May Company, for which company Mr. Beeks is the attorney. In his new quarters with the assistance of a most capable stenographer and office girl Attorney Beeks promises to obtain the very best results in the future as in the past for his many clients and friends. The progress of this young Attorney has been most gratifying, as the fact that he is a member of the legal staff of the California Eagle, The Citizens Home and Investment Company, The Commercial Council, The Peerless Auto Association and The Liberty Building and on association, will testify. Attorney Beeks has one desire and aim in all of his transactions and that is to be honest and sincere. Junior N. A. A. C. P. Meeting Postponed To March 30th ...The inclement weather list Sunday prevented from coming a large majority of the members of the Junior N. A. A. C. P.; and the meeting was postponed to next Sunday, March 30th at three o'clock at the Independent Church, 18th and Paloma Streets. The regular program, however, was rendered, including the monthly review of current topics, a vocal solo rendered by Thomas Griffith, accompanied by his brother, Lloyd, and individual contributions from the membership. It is especially urged that all on Sunday make every available effort to attend next Sunday's meeting. The constitution will be adopted, an interesting program will be rendered and appointment of various members to the several squadratures will be completed. The many friends and admirers of Mr. Owen A. Troy are loath to see him leave Los Angeles at this time, nevertheless many hearts have thanked Almighty God for this splendid young man who first saw the light of day in Los Angeles where his parents have resided for a quarter century. Mr. Troy received his early academic education at the San Fernando Academy from which he was graduated in the year 1918 at which time he received a certificate from the Academic Department and one from the Music Department. From the San Fernando Academy Mr. Troy went to the Pacific Union College at Helena and received the A. B. degree from that reputable institution in 1922. Since which time he has starred with the Jubilee Quartet as violinist, at which he is very efficient. Some of the leading Music critics, among whom is Prof. Carl Bronson, have pronounced Mr. Troy one of the best violin players in Southern California. To our mind Mr. Troy plays with greater feeling than the average. But not yet has this young man attained his promised place among the violinists for his steady application with such teachers as Oskar Seeling and Leon Goldwasser guarantees for him a place among the best interpreters and executors of today. Aside from his activities with the Jubileal Quartet as one of its founders and chief promoters, Mr. Troy is perhaps the youngest minister in the city having served for more than a year as minister in charge of the E36th Street Seventh Day Adventist Church, where he preached weekly to an overflow audience and organized the choral club of fifty voices, which because of its capacity for rendering harmonious music claimed the admiration and adoration of church goers of this city. Called To Oakland Young Troy's ability as a preacher and teacher; in spite of his extreme modesty, has reached out to the ends of his state, and into the middle west Oakland has learned that there is a young man in their midst whose Christian character speaks louder than his words and have invited him to come in and take charge of the Adventist Church and do work for the Master; in that vineyard such as he has done in Los Angeles. And those who know this young man and his splendid parens, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Troy are wishing this young apostle who has had but a few years actual, but effective experience, God's speed on his journey and new field of effort in the North.

Marshall Swish! Boom! Bah!! Bachelor Girls! Bachelor Girls! Rah! Rah! Rah! Who are we? The Bachelor Girls Club was organized in October, 1922, by Mrs. Theresa Willis Sivers.

We now boast of eighteen active members. Any unmarried young lady seventeen years or over is eligible for membership, but—when a member takes upon herself marriage responsibilities, her-membership ceases!! Certainly!! Any one desiring further information or details please phone Angeles 4815 or 290371. This club meets every Monday at 6:30, at the various members' homes. U. S. C. NOTES Among the most interesting lectures delivered to the students of U. S. C., are those concerning our national and international relationships. Last Tuesday, we listened to two powerful addresses on the "League of Nations" and "The World Court". I am unable to think of any plans that are more utopian in their original nature than these two. The advance of culture and intellectual training will doubtless teach us that the bodies of men are not purposely made for targets. Nations should be friendly with nations. Anyone can fight. Cool, sober,ological reasoning will eventually quiet the most violent misunderstanding. Historical events teach us that the only solution of the problem of war is compromise. The World Court is a scholarly attempt to compromise our international relationships. We cannot afford to sit idly by and let this opportunity pass by our doors. How can we boast of being a Christian Nation when we refuse to sponsor a plan which means Universal Peace. America, Japan, and China, are demonstrating very little interest in this important plan. Is it because the people are opposed to it; or, are the law-makers sleeping on the job? Public sentiment would wisely express an affirmative viewpoint on this issue. While it is commonly believed that we should launch out into a system of world brotherhood, it is further true that our first step is in a national brotherhood. Americans need to be fraternized. Distrustishment, lynching, mob-violence, and lawlessness, braptly inflicted upon the American Negro, must be done away with before America is morally eligible to become a partner of any institution striving to establish international justice. The man who lights his wife is not fit to instruct the community on the ethical codes of family life. The government that tolerates lynching and is intolerable to an anti-lynching bill, is not prepared to unite with nations on a common level of justice. If we are admonished, we do say that we are not to approach our own activity, it is our primary duty to dissolve those damnable institutions which are jeopardizing and curring this country; that this government may be given a new impetus and a newer seal to crush imperiousness and establish humility, to remove injustice, and thereby contribute to the possibility of a successful World Friendship. If you want, to hear the Sunnyland Jazz play, come to Arion Hall, Easter Monday Nite. Las Vegas Allerges. Mr. Chauncey Townsend addressed the members of the Belles Lattes Club last Friday on "The Essentials of Public Speaking". His speech embraced the study of words, the study of word derivation, the value of etymological analysis, and abounded in sentential suggestions on how to speak and write competently. Mr. Townsend demonstrated unusual skill in attracting the personal contact of his audience. His forceful logic and diction, exemplified the insuperable power of a adholar. "Words without ideas are mere sound waves," he said, "and it is astounding to note how so many of our so-called educated people use the English Language in a loose manner. ...After giving a concrete illustration of a gageryic appeal to Miss Fay Jackson, Mr. Townsend concluded his address by reading "The Road Away from Revolution" by Woodrow Wilson, to instruct us in the art of phrase-making. IN THE MUSIC WORLD By John A. Gray The giving of advice is seldom ever appreciated or heeded by folks who need it, however valuable it may be. We are pointing out a few fundamentals, that should be observed by all who wish to be successful in their chosen lines of endeavor. These hints are based upon observation and experience, and we hope that they may be of some help to those who need them. In the first place; persons who are not musicians, and who are promoting musical affairs, should ask the advice of capable musicians before attempting to produce. Much time, energy and money can be saved in this manner. Even if the ideas of those asked are not followed, it will give a wider viewpoint on the subject and may possibly suggest new ideas to the promoters. Managing an artist is a great business in itself and requires much experience, and business ability. Some of the things to be considered are: How much drawing power has my artist? This question will decide where he should be presented, how the affair should be advertised, who shall assist and how much money should be invested in the affair. No artist is worth more to the manager than he can bring to the box office. Now that the era of church-building is upon us, it will behoove the builders to consult two principal persons before making this important move. These persons are the musician and the undertaker. The musician will suggest the arrangement of choir, platform, etc., which will permit of easy readjustment for concerts, recitals, plays, etc., which nearly churches present. This will rent for outside halls and auditoriums, thereby insuring more profit from these entertainments. The undertaker will suggest the arrangement of seats at the front, and of allees, which will permit easy and convenient placement of the claskets, and allow room for the flowers, and for persons who wish to view the body for the last time. Ambitious young people who wish to be heard in recital, or strangers who wish to establish themselves in the community, will do well to ask some of the old established persons for advice. This advice can be sifted and blended into a definite procedure. Greater success will naturally be the result. We build upon the foundation laid by others and profit by the mistakes that others have made. Only in this way can we save ourselves from a long period of costly experimenting and possible failure.

Buff Correspondent for The Associated Negro Press Monrovia, Liberia, March 36th— President F. B. D. King of the Republic of Liberia, has denied the application of the delegates sent here recently from the U. N. I. A for a conference on the subject of the colonization of Liberia by members of the U. N. I. A. The president stated, "I am a man of great interest in the terview is of an unofficial character and the discussions to take place are of an informal nature and as between private individuals". The president informed your-correspondent that he is keeping his mind on the obligations of Liberia to the Great Powers and looking particularly to the maintenance of the independence of the Republic. (Special Correspondence) A mammoth audience in the great Abyssinian Baptist Church here Thursday night, Charles Satchell, Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., the famous colored writer and spokesman, declared that: The sectional war between Negroes must be discontinued for the common good. This fundamental fact must be recognized that we are all members of the same race, victims of the same unjust, vicious system, and desirous of the same results. A new and virile leadership must be developed to give articulate expression to the yearnings, yea the longings of the black man in the North and in the South. There is sweetness in righteous conflict and triumph untrammed in moral victory. Young Morris was wildly cheered by the hundreds who jammed their way into the vast New York Church where his father pastored for several years. The orator is now en route to Chicago. He is scheduled to deliver addresses in Asbury Park, Atlantic City, Philadelphia; Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis and the Windy City. A tour of California has just been arranged by a group of white citizens. DEMONSTRATING CHSRISTIANITY Rev. J. M. Brown, D. D., the pastor of Pasadena A. M. E. Church, who has done a wonderful work in the Southern district, for Methodism, is not only a great pastor, but a great missionary. He has found time to visit some of the small churches and his members and have raised money to aid them. Rev. J. M. Brown will visit the second A. M. E. Church. Sunday evening.

"Silick" Stocks started the game off by ringing a basket from center. "Kirk" Turner followed with a second basket from center. "AI" Brownlee soon found the basket and sent three in a in row before Los Angeles could stop him. Stocks rang in 10 points, Brownlee 8, Turner 2. The score at the end of the halt was 20 to 2 in favor of Pasadena. The second half Roland went in in Turner's place. "Eurb" Irving, Pasadena's center played a wonderful game.

The Samuel is not dead, but alive? "The Matt. 39. 30 Early in His ministry Jesus removed from Nazareth where He was reared and made He headquarters at Capernaum, one of the important cities lying along the sea of Galilee. From Capernaum He went about all the cities of Jewry preaching and healing. On one occasion He returned to headquarters and home. Capernaum came therefore to be called His own city. See Matt. 4:12-25 etc. Sorrow In The Home At one time as He returned to Capernaum a certain ruler of the synagogue there, named Jaires, had a little daughter very sick, so sick that she died. Hearing that Jesus, the great healing prophet, was in the city, he hunted Him up and besought Him that he would be saved. He told the threw says that He acknowledged that his child was already dead by the time he had reached the Master. So when later some ons from the house met them and said "Trouble not the Master; your daughter is dead", it was evidently no more than he expected. But Jesus reassured him with the words, "Fear not, only believe" Laughed To Scorn Going into the house, He found the relatives and friends bewailing the girl as dead. He spoke thus cheerfully to them: "Why make ye this ado and weep; the damsel is not dead. She's asleep." The words sounded foolish. Had the child not ceased to breathe? Had they not seen her make her last gasp and be still? Had not her pulse ceased to boat? Were not her hands and feet cold? Were not her eyes glazed and sightless? Had not the physician pronounced her dead? Had they not seen persons like this before? And now comes this bare-brained preacher saying, as if with candid assurance, as if with dead. There were filled with contempt for such ignorant presumption. "They laughed Him to coor." Jesus No Liar But the Son of God was truth itself in flesh. He would not deceive. He was the Son of God, and could not lie. He said she was not dead, and despite the physical fact that she was dead, to Him she was not dead. He said she was asleep. Fo he knew beyond the knowledge of men. She was, to the Master, asleep he used similar words to He disciples of Lazareth later on, two years later, yet they did not understand Him. "Our friend Lazareth sleepeped," said He: "but I go that I, may awake him." It was on this occasion that He made that famous statement, misapplied by many as referring to physical death, which He did not mean at all. "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, the he were dead, yet shall he live again. And whoseover that liveth and believeth in Me shall never die." This will be literally true when He comes again. O that men understood. Then should we be delivered from fanatical creeds that divide Christianity and dishonor God. The God of The Living Jesus tried to make the matter plain later when He referred to God as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, "God is not the God of the dead, but of the Living, for unto Him" Matt. 23:11, 32. Luke 20:33. Brought To Light Jesus could speak with wisdom and authority on these matters, for He abolish death and brought life and immortality to light thru the gospel Notice, will you, that the statements we quote do just that. They abolish death and make it but sleep. And they bring life and immortality to light What if they will not see? The matter has been brought to light and mails perfectly plain. Faith sees. Presumption stumps. Not Soul Sleeping Nor does what Jesus said reflect the soul as If the soul must leave the body, and then go and go into the grave with the body and go to Sleep. Paul said "I am in a strait betwixt two having a desire to depart and be with Christ". Phil. I. Now no part of Christ is in the grave. Again He saith "Waist we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; but willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. If it, 5:19. Those who teach that the soul sleeps in the grave say that hell means the grave. That will never do. Speak again; O Light of the World! Give us light on this. Luke 12:5—"But I forewarn ye whom ye shall fear: Fear him which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell." But mind you He has just told us not to fear them that kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. Hell Not The Grave When Jesus said that He did not mean the grave. Sheol and Hades and Gechemna never did mean the tomb where the body is buried: they are, sometimes figuratively translated grave. Never the lomb or sepulchre. God never did cast a man into the grave. But He casts them into hell where the worm dizzed not and the fire is not quench. The sepulchre where the body is placed in the Hebrew queber queburah. In the Greek nuemecia, nuemecia and taphap. Again I say that sheol and hades do not mean the tomb or sephuric where the body is buried, why believe a lie? Not Dead But how beautiful the text. She is not dead, but sleepest. Think of that, you who have been called to look up on the still form of a precious child for whom you would gladly suffer death itself. Not dead, but sleepest. In the eyes of the world dead. In the eyes of God tremendously alive. Asleep in Jesus as to bodily existence. As to spiritual existence, as alive to God as Lazurus in Abraham's bosom. Luke 16. As Moses on the mount of transgression, as Elijah who never died. Absent from the body, present with the Lord, who hath abolished death and brought life and immortality to life. This is the faith that Jesus offers the world who believe in Him. "I am come" said He. "that he might have life and might have it more abundantly. Not dead but sleepest. Cor. Pico and Paloma The public has not forgotten the Anniversary Fair and Bazaar given last March by our church. Never in the history of Los Angeles have more magnificent and gorgeous decorations been displayed for a like occasion. This year promises to eclipse last year's brilliance. Each captain is marshalling their forces and the various booths will be a thing of beauty. Sunday, March 30th will be opening day with great services throughout the day. The Fair will continue each night with a change of program each evening. Visiting ministers and their Choirs will join with us in our celebration. If you fail to attend this Fair you will miss something worth seeing and enjoying. Rev. Shaw preached a very forceful sermon on last Sunday from Act 3.6—"Silver and Gold Have I None, but such as I have, Give I Thee," etc. Visit this church—Attend the Fair and Bazaar. Good music by Professor Bynum's choir. Last Sunday was a day we shall not forget soon. All who attended our services went away, well pleased with what they had seen and heard. Rev. Williams spoke at both the morning and evening services. Both sermons of the Acting Pastor were followed by remarks of the Pastor-elect, Rev. A. J. Stokes. At the afternoon service, which was under the auspices of the Baptist Minister's Union, Rev. H. D. Prowd.pastor Bethel Baptist Church, preached. Rev. Stokes in his remarks after the sermon, stated that the sermon preached by Dr. Prowd was one of the best sermons he had ever heard. Next Sunday morning, March 30, at 11 o'clock, Dr. Stokes will preach his first sermon. At the afternoon service next Sunday Rev R. N. Holt, Pastor St. Paul Baptist Church and Moderator Western Baptist Asso. will preach. Next Sunday will be a big day at Zion. The Choir will be at its best. All welcome. REV. ELDRIDGE GOES TO SEATTLE Rev. J. A. H. Eldridge, popular pastor of te Trinity Baptist Church, left the city this week for Seattle. Wash., where he will hold a ten weeks' revival for Dr. W. D. Carter, pastor of the leading Baptist Church of that city. Rev. Eldridge is one of the most promising young preachers of this community. He is always supplied with a message filled with information and brim full of inspiration and no doubt the people of Seattle will be benefitted by his visit. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Furlong Tract Rev. A. T. Hines, Pastor Our services on last Sunday in spite of the weather were well attended. We were pleased to have Dr. Carter. Rev. Butler and Rev. Featherston worship with us. The sermon preached by Rev. Butler in the morning service was quite uplifting. This being the close of our first week's revival at Mt. Olive, we feel immensely indebted to God for the out pour of His spirit. Thus, far there has been around fifteen souls saved and others healed. Rev. Hines seems to be at his best, and completely lost in the spirit. The door of opportunity is now open and the waters are surely troubled then why not tonight? One of the most remarkable healings took place last Thursday night when a heart broken mother asked Rev. Harris to pray for her son who was very sick and was to be taken to the hospital, so he aid in his prayer he asked God that the boy might testify that at this certain time which was about $15 that he felt a change in his body. On how many hours have the grudge the boy was all night and she asked if the doctor came and his asked who you but I said him away I and feeling fine and didn't need him, so he told to him, son what time did you feel this change remembering the words of the God man's prayer. He said it was between 9 and 9:30. How can you halt now between two opinions? SYL STEWART ISSUES STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS OF CARN OLTLTON DEFENSE FUND Tia Juana, B.C., Mexico.

C., March 25.—Samuel Nance, former Howard University student, has written a letter to the State, leading daily newspaper, in which he takes occasion to criticize the sermon of the Rev. F. J. Grimke, in which the latter took a shot at the white man's religion which condones the prejudice existing throughout America. Rev. Grimke is one of the trustees of Howard. Nance, in his letter, asserts that Grimke does not represent the true Howard spirit, nor the feeling of sensible Negroes anywhere, and demands that the university officials, for the sake of the school, ask for the trustees' resignation.

Call and see Mr. Alexander or his corps of courteous representatives at the Y. W. C. A. building on East 12th street, near Paloma. PRODUCE IS THE SLOGAN After a swing around the country and viewing the efforts of our group with a critical eye, we are more convinced than ever before that our Nation-wide slogan should be that of production. We must qualify as producers from the soil of the earth in all sections and all climes; and also producers along every other line of effort. The day is not far distant when all producers will set the price upon their own products and when that day comes to pass, those who qualify will indeed be the ones who will enjoy prosperity in all of its fulness. On our journey in the East, we addressed many gatherings, and taking advantage of the fact that most all whom we met looked with longing eyes to the Pacific Coast, we called attention to the marvelous opportunities which are at hand in this section along the line of production, and dwelt upon the wonderful success of the Japanese whose place has been wrested from him by the enactment of the alien land law. We suggested, if filled by members of our group, it would be a solution to the great problem and at the same time raise our group up to a commanding position in the commercial world not only on the Pacific Coast, but of the Nation as well. So lest we forget, keep in mind the slogan of "PRODUCTION." OH! FOR AN ISSUE. Abraham Lincoln in trying a case in court discovered that he had no foundation in fact or law. He made a notation to follow in his argument to the jury, which read "skin the defendant." That seems to be the plight of our distinguished United States Senator, Hiram Johnson. With no issues, he rants about the country abusing President Coolidge and his own party. What a difference four years ago when he had an issue—The League of Nations. We frankly admit that when our senior Senator has a real issue, he can go some! But, unfortunately for him in this campaign, he is a statesman without an issue. The harpies now sit up and criticize, while Roscoe Simmons, heading the Lincoln League, kept busy and actually did the real work which brought about the confirmation of Walter Cohen. Let Roscoe Simmons and the Lincoln League have full credit, for they are certainly entitled to it. HE GAVE BREAD--HE GETS STONE IN TURN. Unjust criticism has been heaped upon the head of the well-known and generous hearted Sylvester Steward of Tia Juana, for no other reason than the fact that he sacrificed and toiled to lend succor and relief to one of his friends and acquaintances in the person of Chester Carlton, who killed a Mexican and was apt to face the firing.squad across the border in expiation of the crime. Steward, when his friend was incarcerated, immediately got busy in his behalf. The one requisite to save Chester was to procure money and quite a deal of it for those Mexican officials across the border. With will and enthusiasm unusual, Steward visited various cities and towns and aroused the friends and acquaintances of this young man to the gravity of the situation. He spent hundreds of dollars of his own money; and as a result, the amount was raised as indicated by a detailed statement in another column of this paper. The devious routes pursued toward propaganda to soothe the wrath of the Mexican people before a trial of the case would out-do fiction in its strangeness! One would think gratitude would be exuberant in the premises, especially on the part of the defended in the case, but not so it seems, for he has made his escape and we are told that he is most vindictive toward Stewart; and he caused to be broadcast a story which would even reopen the integrity of his benefactor. Now, take it from us. Syl. Steward may have his short message and from his own choice, but we can vouch for his driving humanity and in matters of this kind is as square as a rose; the world either give to this object of his benefaction the amount which was contributed by the public than to one dose of info for his own use. We believe the statement made by Steward in every de Editorial independence is a rock on which many newspaper institutions have been ominously shattered. It is chiefly because of this, carrying with it its tacit but ominous suggestion, that so many editors in the past fifteen years have lessened the output of fiery retorts and scorching criticism, three-fourths of the big metropolitan dailies are conservative, conservative in that they are afraid to breast the tide of popular opinion, even when that tide is set in the wrong direction. But we of this paper are not going to abide by certain conventions established by cowards who were afraid to speak. We are going to tell about it all. We are going to take it up where the iconoclasts of the nineteenth century left off; and, in sportsmanlike spirit, we are going to preach the gospel of righteousness until every sham and every artifice shrivels up, in the cold, clear air of our elucidations! NEGRO THEATRICALS. Negro theatricals in the last half century have undergone strange and revolutionary changes. No more is the swash-buckling, slap-stick, black-face Sambo stuff in any sense as popular as it was during the close of the nineteenth century. The innovation now is that form of Russian drama headed by Miss Evelyn Preer. It was that which set a-flutter more gossip and comment in theatrical circles than New York has seen since Brander Matthews staged "Apology" starring the petite and pretty Miss Tell. The Negro, it was said, was biologically ill-fitted to play drama. But a few liberal critics attacked it on the grounds that no canon of constructive dramatic criticism can circumscribe within any particular racial group any especial form of art. It was indicated that Miss Preer, on the contrary, showed marked ability and consummate mastery of stage fundamentals and technique; and that her pantomime was comparable to that of Mme. Nazimova. The whole thing as we see it calls to mind the established truth that, whenever Negroes affect the pocketbooks of white men, whether they do it through their amusements, their labor, their literary talent or any of their economic services, they may always expect the yellow press to rattle and cackle and squeel like a ship-load of monkeys in a storm! But we should forget this damnable opposition, take ourselves in hand, and assiduously develop our latent powers. The moment we do this, WE ARE HEADED FOR THE HEIGHTS! JUSTICE WITH SYMPATHY. Mrs. Leila Rogers, standing on the very brink of motherhood, was acquitted of a charge of the murder of her husband in the criminal courts of Los Angeles last Tuesday. Astute readers may well learn something from this. Here was a woman whose life had been made miserable by neglect and by abuse. Swaared by an elemental passion, she committed the act which brought her before the bar of justice. Six mothers and six fathers sat in judgment upon her. In seventeen minutes, they returned a verdict which set her free. But what of those whose lot it is to pay? Is the judgment which we pronounce upon many made puppets of fate always characterized, as in this, by sympathy? Do we not show a tendency unavowed but clearly apparent to unkindly hasten the processes of the law without singling out the deeper causes and motives which actuate men and women to commit crime? "Every character in the drama of life," you may reply, "is a free moral agent, and is therefore answerable for everything he does." But are we not conscious of the fact that in a civilization like ours many men and women of fine character and indomitable powers of will have been driven to unpardonable sins, solely because that by degree and degree they were seduced from reason and rational conduct? "The world has been made safe for democracy. There need not now be any fear that any such mad design as that of the ignorant and insolent Hohenzollerns may prevail against it." But the world has not been made safe for teeming hundreds who through abject poverty and misery are ever and anon forced to commit crime. Justice without sympathy is not just. We are intricately interdependent and interrelated with each other. We must seek therefore to discover wherein we can safely and sanely allow those relations to be marked, not merely by a shallow, swaggering sentimentality, but by sympathy which emanates from true Christ-like altruism. JOHNSON THE "REFORMER." In opening his campaign at Omaha last Tuesday, Hiram Johnson is reported as saying "If President Coolidge wanted to clean up the Teapot Dome situation, he could do it in 48 hours." On its very face the remark is ridiculously absurd! It is not in the power of any man, however abilited, to purge this government of its iniquity and corruption in so amazingly a short time. In its deeper ramifications and remote relations, it will probably take years to completely clear up the scandalous bribery and cunning chicane involved in the oil investigation. At best, it is merely one of the many statements characteristic of Senator Johnson whenever he finds himself losing out with people whose confidence he has betrayed, whose interests he has hastily forgotten, whose influence he has recklessly exploited! He has seen his doom in returns from Statewide Presidential primaries throughout many parts of the United States; and now he makes a frantic attempt to put President Coolidge in an unfavorable light. He thinks himself the most utterly rebellious and incorrigible personage in the United States Senate; but he is very much deceived. He is only rebellious when he is making a campaign speech; as soon as he has been elected to office, he invariably calms down, and assumes an air of sphinx-like silence on all questions vital to the Negro. If it would not be too hassardous an act, he would easily grave responsibility which goes with the office. For "it is the discovery of what they cannot do, and ought not to attempt, that transforms reformers into salesmen; and great should be the joy of the world over every reformer who comes to himself." Torn by the haunting persuasion of lost opportunities, exposed by his opponents of villany and insincerity, he may receive some support from a few "hat in hand darkies," but as far as being backed by the majority of Negro voters, he is doomed to defeat! "A SCHOLAR WHO RULED THE WHITE HOUSE "The Messenger" magazine facetiously remarks that "Woodrow Wilson was a scholar who RULED the White House." The capitalization is ours, made so to bring out the effect of so sage a remark. Indeed it was principally through Mr. Wilson's classical attainments that he exerted so truly an irresistible influence over the American people in this country. Of course his statement carries with it the silent implication that he was courageous and deeply conscientious; but the most salient trait about him was his matchless scholarship. We loved Harding for his dignified conservatism, and, although we knew of his limitations, we gave him considerable backing in many things which he proposed. We love Lincoln for his simplicity, Washington for his prophetic insight, Roosevelt for his gallantry, and sympathize deeply with Taft because his election to the Presidency was as premature as he was at that time incapable of capably filling the office. And while they are all highly esteemed for their great virtues, Wilson was chiefly "a scholar who RULED the White House." He was essentially a literary star. A whole philosophy may be found embodied in some of his phrases. No one can pass over such striking things as "the imperative mandates of conscience;" and "watchful waiting;" and "peace without victory" and "too proud to fight" without stopping in the middle of the sentence, carefully analyzing it, and endeavoring to perceive its meaningful suggestion. British biographers may ungrudgingly applaud Lloyd George for his great driving power, Asquith for his sagacity, Beaconsfield for his shrewdness, Bonar Law for his genuine talent in parliamentary debate, and Stanley Baldwin for his courage in trying to carry on in the face of opposition; but, amusingly enough, posterity will know of Woodrow Wilson as "a scholar who RULED the White House." ON THE STARK STUPIDITY OF "MR. JACK MOONFIXER." "Mr. Jack Moonfixer" strikingly illustrates the well known truth that ignorance professes disgust for complexities which ignorance *cannot understand.* It is because of his inability to write effectively and in conformity to established canons of composition that he assiduously attacks rhetoric and stupidly avers that in the use of it there is never an element of thought. This militant old fossil, in his haste to use his whip on others, has failed to embrace opportunities which would have given him first-rate knowledge on many subjects of universal interest, opportunities which would have made of him a discerning thinker and put him alongside with others who are really contributing something to journalistic thought; and now, humiliated by his own stupidity, he tries his hand at poking jibes at others who have multiplied their talents and are using them as best they can for some specific purpose. In his recent tilt with the Belles Lettres Club, he frequently scoffed at their use of the writings of others in their indignant reply to him; and foolishly remarked that as long as they quoted from the works of others, just so long would he remain convinced that they could not think themselves. Now, every thoughtful and well read person knows that it is an unmistakable demonstration in literary craftmanship to be able to make an opposite and striking reference to those literary works which have stood the test of time. But "Jack Moonfixer" is so refreshingly stupid that he cannot see that they quoted from the works of others, not because they were unable to accurately express their own thought, BUT BECAUSE THEIR QUOTING CARRIED WITH IT THE AUTHORITY OF THE AUTHOR'S NAME! Eighteen months is not a long time in the life of an individual; but, in eighteen months, "Jack Moonfixer," if he starts now, can almost completely atone for his gross ignorance by taking an inventory of his ideas and by setting himself to the task of improving his mind, for no self-respecting person can continue to maintain his self-respect as long as he remains impervious to every helpful suggestion or to opportunities which open the way for him to mental efficiency and high, honorable standing in the community. No one is implacably bent upon assassinating him. He is one of the race: He has hardships just as we all have; and we believe that, if we must criticize a man for his shortcomings, we should do it with the purpose of helping him constantly in mind! But if he does not take this suggestion, turn it carefully over in his mind, and seek to improve himself by it, we are going to openly defy him for the impudent and obdurate idiot that he is! AS YOU SEE IT By: BOYD RHETTA a resolution, a copy of which was to be sent to H. L. Remmel, Republican National Committeeman for Arkansas, stating that the failure to elect any colored men to membership on the state committee and to give representation to colored Republicans on the delegation to the National Convention "will be detrimental to the best interest of the Republican party throughout the Nation." The attention of the convention was then called to the failure of Ohio Republicans to put a colored man on the slate of Coolidge delegates to the National Convention by E. T. Banks of Dayton, Ohio. The convention authorized a telegram o be sent to Hoke Donithe, the Coolidge campaign manager in Ohio. It was as follows: "We, the Lincoln League of America, in convention assembled, consolations of the increase in the delegated representation of Ohio in the Republican National Convention, urge the propriety of plating a colored member on the Ohio delegation a large"; t. 117. "The aid, of No Springs, Art. advanced, the aid, of that colored Republicans in Arkansas, that colored Americans." The convention then adjourned. After the report of the *peduclatic committee*, President Simmons began his address to the convention. Seated on the plattform were John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican National Committee, the guest of honor; Modell McCormick, United States Senator. (The Cottontail) from Illinois; Frank P. Lilacock, secretary to Mr. Adams; Mrs. Medill McCormick, and Miss Edward. He has charge of the Coolidge campaign work among women in the Chicago headquarter, as well as the most prominent colored member of the committee. In this setting, Roscoe C. Simmons, as he delivered his address, was at his best. "This convention," he said, "represents the golden heart of the American Negro, who believes in himself, in his country and his countrymen." He paid a glowing tribute to Major John R. Lynch, honorary president of the Lincoln League of America and reviewed the incidents leading up to his election as temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention in 1884, and in a flight of oratory he exclaimed that "when I think John R. Lynch is growing old, I remember John R. Lynch is stifh young." At the conclusion he "called the roll of the convention," the names of delegates of distinction and old-of their achievements. John T. Adams, the guest of honor was then presented. Mr. Adams' remarks were confined to Abraham Lincoln and an appeal "to aspire to that starling Republicanism hat was laid down for us so clearly by the man we remember now."

Commercial Truck Builders Oppose Gooding Bill Freight traffic managers of the automotive industry, members of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce following a meeting in Detroit have appealed to Senator James Couzens, member of to Senate committee on Interstate Commerce, to aid an effort to defeat the Gooding Bill that proposes more rigid application of that section of the Interstate Commerce Act known as the "long and short-haul clause." Disputes as to making, under certain conditions, lower rates to more distant points are now subject to investigation and decision by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Gooding bill would make this more difficult. The general feeling among commercial interests is that competition among carriers would be restrained by the proposed new law. Among the leading car, and truck makers represented at the Detroit meeting of protest were: Brück, Caddiac, Chevrolet, Clexland, Dodge, Durant, Fint, Hudson, International Harvester, Lincoln, Maxwell, Mason Motor Truck, Oakland, Oldsmobile, Packard, Pierce Arrow, Studebaker, White and General Motors Traffic Association.

(From the Associated Negro Press) EDITOR'S NOTE—The "riot run mad" of Senatorial "investigations" which have been dumped into the public consciousness for the past few months, bewildering the lonest heart of stingers, the seeds of discontent, has scandalized, more than spent its force. Much of that scandal, in the opinion of thoughtful people, has been far beneath the dignity of the great United States Senate. Political bias and personal grudge have greatly hampered whatever of truth or wrong that might be uncovered. The Associated Negro Press has heretofore urged calmness, and a getting back to first principles. It seems timely, therefore, in this fluid state of uncertainty, to give to the public through the press the full text of the address delivered by Dr. Francis J. Grimke, pastor of the famous Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, Washington, some time since, but which has created national sensation because of its boldness. The Congress of the United States has discussed it extensively on several occasions, because of Dr. Grimke's relation with Howard, University. It is a masterpiece of diction and reasoning.
