Stanford Univ.Draws Color Line TELEPHONE: 829-244 VOLUME 37 Stanford University Hides Behind "Color" Line The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or partially obscured document. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. 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.

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.

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.

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. The Master of the paint Hot Carrier creator, his 2 F Johannes, is a English $2.00 THE YEAR NO. 51 Line 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. (Continued in next page) VER SHOWN IN L.A.

Keys, well known business man, lost his pocket-book with quite a sum of money in it and some papers. He had given up in despair of ever receiving it, when one evening he received a telephone call from a woman to meet her at Ninth and Central avenue. He kept the appointment and she handed over the papers and papers intact. She would not accept any reward for her act, as Mr. Keys insisted she should take. The Eagle sought out her identity through indirect sources and found it was Mrs. Ida Isler, 540 John Street, Watts, Cal. Therefore don't say Watts has no honest people for we cite you the above. MISS VIOLA BROWN, GIRL EVANGELIST AT NEW HOPE CHURCH Those who were not present to hear Miss Veola Brown, noted girl evangelist as she spoke to the girls at New Hope Church on Sunday, April 6th, have missed one of the greatest opportunities of a life time.

CONCERT DeLUXE Certainly the most unusual and by far one of the most entertaining concerts of its kind to be given in Los Angeles in recent years, was offered at the First A. M. E. Curch by Prof. Elmer-C. Bartlett, director and organist of distinction, when he presented the children of that church and their friends last Tuesday evening. From the excellent results of this unique concert, Prof. Bartlett's fame will go for as a master in that line of work, for having achieved the impossible in the training children's voices. Little tots from six years of age and little boys from two months' time of Prof. Bartlett's batton, just as though they had been doing concert work all their lives, instead of a few months. Their work was even superior to the Girl's Chorus, which was saying a great deal both choruses are to sing at the Hollywood Bowl, Sunday afternoon, April 4th, in honor of music week. The Sunday school school Quartette, composed of Atwell Rose and Gertrude Freeman, well known violinists, and a score of other skillfully trained boys and girls, and to direction of Prof. Bartlett, added much seat and pep to the entire program, from the popular to Symphony concert numbers. They were very able assisted by Montrose Ballard, accompanist; Roena Muskeltroy, seprano soloist; Herbert Atwell Rose, violin soloist; Elizabeth Williamson, pipe-organ soloist; Katharine Bowers, piano soloist; Myrle Mina, reader; Dimples McPherson, central soloist; and little Herbert Jones, child wonder singer of Los Angeles. EASTER AT EL-SINORE, CAL. DINE AT REIVES' INN FROM 12:00 M. to 8:30 P. M. Fruit Cocktail Colery Olives Soup Roast Chicken and Dressing Fresh Foes Lettuce and Mashed Potatoes Rice and Tomatoes Rice and Ice Cream Olive In considering the Bond Issues, and in order to deal fairly with the proposition we are submitting a few fact to the voters for their attention and consideration. It is clear that the MUNICIPAL BUREAU OF POWER AND LIGHT has entangled itself in the mazy web of intrigue with reference to former bond issues. There have been some egregious blunders. We shall state the findings in the case and leave the conclusions to our readers. But we are confident that the public confidence has been abused and that there has been a breach of trust, inability to deal with public measure or willful neglect of official duty. The citizens of Los Angeles are chafing under the yoke of enormous debts and grinding taxation. Because of that fact we are strong in our denunciation of the proposed Power Bonds now being submitted to the voters for adoption. There is no justification for the twenty-one million dollar bond. Nor is there any excuse or defense for the proponents of such added expense in face of our actual indebtedness. Anyone who knows the history of our city cannot gainsay nor deny that we are burdened beyond our present strength and future hope as regards bonds. We are taxed to the limit of human strength and Christian toleration. Tax payers are sallow, nervous with exhaustion because of the heavy load which they are carrying. PAST RECORD CONDEMNS MUNICIPAL BUREAU OF POWER AND LIGHT The Municipal Bureau of Power and Light has not dealt fairly with the people of Los Angeles. In 1910 that body asked the voters to adopt measures whereby the sum of $3,500,000 might be raised by bond issue, promising to pay the interest and sur charges of the bonds out of earnings. This they failed to do. And in the same year taxes increased $2,275,812.50. In 1914 another bond issue $6,500,000 was voted on the promise that the amount would complete the work and earnings would take care of interest and bond carrying charges. It failed to do so and taxes increased, this time to $3,054,248. 75. In 1919 an additional bond issue of $13, 500,000 on the same old pledges with the same result. Taxes increased $1,137,375. The foregoing amounts represent a sum of $23,500,000 voted by the people of our City for the development and extension of power and light plants. On what grounds, under what pretext does this the Municipal Bureau of Power and Light ask for more bonds? Why should the citizens Statement of The Ownership, Management, Circulation, etc. Required by The Act of Congress of August 24, 1912, Of The California Eagle, published Weekly at Los Angeles, for April, 1924.

J. B. BASS, Editor of Los Angeles pledge further moneys for the support of projects which are supposed to have been completed in the past? What has been done with the money raised from the previous bond issues? What is the trouble? Is it with the people or the Power and Light Bureau? The past record condemns the Power and Light Bureau and the people of Los Angeles would not be justified in increasing its present indebtedness in face of the woeful failure of the Power and Light Bureau to furnish satisfactory accounts for moneys already raised. Such failures are impugned to a lack of ability to handle public funds, willful neglect of official duty, or betrayal of imposed confidence. Any of the above reasons would justify a refusal on part of the people to vote for the present bond issues. THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE FURTHER REASONS WHY THE BOND SHOULD NOT CARRY According to the records of the Committee of the Whole of the Board of Public Service Commissioners added reasons can be adduced for rejecting the bonds. It is in virtue the proposed contract between the City of Los Angeles and the Southern 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 Public Service Commissioners and is signed by those able champions, John W. Kemp, E. F. Scattergood and W. B. Matthews. Acting up on the advice and wisdom of the three men just mentioned the people of Los Angeles adopted the recommendation for the proposed bond issues. It was due to the confidence reposed, the belief in the ability of the men, the honesty 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 systems. 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 a substantial 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 bonded indebtedness? What has become of the $25,095,000.00 which was to represent the gain to the City of Los Angeles in the first ten years of the contract 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 sinking fund charges upon the entire bond issue of the City, both outstanding and proposed? Would not the cash surplus, together with accrued earnings provide ample funds to carry on the work expansion and extension? Why have we not derives of those systems as advocate Whole," especially since it was be immediately available and ing fund charges upon the er outstanding and proposed together with accrued earning on the work expansion and ex This organization shall w fight against the proposed Pterest demands that every vo consideration and on Tuesday complaint against the Power we not derived some income as advocated by the "early since it was averred the available and would pay it upon the entire bond issuance proposed?

An historic symposium relating to the growth and accomplishments of the local organization will be one of the most interesting features. The Pioneer N. A. A. C.

Washington, Topeka, Ka.; C. C. Link, Kansas City, and W. M. Odell, Topeka, Kan.; a prospective settler. The gentlemen were all acquainted with our head pressman, W. M. Solomon, having known him back in the old home town of Topeka, Kansas. What will always remain fresh in our memory was that on Thursday night at the conclusion of aumpuptious banquet given by the Hon. Oscar De Priest for the Press Association, we journeyed to the Elks' Hall with Grand Exalted Ruler Finley Wilson of Washington, D. C. Our application for membership had been presented at our home lodge, but tiring of waiting for a report on the same, we suggested to the Grand Exalted Ruler for the honor of joining the order, and of being initiated by no less a persaage than himself, he testified to the fact of his personal friendship with us for more than thirty years and said he would feel compulimented to do so. He granted Rock City Lodge of Nashville the authority under special dispensation to initiate. The doctor was on hand to examine us and we then and there were initiated into the battles here and had the distinguished honor of having conferred upon us the preliminary work of the degree of Past Exalter Ruler. Rock City Lodge will not soon forget the occasion, enthusiasm reached its highest peak when the new member addressed the body and methinks even unto this day we can hear the noisy demonstration which ensued: We have never met a finer body of men than those composing this body, within its membership are the most substantial and highly respected citizens of Nashville, such as Dr. Henry Allen Boyd, William Crutcher and others. The lodge has been in existence only since last June, and boasts of a membership of nigh unto 800. During our stay in the city the Press Association were guests one eveing to a minitel performance given by the talents of this local lodge and thousands were turned away because the largest opera House in town could not hold the crowd which sought to gain admittance. Throughout the Southland as in all other parts of the country, the Hiks are sweeping onward in numbers which are amazing. OSCAR De PRIEST'S BANQUET Thursday evening during the session as mentioned before the Hon. Oscar De Priest was host to the entire Press Association at which time a most elaborate banquet was served at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Among the speakers at the banquet were: Rt. Rev. Bishop A. J. Carey, Hon. Joseph Bibb, editor of the Chicago Whip, Dr. Tanner, eminent divine, pastor of Bethlehem A. M. E. Church of Chicago, and prominent candidate for behop; J. B. Bass, editor California Eagle; Dr. Henry Allen Boyd, of the National Baptist Publishing House and others. urday night we departed for the North arriving in Chicago Sunday, February 24th. And again took up our abode at the Wincennes hotel. SEEING CHICAGO Despite the fact of snow and sleet we took advantage of teh days in seeing Chicago. We visited many places of business, a few institutions and quite a few old friends. Among places visited was the Chicago Defender office, where the proprietor, Hon. R. B. Abbott escorted us through his collosal and magnificent plant, the most complete Negro newspaper plant in the world. It would take columns of space to describe it. We renewed acquaintance with the busy and genial staff, headed by the Hon. Phil Jones, ably backed by the only and inimitable, Toney Langston, the highest paid sport writer in the world. We indeed felt complimented for the courtesies received. We likewise visited the home of the Chicago Whip, and met the genial and affable and courteous wielder of the lash in that institution in the person of Hon. Joseph Bibb, who gave to us every courtesy that a visiting brother of the craft could expect. Especially did Mr. Bibb get out of his way to make our visit to him a pleasant one. We met his full staff of busy writers who are responsible for the rapid advancement of the Whip. We also visited the shabo of the National Negro Press Association whose destiny is presided over by that prince of news gatherers, at laround good fellows, and hustler. Claude A. Barnett. We found this a busy place indeed, and Mr. Barnett ably assisted by Mr. Braskear, Arthur W. Harris, and others, are certainly making good along the all important line of putting forth the news, worth while for racial advancement. We are indebted to this galaxy of newspaper men for many courtesies extended to us. (Continued next week) Do We Need More Police Stations to Handle In- Creasing Crime? Wednesday, April 23rd, George William Smith, 1355 Wilson street shot and dangerously wounded his wife, Clara Bell Smith, 1619 Redwood street at about 12 a.m. m. They have separated about seven months. Smith went to her house and awaited her coming home, then knocked at the door telling that the daughter, Amanda, who lived with her father was sick, and as she turned around to get her coat was shot with a .38 Winchester rifle using dum dum bullets. Smith threw the gun in the alley and fired in his Ford car. He was later apprehended at Pomona while trying to escape. Mrs Smith is dangerously wounded and no hope for her recovery is entertained by the surgeons at the hospital where she was sent when paralysis set in for an operation. Libertante Stevens and Garrort handled the case for the police department assisted by Green, Broady and Kimberly of Capt Glenn's squad. Arrangements have been d-initely settled whereby a tract of 366 acres within an hour's ride of Los Angeles have been secured and complete plans have been formulated for the construction on this property of a most up-to-date Country Club containing all the modern features such as golf course, tennis court, swimming pool, large and elaborate club house, ball park, children's playground and other recreational features. The golf course is to cover 23 acres, and a large section of the tract has also been set aside for rabbit sites. The opportunity to secure charter membership is now open according to the Membership Committee, and arrangements have been made whereby each charter member will receive clear title to an individual cabin site absolutely free in connection with this class of membership. An Advisory Board to consist of twelve or more members is now in formation and will include the names of isidore D. Blair, J. B. Bass and other leading citizens of this community. In order to secure the complete membership as rapidly as possible each office of the club have been established at seven different locations and complete information about the Club may be secured at any of these places as well as at the main office at 319 Grosse Building. The formation of the Peaceful Valley. Country Club can be considered as a great forward step in the development of Southern California as a playground for all people, and it will inevitably become the headquarters for all social activities as well as a gathering place of all who are interested in out-door sports and pastimes. The Membership Committee promises full details regarding all phases of the formation of the Peaceful Valley Country Club within a few days, but urges all interested parties to act immediately if charter memberships are desired as there are only a limited number of cabin sites available. 4.

Colored folk for the most part have been the victims of the mob violence of which these lynchings were the lawless fruit. The National Association for the advancement of Colored People has striven intelligently and persistently to build up sentiment in repression of an evil that in itself was a mon strous wrong and a national disgrace. Undoubtedly a great change has been wrought north and south in the public's attitude toward mob violence, but the evil has not yet been extirpated. Lynchings is no longer advocated or defended, but the methods employed for punishing it when it occurs remains defective. The change in public sentiment is accurately appraised by the January Current History magazine, in which it is stated: "Whereas lynching was condoned so little as 15 years ago by newspaper editors, and even by clergymen in the pulpit, no reputable man in public life would now dare to utter such sentiments." The change is emphasized by editorials in such thoroughly representative southern newspapers as the Atlanta Journal, that expresses its gratification at the reduction in the number of lynchings as "encouraging evidence of an increasing morality." The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, founded by Booker T. Washington, through its excellent department of records and research, year by year dispassionately has presented all the ascertainable facts concerning lynchings. It finds that there were 28 lynchings in 1923 as against 57 in 1922, and that "there were 46 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings". All but two of those lynched last year were Negroes and two of the Negroes were women. Among the definitely ascertained causes given for mob violence were "cattle stealing", "trying to act like white men and not knowing is place" "striking man in an altercation" etc. Relatively few lynchings were attributed to that crime which in past years has been designated as the cause of mob violence. Viewed relatively, the record shows social and moral improvement. Viewed absolutely, it indicates the need of just such federal legislation as has been sought from congress, by which communities that tolerate lynching would be made to pay, a highly deterre ntpenalty.—L. A. Express. "If I get religion I must give up all pleasures, company and things I like." If that is true, it is plain evident that you are not living the life that leads to comfort and happiness. ject to wear and decay. Have you the promise of another?

When he is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something; he has been put on his wits, on his manhood; he has gained facts; learns his ignorance; is cured of the insanity of conceit; as got moderation and real skill. The wise man always, throws himself on the side of his assailants. It is more his interest than it is theirs to find his weak point—Emerson. dohuty ype- death dsll- fa al in mbb CLIPPINGS We often hear the expression, "I can serve the Lord and pray at home as well as at church". This may be true, providing you are an invalid or paralysed. We can only serve him by obeying His commandments and doing His work. The Master's work cannot be confined to any limited space, it is universal. To neglect the Church is like the man with the one talent that he hid in the ground. In this world one can live for himself alone. He that does so, lives in darkness; seeth not the light, knows not the joy and happiness that spring from union with the Church of God, and its servants. If you desire food for thought, nourishment for the soul; unite with the Church; if you are seeking strength and encouragement, attend the prayer meeting. If you study the Scriptures and desire explanation or information, join the Bible Class. To serve the Master and do His work, act in the light that the world may see and sing His praises. W. A. H. EXCLUSIVE WHITES BAR NEGRO HOME SEEKER New Orleans, La., April 22. (By The Associated Negro Press)—The prospect of a house in a fashionable neighborhood being sold to a Negro has stirred considerable excitement in the uptown section. Ed Michelet, a white real estate agent is about to sell to an colored man, a place of properly valued at $4,500. White residents have taken on the matter to the city attorney who has decided that the Louisiana law requires a Negro desiring to go into a neighborhood inhabited by a majority of white people to acquire the written consent of a majority of whites. This the whites refuse to give. Other real estate agents have been cided to throw off all commissions and endeavor to sell the property to a white person. TUSKEGEE OUT FOR ATHLETIC "BOWL" Tuskegee, Ala., April 14—(By the Associated New Press). The general alumnus association of Tuskegee assumed the responsibility of 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. JACK SHIELDS FURNITURE STORE 216 West Main Street WATTS, CALIF.

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.

Heath, head of the traffic bureau, announced yesterday. A motorist in the second line of traffic on the left will be permitted to turn to the left. The same rule will apply to motorists in the second line on the right. Arrest will follow violation of the rule, Capt. Heath said. Estimates of experts that 90 per cent of the spreading of the hoof-and-mouth disease is done by human beings and motor vehicles have elicited the keenest interest of motorists in preventive measures. The stict quarantine measures enforced, which constantly are being made more drastic have brought the public, to realize that this epidemic among cattle affects the economic welfare of every resident of the State. The seriousness of the situation has forced individuals to recognise the rights of public policy, and emphasized the fact that it is up to everyone to aid in combating the disease. From the report of the first case in this section the Automobile Club of Southern California has been actively co-operating with the authorities in fighting the epidemic. Branch managers of the organization in twenty-nine cities have been kept in close touch with every department: the touring bureau has given out the latest-traveling information; the public safety department has sent out warnings; the sign posting department has placarded the closed road and placed warning signs for quarantine dips; the news department has been supplying bulletins to the papers, and the entire organization has devoted its energies to organizing the 600,000 motorsats of Southern California into a solid phalanx for lighting this dreaded malady. For the first time, instead of pointing out the beauties of Southern California touring, the club urges motorists to refrain from pleasure driving, especially in the neighborhood of the infested districts. It has called upon them to be cheerful under the annoyance, delays and possible damage to care through the use of disinfectant a necessary in fighting the epidemic. It is pointed out that California fans must exercise the same control and self sacrifice as during the World War, for an unseen and little understood foe has attacked the prosperity of the State. Uleas this ruthless en- emy is conquered promptly it may bring ultimate ruin to agriculture and commerce. In view of the serious monsoon, the Auto Club is using its members and every motorist in the State of California to co-operate in the rainy content with the authorities, in stamping out the heat and drought damage. Here are some facts that will indicate the importance of the diversions, per, civic organizations and public generally organization into a solid lavant as in to war-time to eliminate this little-known but virulent and costly disease. California will not be considered clean from a sanitary and quarantine standpoint until three months after the last infection has been obliterated. Hence, it is apparent that the excess everyone co-operates in the work of elimination, the sooner quarantine will be lifted. The only highways open in Los Angeles county today are main thoroughfares. Person travelling these must expect disinfection of care and in some cases fumigation of themselves, with the resultant delay and annoyance. CARRY GERMS In the pinion of those who have had extensive experience in similar outbreaks of this disease, 80 per cent of the infection is spread by human carriers. This is the reason that it has been absolutely necessary to impose such stringent quarantine regulations and request the co-operation of the public in preventing the dissemination to the infection. It is important that your organization take steps to discourage all unnecessary travel until the situation is more favorable." The situation in surrounding counties is much as it is in Los Angeles county. The most drastic quarantine is established in layo county where rigid disinfection has been established by the county officials. All car, persons, baggage and personal effects must be fumigated at Little Lake. This will cause a delay of two to four hours. The Associated Chambers of Commerce of layo county region the Automobile Club of Southern California and other organizations to discourage all travel into Owens Valley during the life of the epidemic. In Ventura county nineteen county roads and trails have been closed and strict quarantine is being maintained. Orange county maintains quarantine stations on the line and these roads are congested at the county line. Riverside county is maintaining strict quarantine. M. Frederick Mitchell, Pastor Last Sunday marked one year of faithful service by our church. The church in its every department represents healthy growth. Starting one year ago in a tet, now we have a neat church edifice. The invisible growth is more pronounced than that can be seen from without.

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. Some of those who took part in those first years are now young men and women of whom the community is proud.

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.

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.

The extending of our choir stand made it possible to add our hundred voiles as a standard choir. An efficient work is being accomplished under the leadership of director Pitts. Holt, Ministera, Officera, Mem- bers and Friends By Mrs. S. W. Daniela GROWTH Seven years ago it was rumored that a gospel giant had arrived in town from the land of the red man, Tupa, Okla., that he was called to the pastorate of St. Paul Baptist Church, located on 23rd street between Hooper and Compton avenues. About two months afterwards it was our pleasure to attend services there; anzoms to see, this big Preacher. From our pew we could only see two ministers wondering which could it be, when the preliminaries ended, there arose one from the center chair being small in stature; was hid by the pulpit, he began to sing. We decided this must be he, we were disappointed in size; but ```markdown ``` men's Dist. Convention; Mrs. Beatrice Johnson, Pres. of Dist. S. S. Convention; Dr. Venerable, of Mp.; Rev. banks; Hon. W. O. Tyler; Mr. Fred M. Roberts, Assemblyman, Rev. A. J. Williams and many others, who came to do us honor. It is needless to say that Pastor Holt was Completely, outwitted and otherwise surprised. The program that followed was a tribute to pastor and wife for the splendid service rendered in these seven years. At the close of the program, many valuable presents were given them together with a handsome purse of some fifty tollars. These came from the following departments: Sunday School, B. Y. P. U., Old Reliable section, Willing and Ready, Ever Loyal, True and Tried, Armor Bearers, Progressive. HOLT, D. D. ch, Los Angeles, California as he unfolded those Bible truths, amid the shouts of those assembled we were reminded that fine goods are usually put up in small packages. Finding 12 persons at his first service failed to discourage him; in less than two years the building was too small. The lot next to the church was purchased to build a more desirable house of worship. While working to that end a business meeting of importance was called. All responded eager to see what the object of the call would be. A faithful shearpard always cares for his sheep, and will lead them where pastures are green, therefore, at the appointed time. Pastor Holt told them some time previous he knew the Christian Church at 21st and Naomi, our present site, would find other quarters, so he slipped a note in their mail box asking for consideration. When they made a decision, Trusting him who doeth all things well, some months later he received the consideration asked for, and now after bringing to them the good news ad glad tidings, he now wanted their vote and support. Recovering from the pleasant surprise they wanted to know if that small body could assume the responsibility, being assured by Pastor Holt, that with God as captain, all things were possible, the agreement was made and on the first Sunday in July, 1019, held S. S. on 23rd st., where they fell in line and marched down 23rd to Naomi, and Naomi to 21st. Here they entered singing "Onward Christian Soldiers" and praising God that at last they could worship Him in the beauty of holiness in the First ```markdown ``` the city. Since that time there are two more. We are safe in saying more than 4000 have passed this way and still a faithful few remain. Alas, I know you have been how it is so much is being said of the pastor and nothing of his better half. The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. Being deprived of his sainted mother at the early age of ten, he made it as best he could under a tender father's care, securing an education as very few would today under the same conditions. Finally reaching manhood and realizing how difficult it was to face various problems without advice, he sought the hand of Miss Georgia Alice Reed in marriage and for the past 26 years has been blessed with a successful pastorate. Having God for his guide and the madam Holt for his counsellor, how could he fall. This union was blessed with four children of which two now survive. Aside from being lights in the home they are of valuable service in the church and community life. Five years ago Pastor Holt was elected Moderator of the W. B. A., the largest organization ofologists on this side of the Rockies, being the first Moderator to hold office as long. Not because of the love entirely that they hold for him but the program he has given and the effective work that has been accomplished under his leadership. When he accepted this call his good people in Oklahoma had given him a leave of absence for two years. He has served five years overtime, but St. Paul's call has been indefinite therefore, no one can tell when he will return. We're proud of our pastor for many reasons. As a minister of the Gospel he has equals but no superior. Call him at midnight, or unexpectedly upon any occasion, do not fear, when he finishes the duty assigned all will be well. Give him a cause to be thrown among lawyers and doctors, they're astonished by his knowledge. As a professor of higher mathematics, history, English and various subjects. The school records of Oklahoma will show that he esigned to some West and an open door awaits his return. As a farmer he has succeeded. You may say these doors are closed to him here and if he is out of a pulpit, fail he must. Let him don his cap and overalls, take his carpenter's tools and he walks out a finished carpenter and cabinet maker. A stranger may say with these qualities he must be puffed up. He has time to hear the cries of the smallest child, considered and help the aged, who has such little place in this busy world today. There are others who seek his advice when down and out; but when helped to their feet again, like the snake almost frozen, the man took in his bosom when he became warm attempted to thrust his sting into him. These ungrateful ones attempt the same, then even then, he looks up with a smile and asks their Father to forgive them for they know not what they do. We trust the officers will not feel that all credit has been given to one. We know a pastor depends upon the support of officers and members. All in one accord willingly to render, service for the Master. Therefore dear hearers, we turn from cur regular evening services to give a few words of praise while they may be heard and a few tokens while they may be appreciated. I close in the words of the poet. Better to hope, though the clouds hang low. And to keep the eyes still lifted; For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through When the ominous clouds are lifted. There was never a night without a day Nor an evening without a morning And the darkest hour, the proverb goes Is the hour before the dawning.

"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. 150 Miles of Travel, visiting famous Mission Inn at Riverside, Emiley Heights at Redlands and Other Points of Interest.

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. D. C. MITCHELL W. J.

Church was a tremendous success. The show was conducted under the careful guidance of Mrs. Sadie Wright of 1699 Flake avenue. Mrs. Wright sacrificed in many ways to her affair over. She is very much satisfied with the results and is again breathtaking normally. At the praise of the Fashion Pageant should be given to Mrs. Wright alone. Music was worthily furnished by a fine six piece orchestra durnig the evening. The first number on the program was "The Old Fashion Garden" featuring Mrs. Saddle Holt and Mr. Leroy Mims. About a dozen charming Pasadena ladies and young Misses were dressed to represent a particular flower to the name of each flower was faded to the smiling face representing that the effect was very sweet and alluring. The next number was the song, "If I were as young as I used to be," sung by the charming little Miss Edna Turner. She was accompanied by a half dozen smaller children each quantitly dressed in little grey costumes. A drill was next given, portraying stutes for children from 3 to 12. Each little tot received its share of aplause as the spot light followed its tripping little figure. Appropriate play, school, street, and school logs were illustrated by also unifying young ladies wearing the unifying Pasadena High school. Some wore the white skirts and some the blue. They carried books and tennis racquets. The child toggery was illustrated by the very commendable work of Mrs Ethel Miller Thomas. A beautiful vocal solo "Th e Nightinale" by Penn, was next rendered by Mrs. Bruce L. Watkins. That Mrs. Watkins gave complete justice to this piece will be agreed upon by all. Sweet but simple little moring dresses were next staged advertising the handwork of Mrs. J. M. Rhodes. Miss Anna Louise, Pric egave a reading in a manner showing that she had spent much time on it. Mrs. Louise models made an impressive effect as she in turn made her graceful appearance on the stage. Each style of dress showed little Mrs. Mime' excellent taste. Sport and stitte togs were next illustrated exhibiting appropriate styles for the summer. Miss Wright, a popular young lady of Los Angeles, created quite a pleasant sensation as she exhibited her chic little three piece sport suit, consisting of coat, skirt and knickers. Charming miscellaneous styles were put on by Mme. B. Parker of Los Angeles. Following this, one of the best features of the show came on. This was, correct styles for men illustrated by Mr. John Hoke in a good-looking suit made by Mr. John King, followed by overwriting the work of Mr. Eugene Walker. The next number on the program was a trombone solo by Laurence Brown. As we all know Mr. Brown cannot be equalled on the trombone. Two of the biggest features of the Fashion Pazent were the exhibition of the wonderful gown and wrap by the well known Mrs. Chas. D. Conner of Los Angeles, and an equally wonderful gown by Mrs. Rowan, also of Los Angeles. These two ladies made the most beautiful figures imaginable as they gracefully stepped about the stage. A beautiful vocal duett was next rendered by Mesdames Hoke and Thomas. Sweet and dainty styles suitable for a garden party were shown by some of Pasadena's most attractive ladies. A unique little skit illustrating afternoon frocks was put on by five of the popular young girls. As excellent reading by Mr. John Holte came next on the program, Mrs. Appreciated greatly by the audience. A reception portraying correct evening apparel with Mrs. Sadie Holt as hostess was a delightful affair. Mrs. Holt made a very charming hostess. Mrs. Mimms dressed in the costume of a bride made her appearance at this reception graciously received by Mrs. Holt. Last but not least, our Great West or Quartette sang a good night song which completed the program "Fashions Show" still fingers on the lips of many Pasadenians, as it was such a success, and Mrs. Sadie Wright wisdom to thank all those who helped with such lovely costumes succeed them. and friend is very much pleased. Very impressive services were held by Rev. Brown Sunday morning in the afternoon. Rev. Young, of the Friendship Baptist Church spoke on "The Triumphal Entry" a Palm Sunday sermon. The choir of the Friendship Baptist sang beautiful and inspiring songs in a like manner. Rev. Burton, the benevolent pastor of the Pomona hurch, gave a short address in the evening, after which the rally was completed and the results given. Twenty three hundred dollars was realized for that day, so there is no wonder that Rev. Brown was all smiles. Between the Christian Endeavor and the Sunday School about $250 was taken in, showing the ever, growing enthusiasm of the young people. At the last trally, three months ago, $0.021 brought in, by the enthusiasm and passion of our friend and pastor Rev. Brown, these rallies have been a wonderful success. Also the spiritualalmammal in the church is telt among the members and on the whole, the First A. M. E. Church is prosperous wonderfully. The Baby Contest, which took place Saturday evening, April 12th at the First A. M. E. Church was rather another of the successful events of the week. The contest was given for the benefit of the rally under the care of Meadames Summer and Parker who took great interest in it. It has been on foot to rsome months. The baby for whom the most tickets were sold was that of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Morgan of 936 Kirkwood avenue. The sum brought in was $1.45. Mr. and Mrs. brought in bowy of 948. The avenue was next and Mrs.omb mb mh avenue was next, bringing in $1.00. The babies of Mr. and Mrs. Obed Prince, Mr. and Mrs. Schaffner, and Mr. and Mrs. Harrison brought in excellent results. The total amount was $33.00 even. OLGA HARRIS MONROVIA The dedicatory services of the Seco and Baptist Church at Monrovia of which Rev. C. H. Davis is pastor, Sunday before last was a wonderful success both numerically and financially. The order of the day was very systematically carried out according to pre-arranged plans. After a processional by the choir, scripture was read by Rev. R. H. Wade, Missionary of Western Baptist Association of oweal of a condition by church prayer was offered by Rev. Venerable of St. Louis, after which Rev. W. A. Lockett gave a welcome address in half of the church, responded to by Rev. W. M. Dickerson, corresponding secretary of Western Baptist Association. A jubilee was sung by choir which created quite a furrer of excitement. Address by Rev. Win. Prince of the A. M. E. Church representing Duarte. A brief history of church was made by Deacon Burleson who has been with the church since its inception. In his remark he related the hardship through which they held up such work. From two members they have increased their number to 60 or more who by their concerted efforts have erected a $6500 house of worship. The construction of this building was carried out by the Rev. Davis, who being a concrete contractor, and a corps of workmen under his charge who volunteered their service for one day that God's house might be erected. These men are to be complimented for their work which is exceptional. Rev. Davis, the pastor, is an exceptional young man with qualifications that stand in contrast which means that for his involvement. All auxiliaries of the church are working in unison with the following persons as their heads. J. T. Bogby, ast. pastor; Elimine Enge, B. Y. P. U. priest; Ell Wobbs. Treas. church; J. H. Jenkins, Bld. fund Treas. Monrovia city election has passed into history, the entire ticket of the progressives were elected as follows: Thomas Hayes and A. P. Daniels were elected to the city council, Mrs. A. Monroe, city treasure and Lewis P. Black, city clerk. All of these are more or less friendly to the people of our race. Mrs. L. Bedney of Santa Ana, is in the city stopping her sister, Mrs. Frank Adams, at 230 E. Maple avenue. She will spend the summer here. The Monrovia Women's Community Club met Monday night and completed their plans for the cooked food sale to be held at the Charlotte st. school in the near future. This club is proving itself to be a real asset to our group for civic improvement and assisting to make conditions better for our children in the schools here are carried out it will manifest itself as a great factor where a limited number of our people are living, is becoming over organized. Where one organization could do practically all that is necessary along quite a number of lines we are having two or three. All due to the fact that everybody wants to be a leader. This kind of organization turns out to be either a consipiling cancer or a stubbling block to real organizations. Miss-Nannie Burroughs, president of the Lincoln: Heights School for girls, once said in speaking in reference the many organizations of people, that we ought to "stop the starters and start the stoners." Easter Sunday was celebrated largely here last Sunday. Both churches observed the day with appropriate services, and the Sunday schools were splendid. M. W. D. Hollis delegate to the General Conference of the M. N. B. Church which will meet in itself annually, next month is expected to commence on the Mt. An enormous crowd attended the playlet "Miss Cherry Blossom", given at Mt. Zion Baptist Church Thursday evening, April 19th. It was beautifully staged and arranged. Each actor played well his part and dressed their act right up to date. Bynopsis of Playlet Miss Evelyn Barnes of American parents born in Japan, whose parents died of fever and she was born as a Japanese maiden. Her father's secretary used up her property for own selfish ends. When Evelyn, who is known as Cherry Blossom is about eighteen, Worthington, the secretary, returns to Japan on his yacht with a party of Americans. One of them, John Henry Smith wishes to marry Cherry Blossom, but Kokemoe, who has brot her up as his own daughter wants her to marry "Togo" a rich politician. The action of the playlet centers around Jack's efforts to outdo Togo and Kokemo. Eventually Cherry Blossom learns her real identity, marries Jack and all ends will. The above was interestingly brought out by these young boys and girls. Cast of characters Miss Cherry Blossom... Mile Robinson Kokemo...

At the morning services the pastor gave an Easter service and the interring child a vacation. St. Andrews, the historic church was crowded all day. At the evening service the people were turned away. The juvenile vested chair, directing of Mrs. Geo. Dunley, made its initial appearance Sunday morning, and so well did they "carry on" that folk were anxious for them to continue; the Sunday school had a great program and many happy children. The pastor gave the Easter sermon. In the evening when no more could get in the doors were closed, and the Junior choir direction Mrs. J. H. Walker, rendered the cantata "The Crucified." The numbers were well received and enthusiastically given. Mrs. H. O. Johnson was at the piano. All in all it was the best day historic St. Andrews ever had. FRESNO FRESNO Society and the ultra fashionable set were both surprised and pleased this week when Miss Ann Dixon and William Arthur Bigy, Jr., were united in marriage on last Saturday at high noon at the Louis A.

Upon their return they will take possession of their commodious possessions, which have been planned in their honor upon their return, the largest of which will be presented over by the groom's possession over two hundred cars to a reception. The honor and distinction which Mr. W. C. Mushel bears as a member of the City Council has been won and sustained by his unswerving devotion to civic and economic needs of our City. Los Angeles has never had in her Councilmanic Chamber a more thorough or capable representative than Mr. Mushel. His anxiety for us at this time is shown by the splendid article which he contributed to the Los Angeles Times in an effort to summarize the financial standing of our City. Councilman W. C, Mushet, chairman of the City Council's Finance Committee and formerly City Auditor, has issued a thorough and comprehensive statement on the finances of the Los Angeles city government. Through the courtesy of our most splendid Councilman, Mr. W. C. Mushet, we are reproducing that article for the benefit of our people. 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 power bonds spell destruction to the program of the Board of Education for providing needed schools for thousands of children. Councilman Mushet is the acknowledged financial expert of the City Council, and is the Councilman who, single-handed, successfully fought the Power Bureau's attempted secret discount sale of the $13,500,000 electric bonds to Irving H. Hellman and thereby saved the taxpayers $2,000,000. Mushet's statement is as follows: Question: What limit does the law put on the bonding capacity of the city of Los Angeles? Answer: It limits the bonded indebtedness to 15 per cent of the assessed value of taxable real and personal 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 limitations? A.: The only market that can absorb large issues such as the city of Los Angeles put out is that of New York, Margoubette and Connecticut 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 cent of the assessed valuation. Q.: What is the assessed valuation? A.: $996,950,520. Q.: What does 15 per cent of this amount fixed by law as the "bonding capacity" amount to? A.: $149,542,578. Unpaid Bonds Q.: How many bonds have been authorized and sold and are at present unpaid? A.: $80,426,837.50. Q.: What is the present bonding capacity of the city? A.: $69,115,740.50. Q.: Is this bonding capacity encumbered in any way? A.: Yes, the following bonds have been authorized but not sold: Harbor improvement bonds, $10,000,000; Library bonds, $1,438,000; City Hall bonds, $5,000,000; Playground bonds, $1,000,000; Viaduct bonds, $1,500,000; Sewer bonds, $4,000,000. Total $22,938,000. Q.: What is the present unencumbered bonding capacity of the city? A.: $46,177,740.50. Q.: Does this include outstanding bonds for school districts-$30,471,392; Flood control districts, $3,796,700; Municipal improvement districts, $5,062,000. Total $39,240,101? ```markdown ``` der the New York law as the legal security for eastern savings banks? A.: In April, 1923, the State of New York agreed to double our assessed valuation and they exempt our water debt, but they add to the bonds sold by the City Council those sold by other authorities; to wit: School districts, $80,471,392; Flood control districts, $3,706-769; Municipal 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 for Los Angeles, which they consider legal security for eastern savings banks of $44,306,156.85. Q. Is this amount-$44,306,156.85, the bonding capacity or the unencumbered bonding capacity? A.: The bonding capacity. If you deduct those bonds authorized but not yet sold amounting to $22, 938,000-the unencumbered bonding capacity under the laws of the State of New York, in spite of the fact that they have doubled our assessed valuation, is only $21, 368,156.85-So that any sales in the East in excess of this bonding capacity is illegal for savings banks, and, therefore, a market will have to be found elsewhere at probably a higher rate of interest. Q.: Should outstanding bonds for schools, flood control and municipal improvement districts be considered when considering the bonding capacity of the city? A.: The proposed new charter specifically provides that "the indebtedness of any borough or other special local district or of the Los Angeles City School District shall not be included in computing the debt limit." There is no such specific exemption in the present charter. Debt Limit 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 since the proposed new charter provides that "whenever 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 majority of the voters voting thereon at an election, be excluded from the debt limit." Q.: What bonds are to be submitted to the voters of Los Angeles in May and June? A. Schools, $34,640,000; flood control, $35,900,000; power, $21,000,000; water, $8,000,000; fire, $400,000; bridges, $1,000,000; police, $1,600,000 $102,540,000 Q.: Has the request of the City Engineer for $20,000,000 for street improvements been considered? A.: Yes-that is to be taken up later, since it covers only a part of the program. Q.: Are there competitive existing agencies that could handle our power and light problem under the regulations of the State Railroad Commission and the Board of Public Utilities? A.: Yes—the Edison Company and the Los Angeles Gas and Electric Company. Street Problem Q.: Could these agencies handle our street problem? A.: No-that is a matter for the city alone to handle. Q.: Will the bond market absorb the $22,938,000 already authorized and the $102,540,000 asked for as above? A.: Probably yes, even though the legal bonding capacity be exceeded, but the bond buyer would expect to be paid for the extra risk by any extra rate of interest, $100,000,000 forty-year serial bonds at 5 per cent would cost in interest along $102,500,000, but at 6 per cent the same bonds would cost $123,000,000, or 1 per cent increase in rate of interest would cost the tax- THERE CAN BE NO EASTER WITHOUT CALVARY The Christian world is observing the culminating week in the life of Jesus—the week of the entrance into Jerusalem, of the last supper, of the garden agony, the trial, the cross and the tomb. Beyond it lies Easter, the day of faith confirmel and hope renewed. But there can be no Easter without Calvary, no resurrection without the cross. Jesus brought into this world the idea of God. "After that John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee preaching the gospel of God", the good news of God. The people welcomed the good news. Their religious leaders had not told them of the God whom Jesus preached. The Jehovah of their dogmas was a legalistic and nationalistic delity; the God whom Jesus talked about was a God of love and justice and inclusive fatherhood. He was the God whom the prophets of ancient Israel had proclaimed in its hours of supreme inspiration, and for whose truth it had suffered persecution. Jesus talked of a God who was much less concerned about religious observances and ecclesiastical policy and theological formulae than He was about developing in men and women whose spiritual possibilities which would secure for them the full measure of their rich inheritance as His children. This is what the service of God in a human world meant for Jesus, and He had no use for anything which stood in its way. There were many obstacles. Some of them were religious, at least in name; others were economic, social and political. The wrong-heartedness of the individual, his failure to understand wherein lay the full satisfaction of his nature, was at the bottom, the trouble. But where this individual sin had become a part of the system, rooted and ramifying in creeds, and customs and governments, the obstacle was greatest and the disturbing effect of the teaching of Jesus brought the most stubborn and violent reaction. It was out of this situation that the cross came inevitably. Jesus believed in the ultimate triumph of the good news about God and the power of spiritual forces—the latent spiritual forces in the souls of men, emancipated by truth, and transforming the life of the individual and of society. He would appeal to no other power. His conviction was that God could be linked to man thru faith and love, and so the great work of human redemption could be accomplished. And those who represented systems with which self interest, as they saw it, was inseparably associated, felt and feared the revolutionary influence of this teaching. When they seized Jesus, in a panic of apprehension, they phrased their most telling complaint against him in the charge, "He stirneth up the people" He was a disturber. This good news about God envisaged quite another world from that which spelled privilege, authority, exploiting opportunity for the systems of the day. Jesus did not resist the cross. He accepted it. He made no effort to escape it. Had he resisted, had He attempted flight, it would have been to confess that His faith failed in the truth. He had preached, the ultimate triumph of God's good news through the power of Spiritual forces. On this fundamental principle He was unmoved by all pressure and temptation to compromise. Avoidance of the cross would have meant the tragic collapse of His mission. Acceptance of it meant the tragic collapse of His mission. Acceptance of it meant its triumph. He went to Calvary unshaken in His faith that the victory would yet be won thrue those spiritual forces upon which He had relied. Jesus and His message survived the cross. They are today the disturbers of self-centered lives; of whatever there is in church or state, in the social, or economic order, which hinders the realization of God's thought for man. And the gospel of God makes progress in the measure in which those who profess belief in it accept the program and the method of Jesus, even when they lead to the cross.

SELECTED AS NATIONAL COMMITTEE WOMAN Atlanta, Ga., April 23. (By the Associated Negro Press)—Mrs. Mamie Williams, of Savannah, Ga., has been selected as Republican national committee woman from Georgia at the session this week of the "Garce" Republican State committees. Henry Lincoln Johnson and Ben Davis, were selected delegates at large to the National Republican convention. "Two white men, were also given honors." 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? WHERE TO ATTEND CHURCH NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH Paloma SC. near 18th. Rev. A.

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. WILLIAM O. TYLER.

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.

ALBERT BAUMANN DRUGGIST Phone Main 6064 NINTH AND CENTRAL 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 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. WEST SIDE MISSION A. M. E. CHURCH 1809. W. 380th St. Major G. W. Priehau, Pastor 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. Mrs. Mamie King and son, Leslie U. are house guests of Major and Mrs. Priokau. Mrs. King will be glad to see her many friends. She is here for a few days only.

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. WALL ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH E 8th and Wall Streets Elder F. C. Cothran, Pastor Our services Lord's day were unparalleled.

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. Sunday will be international boys 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.

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.

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 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. -. CLUB HOUSE MOVEMENT ENDORSED.

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. ‘ing to Charles Satchell Morris,. 3t., ‘who hes just retured to this city af ‘ter an 18 months’ tour in wsich he ‘covered 23 states and the District of Columbia, the .states including all of those South. ” Mr. Morris tdok issue in ‘his state- ments with those who complain that the Negro’s lot th the far South would not be so bad if he had the back bone to stand up for what he wanted. “My experiences during this trip have been a distinct revelation to me". asserted the. orator. “I had looked, despite the fact that my own home is in Norfolk, Va., to find a people brok: en in bothbody and spirit, fighting half-heartedly and vainly against per: secution. The stories I had. heard of Mississsippi, of Florida, of Alabama, of Georgia, of South . Carolina, and’ the other states of the so-called black! belt, had led me-to believe that the Negro in those districts did not stand up for his rights as does the black man in the North and in the border states such. as Virginia, Kentucky, Messouri. .

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.

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.

M. 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.

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. Everybody will be there!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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. Rev. E. E. Lightner, Pastor Easter Sunday will be a full day at this church. The exercises by the Sunday school will be held at the regular Sunday school hour, which is 9:30 a.m. The pastor will bring a special Easter message at the morning service. In the afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, there will be a great platform Mass meeting in which many of the churches and pastors of the city will take part. The great singing, Evangelist, Win. 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.

FREY BAPTIST CHURCH Furling Tract Rev. A.-T. Hines, Pastor. Our services on last Lord's Day were strikingly impressive, the pastor filled the pulpit at both the morning and evening services. At 5:00 clock the union met with younger people. The devot. was led by the younger people. The LOS ANGELES, CAL. 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.

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 LIBERTY BUILDING LOAN ASSOCIATION Authorized Guarantee Capital Stock $100,000.00 Guarantee Capital Stock and Membership Shares Actually Subscribed $301,650.00 0—00—0 OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS WILBUR C.

He was converted, baptized and united with the First African Baptist Church at Philadelphia, Pa., in 1888, and has lived a consistent Christian life. He came to Pasadena, Cal., in October, 1907 and united with the Friendship Baptist Church, serving on the Board of Deacons for about 15 years. He died April 6, 1924 and leaves two sons, two daughters in law and other relatives in Pennsylvania to mourn his loss. The funeral services were held at the Friendship Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Mrs. Ida H. Ford was mistress of ceremonies. The singing by the Cholr, the solo by Prof. Reynolds, and the sermon by Rev. J. Madison Young were indeed very comforting to the family as well as the scripture reading by Rev. Brown of the A. M.

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. Division of Motor Vehicles.

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" California And Ohio Sell Most Used Motor Cars St. Louis, April 7.—California and Ohio led all States in the total sales of used automobiles in the first three months of 1924, says the National Automobile Dealers' Association in bulletins which were, put into circulation here day, California and Ohio also reported to lowest percentage of dealers who had not made any sales in the same period.

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.
