THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Claud V. Pitts, West's Roland Hayes, to Appear in Recital PHONE 150-44 VOL. 36 THE BYSTANDER L. K. Books Will somebody please page Senator Capper of Kansas. This great and glorious champion of the down-troden and oppressed has introduced a uniform marriage law for the United States. As wise as this bill may be it is offensive and odorous to every person of color who loves and values womanhood. Well might this bill prohibit marriage to imbeciles, lunites, feeble-minded persons, epileptics, paupers, etc, but when in his exuberance the Senator slips in a clause forbidding the marriage of black and white, the Kansas solon, in spite of his association with the N. A. A. C. P. thrusts a dart that causes us to wince and exclaim, "Et tu Brute?" With the adoption of such a biff would pass the last vestige of hope which colored women might have to bring despairingly whites to justice. Surely white men are not afraid of their women, whom they idolize, cherish and adore, marrying colored persons. If they are afraid they make a concession with their boasted superiority. Nature separates the ideals and customs of peoples as it does the association of ducks and chickens. Why then this law Mr. Capper? A PREACHER All Methodism, and especially the colored contingency, should seriously regret the voluntary retirement from active service of Dr. William Brooks, pastor for 26 years of St. Mark's M. E. Church, New York. After 45 years of good service this man of God surrenders a pulpit that will be all but easy to fill, and the situation will no doubt afford grave concern and food for thought. Such ministers are like precious stones, so few and so rare that we regret in this profession as much if not more than in any other the passing of one so genteel, useful and esteemed. Riot Cases. After proceeding about as far as it could adversely the U. S. Supreme Court at last handed down a decision that gives little hope and favor. In the Arkansas riot cases the Supreme court reversed the decision and ordered the Federal Court of that district to hear the matter and determine whether or not the men had received a fair trial. The N. A. A. C. P. deserves much credit for its interest in the matter. This reprieve we fear is but temporary and that sooner or later this matter will be shelved or pigeon holed as all other matters which affect Negro citizenship. DUBOIS AT CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH On last Wednesday evening at The First Congregational Church before a packed house of the best white citizens of Los Angeles, Dr. C. S. Patton the broad minded and broad hearted pastor presented Rev. E. E. Lightner as an excellent pastor, an excellent citizen and gentleman. Rev. Lightner in well chosen expressions presented Attorney E. C. Jennings, who in glowing terms introduced Dr. W. E. B. DuBois as the scholar, the author, the editor and leader of the Negro race and the preserver of the constitution of the United States. Dr. DuBois caught his audience from the beginning and although a great number of people were standing there was a death-like quietude for 1 hour while he spoke on the future of the dark races. He gave them a heavy dose of their wrong treatment to us but despite this fact it seemed that every one was eager to shake his hand and the writer can but believe that the impression was more than momentary. RUSSIAN EXPLAINS EUROPEAN CHAOS. ALL A "DAMNING ILLUSTRATION OF THE EVILS OF CAPITALIST SYSTEMS." (Crusader Service) MOSCOW, Mar. 7.—"You want an explanation of this Memel fuss. I'll give you in two words; Money talks. Or, if you prefer details, that France has just promised to inject a stream of $25,000,000 of gold into the veins of the Polish war party." The speaker was a hardshell Communist, holding no official position in the Soviet Government, but a fighter in the vanguard of the Communist Internationale. "It is esay enough to understand," he continued, if you look at it from the Marxian—that is the practical—economic—point of view, which by the way, does not exclude the importance of nationalist or racial influences; as some of you outsiders seem to imagine. "When this Ruhr show began, the Poles took precautions. They moved troops to our frontier and concentrated still more on the German side. For a moment this rather startled our people, who, of course, did not know what game the French and Poles might have fixed up together. But we soon found that it was a defensive rather than an aggressive measure, and, as perhaps you noticed, the tension here suddenly relaxed. "Almost simultaneously Lithuanians grabbed Memel, and the Poles never budged. It is quite likely, as things were then, that Poland had an advanced tip about the Memel affair, and was rather glad to let Lithuania have something to distract her attention, in view of possible trouble for Poland with RRussia and Germany. "But as time passed, even the Poles realized that we did not want war if we could avoid it, and that Germany was sticking pretty closely to a policy of passive resistance. This relieved the minds of the nervous sections. "Meantime the military party put through this loan from France, which you can be sure will not come in sacks of gold to Warsaw. No, the Creusot works (the great French munition factory) will get a big slice of it, and the airplane people an done or two tank factories. "Then, too, it is possible that the Lithuanians are feeling their oats a little. These 'pofato republics' are crazy with nationalism, anyway, and after snatching Memel from under the noses of the Riga Treaty and offers mediation though they could have a try at Vilna also. "All that is conjecture, but one fact is clear; right after this gold injection General Sikorski and his army suddenly began to show activity, and fighting is already reported between Polish and Lithuanian regulars in the neutral zone near Vilna. Tchitcherlin reminds them of the Riga treaty and offers mediation, but do you think they will listen? Not while the noise of $25,000,000 worth of French money drowns his voice. "Just consider France's position in the Ruhr. No matter what their papers say, the world knows they are stuck. They have simply got the bull by tail. Perhaps their soldiers would like to do some more occupying, but Paris ought to know that that would not help much. So why start something somewhere else? The Polish war group will always put the match to the fire—for money—and once the flames begin to shoot up, who knows what will happen in Germany? In any event, Creusot and the tanks and airplane people will do a good stroke of business, and French banks will get a fat commission. Even if Poland blows up they do not lose money, but the French public which subscribes to the loan. "The Russian attitude towards the whole thing is rather mixed. As economists engaged in the most difficult work of national reconstruction, any further trouble in Europe hampers us. As revolutionaries we cannot forget that the whole Ruhr affair and its possible consequences in Eastern Europe, whether Memel or anything else be the pretext—are the most damning possible illustration of evils of capitalist system. People talk about Bolshevist propaganda, but we could not make such propaganda as this if we spent a million dollars.

By: CHANDLER OWEN One writer has said the existence of monuments is justified on but two grounds—as works of art and that for which they stand. We do not agree with his first proposition. We do not believe a mere work of art justifies a monument. We think that a monument ought to be erected to some idea or ideal, and that ideal should be portrayed through a work of said the existence of monuments is justified on but two grounds—as works of art and that for which they stand. We do not agree with his first proposition. We do not believe a mere work of art justifies a monument. We think that a monument ought to be erected to some idea or ideal, and that ideal should be portrayed through a work of art. In other words, art should be made the hand maiden of truth and justice. To illustrate: at the present time the Ku Klux Klan is planning to erect in Atlanta a monument which will probably be one of the greatest works of art in America. They have secured the services of sculptors of worldwide reputation. Yet the monument they erect will necessarily be condemned by the sober opinion of the present and the future, on account of the vicious principles which the statue will be designated to commemorate. The Daughters of the Confederacy (Jefferson Davis Chapter No. 1650) have asked Congress to grant them permission to erect a statue in Washington in memory of the "Black Mammies." They want to bring back memories of the slave days when black mammies toiled in the cotton fields, cleaned the houses, cared for the children, nursed them at their bosoms. They want to bring back what to them Bert Williams would call "those wonderful days"—days when the pay for Negro labor was the "cruel lash of arrogant idleness upon the naked back of patient" "toil." They want a memorial of the Southern white's good times gone. To the Southern bourbons these memories are like the photo of a choice and fond friend who has passed away. Though we cannot bring back the friend, we may often look upon and kiss the picture. Now we don't want any "mammy" statues anywhere. We want the children of this generation to abhor and forget those days when the white madam had leisure and the black mammy had labor—when the white lady loitered and the black mistress toled. We want to orient ourselves—turn our faces from the dark and discouraging past and direct it toward a bright and hopeful future. In fact, people erect monumentals for things of which they are fond, and in order to perpetuate the ideas for the future. And that is just what these Daughters of the Confederacy are doing. The "black mammies" made it soft for them and they made it hard for the "black mammies." They are justified in wanting the "black mammies" to return but we Negroes are justified in fighting to say that these "black mammies" will be like Poe's Raven—"never more." What one person wants to memorialize, another person may want to forget. For instance: you will not find in Alabama, Florida or Georgia, the statues of Grant or Lincoln; nor will you find in Boston the statues of Jeff Davis, Stonewall Jackson or Robert E. Lee. It would be quite impossible to find in Paris a statue of Hindenburg or Ludendorff, nor would you find in Berlin a monument erected to Foch or Sir Douglas Halg. Why? Because in these respective cases the persons referred to had unused their power to injure their opponents. The writer favors having some statues and monuments erected in this country. We favor one erected to the 200,000 Negro soldiers who fought to wipe out slavery and to unfurl the flag of freedom and let it float like a cloud over this land. We favor a statue to these men who helped to save the Union, who indeed were a great factor in crushing out the inquisitive viper—slavery—which had vitiated the entire American atmosphere with its venomous and poisonous breath. We favor erecting a monument to the Negro, who is carving a new monument in the hearts of our people. We favor the erection of a monument to the Negroes of Washington, Chicago, Longview, Texas, Knoxville, Tenn., Tulsa, Okla., and Philadelphia, who rose in their might and said to the authorities: "If you cannot protect us, we will protect ourselves—if you cannot uphold the law, we will maintain constituted authority." We favor erecting a monument to the Negro artists and poets, the Negro inventors and discoverers, the Negro scholars and thinkers, who $2.00 THE YEAR NO. 50 have gone without food, clothing and shelter, in order to lay upon the altar of progress the Negro's mead of enement. We favor a monument to the Negro women who have risen above insult, assault, debauchery, prostitution and abuse, to which these unfortunate "black mammies" were subjected. Yes, we favor erecting a monument to these women, who have almost wiped out this chasm of caste, who have broken the cordon of chains and are now trying to throw them off. Let this "mammy statue go. Let it fade away. Let it be buried in that blissful oblivion to which the brave sons of this nation have consigned it; and when it rises again, let its white shaft point to a lofty peak, a New Negro mother, no longer a "white man's woman," no longer the sex-enslaved "black mammy" of Dixie—but the apotheosis of triumphant Negro womanhood.

AMERICAN MUTUAL TO HOLD SERVICE AMERICAN MUTUAL TO HOLD SERVICE Sunday, March 18th has been set aside for the first annual services of the American Mutual Benefit Association, to be held at Peoples Independent Church, 18th and Paloma Ave. Two services will be held, morning and evening, and the attendance of both services will be rewarded by a treat to the serious minded citizen, interested in Racial development, as well as t othe music loving. So large has been the growth of the Association in Los Angeles during the past year, so great its appeal to the far sighted and so vital its growth to the city that a failure of its members in the past to hold a public service has been an injustice to the people. You must not fail to hear Rev. N. P. Greggs deliver the powerful sermon at the morning service. You must not fail to hear brilliant and intellectual Attorney Towson S. Grasty, surrounded by some of the city's best musical artists at the evening service. Remember March 18th at People's Independent Church.

Bert Farmer has launched —-VOTE FOR—— ‘| To promote the extension and wid, ening of Central avenue to the har bor, property owners along that high way have formed the “Central Avenue to the Harbor Association.” E. L. Duffy, a member of the DeWitt-Blair Realty company. subdividors of Good. year Park, was elected president A committee was named to wait upon the board of supervisors and advise with them as’ to the best and speediest methods of going forward with the project. The association passed a resolution going on record in favor of making Central Avenue 100 feet wide all the way to Wilmington, and through the resolution the property owners unan- imously expressed their willingness to pay an equitable part of the cost of constructing g 22-foot automobile roadbed. “Central avenue,” said C.F. DeWitt of the DeWitt-Blair Realty Co.. “is the shortest and best drained route to the harbor. It crosss Dominguez hill at an easy grade and strikes the egstern edge of Nigger slough, where there is no danger of highwaters. From Nigger slough southward the country’ is almost as level as a ball room floor.” “For q distance of almost two niles along Goodyear Park we have widened Central avenue to 100 feet in antici pation of the street's coming import ance. A wide street at this point is especially desirable, because on the west ‘side lies W. H. Daum’s South west Industrial Gateway ‘Terminal, in cluding the $10,000,000 Goodyeur Tire and Rubber factéry.” Activity i this district has cause the sale of over $2.7yH.u0y worth 01 sites in Goodyear Park since October 1, according to Mr. DeWitt In this district is located Central Subdivision, consisting of 2S1 lots which is being opened for sale Sun day, March 1S. 1922, by the EAST SIDE REALTY COMPANY, L437 Cen tral Avenue. ‘The subdividers have made arrange ments to take care of & large crowd of buyers on the opening day, and it past records augur well, the greate part of the subdivision will be sold that day. A TALE OF OLD JAPAN Upwards of eight years ago Mrs. Clara Hulbert, then President of the Allensworth Club. assisted by Mrs. L. B. Kelso, proposed an organization to take up the study of music in at serious vein. Actuated by intelligent motives for impassioned clues to the deeper things in music we find these two persons working for the establish. ment of a real music society. Their organization sprang forth. It was not out of the fushion, but out of the necessity of the time. Rag: time Music had seizbd our senses. We had begun to walk, talk, read write and even eat of Ragtine hallucina tion. The future forecast was dim, foreboding—there could be seen ris ing upon the decadent impulses of a new music whose deadening influence threatened to be more destructive than the latter-Jazz, that nameless. unknown quantity. so frequently as: sociated with real music, way begin ning to stalk aluormally through the vast domain of the higher musical thoughts and fancies. It was feign. ing a primitive originalityand, in a parasitic manner, was feeding upon and devouring the fondest illusions of musical intelligence and romance. We shall leave it to the imagination of our readers to determine how ef fective has been the work of these two women in the interest of real musical art, We venture the state ment that they are the real sponsors of the Colgridge-Taylor Music Society which came as a result of inappreci ation for Classics, particularly as they concern Negro Musicians and theit works.

This talent is brought together, broadened, deepened, intensified for the ultt mate expression of eager hopes and aspirations, The principal objective is the study of compositions by Ne- gro authors, production of. these works; teaching a reverence for the pure, the beautiful in Music, Art— Life. To this end the Club has dedi- cated itself to the task of assisting all worthy, deserving students to ac: quire their supreme desires along ar- tistic lines, to establish scholarships for those who demonstrate unusual intelligence and musical ability.

Eagleson, graduate pharmacist and doctor of medicine, and it will be a great boon to our local physicians and surgeons of this city. Mr. Eagleston, its founder, has had a rich and varied experience in this avenue of scientific research. For ‘many years he was an intern at the great Santa Fe General Hospital, at ‘Topeka, Kansas, and for years be ‘has been active in the innermost Te- ‘searches in the sciences of medicine and pathology. He is one of the less ‘than half dozen of our race who can qualify in this line of effort. When -he came to California and sought to serve in the capacity of his calling, he was admitted by the board of Pharmacy without examination, strict. ly on his experience of more than ‘twenty years’ actual practice. This is unusual and speaks most highly of Mr. Eagleson’s qualifications. His place of business is neat and well stocked, and ‘fully equipped with all the modern appliances necessary in a laboratory of this kind. Another branch which he specializes in is that of pathology, which has to do with the science of diseases, and the analyzing of the blood, tissues. bac- teria, and in fact, all of the manifesta. tions of human ‘disease. . His establishment is not only at the service of the physicians and surgeons but he conducts a high grade pharm- acy+and specializes in prescriptions The public is invited to call upon him for any thing in this line, DR.

Considerable interest is centered in the may- oralty race which is between S. W. McNabb present incumbent and J. W. Catlick. Both candidates have served the city two terms as mayor. The chief concern on the part of the citi- zens who encouraged Mayor McNabb to a- gain seek re-election is that the voters may be given an opportunity to vindicate the mayor’s stand for law and order during the railroad shopmen’s strike of last year. Mayor McNabb has been the object of at- tack in certain quarters since his declaration that the streets of the city must be kept safe for free American citizens to walk thereon and that the homes of the citizens of San Bernardino who chose to continue their em- ployment with the Santa Fe should be pro- tected from attack. Despite the strife and turmoil of the past year San Bernardino has experienced un- paralleled progress. More civic improve- ments have been made, more home building has been carried on than at any time in the city’s history. ~ Mayor McNabb’s happy disposition and his ability to harmonize interests and eliminate factionalism or cliaueism have contributed very materially toward this development. The progressive citizens of San Bernardino are anxious for a continuation of this activ- ity and they believe that with McNabb at the helm this can be accomplished without fric- tion or difficulty. == = Ask f SSS Ww i sk for and SSS i SSeS i Be sure you get SS | The Quality Loaf i} ere ‘Made Clean, b z Peco, ‘Sold Clean’ is yt § \\.,/ Delivered i i % yi Fir f Clean’ i CS eee ~THEBURNS BILLIARD ACADEMY BURNS AND AKERS, Proprietors 1165 East Twelfth St. BILLIARDS -:- CIGARS -:- SOFT DRINKS A RESORT FOR GENTLEMEN . —We Have Just Installed— A Twenty-Five Hundred Dollar Wurlitzer Orchestra to Add to Your Enjoyment Oe ee a oe ee | a se ee AS ee | ee) F e = ay eid ae id a.

Members of the A. M. E. Church are preparing a play which they expect to present some time this month. Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Eller Allison "framed" a delightful surprise party on them recently, at their Manhattan Street home. There were about fifty in this charming conspiracy, and the Allisons were the grateful recipients of many useful and beautiful presents, for which they desire to express their appreciation. Mrs. E. Smith, of Thaxter Street, is improving, after a long illness. This will be good news to her many friends. Mr. O. Turner was recently in Watts, looking after his property interests here. Mrs. Johnson, of South Compton Avenue, is ill as the result of a nervous breakdown. Mrs. Moss and her husband have left Watts temporarily, but expect to return here to live. Mrs. Wilkerson, of Alta Street, recently received news of the death of a relative, killed in an automobile accident. Mr. and Mrs. Adams of Jones Street recently gave their daughter in marriage to a well known young Los Angeles man. A host of friends wish her a life of happiness. Dr. Cummings, formerly of Los Angeles but now of North Compton, will soon establish a drug store on North Compton Avenue. Such an establishment is much needed, and will undoubtedly be well patronized. Mr. L. Freeman was a visitor in Watts last Sunday, and was so favorably impressed with prospects here, that he is considering making Watts his future home. SACRAMENTO Why not make use of your time? Life's too short to waste.—The Stranger. Mrs. M. A. Gibbons of Marysville is a Sacramento visitor the guest of her son S. G. Gibbons. Earnest H. Dawson and H. E.

Hon. F. M. Roberts has returned to attend the closing session of the legislature. The one big thing holding the attention of all Sacramento at this time is the coming of W. E. B. DuBois to this city on Thursday, March 15th. He will appear at the noon luncheon of the Rotary Club, meet the Governor, be shown about the valley and speak at the Tuesday Club House in the evening. The whole town is ready for this big meet and Sacramento with the N. A. A. C. P. is going to show how well she can do things up in great shape. At the Legislature Monday morning found the Capital again a very busy place as the session in both houses were called on. The senate adjourned after a short session out of respect to a former member, Senator Perkins, who recently died. About the most interesting thing before the legislature body now is that much talked of budget. It has been said that it would be swallowed whole by the Senate, but if the Stranger can understand and hear good there is going to be some scrap on that budget and it isn't going to be a play fight either. There is an opposition being developed against the shing bill aimed at the Japanese primarily. A similar bill was defeated at the last session and it begins to look as though this one won't get by. SANTA BARBARA SANTA BARBARA Brother and Sister Meet After Forty- Two Years Mrs. Adaline Taylor, of Matagorda, Texas, sister of Mr. Nelson Mason, has been visiting her brother and his wife at their residence. 319.

Julius Maxwell at Eighth and Towne Avenue A. M. E. Church on Wednesday afternoon in the presence of a large gathering of friends. Brother Maxwell as he was familiarly called by old and young, was born in the state of Kentucky more than 92 years ago. He was licensed to preach in the A. M. E. Church nearly sixty years ago and was a devout Christian. He came to California and united with the First A. M. E. Church in Los Angeles about 20 years ago and he made many friends. The Rev. A. Milton Ward officiated at the funeral. The choir sang and Prof. Bartlett played the chimes and Vox Humana on the pipe organ that brother Maxwell so much admired. The Mutual Aid Society of the First A. M. E. Church turned out in a body. The flowers were varied and beautiful. Brother Maxwell looked as if he had just fallen asleep as he lay in the handsome casket of steel gray. Smith and Williams the funeral directors-donated the entire expense of the funeral except the burial plot. Brother Maxwell is survived by his widow and their friend, Mrs. Martin. He died two weeks after being struck down by an automobile. RECITAL! Miss Luvenia Harper in First Annual Pupils' Recital. Second Baptist Church, Tuesday Nite, April 2. Admission 25 cents.

Leave Orders at Arland and Alabama St. ROSITA By Wendell Phillips Gladen, Jr. Distant purple hills were outlined against a background of vermilion, as sunset tints faded slowly. The day had been extremely hot, but now cool evening breezes brought relief to the little Mexican town. Thinly clad destrians went strolling about or hurrying homeward. Lights darted here and there. Mexicali lay peaceful under the mantle of dusk. And the shadows closed about the large two-story house where Rosita lived. The girl, during her leisure, was playing her guitar and singing softly. Passers-by heard the music and stopped to listen. It was an unusual event, however, for it had been many days since she had played such beautiful melodies for them. When she had finished, the girl went over to one of the windows had gazed out into the moonlight night. Soon she would make ready for her evening performance. "La Casa Nueva," the notorious dance hall, teemed with activity. Clouds of smoke floated lazily above. Men and women of many nationalities, fascinated by poker, roulette, and other games, won and lost fortunes. Others danced. Hilarity and syncopation predominated. Here King Harmon sat, down cast and disinterested. His countenance was somewhat clouded. It could be plainly seen that there had been some secret tragical event in his young life which caused him to wear that haggard expression. He sat brooding until the music began anew. There were cheers when Rosita came out on the stage. She sang "La Vida," then the popular Castilian foxtrón. Encored again and again, Rosita danced. The girl wore an exquisite oriental costume of orchid satin. Her's was a beautiful figure. Music seemed to dwell within her. She smiled sweetly at King, but he did not see her; for she had enchanted him with her voice and her dancing. Harmon was dreaming of the East, of shuffling and tripping feet, swaying symmetrical forms, the rythm and music, and the irresistible charm of the orient. When she had finished her performance, the girl went over to where King was seated. "Hello, Stranger," she exclaimed. "Oh, I beg you—" King rose quickly, half-surprised, half-choking, lost for further speech. Rosita seated herself. "You seem not to be enjoying yourself." He sat back in his chair, resting one arm on the little round table. "No," said he seriously. "I am a bit disgusted, yes, disheartened. I came here seeking recreation, but I am afraid I shall be disappointed." "Disappointed?" surprised. The girl's curiosity was aroused. Perhaps the man before her was of sterner stuff than those about the place. Who was he? And why did he come here? "Won't you tell me about yourself, Stranger?" King believed that he had found a friend in the girl. He felt awkward. Never had he been so amazingly bashful, nor yet so happy. He hesitated, thought. King was himself again; full of enthusiasm and hope—inspired by the lovely girl before him. "Yes, I will tell you all," he began. "I was once a student at Northwestern Law School. My friends heaped honors upon me because of my ability in athletics and scholarship. But I loved to fight. The boxing art appealed to me. It was not long before I went in training and became successful in most of my contests. I was persuaded to return home in California where I might make a career for myself. I went. Training and fighting hard I soon reached the championship division. Only last fall I contended in a championship bout in San Francisco but my opponent retained his title. I would try again next spring but I want to return to college. My mother's last wish was that I make something of myself. Yes, I want to return to school, only—" he did not finish. "Only what? Rosita asked tenderly. "I haven't enough money." "You have a wonderful opportunity right here in Mexicall. A purse of five-thousand dollars has been offered to him who accepts the offer to meet Kid Jose." King meditated. This indeed was his chance. He must accept. "Why, that is a glorious opportunity. I shall send immediately for Jene, my manager who is in Ensenada. I must win, I must win." Rosita admired King. He was handsome and so earnest. She had loved deeply once, but that is another story. What did this young man mean to her? What could the future hold for her? The girl pondered over these questions until it was her time to perform again. Harmon thanked her for the information and her interest. He wasted no time in departing. As he was leaving the hall "Doc" Sherry eyed him closely, savagely, almost greedily, and called his gang around him. Sherry was in love with Rossita, but had received no response from the beautiful queen of "La Casa Nneva." PART II. Came the day of the battle for the light heavyweight championship title of Baja California. King Harmon our hero of the Pacific Coast was to face Kid Jose, Mexican idol. In the arena, which had been a rendezvous for gamblers, were posted placards and photographs of the two contestents. Throughout Baja California followers of the fastic game If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—YOU May Never Know It Happened DIGGS HAS WONDERFUL SEASON IN TRACK AT L. A. HIGH JU were enthusiastic over the coming fray. The odds, however, were against King. Harmon was in the best of condition. His muscles were hardened, his eyes steady; he had taken care to preserve his weight. A series of rope-jumping and skipping and light bag-punching ended his training two days before. He was determined to stage a "comback." The Mexican was also in good condition. He was an athlete of great prowess. His face showed the result of hard fighting; his whole appearance was that of the great pilgrist. Kid Jose was about ten pounds heavier than his Colored opponent but not quite as tall, being five feet ten inches in height. More than this, Jose had practically everything in his favor; the best trainers, the greater share of the purse, and the odds. Over in the training quarters the men were restless. And finally, having received instructions from their respective trainers and managers Jose and King were accompanied to the arena. Kid Jose bowed; and was well applauded by the throng. King,too, met the audience and was greeted with cheers and "bravos." Round one began. They rushed at each other like tigers. King was on the defensive. That, however, was not his style of fighting; he had always danced about, in and out, smashing and jabbing with unusual force and speed. Jose drew first blood with a well delivered blow to the head. King covered because of a short right jab intended for the solar plexus. The Californian came back fiercely. Then Jose forced the fighting. They fought like madmen. King was a seasoned fighter and did not exert himself too much. The round ended in a draw. There were wild choirs from the throng, and "buenos" from the Mexicans. Men were on their feet shouting and waving handkerchiefs and "somberros" frantically overhead. The excitement abated suddenly All eyes were turned to the entrance DIGGS HAS where the beautiful form of Rossita filled the doorway. She was loved by all the crowd, and they rejoiced to see her. Rosita smiled, as she advanced, and seated herself near King's corner. She wanted King to win, to go back to the States and finish his studies. The girl had a greater reason; she loved him. Opposite Jose's corner were "Doc" Sherry, King of the gambers, and his men. He was jealous of King, hated him, and was staking a large sun on the Mexican. The gong sounded. The battlers were at it again. There was a determined look in the eyes of King, Many and loud were the cheers for him, and he smiled faintly. He saw Rosita too. His jaws set. King Harmon had found himself. He began exhibiting his wonderful foot-work. King was no longer on the defensive. Jose was still aggressive; he dealt King a blow to the face, cutting a deep gash under the eye. King recovered. The men fought viciously. King saw his opportunity; like a flash he dealt the Mexican an uppercourt Jose whirled, crumpled, and fell blind on his face to the floor. King had scored a knockout and five-thousand dollars was his share. While King was being raised to the shoulders of strong men, Sherry rushed to the ring near the winner, unnoticed by the throng in the midst of the excitement, and with revolver flashing. Rosita perceived the gambler's intention just in time. She screamed and struck him on the arm and thus reordered the shot wild. Sherry was overpowered by Mexican guardsmen and arrested.

A. high school, led the field in three events in the dual track and field meet between L. A. and Manual, held last Friday. He won teh 100 yd. dash in 10:3; the low hurdles in 27 flat; and the high hurdles in the fast time of 16:4 Those fifteen points brought his total just about to the fifty mark. He has garnered from eight to fifteen points in almost every meet. At present he is high point man at his school, and should set a new record for largest number of points gained in one season. The work of Diggs in the high hurdles was very good. If he can travel at this rate or faster, when the city meet is held, he is almost certain to win or at least place; and if forced hard enough in the low hurdles, he should come out on top with excellent time for the half lap affair, for he is a fast stepper, and has a great fighting heart. We are proud of his work this season. Charles bids fare to make a remarkable athletic career for himself when he enters college. He is a hard, consistent and careful trainer, and has consideration for his physical welfare, which characterizes the great athlete. Let us extend to him our wishes for continued honor and success for the remainder of this and coming seasons. --- Edited by WENDELL P. GLADDEN, Jr. --- By Kenneth Wallace. Embarrassing moments.

THE MEMOIRS OF AN EX-SHIEK By: ONE OF THE OLD MASTERS Stealing a few moments each week from his haremites, the ex-shiek, retires to his cozy den where he seeks solitude, and sits quietly musing in his reveries. He has consented, however, on the request of the back-biters, Making Money Making Money Some men make their money in business—some in stocks—some by toilsome savings of their daily wage. But I submit to you the unquestioned fact that more men have reached a comfortable competence through the ownership of property—houses and land which bring in a fixed income—than in any other way. Business requires your sole attention—Stocks mean sleepless nights and days of worry—Property works by itself for you without your care. Select it—Set it to work—it takes care of itself and will take care of you. A good example of this sort of investment is found in a few of my special listings as follows: Seven room house, East 40th St., $4200.00; $1000.00 cash.

South 1540 BOXING SUNNY JIM GETS DRAW WITH SUNNY GOODRICH IN MAIN GO AT GARDEN Sailor Smith Also Draws With Iron Man of Vernon. Huge Crowds Wit- ness Best Bouts of the Season. It was an excited throng that watched Sunny Jim fight his way to a draw with Sunny Jim in the main event at Madison Square Garden last Wednesday night. Both men fought careful, but very hard throughout the encounter. Sunny Jim was the first to draw blood with a wicked jab to Goodrich's nose. Goodrich, nevertheless, was never in great danger. They ex- changed hard blows which would have proved fatal to either fighter. had they landed solidly and with enough force. The draw decision given by the judges was popular. Sailor Smith, our own coming champion, fought his way bravely to a draw with Steve Dalton. "Iron Man of Vernon" in the semi-windup. Dalton had the shade in the first two rounds, but the Sailor waded in and held his own. Next Wednesday will find these two in the main event at the Garden, it was announced. The first bout was good. Black Mask battling Fredericks. Mask got over a knock down in the second, but his opponent came back. In the third round Black Mask injured his hand and failed to return for the last round. Shadow Burton was on hand again, displaying has clever tactics and footwork against Kid Hogan. Shadow is one of the cleverest men who ever entered the ring is the opinion of many close followers of the game. And it seems no card will be complete without his name on it. Mack House returned to the ring to redeem himself and did it successfully by knocking out KO Mohan, after about a minutes of fighting. Mack led and appeared to mean business from the very start. Tiger Flores gave Lefty Floyd a lot of punishment, but was unable to finish him, however he got the decision. Floyd showed flashes of fighting, yet always came back for more severe punishment. Boy wonder got a draw again from Wop Flynn in the next affair. There was very little slugging and some good scientific work. LET ME DO MY WORK By: Wendell P.

BLACK AND TAN DESERVEDLY POPULAR HARRY SOUTHARD BUILDS UP SPLENDID ORGANIZATION The Black and Tan Band seems to have won for itself a place in the vanguard of our local musical profession-organizations. This splendid success is due in great measure, of course, to the talent and ability of the musicians who make up the personnel of the Black and Tan, but the highest credit it is to the able management of Mr. Harry Southard. Not only is it said that the Black and Tan is in demand at the most pretentious functions given by local organizations, but the "regular" Black and Tan dances, held at Arion Hall, East Third Street, near Main, have become extremely popular. Not only are the appointments handsome, but it is said that the best possible order is maintained on all occasions by the management, headed by Mr. Southard. The Grand Easter Ball, to be given at Arion Hall, Monday night, April 2nd, with the Famous Black and. Tan Six, augmented to nine artists, will doubtless be one of the most classy dances of the spring season. PEOPLE'S MOTOR BUS CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE 210-11-12 Grosse Bldg.-Phone 823678 The part motorbuses would serve in furnishing additional transportation was told to the Western Avenue Business Association this week, by John Dickerson, associate of Wm G. McAdoo. Mr. Dickinson in addressing the Executive Committee of the Association said in part: "Los Angeles is growing into a great metropolis. We residents possibly don't realize that very rapidly we are approaching a metropolis of the class of Chicago, New York, London and Paris. Consequently specialized facilities of different kinds are needed especially in transportation. Now, are you in this great metropolis of Los Angeles, contented with the street car facilities?" I understand there are fewer miles of street cars actually operated here today than was the case ten years ago. I want to emphasize that a motorbus creates its own traffic, it creates a type which otherwise is simply not carried, and by creating that traffic of course, it tends to build up communities; it tends to bring new people in "I have had queries put to me as to whether the motor bus will not increase traffic congestion. The present application of the People's' Motorbus Company does not propose the operation of busses in the center of Los Angeles, in the so-called restricted area, between First Street and Ninth Street, and Hill and Main Street. The situation down there is such at the present time that something will have to be done about it. But we do not propose to operate in that area or to increase the tangle which exists. We propose to take the people just as the Pacific Electric does, right down to the edge of the congested district and allow them to have easy access to the neighborhood to which they wish to go. "A motorbus in a very little more than the amount of space occupied by a large touring car, would carry from 50 to 60 passengers. Many people who take their automobiles down town with them now and wonder what to do with them after they get them there, would use the motorbus if it were available. "Now, the motorbus will enable the street car to perform its service to the public more satisfactorily, by taking off some of that overload. Now, I understand the street car people say that is cream; it may be cream to them, but it is not cream or comfort to those who supply the cream. As a matter of fact, Los Angeles is growing at the rate of about 110,000 to 115,000 people per year. Each person takes 3000 rides on the street cars in a year. That means that each succeeding year there are about thirty million more people carried by the street cars, more so-called revenue passengers than the year before." "The application for a franchise for the People's Motorbus Company has been drawn up with the desire to be as fair as possible to the city. There is a provision that the city shall receive 3* per cent of the gross receipts. There is, of course, the license tax which would have to be paid on the busses. There is the property tax which would have to be paid on the physical property of the company. There is a provision in the franchise that in the event the city cares to take over the busses, after it has been demonstrated that they are a success, they may do so for the bare value of the depreciated property at the time taken over, without any payment for the franchise or for the value of the good-will. "This is an enterprise which is going to bring capital into the community. Los Angeles is being built up by new capital coming in. The growing city is not the city that builds a wall around itself and says, "Now we have attained our zenith, and hereafter we will be, self-sufficient."

We are not going to be put into a position of assaulting them or keeping them from doing the duty which they owe to the public. We are trying to help them to do it. There has been some feeling on their part that they would be injured by this franchise. I believe that in a growing city like Los Angeles there is all the business for everybody to do that is in a position to do the business, and certainly, if a man or a group of men are not in a position satisfactorily to do the business which they propose to do, it does not lie in their months to say that somebody else who offers the facilities to do that business shall not be permitted to do so.

It is competition. It is the thought of competition that has been waking things up, and if this sort of competition is converted into the reality of competition, why, we will all work forward with a great deal more energy and a great deal more efficiency to serve the needs of Los Angeles.

Joe Jeannette, one of the great colored heavyweights of 12 or 15 years ago, has been licensed to serve as a referee in New York. He is the first colored man to be thus honored, and, it is understood, will officiate at "colored" clubs. The old-time fight fans who knew Jeannette when he was fighting the Jack Johnsons and Sam Langtords would hardly know him now. In those days Joe was a bushy-haired individual, trimly built, and with muscles that stuck out on him like knobs of mahogany. Now he's, bald-headed and fat, a kindly man, and very popular even among the white fans. His last public appearance as a boxer was when he served as a sparring partner for Carpentier in the Dempsey match. Two days before the fight Jeanette created a mild sensation by saying for publication that, old as he was, he wished that he, and not Dempsey, were going to fight Carpentier.

It is a big theme. Mr. Wood handles it in a big way. His is the objective manner and he has mastered it amazingly. He is like an expert pipe organist who pulls out all the stops and revels in rich harmonies of bass chords—the chords of thunderous tragedy and pain and sorrow. Unfortunately, every story about the Negro is, as yet, symbolical. Hugh Wiley writes of a carefree, dice-shooting Wildcat and his goat, Lily, and the average American is all tooprone in his ignorance to say, "There is the typical Negro!" Thomas Dixon writes of a black rapist or a "good old nigger" and his untrue picture is held up as an unfailing representation of eleven million people. I do not mention Clement Wood in the same breath as those two. Yet the average American who reads "Nigger" will never suspect that, in spite of all his handicaps, the Negro in America has made more rapid progress than any other group in history in a similar period. Had Clement Wood permitted but one of his characters to catch a glimpse, however fleeting, of that vision which has enabled the Negro to live on when hope seemed gone; had he but let some ray of light penetrate the murky shadows; had he but given to his readers some slight intimation of the powerful forces which are moving the South, and especially the black South, today he would have given us a novel which, if not truly great, would have been nearer the mark than "Nigger." He knows the South, he knows the Negro eternally, and, nearer than any other white writer that has come out of the South, he knows the inner workings of the Negro mind. "Nigger" is not a great novel but it has many of the elements of greatness. Powerful, moving, convincing, it paints a dolorous and pessimistic picture. Yet, if this great problem which Mr. Wood knows so well could be seen in the stark, brutal outlines he gives, public opinion would rise in indignation to correct the evils. Thus "Nigger" is more than a novl—it is a document.—Walter White. This article is from the Nation, March 28th, and from its tone, we opine that the white man's civilization is turning to hate—and at the rate he is going, he will soon hate himself. MAKE READY FOR COMING OF GREAT NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION IN SEPTEMBER, 1923. At the last session of the National Baptist Convention which convened in St. Louis, Mo., Dec., 1922, that body voted to make good its pledge to Los Angeles by holding the next session in this city in the month of September. As chairman of the General Committee and Moderator of the largest group of Baptists West of the "Cintinental Divide," I desire to call the attention of the citizenry and all the Baptists of California, Los Angeles in particular, that the coming of the convention is a matter that concerns ALL and offers no special favors to myself, or to anyone of us who made it possible for this city to be favored with the presence of the greatest body of men and women that ever assembled on American soil. It is the wishes of the Committee as well as the desire of the good people of Los Angeles that there be a united effort on the part of all irrespective of 'party affiliation' or religious persuasion. Persuant to systematic execution of the mammoth task of caring for the Convention, or arranging for same; and in the light of past experiences; we thought it wise to make the Executive Board of the Western Baptist Association the "Hub" in the wheel of our activities looking toward the entertaining of the Convention. This, however, does not exclude Pastors of Churches tributary to this Association, or laymen upon whom much of the burden will depend. For the reputation of the citizenry of this state is at stake, as well as is the future of our denomination. "Let there be no strife betwixt me and thee," this is no time for misunderstandings, nor to reward or punish enemies; the interest of our people is at stake; let each of us do our best and retake that which we may have lost. REMOVAL NOTICE Doctor J. S. OUTLAW Announces the removal of his offices from Wilson Building, 102 South Spring street, to Rooms 319 and 320 (Third Floor) BRYSON BLDG., 145 S. Spring Street Office Hours 1 p. m. to 5 p. m. Sundays-By Appointment Phone: MAIN 5451 THE BYSTANDER THE BROOKLYN BROTHERS Out at my Alma Mater, the Los Angeles High Scol, is one Mr. Diggs. We are not aware as to what sort of an excavator this young man is in books but we can glean from the reluctant testimony of his enemies that he is some digger on the track. Last week this youngster of our fold only copped three first plaques for L. A. in the A. A-Poly track meet. This is good enough for anybody. As a rule good athletes are poor students. Along with our praise we would caution our meritorious friend so that his present stamina and usefulness spent on the track shall typify him in the classroom and in after life when his school days are o'er. EASTER With the budding of Spring and its flowers, with the air balmy and fragrant with the calla and Easter lily, there is so much good sense in the present arrangement of seasons until if the Creator of Heaven had permitted us with our critical and discriminating taste to choose a better and more appropriate period for Easter, it would have been an impossible task. Sunday is Easter, and whether we are followers of God, or Conscientious objectors, we can all join harmoniously in declaring such a day blessed and fittingly arranged for triumph and resurrection. EPOCH MAKING Howard University, the Colored man's best bet for higher education, stimulated by the activity of wide awake Alumni Associations, has given prompt, hearty and favorable consideration to the Memorial presented to the Board of Trustees by the Executive Committee of the General Alumni Association, demanding potential voice: (a) In the election of Trustees, (b) In the election of President, (c) In all other propositions concerning the welfare of the University. This is a steady and progressive step. It invites interest and follows the precedents of the leading colleges of our land. Dotted from Coast to Gulf and Great Lakes are sons of Howard who know the heart throbs and natural sympathies of Colored people, who have brought prestige, honor and glory to our beloved Alma Mater, and now to obtain this great inheritance—the conduct of affairs—is to enlist renewed effort and great interest in the greatest of schools. COMMENTS A score of Indians held a "Pow Wow" in the State of Utah and with the help of a little of the pre-Volsteadan fluid conjured up and magnified their wrongs until they were tempted to resort to their ancient custom and took to the "War Path." Tomahawks are poor weapons to pit against machine guns and TNT, and even the rocky fastness can't hide them from the eyes of the soaring plane. Foolish Indian: Soon he will be either annihilated or placed in irons for the remainder of his life. Its a far stretch from the wilds of Utah to the civilization of N. Y. But Brooklyn staged a "Wild West" that was a hair raiser. A trace of "Bucks" became peeved when they gazed at the sky scrapers of the Metropolis, and figured on how much their ancestors had been cheated when Father Knickerbocker bought Manhattan for a string of beads. They became so peeved that they started a young war and tore the raiment from the "white sqaws and pappooses" sent the white braves to the tall buildings—there were no trees—and were only conquered when the reenforcements of the minions of the law came to the rescue of their fellows. Down in Georgia the Christian? savages put on a better exhibition of the days of Leatherstocking and Daniel Boone, than the warriors of Utah and Broadway. They did it according to the best ethics of savagery. They had no real grievance against their victim save that his skin was of a darker hue. They sank an iron rod in the earth, chained their victim to it, and then lighted the fagots piled at his feet. When the flames began to hiss about his charring body they danced about, and took turns in thrusting red hot irons down his throat and into his eyes: meanwhile chanting the song of RACIAL HATE. The government of the United States took cognizance of the uprising in Utah, and if it had been more pretentious, would, no doubt, have called the troops from Governors Island to quell the Brooklyn braves. But, as openly as the law was violated in that other uprising, and as atrocious as the act was; the Government failed to act. It might be that there is a difference between the savagery of "Poor Lo" and the savagery sponsored by Christian? civilization. Political Appointments We claim, that we as a people, place to much stress on the importance of political appointments. There never was a political appointee that amounted to a "Tinker's D" as far as his usefulness in forwarding the interest of the Race is concerned. They are bound to, and compelled to, obey the mandates of those who appointed them, and they are so intent upon retaining their jobs that other obligations are forgotten or ignored. It is better to elect one legislator than to have a hundred appointees. A spokesman in the halls of Congress is worth all the other cuts of political pie doled out. It is better, far better, to put forward a candidate for office (an elective office) and be defeated, than to kow tow and drool at the mouth like a hungry hound waiting for a bone, you have at least made an effort for political recognition. It is refreshing to learn that that fact his been recognized in Los Angeles and that they are supporting a candidate for the City Council. With a spokesman in the Council, the property owner will not have to form protective associations for the purpose of keeping their property surroundings up to the sanitary standard desired. They wont have to beg some reluctant councilman to bestow that which is their right. It cannot be gainsaid, that Los Angeles has one of the most beautiful residential sections occupied by Negroes any where in these United States. They should have in the city Council a representative to look after their growing interest. In one section alone the residential property is valued, conservatively, at over one million six hundred thousand dollars, ($1,600,000.00). Of course we expect an elective position to be filled by one whose integrity and honesty is unquestioned. Optimism This is a good time for those who are despondent for the welfare of the Race, and are deploring racial conditions, to open up their eyes and allow the sun ray of optimism to clarify their sight. When the history of the Race for the past decade is reviewed we note a progress that is highly gratifying, though far from being satisfactory. Dont you remember the old days that when a Republican was elected to the presidency, the Negroes would look upon it as a special dispensation of Providence. A delegation of Bishops and Preachers would buy a Bible and present it in the name of the Race. Then they would look for some special favors because of their color. Then there came along a President who did not believe in the color question, but, said that, "The door of opportunity should be opened to all alike." He with drew his hand from the color theory of political support, and said "Walk alone." It was hard to get away from the old conditions, but years have proved his wisdom, and, with the exception of some of those old fossils who have not as yet gone to their last resting place, we hear very little about the appointment, to political office because of Race. As Doc Coue would say, "Every day in every way, politically, we are growing better." It Happened in Oakland. Judging from the following incident, the welfare clubs for Race betterment in Oakland have their work cut out for them. With the influx of immigrants from the South there is some who bring former environment with them. There is a character who parades the section of West Oakland, where that class of the opposite race who know nothing of the refined Negro element, reside, and whose antics reflect on the entire Race. He was noticed Sunday parading with a beaver hat surmounted by a tin can, "a la Hooligan" trimmed with feathers of variegated color. He carried a long tin pan which he strummed with his fingers, meantime chanting a "voodoo" song. The poor white element of that section followed him making remarks which would have been resented by any respecting person, but was taken as jest by the minister. If the fellow is crazy he should be taken care of; and if he is a degenerate; he should be imprisoned, or if only ignorant of the ethics of north ern decorum, he should be taken in hand by someone of the welfare so cleties and instructed in the ethics of RACIAL PRIDE. MEXICO---LAND OF THE NE GRO'S OPPORTUNITY. Have you noticed that in the past four months the National Geographic magazine has twice made Western Mexico its central theme? If you did, you perhaps remember that this fruitful opportunity-land was freely praised. Don't think that it is simply beautiful scenery that has attracted these men. They see there vast undeveloped wealth for some thrifty and venturous persons. Already they have received such a hearing that men from all classes are down there looking the situation over with intentions of investing and hundreds of others stand on the threshold of similar designs. Visionary Negroes Visionary Negroes For five years a handful of visionary Negroes have been holding a panorama of this region before their fellows and trying to convince them that there is a chance to think fast and beat their wily white brethren to a great project. It was not a highly popular message because it was new and meant venture. It meant setting out where no paths had been worn and no white man had led. Since then a few hunters and hoboes have wandered down through the vicinity, and have come back with a tale that cures deafness. White people fall for it head first. White Students Off For Mexico Just this week two of the most promising and talented students in the College where I attend, left school and started for the University of Mexico. It is not that Mexico's educational system is even fit to compare with that of the U. S.; these fellows are out to succeed in this most promising field. When more of these folk go into Mexico with their prejudices and corrupt society with the racial bitterness that is their alone, then perhaps the Negro will be willing to follow; then boot-blacking and table-waiting will flourish for the sons of Ham "in the tents of his brethren." White Colonization White associations have been organized (right in Los Angeles) to push colonization schemes that will put them in a situation to favorably tap the resources of that country. In spite of opposition to their greedy intention they continue to shove on. Mexico, on the other hand, continues to invite Negro colonists. But Negroes, in their jovial satisfaction, choose rather to be hewers of wood and drawers of water in the white man's country. And just as long as they stand by idly waiting for the white man's approbation will they ever be the menials of the land. The Gospel of Venture Iye got a gospel of venture that I want to propound, a doctrine of independent and original endeavor in new fields. It is the only way to locate that success-gem we are all looking for, and it is the only way to better our unhappy situation in this nations' economy. This Mexico proposition strikes me as about as sure a venture as a person could hope for. Some colored people are bold to state that they fear inconvenience and discomfort in establishing in a country like Mexico. They are afraid of bandit raids and governmental strife—as if their present situation were a model of tranquility. A-Mystery It is strange that a white physician will give up his city practice in the U. S. and go to one of the Mexican towns across the border to practice where his services are in greater demand, while his swarthy chauffeur hesitates fearing that his condition may not be bettered and that his discomforts might be increased. I said it is strange; I meant it is ridiculous. Of all people the Negro should be the most willing to plunge into venturesome projects for his racial uplift—he has less to lose. This does not mean recklessness, nor does it mean he should think less seriously of each move or count the cost less accurately. It means count for yourself, count fast, and act before someone else steps in and spoils the opportunities. Look into this Lower California project again at your leisure. SERVILE GARVYITES CAUSE GREAT UPROAR IN NEW OR- LEANS Hot Denunciation of U. N. I. A. Branch Follows Letter to Mayor Endorsing Jim Crow Laws. (Crusader Service) NEW ORLEANS. La., March. 21.— All self-respecting citizens of color here are up in arms against the local branch of The Universal Negro Improvement Association. Marcus Garvey's organization, as the result of the infamous letter to Mayor McShane in which a group of women, members of The U. N. I. A. went on record as upholding and endorsing Jim Crow laws, declaring that "we like your Jim Crow laws in that they defend the purity of races." The letter pleaded that the mayor lift the police surveillance to which, ever since the murder of Dr. Easton, the Garvey organization has been subjected. The Garveyites gave copies of the letter to the white press, and its publication in the columns of the enemy papers has aroused a fierce storm of protest and indignation in all circles outside of the Garvey crowd. The letter, the full text of which follows, also refers to the American birth of the writers, members of the Garvey organization: New Orleans, La., Feb. 16, 1923. "Honorable Andrew J. McShane, "Mayor, City of New Orleans, "City Hall. "Honored Sir: "We, as members of the New Orleans division of the Universal Negro improvement Association, wives and daughters of the same, an organization that stands for improvement and uplift work among Negroes, do hereby present to you our grievance for having been called undesirables by some newspapers on date of January 19 and for being dangerous characters, in spite of the fact that we were born in Louisiana graduated from Louisiana schools and are property owners and tax payers; never having been arrested before or considered base neighbors by anyone anywhere. "It is true that some of us are not church members, neither have we any intention of joining church until we find a leader who is truly following in the footsteps of Jesus, and caring for the hungry naked children of the poor, as Christians. Then there will be no need of juvenile courts, but the majority of those professing to lead are busy building beautiful homes for themselves and buying beautiful automobiles while they fool fools about hell fire for a living. "The Universal Negro Improvement Association is our church, our club house, our theatre, our fraternal order and our school and we will never forsake it while we live neither will our men forsake it, but fear has crept into our hearts because of the police's continued interference with our meetings. We are afraid that some night we may have serious trouble." "On one hand we hear of members and friends speaking of leaving New Orleans to make their homes elsewhere. Therefore we appeal to you to read our constitution that you may know what our organization stands for. Then help us by coming out to our meeting on Sunday night and assuring our members that. New Orleans is a city of fair play, even for its most humble and ignorant law abiding black citizens as well as law abiding black strangers." "We like your 'Jim Crow laws in that they defend the purity of races, and any person married to any but a Negro cannot become a member of our organization." "We are not members of the Negro 400 of New Orleans, which is composed of that class who are spending their time imitating the rich whites, with card parties, eating parties and studying Spanish so as to be able to pass for anything but a Negro, thereby getting a chance to associate with you. We are not as ashamed of the race to which we belong and we feel sure that God made black skin and kinky hair because He desired to express Himself in that type as well as in any other. "We are accused of being implicated in the murder of J. W. H. Eason, who was fatally shot in this city on the night of January 1, 1923. Of this we can truthfully say, we know nothing. We do know, however, that Mr. Eason was a handsome, intelligent, money-spending woman chaser. If he could speak now, no doubt he would tell the world that New Orleans is a dangerous place for strangers to indulge in that kind of game. "Therefore, may we expect you at our meeting on Sunday night with a message of peace and protection that we may feel safe to hold our meeting in New Orleans, La. "Very respectfully yours, Mrs. G. D. DANS, R. N. Mrs. OCTAVIA FRANKLIN Mrs. ESSIE HATHAWAY Miss FLORENCE WATTERHOUSE "Voluntary Committee of the Universal Negro Improvement Ass." WHAT SHALL WE DO? What tactics must we adopt as a result of this world trend? We must carefully build up our state and maintain the workmen's leadership over the peasants, but increase the latter's confidence and exercise maximum economy. Our advantage is that the whole world is in a state of evolution. Our disadvantage is that capitalists have succeeded in splitting the world. This split is further complicated by the fact that Germany, the foremost cultured country of capitalistic development, cannot succeed in getting on her feet. All the capitalistic powers of the West prey upon Germany and refuse to allow her to rise. On the other hand, the entire East with hundreds of millions of exploited toilers has been driven to the last stage of human endurance. But in this article we are interested in the question of the inevitability of victory for Socialism, but in the question of what tactics we should adopt to prevent the Western European counter-revolutionary powers from crushing us. In order to insure our existence till the next military clash be the counter-revolutionary imperial West and the revolutionally alistic East between the most civil states in the world and the bad Oriental states, which, however, situate a majority—this majority become civilized. Can we avoid a clash with the perialistic states? Will theences between imperialistic shape themselves so as to give pause for breath like we once reac as a result of American-Japanese fortunes? Many Questions Involved A solution of the problem depends upon many questions. An overwhelming majority of the human race will forced to fight by capitalism if The outcome of the fight depends the fact that Russia, India, China other Eastern nations represent majority of the world's population This majority is all ready to be d into the fight. Therefore, the victory of Socialism is unquestion. Meantime we are faced with question: Can we stand fast until western European states come their development toward Socialism This development won't come simultaneous ripening, but as a result of the exploitation of one conquer country by another. Such exploite influences the entire Orient, where revolutionary movement cannot halted any longer. LOS ANGELES, Calif., Match Dr. W. E. B.

Shinohara Japanese Eye Specialist 107½ E. First St., Los Angeles, Calif. Hours of Consultation 10 to 12 a. m., 2 to p. m.; Sunday 10 12 a. m. M. B. By: DR. E. B. LEWIS, B. Sc., M. D. 1618½ East 9th Street Your knowledge depends upon the precise reception your senses give to things around you. If your eyes, ears, muscles, skin and other senses are inattentive or narrowed in their fields of activity, your powers are little better than if you were deaf or near-sighted. You are only as mentally alert as your ears, eyes, muscles and other senses are hare and hearty. It is a disagreeable admission and an unfair condition, but none the less true, that anyone "hard of hearing" seldom is able to keep up with the advance guards of finance, medicine, economics, politics or business. Deafness, which may begin at birth, sometimes so alters the ventpipe between the ear and the throat—the ostachian tube and the more delicate structures of the ear as to bring about partial or complete, lifelong disability. Careful Attention Needed Other types of deafness, however, originate in infections in the middle ear, all too lightly regarded as "colds." These may arise from adenoids, from enlarged tonsils, nasal obstructions, scarlet fever, caracase treated by such vicious remedies as oil and other ailments of childhood's unhappy hours. Deafness from any of these causes, if taken in hand early enough by a real aurist, not a mere "ear specialist," like the wife in the novel, "in name only," very likely can be cured. Treatment, however, of a radical sort must be begun before the damage spreads to the middle, ear and the eustachian tube. When the latter air pipe is blocked mechanically it is often the sequence of uncorrected conditions in the nose, the pharynx above the palate, which states ar only too often known under that black sheep of a waste-basket term, "catarrh." If the cause of carache, running ears and other ear troubles is to be found in the nasal, pharyngeal, tonsillar and adenoid pathology, the prompt removal of these sources spells a saving of your auditory sense. Drainage Sometimes Required If fluids are discharged from the ear, the treatment must include the security of an open enchastian tube, and a free outlet for the pent-up discharge. The latter is to be drained into the nose and throat, and cleaned out by a skilful aurist. If, perhaps this infectious material invades the middle ear instead of running out freely into the throat and mouth cavity, serious injury may be done to the sense of hearing. The construction of the middle, car is such that microbes, dirt, matter and bacteria cannot enter it even to the slightest degree when damaging its delicate fabric. Should it be discovered and correctly treated when simple congestion is present, the sufferer may barely escape with his hearing intact. The affection may subside before the anatomy is involved. Free drainage at the safest point is the thing to obtain, but it is an unfortunate truth that most mothers and fathers "let nature take its course" or put oil in the ears at this time instead of consulting an authority on the ears. The middle ear should not be inflated, especially if drainage is obtained; at least not until all the exuding fluid either has been drained through a tube, has been absorbed or otherwise caused to cease to flow. Wisdom is the better part of valor in treating diseases of the ear.

THE 1923 NEGRO YEAR BOOK Paper Cover, Per Copy 50c Board Covers, Per Copy $1.00 MEXICO NOT BARRING COLORED IMMIGRANT (Crusader Service.) MEXICO CITY, Mex. March 21. High officials in The Mexican Government brand as utterly false and malicious the statement appearing in the American press to the effect that Mexico has changed her traditional policy of friendship towards the Negro American and intends to bar Negro colonists henceforth. According to these officials, Negro colonists are as welcome as ever and the statement that they are not is a canard broadcasted by the white American and British oil interests who are alarmed at the headway beez made by colored people from the United States. The opposition of the oil interests is chiefly against permitting the colored people to colonize in the Tampico and San Luis Potosí districts, which are in the heart of the Mexican oil belt. On January 25, 2010 colony of Oklahoma colored people started for San Luis Potosí, in the heart of tropical Mexico. Other colonists have gone to the Santa Clara Valley district on the west coast of Mexico about 200 miles below Los Angeles, Calif. In this district the Lower California Land & Development Co., of Los Angeles, a Negro Corporation, owns and controls a vast estate of over 5000 acres of valuable farming, mining and oil lands. In spite of the opposition of the oil interests, this movement to open up the fertile valleys of Lower California to the colored people has the hearty support not only of President Obregon but of the Mexican government as a whole, the Chamber of Commerce of San Diego and Los Angeles, Calif., and other influential interests. --- SICKNESS AND HEALTH INSURANCE---FOR MEN AND WOMEN The Western Casualty Company Pays from $10.00 to $50.00 per week for any disease or accident.
