McGroarty Speaks Outfor Negro TELEPHONE: 829-244 McG Dr. Glenn McWilliams, former Secretary to ex-Mayor Woodman of Los Angeles, very kindly telephoned this office Wednesday morning stating that one of the most splendid eulogies he had ever listened to on the life of Lincoln was delivered by John Stevens McGroarty at Knights of Columbus Hall, Tuesday evening, of the occasion of Lincoln's hundred and fifteenth anniversary. Said Dr. McWilliams, "The feature of the address that appealed to me was the fact that even, though a black face was not visible in the audience, Mr. McGroarty most eloquently reviewed the achievements of the race, and said that if Lincoln could return to the earth at this time he would certainly not be ashamed of his part in the abolition of slavery." But this is not new or surprising to any class for the author of the famous Mission Play to stand before an all-white audience and tell it that America's most skilled surgeon is a black man, as also the sweetest singer of rhyme was a black man. John Stevens McGroarty is the one white man in America, who is not afraid to speak out his convictions. He reads history not with prejudice, but with an open mind, and a Christ-like desire to give unto every man his due. MAKES A-1 RECORD MARY EUGENIA JONES Among the February graduates as well as among one of the promising Literary geniuses of her age is sixteen year old Mary Eugenia Jones. As a sentiment maker it is the one big desire of the California Eagle to encourage, especially the serious students of the race, and that is why we have selected this young student as the theme of this next with the hope that through this medium we may inspire others to aim at the same heights of scholarship that she has attained. Mary Eugenia Jones is a member of a large family. Physically she is not strong, and having younger brothers and sisters it has been her duty to make many sacrifices in order that she might aid her mother in the care of these younger ones which she has always done cheerfully. Nevertheless Miss Jones comes out of McKinley Junior High this February with all Ones as Credits and with the avowed intention of pursuing her studies until she has partaken of all that California, her home State, has to offer. CHIEF VOLLMER SKIPS CIVIL SERVICE LIST APPOINTS LIEUT. W. W GLENN ALONG WITH OTHERS AS DETEC- TIVE CAPTAIN W. W. Glenn who has done yoeman service in the Los Angeles Police Department, has the honor of being the first Colored man to be appointed by any Chief of Police in Los Ang- eles to a Captaincy. It looks as if Chief Vollmer is made of that calibre that disregards a man's color, and only recognises real worth and merit. JOHNSON TRIAL RE OPENS MONDAY For the second time within nine months, L. M. Johnson, who, is it alleged, shot and killed Harry Harris, a Jew, in the vicinity of 22nd and Central on last May, will be tried for murder. The case has been set for Monday, February 18th, and will come up in Judge Avery's Court, Department 19 of the Court House. It will be remembered that at Johnson's first trial, because of the honest and conscientious convictions of one lone woman a hung jury resulted. This woman remained "pat" on the point that Johnson was protecting his home, and shot in defense of the same. The general opinion as expressed by those who attended the trial of Johnson and who heard all the evidence produced is, that had Johnson been a white man, he would have been acquitted at the first trial on the grounds of self-defense; and further still, that in all probabilities there never would have been a first trial. It is sincerely hoped that the Courts of our fair city will see fit, at this time, as in the past to deal out justice to all alike, regardless to color, race or creed. It is hoped that as many as can will attend the case and lend their moral and sympathetic support to Mr. Johnson's father, who has journeyed here from his home in the Southland and spent his life's earnings in the defense of his son.

Woman Jil MISS FLORINE WILLIAMS DRINKS BOTTLE OF IODINE GIRL WELCOMES DEATH AS HER DELIVERER IN LOVE TANGLE Miss Florine Williams of 1040 East 9th street who conducts a Manicuring Parlor on central Ave. took the contents of a phial of lodine at her home just before 10 o'clock Thursday morning and ran to 9th and Central Avenue before falling. She was taken to the drug store on the corner for first aid treatment. It is said that the cause leading up to this tragedy was the result of a quarrel with her sweetheart early Thursday morning. Miss Williams is said to have attended a reception the evening before and parted with her sweetheart, a member of the band playing for the occasion at 3 o'clock. Her room showed that she had gone through mental suffering, and to end it all she took poison—leaving a letter to the mother who had striven hard to raise her to womanhood. She was rushed to the Receiving Hospital where it is said she is in a serious condition. Haitian Athletes to Compete at Olympiad (Lincoln News Service) Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Feb. 14.—For the first time in her history Haiti will be represented in the Olympic games. A rifle team of five principals and two alternates, selected from the best shots in the native gendarmerie, will compete in the 400, 600 and 800-meter match, the sum of $10,000, to finance the trip having been used by private subscription. In addition, subscriptions for the same amount are being raised to send two fencers and a small squad of track and field athletes to the Paris games. This decision on the part of Haiti is the logical outcome of the remarkable growth among the Haitians this year in Soccer, tennis, rifle-shooting, and bicycling. Haitians of the aristocracy, as well as the peasants, have had their banner year in athletics.Soccer has ousted cock-fighting as the favorite pastime. Tennis is a close second to Soccer, with tennis courts being laid out in all parts of the island. Interesting Facts About Black Americans In Arizona The Wesley C. People's Press Service 2014 1-2 Sutter Street, San Francisco, and Tucson, Arizona. Special 16 The California Eagle: Many people are rapidly coming into this section of the West. While most of them are settling in and Phoenix, yet other sections are getting their portion. Most of these however, are settling in the cities, yet the country districts are growing. Most of those in the country are engaged in raising cotton. Up at Vuma I met a race farmer who had moved to that section to go on the land, which they found very difficult to obtain, and in consequence of which they were moving on to the Imperial Valley in California, where they had obtained land, and where they intend to raise cotton. Contrary to the general belief that so many Negroes were leaving the South because of ill treatment, conversation with these farmers was by the way. Jilted by Lover Attempts Suicide were from Oklahoma, brought out the fact that they had left that section manly because of their inability to make a living on the land in that State which they attributed to climatic conditions, the freezing winters, and the deadly havoc wrought, by the boll weevil. Otherwise they claimed they fared all right. anat obtain HercinlY'ev I had the pleasure of visitig some of the farms and ranches operated by members of the race in this section. They have, in most instances, gone in for a variety of farming. Growing some cotton and gip corn and alfalfa. They also own and operate some orange groves. They all appear to be doing well. There is a great deal of race prejudice in Arizona. In the cities it is a difficult thing to find a decent place in which to eat. In fact one has to depend almost entirely upon the Chinese who operate restaurants in nearly all towns. It is just as difficult to find a place to sleep. In Tuscon, from where this is written, there are separate schools as there are in Phoenix. I am told that there is no Equal Rights law such as we have in Calfornia. There is a branch of the N.A.A.C.P. here, but many say it is inactive, that there is really no harmony among its members. I have had some interviews with some of the leading white citizens of this State and they all seem to be quite proud of their Negro citizens, and the Negroes themselves say that they have a very liberal white population to deal with. Prof. Cicero Simmons is the principal of the colored schools here and is the out standing figure of the race. He enjoys the confidence of all, both white and black alike, and is a very able man. The A. M. E. Church of this city has recently purchased some valuable church property here. In addition to that which they already own, which by the way is entirely paid for. They owe approximately two thousand dollars on the new piece. Some opposition developed as to the purchase of the new piece, but the leading white citizens have stood by them and they saw their way clear to pay for it. Rev. Wells is the pastor. Down in Nogales, I had the pleasure of lunching with Company E of the 25th. The entire first two battalions are at this fort. They are officered entirely, with the exception of the Chapplain, by white men. Some of the men speak very depreciatingly of the future of the Negro as an officer in the U. S. army, and some are so pessimistic as to believe they will disappear. These are indeed a fine body of men and the whole nation should be proud of them. I saw the company mount guard, and the entire 25th infantry band (65 pieces) do their stuff, and believe me, they can do it. NEXT MEET.

LIBERTY LIFE BUYS $250,000.00 BANK Frank L. Gillespie, founder and president of the Liberty Life insurance Co. announced the purchase of the Roosevelt Bank at 36th al Grand Boulevard last week. The total cost was $250,000.00. Mr. Gillespie said, "It is the ambition of our company to make a place for our own boys and girls in the field of banking and insurance. We cannot render the highest service to our race without great financial institutions". Last year, according to Mr. Carey, agency director nearly $5,000,000 new business was written in policies ranging from $500 to $5,000 in Illinois and Michigan. Thursday, February 21, 's the date L. A. JOHNSON SUPPORTERS URGE COHEN APPOINTMENT J. Spurred by a telegram from J. B. Bass, editor of The California Eagle, now attending the annual session of the Lincoln League at Chicago as committeeman from California, race supporters of Hiram Johnson in this vicinity urged Senator Johnson to vote for the confirmation of Walter Cohen for collector of the port of New Orleans, La. Editor Bass, who is in conference with the leading race Republicans of the country at the session of the Lincoln League in Chicago, realized the necessity of support for Mr. Cohen's appointment and on Wednesday sent the following telegram to Attorney Willis O. Tyler, who is one of the vice presidents of the Johnson-for-prerident Club of Southern California and is also a member of the Executive Committee. "You will do a great and lasting service for the Race by wiring Senator Hiram Johnson at his headquarters here asking his support on confirmation of Walter Cohen. Action will be taken at session of Senate, Monday, 18h. As the outstanding Johnson supporter of our group in California, I have assured leaders here that you will join most heartily in with effort to confirm Cohen. "J. B. Bass". WILLIS C Immediately upon receiving Editor Bass' telegram and fully realizing the importance of it, Attorney Tyler called a hurried conference with Dr. J. A. Somerville, Attorney S. Grasty, Rev. E, T. Hubbard, Mrs. A. Olivia Wilson, Ollie Jane Hamilton and other prominent Johnson supporters and admirers in this city and the conference indicated the following telegram to Senator Johnson, which was dispatched to him at his Chicago headquarters over the signature of Attorney Willis O Tyler: "Senator Hiram W.

No one is more sensible than the Negro himself of his incongruous position in the great American Republic, but be it recorded to his everlasting credit, no failure to reap the full award of his sacrifices has ever in the least degree qualified his loyalty, or cooled his patriotic fervor. His educational and economic progress have gone far to justify his emancipation, and any nation with such loyal and devoted citizens should do all in its power to encourage and help to the extent of giving them full citizenship instead of holding them back and making them suffer because they have a zeal to rise. Don't get the habit of finding fault—for we are afraid that if you look closely, the fault you think you see in others is your own mind's attitude. While we pay homage to the sainted Lincoln, let us not forget the 14th of February as the birthday of the "Sage of Anacostia," Hon. Frederick Douglas, one of the most picturesque characters in American history. He was wisely termed, "Grand Old Man" who never surrendered nor ever was cajoled into betraying his race while he lived. In his day there was no let up in his fight for Negro manhood and he went to his grave feeling sure that the principles he taught should forever inspire the coming generation with a greater zeal to reach the highest standard in civilization. The Divine ordeal of the Gospel Ministry is that of a man true to God in will; to man in sympathy and proclaiming God's method in bringing into right relation to himself, and thus to all things else. But can there be any weight to such divinity if we do not lift up Christ and not man? We fear the awful mess we are making of it all. "We can't fool all the people all the time." So let us get back in the path again. Perhaps we would not have so many troubles if we would do right—if we would tell the truth and quit trying to deceive our people.

Folks who say the Negro is racially and hopelessly inferior to the white man might put this in their pipes and it. "It is, of course, all bosh—this thing of saying that one race is inferior to another. The fact is that God put the same kind of brains in the heads of all the races. "And, it is also the truth, that if you dig down into it you will find that white men were never the greatest of men, nor did they do the greatest things.

S. Government preserves this document known as the Emancipation Proclamation which is the most interesting of all the autograph documents of our presidents. It was always the fear of Mr. Lincoln that this document would some day be stolen and to guard against this it has been properly protected. His remarkable success in captivating the popular mind was undoubtedly unconsciousness of self which enabled him to go forward in any undertaking. He forgot himself so entirely until he saw all men created free and equal. A one United America? He was homely, dispassionate, showing all the rough-edge process of his thought as it goes along, yet arriving at his conclusions with an honest kind of every day logic. He was eminently our representative man; when he spoke it seemed that people were listening to their own thinking aloud. The dignity of his thought owes nothing to any ceremonial garb of words, but to the manly movement that comes of settle purpose, and an energy of reason that knows not what rhetoric means. Mr. Lincoln always addressed the intelligence of men, never their prejudice, their passion, or their ignorance. He was so strong and so persuasive in honest manliness, a civilian during times of the most captivating military achievements; awkward, with no skill in the lower technicalities of manners. He left behind him a fame beyond that of any conqueror; the memory of a grace, higher than that of outward person; and a gentlemanliness, deeper than mere breeding. Never before that startled morning did such multitude of men shed tears for the death of one they had never seen. Never was funeral panegyric so eloquent as the silent lack of sympathy from the Black man's soul, as they met together on the 14th day of February, 1865, to lay their friend and Emancipator away to rest. "The common manhood had lost a kinsman."

We all recognize the truth, that education, with proper facilities, is one of the greatest factors and fundamentals to clarify the vision of the young and help them to prepare themselves to think clearly and meet the grave issues of the future that will be sure to confront them. The child should have every opportunity and facility in this great commonwealth, and its educational institutions should be the best—giving all races the same training; and to all trained minds an opportunity to teach in the departments they are best qualified. There should be no discrimination in the faculty when it comes to selecting teachers for the public schools. The question is causing an unrest among our group because of the fact that the public school boards do not give our race an opportunity to teach in the city schools. Many of our race want separate schools because of this fact—a fact entirely out of the question. We need a united effort on the part of the race in Los Angeles to demand of the School Board a percentage of teachers. We are almost impatient with the American idea of fair play and justice to those who have been ever loyal and true to the colors. We have always wondered why they selected all the text books that portray the characters of the white race and not one mention of any single deed done by the Negro. It is an injustice that will not hold good in the end. The time of discension and hoodwinking the people into the belief that only one race has been responsible for the establishing of a great American Democracy has past and the young minds are now craving for the truth. TELLING A LIE. There are many ways of tell the most potent is acting the lie. AMONG THE CHRISTIANS. Men teach, not by their words There are many ways of telling a lie, but perhaps the most potent is acting the lie. Men teach, not by their words, but by their actions. "THE DAYS ARE EVIL" Ephesians 5:16. (1) The words carry universal agreement. (2) It calls for universal concentration of thought. (3) The chapter is a conclusion of the apostle's exhortation in the 4th chapter on brotherly love, enforced by the consideration of the love of God and of Christ toward us. He repeats His warning against uncleanness, covetousness, drunkenness and other vices and urges upon His hearer a contrary way of living. He exhorts to cordial relations in family life; and calling attention to the condition of the world. He advises that all opportunities be seized to live righteously, the days being evil. (The Test). The conditions of the time. It is a rule among men to make comparisons of ane period with another in order to detremine the question of better or worse. It therefore becomes us to find out as well as possible just what were the conditions at the time of the apostle's writing. There were four distinct classes of people with which the apostle had to deal. (1) Open violators of law and order. (2) Nominal professors of Christianity. (3) The undecided and timid lookers-on. (4) The faithful few whom the apostle warns. What are the conditions of the present time? In gathering and sifting information as to the times in which we live, we have to look to four places. The Government—Here we find a sad breaking down in three vital particulars, it is partial and discriminatory, and it is discredited by the great masses. This is the great cause of the unrest of the whole world today.Nomially the war is over, but as a matter of fact the world is in the throes of war today. The Great Masses—From the Government we turn our attention to the every day people. The people that God loves, for as Lincoln said, "God must love the common people, he made so many of them". Here we find the death struggle between capital and labor. The onward sweep of Bostelheim. The deadly fear of anarchy, the daring of socialism, the now awful fight between the dry and wet forces, the fearful increase in crime (The days are evil). Home—We turn to the home, and here it is the place where the nation is made, here is the place where the schools are made, here is the place where the armies and navies of the world come from, here is the place whence the Church, and the Sunday School take rise, here is the place where we make future mothers and fathers. Is there a place on earth more sacred than home? But, also, here also we find a collapse, a breaking down of the man, a poor conception, and consequently a disdainful view of the honor and glory cast upon the woman. (Second) Then comes the struggle of the woman to take what ever place the man is fitted for: and she has carried this so far that she is now assuming the very nature of man. (3.) Then appears the disavowal of leadership. (4) Disrespect of both wife and children, breaking down of the home. As you think today of a surety that the days are evil, shattered homes, you must admit gn-ty ollyt avakya'hm Church—We join now to the church. No map can toll of the beginning of the church, with the coming of man on the earth, came also the churches. Not the outward structure in brick and mortar, but the inward worshipper. (1) Acknowledgement of a Supreme Being. (2) Acknowledgement of Him as Benefactor. (3) Ascription to Him as the maker and director of all things. (4) Acknowledgement of obligation to thanksgiving, and worship being paid to Him. (5) Acceptance of His divine laws, as being holy, just, wise and good. These are some of the main teachings of the churches, but they are breaking down The church teaches brotherly love, this is breaking down. The church teaches the new birth as a condition of membership, this is breaking down. The church teaches the observance of the ten commandments, who keeps them today? The church teaches and day as the day of rest and for the worship of God, how is that day kept? The church teaches perfection. Is this observed? What a breaking down, what a breaking down. Therefore let us walk correctly, buying up all opportunities of holiness and usefulness, because the days are evil. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B.

MONTREAL MAY ALLOW JACK JOHNSON TO BOX Montreal, Canada, Feb. 8. After undergoing a rigid medical examination here and found to be in wonderful physical condition, the Athletic association passed a resolution favoring the granting of a license to Jack Johnson, ex-heavyweight champion of the world, to box in this city. He was immediately signed to a contract to box Homer Smith, the Kalamazoo heavyweight, here on Feb. 19. It will be remembered that Smith is the gent whom Harry Wills knocked out at the Queensboro stadium, Long Island City, N. Y., last fall. The examining physician was particularly astonished at Johnson's low blood pressure and declared him much younger than his years. The boxing fans here are keenly interested, and still believe that Jack is a formidable fighter, and much better than scores of other boxers who go about the country fooling the public. A number of business men here are aiding Johnson to stage a comeback, and it is possible he may be seen in action here with Harry Wills or some other good boxer if he makes good with Smith. THE POWER OF UNDERSTANDING By C. P. Jones "Give me understanding and I shall keep thy law, yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart"—Ps. 119:34. In the daily Examiner of February 1st, I found the following wise and true editorial. "WHY WE HATE "The only reason we hate is that we do not understand. "Those we know love. Those we do not understand we condemn. "Many will deny this, but it is worth thinking over. "Rabbi Goldfinkle relates the experience a traveler once had in crossing a mountain: "One morning', he said, 'when the mist hung upon the hills, I was going along my road, when I saw an object at a distance, which I took for a monster. When I came nearer to it, I saw it was a man; when I came close up to him, I found it was my brother." "Jews and Gentiles, whites and Negroes, pink-skinned and yellow-skinned men. French and Germans, looking at each other through the mists of bigotry, see but monsters. If they could only approach they would find them to be brothers". What the Law Means What the Law Means The law to the Christian is no longer a thing of the letter (II Cor. 3), but is a spiritual thing. It is all, to us, summed up in one sentence, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself", Ro. 13:8-10. Read closely Galatians 6 and 5th chapters, and this matter will become theologically clear to you. For the Gentiles get their theology from Paul, not from Moses nor even Peter, nor Matthew nor Mark nor Luke, nor John. Paul was the "apostle to the Gentiles". Eph. 2. Gal. 2. Understanding Editors But it is not of this we want to speak, but of understanding. The editor of the Examiner is right, deeply, wisely, bravely right. When the editors of our great dailies discover such truths in their souls, truths so broadly conceived and enunciate them and act upon them and live up to them, better times are here. The Power of the Press In many respects the press is now more powerful than the pulpit in reaching the minds and souls of men, and in moulding sentiments. Regrettable as the fact may be, millions read the papers who never hear a sermon. And most men wore quickly heed the papers. Love of Neighbor "Give me understanding and I shall keep thy law." And what is that law when boiled down to its real essence? "To love one's neighbors as himself. And what does that mean when interpreted into action? "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them". This is all that religion has to teach men; this is "all the law and the prophets". Even our devotion to God is not to give God peace and happiness, but to make us happy by placing our souls in right relations to God and man. Unless religion is used to promote love for our neighbor, whoever that neighbor may be, white or black, or yellow or brown, old or young, pretty or ugly, rich or poor, learned or unlearned, it is misunderstood and abused. "Give me understanding". Our God, be merciful. Make us understand. Lack of Understanding—Pride Our failure to forbear our neighbor in love, our refusal to take up the cross and follow Jesus in this matter, is from lack of understanding. Pride is an unbearable ignorant thing, as it may be polished and Chesterfieldian manners. Even scientific knowledge and genius of handicraft are nothing when it comes to the problems of the soul and the peace and happiness of man. Give me understanding. Give me understanding. Vision Needed Give me understanding and I will see the way of Christ to be right the doctrines of Christ to be true and practicable. Give me understanding and I will see the ugliness of pride, the emptiness of folly and the eternal reward for seeking and pursuing peace. Give me understanding and I am fit to live with. Without it I am no. God gave Davis an understanding. It saved him from his sins and crowned him with glory and honor. God gave Solomon understanding and it made him the most illustrious king of all the ages. God gave Paul understanding and the it made him a martyr, he was a ready and willing one and how achly thru his Master, Christ Jesus, he has lived and shone all down the centuries. Mohammed used the sword and spread his faith, a sensual, selfish ding. Paul used self denial and moral assasion and spread the doctrine of the Christ-life "from the river to the end of the earth". Men are hated to Mohammed and frightened there by the sword; they are loved to Christ, and so saved forever from selfishness and sin. Give me understanding. Let obey the Lord and with all my petting let me get understanding. Amen.

TRAFFIC Traffic officer Rubin Scott, who is one of the new 12 colored officers assigned to the traffic squad recently by chief Vollmer had the following brief remarks to maks in a recent interview regarding traffic: "Traffic today is the most discussed subject before the public. The council, police department, automobile association, car owners, in fact every one is trying to suggest some feasible solution of the over crowded traffic conditions resulting from the rapid growth of the city. To my mind there are avenues left that if used will greatly assist in minimizing accidents and speeding up traffic in general. First, everyone must learn to realize the fact that the most direct route at times is the longest and that instead of going down the first street, if he or she will just try the next one to that they will perhaps arrive at their point much sooner. Second, patronize the many business centers surrounding the vicinity in which they live instead of everyone rushing eight or ten miles to make it to Seventh and Broadway. Los Angeles is large and has lots of room and if every one uses more space instead of trying to patronize certain streets, traffic conditions will be made much easier on us, traffic men and the public better served." As soon as possible make it your business to secure a copy of the new traffic ordinances recently passed by the council unless you have more money than sense. Grade crossings are the most deadly enemies that the automobilist has, so don't be in too big a hurry as toorrow may be in find von in jail or at home, Remember, "Stop, Look and Listen". Flowers are somewhat scarce and run high, so be content if you haven't but one car. When you speak of Taxi service, always say Elite Taxi. The recent law compelling all motor vehicle drivers to come to a complete stop at certain places designated by white lines drawn on the pavement and during certain hours of the day is very good indeed, but like all new laws it has some parts that could be improved upon. For instance, if the city or the Automobile Club would provide the schools with a marker similar to the ones that are placed in the Safety islands in the downtown sections of the city, and instead of having them marked "Keep to Right" have them marked "School-Stop" and have one of the older pupils of the school set them in the center of the street about half an hour before time for school to convene, it would prevent a lot grinding of brakes suddenly and burning f rubber. tothofeg avong aeoch ingos pthityEp: It is next to impossible for a driver to see the places that are marked out until he is right up on them and then if he isn't very careful, some one is liable to run into him from the rear as he too probably did not see that there was a "School Stop" there and was not expecting the driver ahead of him to come to a sudden stop. It doesn't seem entirely fair to the driver to have to stop during the hours that the children are in school, consequently if the markers were only put out during the periods that the children are actually going from and to school, I believe it would meet the hearty approval of all motorists that are trying to obey the law. 487 SATISFIED CUSTOMERS 137 RE-SALES TO SAME PARTIF And as he attempted to drive in the driveway a pleasant jaunt, the gentleman who resides on Dewey Street accidently stepped on the gas instead of the brakes, and, well er, doxology.

HUMBOLDT 1501 be proved that the world's greatest artists along all sides have very seldom been endowed with wonder talent. One finds that, for the general rule, the ordinary equipment has reached the highest development. For instance our criticism of Roland Hayes has been seconded by Pierre Key in his article in last Sunday's Times. For the benefit of our readers we are giving the items in full. "His interesting sentiment is spreading throughout this hard boiled city over the coming recital of Roland Hayes, as readers of this column may recall, is a Negro tenor singer. Until recently his name was not over-well known hereabouts. Those who make a practice of keeping informed about music and musicians were aware (prior to his first New York recital in several years) that he had been making somewhat of a sur in Europe, principally in London. After that art, prerequisite, before holiday time, came a second one. Thereupon the name of Hayes came to mean a very specific something whenever and wherever it was mentioned. The latest recital sung by this remarkable artist was in Town Hall; the forthcoming one is to take place in Carnegie Hall, where there are considerably more than twice the number of seats. We are curious to discover whether they will all be occupied on the basis of tickets purchased to secure them. "Hayes presents an object lesson for young people ambitious to make careers in music. He started with a voice of agreeable quality, but it was not an exceptional voice as most people regard voices. It had not, for example, great beauty of quality, or power, or anything else of outstanding character. It was serviceable and as we have stated agreeable. "Then young Hayes went to work in a studio of a Boston singing master. He used his time outside that studio to advantage. In the course of a few years he made his first some important public appearance somewhat satisfactorily. New York heard him, somewhat later, and approved of him. He was the best singer of his race who had been discovered in several years, but there were other concert-singers (caucasians) who were regarded as, and who probably were, his superiors. "Several years have lapsed; Hayes must have made the utmost of them, for he came back in artist of the foremost rank. It was instantly discovered that his European triumphs were not accidental. He had something to offer many. He is not one of the school of academics. Simplicity, sincerity and spirituality are his three distinguishing traits". Some of the things that our people must know are: great noise in a Barber singer, player or preacher is not great art; a great voice is a gift but it is not necessary to make an artist, and that work, hard work is the only secret of success. When we realize this and can appreciate the efforts of our embryo artists we shall be on the highway of culture and equality with other groups. Until that time we have no right to clamor for the respect and consideration due a group that supports and develops its cultural side. Johnson High, the weak sister of the city league, should have a banner year this season. With the addition of several new baseball stars, and in early start such as they are having, and the fact that they always have a fairly good baseball team, they should give a very lively account of themselves in that line of sport. Jimmie Sims, star second, sacker on Long Beach's nine last year, should be a great asset to the Democratic pills-sluggers. Sims is also a heavy hitter of no mean ability. In track, "Jeff" has a new spinner who hails from Vernon Special in the person of Jim Harris. Alon with Archie Woodyard, the fastest moving thing around these parts, and "Spark Plug" Williams, Jeff will have a trio of sprinters that, will knock down many points. Other men who should break into the point column this season are: Hill Blisco of football fame; in the discus; Bob Jackson in the quarter-mile run; Ocie Gresham and Wally Markham in the mile; Levy, Harnett, and Sam Smith, relay team men; and Jack Prayer, also of football fame, in the quarter mile. Despite the fact that Jack packs 210 pounds of beef around with him, he can sure pick them up and lay them down in quick succession.

WASHINGTON LETTER (Lincoln News Service) Washington, Feb. 14.—When the Committee on the District of Columbia in the House of Representatives recently ordered a favorable report on a bill to make Lincoln's birthday a legal holiday in the District, Representative Blanton, a Texas Democrat, objected and announced that he would file a minority report against the bill. The measure was favored by representatives of the Grand Army of the Republic; Sons of Veterans; Veterans of Foreign Wars; the District Commissioners, and the American Federation of Labor. This unexpected objection had the effect of awakening the people to the fact that there still hurks in the bosoms of the dominant element of the Democratic party a feeling not altogether in harmony with the predominating spirit of the times. It is thought that if the action of this Democratic congressman indicates the attitude of his party towards honoring a man whose public services gained him such a fond place in the hearts of his countrymen, towards the man who saved the Nation from dissolution, who gave it its start on the pathway of industrial freedom and economic prosperity, and who gave his life, there can be no doubt as to the Democratic attitude upon all questions that favorably affect the progress of those who have long been considered as the chief beneficiaries of the policies inaugurated by this Republican martyr, the greatest American. The sudden and impolitic outburst of Representative Blanton, while ineffective in so far as the passage of the bill is concerned, has not been with out a far-reaching and indeterminable political effect. It has disillusioned, on national issues, wavering colored citizens in such doubtful states as New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri. It has served as a danger signal to warn them that nationally, at least, the democratic party is neither willing nor ready to receive them; that the allurements of Tammany Hall and the political strategies of the Taggarts and Brennams are for local purposes only; and that the pleasing adaptability of Democratic presidential candidates to existing conditions in those states is merely a pre-election concession to the wishes of the state party leaders. Recognizing a growing disposition on the part of many colored citizens to vote their convictions, as other citizens, on party issues, there have been many evidences of successful attempts on the part of northern democrats to promote the good will of the colored electrate in various communities and to establish an agreeable working basis that would result in the success of local organizations; but when everything is primed and arrangements have been made by state leaders to deliver this vote to the national ticket, there appears on the stage a Blanton, a Baltimore mayor, or a Kentucky governor, who smears the Democratic scenery with mud, shoots teargas in to the eyes of the colored voters, disrupts the pans of the northern democratic leaders, and makes it impossible for a self-respecting colored citizen to ally himself with them on national issues, regardless of the apparent friendliness of the standard bearer. And it is fortunate indeed for the waveting colored citizens that this hurtful influence in the democratic ranks always uncovers itself at the opportunity time, at a time in our development whee a national political mistke might delay the progress of the race. It is for this reason that we thank Representative Blanton for his opposition to the bill to make Lincoln' Birthday a national holiday in the District of Columbia; why we thank the democratic mayor of Baltimore for his attempt to put over a residential segregation plan in that city, and also the democratic Governor of Kentucky for his references to colored women. The shoals of politics are lined with the wricks of those whose visions were obscured by prejudices. Howard University Appropriations Stricken Out on Point of Order (Lincoln News Service) Washington, Feb. 14.—Taking exception to an address recently delivered by the Rev. Francis J. Grinke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, and a member of the Trustees' Board of Howard University, on the occasion of the Seventh Annual Convocation of the School of Religion at Howard University, Representative James F. Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina, was successful last Tuesday, in having appropriations for the university, amounting to $207,500, striken from the Interior Department Appropriation Bill on pionds of order. Practically every department of Howard University is affected by the "cut". The congressman, in a speech in the House, declared that Dr. Grimke's address on "What is the Trouble with Christianity Today?" teaches a dangerous doctrine". Mr. Byrnes added that he was opposed to the Congress appropriating money to defray the expense of a course in Theology. ALPHA PHI ALPHA HONORS NEW OFFICERS On last Monday evening, the members of the Alpha Delta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha entertained their newly elected local officers and their National Vice-President, Mr. James McGregor, with an elegantly appointed dinner party at the home of Mr. B.

Covers were yald for eighteen and the evening was enlivened by a program consisting of a piano solo by Miss Irene Salisbury, a vocal solo by Mr. Malcolm Patton and remarks by Mr. James McGregor. Dancing was also in order. Mr. Malcomb Patton acted in the capacity of Toastmaster. The newly elected officers of the local chapter are: Mr. James McGregor, President; Mr. Malcolm Patton, 1st Vice-President; Mr. Samuel, Sec.; Mr. William Prince, Asst. Sec.; Dr T. A.

Becoming Mecca of Musical Talent Los Angeles is rapidly becoming the mecca for talent along artistic lines. The most recent acquisition to our galaxy of artists brot to the attention of the writer is Mrs. Florence M. Brawley, a young woman of exceptional ability, who has completed the course in piano at Fisk University together with having done postgraduate work in as Eastern Conservatory of national reputation, specializing in choral and vocal music. Aside from being a brilliant pianist and a most thorough instructor, Mrs. Brawley possesses a voice of rare musical quality and is capable of reading at sight with unusual dexterity and ease. A few year ago it was the writer's good fortune to sit at a community sing held at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Pueblo, Colo., directed by this vivacious young woman and to keenly observe the technique born of real musicianship coupled with a sympathetic ear exercised in blending several hundred voices into one of inspiring harmony as did Mrs. Brawley. Under the leadership of Mrs. Brawley this choir achieved a distinction second to none in the state of Colorado. The sterling qualities and indomitable courage have won for this young woman the respect of the heads of one of the leading commercial houses here where she occupies a position of authority and trust. Mrs. Brawley, of high culture and refinement, a woman of unassuming manners, is the wife of F. T. Brawley, a cabinet maker of the first water, and brother of Benjamin G. Brawley, author and enlighten literary critic whose works are now used as texts in many school systems. This couple has acquired valuable real estate holdings in and around Watts, Calif., and are making for solid citizenship. A PATRON OF AGE Grandmother and after both have passed since you have been away. Sweet memories of you my Arthur dear. Will linger with mother always. Bright dreams of the past which she cannot destroy. Which come in the night time of sorrow and care And bring back the features that joy used to wear. Long, long, my heart with such mem- ores be filled. Like a vase in which roses have once been distilled. You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will. But the scent of the roses will linger there still. Sweetly his arms folded on his breast As he slumbers in his eternal rest. With all the pictures that hang on the wall. The one of my Arthur is sweetest of all. —MOTHER. It will be remembered that Mr. McGregor journeyed back to Columbus, Ohio in December for the purpose of attending the National Convention of Alpha Phi Alpha as its third vice-president. During the convention Mrs. McGregor was the recipient of several distinct and signal honors. He was unanimously elected to the office of second vice-president, having under his jurisdiction the Western chapter of this powerful Fraternity. Another of the achievements accredited to this brilliant young man, was the excellent address he rendered as one of the three principal speakers at the banquet held at Dayton, Ohio after the pilgrimage to the home of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. This affair was well attended and included among its guests such personalities as Dr. John Greggs. Pres. of Wilberforce University; Dr. J. E. Moreland of national Y. M. C. A. a fame and a trustee of Howard University; Robt. L. Vann, Editor of the Pittsburgh Courier and others. The other speakers for the occasion were Dr. Sade Mosell-Alexander, former National President of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and Norman L. McGee, National Secretary of Alpha Phi Alpha, Mr. McGregor spoke on "The Aim of Alpha-Phi Alpha." The banquet was given by the Chapter at Dayton. Alpha Delta Chapter feels proud indeed to have her President so honored by the National body of the oldest and strongest Negro College Fraternity in America. Mr. McGregor was succeeded as 3rd vice-president by D. Langston Brown, a successful druggist of Columbus, Ohio. Attorney Raymond P. Alexander succeeded himself as 1st vice-president, while Raymond W. Cannon was made President, succeeding S. S. Booker of Baltimore, Md. The party was thoroughly enjoyed by all and the chapter members were sincere in their congratulations, to their new officers and their National vice-president.

M. C. A. Cor. 9h and Hemlock Ss. H. D. Prowd, Pastor ...There was great interest in our lesson at Sunday School. The subject: "The Failure at Kadesh" engaged the attention of all present. The story of the two brave men stood out for emulation and was driven home. At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Prowd preached from John 8:36—"if the Son, therefore shall make you Free, ye shall be free indeed." All in Divine service enjoyed the message for the Master was with us and spoke through the organ of clay. At the B. Y. P. U. we had an excellent topic before us—Ephephesians 3:12 to 21. The discussion was helpful in every respect, and no doubt good was done. The time having arrived for The Lord's Supper, Dr Prowd spoke on the words—"Until He Come." Once more we had the presence and blessing of The Master. We invite you to hear the sermons this Sunday—Subject at 11 o'clock: "What Will She Do With It?" Subject at 8 o'clock: "Whose House Is It?" Come on time, and come praying. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH 740 Maple Avenue Rev. T. L. Griffith, Pastor On last Lord's day services were up to the standard. Pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon, subject: "The Lord of Host is with us;" Psalm 46:11. Five additions to the church. Quite a few strangers were present, among them a Dr. Booker from Iowa a friend of Pastor Griffith; he was introduced to the church. He spoke in praise of pastor Griffith's work and worth as a minister of the Gospel and Church builder, we are pleased to hear such good reports of our pastor. The Chairman of the Trustee Board, Bro. J. H. Willingham presented the picture of the new church building which was beautiful. In a few well-chosen words he told what was expected of each member and well wisher to put this program over; we are all hoping and trusting that it will not be long now before the real building will be started. At the evening service Rev. D. Overr of Denver preached a wonderful sermon, subject: "Almost," Acts 26:28. Rev. Overr held the audience for a while as he spoke of the many beautiful truths pertaining to this all important subject. Remember the Sunday School Rally the 4th Sunday, we want to do our best. Strangers are always welcome with in our gates. Rev. W. H. Rozier, Pastor Our Sunday services were above par. Our Sunday School was well-attended by old as well as young. The Lesson was inspiring and many helpful thoughts were gleaned from it. Rev. Rozier occupied the pulpit in the A. M. Our hearts were uplifted as he talked with us. The Gospel light is turned on at Pleasant Hill. Now is the time for rthe Christian to make a decided stand for religious and doctors are being put to a test and nothing but the true word of God will be able to stand. The pure word of God is being given out at Pleasant Hill every night. Come and fortify yourself against the enemy. A good program is enjoyed in the B. Y. P. U. A free dinner is served every Sunday after A. M. services. All are invited to come and worship with us. Mr. Hilbert Rozier has just returned home from Howard. He is contemplating entering business. We will hear more from him in the near future. Mrs. G. Bush one of Pleasant Hill's faithful workers has been very ill but is now healed through faith in God—all praise is given to Him. Rev. A. T. Hines, Pastor Our hearts go out in thanksgiving when we say the Lord continues to bless our efforts. We had splendid services all day Sunday. The Sunday School was well attended. We were proud to see such a number of visitors in our midst Sunday morning, the house was filled in the evening in like manner. In this we see one of the rich remains of our Father who left us with the understanding that if I be taken up I will draw all men unto us. We were also blessed to have as sisters Rev. Bro. Haynes, Whitten, James, Bird, Garrison and Cobb ship with us. If p. m. we went to Mt. Olive where our Father, Rev. Hines deliver ed aunning message that every heal is made sensitive to the pres- ence of us. We ask you to attend our nightly meetings in this Holy Ghost is here to heal the body and soul. Three people were healed Sunday evening. TRINITY BAPSTIST CHURCH West 36th St. and Normandie Ave. Rev. J. H. Eldridge, Pastor Sunday, Feb. 9th was observed as Aniversary Day, marking the close of the second year's pastorate of Rev. J. H. Eldridge. The S. S. at 9:30 was evidence enough to show a large margin of progress since Feb. 9th, 1923. At eleven A. M. the church service was as usual full of spiritual inspiration. The pastor preached from St. Mark 4:39—Peace Be Still. The Choir rendered music in harmony with the spirit of the sermon. One addition at this service. At 7:30 the pastor preached from Exodus 14:15—Go Forward. This subject was his message to the church for the New Year's Work. Many things and duties were set forth in his discourse to pursue if the church means to go forward. PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST 18th and Paloma Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor A very successful revival, conducted by Evangelist Elizabeth Howard, has just closed; and the results were very fruitful and gratifying. The pastor, Dr. Greggs, has been away on a thirty-day leave of absence. This short vacation, the too limited for a complete convalescence, seems to have added much to his physical strength, and all are hopeful and mindful of co-operative plans for his usual strength and health. The death of Mrs. L. C. Kenzy was a funeral to her many frends. Her funeral was held at Roberts' Undertaking Parlor last Wednesday, Feb. 6th. The services were conducted by Pastor N. P. Greggs. Dr. Greggs delivered a touching eulogy over the deceased. Sister Kenzy was a very faithful and ardent worker in both the Christian Endeavor Society and the Sunday School. Impressive resolutions were read by Prof. Biggers president of the Endeavor Society, and by Mrs. Printice, Superintendent of the Sunday School. A very touching talk was made by the Dr. Major Prioleau commemorating the life and works of the deceased Sister Kenzy. The services all day last Sunday were marked with much enthusiasm and spiritual interest. Pastor Greggs, after nearly thirty days absence on vacation, was again found at his post, greeted with a hearty spirit of welcome and smiles of cheer from his large awaiting audience. The Rev. Dr. Gantt preached a stirring sermon; the theme of his discourse was "Willing Souls". His sermon was both logical and spiritually inspiring. The choir rendered excellent services all the day, especially at night. Very fitting and touching was the special solo sung by the Director, Prof. Johnson, at the 11 o'clock hour. The Quarterly Convocation held last Monday night in the church's main auditorium, was one of remarkable excellence. The reports for the past three months revealed many pleas ant things of the late accomplishments of the church. The schedule for the year was read by the pastor, out lining the many big programs, all of which are destined to a high ascending climax, mutual to the welfare of every member and entertaining and helpful to the entire public in attendance. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian Sts. Wes. A. P. Shaw, Pastor Sunday was a banner day at Wesley. The sermon by Rev. S. M. Beane and the singing by his choir thrilled the large audience which heard them at the morning hour. The pastor preached to a fine audience at the evening service. The offerings for the day were excellent. Six persons united with the church and three came forward for prayer at the evening service. Truly Wesley is marching on. This Sunday promises to be a great day. The pastor will preach in the morning on "Some of the Joys of the Christian Life". You will miss a spiritual treat if you fail to hear this sermon. Don't wait for others to tell you about it. Hear it for yourself. Hear the pastor's evening sermon on the "Reprobate Mind". He purposes to show that the present disclosures of sensuousness in movie circles and in Ponona indicate the fall of our present civilization. It would be good for a full house to hear this sermon. If you are looking for real worship and instruction free from chaff and chaff, come to Wesley. Do you believe it? Come and see. HAMILTON M. E. CHURCH Cor. E. 18th St. and Naomi Ave. Rev. S. M. Beanc, Pastor Sunday was a great day at Haulton, made doubly so because of the arrangement entered into between the pastor and Rev. Dr. Shaw, Dr. Shaw and his choir had charge of the service, and rendered wonderful service. The spirit of the Lord brooded over the place and nine persons came forward and uited with the church, one of them going to Wesley. It was a great service and an inspiration. The exchange of pulpits and choirs is new in Los Angeles and has proven of great benefit. While Dr. Shaw and his choir were with us our pastor and choir were at Wesley. Let us not make this the last. At night Rev. Cotton, a local preacher of the church, and a former probationer in the Little Rock Conference, preached from the subject, "Weeping for a Wayward Son". Large crowds were present at each service, and all went away happy. A cordial welcome awaits you here at all times. This is the "Strangers' Home". Come and see. WEST SIDE MISSION A.M.E. CHURCH Major G. W. Prioleau, Pastor The Missionary Society was entertained by Mrs. Sädie Harris, Denker Avenue, last Thursday. Splendid work was done by the ladies.

Guy, Pastor Splendid services were held at this Church last Sunday. Sunday School was very well attended, and presented the appearance of progress. At the morning services the pastor spoke from the text: "Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is a reasonable service." The audience was large and gave splendid attention, and visitors and others expressed appreciation of the services. One person came forward and united with the church. Both endeavors had good lessons. At night Rev. Redden preached from the text, "Why sit we here till we die." The mixed audience gave earnest attention to all that was said and done. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Gor. 33rd and Hooper Avenue M. Frederick Mitchell, Pastor Sunday, Monday and Tuesday were eustanding days in the life of our church work. Sunday morning Prof. P. H. Moss brought us a message that will linger long in our mind. It was indeed a wonderful effort." Sunday evening the regular services were dispensed with and the whole evening was given to the S. S. Institute, closing the Institute Tuesday evening. The interest of those who were present the first evening was so gripped that all with the exception of a few were present each evening. Prof. Moss is truly a man with a message upon Religious Education. Prominent among those who attended from other churches were, Rev. W. E. Shaw, pastor A. M. E. Zion Church and several of his members; Prof. B. H. Graham; Rev. E. E. Lightner, Congregational pastor; Miss Mary Banks, teacher in city schools; Prof. C. A.

The Second Sunday was another great day at Phillips Chapel. The pastor preached morning, and evening. Three persons joined the church durinig the day. This church looks after its strangers and welcomes them to this church home. When you are looking for friends turn your attention to Phillips Chapel. Prof. R. M. Mitchell and his choir are still singing the gospel. They make their music a "specially". Gospel Sermons—Our pastor's sermons are full of thought and power. He is a great pulpiteer. He grips his audience with the gospel sermons, and cloquence. So powerful are his sermons that persons are converted words that persons are converted during the delivery of his address.

MONROVIA Monrovia is experiencing one of the greatest revivals in the history of the churches. Evangelist William Lewis is holding up the reputation which he sustained before he came here. The Shiloh A. M. E. Zion Church where he is now conducting a revival campaign, was filled to its capacity Sunday night, and the seating capacity of the church compares favorably with any other church in Southern California. Though the meeting has been on for three nights, thirteen have already been brought into the fold. Rev. R. N. Holt, moderator or the Western Baptist Association, together with quite a number of his members from Los Angeles, worshipped with the Second Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, the occasion of the afternoon meeting, being the installation of the officers of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. Rev. Mr. Holt preached the installation sermon. Mrs. Lucy Cheery, of Palm Avenue, who has been ill for some time, is able to be out again, to the delight of her many friends. Bishop L. W. Kyles, A. B., D. D. will preach at the Shiloh A. M. E. Zion Church, Sunday the 27th inst. three o'clock p., M. Bishop Kyles is one of America's greatest Negroes. Mrs. Susie H. Reed, 241 E. Huntington Drive, has been appointed deputy registrar of voters by Mr. Lyons, registrar of voters of Los Angeles County. Mrs. Reed is appointed for both Monrovia and Duarte. She served with credit in the same capacity in Los Angeles two years ago. Mr. Lyons was hopeful of having her work in that city again. Persons coming to Monrovia looking for homes to sue or rent would do well to buy S. U. H. Reed at 241 E. Huntington Drive. The political pot has begun to boil in Monrovia. City election in April is the reason. All of our race group should vote and be ready to put out or in men that will recognize our people in things that are reasonable. SAN DIEGO SAN DIEGO By A. L. Brown The home of the Raphael family was made to rejoice at the arrival of a ne whes of the house in the uersion of Robert Arthur Raphael, a son. The stork is quite busy around San Diego these days. Bethel Baptist Church notes by Raphael Phoenix—The Sunday School opened on time with a large attendance as usual. Bro. S. Annfstead, teacher, has something new in store each Sunday for the many children that attend. The Sunday School is second to none in San Diego. The morning service was good. Rev. Milton, of Oklahoma, preached. The attendance was fairly good with some visitors present. At the B. Y. P. U, the live wire of the church, as usual, the program is inspiring. Miss Gordon, the president, puts plenty of life in the union. Mr. Phoenix, the chairman of the program committee, has aunning way of improving his program by adding new people each Sunday evening. The evening service was good. Rev. Milon also preached. His text was found in Matt. 25:16, "Christ, The Champion Puglist", which was well demonstrated. A grand program has been arranged by Mr. Phoenix for next Sunday evening B. Y. P. U. which will begin at 6:00 o'clock sharp. Mrs. McCrady, a trained nurse who come to San Diego from Oakland, Cal. may be encouraged to live here. The writer finds Mrs. McCrady a business woman and she may surprise San Diego in the near future if she can find a suitable location. Household of Ruth will give a big chicken dinner at the home of Mrs. Martha Pirkles, Saturday evening. The Ruths are planning to send delegates to the Grand Lodge this year. More business for San Diego. Hayden & Hayden will open a new grocery store at 3031 Greeley Avenue. I am sure their ad dwill be found in the Eagle from time to time. Mr. W. H.

The First Street Baptist Church had its baptism on Sunday morning at Mount Zion Baptist Church. A great service was witnessed. Rev Thomas is doing big things at the First Church, and invites everyone to visit the various meetings. Rev. Venable, who has been stopping with Mr. and Mrs. Watts on 26th Street, is being shown a royal time while here. He preached at Mt. Zion Baptist Church Sunday morning and night to a large crowd. Before his address to the U. N. . A. Sunday he spent at least ten minutes trying to explain the wonderful dinner he was served at the Watts home. Mrs. Venable, who lives in Los Angeles, is a sister to Mrs. Watts. She accompanied Rev. Venable here and they will return to Los Angeles Thurs day. Quite a family reunion was manifested on their arrival here. Troup 16 captured the prize for hiking and endurance more than two years ago.

Swain & Swain to open a restaurant on the ninth of the month at 762 3rd Street Restaurant by name. The Eagle wishes them a success and will assure it if their add is read in The Eagle. The U. N. I. A. meeting at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church Sunday was a grand success. Rev. Venable was all that he was represented to be. He is the power behind the throne. The meeting was well attended, probably the best since the presence of Hon. Marcus Garvey. In referring to his address enought cannot be said. Rev. Venable, who lives in St. Louis, Mo. is well prepared to discuss anything and I am sure everyone would be glad to hear him in this lecture. Sunday he showed the real benefit of the Garvey movement to the race, and said it may be years before the value will be treasured, but he insisted that the time must come. He made the organization his strong point and referred to an incident which occurred in St. Louis to one of the beautiful girls of our race that was employed in a white doctor's office. The same occurs where, we send our girls to the various hotels as maids only to become the tools of white men, and we men, as he says are responsible for it by not standing together and building concerns of our own to employ them. He repeatedly asked when will the Negro wake up. He said that since the movement is not a back to Africa movement but its chief object was to organize the race and commercialize the African products and those who desired could unite with Africa, which the race will do in time. It also carries with it industrial ideas for our boys and girls. Rev. Venable highly comments on Garvey's vision to organize the race and has had to suffer as did Christ, our Savior, who redeemed his people. While Mr. Garvey was thrown behind the bars he is not discouraged, and while in prison, he continued to cry freedom of the race. And the ones for whom he was being punished were damning his soul. But God is in the plan and as you live he will redeem the Negro race, and only through Garvey's method. Every nation or race has its governent except the Negro, who at present seems contained with conditions that surround him. The question that confronts the whole world today is, "Will the Negro race ever amount to anything?" Will we learn ever to adopt leadership? The program that preceded the speaker was timely and well received. The U. N. I. A. hymn was lead by the lady president. The house was led in prayer by Mr. Denny, a strong U. N. I. A. member and race man. After another song two omnite talks were made by many prominent men. Rev. Dyson was the first to be called upon, then Pre. J. B. Wilkinson made an interesting talk on the need of the race, Mrs. C. E. Norwood, Mistress of Ceremonies kept the eyes of the people open by the manner in which she conducted the program and the poem which she read, was the Giant oak dedicated to Garvey, and took the house. Everybody left pleased with what they had seen and heard, and many new members were added to the local branch, and many expressed a desire to become members. SANTA BARBARA Sunday was an ideal day and a number of visitors from nearby towns were in the city. Mr. Ed Mays, of Bantwia was in the city. Both churches were well attended. At the Second Baptist, Rev. H. B. Thomas, pastor, and St. Paul A. M. E. Rev. C. A. Harris, Pastor. It being the first Sunday, Second Baptist started early Sunday morning in the Sunday School service and closed at night with praise service and communion. One member was admitted to the church. The Sunday School of Second Baptist will give a valentine dinner. February 14th, consisting of Virginia baked ham and all the dressing that belongs to a dinner of that kind. On each day of the month at 4:45 a.m. at Starlight band of 2nd Baptist Church is continuing to have very interesting meetings at the home of the directress, Mrs. H. J. Stewart.

Carr is a new arrival in our city and is stopping at the home of his niece, Mrs. J. D. Stewart. There is always a distant echo of wedding bells among the younger set, and methinks it is ringing loudest around Second Baptist Sunday School. The Santa Barbara Choral Society, composed of colored folk, made a decided hit in their initial performance before the public at recreation center last Sunday afternoon.

Dever, Democratic chief executive of the Windwily, showed his hand last week by personally supervising the fight to banney showing here of "The Birth of Nation". He appointed the Hon. Prod. L, Ickes, 1912 Roosevelt leader and one of Senator Hiram Johnson's sponsors as special counsel to the regularly appointed legal aides of the city. Mr. Ickes has been for years a member of the board of the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. His son is one of the ardent boosters of tennis in Chicago and absolutely without blas or the snobbish tendencies of some millionaire in his own right. The future Chicago will be in the secure hands of the coming generation of Ickes, Amour, Wrigleys, Dawes, Swifts and McCormicks. SENATOR JOHNSON MAKES MASTER STROKE OF HIS CAM PAIGN OF THE WEST Designates Hon. Harold L. Ickes Personal friend of Theodore Roosevelt and conspicuous member of the executive board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People his personal representative and Illinois campaign manager. Chicago. Feb. 6—Senator Hiram Johnson, leading candidate for the Republican nomination, has dispelled every scintilla of doubt as to his rightful accession to the confidence of the colored people of America in the appointment of Honorable Harold L. Lickes, millionaire philanthropist and bosom friend of the late Theodore Roosevelt. Only this week while the respective managers of the Johnson campaign were paying homage to their chief at a banquet Tuesday afternoon at the Internationally famous hotel Drake, on Lake Shore Drive, Harold L. Lickes was representing the City of Chicago as special counsel with Corportion Counsel Francis X. Bush in Jude Sullivan's court, master of chancery, pleading for the enforcement of the Jackson law barring the "Birth of a Nation" from any exhibition in Chicago in spite of the great pressure of the Ku Klux Klan for opportunity to incite another race riot. For those of us who have learned to expect even to find some of our once designated Republican friends, leaders in the Ku Klux Klan it is nothing less than miraculous to find a white citizen of enviable reputation, like Foraker of old, going on before the respected courts of our land in defense of the interests of the poor colored citizen against public sentiment and the organized forces of prejudice, and race hatred. Harold L. Ickes, Chicago's leading humanitarian, who has never even sought public office has not been satisfied to contribute to our institutions but he has personally busied himself in the race's interests as a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for years. Mr. Ick's advent into the councils of Senator Hiram Johnson's campaign will assure the colored people of the Roosevelt "Square Deal." DEAR READERS:—The Jackson statute which is a part of the Illinois State Law, was especially framed by Alderman Major R. R. Jackson, a colored man, while in the State Legislature to prohibit just such pictures as the "Birth of a Nation". It is a great step forward to have prominent white citizens protect our own by laws written by colored men. Miss Elizabeth Perry entertained in honor of Miss Nadine Redmond, a graduate of the Senior High School, class of February, 1924, with an elab- orate luncheon Saturday afternoon The guests were: Misses Nadine Red- mand, Ruth Addison, Marjory Vernon, Julia Mercer, and Matilda Kitchley. Mrs. Winters is in the hospital for an operation. Her friends hope for a successful outcome. COLONEL ALBERT A. PRAGUE MILLIONAIRE CHICAGO COMMIS- SIONER Says he is not a Politician—Publicly Declares he Will Work and Vote for DYER ANTI LYNCHING BILL To Address All Race Conference By Edgar C. Brown First and exclusive interview to col- ored Press Chicago, Feb. 8. "Congressman Dyer has overcome in his federal bill to abolish the uncivilized practice of lynching all the objections of the 'pussyfooters' who hide behind constitutional law, state rights et al." declared the millionaire Republican candidate on the Democratic ticket of Illinois for United States Senator to succeed Senator Medill McCormick the man who went to Europe when the Dyer bill came up before the Senate. "I am unalterably opposed to mob rule, and if elected as Illinois Senate I will not only vote, but work for the passage of such necessary legislation. It is most apparent in the statistics of the causes given for lynching as set forth in the literature of the National Association, for the Advancement of Colored People, that the alleged usual crime of rape is only 2 per cent of the total number, and among the twenty-three last year, two of the lynching victims were women. The mask should be torn from all this smoke screen of misrepresentation. This heinous practice of hanging and burning human beings in this civilized country must stop! M. Dyer and the N.A.A.C.P. are rendering the country an inestimable service." Colonel Albert A. Sprague was one of the managers of the General Wood campaign in 1920. He is the trusted adviser of Mayor William E. Dever as his commisssioner of Public Works, which he accepted despite the duties of his own vast business interests. He is the true type of public servant like the great secretary of the treasury of the United States, the Hon. Andrew Mellon. He recently recommended the appointment of Attorney Earl B. Dickerson to the office of Assistant Corporation Counsel at a salary of $6,000 a year. Colonel Albert A. Sprague will share honors with Mayor William E. Dever in welcoming the delej.tes of the All Race Conference to Chicago. He is expected to reiterate his demands for a soldiers' bonus and his platform of America first. The story in the Chicago Defender saying that Attorney Offord was appointed Asst't Corporation Counsel is a misrepresentation. Earl B. Dickerson was appointed Asst't Corporation Counsel and Mr. Offord was appointed Asst't City Attorney. other City Administrators backed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and prominent colored Democrats investigated the facts and carried it thru.

Los Angeles Watts, Humboldt 3655-R BODY; ANYWHERE; ANYTIME DO IT"—EVERY Washington, Feb. 14.—Disregarding the urgent neccessity of enacting constructive legislation, the benefits of which will reach all of the people, the democrats are now demanding a Congressional investigation of conditions at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, because Frank J. Irwin, National Rehabilitation Chairman of the Disabled Veterans of the World War, complained to members of a committee that white and Negro patients are cared for in the same wards. An investigation made by W. S. Clark, Liaison representative of the fourth district of the Disabled Americans, revealed to him the horrifying fact that in one ward, where there were 26 white men, two Negroes occupied beds, and in another ward where there were 28 white men, two more Negroes occupied beds. It was found that a total of nine disabler Negro veterans were occupying beds in six different wards where their white "buddies" are being treated, and so shocking was this information to the Democratic members of Congress, who, since their failure to make the world "safe for Democracy", have been trying to make the United States safe for the democratic party, that Representative Wolf, of Missouri, introduced a typical democratic resolution one day last week, providing a full investigation of Walter Reed Hospital. What do the Democrats care about relieving the people from burdensome taxes if they can find anywhere, even in a government hospital, an excuse for harping on the color question? They should remember that these nine disabled colored veterans, who are occupying beds at the government hospital, are not nine depers from remote lands, but, rather, that they are nine American comrades who were maimed or otherwise disabled while fighting under the flag of their country. Surely there is a great deal of "home missionary" work to be done by Bishop Maguire, the leading colored Democrat, among the pagans of his political faith. And he should get on the job at once. RELIGIOUS VETERAN RETURNING TO L. A. THE WORLD'S FIRST WORLDWIDE BIBLE SERVICE Dr. A. J. Stokes, Poetress Pulpiter, Matchless Orator, and for forty years the untrammeled leader of the race comes to the pastorate of the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church, this city. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church in particular, and the Baptists in general, have a cause for great rejoicing. For in the cause of Dr. Stokes into our midst, we have a ripe scholar, an experienced leader in the practice and polity of the church such as in but few others. Dr. Stokes has been honored with every office in the gift of the National Baptist Convention. He is now the treasurer, and has been for a quarter of a century. Though a sexogenarian, he is the youngest, as well as the noblest Roman of them all. Dr. Stokes was a life-long friend of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and was his private curator in critical times, while building up the great Tuskegee Institute. Major Robert Russa Moton, head of Tuskegee, recognized the wisdom of Dr. Stokes, and had him elected to the board of trustees of the school. Dr. Stkes leaves one of the greatest churches in the South. Its membership is more than 5,000. Most of whom he added while in the pastorate or forty years. The Doctor is said to be one of the few Negro ministers who are wealthy. This is stating it mildly. Much time has been spent on two separate occasions in Palestine, when he explored the land made sacred by the life and death of Jesus Christ. These trips have added veneration, which is akin to the prophets. Through spending most of his time in the South among the prejudiced whites, still that unconquerable spirit and indomitable will have never been swerved from the highest interest of the people whom he served and successfully led, and this has endearced him to both races.
