THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE A Very Inspiring Message From Far Off Japan Post Box F. 15 Tokyo, Japan. Friend, I have heard that you work for the cause of the oppressed black brothers. You have, therefore, my most sincere sympathy. I am also not of the snow bleached reddish, whitish taint. However, that is not the cause of my love or regard for you. No! I am man and I also consider you as human brother. I know surface color or is not of any importance. Nor the face of the man is any kind. Due to the inner man. Man is man the same spark of the eternal and he remains the same whether he occupies one body or the other. Bodies are simply products of climate and circumstances. I, therefore, very much wish that we may tokether work for the common cause of establishing Love throughout mankind. This holy work must be approached from highly religious and moral stand point. There is no other way. Any section al unions of the blacks, whites, nations or continents will only produce more misery in our human family. With best wishes, I remain Your friend, MAHENDRA PRATAP (Rajah) OLD WINE IN A NEW BOTTLE On Thursday Evening, February 1st, a little band of Christian workers assembled at the residence of Mrs. Isaac Johnson, 749 Ceres avenue. Dr. H. D. Prowd, recently of Central America, but well-known from a long-residence here, was the guiding spirit of the meeting. Large numbers of loyal Baptists of this community came to together with the view of establishing a new work to fill a great need caused by the constant in-flow of people from other countries. He know of Dr. Prowd's proactivity, an organizer, of his scholarly learning, of his forceful personality; and above all, they realize that his many years of unruling activity in the church field have given him a richness of experience and maturity of judgment too precious to be allowed to lie dormant now, when the need of such spiritual assets is so great. He has passed the fickle stage; the stage of mental uncertainty and turnoil; he is not actuated by worldly ambition. He is inspired now solely by the desire to keep the Baptist banner from trailing in the dust. This institution will hold forth for the first time at the Y. M. C. A. Cor. 9th and Hemlock Sts., Sunday, February 11th—Morning service 11 a.m.; Sunday School, 1 to 2 p.m.; Song Service and B. Y. P.

Uplift Association Meetings Stimulating Uplift Association Meetings Stimulating As a source of stimulus, inspiration and instruction, the meetings being held each Sunday afternoon by the Uplift Association, at $^{10}$ Christian Church, 14th and Brich streets, are well worth regular attendance. Timeily and interesting subjects, political, social, economic and racial, are discussed by eloquent and well-informed speakers. This organization, injecting new blood, as it were, into our social-civic 'i' fills a much felt need. The next meeting will be held at the place above mentioned, Sunday, February 4. 3 p. m. sharp.

She like all her studies and intends to go through high school, but isn't sure what she will do after sat. TENNIS CHATTER W. MELLS WATSON Probably the greatest assurance that the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs' authority and fame is being widely felt and appreciated is by the authentic announcement that a beautiful and valuable jeweled trophy in the form of a huge cup similar to the famous Davis Cup is soon to be given to the Federation as a memorial of the late Mrs. Bertha Miller former member of the Westside Tennis Club and beloved wife of the club's former president, Mr. Lucion Douglas Miller, at whose beautiful 1627 West 35th Place home many never-to-be-forgotten club affairs were held. Details of this priceless donation are to be unfurled at the Federation's next meeting February 7th, but it has already been decided that the cup is tobe contested for annually and the names of winners of Pacific Coast championships will be inscribed thereon and whether for singles, doubles, men's or women's events depends largely upon the views of some of the Fed's best male and female orators at the time of presentation. "Clubhouse Or Bust" At the present rate of speed we're doomed to bustication as so far during the "Clubhouse Or Bust" drive, which has been on for three months there has been but two possible clubhouse sites brought to the committee on location's attention and one of them was from a nonmember. Think of it, we have over 150 clubmembers and one of them was interested enough to get information on a piece of dirt suitable to erect a clubhouse and a pair of courts on. This same 150 slackers are among the biggest yellers that "we'll never get the National Championship Tournament to come West," and we say, certainly not, unless we shake a leg, and get a place to house and entertain them in. Every individual member is expected to look out for a lot 100 by 150 feet and present details to the writer, or the Fed. Now get busy or our energetic Oaklanders will have their proposed clubhouse erected and paid for while we are looking for a land owner to give our money to.

Bertha Miller-Trophy Creates Sensation, Flock of Unanswerable Queries; Fed Meet Wedn'day. By William Mella Watson. Let's lower our heads for a brief while, Comrades—to mourn with Mrs. Josie Hamilton Brooks and illustrious life-mate Clarence Ahart Brooks who are bereaved over the loss of their dear sweet souled mother, that much beloved Mrs. Irene Hamilton of 1591 W. 53th Street, who departed this life Tuesday January 16.

OFFICIAL RAPS MESSENGER EDITORS FOR RACE DIVIDING ATTITUDE. Castigates Them for anti-West Indian Bias In Dealing With Marcus Garvey. Stricking at Race Unity. W. A. Domingo Asks How Negroes Who Deposed Deposition of Whit's Can Advocate It for Own Race. NEW YORK, Jan. 25 — (Crusader Salvific W. A. Domingo, a prominent official of the African Blood Brotherhood and himself listed in The Messenger Magazine as an Associate Editor, has sent the folloy wing open letter to the editors of that publication in protest against their apparent efforts to shoulder upon a group the faults of one of its members. The Open Letter 100 West 143d Street, Naw York City, January 13, 1923. Editors of The Messenger. 2305 Seventh Avenue; New York City; Gentlemen; It is upon the principle that "a man's best friend is one who tells him his faults" that I am moved to write you this letter. I have debated with myself the expediency of so doing since last October, and hesitate upon the supposition that reason would conquer pique and sound public policy outweigh personal prejudices. But as there might be misunderstandings as to my attitude towards some of the newer policies of the magazine on which I am listed as a contributing editor, I am compelled to state my position as clearly and uncompromisingly as possible. I refer to the fight that The Messenger is waging against Garvey and the doctrines that have flowed from this oblique intellect. No one who knows me privately or publicly can accuse me of being in the remotest sence a subscriber to the illogical, race-injuring and dangerous ideas of Mr. Garvey. It is public knowledge and a matter of record that in New York City as early as the Fall of 1918 I raised my voice in protest against the execrable exaggerations, staggering stupidities, blundering bombast and abominable assiminations of our black Barnum, culminating in Thomas Patter and myself being gassaulted, kicked and placed under arrest by Garveyes in the Spring of 1919. Not a bit daunted by my experiences which brought me no fame as a leader, scholar, martyr or orator, I persisted, published and edited The Emancipator, (for which you both wrote) and have not let up a single instant in my unequivocal opposition. CARD OF. THANKS EXTENDED PHILLIPS J. C. M. E. CHURCH Rev. and Mrs. R. W. Underwood wish to express their very deep appreciation and gratitude to the members of Phillip's Chapel C. M. E. Church for the grand reception given them Jan. 25, 1923. We feel very deeply indebted to you. The hospitality that you have shown us shall forever be remembered and we pray God's choicest blessings upon you. We further wish to thank the friends and visitors for their beautiful and complimentary remarks and co-operative spirit. EALY GIVES $1000 BOND PRELIMINARY HEARING FEBRUARY 17TH J. S. Ealey who resides on East 12th St. and who was incarcerated in the City Jail from last Thursday until Tuesday, charged with extortion was released on Tuesday morning and his ball was set at $1,000, which was furnished by friends. His preliminary trial has been set by Justice Follette for February 17th, he has engaged former Judge Warren Williams to defend him. This case has been the cause of glaring headlines in the big dailies for the past week. To our mind it was "much ado about nothing." In the first place Ealey seemed to be but an excuse to start some scandal for political or otherwise. As to Mr. Ealey, let the court try his cafe and see whether or not he was rough hustling for certainly he was not on the inside at least with the police powers. Whether he was otherwise the trial may tell. Certain it is, however, that there has been plenty of publicity to this affair and Ealey even though he falls far short of any sort of leadership or anchorage of any kingdom (even of Central Ave.) can say he gained recognition in big headlines in the big dailies, even if he did have to go to jail to do so. THAT MAN ARNOLD BRANCHES OUT. J. L. Arnold well known and far famed as a man who can satisfy the inner man of his fellow citizens and who conducts the Arnold Grill on Central Ave., has branched out for diversion and the satisfaction of the people who eat and enjoy life and in company with Mr. Mouton has leased the famous Wayside Park near Abila station in Watts. Here in this environment Mr. Arnold and Mouton will conduct a first class resort and each Saturday and Sunday big things will take place along the line of social pleasure and the accommodations expected of a first class place of entertainment. The famous Kild Ory's Jazz, Orchestra and band has been engaged to furnish the music for the season and when Ory's band plays there is always something doing. Mr. Arnold wants the readers of the Soaring Eagle who seek real pleasure after a week of toll to come out to the Wayside Park and at least to give this great entertaining project at least the once over. WILL BLACK RACES RULE WORLD AGAIN? WILL BLACK RACES RULE WORLD AGAIN? REV. OWEN A. TROY-YOUNGEST NEGRO EVANGELIST ON PUBLIC ROSTRUM LECTURES AT E. 36TH STREET CHURCH On Sunday evening, January 28th, Rev. Troy delivered this most interesting Biblical-historical discourse to an interested and appreciative audience. The lecture was illustrated by scenes of that thrilling period of ancient history when Babylonia ruled the world and Beishazzar was king, and when Daniel stepped into the limelight of Biblical fame by interpreting the handwriting on the wall, at the great feast held by the monarch before mentioned. Rev. Troy handled his subject in a masterly manner. He demonstrated cleverly the fact that history from time to time repeats itself. Moreover, in unearthing the early history of Babylon, the Reverend Mr. Troy proved without fear of contradiction that the Sons of Ham (who skinned curved black as a punishment for sin and obedience, as many ancient and modern preachers have sought to maintain: the hue of their skin being a purely physiological phenomenon, due to climatic influences were in reality the fathers of early Roman civilization. The capture of Babylon by the Medes and Persians was graphically portrayed by moving pictures, and in drawing his conclusions, Evangelist Troy proved that if the Black civilization of today is not carried away by the slins and folly of the age, there is a possibility that it will again come to its own. Reverend Troy is a learned scholar, as well as a magnetic speaker, and his lectures are well worth hearing by all interested in the mental as well as spiritual and material progress of the Race. BIG DAY AT FORUM SUNDAY Tomorrow, February 4th quite an innovation as well as diversion will be the procedure at the Forum, at Odd Fellows Hall, 8th and Wall streets. During the session of the regular meeting, a recess will be taken, and the women will go into session in the front hall, while the men remain in session in the regular meeting alone. The occasion will be the special health lectures given by Dr. Ruth Temple for the ladies, and Dr. Leonard Stovall for the men. Nobody can afford to miss Sunday's Forum. Take advantage of this advance in Procedure! IN THE MUSIC WORLD The parents of most children are anxious that they secure a good education and that they learn as much as possible about music and other arts. Without doubt, every child should begin the study of music. We say begin—time will tell whether they should continue or not. In our schools singing is taught to all children and this is very wise. But to return to the parents—they are interested particularly in selecting a good teacher and getting their children started. Getting a good teacher is difficult in some localities but it should be very easy to do in Los Angeles. The parent who has no musical education will have a little difficulty in getting the right teacher. It is not always the highest price, nor the playing of one pupil that gives a positive proof of a good teacher. It is rather the progress and development of the great General Average of this teacher's pupils that determines whether a teacher is a good teacher. Parents must consider this when selecting one. If the teacher gives the impression that she loves her work it is a good sign. One great teacher has said, that there are no good teachers, only good pupils. This is largely true because unless a pupil works hard the best teacher can get no results. The next thing to be considered is the price of lessons. The so-called cheap lesson nearly always means a cheap teacher, and a cheap teacher is one who has had but little training, in the end the cheap lesson is the most expensive. Getting a right start is very important and the first lessons are foundation lessons. One cannot build on a poor foundation. In regulating the price of lessons, many things have to be considered. A music lesson is an individual thing, one person being taught at a time. That fact in itself helps to raise the cost. It requires thousands of dollars and years of training to prepare a good teacher. The investment is so great that the returns will not balance until after years of teaching. Let us say that a child starts at the age of nine—intended for a professional career. The cost of lessons we shall say $1.100 for the first five years and $1.500 for the second five years. In ten years lessons have cost $1250. Counting two lessons a week and fifty weeks to the year. Books, music, etc., $600. Harmony, History, etc., for five years $250.00. A good piano $500. Concerts and recitals about $500.00. Let us add here that all good teachers and students too must hear the great artists at some time and concert going is a part of their education. Piano tuning about $30.00. This brings the amount for ten years up to $2030.00 and this produces a very ordinary teacher. To continue study with a fine teacher will cost the young teacher, from five to ten dollars an hour according to the teacher. She still lacks all knowledge of normal training which will enable her ot impart her knowledge to the young student. This investment has produced so far a poorly equipped teacher, and it will require that this teacher give 2030 lessons at $1.00 each before the investment itself is paid back. This may take two, three or more years. On what will the teacher live during this period? And the progressive teacher will keep on studying. Thus the returns never catch up with the investment until after years of teaching. An honest teacher cannot afford to give away her instruction and so a fair price must be paid for lessons, which may be from $1.00 to $3.00 per lesson according to the experience an qualification of the teacher. Higher instruction calls for higher training and that means more money. Regularity of lessons, systematic practice on the part of the pupil and cooperation with the teacher on the part of the parent will produce the best results. FRIENDS AND FRIENDS! BY: CHANDLER OWEN "Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts" has become a powerful quotation. Never was this injunction' more important than now when such doubtful friends as Thomas Dixon rush to oppose the Ku Klux Klan alongside of honest opponents. James Weldon Johnson says: PETER H. "Thomas. Dixon the author of The Clanman" and "The Birth of a Nation and a large audience at the Century Theatre the other" night denounced the Ku Klux Klan as "THE MOST DANGEROUS MOVEMENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. Mr. Dixon not only denounced the Klan but assumed the role of Defender of the Negro. He condemned in the strongest language possible the anti-Negro activities of the Klan and declared himself "READY TO STAND BESIDE THE HUMBLEST NEGRO AND DEFEND HIM FROM SUCH SAULTS" WITH MY RIFLE IN HAND. "What has happened to Mr. Dixon who more than any single individual in the country made the re-birth of the Ku Klux Klan possible and stimulated anew prejudice against the Negro." We note on many sides an effort to show there was justification for the old Ku Klux Klan, but none for the present Klan. Is there any sound this claim? Let us see. In a splendid piece of research collected by one of The passenger's contributors, (which will appear in complete form later), Mr. J. A. Rogers presented the testimony of leading witnesses of the activities of the Klan as follows: "James G. Blaine says: "In prosecuting their purposes these Klans and organizations hesitated at no cruelty, were deterred by no considerations of law or humanity. They rode by night, were disguised with masks, were armed as free-booters. They whipped, maimed or murdered the victim of their wrath. White men who were co-operating with the colored population, politically, were visited with punishments of excessive cruelty. It was difficult to arrest the authors of these flagrant wrongs. Aside from their disguises, they were protected against inculpating testimony by the fear inspired in the minds of the portion of the white race who were not willing to join in their excesses. It was well said of he leading members of the klans that 'murder with them was an occupation and perjury a fastime.' "The white man who should give testimony, against them did so at the risk of seeing his house burned, of himself being beaten with many stripes; and if the offender had been at all efficient in his hostility he was, at or torture, in many instances doomed to death." "Gen. Holden, governor of North Carolina, in his annual message to the legislature in 1870, said: "The members of the klan, under orders of their chief, had ridden through many neighborhoods at night and had punished free citizens on account of their political opinion and had so terrified many of them by threats of future visitations of vengeance that they fed from their houses and took refuge in the woods." "The document goes on to tell how state representatives were murdered or driven-from the state, how white women teachers were whipped; how sheriff and judges were shot, how the Stars and Stripes were torn down, how Negroes were thrown into the river with stones around their necks. "Some of these victims," says the governor, "were shot; some of them tortured; some of them had their mouths lacerated; one of them had his ear cropped, and others of both sexes were subjected to indignities which were disgraceful, not merely to civilization, but to humanity as well. "In fine, gentlemen, there was no remedy for these evil through the civil law and but for the use of military arms to which I was compelled to resort, the whole fabric of society in this state would have been destroyed and a reign of lawlessness and anarchy would have been established." "Albion W. Tourgee, judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina, (1863-1875) says in his books: "A Fool's Errand." "Of the stain there were enough to furnish forth a battlefield and all from the three classes, the Negro, the sca-law, and the carpet-bagger—all kill ed with deliberation, overwhelmed by numbers, roused from slumber at the murk midnight, in the hall of public assembly, upon the river-brink, on the lonely woods-road, in simulation of the public execution—shot, stabbed, hanged, drowned, mutilated beyond description, tortured beyond conception. And almost always by an unknown hand! Only the terrible mysterious fact of death was certain. Accusation by secret denunciation; sentence without hearing; execution without warning, mercy or appeal. In deaths alone, terrible beyond utterance; but in the manner of death—the secret, intangible doom from which fate springs—more terrible still; in the treachery which made the neighbor a disguised assassin, most horrible of all the feuds, and hated which history portrays. And then the wounded, the whipped, the mangled, the bleeding, the torn! men despoiled of manhood! women gravid with dead children! bleeding backs! Ah, the wounded in this silent warfare were more thousands than those who groomed upon the slopes of Gettysburg." "Herace Greely said in the New York Tribune (June 16, 1571): "The all fours of the Klan are the court-house and tavern politicians, and the rank and file is composed of the idle, ignorant, worthless, poor white element, which is unquestionably the worst class of people to be found anywhere in the United States. They are deplorably ignorant, but have no desire for education for themselves or their children. They are wretchedly poor but the desire for wealth never stimulates them to steady labor. Their lack of ambition to better their condition, they are coarse, cruel and vindictive, and in every way deserve the appelation of "low down, people."" "When the klansmen were brought to trial the ablest counsel in the South were provided for them. Reverdy Johnson, U. S. Senator from Maryland, and a bitter foe of Negro suffrage, was senior counsel. During the most astonishing spectacles that have most been witnessed in a court of justice. So atrocious, so staggering and revolting were the cruelties proven against, and confessed by, the klansmen, that Reverdy Johnson, not only refused to plead for them, but denounced his own clients in the severest language in open court. Addressing the prosecution, he said: "I have listened with unmixed horror to some of the testimony which has been brought before you. The outrages proved were shocking to humanity, they admit of neither excuse nor justification, they violate every obligation which law and mature impose woman; they show that the parties engaged were brutes insensible to the obligations of humanity and religion." Some forty to fifty thousand persons were put to death by the Klan and a greater number outraged. "Is there any reason at all to justify the existence of these midnight moccasins and prowling hyenas of 1865 to 1872? And do you, gentle reader, expect to permit fifty thousand men, women and children to be murdered by the present Klan before it is checked?" While we ar ebitter opponents of the present Ku Klux Klan, we do not hesitate to say that when compared with the venomous viper of Re-construction it is "a shining angel of light." Which is saying nothing good for either of them!

Two men, one of whom, said to have been a victim of hallucination that he had been ordained to clean up vice conditions, with wheels buzzing in his head, shot down a policeman in cold blood—is now in jail awaiting trial for murder; the other, so they say, desirous of closing up on everything, for his own self aggrandizement, is now awaiting trial on a felony charge. It cannot be gainsaid that both of these gentlemen got a "kick" out of the situation—even though it was a back-handed kick! GOVERNOR RICHARDSON DELIVERS. The biennial budget that has been so eagerly awaited, and which has had all the statesmen in Sacramento in the air for the last few weeks, has at last been given out by Governor Friend W. Richardson. The budget discloses the fact that he is living up to pre-election promises and is cleaving to the line of real economy. Right off the reel he cuts off more than twelve million dollars from the budget of two years ago. Instead of economy upward, the new governor hands out a program of economy downward. At first glance it will be discerned that he not only saves the taxpayers real money, but in so doing he impairs none of the vital institutions of the state. Especially is this so as regards our educational institutions. Jut how far-reaching this program will be, with reference to the individual, remains to be seen. At any rate, many state employees are just now in fear and trepidation—lest they be separated from their jobs. ON THE RIGHT TRAIL When the Superintendent of Negro Baptist Work, W. R. Carter started his campaign against the Soaring Eagle, he failed to measure his distance, and reckon with the fact that we would fight back, to his discomfiture. But now he surely has another thought coming. The score or more of letters, to says nothing of the personal commendations we have received, suffice to make us sure of our ground, to assure us that we are rendering a real service to the Race. Next week we will publish letters from Baptist Divines, along the line of the Superintendent's methods in California and elsewhere. This week's letter from Ira Smith, "Who's a Cat's Paw?" is also interesting reading. TWO LINES OF PRODUCTION. The Forum on last Sunday departed from the frivolous practice of allowing itself to be entertained by frivolous discussion and refusing to express its stand on law and order, and really listened to and witnessed a practical demonstration along lines of actual production. The J. A. McCall Company, recently organized coffee and spice company, exhibited a display of its wares, and laid before the people assembled a genuine proposition, which, if followed up, will mean a real organiziation, which will stand for much in this community. There is absolutely no reason why such undertakings as this should not receive the heartiest support of all of our people. We have within us the power to build up ourselves, if we can only be brought to realize the same.

ER BETTER THAN THE BEST os hair from falling and starts it WHO'S A CAT'S PAW? The Mother Bird asked the question "What's the matter with the Superintendent of Negro Baptist Work?" We are unable to diagnose the case and will have to answer the query by asking another, "What is NOT the matter with the Superintendent of Negro work of the Baptists of Southern California?" Glancing down the comment under the above caption of the article which appeared in the California Eagle, we note that this writer was referred to by the superintendent as being used as a cat's paw, which accusation we not only sternly deny but brand as being wilful and malicious. The article which appeared in a recent issue of The San Diego Eagle was penned by as and represents our sentiment in regard to Negroes playing the role of "Friday" for the white man. The article was written without the knowledge or consent of any one and we venture to say had it been left to the owner of the Eagle, no doubt the mask never would have been lifted from the face of the energetic superintendent, as she has always pleaded his cause and has thrown the mantle of charity around him on numerous occasions when we were employed on the old Bird in Los Angeles, netwithstanding the fact that Prof. Carter has gone out of the way fight the California Eagle and delighted in taking work to white printers and to shops that contributed nothing to the Baptists and their cause. The writer has known Prof. Wm. R. Carter for a number of years. We were in Kansas when he came and we were there when he left. We saw him and his Alabama method of dealing with white people bring to the State of John Brown, jim crow schools and saw him squirt his poison of discrimination into the mids of the white people until they became so inoculated that the colored people had to maintain a strong lobby at each session of the legislature in order to keep their children from being legislated out of the state schools and compelled to attend an institution set up by Mr. Carter. He went on to send letters to members of the legislature, and made his institution the state school for Negroes and thus bar race boys and girls from the other institutions which they paid taxes to maintain. We wrote against his ideas then as we are doing now and will continue to do so long as he travels over the country grinning in the face of the Negro and whispering into the ear of the white man to segregate him and live him institutions of his own. We want to serve notice on the people of California here and now, that if they do not in some way talk this fellow out of his Jim Crow ideas or muzzle him, in the next four years, you will be forced to segregate in California, with W. R. Carter prancing up and down the legislative halls button-holing and begging white men to pass a bill carrying a guantic appropriation for the maintenance of same. Yes, we were in Kansas when Carter came, we were bred and born in the state and we were there when he left. We left two years ago with a record clean as a hound's tooth, and a big welcome awaits us on our return, but we can't say as much for the distinguished superintendent of Negro work. We were for twenty-two years manager and associate editor of Colonel Nick Chil' Topeka Plaindealer and can claim as friends such as Senator Capper, Congressman Dan R. Anthony, ex Mayor J. E. House and the present mayor of the city of Topeka, Rob Hurbert, J. Corynine and any reputable business man in that city to whom we would delight in having someone write and make inquiries as to the character and standing of the writer and the superintendent of Negro work. The life we lived in Kansas is an open book and we have never had any threatening court proceedings against us. We have never given any checks to keep from being brought before the public for any act, word or deed and we venture the assertion that it wouldn't be well for any man or woman to go to the city of Topeka and accuse this writer of being a cat's paw. Mrs. Base, the owner of the two Magas is one of the finest and best women it has been our good fortune to come in contact with, and the only institution that we might find of her is the fact that she, the owner of a small newspaper like the California Times, would close up like a dam and permit Kansas to dump her unsuspecting people on the unsuspecting people of California. She should have more courage to remove the mask of the diamond of the mind, womans eyes in the face with the exquisite of leading the people that they present a clean bill from the land from whence they come. We do not know how the members of the church to which Mrs. Bass is a member received the attack made upon her by Prof. Carter, but we do say this that it is high time that our people recognised people for their moral worth, true character and that which they are contributing to the race as a whole and the community in which they live. The man who made this attack upon this woman has never contributed ten cents to the uplift of the race. He hasn't even promoted as much as a peanut roaster, in Kansas as in California, he traversed from one end of the state to the ether begging and painhandling that he might feather his own nest and thereby live in luxury and ease, while those of his race about him could sink or swim. We believe however that his remarks fell like a wet blanket upon the members of Second Baptist Church. This highly cultured congregation is under the leadership of that talented and splendid divine, Dr. T. L. Griffith, and they are fully aware and fully capable of understanding, and know of the contributions of each of these individuals to he uplift and advancement of the race, hence we feel that in the minds of these people, the Professor has made several steps to the rear. We hope that the Professor in the future when he thinks of cat's paw will reflect back and look over our pedigree and that splendid record that we left behind in us Kansas and compare this with that of his own and if he is not satisfied or if he still thinks we are acting in the capacity of a cat's paw. we will drop a line back and we will dig deep into the consent have them read before the same congregation before whom he attacked Mrs. Bass and this writer.

NATION WIDE INTEREST SHOWN IN ORGANIZATION'S CALL FOR UNITED FRONT Many Newspapers Editorialize on Significance of Event—Equal Rights League Praised for Initiating Move. NEW YORK, Feb. 1, (Crusader Service). The act of the National Equal Rights League in initiating a movement toward the achievement of a United Negro Front by inviting to a preliminary council the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the International Uplift League and the African Blood Brotherhood has constituted one of the principal topics for editorial comment, during which the night the initiative to a preliminary conference, sent out in the month of December and made public early, in January, has won praises from all sources, and many editors express the opinion that a new era in race statesmanship is dawning. The plan is to have the four or five leading, Negro organizations meet in a preliminary conference to lay out, in preparation, the plan to all Negro organisations for a General Conference to be held at a time and place to be decided upon. FOR ALLEGED ASSASSINS OF DR. EASON. $200 Subscribed So Fan—Negro World Says "Everybody Must Subscribe." NEW YORK, Jan.—(Crusader Service). A Defence Fund has been launched by Marcen Garvey in his newspaper, the Negro World, for the two members of his New Orleans Branch now under arrest charged with killing Dr. J. W. H. Eason, Garvey opponent and one of the principal witnesses to have been called against Marcus Garvey in the Federal case charging him with using the United States mails to deceive and defraud. So far two hundred dollars has been subscribed to the Fund, according to the current issue of The Negro World, which carries an article calling upon "everybody" to subscribe to this fund. RANGOON BOYCOTTS POLLS AT ELECTION Burmese Back Ghandi's Non-Co-operative Movement Against British Mislure. RANGOON, Feb. 1—(Crusader Service.) Lack of violence and lightness of voting marked the first election of the Burmah Legislative Council held under the Burmah Reforms Act. Early reports from various parts of the province indicate that less than one-third the registered voters went to the polls. Although a split in the ranks of the Nationalists prevented the carrying out of an organized boycott, several attempts were made to prevent the people from casing votes. Manifestoes signed by boycotters were distributed among the people and posted in many parts of Rangoon. ATTACKS ALIENS, REMINDED OF NATIVE MORONS NEW YORK, Feb. 1—(Crusader Service.) Charging aliens with much of the lawlessness in the country, and demanding rights of citizenship be denied to immigrants until they are fully fitted to understand and discharge the duties of citizenship involved, Judge A. T. Clearwater of Kingston, N. Y., speaking before the New York State Bar Association, caused Louis Marshall, associate of Samuel Untermyer, to challenge the superiority of native-born citizens. "What about the outrage at Mer Rouge, La.?" demanded Mr. Marshall, after Judge Clearwater had got rid of his tirade against foreigners. "What was the nationality of the men involved in the slaying of innocent citizens" "And what about the members of the bar and bench who trample underfoot the Constitutions of the States and the Nation?" "Why don't we have something to say about native-born citizens? What about the morons of New England?" followed up Mr. Marshall, as His Honor or crumpled up, speechless, in his chair. THE CENTENARIAN Some time while motoring out Pomona way, I stopped at the little old white washed cabin nestled closely under the fig and walnut trees that cast their shade over the drooping eve. It stood at the very extreme end of South Main Street. It was the Master's will that they, the occupants, should have a clear view towards the South, the land of their birth. Come with me now if you will, as I saucer along. South Main Street. I can go no further without jumping a choosy to do that. I turned east, about 100 feet away. There sitting to the left of me, all hilted against the old cabin is a figure, such as I suppose Miss Creamer, the sculptress, speaks of. I stop. She is not looking my way. I fear to speak lest I wake her from a dream that is no doubt sweet. For fully five minutes I stand with my arm resting on the fence. Then she turns. I am now in her line of vision. I doff my cap. "Good evening'mam." "Good evening'madied southern second." "Good evening!" an accent, "good evening." I draw two or three more leads to draw two conversations, but without success and why. She is no different from other Gwinness I have known, but away out there at the end of the road she seems different. She gets up with great effort and with greater effort walks to the door, leaving me standing there thinking that she considered my room better than my maddiesome company. I turn and am about to be on my way, when, I, I hear that same voice say, "Grandpa!" Therein lies the secret of her reticence. Suffrage means nothing of her. Grandpa will solve all her problems. In answer to her call a griffin voice answers, "See, what is it?" Next a shuffling within, as though somebody was making speedy preparations for something sthier. I stood there, not knowing whether I had visited the sanctity of their home by daring to stop at the fence. Expectantly I stood with my imagination working over time as the app pearance of Grandpa. I did not have long to wait, for the shuffling transferred itself to the traps of the house. I turned in that direction. There coming around the house is Grandpa on his face a smile, hair a pale yellow, eyes seemingly bright, slightly bent and walking with the aid of a hickory stick. "Howdy, Stir. my name's—." "Mine's George Washington." "Pleased to meet you Mr. Washington." After formalities I asked "Been here long?" "Since 87." From where?" "Texas." How old! I'm 110 and I remember when the star's fall, fit in three wars and never was sick a day in my life except when I could not get a today." (And I might mention in that he is not unlike the venerable Mr. C. F. Ames of Altedena, who is 105 and still going strong.) "Grandma and me have been together for over 60 years and don't intend to ever die." To these and many more questions that were put to him he answered astoundingly. I said goodbye. For about the length of time Grandpa followed me around the fence, looking after me. I'm down the road some distance when he calls: "Hey! never look for trouble, it'll find you!" And I go my way thinking what an inspiration I had had. TWO OF MER ROULE MURDERERS IDENTIFIED Bastrop Witness Saw Skipwith's Son and F. S. Smith Among Kidnappers. BASTROP, La., Feb. 1.—(Crusader Service, The truck that carried Watt Daniel and Thomas F. Richards to their death was identified today at the open hearing and two of the black-hooded men who were on it were named as Oliver Skipwith, son of Captain Skipwith, Exalted Cyclops of the Morehouse Klan, and F. S. Smith, owner of the truck, by a State witness, H. E. Blankenship.

He positively identified Smith and young Skipwith. BARTLETT SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN RECITAL Twenty pupils of Elmer C. Bartlett appeared in a piano recital, Sunday afternoon January 28th at the Bartlett studio. $368 East Pico Street. One of the main events of the program was a major scale spelling contest, away from the piano. Two prizes were offered for scale-spelling and one prize for the pupil rendering his solo the best. Mary Jane Clark won first prize and Willie Folk, second prize for scale-spelling. Sarah Wilson took the prize offered for the best performance of a solo, playing "Bohemian dance" by Tachikowsky, "Mazurka" by Handel and "Bupa Vanant" by Vanant. One of the requirements to appear on program was that all pieces had to be memorized since the opening of the winter term in October. Pupils of the Bartlett. School of Music are required to appear on programs, as that helps to cure pupils of timidity and stage fright. Viola Norton and Thelma Valentine rendered very lovely vocal solos. Many of the pupils parents and guardians were present and enjoyed the program. Catholic Editor and Walter White Warned by New York Klan. NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—(Crusader Service.) Henry Ford is to let the world know his sympathy for the Ku Klux Klan at a big meeting in or near New York in the near future, record-keeping King Kleagle of the Invisible Empire hereabouts at a secret meeting held by the Kluxers in the Bronx Friday night. At the same meeting, declaring that "we took an oath to protect our order with our lives" the King Keagle issued warning to the Khamsan against several individuals, including Mr. Sochanian editor of the Catholic Tablet; Mr. Walter White of the N. A. A. C. P. and. Mr. Bell. The King Klagge beasted of the success of the Klan in having the "Birth of a Nation" revived in New York recently, and declared "Later on we shall get everything we want in the same way. As soon as we will a few more seats in the hall of legislation we shall strike in forty-eight States at once. Then let us see who can or will dare to stop us."

EURROPE NEAR CHAOS, SAYS SIR ROBT. HORNE. France's Action in Ruhr May Wreck White Civilization, Ex-Chancellor Assets. LONDON, Feb. 1.—(Crusader Service) A collapse of European civilization (in colored countries known as European syphilization) such as the world has never known may be the result of France's action in the Ruhr, said Sir Robert Horne, former Chancellor of the British Exchequer, in an address yesterday at a luncheon of the English-speaking Union. Expressly pointing out the view of the presentation, Sir Robert pointed out that what was necessary was to make German capitalists believe Germany was a country safe for them. No confidence in Germany could be created, he said, "If you begin to seize by force any of the material upon which Germany depends to carry on her trade." "Now, that is my point of view," he said, "aid I am glad to say that point of view is shared in this great country of practical people. We may both be wrong. I hope we are wrong. But if we are right you are going to see very soon in Europe a collapse of the organization of civilized society on that continent such as the world has never known." WHIP TWO IN ARKANSAS LITTLE ROCK, Feb. 1—(Crusader Service) Two men were whipped at Heber Springs yesterday and ordered from town. The men are white and alleged strike sympathizers. Another white man was lynched here several days ago, and a number of strikers beaten up by irate mobs organized and incited by the capitalist press. Los Angeles, Jan. 25—The Motion Picture industry is going to have a real Queen, elected by popular vote. Her autonomy will extend over the Premiere of the American Historical Revue and Motion Picture Exposition to be given next summer as a great international celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine. She will probably share her regal honors with President Harding, who is expected to be present for the formal opening of the Monroe Doctrine Centennial. Since the Motion Picture Industry is sponsoring the Revue and Exposition, it has been decided to let those of the industry select the Queen of events for the opening night. The lucky gift winning this honor will ride in state in the electrical parade preceding the opening; she will preside at the opening ball and lead the grand march with the Governor or some other high dignitary; she will have a prominent part with President Harding in the official opening ceremonies; and she will preside at the Exposition breakfast to be given at dawn following the night of festivities that will mark the opening to the public of the 30-day celebration A great deal of rivalry is expected among various beauties of the local film colony for the honor of presiding it is thought each studio will have a at the Revue and Exposition Premiere, candidate and the keenest competition is anticipated. The Vesper Services at the East side Mother's home were very interesting. Mrs. J. H. Shackilford was the speaker and brought words of wisdom and encouragement to the children. The work were excellent and all joined in to make the meeting a success. Mrs. Alles Patton will be the next speaker, the last Sunday in February. All are welcome. [Name] By Dr. E. B. Lewis, Physician and Surgeon, 1918-12 E. 9th St. L. A. Amongst the highest functions of the higher education of men and women, may be mentioned that function of teaching the self-preservation of the body from the various human distempers that creep insidiously into the vitals of the human system. For this reason, the Negro Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists, must measure up to the standard of the professional requirements than any other calling among the Negro race. The above named body of men and women must exemplify the scientific requirements of their office, both by scholastic training and by public examinations. They are subjected to precisely the same test as their white confrerts, and must also stand the concrete test of practical results. If the Negro practitioner could not grapple with all manner of diseases, and effect a reasonable per centage of cures, he would be eliminated from the profession by comparison. Race prejudice may indeed have some compassing advantages to off-set its many disadvantages. The Negro physicist, preformed by his patient on account of sympathy; but after all has been raised and done, the physician who effects the highest per cent, of cures will be preferred and the one who falls below the average will be left out. Appal to race prejudice will not serve him. The physician must dispense and prescribe for disease; the dentist; must treat the teeth; the druggist must, compound prescriptions according to the scientific formulas of his calling or be detected and discredited by the disclosure of results. The smallest vindication of the higher education of the race is here afforded. There no longer exists the greatest doubt that Negroes in requisite numbers do master the more inordinate phases of knowledge and apply them to the practical issues of life. Negro physicians dominate the professional needs for the race. While it is true that white physicians still treat many Negro patients, the more propprobes and intelligent of the race patronize their own color for medical treatment. In many communities a colored family would have to apologize for employing a white physician. The number of Negro physicians, dentists and pharmacists is not nearly large enough to meet the demand. The young Negro collegian is now pulling into the medical profession at a disproportionate rate. Not only is the remunition attractive, but the dignity of the profession is also appealing. There is little need to fear that the field will become overapplied. When the quota has been filled so to bring the honor and reward to the level of other callings, the tide will naturally turn in other directions. The functions of the Negro physician is second to none in importance. Health lies at the basis of all human accomplish. The lower economic and industrial state of the race renders it an easy prey to disease. The health of the Negro is an important factor in the public health of the nation. To the Negro physician is entrusted the physical wall being of a part of the population which resists importance and wear. The interconnected and efficiency of work cannot be limited to any compartment of race. If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. The disease of the Negro improperly diagnosed or treated, may spread to the whole community. Disease is proof positive of the kinship of man. One touch of nature makes the whole world akin. There is not much room for fundamental, everlasting, and inescapable difference here. The service of the Negro physician is largely uncompensated and altruistic. The neglected and rejected element of the race are the easiest prey to disease. Those who stand in greatest need of treatment have least ability to pay. The Negro physician gets paid for only a fraction of what he does. But after all, the highest reward does not consist in the coin of the realm, but in the conscientious performance of duty. Each week I shall attempt to bring to your attention through this paper various articles on medical, hygienic and sanitation subjects that will be of general interest to the public. MURDER CHINESE LAUNDRYMAN NEW YORK, Feb. 1—(Crusader Service.) George Ton, forty, a Chinese Laundryman, died in Harlem Hospital at midnight from a bullet wound inflicted by one of two race men who attempted to rob his shop at No. 274 West 143rd Street at 11:00 o'clock last night. A passerby saw Ton lying behind a little wicket gate in his place, and summoned the police. "The Negroes—they shoot," Ton said and relapsed into unconsciousness. Police say he evidently slammed the gate in his assailants' faces, and then was shot. Chicanery and trickery were resorted to, as might have been expected, in the now well-known Valentine case. According to Mr. Valentine, the case was set for January 12th, in Judge McCormick's Court, Department 12. Mr. Valentine and his witnesses duly appeared at that time and place; it seemed that another trial was in progress; and when, after some time, Mr. Valentine inquired, when his case was to be called, he was informed that it had been transferred to Department 14. When he went thither, he was further informed that the case had been called, but, inasmuch as no one had appeared on behalf of Valentine, the case had been thrown out of court! Mr. Valentine wishes to express his most sincere appreciation to his friends and well-wishers and the public for aid and co-operation during this litigation. RACE CLASH FEARED IN INDIANA RACE CLASH FEARED IN INDIANA White Miners at Blanford Threaten Colored Residents After Alleged Attack by Negro on Young Girl. BLANFORD, Ind.

Other Negroes have declined to trek, and have barricaded their houses for defence in case of attack. LEADERS TO ANTI-LYNCHING CONFERENCE: MEETING FOR UNITED PROGRAM TO BE NELD BOON.

It has been some time since Batoula, the book by Rene Maran, which won the Prix de Goncourt as the best novel of the year in France, was published. And there have been reviews in periodicals throughout this country and abroad. Nevertheless, we will add another with the hope that more readers will become familiar with this famous work. M. Maran is a native African who was educated in France. In his book he shows a breadth of knowledge. He is a philosopher, poet, and master writer. His work depicts life as it is in the particular region where the scene of the novel is laid. The work is written impersonally, but in the preface M. Maran makes a very strong protest against the atrocities committed by the French against the natives. Technically speaking, this book is not a novel, but rather "a series of etchings." Yet, there is woven a story so strange, pictures so pathetic and beautiful, that it will live forever in the hearts of all readers. "Civilization, civilization, pride of the Europeans and channel-house of innocents, Rabindranath Tabore, the Hindu poet, once, at Tokio, told what you were! "You have built your kingdom on corpse. Whatever you wish, what, ever you do, you move in lies. At sight of you, gushing tears, shrieks of agony. You are might prevailing over right. You are not a torch, you are a conflagration. You devour whatever you touch. "My book is not a pplemic. It comes, by chance, when its hour strikes. The Negro question is of the present. Who made it that? Why, the Americans. Why, the press campaigns on the other side of the Rhine...." The scene of the novel is laid in Ubangi-Shari, one of the four colonies comprising the French, Congo, or French Equatorial Africa. It is bounded on the south by the Ubangi River, on the east by the watershed of the Congo and the Nile, on the north and west by the watershed of the Congo and the Shari. Thus, the author gives us the background. There is much description in the first part of the book; the hut where Batouala lives; of Yassigundia, his favorite yassi or wife; of Djouma, the chieftain's dog, chickens, ducks and goats. With the description of Batouala's peaceful village and his awakening, and thoughts, Maran includes this bit of philosophy, when the mokoundi chief arose: "Scratching is a splendid exercise. It sets the blood in circulation. It is a pleasure, and it also points to some- BOOK REVIEWS BATOUALA Winner of the Prix de Gencourt. By Rone Maran.

It was a good example to follow, since a natural one. It is a bod waking up for a man who doesn't scratch himself. "But, if scratching was good, yawning was still better. It was a means of chasing sleep away through the mouth. "This supernatural manifestation was easy to account for. In the cold days, didn't everybody breathe out a sort of smoke? Which proves, among other things, that sleep is only a sort of private fire. He, Batouals, was sure of it." In the description of the ceremony of the circumcision, M. Maran shows himself a master of words. The preparation, the people, the dance, are handled as very few writers can. Note this: "Little by little the sky had turned an ashen grey, then the color of laterite. "The wind blew up, sudden, sultry. The flies began to buzz, the flies, the flies, everywhere. "One by one the birds fell into silence. One by one the kites disappeared. "Great wan clouds rose from behind the kagas. They came blown at the will of the aerial currents, piling up, gathering in denser and denser masses. "Presently, a hidden force drove them toward the Bembe. "They hurried on, blacker than coal, tangled at the edges, jostling, thronging, straddling one another, galloping like buffaloes fleeing before the brush fires. "Forked streaks split the whole mass of them. And the echoes rumbled with the detonations of the thunder." It is during the dance that Betouala learns that Bissibingu, a "handsome, young man, strong, well-built," was being encouraged by his favorite Yassguindja. So Betouala decided to kill the youth by "making the panther." That is to say, like "Mouron, the panther, the cruel beast that roamed the brush, especially on moonlight nights. "With fang and claw he slowly ripped his victim open, and tore it to pieces....." But the chief never carried out his intention, it was during a great hunt, customary at that time of the year, when huge fires ran the beasts from their abodes, that Betouala is struck by a fleeting panther.

And at last Bissibingul and Yassiguldua deserted him. All, save Djouma, his little faithful dog. Bataoula in delirium talked incessantly: "And for the last time, in his delirium, he told over all the things he had against the whites—their lying, their cruelty, their illogicality, their hypocrisy. There were neither Bandas nor Manjias, neither whites nor blacks. There were nothing but men. And all men were brothers," BOOK CHAT MARY WHITE OVINGTON, CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANGEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE "Libraries and Book Lovers' Clubs." With the new year we are all making resolutions and a resolution that I wish the readers of Book Chat, would make, is to read more books. Newspapers and magazines are all very well in their way, for recording of transient happenings we could not do without them, but after all the challenge to thought comes chiefly with the leisure, delibrate turning over of the pages of a good book. In a good light, settled back in a comfortable chair, we take our time mulling over the reasoning of the essayist or following the fate of the hero. There is no loneliness to one who knows the companionship of books. I have, for over a year now, pointed out the important books, upon the Nego question and urged my readers to buy them, when they could. I like to think that the book shelves in many homes are growing in number and that publishers are learning that there is a purchasing Negro-public. But there are other means of getting at books than the buying of each one desired. There are book clubs and libraries. To take the public library first. It should be the business of the colored citizen of a town that has a free public library (a really free one) to see that new books on the Negro are bought for it. This, I think any one will find who has tried, is not usually difficult. First, you want to be a good borrower. I mean a steady borrower of books who does not let the volumes become overdue but returns them on time. Having established yourself as a responsible reader, you have only to call the attention of the librarian to the book you want to have her anxious to buy it for you. Librarians are only too glad to find intelligent borrowers.

Back of them is a Board that may prove parsimonious, but be sure the librarian counts as meat and drink the intelligent demand by the public for serious literature. The N. A. A. C. P. will shortly publish a list of the books that I have reviewed in Book Chat. By sending a two cent stamp, this list will be mailed to you. Why not take such a list into your public library, see what books the library has purchased and what are missing, and endeavor to have the missing books ordered? It would help you and the reading of the books would educate the public. The second method of getting books is through Book Lovers Clubs. I imagine such clubs have existed ever since books were printed. Book Lovers pool their resources, and buying books, exchange them one with another. People are especially given to this who live in small places. Supposing this past year, you have lived where there was no public library, have wanted especially to read "Dark Water," "The Book of Negro Verse," "Birthright," "White and Black," "The Soul of John Brown," and "Harlem Shadows," and have had only two dollars in your pocket book. The way to compass your desire is to get five other people, equally desirous of reading these volumes and equally impeccunions. Then let each buy a volume and your library is complete. It is a lending library, only one volume remaining with you at the last, but it has given you what you desired and has added to the education of six people. Incidentally it will lead to much good fellowship. No one should be invited into a Book Lovers' Club who does not value books, and who does not appreciate the sacredness of their ownership. To borrow a book and not return it, this is one of the seven deadly sins and the most common of the seven! Keep such people out of a Book Lovers' Club, that is, if there are enough people left in the world to form a club with. Sir Walter Scott's old squab still holds true. On lending a book he said: "And please return it, for I find that while many of my friends are poor arithmeticians, they are nearly all of them good bookkeepers." CHARGE ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT RAILROADED NEGRO PEONS TO DEATH SENTENCE AFTER RIOTS. MOORFIELD STORY FILES BRIEF WITH U. S. SUPREME COURT ON ARKANSAS RIOT CASES. one Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association and dru giant now president of the National Assoc ation for the Advancement of Colored People, on Tuesday, January 9th, appeared before the United States Supreme Court to argue appeals in behalf of Negro peons condemned to death in connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919. In the course of the brief appealing against sentence of death imposed upon five of the Nefroes, sensational charges are made involving the Courts of the State of Arkansas; newspapers; leading citizens; Rotary Club; Robert L. Kitchens Post, American Legion; and other organizations of Helena, Arkansas; all of whom are charged with having tried to railroad the Negroes to death, torture being employed to make the prisoners testify falsely, mob hysteria dominating their trial which is alleged to have taken place in less than an hour. The cases arose out of an attempt by Negro farmers to organise and obtain legal redress against peonage or debt slavery under the share cropping system prevalent in Arkansas. The Negroes were accused of a "plot to massacre whites" and, according to the brief, "a large number of white men armed themselves and rushed to the scene of the trouble and to adjacent regions and began the indiscriminate hunting, shooting and killing of Negroes." "We have distinct evidence," says the brief, "that all Negroes at that time were in danger of their lives, and that two hundred or three hundred men were killed.—There can be no question that the citizens of Helena were determined that these men should be convicted, and that they manufactured the evidence for the purpose; and for the court (Arkansas Supreme Court) to say that they cannot assume that they necessarily did not have a fair trial shows clearly that the Supreme Court of Arkansas was itself influenced by the same feeling that influenced the leaders of society throughout the region where these tragedies occurred." The brief further recites that the conduct of the case against the convicted Negroes constitutes a series of outrages "than which it is hard to imagine worse." Testimony is cited of H. F. Smiddy and T. K. Jones, the former deputy sheriff of Phillips County, Arkansas, the latter a special agent for the Missouri Pacific Rathroad, both white, who were members of the sheriffs posse and swore that the white man, for whose murder the Negroes were convicted, was killed by members of the posse, and that Negroes had nothing to do with the murder. They further swore that they personally whipped the prisoners with struts studded with metal, put strangling drugs in their nostrils and forced the Negroes to sit in an electric chair.

The summary of the conditions under which the Arkansas trials were conducted is as follows in the brief: Has Nothing to Lose and in Coming Conflict—Whi tialism Tottering—New D ing. By C. Valentine for Cru "We have the whole community inflamed against the defendants, prepared themselves to lynch them, only refraining from so doing because they are assured by leading citizens that the trial should accomplish the same purposes, a condition of things where no man who was on that jury and had ventured to vote for acquittal or delay could have lived in Phillips County, according to the testimony of one of the men who engaged in the business of manufacturing evidence for the State. We have false statements printed in the newspapers; we have society substantially organized to convict these people; and more than that, we have witnesses. deliberately terrorized and forced on pain of death or torture to give false testimony. We have the testimony of the witnesses themselves that they were so terrorized and that their testimony was false. We have the testimony of the men who inflicted the torture, we have a mass of evidence which shows, if evidence can show anything, that the defendants never had a fair trial and in fact that they are innocent. As to some of them there is no evidence as to any act or word except that they were with a gang of Negroes assembled to all purposes for self defense." Among the organizations named as fomenting the state of feeling in which the Negroes were convicted are: Richard L. Kitchens Post American Legion, the Helena Rotary Club, Lions Club of Helena, and the Committee of Seven appointed at the time of the riots by the Governor of Arkansas. Associated with Mr. Moorfield Storey before the Supreme Court, is Mr. Sciplo A. Jones of Little Rock, Arkansas. Mr. Jones has been in charge of the cases from their inception. The Negroes in whose behalf appeal is being made were first sentenced to death in 1919, their cases passing through four State and Federla Courts. The men have been twice sentenced to death and the date of their execution has been fixed on five occasions. Twelve Negroes in all were sentenced to death and 67 received prison sentences varying from a few years to life.' The defense of the men has been conducted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Ave, New York. NEW WORLD. WAR. BEEMS CERTAIN.

Valentino for Crusader Service. PARIS, Feb. 1.— Europe seems about to repeat the blunder of the Peloponesian war. Already suffering from almost utter exhaustion and loss of prestige on all fronts, the white races of Europe do not seem able to contain their hatreds nor resist the pressure of economic events and conflicting interests. Not only in France's move to occupy the Ruhr district but from Memel to the Black Sea trouble is brewing, and there is still enough gun-powder lying around in Europe to cause a loud explosion. With the attention of Western Europe concentrated upon the Ruhr, the Lithuanian uprising against the French in the Baltic port of Memel passed with comparatively little notice, but this was only one of a series of disquieting incidents along the line from the Baltic to the Black Sea indicative of the storm clouds blowing up from eastern and southern Europe. These incidents all indicate the general unrest and the bitter hatreds and conflicting interests with which the Versailles Peace and some former peace treaties have afflicted Europe. Opinion here is that the French action in the Ruhr alone is likely to precipitate a conflict that, beginning with France and the German workers, will soon take in Soviet Russia, who will undoubtedly come to the rescue of the German workers should the latter show an inclination to do away with the present petit-bourgeois government. With the entry of Soviet Russia, the conflict is likely to narrow down to a class conflict that will spread through all the nations of Europe as the European proletariat rising to arms under the leadership of the Communists line up behind Soviet-Russia in the "final conflict" between Labor and capitalism. On the other hand, the coming conflict may follow purely nationalist lines. In any event, the colored peoples of the world have everything to gain and nothing to lose by such a conflict. Should it proceed along class lines so much the better, for then the white workers of Europe will be in a mood to make common cause with the oppressed peoples of the "colonies" and thus will accelerate the Liberation Movement in the colonies. But even should the war take on purely nationalist lines, the colored races of the world must benefit from the resulting exhaustion of the white perialist nations, whose author they will find it much easier to cut, lunge. In a word, the colored races have everything to gain and nothing to lose in the approaching conflict. ```markdown ``` Editorial Digest (FROM OUR EXCHANGE) A race riot was staged by a mob of whites at Sapulpa, Okla., a few days ago and about an equal number of white and colored people met their death in the melee. The Advocate does not endorse race riots or mob violence in any form, however, since the white mob is usually guilty of starting the trouble, we are proud to see colored people who are attacked by the mob reach the sensible conclusion that it is better to stand, fight and die like brave men to run and die like dogs. Amongst those killed in the riot at Sapulpa were two colored women, who, according to news reports, faced the cowardly mob like their husbands and sons, and dled fighting for the protection of their homes and loved ones. We wonder if it will always be thus, protection for American citizens in foreign countries but no protection for the black man in this country. The ADVOCATE Portland, Oregon. DOES THE COLLEGE MAKE THE MAN? DOES THE COLLEGE MAKE THE MAN? Thomas A. Edison has remarked, substantially, that a college education does not always fit a man for success in life, and that a larger proportion of college men's failures was because they were too proud to work; they had regarded education as a means of lifting them beyond the necessity, for work; they had educated themselves beyond their intelligence, and had acquired an academic equipment for professions for which they had no natural equipment. Mr. Edison's position has been felt by others looking for competent assistance. The characteristics of efficiency are absent in too many cases. Willingness to begin at the bottom and climb through merit is lacking. In too many cases the experienced man is expected to step aside for the college graduate. A of which is preliminary to the introduction of a criticism of Mr. Edison by The Associate Reformed Presbyterian, which insists that a college education has proved the chief factor in carrying man to the front. Of course, the criticism has no bearing on what Mr. Edison really holds, but the logic is so poor it may as well be controverted. Accepting the figures compiled by "Who's Who in America," it says that while but one per cent of the American people are college bred, that one per cent furnishes 73 per cent of those who, because of ability, notoriously, riches, supremacy in the fields of sport and the arts, or what not, have been accorded mention in that book of reference. Is a man an educator, an author, an artist, a scholar, a lawyer? Naturally he is prominent enough to be admitted to the roll of prominence maintained for reference by delvers into life. Even of the 27 per cent not included among the college-bred, one may find the lineage of any stage or screen celebrity. The question is, not the proportion of college men to non-college men who succeed, but what proportion of college men are failures, and why. That a college education is a great advantage is very true, but it is also true that the man himself must have the mental equipment essential to success, the absence of which no college education can replace. College can, and sometimes does, discipline brains, but cannot create them. —The Dearborn Independent, Dearborn, Michigan. BLANTON BEATS PREJUDICE Not satisfied with the record of his state in lynching. Congressman Blanton brings all his spleen to the Capitol and vents it against every phase of legislation which might in any way benefit the Colored population of the city. Every student of social problems knows that the Colored people play their part in the economic life of America by rendering service of a necessary kind and a loyal quality. Not alone do they absorb goods of which they produce, manufacture and exchange little, but they render service in numerous ways at low pay. They are an essential part of the general life in the District of Columbia as they are of most of the sections of the nation. Every public improvement, every civic need must be supplied for the Colored people exactly as it is for the whites, and if government means any thing, it means that more must be supplied to the citizens who have least and especially to those who have no part in arranging the terms of that supply. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—YOU May Never Know It Happened No home so poor or so isolated that it could not afford to have at least one so-called Race paper come as a weekly visitor. If the old folks could not read the children could and did, with the result that our literacy average is now one that, under the circumstances, we should be ashamed of. Most of us who live in large cities read, or at least glance at one or two newspapers a day. They are the eyes through which largely we see the life of our time, and the news that they print is in a great measure the raw material of our ideas. Newspapers have an important part in human life. From the primitive vogue of mere news letters recording the "back fence gossip" they have become international documents covering every phase of world thought, endeavor and development, announcing the aspirations and politics of governments and advocating or decrying leagues, treaties and covenants by which nations are bound. Newspapers have been instrumental in changing habits of human life all over the world. For millions of men and women who are unable to take a college or university course, many of whom are prevented from advancing beyond the grammar school, the newspaper promotes a broad education, providing instruction in politics, literature, business, music, art, sanitation, hygiene, and every phase of life today. The Northwestern Bulletin. St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minn. Choice of Foods Asset to Health Choice of Foods Asset to Health By Wilalyn Stovall. Hopes, for the Colored cinderpath artist, are not gone with the passing of Stapler, Norman and Myles. A repetition of last year's performance in the 100 yd. dash for city prep school athletes is not impossible. Three of the four places were copped by Colored sprinters last year, and in 1921 Stapler and Norman took first and second places respectively. But what have we lined up for this year? When we read what Charley Paddock has to say things don't look so bad after all. "Right now," he says, "It appears that the high school sprinters of Passadena have an edge on the prep 100 yds. unless little Archie Woodyard, the Jefferson high school find steps in upon them. The latter is just about the fastest thing in this neck of the woods at the pres ent writing for high schools." Paddock ought to have the dope on the sprints, being the holder of many world's records. When we remember that Bill Hurric of Pasadena has been stepping off some fast 100 yd. dashes, and recall also that Whislar also of Pasadena, stepped off a 10.1 hundred in an inter-class meet last year, it looks like these fellows are Pasadena's best bets. Archie Woodyard will no doubt come in on the money and bring home a point or two for Jefferson. Then, there's Charles Diggs, a veteran of L. A.'s winning relay team who is quite likely to figure in the distribution of medals. He is handicapped with a bum leg, but there is hope, nevertheless. Out on the hill at the Rallssplitter's institution in smoky Lincoln Heights, George Duncan, the versatile athlete, writer, scholar, humorist, etc., looks like the best race sprinter on the hill. He is to run Lincoln's last lap in the eight mile relay. At Manual, we have Brothers, a member of last year's squad. Brothers should also place in the 100 yd. sprint. So with this group of athletes for the 100 yd. city high school event, a repetition of last year is not impossible. CHANCE FOR RACE LADS IN A. A. U. By Wilalyn Stovall. It has been said that most diseases of the human body arise from malnutrition or improper combinations of foods. It has been the cause of most cases of rheumatism, stomach acidity, mental depression, headache, nervousness, etc. The list of foods which coaches instruct their athletes to eat the simple foods which are of high nutritive value. A little discretion in eating while out of training as well as in the midst of the contents is not a bad policy. Paddock never eats pastry or greasy foods. What is best for the athlete is best for everyone. Rich foods overtax the digestive system and in the long run will reduce the vitality and power of resistance. Some consider fruit and nuts as luxuries; but both have a high nutritive value. All fruits have certain salts of inorganic acids which have a stimulating action on the kidneys. Nuts are the adequate and natural source of proteins and fats. The question is raised as to whether meat is a better source of protein than nuts. It appears that man in an uncivilized state lived principally on fruit and nuts. Many people imagine that eating nuts results in indigestion. That conceptions arise from neglecting to thoroughly masticate nuts. Personal observation seems to bring out the fact that the strongest men come from the middle class. The menu at the table of the wealthy is often too elaborate. They cater more to the taste than to the requirements of the body. On the other hand the poor do not know how to select the most nutritious foods. The middle class includes the professional, business, men, clerks, etc. This fact is especially noticeable by the showing made by the novice athlete. The rich man's son is often poorly developed because he has not had to work, and has had the money to buy the unnecessary food articles, which tend to weaken the constitution. Strong bodies are built by eating simple foods and living simple lives. HOLLYWOOD COACH JUDGES ATHLETES ON ABLITY Hollywood High is supplying her quota of race athletes in three of the four major sports. One of the principal reasons is that coach Fred Johnson head coach at the foothill institution believes in giving every man a fair chance. While at San Bernardino Johnson turned out several star colored athletes, and at no time in his coaching career he has judged an athlete on any other basis than his ability. For the past two seasons Ralph Johnson has been a sub on the varsity football team. This basket ball season he has played in several practice games and is a sub on Hollywood first squad. Ralph is the first athlete of color to try to make the basketball team. Besides being a football and basket ball player he is also tossing the discus something over 100 foot mark. Ralph's younger brother George is helping establish the family name by being somewhat of an all around athlete. George was the nucleus of Hollywood's light weight football squad. As a result of his smashing line plunges and tackling at the fullbacks position he was pitcher for the all-city mythical light-weight team. His lack of weight is all that prevents him from being one of the greatest football players of Southern California, for he surely has the nerve and grip. George Johnson is again member of the varsity track team. Last year he specialized in the high jump and shot, but this season he is trying the sprinting game. Woodson Wickliffe of 440 fame is donning his abbreviated costume again to represent Hollywood in the annual A. A. U. Relay Carnival. Last year Wickliffe along with his team-mates copped a gold medal in the 440 relay event. But due to the ruling of the California Inter-Scholastic Federation (C. T. F.) he will be ineligible for inter-scholastic competition. Hollywood needs him but his loss can not be helped. HOW DO THEY DO IT? How is it, do you imagine, that italians have so many banks in this city? How do the Jews manage to invade and eventually deminate every field of commercial activity in this great metropolis? It is due primarily to the fact that their own people make the sacrifice not only of distance but very frequently lack of equal returns that has enabled the Jew to become the power in the modern world that he has become; that has enabled the Italian, whose illiteracy when he comes to this country is greater than that of the black man whose poverty in a strange land is manifold greater than that of the colored citizen, to break into every line of industry and commerce. The black man at the South patronizes colored men in business, and the colored race there has waxed good and strong; but the black man at the South has to patronize his brother in business. When, however, he comes to the Northern States he forgets the vital service that he alone can and has rendered to his ambitious brother. As a consequence colored men in business are left alone in the cold, without a friend and without an especial patron. Out of a self-sacrificing and steady support whenever and wherever possible for our race as a race in business are the issue of our progress and our future standing, civilly as well as commercially, in this country. Let us, then, patronize the colored man in business, even though for the time being we do so at some sacrifice. We are helping not only him but ourselves, our children and our children's children. —The N. Y. News, New York City, N. Y. HENRY M.
