M. CHAS. E. PEARL Mr. Pearl was given what was intended to be a death blow with an electric flat iron by one of the men and when Mrs. Pearl realized that her husband was being attacked she screamed and was also struck on the head and shoulder with the same weapon. The Pearls are under the efficient care of Dr. Eugene Nelson, but are considered to be in serious condition. As to whether the crime was committed by robbers or enemies of the family as yet we have been unable to learn.

Simultaneously with the public announcement that Chas. O'Neal, the great playwright and author has completed and has ready for presentation to the public a new play "All God's Chillins Got Wing!" which calls for a cast of black and white actors comes the announcement also that Mr. Chas. Gilpin whose star acting made O'Neil's Emperor Jones the season's sensation a year ago and gained for himself the Spingarn medal, is to appear in a new and entirely different play "Roseanne" the splendid dramatic play of Nan Bagley Stephens, which was recently produced at Greenwich Village theater by a cast of all-white artists. Mr. Gilpi retreated from the role of Emperor Jones some time ago and since its presentation abroad in Paris the part has been enacted by an Algerian with more or less success. Mr. Gilpi when in Los Angeles during his Western tour last Spring stated at that time that he would welcome a change and be 'glad when the opportunity presented itself to divoring himself from the weird surrounding and background of Emperor Jones. Mr. Gilpin was deeply sensitive as well as appreciative of the opportunity the play and role of Emperor Jones afforded him to not only place himself as an actor but the entire face as well before the theatrical critics in a challenge for admittance to a higher plane of acting. Today we note with some degree of pride the passing of Uncle Tom and Sambo and welcome, the arrival on the higher plane of theatrical efforts of such names as Gilpin, Roland Hayes, Geo. Dewey Washington, Florence Cole-Talbert and others whose qualifications are being daily favorably criticized by the leading critics of the country. Tomorrow, and too, not the distant tomorrow, we will have dramas not only enacted by an entirely Negro cast but they will be playing to crowded houses with runs indefinite and in the enactment of such heavy plays and operas as King James, Merchant of Venice, Midsummer's Night Dream, Madam Butterfly and other such celebrities as Louis James, Frederick Ward, Katherine Kitter, Caroist and Mary Gerdner may wake to find their places in the public's opinion somewhat challenged by the late arrival of such competent actors as the Negro today has campioning his cause in a field hitherto restricted. Say, some things worth hearing; some things worth seeing, in the Paegan by the Junior Missionary Society of Second Baptist Church, March 12, 1824. Building Fund project The Second Baptist Church To Have One Among Largest Churches in Country THE DECADED DISTRICT CAFE LOS ANGELES FUTURE HOME OF THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Building Program Of The Second Baptist Church By T. L. GRIFFITH, PASTOR The hope of the members of the Second Baptist Church for a new and commodious house of worship is about to become a realization. It is the purpose to commence the construction of the new edifice as near June 15th as possible, and to have it completed by March 15th, 1925. The architects' estimate is that the cost will approximate $125,000. Two architects, Norman F. Marsh and Paul R. Williams, are associated in the planning, designing and in general architectural service. Mr. Marsh is the official architect of the Southern California Baptist Convention and he has drawn the interior plans. Mr. Paul R. Williams, the only Negro in the United States to become a member of the National Association of Architects has drawn the beautiful design which is shown in the accompanying picture. Both these architects will continue with us until the work is done. Three general lines of cure needs have been considered in arranging the interior of the new building: worship, religious education, and social service. No pain have been spared in planning for the worship, which is the fundamental need in church construction. The Building Committee took into account both present and future populations; and it decided it to be most practical to arrange for what is called the expanding auditorium. This is so arranged as to provide for small audiences, and also to accommodate as many as two thousand persons at a single service. The choir stand will accommodate a hundred persons. The baptistry will be elevated and in full view of the entire auditorium. This baptistry will be most beautiful, and the candidates' robing rooms will be on the balcony floor. There will be DR. T. L. GRIFFITH five front entrances to the balcony so that entrance and exit will be easy. The main auditorium will front on 24th Street so as to remove the worship from the noise of traffic on fourth Avenue. It is the earnest hope that this auditorium will serve a large purpose in ministering to the needs of a compendious institution of worship. Special consultation is also given to religious education. Five departmental: Sunday School rooms are planned for: cradle roll, primary, junior, senior and intermediate. These departmental rooms alone will take care of about a thousand children and young people, but the entire Sunday School arrangement can take care of a much larger number than this. The Sunday School workers are at the present time thinking and working as much as possible toward the new program which will be instituted in the new church edifice. The third line of work planned for is social service. There will be a Young Peolele's and a Women's reception room. The Behaviour Society is provided for. The work of the Colored Baptists of the State has been considered. There will be a library, and employment agency a day nursery, and a free clinic. The clinic department will have four room. There will also be a kitchen and soda fountain. The basement auditorium will be available for entertainments, or as a dining room, and will seat about five hundred persons. These social features will be organized as to have the building open every day in the week to serve the community needs. The purely recreational features have not been planned for, it being thought best to leave these lines to the work of the Young Men and Young Women's Christian Associations. ations. The church will hope for the co-operation of the entire community in this building program. Already three GREAT DAYS are being planned: Ground Breaking, Corner Stone Laying and Dedication. The arrangements for these days will be announced in due time. In the summer of last year, the church people and the I.A. City Mission society pleased over $80,000. These pledges are being paid weekly, and the memorialship is evinced an amazing loyalty to the program. The property on which this church house is to be erected is paid for, as well as the site on which the present church stands is free of debt. Foster Griffith is earnest in his effort to give Second Baptist Church and the denomination something that will not only be the pride of the Baptists in California, but the United States at large. (Lincoln News Service) Chicago, Feb. 26. - Linking the prin cibles of the martyred President Abraham Lincoln, with the creed of true Republicanism, Chairman John T. Adams, of the Republican National Committee, addressed the Annual National Convention of the Lincoln League, held in this city on the evening of Lincoln's Birthday, 1924. In commemorating the birthday of the Great Dinkin captain, Chairman Reams said: "Everywhere, today, the story of Abraham Lincoln is being told anew. In the Halls of Congress, ni the village schoolhouse, here in Chicago everywhere, from border to border—Americans are pausing again in their daily tasks, to speak for a moment of their most precious national memory. Lincoln is immortal. So long as the Republic lasts, his name will last. So long as his memory remains, the Nation will remain. You and I, perhaps, are merely incidents along the way, as the spirit of Abraham Lincoln moves, stanchly onward, generation after generation, into the ages. Customs change, standards may alter, faces will fade and new ones will appear, but the story of Abraham Lincoln will always appeal, and bind each new era securely back to the man and the day that made our Union sure. "It must have been a wonderful thing to live when Lincoln lived—to be his contemporary. It is a wonderful thing to be only a little way removed—to be able, still, to talk with persons who talked with the Great Emancipator—persons who saw him, and knew him, and witnessed the acts which assured him to us all, and to those who will follow. It is a wonderful thing to be able to say: 'Lincoln was a Republican—and I am a Republican.' Often, there is a very real penalty attached to greatness. Almost always to immortality. First we idolize—and then idealize. It is then that we striin from the memory of a man all that made him human—his flesh and blood and bone—and leave in their place mere marble and careless praise. There are many memorials to Abraham Lincoln. He sits in silent splendor, close to the banks of the Potomac. He is remembered in granite and bronze in many places. "But none of these things however beautiful, however inspired, are Lincoln. We must not permit ourselves to look upon them as such. The things that are Lincoln cannot be wrought from meat! or shaped in stone, Humility of heart, homeliness of mind, and gentle patience with lesser men, these were the simple attributes that made Lincoln an immortal memory. Without them he would still have been great, but he would not have been the Lincoln we love to recall. Because of these attributes, he brought a ruptured Nation through the horrow of internal war with its soul single and in tact. Because of them, he cleansed victory of vain glory and gave dignity to defeat. "Lincoln was a Republican and we are Republicans. What is why we are here together. Kevar before has it been more of a privilege openly to reassess our faith in our party. But it is not enough to say positively that we are Republicans. We must aspire to that Republicanism which was laid down for us so clearly by the mad we remember now. $2.00 THE YEAR NO. 44 ion POPULAR MATRON SUCCUMBS Mrs. Carrie Hunter Lewis, one of Los Angeles' most popular literary lights was laid to rest from Douglas Temple, of which she was a member, Wednesday, February 27th. Mrs. Lewis was originally from the State of Louisiana. She came to Los Angeles about ten years ago. She was a graduate from the Department of Elocution of the Boston Conservatory and possessed marked ability along that line. She was the author of several plays, among them was "Of One Blood" which she staged in Los Angeles and received high commendation for its merit as a dramatic production. Mrs. Lewis was married to Dr. Lewis one of Chicago's physicians, who passed away in Passa last year. She was the mother of a beautiful little girl, who also passed away some time ago. Since living in Los Angeles she acquired many friends, among them the members of Douglas Temple who greatly lament her passing at this time.

In the first place, "Jack Moonfixer" appointed himself arbiter of all things pertaining to Los Angeles and its citizens. His was a grandiose aping after Arthur Brisbane and Heywood Broun. Indeed he thought himself inspired by the Muse; and was unrelenting in his culture, contempt, and disdain; and everyone who failed to regard things from his own narrow and depraved viewpoint. Some shallow minds hailed him as the author of a new science of living, and cunningly adulated him and duped him into believing himself to be on intellectual god; when, as a matter of fact, his bungling and fatuous manner precluded any possibility of him being such. He expressed contempt for objects which others—and they were in a position to now—regarded with a stern sense of respect. In the second place, he was so restlessly discontent with his alarming mania for ridicule that he took up his pen to cripple the college machine. Through what the Belles Lettres Club has recently described—and accurately described—as his fatuous arrogance, he berated ever and anon our young people. They cannot open their baby mouth for what he is not ready to slam his rusty fist into it. He is the high priest of those who worship any movement which tends to discourage youth. He snarls and bites and truculently belittles their fraternities and sororities. He laughs like a lunatic at their various but wholesome interests. But, strangely enough, whil he has always been energetic in condemning these objects of wholesome amusement and self-expression, he has tried to defend as suitable and desirable, those poor specimens of sermons which we hear in our churches, which we are too often nauseated by and disgusted with. An insult to the ministerial imbecility of Los Angeles is an insult to him—all of which seems to warrant the astute suspicion that he must be one of them. His conception of a good sermon is one replete with platitudes. How could anything be more june, insipid, and boresome to those who are accustomed to listening to men who dare not face an audience without carefully and meticulously and elaborately preparing a discourse upon some timely and universal theme! All of this silly arrogance hastened the deliberate but abortive at tack of the Belles Lettres Club. They could not tolerate him, and, consequently, set themselves to the one task of taking this truculent tyrant through that horny houghtfare that leads to trouble. By their scorching criticism and scathing satire—some of which is worthy of almost a permanent place in the literature of social protest—they stripped him of his ostentious guise, and behold! he stood before the world a half-baked fatuous ass. He may continue to anonymously and lavishly pour forth his vaporized effusions, for he has no sense for the eternal fitness of things; but leave him to his inexorable fate and he will go down, as other upstarts and imposters have gone, into a black, bottomless pit of blessed oblivion. WOODROW WILSON In the death of Woodrow Wilson, the American people lose their greatest apostle of democracy, most practical idealist, and their most able and brilliant advocate of internationalism. Comnig upon the stage of human affairs when Europe was about to desiccate into continental jealousy, feud and disaster, no other man was better fitted than he to foresee that sooner or later the whole world must enter into war for the preservation and perpetuation of those high ethical principles and broad, humans sympathies which we call democracy. His foresight in the matter became more and more acutely recognized when, two years later, half of Europe had been swept into a storm of controversy and bloodshed; and, as the time came when the American people as a self-respecting people could no longer suppress their indignation over the cruel and inhuman treatment given her citizens abroad, no man ever appalled more earnestly to their spirit of self-sacrifice than he. None ever placed upon a loftier plane the issues for which our Allies were fighting; and for which America must needs take cup and defend if the world was to be made safe for democracy. And now the man has suffered, and conquered, and died, even his bitter enemies acknowledge him as the superior of mankind in her most critical period. He was in himself the embodiment of magnanimity and tolerance; and his words will go down ni history as part and parcel of the wisest counsel and most penetrating insight ever addressed to the human heart and to the human understanding. In his youth at Princeton, he stood out vividly as a personalitl. By his arduous labors in writing and speaking, and by his omniverous reading, he became a master of a vigorous English style. By his unabated interest in the political sciences and his ineffable ardor for understanding them, he became an established authority on all matters pertaining to the control and operation of a large government. His contributions to the various magazines have no counter-part in American literature and will be eagerly read and re-read by generations yet to come. His essaye, "When a Man Comes to Himself", "What is a College For?" and his last public message, published ni the August number of the Atlantic Monthly, "The Road Away From Revolution," are all destined to be followed and eagerly sought for when both men and man are in dire need of enlightened guidance. So long as there shall b ea just appreciation for the true, the beautiful, the heroic in human conduct; so long as these shall be given a just response to the dignified conservatism of any great leader, just so long will Woodrow Wilson live in the hearts and institutions of his country, in the hearts and institutions of mankind. SENATOR REED AND THE OIL SCANDAL Senator Reed, in opening his campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination, firmly avers that the corruption and iniquity involved in the oil scandal has not been fully laid bare. He charges McAdoo with having received the substantial sum of $1,000,000, and yet, he argues, McAdoo did not appear in a singl elaw-suit. Now if these charges against high morality and clean statesmanship are true, why then, did not the senator fully and thoroughly bring to book these misdemeanors before entering upon his campaign? Certainly his changes of receiving hte Democratic nomination would have been more eobvious. He would have received a stirring oation from the American people for insisting on cleannig out every iota of fraud and deceit that has ever tainted and contemned our public offices. But it seems to us that the senator's choleric outbursts in chargnig his colleagues with holding from the people certain stories which might lead to the conviction or banishment of prominent officials is merely one of his old and familiar tricks for getting publicity. Whatever charges he may make against McAdoo, and however relentless he may be in proving them, the fact remains that the latter holds a singular and peculiar place in the Democratic party which the former can never hope to aspire, however deeply his indignation over these matters may impress an unthinking American people. EMMA LU VIEWS THE HI JINKS Rah! Rah! Rah! And they were off! Meaning the Hi (there was one girl) Jinks (and thirteen boys), who made their debut before an appreciative audience, last Tuesday evening at the Gamut Club on South Hope Street. The Jinks also must have had something to do with the lateness of the program, since the "Hi" was there quite early in the evening. The Alpha Delta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, all students at the University of Southern California and Malcolm H. Patton, Jr., were responsible for the Musicale, which was well staged under Mr. Patton's direction, and partly written by him. There was much pep in the opening scenes that kept the audience laughing hilariously most of the time. Malcolm H. Patton easily took the lead, closely followed by John Taylor and William Stoard. On the whole the play was cleverly done, interspersed with old jokes, given a new twist, that completely won the audience. The Quartette by Arthur and William Prince, William Stoard and Aramise Fouche deserves special mention, for the way they sang "Lucky Jim" and other numbers with equal splendor. The quarrel scene from Julius Caesar by Samuel Danley and Malcolm Patton showed marked dramatic abil- ity and for the minute one's imagination was carried away to the days of Brutus and Cassius when Rome ruled the world. Although the characters in the "Debate" worked hard to put the scene over, they failed completely, to produce the results that had won their audience in the opening scenes. The Alpha Phi Alpha is planning bigger and better entertainments for the future, having made this one splendid "try-out" they assure us that no one will be the least bit disappointed in their next Hi-Jinks. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES By Willia mNarcisse Walter Gordon, Lincoln student, was recently elected a self government representative. Walter is the second race boy to have that honor thrust upon him. Lincoln's varity and lightweight basket ball team, gave one Jefferson High a double drubbing last week in the Railsplitters' gym. Addison Carter, guard de luxe of the lights, played a wonderful and steady game. It was through his excellent defensive work that Jeff was held on the small end. Last Sunday at the Coliseum, was held the A. A. U. relay carnival under the auspices of U. S. C. In the high school division, Hollywood High was This is the essence, the all in all of the gospel—Jesus tasting death for every man. For all men are sinners is it not remarkable—no matter what their difference of physiogonomy, of racial distinction, of birth and training, of education and power, of religious tradition, color, hair texture, stature, or what not, they are all sinners. There is the same moral obloquey and turpitude, the same selfishness, treachery, lust, ambition for power, greed, revengelessness, murderousness. Nor wealth nor poverty, nor education nor training, nor heritage, nor genius makes any difference. All are sinners. All come short of the glory of God. All, by nature hate holiness, and love themselves. Except of course those who have had a change of heart. Yes, I grant it, men are naturally religious, but there is never a religion of wisdom and love and holy equity, but a thing of selfish superstition and corruption. Even the gods they invent are tricky and lustful and corrupt. But the Bible gives us a vision, a revelation of the true God. He is holy, just, and good; longsuffering and gracious, slow to anger and plentious in mercy. Yet with Him the wages of sin is death. This is not a mere fight, whereel God is implacably renegful of those who please Him; it is just inevitably so in the nature of existence. Sin is transgression of the law; the law was ordained unto life. They who keep, it live; they who break it die. What difference does it make how the parent may love the child, if it disobeys and does that which kills it? "Honey don't drink that; it is poisonous. it will kill you". The child disobeys or forgets, goes on and drinks it, gets into convulsions and dies, or is saved from death by the most heroic measures. The wages of sin is death. The commandment was ordained unto life. It was broken. "Darling, don't play with that gun. It is loaded." But the child does not heed. A sudden discharge. A scream. The child or one of its companions lies in a pool of blood, dead. The commandment was not a prohibition of pleasure. It was ordained unto Life by the wisdom and tender love of the parent. But the child would not heed it. Result, death. "Keep out of the street, precious. You will get run over and killed." Play on the sidewalk or on the vacant lot." But the child will not heed. He gets with others and they play in the street. Autos race by. Somebody gets confused. A child is struck and run over. Death. Aching hearts, lasting regrets, sorrow, death. The wages of sin is death. Now the moral commandments given us by inspiration, from God are also ordained unto life. But do we keep them? No. Scarcely as wise as even our children we disbelieve our teachers and pursue our own way to. — death. It is worse than that. We have inherited from Adam, thru our parents a tendency to disobedience, a pull toward the wrong, an inclination to evil, a mind, called in the Bible "the carnal mind" (Ro. S), which is itself death. For death is not mere dissolution nor annihilation nor obliteration, nor eternal sleep; it is separation from God, who is real life (John 14:6) It is the extinction of the good, the noble, holy, the true within us. The divine graces give place to darkness, disorder, confusion, hopelessness, corruption, and lo we are dead. The passing of physical breath is only one phase of death. Real death is to be banished from God and His glory. Now Jesus tasted of death for us that we might not die. It was the divine arrangement. A holy mystery understood only by faith, but very satisfying to him who believes. We are dead in trespasses and in sins, but we believe God's testimony concerning His son. (John 5:10.11.) We believe that God so loved the world that He awe His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:15.16. We receive the atonement. Faith is victory. We live. Sin loses its charm and power. Darkness gives way to light. Confusion gives way to peace. We love God. Heaven opens o us. Our citizenship is transferred to glory. We conceive and an eternal hope. The fight of faith begins. We are happy. We live. We have eternal life. Delight ecstatic! glory ineffable! Hope transcendent! Day breaks! We are the children of light, the sons and daughters of peace, the royal heirs of glory. The cross prevails. Jesus died and rose again. We believe it. Our guilt is gone. We live. We have eternal life. For Jesus the life of God, lives again in all who believe. II Cor. 13. Amen. first with 14 digits while Lincoln was scaring them to death with 13 markers. of a 21- score.

OVERSIGHT In an article concerning the Elite Taxi Cab Company which recently appeared in our automotive section, the name of Mr. C. H. Curry should have appeared along with those of Messrs.

Congraulations, Dr. TRAFFIC Don't cut the buttons at street intersections unless you have more dollars than sense. Give a fire plug plenty of air. Even when the car so parked has a driver you are infringing on to law and while a policeman seldom molests you nevertheless he has the right to and might usurp that right on you. By the way have you a copy of the traffic rules? If not get one at your first opportunity. Read up and save policemen holding you up. It is absolutely against the law to drive a car without a windshield. Didn't know it? Neither did the other fellow, but he found out last week. Right and left turne are permissible throughout the down town business section only before 9:30 a. m. and after 9:15 p. m. If you are in he habit of sneaking by standing street cars outside the congested district, better from now on apply krakes and wait. Remember, street car patrons have some rights and if you accidently hit one or run them down it might temporarily, if not permanently deprive you of your liberty. Then to the person you hit might. I say might, by your sister, mother, brother or sweetheart, and then what? Of course most of you know it is against the law to park your car in the street all night, but if you don't and have been leaving Henry out, just arrange to make other arrangements before the law makes some for you. YOUR NEW LICENSE Before we shall have gone to print this week the tim limit for securing your 1424 license sh IahevaXZ@&H your 1924 license shall have expired. The Motor Vehicle Department, the several auto clubs, the many auto dealers, and accessories houses have all done their bit to assist you in keeping within the law.

The result is that they now find themselves not only liable to arrest, but subject to the payment of an extra 50 cents.

The aeroplane to be sure has challenged the auto's right to popularity and usefulness, and one cannot fail to admit that in its challenge it has found some who champion its cause, and while the war did much to bring it into practical existence, the time never will come when one will really see each a real competitor of the other, say Mr. Craig of the L. E. C. Garage. Its a long way from the days of Whistling Billy (white steamer) to the present. Some twenty odd years have passed and improvement upon improvement in motor design has given the world today the most useful piece of transportation. Useful alike in fact and positively essential to both the aeroplane and the automobile is the motor. The Seldon patent which was granted by the government in 1892, and incorporated the gasoline engine with the steering arrangement of the auto, giving it the name automobile came near proving Henry Ford and other manufacturers of autos hemesis in that, it controlled the output by exacting a royalty of so many dollars on each auto turned out. This was of no sequence as long as the out put was on a small basis; but when Henry and others got to making thousands instead of hundreds, the royalty run into such large figures that it began to prove an unbearable burden and threaten to curtail developments. Mr. Ford by this time had become such a factor in the auto world that he found himself financially able to challenge Mr. Seldon's patents. And following two suits that cost a million or more the second one was decided in his favor and hence forth royalties ceased and the development of the auto took place on a new lease of life until today we find it a legitimate factor in every walk of life. The poor, the rich, the manufacturer, the consumer, the business man, and last but not least, society in general, are all dependent upon the auto to such an extent that it is indispensable to their welfare. OUR POLICY This section is given over to the exclusive news and advertisements of the automobile. Each week we aim to furnish you with one or more articles on the auto itself, in addition to supplying you with the weekly happenings. Last week we featured an article on Balloon Tires written by the person who not only created the idea but actually introduced them to the public. We are indebted to J. B. Woods and Company, distributors of Hewett Tires for the article appearing. The Colorado Satesman announces, as another progressive step in Negro business, that a firm is to build a modern building and garage in Denver. Debate Grows Hot A resolution petitioning President Coolidge to correct the wrong done Aeronautics don't seem to aureal strongly to the "high flyers" of the race. There are several hundred Japanese truck farmers in New Jersey and more to follow. No hogs are raised on 32,920 of the 205,124 farms in Indiana. In Richmond, Va., the young colored ladies have formed a "Business and Professional Girls' Club". In the Imperial Valley, California, the Supreme Court's crop-sharing decision took Japanese from 50,000 acres of cotton land. The production of $12,500 worth of spinach on 20 acres of New Jersey land was accomplished by a colored truck farmer last year. Our delegates to the National Convention will find in Cleveland almost as many widows as single girls, fifteen years of age and over. At the next meeting of the National Business League, President Morton should entertain a motion to permanently establish and endow an "anxious seat" at Tuskegee.

Gary, Chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, is of special interest to our group, which is hoping to participate more fully in the industrial activities of the nation. In a recent interview Judge Gary is quoted as saying, concerning the future business outlook: "The situation is better than it has been in a long time. It is fundamentally sound in every essential respect. To this time — I emphasize that phrase — there is nothing that suggests it will not continue to be sound, and even improve. Several basic factors are responsible for these conditions. Foremost among them I should place the firm hand and sound practices that characterize the present administrative branch of the government, from President Coolidge downward. Of hardly less-bearing is the inherently healthy condition of affairs in the country. Our national income is steadily and irresistibly increasing. The value of farm products was never greater. There is virtually no unemployment. This encouraging news will be read by many colored men and women throughout the country, wage earners and business and professional men, who realize that the economic salvation of the race depends largely upon the prosperity of such industries as are represented by Judge Gary who gives employment to thousands of our people. They will be largely influenced by his views on public questions, to the consternation of the deacons of the mire who thrive best in the muddy waters of discontent, made turbid by general unemployment and poverty.

Church have deliberately challenged the men of said church for a financial rally commonly called men and women's day. Last year the women were victorious over the men; but this year the men will show the women where they belong. Whenever the men and women's day has been staged, the men have proved to the women that men are first. Phillips Chapel men have organized a men's chorus club, and they are extending to all men of the city an invitation to come and help us in both the financial and singing club. Phillips Chapel men really helped in making the men of the other churches effect victory. As we have given mutually, we feel that it is high time to receive mutually. We are calling upon every man, of every church, of every age and of every stage of life to come and help us in our rally the fourth Sunday in March, and we will show the women where they belong. N.A.A.C.P. WINS SCHOOL DISCRIM INATION CASE IN COFFEY-VILLE, KANSAS Segregation of white and colored pupils in Junior High School is forbidden, by the terms of a court decision, obtained after a legal battle fought in Coffeyville, Kansas, by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced today. The attorney, for the N.A.A.C.P. was Elisha Scott, of Scott and Vandyne, who was the first attorney to be employed by Robert L. Hill from Arkansas. According to Mr. Scott, the case "settles the question in this state as to discrimination in high schools. As you perhaps know a number of cities in Kansas have made a discrimination against colored people in the high schools, especially the so-called Junior High Schools." Writing to congratulate the N.A.A.C.P. on the victory, Mr. Scott says: "I am very grateful to the Association for the good work which they have done and the decision in this case is going to mean that the membership in Kansas will increase by leans and bounds." NOTICE FRIENDS I wish to make known my thanks to God for being able to be up and out again. I also wish to extend my sincere gratitude to those who called, administered, and added to my comfort during my illness. Yours very truly, D. T. Slaughter. (A blind brother.) Negro Aristocracy A Century Ago JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY The Ass'n for the Study of Negro Life and History, Inc. NEGRO ARISTOCRACY A CENTURY AGO 4500 Negro Owners of Slaves in 1840 Taking up the study of the Free Negro in the United States, the Research Department of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, directed by Dr. C. G. Woodson, decided to make this statistical report as to the hearts of families, their ownership of slaves and social relations with the whites. The aim was to facilitate the further study of this neglected group. Most of these people have been forgotten, for persons supposedly well informed in history are surprised to learn today that about a half million, almost one-seventh of the Negroes of this country, were free prior to the emancipation in 1865. They can hardly believe that 4500 of these were owners of slaves themselves in 1830, and in many cases controlled large plantations. The census record shows that the majority of the Negro owners of slaves were such from the point of view of philanthropy. In many instances the husband purchased a wife or vice versa. The slaves belonging to such families were few compared with the large numbers found among the whites on the well developed plantations. Slaves of Negroes were in some cases the children of a free father who had purchased his wife. If he did not thereafter emancipate the mother, as so many such husbands failed to do, his own children were born slaves and were thus reported by the enumerators. Some of these husbands were not anxious to liberate their wives immediately. They considered it advisable to put them on probation for a few years, and if they did not find them satisfactory they would sell their wives as other slave holders disposed of Negroes. For example, a Negro shoemaker in Charleston, South Carolina, purchased his wife for $700; but on finding her hard to please, he sold her a few months thereafter for $750, gaining $50 by the transaction. Dr. C. G. Woodson personally knew a man in Cumberland county, Virginia, whose mother was purchased by his father who had first bought himself. Becoming enamored of a male slave, she gave him her husband's manumission papers that they might escape together to free soil. Upon detecting this plot, the officers of the law got the impression that her husband had turned over the papers to the slave, and arrested the freeman for the supposed offense. He had such a difficulty in extricating himself from this complication that his attorney's fees amounted to $500. To pay them he disposed of his faithless wife for that amount. Benevolent Negroes often purchased slaves to make their lot easier by granting them their freedom for a nominal sum or by permitting them to work it out on liberal terms. Johy Barry Meachum, a Negro Baptist Minister in St. Louis, thus came into possession of as many as 20 slaves by 1836. The exploitation type of Negro slaveholder, moreover, sometimes feeling the sting of conscience liberated his slaves. Thus did Samuel Gigson, a Negro of Mississippi, in 1841, when he brought his slaves to Cincinnati, Ohio, and settled them on free territory. Practically all of these Negro slaveholders were in the South, Slavery, however, at that time had not been exterminated altogether in the North, and even there the Negro was following in the footsteps of the white man, as this report will show. In the South where almost all of the Negro slaveholders were, moreover, round, we find some of them competing with the large planters in the number of slaves they owned. Most of such Negro proprietors lived in Louisiana, South Carolina, Maryland and Virginia, as did the majority of all slave owners. Excepting those of Louisiana, one may say that most of the Negro owners of slaves lived in urban communities. In those parts of the South where the influence of the kind planter near the coast was not felt the Negro owner of slaves did not infrequently appear. The free Negroes themselves, moreover, encountered such difficulties in the lower South and Southwest that they had to seek more hospitable communities in free states. American Woodmen Campaign Giant of Negro Fraternals Launches Drive For Members The American Woodmen, commonly referred to as the "Giant of Negro Fraternals" and the "Millionaire Insurance Company", will begin its Anniversary Membership Drive, March 1st. A special dispensation has been allowed the Los Angeles camps for this campaign which will take place during the month of April. The Los Angeles Camps already number nine hundred members all of which have been secured since the organization of the camps in Los Angeles, eighteen months ago, and it is expected that the goal for a thousand members will be reached and passed long before the close of the drive. Prof. B. H. Graham, organizer of the Los Angeles Camps, and Supervising Deputy of the Woodmen in the state of California, is ably assisted by Deputies J. E. Rector, H. K. Watkins and R. Edwards. The last statistical report of Fraternal insurance societies compiled and published by the National Fraternal Monitor, showed the assets of the American Woodmen to be one million sixteen thousand, two hundred two dollars ($1,016,202.99), which placed it in the rank of millionaire societies. The American Woodmen employ around fifteen hundred colored men and women, with a monthly pay roll of thirty-five thousand or nearly half a million dollars a year. The society operates on the adequate rate and life insurance in amounts from $250 to $3000, paying sick, accident, burial, and death benefits. One of the new departments recently installed by the Los Angeles office is an employment bureau by means of which it is hoped to find work for the unemployed members of the organization free of charge. Mr. Graham is the authority for the further statement that within a short time, the Green Cross Nurse Corps will have on its staff at least one and probably two trained nurses whose duty shall be to visit and administer to the sick members daily. Scores of people are coming to Los Angeles weekly who are members of camps in towns and cities in other states. These ar easked to identify themselves with the local camps at once for their own protection. The Los Angeles office is located at 1500 Central avenue. Telephone Humboldt 7360. Those wishing to take advantage of the low dispensation should do so without delay. COLORED BUILDERS FORM ORGANIZATION (Lincoln News Service) Washington, Feb. 26.—Colored mechanics in this city, engaged in the building trades, have organized a Washington Builders Association, originally formed at Hampton Institute, Va. In this manner local trade artisans expect to stimulate interest and efficiency in the colored workman as a factor in a local industry. Roscoe J. Vaughn, the well-known architect, who designed and erected the New Prudential Bank at 715 Florida Avenue, N. W., was elected president of the local branch, which will disseminate knowledge of building changes and materials, and urge the training of colored mechanics, as well as he fostering of trade schools for colored youth. Republicans To Train Women For Campaign Republicans To Train Women For Campaign (Lincoln News Service) Washington, Feb. 26.—To prepare Republican women for work in the campaign next fall, "political Plattsburgs" are to be opened, according to announcement made by Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, Vice-Chairman of the Republican National Committee. There will be three classes for speakers, one for the study of party fundamentals, another in which practical politics and organization will be taught, while national issues will be discussed in the other. The first "training camp" will be held in New York, beginning March 3, under Mrs. Arthur L. Lvermore, a member of the executive committee of the Republican-National Committee, and originator of the courses. Chicago Republican Given Federal Appointment (Lincoln News Service) Chicago, Feb. 26—Morris Lewis, a Chicago Republican, as just received a federal appointment in the U. S. Department of Labor, with headquarters in this city. Mr. Lewis is a man of fine educational attainments, well fitted for expert work in labor circles, and colored Chicagoans are elated over the meritorious recognition given him by the administration. African Question At Paris Peace Conference (Lincoln News Service) New York, Feb. 26—Writing under the title of "African Questions at the Paris Peace Conference", an ambitious Anglo-Saxon author has published a book which deals with the conditions and needs of the African people. The author has described the German policy as advocated for Africa, and states that it was Germany's plan to establish "new Germanies" in the African continent. The author handles his subject ethnologically, politically, and economically, and works out a number of conclusions as colonial expert to the American commission of inquiry on the African situation, which were later accepted and written into the Earth settlement.

Friends and visitors are welcome. WARD CHAPEL A.M.E. CHURCH 1252 East 25th St. Rev. B. R. Guy, Pastor Rev. B. R. Guy, Pastor Services here are still encouraging. Our Sunday school showed much interest. Attendance good. At the morning services the pastor spoke from the text, "Whoseover lappeth water as a dog lappeth, set to themselves." The mixed audience gave earnest attention and showed their appreciation. Both endeavors were alive, and had good lessons. At night the pastor spoke from the text, "As it is written, there is none good, no not one." The audience was attentive, and three persons came for ward and knelt at the altar for prayer.

These sermons were both characteristic of the strong type of sermons the bishop always preaches. He will remain on the coast until after convocation which convenes in this month, March 12th. The public is cordially invited to attend. Prof. Bynum's choir readered extraordinary fine music at the reception Friday evening, and at the Sunday services. The Rev. L.

A. 9th and Hemlock Sts. Rev. H. D. Prowd, Pastor Our Subject in Sunday School was both instructive and inspiring. All were interested in—"The Period of the Judge." The Superintendent and Pastor made quite an impression on the young, by telling them, none can tell what the future holds for each one of them—all were in the preparation. Attention was called to the death of our dear little Vera Brooks, of Sister Johnson's Class. She was worthy to enter the Kingdom prepared for her. At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Prowd preached from Isaiah 6:8—"Here Am I, Send Me." All benefitted from the word and gave glory to God. At the B. Y. P. U. "The Care of the Poor," a Missionary Subject, was most delightfully discussed. Miss Lillian Prowd was the acting President and she did splendidly. Mr. L. H.

Thompson in charge. At 11 a.m. Prof. Moss, who has been in the city for five weeks, holding Sunday School Institutes, took charge and brought a message from the text "Whose Image is this?" He sent his message directly to the heart of his hearers, and each one present expressed very clearly their feelings of interest and enthusiasm. After his sermon there came foray and uniter with the church, Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn of Oklahoma, also Mrs. Southerland, who has recently come to our city from Cuba. She made the good confession and will very soon receive water baptism. At 7 p.m. Mrs. W. J. Thompson took charge of the Y.P.S.C.E. and had a very good meeting. At 7:50 regular evening services.

Come. EVANGELST LEWIS CLOSES GREAT REVIVAL What he considers one of his greatest efforts in California was the revival held by the Rev. W. M. Lewis, at Monrovia, which closed last Sunday. Both races participated in the nightly service, and great was the spirit of enthusiasm demonstrated by both white and colored. Many are the invitation extended to the Rev. Lewis by the white clergy of Monrovia. Rev. Lewis ten days revival at Monrovia not only stirred the church goers up to a deeper appreciation of their duty, but likewise netted the Monrovia Church twenty-five souls. So favorably impressed were the whites of Monrovia with the work, that Evangelist Lewis is doing that they have invited him to visit their religious conference that is being held at Long Beach this week. The next territory to be invaded by evangelist Lewis is Watts. Let all Southern California hear this gospel singer who is bringing men into the fold by the magnetic power of his voice.

The program of the services was marked with accelerated interest. At the eleven o'clock hour a magnificent audience thronged the church auditorium; many distinguished visitors were present. As a result of the masterly sermon preached by Dr. Greggs, fifteen persons were spiritually touched to unite themselves with this christian institution, and many present, were made to testify to the name of Jehovah aloud. A most inspirig and well prepared program was rendered in the evening, under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor Society. Excellent numbers were rendered by special talent from Hamilton M. E. Church Epworth League, from the Phillips Chapel C. M. E. Church Endeavor Society, from the B. Y. P. U. of New Hope Baptist Church and by many of the Endeavor workers of the Independent Church. The People's Independent Choir was at its best and sang at its best. The speaker of the evening was introduced by the Christian Endeavor President, Prof. C. A. Biggers. This address by Atty. M. H. Broyles, was filled with logic, science and inspiration, and brought meditation to the minds of his entire audience. A very fitting response was given by the Sunday School Superintendent, Mrs. B. E. Pr印ico, Mrs. C. J. Smith, chairman of the Program Committee, acted as Mistress of Ceremonies. The entire program as a whole, was one of par excellence. Next Sunday is another historic day for this church institution; it will be the Annual Celebration and the seventh Anniversary of the entry of the church body in their magnificent auditorium. A large free will offering is expected, and an overflowing audience is sure to be in attendance. This will be a special day of days. A special invitation is very cordially extended to the visitors.

NOTARY PUBLIC JOHN A. GRAY Teacher of Piano Aims for Solid Musicianship 706 E. 18TH ST. 287-666 THE STATE OF NEW YORK UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Gertrude E. Taylor, Notary 711111 MONROVIA A very large number of representative race men and women of Monrovia met at Shiloh A. M. E. Zion Church last Monday night, and organized what is to be known ac the Coolidge Republican Club of Monrovia. Mr. W. D. Hollins was made chairman and Mrs. L. Cheery, secretary. Mr. Holkins, after a few chosen remarks called upon Rev. G. W. Reed to make a talk, which he did outlining the reasons why the members of our race should organize at this time. The approaching presidential primaries, city election and the election of state legislature and other important state and county officials make it amount that we should organize for the fray, said Mr. Reed. Monrovia has a large colored voting population now and in a close vote our group holds the balance of power. After expressions by others the above organization was formed. An executive committee was appointed with Rev. G. W. Reed as chairman. This committee will have charge of the political end of the club and will make recommendations to the organisation of such men and issues as it believes will serve the best interest of all the people. The personnel of the committee is as follows: Rev. G. W. Reed, chairman: Thomas Bain J. Fisher, D. Taylor, M. Cheery, Mrs. Yancy, Mrs. M. C. Jones, Mrs. M. C. Jones, Mrs. M. C. V. Edwards, and Mr. H. C. Conley. The Monrovia woman's Community club met at Zion Methodist Church and held a very interesting meeting. The meeting adjourned and came in and took part in the organizing of the Coolidge club. Some people ought to learn how to forget the things that are behind and have sense enough to lock-step with progress. The man or woman in Monrovia does not see the difference in the progress of Monrovia even in the last eight months is blind and can not see further than the end of his nose. Race meetings are not for the purpose of grinding personal axes. Evangelist William Lewis has been here and gone, but Monrovia and vicinity know that he has been here. The revival campaign which he conducted at the A. M. E. Zion Church was an entire success from the beginning to the end. Twenty-eight souls were converted or reclaimed. Sunday night the church was crowded to overflowing and the Evangelist seemed to be at his best. The large audience responded excellently to the offering which was raised for the benefit of the evangelist. Drs. A. P. Shaw, of Wesley Chapel and S. M. Bean of Hamilton M. E. Churches of Los Angeles', Revs. Bentley, Haunmock, Slaughter, Prince Davis and White attended the meetings. The presence of the ministers gave inspiration to the services. Rev Reed, the pastor of the church, says. Miss Hallie Q. Brawn, president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, will speak at the A.M. M. E. Zion Church Thursday evening. March 6th. Miss Brown is one of the greatest speakers before the public today. All monrovia should hear her. SEATTLE NEWS By F. R. Brooks If you don't attend the regular meetings Sundays at the A. M. E. Church, you are certainly missing a treat. Rev. T. F. Jones, the pastor, certainly is a lovely speaker, and explains everything so that you can't help understanding his meaning, and it is very interesting. So we ask one and all to come and listen to him and enjoy the most delightful and beautiful services and be glad.

Brown A Douglas League was organized Tuesday at the First St. Baptist Church. The league is to look after the welfare of the Negro race of San Diego, and will also take care of the political affairs. Rev. Dyson, one of San Diego's progressive workers, who came to us from Ohio, is the founder, W. L. Johnson, editor of the San Diego Eagle was assigned chairman of the evening. But when all the offices had been filled he turned the chair over to the executive head, E. J. Botts one of San Diego's bright young men, who was elected to that office. Mr. Botts has much to be proud of in being able to represent our people at any occasion necessary. Mr. S. D. Richardson was elected vice president. This should make a great pull for the league as Mr. Botts and Mr. Richardson have been old teammates on many occasions, and there record stands second to none. Today they stand as a light house on the coast, L. J. Knight was elected sect, and A. L. Brown, treasurer, L. W. Johnson, was made chairman of the bylaws committee, with E. J. Gentry, Rev Dyson, John Hildeburg, L. J. Knight working with him. From all indications the league will soon be able to reach every race man and woman in San Diego. Men, women and children are asked to join. Any difficulties you may have bring them to the League. Let us join hands for something in San Diego and get the habit—say meet me at the league tonight. The stork is still busy in this section. On the fourth of February he visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Taylor, who live at 2210 L street.

WINSTON Druggist Contractor EMERY V. CRAIN PAUL R. WILLIAMS Banker Architect (Lincoln News Service) Washington, Feb. 26.—Representatives' of white farm organizations have been holding a series of conferences with senators and representatives here for several months, explaining the legislative needs of the farmer. Plans for farm relief, both legislative and departmental, have been discussed and a number of the farmers have appeared as witnesses before the Senate and House Agricultural Committees. Unfortunately, the colored farmers are not generally affiliated with the white farmers in their local organization, and but a very few locals of their own, the result of whic is a deplorable lack of useful information that is absolutely necessary to successful farming and marketing. Certainly the problems of these farmers are not less of importance than those of other racial groups, and it is thought by many who are interested tat if it is impossible to work out a plan that will permit of full participation in the organized activities of other farmers, then the nearly one million colored farmers, who are doing business on invested capital amounting to more than two billion dollars, should get together as early as possible and organize local associations wherever it is necessary, and thereafter effect essential arrangemente for state and national organizations. Especially important is the need of organization among those who hope to participate in the important system of agricultural credits and in the cooperative marketing benefits. The following editorial from "The Rural Messenger", our only Negro agricultural publication, in speaking of conditions in the southern states, says in its December issue: ```markdown ``` "Negro farmers should be given every advantage of intermediate credits recently provided for by Congress. Many of these agricultural credit acts don't aid heneeded Negro farmers of the South. Something is deficient when it comes to Negro farmers being benefitted by such credit movements. In many of the southern states we know where the financial power is that aids farmers, but the trouble is, as a rule, we can't get the power. When it comes to the Negro farmer, he is simply left out. That is all. "Negro farmers should be allowed to function in local cooperative financial institutions if necessary. There should not be reliance on these banks." Negroes are leaving the farms in the South. The Federal Credit Act is all right but the rub comes with the local credit corporations beginning to function. We trust that Negro farmers will be given ample opportunity to benefit by this act'. The above condition, however, is not peculiar to the South, but also obtains in many other localities in the northern and border states where nearly 70,000 colored farmers operate 3,300,000 acres of farmland, valued at $220,000,000. They, too, are having difficulties due to local opposition to their membership in existing organizations. Unless this local opposition to their membership can be overcome, as it has been in many instances, the only hope for the colored farmers, is to create their own organizations because the laws enacted by Congress require membership in such organizations before the benefits are made available. This cooperative plan is absolutely necessary because of the impossibility of dealing directly with 6,443,343 individual farmers located in 3,065 counties in 48 states. Before starting organizations, however, a committee of colored farmers in each locality should discuss the question of membership with the officials of local associations. BEDTIME STORIES IN A PULLMAN SMOKER The Humble Philosopher "Why, that fellow's our Assistant Superintendent of Service, now," said amiddle-aged gentleman to his traveling companion, as he unbuttoned a handsome frock coat and drew forth a cigar of tremendously large proportions. "He made a job for himself and openings for hi sassociates, so that our factory now has a fine group of colored mechanics." "Well, how came you to take him on?" asked the other gent, as he carded his cigartette and sat up to take notice, while I decided to "listen in" and gather some real live information about a seemingly impossible subject as a colored Assistant Superintendent of Service. "Twas a joke," replied the genial manufacturer, and I guess if I did that Bog was in earnest I wouldn't have made him the offer I made. I glad he was serious, though, as it helped him, gave some fine workmen a chance, and helped to put my company really in the map. hire me the great." I huw himg mihfetfa syaaa!C - the h hnr "Here's the way it all happened, continued the manufacturer, as he lighted his huge perfecto. Bob Hodges was the porter I always rode with part of Cleveland every Saturday night. ha he was in earnest, I told him to stop in the office the next time he was in Cleveland, and I'd ry to fix him up. You can hardly imagine my surprise when on the first of the month SEVEN Bob showed up, told me he had quit the rud, and asked for a job. All I can give you at present is a janitor's job. Bob, I told him, and $60.00 a month is all it pays." "Good", he said: I'm ready to hit. "So Bob went on as a janitor, and pretty soon, as the business grew, he had risen to the Chief Janitor, and had the privilege of hiring his own men. In less than a year after we had put our new buildings Bob had six assistants, all fine chaps, who worked hard and conscientiously. "One day, one of our best patternmakers was taken ill, and we were pushed for men and time with which to complete some contract work. We telegraphed around town for, patternmakers, but couldn't locate a single one. I was feeling mighty blue, when Bob entered, with a quizzical smile on his face. "Understand you need a patternmaker,' he said, upletly. 'I got a good one downstairs, if you'd like to try him, sir.' Bob continued. "Where is the man? Send him up to the Superintendent, at once" "I cried, scarcely able to believe Bob. "Well, sir, Bob brought up one of his colored janitors, and don't you know that fellow could make patterns as skillfully as any man yhom I have ever seen. "After that we were short of mechanie two or three times, and don't you know that Bob had a man on Ms force for practically every job in the plant. That sure did teach me a lesson, and when the department managers had a meeting, I ordered them to take on colored men whenever they came prepared to deliver the goods. Shrewd Bob Hodges had created jogs for his people out of nothing. Every time he hired a man, he had hired a man with a trad, and when the opportunity came, Bob was able to fill the gap, and fill it right. We've got about twenty-five colored mechanics out there now, and we don't have to worry about emergencies, for we've got a man, should we need one, for every job at the plant. I guess he could fill my place, if necessary", the general employer concluded, with a hearty laugh. Just then I felt audge on my arm which I found to be coming from the porter.

To the average per- son this word means the mere acquir- ing of a few nice manners and cus- toms, cr speaking knowledge of some of the world’s great things, Thig 1s, rhowever, not its meaning in th elarg- er sense. ? Dane Rudhyar gives this definition in the Musical Quarterly. “A culture may be defined aa the sum-total of the ‘powers of the Mind. released into op- eration through various social agen- cies, and enlivened by a certain type of emotions, during a‘definite period and in a definite race, or racial group.” Thus all art, literature, — social works, political constitutions, —en- gineering works, hygiene and medical discoveries affecting the collective health of a nation, etc. are agencies through which this “sum-total” of he pewers/of Mind are released into op- eration. In other words one can measure the mental development of a people or na- tion by the tangible evidences of their mental activities. In our race music is the greatest ev- idence of our mental development, In- dividuals may have achieved great- ness along other lines but the pulse of te race is felt and its eartbeat is heard only through music. A clue to the mentality of our forefathers can be heard in the words of our folk: songs. Their conception of God and the hereafter is shown in the spirit- uals or religious songs. The pley xongs show the humorous side of their natures, and all of them sound the depths of their emotions. Music was their greatest’ mode of self. cx- pression. We are thus able to get an outline of their culture as manifested during that period. Today, the “blues” and other jazz sengs are the agencies through which [the sont of the “mice is discerned. From the lowest man or woman. to the University student: from the in: teitectuals down to the common. peo: ple, this form of music mirrows onr present day culture, Not so much in the music ttsei’, whieh is but a reugh- ‘ening of the old rhythms and caden. lees. but in the words, Just as the (words of the cht sungs expressed the mental side of the people of that age, so the words of these new songs ex- press the mental side of this pres: lent day race people.

While it can not be. expected that many colored men or women. should be elected to Congress, it does, seem that there should be a few—at, least one: or. two—eonsidering the grea number of Negroes among the voters. For a few colored individuals to old high office ond draw high sala- ries would not in itself help the race’ at large; but there should be some one in Congress if possible unde: the Present system of voting, but there is. a system in use in some countries, hy which every minority has‘the samo share f representatives, that its vot- erx are when compared ‘with the whole number of voters. This is called Proportional Representation’ This menas that if any ,state "has ten representatives in Congress. then any party or class of people who are eee tenth of ‘the voters can choose’ one representative. If they are two- ‘tenths of the voters, they can elect two-tenths of the representatives. Oth- er numbers the same way. This is per- fectly fair, and it is also perfectly practicable. It only needs to have: the ‘method of election planned right. Fur- thermore, our United States conetitu- tion permits it, only we must have an act of Congress giving the States heir option of whether to use proportional representation or the present systém. Qn the other kand, even with pro- portional representation, it would be impossible to elect a colored repre- sentative in ary state where the col- ored voters are less than the propor- tion of one representative, But what could do them would be to bunch their votes xo that out of all the candidates running (all “of them being for con- gressman at large, and not by- dis Iricts) they. comld elect at least one white man who would be a good sure fiend of the colored people.
