Coming! Concert DeLuxe, Philharmonic Auditorium, Monday Night, April 30th, First A. M. E. Choir, Under the Direction of Prof. Elmer C. Bartlett PHONE 150-44 VOL. 37 FRANK WHITE REINSTA "He's a man, for a that!" Regardless of color or condition, Officer Frank White ranks as high as any of them come. Having served on the police force for more than a half score years, during which time he has demonstrated his sterling worth as an officer and a citizen, Officer White stands preeminent in his class as a representative of the New Negro. As a police officer, he knows no color, kind or social standing. "Enforce the Law," is his slogan, and in the Eastern sections of the city, where Officer White has for the most part been stationed, he has tried conscientiously to better conditions for all classes. Some time ago, through political intrigue, Officer White was removed as Sergeant of the Purity Squad. But those who had the best interests of the community at heart at once saw that conditions on the East Side, morally and otherwise, grew rapidly DR. BROWNING LAID TO REST American Woodmen Officiate At Funeral The funeral of Dr. Wm. Browning, noted and popular dentist of Los Angeles, was held Mouday at 2 P. M. from the Independent Church. An hour before the time for the funeral the friends of the noted dentist began to pour into the church. Dr. N. P. Greggs, pastor of the Independent Church, delivered one of the most beautiful and touching funeral sermons ever listened to. One after hearing such a sermon could not but pause to contemplate the uncertainty of human life. Dr. Greggs also highly commended the American Woodmen fraternity for the prompt manner in which they had settled their obligations to the deceased's neighbors and beneficiaries. Rev. Father Cleghorn of the St. Philips Church also spoke beautifully of his friendship for the deceased add paid a very high tribute to the medical profession, admonishing them that oftimes they must serve both as physician and minister. The Medical profession attended as a body and acted as nail bearers Dr Browning was a member of the American Woodman and this fraternally society performed the funeral obsequies at the church. Standing at the head of the casket, flanked on each side by a large number of beautiful designs, the State Supervisor of the Woodman, Mr. B. H. Graham, spoke briefly of Dr. Browning as a neighbor of the Woodman and told how the organization had rendered assistance during his illness, and explaining that on Saturday before the funeral he had settled in fall every claim and obligation which the Woodman owed to the beneficaries of the deceased. Dr. S. D. Cotterell read the resolutions in behalf of the Woodman. The funeral was in charge of Conner and Johnson, undertakers, and interment took place at the beautiful Rosedale Cemetery. COLORED MAN WINS CIVIL RIGHTS SUIT E. J. Moore, City Letter Carrier, Wins Suit against Chicago Quick Lunch Cafe. Atty E. C. J. Jennings Sesera. E. J. Moore, a letter carrier of this city and reader of "Current Topic" of the Los Angeles Quick Lunch cafe last Tuesday in department 20, over which Judge Carlos Hardy presided. Several months ago Mr. Moore and a friend stopped at this cafe to get a lunch but were refused service, the manager stating positively that they Coming!

Hence the wise ones have seen fit to put him back on the job, for which he is so well qualified by reason of his bearing, his gentility of manner, and his irrefoachable integrity—and now a prospect of general betterment in the 'victim' of Central avenue looms brightly on the horizon. The better class of the citizenry of Central avenue and the East Side have pledged Officer White their support in cleaning out boot-legging joints and houses of assignation, and those of our camouflaged law-violators who have strutted up and down our thoroughfares boasting of police "protection," will henceforth have to "watch their step" for Officer White and the Purity Squad have determined to make the atmosphere in which the up-coming generation depends for its development, purer, cleaner and sweeter—"for a' that!" did not serve colored people there. Mr. Moore immediately entered suit against the cafe, but because of the heavy docket the case was not reached until last week. When attorney for defendants realized that their case was hopelessly lost he at once advised his clients to make a settlement satisfactory to plaintiff. Atty. E. C. Jennings represented Mr. E. J. Moore. CHANDLER OWEN TO LECTURE PUBLIC TO CHOOSE SUBJECT OF HIS ADDRESS The public is to have the opportunity to choose the subject upon which the Hon.

C.—March 22. "We are a God-for-saken people," said Judge O. H. Allen in his charge to the Hertford County Grand Jury at Winton. Judge Allen, who was serving as emergency judge at the one week's term of court, deplored the tendency of the modern age to want something different. Continuing, he said: "Although the state has set up many agencies for the improvement of society, juvenile courts and other courts have been instituted, institutions for the feeble-minded, for the unfortunate woman, and schools for correction for the young generation, yet there is more crime and we are getting farther away from the principles of God all the time. If we cannot have something new we call an old thing by a new name. It is a period of unrest and nervousness, and back of it there is no good sign or motive."—L. A. Daily Journal, Mar. 23, 1923. It must be so, because their best minds say it is. A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA MARCH; 31, 1923 Colored Students OUSTED From Southern California Yearly Dance News comes to us that at the Annual Class Day Dance of the University of Southern California—an occasion held by all universities and colleges as one of the greatest of the season, when faculty and students and their invited guests in gala attire come together in one grand celebration—a number of students of color appeared, appropriately arrayed in their class colors, to make merry with their fellow-students. They were summarily notified that their presence was obnoxious, and were asked to take their hats and coats and leave the building as soon as possible. It is said that these Colored students consulted the Dean as to the legality of this "notice," and the Dean declared that he did not concur in any sphere about the. However, the atmosphere became so leey that they deserved it expedient to take their departure as unostentatious as possible. It appears to us that this is a matter to be taken up by our Assemblyman, right now, while the Legislature is in session, for we believe that this institution—the University of Southern California—receives an appropriation from the. State, said appropriation being a portion of taxes paid, not by white people alone, but by all the people of the State of California. GRIFFITH JONES WILL BE HEARD GRIFFITH JONES WILL BE HEARD On Sunday evening, April 1, 1923, at the Douglas Temple, Griffith, well-known attorney, will deliver a lecture entitled "Are We Face to Face with a Revolution?" Attorney Griffith Jones is conceded to be one of the most eloquent orators upon the American platform and has turned many thousands away unable to secure seats from the largest theaters and halls in the country. This is not the first time that Mr. Jones has addressed he members of the Douglas Temple. His logic is always so sound that he has attracted immense audiences in the past. The public should not fail to hear him this coming Sunday evening. It will be remembered that the law firm of Griffith Jones & John J. Craig recently represented Mrs. Lela Hutson in her suit against the Owl Drug Company, when The Owl Drug Company was ordered to pay $500.00 for discriminating against Mrs. Hutson on account of her color. This is only one of the many prominent cases involving our people that this firm has secured successful results out. For these reasons, if for no other, the members of our race should turn out in full force to hear Mr. Jones. ON THE WING We arrived at Portland on Tuesday at 9:15 a.m. m. Erugene W. Minor, the brilliant young disciple of Blackstone of that city and an emissary of New Northwest Lodge met ug and hustled us in a cab and we pulled up at the palatial residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Stanley which was to be our place of abode during our stay in Portland. Mr. Stanley after we had rested a moment brought forth his enclosed car and proceeded to show us Port land and to at the same time pay our respects to various officials of the local Odd Fellow Lodge and allow us to pay our courtesy to the local newspapers. At the 'Advocate office we found, the managing editor at her post of duty and were warmly welcomed; we were offered the freedom of the office and received appreciative compliments upon the continued progress of the. Soaring Eagle. Mrs. Cannady and her husband who is the editor in chief of the Advocate, are broad gauged in their views and unselfish in their devotion to the press and we always appreciate meeting them, we were only sorry that our time would not permit seeing more of them and especially regretted missing the stalwart journalist E. D. Cannady. We also paid our respects to the Portland Times, while the editor and associate were neither one in, we left our card and regretted our failure to meet them personally. Big Time Tuesday Night Tuesday night was a historic night for the Colored citizens of Portland as on this occasion at Old Fellows hall we conducted the ceremonies inducting this lodge which was organized in 1884 into the California Jurisdiction. The ceremonies attending the same were indeed imposing in grandeur and mark a new en of progress for Odd Fellows in the Northwest. The Household of Ruth was invited by the Grand Master as his especial guests for the occasions. A meet touching address was delivered by the Grand Master, and addresses of welcome and response were made by Attorney Eugene W. Minor, J. W. Stanley also Mrs. Virgil Keene of the Household of Ruth and others. After the exercises of transferring and inducting New Northwest Lodge as a part and parcel of District Grand Lodge No. 22 California Jurisdiction the body adjourned for a most sumptuous banquet and all departed declaring it to be the greatest fraternal event which had ever taken place in this section. Other Side Lights of Portland As we forestated attorney Minor is the coming legal high of the Coast He is wonderful opportunity and it seems to us he is taking a tag of the same to the utmost. J. W. Stanley our host and his very splendid wife made everything so pleasant that we shall ever hold them in grateful remembrance. Mr. Stanley is one of the substantial citizens of Portland and is active in both church and fraternal circles, his wife likewise is a business woman actively engaged in the real business. Fred Thomas, the caterer, is well known in Los Angeles where he committed larceny in the first degree when he purloined one of our fairest daughters and made her Mrs. Thomas of Portland. We met Fred; he is a wide awake and hustling business man and furnishes the wares for all of Portland's big gatherings. He has a ten thousand stock of clothes and silverware, two cars. in company with Mr. Stanley we visited him and his wife and he captured us and made us day behind our schedule. He dined to the limit and would have wined us as comes in for no small degree of credit for the fame of the Thomas family. We met Rev. J. W. Anderson, formerly of Sacramento and he is just completing one of the most pretentious churches owned by the Baptist denomination on the Coast. He certainly deserves. great credit for his wonderful work in this hallwick. We also had the pleasure of meeting Rev. A. R. Knox of the A. M. E. Church and his amiable wife. It was with regret that we could not accept the invitation for us to address his congregation on Sunday, but we had to be on our way. Rev. E. J. McGruder formerly of Harvard and a very splendid gentleman is nicely situated high up in the city, where we can see a magnificent future. We made a special trip see our good friend and brother. Among others whom we visited were Edward J. Watson, Mr. Beaton, Eugene W. Miniskey and Franklin, to to dispoint quite a few on account of our limited time. NATIONAL AIRLESS TIRE CO. Los Angeles, Calif. March 5, 1923. Mr. D. A. Hodge. 70% E. 18th Street, City Dear Sir: Your letter of February, 24th is at hand and should have been answered sooner, but owing to an overwhelming amount of work I have been unable to get to it until now. If there is any man living who respects a man for what he is regardless of color, I believe I may truthfully, and I hope modestly say, I am that man. I mean a bad character is, that I do not care how white his face may be, and a good character is, good. I do not care how big his face may be. I do my estimation and thoughts I draw no distinction whatever. And that is true not only of your race and nationality, but it is true in my estimation of every other race or nationality. We have a great deal of business with the Japanese and I have found them thorough gentlemen in every sense of the word. The remark I made was made without the slightest thought or even the remotest intimation of discredit or disrespect to you or your race. I am frank to say, however, since you have called my attention to the matter, that I do not believe white people should use that term in reference to colored people, and thank you for calling my attention to the matter, and will undoubtedly be cautious not to use the term again. Notwithstanding this fact, I had to go to the dictionary to discover that I had misused the word, as I was entirely ignorant of the fact that the term carried with it any coloring of disrespect. I doubt whether the majority of white people know that such is the case. Thanking you again for your letter, and trusting you may believe me a sincere friend to you and your people, I am. Very truly yours. C. H. BRADEN. ATHLETES SHOW THEIR PROWESS ATHLETES SHOW THEIR PROWESS HOLD OWN IN TRACK AND FIELD MEETS DURING PAST WEEK Work of Colored Boys Is Feature in Several Meets. By Track N. Thusiast. Interest ran high in track and field events scheduled for high schools and colleges fast week. Much competition and good physical condition of athletes, were responsible for the fast time made. Out L. A. high way, Charles Diggs, sprint and hurdle flesh, continued his good work and increased his lead for the largest number of points garnered so far this season at the pioneer institution. On Friday in the dual meet with Manual Arts, Diggs put in a good day's work by winning first place in the 120 yd high hurdles, beating Ballantyne and Requa in one of the most exciting and gruelling races of the day in 16:4. the 220 yd. hurdles race was also his. His time was 27, flat: Diggs copped first place in the 100 yd dash in 10:3. He was also a member of the relay team which won from Manual in the fast time of 3 min. 9 sec. Ralph Johnson of Hollywood, competed in the dives throw and the shot put in the dual meet between the foothill and Polytechnic. This was his second time out for frack this season. He managed to place third in the shot put which was won by Coyne of Holly with a heave of 47 ft. 5 in. Franklin high went down to defeat before the track and field team of Lincoln last Friday 91 2-3 to 21 1-3, on Lincoln's oval. George Duncan, Lincoln's star spinner, was nosed out of first place by Lee the Franklin flash in the 100 yds. in the fast time of 10 fath. The timers caught the third man at 10 1-5. Lee also won the 220 yd. beating Duncan in the slow time of 24 fath. Leslie Hurd, the rallisplitters' best bet in the 440 yd. affair ran the prettiest race of the day in the fast time of 53:3. Hurd has been improving in each race and is expected to show up well in the city meet. William Narcisse, youthful writer of High School Notes of the Dispatch, displayed wonderful form and jumped with the best performers in the high jump, although he did not place. Another year will find him a consistent man in this event. Archie Woodyard, of Jefferson won both sprints, beating Rothrock of Long Beach in 10:3 for the 100 yd dash, in the dual meet, staged on Jefferson's field last Friday. He won the 220 yd, dash in the slow time of 24 3-5. Walter Towns placed third in the 120 yd high hurdle race. Salisbury failed to place in the 220 yd low hurdles. Ted Shaw, brother of Ed Shaw of U. S. C. competing in the 160 yd and 220 yd dashed for Moneyin in the annual Central Issue meet held at Occidental last Saturday, won the finals of the hundred in 10-1-5 seconds, which equals the Central record. Showing the same speed, he won the other sprint made in 12-3-5 seconds. Thus he made ten of the twenty-three points scored by Moneyin which placed the team in the finals. He will make a hot combination anywhere. Ian Johnson, U. S. C.'s quartermiller, was third in the 440 yd death in the meet with Stanford, held on Saturday at Bovard Field. He was nosed out of second place by Van汝兰 of Stanford. Martin, the U. S. C. marvel won the event in 49 4-5 seconds. William Btovall, sprinter, and all-round athlete of Southern Branch jodneyed down to San Diego to help his EAGLE team win over the State College track and field men. Stovall won the high jump with a leap of 5ft. fin; the broad jump by over 21ft. and the low hurdles in the very fast time of 26 1-5 seconds. Stovall was there, we'll say. Next year will find him a worthy contender in these events, for he is the Branch's mainstay. CALIFORNIA CITI2ENS CIVIC LEA GUE LAUNCHES MEMBER- SHIP DRIVE Ten years ago we believed what we today know. Starting with the universal affirmative, that all our ours are not political, neither social nor industrial, we have reached the conclusion, down in the conviction that there are as many angles to our race problems as there are schemes, known to and practised by civilized humanity. Thinking how we could best conduct a campaign for a new hold upon the exiting situation, we launched the organization known as The California Citizens League. There was a most urgent need for this businesslike organization. Its objects and purposes were clearly defined. Its appeal was direct to the hearts of Negro men and women who were interested in the welfare of their race. Many strong personalities, stalwart characters, people of influence and discretion cast their hearts ourours. Our society had a harvest of pride, garnered many sheaves of satisfaction. The League gave to thousands a new vision. It pointed out new horizons. It set aright many of the insinuating preachments against Negro manhood rights and citizenship. Much was done to abate that intolerant sentiment which hems the Negro in on every side. Out of the fires of many burnings, out of those sacred fusions of souls, out of the human relationships of the past, this organization greets the citizens of Los Angeles and populace of the State of California for whose betterment this League came forth. And we are held together today without any great physical coercion, due to the fact that our organization has invoked the power of human sympathy, this, because, our aims and objects more nearly conform to the peculiar needs of our people than any other, or similar league. We have been the fearless advocates of any and all legislation that referred to our race, directly or indirectly, wholly or in part, when that legislation had for its object the betterment of our goup. Strong in condemnation of those propositions, measures, enactments and other subterfuges when conceived in political intrigue or nurtured in the secrecy of any all-abiding confiscatory make-shift. Our programs have been based upon the assumption that no people can hope to progress without the establishment of just and humane principles of government. In order that our citizens might know and understand the relation in spirit between himself and the law, what constitutes citizenship, the effect and operation of that citizenship with its attendant rights and duties, The California Citizens Civic League has carried on literary campaigns for the enlightenment of its devoted adherents. We have selected as our motto, "A Better Citizenry and a Broader Patriotism," done especially because we are prompted to service on behalf of others by that altruism which lays freely at the disposal of fellow-citizens all that we are or may ever hope to be. Again, we believe that Patriotism is the highest expression of intelligent self-interest, and, in order to help others, one must be able to help himself. The League is proud of its achievements. Numerous battles have been fought. Our victories have been many and diverse. We have performed many methods, we won the respect and confidence of our people, without which not one single victory could redound to our credit. We were our battles, our victories, you deserve the credit. It is rightfully, honorably yours. That assistance enabled us to correct, harmonize and adjust many cases touching the cardinal points in our citizenship and in our race relationship with the powers that be. In nearly ever instance we won—won because our intensity of purpose, our fair and square dealing appealed to the conscience of organized justice, and because our pleas were made in the name and for the sake of justice, reason and common sense became natural, voluntary arbitrators. Further, The California Citizens $2.00 THE YEAR NO. 1 Southern nce Civic League is strictly American. In idea and ideal it knows no foreign impulse. Fundamentally, it recognizes no clique, no intention other than that of affiliating with men, considering measures that tend toward uplift and true principles of American Citizen- ship. The Roster of the League is thrown open for the reception of new members. No fees or taxations. We hope to add 5000 new names to our register within the next thirty days. The efficient processes of legislation make this membership extension an absolute necessity. For instance, it is comparatively easy for Negroes to elect a member of their group to the Assembly Halls of Sacramento, but it becomes a difficult task to elect a Negro to the City Council in Los Angeles, the former system involves teamwork which cannot supercede the district to which it is lawfully confined and restricted, in the latter case, a name proposed for membership in the City Council must be voted upon in each and every precinct within the city limits. We invite your inspection of our Roster, our History, our business methods and our programs for the future. We are making history. You cannot afford to be left out. The League needs you. You need the League. This reciprocal courtesy makes for a strong, sympathetic understanding among the thinkers and doers of our race.

WHITE SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE AMERICAN WOOD-MEN DIES DENVER, Colo., March 22.—Sucumbing t othe effects of an operation to cancer of the stomach, Honorable C. M. White, Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen died last night at St. Joseph Hospital this city at 7:20. Mr. White had been for some time suffering from the ill effects of his malady but not until his recent return to Denver after an extended itinerary in the East did he decide to submit to an operation. With Mr. White's death the race has lost an ardent worker for the economic freedom of Negroes. the American Woodmen is deprived of a leadership which brought a great organization with more assets of seven thousand dollars to one with assets of one million dollars or more, and not only has Denver, but the nation, lost a leading citizen. Mr. White came to Denver in 1910, to assume active control of the affairs of the American Woodmen and shortly thereafter established his residence here. The major part of his time since then has been spent traveling over the twenty-five states in which Woodmen local organisations exist, devoting his time and energy to the extension of woodcraft. During these trips he had established an enviable reputation as a public speaker, possibly appearing before as many as two thousand audiences. During this period he has also gained a well earned reputation as an organizer, having developed a field force of nearly one thousand men and women and not only do these men and women, but a host of friends made in his frequent trips mourn his loss. Mr. White is survived by his wife, Mrs. Minnie White, and two children, John, who has been attending Lincoln University, and Frances who has been attending Fisk University. The funeral will be held from Shorte Church, Sunday, March 25th, at 1:30 a.m. will be conducted with Woodmen rites and ceremonies. Primitive rites on all parts of the country are en route to Denver to attend the funeral and pay their last respects to this noble character, their Chief. Annual Spring Shirt Walst Dance. A O.

There is enough wealth in Los Angeles among the Negroes to take care of the present labor problem. Millions of dollars of Negro's money lay idle in the big banks and the white man is using it to build big cities and industries where he can employ his children while we just go along and are content with the mop and the bucket. Some of us have the nerve to get angry because the white man won't give our sons and daughters a place in these institutions. You might as well quit resoluting and stump-speeching and do something worthwhile. You are not going to get any consideration until you organize big industries where the bulk of the race folk can find employment. 45,000 Negroes in any city can make its own way and there will be no race problem then. If these 45,000 Negroes would pool just one dollar a month toward an enterprise we could build dozens of factories and not miss the money invested. Let some one with the vision make the attempt and let all of us fall in line. "There is no success without great effort." We must stop looking for something to lean on—let us stand on our feet like men. We can't afford to be always begging and complaining about our condition. We must show some self-respect and learn to do things for ourselves. The world is going crazy with jazz, the modern historical music has given mankind the rickets. It cannot soothe or refresh by its figgety strains. Nobody is satisfied, but everybody is restless and discontent—Jazzy music makes them so. What a changed world it would be if there were more Simeons and Annas waiting for the coming of the Messiah of Truth with open hearts and minds. A neat appearance, which is always necessity doesn't mean that you have to lead the fashions. In seeking praise some of us become dishonest in the means to obtain it. The South is making it unbearable for the aspiring, energetic and thinking Negro. Self-love is the spring of motion which acts on the soul. If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened COMMENTS By: W. J. WHEATON We recently received a letter from a friend signed "Constant Reader." We say friend, because we love "honest to goodness" criticism. He says, "Dear Sir: I read your column in the California Eagle each week and look forward to them with pleasure. Lately you have not been as virile in your writing as formerly. What is the matter? Give us a little more of your old time 'pep.'" It is gratifying to know that we are read and assure "Constant Reader" that it is almost impossible to keep our feet on the "Gas." So if we fall below the standard set for us, occasionally, please bear in mind that we will at all times do the best we can. 0----00----0 The "Boottleger" is receiving attention from both the Federal and State authorities. President Coolidge seeks the co-operation of the Governors and has asked their aid in stamping out the illicit manufacture and sale of the contraband stuff. But Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania places the blame for laxity of enforcement on the Federal Government, and says that "It is too much to expect that the States should be required to pick up the bird-shot scattered all over the floor by the failure of the Federal Government to check the flood of illegal liquor at its source." One glance at the names on a list of accused "Boot Leggers" and one should be convinced of the means of relief. Take the Leviathan, that's the biggest ship, and send them home as soon as caught. Of course it might work a hardship on some who claim American citizenship, but then they would be so few that the Federal prisons would hold them for a period of years. Prohibition as it is now enforced is one of the biggest fares that ever made a querued under the guise of law. We except the 14th, and 15th. Amendments as their enforcement was never tried.

He considered the gruesome job which he formerly held, as an art and himself as a master artist. Well! after all it is as "Man thinkk." It would be a splendid thing if some of our political leaders could be induced to superintend the erection of their political guilotines. We notice that some of the most notorious names in our "Night world" are linking the names of men prominent in local and national life, as patrons of questionable enterprises. Upon inquiry it is learned that numbers of the names exploited have been used without the consent of the persons named. "Votes is Votes" but then the standing of a people in any community should not be placed in jeopardy by the assumption of a detrimental leadership. There is not sufficient stress placed on civic duties by the race, and then we decvry the activities of the mih who built with a trowel spoilsmen.

Thousands of "World's war" veterans from the states and Canada were in attendance. The flag with the strines and lone star, that of the Republic of Liberia, was among the public decorations. The parade was colorful and filled with the martial spirit. At the session many resolutions were passed, but the one that stirred the delegates was that denouncing the K. K. K. The South fought the mention of the name after it had failed to table the entire resolution. Several of the other states further north were divided on the adoption of the measure, notably, Indiana. 0----00----0 After a heated debate on the floor of convention the adoption of the resolution was made after it had been decided to not mention names. Even with the name omitted it was obvious that the measure was a direct blow at the Klan. Southern delegates were noticeable by their actions when riding on our public utilities. Often they would without looking, sit beside some colored person and when the color of their neighbor was apparent would jump up with alacrity. There are numbers of dark complexioned people in San Francisco, so often. 0----00----0 One militant "Southern iady" was so incensed that she told the man who received the fares on the street car that "If he didn't make that "Darkev" move up in the other end of the car she would report him. She being from Alabama: "Well—Madam" replied the Conductor." The only wav that you can avoid riding in the same car with colored folklup here to hire you must not go back to Alabama just restishing how the egothim of the poorer class of petrils from those sections gets the best of them. It is hard for them to realize there are other parts of the country. Even those who are making their homes with us here, always talk of the supremacy of southern products, and vet, they remain with us. Can't drive them away. 0----00----0 After all: You can not legislate pridjudice away. It is drilled into a certain class of people in the south. It is, for political reasons, a part of their education. Predjudice must be met with education, and without doubt some of the people who visited with us went away with different opinions than people in public places was of The decorum of the colored those they brought. those they brought. the best. It was noticable to the stranger, and it was remarked that such conduct in public was a beneficial educator. California has her problem and we must continue to educate as fast as they arrive. those able to compete will be a prize winner. "Everybody Wins." To be sure, the wholesome spirit of fairness with which the Eagle will distribute this vast array of gifts and the absolute guarantee of a cash prize to every active participant has brought forth many expressions of approval. The Eagle's gigantic gift election should 'send or bring their nominations immediately.

These prizes aggregate $4,000,000 expenditure on the part of The Eagle. The chance of a lifetime is open to you now. There is nothing difficult for you to do.

That is the kind of a prize The Eagle is going to give some enthralling man or woman who is nominated in its big campaign. HEADQUARTERS BUSY All during the past week, again, the campaign manager at The Eagle office has been busy answering questions from men and women who call to find out if they had read the liberal offer correctly and to know the details of this gigantic gift-giving proposition. Several candidates brought with them quite a few of the 100 vote coupons. Telephone calls were frequent—so much so that the pretty young lady who answers the office phone barely had time to go out to lunch for her daily allotment of Coany one sex either. For one of the in-Interest is not being confined to coa Colas. teresting features is the fact that quite a few men have also inquired about the campaign. In fact, it appears from the indications that there will be about as many men as women and girls interested in the Grand Prize Distribution. A REAL FORTUNE The one big feature of the election which instantly attracts the attention and amazes so many callers is the fact that a participant CANNOT LOSE. Every active candidate is guaranteed either a cash prize or one of the larger awards. And, when it is realized that the cash guarantee on every subscription is TWENTY per cent, it is easy to see how much money is in store for those who do not win the Reo or one of the big cash awards. On every yearly renewal or subscription, the candidate in whose favor it is receives forty cents. On every two-year subscription, the cash commission is 80 cents. So the campaign simply means that those able to compete will be a prize winner. "Everybody wins". To be sure, the wholesome spirit of fairness with which The Eagle will distribute this vast array of gifts and the absolute guarantee of a cash prize to every active participant has brought forth many expressions of approval. SHOULD ENTER NOW Persons contemplating entering The Eagle's gigantic gift election should send or bring their nominations immediately. Those who are interested in seeing their friends become candidates should see that they are nominated without further delay. All nominations received now will be given credit for 5,000 votes. These prizes aggregate $4,000.00 expenditure on the part of The Eagle. The chance of a lifetime is open to you now. There is nothing difficult for you to do. A nomination blank will be found on page 1 for you to use in entering the election. If you have read over the prize list (see announcement on page 9) you can-readi- ly see what a big and wonderful chance it is for you. Every single prize in the list means happiness to the winner. THE FIRST GRAND PRIZE Surely a greater opportunity never knocked at your door. The first grand prize in The Eagle's $4,000.00 campaign is a $1,795 Reo Phaeton automobile—the best friend and companion a family ever had. It laughs at distance, gives pleasure and health and makes the wonders of the country and city equally accessible. This beautiful car will mean many a year's pleasure. It will put glowing color into mother's cheeks, take the kinks out of father's taut nerves and take you where you want to go quickly and comfortably—through the beauties of the city or the open country. This fine Reo Six will take you where the breezes come in from fragrantly scented fields, to the summer gardens where myriad lights twinkle and all is joy and pleasure or out to the cool beauty of the parks and boulevards. This is the kind of prize The Eagle is going to give some enterprising man or woman who is nominated in its big campaign. CAMPAIGN JUST STARTING The campaign, which is just starting, is open to any reputable reader of this paper. All that is necessary to enter the campaign is to clip out the nomination blank appearing on page 1. Fill in your name, and address and send or bring it to The California Eagle, Campaign Headquarters, 822 Central Avenue. Upon receipt of this nomination blank a complete oatfit will be given you, together with detailed information. Thus equipped, you have but to see your friends and neighbors, relatives and acquaintances and have them save their free voting coupons and get them to pay up a subscription to The Eagle. Votes are allowed on new and old subscriptions alike. And the votes pile up mightly quickly when your friends know that you are in the campaign in earnest. FRIENDS OF CANDIDATES ACTIVE So far, more votes have been brought or sent to The Eagle by friends of the candidates than most of those nominated have secured themselves. This shows the interest friends of the candidates have in helping their favorites win one of The Eagle's big prizes. YOU GET MORE VOTES NOW Right now, while the big vote schedule is in force, is the time to get busy. Every new or renewal subscription to The Eagle counts you more votes than it will at any other time. Soon—in a few days—the vote schedule will be DECREASED. The reason the vote schedule is REDUCED after the first part of the campaign is to assure everyone a fair and square deal and this prevents anyone coming in at the last minute and running away with the big prize automobile. Right now every yearly subscription counts you 15,000 votes. With the first subscription you turn in, you get 100,000 EXTRA FREE votes, which will make the first subscription worth 120,000 votes, including your nomination votes. The effort you put forth these "BIG VOTE" days can easily bring you success. The lagard, unwilling to devote any of their time or thought to the campaign, will reap no reward. This is a campaign strictly for "live wires". So don't lag—don't be timed. Go right to it and keep at it during your spare time. Did you ever before have the opportunity to cash your spare time for $1,795.00 in just a few weeks? Remember the vote schedule is soon to be REDUCED. Get into the campaign now while you have an absolutely equal chance. Right now, while the campaign is just beginning get started—NOW is the time to enter and make yourself one of the winners of The Eagle's many and valuable prizes.

SHELTEN - Indiana Realty:Co. ~ Real Estate; Loans, Insurance POLITICAL DIGEST ERS SENATOR BORAH AND |. W. W. ORATOR VOICE DEMAND FOR GENERAL AMNESTY. While President Harding was speed- ing to Florida for a month's vacation, the official publicity announcing that he was ‘leaving “a virtually clean desk,” a group of working people in New York City were completing pre- parations fog what proved to be the Rost impressive | demogetration yet made to remind the President that his desk—and bis record—will not be “clean” until he issues the order that will get free the last of the 53 work- ingmen still being held in federal pris- ons ostensibly. for “opposing the war,” but; in reality because of their past activities in championing the cause of labor. Over 3,000 people crowded the Lex. ington Theatre on Sunday, March 11, and cheered repeatedly the insistent demand that the much-boasted claim of the United States to be “the land of the free” be transformed from a sickening hyprocrisy to at least a temporary reality by the release of these men, imprisoned solely for hav- ing been true to their ideals and bav- img done what they could to make the world g ft place to live in. ‘The mesting was roused to a high pitch ot emotion” by the first speaker, Yum Scarlett, an i, W. W. sohtenced to 20 yeyrs but recently released sub- Ject to deportation to Scotland, who held his audience spell-bound for over an hour while he pictured the long struggle of the workers of the west and northwest to improve conditions im the logging and construction camps, mines and harvest fields, the system atic persecution by the powerfal finan. cial interests controlling the machiu- ety of government and socalled jus. tice in those sections. the brutal treatment of 1. W. W. prisoners in the Jails awaiting trials, the mockery of Justice in the court proceedings, thy inhuman sentences inflicted by capi- talistically-minded judges, the un. Ainching stand of the men In the face of fiendish cruelty behind the prison walls and their refusal to sue for mercy or break the solidarity of the group by asking for individual pardon, “Those 53 fellow workers of ours are not being held in jail for what they jd in the past.” Scarlett said, “but tor fear of what they would do it re leased. The authorities know that prison bax not broken their spirit or changed their opinions one whit. The financial interests that own the big industries of the west know that every one of those men will, as soon as be comes ont of prison, go right hack to the spot where @e was ar rested and take up-his work as a la bor organizer wher). be left it of when taken to jail in 1917. That is why the Washington officials turn a deaf ear to all appeals to their supposed—aud purely imaginary —sense of justice or feelings of humanity, and that is also why it is plainly and squarely up to the working class to wake up and take suck uction as will force open the prison doors for these men who are being victimized solely because they dared to stand in the front ranks in labor's battle. It ds because these men were cap- able speakers, writers and organizers for the workers that they were put in prison nearly six years ago-and it is for the same reason that thé workers must set them free so that they can go on with their work in the interest of labor.” = Senator Borah. the prosecutor of the former 1. W. W. leader, Bill Haywood, im the tamous Hay wood-Moyer-Petti bone case, startled his hearers by bringing out the same point, namely. that these men are in prison because of their activities in the 1. W. W. He protested against the injustice of hold- ing men in prison for something not mentioned in the indictment and not recognized in law as’a crime. “What.” he asked, “fs the controlling * reason for keeping these men in pris: on? it is not, in my opinion, because of the offenses for which they were convicted, but for another offense un- known to criminal code, namely, be- cause they are members of the [. W. W. They ate not {n prison by reason of any acts of violence to person or property. They are political prison- ers. It is not right to put in prison and keep them there solely because they are members of an unpopular or. sanization. It 1s manifestly unjust it is an aet of tryanny to punish men for in offense of which they have not been convieted.” In support of his contention, Sena- tor Borah quoted from a statement made“to President Harding by Major Lanier, an army oMcer and lawyer de- tulled by the War Department to go over the court records in the I. W. W. Chicago case and analyze the evi- donce. , “These men.” Major Lanier report- ed, “were convicted contrary to law and evideace and solely because they (were leaders in an organization against which public sentimefft was imcensed. 1 do not think that, if 1 had been: in the jury, 1 would have con- victed a ysie ‘one of them.” Declarifg that “liberty means the $ RE-|of in any other country in the world ISON. | for political sentences, that the spies ND 1,|a@nd- profiteers were released long VAND | 22% 28 well as the political prisoners in 411 other countries éngaged in the war.

An important speaker. in behalf of the city-wide demand for better trans- portation “facilities in Los Angeles. was heard at the colored Y. M. C. A. Wednesday afternoon, when Ida May Adams, one of the foremost women attorneys of the West, spoke to [Prominent colored citizens, ‘The speaker laid stress on the de- plorable situation which exists in our great city. and pointed out the needs of -morg comfort and safety to pas gengers. She said that strap-hanging ‘was a thing of the past and that motor busses would be the means of ‘furnish- i ing the people with needed relief from the crowded condition which is seen pev erywhere on the street cars. It should be kept in mind, \ the ‘speaker declared, that Los Angeles ‘has been built’ up with capital which has come into the city from va- ‘rious party of the Country. There; fore; she suid, the Two Million Dol- lats, which the people's motor bus Company contemplates spending in ‘Tox Angeles should be welcomed by all, . | “TL want to impress on you,” she de- clared, ‘that the principal part of the 'money derived from the investment and in the operation of motor busses goes to make us all more prosperous, ‘for it is expended’ to pay good wages to men and women who work, and this money finds its way to our grocers and other stores. “There has-been considerable Ealk that busses would add to the conges- |tion fo the downtown district. This ig not trne. The busses would not | go through the crowded streets in the | center of the city. Possibly, later on, when the city has done away with the intolerabf: condition on its main | streets, then the busses perhaps | would be seen in what is now the con- | gested districts. “I want to impress on you, too, that | there was no talk of improvements in | the street car service, no talk of sub- |ways, uo talk of building extensions, no talk of bus feeder tines until the People's Motorbus Company made known that it was ready to serve the people of Los Angeles with comfort- able busses, and provide a seat for ev- ery passenger. “L want you to know, too, that the ntan who Is at the-head of the Peo- ple’s Motorbus Contpany is one of the best friends in Log!

The ferry companies, which transported thousands of persons across the Hudson River daily, said that the subway under the river would ruin them, that they had faithfully carried the ‘people to and fro for years and that now their biisiness was to|be destroyed. But today not, only are those same ferries taxed to their utmost to take care of the people who still use them, but tie ‘subways too are crowded and there is talk now of building tunnels beneath those tun- nels. This is true also of Los An- geles toa great extent. This is a vast and growing city. As your dear friend, Mr. Hellman said recently, in an in- terview with , Los Angeles newspap- er, it. will be but a short while when every present means of transportation will be overcrowded and subways and possibly an elevated railroad will have to be built to care for the people who travel. é “If you want to see this great ques- tion settled to the best advantage, if you want prosperity in Los Angeles, then vote May Ist in favor of Motor busses.” Addresses were made bysother per- sons present. and the general cobcen- sus pf opinion was that motor busses should be favorably voted upon.

Several new, scholars were introduced to the Sunday School and made happy by a kindly welcome it was Review Day and the Lessons of the Quarter were taken up and briefly discussed. At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Prowd spoke from the text: Matt 21:9. "Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord." He also used as a contrast, Mark 14:13. "And they cried out again, crucify Him." All enjoyed the word of the Lord and expressed delight. The B. Y. P. U. held its session and profitfully discussed the lesson. At night our brother the Rev. Mr. Lambert preached for us with much acceptance. The Pastor and members Choir will render good music: Singing The Room will be decorated and the are preparing for a great Easter day.

CHURCH 1406 Newton Street Rev. Underwood, Pastor Sunday, March 25th was Men's Dav and there was a marked demonstration of Man's Ability throughout the entire day and evening. Rev. Undet- wood the pastor preached a very in- spiring sermon in the morning which text was "The Multitude that went before and that followed cried 'Hosanna to the Son of David, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the Highest." Men filled the choir stand and fully pro- vided their fitness as songsters throughout both services. Our own Mr. Jas. Jones, our eminent Basso rendered a very appropriate solo for the occasion. Two babies were baptized. In the evening a most inspiring and unique program was rendered by the men. Prof. Biggers being the main speaker of the evening. A most educational and convincing paper on "The Black Man's Contribution to Civilization" was read by Mr. Emery V. Crane, a young man of marked ability. Then came wit and humor by Mr. Murray, a paper on "Women are 3500 years Behind. The most interesting feature was the reading of the collection from both women's and Men's Day. As Women's Day wag the preceding Sunday and the financial rivalry was at its height. These figures were passed in by the Women and Men to Rev. Underwood who read them for the first time; and so, the women raised $416.20 and the men $165.00, making the women victorious over the men for another year which was no more than expected for the women of Phillip's Chapel never fail or give up to defeat. FIRST AFRIICAN M. E. CHURCH— Eighth Street and Towne Avenue. Rev. A. Milton Ward Pastor Ward will occupy his pulpit in historic Eighth and Towne Avenue Church Easter Sunday, preaching on "A Risen Christ" at the early morning five o'clock service, and again at 11 a.m. The singing by the two choirs promises to eclipse all previous occasions. Prof. Bartlett will render special numbers on the pipe organ, using the Vox Humana and chimes (which sounds heavenly to say the least early in the morning. The Sunday School has prepared to furnish an excellent Easter program at 7:30 o'clock p.m. The processional will be lead by Rev. Ward and Supt. Stratton. The Senior Choir will close the program with a master anthem. Those were stirring old Methodist times at Eighth and Towne Avenue Church last Sunday. The minister in charge preached morning and evening, and the singing was par excellent. There were six men and two women added to the church at 11 a.m. and a man and woman joined at the evening service, making a total of ten additions for the day. There was great rejoicing on the part of the church folk. Two of the accessions were converts. The junior choir sang "The Palms." Many distinguished visitors worshipped with us. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothan, Minister F. C. Cothran, Minister Services of this church were up to the standard last Lord's Day. We were recipients of copious showers of blessings. Our souls feasted on heavenly manna, while under the drippings of gospel grace. Elder Cothran, occupied the pulpit both morning and evening and filled our hearts with good news of the old Jerusalem gospel. At 11 o'clock a.m., he called our attention to the crucifixion scenes of our Lord, using for his text these words, "And they that passed by rallied on him, wagging their heads and saying, Oh, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it again in three days, gave thyself and come down from the cross." Mark 15:29, 30. Your presence for the services of next Lord's day is cordially solicited. Elder Cothran closes his ministry with this church Lord's day April 1st, 1923. Exercises of the Bible School at night 8:00 o'clock. All Welcome. Services last Sunday were complimentary. The Sunday School well attended, offering was above average, and indications for better work in the future were promising. At the morning services the pastor spoke to a commendable congregation and a number of visitors to impressed their appreciation of the serm vices. The pastor spoke from the text, Hosannah to the Son of David, Hosannah in the highest. The Endeavor was very interesting. At night the pastor spoke from the text. Do all things without murmuring and disputing. A number of visitors attended this service and promised to return. The Pastor's Aid Club has had the Interior beautified which makes the church more attractive. We are planning for a levyable Easter Service day and night. And a Spiritual Revival Commencing April 33rd. All Christians are asked to help us in this Special Effort. WEST SIDE MISSION A. M. E. CHURCH West 336th Street. Major G. W. Pridieh, Pastor. Last Sunday was a great day at the Mission. All services were record breakers and noted for distinguished visitors. The Sunday School Lesson review was a departure from the usual custom. Each pupil who took special part in the review showed careful study for the quarter. The pastor preached at the morning service to a splendid congregation preparatory to the afternoon service slated to be the informal opening and conservation of the Mission. At this service Rev. A. M. H. Ward, D. D., pastor of First A. M. E. Church preached an excellent sermon suited to the occasion. The hearty responses of amens from the large congregation were evidences of the mighty truths that came through the inspired preaching. The Grant Chapel pastor and choir furnished the music, assisted by Mrs. Bacon, our special soloist. The Presiding Elder made some pertinent remarks, also Revs. House, Price, Guy and Curry. The pastor preached at night to a very nice congregation. The offering for the day was splendid, it will enable the pastor and trustees to pay off three notes to their creditors. Next Sunday the Easter program by the Sunday School will be rendered at 3:00 p.m. by the children. Do not miss this. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH—Duarte, Calif. Mrs. Davis and Mr. Cartwright are very much improved from their injuries that were received in an automobile accident a short while ago. Mrs. Davis had three ribs broken. Sister Shell, of Los Angeles, conducted services at the A. M. E. Church on Sunday, the 15th. There were two additions to the church. The pastor is hoping that he can have Sister Shell conduct a series of meetings for him. Sunday, the pastor and members of the church celebrated Palm Sunday; the text was taken from Matthew 21:9. The little church was beautifully decorated with palms. The Stewardesses prepared small palm crosses which they gave to each one attending the services. We had a fine congregation and six probationaries were admitted into full membership in the church. There was great rejoicing when Brothers Sheers, of Monrovia, joined the church. At three p. m. Rev. Reed, pastor at the Zion A. M. E. Church in Monrovia, accompanied by a beautifully robed choir, turned the services. The Rev. Reed preached a very strong and eloquent sermon on the "Spirit that should actuate every Christian to make individual sacrifices to give so that the Lord may have a decent house for His people to worship in. We all left the services greatly benefited and more determined to build a church than ever before. We are making great preparations for the Easter services. Beginning at six a. m. Sunday School will be held; Preaching at eleven a. m.; Communion of the Easter Cantata will be rendered a five p. m. by the young people of the church; assisted by William Prince and Mr. Joe Bronson, Miss Jennie Lockett is Mrs. William Prince, Pastor. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Rev. W. E. Shaw, Pastor. Res. 1217 Paloma, Street. On last Sunday morning a splendid soul stirring sermon was preached by our beloved Bishop Kyles from Matt. 21:9: "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest." The Bishop seemed more than inspired and his glorious message set every heart on fire. Many Methodist shouts and hallelujahs went up as did on that first memorial Palm Sunday. In the evening the Bishop preached from Psalm 36: 7 verse—"How excellent is thy loving-kindness O God, therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wing." The Psalms of David are a great favorite of the Bishop and when he preaches from one of the Psalms we feel the same inclination of David to always praise God for his goodness and mercy. We are grateful indeed to have Bishop Kyles with us through the circumstance under which it is possible is the illness of one of his younger sons, who is undergoing treatment here. The South west Rocky Mountain District will hold its mid-year Convention in this church April 5th. All are invited to attend. Glorious Easter Services all day at this church.

Greenly as the "speaker of the evening, Mr. Exalted Cyclops." The Klansman summarized the history of the Klan since its inception, claiming the organization is standing for 100 per cent Americanism and the protection of American civilization from the Negroes, Jews, and radicals. The speech of the Klansman was greeted with a storm of applause which echoed throughout the church for minutes after he and his bodyguard had resumed their seats. In commenting on the speech of the Klanman, Rev. Greenly said that "if the Klan stands for the principles expounded on this platform tonight by the Exalted Cyclops, then it is 100 per cent American and an ally of the Protestant Church." After the services, the forty Klanmen fled out of the church and into a yeasty room, where they divested themselves of their regalia and emerged to mingle with the throng. President Obregon Meets Negro Delegation. In July, 1922, President Obregon met a delegation of 22 colored citizens of the United States headed by Attorney Hugh Macbeth of Los Angeles and Mr. J. B.

Prince ALL STUDENTS' PARTY ENJOYED On last Thursday evening, the students of the university were the guests of Messrs. William Stoard and William Prince at a unique party at Parish Hall. The hall was very attractively decorated with the school colors. The occasion served a twofold purpose, first, as a reunion of the old students and second, as an informal introduction of the new students. Everyone enjoyed the affair to the uttermost. Dancing was the feature of the evening. Father W. T. Pleghorn. Rector of the Episcopal Church of this city is attending the College of Liberal Arts. He states that while he is not specializing in any one subject, he is taking those subjects that tend to keep one's mind fresh and abreast with the times. KNIGHTS ENTERTAIN SWEET SIXTEEN Last Friday night at the beautiful residence of Mrs. Viola Narelse McLemore, was the setting of a party given by the Knights of Night in honour of the Sweet Sixteen. The affair was very well attended, the house being very nigh filled to its fullest capacity. The scene was elaborately embellished and topped off with beautiful colored lights. There were three painted pictures on exhibit; one a knight on horseback galloping at full speed; one, a knight on foot; and the last, a knight on horseback, the horse in a rearing pose. The guests on departing declared that the Knights were all right. After all, there ain't but the dozen. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES By William Narcissé LAWD! Tommy Myles Lincoln, crack sprinter, is a candidate for student body president at Roosevelt High School. Good luck Tommy, old boy. Last Thursday the Lincoln light weight football team gave the Jefferson team the small end of a 33-7 score. Otis Whizzar, dashing halfback of the winning team, made several spectacular end runs, one of which resulted in his team's third score. Addison Carter of the same team, played a short while at tackle. For the losers, Charlie Dodd performed in the backfield. Lincoln and Jefferson, two bitter rivals, had it out last Friday on the Railspitter gridiron. Lincoln emerging the victor by a count of 12—10 Although the Democrats fought hard they could not stop the onslaught of the mighty Tigers. William Bisco of guard, and Jack Prayer at tackle, kept Jefferson's line somewhat intact. Prayer, very large and fast, proved that he is by no means slow, by outstriping his team mates on a punt, and bringing down his man. "Spark Plug" Williams was put in at half back and later at quarterback.

COMMISSIONS PROCEED VIGO ROUSLY WITH WORK ON PROGRAM The various commissions which are at work arranging the program for the conference are proceeding vigorously with the work so that by the date of the conference the whole program will be set for the greatest meeting ever held by the Colored people of America. RACE ORGANIZATIONS GIVING COOPERATION Chairman Miller informed the members of the Executive Committee of the All-Race Conference at its recent meeting that one of the most important matters taken up during the summer was the appeal to a number of individuals for a contribution of $5.00 each to help defray the expenses of the Conference. The individuals appealed to were invited to become members of the enlarged Committee on the All-Race Conference with the privileges thereof. The Chairman also stated that a number of organizations had informed him as to their willingness to be represented in the Conference, some of whom had already elected delegates. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened OUR PLEA There's a plea going out from my people. From the people of my race. We're asking all nations to listen. To listen with good grace. We're sending a plea out in the world. We want you to hear our call. We're sending it to all people. All nations large and small. We do not ask for charity. Pity, money or even grace. We only want the opportunity To step into our place. We're standing at the bottom Of a ladder steep and tall. We're climbing the rounds step by step. As the soldiers scale a wall. But when we've almost reached the top Where other nations are found. The white man gives us a hunch, And we fall back to the ground. Now, is it fair to knock us back When we are working with will and might? Just give us a chance to reach the top And we'll show you how to fight. We are not using our strength Other nations to overthrow. We only ask you for our place. And then you'll see us grow. You think the Negro backward, Superstitious, foolish and slow. We have no opportunities. We have no room to grow. Take the flower of our race. A youth, a tender sprout. And place him beside your youths. And you'll see how he turns out. Oh! Why do you keep our people down? Why do you hold us back? Is it because we're Negroes. Because our skin is black. You do not hate the singing birds. You do not hate the trees. You do not scorn the red man. They're changed the same as we. Our race produces literature In music we take a part. Our race produces poetry. Our race produces art. We're sent to school and college. With other nations we meet. And when it comes to studies. With them we compete. But when we leave the school-room, Our competition's ended. For we're smothered in the outer world, We're not treated as other men. Do you think that we're disgusted? Do you think we've given up? Oh! No we'll fight just twice as hard Until we win the cup. We're sending the plea out to you We're asking for no grace. We're asking for what's due us. We only want our place. But if you fail to answer, If you do not heed our plea. There's One above who'll hear us No matter where we be. We're sending our petition out. To you it may seem odd. But if you do not answer, There's One who will, our God.

The draw takes place at 9:05 p.m. M: handsome prizes will be awarded to the city champs and the two runners-up also. The Fed's recent establishment of five annual open championship dates means that anybody in the world big enough to wave a catgut paddle is allowed to shush their way to the top shelf without even being a member of a tennis club. so "atta baby."

West Side To Incorporate Attorney C. H. Alston member and legal adviser of the West Side Tennis Club as soon as the club is incorporated and secures its charter will have the gang ready to buy that splendid corner lot the members are raving about, and as there is a house on the thing already, that long talked of "club house problem" has finally been solved, and watch the old admission fee elevate. Better get in now, boy. It only assesses you five smackers now, but these heartless investors are likely to raise the ante to twenty bones within a month or two. The building commission is: Papa Osborn Johnson, chairman; Charles H. Alston; Lloyd Wilbour Davis; Albert Joseph Prosper and William Mells Watson.

Clever, shifty Jack Griffins' left jabbing wasn't sufficient to outclass Joe Ward's right-crosses to the jaw. The decision went to Ward.

THE BROADWAY THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD Perhaps no institution in the history of church building has made more phenomenal progress during a comparatively brief period of time, than the Independent Church of Christ under the fearless but genuinely Christian leadership of Rev.

Among the far-reaching improvements made may be cited the enlargement of the auditorium, thereby increasing its capacity to 1200; a Sunday School Department with fourteen large, airy class rooms; lecture hall to accommodate 400 people; young people's library and club room. The total cost of improvement, including the $12,000 Pipe Organ to be installed next month, will be $32,000. The present indebtedness is about $20,000. The entire building covers about 12,000 square feet, and the present valuation of the property is $90,000. The rally held on last Sunday was noteworthy in its success.

STORY ABOUT NEGRO Washington. — Inspired, no doubt, by the example of some obscure but Christian Negro, an elderly white lady of this city has been awarded the first prize in the clean fiction contest recently conducted by the official organ of the Knights of Columbus. The story, entitled "The Wisdom of Corrianius", won over 3,125 other manuscripts submitted from every State in the Union and from the British Isles, Canada, and other countries. Fifty-five per cent of the contestants for the $500 Prize were women. The prize-winner's story dealt with a half-witted Negro, who effected a reconciliation between a young couple which had had a misunderstanding. From the figures contained in the first annual report of the Prudential Bank, of Washington, D.C., that institution is moving forward rapidly and successfully, with a steady stream of incoming deposits and other resources. While a $3,625,000 peanut case was in litigation in the Federal Court at Norfolk, Va., a Negro band, playing "Yes, We have No Bananas," on the street, just below the court room, so completely drowned the voices of attorneys and witnesses that the presiding judge notified the bandsmen to select another location for the dispensation of their melodies. Major Joseph Caufield, of Johnstown, Pa., who recently "also ran" in the race for Mayorship for the coming term, is apparently determined to make nay while the sun shines.

According to estimates published in the Washington Daily news, there are 5,000 people in the Nation's Capital, who are a t present engaged in the unlawful sale of whiskey and other high-powered stimulants, which have become secretly popular since the advent of the prohibition amendment. No attempt was apparently to separate the components of this group into racial or sexual divisions, which it is readily admitted, are immaterial to a prospective customer.

From all appearance the coming bond election will draw out a large vote on the 23rd inst $80000 of the bonds are for the recreation park and swimming pool.

ELLIS (Lincoln Service) Mexico, Mex.——Tde death in this city, on September 24, of William H. Ellis, formerly of Texas, but more recently of New York, endowed the career of a most romantic figurer, whose huge financial operations in the United States and Mexico, and whose intellectual activities, chiefly in Abyssinia, where under the Roosevelt administration he sought to establish a "Nation of Negroes" equal to European powers, made of him one of the most outstanding characters belonging to our racial group. Although Mr. Ellis found it necessary for his purposes to associate largely but not wholly with men of financial affairs, he did not sacrifice the personal friendship of many prominent men of his race, with someof whom he frequently consulted on matters of racial and national importance. "NEGRO DOMINATION" Mexico, Mex. — — — The death tion of the South as a whole, forms 33.9 per cent of the population of the United States. Of the 33,044,445 inhabitants of the 17 southern states, including the District of Columbia, a trouble more than one fourth, or about 26.9 per cent are colored. In other words, in each group of 1000 persons living in the southern states 751 are white and only 269 are colored, a condition that makes a joke out of the vicious cry of "Negro Domination" by ignorant politicians. Prior to the present migration, Mississippi and South Carolina were the only states in which the colored population constituted 50 per cent or more population of Georgia was 41.7 per cent of the total; of Louisiana, 39.9 Florida, 34.0 per cent. In no other southern state; including the District of Columbia, does the colored population form as much as 30 per cent of the state populations. HOWARD UNIVERSITY HOWARD UNIVERSITY HAS VERY HEAVY ENROLLMENT Washington. Indications point to an early enrolment of approximately 1,200 students at Howard University for the first semester of the present year.

HELP FROM CATHOLICS According to the Baltimore Herald the Knights of Columbus have endowed and promised financial aid to the erection and maintenance of a memorial to His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons, to be known as the Cardinal Gibbons Institute. This institution, which will be located on a 200 acre tract of land near Baltimore, it to be devoted to the higher education of Negroes, and its purpose is to assist in the movement for the advancement of the colored catholics of the country.

The cabin was erected and occupied by Jean Baptiste Point de Sable, a San Domingo Negro.
