Church was crowded o the door and more than a hundred people had to be turned away last Sunday morning when Bishop Wm. Alfred Fountain, D. D. occupied the pulpit, delivering a great and timely sermon on "Christian Efficiency Grows Out of Christian Suffering." Much stress was placed upon the fact that the M-theodist Church believes in Sanctification, but not in canonification. He declared that the Spirit's presence makes all those things sacred and holy and we should grow in grace and in His likeness. "Bishop made for new members, and six women united with the church. Mrs. Emma Smith send-ed a soul stiring solo following a beautiful anthem by the choir, under direction of Mrs. Fred M. Roberts, just before the sermon. Pastor Ward and his church are happy to say the best. Bishop Fountain addressed the young people at Sunday School on "The Boy Jesus."

COMMENTS. The eyes of the West are turned toward the Near East. Ever since the Greek debacle, England, France, and Italy have been moving their pawns on the international political chess board. The move of those nations are made for supremacy in some sense; political or commercial. But to throw a screen about the real issue, the horrors of a religious war or the surging tide of color supremacy, is held up to the gaze of Western civilization. England, France, Italy, each one hesitates to take the initiative against Turkey for within their Empire. Kingdom. Republic. are millions of restless people of color whom, they fear, will rush to the standard of the Crescent and wage a war, beside which the recent world conflict will pale into insignificance. The burning of Smyrna has been laid to the Turks, but recent investigation has proven that it was the warriors of Constantine who burned and looted that city. Turkish soldiers were lending their assistance to wounded Greek soldiers and Armenians when they were fired upon by Greek civilians. And yet the Moslem worshippers of Allah, are accused of atrocious deeds of violence. It is claimed that the Moslems prayed for the Angel of Discord to spread dissension, and antagonism among the Christian Powers. A noted Christian leader observes that the Moslem prayer has been answered. And the result? A divided Christ-endem. Turkey has surprised the world in her defiance of British power. The white man has made color his Fetish. He has made color his basis for domination. He has plundered, murdered, and enslaved because of color. "There must come a day of reckoning, unless he exemplifies the teachings of the Nazarete upon which he bases his Christian civilization. The acknowledgement that the Moslem prayer to the Angel of Discord, was answered, shows a lack of faith in the efficacy of Christian prayer. Perhaps after all, "God is God and Allah is his prophet." "The voters of our group were somewhat surprised to learn that "Jim" Alexander" had decided to cast his "Castor" in the ring and stand for the Legislature. Not being thoroughly conversant with the situation it is hard to say, whether or not, it be good politics. We heard it said that Alexander would run independent: that was during our recent visit to the Southern City, and then the rumor was emphatically denied. Well, we trust that the "best man wins," and that the fight may be a clear one. Well, there is one complex that, as a race of people, we must get rid of; and that is the feeling of inferiority. We have it, deny it as we will. We are gradually throwing it off, but it is asking a great deal to eliminate in a couple of decades what has been bred into us for a couple of centuries. We see it exhibited in various ways when those who would assume political leadership are making overtures for recognition. Edward B. Mabson, attorney, announces his candidacy for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, short term ending January 1923. Attorney Mabson is a clean upstanding lawyer. A member of the San Francisco Bar. The various amendments, referenda, and other things are receiving the sturdious consideration of the voters. The power bill, and Sample bill come in for the major part of the interest show. Its really funny to see some of our "Brothers" "gum-boeing" in and out of the various quarters. Friend Richardson says he is going to win in spite of the "machine." Saying "machine" to Friend is like throwing dust in a Bull's face. They tell me that even the Daughty Senator is not feeling any too easy and is watching the political weather vane with a critical eye. Trust no man' is his slogan. WILDING SENTIMENT When we look with seriousness upon the moving picture of racial events that are ever passing before us, we are inclined to stop and consider, whether or not, we are grasping the opportunity of welding the sentiment, favorable sentiment, created in our behalf. Sentiment rules the destinies of people, and propaganda is her hand maiden. It is the creation of sentiment that causes war or makes for peace; causes monarchies to tremble, and thrones to crumble. There is a great possibility that we have allowed various opportunities for welding centered sentiment to pass by all grieping them at the psychological moment. Had we welded the sentiment created in favor of the hope, and laughing, measure, its existence had been inevitable. WEST SIDE CITIZENS CROWD COUNCIL CHAMBERS. DISTINGUISHED VISITOR HON. OSCAR HUDSON Attorney Oscar Hudson of San Francisco one of the leading barrriers of Northern California was a visitor in the city this week. He was here on a political mission supporting Thomas Lee Woolwine for governor. Mr. Hudson, is a live wire and has made real progress in the practice of his profession. He takes a keen interest in the political welfare of the race and is always to the forefront in all matters which mean real advancement. The Woolwine forces have in Mr. Hudson a real worker and no doubt his effort in behalf of the Woolwine cause will mean much for those who are for the daughty District Attorney. Mr. Hudson is well and favorably known throughout the state and is esteemed as one of the strong froces of the race for real progress. His work is a demonstration of his worth, he stand in the forefront as a member of the bar and maintains a suite of offices on Montgomery street in San-Francisco which are said to be one of the finest suites extant, maintained by any one attorney. He has ever been a staunch supporter of the Negro Press and without journalistic ambitions has never failed to contribute his bit for the success of the Negro Press. MME. FLORENCE COLE TALBERT, AMERICA'S GREATEST SINGER IN RECISAL MME. FLORENCE COLE TALBERT, AMERICA'S GREATEST SINGER IN RECISAL --- Miss Florence Cole came to Los Angeles at the age of 10 years. She joined the Tabernacle Baptist Church at the early age of eleven and was a faithful attendant at church and Sabbath School. She was the first colored child to play the piano for the public schools, having been chosen pianist of the McKinley Ave. School. When she graduated from that school she wrote the class song. Entering High School at 14 years, she also filled the office of organist for the Presbyterian Mission, and at the same time as student of voice and organ she applied herself diligently. But there was no central directing point for the issuing of favorable propoganda: the welding of the sentiment created. If the N. A. A. C. P., the Equal Rights, League, African Brotherhood, Sons of Freedom, and what not would lay aside their "Pig headedness," get together and confer, then act on some feasible plan to create and weld favorable sentiment, the entire South, with the Administration thrown in, could not avail against its passage. The women under the leadership of Mrs. Talbert, Hallie Brown, Mrs. James Curtis and Pearl Lowry Winters, have started to raise one million dollars to create favorable sentiment. And they will succeed. They know how. Let us hope that a sentiment will be created, will grow up and be nurtured into mature strength and vigor; our racial status secure against the wills of prejudice; our influence for national progress be encouraged, and appreciated; and the race be perpetuated as a proud example of manhood and womanhood, entitled to, and given, the respect of mankind. These things cannot be accomplished without centralization. We must eliminate the personal equation for the common good. It remains with us whether we are to attain racial standing in the nation by unity or endeavor, or become insignificant and withered fragments, blown thither and not by the will and caresses of our members. $2.00 The Year We pay little attention to boxing. We read after the ring about like we ordinarily follow Wall Street stocks. But when something unusual happens in Wall Street—a panel or a bomb plot—we are eager for the details of the phenomenon because they represent a wider interest than the few bankers involved or the apprehended anarchistic suspects. So since something big has turned up in boxing we are closely observing the attendant reactions. Battling Siki, black Frenchman from Africa, whipped Georges Carpentier, idol of the Boulevards, into unconsciousness in six rounds of a scheduled twenty round bout. Fifty thousand people saw this fight in Paris on Sept. 24. Siki is now heavyweight champion of Europe and light heavy weight champion of the World. He is the man of the hour. This encounter is fraught with significance. Let us first consider it on the other side of the Atlantic. Press' accounts state that Carpenter, upon entering the ring, fairly turned into a movie actor before the battery of ringside cameras. He wanted the outside view to see that he at no time considered his opponent even worthy of being taken seriously. With him it was only a pink tea affair. Poor Siki did not boast, but determined to do his best. At the end of the third round 'Georgeous Georges' foresaw his impending doom. He grew desperate. He openly tried to foul, trip, or anything to save himself—and the spectators hissed. Siki took all this and kept pounding away. In the sixth round Georges was knocked out, helpless—his nose and both wrists broken, and one eye closed. He was clearly a well beaten man. But when Georges fell, one foot went up between Siki's legs. His manager, Deschamps, in a mad effort to save his protogee, yelled "Fault!" and the referee sustained the view. This disqualified Siki and gave the victory to the helpless Georges. The 50,000 trans would not stand for this open cheat. How could a man win who was clearly knocked out? And if this was to count against Siki as a foul, then Georges should have been out long before Siki declared the winner. The multitude hissed and abused the judges for an hour until they reversed the decision and declared Siki the victor. This is what we call sportsmanship. France still has an idol, although he be "black." On this side of the Atlantic there is a different picture. Harry Wills, universally praised as a clean sportsman, has been for over a year called the "logical" contender for the crown now worn by Jack Dempsey. Harry has whipped everybody up to Jack and still there is evasion. Jack has not met a single contender since he defeated this selfsame Georges at Jersey City, N. J., on July 2, 1921. He has fought less than any other world champion in the history of boxing. He has gained the name of being the "Big Bluff." The spirit of genuine sportsmanship is far amiss in America. And we dare say, had the Siki-Carpenter bout been in the United States, the winner would have been "Gorgeous Georges." That is Americanism in action. In sportsmanship at least, we prefer "Frenchism." The New York Times, among other things, had this to say on the fair-play spirit of France: "Battling Siki from Senegal has stopped Mr. Georges Carpentier, and French statesmen ought to pause and think it over. France, in Africa, has taken up the legacy of Rome; also some of Rome's colonial policies. Because there are notenough white Frenchmen to hold the Rhine frontier, France undertakes to make Frenchmen out of Sahara tribesmen and equatorial negroes. They may be able to do it, in several thousand years; meanwhile there is a gap which can't be bridged by the ribbon of the Legion of Honor. And there are more black Frenchmen than white Frenchmen. Some day they may develop a wallop that will upset things of more importance than Georges Carpentier. "Rohne tried to make Romans out of frontier savages, and with fair BATTLING SIKI By Chandler Oyien PETER H. Number 31 The question of the location of another soap shop ends factory at 36th & Western Ave was the Cause which brought more than 200 residents of the West, Side to the Chamber of the City Council on yesterday A petition had been filed last week by more than 300 property holders all members of the West Side Improvement Association requesting the city council to recidiv its action which made all the West Side residence district a industrial done, the petitioners were told to be at the Council Chamber Friday morning at 10 o'clock a.m. for a hearing, when they arrived the president of the Association was told by the minute clerk Mr. Carroll. That there would be no hearing" and further that the petition which had been filed had also been voted down a week ago by the City Planning Commission, or to be more exact on the very day that it was filed. The City clerk claimed that he did not have the petition nor could he find it, after a search in every department of the city Hall. The petition was found pigeon holed in the rooms of the City Planning Commission, the clerk refused to turn it over, until ordered to do so by councilman R. S. Sparks who got the petition and personally presented it to the Council. As soon as he had presented the petition, Councilman R. Allen (the Vardaman of the Council) moved that the whole matter be thrown out. Councilman Sparks vigorously opposed this and suggested that the permit given the Blue Bird laundry was illegal, where-upon the Council referred the whole matter to the city attorney for his report as to the legality of the permit. The City Attorney called up the Blue Bird laundry requesting them to cease, further building operations pending the outcome of his findings. They refused absolutely to heed his request to suspend building. Councilman Allen (Vardaman of the council) stated that he was bucking them. This self same Robert Allen who had took special interest in all matters which would hamper and keep down real progress for a certain group of our citizens, he is strong in his stand and so excited stated that the Blue Bird laundry was going through if he take the whole official strength of the city to do so and that the only offer he has the option of the whole zoning law. He told the president of the Association, attorney H. E. Mach that if he was so fortunate as to succeed in doing this that he would be sorry that he did it. The whole program is to turn the beautiful residence district on the West Side into a industrial district, destroying the value of the beautiful colored homes and permitting the white people of Wilshire. Hollywood and the South West side to have their clothes washed in the colored residence districts and save their own residence districts from being unratted by these unsightly, unsanitary and dangerous laundries. The West Side Improvement Association will hold a big mass meeting of property holders on Monday right at which time plans for future action will be made, and no doubt legal redress will be sought to meet the exigencies of the occasion.

But the process of Romanization was too slow; real Romans died off faster than new Romans could be made. Eventually the frontier savages were left to do most of the fighting; and they soon discovered that there was more loot to be got by fighting against Rome than for Rome it ought to be obvious, but is sometimes forgotten, that the supremacy of white civilization depends on things like the machine gun, the airplane and the superdressnought. If other races can learn how to manipulate these implements of superiority, they can afford to defer their studies in the politer phases of European culture." We only wish to remark that we believe France fundamentally right in her course. We are not deluded with the idea that white people will always rule this world anyway. And when their end comes, France will certainly receive more clemency than any other nation—certainly more than the United States if a black American's desires carry any weight.

Oct. 12: Last spring, as school days were waning, the question of mascots among Negro colleges and universities was considered among the students here. At that time the students were opposed to selecting "tawny mane" as the living symbol of the athletic prowess and achievements of Lincoln. Certain students, however, were determined that our schools, and Lincoln in particular, should have some animal which could be placed on songs and yells, which would look snappy upon pennants and banners, and, in addition, add class and cost to the warriors upon the field of battle. At a mass meeting this fall the matter of mascots came up again. The bull, typifying ruggedness, masculinity, and beastly terror, was suggested. The "king of the herd" had a large following, especially of Sophomores, but he lacked sufficient votes to become the choice of the college rooters. Following the rejection of the bull, a long list of animals were presented, including the bear, the gnu, the boa, the panther, the eagle, the bat, the shark, the buffalo, and the lion again. An ingenious Senior and head cheerleader, W. Harold Webb, sketched a hugh, ferocious lion and showed that by magnifying the first, second fifth and seventh letters of the word Lincoln; thus—LincolnNOL—the word lion would be clearly seen in the word Lincoln. When this was done and the natural qualitie of the "king of all beasts" were lauded the students over-whemingly selected the lion as the mascot of Lincoln University. Already there is a general call for the pennant with the smashing lion upon it. In the Autumn Football Classic at Washington on Thanksgiving Day the Orange and Blue of Lincoln will be doubly recognized by the appearance of this mascot in big time fashion. The squad is zealously preparing for this and other frays. The first game of the season was played against Bordentown Industrial School on October 7th. This game showed many weaknesses, among them a weak line, a slow back field, and a lack of team work. The score being only 9-0 in Lincoln's favor meant a victory for Bordentown, considering her opponents. Since then Coach Law, a former captain of the Lincoln Lions and an All-American half-back, has been grilling and whipping his men into concerted action. The coach has some splendid material and still some time to build a team. Four strong teams are yet to be met. The schedule for the year is: Oct. 7 with Bordentown Industrial School, at Bordentown, N. J. Oct. 14 with Harrisburg, A. A., at Lincoln University, Pa. Oct. 21 with Morgan College, at Lincoln University, Pa. Nov. 18, with Wilberforce University at Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 20 with Howard University, at Washington, D.C. The third game will be played with Morgan State on Lincoln campa- pa, Saturday, October 11.

RELEASE NO. 7, October 27th THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL SANITARIUM FOR NEGOES The International Community Welfare League is preparing for the establishment of one of the finest sanitariums in North America at Santa Clara, Lower California, Mexico. The site, which is one of the finest and most ideal to be found in North America, has already been bought. Plans for the erection of the sanitarium are being prepared by a committee of Physicians and architects under the directions of Doctors Ruth J. Temple and Leonard Stovall of Los Angeles, California. The sanitarium will be erected by the unit system. Each local League of The International Community Welfare League will choose which unit of the program it will furnish. These program units will extend from foundation to roof, and will include beds, sheets, medical supplies, etc. Every woman's organization, church society, and kind hearted member of the Race throughout the United States will be asked to donate some article as a memorial in this great Race effort. Every bit of work or article furnished, will bear the name of the party furnishing same. The sanitarium will be operated on a non-profit basis. The members of the League will receive for a minimum sum such treatment as is necessary for their recovery. The general public will be treated at a reasonable compensation. The famous Santa Clara Warm Sulphur Springs are noted for their medicinal qualities along the Pacific Coast from Canada to South America. They are particularly beneficial for persons suffering from bronchial, kidney or lung affection. There are also two mineral springs, the water of which have been found to be high in mineral properties and are recommended highly for blood and internal disorders. From the statistical research conducted by The International Community Welfare Leauge, it was found that of the fifteen millions of Negroes in the United States; three percent of them die annually from diseases that require sanitarium treatment. At present there is no place for them to go for treatment. The International Community, Welfare League, offers for the benefit of those who now are on their way to an early grave, the wonderful opportunity of prolonging their lives through the development of this great Sahta Clara Sanitarium the site of which is located just 186 miles from Los Angeles, and forty miles beyond the Mexican border. Further information may be had from any local League or by addressing The International Community Welfare League, American Headquarters, 221 Lissner Building, Los Angeles, California. CROOKED LAWYER GETS NINETY DAYS IN JAIL BEFORE JUDGE CHAMBERS. COURT FOR DEFRAUDING SOARING EAGLE Whie we had an abiding faith in our correct knowledge as to who the thief was that engineered the trick and stole a part of our mailing lilt, we could not get quite enough of real evidence to bring the master mind into court, the very best that we could have done was to convict an under strapper of the crime. But from that incident we promised ourselves that no more liberties with this publication would be tolerated for one moment, and if so that they would certainly have to see the judge. For some weeks complaints continued to come to our attention of one who signed his name as J. C. Banks, who was obtaining subscriptions and advertising for this paper. We immediately notified the police, Detective Sergants R. R. Green, H. Garrott and Klimbrough were assigned to the task of locating the culprit and in due time they found their man who proved to be none other than W. I. Yancey, a lawyer, who came to this city about one year ago and opened up a law office near 15th and Central; cases came few and far apart and having had some newspaper experience back in the East, without the formality of any arrangements he sets out to get business for the "Soaring Eagle" and the result of his efforts landed him before Judge Chambers on last Tuesday. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 90 days in the city jail; here he can meditate if it is not the better way to go straight, and come out of jail and take up his profession and see if he really and truly will not make a greater success at the law than he would have made as an unhired solicitor of a newspaper. The Eagle desires to thank the officers mentioned above, for locating and arresting this self-confessed thief and rendering a real service to this community by discouraging such pernicious actions.

BOSTON POST, Friday, May 19, 1922.—The Recital by the Song Bird of the Pacific Coast. Madam Jackson of Seattle, Washington made her initial bow before a Boston audience last night to a full house. Her voice is clear and full of music. Her execution and stage demeanor did credit to herself. Many musical people were in the audience and applauded heartily. So remarkably sweet is her voice she is known as the Song Bird of the West. KANSAS CITY DAILY GLOBE, June 10, 1922.—Madam Estella Slater Jackson charmed an appreciative audience with a selected and varied program which showed the range and possibilities of her remarkable voice.

AMONG THE FOUR ROUNDERS AT MADISON SQUARE GARDENS Madison Square Arena played to a good house on last Wednesday evening and a real good card brought satisfaction to the fans. As a Curtain Raiser Young Kiser vs. Kid Blackwell went four rounds of real milling Kiser the white boy was awarded a unquestionable decision. Second Bout Battling Reagan (white) vs. Battling Steve. This was a rattling good go four round to a draw. Third Go Baby Gans vs. Jack Thomas (white). This was a classy bout. Gans had his hands full to gain the decision at the end of the fourth by making a wonderful spirit in the final round. Fourth Session Kid Blondie vs. Young Larry (white). Kid Blondie who by his previous starts had made himself popular with the fans was a favorite to win in this bout. Young Larry started out like a whirlwind, but it seemed that Blondie had his measure and met his ruches and knocked him down right on the go. The Kid was up on his feet in a second and madly rushed Blondie to the ropes and in the mix up Blondie went down, striking the back of his head on the edge of the floor and was counted out. The bout lasted less than two minutes. Blondie's supporters will not be satisfied only with a return match. Semi Wind-Up Dummy Weller the trial horse was too fast for Lightning Davis and try as he would Davis could not put his man away and was luck to get a draw in the four sessions of milling. Main Event Kid. Booker vs. Bobby Allen (white). This was a rattling good go and was truly the Main Event. However, the Veteran Kid Booker was too much for Bobby and was awarded the decision. Next Wednesday's card promises to be a hummer and the Madison square will be a lively place to go on this occasion.

By: 4WM. MELLS WATSON Three hundred berries will be shoveled into the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs' cash vault at its next meeting in the vestry room or St. Philip's Monday night. November 8th, at least this much is assured now that the Westside Ladies' Club fell in line with the Alpha and Westside clubs and promises to decorate the money drawer, and be it known ye "doubting Thomases" that the Fed itself can scribble a check for a hundred beans of personal property, and if those lovable little Alpha Parthenian darlings break thru with the old "century request" as they undoubtedly will at their Thursday night meeting, why, ar—the old "Club house or Bust" thing won't need to "bust." Club's Growing Hagerty "Presactly" ten new members have been drafted into the local tennis chain gang since the Labor Day journey and 5 of these admit that they came in because of the club house threat, which shows that a club house is as essential to our future success as suspenders to dad's Sunday knickers. Dewey Qualifies Too Not to be out-done by certain pretty tennis mamas on the Weside of Main Street last week Mrs. Dewey Edson presented another West Side Tennis Club member with a brand new heavy piped male being with six cylinder lungs as everybody in the neighborhood of 1682 W. 36th Place will testify. While two stepping along under a half ton of Uncle Sam's mail every day Dewey never fails to point an accusing finger at the "boobs who can't"—Atta baby, Dewey!

Richardson for Governor, Hiram W. Johnson for United States Senator is how the Soaring Eagle stands on the political situation in California. Friend Richardson speaking this week to the Managing editor of the California Eagle said that he was unalterably opposed to the Ku Klux Klan and further that if he were elected Governor of this State that if this dastardly organization should attempt to put forth any demonstration that as Governor of the State he would put it down if it took the entire military force of the State to do so. This should satisfy anybody who has the slightest idea that a man of Mr. Richardson's calibre was capable of being in sympathy with this outlaw band of cowards. The weights which holds down a Nation State, Communities or a race is hatred, malice and prejudice and the quicker we get down to brass tacks and eschew these cardinal vices the sooner we will rise to the heights of real units in the mighty march of progress. This being so it is therefore an indispensible duty that we owe, to eschew, hatred, malice and prejudice and be on our way to greater and more noble accomplishments. THE POLICE AND FIREMEN'S PENSION. There is no measure which is to be voted upon at the coming election of more vital importance than Amendment No. 8A, known as the Policemen's and Firemen's Pension Bill, not because it benefits any particular class of citizens but because it is just and right. This measure should become a law to give a protection to these public servants who are a living sacrifice; in fact their positions are of such a hazardous nature that no Life Insurance Company will underwrite a policy for them and this feature alone should suffice for every voter to give to this measure his unqualified support. We cannot by any stretch of the imagination conjure up any reason why there could be any serious opposition to this measure and we urge upon every voter to give their undivided support to this Amendment. RENDERING A SERVICE. In the hurly burly of a passing age and the glamour of a passing light falls upon those who are rendering a real service to mankind, not for greed, not for spotlight honors, but with a heart which goes out for the man and woman who cannot help themselves, obscure but yet measuring up to the heights, the light in days to come will focus its rays upon one known as Mother Pryor who is an evangelist in spirit and in fact. Her work and efforts in establishing a home in the balmy clime of Monrovia for the down and out are worthy of the highest commendation, by hard work night and days in season and out of season this guardian angel of mankind has about paid for a piece of land in which to build a home in Monrovia for the heads of those who are in such dire need of a place to lay their heads. She has had an c d uphill task but a kind Providence has made it possible for her to see the light of day and her eyes sparkle as she cann see at no far distant day a splendid home unfolding itself and a haven of rest for the afflicted to go for a restoration of health who otherwise would have no place to go. The writer has appreciated the services of Mother Pryor and that her very soul is dedicated to real service of humanity and we feel impelled to write these words of commendation and support. THIS BOND ISSUE WORTHY OF SUPPORT. That the City is faced with the absolute necessity of making extensions and improvements to its municipal water system that will cost more than $5,000,000, it has been decisively pointed out by Chief Engineer William Mulholland, of the Water Bureau, urging the people to vote for the issuance of $5,000,000 in water bonds at the November 7th election. The proposed water bond issue will appear on the election ballots as proposition 19-A. The issuance of $5,000,000 in water bonds will not increase the peoples' taxes one cent, it has been explained by Mr. Mulholland. Official action has already been taken by the Board of Public Service Commissioners, providing for the payment of all interest and sinking fund requirements on these bonds, out of water revenue. On the other hand, should the people fail to authorize the proposed $5,000,000 water bond issue, Mr. Mulholland has asserted, the City will be forceted to raise the present water rates in order to derive a sufficient revenue to finance, immediately, the building of necessary improvements to the water system that will cost several million dollars. Officials of the Public Service Commission have pointed out that it would be unfair, to the water consumers, to increase the present water rates in order to meet, out of the water revenues, during the brief period of construction, the total cost of permanent extensions to the water system. By the issuance of bonds, the cost of these permanent extensions will be spread over a long period of time, it was pointed out, so that the annual interest and sinking fund requirements on these bonds may easily be taken out of water revenues without increased cost to the consumer. THE CENTRAL AVENUE GARDENS. As a usual thing it pays our people to be skeptical of financial propositions fostered by the white man for the "Nogro's Good." Going South on Central Ave. to.Shorb Ave., and two blocks East thereof a most spacious, promising tract has recently been opened to our people. This fact alone is remarkable that in a desirable neighborhood and on land which the Japanese have had and have even yet under cultivation, rich loamy soil producing anything in the line of vegetation, that this land has been offered to our people, in which they might purchase a homesite. No signs of "Restrictions as to Race" are posted there. This perhaps is due to the fact that the white men who purchased this property are indeed white Mr. C. F. Ruggles and J. A. Grell the owners are men who care not for a man's color in a business proposition; money talks with them. Then too, they are giving our people the chance of their life in offering them this property at such low figures and on such easy terms. See the Banks Brothers of the Eastside Realty Co. for this property. PROMINENT CITIZEN! CROSSSES THE DIVIDE After a lingering illness of nigh unto 2 years duration A. C. Richardson prominent citizen, leading fraternal and church worker on last Monday morning passed away. Mr. Richardson was a man who to know was to ever appreciate his friendship and acquaintance; hale, hearty, well-met and generous to a fault he was at the time that he was stricken a man who was indeed interested in things which meant real progress for the Race, always ready to contribute his share toward any effort which stood for real progress. It is such a man we join in with his friends and brethren to mourn his loss. The Eagle joins in extending words of sympathy to his faithful helpmate in this her hour of sorrow. The funeral will be held today from the Independent Church, Cor. of 18th and Palomai. The masonic fraternity will escort the remains from the Richardson home, 1044 E. Washington St. to the church and from there to the cemetery. DAUGTER OF KANSAS PASSES. Miss Edna Allen was born in Galena, Kansas in the year 1880.

REPORT ON TRIAL OF FAY ALMA SMITH, SLAYER OF ABTHUR BELL. — By Will Hefflin, Special Reporter. The case of Fay Alma Smith, charged with the murder of Arthur Bell in this city at 9545 1/2 Central Avenue during the night of February 14, 1922, by shooting him five times, came up regularly for hearing on September 19, in Department 19 of the Superior Court of thi County, before the Hon. Russ Avery, Judge. The prosecution was repre- sented by Deputy District Attorneys J. J. Hill and J. P. Costello, while the defense attorneys were E. B. Ceruil and W. H. Willis. The ten days' trial was opened after the selection of the jury, by Mr. Hill who made his opening statement to the jury that he intended to prove that the deceased came to his death as a result of five gunshot wounds inflicted by the defendant, with malice after a day spent in tracing his movements and those of Jimmie Seigler, a friend of the deceased. The first witness on the站 was Mrs. Janie Williams, mother of Arthur Bell, who testified that he was about 31 years old and that he came to his death as a result of gunshot wounds at the Receiving Hospital in the early morning of February 15, 1922, and that his body was later removed to Smith and Williams. Undertakers. The next witness was Jimmie Seigler, the alleged lover of Arthur Bell and the third angle of the triangle. She testified that on the night of the killing she had a visitor in the person of Charles Wagner who had been sent to entice her out to a place behind a sign-board where Miss Smith was waiting. That, Miss Smith had visited her on February 5 and threatened her and in response to a question by the District Attorney, she testified as follows: "She came into the room and she began to talk. I asked her to have a seat and she sat down and began to talk and she said Arthur sent her out there to tell me not to be sending him any more messages. I said: "I haven't sent any messages." She said: "Well, I just want to let you know if you have you better stop, because I am Amherst's lawful married wife." And she said, "If I ever catch you and Arthur together I am going to kill both of you; I am going to put an end to you." And then she went on and told me about different girls she had beat up about him." Mr. Ewart Phillips of 1502 E. 9th St. testified that he was hired by Mrs. Truitt, aunt of the defcendant, to drive them about in the aunt's machine on the day of the killing and that he drove them to the Santa Fe Station where Miss Smith self bim in to enquire what time the train left for Arizona and to the Southern Pacific depot where they learned that the next train would not be until the following day. That they then drove south on Central Avenue where they picked up Lillian Armstrong and then on to Pico and Central where they picked up Charles Wagner and then drove to the corner of 17th and Hooper where Miss Smith and Wagner got out. Then came Lillian Armstrong of 513 Linden St., the most damaigus witness for the prosecution, for she testified that she had seen a revolver in the handbag of Miss Smith when she was over to Mrs. Truett's house in the afternoon of the killing—that they had picked her up in the machine that night and that Miss Smith had sent her up to Arthur's room to see if he was in—that she accompanied them, to 17th and Hooper—where she was led, to believe that there was a gun in the car by the words of Mrs. Truett, the defendant's aunt. The attorneys for the defense attempted to confuse the witness by exhibiting a lady's vanity case to this witness but she stated that the article to which she referred was a shopping bag. Dr. Wagner, autopsy surgeon, was next called and described the course of the five bullet wounds in the body of the deceased which he described as one entering the front of the neck and emerging in front near the right shoulder; one directly through the chest and emerging through the back; one through the hip and merging through the buttock; one through the left side which ranged upward at an angle of 45 degrees and was found in the right breast and one in the abdomen which ranged downward at an angle of 45 degrees. He stated that the first three here mentioned were not fatal but that either of the last two were probably fatal and could be the cause or death. Great stress was laid upon the manner of entrance, the directions prosecution, contending that the defendant fired upon the deceased while he was either falling or had fallen to the floor, used the blood-stained garments to show the course of the bullets. Charles Wagner, 1721 Newton St., better known throughout the trial as "Fat" was called and he testified that he got into the machine at Pico and Central and was sent by Miss Smith to the house of Jimmie Beijar to get her to come out, white she. Miss Smith waited behind a signboard. He was instructed to tell her that Arthur-Bell was waiting on the corner to see her and that the reason she did not come up to the house was because he was afraid that he was being trailed. To his credit, it is stated that Wagner did not import the message he was directed and the prosecution argument that the same testified at the preliminary examination and by stipulation, his testimony was read into the record. Skates testified that he had known Miss Smith for a little over a year and that on this particular night he was in his room reading and when he passed by the room occupied by Bell and Miss Smith that he heard "Her asking him if he was going out at that time of the night and he said yes, so I just kept on walking back to my room and sat down and read the paper." Detective Sergeant McDuff was next called to the stand and he explained the diagram of the room and its contents that he had drawn on a blackboard and also a diagram of the building, showing room 2 in which the tragedy occurred. Then argument was had over the introduction of the map on the ground that it did not represent the condition of things in the room at the time of the shooting, but at the time that officer McDuff visited the room the following day. This objection was overruled when it was connected up by the testimony of Offeee Davis from the "Flying Squadron" who made the arrest. It was in his testimony that the prosecution scored a telling point when the District Attorney asked this question, "Did you see any articles overturned or any chairs or tables overturned," and the witness answered, "The room was in a very orderly condition". The attorney, for the defense was on his feet immediately with "That is not quite an answer to your question. The answer is hardly responsive to that question," whereupon the witness later said, "They were not overturned." This witness also identified the gun used and the bullets that were found in his clothing. Officer Gruey, partner of Officer Davis, and nurse R. D. Brown then took the stand, in order, and corroborated the testimony already given. Elmer Blackstone, a strong witness for the defense, then took the stand and testified as to the lapse of time between the third and the two succeeding shots and his conversation with the defendant. He said, "I wanted to talk to her to get the gun. She says, "No" she says, "he is dressing to go to see that b..... Let him go now." He was followed on the stand by Roy Tompkins, Will Brown and Wilson Handy, all of whom testified that they heard the shots and explained the lapse of time. At this point the prosecution closed its case and Attorney Cerutti made his opening statement of defense in which he stated that he expected to show that the deceased and defendant had been living together for about six years, in spite of their differences; that she left him in the fall of 1921, and returned at the solicitation of the deceased and his friends; that he had beat her since her return; that on the day of the shooting she did not have a bag but a small vanity case; that everything was orderly until the deceased started dressing to go out on the night of the killing and that she fired in self defense as the deceased was about to strike her with a chair. Mrs. Mamie Truitt, of 819 Linden St., aunt of the denendant was the first witness called by the defense. She testified that she had known the interested parties for a long time and that Mrs. Lillian Armstrong was not there on the afternoon in question as she had stated; that Fay Smith only had a vanity case and not a shopping bag in which there was a revolver. She testified about the trips to the stations and later to 17th and Hooper. The defense then used Charles Wagner as a witness for the defense to prove that there was no gun in the car; and did the same with Ewart Phillips. Then the defendant, FAY ALMA SMITH, took the stand to testify in her own behalf. She testified that she was 27 years of age, born in Arizona, had been married and divorced; had been with Arthur Bell for nearly six years, living with him in the Imperial Valley, Sacramento, Oxnard and Los Angeles. She then produced two letters written to her while In Imperial Valley during the time last Fall when they were separated. One was from George Nunley, asking her to return. His letter was couched in the "Highest English, at one place stating—"so I am kindly and sincerely asking you to please for my sake, your saks, Arthur's sake and for the general sake of humanity and mankind come at once and take charge of the essential and binding management of myself and Arthur's house," while his opening sentence read, "No doubt you will be amazed at the strange incident receiving this missive, but however, self preservation is the first law of nature and necessity is the father, mother and cause of all effort, consequently in advising you of myself, your loving husband and all interesting friends good health and well being. Sumner I will proceed along said lines as I deem advisable becoming and necessary." She then testified to an alleged occurrence when Bell struck her when the intercepted a note addressed to him; about her going to the residence of Jimmie Sallger as had already been related; about fights had had in different places and times; and eventually got down to the date of the killing. That on this day she went down town to do some shopping and returned by her sault where she had a light lunch and got home about 9:10 or 10 o'clock. That she called off her street clothes and about 12 o'clock, fell down in a field, he then produced a white wristwatch. THE TRAIN I said, "Where on earth could you be going this time of night?" And he said it was none of my d.....d business, I was getting too d—n fly anyway, and threw a bottle from the dresser and hit me, and I fell out of bed and threw my hand up and screamed." Then later, continuing, she testified. "Then when I screamed, why, he came over and choked me and hit me on the jaw and told me to shut up my screaming. He told me to shut up my screaming, and then I was trying to avoid the blows the best I could on the bed from him, and during the time I was trying to avoid the blows in some way I got away from him and jumped over the bed, over the foot of the bed, and when I jumped over the bed he then reached for a chair to strike me, and I was frightened, because he had beaten me before with chairs" Here the prosecution objected and the last part was stricken out and the witness continued: "I jumped over the foot of the bed and he reached for a chair to strike me. It was then that I thought of the gun and started shooting—I just picked it out and started shooting. I was so excited I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know if I hit him, or what, I just kept on shooting. The witness was then turned over to the prosecution for cross examination which Mr. Hill opened up by asking about marriage. "You never had a license, a marriage license, issued, did you. You never went before any justice, police judge, superior court judge, or any other magistrate employed to perform marriage ceremonies, did you—Never went before any minister of the gospel or priest of any denomination empowered to perform a marriage ceremony?" To all of which the defendant answered in the negative. He then asked questions to show that the defendant was fully cognizant of the nature of business conducted by Bell and participated in his business and profits. His questions were interrupted by objections of the defense attorneys. He then dwelt on the trip to the house of Jimmie Seigler and scene of the murder. At this time he introduced a statement taken down by Officer McDuff in shorthand in the matron's quarters of the city jail the day after the shooting in which the defendant had gone over the scene and acts just prior and during the shooting in which she had not stated anything about being struck with a chair, or bottle. He read from his statement I will ask you if Officer McDuff didn't ask you this question, and if you didn't make the following answer, in that same conversation, page 91, question. "Then he really only struck you once, did he not, last night? A—That was the only chance he got to hit me. He hit at me once and I dodged the blow, and then grabbed the gun out of the dresser. Wasn't that question asked you, and didn't you answer as I have read?" The defendant fenced her reply, "I don't remember." Other wftnesses in the persons of Mrs. Elizabeth Hall, Mrs. Aimel Thompson, Mrs. Rita Copeland, Mr. Hill Truitt, Mr. J. W. Rodgers and patrolman A. A. Watson were introduced to show the belligerent nature of the deceased. Then came the surprise of the trial, for the defense, when Detective Sergeant McDuff was recalled to the stand in rebuttal and produced a piece of flooring taken from the murder room and leaden bullet found beneath. This piece of flooring showed that the bullet that penetrated it could not have been fired from where the defendant had satisfied that she was standing, to-wit, near the dresser. In this manner the prosecution was able to account for four of the bullets. This reporter learned that one of the bullets, the missing one, was the one that was found by a lady in the passageway the morning following the shooting, but this information came too late to be of use in the trial. At the close of the day's session the attorneys for the defense asked time to make an examination of the premises and left for the scene. While they were going up the stairs, up came Detective Seragant Kimbrough always on the job. The following day the associate attorney, Mr. Willis took the stand and allusion to the removed board was carefully avoided. The case went to the jury after a ten days' trial, marked by the stubbornness with which both sides fought the every sordidness and grudged which was more difficult.

To Whom It May Concern; In these days when high-sounding words are prone to be confused with honest motives, voters should thoughtfully pause before casting their ballots for candidates to public office. A ballot is more than an expression of opinion of the voter—it is a responsibility on which the principles of this Nation are founded. Thus, at this time, we the undersigned earnestly recommend to our people Judge Victor R. McLucas, a man whose friendship for us is unquestioned, a man whose honesty, integrity and public record make him a logical candidate for election as a Judge of the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles.

COOK ISSUES MASONIC MESSAGE WOULD SET ALL CLANDESTINE BODIES MASONICALLY RIGHT It becomes my duty as Grand Master of Masons of the Most Worshipful Alpha Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. M. for the Jurisdiction of California, to set aright the many opinions now held by members of the Craft and other reputable citizens as to the origin, effects and operation of Freemasonry among colored men in the State of California in particular and throughout the world generally, especially when and where these opinions are contrary to established truths and boar no relation either direct or indirect, on twenty-five landmarks to the Craft Freemasonry, of Ancient We would not cast a single aspose or if that nobility of purfeeling that intensity of brotherly to be which impels men to aspire to real Masons. Rather do we pinchize with these men in their efforts to be of service to their fellow-men. We esteem far higher their burning desire to render that service, the strenuous efforts put forth to carry that desire into effect which actuates men possessed with noble purposes and beliefs, than the efforts of those who willfully continue in the wrong direction. In the matter of presenting to the members of the Craft and the public at large the true facts concerning the base and operation of Masonic Rites, we go cheerfully forth in the discharge of our duty. All we ask is that you withhold your judgment until the facts shall have been fully stated, for we are here to correct, govern, harmonize and adjust any and all differences existing between fellow members of the Craft. Persuant to this task, we shall beg no question, shirk no responsibility dodge no issue, and where our conclusions run counter to the prejudices of the so-called and self-styled Masons, we will leave it to the Supreme Architect of the Universe to amend. There can be but one legal organization of Masons in the world, of Ancient-Craft Masonry. Granted. Then every other body of Masons must proceed from, originate in that duly authorized and lawfully constituted body. Any other organization that goes beyond the power and sovereignty of this first and great body of Legalized Masons, the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, gr seeks to adopt a Masonic procedure without the advice or consent. the patent, power and authority granted by this body, is not, was not, cannot be now or ever a reputable and accepted body of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, or hold a Martial of Constitution. The granting of Masonic rights and immunities to the people of North America did not include power and authority to exclude a man because of race, color, creed, or class, except such as may be considered unworthy and dis-qualified. However, such exclusion did exist, and the men of the Colored race sought to secure for themselves the rights and privileges to practice Freemasonry. They applied to one of the Grand Lodges of England, that existed at that time, and secured a Warrant of Constitution, (just one) and after organizing a lodge, known as African Lodge No. 459, at Boston, Mass, which was to work in Boston, only; they in turn organized a Grand Lodge out of one subordinate lodge, and from thence spread the so-called Free and Accepted Masons (Colored who so often in their literature used) Prince-Hall and African Lodge laud For many years that in Masonry, sought Masonic recognition, organization white Masonic Recognition from the country and European Lodge of this rica but to Europe, Asia and Africa advanced that no avail. Being conno whore Masonic recognition was present to be found by them, they met on the 18th day of June, 1827 and issued the following protocol in which they said: "We publically declare ourselves free and independent o any lodge, from this day, and we will not be tributary or governed by any lodge, but that of our own." (See history of Masonry, by Thromburgh, page 169.) So no comment is necessary to show their Masonic standing, and if there is one phrase in writing, other than their own, that will show their not having ever at any time been healed and Masonically legalized, the public has been kept in ignorance of the fact. In the year 1847, John T. Hilton, of Massachusetts, called a convention of Prince-Hall Masons, in Boston, Massachusetts, at which time and place they gave birth and rise to the organization known as "FREE ACCEPTED ANCIENT YORK MASONS" of North America. This organization exists in many parts of the United States today among Colored men. So far as a Master Mason is concerned the word "York" is a misnerer and this band of people is placed in the same, if not worse predicament, than their predecessors. We note that the records show some of the relics preserved by a certain Magnetic Craft in Michigan, also that a Charter from the National Grand Lodge, F. A. A. Y. M., is honored and revered. There, was another organization here that called itself "Ancient Free and Accepted Masons," having made its debut before the spotlight of public opinion in the years of 1901-1902, but being unable to produce the proper implements for self-protection or Masonic vouchers from some regular Masonic craft, known throughout the world, was forced to collapse under the fire of public sentiment. We admit, and grant, that these societies referred to have the right to exist, operate and develop, but when they go out of the way to misrepresent and malign us, the Most Worshipful Alpha- Grand Lodge. ANCIENT, FREE, AND ACCEPTED MASONS of the State of California, it is quite natural that we would let the public know the facts. Yeah! If we hold our peace the rocks in the mountains would cry out. Knowing as we do, that these statements will fall into the hands of friends and foes, and that some will attempt to ridicule, while others will dissuade the course we have taken, still we declare that all is in the interest of the public good. Unanswered yet. The fact is that Prince-Hall, Boston Smith, Thomas Sanderson and their associates were made Master Masons in a white lodge of Masons, and that this white lodge was connected with General Gage's Military Regiment, and that this Military Regiment was at Boston, Mass. March a 6th, 1775, and that this Military Regiment or Masonic Lodge was claimed to be connected with General Gage's Military Regiment holds its charter of power and authority from the Grand Lodge of England of which the Grand Lodge of England positively states in plain language that it cannot be misunderstood, that it had no Grand Lodge or travelling Lodge connected with General Gage's Regiment. The fact is that history shows that General Gaeg's Regiment had been returned to England a year and a half before this time. In face of the foregoing, how can any rational being accept and defend a lodge of Masonry that claims a history that never existed and avers that it holds Patent, Power and Authority all of which have never been acquired in whole or in part? Masonic History Approaches the West The records show that the first lodges in Texas were organized by Captain W. D. Matthews, Grand Master of the King Solomon Compact Grand Lodge, of Kansas, on April 10th, 1873, by organizing Mount Bonnel Lodge No. 14 at Austin, No. 2, San Antoine, No. 3, Houston, No. 4, at Galveston, on the 19th of August, 1875. These four lodges met at Brenham and organized a Compact Grand Lodge, with N. W. Cuney as Grand Master, and J. J. Hamilton as Grand Secretary. Some years after, about 1885, (the record is not clear) C. C. Dean, Grand Master, Rev. A. Grant, W. D. G. M. called a special session of the Grand Lodge, elected delegates to go to Houston, Texas as special commissioners to meet the Worshipful Grand Lodge of white Masons for the purpose of being healed and chartered. Now according to the record found in Sayles Masonic Jurisprudence, on the history of the Negro Masonry in Texas, emphatically states that these Negro delegates did appear and did present to the white Grand Lodge a petition to be healed and chartered. Sayles does not give the names of the petitioners. The petition sets forth that there were six hundred and fifty members at that time to be healed. The record shows that the white Grand Lodge appointed a committee to investigate the petition and the record further shows that the committee made the following report: Committee Reports on Negro Masonry in Texas "We, your committee, find that the 650 so-called Negro Masons are not Masons and have no business with us, nor about us, neither of us. If Ephriam is pointed to his idol let him alone." Now the record further shows that this Grand Lodge has sent delegates to the General Masonic Congress on several occasions and these delegates were rejected. On July 20th, 1915, the United Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. Masons, of England, issued a Masonic Credential of Affiliation and recognition to ILL. C. L. Mitchell, 33 degree, M. W. Grand Master of Masons, of the State of Texas and its Masonic Jurisdiction, which carries with it power and authority to heal and Masonically legalize Masons, Lodges and Grand Lodges. In the oblitation of the Most Worshipful Alpha Grand Lodge A. F. and A. M., of the State of California, and its Masonic Jurisdiction, the above authority was duly exercised. A certified copy of Masonic Credentials is on file in this office. This is the only lawful and regular Masonic authority among Colored Masons in the State of California. The Most Worshipful Alpha Grand Lodge, Jurisdiction of California, was organized June 28th, 1922, out of three lodges of Master Masons, halting warrants of Constitutions from the M. W. King Solomon Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. of Texas, of the Masonic Jurisdiction and was incorporated under the laws of the State of California, July 21, 1922. ILL. W. P. Cook, 33 Deputy Sovereign Commander A. A. Scottish Rite Masons, of the Southern and Western Jurisdictions, United States, its Territories and Dependencies Organized at Washington, D. C. April 5ht, 1869. Fall and winter activities of the Y. M. C. A. have begun with a very extensive program for the year. Already the HI-Y club, an organization of high school boys, has begun its work. There have been three meetings and at each of these the boys met in large numbers. Elections were held on last Friday evening when the following were elected officers for the year; Leroy Johnson, President; Charles Digsg, Vice-President; Charles Matthews, Secretary; C. Carter, Treasurer; Clarence Patton, Librarian; Lango Dye, Critic; Wm Narcisse, Reporter; and Wallace Markham, Chaplain. The installation of these officers has already taken place. On October 20 the HI-Y will be the guests at a banquet at the Y. M. C. A. Secretary Green declared that the members look most promising and will be bearded from in the future. The "Out in the World" Club meet on last Wednesday evening to discuss plans for the future. This is an organization of high school graduates and young men out in the business and professional world. Much interest as well as competition may be expected from this group. be expected to be the younger boys from 9 to 12 and from 13 to 15 also have clubs respectively. The former the "Midgets" and the latter the "Live-Y-ers." Under direction of Mr. Herman, some of these boys have an entertainment on Monday, October 9 for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. piano fund, "Sunshine Sammy Morrison leading them. The affair was very successful. From time to time interesting and constructive lectures and talks will be given by men prominent in their work. Worth while books, newspapers, pamphlets, slides, and many other things of an educational nature will always be on hand and up-to-date. A class in Salesmanship, conducted by a specialist, also employed at Central Branch will be another feature of our educational work. Those who contemplate going into business of any kind will be benefitted by this class, as many phases will be touched. Religious activities, will help give the men and boys that full development which is so necessary for real menhood. With the completion of a handball court and new equipment in the gymnasium, our physical program will be more interesting. Basketball and volleyball leagues will be organized, a handball tournament will be another feature this year. Instruction in wrestling will be given by Officer Kimbrough, and bids fair to hold the attention of many. More than this the Y. M. C. will organize a tennis team and stage a tournament in the spring for all branches throughout the city. A big track meet as a climax to all others will also be held especially for the boys. Our weekly program follows: Monday, Men's Bible Class and Gym; Tuesday, boys 9-12 and Gym; Wednesday, "Out in the World" club and Gym; Thursday, boys 13-15 and Gym; Friday, "Y" Notchers; Saturday, Round Table World Problems.

B is the supplementary to the primary agencies of society (Gine, Church, School) we propose to develop symmetrical, efficient, Christian men and boys for the purpose of the promotion of Christ's Kingdom." Such is the objective of the Association. With a corps of enthusiastic coworkers, the executive and boys work secretaries hope to accomplish much with and for the men and boys of the community. ANY ONE KNOW HIM? Tuesday afternoon a young boy, dirty, unkept and forlorn, dropped into the Eagle office and asked for a job. "Have you ever worked in a print shop?" he was asked. "No maam" was the reply. "No, we haven't an opening for you at the present time." The chap then asked if he could borrow thirty or forty cents saying that he had had no supper or breakfast. "Where is your home boy?" he was asked. "I come from the Imperial Valley." Why are you here? "I became because there are no good schools in the valley." "Was there no provision made for your coming?" "My father sent me to live with my sister, Mrs. Odessa Peavey, who was supposed to live somewhere on fifteenth near Hooper but I can't find her." It appeared that young Bartley as he gave his name—William Bartley came Mohday night over the S. P. looked for his sister and brother in-law Arthur Peavey without avail and then went to a hotel somewhere on Central avenue. Being questioned for the name of the hotel in which he was staying it developed that he didn't know. But on being given a piece of money he promised to return and give the same. Collarless, uncombed, his eyes lacking in the clearness that belongs to youth he shuffled along nor appeared again. Is his story true? If not what is a lead in his teens doing loose and uncared for in a place such as this and along the avenue. WANTED: Twelve (12) Smart Saleswomen to handle Perfumery and Toilet Articles.

Of course we real- ize that cleanliness in politics is of great moment and our chief concern in_politics is to keep the crooks in their places. But getting back to industry, thrift and business, this phase is the solution of all the prob- lems which confront us and f¢r that reason we must eschew the small, trivial things which we engage in from time to time and center our forces on the in- dustrial and business sides of effort. What are we doing in the realm of industry?” This is a’ question which should at- tract our undivided attention and if upon investigation we fall short in making a showing along this line of effort we should not hesitate to get busy and get in on industry even to| a greater degree than we make | the effort to get in on politics. Then along the line of business we should ever strive to keep in the front ranks in our ef- forts to succeed. The race needs to make the greater ef- fort because we are the farth- erest behind, in fact we were the last ones to start. Let's line up and keep tuned up on all the various lines of business. ‘WAY OFF ON CIRCULATION Te newest newspaper combi- ‘nation starts out with plenty of jmerve, when with , audacity it ¢laims to have the greatest cir- ‘enlation than any other race journal in the United States ex- cepting the Defender. When as a matter of fact all Negro wewspapers refrain from cir- culation figures except to ad- Yertisers, for the reason that none of them have anything like they should have and to keep from showing tipthe race the papers generally Soft pedal circulation. However, no pap- er has yet been established which can qualify on bona fide subscription without at least 3 to 5 years existence. For who inowes past a paper will carry its subscription list the second year of its existence. Outside of all this there are at least a ‘score of papers west of Chicago which peptic greater circula- tion than alf-of the Negro pap- ers west of the Mississippi the Eagle ranks Way out in front and would not'dare to make “such misstatements: of facts, to do so makes the one who is guilty of this perversion of the truth look silly. SENATOR Ee. ~_ Years ago. whéh standing in ‘the office of Senator. Samuel Shortridge in the Chronicle Building in San Francisco, he pounded his desk* with~ his linched fist as he Tead of the horrors of lynching -and ‘the mistreatment generally vot the ec and said; “If Foan ever ‘Teach the aa ee a (will stand on the ftoors there- Sf and with all my power ad- ‘yoeate justice for this people.” _.

Black leaders why not emu- late this trait in our white brother? If you should you would get somewhere, and too it. would. be much , pleasanter than the continued battle and strife which is the barrier in the path of real progress. OUR CONFEREES ARE | THE PEOPLE. The Eagle may not be in on some of the high brow con- ferences, but we are always in on the conferences with the plain, common, everyday peo- ple and these are the ones whom’ we feel honored to serve, | The regular Republican tick: et, headed by Friend Richard- son and Hiram W. Johnson ha: ie unqualified support of this japer. We shall not whine around for a hand out for our service, we will contribute just the same as any other average Republican for the success of the party al the polls in Nov- ember. 7 No imposing parddes cr en- dorsement of prominent citiz- ens to testify to our worth will be engaged {9 sWoop down on rolitical manager's to tell them who we are. On the contrary if they ever get a line on us it will be through our merit and demonstration cf being worth while. Another killing on Hooper near 22nd St, makes us pause and look’ around again for the cause which makes us some- times believe some of the many untoward things which we hear relative to a screw being loose in some of the machinery, our investigators are busy however and will in due time give to us a true report. ® There seems to be a multi- plicity of heoch venders and bootleggers at every turn. We predict ‘that at no far distant date the people will call for a déliverance from. this condi- tion. Strong or weak the Soaring Eagle deals not im words. of self-conceit, but gives at all times.a practical demonstration of real service to the race.

Duncan In a special interview for the Eagle Wednesday, George Himman, D. D., Pacific District Secretary American Missionary Association, declared that never had there been a time in the history of our country, more important than at the present time for educated men and women throughout the South. Mr. Himman informed me of the conditions there and the great work that the white missionary societies are doing for the benefit of educating of the Negro race in the Southern belt. Many northern Negroes do not know of the noble work the American Missionary Association is doing for our Southern brothers. The American Missionary Society was organized seventy-five years ago for the deporting of Negro slaves to Africa so that they might become a free people. Ever since then the society has been diing great work for the improvement of our conditions. They have founded many schools in various sections of the South, and have established many congregations and churches. He also informed me of the great work Fisk, Hampden and Tuskegee are doing toward educating teh race. in various parts of the south are somewhat different. In West Virginia and Tennessee, the Negroes are making a great stride in progress, they have established large financial institutions and opportunity awaits every one; while on the other hand, conditions in some sections of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi are in the same stage as they were when slavery reigned. "What can remedy these conditions?" I then asked him. "The reply," was that they needed every educated Negro aid, in teaching them the word of God and education. It is not necessary for the missionary to go to Africa to seek the ignorant, but send them to our own country first. Both white and black races in these parts are fifty years behind times. Taking into consideration, the chances our Race has had with others, they have progressed more than any other race in a short time during the history of the world. THE CALIFORNIA CITIZENS CIVIC LEAGUE TAKES DEFINITE STAND FOR THE CHIROPRACTIC INITIATIVE. VOTE "YES" ON THE PROPOSED CHIROPRACTIC ACT—NO. 16. After careful consideration The California Citizens Civic League favors the adoption of the Chiropractic Initiative. On November the seventh this proposition will be submitted to the voters. We urge you vote "yes," not in defense of the measure alone, but that this expression may be taken as the conscientious affirmation of your belief in the spirits of justice and fair play. This organization holds that chiropractors should be allowed to serve and unserve the better interests of humanity. In this they become the natural competitions of those whose viewpoints are at variance, whose schools and systems for the alleviation of human suffering differ according to the application, operation and treatment of diseases. safe enough to constitute a natural monopoly. Humanity gives to each his right. We are guided by reason and common sense in our insistence that there is more than one system of therepeutics known to and preferred by intelligent people. They have the right to choose whichever system they prefer. The Medical profession would have us believe that they are a divinely authorized cless, whose sacred function is the protection of the people, either with or without their consent. It is difficult for us to understand on what grounds such an irrational belief can rest. Why should M. D's aspire to be the courts of last appeal? Is it their special province to dictate the terms of public health, public legislation? H. DOUGLAS GREER Pres. R. G: LAMAR SECT.

MIDDLEBROOK & MIDDLEBROOK MISS MINNIE ALBRITTON'S WORK IN THE EAST. So many people inquire from day to day about this young lady's work, that to appease the general curiosity and interest, the following extract from one of her letters home and also a clipping from a newspaper in Boston are submitted. She writes, "I am simply leading a bee's life in business, I mean business. I am busy up to my neck and so don't have much time to write but am always thankful to have a letter from home." Just what she is doing besides her studying and teaching is best told in the clipping which follows and also in the fifteen questions that constitute the examination to the Union Baptist Church Choir of which she is directress. From the Boston Guardian, Sept. 1922: A WORK WORTH MENTION LET us for a few minutes look in upon the work of one of our young women; a work worth mentioning; a work that has long been needed in our Colored church, but who had the courage to undertake such a big thing, for it is indeed a big job, and calls for sacrifice and a great deal of it. But we find one that is willing to sacrifice and put all of her better self into it. And the person is no other than Miss Minnie M. Albrighton. You will find her now rolling up her sleeves and going right at it. The work that we speak of is the getting ready of a trained and paid choir. This is happening at the Union Baptist church, Cambridge. Look in upon this work in about two months, and see what it amounts to. We admit that it is quite an undertaking for a young woman, but let us watch and pray for her success, not criticise and chatter. Miss Albritton has proven her ability in the eight months that she has been directress of this now splendid choir. How well we remember the matchless Good Friday Night Cantata, "Gethsemane to Golgotha." Of course she has had the most efficient help of one of the best organists in the state, Mrs. M. Hamilton, and the splendid help of Mrs. R. Evans, pianist. But they are getting ready for something big with these sweet, well-trained singers. Let us all watch. The choir will not appear for a month or more yet. I learn that each singer is or will be capable of taking a solo at any time. Some of the best voices in Greater Boston will assist in this work. You are invited to drop in some Wednesday evening and see just what they are doing. Knowing the keynote means a great deal. I learn that this is examination week, each person upon entering has to go through an examination. All parts of the work will be open for inspection near the first of November. Quarters are being used until this work is really ready, then let us all be there to hear them on their first appearance. Let us not forget the splendid Junior Choir of about 25 voices. Such sweet, obedient singers. Of course their work is good. TIME 4:00 Mr. Sanford the assistant director for the Pierson Producing Company, at present is a very busy man helping Mr. Pierson handle the publicity of "Chuckes" Oct. 30th at the Phi-fharmonic Auditorium. Mr. Sanford and Mr. Pierson have been associated together for years. Boys together they used to stage shows for the neighborhood children. Admission two pins. During the last war Mr. Pierson and Mr. Sanford were separated, one going into the infantry and one in the navy. When Mr. Pierson returned to Los Angeles to start in the producer field Mr. Sanford was the first one to give hands with him. Now their boyhood dream is working out in the Premier Production of "Chuckles." THE MISSING MEN WERE REPORTED TO BE RECOVERED FROM THE MISSING MEN Miss Alvena Caldwell whom Mr. Pierson predicts as the coming star of musical comedy will be seen in "Chuckles" Get 30th. Owing to the sudden illness of one of the chorus members during the last production Miss Caldwell within twenty four hours learned the steps and songs and appeared with the company without a rehearsal. So impressed with her work Mr. Pierson engaged her and she is now a member of the Pierson Producing Company. She will even rival the soubettes of the Eastern Star. MUSIC CRITICISM Fifth Series Criticism is not fault-finding, but simply appraisement. It involves appreciation as well as censure, and is in fact, justified only as it makes appreciation keener and more discriminating. So far as criticism deals with with the shadows, it aims simply to afford a contrast with the high lights, and so to give its object the solidity and reality of life. If a human being without a fault is a bore, then a work of art without a fault is flat and tasteless. Its faults give it its "hallmark" of actuality and the discrimination of them sharpens our perception of it and enables us truly to possess and comprehend it. Criticism therefore is not, as it is so often misconceived to be, fault-finding. It is the disentanglement of the good from the bad, the strong from the weak, the vital from the conventional. In short, as the derivation from the Greek word indicates, it is separation. As to the subject matter of criticism, or the kind of works that we should criticise, it seems to me that in the present stage of our musical development, we should lay more stress than we do on our classical masterpieces and less upon our contemporary productions. Such study for one thing would give a few general standards and fundamental distinctions that we now lack. To mention two o rthree would make us keenly aware of the difference between dramatic and pure musi ic. It would illuminate for us that dark and much debated problem of form, by showing us that while the concrete forms (in the plural) such as Suite, Sonaka and Symphony, are but special application of a principle. Therefore transitory form (in the singular) is as essential to music as reason is to language or as shape is to material objects. It would also clarify our understanding of Musical History by teaching us to study each of the masters works from two separate points of view. First from that of his technical inheritance and achievements as a musician, and secondly from that of his historic environment. A well founded musical criticism should make us appreciate all of these distinctions and many more. Therefore let us sow good seed as often and as plentifully as we can, resting assured that in the allotted time and in the rightful place, the fruit will be found. Let us not defend it, and with patience and love, withstand any criticisms. Thus by gaining in strength of character, we become teachers in the true sense of the word KATIE M. TEAT.
