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.

COMMENTS
COMMENTS
(BY W. J. Wheaton)
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
No other nation on the face of the earth is composed of as many different races as the United States. With the exception of Asiatics all of them have the privilege of becoming citizens upon application. While giving their whole allegiance to the country of their adoption, as was given in the "Worlds War," they continue to think of the land of the United States, and the land of their lives. They do not wish to lose their identity, and when they accomplish any thing of note, they are eager to have it known as people of such and such a Race. Is it any wonder then, that if any incident occurs that reflects upon the integrity or moral standing of that group that they should not become indignant and protest against, propagandists and protesters, and the like, the great grass? The Jewish women of Butte, Montana, had Shakespeare's Shylock taken out of the Public School curleux, they protested that the majority of the children would not understand, and it would hold the Jewish Race up to ridicule as being an uncharitable, mercenary people. They, the Jews, point with pride to "the" race, and the like, the "23," out of 107,500 emigrants of the Race who entered the United States, only 498 were turned back, and none of them for immorality, asary, or criminal offences. The other day in the city of San Francisco, the Stonben society made a protest against the showing of the sin picture, the Four Horizons, 11, is a German society, and they take the same action as the other, and that had the should be forgot. No one can deny that the Irish were loyal Americans; yet when a play, Mother McGrae, was put on and they believed that some of the incidents were exaggerated, they not only protested, but forced the abandonment of the production of its pride of Race, the pride of competition, the gain of the United States, and the other's aspect of the United 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.
In the cities he met leading men of the colored race, men who must be interesting to read what he wrote. He is generous in his estimates of the black man, likely but with a sense of humor. The further North he drops the more he sees the Negro neglected, his opportunities imposed. He is shocked that a library, bearing Carrainger's name, admits no colored reader. The look of public supporting磷素元素 he did not visit Hingston, though he was asbig as a Northman, but he came he declined to good work but becomes to be a total loss of his importance in the poor, and he was not amused at what he said about personal life. It is this spirit that certain his book is different from that of Aribert or Charles Evans, he was not booofwilted by the state of philanthropy.
While kindly toward the North he is understanding in his words of the years of the years of his name, and that he has not been
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.

The regular concert-goer and music-lover who attends musical affairs grows so accustomed to fundamentals that he takes them as a matter of course. It is with surprise then that he becomes aware of this lack of knowledge on the part of the outsider. Since these fundamentals are prime requisites in the matter of appreciation, we feel that a little information on the subject at this time, will be a help to those who desire to know more about the art.
First, let us consider the song recitalist. We have been asked why the singer gives songs in a foreign language.
The recital is the highest form of artistic expression for the singer and makes exacting demands on him. He must include on his program at least one example of difficult singing if for nothing more than to show what he can do. This calls for an operatic aria or one from an oratorio. The best ones are in foreign tongues and good translations are difficult to find. Thus, the singer must sing in a foreign tongue.
Next, the song literature of all countries is much richer and better than anything that America has produced that he is compelled again to include examples. Most singers include a group of English songs to round out the 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 number will be a concerto or sonata, which is a parallel to the aria of the 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 to show the performer's skill in the rendering of different types of music. This makes for an interesting program. Need we say that all programs are given from memory? The stage deportment of the performer may ruin his success. A few blinks 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. If it is grotesque it will cause laughter and the success of the performer is ruined from the stirt. 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 directly if there is no applause. All performers should wait until the house stops rushing programs, until the ushers close doors and until the plaint tskuC ETAOIN ETAO SHRA late-comers are seated. The accompanist should always follow the soloist on and off the stage, no matter if it is a lady, because for the time being sex is forgotten and the soloist holds the center of the stage. Lady accompanists should never wear bashy 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 accompanists and try to be solists, thus drowning out the real soloist. Singers should never change their numbers without telling the audience, otherwise why have any program at all. We said although everyone is meant, but singers are the greatest offenders in this line.
The foregoing things are fundamentals and are expected as a matter of course. There are many other little things for the individual to learn that will give dignity, poise and freedom, which things, all make for the success or failure of the performer.

Practically all wealth comes out of the ground. While the mineral wealth of America is marvellous, only the more favored people financially are able to enjoy it, but the privileges of the soil are almost universal. We will make a long step forward in our economic life when we begin in large numbers to cultivate 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 is drifting away from the farm. We are flocking to the cities. It is a pity that in the exodus from the south, more of our people have not secured themselves farms in the great north-west. The land usually soon pays for itself, and provides the owner with not only the necessaries, but with the luxuries of life.
Those of us who live in the cities of Southern California have privileges not enjoyed by those who live in the more congested cities of the east. We have the privilege of gardening on a varied scale. It is true that not all of us are gardeners. A young man once said to me: "It seems that the ground will not grow anything for me. I work hard in my garden, but always without success." This is doubtless true of many, but it is true of more of us that we do not 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 buying 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 Hungarian was using every inch of his ground, growing berries and vegetables of every kind which found a ready market at the best prices in that city. The colored man had lived for a number of years in that place without ever considering what his Hungarian neighbor was earning from his land.
One of the members of my Kansas church told me of his success with a single acre of ground. He secured a fine brand of tomatoes, and set out tomato vines on this acre. In one season he made seven hundred and eighty dollars from this acre. That was the equivalent of an annual wage at sixty-five dollars per month. It is strange how the people who know how and what to do can utilize the hours when they are not at their other work to add to the family income by the tilling of the soil. A man with a hoe, the soil and God will make a helpful union.
Garden clubs are good things for young men and boys who have any aptitude for tilling the soil. He would be a philanthropist who would take our boys out and teach them how to grow berries, and vegetables and flowers and fruits, and help them to learn the ways by which a free people may help support themselves.
In this "Own a Home" week in Los Angeles it might not be amiss for our people to consider that home should be in connection with a little piece of ground.
The Busy Mother's Club had charge of the Vesper Services on last Sunday, with Mrs. Bledgett preliding. Mrs. Wickliffe of this city, Mrs. Trotman of New York, and Mrs. Pollock were the speakers. Many of the little tots of the mother's gave interesting musical numbers and recitations. On Sunday, March 36, the last program of the winter will be given at vespers at 4:00 p.m. An interesting program is assured followed by refreshments. The public is cordially invited.
The Student Club is still "humming." At least so they say, who went to their St. Patrick's party on last Friday night. The evening was spent in various games and stunts and refreshments. The decorations carried out the color scheme of the evening in green and white as well as the reenactments of the creams. With a choreographed and cake with frosting, the blitz-boy more

SPECIAL CHALLENGE LETTER
MAILED TO PASTOR A. P.
March 15, 1922.
Rev. A. P. Shaw; Pastor Wesley M.
E. Church, City.
Dear Sir:
As you may have seen in the California Eagle of Saturday, the 11th of March, I have challenged you to a joint debate upon the theme "Is Chandler Owen Right?", since in your article in the Western Dispatch you have beclouded, and never clarified, the economic wage issues between our plutocracy and the keenly suffering masses. You have unfairly, and like a bossy theocrat dragged my name into your feeble, and bourgeois-defending discussion, and you have, by indirection and an intolerant instinct of raising a cleverly conceived prejudice against my race, the Jews, quoted irrelevant and ignorant statements, from Henry Ford's Jew-baiting "Independent," thereby proving how weak and almost defenseless your bankrupt capitalistic cause is.
As a minister I respect you, but I deem you not on whit better than the commonest Jew or the plainest Negro in the world and then, if you think you have a just cause, I hereby ask you to come forth and be a man who will defend it.
I am, very truly yours, in the cause of Socialism, humanity and real Christianity which is Judalism.

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.

The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends.

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.

Rev. H. B. Thomas, Pastor
Sunday was a beautiful day and
in the evening it brought a crowded
house to witness the scene of the
"Beautiful City." A Sacred Canta
tata presented by Miss Ray E
Tucker of New York, who is well
known as a singer and for her liter-
ary ability and is an ardent worker
for every good cause. The occasion
of this play was the 26th anniver-
sary of the Pastor's call to be
a messenger of God. The play was
preceded by a poem dedicated to the
Pastor—"Look abot." by Mrs. J. K.
Payne who proved her self a real
artist. After which came the strains
of music to the Beautiful City we
press our way. A marching chorus
led by the Herald, Mrs. Mattle
Kenedy and the three little angels—
Ruth Payne, Bernice Thomas and
Bertha Male Shanon. The charac-
ters in the play were "Mrs. Pearl
Newman, Pilgrim; Mrs. L. A.
Jones, Teacher; Mrs. Edith A.
Dawkins, Tempter; Madame B.
Alexander, Faith; Mrs. James K.
Payne, Hope; Mrs. Edith A. Daw-
kins, Charity; Messengers A. Daw-
kins Washington; Mrs. Mattie Shanon;
Mrs. Pearl Glen; Mrs. Georgia Swan.
The duet song by Mrs. O. L.
Gadis and Madam B. Alexander was
beautifully rendered, both being in
excellent voice, the female quarte
tete composed of Mrs. L. A. Jones;
Mrs. O. L. Gadia; Madam B. Alexander
and Mrs. Nettie Jones sang "Lead Kindly Light" in a pleasing
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-
nounced the play attention was un-
divided from start to finish. The
audience was held spell-bound; it
was certain that every one was well
pleased. The play was well sustained
by all of the participants playing
their parts well.
Rev. R. H. Wade, our district
missionary preacher, spent all day
Sunday, March 12th, visiting Mr.

Inclusive.
Pleasant it is to glance back through five years of steady growth and progress for St. Paul's; we thank God to-day that He sent us such a man. A man who has lead and fashioned the policies of his people; one who is known as a leader of his time; a message bearer and exponent of friendly Christianity, in that he possesses the God given trait of carrying home to the hearts of men and women, irrespective of

Two highly spiritual services were enjoyed at this church on the past Sunday. There was an overflowing congregation present at the morning service. Rev. A. C. Caldwell, annual conference evangelist preached to the delight of the worshippers. The Holy Spirit blessed the service, with its presence. The pastor preached to a splendid congregation at the evening service. There were six additions to the membership of the church during the day. The choir was at its best and sang to the delight and edification of the people. The services at this church are always of a high spiritual order. Strangers and visitors always ind a hearty welcome.

There were three times as many persons present at the services of this church on the past Sabbath by the Feature Service Plan, ordinarily come. It is the plan of the administration to continue this service each month. The next such service will be in April, when the Helping Hand will have their anniversary. The announcement will be made in later issues. We express thanks to the many friends and visitors who took a part on the program and helped us with their presence.
The pastor will occupy the pulpit at both services next Sabbath. The message of the past Sabbath on "The tragedy of trifling with sin" was a thrill, an awakening, a stimulant and an aid to resolution to all present.
Ward Chapel is a progressive church with a profitable program.

The service at night was well attended. Mrs. Bacon and Mrs. Prioleun sang to the edification of the congregation at the morning service "He died on the cross for me." Mrs. Blakney was the accompanist. Some day we will have a choir.

He having helped to smooth the ravelled cares of toil in life's unceasing struggle, and made the barren ways of life wet with the dew of hope breathing into the daily strife the inspiration of living sympathy We trust the coming year will witness the celebration of many anniversaries under his wise and careful leadership.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE
ATIONAL CHURCH, 344th
ST. AND CENTRAL AVE.
Rev. E. E. Lightner, Pastor.
Sunday was a splendid day at Lincoln in every respect. Quite a large number of the members who have been on the sick list for the past month, were able to resume their places in the services. The Pastor filled the pulpit at both services speaking at the morning hour: "The Wells of Life." The theme for the evening hour was: "The Joy of Salvation." The Sunday School and Christian Endeavor Society held splendid sessions.
This Sunday March 26th. will have good things in store for us. The Pastor will continue his Pre-Easter messages morning and evening. A cordial welcome awaits you at all services.
CHRISTIAN CHURCH, 8th and WALL Sts. (ODD FELLOWS HALL)
Rev. M. Fredreich Mitchell Pastor.
Rev. Mrs. Howard C. Branch filled the pulpit at the Christian Church last Sunday. The speaker gave us a most interesting discourse upon the work of the "Salvation Army". It was indeed a masterly discourse. On hearing Mrs. Branch one is at once convinced that she is a Godsent woman. Sunday night Rev.G. C. Coleman filled the pulpit. His subject was "God's method of financing the Kingdom." It was indeed an instructive sermon.
Next Sunday the pastor will fill the pulpit at both services.
After the morning service the "All Nations Club will meet Mrs. Catherine Kieth, President. Strangers and non-church goers are invited to meet with us.
Many of the members who have been ill during the recent epidemic were back again Sunday morning by their presence adding much to the spirit of worship. Preceding the sermon, in a strong editorial upon "Cultivating the Soll", Dr Griffith illustrated the abundant opportunities offered the Race in helping to solve the economic problem by investing in, and cultivating farm land. Choosing his text from Psalm 77: 13-15, the pastor preached to a congregation filling every available space of the church auditorium. "Our Wonder-Working God" was the subject of the sermon narrated with a farmer and a authority that brought carvers and warm comfort from the hearers.

God redeems by His 'out-stretched arm watch-will redeem a soul; will redeem and save a civilisation and all things related to it.
The evening sermon was developed from the word "Watch." Mark. 13:37. Watch your words, Actions, thoughts, companions, heart and if the Lord should suddenly come you will be ready to receive Him. Five, were received into full membership during the day.
INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF
CHRIST
Cor. 18th and Paloma St.
Rev. N. P. Greggs. Pastor
Beautiful days are becoming more frequent and Sunday was one of them. The solo of the morning was sung by Mrs. Oliver. Rev. Greggs delivered a splendid sermon about Will. Power. It certainly was delivered with the power about which he was speaking.
The evening services were excellent and in harmony with the splendor of that spring night. Mrs. Crawford was soloist. The pastor's text was from Mark 1:40. It is very interesting to know that on this coming Sunday we will have with us the Honorable Dr. H. H. Jones, the medical Missionary to Africa who will speak to us of the black people beyond the high seas of whom we know so little. Besides his lecture, he will show some stereotypic views of the Fatherland.
The Young People's Lyceum, that very progressive little club, will meet this Tuesday in the Sunday School room. Sir Walter Scott is the author. Rev. Gregga will give a talk on the development of words. The doors of our church are ever open to the public.
WESLEY M. E. CHURCH
8th and San Julian Sts.
Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor
Last Sunday was an excellent day at Wesley. The pastor preached an excellent sermon in the morning on "Some of the Blessings of Righteousness and Self-Denial." In the evening very excellent services under the leadership of Sister Tibbett and former graduates of Rust College were rendered. Among the speakers were the following Rust graduates: Prof. T. A. Greene; Mrs. Lillian Elliott Quarles and Rev. A. P. Shaw. An offering of $40 for Rust College was taken.
This Sunday promises many good things. The pastor will preach morning and evening. Morning subject: "For or Against God;" evening, Gospel Service.
Wesley promises a service both informing and inspiring. Good singing; good preaching; good fellowship. Come and see.
ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH
1546 Palomares Ave.
Rev. D. C. Klox, Pastor.
We were favored with a fine service Sunday. We were lifted up by the spirit to a higher realm of God's truth when Pastor Knox had finished his message, subject: "The Office and Work of the Holy Spirit," from which he drew three forms of outlines of the work of the Holy Spirit, convincing the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. With Christ now in Heaven, the spirit is here as the author of the new birth by which only can we enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Rev. A. Redd preached a powerful sermon in the afternoon and the Choir sang. The B. Y. P. U. is growing nicely under the leadership of Mrs. Tennie Williams. New captains were appointed for the work last Sunday, come and get acquainted with them.
The pastor preached from the Lord's prayer Sunday night using for his subject, The Supreme Will: After preaching such an inspiring sermon, three came forward to join the church, one by letter and two as candidates for baptism. We thank almighty God for such a powerful minister as Rev. D. C. Knok. The Sunday School has grown to a very large number under the leadership of Mrs. Katie Johns.
Next Sunday will be the first rally of the year. Rev. A. Lively and members will render the program at the evening service. We hope to make this the greatest campaign revival meeting of our history which is to be conducted by Pastor Knox and Rev. Lively from the New Hope Baptist Church. We also solicit the help and support of other workers and pastors.
If you are in the city and have no church home, come over and see us. At this church you will find the fire burning and the people serving God. Palomares street between Compton and Long Beach;

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.

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.
This day four bootleger-
Chino, in one day, four bootleggers, paid $1 950 in fines.
Salinas, in a few days, eleven convictions and $5,000 in fines.
Sutter county, Uribe Uriguen paid $1,000 fine for making whisky.
Yolo county, four bootleggers fined $500 each.
In San Francisco on March 15th.
Federal Judge Frank H. Rudkin ordered forfeited 12,000 in bonds of 22 alleged prohibition violators when they failed to appear for trial.
Bonds totaling $18,500 were ordered forfeited in his court the day before.

If we are to be despised because we paid out to race employees, who put out the product of race customers in the office during the past 12 months more than $8000.00, we will be satisfied, if not content.
The casual looker on who is much concerned for evenhanded justice, is of course a little bewildered for the lack of speed in the U. S. Senate failing to report out of committee the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill.

Mailing List Thieves and who they are is an open secret. They must continue to take punishment from within and without until their sins have been duly atoned for.
Governor Stephens not unlike Pharoah of old, wil not heed the warning that every group of his constituency is entitled to fair and equal recognition. We wonder if he too will be drowned in the Red Sea.
Herbert Hoover has been up against Hiram Johnson before and a half million and more majority for Johnson was sufficient for all time, in so far as Mr. Hoover is concerned. So there is "nothing doing" along this line of bringing out Hoover to make the race against Johnson.
Charles Gilpin crowned as the world's greatest actor, on March 15th was forced to retire from among his actor friends in a passenger car in the state of Virginia and take a seat in the Jim Crow car, and this happens too in a country which fought for and won real democracy.
Noting the opposition to any forward step by some of our well meaning but misguiding citizens is a sad, sad commentary on a people. However, those who do stand for real and lasting progress must not be faint of heart, but must turn a deaf ear to all who would retard them and carry the ban. ner to the heights of success in spite of this opposition.
The people who are connected with the publication of this journal make the newspaper a business, and we specialize to please the plain, common, average man and woman. We know no high brows and care the less for them; we are much concerned about the progress of the race with which our destiny is linked forever. We seek to help the man or woman who is down, to stand upon his feet, we make it possible for members of our race to acquire pursuits worth while, as demonstrated in this paper and in this office.

Driver the forceful preacher of the Saints Home Church in the course of his sermon on last Sunday evening, took occasion to unmercifully score the conditions which exist in some portions of the city at this time, he handled the situation without any gloves, he spoke right out against crooks, thieves, gamblers and bootleggers, he assumed no uncertain stand for law and order.
This is indeed refreshing and appreciated for when our ministers 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 result.
Join hands with the "Soaring 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 degenerates that he is able to stand up and denounce the conditions which obtain and are becoming weights which threaten to drug us all down to an unenviable position. We are not speaking of black crooks, but speaking of all crooks, but speaking of all the press and all who have the ears of a people will wage a relentless war against these conditions, something is going to move.
In fact Dr. Driver spoke right out on last Sunday. He said, looking over his congregation, that if the conditions did not change and some of the people who were present, did not desist from their unlawful traffic, that he (Driver) would lead a personal crusade against them which would land them all in jail.
Give us a few more courageous preachers like Dr. Driver and law and order will again assert itself to the utmost.
JOHN STEVEN McGROARTY
GIVES NEGRO CREDIT.
Few white men, even those who realize that the Negroes in America, though descendants from a people which had retrogressed into a state of barbarism after they had builded the civilization that caused Greece to become mistress of the world, and proud Rome to go mad until she tumbled 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 consideration at any time. But here comes McGroarty in the Magazine Section of last Sunday'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 people. There are other "colored" people—the Japanese, Chinese, Hindus and others. But it is the Negroes of whom we are speaking now—our own American Negroes.
"And what has happened to them is that there are those among them who have acquired a degree of culture equal to that of any Race on earth. There is today among the Negroes of America a large class that has placed itself beyond the sneers of Negro-baiters and Negro-haters. For that class the "color line" has faded away forever. The people of that class can and do look serenely down on whomever puts himself up as a mental or moral superior.
"For that what happens to man and woman who achieve a high state of mental and moral culture—they are beyond the power of ignorance to do them harm. You can split up another."
If You Fail to Read THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE You May Never Know It Happened
at them and call them "niggers," but you can't spit upon their souls. They can laugh at you in sheerest pity—and they do.
"This class of cutured Negroes now numbering thousands of men and women of the race in America is the product of their own universities and of white universities, notably Yale and Harvard. And especially Harvard, which, to its everlasting glory be it said, has never drawn the color line.
"The voice of this cultured Negro class speaks eloquently from a page of Burghardt DuBois's marvelous book, "The Souls of Black Folk," where he says:
"I sit with Shakespeare and he winces not. Across the color 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 I will, and they come all graciously with no scorn nor condescension."
"In that high world the Negro is safe. No sneer can hurt him there; no jibe can break his heart.
"In that high world the Negro is safe."
A meeting to organize a local council of the Friends of Negro Freedom will be held Thursday, March 30th at 8 p. m. at the Parish Hall of St. Phillips Episcopal Church, 1527 Paloma Ave.
The Friends of Negro Fretdom, headed by such men as Owen and Randolph, Editors of the Messenger magazine, R. W. Bornall of Detroit, the Grimkes of Washington, D. C. George Frazier Miller, W. A. Domingo and other well known champions of liberty aims to widen together the economic strength of the black workers and consumers and wage collectively a war against all kinds of economic political or social oppression and discrimination.
MRS. CLARA C. HULBORT SCORES
Tuesday evening, of this week Wesley Chapel was the scene of an aggregation of some of the best local talent to be found in Los Angeles. Those who are in the habit of attending literary affairs composed of local talent will readily concede that Mrs. Hulbert went over hte top last Tuesday evening when she brought to sight some of the lights that burn brightly in the realm of literary attainment.
The evening program was launched with a splendid chorus by Wesley Choir. The other feature numbers were rendered by the Western Jubilee singers.
Madam Outley who was to have given an organ rendition, but on account of the condition of the organ was unable to perform on that instrument, charmed the great audience with her interpretation of selections from Dunbar. She also demonstrated superior ability at the piano in a duet with her daughter. The Griffith Quartett composed of Rev Griffith, the two daughters of Rev Griffith pastor of the Second Baptist Church, in an artistic and well balanced manner demonstrated to Los Angeles that they have not only native ability but superior training.
The others' numbers consisted of a tenor solo by Jas. P. Miller and a chorus with Mrs. T. A. Torrance taking the solo part by the Coleridge Taylor Chorus, a reading by Miss Emma Myles, my solo by M. Cloyd and a charming soprano solo by Miss L. Collins, closing the evening with another chorus by the Coleridge Taylor Club with Mrs. H. Norwood as soloist and Prof. H. Douglass Greer as director.
PRES. GREER DEFENDS THE
HON. MARCUS GARVEY.
(Concluded from Page 1)
rican believes in Marcus Garvey and that the U. N. I. A. will triumph ultimately; that he, through the combined labor and ingenuity of African people with the other scattered groups throughout the world, will scale the heights whereon other races have taken their proud, imperial stand.
You are not an American. The U. N. I. A. has the sympathy of all good Americans, and invoked the sympathy or the world in th magy web into which the organization entangled itself with reference to the Black Star Line situation.
You began by saying that for two and a half years you have read of the activities of the Hon. Marcus Garvey here. In the United States. This declaration no one of us will gainey or deny for we have flooded the world with our literature. You have read it, but certainly you have failed to understand it. Why? The objects and purposes are couched in clear, cohesive language, so clear that "a way-faring mash, through a fool, need not our thouls." It is a real reflection upon some in-
---
telligence that you fail to understand us after two and one half years of earnest appeal.
Notwithstanding, your article contains intermittent coups of understanding—very alight of course; some little things which prove that you can think, but not logically. We have known some agitators who argue wrongly from a right principle, others who argue rightly from a wrong principle, but, you are wrong in principle and in argument. You have strayed so far from the highway of reason and common sense that any logical efforts to reclaim you could only prove abortive.
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The mirror reflects the likeness of the face. The faith by which $w_0$ live is refractory of the heart and mind. A microcephalic idiot can only reflect the angle of ignorance. The human mind cannot with impunity attack objects bigger and greater than itself without being prepared for the impact; there lies great danger in becoming lost in the mazes, which often brings about mental torpidity, atrophy—chronic insanity. The microcephalic idiot has a conception (perhaps) detached from all others, disjunctive, out of all reativity; it cannot be called a mind—has no value. The normal conception adjusts itself to the standards. We beg that you enlarge your conception to suit the dimensions of the propositions that might confront you in the future, instead of trying to reduce each proposition to a size suitable to your scant intelligence.
You further declare that the course now being persuaded by Mr. Garvey will never be of any benefit to the few Negroes of the world that he will be able to lead.
That Mr. Garvey believes in his people, and that they will give their support to the carrying-out of his noble designs is an ideality founded upon faith—a supposition with a futuristic probability—a hope with an eternal possibility. At any rate he could not allow the academic abstractions of gimlet-headed agitators—to mar the progress of our grand organization, nor deter us in our efforts to unify Negroes throughout the world.
And you say you are burnised that some of the best educated men in this community allowed themselves to be misled by Mr. Garvey
Our greatest surprise is "that they so early grew weary in well-doing, and deserted the ship which Destiny chactered to take them across the 'Red Sea' into the 'Promised Land.' If the doctrine, "Back to Africa" was propounded to the Negroes of America over twenty-eight years ago by a Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and you rejected him, repudiated his doctrine, it means that that Bishop was just twenty eight years ahead of his time, and superior in wisdom to the people he exhorted. He was the correrunner of Mr. Garvey. We can hear him now crying out in the wilderness of social and economic oppression. "Prepare ye the way of the King." Now you are happy that the Bishop failed in that which was no doubt, nearest and dearest to his heart. We are sorry, not for the Bishop, but you, "O! generation of vipers."
And now the Bishop's mantle has fallen upon the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and should be fall, it will be much easier for his successor.
You ask the question "Where did Mr. Garvey get his authority to lead Negroes throughout the world?" We beg, where did you get your authority to champion the cause of the American Negro, your audacity to pursail the intelligence of the four million Negroes who constitute the U. N. I. A.? Were you elected, selected or appointed? By what authority, under what pretext do you

Law and authority may be identical. One is imposed, the other superimposed. Law is a rule that established an unintended by power; something permanent, unvarying, continuous; the same yesterday, to-day and forever.
Moses was a law giver. Where did he get his authority? Certainly not from the children of Israel. It came directly from God. (So does that of Marcus Garvey). It comes by divine revelation. God gave Moses a spiritual law applicable to every phas<sub>o</sub> of human existence. It was faith in the invisible God, belief that authority had been given Moses for carrying out the law that caused the children of Israel to follow him into the "Promised Land." Had they rejected that great plan for their own salvation God never would have released them from captivity and from bondage.
You admit that Negroes are mistreated in a great many instances but that they never act the coward by fleeing to another country. Here you invoke laughter. We were about ready to take you seriously, declaring, too, that you are 100 per cent. American. We believe your testimony about as much as we do that of the average man or woman who has made reservations in Heaven, but who loves this life so well that he declines the celestial invitation only to await a bench warrant issued by the high Sheriff—Death. They would rather stay here and suffer the "arrows of outrageous fortune," than go to Heaven on fowry beds of ease. Now are they cowards?
