Mavbeth, Lissner Building, Los Angeles. My dear Mr. Macbeth: Just received your very courteous letter. Sorry I cannot be with you on July 7th at your "Over the Top" meeting. I have no doubt it will prove a tremendous success for three reasons: First—The brains, enthusiasm and character of men like yourself, Troy Littlejohn and associates I met in my office some weeks ago are certain to carry you "Over the Top." Secondly—You are acquiring a ranch; a principality if you please; of wonderful possibilities. Thirdly—You are going into a new but near-by country of unexcelled climate, soil and natural advantages and you will be unhampered by race prejudice. In a word, you will be left free to work out your own destiny in a country smiled upon by God Social, industrial and intellectual Freedom await you. May you all put together and succeed together as you so richly deserve to do! Sincerely your friend, JOHN P.

Prof. McKinney will show many feats in Ledgedonian that looks seemingly impossible; some of them which will be manipulations of pigeons from flames of fire and water illusions, and the double trunk mystery. Mr. and Mrs. Jalvan, one of our greatest juggling acts, who have played before Kings and Queens in Europe and Asia will do some wonderful and mystifying stunts which are great Oriental acts everywhere in the theatrical world.

Mrs. Lorenza JordonCole, Los Angeles' very own favorite pianist is in our midst, and on Wednesday evening August 6th, will appear in Piano Recital at the People's Independent Church of Christ, Cor. 18th and Paloma Avenue. Portland. Mrs. Cole's late home, has gone wild over her execution as a piano player, the daily papers and magazines of Portland and surrounding towns have been lavish in their praise of Mrs. Cole; and now all MRS. LORENZA JORDAN-COLE Los Angeles is on tip-toe to enjoy the same treat and sing the same songs of praise. Mrs. Rosa Wotten is presenting Mrs. Cole. Following is a part of a clipping from the Portland Star: But that the Negro's sense of music may assume intellectual sturdiness, is not so generally known, and it was that quality which Lorenza Jordon-Cole conjoined with emotional fervor spiritual exaltation and rhythmic vigor last night in her debut recital given at the Fine Arts Hall where she was presented by her teacher, Marie Cashweiler, before a large audience. Her Bhrams' G minor Rhapsodie was the opening offering and placed as though to assert at the very beginning of her professional career, Miss Cole's musical mentality and fine sanity. It is true that she emphasized the romantic elements of the composition to an extent that rendered Brahms at times, almost as sensuously appealing as Chopin, but a feeling for structure, form and the relation of the parts to the whole was dominant throughout. Brillance and power in the Leschetizky octave intermezzo with firmness in the rapid octave phases; less of croppes in the Liszt 'Waldesauchen' as though the Lesgetizky number had exhausted the player's wrists; a too vigorous interpretation of Debusy's 'Jardin sois la Pluie'; a charming performance of MacDowell's wayward 'Rigaudon' and a vigorous, though not always clear presentation of Chopin's Polonaise in F sharp minor, were elements and offerings that stamped the young Negress as an authentic artist. Of the two Negro folk songs, the first was splendidly the best, reflecting the passionate protest and spiritual revolt of souls harassed, superstitious, brilliantly played. but crowned superbly with faith. This work. "I'm Troubled in My Mind," an arranged by Coleridge Taylor, is nothing less than a rhapsodie wrought to the point of fine frenzy.

A crowd which taxed the capacity of the hall was present for the occasion, some of them came to do honor to the president elect, some came out of their usual devotion to this civic body, some came to see the circus, these last ones were sadly disappointed for they saw indeed a dignified and highly creditable beginning of the term of office of the man who never quits, J.

Notwithstanding the hot weather our Sunday School was well attended last Sunday. The Superintendent's remarks on the Doctrines of the Baptist Church were well received and considered very timely. At the 11 o'clock service there was manifestly quite an out-pouring of the Holy Spirit as the people expressed themselves as the children and servants of God. Many joined the Church at the close, and a beautiful baptismal service concluded the most delightful worship. The Lord's Supper was observed at night, and the hand of fellowship was given to new members Mr. E. W. Layton, President of the Womens National Baptist Convention is coming here on or about the 27th and deliver a lecture Monday the 28th in one of our churches. She will be in San Diego Wednesday the 30th at Pasadena Friday the 1st; at San Bernardino, Monday the 4th; and at Bakersfield, Tuesday the 9th. Mrs. Layton is the biggest woman of the race and we rightly hope that all the people will give her the best welcome and the most kindly treatment of the West. Arrangements are now on foot for her visit among us. Two large congregations worshiped at Wesley Sunday. The pastor's morning seton on "The Dedicated Life" was one of unusual power. Three persons were added to the church. Brother Stout reports good services at the Pullman Mission. There was one conversion. Our July Day is this Sunday. The effort will take the form of a State Day: Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, California, and many other states are well organized for the effort. Brothers J. A. Jackson, Captain of Texas; Leonard Greene, Captain of Louisiana; Dr. Leonard Stovall, Captain of Georgia; and Brother O. S. Stout; Captain of the other States are determined to lead. The number present from each state will be counted. Let us see which state will have out the largest number at the services.

The Silent Processional to Rubenstein's Melody in F was an impressive introduction to the Sacramental service at this church last Sunday morning. Brother Emmanuel Hall sang "He Lifted Me," with so much spiritual fervor that the large congregation felt the lifting power of God and sat in happy expectancy for the sermon by Rev. N. P. Greggs. He chose as his theme "The Ministry of Suffering," taken from St. Luke 24:26, and step by step led to greatness, greatness of spirit, comes the realization of the truth that real only thru sorrow and affliction; that we may use affliction and sorrow as rungs to the ladder by which we climb to God, for thru much affliction we must enter into the kingdom of God, and if we would share the glory of our Master we must also share his sorrow, because thru suffering he entered into his glory. The choir, directed by Rev. Greggs, as usual, inspired and enthused the congregation with its singing. Collection for the morning, $165. 78. FIRST A. M. E.

The past sabbath was indeed a day of rejoicing at this church. At 3 p.m. the Presiding Elder was represented by Dr. S. M. Beane who preached for him in his 4th and last quarterly meeting, the preacher seemed to have been at his best, and preached an excellent sermon to the satisfaction of all his hearers and many shouts of joy were heard. Rev. R. House assisted by the brthren present consecrated and administered the Holy Communion. The churches were well represented through their pastors. At the evening hour the Rev. G. W. Bussey of Paradena brought us another highly spiritual message to the satisfaction of all. Sunday was also the opening of our financial drive to raise our quota for the year, all who have soliciting cards or books may turn them in as fast as possible. The big church had its first rehearsal Tuesday evening, with a large number present. I desire to thank the churches who are rallying to our assistance in this effort.

Regular services Sunday, July 15th All are welcome to our services. HAMILTON M. E. CHURCH Cor. 18th St. and Naomi Avenue Rcv. S. M. Beame, Pastor. Sunday was a glorious day at Hamilton. The Sunday School held its session at the regular hour, ninethirty. It being the first Sunday in the month it was Centenary day, and the pupils paid their Centenary pledges. The lesson was profitable. The pastor preached a helpful and instructive sermon from the subject "Despised and Rejected," at the morning hour. This discourse was thoroughly enjoyed by those who heard it. The Commission of the Lord's Supper was administered at the close of sermon. This sacred and solemn service made a profound impression upon those present. The pastor preached a very interesting sermon at Ward Chapel A. M. E. Church at three o'clock in the afternoon, from the subject, "The Joys of the Christian Life." The night service was uninteresting in the extreme, the pastor taking as his subject, "Consideration of Christ." His sermon was a plea for a greater consideration of Jesus and less of dogmas and doctrine. You are invited to worship at this church and you will always find a cordial welcome. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRIGATIONAL CHURCH— 34th St. and Centra Avenue E. E. Lightner, Pastor. "He preached unto them, Jesus." Acts 17.18, was the text used by the pastor as he spoke to the splendid audience assembled on last Sunday morning. Sergt. Luther T. Snow of the 25th Infantry, was accepted into the membership of the Church, following which a large crowd of members and friends partook of the Lord's Supper. The vocal solo by Miss Juanita Patton was a work of art and a benediction to all present. The evening service the pastor gave the third in a series on "The Messages to the Churches of Asia." Quite a nice sum was added to the rally fund, which was continued. This Sunday will be of special interest. The pastor will occupy the pulpit morning and evening. Morning subject: "What eest Thou;" Evening, "Fourth in Series, Messages to the Churches." Come where a hearty welcome awaits you. Christian Endeavor, 7 p. m. Topic: "Our Denominational History and Principles," Ps. 44: 1-8; meeting led by pastor.—All welcome. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST— (Holiness) Hooper Ave. and East Adams St. Elder Wm. A. Washington, Pastor The past Sunday was a glorious day at Bethel Sunday School; it was well attended and had a profitable session. At the morning hour the pastor delivered a wonderful sermon, Text, St. John 9:23. The message was indeed edifying and very helpful. The manifestation of the Holy Spirit was made known in power and demonstration. Holiness is not a doctrine nor a theological expression, but a state of being—"Be ye holy for I am holy." Nor is salvation merely the joining of the church, but a reality to the man or woman who has been born again. At this service we were blessed with two conversions and one accession to the membership. At 7 p. m. three persons—precious sbuls—were baptized At 8 p. m. the pastor delivered another helpful and inspired message Text, Acts 2:5-8. At this service seats were not available for all present.

The Sunday School was very well attended and the delegates from the Convention at Riverside brought in a very satisfactory and pleasing report. Instead of the usual covenant meeting at the morning services, our pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon on "The Church—its life and work." At the close of this wonderful sermon, two of God's children united themselves with us. The pledges were filled nicely as the members responded with the tenth of their earnings for the month of June, beside their regular dollar for the first Sunday. The B. Y. P. U. is progressing rapidly under the new method adopted by having the lesson taught in classes. The total collection for the day was one hundred and twelve dollars with a few more tithes yet to be turned in. Next Sunday, July 13th, at 3 p.m. will be the installation services of our pastor. The sermon will be preached by Rev W. H. Tillman of Pasadena music will also be furnished by the choir of the Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena. All are invited to attend. GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E.

Our Sunday School is in a prosperous condition. new pupils and new teachers both are coming to us. Mrs. M. Taylor a young and devout woman from Mississippi is our new teacher and we see in her a great help to our cause. At the evening services the pastor lost himself and preached as never before; at the conclusion of the sermon one girl was happily converted and joined the church. Pray for us.

Logan Craw.) (Continued from last issue) The Bible declares men equal. Acts 17: 24-28 declares: "God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelling not in temples made with hands, neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though they needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath and all things; and hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitations; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from everyone of us." For in him we live, and have our being." Here we have an axiomatic truth, portraying the equality of Men. The Constitution of the United States proclaims them equal. To make it so indeed and in truth is the sacred obligation which Almighty God has placed upon the church and State. Not alone out of self-respect, but from the lowed motive of self-preservation,—we must discharge this duty to our fellowman. For unless we level up society, others will level down society. As between the two the former process is democratic, the latter is not. This, therefore is the Church's day of opportunity. Christianity was born for such an hour as this. It was designed to be a vast unifying influence among the nations. The movement started well. The solidarity of society was fearlessly proclaimed at Jerusalem, the seat of bigotry, at Athens, the seat of learning, and at Rome, the seat of the mighty. The essential onness of all races was set forth in convincing arguments and difference between the Jew and the Greek,—barbarian and scythian, bondman and freeman. "Racial distinctions—Social distinctions—all 1 were erased—and at Pentacost the high water-mark of pure democracy was established. Hence the church came and now in these days of Reconstruction and Treaty making the Church and the World are at it in righteous combat perhaps as never before. Yes, the church is awake. The Dry Bones are living. To quote "Men and Missions will give the reason: "To provide the spiritual equivalent of the stupendous material forces released in the world by war, the Evangelical Church in all her great denominations is projecting a program of Extension and enlargement on a vast and comprehensive scale. The largest enumeration of this in marked outline is impressive. The aggregate impression is full of inspiration and challenge. As the church sees the world as it has never seen the world before, so the world sees the church as it has never seen the church before. The way to keep up is to keep on. Emotion without motion is null and void. And in the great movements now being inaugurated there is something for everybody and all to do. To give the manifesto issued by the Northern Baptist laymen throws more light on the subject viz. "It would be a tragedy unspeakable if we should win the war and after all fail to achieve the purpose for which we were fighting. To make the World a decent place to live in." To what end shall we have spent millions of treasure and the far more precious lives of our sons if we fail to take long step toward the creation between nations and races of those relations of good will and helpfulness that are in accord with the principles of Christ and are necessary to the welfare of the human race." And it would be a tragedy unspeakable not to make this manifesto a democratic reality. Happily such tragedy is to be avoided. Every denomination is striving to avoid it. Already the Northern and Southern Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Disciples of Christ and the Reformed Church, have adopted five-year programs of intensive study and extensive application. These are services enlisting the entire membership, involving the raising and the spending of millions of dollars, and calling for a fellowship of intercession and Christ-like leadership. The aims and the ideals are amazing. The plans of procedure are daring. The planks of the platform are challenging. The things to be include all the energetics of the kingdom. Such matter as are emphasized as Tithing, Prayer, Mission and Bible Study, Teacher Training, Evangelism, Pulpit and Press propazanda. A Religious Journal in every home, membership, accessions, decisions for the ministry and other life work, enlistments for the home and foreign fields, church, school, college and hospital building, and a general push and urge for the furthering of all the values of the gospel everywhere in the interest of greater numbers and higher efficiency. Surely these are indisputable evidences of the truth that the church and the world are looking each other straight in the face, and any watchman in his tower scanning the distance for realization of the hopes of the ages may well cry, "The Morning Cometh." The horizon is streaked with the roseate hues of dawn. Soon the sun of righteousness will flood the land with the genial warmth and mellow glow of his noon day splendor. In our own denomination the spirit of Unity is growing and the funds for stressing the great commission as being harvested as never before. Our Christian Record, voice of missions, S. C. Recorder beams with unparalleled records of general success. Khat does it all mean—this new determination and new endeavor? What else can it mean but that another miracle has been performed. The church, blinded by the dust of materialism, and dazzled by the fool's gold of selfishness, has lost its vision. He who opened the eyes of the suppliant of old has opened the eyes of the church. Lynching and Discrimination are being publicly denounced and through petitions from church bodies asked to be blotted out. The church now sees its privileges and opportunities. It has the vision splendid. It sees as Robert Moffat saw, "The smoke of a thousand villages where no missionary has ever been." It sees its unfinished task at home in slums and squallid city streets and far off frontiers as in the 5th Episcopal District. It sees its unfinished task abroad in heathen lands and a groping humanity seeking the true God amid its temples and idols. It sees the need of the world made eloquent by the hunger, want, suffering evident on the four corners of the continents. And as the church sees the world as it has never seen the world before, so the world sees the Church as it has never seen the Church before. The church and the World are coming together at, the crowded ways. The World greets the THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Church with the cry.—"Sirs we would see Jesus." it begs.—"Show us the Father," it pleads.—"Come and help us." And the Church rallies to the emergency and flashes back.—"In the name of the Son of God we are coming." The first word of the great Commission is "GO." We cannot go until we move. The united and sympathetic and Christlike organizations of the denominations are interesting. The movements of the denomination rising up with good will toward all mankind are thrilling and encouraging. It is goodness in action. There is no other goodness worth while. Unity has become a world-note. Above the babble of counsel and the jargon of demands and incriminations, this dominant note is heard, and it must be sustained.—loud and clear and long. Let us not permit our faith in the fundamental principles of Democracy to be shaken. Finally the Church must "show" the world before she can save the world. The prayer of our Lord proves this conclusively: "Father, I pray that they may be one that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." The world will gladly welcome such a demonstration. While the blood is up and while the iron is in the blood, let us undertake our great world task as a united body; all actuated by one living Spirit safe guarded by one instinctive attitude of mind, and bound together by one common idea, one common principle and one common purpose. And what better motto for this accomplishment of good than that of our own denomination which proclaims: "God our Father! Christ our Redeemer! Man our Brother." For such religious leadership the World is waiting. And in the style of Emerson but with words of a 20th Century writer—that such leadership and grand aims may all be attained.—I pray "The Centenary (All)"—O. V. Badley God give us men, men who can see And feel the World's great need of Thee; Men with a purpose and desire Whose hearts burn with celestial fire; Men with a method and a plan. To serve and help his fellow man. Great men of power whose strength in prayer Whose daily intercession bear The World's great need to Him a love Whose will is just, whose heart is love. Strong men with energy and grade. To serve in every need and place; Who count life anything out loss; To carry and uphold the cross. Wise men of wealth who trust in God Who honor and respect His word; Who freely of their substance give, And by His precepts daily live. With men like these joined heart and hand. Our God will soon possess the land. He's light of righteousness will shine Beyond sin's farthest battle line. So God of love, help us each day To serve, to live, to give, to pray Till earth is filled with love. Till then,— God give us men. God give us men. There has been launched, in San Francisco, a movement to establish a Christian Association building for the young men and women of the Negro race. A drive for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars is to be started in the near future. According to the plans as outlined in the daily press the project is to include a building for club purposes and facilities for the teaching of industrial and technical trades as well as Christian and moral uplift work. The press has been very generous in giving publicity of a favorable nature, the San Francisco, Chronicle printed an editorial headed, "Our Colored Heroes" and advised the public to assist the cause as a worthy one. We have heard various comments from Negro citizens concerning the venture; some have been favorable, and may have been vehemently sarcastic in denunciation. Some say that industrial proviso was tacked on to help fill the exchequer. This we know, that there are in the city Public Schools that teach the industrial and manual arts, and are open to all youths; furthermore they are equipped with teachers who have been selected for their skill in the various crafts. According to the reports of the papers, the sponsors for the movement are: Samuel Mash, an attorney; and Rev. W. E. Dennis of the Colored Baptist Church, San Francisco. Since writing this account I have been handed the following excerpt from the Daily Call-Post: PROPOSED CLUB PLAN DISCUSSED. Editor The Call: I was more than interested in an article published in the Chronicle of June 24, 1919, regarding the organization of a Colored Young Men's and Women's Industrial Christian Association, who are contemplating a drive to aid a colored folks' building plan. We hear considerable discussion as to what sort of an association the Colored Young Men's and Women's Industrial Christian Association will turn out to be in actual practice with what aims and what effect upon national life, and whether it will be purely sociable, or take on some political complexion and be an object of lively political intrigue, or, perhaps, devote its attention mainly to self-interests. A majority of our colored residents who have resided here for many years question its sincerity and just motives. An organization might be brought about from a common sense view and the partnerships for the mutual benefit of all concerned. Every member will wish to keep on good terms with the other members, and will act toward them with a reasonable degree of honesty and good faith. Then a legal document, satisfactory to all of them, can be drawn. But never can an organization such as is proposed prove successful as long as the moving and principal spirit is an untrustworthy person. I am a resident of this city, and have been for more than sixty years. In justice to my white and colored friends alike, I consider it my duty to forewarn you all to ignore this $150,000 appeal. 3033 Sacramento St., S. F. The many friends of Attorney Burton Ceruti are elated over his election as a member of the National Executive Board of the N. A. A. C. P. It is a fitting tribute to the uniting efforts and the personal sacrifices which he has made in the furtherance of the ideals of the Association on the Pacific Coast. Questions of justness and right; questions of vast importance to the Negroes of the West, have frequently arose and commanded his attention; they have been met by him with diplomacy and a firmness that has brought ultimate success for his contentions. The appointment, or election, while well merited will give an impetus to the Association on the Pacific Coast, for we will feel that our distance from the center of affairs does not isolate us. Here's success to you Burton! with the wish that you may prove a wise factor in the guidance of the destiny of the Association. The Northern California Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. met at the Cooper Zion A. M. E. Church on Monday the 23rd of June, for the purpose of reporting on the membership drive. Being detained att a prior meeting in San Francisco it was quite a late hour when we arrived in Oakland. At that the reports of the several Generals, Captains and their aides had not been made, owing, as the President, Mr. W. A. Butler stated, to the absence of the campaign manager, Mr. Ricks. To break the monotony of the wait several those were called on and among those to respond was Lieut. Leonard Richardson, attorney, who commented on a press clipping concerning the admission to the unions of the various craft which compose that body of the Negro. He said in part, "That the move was one of vast importance to the Negro from an economic point of view, and a far step in the progress of the race." It showed a spirit of democracy when it refused to grant separate charter for negroes, and decried race discrimination. It said that Negroes would be free to apply for membership and join any union of their craft, and when denied charters would be granted direct from Headquarters. A colored woman, Mrs. Pete, represented a domestic workers union of New Orleans. The Literary Digest prints a number of excerpts from the leading Negro journals and also from the such papers of prominence as the N. Y. Tribune; N. Y. World; Herald; Washington Star, and others. The President introduced Mr. William Patterson a young student of the law, who followed Mr. Richardson. He delivered a panegyric on the ideals of the I. W. W. Not a doubt exists in our minds that the young man, along with his law, has imbibed a great draught of socialism. The rabid kind: He commenced by laying the A. F. L. and questioning its sincerity in the removal of the barriers admitting Negroes to the membership of the unions. When he offered the I. W. W. as a panacea for the economic and industrial lilies of the Negro, we smiled and placed it to the arrogance of youthful inexperience; when he made the assertion that "Anyone doubting the usefulness of the organization in its effort to ameliorate the condition of the working classes, and better the existing conditions of society was ignorant." Our smiles grew a trifle broader and many of us acknowledged a vacuum in our "think domes." We know that the major part of the Negroes have themselves been too long the victims of lawlessness to even give a thought to an organization whose leaders stand before the bar of public opinion, indicted for the crimes of arson, sabotage and atrocities against organized society. If the majority of us will try to work out the salvation of the race by strict adherence to the law of the land, and, although the road may be a bit more tedious, aid a little longer, but when the goal is once reached there will be the basis of a firm foundation upon which to rear the structure of racial success. To cap the climax; this young leader in embryo—for we understand that he aspires to leadership in the community—started off on a diatribe, in which the object of his "erudition" was the Hon. Emmett Scott, former envoy from this country on a special mission to Liberia; Secy. of the greatest Negro Industrial Institute in the world; Special Ass't. Secy. to the Secy. of War, and Secy.Treas. of Howard University, and other activities by which his special fitness and racial integrity have placed him in the fore ranks of the men who command the attention of the public. Now, this young man who sought to detract from the services that the Hon. Emmett Scott has rendered to humanity in general and the Negro race in particular, has had no experience with men and affairs, other than that gained in the bounds of his habitat; the environs of San Francisco, therefore we had to straighten our faces, which hitherto had been wreathed in smiles, smiles of pity for such inexperience that took itself so serious. Oh well. What's the use? You remember that old saying about "Angels fear to tread where some folks rush in." If I were a Judge and a fellow was brought before me for "toten" a 'gat' to a picnic or any public gathering where women and children congregated. I would give him 99 years in a dark cell and if he survived would hang him up by the thumbs for 99 more. They tell me that at a picnic outing at Shellmound Park some "bad men" (?) forgot that the war was over, or maybe when they could not kill old "John Barleycorn" by imbibing, thought to shoot him to death. Anyway they threw some bullets promiscuously. They report that several are in the Hospital. it would be a blessing if the whole outfit was in the MORGUE. Beatrice Pauline Vernon. To me, you're like a ship without a sail— No lighthouse near to guide you thru the gale. I'm praying Father, hold fast to his hand And safely keep him till he reach the strand. To me, you're like a lone wandering dove I tried to hold you fast within my love. I pray each day. Dear Lord, take care of him Let not his eyes with unshed tears grow dim. He knows that I did all that heart could do I'll leave the rest. Dear Father, unto you— Direct him in all patns to perfect peace. Bid thou the sorrow of his mind to cease. I'm praying, Dear for you both, night and day That God will lead you on your weary way, And guide you safe o'er life's tempestuous sea. Straight to the arms of love that wait for thee.

C. A. SPEAR.....Managing Editor J. B. BASS.....Editor A NEW ROAD THAT LEADS TO INDEPENDENCE Monday evening at Wesley Chapel one of the largest gatherings of the race that ever came together to consider so serious a problem as the Lower California movement was sizzling with interest, and at the close of personal observations told by Messrs. Jerome Hill, T. W. Poinsett, V. M. Cole, R. G. Lamar, C. Troy and Mrs. Claudius Troy enthusiasm was rampant and the directors are glad to announce that they have gone "over the top," and beyond. At the close of the remarks of the gentlemen, who satisfactorily told the story of what they saw of the wonderful Santa Clara Ranch, Atty. Macbeth took his place at the lantern and Mr. T. W. Troy at the canvass, and for about 15 minutes the great gathering covered the ranch; visiting the Sulphur Springs; watched the corn and wheat grow and saw through it all a great future for themselves and posterity. In order that persons interested in Lower California lands may see for themselves the company, starting July 21, will run regular weekly trips from Los Angeles to Santa Clara; those wishing to go are urged to make reservation in advance with Mr. J. M. Littlejohn at the office of the Lower California Mexican Land and Development Company, 220-221 Lissner Bldg., 524 So. Spring St., or telephone Main 3239: DOING SOMETHING Within the past few weeks great progress has been made by the race in this particular section by a practical demonstration of "Doing Something." To our mind the achievements along the line of real effort surpasses all previous attempts, and will give such an impetus to future propositions that no longer will the wail of "we can't" prevail. Notable among the achievements has been the production of a super-photoplay, "Injustice," this in itself was a most remarkable and striking instance of the great possibilities, when attempted with a determination for success The fact that the Democracy Film Co. really produced and now has ready for the screen a $15,000 production, speaks louder than words of the real possibilities before us. Another notable event is the acquisition by the Lower California and Mexican Development Company of productive land, less than 200 miles from Los Angeles, which is now on the market and will shortly yield forth the products of the earth by this people. Another event at our very door has been the fact that we have the spectacle of a real organization among the men and women of this city who essay to do something along business lines—The Progressive Business League is making commendable progress and with its continued growth, it will doubtless render great service to the future progress of this people along business lines. And after all we are really qualifying on the proposition of "Doing Something." The new regime has now taken up the reins of our city government. Much is expected of the same, the chief expectation is that there will be a fair and square deal for all of the citizens of this community. It is also expected that with the advance of this administration that after conditions will be repressed of our great city, reduced to a minimum, and that Cedar Avenue will be proclaimed from the vicious element ```markdown ``` We hope and trust that these things shall come to pass-all for the betterment and future progress of our great city. MYRTLE ANDERSON Tuesday evening, July 1, at the First Methodist Church, Cor, 6th and Hill Sts., Myrtle Anderson, the girl orator, addressed a crowded house of both races. In vivid fashion, with perfect command of her language, Miss Anderson stated the true condition of the country and pleaded the cause of the Negro in this country in masterly fashion free from any sign of obsequiousness. Our own Senator Hiram Johnson is demonstrating in staid old New England, the brand of political effort which has won for him fame and the highest honors on the Pacific Coast. The President has at last condescended to come home and on his arrival at New York Tuesday was greeted with a noisy if not spectacular welcome. City News OFFICIAL CALL "Deeds, Not Words" The Thirteenth Annual Convention of the California State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs wil convene in Bethel A. M. E. Church, Front and Elm Streets, San Diego, July 29 through 31, 1919. The great world war for an unparalleled struggle for democracy is over and the reconstruction period at hand. Never in the history of our race has there been greater opportunity for service than now, and upon every woman rests the responsibility for closer co-operation and coordination that she may be prepared to meet the problems which must confront the race during the period of reconstruction and readjustment. Every woman will be called to active service to do her bit, dear co-worker, unite as never before that we may confer and rejoice together when the struggle for democracy wins and brings permanent peace to all mankind. The Young People's Missionary Society of the Second Baptist Church held its regular meeting at the home of Miss Mary L. Eldridge, 1309 West 35th Place. The meeting was a source of inspiration to all. The Superintendent, Mrs. Pauline Hubert, spoke encouragingly to the young people. Mrs. Viola Hubbard was a visitor and spoke to the young people. Mrs. Marie O.

A JOLLY FOURTH Thirty-six young people although some had passed the two score and ten land mark, yet every last one was young, and every heart gay on that day ofollition the fourth of July. Like birds out of case they new hither and thither among the trees along the winding brooks of the woodlands. You see it was just a never-to-be-forgotten time and all seemed determined to make the best of it. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Banks invited a host of friends and relatives to partake of the bountieous offerings of the surroundings of their country home, located in the hills of San Fernando Valley. Thirty-four friends and relatives availed themselves of the opportunity and by way of auto didst seek out the dwelling place of their country friends. Base ball target shooting, hiking, swinging, story telling and singing under shade trees; feeding hooks postering the goat were some of the ways in which they spent their idle time—then— Thirty-three persons seated around a table that stretched across the big, clean-swept yard a table that groomed under its burden of every kind of foli in all its variety—while Mr. Banks served his superintendent kid, dripping and brown from the cinders, an hour, two, or three spent thus, and then after that—Well, there was nothing to do then but to lounge around and dose. Great buckets of ice cold lemonade acted as restorative to enable them to board the automobiles that took them singing happily away Such was a day which many de- veloped "the happiest" of their lives sports in the country made posi- bly a friend! The day was an exceedingly joy- ous one for Mrs. Jacks as it was the first meeting of her brother Julius Albrighton in nearly two years, as he had returned only a day before from camp, having been oversaid. THE FRIENDSHIP BAPSTIST CHURCH OF WAKEFIELD. Five weeks ago a band of Christians meeting that their children formerly not willing to treat them as becoming Christians at their own church edified — The Macdonalds Baptist Church of Watts—shook the dust from off their feet and be them have the church frame they had built all to themselves. Another building they sought and were invited in a small building in the downtown section of Watts. To the pulpit of this newly appointed temple they called the Rev A. P. Hansse, who had resigned because of the friction, his former pulpit at the Macedonia Church. Here these 24 members have labored for those past five weeks and they feel that there is must be the work of God from the wonderful results that their labor has wrought. Twenty-one members in five weeks have laid on the altar for the use in the building of a Zion $60,000. Truth this magnificent and still they are laboring cheerfully and without spiritual hearts to make this church that will be erected in the heart of the business section of Watts, a building of which no one would be ashamed. The third Sunday in June was Rally Day. On this day Rev Moore the overseer of Baptists in this section of the country was with them. Rev W. H. Tillman of the Friendship Baptist Church of Padua preached the sermon for the occasion. Rev. Brewer and congregation of Long Beach also Rev. Mrs. W. R. Carter were present to assist them. A great time they had which encouraged them to go on and upward. Their next rally is scheduled for the 3rd Sunday in August. Wouldn't it make you feel peeved, if after, you had studiously finished college, well equipped with an education, intelligent and refined and had acquired, enough of this old world, goods in the form of a house with all necessary comforts; and an automobile and had even slightly sub mitted to his incessant wooing and he had afterwards proved to be a peach of a hubby and you were otherwise incumbered with luxuries and the only thing that rippled the glassy smoothness of your young life was your constant failure to win certain laurels in the orem of a beautiful silver sup, the temporary property of a pretty winsome and elf-like maiden with wonderful accomplishments, etc., who when you had laboriously amuled to the top-most rung of the ladder of fame and reached out for such trophy, this gentle maiden gracefully removes same far from your reach to a higher and more difficult pinnacle, and then you had to battle for it still another year? Say! would it not set your anguora? In a general way such has been the intableable misfortune of Mrs. Henry Young, but she is game and come up sniffing, and she looks more dangerous each time she tries, just watch her, she'll win a crown yet. So thus the apparently invincible Fern Caldwell obtained full possession of the Southern California championship cup, after winning a place upon it three successive years. In the July 4th tournament at Santa Monica, Mrs. Perry Norris of the Seattle Alpha Tennis and Outing Club, and Mrs. Win Allen of the Omega Club and Mrs. Young of the Young Ladies' Athletic League all poined upon poor little Miss Caldwell and while at times the crowd stood breathless around the sun-purched arena watching hostilities amid visions of the title being wafted away to the Northern Metropolis, but the color bearer proved to be still tres of the exciting situation when the pinch came. With more practice and a little more speed Mrs. Allen may win with the family den with a string of trophies. dress. Norris while not the champion of the North is glamorous up for that title and is a flashy player of ability and choice she struts up on her back hand work may one day wear a crown of honour she has a disorientating way of putting the pill where the opponent is hurt, and her service is a caution but once the possessive chivalry shows her stride and it was quick joy with triumph. The surprise of the day occurred when Paul Davis stopped the "knockout drops" to champion Harper. The unruly winnings were statistically and digitally corroded that the good natural Edison was totally unaware of the prize or discovery of its loss for quite a spell. Just whether the ex-hip hop and 7 days, or Phil was in a real youth" turned no one seems to know. His body was done for the one wounded and hungry. Do you know who camped home in two dormsers? Broyles was now under the direct observation of the peerless Ballinger group who was stationed next up. It was like tossing a chunk of raw beef into a cage of terroiris buns, and there they chawed and managed each other until it was too dark to locate their adversary with the make-up. They were finally separated and dragged off the court's when the match stood one set all and three to two in games with Kemp holding the ball. The match was finished Monday afternoon at the Alpna Courts. Broyles could not overcome Balsot hot service, although Kemp had to exude himself considerably it was discovered after the dust and smoke had cleared away that Kemp had the Championship hung to his left wisdom tooth and that he had announced his wish of oil of defeat. The scores: Mrs. Norris eliminated Mrs. Allen by a score of 6-2, 6-13; Mrs. Young lost to Miss Caldwell 4-6, 6-3, 6-0; Mrs. Caldwell removed Mrs. Norris from the horizon 6-2, 6-4; Peters toyed with Mack White 6-2, 6-3; Thos Bain fell before Water McNeal 6-4, 6-1; Goo Johnson lost to our Al Matthews 6-4, 6-2; Weed Philip Davis harponed Wilm Allen 6-2, 6-3; Rav Matthews grabbed a tough bird and was pocked by Hassel Davis 7-5, 1-6, 6-4; Arthur Maloney stunned Ernest Bynum 6-4, 6-1; Dr. B. J. Jordan pulled Chester Williams McHers 6-0, 7-5; Little Phil Davis depleted champion dille Harris' chest 3-2, 3-6, 6-0; Hassel Davis lost to Toco Boryles 6-1, 9-1; Maloney struck a snag when he met E. J. Peters 6-3, 6-2; McNeal snubbed off Al Matthews 6-4, 4-6, 6-4; Doc Jordan failed to prevent Kemp from publishing his ivories 6-4, 6-0; Broyles operated on little Philip and he succumbed 6-3, 6-4; Peters scrubbed up with McNeal 6-0, 6-0; Broyles man-handed Peters 6-1, 8-6; Kemp wins title in a hot scrimmage with Eroyles 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. The Western Federation of Tennis Clubs decided to appropriate $300.00 to send Ballinger Kemp to the N ational tournament in N. Y., he will leave about August 1st. There is but $200.00 of this in sight so the finance committee ur- gently requests that all advertis- ers and club pledges be met and turned CLASSIFIED ADVS. LODGE NOTICE.

As they had enjoyed no such hospitality and luxury since leaving home. Mrs. Allen, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. C. Williams has gone to Oregon tor an indefinite visit.

Mrs. Fletcher expects to spend at least a month with his relatives. Mr. Wm. Slaughter celebrated his natal day Monday evening in a rather novel way and gave his wife a great surprise. Monday evening will be remembered as a celebrating event by many in many ways. The Lawn Carnival at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott was a grand success, socially and financially. The many places of amusement were well patronized and afforded great sport. Mrs. Flood as "Omar" the fortune teller had her tent crowded all evening and the box of French candy she gave was won by Mrs. Hawkins. Mrs. Collins had a difficult task to accommodate those anxious to enter her race track. Mrs. Francis sold out and closed up her candy stand at an early hour, and could have been selling till yet if the goods had lasted. Mrs. Daniels did a rushing business at her ice cream and cake stand. Mrs. Mills and Mrs. Holland could have sold chicken pies all night if the chickens had been more numerous. Mr. Francis let his cake from his auction stand go to Mr. R. J. Fletcher, the highest, bidder. Mr. J. W. Scott gave the great surprise of the evening when he exhibited his ankle at the ankle show and caused a scream from the crowd. Men were sore from the loss of the cost to see what they didn't expect. A jolly good time was enjoyed by all. The union picnic at McKinley Park on Friday last, was one of the most pleasant of its kind in many years. Everything was in harmony and a general good time was had and plenty of good lunch and ice cream served to all, and there was one big family of Baptist, A. M. E. Zion and St. Andrews A. M. E., all in for a good time together, which they surely had. Mr. George Elebeck isn't over the surprise yet given him one evening last week at his home. As he entered to find a large number of friends gathered by his dear wife who so thoughtfully planned a delightful party for him on his birthday. Those enjoying the pleasant affair were: Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Flood; Mrs. Brown; Miss Goodman; Mr. Steward; Mrs. White; Mrs. Hodan. The song service Sunday evening at St. Andrews was a musical treat.

Shields of Los Angeles who has been the house guest of Mrs. Thomas McColough for past two weeks has returned to her home. B. S. Rowan is handling the concession at the Chautaqua in Riverside this week. Benjamin Wesley Ingham is the happiest man in town because his wife, who is at the Ramona hospital, presented him with a son weighing six and one-half pounds. His name, if you please, is Carl Wesley. Mother and babe are doing nicely. Friday night the Crochet Club gave a "Wiener Roast" in the foothills in honor of our three high school graduates. There were 48 young folks in the crowd and on account of the truck going into the ditch some of the crowd didn't get back until the wee small hours of the morning. Benjamin Anderson, our own navy boy, spent three days with his parents and friends while his ship was in the San Diego harbor. Young Anderson is advancing as rapidly as possible in his field.

M. held their first St. John's Day service in San Bernardino Sunday week ago at New Hope Baptist Church. Rev. N. P. Greggs of Los Angeles preached the sermon, choosing for his text the words of 1 Cor. 3:10 and as a master builder he built his sermon. It was a great turn out folks were there from Redlands, Riverside, Los Angeles and our own town. An old fashioned barbecue with a whole pig roasted was the feature at the Grey Front Wednesday. Some AN OPEN LETTER After a hard fought fight, entailing big effort, in which I was manfully assisted by Chaplain W. W. E. Gladden, President of The Democracy Film Corporation, and the Members of the Board of Directors, we have, I think, produced a Super-Feature Film—"INJUSTICE"—that will go far towards eliminating "Race Prejudice," and that will be a credit to the Colored Race. It was a colossal undertaking—a new venture is always looked up with suspicion—but, somehow, a goodly number of wide-awake people deemed one worthy of being considered seriously in this new and great undertaking. For that I thank you. The conception of this undertaking was mine, and the confidence you placed in my ability to bring it to a fruitful issue will not be misplaced, I assure you. The Production of "INJUSTICE" is now completed and will be shown at 2 "Grand Opening Performances" on Sunday, July 20th; 12.30, 2.30, 4.30, 6.30, 8.30 p.m. Won't you try to be there, dear Friends, at one of those performances, and give this undertaking a big "Send Off?" It is an answer to "The Clansman." That should be sufficient to have it receive your endorsement. The picture will be shown in New York, Chicago, Washington and St. Louis within a few weeks, and subsequently in every portion of the inhabited earth. We are almost immediately going ahead to produce other pictures, and I firmly believe that we shall establish a permanent industry here, in Los Angeles, that will be second to none in the film business—and remember—the film business is now the FIFTH BIGGEST INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES. A lot will depend on the "Send Off" that you give to "INJUSTICE." Will you make it a bumper one? We have worked very hard, and we intend to continue to work very hard, to establish an Industry here, in Los Angeles, that will bring big wealth to the Colored Community here, but our efforts will be hampered greatly if you, dear Friends, hold yourselves aloof. I make this appeal, very earnestly,—will you come to one of the Grand Opening Performances of "INJUSTICE?" I think you will enjoy it. You will have some hearty laughs, and I think you will shed some tears. I sincerely thank those who co-operated with me and those who financially interested themselves in this undertaking. I will make it my earnest effort to help to make every dollar invested in the Democracy Film Corporation worth $1,000.00 a share.

Much has been said recently of a new religion, but just returning from our District Conference, we are here to say that old time religion is good enough for us and we saw it freely demonstrated there. New inspiration and new desires were given but the same old faith. Our last Connectional Day will be Sunday August 3rd at which time our Educational Rally will be pulled off by Miss Edna Culpepper. Our Dollar Money we are collecting as we go. Let every member and friend do his part and we will have success. "Nothing succeeds like success."

ESS called one of the Ice Cream Parlor The Ice All Work Guaranteed PAGE EIGHT JACK DEMPSEY NEW WORLD'S CHAMPION KNOCKS OUT JESS WILLIARD—THREE BOUND Upon the unswollen head of William Harrison Dempsey, commonly called "Jack" rests the coveted crown of lightom, for Jack Dempsey is the Heavy-weight Champion Boxer of the World. Ex-champion Jess Willard was dethroned after three terrific rounds of the bloodiest four shortest championship battles on record. A scan of the dope shows that the Kansas giant after having been floored 6 times in the first round managed to stall through the second and third but was unable to respond for the fourth round; his second, Walter Monolian tossed a blood-spattered towel into the ring at the beginning of the fourth round denoting the Jess was through. Poor old Jess, 37 years old was now going through what his predecessor Jack Johnson probably suffered at Havana, Cuba, April 5, 1915. Although after 26 rounds of the best that Willard could do in the way of ducking and dodging Jack's mighty whip, he had not beaten or bruised Jack who was then 37 anything like Dempsey did in 3 rounds and then old tovy Jack Johnson fell over more from sheer exhaustion from his own efforts. Reports by the scribes say that Willard was a helpless, bleeding, trembling mass of human bulk for hours after the bout, and had to be helped to his dressing room. The going saved Willard from defeat in the first round after he kissed the canvass the sixth time and Jack was unable to apply the sleeping powders in the second round being tired of knocking the ponderous, bleding and reeling champion about the ring. Right and left jabs were cutting Willard to ribbons all through the third and he almost fell into his corner, and there he sat a sad sight indeed; completely helpless, his chief second wishing to save him further punishment talked to him hurriedly and then spoke to Ollie Pecord the referee, who while the howling mob was yelling for him to stop it, ascertained Willard's willingness by a nod of his asking head, the referee threw up his hands and hurried to Dempsey's corner and pulling 'the new champion' toward the center of the ring amid a riotous uprear of fans and just then Dempsey realized that Willard's seconds had thrown up the sponge, and that he had scuddled Jess of his crown. Thus the heavy-weight title was lifted from the shoulders of the slow cumberson Kansas farmer to the Colorado lion's broad nimble back. Willard is far from a poor looser, however, and acknowledges that Dempsey won because he is the best jaw-breaker in the world today, also that he. Willard, was in the pink of condition for his age, but that the powerful pitcher simply approached the old well once, too numerous. The outcome of the July 4th fracus simply substantiates Jack Johnson's eleventh hour claim, that he had a pretty tough time avoiding putting Willard to sleep in the early rounds, and Jess was a much better man then and now, so how could they have avoided the services of an undertaker if Johnson had really tried to demonstrate his mighty left bacon-fetcher upon Willard's paper law. Jack Dempsey's metoric record, brief as it is, stamps him as one of the best heavy-weights of the last decade. The old war-horse, Jim Flynn claims a knockout over Dempsey, but the records don't bear the Public Fireman out, although it does show Flynn knocked out by Dempsey in one round. Jess Willard on the other hand being the biggest mauler ever to hold the title was without a doubt the poorest champion we ever had. Excepting Johnson Jess never fought anybody but second raters, and Gun Boat Smith, the best of the lot beat him in twenty rounds. He did manage to fluke out with such fruit as Arthur Pelky, Luther McCarty, Bull Young, Carl Morris, but lost to Charley Miller, one of Sam Lankford's meal tickets, in 4 rounds. Had the Kansas Goliath been in the game of fistfights when these men were good, Jack Johnson, Jim Jefferies, Sam Lankford, Jim Corbett and Bob Fitt-simmons, he would have remained a poor second-rater. Dempsey like old Sam Lankford carries a mule-kick in either paw and simply loves to unload his heavy artillery in the first stanza. In 13 months he had 31 scuffles and in eight of these he insisted upon his opponents taking a beauty nap in the first round not including six others during one night theatrical stands. Officers Willard may have been a poor excuse for a champion fighter, but he was some business man. He admits being worth close to a half million, and received one hundred thousand dollars for that force July 4th, and hold one-third interest in the moving pictures which will net him a handsome sum. Jess plans to till the soil upon his farm near Lawrence, Kansas from now on, and may be able to stave off starvation for a while at least. Dempsey is by far the most popular champion before the public in a long while and will no doubt stack up the donerra in short order. His clever manager, Jack Kearns, has already signed Dempsey up with a movie concern at $7,000.00 per week, while he just received $27,000.00 for knocking the stuffings out of Willard, and has one-third interest in the pictures, so he will not have to fear the old wolf for some time. The July 4th fizzle drew about 45,000 fans, among them Mayor Schreiber of Toledo. Tex Ricord, the promoter, claims that the railroads bambooseled him out of fully $250,000.00 as 20,000 fans failed to see the mill because no special trains were provided for them. At that, the gate receipts totaled something like $600,000.00, of which the pups received $127,000.00, the cost of building the arena was about $150,000.00, the Boxing Commission's share for charity about $20,000.00. War Tax about $30,000.00 and after this, Rickaid who is already a millionaire will have some spare change left. Los Angeles, Cal.; July 8, 13:9. California agile Please allow me space in your vari- able paper to call the attention of our people to the fact that we have in our midst another good lawyer, while he is virtually unknown to our people generally in this community he is nevertheless here with the goods, in the person of Attorney Fred Mason, formerly of Houston, Texas. Mr. Mason defended me in the case of The People of California vs Leon McCloney in the Superior Court, and he assisted Mr. Barnett, also collored, in defense of my wife, both of us were jointly charged in the same indictment, but had separate trials. I guess the public generally will remember that we were charged with the murder of a soldier by the name of Charley Kempliny at the St. Francis Hotel on E. 5th St., about the 25th of February, 1919. At our examination trial before the Justice of the Peace, on March 13, 1919, we never had Mr. Mason in the case, and we were both bound over to the Superior Court, without bail and I stayed in jail from February 25th to June 24th. About March 15th my sister received word from my father in Beaumont, Texas, to find Attorney Fred Mason, as none of us here knew anything about him he was induced, on account of the friendly relations that puzzled between me and my father, to take up my defense. Right here I will state that there were two critical moments in my life that I will never forget; the first was on the 20th of June, when Atty. Mason announced readiness for trial, and I knowing at that time that I was on trial for my life. My wife having already been tried the day before and convicted of murder in the 2nd degree. You can imagine my suspense; and the next trying moment of my life was on the 24th of June about 12.35 when I saw that jury coming in with the verdict in my case. It would be hard for me to tell all that I thought and all that I saw in my mind's eye from the time that they came in the door until the clerk of the Court read the paper down to where it said Not Guilty. When Atty. Mason announced his readiness for trial, he then made a motion to have Atty. Barnett associated in the case with him, then the fight began in dead earnest and I was the only person in the courthouse that was in dead earnest about what was going on, for I kenw nothing about Atty. Mason individually or as a lawyer: no more than which I had seen him do in assisting Mr. Barnett with my wife's case. But when he got through with the witnesses and then followed the Prosecuting Attorney with that famous southern speech, characteristic only of southern criminal lawyers, I changed my mind and felt much better. I had testified in the trial that I was there where the killing took place at, but when Mr. Mason finished his speech I concluded that I must have been mistaken about being anywhere about there, my fright and fear in the case was greatly intensified by the fact that the State had both eye witnesses and circumstantial evidence against us and we never had a witness of any kind. Detectives Stevens and Glenn even testified that our characters were bad. Those that do not know Mr. Mason should get acquainted with him. He is a good lawyer and a good man. He needs your assistance. He is a man that can help the race and will do so if given a chance. In the trial of my case I do not know whether he surprised himself or not, but he certainly surprised everyone as well as myself the way an the manner in which he managed and conducted that trial, and everyone that I came in contact with after the trial was over wanted to know who he was and where he came fraom. I told them that I did not know, but that he would be my lawyer from now on. I write this letter unsolicited by Mr. Mason and hope that you will publish it in your valuable paper so that others may know that we have another good lawyer in our midst, who is capable of helping our people if we will rally to him and give him a chance to do so. *Respectfully yours, LEON MCCLONEY. In the Music World In the Music World BY JOHN A. GRAY The following analysis of the Song Recital, based upon programs of the world's greatest singers for the past ten years, will perhaps be interesting to the music lover. The voice is the most perfect medium with which to express the whole gamut of human emotions and therefore is the most expressive instrument, if we may call it such, in the musical world. The Song Recital is the highest form of vocal endeavor, the culmination of any singer's career. Greater, and more exciting than Grand Opera, because the addition of scenery, costumes, orchestral setting, acting and the assistance of other soloists and the chorus in opera make the singer's work much easier than in recital. Here the singer has nothing but his or her personality, intelligence, interpretation, etc., to support him. He must know how to hold the attention and interest of his audience and render his numbers in such a manner that their meaning is readily gasped. A beautiful voice without personality has less favorable chances on a concert platform than a mediocre voice, well-trained, backed by a strong personality. Personality does not mean a beautiful face or figure alone—rather the contrary. For example, Schumann-Heinkel the peer of contralto is anything but beautiful, but her magnetism is felt the moment she steps on the platform. You feel drawn irresistably to her and in a few moments you are crying or laughing or passing through some other emotional phase. Unlike the instrumentalist, the vocalist has more freedom in the arrangement of his program. There seems to be no hard and fast rules to follow although a general scheme has been universally recognized. In most cases an aria from an opera is used in the beginning generally from the early Italian school on account of the purity of its construction or a group of early Italian songs and then might come a French group followed by English, Russian, Norwegian, etc. Sometimes these groups are mixed. It all depends upon the character of each song. The rule being to have as much variety as possible between the songs that follow each other. Never sing several songs in succession of the same type. For instance if a song is sung that is sad it may bring tears. The next, if it is sad may moisten eyes, the next if the same will cause little effect, and the fourth will bore the audience. The same is true of the happy songs. In audience does not remain in the same state of mind forever and these phases of emotionalism are regulated by the contrast of the thinkers given. The singer must know his songs thoroughly, both text and music. If the song means nothing to him then it means nothing to his audience. If he cannot feel it then his audience will not. The story must be told. (and all songs are stories) with clear understanding and faultless diction. Proper phrasing, tone, production, and dynamics which mean perfect breath control must also be considered. How often one hears a singer mumble out his words in such a manner that even he himself does not know what he is saying and as for breathing; a fish taken out of water would not gasp more. Another terrible habbit is the awful faces that the unexperienced singers make. Singing before a mirror is a good means of eradicating this evil. Stage deportment should also be observed. Every note of the accompaniment should be known. Many, many times a singer jumps ahead of his accompanist, especially if the piano has a few beats before the voice begins. In the matter of assistants it seems that the older a singer becomes the more he uses assisting talent. One reason is that their bodies and voices will not stand the strain of a whole program alone, but the younger singers are required to do more work. They have no fame to rest upon.

J. H. Cuffee, Prop is preferable to use instrumentalists as helpers but if another vocalist is used it should be of the opposite sex. In conclusion we may sum up our program in one word—"Variety." And to give this variety the singer must be able to sing in different styles and languages. Therefore training, training, training is absolutely necessary. Remember that the public does not pay to hear a mere beautiful voice but that it does pay to hear training even if there is a very ordinary voice. That is one reason why there are so few Negro artists in a race that has the most beautiful voices. They are not willing to work for the necessary equipment. OFFICE LIFE Comique And Tragique. Oh ye Lower California and Mexican Land Co! Ye have lured away the heart of the Lyno operator by your incessant "farmland" pipings. His eyes become brilliant, his face lightens with the joy of the redeemed when with thoughts far away, he drives the rest of the office to distraction with " want to go back to the "arm." in earnest melody. At times he is uncontrollable, the veins swell in his face, his eyes bulge, the call of the wild surges through his entire being. Caged in by convention he only beats against the bars and roars furiously. "Oh loose him and let him go!" is the nervous attitude of the Society Editor at these times. "She seems to sympathize, is very strongly with him it is said that beneath her apathetic thirst there are great billows of longings for the woods surging and colliding. The Lyno operator is more demonstrative. Against his cage he is bracing and crying for liberty. "I am going!" Desperately he breaks forth. "I am going out on the farm and alone." —The Dickens' retorted, unrestrained Managing Editor. The Editor never seems to think a great deal of his power to raise. He says, "the Lyno operator would raise security—only he didn't expose it that way. The Printer's Devil said that he could raise peanuts—you know, the teeny weeny kind. The Head Printer seems to think he would be able to raise a roof; but the Society Editor, ever dreaming of the farm and the wonders of a country home, shrugs her shoulders and questions the unanswering atmosphere. I wonder now if he would be able to raise a family? "Tis said that the Printer's Devil, in Lemonade suit, Leghorn hat, and mirror shoes sported by the Eagle office on a Sunday and caused a great consternation. "How does he do it?" gasped the Editor. In company with the Lyno Operator or he sojourned to the Eagle's Croquet Links and as ever came up the smiling hero: Another was heard to gasp—this time the Lyno Operator—"How does he do it?" The Society Editor assumed a very business-like countenance on Monday Early in the week she began the editing of her columns. The office circus in which she usually features strongly was minus one of its stars. On Wednesday when the other Editors began their hurry skelter work, she was lying complacently back in the cushions of the train, en route to Riverside.
