The Afro-Americans of Los Angeles Demands the Clansman in Moving Pictures be Denied Admittance THE LEGISLATURE TAKES RECESS Volume 27 Well, the apparently harmless little Scott Assembly bill 299 is now in the hands of the committee on Ways and Means. The bill provides for a "polytechnic industrial institute" at Allenaworth, with its 255 inhabitants hungry for a $50,000 institute to house its scholastic population advertised at 40 pupils. I have had several opportunities to talk with both Assemblyman Scott and Mr. Overr. Mr. Scott is an approachable gentleman, but he did not impress me as being a philanthropist. I believe I have had my last talk with Mr. Overr, though I see him quite often from a distance. Mr. Overr, I would judge from my conversation with Assemblyman Scott has convinced him, and is busily engaged in "conversion work," that the great body of Negroes in California are just "hankering" after the Allenaworth polytechnic institute as a means of giving their aspiring youth an opportunity to become skilled mechanics. Mr. Scott informs me, and he speaks as one who has his view point: "I have received assurances from the South that many eminent educators of the colored race are very desirous that this bill be passed. They see the advantage it will be to their children." When he was informed that the forum, ministers' federations, and many other representative civic bodies of the colored race south and Los Angeles, were opposing all ideas along educational lines that point to ultimate segregation, he did not appear so well informed. But he did say "it is the privilege of those opposed to the measure to come before the committee and state their objections." He declares his bill is a wedge for racial discrimination. On the other hand, Mr. Overr continues to make his canvases on the score that the only opposition to the bill comes from a non-representative body called the forum and the great bulk of the colored race want the school, as they feel they need it. So there it is. The State at this time, in a period of financial stringency, will hardly agree to vote $50,000 to boom real estate in Allenaworth. The race in Southern California will find that the race in this end of the State will aid them in pulling down the black flag of race exploitation that the "professional Negroes" of Tulare county is trying so hard to unfurl in this State. LABOR AND CAPITAL; NOT CAPITAL AND LABOR Put labor first and then you have what came from the open committee session of that name, held on the evening of the 25th, in the Assembly Chamber. The occasion was first to report on a bill providing for a more sanitary retainer for cement, to be furnished by the manufacturers of cement, to protect the health of men working in vessels and trains, loading and unloading cement. The bill is known as the Cement Retainer Bill. Assemblyman F. H. Mouser spoke effectively in favor of the bill and by a very apt system of interrogatories, calculated to bring out the weak points of the opponents of the bill. The Cement Manufacturers were very ably supported. Walter A. McDonald, chairman of the committee, lead the forces Here is the Allensworth School Bill. or the bill, he showed himself to be a sincere plain speaking leader of men, an able tactician, a master in debate. He demonstrated he knew how to safeguard the laboring man's interests, and to be the match for the ablest lawyers arrayed against the passage of any law likely to cost the corporations the expenditure of unusual sums to lighten the labor of labor, and insure the health of the laborer. After a heated discussion, pro and con, that lasted until midnight, bill was reported on favorably by the committee, by a good majority. But there was to come. A bill relating to spotters and detectives on trains and in connection with all other public service corporations, giving the accused an opportunity of being faced with his accuser, and having the specific charge against said employee proved, by actual evidence. Here was where. ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 299 Introduced by Mr. F. C. Scott, January 18, 1915 Referred to Committee on Ways and Means Te Establish the Allensworth Polytechnic Institute in the County of Tulare and Making an Appropriation Therefor. The people of the State' of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. There is hereby established in the county of Tulare, at or near the town of Allensworth, a school to be known as the Allensworth Polytechnic Institute. The purposes of this school is to furnish to young people of both sexes mental and manual training in the arts and sciences, including agriculture, mechanics, engineering, business methods, domestic economy, and such other branches as will fit the students for the non-professional walks of life. This act shall be liberally construed, to the end that the school established hereby may at all times contribute to the industrial welfare of the State of California. ASSEMBLYMAN CHARLES W. LYON One of the most useful and popular men, both in committee and on the floor of the House, presided as chairman of the Labor and Capital Committee and showed the mettle of the man. Never losing his patience with the protestants against the bill, ruling impartially but firmly, with an array of able defenders of the laboring man's interests on the floor, this bill too was reported back to the Assembly favorably. My attention was very pleasantly called to this young solon at the beginning of this snort session, when I heard him in a group of Senators and Assemblymen, pay I considered a very high compliment to the integrity of a member of the race. Venice and Santa Mohica are in Mr. Lyon's assembly district, and he spoke with elation when he said, "I tell you I have found any number of Colored voters in my district, that you just can't pay them for, 'political service.' They vote on their convictions. In my town is a colored man by the name of J, Allen Beese, he is a barber and a first class mechanic, I offered to defray his expense in a matter that was of special interest to the success of my candidacy. His answer was spartan, "I don't want any of your money, I'm for you in this fight, because I know you to be a worthy man for this community and my race to support'." Sec. 2. Within thirty days after this act goes into effect the Governor shall appoint five persons, who, with the Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction, shall constitute the board of trustees of said school. Sec. 3. The said trustees, as provided for in section two of this act, are hereby appointed and created trustees of said Allensworth polytechnic institute with full power and authority to select a site for the permanent location of said school. Said trustees shall, within ninety days after the passage of this act, examine the different sites offered by the people of Tulare county for the location of said school; and the site selected by them shall be and remain the permanent site for said school. But no money shall be expended for or on said site, until a deed in fee simple has been made for land so selected to the State of California. What tickles me about this particular session of the Forty-First Legislation, it is thoroughly progressive, even the most ultra party men are gracefully doing progressive politics, they are passing human measures. This is the spirit of Progressiveism, it is not merely in the name. The passage of the non partisan bill will be the capstone and the rule of the people will be complete in the State of California. Mrs. A. Hooker, 1443 West 36th street, entertained at dinner last gaturday in honor of Mrs. Miller of Kansas City, Kansas, nieces of Samuel Taft. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Kelly, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gamble, Mrs. Miller and Mr. Taft. PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES BEYOND Mr. Henry Ballenger, who was born in Georgia in 1833, and who resided for indefinite periods in the states of Georgia, Alabama, Texas and California respectively died last Monday at his home on East Ninth Street. Having come to Los Angeles from Texas about thirty years ago and being a first-class cement contractor, Mr. Ballenger leaves his footprints on some of the biggest and oldest structures in this city. For at the time he came Los Angeles was still in its infancy. Even through he was born and grew up in the land and age of Afro-American slavery, Henry Ballenger was never a slave, freed from that condition by the lineage of his Caucasian mother. In his verbal autobiography Mr. Ballenger often related that it was through his own efforts that he remained a free man, and strenuous was the fight he had to make at all times, to retain his freedom, and to purchase the freedom of Miss Lucille-Willis, who afterwards became his wife, and the mother of his two daughters, Lucille and Georgia. Mr. Ballenger was a liberal thinker, but a fearless fighter when the interest of his race was at stake. Fine of features and strong in body, he was naturally an intellectual giant, though his educational advantages were meagre. It was interesting to watch the light of passion and sympathy that came and went as his enthu- MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE By Editor Bass of The California At last Tuesday's meeting of the Minisers' Alliance, J. 3. Bass, editor of this journal, was the speaker of the day. He chose for his subject "The Ministry and the Press," and formed comparisons as to the part these two great agencies are taking and should take in the great work to be accomplished for good. At the conclusion of the address they paid the speaker the high compliment by unanimously adopting address in its entirety as the sentiment of the Alliance. Tuesday's meeting was largely attended, several delegations of ladies were in attendance and had hearings before them. Also the Allensworth school proposition came up for action, the coning picture show of "The Clansman," and the observance of Lincoln Day. Sec. 4. The term of office of the trustees shall be four years, except that, in appointing the first board of trustees, the Governor shall appoint two members for 1 year, one for two years, one for three years, and one for four years. They shall be governed and regulated by the laws governing and regulating the normal schools of this State, in so far as the same are applicable to an institution of this kind. Chas. E. Toney, successful Negro attorney of New York, on last Friday won suit in discrimination case for members of the race. What is accomplished along this line in New York can be done in Los Angeles. Sec. 5. The sum of fifty thousand dollars is hereby appropriate out of the moneys belonging to the state not otherwise appropriated, for the purchase of a site, the construction and furnishing of the necessary buildings, and the maintenance of said school. Maj. John R. Lynch says he attributes his success in life to the fact that he was never afraid to die. We would that we had many more like him. If we had we believe the Negro of America would not suffer the indignities which he does today. Sec. 6. The Csntroller of the State is hereby authorized to draw warrants from time to time as the work shall progress, in favor of said board of trustees, upon their requisition for the same, and the State Treasurer is directed to pay the same. Sec. 7. The moneys hereby appropriated shall be expended under the direction of the said board of Last Thursday evening at Washington and Central hall was the scene of a historical event for the Knights and Daughters of siasm ebbed and flooded, as when he related his experiences in the days of American slavery and his fight against the unions for admittance or a chance on the outside to secure honorable employment in his profession for the support of his family. As a churchman he linked his hope with the Salvation army, because their methods of doing religious service appealed to his democratic ideas of service to others. Only those who approached Henry Ballenger in the wee days of this life, when his frailty of bodily, age prohibited him from being active in politics, society and church, realize what an illustrious character he was, for as his physical strength failed, his intellect brightened. His life is an inspiration to the early settlers and a guide to new comers. His wife having died about twelve years ago, also his eldest daughter, Miss Georgia Ballenger, who for seven years was a school teacher in the state of Texas, he leaves only one daughter, Mrs. Lucile Kemp, and her two daughters and one son to mourn his loss. Mrs. Kemp has always been a faithful daughter, and was with her daughter, with her arms entwined about his neck when he passed out. "For the soul is dead that slumbers" cannot be said of Henry Ballenger. Tabor. On this occasion a Temple and Tabernacle with forty or fifty new members were installed in New Bulah Tabernacle. Enthusiasm ran wild among the members of the order, who are determined to make this one of the best in the state. Sir W. B. Rich and his co-workers are together in their efforts to do good. In our special Lincoln anniversary number we plan to give a vivid history of the order. THE PRENTICE NEW IDEA STORE. It is simply an idea of what could be done by concentrated effort. Less than four years ago Mr. and Mrs. Prentice started a little store on Ninth street with less than $100.00 worth of stock. Today they are sole proprietors of the two largest dry goods stores owned and operated by Colored people in Southern California—one on Ninth street, not far from Central, the other at Third and Rose. It is needless to say anything about support, for it you have any pride, whether race or otherwise, you will lend your support. Latest News. On our way to press we received the sad news of the death of James Johnson, an old settler of Los Angeles. He was prominent in church circles and a strong personality. His funeral services will take place Monday at Mount Zion Baptist Church. We are in receipt of excellent reports from Mt. Zion. It is said that Rev. and Mrs. J.T. Hill have joined hands and hearts to accomplish much good at Zion. 31 South Fair Oaks avenue BRENNEL Respon Brenwood Cl 37 North Raymond avenue ATS NNER & W BRENNER & WOOD Responsible For Good Clothes of C mond avenue Brenwood Clothes of Quality MEN'S FURNISHINGS LEXNER Phone Colorado 7100 Balloon Dye Works All Work Called For and Delivered Promptly Gents' Suits 75c Steam or Dry Cleaned Ladies' Suits $1.00 121 W.

WEAVER THE STAR ICE CREAM COMPANY Makers of and Dealers in PURE ICE CREAM AND SHERBET ICE FOR SALE 1534 East 14th St., Los Angeles Men fighting for it under the cavor by wanting to confer with Assemblyman Fred C. Scott of Tulare, who has the bill in charge. Mr. Scott in an interview said that he believed that separate schools are essential to the welfare of the Negro, yet some of the colored people who want to teach school say, this thing of segregation is only a nightmare; but just as soon as these schools begin to run you will find that it is a race horse, with the first barn built at Allensworth. Read the Chronicle and the Sacramento Union and see what they say about it. Did you ever think about it: that all trains leaving Los Angeles for the East go through San Bernardino, but when they reach the end one of them is in New Orleans, one in New York and the other one in Chicago. Some of them run over other lines; some of them through Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. We will say to those people who are not satisfied with our schools, why don't you go back South where you can have your Jim Crow school. We had some of this same kind of trouble some time ago with one Mr. Simms in Los Angeles. Now it springs up in Allensworth, where the population is less than 300. There are only 40 pupils, and they have two teachers and a nice school house. They say that there will be no separate school law enacted this session, and if this kind of ambition, like that at Allensworth keeps up, we will soon have Jim Crow schools. Do you remember how the Japanese fought that segregation school bill and we were threatened with war by Japan? Let us not seek to separate our schools that some of our friends may benefit by it. It is strange to say that when this same thing came up some time ago they were opposed to it, but now they favor it. There is something wrong somewhere. Does Allensworth need a school of that kind? While perhaps it was Col. Allensworth ambition to have the school there, I notice he did stay there; he did not die there; and he was not buried there. Allensworth is an agricultural colony and not an educational center, and ninety per cent. of the colored people at Pasadena are opposed to the so-called segregated school. LOCALS. Mrs. Mary Gatewood received a telegram a few days ago from Kentucky, telling of the death of her sister-in-law. Which is the larger, Allensworth or the State of California? It is time to act when your people lose sight of the race for personal ambition? Assemblyman H. J. Fish and Senator W. J. Carr of Pasadena will vote against the Scott segregation school bill, although Mr. Scott says it would be best for the Negro to have separate schools. The greatest address delivered Sunday was by Rev. A. C. Williams, pastor of the Providence Institutional Church, against the segregation school at Allensworth. Mrs. W. F. Bland and her little son Frank, of Butte, Mont., is stopping at Mrs. Sarah Robert's, at 955 South Fair Oaks ave. Mrs. Bland expects to spend the winter in this city. She is a woman of some ability, and for a number of years was connected with her husband in the newspaper business, and she will be quite an addition to Pasadena society. After the great victory was won by the late editor J. L. Edmonds in saving Edward Silver from hanging after he had shot to kill an officer in San Bernardino. The Forum attended a banquet at Dawson's restaurant, where covers were laid for 100. This was during the administration of Mr. Thomas A. Cole, who was president at the time of Edward Silver's trial. At the banquet President Cole sat at one end of the table and the late editor J. L. Edmond was at the other end. President T. A. Coles' administration will go down in history as the greatest of the forum. Mr. Cole was president two terms, but his last was his best and they wanted him to run again but he refused to become a candidate. We would like to have such a man for president. So let us groom some man for the place. We are sorry to learn that Mr.Cole will leave in a few days for the East, for an indefinite stay. Mrs. E. A. Baldwin Entertains Mrs. E. A. Baldwin entertained last Friday afternoon in honor Mrs D. G. Saunders of New York City to a tea which was largely attended. The house was prettily decorated in colors and carnations. In the evening she entertained in honor of Mr. Milton Saunders, son of Mrs. D. G. Saunders, at which the young folks were out in full force, it was a great afternoon and evening over 200 guests were in attendance. All left voting Mrs. Baldwin the queen of hostesses.

Is it possible that Los Angeles will lower its dignity as one of the leading American cities by al- Jowing even the picture play o! the “Clansman,” a picture in fic: tion that lowers the standard in the eyes of the people of the mor- al dignity of six millions of its faithful citizens by one Thomas Dixon, whose ability as a moderr fiction writer has dwindled in in- significance in the eyes of the American people, because of his petty prejudices, hurled at a struggling people only fifty-two years.up from slavery. The American Negro has ever been ready to protect and defend the rights and interests of Ameri- cans. For more than three hun- dred years the Negroes of this country have been demonstrating a spirit of ready service withou' any hope of returns. But like ev- ery story or condition there is a erisis. And this is the chapter o: Negro history that we are facing in this country today. States and legislatures must reckon with the Negro as a com: ponent part of its citizenship. The Negroes of Los Angele: ‘Pave said that inasmuch as the “Clansman” serves as an agency to stir up race hatred, and further inasmuch as it has been denied admittance by many of the North- ern and Southern cities of this country, we demand that it be de- nied theatrical recognition in Los Angeles. : HON. C._W. FAIRBANKS FOR PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. Ex. Vice-President Chas. W. Fairbanks of Indiana, who is spending she winter in our county at Pasadena, is being prominently mentionéd ss the Republican standard bearer for 1916. Now there is hardly any question of the next President of this country be- ing a republican; the people have certainly had this time an over- dose of democracy and are impa- tient marking time te vote out free trade and incompetency. And in looking over the field the Hon- orable ex-Vice President would fill this position to the utmost. Hi record as vice-prerident snd his loyalty to the principles of the pro fective tariff and his stand ass _misn-for'sll-of the people are high. ly appreciated by all, and he wil ‘be a strong conten der for this. higt office with the great masses of ou: _sitizenship if:case, that he-sbal eteng for the nomination, =. ‘Mayor Rose owes his election to square deal, no special privileges; 80 while the: races: G eee intpeace'and harmony, we ‘trust as mayor he ,will see fit to bar from our city the production of ‘the clansman. jin any fofm. © It.bas been barred) in all-of our” large eastern cities, and in the very Gouth itself, on the ground of in- citing race prejudice, and we trust that it shall meet a like fate here. The Negro vagrant politicians just as well get themselves job sas the Negro press will show them up if they attempt fo put on anything in fature campaigns. We: advise them to get a job or do something, before they go around telling peo- ple what they should do; these parasites area blot and disgrace they have got by long enough. We shall from now on show them up. + The colored citizens should by all means call a monster mass meeting and enter a vigorous pro- test against the indignities which are being heaped upon us at this ‘time, the clansman and the jitney ‘busses putting in vogue Jim Crow rule should recéive a knock-out blew. And itis up to the people to make the first move against these evils. Supervisor’ Norton has -been « staunch friend to the colored citi- zens, It was through his efforts that colored help has been em. ployed at the county hospital, and he has indicated his intention to further give them recognition along other lines. He has always received from them a strong sup- port. | The efforts of our local Negro Business league to become « factor for the advancement of our people in this community should receive every encouragement, and all of - people who stand for progress should put their shoulders to the | wheel to further its success. It President Wilson sits eupine- ly by and without protest allowed ‘thé Mexican bandits to murder American citizens, he could not be expected to protest against the wholesale lynchinge that are now being perpetrated in Georgia, Ala- bama and Louisiana. - Our people should take great pride and interest in the Lincoln and Douglass birthday exercises to be given in this city during next month: | ‘rhe law makers have recessed at Sacramento, and are now going to their respective homes for 30 days ‘to hear from the people. es The Allensworth school has been side tracked temporarily at least, for s fight to keep the clansaman from showing here, : If. the clansman shows here it ‘means prejudice will be so thick that you cannot cut it with a knife, : Other evils may come or go, but we still have the jitney buse with us. . Well it’s not so much hard times ‘It is simply democratic times. - —_— MORE PLACES we 2 , “FOR NEGROES R. C.

A GREAT BOOK ON THE NEGRO QUESTION By Prof. Charles Alexander Every reader of this journal should have a copy of "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth," the great book just published by Sherman, French & Company of Boston, Mass., written by Prof. Charles Alexander of Los Angeles, California. This wonderful book contains the narrative of the life of Colonel Allen Allensworth, who rose from the lowest levels of degradation in slavery to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Regular Army of the United States, the highest rank yet attained by a colored man; and it also contains the history of the Negro race from the beginning of the slave trade in the United States up to the present time. This book is written in the most fascinating style, with bits of moral philosophy and sound wisdom, altogether admirable. It is intensely interesting to readers of every class. It is one of the really great books on the Negro question—a most valuable contribution to our historical literature. Orders sent to Prof. Charles Alexander, 502 Thorpe Building, Los Angeles, California, will be given prompt attention. The book contains over 400 pages and sells for $1.70 postage prepaid. Books of this kind usually sell for $3.00. Agents wanted. OUR PRESIDENT AND VICE By Eva Carter Buckner.

Murray is one of our hustling young business men who is rapidly forging his way to the front ranks of Los Angeles business men. He came to this city some years ago from Atlanta, Georgia, and has been among those in this section who has always kept pegging away to do something worth while to accentuate the business spirit with profit and credit not only to himself but to the community as well. At one time he owned a string of shining stands located in various parts of the city. He was named King of the Bootblacks. But being of a more ambitious turn of mind he sought to establish a more pretentious business an dopened the Murray Pocket Billiard Emporium, and Cigar Stand on East 9th street near Central avenue, which place he has conducted with a marked degree of success. So it can be seen the possibilities in store for a young man who sticks to business. Mr. Murray was born in Atlanta about 28 years ago, where he was reared and attended the public schools of that city, and as we have said, came to this city where, owing to his sober and industrious habits, honest and just methods of dealing with his many patrons and with an intelligent application to business has brought to himself a large following of friends and an enviable standing with the business world. Murray and his high class way of doing things is indeed a credit to his race. He is the secretary of the great Colored Workingmen's Club of $1520\frac{1}{2}$ East 9th street, and the conduct of this establishment for our workmen is entrusted largely to him, they having faith in his judgment and his absolute honor and integrity. This is an organization that is conducted absolutely in a way different from the usual social club. It is for the convenience of the men that toil and no other than workingmen are sought as members. They have a board of directors composed of leading citizens who meet regularly on each Monday evening and go over the affairs of the organization, and this board insists that the club be kept up to a high standard, and Mr. Murray as its secretary sees to it that the mandates of the board are carried out to the letter. The membership is more than eight hundred and on occasions of meetings or rallies given by the club no hall in the city where our people meet is large enough to seat the crowds which they have been able to draw. It will be remembered in the last campaign that this organization through the efforts of Mr. Murray gave absolutely the greatest meeting of any held during the campaign at Central hall, where all of the notable politicians gathered with J. B. Bass, editor of The Eagle presiding Mr. Murray has associated with him as president of the club, Mr. Bradford Norman, one of our young mechanics who is a finished blacksmith and who until recently, conducted a shop on East 9th street, and many others who space will not permit us to mention.
