Stanford University Hides Behind "Color" Line

Displaying the same attitude that David Starr Jardian displays in his many articles on race topics, Stanford University sanctioned the attitude of one of its boxers when he refused to fight against Leon Whitaker of the Southern Branch of the University of California last Saturday night. Stanford is supposedly the school of the aristocracy of this state. Its "blue blooded" student body is touted to be made up of gentlemen and scholars, yet the only reason that was advanced for the resusal to meet Whitaker was the very flimsy excuse of "principle."
This "principle" dared not assert itself when Black Americans shed their blood that these "blue bloods" might live in the ease of their narrow prejudices and flimsy excuses. It was silent until a few years after the World War. It is not openly present at the Southern Branch, where Whitaker, Jefferson Brown, Louis Rosser, and a handful more of Black American students are attempting to take nourishment from some of the crumbs of learning that fall their way. At the last moment, when Leon was all stripped to battle, he was informed that Standford would forrest the bout rather than meet him, all because of his color. The "principle" was so late in making its appearance that Whitaker fought an exhibition in order to appear.
We question this principle and call it cowardice. These Standford students are largely Californians, while some of Whitaker's teammates are from Texas and other parts of the South. They are men with whom he has fought in practice and in strenuous competition, yet no color has been mentioned and the men have fought free from such slums excuses. We believe that the reason why Stanford refused to meet Whitaker was partly his record this season. In the meet against California Institute of Technology, the best engineering school in California, Whitaker knocked out Wells of Cal-Ted in the second round; against California at Berkeley, Whitaker fought Captain Gow to the extent that the crowd "booed" the final decision against him so much that the yell-leader asked them not to forget good sportsmanship, this crowd was practically all white; at Berkeley Leon fought better than he had down here, yet he was still on the short end of the decision. In the Inter-Class Tourney Whitaker won the writer-weight championship, of the university, defending Charles Cahoon in the final view of the fact that all of these men were
white, we call the attitude of Stanford's man rank cowardice.
We cannot force anyone to fight one of us. If that person is afraid, but we can surely consider his excuse for not doing so. It will be interesting to look forward to Stanford's reasons for not fighting and to te attitude of the University of California in regards to the matter.
Our Black American students face a world of opposition, such that new opportunities and many unfair decisions are theirs, yet it is to be ridiculed that principle prevents their competition in a so-called manly sport wherein men like Joe Gans was the idol of thousands of whites.
Elks Make Marvelous Showing
OCCASION ANNUAL MEMORIAL SERVICE
Seven hundred members of the Antler species, known far and near as the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, more definitely known as Golden West Lodge No. 86 of Los Angeles, accompanied by Hiswatha Temple No. 91, turned out on last Sunday all resplendent in their very handsome regalia for the purpose of holding memorial service honoring their departed brethren and sisters. Those who witnessed the procession as well as the exercises at Hamilton M. E. Church, marvelled at the tremendous and magnificent showing of this very splendid body of men and women who have made a new record on these Western shores for fraternal progress.
The Procession
The line of march was formed at Odd fellows Hall, corner of Eighth and Wall streets, and was headed by the Collosal Elks' Band of 45 pieces, closely followed by the Crack Drill Team of Golden West Lodge, Captain J. P. Bratton, in command.
This team in itself is a high compliment to the order and made a most impressive showing in their spotlessly white uniform and most splendid bearing.
Following the drill team came the officers and members in double file open order with their unique fizz and walking canes, followed by the splendid drum corps.
Following in carriages came the officers and members of the Hiawatha Temple, with Exalted Ruler E. Burton Ceruti and Daughter Ruler, Mrs. Edna V. Elgin, bringing up the rear.
The procession moved East on 8th street to Central avenue, South on Central to 18th and East to Naomi to the Hamilton M. E. Church, and in reverse order the officers leading, they marched into the big and auditorium of this church. All along the line of march the order received a tremendous ovation by the people who lined the streets, and at the church standing room was at a premium.
The following program was rendered.

A Scene in Various gowns Modeled by Madame Cox for the Monster Fashion Show displayed at Normandie Hall, Tuesday Evening
Spring, that elusive, bithesome, happy time of the eye was completely demonstrated at Normandie Tuesday evening by Madame Cox, modiste and milliner of distinction display of hats and gowns, from her own unique shop on Central avenue.
Delightful frocks for little tots, all tucked and ruffled, with dainty bloomers to match, worn with exquisite small hats, shaped on regular grown-up styles.
Hats from $5.00 up to $35.00 of all descriptions were worn by attractive models. There were sport hats of the chic combination of black and white as presented by Mrs. R. O. Venerable to the Ultra Smart Cherry blossom red hat worn with a fancy sport dress of bean mound crepe by charming little Mary Ragland.
Laura Bruce was utterly bewitching in a simple little mid-day costume of dandelion yellow and clam shell green with the enugest of little bonnets, with streamers to match.
A delinity little gown of pastel shades was worn by the attractive and popular Miss Oohana Conrad.
And there were special pattern hats displayed by Mrs. Sara Wilson, in an elaborate white afternoon gown, beaded to the 9th degree and made on the long, clinging Hues of advanced Spring style; Mrs. W. H. Roan, in an afternoon model of Tokio pink, with picture hat to match; Mrs. R. O. Venerable in burnt peacock hat and gown of cream lace over shell pink, of advanced summer style; Mrs. B. Dickey in elaborate and expensive hat of related hues, worn with an imported afternoon gown of periwinkle blue and variegated hand made flowers and kilt. Mrs. Williams in a charming gown of white and peach, with afternoon kilt to match.
SOUL
The evening silhouette gown worn by Miss Frances Henderson, student of Madame Cox, was made of imported silver cloth and cherry blossom pink chiffon, without sleeves and an unusual long bodice of the more advanced summer styles, with the slight tendency toward the shorter skirts this season.
Dr. Vada Somerville was very attractive in a crystal beaded old rose evening gown, made on he long, straight lines, with flowing chiffon side drapes that reached to the floor. With this exquisite gown, she wore a Cox hat to match.
The theatrical gown worn by Mrs. Lottie Boles-Anderson was the outstanding gown of the Fashion Show. It was a very ultra and formal evening gown of imported violet and gold satin, beltless and sleeveless and very near backless, draped model, with a train. Mrs. Boles carried a violet feather fan and gold slippers and bandeau.
After the Fashion Show the enthrallastic audience enjoyed dancing for the rest of the evening. The proceeds of the entertainment were for the N. A. A. C. P.
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE AFFAR
Mme Cox is a finished modiste having studied in some of the best institutions in New York and Chicago, also having taught applied arts and science in some of the leading institutions in the South and West, her knowledge is complete. She is one of Los Angeles latest and very best additions and her presence in this community should be highly appreciated. Tuesday evening was but a small test of Madam Cox's ability to turn hats and gowns common to exclusive New York and Paris Fashion sections. Wen we have such as Madame Cox coming to us we should be loud in our praise and great fl our encouragement to the extent that she may head one of the biggest and most exclusive Fashion Shoes of Los Angeles is the very new future.
The Gospel Of Southern California Baptist Achievements
The Gospel Of Southern California Baptist Achievements
Editor of the Eagle.
Permit me through the columns of your widely circulated journal to reute some statements made by Baptist men and women who are recently come to Los Angeles.
made by visiting Baptists have cast without that knowledge which makes a statement stick. These statements made by te visiting Baptists have cast a reflection upon the Baptist pioneers in the far West, and the Baptists who come here are inoculated with these erroneous statements, and they cast the same stigma upon us, to such an extent that being the oldest pastor, I feel that the duty devolves upon me to speak out in self defense and in defense of the pioneer Baptists of California.
The charge made by the visiting Baptists of the East is that the Baptists of California are doing nothing as compared with the Baptists of the East, or even as compared with the other denominations of the West.
I confess that the Baptists have no statistics of their accomplishments, neither have they felt inclined to blow their own trumpets, in view of the great work yet to be done. Now to be fair to the Baptists of Los Angeles, let me recount a few things they are doing, and have done in the past.
The oldest undertaking establishment is A. J. Roberts and Sons, members of the Tabernacle Baptist Church and the next to be established was Smith and Williams. Mr. Smith, who passed away a few weeks ago was a Baptist and a member of Second Baptist Church. Mr. Smith was the founder. The next royal establishment of kind was Conner and Johnson. Johnson is a leading member of Second Baptist Church. I leave you to judge whether they have played well their part in this line.
We take the newspapers of the city. First The Eagle, the oldest publication of Negroes in this city was founded by Mr. Nemo, a member of Second Baptist Church; after his death, the courageous and dauntless C. A. Spear-Bass took charge. She is one of the leadig Baptists of the State; she is also one of the most important women of the State, and she is doing her part so well, that she doesn't need me to say these things of her. I am simply glad to state the facts. In the political life of the city, in the religious life, in the business life, and even in the social life, she is indispensable. She is a Baptist, and her right hand helper who looks after her linetype machine is Mr. John Prowd, a spendid young man and a son of Dr. H. D. Prowd, all Baptists.
The New Age next, a very prosperous journal is in the hands of Mr. F. M. Roberts, a young man reared in the Tabernacle Baptist Church. How do the Baptists fare in the matter of these two publications?
The only Old Folks Home built in these parts was bought and is now in operation and is the property of the Western Baptist Association at Watts, Calif.
The oldest and leading contractors and builders of Los Angeles, are the Biodget Brothers. These brothers are pioneers in this work, tho many other fine workmen have come since. The Biodgets are Baptists.
The only man of color ever elected to the Assembly of California is Mr. F. M. Roberts, a Baptist.
The only candy manufacturer of color in these parts is Rev. A. P. Ramsey, a Baptist preacher.
The only ice cream manufacturer for a long time was a Baptist minister, Rev. E. P. Marshall, of Boyle Heights.
The only Business College this side of the Rockies founded and run by Negroes is Biggest Business College, Mr. Birmingham is a Baptist.

BRUTAL MURDER
NO.51
Mrs. Josie Anderson was brutally murdered Wednesday evening, April 9 at 1411 E. 23rd street between the hours or 7:00 and 8:00 p. m. by L. J. Ward.
It was learned that Mrs. Anderson told Ward, several days ago, that she was going back to her husband as she was tired of living the life that she had been living for the past few months. It was also learned that Ward had been out of work for several weeks. It is not known whether the murder was committed out of jealousy after Mrs. Anderson's statement that she intended to return to her husband or to Ward's desire to get possession of her valuables owing to financial difficulties.
In searching the house, Mrs. Anderson's trunk was found very much disordered and some of her valuables missing including two diamond rings. One of the rings had been pawned, the pawn ticket being found in the house.
Numerous bruises about the head of Mrs. Anderson indicated that Ward had struck her several times before the shooting occurred. Four shots were evidently fired as there were two bullet wounds in the back of the head, one in left shoulder and one in the right arm.
The owner of the house, who occupied a rear room, having just come home, heard the shots and a woman's voice cry, "Oh, Lord." A moment later a man's voice exclaimed "I'm gone". The landlady was unable to gain entrance, the door being locked, so at once notified the police.
After the shooting Ward was traced to 12th and Central, where he got a taxi to his brother in law's home on 35th and Denker streets. He at once confessed to the family that he had killed Mrs. Anderson and threatened to kill himself. His brother in law did not believe Ward's story so Ward suggested that he prove it by taking him to the scene of the murder. Ward and his brother in law walked down to Jefferson and Vermont, the brother-in-law then returning home. Ward got a taxi which he dismissed at 23rd and Hooper, a block from the house of the murder. No further trace of him has been found.
It appears that Ward already has a police record.
Mr. A. J. Anderson, husband of the deceased, on hearing of the murder the following morning, immediately went to the house to investigate the matter and took the body in charge.
Mrs. Anderson was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, came to Los Angeles in November 1921 on account of another woman, Lillian Klines Henry, who later gave birth to a child by Mr. Anderson.
It seemed that Mrs. Anderson was still very fond of her husband and had become quite despondent over the affair. She had expressed her desire to return to her husband many times, but owing to her knowledge of the entire (Continued on page 10)
The leading Masons and the ones who developed this great order in these parts and whose names are bywords in every Masonic gathering in the State are T. A. Harris and Wylie Kimbrough. They are leading members of Tabernacle Baptist Church. The only hospital ever built in these parts was built by Dr. Diggs and Whittaker, who are Baptists. Among the oldest and leading physicians of this city are Dr. Taylor and Dr. Wilbur Gordon, Baptists.
When it comes to churches we have more than all of the other denominations together, the we confess that we have lagged in church building; others have gone ahead of us, have built and made good by so doing, but there is some advantage in the fact that we are yet to build; and two of the great Baptist Churches are now preparing to build the latest and most modern structures.
We have more members and more church property than any other denomination, some of which is in the heart of prominent Los Angeles.

Angeles in recent years, was offered
at.the Fifst A. M. B. Carchk by Prof
Elmer-C. Bartlett, director and organ
ist of distinction, when he presented
the children of-that chureh and theft
friends list ‘Tuesday evening. From
the excellent results. of this unique
concert, Prof. Bartlett's tame will go
forth.as a master in that line of work,
for having achieved the impossible in
the training children’s yolces.
Little tats from six yéars of age and
tipwards, ‘responded ‘to. the time of
Prot. 'e baton, just as though
they hed doing concert work all
théir lived, instead of a few months,
Thetr ‘was even superior to the
Gir’s Chorus, ‘which was saying 8
great deal, Both choruses are to sing
at the Hollywood Bowl, Synday after

PAST RECORD.CONDEMNS MUNICIPAL
+ » The Municipal Bureau of Power'and Light
has not dealt fairly with the people of Los An-
geles. In 1910 that body .asked the voters to
adopt measures whereby the sum of $3,500,000
might be raised by bond i , promising to pay
the interest and sur charges pa the bonds out of
earnings. This they fail 92, lo. ‘And in the
~same-year taxes i 1$2,275,812.50... In
1914 Brother bond issue’ 2 500,000 was voted
onthe promise that the amount would eomplete
the work and earnings would take care’of inter-
est and bond carrying aes -It failed to do
so and taxes increased, this time to $3,054,248.-
75. Tn,1919 an additional bond ‘issue of $13,-
500,00@;on the same old pledges with the same
result.” Taxes increased aL, 37,375. The fore-
going atnounts represent a sum of <n
voted by the-people of our City for the develop-
ment and extension of power and light plants.

Power'and Light Bureau to furnish sati i
accounts for moneys already raised... Such fai
ures-are impugned to a lack of ability to handle
public funds, willful neglect of official duty, on
betrayal of imposed confidence. Any- of thé
above reasons would justify a refusal on part of
the people to vote for the present borid issues.
THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE FURTHER REASONS
‘WHY THE BOND SHOULD NOT CARRY
ee ee wm ee ee ee
of the Board of Public Service: Commissioners added reasons
can be adduced for Pelecting te bonds: It’ is'im virtue the
roposed contract between the City of Los Angeles and the
Eoathern California Edison Company and-the Pacific Light and
Power Corporation. This five-page document is the official
recommendation of the Committee of the Whole of the Board
Of Publi¢ Service Commissioners and is signed by those able-
senuee’. ‘John W. Kemp, E. F. Scattergood and W. B.
jatthews.
‘Acting up on the advice and wisdom of the three men just
mentioned the people of Los Angeles adopted the recommen-
dation for the proposed bond issues. Tt was due to the con-
fidence reposed, the belief in the ability of the-men, the hon-
ety of purpose and uprightness of character that they were
able to put the program over. The three bond issues of 1910,
1914 and 1919 were approved by a very substantial vote.
It was on recommendation from.that Committee that the
City of Los Angeles negotiate with the three power companies
operating in the City, regarding the purchase of their sys
tems, And the City paid the companies, for properties and
extensions, twelve million dollars. It is a ten-period contract,
and the authors assured the voters that at.the end of the ten-
year period the City of Los Angeles would have developed
sufficient hydro-electric power to furnish all the demands of
the City, “Thus Eliminating the Necessity for the Purchase of
further power from the companies.” It was declared by the
committee that,“Municipal ownership of Power and Light in
the City of Los Angeles will be placed upon i= substanital
foundation. The business atmosphere will be clarified and
the public will be relieved of further concern regarding the
necessity of additional Power Bond Issues.” ,
As citizens and voters of Los Angeles, we want to know
what disposition was made of the remaining “cash surplus”
which was to have been applied to further reduction of bond-
ed indebtedness? “What has become of the $25,095,000.00
which was to represent the gain to thé City of Los Angeles in
the first. ten years of the kontract of municipal ownership
under their plan? :
We await your answer. <
Why have we not derived some income by the acquisition
of those systems as advocated by the “Committee of the
Whole,” especially since it was averred that the income would
be immediately available and would pay all interest and sink-
ing fund charges upon the entire bond issué of the City, ‘both
outstanding and proposed? Would’ not the cash surplus, to-
gether with accrued earnings provide ample funds to carry
on the werk expansion pand extension?

The Coolidge Club represents that will go to Cleveland in June to cheer on the nomination of Calvin Coolidge at the Republican National Convention. Reservations for balcony seats in Conventing Hall have been requested from the National Committee to associate the entire party.
The Coolidge Club representatives will be headed by Dr. Benjamin E. Robinson of Boston, Republican leader in Massachusetts, an alternate delegate to the convention, who, with Robert M. Stevens of Pittfield, are the only two colored men who are seeking places on the delegation. Both are, included among the 39 aspirants whose names will go on the hallooft with the endorsement of President Coolidge. Dr. Robinson, who is chairman of the Executive committee of the Coolidge Club, will go on the Massachusetts Coolidge delegation from the 11th Congressional District.
The Coolidge Republican Club of Massachusetts is not an organization of recent sporadic growth, conceived in the heyday of success of the President with the obvious purpose of basking in the limelight and seeking selfish aggrandissement from the reflected glory of Mr. Coolidge's ascendancy. The club was organised in the dark hours of the President when he, then Governor of the Commonwealth, in September, 1919, made his sturdy appeal for "law and order", as he stood with his back to the wall resolutely facing the forces of rebellion and anarchy which were threatening to sweep the state.
Inspired by the stand of Calvin Coolidge a handful of colored men, headed by Dr. Benjamin E. Robinson, taking as their slogan his ringing phrase "Law and Order", brought into existence the first organization founded in the United States named in honor of the man who is now President. To this group of colored men must be accorded the credit of having rallied to him before his white compatriots had came to visionize the true measure of his greatness. Calvin Coolidge has not betrayed the trust which these men imposed in him.
Within a few days after the initial meeting incorporation peppers were issued by the Secretary of State of Massachusetts granting authority for the use of the corporate name of "The Coolidge Republican Club of Massachusetts, (Incorporated)." From a small beginning he club has preserved. Early in 1920 a four story, steam heated, brick building at 115 Dartmouth street, Boston, was purchased for a permanent club house the needs of the organization, with assembly hall, smoking, lounging, card and billiard rooms. The Coolidge Club today occupies the unique position of being the only purely political body in Massachusetts occupying headquarters standing in its own name.
The club was thrown open to every Republican, regardless of color, creed or sex. The sole requisite for membership is allegiance to Republican principles. Today the club has a large percentage of white members who are doing their best for its advancement. In addition, with an astonishing growth of confidence between the white and colored members, has come a much wider recognition of the colored men in politics throughout the State of Massachusetts. The membership is over 3600 with constant accessions to the membership list.
The officers of the Coolidge Republican Club are President, Robert B. Batter; Vice-President, Lettice D. Stone; Secretary, Carroll E. Thomas; Assistant Secretary, Julian B. Mitchell; Manager Charles A. Dodson; Treasurer, George M. Johnson; Executive Committee, Dr. Benjamin E. Robinson; Chairman, Philips Taylor, and C. E. Odum, Chairman of Women's Division, Mrs. Mamie Tolliver Dandridge.

she is the savior girl in the world, and she will save those in any good and. Every girl who is in a law unto herself in regard to all that she essay or does in certain not only to bring upon herself the condemnation of those whose good opinion it in worth while to have, but she will make certainly incur the punishment of a just God. And sometimes, I am sorry to say. I think that when a girl proudly declares that she doesn't care for the good opinion of others, she does no because she knows that she has already lost all right to that good opinion.
It is wrong, boys and girls, to undertake to run roughshod over the so-called prejudices of the public. It is a foolish thing to take delight in trying to shock people by your boisterous and unlucky and unbecoming conduct. Every really wise and nice girl cares a good deal for the good opinion of others, and particularly for the good opinion of persons older than she is. She recognizes the fact that the laws of conventionality, and of good society are based upon what is right and what is proper, and that no girl can, with propriety set them ataught.
Some girls go so far as to say that they "don't care" what their own fathers and mothers think. The wild girl who says this is setting defiance not only ab the human parental law, but also the law of God, which plainly commands children to obey their parents.
Haven't you ever seen a "don't care" girl? She's nearly always reckless in manner and speech; she is bold and defiant; she is impudent beyond mention; and she is very fond of ridiculing girls who do care a wreat deal what others think of them.
No matter whose children they are, no matter what schools they have attended, these "don't care" girls are no good, and good girls ought not to associate with them. Every day such filipant girls are treading on dangerous ground, and some day, unless a merciful God prevents it, she will come to open disgrace and die and go to torment. I am hoping to see the day when all the "don't care" girls will have passed out of existence, and then all our girls will be refined and woman kind who do care a great deal about their conduct, their manners and their morals.

The pledgees were delightfully entertained by the Chapter members with an Easter tea Thursday afternoon at the home of Miss Alma Greene. Following a review of the history, and general aims of the Chapter by Mise Marion Carter, president, the members and pledgees participated in an interesting program and games interspersed by music. A feast of good things brought a most enjoyable evening to a close.
THE HAPPY EASTER HUNT
On Sunday morning, Easter Sunday,
Mr. and Mrs. William Payne held
their Easter Egg Hunt for the younger
set of East Hollywood. The hostesses
this time were the Misses Millie Harris,
Marjorie Johnson, and Ursula
Stovall.
Each year the Easter Egg Hunt grown. There were more shining, happy little baby faces present, than ever before. After the hunt proper began, cries of "Hot" and "Cold" silt the early atmosphere and caused one to realise that here indeed was true Easter spirit and true Easter happiness.
For ten years this Christian couple has gladdened the hearts of the neighborhood children by the hunt which has, of itself, become an institution out on the hill, expected and welcomed by all the kids in the vicinity.

MISS CLOYD EASTER BRIDE
Ma and Mrs. Edward Cloyd wish to announce the wedding of their daughter, Jennie to William Hill of this city. The affair was both quiet and unique, and was solemnized Wednesday, April 16th. The couple was happily united with a double ring ceremony. Mr. Hill, is a city postman and has been employed in this capacity for a considerable length of time. The wedding was attended by members of the family, Mri and Mrs. Hill will be at home at 1463 West 35th Place.
The home of Miss Theodosis Simpson, 1113 E. Pico street, was the scene of an unique affair. Easter Sunday afternoon, when she entertained in honor of Miss Vela Brown, "The Little Minister" and recent graduate of Wilberforce School of Theology. The home was attractively decorated with bright Spring colors of yellow and green. All of the guest present were georgeously gowned in beautiful Easter gowns of all descriptions. Piano selections were played by the Misses as Velma-Woodq and Nalda McCullough; Vocal Solo by Ms. Juanita Patton-Parker; Selections from Dunbark by Miss Ollie Morgan, accompanied on the violin by Mrs. Bessie Dones, and Miss Irene Salisbury, piano accompanist.
After a pretty little Spring dance by Miss Louise Simpson, a crushed ribbon which she held tight in her hand during her interpretation, was thrown on the floor displaying the words: "Theodosia Lelia Bethrothed to Raymond T. Dunes." There is again, the type of musican, or should we say musical person, who refuses to have anything to do with the other musicians in the community. Why? We do not know. They have the attitude of being afraid of losing some of their glory if they come in contact with others who know as much or more than they, themselves, know.
"Art is long and time is fleeting" says the poet. There is no reason why any person should get the big-head for what they have done or what they know, because no man ever liked nor will live, that has misleaded, for can master, all the phases of an art. It is too vast for one mind. We must remember that the really great men of the world are always the most humble, approachable, and service-giving beings. The prince or king can be spoken to more easily than one can speak to the doorkeeper. Artists like Schuman-heink and Paderewski, etc., will sit and talk to the eager student where others less great will snub them. In unity there is strength, therefore, let us get together.
Those present were the Misses Bertha Lee Saunders, Irmia Banks, Viola Brown, Gladys Dodds, Irene Salisbury, Beqalh Cole, Ollie Green, Emma Lue Sayers, Ana Mae Greene, Berthella Glenn, Fay Jackson, E. Hyson, Elvira Kennedy, C. Kennard, Alice Kennedy, Natla McCullough, Ollie Morgan, Miriam and Ella Matthews, Lu Dema Smith, Velma Woods, Louise Whitey, Jannita Cradock, Caroline Wickliffe, Louis Smith, and S. Broyles, Meadames: Bernice Brown, Irene Johnson, Irene Johnson, Ruth Boyd, Gusse Bacm, Nella Bledgitt, Estella Cole, Willie Hutcherson, Ella Kenny, Georgia Henry, C. Kennedy, Demia Johnson, L. Kimes, C. McCullough, H. Prather, Junnita Parker, Alice Patton, Lavenia Harper-Patterson, E v a shanks, Gussie Brooks, V. White, Christiana Walker, Bessie Dones, Irene Baker, C. Reeves, Janet Howard and A. Richardson.
This meeting will be for the purpose of adopting the newly drafted Constitution and By-Laws and the selection of the Chairmen fo the various committees and completion of a program for Texas Bay and the other meetings throughout the year. This meeting marks the beginning of a very active program which is to be launched by this Association. All former Texas with their sweethearts and his maids are urged to be present.

Arrangments for the anticipated event of the season, the High School Oratorial Contest, sustained by the Alumni Association, have been completed and the judges have been selected. It has also been provided that the student dispatcing of the largest number of tickets, together with the school promoters and speakers are to be the guests of the Association at the May tea, which will be given in honor of the graduates Sunday May 11th. In addition to other numbers of interest which are in store, the Alumni Ochestra, created during the present administration, will make its first public appearance at the contest, promising a rare treat. But in spite of these preparations a question mark is prevalent in the minds of all of us. Which school and what student is going to come home tailing clouds of glory? No one is sure except the High Schools who defiantly maintain that they are out to capture the beautiful loving cup. Consequently everyone seems to be keyed up to a high point of expectancy and excitement and the only relief is to hear the speakers. So, don't forget to come Friday evening May 2nd, to Both Eden Church, bring High School pennants, yell leaders, all of your friends and plenty of enthusiasm, for on this night the dye will be cast, and the triumphant victor will receive the awards.

first Nodgrator to hold effice as long.
Not because of the love entirely that

he has given and the effiecive 'work
that has Heen accomplished under his
leadership, When he accepged this
call his gdod people in Ontapma had
given hima leave of absence for two
years. He |has served five years over-
time, but St. Paul's call has been in-
definite therefore, no one can tell
when he will return. ~ -

"Appointing members of the cabinet is one of the most important and delicate of problems and duties confronting the President. Some presidents have been fortunate in their cabinet appointments, and some have not been so fortunate.
"As the Nation has grown and as the problems of government have multiplied, the importance of cabinet positions has been enhanced. Today, to be the head of any department of the government involves duties and responsibilities vastly more important and more complicated than in the earlier days of the republic.
"President Coolidge, by the two appointments he has made, evinces a likely determination to give dignity and strength to his cabinet and to inspire confidence of the people in the integrity and capability of those whom he appoints. This is particularly gratifying at this time. The people should be reassured. They should be made to feel that all is well at Washington—that men of incorruptible uprightness are heading all the departments—men of recognized fitness for the respective positions.—Long Beach Press.
"President Coulidge inherits a ready-made cabinet which, while it contained a number of members of distinguished merit and ability, contained also two or three members who were a drag on the President and the country. . . . As vacancies occur it can be seen that Mr. Coulidge is choosing men who conform with the high standard set by such members as Hughes, Hoover and Mellon.
"The selection of Justice Curtis D. Wilbur of California to be secretary of the navy met with the instantaneous apprehension of the country, and we are certain the union of Mr. Stone will prove equally felicitous."—Sacramento Union
one who does not agree with him."—From Berkeley Gazette in Selma Irrigator.
"Calvin Coolidge preserves the best traditions of our presidents through these trying times. His high courage wins praise from all sections of the land. That he has had the courage to keep silent amid all the label of Washington only adds to his statue in the public estimation."—San Francisco Journal.
"The new attorney general is a man, every inch of him, and President Coolidge is to be congratulated on the wisdom of his selection."—San Francisco Bulletin.
"There is no doubt that the present situation is brought about by those opposed to Coolidge with the object of disregarding his administration, but the way the people are endorsing him for re-election shows they are not being fooled."—Downieville Messenger.
"The President who is safe and sane, who is capable and dependable, whose principles have been tested by the fires of political battle and the demands of official responsibility; who has been found firm and true in crises, and who studiously avoids that which smacks of the demagogue, is the President to whom the American people will turn next November.
"That his name is Calvin Coolidge is read in the signs of the times."—Long Beach Press.
"Contrast Senator Johnson's attitude with that of the man he is trying to displace in the leadership of the party. Do we find Calvin Coolidge rushing from city to city, from state to state, from northwest to southeast spreading everywhere the gospel that the government and the country are going to the damnation how-words? Certainly not; Calvin Coolidge is where he ought to be, at his desk in Washington, keeping cool and caring, with utmost dispatch, for the business of the country."—Bakerfield Morning Echo.
"Calvin Coolidge was not nominated for the presidency, Mr. Hardling was. But M.: Coolidge was nominated for the vice-presidency and finally became president and now he is making good. He is one of the few men who have become president through the fact that office sought him rather than a case of him seeking the office." "When the time comes to count the hallets this year it is only fair to accept that the people of the country will give him a chance to finish the job they gave him."—Huntington Park News.
"The President's letter to Attorney General Daugherty sequestered his resignation in a model of clearness as well as courtesy. There is not a sentence to be questioned as to either the meaning by reasonableness or grievance. An exceedingly difficult situation is met with perfect frankness and for without great grievance. Others might have met it otherwise, and writers.—The President's collection.
charged with that offense in the Daucherty case. Without attempting to judge the charges made in the senate against the Daucherty regime, the President has made it clear that Daucherty's usefulness in the cabinet is at a end; and he has withheld that verdict until the basis for it became clearly apparent to the country. He was not bound by any law to wait to general approval of such a course but he did wait, and he is to be commended for it"—see Micro Union.
"Every public statement made by President Coolidge has been ecconcise, clear and absolutely void of equivocation, which indiscretly stamps his sincerity in the thoughts of his country, men, making his position unassailable." -Huntington Beach News.
"This year there will be virtually only one name before the Cleveland convention, that of Coolidge." —Sacramento Union.
Chicago, Ill., April 23. (By the Associated Negro Press)—Chicago has just gone through one of the most spectacular and spirited political campaigns in its history. In this battle the Negroes of the city played a conspicuous part. Strange as it may seem Negroes grouped as they are hold the balance of power in this great municipality. No candidate is strong enough to ignore the Negro vote. It is normally solid Republican. It has elected a mayor. It might elect a man to any office.
The interest of the Negro voters in the primary just ended was centered on the candidates for governor, United States Senator, and representative in congress. For the gubernatorial nomination the aspirants were the pres ent chief executive of the state, Len Small and Thurlow G. Essington, a state senator. The chief candidates for the position in the United States senate were the present incumbent, Medill McCormick and former Governor Charles S. Denece. Martin B. Madden, white, and Nathan S. Taylor, colored, ran the race for congress. Small was nominated governor, Denece, according to latest returns, Senator, and Madden representative.
Small was attacked by the larger interests, the metropolitan press and big business. He was called a grafter and all the other things in the category of bad. Essington was picked by the Chicago Tribune to run against Small. Many people credit Small's renunciation to the persistent persecution of the Tribune against him. Negro sentiment in favor of Small was marshalled by Edward H. Wright, Negro member of the state commerce commission at $7,500 a year. Many Negroes, about a third, voted for Essington, led on by the indemnitable Oscar De Priest.
McCormick's defeat, probably the biggest surprise of the election was due in large measure to the Triangle combination which exists among the common people of the state. The present senator had on expensive and thorough campaign waged in his honor. Deneen, twice governor, twice state's attorney of Cook county, and out of public office since 1912 was the only man to relieve or rescue the masses from their fear of what the Tribune might do if power were given to it. Early returns gave him a wide lead. Later unofficial returns cut this lead to 4,000. An official canvass will be necessary to determine the actual winner. Deneen has gained votes in those counties where the official canvass, has been completed.
Taylor, the Negro candidate depended upon to oust Martin B. Madden from Corgress, suffered defeat to the tune of 11,000 to 8,000. It is the consensus of opinion that Taylor his own battle aided and abetted by incompetent campaign mahagers. Two weeks prior to the primary election day the Taylor hosts were legion. It was expected that friends of the present congressman would begin to bear down on Taylor's fitness for the office as his most vulnerable point. More and more persons began to express their desire for a Negro in congress but to mention the ability of Taylor, who handled figures and history in his campaign speeches in in amazing fashion.
He is credited with killing himself when during the last few days of the campaign he had published a fake picture purporting to be a mass meeting in his honor. The crowd was actually that which attended the Y. W. C. A fashion show, Taylor's managers appear to have doctored it up. Later he put on the streets a huge van bearing the life size and lifelike pictures of Negroes being broached and burned. This van was driven around the poor sections of Negrodom until checked by the police and Taylor was arraced. Of course voters learned of this. It was necessary on primary day to convince the people that the Negro candidate was out of jail. They did not mind voting for Madsen who was in Washington, but they were not going to vote for Taylor if he was in jail. Nevertheless, to have bucked both the regular organizations and polled 4,000 voters was no inconsequential feat. Illinois now has a Negro member of the state senate in the person of Adrian H. Hibbert, the second young senator to be elected in Illinois. He
Albert B. Robbins colored, attorney for the Chicago Defender was nominated for judge of the Municipal court, a position which under the new budget pays $12,000 a year. He will be elected in November if white republicans do not kill him. Negro members of the state legislature nominated at the primary were Warren B. Douglass, a former member, Shea Dick and George Kersey, present in ambients, and Charlen Griffin, a new comer,
We want a strong man for Congress from the 11th Congressional district and that man is Sheriff Byers of San Diego who has proved his worth. He is both able and courageous with a perseverance unexcelled. Put Byers in congress and get results. Byers is in sympathy with the administration. Swing the present congressman is not, he is therefore, not in a position to bring things to pass. Byers is for the peo people and the people should be for Byers and put him in Congress where he belongs.

CHARLEY OLIVIER REPORTS PO
LITICAL ACTIVITIES IN
CHICAGO
Charles Olivier who has charge of this page returned Tuesday from a three weeks visit to the East, ten days of that time was spent in Chicago. He journeyed to Washington, D.C. on a business mission, but stopped at Chicago. Stopping there he found himself on the scene of a most sanguine political battle, and if tiybody enjoys a political fight more than ancharley they will have to go some. It was music to his ears and too he was of real service for the Coolidge forces as he was in a position to give first hand information which helped to create sentiment not at all favorable to the candidacy of Hiram Johnson.
1910
He was closely in touch with those who marshalled the forges in battle array, Hon. Roscoe Simmons, Louis Anderson, Capt. Cohen, Hon. Wm Carter, and others and the big colored strengthls turned in a majority of four to one for President Coolidge. He declares that his experience in the primary at Chicago was worth all the other efforts of a life time along the line of political efforts and that the colored leaders in Chicago are past masters in the art of politics.
EQUIPPED WITH OUR OWN HEARSE AND SEVEN ASSENGER CAR, WE ARE PREPARED TO DO SERVICE THAT WILL SATISFY.
After the primary he journeyed on to Washington and met Senator Shortridge, and was warmly welcomed by the junior Seator from California. He had the rare and distinguished privilege of meeting President Coolidge and to converse with him. That he exhibited to the president the California Eagle and received his compliments on the good word the paper had been doing in his behalf. He describes the president as a man whose heart is with all peoples and his soul effort is to serve them.

Among our group it seems that unless Titus Alexander gets busier than ever before that Democats will be more source than hens' teeth. Lamar has described the Jeffersonian ship and sailing astronomy in the Coolidge band wagon. So Titus has a big log before him, but he seems game and will try to make the grade.
The North Carolina Mutual did not attain this position like Today, it did not just slightly grow. It has taken exactly twenty-five years of unselfish labor to make this institution. The report of the examiners that did not overlook the man who has been behind the helm for every year and day of these twenty-five years and his faithful colleague, who shouldered the burden with him for twenty-one years, to C. G. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual, and J. M. Avery, vice president and secretary. Of these two men the examiners say in their written report, "These men, especially the president, who was with the company from the beginning, are the active officials, who should be given credit for its efficient management." Negro men and women of America should take courage when they see an institution owned and managed by Negro to whom such praises are due; after twenty-five years of experience by the other members of the National Congress

of society. He would appeal to no oth-
er power. His conviction was that God
sould be linked to man thru faith and
love, and so the great work of human
red@mptien couid be accomplished.
And those who represented systems
with which self interest, as they saw
it, was imseparably asseciated, felt
and feared the revolntionary infiverce
of this teaching.
When they sefzed Jesus, in a panic
of apppretension. they phrased their
jnost telling complaint against him in
the charge, “He stirreth up the peo-
ple”. He was a disturber. This good
news abont God envisaged quite
another world from that which spelled
privilege, authority, exploiting oppo:
tunity for the sys:ems of the day. Je-
sus did not fesist the cross. He ac-
eepted it. He made no effort to escap=
it. Had he resisted, had He attempted
flight, it would have beeeh to con-
fess that His faith fafled in the truth
He bad preached. the ultimate tri-
umph of God's gv.od news through the
power of Spiritual forces. On this fan-
damental principle He was unmoved
by all pressure and temptation to
compromise. Avoidance of the cross
would have meant the tragic collapse
ct His mission: Acceptance of it
meant the tragic collapse of His mis-
sion. Acceptance of it meant its tri-
umpt. He went to Calvary unshaken
in His faith that the victory would
yet be won thru/ those spiritual forees:
upon yhich He had relied.
Jesus and His message survived

Councilman Mushet has written his statement in-
the form of questions which he answers, in order to
make perfectly plain and clear to a schoolboy that the
voting of the $21,000,000 are bonds spell destruc-
tion to the program of the Board of Edueation for. pro-
viding needed schools for thousands of children.
Councilman Mushet isthe acknowledged financial
expert of the City Council, and is the Couneilman who,
single-handed, successfully fought the Power Bureau’s
attempted secret discount sale of the pater elee-
triet bonds to Irving H. Hellman and thereby saved the
taxpayers $2,000,000. i
Mushet’s statement is as follows: ,
Question: What limit does the law put on the
bonding eapacity of the city of Los Angeles?
Answer: | It limits the bonded indebtedness to 15
per cent of the assessed value of taxable real and per-
sonal property within the city. ‘
_ Q.: Are there other limitations which should be
considered in determining the amount of bonds . that
should be issued? :
A.: Yes, limitations imposed by a market for the
“bonds. \ ;
Q.: Where is this market and what are the limita-
tons? we
A.: The only market that, can absorb large issues
such as the city of Los Angeles put out is that of New
York, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
The law in those States with respect to bonds
which may be bought by saving banks places the limit
at 7 per eent of the assessed valuation. <
Q.: What is the assessed valuation?
Aus $996,950,520. a 3
Q.: What does 15 per cent of this amount fixed by
law as the “bonding capacity” amount to?
A.: $149,542,578.
Unpaid Bonds i
. Q.: *How many bonds have been authorized and
sold and are at present unpaid?
_ A.z $80,426,837.50. ;
.Q.: . What is the present bonding capacity of the
city? . :
A. $69,115,740.50. g
Q.: Is this bonding capacity encumbered in any

Aut In April, 1823; the State of New York agreed
‘to double our ages valuation and they. exempt our

districts, $30,471,392;.Flood control districts, $3,706-
169; Ler improvement districts, $5,062,000.
Total, $39,240,101." In this way, after applying the 7
per cent limitation, they arrive at a remaining bonding
capacity Jot be geles, which they considér legal se-
curity for e im sav gs.benks of FEA POOL EES.
. Is this amount-$44,306,156.85, the bonding
capacity or the uneneut bered bonding eapacity?
| A.: ‘The bonding capacity. If you deduct those
bonds authorized but not yet sold amounting to $22,-
988,000—the un: ny bonding capacity under the
laws of the State-of New York, in spite of the fact that.
_ they have doubl assessed valuation, is only $21,
368,156.85-So tang sales in the East in excess of
this bonding eapacity is illega] for savings banks, and,
therefore, a market will have to he found elsewhere at
probably a higher rate of interest.

A.: The proposed new charter specifically pro- -

eharter. t

Q.: If authorities, other than the City Council,
‘have an unlimited right|to mortgage the city, is not the
debt limit of 15 per cent.in danger of being exceeded?
A.: Yes-especially ante the proposed new char-
ter provides that tee er such public utility (water
power and harbor) shall be determined by the Council
by ordinance to be self-sustaining then the bonds issued
for such utility may, by ordinance, approved by a ma—
jority of the voters voting thereon at an election, be ex-
cluded from the debt limit.” ,

WHY WAIT?
"And now, Lordwhat I for? My
hags is in Theos." Ps. 30:7.
Sermon by C. P. Jones
The 39th Psalm is a Psalm of David and was dedicated to one of his chief musicians. Remember that a Psalm is a hymn and written to be sung. But in substance it is sometimes praise for blessings and mercies, or praise excited by the glorious attributes of God. Sometimes it is a complaint of the soul's conduct, a plaint and a plea made to God against adverse conditions. Sometimes it is the celebration of God's mighty deeds on behalf of His creatures or of His people.
In the Psalm from which we take our text, David has found: himself greatly dissatisfied. But amid his dissatisfaction his soul lights upon the only effective remedy to get to God. Turn from thy trials and thy failures and thy woes. Turn to God. And don't be all day about it. Don't take a week. Did put it off till another year. II Cor. 6. Every moment lost is that much peace and happiness lost. Lord why do I procrastinate in so important a matter? My hope is in thee? All other hopes are vain.
David was under the power, the inspiration of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation when he uttered these words. Need it is the Spirit who quickens the soul to consider divine things airtrib.
The things of Christ and His salvation are revealed to us by the spirit of God.
I Let us notice first that the earnest soul of David discusses his condition with God.
David early learned the precious truth that he belonged to God: that he owed allegiance, obedience, confidence, loyalty, to his Maker, tat God was the God of his life, the arbiter of his destinies, the Savior of his soul, the preserver of his being, the guide and keeper of his way, the restorer of his soul, the spring of his joys, the river of his pleasures.
Therefore when he felt lost, lonely and undone, he sought the secret placer of the Most High and had a little talk with Jehovah. It is the thing for all men to do. Get to God with yourself, bring your troubles, whatever their ature to the throne of grace. Heb. 4:16. Have a little talk with Jesus. "Come now and let us reason to gether, saith the Lord; the your sins be as scarlet they shall be white as snow; they the be red like crimson they shall be as wool". When the soul gets humble enough and honest enough and sincerely enough to stopictising people and finding faults with men and turns away from indulgence and gets to God with matters. He, the God of grace, thus Christ Jesus, soon has that soul white and clean. He breathes pure thoughts into it, girls it with holy purposes and heavenly receives and so "restores the soul". Ps. 23. 20. 62.
II. Here is an important acknowledgement - what wait for? In the matter of earthly desires and interests men seldom wait -unless forced to do so. They rise up and go after what they want and that at once. But they would delay the day of death as the last thing they are prone to put off the demand that the soul makes for the knowledge of God and the assurances of religion. Another day in sin, another day in spiritual slumber, another day in fleshly indulgences; another day in anger, resentment and pride. And as they wait and neglect salvation (Heb. 2), and keep God shut out of the life and the soul away from its Maker and redeemer -away from happiness and holiness and peace.
What wait I for? O Lord, is my soul among these? Am I doing this? Sit me up to take hold on thee, O God of my salvation! What wait I for?
III. Why men wait -What for.
1. The difficulty of teaching the heart away from worldly thoughts and interests, from human flatteries and sympathies, carries men to delay getting to God. For we can only be found of Him when we seek Him with the whole heart. Jer. 29:13.
2. Lack of a proper sense of the importance of religion. I have heard men say 'Thematter does not seem to me important. And sad to say, it is too often true that earthly matters seem tremendously, overwhelmingly important so that the sun is darkened, the heavens are obscured and the Judgment seat seen far away or not seen at all. But when one is in deep trouble or death is near. I assure you, thing seems ever to have really mattered but to please God. I was once at the bedside of a prominent politician about 65 years old. He said to me, 'Brother Jones. I am not afraid to die, the most of the wrong that I have done. I have done it to myself. But if the Lord would get me up from here, him. He did not get me live for Him' too late; he did not get up. He went to meet his Maker, emptied with a field of weeds and brokenences and open gates behind him. His work was undone. He had lived the wrong life. What wait I for? As a master of more than thirty years labor, I have seen many cases like that of Henry Mason, and what of these who are suddenly destroyed and that without remedy?
What wait I for? I am not talking about my wife, my husband, my siblings, the pregnant, the chlob, I have no money to save to my own work of the army calling and glorifying in made sure it. But I, I? I must make money and because for myself. Hi, M11343. I must myself and God and with him as a child of the day, my little nieces to do all my chores, his sister and his sister to deal with some of my nieces, I must go to M11343 prepare to meet my God—I, even I. What am I for?

ing the sermon the "Palms", was sung by Mrs. Cora B. Toney. The Pastor then preached with power, from the subject "The Acclamation of Christmas as king". At the evening service he pastor preached with less power from the "Miracle of feeding the five thousand". There was one accession to the church. A candidate for baptism. These two great sermons along with the sweet singing of the choir made the services very impressive. The S. S. and B. Y. P. U. were also very good. Too much can not be said of our young Supt. Mr. Lacy Patton, and our teacher of B. Y. P. U. Rev. Z. Beane.

A group of men and women who are children and does not wish who banded together for the uplift of fifteen million Black Americans. At its third meeting last Tuesday night April 15th, some of the most capable and learned apothecaries and women in our minds outlined ways and means for us to become better and more useful Black American citizens, unashamed of ourselves or our ancestry, how not to be cowards or agitators, but proud of our race and especially of our noble women.
The league meets at 3 p. m. the first and third Tuesdays at Parish Hall, 1527 Felma avenue. Next meeting Tuesday May 6th.
WILLIAM MELLS WATSON.... Violating The Law Or Enforcing It?
Never before have the great numbers of our race who live east of Main Street and South of Fifth Street been confronted with a problem so serious as the one that now confronts them in the matter of ruthlessness, unwarranted and wholesale searches and unlawful arrests by that department of our police force designated "Crime Crusher."
Of late, citizens wholly innocent of any wrong doing have been virtually assaulted in their homes; their houses have been broken into; unlawful searches have been made; innocent persons have been arrested, and, for want of a valid complaint, accused of "vagrancy": in some instances houses have been broken into in which lay some of the most respected citizens in a cick and dying condition and the guilty marauders have ransacked houses, cursed and abused occupants and hurried innocent citizens off to jail. Certain it is that Chief Vollmer is not personally to blame. 264 police-men on probation have been discharged by him for abusing the high authority entrusted to them by appointment to position of police officer. It is important that the average citizen know his rights in the premises.
The rights of the average citizen are these: No peace officers (policeman or sheriff) has a right to search the home of any citizen without a warrant unless a "known felon" is harbored therein. No peace officer can lawfully arrest any person for a misdemeanor which he did not see committed unless such peace officer has a warrant, "Every man's home is his castle", and any citizen inaccessed of any wrongdoing or a violation of the law has the positive right to refuse admittance to bragging, reckless, mischief-making men in the act of violating the law under pretense of enforcing it.
Each citizen should take palms to ascertain the number of any officer who breaks into their home, searches it or makes an arrest therefrom without lawful authority. Whenever possible, the name of such violators of the law should be ascertained. Friends of the arrested persons should be summoned to follow the arrested innocent citizens to the police station to make sure of the name and identity of the person making such unlawful arrest. Any unwarranted and harmful interference with a citizen innocent of wrongdoing in the home by a member or purported member of the Police Department should be reported to Clerk Volunteer at the earliest possible moment and we have no doubt that not only will this type of peace officer be discharged from the force but Clerk Volunteer and the City Government will make any effort to affore all law abiding citizens full protection in their legal rights.
The law cannot be enforced by rank and invidious violations of it under the guise of police authority.

Dr. Young is the founder and teacher of the only Negro school for the training of young ministers in Los Angeles.
Rev. Archie J. Williams is the oldest and one of the leading Spanish teachers in this city. Now what have the Baptists of Los Angeles done for the outside world and how do the following named persons compare with other denominations.
Madam Florence Cole Talbert, who has won national fame as a sweet and cultured vocalist, who was the first of the race to win the diamond medal in a great university in Chicago was reared in the Tabernacle Baptist Church.
Mrs. Minnie Albrittton, now of Boston, who is charming the States wherever she goes with her wonderful voice hails from Mt. Zion Baptist Church, this city and another rising star who is destined to make the world sit up and take notice, our coming Leopidas Simmons, now organist and member of Tabernacle Baptist Church.
Miss Myrtle Anderson, the great oratorical spell binder and philosopher of the Negro race, is a Baptist young woman of Second Baptist Church, this city. New lawyer of New York. The Union picnic, which has for years been the only annual public outing where one could meet all of their old friends, was manned and controlled by the Baptist Sunday School Union of Los Angeles.
One of the oldest and most established real estate businesses was conducted and is being conducted by the H. H. Williams Reality Co. Baptists. The senior member of the grm having passed to the beyond, Mrs. Kate Williams, his wife, and junior member, is successfully continuing the business. I hope I have made out a case with which to meet these Baptists who come here and harp about the Baptists doing nothing, before investigating. People of all denominations, in the face of facts presented, which are self evident and proven will bear witness that the charges of indulence brought against us are not founded upon facts. I still have further achievements to present to you.
The only Negro in this State who has had the distinguished, honor of founding a town in California, was the lamented Chaplain Allen Allensworth, a member of the Second Baptist Church, this city, a Baptist minister and a chaplain in the U. S. Army, who founded the town of Allensworth.
The only Negro appointed by the Government of the U. S. from this city (or if there was any other, it is unknown to the writer), as a speaker during the World War was your humble servant, the writer. He was appointed to travel this country and speak for the Government. He is a Baptist minister.
Dr. H. D. Prowd is at this time President of the Ministers' Alliance, and many Baptist Ministers, from time to time have filled that honorable position.
In travel the Baptist pastors of Los Angeles will compare with any others.
We have pastors here who have travelled in the Holy Land extensively, come who have attended conferences in Europe, others who have travelled the waters of the Nile, visited Abuja, Africa, and one who has visited the Republic of Liberia. In accumulation of worldly goods the Baptist pastors are not behind the pastors in the East nor the pastors of other denominations in the West. Their holdings will compare very favorably with all I've felt devery favorably with other denominations.
Now with all I've said of the Baptists, I have only stated what came to my observation years ago. There are many new and better activities going on during these latter years, a few of which I'll mention.
The fast two leading Chiropractors of this city among our people are Dr. Anna Williams, and Dr. Cornelia Evans, both Baptist women of standing. The Y. W. C. A. was organized by a Miss Albritton, assisted by Mrs. C. A. Spear-Bass, at the home of Mrs. Bass, both ladies are Baptists. The head of the insurance department of the Woodmen of the World is now in this city and he is a Baptist. The leading music company song writers, composers of this city are the Spikes Brothers, which is, I'm informed the leading music store of color this side of the Rockies.

The Easter celebrations of the People's Independent Church of Christ will long be remembered, for every feature of the program of last Sunday was marked with unusual attraction. For the opening of the prowl by the mammoth pipe organ, operated by Mrs. Fannie Bemain, a crowd had thrusted the auditorium of the church and before the choir procession had begun, the seating capacity had reached its limit; all told of the expectations of the anxious audience to witness the Easter services from start until. The sermon by Pastor Gregg stirred the spiritual pulse of the congregation, that listened with marked interest. His text was, "immortality". Special music fitting for an Easter occasion was favorably and effectively rendered by the choir. Mr. Chas. Boston, the solitist of the morning, pleased the audience with a tenor solo. The Lord is my Light. A very excellent violin solo rendered by Mr. Theodore Banks. Baptism of the infants was the closing feature of the morning services. Three, o'clock in gown, was rendered by the Sunday school, every member of which was regarded as par excellent by both children and adults. The program of the Endeavor Society was rendered at the hour of seven o'clock. Among the intermingling numbers of the program was the appreciative song by Miss Lucie Brown, accompanied by Prof. H. D. Greer. A splendid address was delivered by Mr. Huey. At o'clock began the dramatic cantata: The Prophetic Prologue. The Eve of the Sabbath, The Night Watch. The Easter Dawn. The Reappearance. The Report of the Watch. The Questioning of Simon Pete. The Ascension. The constituent elements of this famous Easter drama truly magnified the hundreds of compliments by the enthusiastic audience.

At night the City Musicians' Association will be the guest of the church, and promote its program by the wide scope that will be highly appreciated, and one of marked enthusiasm. The on the day will again be used in a program wonderful and well-whole.
Services at the church last Sunday were excellent. The Sunday school program in the morning was very good. The attendance was splendid, and the Easter offering from the S. was $7.50. The 5 o'clock a. m. service was well attended and the spiritual manifestations were far above the average. At the 11 o'clock services the house was filled and the interest was splendid. The pastor spoke from the words: "He is not here. He is risen. come see the place where the Lord laid." One came forward and knelt in prayer, and confessed his sins, and accepted Christ and joined the church. The endearers were both well attended and interesting. At night the choir rendered a splendid program that delighted the vast mixed audience present. The offering for the day was $37.25. Next Sunday will be trustee day. Every member and friend please bring 50 cents or more for the trustee work.

The glorious Easter has passed, we look forward to the ascension. The morning services at the Mission were largely attended; the Sunday school numbered ninety-seven of the morning. The pastor preached at the 11:00 o'clock hour to a large and appreciative audience. At 3 p.m. the regular Easter service by the S. S. was conducted by Mrs. Gladden, assistant superintendent assisted by the teachers. The children did well. Many were turned away for want of seats in the audience room.
One infant was baptized, Leslie U. King, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie U. King of Nopales, Aristocle, 20th Infantry. The pastor preached at night, the contribution was exceptionally large.

Elder Wm. Carson, Pastor
Sunday was a glorious day. The five clock prayer services as well as all the others, during the day were well attended. At 11 a.m. our evangelist, Sister Wm. Baldwin inspired our souls as she spoke to us in the fulness of the spirit on the power of the resurrection. John 11:25. The pastor also brought many helpful thoughts. At 7:20 praise service was led by Sister Borden, and Brother Jackson brot us the message from John 24:47, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations beginning at Jerusalem. Strangers will always find a welcome.

The services Easter Sunday were very impressive. At the 11 o'clock service the choir under the direction of Mme. Nihilela Te Outley rendered a cantata, "The Lord of Lords". The well filled anthem witnessed to the text that this cantata was one of long remembrance. Too much praise can not be given. Outley for the superior training of the illustrious choir.
Two candidates were baptised at the morning session.
The founding services were no less impressive when the pastor filled the people and preschewed with power from the subject "What Does The Resurrection of Jesus Mean to Us". There were five accessions to the
There were five accessions to the church during the day.

NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH
Paloma St. near 16th
Burial Addition: Boston
From 5 a.m. till 10:30 p.m. Easter Sunday, Now Hope was alive with the spirit of Easter, being expressed by beautiful decorations of lilies and ferns, warbling of birds, wonderful music, beautiful gowns, bright faces and everything that goes to make up a wonderful Easter day at a "lively" church.
At 5 a.m. the church was filled with an audience that eagerly waited to hear the pastor preach his wonderful sermon on the Resurrection which filled every heart with both joy and sorrow. Mr. W. Spicer sang "I remember Calxary" and Mrs. E. Wahsington sang "The Holy City" in her usual appealing manner.
At 11 a.m. the children rendered one of the most beautiful programs ever under the leadership of Miss Marcella Robinson and Miss Katherine Swanson. Every child was a credit to its parents as every number was rendered with scarcely any errors.
Much credit is due the New Hope Chair for the excellent manner in which they rendered the capitata "Easter. Memories." The entire capitata which played for one hour was sung without books, exclusively. Parts referring to Jesus in Gethsemane and before Pilate were slightly dramatized making the rendition more effective.
Special mention is due the following: Miss Mae Dedrick, contralto; Mr. R. Pallium, tenor; Mr. J. B. Shotwell, bass; Mr. W. B. Brooks, baritone; Mr. Henry Van Meter, tenor; Mr. J. Roberson, tenor; Mr. E. J. Swanson, tenor; N. S. E. Scott and Mrs. J. Turley; also ladies trio, ladies quartet, and mixed quartette.
The house was filled with many standing, all of whom seemed to appreciate the efforts of the director, W. H. Brandon. At the close of the service, Mrs. A. Lively was crowned queen by Mr. Noah D. Thompson, the women having won in the rally with a two hundred dollar majority over the total amount raised was $1,658.50. Much credit is due Mrs. Mabel Grey as leader of the women in this wonderful effort. Preparations have already begun for Mother's Day at New Hope, which goes to show that New Hope is The Lively Church.
MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH
502 and Hoover avenue
Rev. A. J. Stokes, Pastor
Rev. A. J. Williams, Asst. Pastor
Thirty-five new members have been added to Mt. Zion in the last 30 days. The morning services were started with a beautiful baptismal service. Eleven were baptised. Dr. Stokes preached from the subject: "The evidence of a living, resurrected Christ."
Baster Sunday brings to us good things. We were inexpressibly pleased to have with us and to preach for us. Rev. Wade and Rev. Dr. Cater, both of whom were wonderfully used by the Holy Spirit. Dr. Carter spoke in the morning service took for his subject the evidence of being risen with Christ at this service. We rejoice to have air to join us. Dr. Wade, who filled the pulpit at the evening service wonderfully treated the subject "Covetousness".
Mrs. Watson is worthy of commendation for the Easter program, it added inspiration to our services.
It offers much encouragement to our Superintendent, Bre. P. B. Brown for the parents and teachers to show their liberality in donating 40 dozen eggs to be distributed among the children.
We are having wonderful success at the revival meeting conducted by Rev. Hine at the cornerstone Baptist Church. Souls are being nightly.

Rev. E. E. Lightner, Pastor
Easter Sunday was a record breaker along all lines at this church. The Sunday School rendered a fine program at the regular hour of meeting which was 9:30 A. M. At the regular morning hour te pastor brought an Easter message using as his text, "He is not here, for he is risen as He said." In the afternoon, Rev. M. P. Mitchell and Rev. R. H. Devis gave sermonettes that the splendid audience enjoyed. At the evening hour the Singing Evangelist gave his famous "Bottle Sermon." This was the closing service of the splendid Evangelistic Campaign which we have been engaged in. As a result of this Campaign conducted by Evangelist Lewis, twenty-eight persons were brought into the "Foid of God", twenty of whom united with this church. Eight were sent to other churches. Next Sunday, April 27th will have good things in store for us. The pastor who last left Monday morning to spend the week on Catalina Island resting will return and bring the message at the evening hour. In the morning we will have a lay sermon by Bro. L. H. Gerrott, the subject of which will be: "Where do I Get Off?" Hear this message. You are cordially invited to worship with us at all times.
ST. JOHN MISSIONARY BAPTIST
CHURCH
640 Palmetto Avenue
Rev. D. C. Knox, Pastor
The spirit was indeed high with us last Sunday, beginning with the Sunday school with 75 present. Two among the Sunday school group were happily converted and confessed Christ in the S. S. Evangelistic meeting at 11 a. m. the choir rendered some beautiful selections. The pastor preached from the subject, Baptism of Belleyers, followed by baptism of candidates. At 2 p. m. the B. Y. P. U. and S. S. congress met with us. We had a joyful time together. At 6 p. m. a wonderful program was rendered in the Easter exercises. Many of the mothers who had never visited our church were present. We were glad to have them out. Rev. B. Robinson of St. Louis, Mo., closed his revival meeting Sunday night with the addition of 22 souls. The Lord has been wonderful in blessing us in the meeting. Dr. Robinson preached from the subject: "She stirred up her nest." He leaves Tuesday for St. Louis. May God bless and go with him. Next Sunday the pastor will occupy the pulpit morning and evening. The public is invited.

L. J. Williams, Minister in charge
A great day at our church on last
Lord's Day. Our Easter program
for the Bible school was well attended.
Under the management of Father
Bryan, it was a success, and the last
quite a few young folks to take part
with us, and at the close of those
meetings the regular church services
took up at 11:30 a.m. Bro. J. W.
Williams, our minister, spoke from the
first chapter of Revelation and the
little verse: I am he that knives, and
the sword; and behold I am alive in
the earth. And behold the fire

Rev. A. W. Jacobs, Pastor
Every service begins and ends promptly on time. Sunday school 9:45 to 11 a.m. W. J. Thompson, superintendent, is inviting everyone who has an interest in the coming generation to try to become interested in some Sunday school, and if you do not attend any at all, he has a place for you. A class that you will enjoy. Regular preaching services, 11 a.m. to 12 m., also 8 to 9 p.m. These services are always instructive. Y. P. S. C. E. at 7 p.m. Sunday accompanied by lectures on character reading from the hand. You cannot help but look at your own hand with new interest as Mr. R. Turmage unfolds the secret of those large joints and short lines, come and hew him. The section leaders are all striving for the goal. Rank I, last Lord's Day, Mrs. Holmes; Rank II R. Turmage, Rank III, Mrs. Lee. We all rejoined to see Mrs. Arnold and her son take membership last Sunday. God bless the mother who leads her children to the House of God.

WESLEY-CHAPEL M. E. CHURCH
8th and San Julian Sts.
A. P. Chaw, D. D., Pastor
Easter was a great day at Wesley Three well attended services were recorded. A splendid audience at the 5:00 o'clock service heard the pastor on the subject of the First Easter Morning. At the H' o'clock hour seating space was at a premium. The pastor and choir seemed to be at their best. More than a dozen came forward for membership. The evening service was well crowded to witness the Easter exercises of the Sunday school. Come to Wesley Sunday, see the Young people in charge of the entire service. At 11 there will be sermonettes by Miss Consuelo Bright and Mr. Ralph Johnson. At 7:30 p.m. the acting pastor will be in charge. The Junior choir will serve both morning and evening. The boys' quartette will be heard. Come, come, come. All are welcome.
The early dawn sermon by the pastor was a masterpiece. The spiritual wave that swept over the church lifted the entire audience from their seats.
The Sunday school of which brother E. B. Maxey is superintendent, is growing nicely. At eleven o'clock the pastor preached from the subject; "Immortality". He was ledby the spirit and the congregation was lifted from their seats by the power of the gospel. The doors of the church were opened and eight persons joined one of whom being converted during the delivery of the sermon. At 7:30 p.m. the choir rendered a cantata which was the greatest in the history of the church. Prof. R. M. Mitchell, chorister and Miss Elizabeth Williamson is due much credit for their wonderful undertaking. The members of the choir were at their host. Splendid throughout the day under the direction of Mrs. Dr. Boswell, Mrs. C. L. Bruce. Miss Robert V. Edwards, and Miss Oletha Smith. These young ladies spared no pains in putting things over the top.
What Is A Negro?
At Its Fifteenth Annual Conference to be held in Philadelphia this June the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will discuss subjects vital to the welfare of black Americans as well as black people of other countries, and throughout the country we are being urged to send in suggestions for this annual body's consideration and discussion.
From Whenae Comest Thou.
While frankly admitting our gross ignorance we, a small group of locals interested in the future of Black Americans would like to be told authoritatively: just who is a so-called Negro? What is it? When is a human being a Negro? Why is he so called? And (most abominable) when is a lady a Negress? Why is she such? And if it is just when did it all begin? Who invented and patented the name Negro? Were there any such named people before black slaves were grot to America? Is there any other of people outside of America who "amuses" being Negroes? Has the so-called Negro and ancient history? When did the black tribes ate Africa become Negroes?
These are a few questions we would like the N. A. A. G. P. to collect on us, so perhaps the "Common sense" statements tell us howwers, until shown elsewhere we finally believe ourselves to be Black Americans.

The rime antidote is more efficient. police work, to get
better police work weed out incompetent-and dishonest officers

THINK WELL OF FIFTY--FIFTY . J .
The Forum on last Sunday thought well of our cans
in last iseue, the heading of which was, “Fifty-Fiftv.” That
body appointed a committee to look. into the situation and-re-
port back it findings.
It is really and truly high time ‘that all peoples should
look after pat real interests and discern wheivier~ or/not
for all that is asked of them that thev receive at least a square
dea lin the benefits which accrue.
LET’S HAVE A PUBLIC PARK ON THE EAST SIDE.
Among the beneficent improvements being made ‘from
public funds, not one that we can see has come to the East
Side and for that reason at this time we do not see why there
should not be a public park on the East Side of the city. The
people htreof are entitled to this consideration and there is no.
good:reason why their welfare should not be of such proportion |
as to, have little opposition for this favor.
THOROUGHBREDS WANTED. ii ee
The enthusiasm manifested at the begining of most of
our major undertakings is worthy of the highest consideration.
But in 90 per cent of the various efforts made we regret to say
that this self same enthusiam wanes, ebbs and slowly smothers
out. The only deduction which can be made in these premises
is the fact that we are not thoroughbreds for the big under-
takings, in other words, we cannot stand the gaff, neither
can we-keep the pace. On the race course we have seen
horses.who would rear and pitch at the start of the race, but
as the-pace set they could not stand it and were soon overs
taken and outdistanced by the thoroughbreds who wo:
come under the wire wit has much grit and \determination’
when they, started. , 7
z Now, what we neéd most'to enter into our great un-
dertakings along all the various lines of effort are more thor-
oughbred men and women; those who will stand the pace, un-
til these things come to pass we will always fail to go over the
top with the big things we start.
CODRIDGCE. ALL THE WAY. « 3
;- The nomination of Coolidge is now certain and sure. This
Weing true why should the Republicans of California be called
upon t-osend a negative delegation to the Convention just io
honor a native son. “ ‘
1 In this situation the highest compliment of California Re-
‘publicans could pay to themselves would be the motion to sec-
‘ond unanimously the nomination of President Coolidge by
‘sending a Coolidge delegation to Cleveland to make the motion.
; Why shpuld it ke otherwise? ..;W.hen Senator Johnson has
eavorting throughout the country heaping abuse upon
this own party and President Coolidge. He has joined hands
with Senator Heflin, Caraway, Walsh and Robinson not to puri-
fy but to crucify his own party. The part he has played has
‘been.eveh more pernicious than the part played by the south-
fire eaters. We cannot see on what basis any real, true
tried republican can justify a support for any other than
Coolidge delegation at the primaries on May 6th.

let for the tifed, over-worked ‘business man; and
will make for newer and better concepts as‘to what
is imperative in'a city with a population as large
and as highly diversified as ours,
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF READING EVERY.
ITEM IN A NEGRO NEWSPAPER.
There is a paramount importance, attached
to one’s habit Of reading every solitary‘item inf a |
newspaper owned, managed and edited’ by . Ne-
groes; a newspaper which prints: the news con-.
cerning you, your race and all that they are doing.
Never before in our history have we'come into
as large and as. broad a realization of fe power
of the printed word. “Publicity,” said late Presi-
dent Harding, “is going to be the greatest preapen tn
furthering the cause of the Ameriead Negro race.”
The rate at which we have been traveling silently
but significantly attests to:this fact. Senators, Rep-
resentatives in the House, and other public men do
not fail to keep up with Dr. DuBois’ editorials. . Of-
ficials of every kind and function live ina state of
fear that Owen and Randolph-may at-some time
give them a severe roasting in their columns of
“The Messenger.” For it is upon the ‘confidence
that a newspaper inspires in its readers toward an
individual that the persona] security, reputation
and success of every man must needs securely rest.
“The newspaper is given the key to every city, the
entry to every family, the 'gar of every citizen when
he is in his most receptive moods, powers .of ap-
proach and persuasion beyond those of the. Protest-
ant pastor or the Catholic confessor. It is no man’s
priest, but its words carry farther than the priest’s
and it preaches the gospel of humanity. ait is not
a king, but it nurtures and traing the king and the
land is ruled by, the public option it evgkes and
shapes.” . &
Thus it is if you would keep; yourself abreast
of the many;-yarious movementsa@which are fre-
quently launched in pursuit of better living and
working conditions, if you would know, of , those
. figures who locally stand out like raised iype for
the blind in politics, religion, education, , and et
cetera, if you would hold fast in your fgith in your
race and believe in its illimitable posapbilities. be-
lieve in the beauty of its genius and ir its final tri-
umphs over prejudice, hatred, segregation and over’
its own'short comings and sins, read long and un-
flaggingly every single item in a.Negro newspaper.

TENNIS CHATTER
Lee Purnell and David Sands of Oakland to Enter July 4th Tourney Who will Donate Two More Cups
By William Melle Watson
1556 Court St., DRExel 3742
The most cheerful news broadcasted this year is that the hatchet has been burried, the handle burned and everything is jake between the Fed and the Delta Tennis Club of Oakland.
Lee and Dave Coming
It is no "Black Dispatch" news that Lee Purnell, the 1922 double champion reinforced by his pal, Dave Sands, the Berkeley University tennis phenom, is planning on tearing into our local chameens at San Diego, July 4th and 5th, like a hurricane, scraping across Frisco bay and packing a sack full of trophies back to the foggy north.
Who Are The Queens
Our dispatcher refused to insert the handles of the pair of "Frisco Queens" that are scheduled to separate Juliaette Harris from her three much coveted titles, but admitted that they are training at Berkeley and are not known locally. We'll see.
Who'll Be The Donor?
Mr. Eugene Walker hang up an expensive silver loving cup for the championship of Men's singles in the July 4th and 5th tourney; the tennis Organizers Club, a similar one for the ladies singles; Mrs. Carotta SpearBass, managing editor of The California Eagle, a cup for mixed doubles; Honorable Frederick Madison Roberts, editor of the New Age Dispatch, a cup for mixed doubles; Charles A. Black and Charles M. Cameron are giving the ladies' doubles cups. Now what big hearted firm, professional man or woman will donate the two cups for men's doubles? Don't all yell at once—its a undred berries worth 5J advertising, free.
WHO is at the Piano? Roberta V. Edwards that piano wizard and oh! yes A. C. Billbrew's Ladies Ministrel Lyric Quarter will be there to greet you at Philharmonic Auditorium, 5th and Olive, May 5, 1924.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
U. S. C. NOTES
EASTER WEEK
By Lloyd C. Griffith
This week is Easter week. All eyes should revert back to that immortal event which has given faith, and religion, and Christianity, to those who have accepted belief in the reality of the resurrection. Perhaps there can be found no biblical reference which has done more to convert sinful people, than the resurrection of Christ. "Doubting Thomas" refused to believe that Jesus Christ had arisen; he, first of all, required that he himself thrust his hands into "his side" and then to feel the nail prints with his fingers, in order to believe.
The unbelievable disciple was fortunate in having the privilege of convincing himself by his own method, that Christ had arisen. Don't be a donbting Thomas. If you wait to feel or touch the truth with your fingers; you will forever stagger blindly in ignorance; you'll never find it. Truth is spiritual, infidel, atheists, and other disbelievers, it is your moral duty to seek the consul of Him who has raised Himself from the dead: for he has transformed the barren lives of countless millions. On Easter, may we not attribute our thoughts in commemoration of that immortal event?
OMEGA PSI PHI ELECTS
OFFICERS
That the 1924 chapter of Lambda chapter should embrace new and additional features and should be augmented to serve the public interest, as well as foster newer and better ideals of scholarship and manhood, was emphasized by Thomas L. Griffith, Basileus, in his inaugural address last Tuesday evening.
"We cannot survive petty assault and criticism," he added, "if we do not immediately begin to sponsor such movements as will exalt us in the public esteem and in the estimation of Omega men throughout the United States."
"We have a great deal to be proud of. We are one with Charles Carter, Carter G. Woodson, Rolad Hayes, Charles Gilpin and a score of other Omega brothers, who by their membership in this fraternity, have given us a sacred place in the hearts of our people; and I am determined while Basilleus, to fight any movement which tends to make this chapter a Beau Brummel society.
Mr. Griffith is a pre-legal student in the University of Southern California, a candidate for the degree of jurisprudence. He has won signal honors in debating and public speaking, having been appointed first affirmative speaker on the Mellon tax Plan.
Continuing his remarks, he outlined plans for the current year and urged all to conduct themselves i college and in public "with that fine poise and good comradship expected of all Omega men."
Jewel Hodge, who was elected Keeper of Seals, spoke next ad asked for suggestions in keeping his records and in the performance of all duties connected with the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. Erskine Ragland, unanimously elected to the office of Keeper of Seals, added that he too long believed in promoting the public welfare, instead of the private interests of individuals. Wailayn Stoval, Chaplain, Chauncey Townsend, Director of Publicity, Lloyd C. Griffith, Keeper of Peace and Sumner Thompson, Chairman of the Social and Entertainment Committee, expressed in turn their attention of helping ni enlarging the scope and activities of the fraternity.

REPUDIATION OR ENDORSEMENT
"California voters can either endorse or repudiate the administration of President Calvin Colloid at the primary on May 6th, Frank F. Morrison, chairman of the Southern California Coolidge Campaign committee, said yesterday.
"The tremendous victories which have marked the progress of the Coolidge campaign in 26 states represent nig every section of the nation, have assured the nomination of President Coolidge by the National Republican convention on the first ballot."
Florida Republicans have held their state convention on April 17th, and it has been announced that the delegation of ten persons from that state is pledged to President Coolidge. Delaware Republicans will select nine delegates on April 22nd, these will be instructed for the chief executive, according to apparently authentic reports. The Pennsylvania primary occurrence on the same date and the national Coolidge campaign committee has stated that it expects an undivided representation from that state. The nomination of President Coolidge on the first ballot at Cleveland on June 10th seems assured.
"Before California voters have an opportunity to express their preference at the primary on May 6th, the Republican candidate for 1924 will be selected," Mr. Merriman declared.
"Unless Californians support this nonnee who is the logical capilidate of the Republican Party, cavin Coolidge, this state will be placed in a wrong light politically. Such an expression would not be in keeping with the many expressions of consideration which have emanated from the White House during the administration of President Coolidge.
Race Coolidge Clubs
Formed
Race Republicans of Oakland, Pittsburgh, Stockton, Modesto, Fresno, Alamouth and Bakerfield have organized Coolidge for President clubs, according to an announcement made yesterday from the local campaign headquarters. Approximately 1000 members have been enrolled in these
organizations. Plans for conducting a campaign in the northern communities have been made by the bodies and active work is now in progress, it was stated yesterday.
All of the clubs have been formed under the direction of the Reverend F. B. Abner, Officers of all organizations were named at the first meetings of the several bodies, according to the information given out yesterday.
Mrs. E. Baker is the president of the Oakland club; W. S. Woods is president of the Pittsburgh club; J. W. Graves heads the Stockton organization; S. Stevens is directing the work in Modesto; Edward Lewis is the executive of the Fresno club; J. W. Singleton is president of the Allenworth campaign body and F. F. Walker has been selected president of to Bakersfield club.
NEW CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN
Distribution of 75,000 copies of the current issue of te California Republican is now in progress. Among the outstanding features of this number are:
Pictures of Southern California Cooolidge delegation candidates; a list of Republican delegations pledged to date; a complete statement of the President's labor record; an account of the Southern California speaking bureau and Southern California Women's division; Ford's statement supporting the Mellon plan; a description of the support given President Coolidge by Negro voters of the state, together with other outstanding achievements of the Coolidge administration.
PRESENT CALVIN COOLIDGE'S TRIBUTES TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN
"Five score and ten years ago that Divine Providence which infinite repetition has made only the more a miracle sent into the world a new life destined to save a nation. No star, no sign, foretold his coming. About his cradle all was poor and mean save only the source of all great men, the love of a wonderful woman. When she faded away in his tender years, from her deathbed in humble poverty she drew hard on with her greatness. There can be no proper observance of a birthday which forgets the mother, into his origin as into his life, men long looked and wondered. In wisdom great, but in humility greater, in justice strong, but in compassion stronger, he became a leader of men by being a follower of the truth. He overcame evil with good his presence filled the nation. He broke the might of oppression. He restored a race to its birthright. His mortal frame has vanished, but his spirit increases with the increasing years, the richest legacy of the greatest century.
"Men show by what they worship what they are. It is no accident that before the great example of American manhood our people stand with respect and reverence." And in accordance with this sentiment our law
have provided for a formal recognition of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, for in him is revealed our ideal the hope of our country fulfilled."
Many Coolidge Clubs
At Work
President Calvin Coolidge's strength throughout the length and breadth of California has been completely demonstrated by the unusual way in which citizens of the state have responded to his candidacy in organizing campaign clubs. Lists compiled by the National Campaign Committee of California shows that there are approximately 150 of these organizations actively engaged in campaigning in California at the present time. Their aggregate membership exceeds 50,000 according to the committee's figures.
Organization of these bodies has been effected in accordance with a systematic principle which was determined early in the campaign. According to the plan worked out by the state committee, clubs have been organized in the several counties which have general supervision over district clubs formed throughout the county. These district bodies have in turn formed units to actively carry out the Coolidge campaign in all parts of the several districts, Southern California, particularly, has one of the most complete organizations ever formed in the interest of a candidate. All of the southern bodies have been brought about by volunteer work and are sustained by the time and service donated by persons interested in the success of the President at the May 6th primary. In summarizing the activities of Southern California the local campaign headquarters have made the following report:
Imperial has a club with a membership of 1000 persons residing in all parts of the political division. This membership represents approximately one-third of the Republican registration of the county.
The campaign organization in San Diego county has branches in National City, Chula Vista and Escondido. One of the largest organizations in Southern California is that in the city of San Diego. Altogether the membership in this county approximately 2000 persons.
Riverside county has a club with some 2000 members. District clubs have been formed at Beaumont and Banning. The club in the city of Riverside has the names of approximately 1500 persons on the roster.
Clubs have been formed in Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana, Anaheim and Huntington Beach, the principal cities of Orange county. The club membership of these communities is approximately 2500.
San Bernardino county organizations have been formed ni Chino, Colton, Highland, Redlands, Rialto and Victorville. Active work is being conducted by the San Bernardino City club.
Ventura county Republicans have organized a club which has a membership of more than 1000 persons and which is effectively organized throughout the neighboring county.
Reports from San Luis Obispo county indicate that the work done in this section in the n rettetTadu in this section in the interest of President Coolidge has not been surpassed in any other part of California.
San Barbara county has been effectively organized by Coolidge Republicans of San Barbara. The membership in Coolidge clubs in that county is approximately 1000.
Kern county clubs have been formed in Bakersfield and Taft and both are reported to have a large membership and a active precinct organization.
The Los Angeles county Coolidge club at the present time has a membership of nearly 20,000 persons. About 35 additional clubs have been formed in the communities of this county. The Pasadena club has a membership of 5000; that of Long Beach 8000; Santa Monica 1000; Whittier 500 and Glendale 15,000. Clubs have been formed in each of the 15 Los Angeles county assembly districts.
Headquarters have been opened by the Southside Coolidge-for-President club at 402 East Vernon avenue. The Westside Coolidge Republican club has headquarters at 1535 Sunset boulevard. Approximately 500 persons have enrolled in the Highland Park Coolidge club which was organized to direct campaign work in the Highland Park and Garvanza sections. Other clubs have been formed at Huntington Park and the Los Angeles assembly districts.

POLITICAL POT PIE
We have a letter from Col. Roscoe C. Simmons who is one of the managers of the Coolidge campaign at Chicago, that Charlie Olivier, who has charge of this page, rendered the Coolidge forces very excellent service on election day in that city. Mr. Olivier furnished them a letter which had been gotten out by the organization of which he is a member. The letter was used with good effect in the colored districts in and around Chicago. Mr. Olivier happened to be in Chicago enroute to Washington, D. C. and remained over until election day.
NOAH B. THOMPSON INTER-
VIEWED BY CALIFORNIA
REPUBLICAN
"The Negro vote in California will be cast at the coming election for President Coolidge."
The foregoing opinion was expressed for The California Republican by Npah D. Thompson, of Los Angeles. Mr. Thompson, who was an assistant of the late Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Alabama, is one of the leaders among the several of his race who have battled in California for the better standards of political activity and for higher social ideals in the public life of the country.
"Although all long, the Negro voters were favorable to the President, they saw in his annual message in December evidence of the constructive mind of the Chief Executive. Because for the first time in many decades the President proposed a workable, measure, fundamental in its social significance, which would make for the permanent adjustment of the relationship between the white and the Negro people.
"It was the suggestion of a joint commission of members of both races, to look thoroughly into the matter, find the common ground for action, and report a plan of procedure.
"Our people believed that the President had found a very valuable plan. First, specifically, the commission would doubtless discover measures of high value. And, second, it would, by the very fact of its composition and activity, make for better feeling and harmony and progress.
"It is accepted by all as true that, when two men get around a table in sincere consideration of a matter at issue, they are halfway towards an understanding."
Coolidge Clubs Functioning
"We have several Coolidge for President clubs which are functioning actively. Our California Negro contingent, too, has lately been brought into national prominence by the visits to the East of J. B. Bass, editor of the California Eagle, who attended all of the large national Negro conventions, and labored successfully to procure unqualified endorsement for the President as administrator and candidate.
"The Negroes of the country, therefore, now know that the people in this state are for the President, and that what opposition exists here is not representative of their views. We are laboring hard and sincerely for the high ideals of public service for which the President stands, and accept as his standard of thought and action that splendid part of the annual message to the Congress, in which President Coolidge said:
"The world has had enough of the curse and selfishness, of destruction and war, it has had enough of the wrongful use of material power. For the healing of the nations there must be good will and charity, confidence and peace. The time has come for a more practical use of moral power, and more reliance upon the principle that right makes its own might. Our authority among the nations must be represented by justice and mercy. It is necessary not only to have faith, but to make sacrifices for our faith. The spiritual forces of the world make all its final determinations. It is with these voices that America should speak. Whenever they declare a righteous purpose there need be no doubt that they will be heard. America has taken her place in the world as the public-free, independent, powerful.
The best service that can be rendered to unanimity is the assurance that this place will be maintained."
The Young Republican Club hold its spiritual meeting on Wednesday night, at Adams Street Hall. Among the speakers were: Mr. Fred Frank, Mrs. C. A. Bass, Attorneys L. K. Beeks, H. M. Broyles, Hon. F. M. Roberts and A. P. Shaw, Miss Broyles and others.
The Coolidge Club hold forth at their quarters on last Wednesday night making final arrangements for their big rally at the 11th Street school house on next Wednesday night.
At 944 Birch street, at the home of Mrs. Ida Howard, at the meeting of the Allensworth club, Mrs. C. A. Bass addressed, the club on the political issues, declaring for Coolidge, the police bonds and declared that the other bonds attacked of taxation without representation.

PASADENA
One of the most interesting affairs of the week was the musical tea given at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. John Street, 510 Oak Knoll avenue, under the auspices of Mrs. Bertha Turner's Club No. 2 Unique was the chatter program under the direction of Ms. Blanche Harry, featuring musical and dramatic artists, such as Roland Lives, Harry Burleigh, Florence Tale, Talbert, Matiatt Prown, and others, others. Mrs. Alberta Willis at the panel, represented elen Hagen; Mrs. Sharnett Floyd as Madam Carter Hawkins, rendered a beautiful solo, responding to ences. Miss Warren formerly a nstructor of music in a Topeke Karsas College, convinced the audience that she was fully able to impersonate Alma Gluck possessing a rich contralto voice. Mrs. J. R. Watkins who explained them sang the role of Madam Butterfly, did indeed charm all under his sound of her sweet voice. Miss Naomi Hunter as Hallie Q. Brown, was without an equal. Mr. Collins a paul Lawrence Dunbar proved himself a fine dramatic reader. Last, but by no means least, Mr. Tilman Farlee, our own Caruso, with his deep, rich voice, certainly is without a peer on the Pacific coast.
Thursday, April 3rd, Mesdames A. E. Taylor and J. M. Brown gave a turkey dinner under the auspices of the Sewing Circle of the A. M. E. Church. The members of the Sewing Circle were very well satisfied with the results.
Mr. G. W. Mills, of 485 Oak Knoll avenue, dropped dead at his home, Sunday evening, April 6th, at 10:15, after having attended services three times during that day. His sudden death was due to heart failure. Mr. Mills, being an old resident of this city and highly respected, also a staunch member of the Friendship Baptist Church, was loved by all who feel his loss keenly.
In spite of the threatening weather of Sunday, April 6th, the services at the Metropolitan Baptist Church were very well attended all day.
Great preparations are being made for the Easter services at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Rev. Gordon, of Los Angeles, will speak at 3:00 clock in the afternoon. In the evening at 8:00 o'clock, Dr. Robinson, of St. Louis, Missouri, will be the speaker.
Rev. Strauther, the pastor, also wishes to announce that Re. Louis, the national evangelist will begin a series of revival services, Wednesday, April 23rd.
A Junior Missionary Society of the Friendship Baptist Church, consisting of the younger girls of that church has been recently organized. Friday evening, April 4th, at the home of Mrs. Louis J. Grover, 172 Hammond street, this society gave their first affair, a very unique Dutch luncheon. This was for the purpose of buying books for a study course for the girls. The results were very satisfying and everyone present enjoyed the evening.
PASADENA
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Turner of 80 W. Logan Avenue celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary, April 6, with a very brilliant reception in their lovely new home. Mrs. Turner, as usual, made a very beautiful and charming hostess gown in a beaded georgette crepe evening dress. The host and hostess received over a hundred guests during the afternoon and evening and afternoon, among whom many out-of-town guests were present, and were entertained by both classical and popular music rendered by Mr. Arthur Trent of Los Angeles. The living room was beautifully decorated with American Beauty roses, and the lights were softly shaded, making a very lovely picture. The beautiful song "Because" was sung by Mr. James Miller.
Many beautiful and useful presents were received by the hostess. Delicious and dainty refreshments were served by three daintily dressed girls.
A very enjoyable time was spent by all present who wished Mr. and Mrs. Turner many happy anniversaries.
At the lovely home of Mrs. Bertha L. Turner, of 220 Worcester avenue, a very unique Chinese dinner was served by the hostess and ably assisted by Mesdames Holt, Cepeland, and Hurst. Little Chinese fans were worn by the ladies assisting. Mrs. Holt made a very charming little figure as she typified Chinese fashion to greet the guests. Mrs. Margie Small entertained the company with her delightful music. The decorations were carried out by lanterns hanging from the chandeliers and Japanese parasols. A beautiful scent prevailed in the room from the burning incense. Many Los Angeles friends numbered among the Pasidenians and enjoyed the delicious dinner which consisted of chicku noodles, chop suey, spaghetti, baked ham, rice, Chinese fortune cakes, tea, coffee, pop, ice cream, and Mrs. Turner's famous rolls.
This dinner was given for to benefit of the Opportunity Club. The club was organized by Mrs. Turner to aid in the rally. Mrs. Turner was very grateful to those who helped make it a success.
The young people's Lyceum of April 7th was called to order at the usual hour. The poem content which was to be held that evening was postponed until the following Monday. There will be two prizes offered by Mr. Barney Durham for the two best poems given. The first prize will be a silver over-sharp penell and the second prize, a leather bound notebook. The subject to be discussed for April 14
will be "Love, courtship, and marriage" much interest is being shown by the members as there is usually a very good attendance.
The oratory contest held at the U. S. C. April 10th, was very successful. Mr. Thomas Anderson of Pasadena High School represented the same in this sontest. We are very proud that he was the winner of the second prize, a silver medal. As Mr. Anderson's oration on "Lincoln and the constitution" was so excellently given, the majority of those present thought that he deserved the first prize.
nthcf Mialmo rdiao -r,yYio ngest ne Miss Marion Mcintyre of 469 Mundell Drive, entertained a jolly set of bcdys and girls at her home, Sunday afternoon, April 13th. Among those present was Mr. Woodsen Wickliffe of Hollywood. Interesting games were played during the afternoon and everyone present spent a very enjoyable time.
the death of Rev. G., L. Cooper,
former pastor of the First A. M. E.
Church came as a great shock to his
many friends and members of this
church. He was loved and esteemed
by all and especially was a favorite
among the young people, whom he
was always willing and ready to advise and help.
All friends in Pasadena extend
their heart-felt sympathy to Mrs.
Cooper.

PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST 18th and Paloma Sts.
The services of last Sunday were marked with historic allusions, exemplary of Palm Sunday. The sermon in the morning by Dr. Greggs, was historic, inspiring and spiritually touching. Mr. Allen from Chicago, was the soloist of the morning and sang, "Psalms." The anthems of the choir were very fitting and effectively sung. At night the audience, was shown stereoception views of the birth and crucifixion If Christ, and touching views of the Prodigal Son and dispersed with songs from the audience and a special solo number by the director of the choir. Prof. Johnson and Miss Valeria Crawford. Views were accompanied by inspirational discourse by the pastor, all of which made the program one of immeasurable appreciation by the large audience in attendance. Next Sunday promises to be a day for historical remembrance, due to an extensive program that will be rendered throughout the day. In the morning a special Easter sermon will be delivered by the pastor. Excellent music will be sung by the choir. At the morning service baptism of infants will also constitute a part of the program. At three o'clock in the afternoon a special program under the auspices of the Sunday School through the direction of the Superintendent, Mrs. B. Printice and a corps of special teachers, will be one worth while for old and young to witness. At 6:30 in the evening the Endeavor will render a Special program, special music and addresses. At 7:30 the choir will present a most interesting cantata. A special feature of which will be a pantomime, with characters that will make the delivery and scenes one of marked excellence. Monday night, following Easter, the East Side Board of the Willing Workers, will give a big Easter Egg Hunt with prizes. The features of this egg hunt will be marked with fun and enthusiasm. On Sunday, April 27th, the big feature of the day's program will be baptism by emersion. Each service, each program will be worth while. Those missing will have reason to regret.

At the close of the preaching, the invitation was extended and one soul came forward and made the good confession and will prepare for baptism. Our Rally last Lord's Day was a success.

Rev. A. J. Williams, A. B., M. B.
Assistant Pastor
There were eleven successions to the Mt. Zion Carch last Suday morning, and eight of the candidates for baptism.
The pastor preached a very touching sermon from the subtest: "Prayer." No one left without saying, the Lord was certainly in this place this morning.
At the afternoon service, which was held under the auspices of Junior Missionary society, Mrs. C. A. Spear-Bass of the California Eagle Publishing Co. addressed the society and the visiting friends. The address was inspiring and helpful to all.
At the evening service, Rev. Chas. Hampton of the Second Baptist Church spoke. All were glad of the opportunity to hear this young man of God speak.

Rev. W. H. Rozier, Pastor
God is pouring out His spirit on the young as well as on te old. Children are being saved at Pleasant Hill as never before. God is saving the children for a purpose. If the hearts of the old folks are too hard and their necks too stiff to bend, and too big a coward to say they can live clean and sinless lives. God will save te little children, put boldness and courage in their hearts, and get glory and praise out of their months.
Sunday school was conducted by Sister Sneed, Supt. of primary depart. The Quarterly report was given by th secretary, Bro. B. E. Hines, and credit is due Bro. Hines for the efficient report.
Bro. Rozier preached in the morning from the 16th chapter of St. John. A large crowd was present. The servant of God served us out of God's pure word.
We were pleased to have Rev. Gantt and wife with us Sunday night. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. Gantt. Romans 6th chapter. Bro. Rozier preached from the last chapter of Romans: "The wages of Sin is death!"

BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH HOLDING ITS SERVICES IN THE V. W. C. A. NINTH AND NEWLOCK STREETS
"The lesson in Sunday School was "Elijah at Carmel." Many beautiful points were brought out, and driven home. The backbone in friendship, also in all the affairs of life, especially in religion, should never be missing in professors. Lovers, friends, well-wishers, especially Christians should always be in the open and never in a doubtful corner. Seven thousand well-wishers and friends is a splendid asset, but if they do not declare themselves and come to our aid when we need them most, then their usefulness is in great doubt. We cannot use "Stay away." At the 11:00 o'clock service, Dr. Proud preceded from Matt. 21:19. "Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." "Crucify him, crucify him!"
The subject was the acclaim, and the rejection of Jesus. Among the many points of interest was that of the uncertainty of human praises and adorations. They are one thing today, and the opposite tomorrow. God alone is our unattailing friend. At the usual hour the R. Y. P. U. carried out a splendid program; using for a subject "The Prodigal Son". We had a great time hammering on the poor prodigal, still we did not quite forget ourselves, for the guns were turned inwards. At 8 o'clock we observed The Lord's Supper and had a blessed time in a odoring. We have a fine program for Easter Sunday. Come, and worship with us. We praying for a blessing. We cordially invite you, especially the strangers.
Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor
Easter will be observed in great form next Sunday. At 5:00 A. M. the choir will render special music and the pastor will preach a short Easter sermon to be concluded at the 11:00 o'clock hour. At the same hour will be held the baptism of infants. The Sunday school will render the Annual Easter Services at 7:30 P. M.
Evangelist Lewis will preach his famous Nall sermon on Monday night in a farewell service to pastors Beane and Shaw, who leave Tuesday for the General Conference and points East and South.
WARD CHAPEL A.M.E. CHURCH
1252 E 25th Street
Rev. B. R. Guy, Pastor
Our Sunday School last Sunday was up to its standard in interest and attendance. The morning services were well attended and the large congregation expressed great interest and appreciation. The offering was beyond the ordinary. The pastor spoke from the text, "Hosannah to the Son or David; Hosannah in the highest." The palm decorations were creditable. Both endeavors had good lessons, and the interest was splendid. At night, the pastor spoke from the text, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." The mixed audience present gave marked attention. The offering for the day was forty-two dollars for trustee purposes. Sacramental services Friday at 8:00 P. M. in commemoration of the Crucifixion of Christ, our Savior. We are preparing for special Easter services by the Sunday school and church.
LINGOLN MEMORAL CONGREGATIONAL-CHURCH
34th Street and Central Avenue.

Lewis of Chicago, will be with us throughout the day, and will conclude the Revival services at the evening hour. Great services were held the past Sunday. The pastor brought the messages at both hours and Evangelist Lewis sang as only he can. Three persons were added to the church.
A cordial welcome awaits you at all our services.
PHILLIPS CHAPEL C.M.E. CHURCH
1408 Newton Street
Rev. R. W. Underwood, Pastor
Sunday was a remarkable day at Phillips Capel. The church was packed Rev. E. N. Smith of Mississippi, preached a most wonderful sermon from the text, "What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul". The audience sheed many tears while he delivered the burning message. Sunday is Easter and good things are in store for all who may come out. The pastor will preach at 7:30 P. M. The choir under the direction of Prof. R. M. Mitchell, will render a cantata, "The story of Calvary". This will be a real treat so be on time to get a soot. Everybody is welcome. Come where the fire burns.
Te services of last Sunday were up to the usual high mark, aptitively and financially. Sunday school largely attended. The pastor filled the pulpit of both services. At the eleventh oclock, service he preached from Luke 19:33. "Why loops ye the self, which was enjoined by all." At 7:30 he

Rev. A.-T. Hines, Pastor.

At 5:00 clock the union met with younger people. The devot. was led by the younger people. The

spirit was high, after which Rev. Holden preached a wonderful sermon.
It offers us much inspiration to see at our regular services so many visitors both ministers and laymen.
It was added joy to see Sister Viola, who was so wonderfully healed of it had stage of tuberculosis back from Santa Barbara, still praising God and thanking Rev. Hines for being healed. She says her weight now is 40 pounds more than it was the night she was healed. The voice that whispered then, is crying aloud praises unto God.
We appreciate keenly the idea prompted by Deacon Brown for the church to purchase the six cylinder Buick coupe for the pastor.

LET'S MAKE IT UNANIMOUS FOR COOLIDGE.
We acknowledge that among our group in the past there have been (not many) those who were following the destinies of Hiram Johnson, but since the collapse of his cause as a result of the voice of the people, let's make it unanimous and join in with one mighty accord for the triumphant election of a solid delegation from California to the Republican Convention for President Calvin Coolidge.
LET'S GO FIFTY-FIFTY.
Eagle Readers will note our consistent demand at all times for a square deal along all lines of effort political or otherwise. We have stood right up at the counter and contended to our Governor for recognition in proportion to our worth. We have not got it, but it is not because we failed to press our claim. Some day the Governor will see this thing in a bigger way and then possibly it will be too late for we are certainly keeping books.
aders will note our consistent demal along all lines of effort political right up at the counter and con recognition in proportion to our wo
We are calling on Senator Shortridge and our Congressman as well for a square deal and political recognition if we fail to receive consideration we are going to know the reason why. Now, we have been called upon time and again to support issues for bonds in the public service department of the city. These have always smacked of progress and for the good of the city. In fact we are always for progress and have rallied every time to the call, but now comes a question—have we been considered as all other citizens when it comes to employment caused as a result of the expenditure from funds as a result of the successful issue of these bonds? On investigation it resolves itself into a great big question and we are fearful that no fifty-fifty proposition obtains in these premises at all. Time after rtime young men who have qualified in a competitive Civil Service examination have complained at this office that they have in the Public Service Department been grossly discriminated against solely on account of their color.
Now, we fail to see any fifty-fifty proposition here, but rather taxation without representation. In issues of this sort and under the self same situation members of our group could well emulate the action of the Colored Citizens of Atlanta.
The story runs that they had been called upon time and again to support bond issues which could not succeed without their support. They loyally supported them, but when the money was spent the colored voter was forgotten—no improvements nor employment came his way. Another day arrived, the supreme bond issue for schools it was, the Colored voters sat tight; the bonds failed. Again they came up, again they failed and finally they called for a conference. Agreement for fifty-fifty benefits were made and the bonds went over the top. Now, we are asking for the same consideration in proportion to our population.
In the Police Department we are receiving a square deal and on this bond issue for a better police equipment the bonds should receive our unanimous support. Other bond issues are subject to the great big ? mark.
Talk about protection and all the elements which go to give every citizen the full benefits thereof, any man or woman who would for a moment stand back on the mere trifle which it costs to put the Los Angeles Police force on the 100 per cent basis for efficiency is not entitled to the protection of the law. We have heard to our chagrin of some members of our group who are opposing this meritorious measure. We recognize that it is their right, but we cannot see on what grounds they can do, unless it is personal and such reasons are the barriers which stand in the path of real progress of any people, state, city or even the nation.
"Calvin Coolidge was not nominated for the Presidency. Harding was. But Mr. Coolidge was nominated for the Presidency and finally became President and now he is being good. He is one of the few men who ahs become evident through the fact that office sought him rather than a of him seeking the office.
"When the time comes to count the ballots this year it is fair to argue that the people of the country will give him more to be grateful than they gave him."
ANOTHER ADVERTISING SERVICE
The application before the City Council from the Pacific Service Company for permission to place 1000 refuse cans on the downtown streets represents another advertising scheme, the like of which we have again and again witnessed with considerable disgust.
Commercial advertising has already been taken to the extreme, but when a proposal is made to embellish our public streets with garbage cans upon which gaudy advertisements are to be painted, it becomes necessary to openly protest against any such proposal. Aside from being a public reliance, such a scheme is calculated to disfigure the appearance of our public thoroughfares and increase congestion on them.
If merchants want some method with which to display themselves and their wares they can certainly find a less bunglesome one than which they now offer for the City Council's consideration.
HIRAM WRITES HIS OWN FINISH.
Senator Johnson's retirement from the pre-convention campaign last Thursday was a notable coincidence with a prophecy which we made last week that "it now only remains for our distinguished Senator was no longer capable of rallying the people to his support in the primaries; and would have said that voluntary retirement on his part was the one move for him to make; but it was necessary to wait until the returns from the outlying districts of Illinois could make this a certainty.

Now it seems that Calvin Coolidge has been left with every possible assurance that he will be nominated on the first ballot at the Cleveland convention. He was, to be sure, the logical man at first. There would have been no uncertainty as to the success of his candidacy had it not been for Mr. Johnson's wont to rant about the country abusing and defiling him. Hiram was the epitome of the radical wain in the Republican party. Now that he has retired, we may watch closely, for satisfactory results, the developments in the Democratic party, keep a stern eye upon Senator Copeland and John Davis, who at this time are more likely, one or the other, to represent that party, and pay particular regard to the developments in the third party movement in the Northwest under Senator La Follette.
HUGHES STRIKES RIGHT NOTE.
A more fitting tribute could not have been paid to a man than that which Secretary Hughes delivered on Coolidge before the New York Republicans last Monday evening.
A more fitting tribute could not be paid to a man than that which Secreta delivered on Coolidge before the New Yorkans last Monday evening.
It was fitting in that some vindication of his character was becoming more and more a pressing necessity, as scandal monger after scandal monger have come forth in the last few weeks with tales which defiled the dead and shook the living into a chilling tremor of fright and fear of public disgrace. Not only had the witnesses told the Senate investigating committees of villainy and corruption of those who were known to be so, but it was again and again indicated that President Harding particularly was not altogether exempt from certain accusations and Coolidge too, it was brazenly indicated, could not come out of the investigation without being splashed with oil. The press reared and thundered and several newspapers like the New York Times spoke out in big type that he too was involved. Hiram Johnson sought to tarnish his record and slyly remarked that the only reason Daugherty was forced to resign was that it was a matter of "political expediency." And everywhere the attempt was made to rivet his name to those already charged with high misdemeanor and bribery.
Secretary Hughes' vindication, then, came at the right time; at a time, indeed, when many were about to lose their faith in the present administration and all that constituted it.
A REMEDY FOR NEWS SUPPRESSION.
MR. BRISBANE feigns disbelief in practically any good result that may outgrow the House committee's proposal to give the Phillipines their freedom. "A nation of three-quarters barbarous, ninety per cent steeped in deepest superstition" cannot "get mentally in shape to govern itself in twenty-six years," he avers.
PERHAPS Mr. Brisbane would apply the doctrine of white supremacy to the Philippine case, just as he has frequently done in the Negro case. All of which seems to ask the question, "Is Arthur Brisbane the mouthpiece for a certain number of individuals, who pay him fabulous sums to write in favor of this thing on the one hand, or to denounce and belittle this thing on the other hand?" Or, "Is he really an independent journalist expressing convictions which he has independently formed and without being in any way influenced?" The answer to those questions involve many weeks of judicious study, comparison and investigation; and we do not at all feign to have already undergone them. As a matter of fact, we have not; but we do know that no man can remain in the employment of the Hearst newspapers any considerable length of time without being promptly made the mouthpiece for a certain set of convictions which first saw their origin in the minds of the owners of the papera. One has but to read Sinclair's "Brass Check" to know that the America press is almost completely controlled by a plutocracy; that news is colored by propoganda; that various devices are used, so as to render interpretation of the news in such a way as it will not reflect upon particular individuals bureaus, and industries; that the public, in short, is not always getting news, but propaganda!
DURING the Great War we were kept in blank ignorance of grave losses, of intense physical discomfort and suffering as experienced by our soldiers on the front. The one outstanding reason for this suppression of news was that "it might seize the country with pessimism and shake, our faith in the causes advanced by the State Department as reasons for entering the war." Everywhere we saw the effort made to prevent a "feat complex" from being formed in the minds of the people. We were filled with psuedo patriotism and were compelled to profess faith in a final victory, which we frequently looked up as a mere illusion brought about by enthusiastic demonstrations in different

IN THE MUSIC WORLD
We have spoken before eof one's duty and responsibility according to the position in which one finds himself. Failure to see this duty and to accept this responsibility; will allow inferior persons the chance of occupying places they should not occupy.
As a race we do not like responsibility, and we try to shirk whenever we can. However, when the time for praise and applause zomes around, we are right there, and want more than our share of it. This is not fair, you will agree, but it is nevertheless true. It is the duty of every musician to be present at the first recital of a visiting artist, especially if this is his first visit. First, because they should see and hear for themselves the kind, quality and status of said artist. In this way, they can intelligently inform the community if said artist is worth while. Second, it is one good way of showing community pride. It is almost the same as being away from home when we are expecting a visitor from out-of-town. This would not be courteous to our guest nor is it courteous to the artist. At least see for yourself what he can do. If he is not worth while stay away from future affairs given by him, but be sure to be present at the initial one. Third, contact with good, bad and indifferent music is the only way to broaden oneself. We profit by the mistakes of others. We learn how, not to do, by hearing others do wrongly. No musician nor student can develop unless he hears a variety of music performed in a variety of ways.
It is also the duty of every musician to take an active part in local musical activities. For the sake of himself as well as for the sake of the community. One sad condition seems to exist, in that, we generally serve some of the worst music and musicians when members of the other race are present. It is sad because we are building up the race for ridicule and no race can long survive ridicule and contempt. If we could do no better at would be different, but we can, and should try, to do better.

Out of an estimated total of 9904 convictions (San Francisco excepted), 5883 wee for reckless driving 804aos- 5883 were for speeding and 4021 were for reckless driving. In the Los Angeles courts, however, there were 1869 convictions for reckless driving, as against 524 for speeding, thus indicating that violations of the speed laws
occur most frequently in the less congested districts. Reports from rural districts for the month of March show a decided increase in arrivals due to the activities of the State highway traffic patrol.
Over 65,000 Give Incorrect Addresses Sacramento, March 27—Sixty-five thousand California motorists gave incorrect addresses when making application for 1924 automobile license plates. Will H. Marsh, chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles announced recently. Marsh stated this number of registration certificates had been returned to the offices of the division by the postal authorities, to date, as unclaimed.
The motor vehicle chief declared this responsible for failure of a large number of persons to receive their new plates and certificates. Some departments of the division are being "swamped" by this flood of returned mail, he added. Motorists who have not yet received their plates or certificates and who have moved since making application or have reason to believe the wrong addresses were given, were advised to write to the division giving the correct address.
"A requirement for registration was that the correct address should be noted on the old registration certificate when it was forwarded to this office", said Marsh. "No doubt many motorists sent these certificates, without writing in changes of address. The result has been delay and confusion as well as embarrassment to the motorist as our officers are now checking up on persons driving with old plates"

Reach Highest Mark In Ford Plant History
Detroit, March 25.—Swinging into its big spring production program, the Ford Motor Co. on March 12th, reached the highest mark in its history when its domestic assembly plants produced a total of 7456 cars and trucks. This record-breaking figure does not include the daily output of 500 cars nor the production of the Manchester, Eng. and Ford of Canada plants which manufacture most of their own products. The new production record is of especial significance as it indicates the enormous demand being made throughout the country for Ford cars and trucks and the company's endeavor to bring its output up to the point where it will attempt to fill all requirements and avoid repetition of the shortage which existed last spring when thousands of persons were appointed in not being able to secure delivery of cars.
Tex McKinney Meets Tragic Death
On last Saturday afternoon at about 4 o'clock p. m., Tex McKinney and a man named Brown, driving a garbage truck, attempted to cross te Santa Fe tracks at 25th and Santa Fe avenue ahead of a string of oil care which were backing up at this point. They figured they could make the crossing and, probably, could had the horses drawing the garbage not become friggenbed. When they realized their danger, both Mr. McKinney and Mr. Brown jumped for safety. Brown landed safe, but McKinney was caught and literally ground to a pulp. The remains were picked up piece by piece and put into a sack by the Smith and Williams Undertaking firm. A coroner's inquest was held on Tuesday.
