ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNA THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 33 MRS. CHILDRESS WRITES ON DIVORGE EVIL. "I, Emily, take thee, Anderson, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish and obey, 'till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth." "With this ring I thee wed, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow." A great wave of memories for ten years past come crowding thickly on my mind, and an emotion of tenderness springs up in my heart towards those bridesmaids and ushers who helped to make my wedding night a success. I can see the whole picture again. The boys in their conventional black, and the girls in their pastel shades. Fragrant of foolish sentences float back to me from around COLORED MA Prize-winning sketch of economic Through the activity of Mr. Noah D. Thompson, the Los Angeles Express has extended the courtesy of permitting us to use this beautiful design by our very own Paul Williams, who by his genius as an architect has placed another wreath of honor on the brow of his race in Southern California. L. A. Pressed Brick Company Awards Honors for. Best $5000 Dwelling Plans First price of $300. offered by the Los Angeles Pressed Brick Company, for the best design for a tile house to cost not more than $5000, was won by Paul R. R. Williams, 110 Story building. With a plan for a living room, T-shaped structure, with the crossbar running the length of the lot and the stem placed across it. A large living-room, 21 feet 6 inches by 15 feet, with a fireplace at the far end, forms the stem, with a dining-room, 12 by 11, and an enclosed porch, 9 by 11, reinforcing it in the rear. The crossbar is made up of a bedroom, 11 feet 6 inches by 11 feet, with a closet, a short hallway with linen closet and bath opening from it, another bedroom of similar size with closet, kitchen, pantry and rear porch. Provision is made for a basement 11 by 20. Directly back of the kitchen is a place for a vegetable garden, with a garage cutting into one corner of it backed up by a chicken yard at the rear of the lot. To one side so as to afford a pleasant view from the porch is a long expanse of lawn set off by a hedge and a tiny cement pool with a semi-circular seat. The competition was open to architects of California and Arizona. Four prizes of $300, $15, $400 and $80 were awarded. The building was to be located on a suburban lot 110 by 10 feet, get back at least 25 feet, from the building line. The $5000 cost necessarily had to include expense of building, plumbing, electric wiring and utilities. The California Eagie the table where the wedding supper was spread. I still remember the smiles on the faces of Mary, Ethel Nellie, Camille, Stella, Fannie, Tama Rosetta, Corneille. Essie, Maudetta Mayme, and Estelle, as they showered us with rice, which had been concealed behind their place cards. After that the glad years and the sad hours spent in our little home but mostly the days that stand out are made brilliant by happiness. Queer the things that counted so, now are trivial things. The time we had in putting up the clothes posts in the back yard. Birthdays come back to me. How youthfully, silly we had been that first Christmas night, the girls, the boys, and the married couples. Well, our friendship for those same folk hasn't suffered any diminution and hasn't grown decrepit and feeble with old age as to threaten demise. In the Spring the pictures on the seed catalogues always lured us to making gardens, lettuce, corn and onions, which never grew, but no crop failure would take away the fun of those planting times, the apple tree in the back yard ('which is MAN IS WINNER cally built tile house of five rooms. still standing) would really have applies in a year. The night that we camped in Cajon Pass on our way to Victorville, is still vivid—when we thought we had heard a wildcat, how long we had stayed awake beneath the stars, close in each other's arms, whispering, those days, months and years were not all bright, for we had our quarrels over washing dishes, over bills, over his new gun and over his new hunting coat. Though all the pouting we had gone through couldn't be compared to the joy of the making up. I met a widow from Michigan the other day, and during our conversation, I told her that I was entering into the eleventh year of my married life. She looked at me askance and said: "Eleven years! Why I have been married twice in eight years!" "How sad," I answered, thinking that the grim-visitor death had robbed her of two husbands. "There is nothing sad about it," she replied, giving me one of those keen looks which always reminded me of the descriptions of the scratty of the council of ten in the days when "ilon's mouths" grinned at the street corners in Venice—"I divorced my first husband, and my second divorced me." Personally, I am against divorces unless in very, very extreme cases, and at any time I apply for a divorce, you may know that it is my last srst, but in this day and time, most folk look upon divorces as lightly as this young woman, and until marriage is looked upon as a sacred lifelong contract, the present social evils of frequent divorce and consecutive marriage will prevail. "I pronounce you man and wife" does not mean to live together as husband and wife driving pleasure but during life. Usually a wedding ```markdown ``` LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1920 THE OLDEST LARGEST AND LOS ANGELE of today is generally one in which costly hats and gowns completely vanquish all consideration of soli- emmity or sacredness in the supposed divine ordinance. The impressive command "I require and charge ye both as ye will answer to the dreadful day of judgment" does not obtain half so much awed attention as the exquisite handwork which fasting the bride's train to her shoulders. The marriage relation is the holiest of earthly institutions. There is probably no thought, which occupies most young women more than the thought of being married; there is probably no thought which occupies them less than that of how to be happy when married or how to make their husbands happy. I am referring mostly to women, for we are mostly the hot heads. We apply for more divorces than do the men. Why? Because we don't size the situation up from all angles. We want perfection in our homes, perfect peace continually. Did any woman who ever lived, find pleasure in perfection? Even in Art, it is undesirable. That's the beauty of IN CONTEST aspiration, the pleasures of effort never pall. There is always some reason for all your troubles, some Divine intention behind it. In a certain sense, I am an optomist—a discip of the obvious, that is to say. I believe in such derided maxims as "The darkest hour's before the dawn;" and, "It's a long lane that has no turning." Sorrow is as necessary to the spirit as pain is to the body. Without pain, we would not appreciate health, without sorrow, we would not undertsand joy. There is seldom an unhappy marriage that was not originally an unworthy one—hasty and heedless, if not positively vicious. No woman should marry a man whose affection and society are not absolutely essential to her peace of mind, and heart. Wives develop an amiable and gracious disposition, so when your husband's heart is burdened and full of cars of the day's work, he will feel when coming home that he is going to a wife who understands how to read in his face the thoughts of his heart, be to him as an invigorating breeze after a sultry day. Let him feel that at home and home only, he can find repose and sweet communion. Then there will never be a cause for a divorce. Husbands think of your wife as women fit to share your sorrow not as children to be pampered and played with and never to be burdened with your sterner cares. You men who are thinking of obtaining a divorce because as you say, "My wife doesn't care to have children," perhaps your "wild oats" sowed in your younger days is the cause. I know of a man who secured a divorce because he thought his wife was cheating him out of children. Two years later, both he and his wife married. Within the first year, his ex-wife became a mother. Then and not till then did it dawn upon him that he was physically unfit. He regretted, but his regret came too late. No one is contented in this world I believe. There is always something left to desire and the last thing longed for always seems the most necessary to happiness, but not so usually in a divorce, for this life is a school and the lesson never done, we will put down one man or woman for a fault and take up another who has a different fault or a worse one, and so on blundering here and blundering there, till we bunder into our graves. Each circumstance that happens to each one of us, brings its own special lesson and meaning—forms a link the chain of our existence. It seems nothing to you that you walk down a particular street at a particular hour, and yet that slight action of yours may lead to a result you think not of, for on that particular street at that particular hour you meet a friend, who is not the author of peace or lover of concord, she imparts to you that your husband's action in public towards a certain lady seems a little beyond the platonic, and if she were in your place, she would speak to him publicly. Now, never would this friend commit before the public that fault common to wives of "attacking the crown" as parliamentary language in monarchial countries style, it, but she is willing to advise you to do it, and is anxious to plant the seed of discontentment, and if nourished by you, the ultimate result would be a divorce. People ought not to say things that tend to disrumple a man or woman before his or her mate. I have never tried to conceal my longing for children, but it has always been looked upon as a joke. People would invariably say before my husband that I didn't want babies, because I was always on a go and wouldn't have time to look after them. Circumstantial evidence was against me. It was true that I was always on the go, for there was nothing to keep me from going. My husband heard that kind of talk so much that he had begun to believe it himself. I will take the joy of talking from my heart and will empty my pent up emotions to the public. After our honeymoon, month after month went by without the child I crave, my natural optimism kept me hoping, hoping, hoping. Every instance that came within my observation of persons who were married several years before their children came would give me renewed hope. I met a settled man once, and in recounting the many pieces of good fortune that had come his way, he said: "My wife and I were married twelve years and never a glimmer of a child. Then twins all of a sudden; and silly as it may seem, I felt satisfied at once that ours would be the same luck. I am not ashamed to admit that I want children, some women are, they will criticise the doing of other women's children to conceal the longing of their own, and then go to thinking of other women's children with that very same philosophical bitterness with which in a certain apologue the fox is represented as speaking of the grapes. After the first year, and no baby came, I began to take especial interest in children, my interest soon became centered in one little girl Florence. I found myself planning how I would train her if she were mine. Frequently I would persuade her mother to let me keep her over Saturday nights and take her to Sunday School, until finally her mother decided to let her live with us. Florence was with us three years. After she went to live with her married sister, I felt so desolate so desperately lonely. My first thought was of my chum, Troy, who had been my maid of honor, and was now living in my neighborhood. Mary, whom everyone at Long Beach High School had pitied for marrying; the brightest and most popular member of her class. She had drawn and painted home very good pictures for the RACE JOURNAL IN THE WEST school, and everybody had fully expected to see her win fame in the artist world. When I walked upon the porch, Mary, who was busy assorting her linen, did not hear me—with her laughing Claudius, Jr., on her shoulder, with his chubby arms about her neck and the sweet expression of confidence in little Mary Camile's face as she watched her mother, and the infinitely tender Madonna expression on her own, made indeed a beautiful picture, and as I stood, there came to my eyes unbidden, tears. I thought if those who had pitied Mary when she married, could only see her now as I saw her, their pity would be turned to envy. Since then, little Theodore and baby Emily are added to the family, and big Mary is as young in spirit as little Mary. How little can the outside world judge the innermost thoughts of a woman's heart. I have always wanted four children, namely, Anderson, Jr.; Gooddine, (from my mother's maiden name); Zelmurah Mary, (after my mother and chum) and Millie Lucille (after my husband's mother and sister). I used to spend hours looking at the cunning baby things so attractively displayed in the shops every time I bought anything for another infant it would be with the firm belief that in another year I would be buying things for my own. At Christmas time I would knit bootees and dress dolls and roam through the toy shops selecting gifts with never ending delight for my friends' children, yet when the day itself would come it seemed to accentuate the emptiness of our lives. I have found unalloyed pleasure with my dream babies. Anderson's childish triumpha in school, Gooddine's violin solo, Zelmurah Mary's first recitation, and Mollie Lucille's first vocal solo, are as real to me as if they have already been completed. I have followed them through every phase of childhood life. One day I would discuss in my mind the future of my boys, the next day the future of my girls. We would all be good companions, I would be their dearest friend, we would read together, work to gether and play together. Th morning of our seventh anniversary, a strange sensation possessed me. The spirit of prophecy had come to show me my dream babies. They were no longer children. Anderson, Jr. kissed me, he had just returned from his sophomore year at Harvard; Gooddine was waiting for me to go over his essay with him, as he was Valedictorian of his class at High School; Zelmurah Mary smiled at me the delightful smile of eighteen as she presented me with a birthday boquet; and Mollie Lucille sang a song she had learned for the occasion. I am planning wonderful years ahead. My husband is ever beside me, my comrade, my lover. Some folk will say how foolish to dream such things, but some of the sweetest moments in my life have been when I was planning for the dream babies, then too, it is far better than having an imaginary grievance and dream of a divorce. When I take up my sister's babies, little Roscoe, and ask him if he had seen any babies in babyland who had said that they were coming to our house, then squeeze, him so tight that any other baby would cry, he simply grins and says: "Da, Da," which I interpret as "Yes, Yes," so I will still live in hope if I die in despair. Now had God not intervened, there might have been a divorce in my family, simply thru unthoughtful people, who didn't know and could not understand. Think a dozen times instead of twice before settling on a divorce, for the snapping of the ties that bind us to the past, is a painful thing. The liberty of divorce does not contribute to happiness. The facility of separation destroys all mutual confidence. When people understand that they must live together except for a very few reasons known to the law, they learn to soften by mutual accommodation, that yoke which they know they cannot shake off. They become good husbands and good wives for necessity is a powerful matter in teaching the duties it imposes. EMILY BROWN CHILDRESS WILL WE STAND THE TEST WITH SINECURE GOVERNMENT A FARCE, THE AMERICAN IMPULSE OF HATRED WHETHER RACIAL OR CLASS, CANNOT STAND THE PRESSURE OF THE By R. Conkling Wassom. The pathway of the future is ever illumined by the light of past achievements, and if history has taught any truth—it is that NO NATION CAN ONCE FOR ALL TIME SETTLE ITS SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL DISPUTES. Into the warp and woof of the future American policy must be woven the traits of conservatism. Law to become effectice must coincide with the customs and usages of its people, in fact it must be an instilled rule of action that is sacred to its adherents. History is strewn with the wreckage of a Nation whose character is taunted with the blood stains of its lawless element that apparently wields the preponderance of influence and leaves the evidence of their heinousness as milestones in the roadway of their civilization. The dazzling opportunities of the American white man should make him an unbiased and efficacious creature, but instead he predicates his prejudices in such an unholly manner that the other Nations of the world pause to ask, after all is not the age in which we live deficient, in what others of the buried past were replete? The SUPREME END OF ALL GOOD GOVERNMENT is the establishment of LAW and ORDER. Why the American government refuses to pass a FEDERAL LYNCH LAW which would pull the Southland out of chaos and retrogression only proves that like other governments we too are doomed to the fate of the other Nations of the past: STAGNATION IN GOVERNMENTAL AFAIRS is the outcome of letting passions and prejudices dull their parrotism and blind them in their duties of promoting American citizenship and rendering Justice. With aching, hearts and shame stricken faces must Congress face the problem of the lynch law and deteriorating mob violence. Let not America exult herself in enlightened civilization nor boast of her freedom and liberty and justice WHILE A SINGLE CHARRED POST SENDS OUT ITS WAIL OF ANGUISH, of another BURNET OFFERING or a TASTE OF HELL has been perpetrated while in every Negro community in the confines of the United States the negro looks askance upon the visionary riots and outrages of the South. The vain attempt to gain by anarchy, the useless sacrifice of reverence for the law will sooner tend to wither the American hand of Commerce for the MURDERER'S HAND THAT REACHES OUT AND STRIKES AN UNTRIED VICTIM, because of the color of his skin or the texture of his hair, is only quickening the pulsation of the 14 million Negroes' hearts and encouraging them to leave for foreign shores. This veneered civilization that tends to drag into the mire of bestiality, murder, and slaughter pens the verdant minds of fourteen millions of peaceful black citizens is a farce. For sixty-five years the Negro has been waiting. Anxiety throbbing in his breast, eager but calm, always sacrificing his life, under the one and same standard for the protection of the same policies, the same American Principles and the same American Stars and Stripes as his Caucasian neighbor, fought for and NOW IN THE YEAR 1990—WE SHOULD, ALL, OF US, COME OUT THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN. NUMBER 51 FROM BEHIND THAT OLD LINCOLN PARIOTISM POLICY and ask MANFULLY BUT MANNERLY, for the ROLL CITIZENSHIP AS QUARANTEED UNDER THE CONSTIUION OF THE GOVERNMENT we have so loyally served. Lincoln's patriotism has covered many a sin and shame, but we today should, like Baldwin's Ass, speak right in meeting and ask the American Nation emphatically, WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO FOR US AND WHEN? This veneered civilization of the white man cannot stand the pressure of the times; it will fade or the the stagnation of its revelry will inoculate the very atmosphere that cicumcribes and circumvents the Nation's Capitol. The American impulse of hatred will not stand the acid test much longer, for if governments cannot cope with the conditions of its lawless element and the heinous attitude of public sentiment, migration is imminent and foreign influences will extend a helping hand to the less fortunate. The cupidity of the white man and the stupidity of the Negro is a thing of the past, and as patience oftimes ceases to be a virtue, the Negro, seeing he cannot move the conditions in a manly way, will then move from the condition. Here we are at last, just what we have been waiting for. William Carroll has leased the seven-acre track from 53rd to 55th Sts. on Long Beach Ave., from the Pacific Electric Railroad Company and will build a Base Ball and Amusement Park and Amphitheatre, 60X40 Feet, which can be used for dancing, skating and concerts and other features also. Naitortium 80X40 Feet, 40 feet for ladies and 40 feet for men, with instructor to teach all who do not know how to swim; also a Lawn Tennis Court. Manager Carroll has the backing and will build o. of the finest amusement parks for our race, West of Chicago. The Grand Stand will seat 1200 people, with 50 private boxes, each box will accommodate from 4 to 6 people. The opening game will be played Washington's Birthday and the building has already started. Manager Carroll intends to put one of the strongest Base Ball teams that ever represented Los Angeles on the field. He has always been connectd with different branches of sport; was Captain and Manager of the Tribbys team which won the Amateur championship of California in 1896 and 1897; also was the first Race man to take a Base Ball team out of Los Angeles County and the only one to take a team out of the State and the first to send a Ball player East, to play ball when he sent pitcher Robert Shaw East in 1897.

At the. morning hour the pastor preached a powerful expository ser- mon; ‘ext, St. Matt. 7:14. The mev- sage was indeed helpful and much inspiration received therefrom. The [necessity for the prdfessors of the ‘Christ spirit to cease from all things ‘that is not in conformity with the ‘Divine word.

At 8 p. m, the pastor delivered another searching and edi- fying message, Text St. Matt. 10:22. ‘The Lord wonderfuily used his mes- senger at this hour.

Condante FOR GIRLS (Charlotte Brickhouse) When little boys with merry noise In meadows shout and run And little girls, sweet woman bud Brightly open in the sun;— I may not of the world despair, Our God despaireth not I see. For blithesomer in Eden's air These lads and maidens could not be. Why were they born, if hope must die? Wherefore this health, if Truth should fail? Heroes I Would Reccommend. Continued from last issue) Contrary to some opinions the 368th Inf. did not fail in the Argonne action and here I am compiling an official list of men decorated and mentioned in orders. The regiment has been grossly misrepresented, because of the errors made by one or two of the Battallions. And these errors were not the fault of company officers and should not be held as an reflection on Negro officers. Battallion Commanders were responsible for the errors made in each instance. With Vienne-le-Chateau as our starting point, September 25th found the 3rd battalion in position for the great offensive, which was to start simultaneously the entire length of the Allied line. Terrific artillery preparation was to be made and at Officers' conference was told that every 25 square yards was to be covered by artillery fire. So you can see with what detail this greatest of offensives was figured. The 77th Division of New York was on the right. The 183 Chaussers (French Division) on the left. We in the center were to maintain Laison. Our objective was Binarville, some 4 or 5 kilometers North of Vienne-le-Chateau. Imense wire fields were in our immediate front and no wire cutters to grapple with heavy wire. No rifle granades for the reduction of machine gun nests. And this forest was literally alive with them. No rockets for calling barrages. No artillery. No panels with which to use in connection with airplanes, the very eyes of the army. No equipment whatsoever with which to eser nwarfare calls for. Could much be tablish the proper Laison that modern warfare calls for. Could much be accomplished with no essential equipment with which to use. I remember very distinctly on one occasion 7 bombing planes circled over our tresses for some time, trying to make out who we were and ask anyone who has been oversea what an airplane bomb will do. These faults were not the faults of Companies, Battallion Commanders were responsible. Now without the above equipment the objective was made and held, the latter meaning more than a thousand formers. This forest had been held the four years of the war by the Germans and Germans are not idle in the times they occupy a position. They work night and day perfecting means for safety of the men. And that is one reason most people don't or couldn't understand why positions were held with so few men. It was because the Germans made a science of war. You can imagine what wire entanglements were there. How all approaches were covered with machine gun fire, and registered for artillery fire. With all handicaps the 368th Inf. reached and held their object. At 24 hours (Army time) and started the artillery bombment it was; all caliber of guns were fired—From immense 14-inch naval guns to 75's and the group fairly shook with the detonations. This was continued until Zero hour when approximately 650,000 men climbed over the top and the offensive was clear of the Huns. It rained continually, the ground ankle-deep of red clay; men drenched to the skin with water. Nothing to sleep upon but mother earth and the crying sky for cover. Clothes torn to shreds by the wire, shoes worn out and leaking. Iron rations and that meager was some of things that we had to bear. Not a very encouraging out-look do you think? Yet not a mother's son faltered. Some still lie there in France's soil as mute evidence that the American Negro did his bit. With a rolling barrage the boys went over and facts don't lie they did their stuff. This was the first phase of the Arrgonne offensive. The total casualties were 450 (official); 4 officers and as many enlisted men decorated with American distinguished service cross. Some mentioned in orders and with all the offices against us. Its remarkable Cast, Walter Green and Lieut. Nor- During the lull in Tennis enthusiasm, let us meet at the Y. M. C. A. every Tuesday night at 8 o'clock for basketball. The class is open to any woman and girl interested in the game. Why should the Christmas holidays play such havock with our regular schedule for work. Is it not possible for those who wish to learn the language of la belle France to meet every Friday evening, at 8? May we repeat our call for the registering of rooms to be rented? There is no charge for listing these rooms. We simply want to be of service to the strangers within our gates. The Y. W. C. A. is not an institution, but a movement working with girls and women that they may have better bodies, a chance for self-development, higher ideals.

Gray) The question has been asked concerning the lack of vocal students and singers in this city. There seems to be no plausible answer ready, unless it is that the race is too lazy in this respect to study. It will be difficult to find a community in this country that has all advantages for study, and the number of good teachers available as this city has, with so few real race students of the voice. In fact there seems to be very little interest shown in singing. Here and there on encounters a few persons who are taking lessons but the real earnest student is rare. The rich melodious voice of the young Negro is not being given the proper cultivation to ensure a musical future for singers. This community is one of instrumentalists, with the piano leading. Any number of young people can be found who are doing excellent work on instruments but also, how many can be found who will possibly be our The writer remembers, when a good pianist was hard to find in this city, but our present condition was largely brought about by our own race teachers who sacrificed time, money and labor to study with good teachers and in turn gave freely of their knowledge to members of their rac who were less fortunate. The same is true of the violin and pipe organ, and the same must be true of the voice. There must be more race teachers of the voice, who have had sufficient training to guide the careers of our young people and pave the way for future singers. The majority of race students must teach. They are responsible for the preservation of the rich mellow voice of the Negro. To them must we look for cultivation. To them must we look for stimulation and to them is entrusted this noble task of developing our precious birthright. As long a sour singers are too lazy to study or lack enough ambition to try and learn as much as possible, no matter what the sacrifice to be able to impart that knowledge, just so long shall we be poor in students and therefore poor in artists. The purpose of the Y. W. C. A. is to associate young women in personal loyalty to Jesus; to promote growth in Christian character and service through physical, social, mental and spiritual training; and to become a social force for the extension of the Kingdom of God. The Y. W. C. A. reaches girls and women through the following channels: Girls Work High School, Grade School, and Employed; Physical Education: Out-door Sports; Religious Education: Vespers; City Service-Traveler's Aid and Room Registry; Recreation: Hermosa Cottage and Huntington Park Club House; Social Activities: Reading Room with Public Library books; Club rooms used by various clubs of the city. The Y. W. C. A. campaign for current expenses will be February 16-26. What stand will you take for the girls and women of your race? Do you realise that you can tear down in five minutes of destructive criticism what five years of constructive work can with difficulty build up? The Y. W. C. A. is a recognized constructive force in any community—so granted by real thinkers. Will you let us measure your appreciation of good work by your contribution to our campaign fund.—February 16-26. INTERDENOMINATIONAL MINISTERS' ALLIANCE. At the regular meeting of the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance held at the Ninth Street Y. M. C. A. Branch, the matter of selecting and supporting unanimously a colored candidate for the Seventy-fourth District, was considered. Every denomination of the city was represented by its Minister, all of whom took part in the discussion. In the discussion both white and colored people who gave Mr. Frederick M. Roberts so loyal and undivided support, came in for the most pronounced commendation. Nor did the Ministers forget the newspapers of the city that so strongly stood by Mr. Roberts. There was but one man in the mind of each Minister, and that man is the Honorable Frederick M. Roberts. The following Resolution was unanimously carried by standing vote: In recognition of the standing of The Honorable Frederick M. Roberts in the eyes of the public; In appreciation of his excellent work as Assemblyman, representing all the people of the Seventy-Fourth District with impartiality, distinction, and credit; BE IT RESOLVED: That we, the Minister of the Interdenominational Alliance hereby put forth Mr. Frederick M. Roberts as the choice of our people; and we pledge him our undivided support as the representative of the Seventy-Fourth District in the State Assembly. FORUM NOTES Sunday last was open day at the Forum. Needless to say the time was well filled with spirited argument on subjects vital in this ever restless day when every earnest soul is seeking some solution of its present difficulties. All colored Los Angeles will undoubtedly be present at the Forum Sunday when a very prominent N. A. A. C. P. worker will present the Elaine Rioters' cause in its entirety and their plea for a new trial before the Supreme Court—A collection will be taken to aid this cause which should, in its present condition, lay heavily upon every black man's heart—So we beg of you in the name of Meray and Justice to come out Sunday and swell the fund that our Black brother shall not call to us in vain in this, his hour of distress.

The Daily Kecord has at- tempted recently to ,dominate |the Government in its-Post Of- [fice service and has sought to transplant our Street Car ser- vice with Jitney busses, and was neither satisfied nor content and now its ‘latest as- piration is to run the Police De- partment of Los Angeles. It seeks to discredit thé admitted- ly efficient police work of Geo. Home, Chief 8£ Police. Some say there is a pernicious ani- [mous behind this recent attack and others say it is a movement fostered by ain person other than Geo. Home to become the next Sheriff of Los Angeles County, but be tnat as it may the Record is always crying about something and its wail is always looked for. In fact it would be a great big surprise if it should fail to come from periodically with a hue and ery against some condition or some individual. The wise ones say the Record is dead sore be- cause Mayor Snyder failed to unionize the City Hall and stood pat for pure and undefil- ed Americanism, and is trying to start something by attack- ing the Mayor's appointee, [George Home. However, the people are so used to this prop- atanda that they now shie at the same and in general pass it up as bunk, pute artd simple. Chief Home evidently had good and sufficient reasons for all appointments which he has made. at least the people will give him credit for the same, to successfully conduct his very important position he must be unhampered and free to carry on his work in his own way and the Mayor seems to have that confidence in his abiiiiy as to thoroughly trust him in the premises. The Record could I find no vulnerable point of at- tack except to go sewer wash- ing and exhum:ng the grave yard, and there they bring forth the records in most of the cases mentioned from a_dis- credited administration. Take the case of Broady and White, a good dog would ‘not have deen dismissed on the flimsy and uncorroborated testimony brought forth in their case. At that trial George Home testified that they were ef- ficient, worthy and _ reliable officers and in their case he is simply doing the right thing, the square thing, prac- ticing what he preaches; we are glad to see that we have a Chief who will stand by his guns and by. practical demon- stration do the things which he speaks as in the case of these two officers who always were a terror to evil doers. This is not the sort of man though of whom the Record would speak well as evidenced in its re- cent and periodical attack. As to the others in the absence of any thing to the contrary we shall maintain that as Chief of Police: of a great big Metropoli- PO ee ARES eA eC TEST Ue NEE Mer RENE et Med STOR EME TR ATOR et Yen Co tT Oi fe een ie enn Ee oF Pe BRIS SS ais OSES Ge ng aap ence CB egal Eger deme aie, ST ages st a eis Ap ERR emt IST fs : i ee ‘ ig tha age one Bay hoes Fh eee ot PS tee A Pergtte : Se SST CT a | te : 32 Saha SO IE Pena Re ee Tato, Ea eae ete ee as + af emthem ° ae a been ee ee ee oe ee ee: | o| ele te els f- sh. 2 Qe = : io ae Keep Your Eye Here, | Big things coming up!

I have not felt that with all my efforts I have given to them the best in me, but one in year, a president merely learns her fellow members, and I hope that my successor will find in the girls the good that I have found and will play to that good.

THE DANIELS AND KNOX SHOOT ING CASE AIRED IN JUSTICE PALMER'S COURT The preliminary hearing of Barney Daniels for shooting at C. E. Knox a few days ago at 12th and Central Ave., was held Wednesday before Justice Palmer. Daniels was most ably defended by Attorney G. W. Wickliffe and although held for trial in the Superior Court put up such a defense as to draw from the court the opinion that no jury would ever convict on the showing made by the prosecution. The court went further and branded the prosecution witnesses, Mr. Knox and Hall as consumate liars, and stated that if they told the truth that it was a mistake and an error on their part. The evidence adduced at the hearing showed that Knox had attempted undue attention on Mrs. Daniels the wife of Barney Daniels, she testified that he attempted to assault her. A letter which she wrote to her husband who was at Pittsburg showed that she sent for him to come home, and on coming home he sent for Knox and with a stern warning, he promised to never offend again, but recanted and called him up shortly thereafter and spoke very harshly and in a braggadocia manner of the affair; and then on the next morning did the shooting take place when he admitted on the stand of firing six shots at Knox. Chinese joints and churchaints. Prosecution witness Hall was severely grilled by the Court by cross-examination. Hall accompanied Knox with the two Mrs. Daniels to a Chinese Chop Suey joint and after 12 o'clock testified they came back to Hall's Apartments and discussed many church affairs. He testified that they went to the Daniels home, this was in direct opposition to the testimony of Knox who testified he had never been at the Daniels' home at all. It was after this testimony by Hall that the Court stated that if Knox or Hall told the rith at any stage of the proceeding they did so by mistake. Tuesday evening, February 17, at 8.15 p. m.

Send stamp for reply Practically the entire Tennis gang turned out last Saturday and Sunday, upon the several courts to break the usual Xmas slump. The Xmas set back generally throws a doble-jointed financial kink into the family bank roll, and some of the regulars who have recovered will never look the same. A pretty collection of feminine athletes decorated both the Omega and West Side yards while the Alpha grounds were also heavily taxed with a mixture of cat-gut specialists, eager to iron out the rinkles in their arms and lower extremities, and incidentally open up the racquet season. But the rank and file are far from dead ones at that, each club is hurrying in to square itself with the Federation for the New Year and are lining up for socials, entertainments, dances and tournament dates, recognizing that the little item called d-u-e-s is quite essential to their individual athletic life,—have a care club officials, lest your club becomes black-listed. The far famed country club under the name of The Suburban Tennis Club with a membership above 40 is planning an elephantine party of gigantic proportions which threatens the efforts of all other clubs in the past. On the 26th day of January, 1920 the Alpha Parthenial Tennis Club celebrated its first birthday anniversary, shaking loose its swaddling clothes and blossomed into an adult. Watch these girls for a thriller soon. The West Side Tennis Club has started something by announcing their Valentine dance party scheduled for Saturday Night, February 14th, at Normandie Hall, each of the paraders will be labeled with a snappy Valentine in exchange for the 35 seeds the gate keeper extracted. The Alpha Tennis Club at an early date will hold in joint session with The Alpha Partheniai Tennis Club an open house party at the installation of officers of both clubs, inviting the entire tennis element of players, fans and supporters as their guests where they can sip war time kickless fire-water until seasick; then jazz around the amphitheatre until thoroughly exhausted, and they won't take your money at the door either: the only thing you spend is the evening. This will they do to show in a small way their appreciation of the splendid support the game received from the public during the past year in many tennis campaigns. A bunch of former Colorado boys —Lloyd Hall, Clarence Pritchett, Raymond Clark, Ed. Hamilton and eight others of the same caliber members of The Colorado Club have burdened the mail carriers this week packing invites all over town to only the select. The affair is called Select Dancing, Party, Blanchard Hall, January 30th—get the class though, two orchestras, singers, favors and a lot of other kale extortion devices. These birds claim to be showing the Coast crowd up, so let's keep our eyes peeled as these bush leaguers may pull some small town stuff on us while we are not looking and make us think it is a "Broadway hit!" Outside of this there is nothing going on. There's water in the briiny deep or shins would not be in it; There's something behind everything within this life we're living. That makes it stand or backs it as it runs. Now honest, folks we need good-will, the much advice you're giving. But just what keeps the old plant up is funds. Cold Funds. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE urance --- Notary come victims of the H. C. L. And verily is this true. We have come to the point where we are hoping to have an institution of which all California will be proud, and on that day we will all be proud of the part we had in making it so. But ask yourself if it is fair to part a lip concerning what "I have contributed" when in these days, the results and records of which we must base our claims for better, ours is only advice, good-will, unfinished membership accounts and less. We have more now than ever and a better chance than ever and therefore is more expected of us so it is up to us of Good Will to follow the examples of our good friend and brother D. C. Williamson, age 65, laborer, who has come to the building five times this year only to "bring a dollar and see how the good work is getting along," and a little news boy of Central Avenue, Freddie Butler, who is paying twenty-five cents a week out of his meager earnings to "play square with the other fellows who are paying," and a number of others who are "paid up." Memberships are $3 and $5 each per year. Have you started or finished paying yours yet? Attend to that today. Miss Caution and the Y. W. Girls are learning to play basket ball in our gym.

The object is to promote the interest of these fellows in their school work, to keep in touch with modern affairs in which all modern young American citizens should be interested, to bring youths who are struggling for a common purpose together from all parts of the city and vicinity. And to keep them in touch with men among us who have been successful in the professions. busi- THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Since 1852 D.

INCORPORATED under the laws of the State of Illinois as an Old Line or Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company and is at the present time under state supervision. THE AWAKENING OF THE NEGRO The Condition of the Negro business men in Chicago today should be a warning to every Race-loving Negro in the United States TO GET TOGETHER. Because during the past fifty years those who have lived in Chicago have made MILLIONAIRES among every nationality known to civilization that offered them the least bit of encouragement for their patronage and they have all made a PAUPER of every NEGRO who dares to enter into COMPETITION with these people for our trade. The results of our loyalty to the other fellow finds us today without any State Banks, Legal Reserve Life Insurance Companies, Fire Insurance Companies, Wholesale Houses of any kind whatsoever, Department Stores, Laundries, First Class Hotels and various other business establishments necessary for the upbuilding of a Race. WORLD'S WAR DISCOVERS NEGROES' BEST FRIEND The one fault which has retarded our progress more than all of the others combined has been caused by our permitting the other fellow to plant the seed of DISTRUST among us and so well did he plant the seed that not until the recent war did the Negro realize that his best friend was his own people. No matter what our past grievances have been or what our future understanding may be, when the smoke of Distrust has cleared away and the harsh words spoken have ceased to cause pain, every Negro must be found cemented together "ONE FOR ALL, AND ALL FOR ONE." LIBERTY LIFE TO OUR RESCUE The LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of ILINOIS is going to be to the Negroes what the other Life Insurance Companies are to the white race, a medium through which they can obtain cheap money on approved securities. Without an available supply of cheap interest money there is but little hope for our financial development as a Race of people. The success of Standard Life of Atlanta, Ga., and the North Carolina Mutual of Durham, N.C., is sufficient proof that our men are capable of managing large financial institutions. Life Insurance Companies of the United States control more money than all of the National Banks, State Banks and Private Banks combined. AN APPEAL TO EVERY RACE LOVING NEGRO More than Fifteen Million loyal Race loving Negroes are interested in the Liberty Life Insurance Company, and the few thousand shares of stock we have left cannot last very long, because every day subscriptions are being received from all parts of the country. Every Negro should consider it his indispensable duty to invest at least $80,00 in fostering such a noble undertaking.

The stockholders are all on an equal standing with each other, all paying the same price, $30.00 per share, for their stock and each having an opportunity to purchase the same number of shares to the end that all may be treated alike and the control of the organization by a few owners prevented.

Hughes were guests at the informal reception given for Dr. John A. M. Zeigler, the new pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of this city. Rev. Hughes delivered one of the addresses of welcome. The Stranger Says: That that was some appointment that the State President of the League made.

Hughes, Pastor The Northern division of the Southern District of the Allen C. E. League held a big and successful session at this church the past Sunday. State officers on the platform were: B. W.
