Race Rioting in the State of Florida PHONE 150-44 On Friday, January 5th again the dailies came forth with captions announcing that another Race Riot is on in full blast in Florida, and the same old story about a Negro attacking a white girl is the very interesting subject of the sensational theme that is engaging the attention of the newspaper public. If the South could throw off its black mask of prejudice and realize that it is no more lawful for all the blacks to pay the penalty of one man's crime than it is for all whites to suffer for the sins of one white criminal, there would be less rioting. The Negro has passed through too many bloody wars to be longer afraid to face death, so the "White" South had just as well prepare for a death struggle against the blacks in Florida and the Ku Klux in Louisiana. NOTABLEADDRESS "The civilized world is calling for a man, and every American youth should strive to answer the demand by furnishing that man. To do that we must first find what he is, for many in our country have a false standard, and many others are trying to measure up to it or become discouraged, believing it impossible to reach the standard. Before attempting to say what man is, let me say what he is not. "Man is not color, (white) as some would have him, he is not flaxen hair, he is not physical size or strength, if he were, then the greatest man on earth would be the elephant, for he has both size and strength, but that which call man, goes into the jungles, captures the elephant, brings him into civilization and leads him around by his ear, rides on his head or back. Lion would come in ahead of man, for he is so powerful, if you confine him in this room, let him become angry and simply roar, he would jar the glass out of the windows, yet man cages him, walks in the cage and the lion crouches in his corner. But what is man? "Man is mind, soul, will. He thinks. Destroy mind and he would remain a perpetual infant. He may develop physical size, have strength, but with mind gone he is a child. Hence the insane, if you see a crazy man, white or black he is a crazy man and color has absolutely nothing to do with it. So it is with he whose mind is trained in harmony with God, he who thinks, color has nothing to do with it. We must produce thinkers. "It is up to us to prove that the color of the skin has nothing to do with manhood, for the body is simply the house in which the man lives. You cannot see man. Here you are in California, where you have the opportunity to produce the man, because the man-making factory, the school house is thrown open to all alike without regard to color, race or what not, and you have only to walk in and find the man through mind and soul culture. Tone your minds in harmony with God. In some sections of the country, we are taught man superior, man inferior through the separation in the schools. You will find in some states that the standard for manhood is white, and that white man tries to confine that to himself, by having accredited high schools for his boys and girls who seek the higher standard of manhood, and none for ours. "Separate schools mean separate manhood, it means inferiority for one and superiority for the other, for nowhere we have the separation in schools do we find identically the same. While some would have it out here, claiming that is the road to a job. If getting a job is to let down an equal opportunity, then let the job go up salt river. If you will only pre-pare yourself, the job will be yours. I have no respect for any man, class of men or set of men who would advocate separation in the man factories. "A real man does not approach another with hat under arms, looking down at the ground with a grin 'yassa boss,' but he stands erect looks every man right in the eye, a man approaching a man. We have too many who want to be leaders and claim to carry all the race in their pockets, and know the needs of his people. But I declare unto you, there is no white man, or combination of white men who can select leaders for us. The white man selects the leaders for my people among the liars. The man who will say we want separate but equal accommodation. The man who would say the curse to the race is politics, and would declare that we should stay out of politics. Any man who says that about the Negro is not worth h...i room and if he should die and go down there he would have to remain in a trying room for a few years, because he is too green to burn. Let the hearts of every black boy beat in unison, 'I want to be a man, and with a man stand, religion in my heart education in my head, and a ballot in my hand. With that bal lot we are to protect our rights, personal and real property. Let us lay the foundation of our manhood in truth, justice, the superstructure in GOOD, BAD, OR INDIFFERENT If the Negro is industrious, thrifty, goes into business, buys a decent residence on an improved street, seeks rational pleasures for his family, gets above menial labor and acts the part of a respectable citizen, he is Uppish. No Good, Trying to be White, Wants Social Equality, Obnoxious, Offensive, and a Menace to the Nation. If the Negro is idle, shiftless, illiterate, homeless, disposed to petty crimes, exposed to repeated imprisonment, fears white folks, hates his own people, frequents every open place of vice, and is without ambition or aims, or hope, he is the always the "Noteworthy Example of the New Negro" the white man's burden. If the Negro is idle, and takes a menial job and sticks to it long enough to barely pay for a home, looks for nothing beyond the satisfying of the present need, values the good will of white people above the services of his wife and children within his own home or above the education of his children, typifies the antebellum spirit in word and manners and takes no chances outside of "His Place," he is the dear "Old Uncle." To be good, bad or indifferent, to the average white American mind, one's color or race or previous condition is the very limit of his white reasoning and understanding. For a long while yet, the paramount thing in American thought will be the Eternal Negro Question. J. H. ADAMS, in Baltimore "Afro-American." industry, adorn and illuminate the dome with peace and toleration. Build this manhood for the civilized world that it shall never fall. "Where is Abel thy brother?" never fell upon the cars of a guilty Calm, and had more meaning than should come home to every one of the men and women from the institutions with that superior training or mind, until every one of us cries out in the language of the Apostle Paul. 'O wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from the body of death.' A kind and a good Providence makes us responsible for our brother, in order that mankind shall be elevated. A bitter blighting prejudice and hatred chains us to the body of death, for a different reason, but overruled by Providence to work out exceeding great good. All the influence of the yeast of civilization, by hatred, burning curse is driven down to the bottom of the mass of Negro life, until in God's own time, the whole mass becomes permeated with righteous industry and frugality, and it all shall rise heavenward. Prejudice is but the cylinder or steam trunk which confines the expanding water, until the particles of steam have accumulated power to drive the mighty engine with its load, to higher manhood, to civilization and to God. Industrial intelligence plus intelligent industry, must be the lever by which all this shall be done; upon a foundation of racial respect, for no race or individual can rise in the world which does not emphasize its racial or individual identity. The man who does not emphasize the importance of this soon becomes insane and recognizes himself as anybody else but himself. "Today we are proud to say that we have produced a man in every walk of life, and we shall continue to do so as long as God lives. The white man and the Negro, side by side are called upon to defend Old Glory. Each with patriotism and love have responded. To the flag, we have always been true and loyal and we are going to continue. I am talking tonight to men who would walk into death as freely as they would walk into a good Christmas dinner for the defense of our flag. We are not traitors, and I thank God we have never seize enough to be one. We know one country, one flag, one President—each belong to us and for each we are willing to die. We have shown our manhood, our loyalty from Boston Commons, Bunker Hill, to the Carazals in Mexico and the bloody battlefields of France, and we will show it when the time comes to strike our common enemy. "Lynching, burning, mob violence will never discourage us. The day that we become discouraged, will be that day when the sky will be of a pale blue, so pale that we can see into heaven, and there discover God lying motionless on a couch. Then there will come from behind a cloud, a man riding a horse with a lighted torch in one hand, with which he will inscribe on the azure blue, 'God is dead.' Until then we are going in the midst of prejudice, race hatred and antipathy, continue to furnish a man." Dr. Stewart left Monday morning for Chicago. He prescheduled Sunday morning at the A. M. E. church, Pasadena, and Sunday night at Tabernacle Baptist Church. He is an official of the National Baptist Convention.

Reduced railroad rates, and exemp tlon from duty on agricultural imple- ments, are being offered to the immi- grant by the Mexican Government. ‘The Mexican Government, realizing that the development of the country’s agricultural resources. is even more Profitable than the development of her mines, is giving special attention to the farmers, planters and ranchmen, With the object of helping them to de. velop their properties. Systematical cultivation by the use of modern ma: chinery is being introduced, and to that end, carloads of trucks and agri- culturl implements of the most modern type are being imported direct. by the Government and exhibited in buildings fitted for that purpose. The Department of Agriculture has agents throughout the different sections ot the country, demonstrating the utility of those implements, and offering them for sale to the farmers ut cost price, and on easy terms. Plants, seeds and booklets are distributed among the farmers in order to insure them the best methods of agriculture. At the present time the department of Agriculture and Development in Mexico is preparing the execution of the Agrarian laws, so ax to dispose ‘of millions of acres that ure government Property. ‘The xovernment has bout 68 million acres of government lands Which when sold will range from one. dollar up an acre. The day of the big Haclendas which pfevailed in Mexico | for the last four hundred years is past International Community Welfare Lea: gue assures the Negro, the Mexican, and the indian that every facility an | assistance will be given to the mem: bers of the International Community Welfare League, who wish to take ad vantage of the great opportualties uf- fered by the Mexican Government in the sale and development of the mil Hons of acres of fertile Mexican land.

MEXICO A LAND OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY SERRA SD Shee oewenee Eee gon's Administration. “The protection of Americans iy the main thought considered by our Am- erican people and by the American Government. President Obregon bay done much more than merely protect Americans. He has protected his own people. He has restored law and or- der and popular rights and liberties completely throughout his whole coun- try and for all classes, rich and poor regardless of rac, color or creed. . He is not a partisan of any class or clique. He is’ not playing favorites. He is endeavoring to do absolute pus- tice. And it is because he is resting his orderly social and governmental structure upon the firm foundation of equal justice that the peace and pros- perity of Mexico will be permanent. As a matter of fact, the principles and policies of President Obregon are so sound and sincere, that it is ad- visable that some of our own States- men study them and learn a lesson from him. ‘ ‘The Mexican people know that not only schools, but all other civilizing influences are being developed. They know that the railroads are being ex- tended and improved, and that great highways are being built’ from the railroad terminals into distant dis tricts. They know that telephone sys- tems are being installed between towns; that electric lighting systems are being installed in the smallest towns; that power Ix being developed; that ‘water systems are being im- proved for drinking purposes, for ir- rigation purposes and for imanufac- turing purposes. Hospitals are being built and clean- liness and sanitation encouraged. Farm schools and manual training schools are being established to teach the farmers and the working men how to make the best and most out of their opportunities. What they do not understand i why the United States, which ix sup- posed to be a progressive and demo- cratic nation, does not recognize a sis- “ter republic, which is keeping pace with it in progress and democracy, and far ahead in the effort of social betterment. General Ignacio Enriquez, capable and cultured governor of Chihuabua, distinguished graduate of the Univer- sity of Illinois, intense patriot, sincere democrat and profound btinker, de- clares that the Mexican revolution sprang from the mind of the United States of. America, Iike Athene from the head of Zeus. ‘Thus says, Governor Enriquez, the revolution started in those northern Mexican States which are nearest to the United States, and was born of American thought and modeled on ‘American customs. . ‘Why, then, should the United States hesitate to recognize this truly repub- Ijcan government, which {s in a large Measure the child of its own brain, ‘and which seeks but to follow in the path of Mberty.and enlightment, of progress” and prosperity, which the United States itself has trod?

One of the features of the extraordinary entertainment and dance given by the Negro Progressive Club of California in the Exposition Auditorium, January 1, 1923, was the demonstration of folk dances by little eight year old Neva Mary People. This was one of the most pleasing of the many spectacular events on the program. Officials of the Negro Progressive Club announced also that there need be no apprehension as to what part of the Exposition Auditorium would be used. It was positively the main hall. This hall, by the way has a seating capacity of 122,000. So it can readily be seen that there was dancing space for unlimited couples. It was also announced from Club headquarters that the advance sale of tickets indicated an attendance of fully seven thousand. One of the hardest things to get now days is a rise out of some of the political bosses of the city. All activities seem to have shifted to Sacramento. Many rumors of rewards are going rounds but they carry nothing definite. It is not known, nor can it be ascertained, what is to be done for the black wheel horses. It is also known that in certain quarters certain legislative matters are being worked out, but it was explained that of necessity these things must be kept in a large measure under cover until all the details were worked out. Arrangements have been completed by the Negro Progressive Club to see that every Sunday School child in the city under the age of 12 is given a Christmas token. This work is under the supervision of Mrs. M. E. Dorsey. Now that the Dyer anti-lynchburg bill has been defeated, one is fearful that the Republicans will have the monumental gall to come to the Negro voters of the County and ask their continued support. Certain high officials, some time ago, told a representative bill his Service as far as the bill was concerned the politicians were only throwing the Negroes of the country a little sop. Many are of the growing opinion that the Republican party in so far as the Negro is concerned is a dead letter. Where is the old time preacher who used to visit his parishioners and have prayer before leaving? Guess he'd be called an old fogie in these days of the flapper. WATTS NEWS.

FEATURE SECTION RACE LAD WINS HONOR "Puss" Thompson elected Captain of Whittier Eleven. By Geo. Duncan.

Under the skillful guidance of Thompson, Whittier again will produce a championship conference team. IN THE MUSIC WORLD. By John A. Gray. The year 1922 is rapidly closing and we are forced to take a backward glance at the dying year and things musical. In considering the number of musical events that have been given here as well as the quality of them we are greatly encouraged. There has been a steady increase of better musical programs. There, have been more serious students among the classes of our teachers and the standard has been steadily raised. The audiences have become more appreciative and the public in general more discriminative. Gone are the days when any sort of a program would attract a large crowd. Gone are the days when the public would politely applaud and pretend that it was hugely enjoying itself. Gone also are the days when it believed every word of the advertisements. In other words—the public is being educated and wants to see and hear for itself. Most Easterners think that we, out here on the edge of the country, have cultural development, no appreciation. and in short are quite ignorant, but idea is prevalent among the other race, more so than among our own. However, artists soon find out the difference. In most Eastern cities a recital must be followed by a dance if one wishes to draw a large crowd. In Los Angeles we do attend in large numbers for the sake of the music itself. At the rate we are progressing now, in five years we shall have the largest, most cultured and appreciative live audiences for piano and violin recitals to be found in the country. This means that they will actually know the instrument, its repertoire and its possibilities. We base this statement upon the number of students who are studying seriously, the class of music that is played in the pupil recitals and the large audiences that hear these recitals many times during the year. Also from the number of race teachers who are making a living by teaching and the quality of their instruction. If there is another city in this country, with the same race population, that can equal it we would like to know where it is. While we are proud of our progress we are not satisfied and during the coming year we shall endeavor to further develop our talents and benefit the community at large. Personally, we thank the readers of this column for the many kind words of commendation we have received for these weekly observations, and wish them all a very happy and numerous New Year. WILALYN STOVALL The main office of the "Universal Negro Improvement Association" and "The Negro World" are located in New York. It seems to have been the original idea of Marcus Garvey to retire leisurely along with his corps of workers and dictate to the 400,000,000 black people of the world, telling them how to invest their mofey so that it will swell his own private fortune. He has been advocating a kind of radicalism, that is altogether untimely and almost unreasonable. The thinking class of people of New York look lightly upon the whole matter and regard Marcus Garvey as just another dreamer. Sir A. J. Poston, Secretary General of the U. N. I. A. cordially greeted the writer at the offices, attired in a neat black long-sleeled suit. In every respect he presented the appearance of a multi-millionaire. The office force, including between ten and fifteen stenographers were constantly at work. Sir Poston is a thoughtful, precautious and a somewhat reserved man. He was not disposed to tell any more of the organization than he was asked. When he was asked of the future plans of the U. N. I. A., he gave "The Negro World" as a reference. According to his statements the Black Star Line is insolvent and the U. N. I. A. is trying to raise money to redeem the stock. A deposit was made with the United States Shipping Board for the "Phyllis Wheatley" but neither the vessel nor a refund have been obtained. An attempt was made a few months ago to make "The Negro World" a daily paper, but it proved too great a task for the organization to put over. Sir Poston acknowledged that Marcus Garvey had accumulated quite a large personal fortune, but he was not able to connect this with the fact that he is indicted by the United States Government for misappropriation of funds. When he was told that the Garvey movement lost many supporters in Los Angeles after the return of Mr. Jackson, Thompson from the convention said, Mr. Thompson worked diligently with a group of men who raised the interest of the U. N. I. A. and Mr. Thompson was If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You nominated for an office and I supported him in his candidacy. But when he was defeated then the rupture began between him and the U. N. I. A. Sir Poston is also at variance with Chandler Owen for certain articles which have appeared in "The Messenger." He assumes the attitude of one who is undergoing the knocks of the world, but only for the betterment of his race. There are many illiterate working people in the South who are blindly following the movement, wholly ignorant of the situation of the organization and its leader. Possibly if Mr. Garvey had been living in an earlier generation immediately fater the Emancipation Proclamation, he would not find it so difficult to put over his schemes. But now, it would be advisable for him to return to the islands and go into a needed business with the money he has gleaned from American Negroes. VALLEJO. Dec.27.—The magnificent brick building being constructed on the campus of The Vallejo Industrial and Normal Institute, which covers a ground space of 505x80 feet is nearing completion. It consists of six departments for the Elementary and High School work which are being carried on.

Huntington, of Stockton, Calif., for a chicken coop. No tuition is charged, books are free, term consists of nine months, students may remain the year around. OUR FATHER'S AND THEIR SONS By George Duncan. The question that is agitating the minds of the great thinkers of the present day is whether the Negro sons of the present generation and day are equal to their fathers in all that goes to make the man and citizen. The past history of the Negro in the United States has not been perfect sunshine and a calm sea, but he has had many stormy days and experiences in this voyage through the many hardships—he has been toiled hither and thither on a many a rough sea, but notwithstanding the many vexations and hardships of life our wonderful fathers did nobble and accomplished wonders. Taking everything into consideration our fathers thrown out into the world at a time when prejudice was at its height, ignorance reigning supreme throughout a section of the country that had existed and survived on the fruits of their labor for nearly three centuries, their past was black, their future not only baffled them, but the wisest men during that period were at sea regarding the emancipated Negro and his posterity. If at the close of the rebellion the enfranchised citizen had been thrown out upon his own resources and capabilities instead of the sympathies of others, and no resources, the achievements and progress of the Negro would have been greatly different. To much sympathy is a drawback to any race of people who are striving to gain a place with others in life. Fair criticism, honestly administered is for the better for the uplift of any race than deceitful sympathy. In spite of these handicaps and drawbacks that hindered our fathers, they have demonstrated to the world that thru two and a half centuries of slavery, ignorance predominating, poverty stricken, they were capable of the things that go to make a loyal and upright citizen. It is an impossibility, in such a short article, to attempt to enumerate the many great accomplishments of our forefathers or to make note of the many individuals good deeds; but with all the obstacles placed in their path, they have won the admiration of a prejudiced world in trades, sciences and professions. Now I will come to the sons of the fathers and ask the question. What have they accomplished under the tutorship of those whom I have just mentioned? Some say the young Negro has not made as good progress under the prevailing circumstances as his predecessors; some say the young generation is losing instead of gaining, but they fail to give what I consider a plausible reason. It is very true the avenues for business and professional opportunities have with other advantages been in the young man's favor, but we must must also remember that white pride and ambition have been gaining, ignorance and superstition have not been slumbering. High living fast life and insufficient amount of religion have been a great draw-back to the present generation. The greatest ambition of the young Negro is to become a political factor, or rise in some profession that he thinks does not require much mental effort. Politically and professionally, we must admit that the young Negro has played at a losing game for the past quarter of a century. The young Negro must not only try for professional honor, but must attempt every trade and science, so as to prepare to compete with his white brothers, so that great question lies. every other great question that is confronting us at the dawn of the 20th century, must be handled intelligently, must be handled by men, progressive men, men who believe in their country; men who believe that the pathway to independence and commercial supremacy lies before and not behind us. A New Empire is to be built. The young progressive Negro is to build it. We must grow, expand and advance, not only in intellect and finance but in morals and manners as well. In conclusion I will say, Don't forget the parents. I can't help but become enthused when I look back and read the history of the race leaders of the past decade. Their history has been a symposium of national success for the American Negro. Election of officers of the East Side Mothers Club will be held Thursday, January 11th.

ALL 100 PER CENT WITH US We truly hope that our good denominational friends may rise to the plane where they can discriminate between news articles and those which represent the sentiment of a newspaper. We have not the time to select any particular denomination on which to wage any sort of warfare. We are sincerely for and in accord with all of them, for as a rule they are all fundamentally sound. Therefore we cannot be misunderstood at any stage of action. worried at any stage of action. We stand unalterably opposed to the crooks in church even more so than the crooks in state, and will hesitate not to denounce them regardless of denomination or creed. If we be criticized for this stand, we will be satisfied and be on our way of an everlasting warfare against all the forces which would condone crime and encourage crookedness in the name of the church. CLEANING OUR OWN HOME. We have been gradually coming to the opinion that Negroes need to start a house cleaning within their own ranks. All of the wrongs from which we suffer cannot be laid at the door of the other race. Some of the obstacles which beset us are of our own building. Our main difficulty is a lack of responsible, unselfish and sincere leadership. We have had leaders and leaders and we have hundreds of them today. Some have achieved leadership, some have had leadership thrust upon them, and some have thrust themselves upon us. Some are white and some are black. Few of these leaders have shown any inclination to suffer for us, to stay among us and be of us, or to jeopardize their social or economic standing for our betterment or liberation. We have had "words, words, words," but little action and sacrifice except from a very few. There have been Negroes Neville's Drug Store Service Every Second There is no need of going down town to trade when you have an up-to-date DRUG STORE in your neighborhood. WITH DOWN TOWN PRICES. such as Robert Moton—picked by white people and set before the whole twelve millions of us as our leader. There have been black men, such as Marquis Garvey, and white men like Tomas Jesse Jones, who have picked themselves to lead all the Negroes everywhere in the world. There have been countless other Negroes, big, little and middle sized, who have essayed the role of leader. This type is found everywhere. He is of national prominence, a state leader, or the leader of his city. The local leader is usually a lying venal politician, an unscrupulous and ignorant preacher, or a rascally grafting lawyer. Very often these three are found in a ring together, robbing, fooling, submerging and "selling out" the rest of us. Few of our leaders are men who have any degree of passion to serve the mass of Negroes to the point of inconvenience, loss of money or even of time, where there is no remuneration. It is unfortunate that in these days of storm and stress we have no Ghandi and no MacSwiney. The average Negro leader seems t obe perfectly satisfied t ogrow fat and sleek himself even though the mass of his people remain thin and lean. Very often he becomes opulent while they whom he leads remain in ignorance and poverty. Often he places burdens on the plain Negro so grievous to be borne that his plain man cannot rise. Our leaders have no lived close enough to the common people. Usually there develops a great division between the mass of us stumbling darkly down at the bottom and the leaders living in luxury and social and economic security. As a rule this luxury has been provided by black laboring people who often get nothin gin return. The cure for this situation is in the hands of that great horde of Colored men and women upon whose backs this wolfish pack of leaders rest and wax powerful and worthless. We say the cure is in the hands of the ordinary Negro. It is our duty now to assert ourselves and demand more of our leaders than we have asked heretofore. The New Year starts with a real awakening of all peoples along the lines of production and lining up with the mighty march of progress. ```markdown ``` SUMMONS-NO.
