable to associate with it the wonderful life, the deeds of heroism and valor, the personal sacrifices, the self-abnegation that entered into and mixed in such proportion as to enable him to round out a life, though blighted by a stroke of political provocation, was, nevertheless, most agreeable to him and his CREATOR. Thus from the cradle to the grave little children and ripe old age shall learn to reverence LINCOLN because of his greatness. Boys and girls of the Grammar schools look forward to the twelfth of February as the day set aside by the Nation for the observance of LINCOLN'S birthday without taking into consideration the real significance of the occasion. The importance of such events does not always reach the mature mind. In order to understand these feelings one must be able to penetrate the veil that divides theral from the unreal, the true from thefalse, the temporal from the eternal,a searching out of causes which makemen choose rather to die than disavow their principles or submit to the wrong when they diametrically opposeit. The immediate and transitory effects are all that can be registered,understood by the academic abstract.Many mature minds are lost in historic reflection when trying to divine the inconceivable consciousness ofLINCOLN. Reading, writing and arithmetic belong to the academy. High School students are possessed with unusual fervor for hero worship. Patriotism takes an early hold upon them. We behold them discarding the blouse and kilts of childish speculation that they may don the breeches of a higher intellectuality. How happy they are when they can spread the ideas of Byron, Bacon, Shelly, Homer, Shakespeare, Virgil and Dante over quires of dropsal hexameters and flatulent alcalques. They have been taught that constant application to a set of studies as outlined by the cornicula of his school will fit and prepare him for the great struggle that is to ensue; thus, void of the necessary reflection and calculation, they are thrown broadside into the arena of life. Herein he is confronted with problems as interminable as the process of EVOLUTION itself. The axioms of Algebra, the theorems of Geometry, the idioms of Language, the Philosophy of Life become the working tools of his profession. By their use he masters the arts and sciences of life; builds great empires; formulates creeds and doctrines; converts the world into a speaking gallery; changes the course of rivers; mounts interposed between nations be (Continued on page 10.) WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH CENTRAL AVE? In public and in private, on the highway, in the pulpit, and in spreading headlines across the big dales, shirts are cast, at the slightest excuse upon Central Avenue. Every dog light, any sort of untoward happening that occurs within a radius of twelve blocks of Central Avenue, is played up to take place ON Central Avenue! Central Avenue Is All Right Right here and now we hurl these charges back into the teeth of those who would disparage us, and we are prepared to say it all up one side and down the other, that Central Avenue is just as clean and orderly as any other district of our city which happened to be traversed by a business thoroughfare. Certain it is that more constructive work along business lines among our group is going forward on Central Avenue, than there is elsewhere in the entire state, among our people. It is out Central Avenue way that the ambitious man catches the inspiration to do business, and capital is constantly attracted to this busy mart. Out Central Avenue way one sees the busy printing press in action, and hears the hum of liniotype machines, operated on 24-hour shifts. One sees prosperous and handsomely appointed stores and shops, huge garages teeming with activity, busy tire and accessory establishments, eating houses de luxe; in short, evidence of economic progress and success in endless variety. Proof of the Pudding in the Eating. In legitimate commercial enterprises the territory on Central Ave. from 8th Street south to 14th Street, the monthly volume of business done is conservatively estimated at $100,000 or one million two hundred thousand dollars per year. This is not only a conservative, but a low estimate of the business done by the following firms and persons: Harris and Carr, $23 Central Avenue; Baumann's Drug Store; Independent Rubber Company; Mrs. Minor.

Now, these lines will beyond per adventure silence the critics of Central Avenue. The only way to squelch the knockers is to DEMONSTRATE—and the above array of facts and figures should hold them for evermore. On Central Avenue, the people are attending to business, and its citizenship stands without a peer, always alert to do the things worth while, closing their eyes and ears to knockers, and heeding only the clarion tones of those who boost. ROYAL BIRTH IN LOS ANGELES ROYAL BIRTH IN LOS ANGELES There was born this week in the City of Los Angeles at 749 Ceres Avenue in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Johnson, A New Baptist Church. At the head of the New Organization is the Rev. Dr. Henry Darius Prowd, a man of learning and experience in Baptist Doctrine, Polity, and Practice. Dr. Prowd has been the Founder of two Baptist Churches, and the Builder of Five regular Baptist Churches. One of these Churches is A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA FEBRUARY 10, 1923 located on Mound Street in Cincinnati, Ohio. This was the first Colored Church in that City built from the ground throughout, and thoroughly equipped with every thing new, and with a new Pipe Organ. To this day the people of Cincinnati regard with just pride the landable and successful effort of Dr. Prowd. Dr. Prowd, as a citizen, has identified himself with every sane and safe object looking to the advancement of his Colored brethren—especially his denomination for which he has made many sacrifices—yet on the other hand his heart embraces follow Christians of other denominations. And in this particular he can truly say, "The World is my Parish." Dr. Prowd is a 32nd Degree Mason and hails from St. John's No. 3 of Cincinnati. He is also a Pythian, and an Odd Fellow, and connected also with The Heroine of Jerico, and The Good Samaritan. He is a Christian, and lover of his fellow man. This new movement grows out of the great need of additional Spiritual provision for the abundance of our people who are literally pouring into Los Angeles from all parts of the country. And Dr. Prowd acceding to the requests of a great number of Church, and non Church people has started out trusting in JESUS CHRIST—the GREAT HEAD OF THE CHURCH—and inviting the sympathy and assistance of the good people of Los Angeles to his aid. The Church will have Temporary Quarters in The Y. M. C. A. on Ninth Street Corner of Hemlock. Services will begin there this Sunday, at 11:00 a. m. Subject: THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD. Sunday School from 1:00 to 2:00 p. m. Divine Service 2:00 till 3:00 p. m. sharp. Song and Praise Service from 7:00 to 8:00 p. m. Divine service from 8:00 to 9:00 p. m. IMPORTANT—The Name of this Church will be announced at each of the services on Sunday. And every person attending will receive a token of remembrance of its opening. Please come on time. FLIES ALL OVER EUROPE MAKES' DEMONSTRATIONS IN NEW YORK AND CHICAGO---MEETS WWATERLOO IN CALIFORNIA FREDERICK DOUGLASS----THE BRONZE FREDERICK DOUGLASS The Bronze Knight of 1841 FALL LAID TO DEFECTIVE PLANE By Dora L. Mitchell. Just after start- ing from Santa Monica for Palomar Park, where she was scheduled to give ex- hibition flights on Sunday afternoon, February 4th, Miss Coleman's plane fell a distance of some hundreds of feet to the ground, and she was seriously in- jured. She was car- ried at once to St. Catherine's Hospital, Santa Monica, where it was found she had 10 THE EDITOR sustained a broken leg, three fractured ribs, brushes and painful cuts about the eyes and chin. Miss Coleman's plane was completely wrecked, and it has not been learned for a certainty just what caused the accident. The machine however, was one purchased by the aviatrix since her recent arrival in California; her own plane, which she used in Europe, is in Chicago. Just how "game" the little aviatrix was to the last, was evinced by the fact that while en route to the hospital, she dispatched a verbal message to her field-manager, Mrs. Bass, to the effect that she would "be on later"—that is, as sooft as she could be patched up—a plan which was, needless to say, wisely frustrated by the hospital authorities. The crowd that had assembled at Palomar Park to see Miss Coleman was keenly disappointed by her non-appearance, the real reason for which, unfortunately, was not learned until late Sunday night, too late to controvert the wild rumors that threw flying from tongue to tongue. And it is with shame for our own people that we must say that the general tenor of these rumors and expressions of opinion was such as to (Continued on page 10.) $2.00 THE YEAR NO. 47 Sunday ight COLORED WHITE CASH AND SUPREMACY PETER H. A. B. We have constantly stressed the importance of economic relationships. We have repeated the statement of Alexander Hamilton: The power over a man's subsistence is the power over his will. The American Unity League, an anti-Ku Klux Klan organization composed of Jews, Catholics and Negroes, has been securing the names of all business men in Chicago, Cleveland and several other large cities and then publishing those names to the public. The result was a run upon one Chicago bank—a run so disastrous that the board of directors of the bank had to require the Klansman member to resign in order to save the institution. The Unity League also charged that Mr. Wrigley (of Wrigley chewing gum fame) was a member of the Klan, whereupon the boycotting of the Wrigley chewing gum became a menace. In New York the Friends of Negro Freedom learned unofficially that the Klansmen were alleged to be meeting at the home of Mr. A. Edward Wupperman of Angostura Bitters fame, immediately we heralded the news urging Negroes not to buy anything touched by Klan influence. One of our representatives was called in by the Angostura Bitters Corporation. It is a tremendous drug 'syndicate, rich and powerful. Yet the president, treasurer, secretary and the chief officials presented themselves and spared no pains in protecting their innocence of Ku Klux connections. They not only explained but had waiting for our representative when he arrived the following sworn statement which speaks for itself: "ANGOSTURA BITTERS" "The January Messenger published an editorial which seemingly connected "ANGOSTURA BITTERS" with the Klu Kux Klan. This was unfortunate. I take this opportunity to emphatically affirm that "ANGOSTURA BITTERS" is in no way connected with the Klan, and that it is still the best medicine of its kind. "I have a colored cook who has been with me for eight years, and a colored chauffeur drove my car all summer and fall. I have given the preference to colored people whenever possible and have contributed money to their organizations. I will furnish absolute proof of the truth of my statements to any one who will take the trouble to call at my office. "I do this also to relieve Hon. Geo. W. Harris and Mr. Sol Butler of any embarrassment which the editorial might have caused them." (SIGNED) A. EDWARD WUPPER- MAN. 12 East 46th Street. New York." Here is a clear case of Negro cash pitted against white supremacy. Men's hates of somebody else are seldom as great as their love for money and wealth. This company does not hate Negroes less but it loves Negroes money more. We want Negroes to keep in mind the tremendous force of their economic power. Spend your money with your friends; boycott your enemies—even your supposed enemies until they explain their position. And you can bet your life that in nearly every instance colored cash will triumph over white supremacy... Mrs. Myrtle Mussendem of 1518 E. 22 Street is improving from an attack of illness. Mr. George Malone passed away Tuesday at the Norwalk Sanitarium, Norwalk California. Mr. Malone was badly beaten up at the time of his demise. He had been an inmate of this institution for about six months. It is asserted that the bruised condition of Mr. Malone's body at the time of his death was due to a battle between Malone and one of the inmates. The funeral was held from the Bethel Church of Christ Monday. Rev. Wm. Washington officiating. Mr. Malone leaves a widow, Mrs. Annie Malone of E. 39th Street.

H. D. PROWD BESSIE COLEMAN, GIRL FLYER MEETS WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENT (Continued from page one) indicate a most deplorable derth of chivalry among our men and an utter lack of womenly feeling and sympathy among those of Miss Coleman's own sex. In short, Miss Coleman and her managers were loudly accused (and even abused) for promoting a "bunc game" and the later were assailed by clamorous, and even insulting, demands for a refund of admission money then and there. In other words, a brave little Race girl was condemned without a hearing while she lay on a bed of pain, unable to even send a message that would have cleared the situation—although, such message would doubtless have been received with sneers and incredulity. In this connection, we might add, by way of appropriately capping the climax, that certain people, on Sunday night, when announcement of the accident was made at various places, declared this poor girl's cruel injuries to be a punishment from on high for the sin of attempting to fly on Sunday—a declaration of sentiment not only un-Christian and inhuman, but positively childish! ABRAHAM LINCOLN come as specters in a river's mist; and nations shake hands across the seas; and notwithstanding all that DESTINY, like Tennyson's "little brook," goes on for ever. He finds that he just as impotently moves as the molecule that dances at the behest of a sunbeam. Hence, the High School student learns that there are laws that outrun those of Chemistry, Physics or Trigonometry. The infinite relation of these laws becomes man's imperfect apprehension of the ordination of DESTINY. Eac year sees thousands of men and women issuing from Universities. They, too, have a reverence for LINCOLN. They can attribute to him more motives in a single minute than could be recorded by an expert stenographer in a fortnight. Because they can weigh the problems suggested concerning Light, Heat, Electricity, Magnetism, Physiology and Geology; because they know when these sciences were discovered they profess a natural right to declare when they are likely to be exhausted. DESTINY plays no part with them. Everything is a scientific fact. Though the mind calmly, genially apprehends one after another the physical laws it trembles when ushered into the counsel of the CREATION. Moreover, there is a secret behind human WILL. Passing from the time of the child's successive possession of his five son ses up to the time, when he thinketh as a man, speaketh as a man, saying, "Not my will, but thine," he is learning the secret and thereby is enabled to conform all facts to his knowledge of material things. SO IT WAS WITH LINCOLN..... DESTINY was looking for a MAN. There was a problem to be solved. Two factors were involved. To denounce one and establish the other would have proved inconsistent with the life of both. An intersion of terms would lend no prospect of solution! The exponent of LIBERTY as a MONOMIAL must prove his philosophy by his willingness to die for the propagation of his faith, his ideals. And LINCOLN died to prove the truthfulness of his declaration, that "NO NATION CAN HOPE TO EXIST HALF FREE AND HALF 'SLAVE.' Because he died millions have been benefitted thereby, receiving their rightful share of the ransom made possible by the martyrdom of the world's greatest STATESMAN—'ABRAHAM LINCOLN. By H.

COLORED PHYSICIANS OVERCOME HAND- DICAP JUST WILL HAVE HOSPITAL Undaunted by obstacles, that have heretofore held them back, a trio of our most prominent and progressive physicians and surgeons now announce the erection of a thoroughly modern and up-to-date hospital on East 15th Street, between Central and Hooper Avenue. This enterprise is promoted and fostered by Doctors J. T. Whitaker, R. S. Whitaker, and Charles S. Diggs. Dr. J. T. Whitaker and Dr. C. S. Diggs, with Dr. Frank Gordon, were associated together in the promotion of the Dunbarn Hospital, but were denied the opportunity to develop the enterprise by the zoning ordinance. Dr. R. S. Whittaker is a brother to Dr. J. T. Whittaker; both are now engaged in the practice of their profession in Pasadena. Dr. Diggs has offices in Los Angeles. Dr. J. T. Whittaker has had a rich and varied experience in medicine and surgery, and gained considerable fame in the Middle West and East. He also saw service in the army in the Spanish American and in the World War! Since coming to California has has made wonderful strides, and is especially lauded for his skill in surgery. Likewise, his brother, Dr. R. S. Whittaker has followed in his steps, and is one of the leading physicians and surgeons of this day. Dr. C. S. Diggs, before coming to California, was recognized as one of the leaders of his profession in the South; since establishing himself here, he has not only maintained his high reputation, but has added to his medical laurels. The new hospital is now in course of construction, and the doors will be thrown open to the public on or about April 1, 1923. While the above doctors are its promoters, its facilities will be at the disposition of all reputable physicians. In connection with the hospital, there will be a nurse training school. In addition to the hospital staff of physicians, there will be six nurses in the institution. The dimensions of the building will be 36 x 70, with sixteen rooms, and accommodations for from 25 to 30 patients. Without doubt, the people of Los Angeles will show their appreciation of this great forward step, by sustaining this new institution to the utmost, in order that it may at last mark the beginning of what will prove to be one of the greatest establishments of its kind in the entire country. PRICE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH SUNDAY NIGHT, FEB. 11. ATTORNEY W. O. TYLER TO DELIVER ORATION 1 The birthday of Joseph Charles Price, foremost race orator and educator of his time, will be celebrated at the First A. M. E. Zion Church, corner of Pico and Paloma Streets, Sunday Night, February 11th, with an elaborate program. Attorney Willis O. Tyler, matchless orator of the West, will be the speaker. The music, under the direction of Prof. Wm. M. Bynum, will be especially fine, featured with choruses, vocal and instrumental solos by prominent musicians of Los Angeles. The Price Memorial is an annual occasion in Zion Churches everywhere which lays emphasis upon educational progress of the race as promoted by the Church. Dr. Price was the founder of Livingstone College, the principal institution of the Zion Connection, and was the apostle of higher education for the Colored race. The exercises will begin Sunday evening at 8:00 o'clock. The public is invited to attend. URSULINE BANNISTER SHAW RECITAL GGREAT SUCCESS. MRS. SHAW WINS HIGH PRAISE AS DRAMATIC READER. Ursuline Bannister Shaw captivated the large audience that gathered at the First A. M. E. Zion Church last Friday night to witness her initial recital in Los Angeles as a dramatic reader. Mrs. Shaw presented a program of an unusually high character. Her repertoire offers plenty of variety and is well adapted to her splendid talmets. Indeed, the versatility which Mrs. Shaw displayed was especially striking. It easily eliminated any possibility of lagging interest on the part of the audience. Whether in light or serious vein, delineating Roman tragedy or Dunbar's lyrics, Mrs. Shaw gave convincing evidence of her gifts and training in the art of elocution. The musical numbers of the pro gram are also deserving of high praise. Miss Ethel Billups and Mrs Bertha Spurill were heard in soprano solos, beautifully sung. Mr. Malcolm Patton, the popular baratone, sang "Just You" with such thrilling effect upon the audience that he was repeatedly enced. Professor Bynum's Choir sang well up to its reputation, and Miss Hazel Gottschalk's piano selection was delightfully received. Black and Tan! Where? Blanchard Hall! When?

Beeks, Mrs. Roller of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Perkins of Minneapolis, Mrs. and Miss Linson of Seattle—formed with the hostess the receiving line and during every moment of the allotted time, a continuous stream of hapy friends was in evidence to enjoy the wonderful hospitality of Madam Blackshear. Among the visitors were Mrs. Helena Trice of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Garfield W. Lee of Pittsburg, Mrs. Thomas Bransom, Pittsburg, and Miss Anna B. Faulkner of Columbus, Ohio.

Erickson, popular drug clerk in the employ of the Watters Drug, Store corner of Wall and 5th Streets. Mr Erickson has been in the employ of this well known establishment for a number of years and by his courtesy and close application to business has made a host of friends for the establishment among whom are many race men and women. COMMUNITY CENTER During this era of slumbering Christian consciousness it is indeed a source of deep and profound gratification to note the great work of real uplift being performed by Bishop Johnson and his church in the Eastern side of the City of Los Angeles at the Neighborhood Community Center. One has but to pay a visit to this active center to observe the boiling of the "melting pot." Ninth and Wilson streets have long been the scene of active settlement work by this great and good organization, but the work in former years seemed of slow growth. Today however finds the various departments enlarged and crowded to their full capacity and administering to the health, care, and comfort of the homogeneous population of which the East Side is composed. Words are inadquate to express the true significance of this great work at this particular period of our country's history. We fear that the public generally is somewhat tardy in recognizing the permanent good accomplished by this truly Christian organization. Bishop Johnson and his co-workers certainly have the key to our municipal problems. It is indeed to be neglected that denominational lines cannot be so thoroughly obliterated that all desiring the peace and happiness of the community and the permanency of our government. could not unite in one harmonious effort for the uplift of the needy masses. Long live this grand organization to push to a successful consummation the great work at hand. May the good sisters who have the brunt of constant and immediate contact with those seemingly insolvable problems of race and religion have strength and patience for each day's trials. PETER H. BURKE The above is a good likeness of Charles Robinson, formerly of Georgia. Mr. Robinson is one of the few members of our race who has not felt the weight of his years, being 80 years of age and still working daily for the support of himself and wife. Mr. Robinson readily encourages every effort looking towards race advancement and is indeed a most substantial race man.

He his with him as helpers Sister Carrie Scott, of Texas, and Sister Pearl Hogans, of California, with a long line of workers, all of whom are doing their part to build up the kingdom of Christ in Watts. Let us all pray for the work. "JACK" SHIELDS One of the largest and most successful business enterprises conducted by members of our group is the New and Second hand furniture business conducted by J. Shields, familiarly known as Jack Shields, at 21 W. Main Street. Mr. Shields has built up an extensive business by a strict application to business principles and this well conducted establishment is a high reflection of his business sagacity. With a few more enterprises conducted along these lines our place in the business world would be fairly won. C. C. LEAKE No race man has kept in closet touch with the industrial development of Watts and immediate vicinity than the above named. Mr. Leake might be classed as one of the pioneer cynity coming here from Furlong business men of our group in this viTract. Los Angeles, some 15 years ago, when all of our race industries were in their infancy. His steady efforts and careful movements along business lines have given to this section the Beautiful Leake's Lake and its environs, an ideal summer resort, enjoy their summer outings. Mr. where the residents for miles around Leake keenly alive to business and commercial interests of the race and the community in general and keeps in close touch with those who are seeking to make Watts a modern, up-to-date municipality. Mr. Leake co-operates willingly with every movement which has for its object the permanent development of Watts as a commercial and residential section. The state has placed a valuation of $20,000 upon the fish breeding business as conducted by Mr. Leake in his fast growing enterprise. COCHRAN'S CASH AND CARRY GROCERY Among the successful business firms conducted by members of our group, is the above well-known firm, Mr. and Mrs. Cochran are business people in the truest sense of the trum and have a vision of a cooperative mercantile establishment conducted by members of our race. They are a pronounced success in their business as their successful establishment at 918 South Compton Avenue can attest. If the desires of the Cochran's can be accomplished, the day is not for distant when Watts will have a race enterprise which is an absolute necessity. MONTGOMERY AND HOUCHINS Among the worthy business ventures by race women is the above named firm. These enterprising race women are carrying a line of Dry Goods and Notions which clearly indicate a knowledge of the needs of our race. They should be encouraged, every member of the race should feel it his or her incumbent duty to give these enterprising women their support. In a measure their success is our success.

We read one which attracted our attention because it referred to matters which are right under our observation. Now, in the first place, to our mind, the person who would write an anonymous letter is about the lowest and vilest form of animal life that infests the earth, and would not scruple to commit any base or villainous act; this type of creature is side partner to the assassin who slinks behind his victim and stabs him from the back. It is an enigma to us why the police would give credence, much less consideration, to such epistles. If a man is a real MAN, and is cognizant of crime or wrong-doing being committed, he walks right into the station or elsewhere and openly states his case. If it were otherwise, no citizen, no matter what his position in society, would be safe from these hyenas. The letter in question was written and signed on a typewriter, the typewritten signature was that of R. H. Sampson, of the Y. M. C. A. The communication bore all the ear-marks of the handiwork of a crook bearing a personal grudge against Sergeant Bert Masssey, Officer Frank White, R. W. Baker, and Officer McClanahan in particular. Now, as a matter of fact, all the officers mentioned have repeatedly given practical demonstration and irrefutable proof of their bravery and integrity in their effort to keep down crime east of Main St. Frank White is one of the most gentlemanly and diplomatic officers one could meet: Arthur McClanahan, though young in the service, is a credit to the force and sergeant Masssey has stood squarely behind the boys anhelped to make their efforts a signal success and it will take more than cowardly attacks in the form of anonymous letters to deprive them of the credit due. As To R. W. Baker We at once decided that if the charges against R. W. Baker and his place of business were true, the place should be looked into. Suiting the action to the thought, we made a paintstaking investigation, which disclosed the following facts: That Mr. Baker operates a pool room on Central Avenue, between Pico and Fourteenth Streets: in the pool room is also located the Abyssinia Barber Shop, operated by Harry Southard and George Ellerby, two clean-cut, upright business men who maintain one of the finest shops in the city. We stopped not here, but went further. We inquired at every place of business across the street and adjacent to the establishments mentioned, and each and every one gave the place a clean bill for being orderly in its inside management and for not permitting leafers to congregate before its doors. Moreover, we did not stand on the outside and look in, but went inside and looked out, and with fully a dozen tables going we heard not a word of discord, nor even an oath, from any of the men assembled. It was evident that the casting of suspensions against this establishment was done in accordance with those principles (or lack of principles) that so pervert men's conscience as to allow them to fall low enough to resort to anonymous letter in an effort to achieve their contemptible purpose. We truly believe that the police department and the Federal Government should run down the originators of this base propaganda and put them behind the bars—for they are a menace to society and more pernicious than the Ku Klux Klan. This paper stands fairly and squarely for Law and Order. We are against all dives; we denounce no particular place for vicious practices, for all vice is wrong. But we do believe in a square deal for all legitimate business, and it is a sad commentary on prevailing conditions that any business or any citizen can be made the victim of a vile, creeping, crawling, insidious character assassin who would not scruple to destroy a man's reputation or ruin his business, to satisfy a personal grudge. R. H. Sampson, of the Y. M. C. A. stand up! And we will point to you as the master crook of all crooks. (Sampson is a myth known only to anonymous letter writers.)

The Eagle ATTEND OUR EMPLOYEES BENEFIT SALE-END SATURDAY-ALL OUR EMPLOYEES RECEIVE A PERCENTAGE OF OUR GROSS SALES Most everyone is talking about these wonderful coats. Many have wondered how we can sell garments that are actually worth up to $45.00 at $14.98. This is the reason we purchased the entire stock of a certain manufacturer at a price that will average a loss to him of over $15.00 o nevery coat. So you can readily see the saving that awaits you at this remarkable sale. Coats made of the very finest materials with luxurious fur collars and cuffs. Splendid all silk linings and many models to select from. Without a doubt, the greatest coat values of the year. Taffetas, canton crepes and satin combinations and many new silks, delightfully new. Many styles to select from. We know positively that these dresses are being offered elsewhere at prices as high as $27.50. It is just an example of how we sell ready-to-wear. Do you know that you can dress well for just half what you have been spending if you buy your clothes from Scott's? When you buy Scott's, you are saving half the usual overhead charges. We are more than willing to prove these assertions. Our low prices tell the story. ```markdown ``` ABRAHAM LINCOLN FAVORED THE COMMON PEOPLE SO DO WE REGULAR $45.00 WOMEN'S COATS ON SALE AT SHOWING A WONDERFUL DISPLAY- SPRING DRESSES Saturday at $3.49 If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---YOU May Never Know It Happened Scott'S Department Store No greater man ever lived than Abraham Lincoln. He is loved today by every race and creed, and he lived a simple life. His whole thought was of his fellow men. His sterling character portrayed two great traits—honesty and kindness. He had a feeling that everything should be done to help the common people. His thoughts were always of them. Now this store is laying the same foundation. We cater to the wants of the masses, the people who have to work for their living and work hard, and we have a real message for them. It is this—you can dress better for just half what you have been spending on dresses, coats or hats. We mean this, and are proving it daily to hundreds of satisfied customers who are continually coming back to us for their clothes. You may rightly ask how can we do this. No we'll tell you— 1.—It costs us less than one per cent for rent. 2.—You don't have to pay for fancy fixtures or shop in a marble pal- ace. 3. We have other stores throughout the East and combine our purchases. No quantity is too large for us to buy. 4. We undersell other stores because we are satisfied with a low margin of profit, depending on volume for our profits. 5. We do not buy cheap merchandise. We buy good merchandise at a lower price than other stores. 6. We buy for cash and sell for cash only. All these things help us to keep down overhead charges, all of which you have to pay for when buying from stores that deliver merchandise and have charge accounts, fancy fixtures, etc. Practically every hat sold in our millinery department is made right here under our own roof in our own factories. No wonder we can save you from $5.00 to 10.00 on every hat you buy. No middleman's or jobbr's profit only one profit and a small one at that. 14.98 coats. but are season actur- 15.00 that of the cuffs. from. 14.98 Hats made in all the new wanted shades and materials. Hats that would sell elsewhere for at least $10.00. We have our own factories and practically all the hats we sell are made under our own roof. You save the profits of the jobbers and middlemen. Do you know that many prominent movie stars whose business it is to dress well buy their hats from us? They know style and are naturally eager to save money on their clothes. $1.00 Mens Athletic Union Suits 50c 79c Childrens Union Suits 35c $1.00 Childrens Bloomer Dresses 89c $1.00 Muslin Gowns 69c 75c Womens Extra Size Bloomers 49c 35c Pillow Cases at 25c Boys Denim Overalls 79c THE NEW SPRING HATS PRICED AT 3.98 THE FAMOUS FERRIS FAMILY OR- CHESTRA CAPTAIN H.

AVIATRIX HAS HOPES FOR FUTURE Miss Bessie Coleman, aviatrix excellentissima, Hcs incumbent in the St. Catherine's Hospital at Santa Monica, as a result of injuries sustained last Sunday. With a leg broken in two places, three broken ribs and injuries about the face she still holds an optimistic outlook for her future career, as an exponent of the science and art of aeronautics. Miss Coleman's regular mechanic had not arrived from the East, but advised her not to fly until he came to test her plane. But as she had an engagement to display her ability before her own people Sunday, she allowed local mechanics to work on her plane. On entering her machine to fly she noticed that her clock was gone. She invited the mechanic who had worked on her plane, as well as others nearby to ride with her on her first flight. After they refused she climbed into her plane alone. The leather belts which were used to hold her in were too large and could not be easily loosened. When she reached an altitude of about three hundred feet she lost control of the machine. But before the crash she was able to right her plane so that it would not strike the ground at right angles. This lessened her injuries a great deal. She believes that it was due to an inefficient examination of her machine. All of her friends and admirers hope for an immediate recovery so that she may be able to inculcate some of her spirit of daring into her people. "TELL THEM I'M GOING TO FLY" Bessie Coleman's Message to the General Public. Aviatrix Bessie, now at St. Catherine's Hospital in Santa Monica, sends this message to all friends and well-wishers, and all who loyalty turned out to witness the exhibition flight last Sunday that ended so tragically for the star performer: "TELL THEM ALL, THAT AS SOON AS I CAN WALK, I'M GOING TO FLY! AND MY FAITH IN AVIATION AND THE USEFULLNESS IT WILL SERVE IN FULFILLING THE DESTINY OF MY PEOPLE ISN'T SHAKEN AT ALL. And I mean to carry out every plan I made for establishing a school here, where our boys may acquire the mastery of the air."

Two great men one born free the other one a clave, yet the lives they lived stand out in such bold relief that the whole world must take cognizance of their greatness, and the month of February therefore is one which all who stand for real humanitarian principles and recognize men for their real worth will join in the tribute which is paid to these two great characters on the respective anniversary of their births. Both of these great characters were the son of a destiny unseen, Lincoln without the weights which held Douglass down reached the Presidency and served faithfully and well for freedom's cause. Douglass with the chains of slavery broken, but not off his limbs, reached the highest pinnacle of fame which it was possible to reach. His effort, his personality and power of speech was the motive power to aid the immortal Lincoln on, and it is therefore eminently proper and denotes a spirit of real democracy for all to join in the celebration of the anniversaries of these two notable and great characters. SOARING EAGLE'S SPECIAL We are sending forth this issue an effort along the line of diversity in the functioning of a newspaper. Our Mr. Dorsey has caught the inspiration and presents to Eagle readers a practicle demonstration of the activities of our group in the realm of real estate and from the showing made the people from far and near cannot gain say but what this people answers roll call along this particular line of effort.... Of course along all the other lines of effors our regular force sets a hot pace in exploiting all the efforts worth while and all lines of effort are set forth. TWO LINES OF PRODUCT ION The Forum on last Sunday departed from the frivolous practice of allowing itself to be entertained by frivolous discussion, and refusing to express its stand on law and or, der, and really listened to and witnessed a practical demonstration along lines of actual production. The J. A. McCall Company, recently organized coffee and spice company, exhibited a display of its wares, and laid before the people assembled a genuine proposition, which, if followed up, will mean a real organization, which will stand for much in this community. There is absolutely no reason why such undertakings as this should not receive the heartiest support of all of our people. We have within us the power to build up ourselves, if we can only be brought to realize the same. There are forty thousand people here, it is said, and if but half that number can be made to see the point—by patronizing such a concern as this, and by purchasing stock in the same—the success of the enterprise will be assured—all to the glory and credit of a people that hitherto have failed to function as they should function along the lines of production.

The Purity Squad is the one delegated to deal with the vice situation, and the hobo squad looks after the "won't works" and gives all new-comers the once-over, to the end that the community may not be overrun by criminals and vagrants from other parts. On the detective force, some of the most effective work in stamping out crime is being constantly done by the especially well-quaified officers in that branch of the service. We do not hesitate to accord the highest praise and commendation to these our splendid defenders of Law and Order. SMITH & Non-Commiss ```markdown ``` line in progress. The danger that menaces so many persons is the fact that when they reach the borderline of progress, they become overwhelmed and cannot stand to farther go. We have observed men and their wives who, struggling against poverty and in the depths of despair, would calmly counsel together, give each other due credit for their views, and side by side fight it out to the bitter end and overcome the obstacles in their way—but as soon as the borderline of progress would be reached, one or the other would become unreasonable, family counsel would be thrown to the wind, and real progress would be a thing of the past. The same applies to individuals or organizations. Therefore it is well to watch for the danger line of progress, and remember the bridges that carried you safely over the yawning gulf of despair. THE POLICE SITUATION We are eminently satisfied with the police situation in this City, and the manner in which the present Chief of Police, Louis Oakes, conducts the same. Never at any time has more just and impartial consideration been given to all men, than is now being accorded by the present chief of the police force of the City of Los Angeles. The opportunity is ours: now, make good! There are some forty Colored officers in the police department, and they are indeed some of "the finest"—men of whom we can be justly proud.
