Business Men Banquet ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE TELEPHONE: 829-244 Busi UNITY FINANCE GIVE SPREAD ```markdown ``` VOLUME 37 By: EMMA LU About fifty business men and women responded to the complimentary invitations of the Unity Finance Company, Wednesday evening at the Quality Cafe on East 12th street. The affair was given in the form of a magnificent banquet, by the directors of the Unity Finance, who are: Dr. Eugene C. Nelson, President; Elijah Cooper, Vice-Pres.; Dr. Alva C. Garrett, 2nd Vice-Pres.; Charles E. Pearl, Secretary; S. B. W. May, Treasurer; Eugene Johnson; Thaddeus J. Winston; Emery V. Crain; Paul R. Williams; Frederick M. Robbins; Dr. E. B. Liddell; Dr. H. Claude-Hudson; C. W. Brooks; Sim Johnson and B. F. Spikes. The purpose of the gathering was to acquaint prospective stockholders, with the aims and all data pertaining to the Unity Finance Company, as to its surety, its soundness; its fidelity and its management. Mr. Wallace Clark, well-known tax assessor and an expert in his line, will be manager of the oan Department. The Unity Finance Company is organized under the laws of the state of California, with an authorized Capital Stock of $200,000, divided into $100,000, 10% Cumulative Preferred Stock and $100,000 of Common Stock, both classes of stock having a par value of $10.00 per share. The Preferred Stock is preferred as to assets and earnings of the Company and participate equally with the Common Stock in all net earnings in excess of 10% required for Preferred dividend. Nor will the Unity Finance charge over the legal rate of interest but will loan money at the legal rate to all worthy borrowers who have no other banking connections. This loan is then paid back by the borrowers in ten monthly payments and as payments are made, this money is available to reloan. The Unity Finance Company is essentially co-operative, affording an opportunity for the man of moderate means to secure caccommodation not otherwise available, without making unnecessary sacrifices and offers investment opportunities for investment of funds where security and substantial dividends are desired. Dr. Nelson and after a few brief words d'in the development of the Company, he introduced Mr. Clark, the Loan Manager of the Company. Mr. Clark said in conclusion: "A Company of this kind is much needed by our group, for we have more difficulty to borrow money than any other group of people. This is a safe proposition and if, after a year's time we can show our ability, we will have a Savings Bank and then do the things that we should have done many years ago." Time would not permit all of the directors, to speak but enthusiasm was voiced by Hon. Frederick M. Roberts and Dr. Alva C. Garrott. Then the entire reception became a a school room; a black board was produced and Mr. Franke, the man who in organizing these loan companies all over the Country was formally introduced by Dr. Nelson and those assembled had explained to them thoroughly everything about the company and questions answered to their entire satisfaction. Mr. Donbue and Mr. Halley assisted Mr. Franke. The Unity Finance Company can loan money on everything of value, including diamonds, first morggages, and trust deeds. Each borrower must have three endorsers, who will be liable for the money, if the borrower does not pay the borrowed sum. Those present were: Mesdames A. Comon, Jas. P. Bratton; Arthur Thomas; Ida B. Jefferson; A. C. Richardson; Emma Lue Sayers; A. A. Hawkins; Grace Winston; M. W. Lewis; A. B. McClenahan; C. R. Ransom; E. B. Liddell; J. Robinson; Oswald Creuzot; J. R. Hudson; Eljah Cooper; C. A.

According to arrangement Mrs. Pipes met the train upon which she expected her husband, but he did not appear. Thinking that possibly something unforeseen had happened which delayed his coming she continued to meet trains for nearly two weeks, but up until this writing nothing has been seen of Pipes. The Travelers Aid Society, which has interested itself in trying to locate Pipes, speaks of Mrs. Pipes as being a well educated, and highly refined lady. Anyone knowing the present location of Mr. Pipes will greatly oblige Mrs. Pipes by communicating with her at 1389 E 15th street, this city. AMONG MUSICIANS By: JOHN A. GRAY Many of the disappointments that parents experience in the development of their children could be avoided if they would use preventive measures in time. For instance, ambitious parents will deprive themselves of many necessities and make untold sacrifices in order to give their children an education. Their greatest hope is to be able to see their blossom out into great men and women. Very often they are sadly disappointed when these same children, for whom they have suffered so long and --- LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 14, 1924 A woman in a striped dress stands in front of a man seated in a chair, who is pointing a gun at the woman. The woman is wearing a dark hat and a long skirt. The background is a room with a desk and a chair. have sacrificed so much, fail to use their knowledge and training in the proper manner. Is the child at fault or the parent? Without attempting to discuss this question we shall merely state history shows that the greatest men and women were those whose paths through life were strewn with obstacles. The child who has everything given to it is handicapped from the start. We mean that in the matter of education, a certain amount of sacrifice and labor on the part of the child should be required before certain favors are granted. It is much better for a young man or women to work all summer, in order to be able to go to school next winter, than it is for them to loaf all summer and expect father and mother to finance them next winter. It is much better for the child if all pleasure and good things are given on the condition that lessons are good. If the school report shows that little study has been done, then pleasure and gifts should be denied. If the music lessons are not properly practiced, then the same form of punishment should be administered. This training should start very early in life, as son as the little pines know enough to understand what is said to them. It is too late to start after they have developed bad habits and learned to disobey. No work child is too good nor too precious to work for his own advancement. And if the child is not willing to work for the lessons of any kind, why waste money on him. Give much help to the ambitious child, but little to one whose only desire in life seems to be for a good time. One great mistake / that nearly all parents make is the failure to keep abreast of the times themselves. To prove to the student that you are interested in his development, you must be able to converse intelligently on the subjects being studied. Show a lively interest in the pieces he is learning. Read about better music and go to ear the great artists. Broaden your own vision and appreciation and show a marked-preference for better things. In this way you will be creating atmosphere, and atmosphere is absolutely necessary in the development of the arts. If your home is a place of jazzy music, jazzy people and jazzy literature, you must not expect that the student will be encouraged to studyhigher things. Do not plant one kind of seed and expect to harvest another kind of crop. Many disappointments can be avoided if attention is given to the above suggestions. ORGANIZATION TO TO SUPPRESS USE OF NARCOTICS ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD AT Y. M. C. A. TUESDAY EVENING DR. H. D. PROWD CHOSEN TO HEAD THE ORGANIZATION The Call Meeting by Dr. Prowd at te Y. M. C. A. last Tuesday night, was great and unurplifting; success in the point of the large attendance, the speech delivered, and the interest manifested by all. Dr. Proud gave as the reason for calling the meeting, the increasing use of habit-forming Narcotics—Opium, Morphine, Cocaine and Heroin, and their deadly effects. He said that as the great drive by The International Narcotic Education Association, is now on, he went in person and solicited co-operation in forming a branch work with the parent body, against the common enemy, Captain Richmond Hobson having received the proposal favorably, at once promised to come and speak at a meeting with the view of entering upon the work jointly. Mr. Hobson was on hand about 8:40 o'clock and delivered a most telling address. From the outset till the close he held the large audience spellbound, and the people were most cordial and appreciative in the remarks that followed. Several took part in remarks, among whom were: Mr. Noah D. Thompson, Rev. J. D. Gordon, Mrs. C. A. Bass of the California Eagle, Rev. T. L. Griffith, Rev. W. R. Carter and others. After distribution of Narcotic ILterature and membership cards, an organization was formed to work as a branch in conjunction with the parent Association. Dr. Crowd was elected President; Prof. T. A. Groce, Secretary and M. Noah D. Groce, son, Treasurer. Several Dollars subscriptions were paid in and the meeting came to a close by singing the Dozology. An Advisory Board will be formed at the call of Dr. Crowd and the work will go forward under his direction. EUGENE EDGAR PAGE Eugene Edgar Page, he author of "Thinking," "Sacramento" and other unpublished compositions, ranging from the popular to the larger form of class compositions, balls from Sacramento and is a Native Son of California. A letter from Carl Bronison, Music Critic for the Los Angeles Herald to Mr. Page, reads: "I have looked over the works of Eugene Edgar Page and have found them uniformly original and with philosophical trend which really lends itself easily to his melodies, evincing much national ability." Mr. Page's popular song, "Thinking will be featured at one of the famous Grauman Theaters in the near future. Lincoln League Keeps Step With Progress "DEEDS NOT WORDS" This is not a bellated report of the meeting of the National Convention of the Lincoln League for we had not intended to make any attempt to write it up until our return to Los Angeles. However, we have been unavoidably detained for days over our schedule in the city of Chicago, and have decided to have The Eagle readers from this distance a full account of this memorable and history making occasion. The Lincoln League is all that it represents itself to be. And is the only line of political endeavor for the American Negro. Its shibboleth is politics and its accomplishments have been varied and many. Therefore, the meeting just concluded in this city, has but accentuated its effort to gain recognition and consideration in the body politic of the nation. THE CLANS GATHER We arrived in Chicago . Tuesday, February 12th. After being housed at the spacious Vincennes Hotel, we journeyed to the big Bethel Auditorium at which place the sessions of the League were to be held. Promptly at 12 o'clock President Roscoe Simons called the great gathering to order. It developed on roll call that representatives were present from Boston on the Atlantic coast to Los Angeles on the Pacific Coast, and from Florida on the South to the Canadian coast on the North. On the Manhattan we were with Chuck Matthews from Boston with Walter Chambers from New Orleans, and J. Ankley $2.00 THE YEAR NO. 16 Jose, from Madison, Wisconsin; these four encompassing the boundless limits of the activities of the Lincoln League. It was good to get those representatives together, it was a practical demonstration that this huge and loyal contingent of Americans was not to sit idly by and whine; but they were willing to bring their forces together and to demand the recognition due. BACK TUMBLE TO THE TALL TUMBERS TALL TIMBERS Of course any forward movement has its envious and malicious critics. The Lincoln League is no exception, but the showing made, as well as the outstanding accomplishments, shut up their mouths like a clam and chagia was their portion; for this session of the Lincoln League, Roll call also developed that men and women of all walks of life had come to join in with their presence and advance to help the old Ship of State on its way. PROMINENT PERSONS Mrs. John Fleming, of Cleveland, was one of the prominent figures of the convention and made her presence felt as well as Miss Jeanette Carter of Washington, D. C. Major John R. Reynolds, veritable statesman, was on hand at all sessions. Other prominent persons were: Charly Cottrell of Ohio, Jerry Blunt and Wm. John of Michigan, H. Henry of Penn, Milton Cholom of Washington, D. C., Ben Davis of Atlanta, H. A. Boyd of Nashville Tenn., J. L. Windham of Alabama, W. L. Starks of Texas, C. H. Caloway, Mo. W. G. Hueston of Garey, Indiana, Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, Perry Howard, Miss, Robert Church of Mephis, Walter Cohenn of Louisiana, J. Finley Wilson of Washington, D. C., and others too numerous to meption. CALIFORNIA RECOGNIZED The delegate from California came in for quite a prominent place in the organization, serving on Committee on Address to Country and on special Committee to wait on National Committee Adams. The representation from California was duly elected to succeed himself as National Committeeman from California. A two days session replete, with honest endeavor for recognition and to gain the lost prestige of the race in our body politic was a huge success, and the forces standing for real and lasting progress feel as never before that organization along all lines of effort is worth while. YOUNG WOMEN ORGANIZE W. W. G. At the residence of Mrs. Fletcher Smith on Sierra Bonita St., Pasadena, on last Friday afternoon, a group of young Misses gathered for the purpose of organizing a chapter of the World Wide Guild. They were very enthusiastic for a Young Women's Mission Society as was manifested as each accepted the voluntary pledge: "hereby promise to engage actively in all work of the Guild, to attend its meetings regularly if possible, to pray daily and definitely the world mission, to give a definite amount of the missionary apportionments of my church." The following officers were elected: President, Coralie Hasking; Vice-Pres. Ruth Hurle; Rec. Secy. Geneva Stocks; Cor. Secy. Enrique Windsore; Treasurer, French Burge; Sept. Mrs. J. Harrison; Advisor, Mrs. Zephyr Groner. The organization was persecuted by Mrs. E. O. Solomon, Director of Religious Education who is avenging public installation to be held at the Friendship Baptist Church of the city in the near future. The amount of money that will be raised by the campaign will be determined by the number of people who will be attending the rally. The campaign will also be supported by the donations made by the public. The campaign will be held on Sunday, June 15, 2016, at the Lincoln Center in New York City. ```markdown ``` A. C.

Griffith On several occasions the Negro youths have demonstrated their abilities to speak with propriety and precision. They have shown unusual skill and proficiency in delivering the orations of master orators. While we heartily approve of declaratory contests, we further concede that the measure of truth in public speaking rivalry is embraced only in original contributions. In the Los Angeles high schools there are students who have native power as orators. And it is our duty to introduce them to the public so that they may serve the community, support which is ultimately necessary if they are to expand their powers. The Belle Lettres Club of U. S. C. will take the initial step on April 10, 1924, to present a roup of talented high school students in an oratorical contest. The university of Southern California has donated the old college chapel for this event. Dr. R. 4. **9** of Kleinsmid, has contributed a silver loving cup which will be given to the high school whose contest erits first place. Dr. von Kleinsmid, president of the university, and the professors of public speakers as well, are quite enthusiastic over the success of the contest. Individual prizes will be given to contestants winning first and second place. We petition the unwavering support of the public is this initial effort of our series of annual oratorical contests. High scool students, organize your group! Elect a representative, come out and yell for your representative! you will be well paid for your efforts Time: 8:30 p. m. April 10th.

Dancing 'til 2 a.m. Noted Evangelist Delivers Stirring Sermon Approximately four thousand people of all nationalities, crowded Beth Eden Baptist Temple, of which Rev L. B. Brown is pastor, last Monday evening to hear Aimee Semple McPherson, the noted Evangelist and founder of Angelus Temple. Mrs. McPherson was welcomed by the Hon. Fred M. Roberts, Mrs. Anna Millan, Colored Worker in the Angelus Temple, formally introduced Mrs. McPherson. The text for the evening was the life of Peter, the Apostle, as a "Measuring Rod" and model for Christian Workers. Mrs. McPherson began her subject by singing, "Tis The Old Time Religion", "To My Father's House", and other spirited hymns, joined by the sweet voices of her own famous choir and the choir of Beth Eden Temple. The whole congregation was revived by the soul stirring message of the Evangelist. Money was given freely, to further the cause of Beth Eden's faithful few, nor would Mrs. McPherson accept any of the large collection that had been taken in the Angelus Temple way of placing an open Bible on the table and letting the people put their offering freely thereon. Young men and women responded to the Angelus Temple Workers' call and went up to be prayed for, in the good old fashion way. Mrs. McPherson and her Workers have unusually magnetic power and more than that they have, what so many modern Christians are afraid of—the Holy Ghost. Their faces are radiated with this divine spirit and are wholly sincers, Angelus Temple, it is said, was built by Faith, and by this Faith, Angelus Temple is becoming the greatest church of Christian 'Spirit in Los Angeles today. FOR HOMES CITY BR We Specialize in Re A little attention to your car will make it last much longer and give much better service. If you still drove your car fed and watered regularly, and a car needs just as regular treatment. On case your motor will not start, don't keep flopping the carburator. Prime the motor by putting gas in the petcocks. If this doesn't work, look for ignition trouble. Most every car owner or mechanic has grasped an oil can in a hurry to find that it refuses to work, the bottom failing to spring back when pressed inward. A sharp blow usually causes the bottom to return to its original position, but this means a loss of time and a waste of oil. A good plan is to insert spiral spring inside the can, pressing on the bottom. The can is of the solderless type the bottom may be heated and a drop of solder applied to hold the spring in position.—(Automobiles, Digest). In cold weather watch the radiator system. Use a good cleaning mixture to remove soil and mud. Also an antifreeze spirit should be used. Don't run the motor in a closed garage. The carbon moxide in exhaust gases is odorless, and a small percentage of it in the air is fatal. (Automobile Digest.) Dr. Turner Loses Car Dr. Turner met with a bit of misfortune last Saturday when some unknown person stole her automobile, a handsome Chandler, yearly a year old. The doctor was in her office on the upper floor of the Woods Building at 9th and Central when the car which she had left standing in the rear unlocked was taken. The car was recovered on Tuesday in San Bardino, and Dr. Turner will see that is securely locked before leaving it. Made by our own, displayed by our own. See them at the Fashion Show, April 3rd. L.

A good attendance. At 10 a.m. the Bible school was called to order, and a very fine lesson was enjoyed. At the 11 o'clock hour Bro. Williams brought to our attention the 13th chapter of Matt, and the 8th verse, using for his text the first clause: "But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit", and the theme that grew out of the text was that the good seed represented the kingdom of God. His subject brought to us two additions, Bro. and Sister C. Ashler; and the right hand of fellowship was extended to Sister S. Colburn. So we are looking forward for greater things next Lord's day. As usual Bible school at 10 a.m. and preaching at 11 a.m. You are welcome to worship with us at all of these services. Long, beach Boulevard and Redondo car line. I. J.

Stokes, Peerless Pupilpee, Matchless Orator, and for forty years the untrammeled leader of the race, comes to the pastorate of the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church, this city. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church in particular, and the Baptists in general, have a cause for great rebuilding. For in the coming of Dr. Stokes into our midst, we have a ripe scholar, an experienced leader in the practice and polity of the church such as in but few others. Dr. Stokes has been honored the National Baptist Convention. He is now the treasurer, and has been for a quarter of a century. Though a sexo-germanian, he is the youngest, as well as the noblest Roman of them all. Dr. Stokes was a life-long friend of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and was his private cuncilor in critical times, while building up the great Tuskegee Institute. Major Robert Russa Moton, head of Tuskegee, recognized the wisdom of Dr. Stokes, and had him elected to the board of trustees of the school. Dr. Stokes leaves one of the greatest churches in the South. Its membership is more than 5,000. Most of whom he added while in the pastorate or forty years. Doctor is said to be one of the few New York ministers who are wealthy. This is sitting it mildly. Much time has been spent on two separate occasions in Palestine, when he explored the land made sacred by the life and death of Jesus Christ. These trips have added veneration, which is akin to the prophets. Through spending most of his time in the South among the prejudiced whites, still that unconquerable spirit and indomitable will have never been awerved from the highest interest of the people whom he served and successfully led, and this has endured him to both races.

To acquire the habit of regular and continuous saving no better way than membership in a Builing-Loan and Savings Association has yet been devised. Such membership not only offers the greatest possible security for all savings, large or small, with the highest percenual return in interest, but it also gives the member a share in the welfare and up-building of the community in which he or she lives. Savings in a Builing-Loan Association are safeguarded by laws of the State of California. The books, practices and methods are under constant surveillance and examination by the State authorities—failures and losses are practically unknown. The Liberty Building-Loan Association makes it possible for you to build or buy your own home. It finances your proposition, taking as security a first mortgage on the premises. Modest monthly payments on principal and interest if faithfully made, generally clean off your indebtedness in about twelve years. You can shorten or lengthen this time suitable to your financial condition. You Are Invited to be Our Guest For An Hour OFFICERS AND WILBUR C. GORDON, M. D. President GEO. S. GRAN Second C. S.

Humboldt 1540 ALBERT BAUMANN EUGENE C. NELSON, M. D. FRANK A. HARVEY NORMAN O. HOUSTON Field Manager CITIZENS PROTECTIVE LEAGUE POLITICAL DIGEST CALVIN COOLIDGE FOR PRESIDENT Forecasting the results of the California primary, ten states in the East and middle west have already lined up solidly behind Calvin Coolidge in the selection of delegates to the National Republican convention to be held June 10th in Cleveland, according to information received at the local Coolidge headquarters yesterday. The information which came from the national headquarters of the Republican party in Chicago, declared that there has not been one delegate of the total 171 selected for any other candidate than the President. As the count now stands Kansas has pledged its 23 delegates for Calvin Coolidge; Virginia 17; Kentucky, 26; Minnesota, 27; Louisiana, 13; Philippe Islands 2; Spath, Carolina, 11; oww, 29; Colorado, 15; and New Hampshire, 11. It will require 555 votes to nominate Calvin Coolidge at Cleveland and from present indications it is expected that this number will respond for the silent strong men in the white house on the first roll call. There will be 1035 delegates in the convention, representing all of the forty-eight states and the five territories. In 1920 there were 984 delegates in the convention of which California was represented by 26. This state's delegation has increased to 29. A number of the eastern and middle western states have been conceded to the President and with these delegations added to those which are how plgged, the nomination of the President seems practically assured. California has a major part to play in the nomination of Calvin Coolidge newspapers of the East have declared repeatedly during the past few weeks. The reasons given for his declaration are that California is the only state in the union which have a native competing with the President and that this is the most influential state in the West. All of these papers have agreed that regardless of how Californiot votes at its primary on May 6th the result at Cleveland will be the same, for they have maintained that the President will secure votes enough in other states to insure his nomination. But these newspapers are saying that California is now confronted with the task of being "right or wrong" politically. Leaders of all political parties maintaining organizations in Los Angeles County have realized that it is imperative that this county be registered to the last man and that every voter go to the polls on May 6th. To this end representative men and women from all leading civic and commercial organizations have formed the 100 per cent Register and Vote League. All civic interests and organizations are represented on the committee of this body. A drive to secure a complete registration in this county will be started on March 11th and will continue to the 22nd insti During this drive ministers of the churches, officers of local organizations and all persons interested in the welfare of California will be working to secure registrations, according to the plans of the league. A statement has been issued by the league to the effect that the state law requires that every person who is eligible to vote must register before April 5th as all registrations become invalid on January first. In order to vote for a presidential candidate and the persons supporting him it is necessary to state party affiliation at the time of registration. Republican leaders of Los Angeles County realize that much of President Calvin Coolidge's success in this state will depend on the number of loyal Republicans who register and vote. They have called on all loyal workers of the party to assist in obtaining registrations. This work is being pushed forward through the many Coolidge clubs of the city and county. In issuing a call to all loyal Republicans in the state leaders of the party have placed emphasis on the policies of the President as expressed in his messages to the people. All of these policies have been endorsed by the leaders of this State. A the recent meeting of loyal Republicans in San Francisco a resolution setting forth these principles and the reasons for indicating them were set fort in the following terms: Resolution Enacted At San Francisco Coolidge Convention Werex, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, is a candidate for the Republican nomination to succeed himself; and Whereas, President Coolidge, as citizen, stateman and head of the Republican party in the nation, has demilitarized qualities of conventional ability, courage, statemanship, earnest devotion and a dedication to the highest conception of public duty; Whereas his private and public life particularly his public utterances and social acts as chief executive of the United States have earned him the nation and trust of the American Whereas, his unequivocal and unswerving determination that those responsible for betrayal of public trust shrill be vigorously and fearlessly prosecuted: his specific declarations in approval of a practical and extensive, tax reduction program, constitutional protection of the childhood of America, establishment of a minimum wage for women, full protection and care for the disabled veterans of the world war and previous wars, adequate and deserved relief for the American farmer, establishment of universal peace through participation by the United States in a world court of international justice, improvement of rail and freight methods, conservation of national resources, and other humanitarian and governmental policies establish him as appreemment statesman and leader of ig ideals and accomplishments and a sturdy champion of the basic principles to which the Republican party has dedicated its service: namely, the protection of all American industry and labor; now, therefore, be it M. J. M. B. HON. CALVIN COOLIDGE Resolved, that in compliance with section 3, presidential primary act, this state conference of the League of Coolidge clube of California, consisting of 100 delegates from all congress districts of California, and represent in more than 100 Coolidge Republican clubs throughout the state, hereby creates and resolves itself into a state campaign committee in support of the candidacy of Calvin Coolidge for President of the united States, and said state campaign committee hereby indicates the candidacy of Calvin Coolidge and indoles that group of candidates who are selected by this conference and convention as delegates to the national Republican convention and who file a preference for the candidacy of Calvin Coolidge. President Coolidge who are selected for at the presidential primary on May 6, 1924, on the Republican ticket, and that said state campaign committee shall file said indorsements with the secretary of state, and that all acts and indorsements of this state conference on the League of Coolidge Republican Clubs of California shall be the acts and indorsements of the state campaign committee created in support of Calvin Coolidge for President of the United States.

Mrs. Addie Garwood Estes, President California W.C.T.U., Berkeley. Calvin Coolidge of Vermont, President of the United States, has submitted his candidacy to the people of California. His direct appeal for support, of course to the Republican party in this State. Due to the tremendous Coolidge sentiment in California and the indications thereof in to formation of aggressive Coolidge for President organizations throughout the State, the President's active primary had been more or less accepted as a certainty. Yet the formal announcement that he would be a candidate in California, accompanied by publication of the names of those selected to manage his campaign in this State, has served to redouble activity in his behalf. The Coolidge Campaign Committee comprises one of the strongest alignments of Republican leaders in the political history of California. The men themselves, Marshall Hale and Percy Long of San Francisco, Frank F. Merriam of Long Beach, Ralph Arnold of Los Angeles and Mark L. Requa of Oakland, represent such a preponderance of Republican strength in California as to indicate that the group supporting Senator Hiram Johnson's aspirations is confined largely to his personal following. In fast this feature of the Sebator's campaign has been emphasized from POOR ORIGINAL time to, time in the publication of interviews and lists of names of those urging his candidacy, with but few exceptions those declaring in his favor being regarded as members of the organization that has become, through a decade of existence, a political machine dedicated more to obtaining patronage and appative public office than to serve the people and to the Republican party. The presence particularly of Hale, Long and Reque among the chosen Coolidge leaders is a striking indication of the hearty response to the Coolidge candidacy form the old Progressive element in this State. In the bitterness of disappointment at this defection from the Senator's camp, some of his managers and spokesmen have been rather free in charging "betrayal and "treason." But the men who helped to form the Progressive party and who little thought that Mr. Johnson would seek to make it the vehicle for his personal ambition, assert that the Senator and, not themselves must be charged with desertion. It is the announced intention of the Coolidge leaders to conduct a campaign FOR Mr. Coolidge rather than AGAINST Mr. Johnson. This is, of course, as it should be, but doubtless they at times will find themselves in the position of a man attempting to attend to his own business while engaged at the same time in the exasperating occupation of treating with a noisy customer willing to throw stones through the window or jangle the door bell for the mere purpose of calling attention to himself. Senator Johnson's campaign is thus far wholly negative. He has not advanced a single constructive proposal of his own, but has, according to his custom, attacked this and that and the other thing with great vehemence and energy. A glance at the newspaper headlines alluding to his activities during the last six weeks reveals the forlorn necessity of using and re-using either "attack" or "denounce" to convey a suggestion of his attitude. Senator Johnson's hopes in this State have received a series of severe reversals, but in gone respects the wide spread hostility to his candidacy by Negro citizens of California possesses exceptional significance, coming soon upon the legs of his successful fight for re-election to the Senate and representing as it does a repudiation by a group of voters that largely supported him in 1922. In the Senatorial campaign of 1922 Mr. Johnson succeeded in gaining the support of Negro citizens by promising active and aggressive support of antilynching legislation then before Congress. The following statement by more than 100 Negro voters of Los Angeles, among them prominent business men and women laywers, doctors and members of the clergy, speaks for itself. It is estimated conservatively that 40,000 Negro citizens are voters in California and that of this number more than 80 per cent will support the Republican President and his candidacy. "The members of the Republican Projective League and Citizens' Committee met tonight and formulated a Coolidge for President Club. We have pledged our support at the primary election to be held in May, 1924, and also at the final election in November, 1924. "We stand as a unit in denouncing the candidacy of Senator Hiram W. Johnson as a candidate for President. "We supported Senator Johnson in 1922 for United States Senator, but later found him unfit to his promises relative to supporting the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Senator Johnson remained in San Francisco until the bill was disposed of." Those signing the foregoing include: W. M. Qualls, Gwendolyn Gordon, Charles Oliver, E. Burton Ceruti, Frank A. Gordon, W.

It is doubtless pleasing to the Coolidge supporters that the first Republican Conference called for the purpose of nominating district candidates for delegates to the Republican National Convention unanimously selected Coolidge candidate and likewise unanimously indorsed the President's policies and candidacy. The conference was held by the seven State Assembly districts comprising the Ninth California Congressional District and the two Coolidge delegates approved, W. E. Evans of Glendale and A. D. Rowland of Pasadena, who are well known in Southern California, as leaders in civic affairs and in party activities. Mr. Evans, by the way, a former prominent Progressive, is one of those having argument with Senator Johnson as to whether the Senator deserted the Progressive movement or the Progressive movement deserted the Senator.

Frank Butler, the pioneer barber, closed the doors of his capital Hotel Barber Shop Saturday night forever. The chairs of his shop have held most of the notable and near great in California.

Church Monday night by the members of the Quintilian Club, an organization composed of High School and college students, and is under the direction of Mrs. Irene Hinds and Mrs. Sadle Sime. The production was so well presented that praise was heard on every hand. The leading characters all played their parts with marked ability and special mention of any single participant could hardly be made without seeming lack of appreciation of the splendid performance of others. The entire cast acquitted themselves with credit. The staging, the colorful surroundings, the beautiful flowers in the first and second scenes in the yard of Westover Mansion, all combined in the achievements of a great success. It may with propriety, however be here stated that much credit is due Mrs. Hinds and Mrs. Sims in rehearsing the students for the past two months and their alertness and quick response enabled the participants to follow in order the trend of the production without the slightest delay which added to the success attained. Another feature which was most pleasing and highly entertaining was the art played by Percy Bost's orchestra. Solutions between the acts were rendered by the students' credit to any professional aggression. The cast of characters were as follows: Squire Westover, father, Bert Guess Miss Salina Westover, daughter, Miss Marceline Gibson; Miss Caroline Westover, the aunt, Miss Maria Orr; Miss Tillie Sloan, village belle, Miss Dorothy Hinds; Mr. Payne, city fellow, Mr. Percy Clarke; Mr. Seth Marlow, the hero, Mr. Ben Watkins; Mr. Denton, villian, Mr. Lindsay Watkins; Mr. Cyrus Bodkins, farmer, Mr. Willie Burns; Em. the maid, Miss Mamie Pilkerton; Robert, office boy, Gene Hillenbarger.

Again our attention has been called to grave miscarriage of justice on the part of our Civil Service Commission. or justice on the part of our UNIT Service Committee. In obedience to the call for more men in the City Police Department, three educated, physically fit Colored men went into the examination, passed, and were later notified to report for duty to Captain Graham, as there were some two hundred and eighty-five vacancies in the department. When they reported, Captain Graham told them to return the next day. They did so, and at this time were informed that there was nothing open right then, but advised them to return to the Civil Service office and fill out a blank requesting that their names be retained on the legible list until some vacancy occurred. This they did, and were about to leave the Commissioners' office when the girl who waited on them called them back and informed them that they had omitted something. They asked what it was and were informed that they would have to stipulate on the blank, "IF ANY VACANCIES OCCURRED IN THE COLORED RANKS." Now, what we want to know is this—Is the Police Department segregated? If not, why were men way down below Messrs. Norris, Potter and Smith on the list, put to work and these men still waiting? If Chief Vollmer stands for the square deal that he has promised all men who qualify—we want to know if he is aware of the deal that the Civil Service is putting over in the case of these men and if not, why not?

M. Johnson who was charged with murdering one Harry Harris, brought in a verdict of Manslaughter with a recommendation for lienency. This has been a long drawn out cas. It was practically proven in the very beginning of the trial that Johnson killed in self defense, but solely because of his color, the prosecution represented by a Mr. Castello made a desperate fight to convict Johnson of first degree murder. Atty. Ceruti assisted by Atty. Joseph Ford, made a valient fight for Johnson, whom we believe, under the just ruling of Judge Parnell, will be given probation. Wherever the pulpit is usurped by a formalist, then is the worshipper defrauded and disconsolate. We shrink as soon as the prayers begin, which do not uplift, but smite and offend us. But the true preacher can be known by this, that he deals out to the people his life—life passed through the fire of thought. No man is asahmed of himself; he skulks and sneaks through the world, to be tolerated, to be pitied, and scarcely in a thousand years does any man dare to be wise and good, and so draw after him the tears and blessings of his kind. We are confronted with two kinds of error which is the cause of our unbelief and our getting away from the principles of Christianity? And what greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship all things go to decay. Genius leaves the temple, literature becomes frivolous, science is cold, the eye of youth is not lighted by the hope of other worlds and age is without honor. It is alright to be an upholder of the law to the extent of seeing that the guilty pay for his crimes, but there should also be the same amount of energy and protection given the innocent who are being charged with crime and who are convicted because they cannot prove themselves innocent. When the District Attorney learns to serve both these classes, he will have fulfilled the high office the people ellected him to fill. Our age and history for three thousand years, has not been the history of kindness but of selfishness. Our distrust is very expensive. The money we spend for courts and jails is very ill laid out. We make by distrust the thief, and bunglar, and incendiary, and by our court and jail we keep him so. An acceptance of the sentiment of love throughout Christendom for a season would bring the felon and the outcast to our side in tears with the devotion of his faculties to our services. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` By: Chauncey Townsend The Preacher In Politics. The question has been raised as to whether or not the Christian minister should take part in politics. We hope no one will think that we are speaking in any affected contradiction if we say that it is essentially a breach of ethics for anyone connected with evangelical work to identify himself in any way with that science of government. A few illustrations from the careers of the prophets Isaiah and Micah, together with other explanatory reasons will adequately support us in this view; and we may parenthetically remark that even if we were not conscious of the fact that politics in our day is almost incredibly contaminated and demoralized, our ethical code, our high sense of honor, and our sense for the fitness of everything would admirably point out the stark insanity of the affirmative view. The minister, of course, should not be constrained or hampered or forced to live by any set of and dried rules. The complexities of human life: the necessity for change, expansion of his interests, and the constant demands made upon him to enlighten as well as to admonish are all so sufficiently well known to us that it would obviously be a departure from rational thinking to exclaim: "A preacher's office is to preach; that and nothing more." We here in America boast of having a comparatively gratifying share of intellectual freedom. We rejoice in the advancement of free thought and liberal education. We give thousands of dollars yearly to the further progress of those pursuits which if humanity were deprived of would be miserable indeed. We buy Mr. Upton Sinclair's books by the hundred of thousands, and every additional reading of them intensifies our contempt and hatred for every petty plan which centers around a chosen few; but everyone must know that the ethics involved in the ministers participation in present-day politics is about as reproachful as Mr. Coolidge's would be if he should play in a professional way the financial market of Wall Street. Now, in the case of Isaiah and Micah we have a most interesting study in two of our greatest Biblical prophets. Both were well informed; both were actuated by high principles in many relationships of life; but before we can discover that gross disparity which makes each unique we must carefully separate Isaiah the prophet from Isaiah the professional politician. Quite unsatisfied as he was in clearing the Israelites of their iniquity, he preceded further, dabbled in the politics of his day, denounced its methods, and repeatedly warned his people against coalition with the people of Assyria. In this Isaiah was alike "an extraordinary ferocious bull in an excessively delicate and fragile china shop." His auditors knew no way to escape his iconoclastic criticism; but no thoughtful student of the Bible would avow that, from the indications which have come to us, Isaiah did in any sense exert as truly an irresistible influence as did Micah. Commentators from Leonardt to John Henry Jowett are all agreed that his personal power was scattered and dissipated. True it is that he was a more voluminous writer than Micah; but this can be attributed to his incorrigible habit of going out of the already extended boundaries' of his appointed work. Isaiah was therefore the H. G. Wells of his day. Like Mr. Wells, he wrote practically on everything according to his own whims. But he was in no wise more influential than Micah than Mr. Wells is more influential than George Bernard Shaw. Mere bulk may be a big and impressive thing, but, unless it is charged with passion or rammed with thought, it fails to animate and falls back dead, as good seeds thrown on fallow ground. Micah had but few messages to deliver to his people, and these he delivered well. Isaiah on the other hand always came forward with almost an infinite variety of information to broadcast wherever he could get a hearing. His energy was consequently dissipated in having too many aims; and future commentators on the Bible are certain to taek him from that high place in which he has been unthinkingly put, and further show that he lacked efficiency in not having one, definite, unalterable aim. This, it should be borne in mind, is the second cogent reason which shows how dangerous the preacher in politics is likely to be. While he plays politics, how can he expect to enlarge and strengthen the many departments of his church? How is he going to keep ahead of those already too well-informed members of his church who captiously dissect his every word? How does he expect to keep the confidence of those devout, superannuated old ladies who are always wont to watch his every move? Singleness of aim gives the mind unity of action, develops concentration, develops recollective ability, increases the fertility of one's ideas, develops will power, and gives a man that greatest of assets—quiet self-confidence. We all know the preacher who is best described as an officious, figety, meddlesome, and cranky old bore, who fills his sermons with muek-raking and mud-slinging in an attempt to gain interest through antagonism; but if you would like to find out just how near he approaches the ideal, just ask that most captious and critical of persons the college student what he thinks about him. You may confidently expect to hear some of the most unfortunate words in the English language. All of these things very justly hasten and increase the vehemence of "THE OLD CRY."

He To those who know of Dr. Marden, who have eagerly sought companionship with him through his books his death is somewhat appaling. There are few in America as fitted by instinct and by experience to inspire, encourage, and coach suffering mankind as was Dr. Marden. He was possessed with a kind of dramatic insight, and through it he alleviated the mental burdens of countless numbers. A mere scanning of the topics discussed by him indicates that he was always fighting those insidious monsters who demoralize character; and while he sought to show how to obtain the best of the material things of life, he was nevertheless strongly inclined toward the spiritual side. A disciple of optimism, a scholar of vast learning, our loss in Dr. Marden is irreparable; but we who believed in him feel instinctively that this mere physical existence which separates us from him now is not final, for we can emulate him in spirit and thereby live as he lived—live abundantly. AS YOU SEE IT When men and women and themselves hedged in by adverse conditions, and when those conditions are likely to encumber their children, there comes a desire to give expression to what constitutes those conditions and what may be done to ameliorate the same. Sometimes men come to me and ask what should they do about Africa, or what should be their attitude towards men who have stood out as leaders, or what action on their part would help make conditions better. Because of the fact that many of our people have not had the chance to know these tings I venture this article. Most of the Negroes in the United States of America are still in the southern states, where, because of the present and perpetuated attitude of the native white people, it is difficult to give any but an elastic and general advice; where the white people are unusually hateful and selfish, for a Negro leader to do other, than advise the people to flee to a section of the country where men are more liberal, shows us that leader should be depreciated. et us so bear ourselves that no one shall excel us in patience and forbearance. it is very desirable that each man understand the position of the K. K. K. in this country. The Klan is an unrighteous and an un-American organization, and it is no vouched for by the best people in any section of the country. So seek the advice of the better white people where you live. You will find worthy, white people in the South, as well as in the North. It is a mistake to feel that virtue is a complete monopoly of any one section of the country or of any set of people. Public opinion approves a man's conduct when he fights a lawless mob. One should fight then hard but individually, avoiding organization which your enemies could skillfully interpret as rebellion against the government, and bring the forces of the government upon you. A committee chosen from our most dependable citizens should investigate, and report on cases where conditions seem to warrant, we know there are some criminals on our race. There are some criminals in even the white race which has had more protection and sheltering in a way, from the conditions which pull us down. In come localities the poor Negroes don't receive very much consideration. They simply grow up as best they may. So it is not strange to find that they withstand the snarches and pitfalls of life no better than the white people. What we as is that we be taken or considered as we are. That righteousness be done in judgment, that the innocent way be protected, and the guilty get his just punishment when duly convicted, according to law. Neither the white people of the North, nora the Negroes have the opportunity of righting that wrong as has the white southern man or woman of fair and noble spirit. Nevertheless, for obvious reasons, such committee should contain members from each group. Problems, you know, should be tackled with fairness and patience if we would get along with their solution. Sometimes, it takes a forceful jar to make people sit up and start thinking. For example, a few years ago, I stopped in a little town three miles north of Pollard, Alabama, and worked for a while at a brick yard, and saw mill plant. A stout Negro man, hat in hand, stood before the boss of the plant thanking him in very clear and distinct language. I heard him say that he hand'd done anything at all. Then the boss said, "I know you hadn't, Tom, and I intended doing just what I told those men". I inquired and found out that about six years before, those men were farmers, living beside each other. Back of them, farther in the pines, lived other white farmers who made up their minds to have a little fun when they went to town on Saturday. They decided to take this man "Tom", and lynch him in town: As they neared the town, their numebr increased until there were about fifteen when they got to the young man's farm, who lived next to Tom (Tom and his neighbor were at the time plowing and within speaking distance). They told him what was desired, and asked him to join them. Tom's neighbor knew that Tmo had been home for days, so he asked what he had done; to which they answered, "Oh, just say that he did anything to a woman, we don't care what, anything will do". The young man added, "Well, just wait until I put up my horse". He quickly hitched his horse and from his house got two revolvers, and was back before they finished trying Tom. "Men," he said, "this man hasn't committed any crime, and you know it as well as I do. So if you harm him, som so you will get shot." They believed him and lef. And I remember how when I was here, he people felt there were other men also who helped keep the community a fit place to live. How may we know who is not influenced by a noble example. I fear that the inherited ideas of the South, which allow and sustain treatment of Negroes, unsuspected and alimist, unbelievable, will be perpetrated. Certainly, as long as those conditions predominate, the South will remain an undesirable place for Negroes to live. It is to be hoped that the Negroes of this country find some plan whereby they, may work with the powers which govern for the moral and industrial development of Africa. An attitude of mutual helpfulness can be maintained and results mutually beneficial should obtain. What we undertake ought to make it possible for the Africans to develop their industries so as to get their products before the world to best advantage. The fact that such a man as Marcus Garvey could come into the country, mislead and swindle so large a number of Negro men and women, shows twiings; first, it shrugs that a large number of Negroes are still ignorant, for no noe but an ignorant person could have anything to do with those hapless delusions, and it also shows that those of us who are not ignorant are not making sufficient effort to give the less intelligent a leadership which could be rated intelligent, far sighted and unselfish. Suppose such worthy men as we know, should in each city, band themselves together in a council, whree one could seek personall honor or profit, but all feel that it were an honor to forward the interest of their people, and suppose each minister and public servant were required to work with such organizations. Then when such quacks as Mr. Garvey should come around to fleece the people, every man would know just what to tell them and your answer to them would be uniform and sufficient. Tell them their propositions are interesting, but that we are not supposed to know whether it is advisable to take up such things. But there is a committee appointed by the Council which would be glad to consider their propositions, and determine what disposition should be made of them. With such organizations, our leaders would be able to give better advice about things: economic, political, or otherwise. Of course, there are some people who can not think out these things and they should not be denied the united action those more fortunate to give them proper leadership. Do the ministers live up to their possibilities along these lines? Creeds should inspire to self help, even as they will all lead to God. Then, how absurd are these quarrels and divisions among the members of the church. They only serve to keep up a camouflage which obscures the real issues. Even our worship of the Deity is dependent upon giving attention to our economic and intellectual wellbeing. Far be it from us to find fault with the people of other creeds, for as the life of Christ shows that He was divinely appointed so may have other men been likewise appointed. Holm incarnation is not inconsistent with natural birth. It does not make any difference with which denomination we may work, but it does make a difference what ideas of the Deity lead us to do. From the dawn of history men and women have despised others because they had an inferior idea of the Deity. So today, we are despised in some places because of the failure of some of our churches to carry on with intelligence. Is there not something that may be done to assist these ministers and their churches to an intelligent conception of worship? Our people coinl put less into churches, I think, and more into some endeavor which would give employment to some of the people, the church of the old fashioned realism, the old fashioned suspersion and mourning are not going to take the place of clear cut ideas of moral and spiritual life with the thoughtful. Without wounding any special denomination, we can lift them all above things at which men really find substance for laughter? Slavery is a system by which they get what other people work for without giving them equal value for service rendered. The rent problem of today is fast becoming to be a form of slavery, which could and should be controlled by intelligent co-operation. As a people, we must learn to trown on and to muzzle those men and those organizations which promise much while they can deliver but little. And at the same time, we must encourage worthy men and possible enterprises. What about these men and women who would segregate parks, beaches, or schools for their people. See o it that they are throttled at once. All public places belong to all of the people and the person is right who recently wrote that should the city grant special rights to Negroes for a special beach, other groups would then have a right to ask for similar legislation. Do not ask special favors. Ask a man's chance only. Your effort should be to teach our fellowmen to enter and enjoy, and breed in them the things which go to make good taste, in appreciating the rights of others. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. We must watch the ignorance within the race, as well as the ennies who are not in the race. Expose them with out bitterness. Public opinion will do the rest. What, of all this talk about social equality? All, cultured people know tat they have social equality, in fact the elements which go to make up social equality are natural and inable. Some of the conditions which go to make social equality are equality in body and mind, in love of home, ```markdown ``` On Sunday Afternoon, March 9th, the piano pupils of Elmer C.

The railroads are no doubt making every effort’ to reduce rrade crossing dangers and are active. ly assisting in educational campaigns while he public generally is advocat- ing the elimination of sach crossings. The latter of course is the most satis: factory to all, bot unfortunately con: ditions and the cost involved do not permit its application immediately. Yet, the number of accidents would appear to justify a better provision than mere signs at those crossings. They would also serve to make the educational ‘campaign more effective.
