PRESIDENT GREER DEFENDS THE HON. MARCUS GARVEY
HEAD OF LOCAL DIVISION
U. N. L. A. TAKES EXCEP.
TION TO M. ROBIN-
SON'S ATTACK ON
GARVEY'S PIL-
GRIMAGE IN
THE U. S. A.
OPEN LETTER
H. Douglas Green Replies to Attack
upon Marcus Garvey and U. N. L. A.
To the Editor of The California
Eagle, Los Angeles, Cal.
Sir:
We are asking the extension of
your courteous newspaper columns
that we might answer the open letter
addressed to Mr. Marcus Garvey,
by Mr. S. J. Robinson.
Mr. S. J. Robinson, Via, California
Eagle.
Sir:
The members of the Los Angeles
Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have received your very kind article thro' the columns of
the California Eagle.
We read with profound interest
your most excellent essay entitled:
"Open Letter to Marcus Garvey" etc.
As President of the aforesaid
division it becomes my sacred duty
to defend the honor of our most
proud Chief, the Hon. Marcus
Garvey, and protect the organization
from unjust criticism and unwarranted abuse.
Of course to etch a stench of the destardy, heinous, abominable ignorance and presumption displayed by your article in last week's issue of the Eagle would require a wool of hell-fire interwoven with a warp of cotton. We must use both we must use methods whereby annual is made to your conscience.
It frequently happens that a few week-minded, people attach great paper reports, and especially when an able champion possesses a veritable so magnificent that hallucination conjecture are, magnified into reality.
It would not become the dignity of our noble President to remonstrate with his inferior; they could one reasonably expect him to stoop to a parenom with a rebel-russian, an politically non-descript, or self-identified and proud organization raise him so high in his own estimation that he 'h can see no good in anything save his own loathy vices—which he seeks to hide under a cloak of assumed broad-mindedness and virtue.
Worse than all, and most to be deplored, he h is called upon to reply to one whose race identity is unhappy. You h not a Negro, for no sensible Negro would so far forget himself, his race pride, self respect to as assail the greatest man his race ever produced, and strive to pull down the greatest organization known to mankind.
We are asking ourselves the question: what manners of man are you? to give him a name not a Negro, for white men believe in organization, they pride themselves upon being an efficient part of an organization, believing that his organization can do its work better than those of any other people. The Statc is organized, justice backed up by organized force. It is the glory of the Anglo-Saxon race that their organization has been attained by their bold pioneers.
You are not an African. The Af.

PEONAGE CONDITIONS
AT DEMOCRAT, ARK.
A letter from a Negro farmer in Democrat, Arkansas, received and made public to-day by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, reports conditions of peonage prevailing there.
The letter reports that Negro farmers are told not to without being about the amount of the rent to be taken from their produce, or about supplies farmlished them.
"Mr. . . . has promised to furnish us money," says the letter, "but he is done changed and furnishing coupon books to his cropers. Mr. . . . will just come out from town and write to me, and then ask in what we want nor nothing so he ain't doing us right. I cleaned up a 40 acre section in the half south of 22, and the officers from Forrest City come and drove me off of the land; come with their plots and made me move and had paid $68 down on the land, and please take it when got the people filled up."
The Advancement Association announced that the letter would be called to the attention of the Federal Department of Justice.

RACE JEREMIAHS
The race has a superfluous lot of Jeremiahs, and they are forever imending conditions that they never lend a helping hand to destroy. They lament the existence of "Jim Crow" laws; Race prescription of description of race which the race has to lend to them; they are sorrow for the victims of Bob Law; the hangings, burnings, and all the fendish tortures cause their prayers to ascend, and the tears to flow, but, when it comes to placing their hands in their pockets, and pulling them out, it contributes to attribute towards the abolishing of those evil they are woofly lacking.
Whenever we hear these Jeremiahs arise in a public meeting, and decaying conditions we keep "our peeps open" to see how absorbed they will be when the time comes to solitary funds for the cause. The Association Press to send out favorable propaganda for the Dyer Anti Lynching bill, but, sorry to say, when it comes to sending telegrams to our representatives, and raiding money for press notices it uses, the Association Press that produces the sinner of war. Another thing about these "lamenters" they will not take the time to place themselves in a position to use that weapon of good citizenship the ballot. When you say to them, "don't you know that they invariably say 'Whatever the use!' We often wish that a kind providence would hasten the day when they either cease their whining or give them wings.
RACE PRIDE AN ASSET TO THE
NATION
WHY THE NEGRO PROTECTS
THE CLANSMAN
The Nervouss of San Francisco have fought the production of the picture film, the Classman, to a successful Smith. A manager by the name of _____ placed the film on the Francisco picture beam, and by putting on the picture without advertising, having themselves arrested, and having everything attempted for a jury trial. When the Jury went to view the picture Dog had only such features as they knew, and the Jury denied "no quality." But they claimed without lodged hearth the image of magnificence, will move on.
any fear of intelligent people who were able to understand, but what they did fear was the knowing of the film to the ignorant who attend the little side show house, and who take every thing for granted. Those are the people who are really incited to riot; they are the people who may be enraged; and I believe that the scene actually occurred. Right thinking people rejoice in the racial pride shown by the Negro, and are lending their influence for the abolishing of the film. The Mayor, his Board of Supervisors, the Commissioners of Police, and the Chief, as well as various manuals, all help the working with the Negro to enable him to maintain his racial pride. We have to maintain the amicable relations now existing between the races, and in order to do that we must, by strictly adhering to right principles, show not only to the citizens of San Francisco, but, to the rest of the country, to acquiring from the throes of a tyrannical subjugation can rise above every climb;灾患 to superse heights.
WHAT ARE THEY?
I mean the men who are representing, or at least or supposed to do so, in Washington. Our senior Senator gets on the wrong side of the fence in the Peace Treaty, or Four Power Pact: Noram and Barron, and a Republican vote puts them all to Washington. Shadee of Abraham Lincoln! and to think that such should masquerade under the name of the Party of which you were the martyred chief. Take a poll of the electorate of California today and nine tenths of them would want the treaty to be the number and they want to see the anti-Lyaching Bill become a law. Then by what authority have our representatives taken the present stand? If they are playing politics to retain the friendship of Pat Harrison, and Bourbons or that, ilk, why, it's about time that the voters were seeing about a change. The they are able to plain their attitude satisfactorily, but from present indications, it will be a hard job. Up this way we have placed a ban on those fellows, who play politics by cichanem, and they are going to have a... trying to convince the "Booba" that they carry the Negro vote in their elections, they are getting tired of such粗犷 presentations are going to spend their money to see that the coterie of four flushers get their just deserts.
Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M.
E. Church left Friday for his home in Nashville, Teen, after spending a week in the city on a hurried business trip. The Bishop was scheduled to arrive here last. Sunday morning to spend the day at the Watts C. M. E. Church, but on account of snow storms throughout Kansas, his train was delayed about ten hours. Bishop Phillips came to the church which he recently bought at Watts and we are pleased to know that he succeeded in financing the project. The Bishop will soon remove from Nashville to make his future home in Cleveland, Ohio.
N. A. A. C. P. TAKES HAND IN MICHIGAN SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Points Out to Michigan Newspapers
That One Candidate Voted
Against Dyer Bill
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 76, Fifth Ave.New York, to-day announced that a letter was being sent to the most important newspapers in the state of Michigan pointing out that in the approaching contest for Senator Townsend's seat in the United States Senate was a man who had voted against Dyer, Allegheny Bill in the House of Representatives. That man is Representative Patrick J. Kelly from the Sixth Michigan Congressional District.
The letter sent to the Michigan
teachers follows:
The National association for his Advancement of Colored People and the University of the State of Michigan, are interested in the content for Senate Township's seat in the United District Senate. This interest has been around because Representative Patrick H. Kelly, of the Birth Michigan Congressional District, who has succeeded his candidacy against Senator Township in the Dewey Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, which was passed 280 to 119 by the House and is in favor now the Senate.
Columbia People throughout the United States want the Dyer Bill enacted into law. They know that such unintentional Constitutional lawyers in Attorney Daugherty and Marcus Field Shaw, not the Dyer Bill's supporters, our Amendments, so will forge Senate, now Representative Burton of Ohio, hold the proposed legislation to be constitutional. With such unintentional authority in favor of the Dyer Bill, colored people must then likely must be left by the American Senate. With such unintentional legislation, we must be forced to move on.
Congress has no jurisdiction over the subject matter." That lawyers as well as laymen know otherwise may be demonstrated to Mr. Kelly in the course of his campaign. Whatever may be the other issues of the campaign, colored Americans will have in mind that the Dyer Bill constitutes an abuse of suprema importance and unduly government, in the United States. James Weldon Johnson, Secretary, The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
DEMANDS FAIR PLAY
Greenbore, N. C., March 13—What is regarded as one of the finest editorial expressions ever written in a plan for law and order, while at the same time unbringing the south for dealing with facts artificially, appeared recently in the Greenbore News, with reference to the Bullock case. This newspaper is one of the most influential publications and may be regarded as a speaking ballad when writing under the headline of "What Lynching Means to the South." The News says:
"The governor will not humiliate the state, he declares, by sending witnesses to testify for it in a petty judicial officers, court in Canada. No danger. That isn't what has humiliated the state. If the state had sent a few Warren county lynchers to testify they have been under no obligation to send witnesses to Canada in order to secure the extradition of Bullock. "Let us keep this thing straight. Canada may have been a little overzealous, but she had plenty of reason. We have a reputation of being bloodthirsty murderers down under, our industrious lynchers, who have secured that reputation for us. We shall never be regarded as a thoroughly civilized people until we stop this lynching business. It's no use talking in grandiloquent Tom Dixon terms about what a white man will stand and what a white man our white. A white man has got to stand by the law, if he expects to hold up his head among other white men.
"All this snorting about the fierce pride of the Anglo-Saxon race in the most disgusting poppycock ever invented. If no negro were ever lynched for anything but rape, it might have all some shadow of excuse. It alleged on some small part of a small proportion of the victim of mobs in the south these days. Negroes are lynched for all manner of orimes, ranging, down to simple misdemeanors. Matthew Bullock's brother was not lynched for rape, but for shooting at white men. Furthermore as ever southern knows, theft is proud Anglo-Saxons, but usually of the off-scorrings of creation—the poorest, morally, of poor white trash, plug-uglies and thugs of every imaginable description, many of them wanted themselves by the police, occasionally under the leader of some semi-respectable white man of the elite, idea that any thoroughly decent citizen took part in any of the four affairs of the sort that disgraced the state last year is aburd.
"This sort of riff-raff has no race pride, nor any other sort of pride, it has merely a congenital tendency toward disorder, easily imitated into cruel blood-lust. But it has a great tendency to be officer, more interested in holding their jobs than in doing their duty, fear it with a ghastly fear, and repudiating their oath let the mob work its will. That is what lynching means in the south today. There is not one redeeming element, not one word that can be said in its defenance. It is our everlasting disgrace, the cowardice and the insignificance and as long as we continue to pallate and condone it, it will disgrace us."

"The Soul of John Brown."
By Stephen Graham. Published by The Macmillan Co., New York. Price $2.00. Postage 10 cents extra.
Few Americans realize how interesting the Negro question in the United States is to the English. They want to learn about it, they come over here and write about it. No one of them has written so keen a book as Fannie Kemble's Two Books, published nearly a hundred years ago. Fannie Kemble, the actress, married a slave holder and came from free England to enslaved Georgia. She could not stand it and from the frank way in which she wrote I imagine the white South could not stand her. Stephen Graves, a muchachie of the black ledge as Fannie Kemble possessed, but he did his best while in America to the conditions as they really exist and his many years of travel among other people—he has written a number of books upon Russia—makes him a wise and well balanced outlaw. Some of the readers of Book Chat doubtless met him when he was collecting material for "The Soul of John Brown," a striking-looking man, with reddish hair worn a trifle long and a gentle though strong face. Religions in the best sense of the word, he believes that "only Christianity can save color. But Christianity can be of a million Christian伸 him when he tells us that "there is such a thing as the wrath of God, and it is not incompatible with Divine Fatherhood and all merciful Providence." John Brown is his hero and he ends his book by saying: "John Brown himself if he is reappear, would not be in danger of opening in the world. His soul goes marching on, but it is still the soul of vengeance and wrath.
To prepare for the writing of this book Stephen trahman spent some time in New York—we at the N. A. A. C. P. were forfeite in being able to give him material—and then started on his travels. He went into industries at Newport News, talked with black reverbs and chippers, and, to quote his own words, "went up the James River to Jamestown and on to Richmond, the fief of the Old Dominion. I travelled to Lynchburg and its tobacco industries, went from thence to "bobes" at the plantation where there and the attitude of Tennessee. From Knoville I went to Chattanooga and Birmingham, in each of which great steel centres I met the leading Negroes and investigated conditions. I was at Atlanta and walked across Georgia to the sea, and across the Mississippi, dredged wells, through the cotton fields and forests of Georgia. From Savannah I went to Branwick and Jackspainville, thence to Pensacola and on from Florida to New Orleans and the Gulf plantations. I journeyed up the Mississippi on a river steamer thayed at the Negro city of Greenville and at Memphis and then repaired once more to the contrasting North."
The most picturesque part of this trip, was the tramp through Georgia. No one else used the road for walking, and Mr. Graham was accounted for by the tramping spirit of his fellowship won concurring Seance and he found out much concerning Sherman's march from the oldest inhabitants and much regarding the Georgia of to-day from his own observations. His summing up of the tramping not very much better to day than it was in plaver days.
pain; all these terrible sins are painful conditions are visited on the third and fourth generation of those who hate, though as must always be. God's mercy is shown to thoumme, and to keep him in his eternal commandments. There are four entertaining pages, humorous yet tragic, of the fourteen points of the southern creed. I give a few:
1. We understand the niggers and the slaves. North they're crazy till they get back to us.
2. The nigger is all right as long as he is kept in his place. You must make him keep his distance. If once you are familiar with him you are lost.
3. The nigger is an animal. Like the animals he is full of luck. Like the animals, also, he does not feel pain. When he is burned it is not the same as a white man burning.
4. "Justice? Well, you ask any southern court of justice and a Southern judge or a Northern one. He would always prefer the Southern one because in the South we understand him. And we're very fond of them and they are of us. We get on very well. Southern belief, Graham says, rarely steps out of this codified expression of thought. Get into conversation with a Southerner and you will almost always be able to refer his talk to 1 or 10 or some other point of the creed.
5. The Soul of John Brown is a more instructive book. We hope for many readers both in this country and in England.

+ __ By Jolin A. Gray
‘The regular concert-goer ani mu-
siclover who attends musical! af-
faite gfows 80 accustomed to fun-
damentals that he takes then} as a
Matter-of course. It is with surprise
‘them that he becomes aware of this
lack of knowledge on the part ot
the’outsider. Since these funda-
mentals ate prime requisites in the
matter of appreciation, we feel that
& little information on the subject
at this time, will ba a help to those
‘who desire to know more about the
art.
___ First, let ug consider the song re-
citalist. We have’been asked way
the singer gives songs in a foreign
language. =
‘The recital is the pighest torm of
artistic expression fo# tne singer and
makes exacting demands on him. He
must include on his program at least
oneyexample of difficult singing if
for nothing more than to show what
he can do. This calls for an operatic
aris or one from an oratorio. The
Dest ones are in foreign tongues and
good translations are difficult to
find. Thus, the singer must sing in
& foreign tongue...‘
Next, tho song literature of all
countries is much richer and better
than gnything that America has pro-
duced that he is compelled again to
include examples. Most singers in-
clude @ group of English songs to
round out thé program. Tradition
plays an important part also in the
art of program building and young
singers follow the path made by the
great artists.
‘The violinist has the same form
of program. First, his heavy num-
ber will be a concerto or sonata,
which is a parallel to the aria of thé
singer. Then, pieces of different
styles and periods make up the rest
of the program.
‘The pianist has the same form as
the violinist. One can see that the
aim Is to provide variety as well as
tg show the performer's skill in the
rendering of different types of mu-
sfc. This makes for an interesting
program. Need we say that all pro-
Stams are given from memory?
‘The stage deportment of the per-
former may ruin his success. A few
bfnts here will help.
First of all, when the artist steps
on the stage, he is sized up by the
audience. His or her costume is
noted first. It it is grotesque }t
will cause laughter and the success
"of the performer is ruined trom the
sttrt, The artist should walk straight
to the center of stage and stand in
an easy graceful manner. Walking
and bowing is very in-artistic. The
pianist of course, seats himself di-
Teetly if theré is no applause. Ail
performers sPould wait until the
house stops rusting programs, until
the ushers close‘doors and until the
plaint t8cuk ETAOIN ETAO SHRA
late-comers are seated, - The accom-
panist should always follow the so-
Joist on and off the stage, no matter
if € 8 a Indy, because for the time
being sex is forgottdn and the solo-
Se baits the center of the stage.
\accompanists should never
wear fashy clothes as this attracts
the attention of the audience, The
accompanist must accompany and
remain in the back-ground. Some
players forget that they are accom-
Danists and try to be solists, thus
drowning out the real soloist. Sing-
ere should never change their num-
bers without telling the audience
otherwise why have any program at
ai. We uaid although everyone
migant, but singers are the greatest
offenders ini this line.
"The foregoing things are funda.
metals and are expected as a ut
‘of course. There are matiy other
Http, things for the individual to
learn that will give digaity, poise
and fréedom, which things, all make
for the success or failure of the per-
former.

* Cultivate the Soul}
By Dr. T. L. Griffith.
Practically all wealth comes out
of the ground. While the mineral
wealth of America is marvellous,
only the, more favored people finan-
cially’ are able to enjoy it, but the
privileges of the soil are aimost dn-
iversal, We will make long step
forward in our economic life when
we begin in large numbers to cultis
vate the soil. .
The wealth and the prosperity of
the nations are dependent upon the
poor crops, there is not only general
suffering for the necessaries of life,
but there is stagnation in business
as_well.
‘The Negro {s drifting away from
the farm. Woe-are flocking to the
cities. It is a pity that in the ex-
odus from the south, more of our
people have not secured themselves
farms in the great north-west. The
Jand usually soon pays for itself.
and provides the owner: with not
only the necessaries, but with the
luxuries of life. :
Those of us wh live in the cities
‘of Southern California have privi-
leges not enjoyed by those who live
in the more congested citles of the
east. We have the privilege of
gardening on @ varied scale. It is
true that not all of.us are garden-
ers. A young man Once said to me:
“It seems that the ground will not
grow anything for me, I! work hard
in my garde, but always without
success." This is doubtless true of
many, but it Bp true of more of us
that we do nbt give thought to the
things the ground will do for, us.
Less than two years ago I was in
an Iowa city@and visited in the home
of one of our people. He was buy-
ing his home, and his lot was about
fifty"by one hundred and fifty feet.
;He was doing almost nothing in the
‘cultivation of his ground. Across
the street from him a Hungarian
family lived on a piece of ground
exactly the same size. The Hun-
garlan was using every inch of his
ground, growing berries and vege-
tables of every kind which found
ready market at tho best prices in
‘that clty. ‘The colored man had
lived for a number of years in that
place without ever considering what
his Hungarian neighbor was earnitig
from his land.
‘One of the members of my Kan.
sag church told me of his succes
with a single acre of ground. He
secured a fine brand of tomatoes
and set out tomatoe vines on thi
acre., In one season he made séver
hundred and elghty ‘dollars from
this acre, That was the equivalen
of an afnual wage at sixty-five dol
lars per month. It is strange how
the people who know how and wha
to do can utilize the hours wher
they are not at their other work t
add to the family income by. the til
ling of the sofl. A man with a hoe
the soil and God will make helpfu
union.
Garden clubs are good things fo
young men and boys wlio have an3
aptitude for tilling the soll. He
would be a philanthropist whc
would take our boys out and teack
them how to grow berries, and vege
tables and flowers and fruits, anc
help them to learn the ways by
which a free people may help sup
port themselves.
In this "Own a Home” week it
Los Angeles it might not be amis
for our people to consider that hom
should be in connection with a lit
tle piece of ground. |

RIVERSIDE SNAP SHOTS
By Jay Hawker
We were surprised to know that Editor J. B. Bana was in the city week before last. We were having sickness at home and finally the death of our beloved wife which kept us at home, so we missed him Jay Hawker extends thanks to our friend, the Stranger, for his expressions of sympathy. Doubtless the Stranger by this time knows that our dear wife has passed on.
Mr. Geo. D. Williamson is stopping at the family home of his father, Rev. H. H. Williamson since the death of Mrs. Williamson. Howard B. Williamson and Mrs. M. J. Lester and son Clarence have returned to Los Angeles; R. H. Lester to Santa Ana; M. Amelia Comisle and Mrs. Laura Bostick to Pasadena and M. R. H. Lester who has been with her parents for some time has returned to her home in Santa Ana; all of the above having been called to Riverside an account of the illness and passing of Mrs. H. H. Williamson.
Rev. H. H. Rozier will be in the city this week.
Those who have a little ground for gardening will do well to utilize it for that purpose.
Mr. John C. Scott has moved from Blythe to Riverside, and says the City Beautiful looks good to him. Mr. Scott is a farmer and will try to secure a few acres at least to settle on for the present.
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Carroll were visiting friends in Los Angeles Sunday.
Presiding Elder Rev. James Washington held quarterly meeting at the local A. M. E. Church Sunday.
Rev. A. J. Shepherd of Seattle was a visitor over Sunday.
Mr. David Stokes who was laid up with the flu is able to be out again.
The family of Rev. C. J. Lockhart is on the sick list.
Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Fitzgerald are both laid up with the Flu, as is also the family of Mr. Frank Gordon.
Mrs. Charles Gordon spent a few days last week visiting in Los Angeles, as the guest of Mrs. Lizzie Hawkins.
Mrs. Mattle Simons was attacked in her home on East 11th street by some Negro prowler on March 15.
The funeral of Theodore T. Butler who died in Visalia of the Flu was held from the Second Baptist Church of which he was a member, Rev. F. W. Cooper officiating. The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends. The young man was a Riverside boy, born here April 26, 1903 and from many angles it was a very sad funeral, as besides the immediate relatives he had a host of friends who were saddened by his early passing.
NEEDLES, CALIF.
St. James Baptist Church: Rev. W. ... H. M. Dickerson, Pastor
The beautiful day which greeted us last Sunday had its effect on our services. The Sunday School was very well attended and the services were delightful. Sunday morning the pastor upoke from the subject: "Christ the Son of God. The spirit of God was in the message and we were much encouraged. Sunday night the pastor used as his subject: "God our only deliverer," and the congregation went away feeling that truly God's blessings were upon them.
Our rally is still on and our slogan is "$800. on Easter morning." Pray for us.

manner. Mrs. H. B. Thomas the well
known musician of Santa Barbara, who plays the organ and
piano beautifully, presided at the
organ, while Miss. Vivian Sims, the young and brilliant pianist of Topeka, Kansas, presided at the piano.
From the moment the Herald an-

divided from start to finish. The

pleased. The play was well sustained
by all of the participants playing
their parts well.

Judge Stands for Square Deal
The case of People vs. Fred D. Evans came up for preliminary hearing in Judge Channing Follett's Department on Tuesday last. The case was continued for the reason that Attorney: Griffin Jones, representing the defendant, was busy in a department of the Superior Court. The defendant is charged with
he was, intoxicated, though his friends, and those who have known him for years state that he is not in the habit of drinking. He has seven witnesses who will testify that he was not intoxicated upon this occasion.
Great opposition developed to the continuance but Judge Channing Pollette stated that a colored man in his course was entitled to as much consideration as members of the white race. He further stated that he would not compel any colored man to go to trial without the presence of his attorney and that the question of color did not enter into the matter. The court further stated that the case would be determined entirely upon its merits, regardless of the status of the various parties upon either side.
A CENTENARIAN PASSES
Mrs. Nancy Lyons of St. Louis, Mo., 112 years old, the oldest citizen of that city has passed to her reward. This announcement will prove of great interest to our people all over the country, as the Lyons and Dove families are the oldest families of St. Louis. The daily dispatches say she was 107 years old, but that is a mistake as she celebrated her 107th birthday in 1917 when the writer was visiting in the family.
Ever since she reached her 100th birthday, every year the Mayor and other high officials of the city called to extend to her felicitations and congratulations. She was quite leeable at the time of my visit having had a fall which injured her hip; we did not think she would recover but she did, and lived five years longer.
Mrs. Lyons was born in 1810, lived 78 years in St. Louis. She leaves a son 57 year old, 22 grand children and 7 great children. Robert Dove, now of this city, is one of the great grand children.

‘The suggestion to use the discard-

up against two objectionable features
—thg space beyond the foul lines is

EXPENSE OF ENFORCING PROHIBITION LAWS
By C. H. Randall, Prohibition Congressman, 1815-1921.
The Federal government will expend during the present fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, approximately seven million dollars for enforcement of the Volstead Act. Congress has already appropriated ten million dollars or about that sum for next years expense.
This is seized upon as an argument that prohibition cannot be enforced, and that it is too expensive anyway.
We may as well disregard the first part of the argument for it is plain that prohibition, although a new and untried law in many large states and cities, is enforced as well as laws against burglary and many other criminal acts. In ninety per cent of the area of the country prohibition is as effectively enforced as any law on the statute boks. In large cities with a heavy percentage of foreign population, where public officers are antagonistic to the law, enforcement is yet far from perfect: But with the matter of expense, do not let anybody fool you into thinking Uncle Sam is losing money on this game.
While this year's expense will be seven million dollars, already property alone has been seized of the value of $12,907,693.40. In the list of property seized are 600 automobiles, one airplane, 45 horses and mules, not including white mule, 5 motorcycles, $7,500 in cash, 10 tracts of land and 7 stocks of merchandise. These were taken under the provisions of the Volstead law. It does, not include the millions of dollars in fines already paid, far exceeding the total cost, nor the millions to be assessed in cases yet pending for trial. In California, where local dry ordinances are in effect, the result has been profitable as shown by these few samples:
City of Fresno, total cost of enforcement for one year, $7,424; fines collected from bootleggers, $44,640.
Bakersfield, cost about $6,000; fines collected about $44,000.

Chino, in one day, four bootleggers, paid $1 950 in fines.

Yolo county, four bootleggers fined $500 each.

SPEAKS UP FOR LAW
AND ORDER.
Dr.. Eddie R. Driver the
forceful preacher of the Saints
Home Church in the course o!
his sermon. on last Sunday ev.
ening, took occasion to unmer.
cifully score the conditions
which exist in some portions of
the city at this time, he hand-
led the situation without any
gloves, he spoke right out
against crooks, thieves, gam-
blers and bootleggers, he as-
sumed no uncertain stand for
Maw and order.
This is indeed refreshing and
appreciated for when our min-
isters will wake up to a sense
of their real duty and hesitate
not to speak up for law and
order,, less killings will occur
and a better citizenship will
resulc. p
Join hands with the “Soar-
ing Eagle” which has -at all,
times without fear or favor
denounced lawlessness : of all)
sorts and of all conditions. We |
admire the strong - preacher
who is so disassociated from |
crooks, crap shooters and de-|
generates that he is able to!
stand ‘up and denounce the!
‘onditions which obtain and
are becoming weights which
hreaten to drag us all down
‘0 an unenviable position. We

GIVES NEGRO CREDIT.
|. Few white men, even those
who realize that the Negroes
in America, though descend-
ants from-a people which had
retrogressed into a state of
barbarism after they had
builded the civilization that
caused Greece to becomé mis-
tress of the world, and proud
Tome to go mad until she tum-
bled into ruin because she had
reached her height in the
achievements of the old world’s
civilization, are willing to give
this people, especially the
amalgamated group living in
the United States credit or con.
sideration at any time. But
here comes McGroarty in the
Magazine Section of last Sun-
day's Times writing under the
caption:
| “Colored Culture”
| “Something has happened to
the so-called “colored people”
of the United States of which
their white neighbors do not
seem generally to be aware.
_ “In this instance we refer
particularly to the Negro peo-
ple. There are other “color-
ed” people—the Japanese,
Chinese, Hindus’ and others.
But it is the Negroes of whom
we are speaking now—our own
American Negroes. ES
“And what has happened to
them is that there are those
‘among them who have acquir-
red a degree ‘of culture-equal to
that of any Race on earth.

“This class| of cutured Ne-
groes now numbering thous-
ands of men and women of the
race in America is the product
of their own universities ani of
white pniversities, notably Yale
and Harvard. And especially
Harvard, which, to.its everlast-
ing glory be it said, has never
drawn the color line.
“The voice of this cultured
Negro class speaks eloquently
from a page of Burghardt Du-
Bois’s marvelous book, “The
Souls of Black Folk,” where he
says:
““T sit with Shakespeare and
he winces not. Across the col-
ox line I move arm in arm with
Balzac and Dumas, where
smiling men and welcoming
women glide in gilded halls.
From out the caves of evening
that swing between the strong- |
limbed earth and the tracery:
of the stars I summon Aristotle |
and Aurelius-and what, soul 1|
will, and they come all gra- |
ciously with no scorn nor con-
lescension.” \

gro is safe. No sneer can hurt |
nim there; no jibe can break |

Tro is safe.”” |

Mrs. Hulbert went over hte top last
Tuesday evening when sha brought
to sight some of the lights that
burn prightly in the realm of liter-
ary attainment.
‘The evening: program was laanch-
ed with a splendid chorus by Wesley
Choir. The other feature numbers
were rendere} by the Western Jubi-
leo singers.
Madam Outley who was to have
given an organ rendition, but on ac-
count of the condition of tbe oF-
gan wes unable-to perform on that
instrument, charmed the great audi-
ence with er interpretation "of
selections from paper She also
demonstrated supetio: ability - at
tht piano in a duett with her daught-
er. The Griffith Quartett composed
of the two sons and two daughters
of Rev. Griffitm, pastor of the Second
Baptist Churell, in an artistic and
well balanced manner demonstrated
to Los Angeles that they have not
only native ability but superior train-
ing.
‘The others’ numbers consisted of
a tenor solo.by Jas. P. Miller and-a
chorus with Mrs... A, Torrance
taking the solo part by the Coleridge
Taylor Chorus, a reading by Miss
Emma Myles, solo by M. Cloyd and
a charming soprano solo by Miss L.
