ALL MACHINERY NECESSARY FOR MODERN MINING TO BE SHIPPED FROM SAN FRANCISCO WITHIN THIRTY DAYS. GOLD MINES IN TUOLUMNE COUNTY OFFER RARE OPPORTUNITY AND ADVANTAGES TO INVESTING PUBLIC. By: JOHN EMERY PROWD The early history of many of the most famous and prosperous gold mines throughout the world, have been tinged with romance, and in this regard, the Verdun Mine in Tuolumne County, has had its share. It has had its old miners who have been content with using the pick and shovel, along with the wash pan, to dig enough gold to exist upon, and using every means—foul and fair—to protect their claim from those who would dispossess them of their treasure. It has its lone grave, which stands as a monument to the early struggles of those who knew its value. Tilden Gulch Tilden Gulch, which was known as the richest section, because of its placer gold, during the California gold rush in the early 49's, is also a part of the property owned by the Verdun Mining and Leasing Company. It abound in timber, so necessary for mining, and will furnish an adequate supply for the present prospect. One can glean an idea of its immensity by the fact that a clearly outlined ditch, covering an area of 26 miles, was dug around its sides. This ditch is there, but by whom it was dug, and when it was dug is a matter of speculation. There have been abundant reasons for all the old stories that surround the Verdun Mine—and all other valuable mines, for that matter—located as it is at the head of Moccasin Creek on the Tuolumne River; for that mountain, in exact line with mines on the famous mother lode, has nothing short of the ear-marks of a real gold mine. The Eagle Shawmut, a gold mine just half a mile from the Verdun, and on the same line with the Verdun, has been operating for the last thirty-five years, without a shutdown, has 125 stamp mills, and one of the largest smelters in that section.

Sedgwick, at present instructor in the University of Southern California, and who says: "The history of the Mother Lode and the geological conditions of the property indicate a deep vein. Two or three mines just northwest of the Verdun Mine have good ore at a depth of 2,000 feet. "This property is a good prospect, with excellent indications for its development into a valuable mine." Present Development But best of all, as proof of the wisdom of those who believed that the gold was there in abundance, is the development work already done by the Verdun Mining and Leasing Company, which has shown remarkable progress. At present there is a shaft 90 feet deep on the property, and the only machinery around is a hoist, so one can judge the work this company has accomplished within a year. All modern machinery has been arranged for—drills, compressors, stamp mills, smelter, hoist, etc.—and is being loaded in freight cars at San Francisco, to be shipped within thirty days to the mine. Coming! Conc Its Formation Tilden Gulch, which was known as the richest section, because of its placer gold, during the California gold rush in the early 49's, is also a part of the property owned by the Verdun Mining and Leasing Company. It abound in timber, so necessary for mining, and will furnish an adequate supply for the present prospect. One can glean an idea of its immensity by the fact that a clearly outlined ditch, covering an area of 26 miles, was dug around its sides. This ditch is there, but by whom it was dug, and when it was dug is a matter of speculation—as nobody as yet knows. Strike Tunnel Strike Tunnel, deriving its name from the man, who, with ingenuiousness of hand, welded the pick and used the shovel solely to dig into the side of the mountain for 300 feet, is a marvel in itself; not only because of the hard task accomplished, but because of the heavy veins of gold cut through, disclosing the riches which the mountain contains. As one enters this tunnel, he observes that nothing but the pick and shovel as impliments, have been used THE "STRIKE TUNNEL" AT UN MINES General Manager of the Ver- any; "Billy," an old character ring; and Mr. W.

You next discover that you are looking at walls, whose formation very much resembles a mixture of decayed timber with rock; then you strike a section of rock, at least two feet in thickness; then comes a formation, indescribable, but identically the same as that discovered in the Argonaut Mine, at Jackson, California, not so long ago, and below which, at a depth of 600 feet, produced ore that furnished many millions of dollars, and put the Argonaut on the map as a rich and proven mine. Beyond this is found a vein, fully five feet across, containing rich, free-milling ore, and which has been assayed by Baverstock and Payne of os Angeles at $26.55 in gold per ton. It is the opinion of Mr. A. G. Mahan, General Manager of the Company, a man who has had over thirty years' experience in gold mining in Nevada, Utah, California and many other mining sections of the country, that at a depth of 200 feet, a few other veins, which stand out clearly, along with this large vein, all run together. These veins, he says, in my opinion are sloping downward at an angle of 45 degrees, and there is no doubt that at this distance below the surface, they must meet. The ledges in this tunnel are so clearly cert DeLuxe, U Tilden Gulch Strike Tunnel LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA APRIL 29. 1923. ORE DUMP AT THE VERDUN MINES.

You can dig dirt anywhere on this mountain—as was done by many members of the party—and upon washing the same may be sure to find some gold. Transportation The matter of transportation is solved by the Hetch-Hetchy Railroad which runs within 200 feet of the northerly end of the property, and within a quarter of a mile of the proposed mill site. Water There is abundance of water as we have already mentioned the Toulumne River and Moccasin Creek, both of which flow by the foot of the mountain belonging to the Company. Power The high-tension line of the Pacific Gas and Electric Power Company runs within a quarter of a mile of the property. All arrangements have been made by the Company for the running of wires to the Verduns Mine, and it will only necessitate the erection of six poles to have light and power in the mining camp. OFFICER CHAS. S. BROADY IS PRO MOTED BROADY RECEIVES PROMOTION The many friends of Chas. S. Broady will be glad to learn that he has been promoted from patrolman to Acting Lieutenant Detective and assigned to work with Lieutenants Jesse Kimbrough and R. F. Green. This makes indeed a strong team, and will prove a terror to evil doers. Officer Broady has merited his promotion by the very excellent service rendered by him. Some of the stellar work on the force has been accomplished through his efforts, and of course it went unheralded by the big daily press from the fact that Broady is off color and it is not the part of these big dallies to play up the accomplishments of other than the Caucasian officers. But he has always delivered the goods, and Chief of Detectives George X. Horne knows no color. Brassier is chief of detectives and courage to make this appointment. All people who believe in fair play and justice will most highly appreciate the same and Chief of Detectives Horne for his act. OSBORNE HITS OUTSIDE HELP Protesting against "distant and party interference" in an election where all candidates run as independents, Henry Z. Obarne yesterday telephoned W. C. Wood, chairman of the Republican National Congressional Committee at Washington, demurring against the recent action of the committee in recommending the election of one of his opponents. The Obarne message said: Company Intends to Branch Out Mr. J. B. Simms, the Sales Manager of the Verdun Mining and Leasing Co., has stated his intention and firm desire of meeting all those interested—and those not interested—in mining, with the object of furnishing additional information concerning the wonderful opportunities this mine can furnish to the ever-investing public. Mr. Simms is the splendid young man of our group, who has made his way to the pinnacle by grit and push, and represents a Company composed of men who have been old settlers in this section of the country, and whose honesty, integrity and intent of purpose is above questioning. To know these men—every one of them—is indeed a pleasure. Mr. Simms may be gotten in touch with at 315 Western Mutual Life Building, Third and Hill streets, Los Angeles, Cal.; Telephone Pico 1803. On next week we shall tell of the Shaft just sunk by this company upon its property, and of the proposed program of this company for further financing the development of what will unquestionably be a most valuable mine within a few years. "I am a candidate to fill the unexpired term of my father, the late Congressman Henry Z. Osborne. You are quoted in newspapers her eas directing voters of Tenth District to vote for one of my opponents. Your wire is misleading, for, though I am a life-long Republican, all candidates in this special election must appear as independent. Your wire would imply that but one candidate is Republican. "I am pledged to him and to the voters that if elected I will give to the Tenth District my very best efforts in carrying on the same policies and observing the same ideals as he worked for and stood for. I am a trained civil engineer, twenty-five years in public service connected with the big engineering problems of Los Angeles. For the past three years I have been chief engineer of the th Board of Public Utilities. "Always I have been a loyal Republican. I would like to know what has prompted your attempted interference in this matter as indicated. Will you please wire me if you disapprove the character of service that the voters have received for the past six years from their Representative in this district? Please wire me your answer. CARD IN THANKS. With hashtags and slogans, Mr. Osborne knew what to expect from many friends our thanks and appreciation for the many kindnesses shown her during her illness and our recent bereavement. TO THE THINKING MAN, AND WOMAN, THEY ARE DESPERATE Our group that is advocating the litney buses and in favor of Nes. 5 and 6, seems to have exhausted their means of argument.

He is on a lecture tour which extends from New York to the coast and return: He has received a tremendous ovation at all points en route here and no doubt Labor Temple which will accommodate more than two thousand persons will be filled on Monday evening May 7, when he will speak under the auspices of the East Side Mother's Club on the subject, "A New Solution for the Negro Problem." While here he will be a guest at the home of Attorney and Mrs. C. E. Jennings on East 15th Street. While here, here a little more than a year ago Mr. Owen made a deep impression on the Los Angeles population and it goes without saying that the people will give him a most royal welcome. hTe Friends of Negro Freedom and others will meet him at the station Sunday and escort him to his place of abode while in the city, at a later date a monster banquet will be tendered in his honor. POPULAR TENOR HEARD OVER THE RADIO Claude V. Pitts, a lyric tenor who has sung once before over radio, and who has been asked to perform again, will voice a group of religious and sentimental ballads with perhaps a classic aria or two. Prof. Wm T. Wilkins, whose fame as a pianist and a maker of pianists has gone far in the southwest, has also consented to crowd into his busy hours an engagement as a radio entertainer. To the wide range of his circle of acquaintances, and to all of the many students whom he has instructed in the art of piano-playing it will be a welcome message that the professor among other interpretations will delight his radio auditors with a masterly exemplification of his own composition, "The Path of Destiny." This is in four parts: "Introduction, meditation, storm and grand climax." Lucile E. Banton, pupil of William T. Wilkins, will act as accompanist for Mr. Pitts.

DYER, CHAMPION OF THE DYER ANTILYNCHING GILL WILL SPEAK AT THE 14th ST. SCHOOL AUDITORIUM SUNDAY, MAY 6, AT 3 P.M. UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE LOS ANGELES BRANCH NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. SUBJECT "THE SHAME OF AMERICA." PUBLIC INVITED. Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, of Missouri, who introduced the federal anti-lynching bill bearing his name in Congress, will address a mass meeting here under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on the afternoon of May 6, in the 14th Street School auditorium at 3:00 p.m. Mr. Dyer is on a country-wide tour through the middle and far west, lecturing under the Advancement Association's auspices, on the "Shame of America," against which a fight is to be staged in the next Congress. Representative Dyer's measure was passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 230 to 119 and was favorably reported by the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate. It had to be abandoned when a group of Southern Democratic Senators served notice that their filibuster would be continued against the Anti-Lynching Bill, holding up the business of the entire country, until a pledge was given by the Republicans that the issue would not be forced in that session. In connection wiht the meeting the following statement from Mr. Dyer was given out at the local office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: "I am going before the country on the issue of lynching, a national shame which for thirty-five years the states have failed to end and the federal government has to end and the attack. "The Anti-Lynching Bill which I introduced in Congress and which was passed by a vote of almost 2 to 1 in the House of Rpresentatives, was stopped in the Senate by the filibuster of Senators from those states in which lynchings occur. "The federal anti-lynching bill is not sectional. It applies to every part of the country. It assumes that an atrocity in America is a national disgrace whether it occurs in Georgia, or Texas, or Oregon or Illinois." "I shall reintroduce this measure, in the next Congress. It will be reintroduced, I believ. in the Senate. Meanwhile I shall acquaint as many American citizens as possible with the horrors of lynching in América, and with the provisions of the bill de- COMMENTS By W. J. Wheston Advertising the South The Southern States have entered into an era of intensive advertising. Thousands of dollars have been, and are continually being spent, to set forth the natural resources, and the rich returns to be had by investors of capital. For many years the only advertising received from that section of the Nation was, that of the murder by some lawless mob of a defenseless Negro. Such advertising kept capital from entering the boundaries of these States that respected not the rights of property or life. Naturally the resources of the States remained undeveloped. Cotton became the staple because it could be raised and marketed under fraudulent conditions. That is fraudulent where the source of labor was concerned. If the South had not advertised its barbarian to the world it would, now, be one of the most prosperous sections of the United States, and have no need of printers ink to tell of its marvelous resources. National Advice First Clemenceau, now, Lord Robert Cecil. Clemenceau plead for France, and sought to convince the populace of the United States that it was errant in not pledging to support France in her, right or wrong, policy toward Germany. Lord Cecil, who is the Secretary, for the League of Nations, tells us that we must be the physician to heal the ills of Europe. Have you noticed that Americans who visited Europe to advise them how to manage their national affairs are very few? While the army of Europeans who occupy our roostrum are legion. Healthy people don't need the advice of a physician: only the sick. Negro Labor— Treasurer of Howard University at Washington, D. C. has written a letter to Judge Gary, the President of the big steel corporation, and stated that there were a matter of eight million Negro laborers in the South who would cover any industrial shortage in the United States. Judge Gary has but recently returned from a survey of European conditions, and advocates the repeal of the Immigration Bill now in force in order that this country may be flooded with cheap labor. Continued on page 12. We may not agree with Secretary signed to end those horrors. "We shall see if a small minority of men from any group of states can block an expression of the will of the people of this nation."

CARPENTER CATERING TO THE COLORED TRADE WE LOAN MONEY ON Elect Titus Alexander to City Council POLITICAL DIGEST --- Mr. Philip Jacobson, a prominent young business man of this city, takes this occasion to announce his candidacy for the city council. His campaign headquarters are now established at 10029 Broadway Place. Mr. Jacobson is a graduate of the University of California, and during the many years of his residence in Los Angeles, during which he has taken an active part in civic affairs, he has acquired a knowledge of the people and their government needs, which preeminently fits him for a seat in the City Council. Among the public-spirited organizations with which Mr. Jacobson is affiliated are the Associated Secretaries, Los Angeles Transportation Club, and the Franchise Motor Carrier's Association, of which last body he is secretary. Mr. Jacobson's candidacy has been enthusiastically endorsed by a number of representative Los Angeles business men, who are fully acquainted with his ability, high ideals in business and in politics, and his irreproachable integrity, and who believe that he would be of real service to the public as a Councilman. His many friends and supporters are confident that Mr. Jacobson will be among the leaders o the eighteen candidates who are named for Council at the Promary election on May 1, and Mr. Jacobson takes this occasion to solicit our suffrage at that time. Adv. REPRINT OF RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE SAN FRANCISCO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, MARCH 28. "RESOLVED, that the Chamber of Commerce believes that the Legislature should carry out the constitutional mandate for reapportionment of legislative representation. "The Chamber of Commerce believes in the carrying out of this constitution provision because this is the present law of the State, and we believe the Legislature, has no option but to act within a reasonable time after the census of 1923. "We believe, however, that conditions in the State have radically changed since 1879, since which time the majority of the population of the State is now in two great centers which, under the present plan of reapportionment would have a majority in both houses of the Legislature. "We believe that such reapportionment will deprive the interior of the State of an effective voice in the Legislature, to which in a representative form of government it is justly entitled, and without which all sections of the State, including the centers of population would suffer. "Therefore, believing that the reapportionment of the State should be impartially followed by a revision of the constitution in the interest of a broad public policy, it is therefore, further "Resolved, that we recommend that steps be taken immediately to amend the constitution of the State to the end that by some appropriate method there will be preserved to the interior of the State, which so largely contributes to the support of these centers of population, such a basis of representation as will give it an effective voice in Legislation." --- BERT L. FARMER FOR MAYOR As the primary election day draws nearer interest in the FARMER-FOR MAYOR campaign increases, and his thousands of supporters are combining their strength to qualify him on the primary ballot, confident that the general election will declare him the next Mayor of Los Angeles. Every audience before which Mr. Farmer has spoken is satisfied with his clear, forceful statements as to what he considers a Mayor's duty, and his platform of action, progression and fairness to all classes of citizens alike meets the general approval. Mr. Farmer has been introduced to our religious and civic organizations. They have listened to him. They have judged him to be a man, cool, level-headed, capable, and in harmony with all that goes to make up good citizenship which, in turn, means a bigger and better city. There is no question about the unanimous support he will receive from our electors. Our strength added to that of the other thousands who are supporting Mr. Farmer will assure his election. Our slogan: "FARMER-FOR-MAYOR and a bigger and better Los Angeles, made safe for all its citizens." THE EAST SIDE INDEPENDENT LEAGUE. If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened HUDDLE FOR COUNCILMAN J. D. (Jack) Huddle, candidate for City Council, has lived in Los Angeles twenty-five years, and for eighteen years was connected with the city and county governments as an accountant and property valuation expert. For ten years before coming to Los Angeles, he was traveling auditor for the Santa Fe railroad system. In 1912 Mr. Huddle was one of the managers of President Taft's campaign in Southern California. For the past two years Mr. Huddle has represented a number of civic organizations in connection with municipal matters, and he is thoroughly conversant with all branches of the city government. If elected to the City Council the voters will find that in Mr. Huddle they will have a representative who will work effectively for an economical, non-wasteful city government, but one in which every dollar expended will bring to the city a dollar's worth of value in needed public improvements. Mr. Huddle is married, has three children—all of whom were born in Los Angeles—and lives at 4425 Orchard Avenue. THE CALIFORNIA CITIZENS CIVIC LEAGUE ADOPTS RESOLUTION Whereas, this organization indorses Mr. Titus Alexander for the City Council at one of its regular meetings; and Whereas, Mr. Titus Alexander, at our mass meeting on the 14th inst., Auditorium, on the night of April 26th, displayed a temperament which in our opinion units him to serve in the capacity to which he aspires; Wherefore, it Be Resolved, that the California Citizens Civic League withdraw its previous indorsement and revoke any further it courtesy and participation in the interest of his candidacy. Signed. H. DOUGLAS GREER, Pres. ROBT. G. LAMAR, Secy. Ady CHAUFFERS ENGORSE MOTOR BUS After a careful and exhaustive investigation, the special committee of the California Chaufeurs' Club appointed for the purpose, has recommended that all members vote "Yes" on Propositions Nos. 5 and 6 on the ballot to be placed before the electorate on May 1st, and the club has officially indicted the recommendations of its committee in favor of the granting franchises to motor-busses. The officers of the club are: President, Ray Henderson; Secretary, Rob K. Hughes; Assistant Secretary, A.C. Randolph. In conducting its investigation the representatives of the chaufeus took particular cognizance of two allegations of opponents of the proposal to possible for the conductor of a mtr bus to refuse transprtation to a Negr citizen than it would be for the conductor of a street car. If such discrimination were attempted an action at law would lie against the offending company, and its franchise would be endangered. Evidence was also obtained showing that in New York, Chicago, Detroit and other large cities where motor busses are successfully operated, Negroes were accordd the same treatment as other citizens, and it was declared by officials of the People's Motor Bus Company that this would be their unalterable policy. In this connection, it was pointed out that William G. McAdoo, counsel for the company, had always been a staunch friend of the Negro. When he was Director of Railroads, during the Great War, Mr. McAdoo caused to be promulgated the following order for the benefit of the colored employees of railways: Effective June 1, 1918; colored men employed as firemen, trainmen and switchmen shall be paid at the same rates of wages as are paid white men in the same capacities. The second-allegation of opponents of motor buses, to which the committee paid especial attention, was that a bus fare of ten cents would force an increase in street car fares. Investigation showed that the question of the fare charged by the motor buses would have no more effect on street railroad fares than the traffic charged by taxicabs. The motor buses proposed, it was found, would not come in direct competition with street car lines, but would develop to a very large extent their own clientele. They would render a special service, in that every passenger would be guaranteed a seat and would not be forced to be' buffeted about in scandalously over-crowded cars. And, finally, it was shown that any application for an increase in fares would be passed upon the State Railroad Commission, which would undoubtedly take into consideration the fact that, with a five-cent fare, the L. A. Street Railway Company was able to report to the Commission a surplus of more than $1,500,000 over all charges and expenses for the year 1922 In the course of their investigation, the committee further learned that if the People's Motor Bus Company, and other similar transportation organizations, were allowed to operate, it would open up considerable new elds of employment, at good wages, for colored men and women. In the opinion of the committee, and endorsed by the membership of the California Chauffeurs' Club, Los Angeles needs every means of public transportation that can be supplied. It believes that there is 'room' for street cars, motor busses and subways alike. It believes that the best interests of the city as a whole demand that a liberal policy be exerted towards new capital in the transportation field, just as is shown in other elds. It fails to find merit in the objection that motor busses would further crowd the streets of the city, and points out that under the franchise asked for it is not proposed to operate them in the center of the business district, where the greatest congestion exists. Its investigation pointed rather to a lessening or congestion, since it is expected that a very large number of people would prefer to come to business in comfortable busses, in which they are assured seats, than to drive their own automobiles. The action of the California Chauffeurs' Club, which has a very high standing among colored organizations, will exert a strong influence in behalf of a favorable vote on Propositions 5 and 6, it is believed. PHIL JACOBSON A WINNER The interest and activity manifested by the many friends of hPhilp Jacobson, candidate for City Council, indicate his selection as one of the eighteen at the primaries next Tuesday. Mr. Jacobson is a very popular young man, owing to his active interest in all civic and political affairs, and is well qualified for a seat in the Council. Mr. Jacobson has a wide experience in business affairs, and is closely identified with all civic movements looking towards the development of our fast growing city. Those who vote for Mr. Jacobson on next Tuesday will vote for municipal expansn and development commensurate with the city's growth. Vote for Jacobson. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AUTOMOBILE CLUB AND NUMEROUS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ARE CONSTITUTED BY SENIOR AGAINST ORDINANCES 5 AND 6 With the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, the Automobile Club of Southern California, the Traffic Batterment Association, the Los Angeles Development League and scores of other progressive and civic betterment organizations urging the peopel of Los Angeles to vote against both the repeal of the present jitney bus ordinance and the free gift of our streets, for a 21-year franchise, the plan to saddle the city with a fleet of huge double-deck, seven-ton motor busses is apparently defeated, according to latest indications. The two measures will be voted on at the May 1st election. Measure No. 5 contains the application of the McAdoo-Hellman bus promoters for an irrevocable right to use the streets of Los Angeles for 21 years. Measure No. asks the repeal of the jitney bus ordinance voted by the people of the city 10 years ago, when passenger-carrying tombiles in the downtown areas such a menace and such a hand up to the movement of traffic that citizens decisively decided to reject the busses and keep them out of center of the city. Thos who have studied the traffic and transportation problems of Los Angeles declare that the operation of a set of passenger trucks, as outlined in the official plans of the Peoples Motor Bus Company (the McAdoo-Hellman proposition) will be a decided handicap to Los Angeles, and will only serve to make matters worse than they are today. So far as offering relief for the transportation burden the busses, working at capacity, will be able to carry less than one passenger out of every twenty who travels in Los Angeles daily. Experiences of other cities are cited as definite proof of the failure of the bushes as a public utility. Des Moines, Kansas City, Spokane, Baltimore, Saginaw, Toledo, Bridgeport, Conn., and many other communities tried them in competition with street railways, and the result was demoralized transportation, loss of business to the merchants, raise in fares for all classes of transportation, increased assessment for the taxpayer to pay for the streets torn up by the bushes, greater confusion in traffic, greater congestion in the business areas, more difficulty for those driving privately owned automobiles, and greater peril to life and limb for children and other pedestrians. In addition to the organizations already mentioned as being opposed to the granting of a bus franchise and the repeal of the fitney bus restriction ordinance, the motters and child-welfare workers of Los Angeles have also gone on record against them. Mothers declare that the busses will charge ten cents or more fare for school children, while at present they are hauled at a cost of $2½ cents, and with the additional advantage of transfers to and from car lines. Another argument against them is that the huge, hard-to-stop busses will increase the peril which children already face in crossing the streets. Los Angeles policemen, firemen and mail carriers are also opposing the posed by the Hellman-McAdoo concern M. H. Peoples' Candidate For City Council All indications point to the election of TITUS ALEXANDER to a place on the ticket at the coming Primaries on May 1st. He not only has the 95 per cent back of his own group but is receiving a strong and hearty support from all other groups of our citizenship. He is truly the Peoples' Candidate. is that only two policemen or two firemen can ride free on any one bus operated by them, regardless of the emergency call which they are answering. Mail carriers must pay full care. At present the street car lines carry policemen, firemen and postmen free, with no restriction as to numbers. The election on May 1st is expected to result in a repudiation of the Hellman-McAdoo attempt to grab a 21-year free gift to the streets of Los Angeles, and a maintaining of the present restrictions that keep jitneys off the streets where they would add to congestion, confusion, and increase hazards to pedestrians. READ THIS. AN DTHEN VOTE RIGHT Mancock is the Right Man for Mayor of Los Angeles To Taxpayers and Clean-Living Residents: I am pursuing a new p.o. of campaigning for the office of Mayor of your city. To the gamblers, bootleggers and evil doers of all classes, I warn you that if elected you must go from the limits of this city. I don't want your votes; in fact, I strongly recommend that you fight for your existence, for your existence depends on whether I elected Mayor, and if elected rst assured you will cease to exist. To the higher-ups who are rolling in wealth gotten from dirty graft, I throw down the gauntlet. Defeat me or move to other fields. Remember I am on oath and intend to fillfill my every obligation to the clean-living people of this city. To the Police Department, I wish to promise to the real men of this department my entire co-operation to raise the standard of the department wher it should b. You represent the law and should be spoken of in the highest terms, instead of being ridiculed. With your assistance we will eliminate the rubbish and you will again throw out your chest and feel proud of the shield on your uniform. To the Fire Department, I make the same promise. I honestly believe that my platform will meet with success. I am sincere and honest in my promises. The time has arrived when the representative people of the city demand a concrete platform. They are tird of veil suggestions of what will be done by candidates if elected. I have stated my platform in no uncertain terms. I appeal to all of the people to support me. I promise to be the Mayor of all the people, to do my duty without fear or favor. Give me your support and let's continue to advertise Los Angeles throughout the entire United States. Let's continue to occupy the front page on all of the important newspapers in the country, but let's change the class of advertising. We will no longer be known as the melting pot where criminals gather; we will no longer be advertised as occupying one of the top rungs of the ladder of crime. Our increasing population can be doubled by making Los Angeles a clean, safe place in which to live. My qualifications are herewith submitted for your approval: I am a native of the State of Illinois; educated at the University of Illinois; for two terms was Civil Clerk to the Secretary of State of Idaho; four years the active head of the Public Employment Bureau of the State of California in this city, and for two years in charge of the unemployment campaigns in this city that kept the soup houses out of Los Angeles; a newspaper man by profession who has always been in close touch with City, State and Government affairs. Before God and man, I most solemnly swear to fulfill the above mentioned promises to the best of my ability. VOTE YES ON SANTA FE HARBOR LINE FRANCHISE (Proposition No. 7) By the printed argument, mailed to the voters with the sample ballot, against the adoption of the ordinance granting to the Santa Fe a franchise to construct a line of railroad to the harbor across four (4) streets and, for a short distance along one street in the Harbor District, the opponents of the franchise would, by unfair tactics, have it appear that the proposed line will cross a large number of important thoroughfares along Slausson Avenue. The argument is entirely misleading. The only streets in the City of Los Angeles to be crossed by the line covered by the franchise are situated in the Harbor District, 18 or 20 miles from Slausson Avenue. The Santa Fe owns and operates and, for a great many years, has owned and operated on its own right of way a line of railroad along and contiguous to, but entirely outside of, Slausson Avenue, which line already crosses the streets shown on the map incorporated in the above mentioned printed argument. The franchise gives to the Railway Company no new or additional rights or privileges insofar as such crossings are concerned. There will not be an additional crossing created along Slausson Avenue, or elsewhere in the City of Los Angeles, except those in the Harbor District. Considering the concessions made by the Santa Fe, all of which are incorporated in the franchise, railroad crossing conditions along Slausson Avenue will, after the extension of its line to to the harbor, b ematerially improved over present conditions; whatever danger or delay at such crossings may now exist will be diminished rahter than enhanced. And in this connection, it will be of interest to the voters to learn that the Santa Fe is to expend over $600,000.00 in separating the grades at crossings between El Segundo and the Harbor, the points between which the new line is to be constructed, a distance of only about 12 miles. This record is unequalled by any other railroad in the State of California. Further, the Santa Fe has agreed, and the ordinance so requires, that it will separate the grade of its proposed line and the grade of any main thoroughfares hereafter extended across such lin in the City of Los Angeles. VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION NO. 7 The Atchison, Tepeka and Santa Fe MOTOR BUSSES Have Been Tried FOUND WANTING Proponents of the plan to give the Bus Line a 21-year free grant to use our streets assert that the busses are NEEDED to help in the movement of transportation in Los Angeles. THE ENTIRE PROPOSED FLEET OF 125 BUSSES WITH CAPACITY LOADS WILL RELIEVE THE PRESENT TRANSPORTATION BURDEN BY LESS THAN 5 PER CENT. EXPERIENCES OF OTHER CITIES Des Moines tried the busses for 17 months—and voted them out by a majority of two to one. Spokane tried the busses—and eliminated them by a Spokane tried the busses—and eliminated them by a decisive vote of the people. Baltimore forces the busses to discontinue operations before they reach the congested area of the city. Kansas City allows busses only on streets where property owners have given consent. Thus far this consent has been refused. Toledo permitted busses to gain a hold on the city streets. The result was demoralized transportation and at present higher fares on the car lines. Newark, N. J. merchants have appealed to have the busses curtailed to a marked degree, following transportation difficulties and serious interruption to business. tation difficulties and serious interruption to business. Saginaw, Bridgeport, Conn., and many other communities have tried the busses as a public utility and found them wanting. They were fortunate in being able to eliminate and curtail the busses when their ultimate failure became manifest. 21-YEAR FRANCHISE But Los Angeles, if it permit must continue this permit for ed for.

The Mote and the Beam— Soviet Russia executed a Catholic Priest, very recently, and the Christian world stood agast. Although he was charged with treason in conspiring against the Soviet government, protests against the execution flooded Lenne and Trotsky. Among the protestants was the United States. With her usual arrogance and "Holier than thou" attitude she accuses the Russian government of barbarism. Senator Borah has well said that "Before we charge others with cruelty and inhumanity, let us practice some Christian precepts and principles ourselves." It has come to the knowledge of the public that peonage does exist in the South, although it had been strenuously denied. Of course the denials registered, because the victims were black people. But now it is different. A white lad from North Dakota was beating his way on a train down in Florida. There is a fine of $25.00 and not having the money necessary for the fine he was farmed out to a Lumber Company to work in the swamps. He was sick. The "Whipping Boss" said he was shirking and beat him brutally. He died: Now the entire nation is aroused. Boycotts against the Winter Resorts are threatened, and even the Legislature declares war against the "System." war against the church. It is not known whether or no the lad received a Christian burial. It is claimed by signed affidavits, that his body may have been thrown in the much of the swamp. Cruelty: Brutality is pictured in every account written to the family of that lad who went out to see the world, and met with such a calamitous end. But what of the hundreds of black men whose bones whiten below the black mud of the Everglades? That law was primarily made for them. They did not count in the scales of HUMANITY. The lynching of Leo Frank stirred public opinion, and it became aware that lawlessness knew no bounds. It may be that the death of Martin Tabert will put an end to the pernicious system of peonage which has caused the deaths of innumerable black people. Why is it that one out of ten men whom one hears abusing—not criticising—the government, don't speak the language? Of the many agitators we have heard addressing meetings, or haranguing in the public parks, all of them. The leaders, spoke with a foreign accent. We listened in vain for the twang of New England; the drawl of the South or the slang of the West, instead we heard the patois or brogue that betrayed the foreign origin. It is doubtful if nine out of ten could name consecutively seven names of presidents who served the country. There is a county in California whose political "Boss" manages the voters from the country which produces world renowned musicians, including the man who announces the arrival of Spring with the organ and the monkey. Several of those voters went up for their final naturalization. When asked who was the first President of the United States, all of them but one gave the name of the "Boss." That one gave the name, Wilson. Yet Judge Gary would let down the bars and have unrestricted immigration. The Status One used to believe that the Negro was persecuted because of his color, and, then again because of his previous condition but after a more casual study from another angle we are inclined to believe that with the influx of the foreign element, who have had the virus injected prior to their arrival on these shores, that the Negro is looked upon as an undesirable foreigner—a racial stranger. born The majority of our foreign born citizens are not aware that the Negro is part of the woof and warp of this Nation. They know nothing of the part which he has played in the development of the Nation. What part that he has played in the history of the nation's military achievements. All that he knows, is, that there are proscriptions against his rights of citizenship; that he is termed a parish in the social scale, and beneath the most ignorant alien who ever came over in the steerage. Yes, we have got another angle to fight. We have to educate fellows who come from over the seas that we assisted greatly in making this country; this Nation, a desirable place to come to, and that we need his assistance to "Make It Safe For Democracy." CHURCHMEN ACCEPT TRUTHS OF SCIENCE Episcopalian Educators at Omaha Ask Only Loyalty to the Apostles' Creed. (Crusader Service) OMAHA. Neb.

DROUGHT GRIPS THE WEST INDIES Three Year's Aridity Causes Much Suffering and Great Loss in Islands (Crusader Service) KINGSTON, Ja., April 25.—(By Mail.) One of the severest droughts within the memory has struck the West Indies causing untold loss and much personal suffering. In all the Islands the story is the same. Porto Rico alone shows little effect from it, though the southside of the island is burned and devastated. Elsewhere on the island the green valleys and mountains afford a striking contrast with its neighbors. In Jamaacia, the drought is in its third year. Cattle are dying off. Children are suffering from lack of water and milk. Pasture land is parched. Fruit and vegetable crops have been destroyed or damaged where irrigation is not practised. There is an abundance of water in the mountains, but the valleys and plains receive little benefit from it. The occasional showers are confined to the hills. On the lower slopes people are desperate. On the islands of Haiti, the two colored republics report a similar condition. Some of the natives carry water for miles, usually in gourds carried on their heads. In Cuba the southern half of the island suffers similarly. In the North they have some rain. So acute is the situation in the Virgin Islands that American engineers are being rushed to St. Thomas to see what can be done to relieve the plight of the inhabitants who are literally begging for water.

Among the Track and Field Teams to Pullman, possible men to go were Otto Anderson, Norman Anderson, Yale Martz, and our own quarter-miler and relay man, Ivan Johnson. A relay team composed of Hughes, Torkelson, Johnson and Martz would be very fast and hard to beat.

More Racial Consciousness is Aim. Permanent Body Formed. Will Carry Its Doctrines To Every School and City in the Country. The first conference of the American Federation of Negro Students convened at Howard University April 6 and 7, both dates inclusive. This organization grew out of a meeting held last summer in Atlantic City, N. J. It was composed of students attending Oberlin, Yale, Howard, Cornell, Lincoln, Tuskegee, Downington, Montclair Normal School, Atlantic City High School and others. This meeting authorized an Executive Committee to place before the thinking Negro students of America, five vital questions: The promotion of co-operation, the stimulation of race pride, the encouragement of education, the increasing of race culture, and an intelligent consideration of the race problems. The Executive Committee, composed of seven students of Lincoln University, with the slogan: "A More Progressive People," called upon the students of high schools, colleges and universities, and their equivalents to unite in a conference composed of delegates from the various institutions. The business of the first conference was the drafting of a constructive program for the ensuing year. The first meeting of the Conference was called to order Friday morning, April 6. at 9:30 o'clock, in the Mooreland room of the Carnegie Library, Howard University. Temporary officers consisting of one student each from Howard University, Lincoln, and Swift Memorial College, Tennessee, were elected to conduct the Conference. Committees were appointed to record the findings of the Conference, and to suggest remedies for the defects which were found by the Conference to exist among the Negro race. During the course of the first session, Dr. E. L. Parks, Dean of Men at Howard University; and Dr. A. Leroy Locke of hite Department of Philosophy; Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Dean of Women, and Mr. William B. West, Executive Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. addressed the students and expressed hopes and beliefs for the great future of the student movement. Open Session. The meeting adjourned, at 12:00 o'clock to engage in a special Chapel service with the students of Howard University. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee. President of the University, welcomed the students to Howard. Mr. D. Ward Nichols. President of the Student Council, then assumed charge of the CCapel service, presenting the founder of the organization in an explanation of the purpose of the student conference. An important resolution, to which the student organization stands pledged, is the advocacy of the teaching of Negro history in colored high schools, colleges and Universities throut the country. The meeting was extended thru Monday evening for the purpose of adopting a Constitution for the organization. Three national drives were decided upon, to be conducted at stated intervals, during the ensuing year: one in October, one in December, and one in March, 1924. The purpose of the drives will before: the increasing of "business Cooperation;" the stimula of "Race Pride;" and the encour. side nt of "Education," respectively. which drives will be conducted by students throut the country in churches, Sunday-schools, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. organizations, and thru the press of the country. From the press the organization was favored and endorsed by Mr. William O. Walker. Editor of "The Washington Tribune," who spoke on Saturday morning. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mr. I. J. K Wells, Lincoln, President; Mr. E. C. Frazier, Howard, Vice President; Mr. C. Glenn Carrington, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Secretary; Mr. George W. Goodman, Lincoln, Corresponding Secretary; Mr. Thomas L. Dabney, Union, Treasurer; Mr. W. A. James, Swift Memorial College, Chaplain; Mr. A. Leon Richardson, Howard, chairman, Committee on Publicity. Next year the organization will meet in the heart of the Southland. It convenes in Nashville, Tennessee, the first Thursday in April, 1924. Pad Selects Trophies for Annual Tournament.

He sustained a broken finger. THE WORK WORTH WHILE I love the constant rap of the type- writer's tap. The endess stream of strangers that come to my door; I love the ceaseless whirl of the busy life's swirl The books that crowd my desk and lay upon the floor. I love the steady work where no man cares to shirk. But diligently toils with a song and a smile; I love the thrifty sound of the old daily round. And the spell of the work that is really worth while. There are those who will dream, and those who always seem To grieve over life's hardships, its traps and its sares; But they will learn some day, as the years roll away. That success favors the man who la- bors and dares Don't grieve it too late; just keep toiling and wait And you'll be labeled and punched on the best man's file! Your life will be well spent if you'll always keep bent On the spell of the work that is really worth while. BASEBALL STARS WITH SQUAD AGAIN Bruce Jackson will be seen again this year when the prep school baseball season starts. He is one of Jefferson's star mound-men. Bruce is an all-round athlete. He plays football, basket-ball, is a good high jumper, and throws a wicked ball. Any one who has seen him in action will agree that he has in him the making of a great athlete should he enter college. Riddle, star football player of U. S. C. may be found with the baseball squad again this season. He plays a whirl wind game at short; is fast, and considered one of the strongest men on the team. THESE ARE THEY WHO SERVE (By Wendell P. Gadden, Jr.) The rumbling of the gray roadster ceased, as Dr. Maurice drove up beside the long veranda and stopped where a wide, white and smooth walk ran diagonally up the slight incline to join the driveway What a handsome estate! A modern Southern California bungalow, green-colored and vine-covered, surrounded by a landscape of miniature gardens supplied with flowers of many hues and fragrant. Only a slight glance at the doctor would have disclosed a haggard face, steady, but sad eyes, and a body completely fatigued. What wonders he had worked with his hands—those hands long used to work—and coupled with broad training, and a thorough knowledge of his profession, and a great kind heart, ever faithful to duty, he had become successful. He was not only well-known, but well-loved by the community. Just beneath his soft felt hat of black, touches of gray in his black hair revealed the fact that he was approaching middle-age, though his dark face was not yet wrinkled. Dr Maurice was about to alight, but slipped into his comfortable seat again when the gardener approaching, evoked interesting conversation. "Hello, Joe," the physician said good-naturely. "What is new?" The gardener leaned against the hoe which he had just finished using. "Oh, Doctor, I have gleaned the papers and read about everything from marathon dancers to flying flivers, and have concluded that there is "nothing new under the sun." They both laughed heartily. Dr. Maurice made a general survey of his estate. "My!" he said. "The gardens are wonderful. It is a pleasure to get home at last and enjoy the sight of so many beautiful flowers. You know, Joe, I envy you." "Envy me?" Why you are doing great things. You remember Christ once said that he 'came into the world not to be administered unto, but to minister and give his life a ransom for many.' You can never be repaid for all you have done." The other listened attentively, seemingly grave. "You make people happy by your cheerful personality, and your artistic taste. You are out in the open air with flowers around you, and the birds, and the cup of blue above, while I mingle with all classes of people driving in the heart of the city sometimes when traffic is congested. There are so many cases that claim my attention, sickness and poverty, and misery. And yet, there is a joy in serving the unfortunate." "And what is greater than to save a life, to mend a life, to help re-make a man? Again, the Master said: "He who would be great among you let him be servant of all." or something or that sort. Joe had removed his big sun hat, and stood with one foot resting on the running board. The two men ceased their talk. Dr. Maurice started the motor of his car and drove slowly to the garage. Joe continued his work in the gardens and among the hedges.

Each year the first year men have a city meet of their own, and each high school is represented. Lincoln has won this meet for three consecutive years, and according to statements made by Coach Tommy Myles, will again bring home the bacon. Among those out are, Leo Lawrence and Adolphus Jones. The former in the sprints and the latter in the distance events, will be some combination. Last Friday Lincoln track team defeated Pasadena by a count of 61 to 52, on the latter's field. InI the 100 yard dash, three lads of color crossed the finish line in one-two-three order. They were, Whisar and Hurlic of Pasadena, and Duncan of Lincoln, time 10:2.

ALPHA PHI ALPHA TO THE FRONT Local Chapter Will Conduct "Educational Campaign," Movement is National in Scope. There is a movement being carried on throughout the Nation known as the "Go To High School—Go To College" campaign. It is being conducted by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the first and strongest of Negro College Fraternities, having chapters in forty-four of the largest Universities and Colleges in America. he drive is an annual event with Alpha men and is an attempt to arouse the general interest of the Colored youth of the country to "Get an Education—Stay in Schoo." It is unnecessary to dwell at length on the importance of such a measure; the need of ducation in our ranks is evident when one measures the conditions that constantly confront our people. Only thru such a medium will we be able to cope impressively with the unGodly situations to which we are often forced to submit ourselves. The local chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha known as the Alpha Delta Chapter and having its seat at the University of Southern California, will take its place in promoting the spirit of the general organization, by holding its Educational Campaign from Sunday, April 29th to Sunday, May 13th. Following is a schedule of the meetings. Sunday, April 29th, our National Educational Sunday, will be celebrated by two big meetings. In the morning at the Westminster Presbyterian Church, on 35th Place and Denker. Dr. John H. Montgomery, the registar of the University of Southern California, will be the principal speaker.

C. P. in such a connection. It is the only organization in the world that exists "the spirit of persecution" which confronts the Colored people of this land, to safeguard their full political and legal rights, and secure for them equality of opportunity with all other citizens. And we think the Association is making headway with its praiseworthy program. We know that hundreds of victims of peonage in the South realize that their ultimate salvation is through this organization, and the helpless men accused in the Arkansas riot cases, whose lives have been saved thus far by the N. A. A. C. P. will tell you that this is the greatest organization they have ever known. The N. A. A. C. P. has also rendered valuable service right here in California. One can never tell how soon it will be called upon to meet conditions that may be quite as serious here as they are in other sections of the country. If the organization shall continue to work with increasing efficiency, it must, of course, have the support of all the people, particularly of those who are the direct beneficiaries of its labors. The Los Angeles membership quote this year is only 3000, but we ought to be able to find at least 10,000 people in this great city who will contribute at least 1,000 a year for N. A. A. C. P. memberships. It is all for the people, and it is a small investment indeed for such an important purpose. C. A. SPEAR BASS, Managing Editor J. B. BASS ..... Editor E. T. HUBBARD.....

As we go to press the silk stocking brigrade has about shot their bolt and the people will speak up on next Tuesday in no uncertain tones against the proposed Amendment No. 5 which repeals the Jitney Bus Ordinance and also against No. 6 which would give away our streets to the Motor Bus Corporation for a period of 21 years. From all angles they have studied the situation and will join with those who truly stand for real progress and bury this pernicious ordinance under an avalanche of votes. Do not forget if No. 5 passes the Jitney Bus law is repealed and there is nothing to keep the jitneys of all sort from operating upon our streets again. VOTE FOR SANTA FE HARBOR FRANCHISE. Los Angeles stands way up on the list of the great cities of the nation, something like the sixth or seventh. This comes about from the fact that she has never been backward in providing a way for the enlargement of its territory and resources. And there is no good reason why the great Santa Fe line should be denied an entrance to the harbor, but on the contrary it should be permitted there just the same as the Southern Pacific, Salt Lake and Pacific Electric. In making this improvement it will not set back anybody but will cause business to come in many places which are at present dormant along the line of business effort. The Slauson Ave. bugaboo is but chaff, the road already has a franchise on Slauson way, it now only wants to go into the harbor and must spend more than a million and a half dollars to build the line to the harbor. By all means vote to let them spend it., It makes business good. A JITNEY OCCASION. If the repeal of ordinance No. 5 is necessary to the granting of a franchise to the Motor Bus Corporation, by what sort of reasoning are we to assume that the bars are not down and the dinky Jitney cannot come forth in all of its hideousness to harass a long suffering public. To our mind the election in so far as ordinances Nos. 5 and 6 are concerned is a Jitney occasion, this being so, we have but one recourse, and that is to Vote NO on both 5 and 6. ELECT ALEXANDER. A practical demonstration of real efforts to get together should be manifest on next Tuesday, after which all candidates who qualify will be subject to the closest scrutiny up to the general election in June. There is no time now to lag on some fancied grievance, but with one pull all together, let's put Alexander over for a place on the Councilmanic ticket. CHIEF OAKS. This paper takes no stock in any public statement to the effect that Chief of Police Louis D. Oaks is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, his public acts contradict the assertion. In many ways he has deserved the praises of the people for the W. M. SHE If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened democratic manner in which he has conducted the police department. We have never hesitated to give him due credit, however, we feel that the Chief if he were correctly quoted in the Times of last Tuesday went out of his way to cast aspersions by inuendos upon a race and individuals as well. The colored people do not stand for crooked officers any more than the white people stand for this specie of officer, and there is in proportion far more crookedness with the white officers than there is among the Negroes and just why the Chief would single out colored people and colored officers we cannot understand. Life is a dream and death the awakening. To error is human—to forgive divine. The family altar is heaven's threshold. The heart is that part of the personality of a man which feels after God. Music often starts off the savage. To dally with your purpose, to half will, to hang forever in the balance, is to lose your grip on life. THE HOME LOSING ITS GRIP UPON YOUNG LIFE. The home is losing its grip upon the young life of today. Fathers and mothers are failing in their duty. They are not doing their job—a tragic price will be paid for this failure if parents are not aroused to a renewed sense of their responsibility. The home is the strategic center in any campaign to win America for God and His righteousness. It is next to the church. It must be convinced of its responsibility. It must re-assert its authority over the years which lack judgment. It must regain its position of power and privileges as the teacher of faith and the builder of character. Fathers and mothers, this is your duty, your task for America and God. WELCOME CHANDLER OWEN. We wish to welcome in our midst this coming week the brilliant and forceful co-editor of the Messenger of New York, and appreciate with the rest of our citizens his second visit in our midst. On his previous visit he brought hope and inspiration to all who heard him and we have a right to expect on this occasion that he will bring to us even more bountiful than before ideas to which we may all aspire, all to the glory and continued progress of a struggling race. APPRECIATION. Don't for one moment forget such friends who aspire to places on the School Board as Miss Jessie York, tried and true, standing for what is right at all times, a true servant of the people is this devoted woman. It is the duty of every colored voter to not only vote, but work for her election. For Coucilman there has never been a truer friend for all the people in that body than P. S. Sparks. This being so the people should not hesitate to express themselves at the polls on Tuesday. THE BYSTANDER Those who listened in Monday evening over the Herald Radio were privileged to hear Prof. W. T. Wilkins, Mr. Claude Pitts and Miss Louise Banton. In spite of Continuous information concerning discrimination and prejudice, it is a source of delight to see and learn of true appreciation and recognition of art. These young people are representatives we are proud of, and we are most agreeably pleased when we consider that they have demonstrated to our fellow citizens that we can "strut along" in classics as ably as we can "strut" in musical revue. AGE They tell us that the active, venerable Mr. John Rucker of the satisfying team of Perrin and Rucker, in "Struttin' Along" is in his seventies. That is remarkable for a man of such vivacity. Some few days ago Chaucey M. Depew celebrated his eighty-ninth birthday. Here we have two points of view, one, the man of money and means, the other an humble citizen fighting his way as hundreds applaud. Both must be congratulated. I do not know. Mr. Rucker's creed but it is safe to say that he would corroborate these immortal words of Chaucey Depew, "No glands or new-fangled nostrums of any kind are responsible for my excellent physical THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN By: L. K. BEEKS and mental condition. Neither has it been aided by Conan Doyle's spirits. My problems have been solved by the teachings and memory of my mother. All great crises in my life have been solved more easily by prayer." Young old, rich and poor, ought to pause and pay particular attention to the words of this nonogenerian, especially his reference to mother and prayer. GO TO SCHOOL This is the slogan of a group of young men banded in a franity. They will hurl this challenge throughout the country, our city included. As they walk up and down Central Ave. if that is in the itinerary, they might offer an alternate "Go to School, or Go to Work." PERPETUAL YOUTH A REAL POSSIBILITY "AND NO MONKEY-GLAND STUFF EITHER." M. B. By: DR. E. B. LEWIS, B. Sc., M. D. 16181/2 East 9th Street While the flight of time is interwoven in man's existence, senility and old age are not at all necessary accompaniments. Birth, growth, childhood and youth are inseparable from life, because life buds from life. Age, however, in the sense of lost youth, fossilism and decay is a deprivation, a taking away, a subtraction from that which is life. If a human being, an animal, a plant or microbe or any other living thing is not involved with its own waste products—if it is given its required air, light, moisture, minerals and food—if it is not stimulated by artificial means or depressed with the over-gratification of its appetites, it is evident from observations and experiments upon simple living things that life, like a river, can flow on forever. It is now well known that microbes, amoebae, paramecia, certain worms and the units of man's flesh when simplified and separated from the complex syndicate called "the human body," can, if gently and steadily bathed and washed free from the homemade poisons and waste, renew and perpetuate their youth. To be sure, food, moisture and appropriate interchanges between the living thing and the environment are demanded. Otherwise there will be Subject: CRYER-FOR-MAYOR Text: HE MUST BE RE-ELECTED WHAT WAS DOING We would call to the attention a few of the casts of justice she Cryer, Mayor of Los Angeles.

Lama WHAT WAS DONE IN THE PAST We would call to the attention of our members and friends a few of the casts of justice shown our group by Hon. Geo. E. Cryer, Mayor of Los Angeles. It is our opinion that he has entertained a very friendly feeling towards our people. He has, of his own free will and accord, secured a promotion for Miss Homer Stapler who is, perhaps, the only representative of our race employed in a clerical capacity in the City Government. This promotion carries with it an increase in salary. Several other appointments have been made in the Police Department. Each received the endorsement of Mayor Cryer. He also championed the cause of those Colored Officers who were dismissed from the service on charges which, in his just estimation, were not sufficient, but which in the absence of that discretion, would have produced an unfavorable result. These men are working now. They have proven worthy of the consideration shown them. Under Mayor Cryer's administration five Colored Officers have been promoted from Detective Sergeants to Lieutenants, a signal honor to our group and an economic stimulus to their families. More Colored men have been appointed to the Police Force during his term of office than have been under the combined periods of any two Mayors. On the basis of population and representation, he has given employment to our men in the Park Department of the City, each instance denoting a salary commensurate with the time and labor pursued. WHAT WILL BE DONE IN THE FUTURE Perhaps the most marked achievement for us in the near future will be the establishment of a Fire House, to be occupied solely by our group. This progress is not the outgrowth of an effort to segregate or ostracize Colored citizens, but rather it hastens and prepares the development of that day when our people will take on the responsibilities which their citizenship demands. It is simply a victory made possible through combined efforts. We say "victory" advisedly, for a new Fire House would give us 16 more Colored firemen, four of which would be technically licensed engineers, drawing salaries pro-rated by the Commission. Two other officers of superior rank would follow as a result. The approximate pay of these men would be, for the individual, $170.00 per month, or $2040.00 per annum. This number multiplied by 16 would approximate the sum paid our men by the City Government. Their salaries approach something like $24,480.00 annually; with 16 more men added the sum would reach $57,120.00 every twelve months. The difference between winning and losing this fight means a matter of thousands of dollars for our people. A vote for CRYER is a step towards the realization of a race Fire House. St. Paul, Minnesota, has one. It was procured in the manner which we now suggest to you—that to give your support to the candidate who sees the need, propriety and benefit of those rapid changes and developments. THE CALIFORNIA CITIZENS CIVIC LEAGUE no fuel, heat or stocking to keep the tissues supplied with the mortar and cement of life. WHAT "GROWTH" IS The extraordinary regenerative power of certain types of animals, as well as the human fabric, proves that in health, youth is almost constantly renewed. The skin is shed in unseen scales day by day. The hair drops out and is replaced by the new. The nails alone of your tissues can be seen renewing themselves month after mouth. When your finger and toe nails grow slowly or rapidly you have an index and a standard of what takes place in your muscles, skin and bones. When a bone is fractured new bone grows in two or three weeks to replace the lost and separated parts. Whenever clean, uninfected sores do not heal, when nails do not renew themselves, when broken bones do not knit, when the skin fails to remain smooth and moderately moist, there you have signs of deterioration, ill health, loss of life's balance, decay, fossilization and testimony that the regenerative powers native to sound tissues have waned. That is old age. Surely, it is selfdeceptive madness to blame such loss of youth renewals upon the flight of years. True enough, the impulse and inertia inherited by the tissues of a sea-going tortoise may carry it through most vicissitudes over a longer stretch—hundreds or perhaps thousands—of years. Equally true le is that the appetite and exigencies, competition and wider experience of the human body develop in inheritance apparently less than a hundred stable years. Let all this be as it may, the facts still prove that man's allotment of three score and ten can be extended as well as hold useful. The essentials are not necessarily those of a tortoise, a parrot or an elephant, but they are such as many persons cannot abide. Among the ways to find perpetual youth, health and happiness is often to shun things that are most accessible and available to your appetites. In other words, too liberal a gratification of your emotions and your inclinations, your puttianisms and your preferences, your dillikes and your pleasures lead to old age, sexuality and decay.

Mr. Hughes, avenging the hanging of a clergyman in Russia, forbids Madam Kailpin, wife of a Russian statesman, to enter the United States, a government whose constitution recognizes no particular creed or form of religion. Why should this government become so greatly excited about the legal hanging of a clergyman in Russia, and apparently so indifferent to the ruthless and brutal murders perpetrated by mobs throughout the United States? Is it because the victims of mob violence in the United States are not generally reputed to be clergymen? Are the victims of mob violence of the appropriate nature to the government because they do not happen to be clergymen, owing allegiance to a foreign government? We would suggest to Mr. Hughes that charity begins at home, and before attempting to regulate the affairs of Russia he should read Matthew 7 Chapter and 3 verse.

Harding, spoke twice to the Confederate Veterans at New Orleans, Louisiana." He declared he considered Robert E. Lee, the greatest of American generals, and Jefferson Davis one of the South's greatest statesmen. He said he felt very kindly toward the South inasmuch as his grand-publisher was a cousin of the mother cf Loans, Insurance 10 "Elect" PHIL JACOBSON A Good Business Man TO THE COUNCIL VOTE FOR HIM Tuesday OTE FOR HIM AT PRIMARIE Tuesday, May 1st —VOTE FOR VOTE FOR HIM AT PRIMARIES Tuesday, May 1st Try Prescription No.100,000 A Cure for C We Manu We have a full line of F WHITE; Mme.

ALBERT BAUMANN DRUGGIST Phone Main 6064 NINTH AND CENTRAL After thanking the veterans for the manner in which he had been received, he added: "I want to thank the Southern people, too, for the kindness with which they have treated my son. The South never had a better friend than Warren G. Harding." It seems to be a part of the policy of our republican Presidents, and their spokesmen, to make annual visits to the South for the purpose of claiming kinship with some leader of the Southern confederacy, and advising old line republicans to accept leadership under a democratic rebellion converted to republicanism; and we are pleased to know that. The South never had a better friend than Warren G. Harding, if the declaration means that he is the friend of all the people of the South. The northern republicans and the southern democratic may differ on questions of policy, such as tariff, child labor law and questions of minor importance, but the violation of the 14th and 15th amendments of the Constitution of the United States seems to meet with the approval of both parties. America needs a President that knows something about Abraham Lincoln, and the principles for which he stood, and then it will not be necessary for our President to declare his friendship and good will toward the people of any particular section of this country.
