NDLER OWEN, OF NEW YORK, AT THE FORUM SUNDAY One of the greatest thinkers and educators not only among Negroes, but also the United States will speak in Los Angeles during the following week. It is Chandler Owen, Editor of the Messenger Magazine. He now on a lecture tour, leaving New York January 26th. He has been on a lecture tour, Michigan at the Second Baptist church, New M. Gilbert, pastor; January 30 he spoke at Trinity M. E. Church of Chicago before a large and appreciative audience. For eight days in Chicago he was constantly speaking and being entertained by Chicago's most distinguished citizens. Mrs. Iris Bush Banks, Executive Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., held a reception for him. The Appomatto Club of Chicago, the finest club which Negroes have in the world, an exquisite banquet in his honor. The club was so busy for him, Mrs. Ida Wells Barnell, well-known fighter for the race entertained him at her home. This reception was attended by Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Abbot of the Chicago Defender. Friday night, Feb. 3rd, he was guest of Attorney Westbrook, President of the Cook County Bar THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Chandler Owen Association. Several of Chicago's white judges were amazed at his able and masterly address on that occasion. Feb. 5th found him in Bloomington, Illinois, where in the Unitarian with he addressed a house packed with books and a large impression made that he was invited to address the Illinois State Normal University Monday, Feb. 6th, which he did before the entire student body and faculty. In Indianapolis Mr. Owen spoke at Bethel A. M. E. Church two nights in succession. He was the guest at Louis the Business Maloney, in St. Louis the Business Maloney, Association and him appear at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church before what was conceded to be the largest intellectual audience assembled in that city. Last Saturday and Sunday found him in Denver, Colorado. The big Palatiers Hall was jammed with white people to hear him as early as 10 a.m. He reached the P. E. Church of the Redegger Sunday afternoon both white and colored people were crowding the alley. Shortly he was unable to get more than foot room to stand. It was conceded to have been the greatest treat of the West. Chandler Owen is known among all groups of people of all races. On December 3rd, he addressed the Intercollegiate S. Society of Columbia University, in Kent Hall, the law building. October 18th he addressed the Social Problems Club of the College of the City of New York. Mon. Thomas W. Churchill, the former President of the New York University School of Education, says of him: "He is a man of very ample social endowments, of intellectual training, a thinker, writer and teacher of extraordinary power. I know no one of his peers who is so well educated or so fond of teaching. I should not be able to have any association with me in any way. I have been praising and blackened, insulted and invoked upon which I am our race should avail themselves of the rare opportunity to hear him He is reputed to be a clear, logical thinker, a forceful and fluent orator. Forum Sunday afternoon at 4:30; Tabcarnale Baptist Tuesday night, auspices P. C. N. I. Other dates later. BLACKS AND WHITES. I am writing this from Paris, having been informed of the reality (Congress of Negroes, journey of M. A. Sarraut in Africa) by the only newspapers of the region. This isolation is profitable for mediation, but it excludes discussion. One form an opinion on things and perhaps, if one is conversing with such and such a specialist, this opinion would be modified. Necessary, preamble to announce to the reader that the ideas exposed in this chronicle engage only me. I should say no means, be astonished or impressed if tomorrow or later, a doctrine exactly contrary was forbidden. Moreover, I wish it. The object is of such importance that it is useful to enlarge the discussion. The root of the question; here it is; there is, in the vast French colonial domain, a great number of black subjects. Must one, while treating these subjects humanely, hold from them the civic privileges accorded the whites? Should one, on the other hand, exert one's self to raise their complete civilization and consequently social and political equality? Let us firmly leave aside the metaphysical or sentimental point of view; let us discuss and judge from the "French" pot of view. Which of the two solutions is more favorable to the security and to the grandeur of Frane? The example of America impresses one much by its good spirit. One says to one's self; there is a great people, practical and idealistic at the heart of the same vices everywhere; the happenings in Los Angeles prove it. But in theory, the American is moral and religious. Well! you will not meet one American in a thousand who treats the Negro as his human equal. And if you ask him the reason, he relates a hundred stories to you proving that the Negro is a lower man, capable of violence, of a brain of child, with the vaceracies, and what is more perilous, the forces of an adult. I have often seen the same mentality among the most moderate and the most sensible French creoles. The intervention of the blocks in public affairs seems a monstrosity to them, that is, for them, as if one entrusted political functions to ignorant street urchins and malefactors. In their memory there still exists the tragic tales of revolts of former times, of pillaging, of fires, of massacres that their parents and their children had been in the account of the blocks. The innocent civil equality with such crimes to submit even to their government—no! they prefer to quit暴行 the island of their ancestors and return to the mother country. There is the sound of the bell. Let us lend an ear to the one who comes to us from the other side. Here you ever heard French offence, have commanded, blacks and whites, have commanded, blacks and whites, there exists backward tribes, wary near to beasts, and abomination, whom force alone is right. But the "French" black troops, those who assisted the slanderous rage of the Germans, the troops of Archnair, of Mungin, of Dagoutte, this disarmament, of supposed inferior race, how it is, the application of such contemptible shields, produced such contemptible? Do not say that I have stitched antiphroed monkeys, and they would always be stiffened to me and to me. You will not and the modern not. dier. And then, it is not only the military qualities of these black troops that the great chiefs, whose names I have mentioned, boast of it, it is their devotion, their fidelity, their love. I have seen tears glisten in the eyes of these great chiefs, when he was speaking of his legion, how to carelessly such an amount of test money. Let us study it closer and try to explain the consequences of of it. Consequences ethnical: it is possible to make of the blacks armies equal in valor and civilization to the best white armies. French consequences: France is, up to the present, the only country that has succeeded in such an enterprise, and she has succeeded magnificently. Cannot one conclude from this that the education of the blacks is not a vain enterprise, and that France is particularly designated to bring it to this end? One of the greatest reasons that France assumes this role is that, apart from the creoles, no Frenchman has, like the American, a horror of the Negro. It is not a strain on his sensitiveness to treat the man of color as a human equal. As a people, the Negro is sympathetic. No woman of Paris will dream of moving away from his, in a street car, I remember having had, at the College of Jesuits at Bordeaux, some Negro comrades. Saving—always—the creoles, we admitted them to perfect equality with us. It is beaten up by the people between peoples a profound, inborn, sentiment that one man is as good as another, and that, is social distinctions are inevitable, it is in the common domain of human rights that inequality ceases to be. All of our history abounds in testimonies of this sort. Do you remember the vols of Solessons: the "Who has made you a Count?" recalling the answer: "Who has made you King?" the enfranchisement of the communes, the independence of Parliament and of the old clergy; all that before the coming to an end of the Declaration of the Rights of Man is the birth of freedom and if someone the principle to the point of vainly wishig to oppose the laws of nature and of society—with the more sensible among us there exists a scorn of differences that the superadded by hypocrisy or by pride. Thus, it is not, I believe a chimerical task of entrust to France the initial task of elevating to our level these disinherited brothers. The peril lies in elevating them at one effort and too quickly, and to give them before their civilization the functions of civilized men. The toga does not make the magistrate; nothing can replace the improving action of time. If one has (as I hear it said) stupidly covered up the elephant skin of a poor multitivated blacks, it will compromise the future of their civilization. I am daring to say my whole opinion; it is by his passage through the army that the black will acquire his rights of citizenship. The military organization is the nearest thing to what he knows about, or at least he knows in advance much of its methods. Order, discipline, justice, the industry of the whites appears to him much more clearly in the army than elsewhere. All the French qualities are in full play among the colonial troops where the army, in many places, intensifies and sums up the civilization. This is why, all condescension to the French, the Idea of a black army, for a people sincerely for equality and without prejudice of races such as are the French, is eminently civilising. I hear the objection: "When you shall have made these inferior brothers, your equals, they will be as strong, perhaps stronger, than you." The objection is old, old as the civilized world; it has not prevented the artifactic culture of little among men. The ancient slave, the sort of the moyen age, the Russian peasant of yesterday, have also been considered as inferior brothers, as backward children; and one does not take into account that, in the situation where they now are, they could not be something else. Christianity has abolished ancient slavery; the modern spirit has freed the serf; the Russian serf service, only half the amount has resulted in lution that is an agony. One does not suppress forces by compromising them; it is worth more to seize them and utilize them. We ask the Reform Democrats and those who mold opinions of the people, the Press: Don't you think that it is time for all to stop and flick? Take stock of the past that we might meet the problems of the future in an intelligent manner it seems to the "man in the process" that we are injecting the question of color too often in our as American citizens. We build up barriers instead of tearing them down. We dey prescriptio, segregation and a few other "tons" with one breath, and then rebuild them higher, intrench them stronger, with another breath. If we are segrated in a place of amusement or other public place we gather and protest by resolution, then turn about face, and say that we should do "this br that" because we are colored. We have men of color who preach segregation, and are more rabid in their denunciation than the most bigoted negrophobist of the Bourbon type. CURRY, BARBOUR, NOLAN Three California Republican Congressmen. What was the incentive behind their vote when they voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill? It seems strange—exceedingly strange—that Congressmen representing a State recognized the length and breadth of the nation for its fair judgment where human liberty is concerned, and justice thrust to all, should so far forget not unlike the traditions of the State but the basic principles of the party which they are supposed to represent by declaring themselves against Federal intervention to prohibit the murdering of American citizens. Did they trade their "birthright for the dish of Bourbon potash" or did they sacrifice the principles of justice on the altar of prejudice? Perhase factorly explain no their constituency why they voted to defeat the enactment of the law which seeks to be and violators of the Constitutional law of the United States unto every citizen the right of a fair trial. This defection of Curry, Barbour and Nolan may be the cause of much trouble for the Republican party throughout the entire State during the November election. RACE SOLIDARITY Race solidarity is an appealing thing when it is needed to better the cause of national homogeneity, but when it aims to create a feeling of distrust between the Races which compose a nation it becomes not only a dangerous thing for the race, but for the progress and welfare of the nation. We believe that Negroes should seek to establish Banks, Stores, build Ships and enter into all of the commercial and industrial activities which civilization demands, but we believe that those activities should be entered into and accomplished as citizens of whatever country we owe allegiance to. We feel that the color and the design THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION SHALL BE LIVED UP TO AS AN AMERICAN RIGHT: the sooner will it be recognized that the persecution of any class of citizens is cause for national protection: that color is no barrier to equal justice. The color issue is one upon which the politicians fatten. It is what keeps the most of them before the footlights. UTICA INSTITUTE MISS. The Annual Negro Farmers' Conference was held here at Ufla Normal and Industrial Institute, February 1st and 2nd. Although Feb. 1st, was a very rainy day, farmers came from all over the state; most of them having reached here the night before; so that despite the rain, they assembled and told their simple stories of their efforts to get ahead. Principal Holtsciss was elected president of the Conference for the 18th year, and advised the farmers to become independent landowners as far as possible. He counseled temperance and progressiveness. He especially appealed to the farmers to make better homes for their wives and children as they make progress in the purchasing of land. But perhaps the most touching part of his address, with reference to the relation between the races, in the presence of professional men, business men, and farmers, both white and Colored, who were seated on the platform. He spoke eat against lynching which he termed as America's shame, and he declared to look the world in the face, unless it can so manipulate its government, that this vicious element of whatever race, can be controlled and directed. He declared that it is not the Negro on trial, but the white man, and that it is he who must answer before the bar of Almighty God, for the lives of those whose fate is in a measure entrusted to his care. PROMINENT I. A. STUDENT CONVALUENT. Miss Milred Washington, a student of the L. A. High school who has been very ill at her home 1316 D. Fifth St. is much improved. Miss Washington is on the honor call at L. A. High and is an exceptionally bright and ambitious student, and many friends will be happy when she is to return to school and LIST OF DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS VOTING FOR AND AGAINST THE DYER BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public the following List of Republicans and Democrat voting for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and of Republicans who voted against it.

(By Lamar Bomar) Mrs. Lamar Bomar, county hospital is silently improved hospital is still unimproved. There's no chance the condition of M. J. W. Coleman. Misses Helen and Mamie Baucom of 3120 Upper Bivd. are improving. Mother Evans, who is ill at the County hospital, is about the same. Don't forget the exercises for the Winter '22 graduates at the Mount Olive Baptist church Tuesday evening, Feb. 21. Mr. Willet, the proprietor of a grocery store in this community, was forced to quit business, as a result of the boycott that was started some weeks ago by the people of Boyle Heights. It was alleged that when Mr. S. J. Waltlaker, proprietor of the Greenbug Tail Service, purchased property opposite that of Mr. Willet that grievous opposition was raised by the latter because of Mr. Waltlaker. Colored man. For this reason the people of this district, who are Race losers and loyal to the core, decided to cease trading with Mr. Willet, and he went out of business as a natural consequence. Temple Brothers (Jerish) are now managing the store and they have promised that we shall receive numerous treatment and the best quality and quantity for our power. These men are friendly depicted in ward our group, say they believe in treating all people alike, regardless of color or previous condition; and they solicit our patronage. Mr. Lucian Blackwell, a prominent young man of Boyle Heights and a graduate of Pollytechnic High School, who recently entered Howard University, has received a scholarship for his success as a Boyle High School student. He was elected captain of the Freshman team of 1920 and last year was chosen as full back of the Varsity team. During a trip to Fliak University to play a competitive game, Mr. Blackwell experienced his first taste of Jim-Crowism. He says give him the North and West all the time. A NATION'S INGRATITUDE WRITTEN AND COMPOSED BY G. S. GRANT. O'er all the land the call was sent To low and high degree, Into each home the summons fent. Come pay the nation's fee. This country which has sheltered you Needs your valiant arm; A few came freely to this call, From sense of duty high; They loved their country best of all, For her would even die. But many others who with pride Told of their father's deed; Used every schedule to dodge and hide. What seemed their country's need. One race alone, on valiant clan. Of all this mongrel lot, Old answer almost to a man; Their many wrongs forgot. And each black boson held a heart That loyal beard and true; And each black soldier did his part. The oft 'twas hard to do. The meanest work to them assigned Was nobly done, and well. With treatment cruel thru hate designed They fought their way thru hell. Does it seem strange that in each breast a hope could fondly grow; That should they do their very best, Their honest worth to show. Their land would recognition pay Black manhood, and respect; Wag this presumption, tell me pray, Did they too much expect? Perhaps 'twas bold in them to dream This justice to secure, Without their handicap 'twould seem The whites could not endure. For when these heroes homeward came . The same old hell was found, And to this nation's lasting shape The curse was gaining ground. A butchered woman's unborn child, Kicked thru the Georgia's dust; Was ever German act so wild With bralex, beastial lust? Then East St. Louis jealous grew Of Southern chivalry And started killing black folk, too, In earnest rivalry. In Washington, D. C., hate supreme Held full away for a spell. And hunting blacks became the theme Of hoodlum, crook and swill. Chicago next this pastime tried, But came out second best. The blacks had learned to fight, not hide. The hunt soon lost its rest. So these brave men not loathe to die For World Democracy Now knew they'd fought for one big lie, A white hypocrisy. And this reward their country gave For loyal service done. They lynched and burned their soldiers brave Yet called the German "Hun." On national white in this great time Has proved so much more valuable. J. H. Shackelford, Insurance, Notary Public, Real Estate 1315 E.12th St. Main 6368 J. H. S Business Chat SLOTHFULNESS AND BILIGENCE IN BUSINESS: FROM THE BOOK OF PROVERBS. Go to the art, thou art bard; consider her ways and be wise: Which, having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat, in the summer and gathereth her food in the harvest. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy come as one that traveleth and thy want as an armed man. 6:6-11. The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare a heat meat in the summer. 30:25. As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. 10:26 The slothful man rastethin not that which he took in hunting; but the substance of the diligent man is precious. 12:27. The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. 13:4. He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. 18:9. Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor. 19:4. All the brethren of the doo poor hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. 19:7. Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. 19:15. The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest and have nothing. 20:4. It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone away then he boasteth. 20:14. Love not sleep lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. 10:13. I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. For riches are not forever; and doth the crown endure to every generation? The hay appeareth, and he tender grass sheweth itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered. The lamb are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of thy field. And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the good foth y household, and for the maintenance of thy maidens. 27:23-27. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. 13:11. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored. 13:18. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. 23:29.

TOO MANY COLORED PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY Jackson, Mississippi—There are too many colored people in the United States, according to State Senator McCallum of the Mississippi Legislature who has recently introduced a resolution asking the Mississippi Legislature which has recently introduced a resolution asking the Mississippi Legislature to memorialize the President of the United States and Congress to buy land in Africa to which the American colored people are to be deported. The resolution provides for the purchase of territory in Africa by treaty, purpose, or other negotiations. This territory is to be under the tutelage of the American Government, to the end that America itself may become a nation of one blood and that the American colored people may have a chance for racial development under the most advantageous circumstances. McCallum recommends THE TRUTH ABOUT A. L. JOHNSTON Made Good Every Promise that whatever portion of the allied war debt as may be necessary, should be used to acquire the land for this purpose. Only one thing seems to have been overlooked by the Hon. Senator, and that is, how even the Mississippi colored people will be induced or enabled by the Mississippi Legislature to go to Africa. It seems that that is a very necessary part of the problem, there are about as many colored people in Mississippi as there are whites. Again in Mississippi where one out of every ten illiterates is white and where the intervening shades are so numerous and various, it may be a question to determine who is a colored person. Of course, such things don't bother McCallum. ```markdown ``` FRED MASON Attorney-at-Law and Notary Public Practice in all the Courts of Cali- fornia. Consultation Free. Office 311-824 S.

If you feel this Home will be an honor to God and His people, a pride to the State of California, and a credit to the Race (as we are believing you do), may we have your hearty co-operation in this work. We will not ask you for $1,000 or $500 or $100, but if every reader of this paper will send in one dollar for Registration and volunteer to get as many of the Race interested we will soon have the task accomplished.

CHURCH OF CHRIST— Cor. 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor Sunday was one more beautiful day. It brought us sunshine instead of the rain, and it seemed as though everybody was rejoicing that the day was beautiful. The solo of the morning was sung by Mrs. Flora Alexander, and stood out like a jewel in the services. It was preceded by an unsurpassed selection by the choir. Then came the sermon by the pastor which was delivered with such clearness that it seemed as if the very picture of his illustrations were before our eyes. The solo of the evening was very berry-indeed. This was followed by the sermon. Sunday evening Rev. L, B. Brown will preach at our church.

JOHN MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH— 1546 Paloma Avenue. Rv. D. C. Knox, Pastor. The Spirit was very high with us all day last Sunday and our souls are made to feel glad when we can see and feel the manifestation of the Holy Spirit demonstrated in the lives of the members and friends of our church to awaken this community, and the indifference that has been so long asleep. We can see and realize the necessity of a church in this part of the vineyard of the Master. We were made to feel proud when we can hear the general public say that our services are equal to any of the best of the city. Dr. T. L. Griffith, Pastor. The pastor and officers of Second Baptist church appreciate the kindness of members and friends who are patiently bearing the inconvenience and care received and応trium during the last Sunday services. All discomforts seem to have been forgotten, however, in the joy of worship that comes to those who are receiving the deepest spiritual, soul-stirring messages brought by the pastor. While methods of conducting business may change as time and custom demand, that the principles of a successful business remain the same today as in the time of Solomon was interestingly presented by Dr. Griffith in his seventh "Pulpit Editorial" Sunday morning, "Slothfulness and Diligence in Business" was the subject of an editorial composed of proverbs compiled from the Book of Proverbs, every one of which may well be applied to any business enterprise of today. "The Power in a Name." Phil. 2: 9-10-11, formed the subject of the morning sermon. Over one hundred names, aside from that of Jesus, are given to our Savior by the writers of the Bible, each indicating some phase of his life, work, character, office, or his origin. But it was not for prophets, scribes, or apostles to name the Son of God, but the Father Himself sent His angel to Nazareth with the message saying that he should be called Jesus. Jesus, the one word that is the same in every language; the name that appeals most to writers of scripture; the name that comforts the friendless and the sad at heart; and the name for which God has designed special homage. At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. The Rev. Maraneopa brought a sincere plea for us at the evening service. Every church in Los Angeles should open its doors to this devout and earnest missionary. Six additions were made to the membership during the day. Among those uniting were Dr. Cockrell and wife, of Texas, who recently miraculously escaped from the Ku Klux Klan, and have come to Los Angeles to make their home. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor. Two splendid congregations worshipped at this church on the past Sunday. The pastor preached at both services to the delight and edification of the people. The pastor preached on "Practical Christianity" at the morning service to a house where every seat was taken. In the evening the pastor continued the series of sermons on the love stories of the Bible. Young and old alike were delighted with the sermon. There were five additions to the membership of the church during the day. The pastor will continue the series of sermons on the love stories of the Bible on next Sunday evening. Strangers and visitors always find a hearty welcome to all the services of this fast, growing, progressive church. Come where a real gospel message awaits you and where the old-time fire is burning. FIRST AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH 5th and Towne Avenue. Rev. A. Milton Ward. Minister. The 16th anniversary of the birth of Richard Allen, founder and first bishop of the A. M.

D., delivered the sermon at 7:30 p. m. when three more were added to the church, making a total of five new members for the day.

The Sarah Allen Woman's Mite Missionary Society held its regular meeting at the residence of Mrs. Arnold Bankston on Tuesday, and the women pronounced Mrs Bankston a wonderful hostess. Three new members were welcomed and we had the usual good time. Impressive, services were held for Bro. John Wesley Harding, a veteran of the Civil War, and for about 70 years a member of the A.M. E. church, Monday at 8 o'clock in the fifth and Towne Ave. church, Kav Ward, officiated. The Millard Lodge, F. A.M. of Los Angeles, was in charge and performed the last and final.

D. the popular pastor of First A. M. E. church. H will also deliver the mission. The pastor will preach morning and evening. Let us make this a great day. The pastor was delighted with the attendance at Sunday School last Sunday morning. Two young ladies joined the school. The attendance both morning and evening was record breaking. The spiritual interest ran high at both services. The burden of the minds of those who testified was for a closer walk with God and the possession of divine peace. The people are awakening to the fact that they must walk closer with God if they would have His peace abiding in them. The pastor was glad to see so many visitors from Boyle Heights and from other churches. Come again friends. You give us hope and encouragement. LIN MEM. JON. CHURCH— 34th Sth. and Central Avenue. Rev. E. E. Lightner, Pastor. The past Sunday was a splendid day at this church. Two excellent services were held.

At the evening hour he will have "The Story of the Christ" illustrated with pictures on the screen. Rev. A. Fuetterter will be in charge. You are cordially invited to worship with us at all these services. Rev. H. B. H. On last Sunday morning our pastor, Rev. Gantt, preached from Col. 3:11-1. "Hid With Christ In God." It was indeed the most forceful message delivered once the pastor has been here. The church was on fire with the Holy Spirit and people were saying it was good to be here. At 3 p. m. Rev. Gantt preached again for Rev. Wm. A. Washington, Adams and Hooray-Ave. Holiness church. Again a great demonstration of the Spirit was shown. The afternoon subject was "Repentance." Mark 1:14-15 At 8 p. m. our pastor reached the climax of the day's service when he preached from the subject "God In The Crisis of Life." Text Isaiah 37:14.

(By William Mells Watson.) When the Federation of Tennis Clubs made the request that each of its ten clubs send one representative to every ten members to engage in the big July 2nd and ith scuffle for the Pacific Coast championships at Frisco town it was not expected that the clubs should the enormous taxation for said vacation time outing; indeed not; folks; why if this were so every goloote and alimony receiver that ever saw a tennis racket would be lined up for a fur-lined reversible Pullman ticket with tabe d' hote meals served thrice daily, notwithstanding that many of this contingent are well used to skipping two or more refreshment periods every day. The Fed simply meant that each club should "induce" one of every ten to "go." If each club toed the mark, about 30 racket swingers would enter the Golden Gate next July for championship action, not to mention the thirty or more who are to travel on their own hook, which makes the thing begin to take on the proportions of a big league affair, and with the Fed setting up hand-some prizes to shoot at and 50 or 60 net artists at death grips, the summer vacation promises to top anything on record in the West. The Youngsters The suggestion is half dozen of our juniors make the 485-mile jump is a capital one. Gertrude Freeman, the girl's singles champ, gave Mrs. Brown considerable trouble in their matches last year and there are several other pretty Misses just as eager to dethrone the ladies' singles queen, Vera Edens, Thelma Havis, Naomi Wright. Minnie Ledbetter, and also such lads as Irving Taylor, Herbert Atwell Rose, Leroy Skirdy, Jefferson Brown and Charles Lee are planning walloping king raacker swinger Ballinger Kemp, so as these are all members of the East Side Club, let's encourage them to clean out the older cracks in July. West Side Funk Tlp. Chaun Emeron, the Austin, Chester Robbins, Eddy Carlisle, Louis J. Alford, Lloyd W. Davis, Arthur Maloney, Josephus Prosper, Camille Dardenne, Newman Dunnas, Bill Dunn, Lucien Miller, Henry Kimps, Abus Berger, Osborn Johnson and the scribe were the 16 West Siders present at Tuesday night's business meeting, and what we mean to convey is that these birds weren't there for pleasure, either; they did things—"some gang, we'll say," and all were out of debt when they left.

This cluster of male humanity is accused of wilful negligence during the past few rainy months, and little Al is choked up to the chin with something and wants to unload his chest and warns Alphites who are not pure-in-heart had better stay away, as prexy Matthews carries both hips strapped with an automatic 45 on meeting nights.

The Best without extravagence. Lady Attendant for Women and Children PHONE PICO 198 1311 CENTRAL Thirty Eligibles formed with such errorless ferocious speed and attack that the Meuselites never had a chance. Hurley McNair's left soup paddle was all greased up for pop-up service (except when it slipped out of socket in the seventh) and held the big timers over the barrel most of the afternoon. Luzern Blue and Bob Meusel made creditable showings, which were responsible for four of the visitors' markers, but Mack was never worried. Manager Oscar Charleston, who has played rings around the famous New Yorker, Irish Meusel, in center and at the platter, grabbed off a triplet of two station swats, one of which-was a perfect triple and another a circuiter had not a squabble and ground rules been injected by the helpless big leaguers, but at that the big show was a scream.

SPORT HITS JACK DEMPSEY WITHDRAWS COLOR LINE; NOW WILLING TO MEET 'EM ALL. After having recently spent over $200,000 in buying and having his new home remodeled at 24th and Western avenue, Jack Dempsey this week in Chicago on his way to New York said that he was now ready to fight anybody in the world, including Harry Wills and Jack Johnson; so now it's up to the promoters. Baby Blue Falls Again. While a draw would have suited better in both contests, Baby Blue, Colored bantam, lost both hisights this week and last at Vernon, the referee's eyesight having failed him, but the Blue one is still a card. Umpire Donaldson Loses Wife. Mrs. Martha J. Donaldson, 1012 E. 6th street, wife of the noted base ball umpire, William Donaldson, of the White Sox Park, died at 6 p.m. last Sunday and was laid to rest at Evergreen cemetery.

Players' Batting Aerages Soon to Appear In Eagle. The comparative batting averages and fielding percentages of Jim White's Colored "Bear Cats", and Irish Meusel's Major Leaguers, will appear in the California Eagle immediately after the close of their series. Oscar Charleston and his men have shown conclusively that it does not require a picked team of Race athletes to defeat the big time boys; Jim White does not claim to have the best Colored team in the country, although he has some of the best players in the world in his line-up. BILL TATE ROCKS GEO. OWENS TO SLEEP AT MEMPHIS TWO ROUNDS. It took big Bill Tate just 2 rounds to render George Owens unconscious last Monday night at Memphis. Tenn. Owens was no match for the Colored heavyweight champ and was flattened 4 times during the brief mill. "Lil Artha" fm New Role; Is Now Speculator. When answering a crarge of driving his $10,000 Lafayette flyer on the wayside of a trolley in violation of the Newark, N. J., traffic rules last week, Jack Johnson, who appeared in court wearing a nifty golf suit plus his "golden smile," gave as his business the handle of speculator to the surprise of the throng present. You simply can't beat this bird with a stack of aces. A HIGH-CLASS BOXING CARD YOUNG BURTON FAILS TO TOPLE TOUGH MEXICAN, BUT WINS; BILLY KANE AND LANGFORD VICTORS. The flood of fans and fanettes that bought pasteboards to the Paradise Gardens mauling beet Wednesday night were as happy as kittens by a warm hearth; the show was just that good that everybody felt like kissing his or her neighbor. Main Squabble. Young Burton (Colored) vs. Bat- ling Frankie Garcia (Mexican), 122 pounds; Burton won decision. First Scrap. Pasadena Sam (Colored) vs. young Frankie (Mexican), 140 pounds; Frankie won (stopped by referee) 3 rounds. Second Mix-Up. Lee Johnson (Colored) vs. Sailor Tellus (Mexican), 135 pounds; won decision. Third Crash. Young Sam Langford (Colored), vs. Bud Garber (white), 118 pounds, Langford won decision. Fourth Fight. Kid Bruce (Colored) substituting for Jack Price), vs. Speedball Allen (Colored), 145 pounds; Allen won decision. Fifth Tie Up. Billy Kane (Colored), vs. Wop Flynn (white), 124 pounds; Kane won decision. Referee — George Rivers; Announcer, Billy Tucker; judges, Kid Williams and Arthur Greenwood. Pasadena Sam Falls. In the curtain raiser young Frankle, a Mexican welter of ability, laid our Race man, Pasadena Sam, on the boards four times before the ref finally stopped the slaughter; Sammy had nothing but a good pose and a game heart but failed to hit, and you must hit to win. Leo Johnson Wins. 135-pound Leo Johnson fought a Mexican boy, Sailor Tellus, so hard that he could hardly raise a glove at the final ball, he was so exhausted, when a single tap would have ended either of their dreams. Both lads dusted off the canvas once or twice, but managed to straighten up without the aid of a crutch. Langford Wins 2 More Gold Medals. Not only did you young Sam Langford last Wednesday night win the handsome gol medal given by L. B. Vent, the Central Ave. jeweler, by whipping the tough Irishman, Bud Garber, the second time but Sam also knocked out a pale-faced lad last Saturday night up at the Union League Club's weekly smoker in the initial round and made himself the most talked of scraper in town. This Bud Garber is some tough nut sure; Sam had him out on his feet J. M. Busby's Colored Minstrels COMPLETE NEW SHOW --- several times in the latter rounds, but Langford lacked the kick to shove Buddy over. In the fourth Sammy landed 11 lefts and rights to the head and face in rapid succession but he no fall down. The Irish lad had a stiff upper cut to the wind which troubled Sammy at times but not seriously and his victory was well received. Kid Bruce Substitutes and Loses. By suddenly being thrown in the ring untrained to fill the shoes of Jack Price, who was injured while training Kid Bruce, the Colored Colorado thunderbolt took a good licking from another Race boy, speedball Allen, a crafty and vicious swatter who carried the battle to Bruce all the way. The Kid's wind was bad and he failed to show any of his regular stuff and stalled and hung on throughout. high standard and that the best in none too good for the patrons of this place of business. He also made it plain to the reporter that his was a place where loafing would not be tolerated and will be conducted solely as a first class business for the convenience of those who take recreation and acquire skill in the entrancing games of billiards or the exciting game of pool. On this basis the management presents to those who partake in their line of effort the best that in them. CLASS IN BILLIARD PARLORS. The Abyssinia Barber Shop and Billiard Parlor, opened up at 1140 42 Central avenue, a most pretentious, inviting and most complete Barber Shop in this entire Western Billy Kane Wins Two More, Too. Our 124-pound boy, Billy Kane, who won a battle at the Union League last Saturday night, also won Wednesday night's struggle and a medal in company with a rugged Irish boy, Wop Flynn. Kane took the last three sessions handily, the first being a draw—the white boy showed good intentions but Billy beat him to it. Wop had 2 good hands and landed on Billy Kane who had adderable resistance himself and won out, trying hard to slug Flynn to sleep in the final but Wop refused doggedly. The Weekly Alms Donation. A collection of $17.85 was donated to a poor sick Racer man who is said to be at death's door and asked help, which was freely given; the management also contributed to the cause. Young Burton Wins Main Go, George Walch, the Universal movie star, offered a splendid new bath robe to the winner of the main scuffle, and the 122 pound boy, young Burton, fle winto the Mexican, Battling Frankie Garcia, like a house on fire for three spasms, winning all three, but he shot his bolt and was a tired man all through the fourth and won only because of his big lead. The Mexican saved himself in the early rounds, probably planning on showing in the final but he didn't have the wallop to stow Burton away, which was his only out. Good Card Next Week. Ted Frenchie and George Rivers are scheduled to step off next Wednesday night and a crowd is expected. Vic Alexander va. Kid Sloan. Heavyweight Kid Sloan challenged and was accepted by big Vic Alexander for a battle, so watch for this mill by all means; it's a bute. On last Wednesday evening the Johnson Bros. opened to the public what is probably the largest and most pretentious establishment of its kind in the West. Fourteen billiard and pool tables, all of them of the most modern make, and right from the factory; every piece of furniture in the place is brand new and the building, at 1121 Central avenue, in which the establishment is situated, was built at the order of Johnson Bros. and is one of the newest business buildings on the avenue. The house opened to enormous crowds of players, who have kept the tables in service continually. Mr. R. Johnson, in charge, says that it is the purpose to maintain a high standard and that the best is none too good for the patrons of this place of business. He also made it plain to the reporter that his was a place where loafing would not be tolerated and will be conducted solely as a first class business for the convenience of those who take recreation and acquire skill in the entrancing games of billiards or the exciting game of pool. On this basis the management presents to those who partake in their line of effort the best that is in them. CLASS IN BILLIARD PARLORS. The Abyssinia Barber Shop and Billiard Parlor, opened up at 1140-42 Central avenue, a most pretentious, inviting and most complete Barber Shop in this entire Western section. The Barber Shop, with its immaculate white furnishings, most modern equipped chairs, with electrical attachments for massage and hair cutting, and all other accessories that go with a first class Barber Shop. The shop also maintains an up-to-date manicurist, who is at the service of its patrons. This department is under the personal management of George Ellerby and Harry Southard, who are known far and wide as top liners in their profession. The Billiard Parlor This part of this combination is also in keeping with the high character of the tonsorial parlor. Furnished with ten brand new and modern tables, with an abundance of room, the billiardst$_{s}$ have a veritable paradise in which to exhibit and acquire skill in handling the cue. The Billiard Parlor is under the management of R. W. Baker, and he informed the Eagle reporter that the highest ambition of the management will be to conduct this place on a high plane; no rowdism or misconduct of any sort will be tolerated. In connection a full stock of cigars and tobacco are carried, and soft drinks as well. The Abyssinilla Barber Shop and Billiard Hall is certainly as it stands a high credit and is worthy of the patronage of all who are eligible either for service in a first class Barber Shop or who would pass a leisure hour at billiards or pool.

Since the New Age suffered the loss of its "mailing list," the thieves who started this vicious propaganda (and they are known), are about the sorriest bunch of birds which ever had the gall and brass to face the public. They are known wherever they are seen as crooks and thieves, aparading around and essaying to contaminate decent, honest and respectable people. That old putrid boil, which emanates from vicious propaganda, such as stealing mailing lists and trying to cripple some other newspaper, that the thieves themselves might prosper, is about ripe and we look for a mighty stench and howl at the bursting of the same. When this event occurs, the community will be indeed better off, for the reason that these vicious birds will be shown up in their true, light and the people will know who to shun. We note the Progressive Mutual Benefit Association is making commendable progress and we appreciate the fact that it is our own Association and organization which has qualified along this line to the extent that they can underwrite insurance for its own people. The The old line companies have risen out of sack cloths and ashes to prosperity and affluence from the nickles and dimes of Negroes for premiums, and now they don't want you. We must-wake wake up and back up such efforts as the Mutual Benefit Association to the utmost. We are reproducing in this issue an article which appeared in our local French newspaper, "The L' Union Nouvelle"; the same has been translated by our well known and talented musician, Prof. John A. Gray. The article is a strong exposition from the French viewpoint on the equality of man, and cannot help but be appreciated by all lovers of fair play and justice. This article is indeed worth while, and we owe to our musical contributor a debt of gratitude which we know our readers will share with us in repaying him for the great service in giving to us this translation of this re markable article, entitled "Blacks and Whites.fwy titled "Blacks and Whites." CHANDLER OWEN Regardless of whether we subscribe to the preachments of this great thinker and scholar, Chandler Owen, the brilliant editor of the "Messenger," we want to express our appreciation of his presence in our midst, that the people of our section may have the opportunity of hearing him and receive such inspiration as may come from the mind of this brilliant, forceful speaker and writer. This is a day of thought; great transformations are taking place, and to be in a position to play our part we must discern all angles of the various transitions thru which we must pass. While he comes to us unheraled and unannounced, it is fortunate that his fame and worth has preceded him and the people will during his stay have an opportunity of hearing him, and hearing him give such consiiodation as the premises shall warrant. APPEARANCE DECEIVING. Appcarances are often deceiving. Evidence of that fact was seen yeaterday with the filing of a deed of gift with County Barorder R. N. Barstow behind which has a story of thrift and involved effort. Fresno county, and conveyed to their son, Phillip Reitz, Jr, an improved muscat vineyard, vineyard equipment and other property valued at about forty thousand dollars. Mr. Reitz and his wife came to Fresno county from Russia in 1901, without means. By hard work and thrift they have accumulated four valuable vineyard properties in this county, one of which was given their son. Their son came to Fresno with his parents and has resided continuously with them and worked with them toward the accumulation of the property, devoting all of his time to his father's and mother's interests. About one year ago he married Miss Eva Lennebach of Sanger, and the object of the gift that was made is to provide the young people with a substantial home of their own. The transfer of the property was made in the office of Attorney Milton M Dearing. —Fresno Republican. The above clipping speaks in thunderous tones for "Production." Go thon and do likewise. Your young man is before you; eschew the big town and the tall buildings PRODUCE SOMETHING, and there is no surer return than production from the soil of the earth. The Russian, the Menonite, more dense, you would take them to be than yourself. But they have played the better part. They have produced, and in producing have solved the burning problems of their time. SHOW YOUR EYE. FOR STEVENS! Excepting one or two members of our Race we want to see the white of the eye of the Negro who will stand up and advocate the cause of Governor William Stevens. If they will do so, leave it to us, for we will make them look like a nickle with a hole in it before we are through with them. We say this with a full knowledge of the high brow delegation which sneaked up to the Pacific Building a few days ago. We have tried to get a list of their names; we would publish it alongside of the names of Nolan, Curry and Barbour, who voted that lynching might march right on in this country. Come on, you self appointed; you simply must fish or cut bait. That's all. MISS O. L. FREEMAN, R. N.

Some years ago among the first public functions which we attended in Los Angeles, at an oratorical contest, Sidney P. Dones was one of the contestants and his subject was "Negro Business." Out of the galaxy of stars on this occasion Dones was given first prize. The thought which comes to us is that Dores has doggedly lived right up to his SIDNEY P. DONES. preachment on that occasion; and from the most humble beginning in a business way he has stuck by his guns and proved himself a real adept in all matters pertaining to business and real progress.

The mid-session school exhibit of the East Side school was pronounced by all visitors as one of the most pleasing efforts given during the year. During the day a number of visitors witnessed the class room work. During the afternoon there was a steady stream of parents and visitors who passed thru the various departments and inspected the work done by the pupils. The several rooms had distinct features and parents and friends lingered long, making careful survey. The Domestic Science department had charge of refreshments. Mrs. Nelson directing the girls. The art work of all grades, from the 5th up, was collected in one room and made such a splendid showing that. City Supt. Shibley has asked that it be made a permanent display in the school. Mrs. De Vougn has charge of this department and the results being obtained are marvelous. The Physical Educational Department, girls, with Miss Travers in charge, staged a game of indoor ball with the Imperial girls, the visitors taking the long end of a very close score. Miss Catley, who has charge of the music department, prepared for the pupils and visitors a rare treat in presenting the Western Jubilee Singers, who were touring the Valley, and gave an hour's entertainment.
