California Eagle

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Calls Calif. Baptist Leader's Hand BARTOW DUNCAN AND MARSHALL CLOYD IN JOINT RECITAL, THURS., DEC.14-Y.M.C.A.AUDITORIUM, PASADENA, CALIF. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH SUPER- INTENDENT OF NEGO WORK? Volume Thirty-Six Since March 12, 1912 when, without any previous experience or encouragement, I started single handed to perpetuate and memorize the principles upon which the "Eagle" was founded by Editor J. J. Nelmore in the year 1879. I have never had but one intention, and that was to contribute whatever I may to the development of my people in this community, hence it has never been necessary for me to hide my hand or use someone in my employ as a cat's paw in order to criticise some person or proposition I did not believe in. In fact I believe in freedom of speech all the way—so long as that speech does not impel the life or liberty of others or the government in which we live. Perhaps the reason why the Germans were so thoroughly hated during the World War does not impel the life or country, and the countries of the allied nations against whom they were waging war. Now, the point I am getting to is this—In the October 11, issue of the San Diego Eagle which I own, and edit there appeared this article: "WHITE BAPTISTS SEND A BLACK MISSIONARY TO WORK AMONG THE BAGE IN CALIFORNIA. By: Ira Smith "The following article by Kelly Miller of Howard University is timely and should receive careful consideration by th race throughout the country. A striking example of what Mr. Miller says in his article is brought to our mind by the action of the Negro Baptist leaders in California. A vigorous campaign was staged recently claiming that the National Baptist convention would convene in the City of Los Angeles during the month of September but by some political manipulation the meeting was called off. However every white man and organization in and around Los Angeles was begged for money with which to defray the expuse of the gathering and now the promoters of the affair are coming forward with unpaid claims of something like three or four thousand dollars. The Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles is perplexed by the heaviest hit by the highenders and they agree to pay $1000, of said indebtedness. The balance of course will be collected by brass colored missionaries who will traverse the state begging and panhandling wash women and fleeing small churches. "It has always been a mystery to this writer since landing in the Golden West why a Superintendent of Negro Work or Missionary should be sent out by the white Baptists to spy on Negroes and report his findings to them. Mr. Miller has truly said that it makes us a race of beggers and the Negro Baptists of California or any other state should frown down on the idea of having some Negro standing at the door of the white man shedding crocodile tears for the crumbs that fall from his table. The Baptist Church is too great an organization to thus seek alms from the white man and we believe that as soon as their eyes become open to what is going on that they will not only condemn but will give the white man to understand that they do not need such an individual and that they are men and women with sufficient pride to conduct and finance their own." "LEST WE FORGET By: Kelly Miller "Ethiopia is in the habit of stretching forth her hand unto the white god even where there is no need for it. If he should assiduously cultivate his own vine and fig tree, they would yield him sufficient sustenance without continuous beggary. A race of beggers sacrifices its own self-respect and forfeits the respect of others. Of all of the evil effects of slavery, there is none more baleef than this. It unmany and un-American. Execution of a tip is a subordination of manhood. Begging is often as good as to such lines of service as to have his stipulated wages supplemented by the white man's tips. Every tip taken lowers the manhood of the taker. The giver is often actuated by this motive. A tip to an able-bodied man is a studied insult. It is reported that the Negro Baptists have solicited a gift to install a theological seminary at Nashville, Tennessee. This is a case of unnecessary philanthropy. There are three million members in the wing of the Baptist church. A contribution of twenty-billion dollars a member would abundantly endow the institution in question. Those same Baptist brethren are to hold their annual convention in Los Angeles, California. The average ex- pense per delegate will amount to over $200,000. There will be a minimum of a thousand delegates. Here is a sum of two hundred thousand dollars, gathered from the general membership of the church for a pleasurable excursion across the continent. For these luxurious excursionists to pass the hat to the white Baptists, for a contribution of $50,000 to help the poor, benighted Negro, requires a degree of audacity that is amazing indeed. "Those that are strong ought, to bear the infirmities of the weak. The white race has the mass of wealth and ought to be appealed to for all needy causes that cannot be promoted without outside assistance. "The war has standardized labor. The workman is worthy of his hire according to the character and efficiency of his work. The Negro, in all of the great lines of industry, is receiving like grade as white men for the same grade and degree of work that is true that he still labors under many industrial disabilities. The Negro who works with his hands is about as well compensated as the white man of like occupation. The old assumption that every white man is rich and every Negro poor has long since been exploded. It is true that most Negroes are poor, but most white men are poor also. The rich and the well to do are comparatively few when measured against the great masses of the people. "The old notion was that the Negro's three centuries of unrequited toll lays the white race under an everlasting touch of alms to be collected from the first white man met with. This debt has long since been repudiated. The portion of the white race that owes it has neither the ability or the disposition to honor the debt. "Let the Negro build up on his own basis—self-reliance is the one virtue needed. "A single Negro Baptist congregation builds a church edifice costing $3,000,000. Three million Negro Baptists beg the white race for $50,000 to build a school for the race. The inconsistency is grotesque. The race must as rapidly as possible throw aside the crutches of dependence. He who leans unnecessarily upon shelter will never learn to walk alone. Tho Negro man's wings and a place in the sun at the same time. Needless philanthropy perpetuates the Negro's inferior status. After all, it is about as easy to earn a dollar as it is to beg one, and a great deal more manly. Nobody respects a generation of beggars." The San Diego Eagle is managed and handled almost entirely by Dr. Ira Snyder, his great little wife, Mr Edna Grassi Smith, both of Topaka, Kansas and the Topeka Plaindealer—Mr. Smith having served on the staff of the Plaindealer for upwards of twenty years and is considered, in the Middle West a very clever newspaperman. It seems that after reading this article which was written by Kelly Miller of Howard University, and commented upon by Ira Smith in the San Diego Eagle, Dr. W. R. Carter, who is Superintendent of Negro Education in California and, because of the fact that he is a Baptist, always had my support as a fellow Churchman has taken exception to said article, and with the paper carefully in his pocket appeared at the Church of which I am a member, and before the opening of the service produced said San Diego Eagle containing this article and announced to those present that as a matter of fact Ira Smith was used as a cat's paw, that the author of the article was none other than the owner of the paper who was supposed to be one of the church, but who through this medium was fighting the cause. Now, as a matter of fact Dr. Carter has come amply into my office without showing any signs of malice when as Superintendent of Negro Education in and for the Baptist. Church preacher of the gospel and an president of one of Kansas' reputable Negro Institutions would not he have discharged his duty as a Christian and an Educator to have come to me with the light of Salvation for I would have to be a hypocrite of the meanest type to attempt to reach an end through such means. If Dr. Carter had asked my opinion of said article I would have gladly expressed myself concerning the same. However, I will say here, and now, that I have no respect for the hat in hand Negro whether he be preacher or layman, but I have no criticism to offer against alliance between LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, DECEMBER 2, 1922 whites and blacks for the religious, educational development of any group or all groups for I am a would-be student of race adjustment. While I agree with Mr. Miller the author of the article and Mr. Smith, who wrote the comment in part, and respect both gentlemen for their frank criticism I feel free, and sincere in stating that I agree with neither all the way, and have no reason to be ashamed of the fact that I am a colored American, a member of the Baptist Church, and the owner of two "Eagles" sometimes, however, called Buzzards. Nevertheless, even though Dr. Carter has more occasion which I have already mentioned told my follow communicants that the California Eagle was not to be considered as a newspaper. I wish at this time to tell him that his words are wasted, as far as serving to discourage an effort that has been fraught with sacrifices, discouragements, and obstacles too numerous and varied to mention. It has never been my desire to ascend any heights or reach any goal at the expense of others. Nor do I believe that any business can or will succeed if God is not in the plan, hence I have no fear. Within twelve years I have with the assistance of those who believe in me and have linked their destinies with mine for better or worse; developed a printing plant that is said to be the largest and best equipped in the state. I am paying six men and women alike equal the salaries paid by white shops; and aside from this two other persons are making their living on a commission basis on the Eagle. If after a twelve years stay Dr. Carter can make a similar contribution to his group if I am still on the stage of action I shall sing his praise from the house tops, and if I have passed on I'll hear and now commission those who shall take the reins after me to do likewise. — By C. A. SPEAR. By J. W. Wheaton POLITICS To the student of political affairs in the United States, the recent elections have an incongruous aspect. As far as party names are concerned, it is hard to define just where they are. Republican begins and Democrat ends. It was stated some days ago in all three chambers that a man best, had become a fetish, and that the intelligent voter was casting his vote for the man and measure which he deemed best for the progress and prosperity of the nation. To cast a look at the policies of the men who were elected at the election just passed, it would be hard indeed to classify some of them with the policies of either major party. For instance, if Senator Lodge of Massachusetts represents the Republican party, how on earth can you class Senator La Follette of Wisconsin as one? Their policies and endeavors are as remote as the poles. And then if Smoot of Utah is a Republican, then Senator elect Shepherd is not. And what about Pepper and Brookkhart? Party lines are rapidly becoming erased, and while we believe that they are essential to the form of government established by the United States we believe that the difference between the two major parties is so negligible that it will take a new alignment to decisively great new issues. We elect men to positions of political preferment by the use of the party machinery, but we also expect them to use the office for the godd of the people as a whole. THAT DYER ANTI-LYNCHING MEASURE It comes from good authority, that the Bill to make by lynching a Federal crime, will not be made one of the special measures for the extra term of Congress called by the President. The Ship, Subsidy will take up the greater portion of the present legislative time, and if it is passed over for the consideration of the incoming Congress, it, with the Liberian loan, is doomed to defeat. What, with the ponderous majority of the Republican party in the present Congress reduced to a handful, we can see the handwriting on the wall. On or about two months prior to the election of "24" it may be called from some neglected pigeon hole and placed in play for the edification of the cooped brother in the section reserved for the great national game of political foxhole. Do you yes! He will fall for it: the shrewed leaders of the party understand that. One would believe that the United States would, if for no other reason than that of cleaning her skirts from the hideous charge of barbarian, enact a law that would give protection to all of its citizens. Although the colored brother has made the auti- THE PINK SECTION lynching fight peculiarly his own, there is nothing in the measure which designates him. It is a measure to prevent the unlawful taking of the life of any national by mob violence, and the penalty. Perhaps in time America will learn that she is living in a celluloid house and that it is a dangerous thing to keep therein a lighted torch. MEXICO AND TEXAS President Obregon of Mexico protested against the treatment, or alleged treatment, of Mexican nationals in some of the Texas districts. Quite a voluminous correspondence ensued, with the result that the Governor of Texas is awoke to the fact of Mexico that the rights of her nationals would be fully protected from any violence whatever. It is pleasing to learn that the Governor of Texas has awoke to the fact that the State can protect some one. It has been a long time learning that fact, and we do not believe that it has, as yet thoroughly learned, from the fact that we have not heard him say that the State could, and would protect the thousands of her black citizens from the rapacious mob. LITTLE COMMENTS The man who is so deadly right that he is sure everyone else is dead wrong is a very dangerous individual. Those who can, Do: Those who can not, Critialize. The constructionist is one that tries, although the trial is a failure. The obstructionist is the fellow who objects, but offers no tangible thing for his objection. The old Republican ship, which Frederick Douglas referred to as the Ark of Refuge for the Colored voter, has, without doubt, lost her rudder, sails, and other means of propulsion, and is drifting. The Negro has won his place in this nation of many races, and deserves the right existence adherent in a people who have shown themselves capable of vigorous progress, and his aim is to conserve and consolidate the position gained by strenuous, endeavor, and his loyalty to the principles of this Government. INTOLERANCE SOLVES NO PROB LEMS. WOMEN BURY THE MEN HEELS UP. INDEPENDENT CHURCH MEN ORDERED TO WEAR CREPE FOR 90 DAYS. Last Sunday after re-inforcing and strengthening their first lines the Women at the Independent Church of Chicago, with the help of their habiliments of warfare about them, advanced in solid formation against the Hindenburg line which the men had said was impregnable, but the women had brought forth near range guns and at each explosion great gaps were torn into the lines of the men and finally on last Sunday night with a mighty onrush by the women the men were annihilated. Few escaped the overpowering strength displayed by the women. P. E. Alexander was last seen walking and talking to himself. Dr. W. C. Gordon has not been seen since and Brother Murdock of "Man, God's Masterpiece," fame, took a spiritual bloom ascension to parts unknown, and that Quintet business put on by the men was made to look insidel along side of the Girl's Orchestra, which played two selections. (The Ferris Sisters) and then the Woman's Saxaphonist played so wonderfully well as to take the heart out of the men. Rev. Mrs. Mary Palmer preached the Morning sermon and Rev. Gregg has not recovered yet from the philosophical masterpiece of the woman preacher. In the evening oh yes in the evening other events took place. Mrs. Murdock graceful and tactful as Mistress of Ceremonies and with her analysis of women followed by the Managing Editor of the Soaring Eagle it was curtains for the men. And at their passing when the collection was raised and they fully discovered just how little they stood for, the women did not fall to render the last sad rites and to the tune of the funeral dirge they bore their coffin upon their shoulders and committed them from whence they came. They buried them—heels up. THIS MEANS YOU! Thursday December 7th, Stewardess Board No. 2 of the First A. M. E. Church invite you and your friends to attend a chicken dinner at the church corner of Eighth and Towne. LODGES IN JOINT SESSION The joint session of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. was held on Monday evening November 27, 1922 at Masonic Hall. A. L. Tilton, State Grand Secretary, acted as Master of cere monies. A short program was rendered by members of the order, after which the meeting was turned over to the State Grand Master, T. B. Norman and State Grand Princess, Mrs. W. L. Willingham. The object of this meeting was to submit the plans for the year's work to the presiding officers of the local and Pasadena lodges and temples. These plans as laid before the order are for a closer union between the lodges and temples and for an extensively fund to carry on the work of instituting new lodges and temples. The commission from the National Grand Master, Rev. W. H. Jamison of Peoria, Ill, appointed the State Grand Master was read. Also the greetings from the National Grand Princess. Mrs. Edmondia A. Watkins of Cairo, Ill, were read. The California Jurisdiction of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. have prospects for a most successful year, as the National Deputies have been authorized to work in the States of Oregon and Washington. A dispensation was granted by the State Grand Master for an indefinite period, so that all lodges and temples can avail themselves of the opportunity to participate in the membership drive. The slogan for the year is "Five Hundred New Members and Five Hundred Dollars for the extension fund." T. B. Norman, State Grand Master Mrs. W. L. Willingham, State Grand Princess; Mrs. Victoria P. Lewis, Asst. State Grand Secretary. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. Nov. —The thirty second Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference will be held at Tuskegee Institute, January 17 and 18. The first day will be devoted directly to the interests of the farmers and the general topic "Agriculture and Home Economics" will be discussed. Such problems as "Crop Production," "Live Stock Production," Soal Improvement, Marketing," "Food" and the "Home" will be discussed and solutions offered by men and women well versed in these directions. The second day of the Conference will be taken up with discussions of particular interest to teachers, ministers and welfare workers in the rural districts. The general subject will be: "Cooperation of Welfare Agencies in a County-wide Improvement Program." The Tuskegee Conference has been a moving factor in the advancement of agriculture in this section since its inauguration by Dr. Booker T. Washington more than thirty years ago. Each year agricultural problems are discussed, by men and women prominent in agricultural circles. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal, is urging farmers, teachers, ministers, and teachers to be interested in rural improvement to attend this Conference. The Principal speakers will be announced later. CHICAGO, ILL., *Nov. 25* —The schools in the Sooth under the auspices of the Board of Education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church made a record in giving in the recent campaign for the "I Will Maintain" fund. The campaign was to secure $2,000,000 to prevent a serious cut for the Board of Missions at home and abroad. Dr. I. Garland Penn, a corresponding secretary of the Board of Education for Negroes, announced today that in the Atlanta Area for the "I Will Maintain" fund Chaplin College paid $495, Gammon Theological Seminary $225; Cookman Institute $150, the President of Clark University $100, as a personal gift, a total for that area of $970. In the Chattanooga era Bennett College paid $425, Walden College $325, Morgan College $200; in New Orleans area Wiley College $450, Rust College $410, Central Alabama Institute $325, New Orleans Gilbert College $300, Flint Goodridge Hospital and Nurse Training School $200, a total of $2,901. St. Louis area, Philander Smith College $375, George R. Smith College $180, a total of $555; Washington area, Morgan College $300, a grand total remitted to the Committee on Conservation and Advance at Chicago from the schools of the Board of Education for Negroes of $5,675. The schools gave more than one-tenth of the entire amount given by the Negro Conference," said Dr. I. G. Penn of Cincinnati, Ohio. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 25.—Five bishops and prominent officials from all parts of the United States will attend the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Wesley Building, Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 22-24. Bishop Joseph F. Berry, Philadelphia, is president of the Board. Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, Boston, Mass., Bishop Robert E. Jones, New Orleans, La., Bishop Charles Wesley Burns, Helena, Mont.; Bishop Luther B. Wilson of New York, N. Y.; and Bishop Charles L. Mead, Denver, Colo. are among the principal speakers. Dr. William S. Bovard, corresponding secretary, Board of Sunday Schools, Chicago spoke. The report of the Joint Committee on Religious Work of Tax-Supported Schools was given by Rev. Warren F. Sheldon, New York, N. Y., and the report of the Joint Committee on Indian Work was given by Rev. Elmer E. Higley, Chicago, Ill., Superintendent of Indian Work. The secretaries of the departments of Church Extension, City Work, Rural Work, Frontier Work and Evangelism gave their reports, and the Bureau of Foreign Speaking Work, Negro Work, and Publicity was represented. "The work of the Board promotes rural prosperity, develops the missionary spirit, fosters good health conditions, promotes civic righteousness, supports better public schools, provides social recreation, cooperates with other community agencies, cultivates spiritual growth, develops right ideals, helps to make good homes, trains for social service and develops loyalty to communities." according to Dr. D. Dr. Forsyth, corresponding secretary of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension, Philadelphia. Gold Coast, Secondee, Africa, Nov. 25—The African Union Company has secured finance for shipment of 20,000 tons this season cocoa banana. They are worth at present New York price about $4,000,000. An offer has come to take over all the remaining bond issue $100,000. The company has recently secured contracts for a half million residence for the King of Benin. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25—To succeed the late Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., as president of the national Baptist Convention, one of the outstanding features of the Baptist church, who will be presented for the consideration of the convention in St. Louis, is Dr. M. U. D. Norman, of Washington, D. C. Dr. William D. Jarvis, chairman of the charge in charge of the candidacy of Dr. Norman, has stated that he feels very greatly encouraged by reports being received from all parts of the country. The committee of ministers and laymen is thoroughly acquainting the entire country with the merits of the well-known Washington minister, and state that Dr. Norman's qualifications for the most responsible place in the church, bespeak a great future for the denomination. Dr. Norman is unquestionably qualified by training and experience for this place in the church," stated one "First of all he is a christian gentleman, gentle and kindly in his manner. He is a business man and executive of capacity. The high efficiency in which he conducts the affairs of Metropolitan church show. "But there is much more. Dr. Norman has few equals as a presiding officer, and he is always able to command respect. All of the Baptists, ministers, and laymen, of this section, love him as a father. And it seems to me, the more honors he gets, the more solicitous and humble he becomes; he is never to buoy to show Christian kindness to all. "Dr. Norman is a devil. We need visit in this day. As he has been broader than the church in Washington; as head of the Baptist church, he will continue to be broader-than mere denominational lines, for he is a race man to the soul. "In meeting the big problems of the day, coth in the church and state, we need a man of strong personality, who will in every way cope with the best minds everywhere. Dr. Norman has the appeal that gets consideration." As an advocate for the reunion of the two great Baptist bodies of the country, Dr. Norman has declared himself frankly for this. There will go to St. Louis from Washington, a most enthusiastic delegation of Norman advocates. They are going early with the avowed purpose, as one puts it, of "Conducting a Christian campaign of education." I know you said it! What?

Parker rushes to Washington and tells President Harding the K. Klux is about to assume control of the Louisiana State government. Very likely, true. PETER H. (It has leaked out that Gov. Parker is more interested in the appointment of a Negro, Walter L. Cohen, Controller of the Port of New Orleans. Parker, it is said, wants this $5,000 a year job nullified and thought it of so much importance that it required no less a smoke screen than the Ku Klux Klan for him to come and see the President concerning it. This is possible. Harding promises assistance only in the event "Federal interests" are involved. Very likely, true. Were this the I. W. W. or some other organization of liberals and radicals, Federal troops would be dispatched on short order. Most likely, true. The Klan boasts of some 75 or more members in the new Congress. Very likely, true. The press reports the Klan has elected Earle B. Mayfield of Texas to th Senate and defeated Olcott of Oregon, putting in their own candidate instead. Almost likely, true. But it is predicted that Mayfield's seat will be challenged and a fight exceeding the intensity of the campaign against Newberry is expected. We hope this is true. (We hear Negroes are ready for the Klan. This certainly ought to be true.) In New York City the Klan has showed its hand. A virtual nest has been uncovered in the Calvary Baptist Church, of which the Rev. John Roach Straton, of "public moralist" fame, is minister. Rev. Oscar Haywood, the church's Evangelist minister, from North Carolina, openly admits he is the Klan's national lecturer and that he has sought its propagation in the Rev. Straton's sanctuary. Also it was discovered that the Klan held a meeting in a Harlem undertaking establishment, and that they distributed circulars among school girls asking them to help secure members. Mayor Hylan telegraphs Police Commissioner Enright, from French Lick, ind., to "treat this group of racial and religious haters as you would Rev. Bombthrower. Drive them out of the house. You discover them." We hope so. But, in passing, it is well to note that Negroes have vowed if the Klan shows itself north of 125th. St. blood will be shed. Most likely true. The Klan has been allowed to spread its hate long nough. Think of this. Alfred E. Smith, lately elected Governer of New York by a plurality of some 400,000, is a catholic. Even his friends, who think him a logical candidate for the presidency in 1924 are fearful to attempt his nomination, lest it stir religious (Klan) hatred as never before. And Smith is admittedly the idol and ideal of the sidewalks of New York." Professional politicians say he wouldn't carry a single Southern State, although Smith is solidly so for the last half century. We hold no breif for Smith or any other democrat - or any republican, for that matter-but we see something in this which proends evil for the country. And this criminal spirit won't be eradicated in any week or ten days. —but least we forget—Negroes, be ready when they come." TORONTO. Canada. Nov. 25.—Alhambra Hall was the acme of one of the most brilliant events of the season last Thursday evening. The occasion was the fifth Anniversary and Reception of Betheleh Chapter O. E. S. (popularly known as the Lady Masons). The evening was divided into three periods, each blending into a delightful finale. In the opening hour the officers and members of the lodge were the recipients of many happy returns, refreshments were served and the "get acquainted spirit was prevalent. At nine o'clock an interesting program was rendered by Misses Fannie Vick, Annabelle Duncan, vocalist; and Mr. George Bennett, violinist. Immediately following, the guests tripped the light-fantastic to the dreamy strains of Prof. Matthew's Harmony Orchestra. The Hall was tastefully decorated; and with the lighting effects and the gorgeous costumes of the guests, one seemed to be in the Orient. The committee in charge was Mesames S. O. Hastings, S. S. Jackson, C. Deas, C. Hodge, and M. Barker. PAGE-10 + |’. Af You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May, Never Know tt Happened |BES se EDITORIAL SECTION siiiernis. |. EDW.

KU KLUX PROPOGANDA HAVING ITS EFFECT--- PREJUDICE RUNS RIOT. You might not think it, but right here in fair Los Angeles, beautiful Los Angeles, in the midst of sunshine and flowers, the pernicious virus as con- tained in the propaganda of the Ku Klux Kian is having its deadly effect for prejucjce is ten times as acute at this time than it was a decade ago.- This condition which is up- on 50000 people finds them at a serious disadvantage in’ the race fo life, that the injustice of it will dethrone those who are responsible for its presence goes without saying but a gen- eration perhaps must suffer in the interim. Such a burden from without coupled with the burden of prejudice from with- in takes superhuman strength ‘to overcome.

This condition is the result of insidious propaganda unlikened only to that put forth by the Ku Klux Klan and must be overcome. VICE CURBING THE SAME. Probation officers either city or county are sorely needed in many sections of our city. Con- tributing to delinquency is prolific and with wilful aban- don. This evil should be curb- ed, it is as necessary as the ap- prehension of hold up men and robbers.

Look out boys! The little Lyno's monkey chasing blood is up. Look out monkeys! Anyway Friday night there was a free for all battle. It was safe to say that the Teuton got all that was coming to him. Bullets, no, misses, sharp and stinging flew hither and thither, the air was charged and sur- charged. Well praise be, we are all accidentally alive! T'was all over a fraction of a stick of metal. Something. happened!'. Something must have happened over Sunday, Saturday evening the Head printer was quiet and could be, didn't seem to have any bright visions of the future or joyous memories of the past. But Monday morning at the sunlit hour, of ten bells he blew in with gay haloos for everybody. He was divinely happy all morning. Everything tickeled him. Optimism burst forth from every pore in his body About noon he suddenly decided to go home. Wednesday noon he appeared again and—well he is Head Printer again. A grunt, a groan, a puff, some excitable kicking was heard. The editor was then seen hanging desperately off the big press. The box on which he had stood slipped from beneath him and his feet could not reach the floor. Help, he almost lost the remnant of the cigar out of his mouth. Help, his anatomy, some portion thereof, to threaten to be mashed in. One more desperate kick—Safe on the box again. A trim little man of affairs was a passer-by in the other day.

THIS WEEK This holiday is now observed in every state in the Union. Custom prescribes that the date shall be set by special proclamation of the President, and adds that the date shall be the last Thursday in November. The celebration has a long and curious history. Days set apart for special Thanksgiving to the Lord were known to the Israelites and are mentioned throut the Bible. The earliest record of any observance within the United States was held by the Poplam colony settled at Sagadahac, on the coast of Maine in August, 1607. Various methods are used in celebrating Thanksgiving day htrout the United States, due to climatic conditions in each state. The California celebrated in large outdoor affairs; while the New Yorkers were confined to stay at home, but all the people enjoyed the large dinner prepared for that day. There has been an inconscious unification of Christians and Thanksgiving feasts in certain material aspects. The Thanksgiving turkey has driven the Christmas goose from all tables; on the other hand the mince pie of Christmas shares the honor of completing the Thanksgiving indigestion with the pumpkin pie which once monopolized the work. CHUCKLES Chuckles the sensation of the year has closed a successful week at the Philharmonic Auditorium. William E. Pierson and Jonnie Anderson deserved much credit in their sincerity and efforts in making this the greatest race musical comedy ever produced in the West. Chuckles has done for the West what "Shuffle Along" has done for the East in proving to the people that the Negro race is fast coming into the theatrical spotlights. This musical comedy before long will takke prominent place along with other Broadway comedies that have made world-wide fame. The first performance of the comedy was staged at Gamut Auditorium which was met by approval of all who saw it. The second performance at the Philharmonic has again been received by approval, which goes to prove that this musical comedy is successful bound. Edwin Schalbet "Times" critic, states that after "Chuckles" has been tied together with a more adroit plot it will then be an acceptable show, for its novelty in its favor. AN OPPORTUNITY The Los Angeles Public Library is offering a great opportunity to high school graduates in preparing them for future library positions. They have opened a daily school for graduates in which in a year's time they will be prepared to fulfill vacant library positions that might arise. The tuition fee is one hundred and five dollars in which it entitles one to all school requirements. The term starts in September and ends in May. After completing this course a student will then be prepared to take any library position in the United States. At the present time nearly every race is attending this school, but we have not as yet any colored students in the classes. This is a great opportunity for some intelligent colored students to apply and qualify for a library position. A. L.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—A senate debate today on the recent utterances of former Premier Clemenceau of France took a sensational turn when a Negro wearing the uniform of the United States Army interrupted from the gallery a speech by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking Democrat of the foreign relations committee, regarding alleged atrocities by black French troops in Germany. Removed by Police The soldier who said he was Lucius Jones, a patient at the Mount Alto, Md., government hospital, finally was removed from the gallery by the police after his attempt to join in the debate had resulted in a sharp passage of words on the senate floor. Senator Heflin, Dem., Alabama, led in demanding the negro's removal, but Senator Hitchcock said he hoped the police would not interfere. Previously Senator Hitchcock had renewed his challenge to M. Clemenceau to disclose the real facts about the use of black French colonials in occupied areas and had received a letter in which the writer had declared the former premier had deliberately "lied" in saying that no black troops were being maintained in Germany. "I don't believe that Clemenceau deliberately lied," continued Hitchcock." I believe in his public life he has made reckless statements, as in this case, when he says that black troops were not there, and when he said that Germany was making hundreds of cannon to prepare for war. "No Use to Quibble." "These black troops are brutes and are stationed among white people and that's all there is to it. The evidence shows it beyond contradiction. There is not any use to quibble as M. Clemenceau does." It was soon after the senator had made this statement that Jones shouted a question from the gallery. "Mr. President," he said, "may I ask the senator a question right there?" Vice President Coolidge banged his THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Watch This Space A. L. Johnston Good AutomobileS gavel while the negro sat down and the senate attendants rushed to him and ordered him to be silent. When Senator Hitchcock concluded, Senator Heflin arose with his face afame, demanded that the negro be removed. "This is the first time that such a person has not been taken from the gallery," said Senator Heflin. "I have seen white women removed from the house gallery and from the senate gallery. This is the first time such an indignity and insult has not been followed with ejectment." Senator Curtis, Rep., Kansas, said that he understood that the negro had asked if he could question Senator Hitchcock and had been reprimanded by gallery attendants and informed of the senate rules against interference of spectators. NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 25. — The "New York Post" makes the following interesting editorial comment on the U. S. Supreme Court's recent Japanese citizenship decision. "There is nothing sensational in the decision of the Supreme Court that Japanese cannot become naturalized in this country. The sensational decision would be one to the opposite effect. As Justice Sutherland observed the privilege of naturalization was confined to white persons in every naturalization law from 1790 to 1870. In 1870 it was extended to persons of African descent. If in 1906 congress had intended to alter a rule that had been in operation from the beginning of the government, it would have done so in unmistakable language. The court had no alternative, therefore but to declare that there had been no legal change in our policy of excluding Japanese from becoming American citizens by naturalization. This does not mean that there can be no such person as an American citizen of Japanese blood. Japanese who are born in this country and subject to its jurisdiction are American citizens by the fourteenth amendment like all other persons so born and governed. Even a Chinese who is in that category is an American citizen. The fact that his parents cannot become citizens has no effect upon his status whatever. Nor can any state change this fact. The fourteenth amendment was adopted for the very purpose of preventing states from excluding anybody from citizenship, and while it was aimed primarily at discrimination against the Negro, it includes discrimination against any other race as well." ROME, Nov. 25.—For the last two years representatives of the Mussulman people from Asia, Africa, and eastern Europe have been concentrating in Italy, especially Rome. Most of them are escaped prisoners or native Nationalists who have been exiled by England or other western nations who rule over the Mussulman countries. Despite the fact that they are from lands far away from each other, they have united in a great cause—the liberation of the whole Mussulman world from the yoke, rule, or influence of foreign nations. India, Turkey, Mesopotamia, Trans-Jordania, Arabia, Palestine, Tripoli, Tunis, and Algiers are in the league against what they call Christian oppression. NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 25.—Governor Parker and Attorney General Coco have laid before Attorney General Daugherty the recent activities of the Ku Klux Klan in this state. The Governor would not be quoted and his departure for Washington was known to only a few friends and a newspaper reporter, who quoted him as saying that he is alarmed at the activities of the Ku Klux Klan in Louisiana and intends to seek federal aid and advice on how to suppress its activities. The governor has recently been defied by the klan. He asked that it refrain from holding parades, but the parades were held. LONDON, England, Nov. 25:—Dr. R. R. Moton was the guest of the archbishop of Canterbury in London recently, after a visit to Scotland, where he attended the Scottish national missionaries conference. He was entertained by the archbishop at luncheon, after which he visited the British Institute of International Affairs. Dr. Moton said the archbishop showed a deep interest in the welfare of the black races, and was anxious to find a means of making proper adjustments between the races.

White Sox took the Fary-Fords down the line to a score to the time of 13 to 4 and on Sunday the Sox lost to the same team by a score of three to nothing. The reason that they lost was that Thurston of the Salt Lake team pitched air tight ball allowing the Sox but one hit in nine innings. To-day and tomorrow Pironnes All Star aggregation will cross bats with the Sox on the first of a special series of five games. With Mackey in the line-up and expecting Blackman to join the team these two teams will put up an exciting contest and will be well worth going to see. BOXING BOXING AMONG THE FOUR ROUND BOXERS Wednesday night rain failed to dampen the arder of the faithful fight fans and quite a few were out to the Madison Square Garden to witness the offering which Messrs Brown and Toles had to offer. The card proved to be a good one and pleased the crowd immensely. THE MAIN EVENT Young Sam Langford vs. Benny Shannon was a run away for four rounds with Young Langford winning all the way. Shannon's only ability was to cover and hold on. Kid Blondie won from Jimmy Ford by a K. O. in the third round. Cyclone Williams outfought One Round Andrews for a decision in four rounds of good mixing. Of course this go could have just as well been a draw for Andrews was a king pin at blocking and smashing away but Williams was doubtless given the decision for trying. One Round Norman and Rough House Cooper went four rounds to a draw. Norman proved like he would kill Rough House at any moment but failed to deliver the killing hence the draw. Battling Butler vs: Slickie put up the funny bout of the evening. It is said that this was the Slicker's first fight and a bunch of his Hollywood boosters (where he lives) came over to whoop it up for him and so loyalty did they perform that it put heart in the Slicker who laid Battling 'Bullet low in the 2nd round of the fight. Previous to this the battler put the Slicker down for the count of nine. Old man Manley won easily from the Zulu Kid in four rounds. RING SIDE NOTES The Hollywood fans put a lot of pep in the old arena on Wednesday night. Next Wednesday night will be a capacity House when Sunny Jim and Mack House will toe the mark for championship honors. The Sporting Department of the Eagle appreciates such gentlemanly boxers as Sunny Jim and Blackie Rice who have demonstrated their honesty and thorough sportsmanship. Art Collins was right on the job as referee and his work was commended by all. Manager Brown is solving the heating problem of the arena and in due time it will be wholly comfortable. The management and matchmakers in their cards are overlooking one of the cleverest and promising boys in the business who is Bobby Pierce. We want to see him in action against some of the top notchers in the near future. TENNIS CHATTER ELECTION OF OFFICERS AND OTHER IMPORTANT BUSINESS AT FEDERATION'S POSTPONED MEETING WEDNESDAY DEC. 6.

Our Come Back At present the office holders of the Fed are: President, William Marshall Dunn; Vice-President, Miss Miriam Garrott; Secretary, Charles Andrew Black; (no corresponding secretary), but one is needed in the future; Treasurer, William Mells Watson; Executive Committee, Byron Kenner; Eddy Carlisle, William M. Watson. Now, this whole outfit except the president might be ship-wrecked with out damage to the Fed, and while Mrs. Carlisle with her unusual brilliance and executive qualities is equally as well fitted for the job as is Bill Dunn, but family responsibilities of any married woman would often hamper the conduct of this most important office, but as our secretary or other office holder, Mrs. Nellie Kay Carlisle has no peer. The eight years' experience of the Fed teaches us that it matters not so much who its officers are, but its success depends upon the being present at all meetings and performing their duties to the letter, "rain or shine."

Nov. 25.—Following deliberations lasting only nine minutes, a jury in the United States District Court here late Monday night found Sidney J. Catt, former governor of Florida, not guilty of the charge of having held in the state of peonage John Henry Rogers, colored. WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 25.—Miller Abner, age 75, Colored, was arrested last Sunday for begging. Police Judge McMahon turned him over to his mother on parole. He added: "Mothers know how to correct wayward sons." The mother was born a slave at New berry, S. C., and when 18 years of age was brought to Washington by the late Senator Lyman in 1840. She is 100 years of age—the oldest member of the local South Carolina colony. BYRNE, Texas, Nov. 25.—Fire which was discovered on the upper floor of the Fairmont Hotel, in the heart of the business district, threatened for a short time to develop into a conflagration which would have wiped out the business section of Byers, Saturday afternoon. Volunteer Negro fighters controlled the blaze, with only nominal damage being done. OPELOUSAS, La., Nov. 25.—The first candidate for Governor of Louisiana is in the ring. His announcement came unexpectedly Saturday. R. Lee Garland, District Attorney for St. Landry and Evangeline Parishes for twenty years, announced he was a candidate for Governor. He declared Ku Kluxism was the great issue in the State in this campaign. "I stand squarely against the Klan meddling in State politics and I stand for a modification of our drastic blue laws, he asserted. These are his two chief plans. DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 25.—When Ed Greer, 37-year-old Negro, lone occupant of the garage and servants' house in rear of the residence of W. H. Goodnight, 403 North Edgefield Sb., was awakened about 5:00 o'clock Sunday morning by a strong odor of natural gas, he lighted a match to see what was wrong. An explosion resulted that seriously burned Greer, wrecked the garage, blowing its roof for a distance of twenty feet and awakened sleeping residents for a dozen blocks on every side. Greer was seriously but not dangerously injured. Republicans of the Ninth district will BRISTOL, Va., Nov. 25.—Lily White not contest the election of George C. Peery, it was announced today following a meeting of political leaders with Congressman C. Bascom Slemp. Prior to the election Mr. Slemp gave notice that the election would be contested in the event Peery was elected, charging fraud and irregularities in the campaign. Mr. Slemp refused to accept the nomination and John H. Hassinger was nominated and defeated. Peery's majority over Hessinger was 3,000. Negroes in the district voted for the Negro candidate to defeat Hassinger. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 25.—"Is this 107?" a woman queried early last Sunday. "Yes," Police Lieut., J. R. Lyons answered. "Well, I'm Mattie Williams, the hardest boiled woman on Florida ave. You better send for me for the protection of other people, because I'm getting bad." "You'd better go to sleep," the lieutenant retorted, "or I will send for you." "Help yourself," she said, and hung up the receiver. "Another drunk," the officer mused and resumed his duties. Thirty minutes later, a horse-drawn wagon pulled up at head-quarters. A ginger-caked colored woman almost fell when alighting from the front seat. She staggered into the lieutenant's office. "I'm Mattie Williams." "Well," "I thought you changed your mind about sending for me and I came down to give myslf up." The lieutenant looked puzzled. "What have you done?" he demanded. "Nothing, but if I don't get in jail I might do something," she said. Mattie was locked up.

NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 25—Bishop W. T. Vernon of the A. M. E. Church who returned from South Africa, Tuesday, November 14, on the steamer Majestic, spoke briefly on the important work for which he is responsible in South Africa at the welcome reception given in honor of Dr. R. R. Moton at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday evening, November 15. He stated that the vital problems confronting the church and the native people in South Africa demand his return to the continent after spending a short vacation in th United States. Bishop Vernon was warm in his praise of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones whom he met in South Africa while the latter was a member of the African Education Commission. In the course of his remarks Bishop Vernon stated that Dr. Jones had "opened the door" for him in South Africa by introducing him to prominent Government officials, including Dr. C. T. Loram, member of the Native Affairs Commission of the Union of South Africa, whose sympathetic co-operation has made it possible for him to enlarge the scope of his activities. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 25.—Modern women have equal rights with men regarding property and a woman who commits an offense against another's property even though it is her husband's, must answer to the law. This is the decision handed down by the District Court of Appeals last Tuesday in the case of Harriet A. Canfield Graff. The state appealed from an order of Superior Judge Houser, granting a motion to quash information brought against Mrs. Graff for embezzlement in connection with certain of her husband's property. Local colored women were greatly interested in the outcome of the case. CHICAGO.

It is easy come, easy go with them. "What's money for but to spend?" is their slogan, and they live up to it in union suits that cost $40. The company was shuffling along in the small towns of Pennsylvania a couple of years ago when Al Mayer—a connection of the Guggenheim—saw a performance and said, "Come with me to Broadway." Not a scratch of the pen was heard, nor has been heard to date. "Al's word went" with the shufflers and is still going strong. Last season he and Harry Cort and the teams of Blake and Sissle and Miller and Lysles subdivided more than a quarter of a million dollars. And just before they came to Chicago, Mr. Euble Blake, the Paderewski of the production, bought himself a raccoon overcoat, taking the same almost off the shoulders of Jack Pickford, a competitor for the purchase. The racon coat followed Mr. Blake to the Olympic by parcels post and was diverted in transit. That is, Mr. Aubrey Lysles got to the expensive parcel first. In the layers of Alice blue tissue paper that lined the box he substituted for the racon masterpiece an ancient and mango garment that had been discarded by his chauffeur. And when this spurious package was delivered to Mr. Blake in his dressing room, there was an off-stage roar which is not written in the libretto. Mr. Blak's rightful racon coat had to be restored before the show could go on. Mr. Lysle is not a frugal person, either. His waistcoat is attached to a platinum watch trimmed with diamonds that cost a thousand dollars. Mr. Mayer carries the only Ingersol in the organization." When "Shuffle Along" leaves Chicago, it goes to Detroit, returning to New York after other Eastern appearances. It is already booked to open with Charles, Cochran, London, Dec. 1923.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE ACCOMPLISHING MORE GOOD WITH YOUNG PEOPLE----BY WENDELL P. GLADDEN, JR.----LOS ANGELES' NEW WRITER Hear Madame Anita Patti Brown, Mon. Eve., at the First A. M. E. Church. PHONE 150-44 The family is the basis of the home. Without mutual understanding between mother and father of the needs and wants of the child, and an effort to realize most of these, true happiness will not be maintained. Parents need to know about the aspirations of their children, their plans for the future. And of vital importance is the genuine home influence exerted over the lives of the young. It is the purpose of these articles to show how even more good may be accomplished with our youth, if proper guidance and encouragement are given. Stimulating Interest in Literature In literature one finds the strivings suffering, the culture, ideals and hope of a people. Young people must become more and more acquainted with literature in general. It is true that they dabble into the great works while in school; yet, this experience is a more test of the innumerable volumes which grace the universal chambers of the Temple of Literature. Worth while books and periodicals are accessible to everyone today, so that young men and women should be encouraged in extensive reading outside of their regular studies. The names of Shakespeare, Goethe, Shiller, Milton, Donate, France, Dunbar, and their immortal works should be familiar. These books may be either purchased and placed into the home or borrowed from the public libraries. Reading lists, in connection with this program, may be supervised and reviews made and records kept. Many of our boys and girls are studying foreign languages, and are capable of reading the literature of other countries and people. They should read a book by a foreign author occasionally. If a proper appreciation of the literature of the race is hoped for, young people too, must be led to see the beauty, phtos, the humor and tragedy and other impressions of our literary works. Purchase these books for them. These volumes should become permanent possessions and treasures. It is surprising how much is published during the year affecting the Negro. Not only should parents, but their children familiarize themselves with current literature. Again, the libraries contain magazines, pamphlets and volumes concerning racial relations written by foremost students and thinkers. Such books as, "Darkwater," "The Negro Faces America," "Following The Color Line," and others, ought to be read by the young as well as the old. Interesting to note is the fact that the recent Prix de Goncourt was won by Rene Maran, Senegal's officer and author. This brilliant Negro was educated in France. His book, "Bartoula," was acclaimed the best novel of the year in France, where eight thousand copies a day were sold. It depicts African life and customs, the cruelty and atrocities of the French are exposed and denounced, and true portraits and sketches are handled in a masterly way. Many reviews have already been made, hire and abroad, but everyone should meet this remarkable writer through his immortal work. Hundreds of our boys and girls have literacy talent. It is drawn out slightly in the classrooms and school papers, but that is not enough. They must be encouraged to study, to read aloud so that they may accustom themselves to the sound of their own voices, and the beauty of the language. And they must learn to write. By this means of expression people can be reached everywhere, and ideas and thoughts disseminated. Parents must assist these, young writers to get their articles and stories into the publications. All of us need to keep abreast of the times. Only through constant reading of our own journals, as well as others in general can we be fully informed. Editors of our papers give opportunity for the venture into this still undeveloped field. At present we find contributions from our high school and college students. They show much promise for the future; but they must ever toil—for writing is hard work, but fascinating—if they would be successful. C. Alphonso Smith has given us an excellent outline of the literature of the world in "What Can Literature Do For Me?" He brings out the many joys owing with the literary characters of all times; and the benefits to be derived from the study of them is stressed. Bertrand Brawley added a monumental work to our literature in his book, "The Negro in American Literature." This is a general survey of our literary achievements from the time of Phillis Wheatley to the present day. James Weldon Johnson offers another treasure in his latest contribution, "The Book of Negro Poetry," a compilation preceded by an essay by Mr. Johnson. To be cultured is to be broad. A thorough knowledge of literature is a prerequisite. Familiarity with works not only of history and science, but also of sociology, philosophy, ethics, economics, and other books dealing with the social fabric should be our aim. O, that men and women would delve deep into the storehouse of life erature and learn of the civilization of West Africa, Egypt, the life and history of Haitians, the pump and splendor of the East, and the swirling events of the modern world. Such knowledge will serve as a boomerang for young people will appreciate keenly the influence the rest of their lives. And, being far visioned, they will express their gratitude. CO-OPERATING WITH BOY AND GIRL. Owing to the rapid growth of cities, increase in population, the multiplicity, and the constant struggle for existence, home-life has lost some of its influence on the boy and girl. The economic pressure, especially, linked with other important causes, force men and women into apartment houses and there are less real homes. Throughout large eastern cities this is very evident. New York City is a striking example of this fact. Parents are employed away from, home and consequently, the sphere o factivity is broader in contrast to that of other days. The housing situation in some cities has become so acute, and space so valuable, that children, when out attending school, must play in the streets. Deplorable, it is true, but these are the conditions under which hundreds of children must grow. And parents lose contact with them. Nevertheless, in other places not so thickly populated excellent opportunities are afforded for real service. The community also must realize the selflessness of helping to train the young and rally to the aid of mothers and fathers wherever possible. To know young people is to work and study with them. Often their wants exceed their needs, but their mistakes can be shown them in a spirit of love. They must be convinced that the interest in them is deep and lasting, if true companionship is sealed. Accompanying his boy or girl to church, entertainments, and visiting the schools whenever convenient will help the parent strengthen the that should bind. In this way children will want to do their best, act their best, and remember the occasion. By questioning young men and women about things within their experience and knowledge, steps can be taken to correct poor judgment, and ignorance, and older people can as certain what the young know. Children create all kinds of images. Grown-ups once dreamed as do these youngsters, but environment has been so varied that they have become hardened and the aesthetic is less strongly appealing. Of course parents know their children, but in the matter of close attention to details, sometimes they are not so careful. By enforcing daily habits of cleanliness, much improvement can be made. The care of the teeth, the hair, face and hands and nails are so often neglected; and when the byo or girl go out from the home people notice these things and judge accordingly. Whether or not they are neat in general appearances can often be traced to their daily habits. Frequent talks about vital affairs are necessary. Instruction can be given in the care of the body. The war revealed the astounding facts of our young manhood's deplorable physical condition. Much of this can be traced to the home where advice was not always given, and where much danger can be eradicated, and more wholesome relations affecting young men and women can be fostered. If the old adage be true that "A man is known by the company he keeps," it is equally true that the man or woman is known by the books he reads. The best of current literature should be placed before children before they "grow-up," for during the adolescent period impressions are gained and oftimes remain fixed in the mind. There is power in simplicity. This is true even in dress. To over-dress is not to dress well at all. Excessive use of cosmetics should be discouraged. Common sense in attire and personal pride should be given attention. Supervision and aiding young people more in their plans of entertainment, as far as possible, may prove beneficial. Of course, this can be carried too far. But if fair supervision is employed in the theaters and dance-halls, as is done in some instances, the right attitude will be taken. But simply to condemn the forms of amusement of the young without taking steps to improve them and remove temptations, does not seem to be the best policy. Youth craves action, romance, adventure, amusement, and recreation; youth is unsteady, curious to know; and if given sufficient freedom, his interest in higher things may be assured. But to stifle these cravings is to kill the soul of youth. These future citizens must be kept alive, wide awake, ready to refend themselves and their posterity in time of trouble, but encouraged to take more active parts in the community and national life. The world needs them with their new ideas, thoughts, and hopes. A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA, DECEMBER, 2, 1922. When the boy or girl has finished the grade school and is about to enter high school the problem of the choice of a course of study is to be met with. It is here that the foundation is laid. So it is advantageous if the young student can decide what his life-work shall be, and plan his program accordingly. Teachers and parents should be careful not to disregard the special inclinations or talents. The idea of forcing the boy and girl to study for something contrary to their own wishes is regrettable. On the other hand, the enthusiasm which one puts into the work of his liking is worth more than the halfhearted interest which is evident in the trades and professions, as well as in business. Our boys and girls must be assisted in their plans of study. There are many courses of study in the public schools, vocational, scientific, engineering, literary, mechanical, music and elective courses are offered. Making the most of their time in these schools, our young will soon qualify themselves for better positions, and for higher education. Equipment, the best of teachers, an excellent system of education are all in their favor. During the last two years of their high school careers students should be informed constantly of the advantages and disadvantages of attending some colleges. The opportunities offerred for complete pursuance of college courses in some places should be noted. A careful study of the catalogs, and announcement will prove beneficial. And once the boy or girl has decided, after receiving advice from parents and friends, upon a particular college every effort should be made for the entrance. Too much emphasis cannot be laid on "Stay-inSchool" campaigns. It is not enough to attend school, but the completion of the entire course will lie one for greater service. A good method which can be employed to effect is the plan of study with day, hour, and length of time devoted to each subject indicated. Once the hours of study are regulated and enforced, scholarship will be improved. Environment, too, is an important factor in shaping the life of an individual. Let the surroundings be wholesome for our young. Furnish them with books and stationery, supplies and clothing needed. Help create in them a taste for the aesthetic. Thrift about the home, interest and pride in the home, the appearance of the house, the yard, become a part of the lives of children when practiced. Econohy habits should be enforced. A part of the weekly or monthly earnings should be put into a savings bank. If the boy is out of work, wasting precious time, help him find a job. It is not the part or full-time job, but the habit of work and service that is important. Life is made up of joy and sorrow, poverty and misery, but despite the circumstances, everyone can help remedy these unfortunate conditions. We must help the young to get the most out of life. It will mean hardship, sacrifice, striving, and suffering too. Yet, constant thought and effort should be our aim if we would remove these. It is the spell of the work that is worth while that counts. Encouraging Varied Pioneer Work Some people are doubtful of the success of every new undertaking. They put their stamp, of disapproval upon every enterprise before it is well under way. It is true that young people have had little experience and training, perhaps, but how can they ever develop initiative, unless they are encouraged in varied pioneer work. A careful study of our business enterprises will show a very small percentage of large, efficient organizations. True, that there are many difficulties, but through honest co-operation more of the larger enterprises will be possible. Yet, our young people are neglecting many opportunities for service. But they need the support of the older people. How many Negro organizations are prepared to employ our young who are trained and seeking employment? Young graduates are challenging the influential citizens; they are coming and will continue to come, to takke the parts of men and women. Besides business organizations, more literary, dramatic, religious, and social clubs should be fostered. In these clubs young people will have an outlet for their talent, practice parliamentary procedure, and also develop qualities of leadership. The power of organization must be realized, together with the responsibility attached. The west is growing. And our young as well as old must grow in enlarged ideals, greater service to their fellowmen; taking more active parts in the community life. Then will they be able to meet with eventualities. WHAT'S THE USE? What's the use to worry. You've not got long to stay; Why not take things easy As you pass along Life's way? T will do no good to worry If things were going wrong; Meet reverse with a smile and a song. What's the use to criticise; What's the use to knock; What's the use to ridicule. Or at some to throw a rock? Don't appoint yourself a censor. No matter what you do; This great big world was never made For just a chosen few. There are none of us that's perfect; There are few of us that stay; And never stray and wonder From the straight and narrow way So when you start to hammer Some poor fool that's gone astray T will do no harm to pause and think You may uuse your grip some day. What's the use to kick one Who's about to fall? If you do not care to help him Don't mention him at all. You'll find, if you take notice, That what I say is true; While there may be faults in others, There's a flaw or two in you. WOMEN'S DAY AT INDEPENDENT Sunday was a big day at the People's Independent Church the occasion being Women's day. Women had charge of everything the spacious church was packed to its utmost capacity and women did all the work there were women ushers and trustees and also a woman preacher none other than the Rev. Mrs. Mary E. Palmer who delivered a most inspiring sermon about women. It has been safe that the hand that rocks the crumble rules the world. So a short time ago the independent Church decided to find out if this was so. The men were given first chance to prove this, they did well but alas the following Sunday women took their stand and so easily proved that the hail that rocks the oracle does rule the world. The program was very good indeed with our own Mrs. Sinclair Murdock as Mistress of Ceremonies we were very proud of her so sweetly did she fill her position. The program was rendered in the evening every woman was at her best. Mrs. Spear Bass delivered a most wonderful address. Women we are very proud of you. The collection for the day for Mrs. Mary Palmer $32.00; for regular collection $279.21; for the two Sundays $557.52. Mrs. Lawrence Butts, Grand Elector of the Order of Eastern Star, who has been confined to her bed at the home of Mrs. Elgin Frambo Hicks of 1446 E. 20th Street for the past three months was removed to the hospital Wednesday.

Nov. 25.—The Allied Industrial Finance Corporation has just sent out a dividend check covering the first quarterly dividend of 8 per cent to the paid up holders of its preferred stock. The corporation has made remarkable progress during the past few months in which it has been actively engaged in business. Having been organized in December, 1920, with Dr. Emmet J. Scott, of Washington, D. C., as president, and with Mr. John R. Hawkins, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Mr. Whitefield McKinley, and Mr. Norman L. McChee, as fellow officers and directors, over One Hundred Thousand ($100,000). Dollars worth of the Allied Financial Corporation's stock was subscribed by July 1, 1922, at which time it started actively on its program to supply financial assistance to colored business men and women, and groups of colored men and women, in the extension of business, the building of homes and other worthy objects. Other prominent men who are on the Board of Directors of the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation are: Dr. M. O. Dumas, Mr. F. Morris Murray, Dr. A. B. Jackson, of Washington, D. C., Mr. S. W. Green, of New Orleans, La.; Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, N. J.; Dr. R. M. Fowler of Atlantic City, N. J.; Dr. J. R. Stubbs, and Dr. S. G. Ellbert, of Wilmington, Del.; Mr. E. C.

EDITOR'S NOTE: "Edmund Burke said that there were Three Estates in Parliament, but in The Reporter's Gallery yonder there sat a 'Fourth Estate' more important far than they all." WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25. Washington is different with Congress in session. Washington is different to begin with. It is different from the big industrial and commercial cities, where there is hustle and bustle; hurry and scurry. Here, everything moves slowly—except prejudice. That is about the swiftest moving thing in town, and those who compare things ve., at the now—even under Republican control with what they were twenty-two years ago, under a McKinley administration, or twenty-six years ago under a democratic Cleveland administration, in office and out, will be forced to admit that prejudice here has has a fine run for its money. Race prejudice in Washington, the nation's capital, where the very acme of government idealism would be supposed to be reached, is a fine field for cynics, to say the least. The appeals to justice, equality and fair play are a travesty upon the dreams of the founders of the nation. It's all a huge joke in Washington, "One Sue" as the promising offspring of the writer dubs it. Prejudice is so rampant here, and indifference to it by the authorities so glaring, that one is made to shudder what the answer will be in another score of years, if the old cursed things keep on. Take Treasury Department There is the Treasury department for example. There has been discovered an unwritten law in this department to the effect that all colored women must be accepted only in the registers division, and then must be segregated. Precedent would require a Colored Register of the Treasury, and if President Harding expects to succeed himself in 1924 he could make a good political play here. However, it has been discovered that there is a young woman from Boston in one of the divisions, whom the scrutinizing chiefs had failed to "case." Her work is efficient, and she has been promoted to a position paying $1,850 a year. Prosto, someone found that this capable young lady is living with "Colored people." Hence, she has been called in and informed that it would be wise to be transferred to Boston, at $14,450. The young lady cannot see the point, and refuses to go. Congressman Tinkem of Massachusetts, who says he is going to compel the southerners to permit all citizens to vote, is backing the young lady up in her refusal. The matter has been taken up directly with Secretary Mellon. Another Case in Point Down in Virginia, a colored clerk was promoted to be clerk in charge, in the railway mail service. He happened to be well qualified, and a brother-in-law of a prominent public official in Chicago. When it was discovered that this man is running in charge, the two Sengors from Virginia, several Congressmen, "prominent" citizens and business men, entered a strong protest to Second Assst. Postmaster General Paul Henderson, son-in-law of Congressman M. B. Madden of Chicago. They said, "This is a white line," meaning that while in the South Colored clerks run in charge over some lines, former P. M. G. Burleson, made a dead line. It happens that General Henderson is made of the old fashioned clay of justice, and, so far as he is concerned, is determined to wipe out the follies of the color line. Henderson has told the clerk to stay on the run, and his opinion of prejudice of this kind would change the temperature. WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 25. President Harding in appearing before Congress with his special message on government aid to shipping or the merchant marine, is staking his future on the success of the measure. His address was clear cut, and well received, but will not be accepted on face value by some, as he acknowledged in the course of the address. The address showed a fighting spirit of determination that is seldom seen in President Harding. If he wins and the odds are in favor of his winning, it will give him a much stronger hold on the political fortunes of the future. CHICAGO. ILL. Nov. 25—A suit was filed by P. W. Chavers, a stockholder, through Maj. A. E. Patterson and the law firm of Hoyne, Barnhart, McKay and Niemeyer, last Tuesday, against the Douglas National Bank, Thirty-second and State Sts. heralded on its organization four months ago as the second Negro national bank in the country. Federal Judge Carpenter was asked to take charge of the assets and to wind up affairs. A petition filed in the Federal Court charges the bank is insolvent and that a move is on to dissipate its assets. Officers and directors, the petition charges, have conspired to invent $175,000, practically all of the capital, in a bond issue floated by the Overton Building Company. Anthony Overton, president of the bank, is said to be also head of the Overton Building Company, which is selling bonds for the erection of a business building at Thirty-sixth place and State Street. The petition charges the charter was fraudulently procured from the comptroller of currency by false representations. Subscribers for stock, the bill asserts, were denied an opportunity of completing payments, and it was sold $2.00 THE YEAR ES' NEW WRITER In The Music World By John A. Gray Why should your child study music? This question has been asked many times and the parents are very seldom able to give a sensible reason. In fact, few parents know why. They merely imitate their trunks or consider it an accomplishment for social purposes. Both these reasons are very poor and the main advantages are entirely overlooked. In this day of superior education, the study of music is not considered a amere accomplishment any more than reading, writing or arithmetic are considered such. When we stop to realize that music is being used for practical purposes, such as curing mental derangements, diseases, and for rhythmic penmanship, for putting pep in workers, (witness the pins given daily by Stores, factories, etc.) not to mention its use in the removal of surplus fat and other novel forms, we are compelled to acknowledge that it is a necessity. Alexander Lambert says that every child ought to begin the study of music in some form together with his other studies. Not with the intention of becoming a great musician, but for the personal benefits to be derived from its cultural possibilities. Paderewski says: "Music in itself is one of the greatest forces for developing breath in the home. Far too many students study music with the view to becoming great virtuosi. Music should be studied for itself without any great aim in view except in the cases of marvelously talented children. Again, many children might b developed into teachers or composers who would never, make virtuosi. This should be very carefully considered. Most of the students assume that th career of the virtuosi is easier, more illustrious, and last, but not least, more lucrative than that of the composer. But it is better to start out to be a great composer or a great teacher and become one, rather than to strive to be a virtuoso and prove a tiaco. The intellectual drill which the study of music gives the child is of great educational value. There is nothing which will take its place, and it is for this reason that many of the greatest educators have advocated it so highly. In addition to this, the actual study of music results in almost limitless gratification in later life in the understanding of great musical masterpieces." MME.

A POPULAR ATTRACTION The unending popularity of the Famous Georgia Minstrels who are scheduled for an appearance here at the Mason Opera House, Dec. 11th is one of the wonders of stageland.

Operatives of the Keystone National Detective Agency were employed to gather evidence. Officers of the bank include the Rev. J. W. Robertson, R. R. Jackson, S. A. T. Watkins and Edward Miller. Deposits are about $75,000. Judge Carpenter reserved his decision pending an investigation of the alleged irregularities. Bank officials deny the institution is insolvent and, it is said, charge Chavers, who organized the bank, with conspiring to wreck it because he was not elected President. Chicagoans who have taken pride in the institution are rallying to its aid. E. Church.

(Continued from last week) NEW YORK. Nov. 25. "Africa, like every other land of continental proportions, has all types of climates, due to differences in latitude and altitude, is a statement embodied in the report of the African Education Commission just published by the Phelps-Stokes Fund. For instance, British South Africa, which is one half the area of the United States, is almost entirely in the South Temperate zone. All the West Coast Colonies have some high sections where the tropical heat is favorably modified, while the great Congo Basin has an average altitude of one-thousand feet. In further discussion on the subject the report says: "Even in the lower levels where mosquitoes and testes flies have been a menace to health and life missionaries, merchants and government officials are, living with considerable safety and comfort. Members of the Education Commission were repeatedly impressed by the sight of Europeans and Americans who have lived in these regions for many years. In one American mission station, just where the Congo River crosss the Equator, the Commission saw four American families with seven children, all in good health. In another station in Lower Congo there were two American missionaries and their wives who have served an average of forty years in that region, notorious for malaria and sleeping sickness. "The health experience of the Education Commission is most reassuring to travelers in Africa. This party of Americans and Europeans with one native African traveled 25,000 miles for ten months in coast and interior regions of Africa, absolutely without illness from any African cause. The precautions required were helmets in the tropics, daily quinine in malarial regions, and boiled water where the supply was not supervised." That the prosperity of all peoples is dependent upon co-operative relations with other peoples, and that the influence of the white races on Africa has so far been on the whole good, are conclusions reached by the commission. Excerpts from the report on the subject follow: "Some have thought that the influences of Europeans and Americans have been more for evil than for good. Some have thought that it would have been better to leave the African in his natural condition. Few have realized the importance of the movements that have been started and the changes that have been wrought. It must be stated that many mistakes have been made and many injustices perpetrated. In some sections the Africans have suffered tragically at the hands of selfish white exploiters. Evil influences originated by white people still persist in too many parts of Africa." "It is, however, the emphatic conviction of th Education Commission that the gains that have come to Africa through the white man are far greater than the losses. Among the most convincing evidence of this conviction are those obtained from a study of the positions of Africa now ruled by European nations. The elements of life that reflect the change introduced by the white groups have been the improvement of physical well-being, including the decrease of sickness and death and the attendant suffering; the decrease and often the elimination of the power of witchcraft, a form of oppression exceeding general and cruel; the overthrow of inter-tribal slavery; the development of friendly relations among, tribes formerly hostile; the extension of the economic benefits of the country to all the tribes, and the opening of the doors of civilization to those who were formerly limited to the narrow confines of their tribes." Admitting that the extension of commercial, industrial and even governmental influences sometimes have too often been attended with suffering on the part of the native people the report continues: "The early periods of adjustment to the new forces are especially trying. But in the long run one of the best measures of the final influence of the white group up on the native peoples is the increase or decrease of population. So long as there are no records of the feelings of the native masses we must rely on the vital measur that reflects the condition of the majority of the group, namely, the power of the group to maintain life. On this basis the statistics of most of the colonies show a decided increase in population and, therefore, an improvement in general welfare." TORONTO, Canada, Nov. 25.—If a student named Choeen made 92 marks and one named Murphy made 68, after the Star chamber had finished it would be Murphy who would be admitted," said Rabbi Brickner at Friday night's service in Holy Blossom Synagogue. The Rabbi (who lectured in English) chose for his subject: "The Exclusio nof Jews by American Colleges." After describing the attitude of American Colleges as autocratic, the Rabbi declared that in comparison with Oxford and Cambridge and other Big European Universities, the products of American Universities are like kindergarten children alongside mature men. Analysing the causes that had led up to the exclusion, the speaker said that jealousy at the success achieved by Jewish students, and racial aloofness were the two main reasons, although the heads of the colleges advance the reasons that the Jews disturb the social equilibrium of American Institutions. TORONTO, Canada, Nov. 25. There are grave indications that Ontario may experience a Chinese problem similar to that which has perplexed British Columbia for two decades. Th truck-farming business in the If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA' EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened surburban districts of Toronto is gradually becoming controlled by Chinese gardeners, and the Ontario farmers in their alarm over the yellow peril in their midst are urging the provincial government to act. "The Chronicle," a weekly Toronto publication, says: "When the hordes of orientals invaded the Pacific Coast, many Canadian gardeners, being dazzled by the incredible sums offered for their property, readily sold their farms. Those who did not sell were practically forced to vacate the vicinity because the Chinese standard of living was intolerable, and the competition in marketing farm produce was an insurmountable handicap. Many Chinese are undoubtedly clever and astute, but a large number show physical evidences of licentiousness. They are the agencies by which the terrible drug, traffic has been spread throughout our nation. One perceives, with dismay, the increasing tendency of sensual Chinese to associate with Canadian girls—the inevitable consequences are too horrible to contemplate. Something must be done to control or eradicate this grim menace to Canadianism. COLORED MAN WINS LAURELS WRITING POEM.

NEW YORK ELECTION Philip Randolph polled 90,000 votes in New York City alone, and most of the Negro vote throughout the state. He ran second on the entire Socialist ticket, even beating the gubernatorial candidate. The electrical wizard, Steinmetz alone ran ahead of the ticket, but his vote was largely complimentary to his genius. Crosswait, candidate for Congress, polled only 2049 votes in the Negro District and Carpenter, assembly, polled 5440. The Negros defeated the Republican Ansorge and sent a Democrat to Congress from their district. Negroes defeated Bolden, colored Republican candidate for Assembly and sent Male, white Democrat. They defeated the white Republican candidate for Assembly from the 21st district and sent Shields, Democratic Negro lawyer. But Philip Randolph's old powerful vote came as a stunner for both old parties. They are learning fast. FOR RENT: Neatly furnished troffit room, $15.00 per mo.. Apply 1846 Newton St. Rev. J. H.

The most interesting, inspiring and enthusiastic services ever held in this church were the services and program held in honor of Woman's day on last Sunday. The edifice was packed and many persons were turned away. The morning sermon was preached by Rev. Mary E. Palmer. Her subject was "God's Purpose to the Ethiopian Woman." Her text was Psalm 68:11. "The Lord gave the Word, great was the company of them that published it." This burning message will live forever in the hearts of all who listened to this woman of God. A chorus of sixty women under the direction of Mra. E. Monroe Beavers turned excellent music. Madam Sinclair White Murdock as mistress of ceremonies conducted th services in a very satisfactory manner. Every number on the program was worthy of commendation, but the special features were an eloquent address on the "Achievements of Race Women," by Mrs. Charlotte S. Bass, a reading by Mrs. Maude Prayer, and an excellent address on the subject, "Woman in the Home," by Madam Murdock. Woman's Day was indeed a tremendous success. The offering to the Church for the day amounted to $279.21. In addition to this $52.83 was given to Rev. Palmer as an appreciation of the impressive talk delivered by her. The entire offering for the day amounted to $332.04. The contest between the men and women resulted in a triumphant victory for the women. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH Splendid services were enjoyed by the worshippers at this church the past Sunday. The Pastor filled the pupit at both hours. In the morning he spoke on "church Support," and at the evening hour he used as his subject: "The Light of the World." This Sunday December 3rd will be observed as Fellowship and Canvass Sunday. The Lord's Supper will be observed at both hours. It is the hope of the Pastor and officers that 100 per cent of the resident members of the Church will be present at the Lord's table. The membership roll will be called at the morning service. Be present to answer your name. In the afternoon every member of the church will be visited at his or her home by the visiting team from the church. Every short is being made to make this the most successful "Canvass" in the history of the church. HIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Pice and Paloma Streets. Rev. W. E. Shaw, Pastor. "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." I Cor. 16:13 verse was used quite effectively on last Sunday morning by our pastor, Rev. Show.

A lovely missionary Service was carried out at 2:30 p.m. The Bible Class at 6:00 p.m. and C. E. Society at 7:00 p.m. have become a live wire indeed. At 8:00 p.m. Rev. J. G.

The day was ideal and our attendance most excellent. The presence of visiting ministers was agreeably surprising. Among them was our beloved brother, Kellar, and his good wife. At 11:40 a.m. our minister brought us a burning message from these words: "Behold I come quickly and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Rev. 22:12. From this text he showed very conclusively that man shall either stand or fall, by his work—that no labor would cease, but his work was eternal and would follow him through all eternity. At 8:00 p.m. Elder Jacobs preached a expository sermon from John 11., which was full of spiritual food and was heartily received by all present. It is a source of pleasure to note the manner in which our new mem- bers are taking hold for the work, indications point to success for our thanksgiving program. Great things in store next Lord's day. Preaching by the pastor 11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Bible School 6:50 a.m. and Christian Endeavor 7:00 p.m. Your presence is highly gratifying. All welcome!

Brother White conducted a splendid Endeavor Service at 6:30 p.m. And Brother Williams delivered an excellent sermon in the evening from the text, "Many are called but few are chosen." There were many visitors present. The trustee offering for the day amounted to $26.95 making a total of $70.95 for the month of November for the trustee department. Sunday Dec. 3 will be General Class and Sacrament day. We are praying and looking for a glorious out pouring of the Holy Spirit. All are invited and will be heartily welcome. THE FIRST A. M. E.

By special request the minister in charge will deliver both the morning and evening sermon at Eighth and Towne Avenue Church Sunday. The latter subject at 7:30 p. m. will be on "The Automobile Religion." This subject caused quite a little stir when delivered recently to a morning congregation. Holy communion is to be observed at both services. Good music by the choir under direction of Prof. Bartlett will be a feature of each service. Sunday was a gala day in historic old Eighth and Towne Avenue Church. The large congregation included many prominent visitors. Rev. Ward used as his text: "Remember Me for Good." In response to invitation 12 (twelve) persons came forward and united with the membership of our church, making a total of 73 to join since conference. The singing by the choir was inspiring. The services had the old time fervor. Miss Bercella Sweatman led an interesting A. C. E. League meeting.

JULIUS ALBRITTON RECEIVE After two years of wedded happiness Mr. and Mrs. Julius Alibritton of 1460 E. 22nd Street thought it beffiting to invite those immediate members of both families to celebrate with them the end of the second year. So Saturday evening at their residence was spread a never-to-be-forgotten feast and around the board the lucky ones did partake. It was shortly after eight when the doors to the dining room were slid back and Mrs. Julius Albritton did smilingly welcome the guests in. Was there ever such a table spread? The snow white linen cover was a fitting background for the sparkling crystalline wear, center piece of red roses, sweet peas and greenest of fern. A pretty salad designated each place. A deliciously browned turkkey stuffed to the bursting point turned its breast heavenward in waiting. Now it is too great a taxation to mention everything but it is safe to say that everything that human appetite could crave was there to satisfy. And eat? Why you couldn't begin to taste of everything it was only hitting the high soots to get through at all. And merry? Why there was a burgundy fluid waiting at each place to make the merriest more merry. It was a time never to be forgotten. The host and hostess received some useful gifts in paper. The partakers were as follows: Rev. and Mrs. Wm A. Washington; Mrs. Mamie Pope; Mr. and Mrs. Foster Driver; Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Albritton; Mr. and Mrs. Wilbour Wilson; Mr. and Mrs. George Jefferson; Mrs. Daisy Braham; Mrs. Nelson Albritton; Mrs. A. Maxfield; Miss Idell Albritton; Mr. L. D. Bateman.
