CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE-RACES GREATEST VIOLENT-PHARHARMONIC AUDITORIUM, WEDNESDAY EVE, MAY 15 ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE CALIFORNIA EAGLE PEOPLES FORUM ~ SUNSHINE ~ FLOWERS ~ OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROGRESS FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP~ NO MAN DOWN TELEPHONE: 829-244 A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL $2.00 THE YEAR VOLUME 38 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MAY 2, 1924 NO. 1 VOTE THE COOLIDGE WAY I The President of the Lincoln League of America, which organization brought to Chicago such a notable galaxy of men and women in the public eye is no less a person than the brilliant creator, statesman, scholar, and intellectual genius, Colonel Roace Conkling Simmons. We acknowledge a friendship and a loyal one of many years. There are those who speak ill of him as they do of many who achieve greatness; but we have never heard him speak ill of any man. And he has attested this loyalty and devotion by deeds and not words. We were among the many who partook of the hospitality of his imposing mansion, 2353 Indiana Avenue, and spent many happy hours in his company, which were hours of hope and inspiration. The esteem in which he is held by the people of America is best attested by the hundreds of invitations piled upon his desk of all times to deliver addresses in all parts of the country. He has charge of one department of Central Headquarters for the Coolidge Campaign Committee and maintains a suit of offices in the Wrigley Building adjacent to those occupied by Mr. Butler who is the political manager for the president. The extreme courtesy appreciated to the writer by the Colosseo and the entire personnel of the organization will always be treasured in memory's arm. No small part of the success of the Coolidge campaign for nomination is due to Col. Reece Simmons whose advice, counsel and service were always sought. He is a real leader, bright spot and credit in the race. ```markdown ``` Luncheon at Blue Lantern Includes Club Woman, Police Officials and Wives of Local Pastors Mrs. Morgan Robinson Chief of Police, August Vollmer Dr. Marion Tincie Whiting Proposition number five on the May election ballot was enthusiastically endorsed by members of the Federated Colored Women's Club and the wives of the Negro pastors of Los Angeles at a luncheon given by Mrs. Morgan Robinson, police woman, at the Blue Lantern inn Friday. The proposition, calls for a bond issue of 11,800,000 for additional police equipment, was explained by Chief of Police August Vollmer, who asked for "the absolute confidence of the people of the community in the detection of crime. Dr. Marion Tracle Whiting continued the semaks and eloquently asked for the support of every local organization. "During the great war", she said, "we found out that prophylactic measures outnumbered remedial measures in their efficacy and strength. The same thing applies to the crushing of crime. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; and we should do well to take care of the ever swelling number of people who are coming daily into our city. "We have been woefully lax in supporting measures which were calculated to reduce crime to a minimum. We have not giben sufficient equipment to our guardians of the street. We have added materially to our police force in numbers, but we haven't given them the things with which to do efficient work. M. "Chief Vollmer should receive our support. He is working day and night for our protection. He studies crime with the minute scrutiny and alertness of a psychologist. He is psychiatrist and a criminologist, and is expecting your vote for a better equipped department; and it is up to us to see him with the things to effectively operate. "We have seven police statione in Los Angeles and yet in the University division alone, we have an area which is as large as Bakersfield, Alameda and Oakland combined." Describing some of the new equipment to be installed, Dr. Whiting declared, "In order that each of the stations may be properly connected up with headquarters, and that communication may be obtained whenever necessary, it is proposed to install in what is known as the Metropolitan area, 280 new police boxes, 264 red light signals and sirens and twelve receiving boards. The total cost of the alarm system to be installed would be approximately $50,000, and will provide us with a system of clean-cut efficiency." DELTAS ANNOUNCE EDUCATIONAL DRIVE PROGRAM The program to be given by Pi and Upsilon Chapters, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, during the week of their Educational Drive will include: Saturday May 3; Delta Rendezvous; Dansant, improptus vaudeville and other surprise features of entertainment; Sunday May 4; Ministers of the various churches will devote morning service to discourses on education. Speakers from Sorority will address Young People's Organizations; Friday, May 9; afternoon tea for high school senior girls at the home of Soror Marion Carter, 2413 Juliet Street; Sunday, May 11; Delta Sigma Theta Phi Alpha will combine their efforts in an Educational Fete for all High School students at which speakers of distinction from local institutions will talk on some phase of the very current problems of education and student life.

Veola Brown Anthem.....Choir Welcome Address, Soror Fay Jackson History of the Sorority.....Soror Miriam Mathews Organ Solo.....Soror Alice Stoard Introduction of the Speaker.....Soror Marion Carter Vocal Solo.....Soror Roena Muckelray Delta Hymn.....Sorority Benediction. Soror Fay Jackson, Mistress of Ceremonies. M. B. Mrs. Alice S. Wells, who followed Dr. Whiting, opened her talk with a tribute to Chief Vollmer. "He is the largest figure in the police world", she said. "No man equals him in character, interest, integrity, or ability. He has personality, and personality after all is bigger than money. "Vollmer would not stay if given a million dollars without the equipment which he now implores you to provide him with. We have to hold up his hand. We have to say, 'Hee are the things you needed. Now make good'; but all cannot be made good if we do not support him. Mrs. Cora Beal Lewis, prominent club woman and social worker, was next introduced. She declared "that Los Angeles is known throughout the world for its annexations. We are now to annex a scientific remedy for crime, for we need such a remedy. Years ago we made a survey of every inch of the city jail for he first time, and found that there could be no criminal had enough to be put into that horrible jail overnight. That alone indicates that we are in need of better equipment. "Go out among your friends. Tell them of the necessity of a scientific arrangement of our police forces. Make yourselves heard. Get as many votes as you can. This is not a political issue. You can vote for this thing to make your city better no matter what party you belong to. Chief Volkmer needs your support. Even the Volk stead act cannot be enforced unless the community is behind it." Near the close of the speaking, Mrs. Robinson put before D. Whiting the question concerning segregated stations. The reply was explicitly given that "no discrimination in the city police system would be at all tolerated. Aside from this array of speakers, a program featuring the Quality Five Jazz Orchestra, who furnished music for the occasion, according to Mrs. Robinson, without charge and solos by Mrs. A. Parker were given. The lunchon was attended by more than one hundred of the city's leading Colored women who are working for proposition number five on he May election ballot. The following resolutin was read and adopted. and adopted. BE IT RESOLVED: That we, the members of the Federated Colored Women and wives of Colored pastors of Los Angeles, California, join the La Angeles Crime Commission, the Shell's office and the many other civic bodies and important organizations in their endorsement of the proposed bond issue of ONE MILLION, SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS to the additional police equipment needed to give the great city of Los Angeles the efficient police protection it stands so much in need of. "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT We go on record as hearty en- gagement of the Police Department." "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT We go on record as hearty endorsers of Chief of Police Vollmer as ATTEMPTED MURDER FRUSTRATED BY QUICK ACTION OF MR. AND MRS. ROY WILSON OF W. 57TH ST. While Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were sitting on the veranda Tuesday evening, April 29th, they noticed a man acting suspiciously across the street. It was 9:30 p. m., and only a faint outline of his figure could be seen as he walked slowly by. He returned in a few minutes keeping his eye upon 133 W 51st, the residence next to the Wilons. Mr. Wilson told his wife to run up stairs and get his automatic while he kept his eye upon the strange man. She returned holding a very dangerous looking pistol at arm's length, which she handed to her husband. Te strange man in te mean time ad crossed the street and entered the yard that separates Mr. Turae'r, a mail carrier, and Mrs. Marsh's home. Despite the fact that there was held a special farewell service on Monday night at the Mt. Zion Second Baptist Church at which time all were given a chance to bid him au revoir for a few weeks. Tuesday noon a crowd of enthusiastic admirers were waiting at the S. P. Depot that they might again grasp his hand, look into his eyes and hear him say, "I am coming back". Dr. Stokes was called to the Mt. Zion Baptist Church shortly after his return home from the National Baptist Convention, which convened here last September. It was during this convention that the Mt. Zion Baptist Church en masse fell in love with him and pleased with him to leave his church of over five thousand members, the First Baptist of Montgomery, Alabama, a church paying him $350.00 per month, and whose members love him so dearly, after his service of thirty-four years that his unspoken wishes are sought after to be obeyed. "Twas out of this church that the Great National Baptist Convention of today was organized and Dr. Stokes the first and only treasurer is treasurer to day." Twas out of this church that many misseries of nation wide repute have been sent, men and women inspired under this man of God, to do their bit in service to Him, the great Creator. So much more could be told shoot that church which has done a great work under the inspiration of a great leader, but we would tell you somewhat of the faith of a struggling group of men and women who, having wintered many storms of disappointment were yet hoping for the peace of a summer's twilight.

Mr. Wilson walked rapidly dawn the street, and as he came to the spot where the stranger disappeared, there the stranger was found peeping into Mrs. Marsh's home. Mr. Wilson, at the point of his automatic forced him into the fight and then he was taken into the home of Mrs. Marsh, where it was discovered his wife recently moved to avoid his threats. On his person was found an automatic pistol of .45 calibre and loaded to the teeth. He was held until the police of University station were calltd and he was placed in custody. There was some excitement in the neighborhood for a few moments, but peace and quiet now reign. Mr. Weaver is the stranger's name, and they say he has a record. Crime Wave Still Sweeping ON VERIFIES NEED FOR BETTER POLICE EQUIPMENT Coming on down from the killing of C. C. Barnes of 1338 E 27th street by Leonard Lewis on the night of April 24th at Newton and Hooper avenue. Lewis escaped and later surrendered to Rev E. R. Driver at the Saints' Home Church, 20th and Hooper avenue. Rev. Driver notified officers B. C. Curtis and L. J. Cofelt (white) of University Station. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of 1st degree murder. Lieut. Detective B. F. Green, was assigned to the case. Leslie J. Ware, who some weeks ago murdered Josie Anderson on information gained from Lichtenstaanta Garrot, Stevens and Capt. Glenn, arrested their man, at the corner of Coronado and W. 7th St., April 21st when he had just applied for work after walking into the city from a northern town. He had been in all sections of the State since his escape after committing the crime. However, he had been traced step by step by the officers and the stealer work of Lieut. Green was highly commended by Capt. Glenn. Capt. Glenn desires that the public should know to whom the credit is due, for the capture of this cold blooded murder. also all of the other officers are entitled to signal credit for their efforts to capture the woman slayer.

Dear Sir:— May I not call your attention, to the editorial expression in your paper of the date of April 18, 1921, as from reading the same it seems to me you are opposed to the Power and Light Bond. This is a right of your own. Now in the matter of the Police Bond this in my judgment should be supported, also all of the rest of the bonds that will be on the ballot May 6, 1924. Los Angeles is, in my judgment and ballet, destined to be a great city, but M. W.

STOKES LEAVES FOR HOME (Continued from page 1) church, that might be compared to the city of Jerusalem. Once all eyes were urged toward it and cowed the path to her doors. Long since her paws have become delicate, the pathways desecrated and her people must be shaded. Even as the Savior went over Jerusalem so have they who have stood with old Zion except as they saw her glory depart and destruction come upon her. They have lifted their voices and cried aloud and have heard the echo of "Vain, vain, cried one in vain we call." Still in the language of Paul Lawrence Durham "but faith seem was over all." When Dr. Stokes came to the coast they were reinforced in their belief that God still reigns and that there should come, spite storm and shock, a Moses who should smite the rock, call manna from the Giver's hand and lead them to the Promised land. So they gave Dr. Stokes no peace till he promised to come, Surely "Vov Popull, vox Del," else why should a man of nationwide prestige, loved, known and revered by millions of people over the country, desired of thousands more desirable than the struggling and straggling few found at Mt. Zion, head the call? The fact remains that for forty days the dear Dr. has been in our midst. Has made hundreds of friends among "salins and sinners." He is so sought after by the ministers here, that the people have hardly a chance at him. Just to sit in his presence, feast on the knowledge of his experience and feel the influence of the life he has lived is considered by all that know him a privilege indeed. His presentation of The Savior has been so loving and inviting as to have caused sinners to fall out with their ways and those that have been careless to come confessing a new strength of determination. Fifty-two accessions to the church and two baptism services is a marvelous record among the Negro churches in this city where men and women have a tendency to forget his God. This feeble pen can hardly give you an idea of the real warth of this humble servant of Jesus. To know him is a privilege that will be yours after he has settled affairs in his homeland for "I m coming back" he said. Truly Vox Populi, vox Dei, YOUNG PEOPLE TAKE CHARGE OF SERVICES AT WESLEY CHAPEL Program Featured Sermonette by Young Lady and an Address by Young Man Consuelo V. Bright In Consulelo Bright, who delivered the morning message at Wesley Chapel M. E. Church last Sunday, the attendant members of that church found a young lady with unusual spiritual insight. She spoke in the absence of Dr. A. P. Shaw, the pastor, who is attending the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal -church at Springfield, Massachusetts; and emphasized throughout her address the necessity of not merely relinquishing pursuit after the popular and worldly pastimes of the day but of being led to God through Jesus Christ. She expressed her faith and belief with remarkable simplicity. Her delivery was marked by naturiness and force. Sincerity, earnestness, spontaneity of utterance—all these were combined in large measure. They were parts of one of the most forceful and most compelling addresses ever delivered to the members of Wesley Chapel. Miss Bright graduates from the University of California in June with the degrees of bachelor of letters. She intends to teach; but, if called by a second manifestation of the force which moved her to speak to the young people of her day, she will perhaps enter evangelical work. The following is the hernonette. It is partly a confession and partly an exhortation to the young people of this day to think and pray and hold fast in faith long enough to receive conversion: "When I was sixteen years old the Lord definitely let me understand that it was not enough for me to be a good moral girl, but I had to be born again. I needed a real witness in my heart. I tried to come out of the church work, but, dear people, forgive me. I did take part in some Christian activities, thus making myself a hypocrite, for I had not been born again. "But by faith I claim his promise and believe he gives me the witness I ask right now." "Young people, how many of you are living self-righteous live—no real witness of salvation, no real know so experienced, the young people with all your education, the characters, good morality, you are only sinners in the sight of God if you have not been coverted." "This is not dogfish, or squirrel." of flesh for one of stone. Does this sound old fashioned? Well, I am a 20th century girl and I am willing to take a stand for "the old-timed religion" "We must be born again". 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. Following Miss Bright in Sunday morning's services at Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, Reph Johnson addressed the congregation on a theme which foretold of the part which young people can play in the church of tomorrow. His remarks occluded of the comparison of a great church with a great man. "Gree stenem are not made overnight," he said. "Think of the years of toil, of sitting at his mother's knee and writing with charcoal on wooden shovels of Abraham Lincoln. "Think of the' first vision that dawned unto reality through his daily works and services. As a great man cannot be made overnight, neither can a great church be made over night, for it is composed of men. The same growth and experience is necessary "In the future we will look for- In the future we will look for in the building of a great church. need to the Sentora church for all of our ideals. It is for you to set an example that will make Wesley of tomorrow what Wesley of today would call a complete church of high metre. "If our baby minds, speaking with reference to experience, are able to detect some error in the senior church, we will omit that error in the working of our church. "In the future we will meet with many successes. Any organization fostered by the great Wesley Chapel could do no other than succeed. While it is ever a fine thing to be optimistic, there is sometimes something that creeps into such organizations that we cal failure. If such a thing comes, we will not step out, but will rise again. "I would say again th the Junior church that in the future we must seek those things which are high and right and do them. We must seek to serve. A man, though he may have every convenience and luxury money can buy, if he does not serve he does not really live. He merely exists. "In the undertaking of this new endeavor we will need encouragement. Let each mother encourage her son and daughter. "In the future you may expect of us programs which are interesting and beneficial. We are no children of mystery who assemble once a week to go through certain formalities and during the other six days go out into space. We are real flesh and blood men and women, every mother's son and daughter of us. If you would see an ideal Junior church, you would see sons and daughters that are willing to help when you are in a state of mind to think such things. Give them serious thought and act and success is ours." The twenty-third anniversary of the Supreme Camp of the American Woodmen and the second anniversary of the Los Angeles camps was celebrated Sunday, April 27th at the Second Baptist Church, before a packed house of Woodmen and others interested in the order. A well arranged program setting forth the various accomplishments of the order and its auxiliaries was very appropriately carried out and was itersperced with several excellent musical numbers. The first speaker introduced by the master of ceremonies was Mr. J. E. Rector, the Clerk of Camp No. 1, whose address dealt with the accomplishments of the local camps. His recital of the achievements of the camps in Los Angeles, of the sick and burial claims paid, the contributions to charity, and the influence of the local camps in the community surpassed even the expectations of the members of the order. Next in order were the addresses delivered in behalf of the various departments of the organization, Mrs. Sadie J. Arryd, speaking for the Brushburners, the juvenile organization, rendered a splendid address touching upon the virtues of the children's auxiliary. The Green Cross Nurse Corps was ably represented by Mrs. C. J. Smith, Chairman, who told of the duties of the corps and what it was destined to do in the community. Her discourse contained much advice upon the care of the body and the best kinds of food to eat. Perchval L. Everett who was commissioned at the officers training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and who commanded troops in Europe during the World War spoke in behalf of the Uniform Rank.

The male address of the afternoon was delivered by Prof. B. H. Graham, who in State Supervisor of the American Woodmen in California. He was accorded the Supreme honors of the order when the master of ceramics had the audience to stand and give him the Salute accorded only to the Supreme Camp Officers, and their representatives. Mr. Graham, who is a forceful speaker lost no time in getting down to his subject, "Fraternal insurance, its field, and what it is Accomplishing". He held the vast and audience spellbound by his superb delivery nd his address was often punctual by prolonged applause. He told what the American Woodmen had accomplished through co-operation because its members had confidence in the ability and honesty of members of the race stating that the assets of the oder now stood at a million and a quarter dollars. He told how the order had gone to the relief of the people at Tulsa, Okla, following the riot, and what it was doing all over the country in rendering aid and assistance by lifting mortgages on hundreds of Negro homes. He stated that the order was employing around fifteen hundred race men and women more than all other fraternals, and plead for the increased confidence on a more sympathetic co-operation o the part of the race people, that our organizations may prosper thereby ening positions for our own boys and girls who are being graduated from the various schools and colleges, after years of study and sacrifice, but with little hope for decent employment.

CHURCH 1509 W. 36th Street Major G. W. Prioleau, Pastor The Sunday school was largely attended as usual. There were three new pupils added to the roll. The pastor preached at the morning services to a large and appreciative congregation. this service was a spiritual treat. A larger attendance, at class meeting than for many months. If you see this tract, you will be dumfounded; the prices are low, from $350.00 up; only one-fourth down and the rest monthly.

Gregg, Pastor Report of the services or last Sunday at the independent Church of Christ would be quite void of exemplary gratification should it fail to disclose the fact that both morning and evening services were 100 percent appreciative. The matchless serio preached by Dr. Greggs in the morning was in every way meritorious of the compliment conceded by the deliberative audience, that it was a masterpiece of abluence of a pitup orator. His subject was "The Gua Foundation". He spoke of the last and unchangeable elements of religious principles from the creation down to the present time; and he left no stone unturned or star untouched in the limelight of civilization and in Christian edification. But such sermons are so characteristic of Dr. Greggs, visitors and friends look for the beneficents of such blessings whenever they visit this, the People's independent Church of Christ. Baptismal services took place at 3:00 p.m., and was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic audience. The Los Angeles Musicians Association was the guest at the evening session. This musical body, composed of the best musical talent in the West, the most excellent program that merited high praise from the spell-bound audience; for every number rendered was a practical presentation from stars talented in the musical profession. Thus closes the inspiring services of a perfect day, only to be renewed at future services. Next Sunday being the first Sunday, another interesting day will be expected. Sunday school assembles each Sunday morning at 9:30. A large body of children that throng the Sunday school Department, tell at the fruitful work of the Superintendent, Mrs. B. E. Prentice, and her corps of teachers. A growing and interesting endeavor society holds its meetings at the hour of 6:15 Sunday afternoon. Prof. Biggers and his senior and junior supervisors Mrs. Wales and Mr. Hall, together with a Live, wide-awake committee are making telling efforts to make the endeavor work one that will be second to none of similar CVhristian bodies in the West. The Young People's Lycceum is planning a big May festival on the 15th of the said month. The feature of which will make this occasion one of the crowning events of the season.

The pastor preached the annual sermon for the Pioneers, at 11 a.m. taking as his text, Heb. 11:15, 15. This was a great sermon and one to be long remembered in every heart. The evening service text was selected from St. John 13:35. Another excellent sermon. The pastor left Monday morning for the General Conference at Indianapolis, indiana. Prof. J. C. Banks leaves sometime this week for the conference. Holy Communion will be observed as usual this first Sunday. The pulpit will be filled by someone during the entire absence of the pastor.

The Tri-County District Association of the W. A. B. held its third quarterly Convention at the Macedonia Baptist Church of Watts. The pastor, Rev. Fleming, and his loyal members, put forth every effort to make things comfortable for the messengers; and by the power vested in me to speak to the public on behalf of the Convention, I herein assert with emphas) that, we that had a glorious time, and wish to thank our friends. Let me say here as a matter of pre-apology, that we are not able to mention all workers individually owing to our limited space; so do not feel lightened for having failed to see your name: although you are heartily congratulated for the excellent part you played in the work. Miss Grace Davis, President of S. S. a young woman of Needles, for whom the future holds great things, helmed the S. S. Aux, very compendably; which brought many helpful papers, remarks and addresses and reports from our workers of the local schools. B. Y. P. U., Mr. H. J. Freeman of Redlands, a very successful leader of his unit of our work. Mrs. E. O. Solomon directress of religious education, gave a black-board demonstration of the needs of religious training in our great Denomination, and every pastor felt resolved to govern himself accordingly. In the evening of the first day, when we saw that everything that had been done was very good, a joint session of the S. S. and B. Y. P. U. was the program of the evening. The audience was blessed with showers of helpful thoughts throughout the procession of the joint program; and a soul benefiting sermon was preached by Rev. J. A. Flemming. In the morning of the second day, Mrs. Ada Williams of Passdena was at her post of duty as president of the Women's Convention of the Tri-County Association. Under the leadership of this great character, the work is speeding toward the goal. How can we fall with such workers as we have? Mrs. C. D. Robinson, President of the women's work of the W. B. A., to encourage the hearts of the local district workers with her burning eloquence: Dr. R. H. Wade, a doctrinal genius, to admonish us to take care, or our work will falsify our claim as missionary baptists: Mrs. E. O. Solomon, an unequalled trainer for the young: Dr. Tillman and M. J. Young, two estimated ecclesiastic encyclopedias to guide us in all matters of religion: and above them all, stands the great Rev. F. W. Cooper, born leader, trained worker, fearless in matters of Godliness and one who knows how to make his part of the work merit the one hundred per cent mark. How can we prove all this to be true? I answer: by every one doing his hest. We must raise a thousand dollars in our next session, to prove that we are not flattering ourselves. The next meeting place is the Second Baptist Church of Monrovia, the pastor of which is one of the greatest young preachers in Southern California. You are heartily welcome to visit us, and help us do the. Master's bidding. Luke was just finishing the most remarkable story of the ages, the story of the conception, the birth, the childhood, the manhood, the ministry, the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There were forty days between the resurrection and the ascension of Jesus, and eight days between His ascension and the descent of the Holy Ghost. Luke winds up his record by telling us how the disciples were affected by their knowledge of Christ's resurrection and the promise of the Spirit made at the time of His ascension. "And they worship him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God". Then He adds the mighty, the glorious, the significant word "Amen". Joyful Anticipation Pemit me to say that these last words of Luke show that the disciples were not eight days in prayer and fasting before the outpouring of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost, but were rejoicing and praising God, most of the time in the temple. But on the day of Pentecost they came together, presumably in the upper room and were all 127. Faith is not ingrubious doubt, but joyful anticipation. Be of good courage and He shall strengthen thine heart. Ps. 27.14. ing, acceptance and truthfulness, in the synagogues and private houses it was customary for the people or members of the family who were present to say "Amen" to the prayers which were offered by the minister or the master of the house, and the congion remained in the early Christian church. Matt. 6:13; I Cor. 14:16. And not only public prayers, but those of forced 14 private, and doxologies were appropriately concluded with "Amen": No. 9:6; 11:38; 18:38; 18:27; II Cor. 12:15; etc. This is Mr. Smith's definition which accords with scripture Amen! Agreement With God—Atonement It is so. So be it. It is true let it be true. Amen is the word by which the soul of a man expresses perfect agreement with God and His truth. The soul surrendered to the divine will acknowledges divine wisdom and justices grounds the arms of rebellion refuses to be wise in its own conceit and says with Israel of old "Jehovah is right" sees the word of the Lord is right. Ps. 33:4 the Redeemer is always true. He is all-merciful and all-good He will do what is happiest and best for me and for all. Let it be so. Amen. Acknowledge the Word Amen not only acknowledges God is right and true, it also acknowledges the Bible record as the word of God inspired and true. Luke looks up from a holy task finish. He has written, like David and the prophets of old, as he was moved by the Holy Ghost. It Pet. 1:21: If Sam. 23:2. He has told the world the story of the life of the Son, of God, the story of eternal salvation. The spirit of truth has guided His mind. He has told the truth. His heart saith Amen. His pen burthens with a holy eternal, "Amen!" God's word is true. Let skeptics doubt it, let indulges deride it, let agnostice distrust it, let fanatics distort it, let hypocrites misrepresent it, let cowards recant it, let the slothful and indifferent neglect it—Amen. It is true. It is God's word. it is forever settled in eaven. Ps. 119:89. God will sustain it, angels defend, martens dit for it, believers give their all to attest it and souls rejoice because of it. Amen. It is so, God says it. It must be so. Let it be so. Thy word O Lord, is forever settled in heaven. The Record of Salvation Amen to the record of salvation, God's testimony concerning His Son! I John 5:9-11. Amen. I believe the testimony. It is truth. I feel the deliverance of it, I feel the thrill, its power, its holy and infinite joy, he redeems my soul. I am at one with God again, reconciled by the death and saved by the life of his Son Jesus Christ. Amen. Shout it with me, ye angels. Rajoice, ye saints. Shine, oh, thou Sun of the heavens with seven-fold brightness. Isa. 39:28. believe God's testimony concerning His Son. Amen. Light, peace, life, salvation, health, strength, abounding joy, all these are mine. My soul surrenders to God. Amen. The Amen of Unity Amen also carries with it the unity of God's people in faith, hope, and life, in the warfare and their worship, their hope and their holiness, their purposes and their prayers, their griefs, their groomings. Amen. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. It is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard; that went down to the skirts of his garments; as the dew of Hermon and as the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing even life forevermore." Ps. 133. "Amen" expresses this unity, melts into the soul of a multitude that no man can number. It joins the salutes of all ages into one prayer of salvation and one service of praise. Let it be so. Amen. Hallelujah. Is the Amen of God in your heart? Are you among the blessed who have been rendered to God and have part in the first resurrection? Are you in accord with the universe of God? Is the truth in your heart? If so, then shout with me one humble and glorious Amen. Los Angeles, Calif., 4, 29, 24 The Calif. Eagle. Los Ageles, Calif.

On several occasions during a visit in the East during February and March of this year, we had occasion to address gatherings of our group of citizens. We did not fail to emphasize our slogan of PRODUCTION from the soil of the earth and pointed out that our people should be the logical successors to the Japanese and emulate them in so far as the proposition of production lies. This situation would not only put this people in a commanding position and be the opening wedge for entrance into big business but would raise this people to higher heights than they ever hoped for before. Agriculture and horticulture are the big products of the Pacific slope. The Japanese have reigned as kings in producing these commodities. The law of the land now decrees that they cannot rent, lease or buy the soil of California. With this edict in force the Japanese producer is deserting the avenues of production in California like rats from a sinking ship. This situation opens up an opportunity for Americans to engage in this field of effort which has been very prolific for financial gain and is therefore profitable indeed. A Call to the Black American. As mentioned above the Black American citizen is the natural successor to the Japanese and should we decide to accept the opportunity now open to him in the years to come he will take his place and become a real factor in the business world. Backed up by production there is no limit to the heights to which he may ascend. Great newspapers, banks, hotels, department stores are easy to acquire and to maintain if backed up by production. The only reason the Japanese made such a showing along these lines was the great-production brought forth by them from the soil of the earth on the Pacific Coast. Likewise will this condition obtain should the Black American accept the opportunity at his door. The following figures quoted recently in Congress when the immigration exclusion bill was before that body indicates the part played by the thrifty Japanese along the line of production. First he controlled 28 per cent of the fish catch from California waters; 80 to 85 per cent of celery produced; berries, 90 to 95 per cent; asparagus, 70 to 75 per cent; cantaloupes, 65 to 70 per cent; onions 80 to 85 per cent; tomatoes, 75 to 80 per cent; florists products, 72 per cent; seeds 52 per cent; sugar beets, 45 per cent; mixed vegetables, 90 to 95 per cent; grapes, 20 to 25 per cent; rice, 25 per cent; potatoes, 20 per cent; beans, 15 per cent; cotton, 15 per cent and fruits, 12 per cent. And now as to what per cent the Black American has produced in California—it is less than one-tenth of one per cent. For all that, the door of opportunity again swings ajar. Will he enter therein? CAST YOUR VOTE FOR PRESIDENT COOLIDGE We commend to every voter who may read these lines, the candidacy of President Calvin Coolidge for the Republican nomination at Cleveland and his election in November. We do this for no selfish motive, but only from a sincere belief that he richly deserves the support of the people on his record. We firmly believe that he is the greatest character who has graced the executive chair since Lincoln. We believe him to be sincerely the friend and arbiter for all peoples and that with him in the White House the rights of humanity is secure. We therefore ask for him a strong and united support. Let California do itself proud by giving to him the solid delegation from the land of sunshine and flowers. Let's join in with one mighty acclaim and make the nomination of Calvin Coolidge unanimous. Vote and work for Coolidge. "We have fought the fight and kept the faith and now await the salvation of out Lord and the nomination and election of President Coolidge. Don't fail to give your support to the Bonds which mean an efficient Police Department. The crime wave on the Maui is a serious reflection.

Such a project, with its alluring features, affid in its nature and scope, is distinctly a step forward, a noteworthy demonstration of impatience with restraint, of impatience with the limitations which illiteracy and ignorance makes for every woman who falls to get her rightful share of all that college training abundantly provides for her. It is the outward manifestation of more than an editorial can describe, or attempt to make a prophetic appraisal of. For to woman, arising from the social bondage of the past, grasping opportunities formerly denied her, influencing the world's thought as never before, re-making and re-building institutions with the advent of her new intellectual freedom, college education means emancipation and opportunity for a life of usefulness and productiveness. So readily accepted is the remark that ordinarily it will be regarded as a platitude. The advantages which accrue out of four years of mental discipline are, of course, obvious. Yet, in a breathless pursuit of material objects and possessions, the truth is too often disregarded. Let us then, give ourselves over to, first, a contemplation of the aims of the liberal college; and second, of those aims as they relate to woman; and third, of the results which automatically emanate from the first and the second when they are adequately realized. The aim of the liberal college is to give intellectual culture, to stimulate the undergraduate to visions which he has never yet known before, to embellish, cultivate and enlarge the mind, and to enable the individual to make easily and successfully the imperative adaptation to his environment. Seventy years ago, in an address before the University of Dublin, a distinguished Oxonion, John Henry Newman by name, defined and illustrated the idea of a university. Because of its sheer weight and wisdom, and because of the perspicuity and propriety in which it is expressed we are reproducing one salient feature of the address as an aid to us in elaborating upon the aim of the liberal college: "That perfection of the intellect which is the result of education, and its beau ideal, to be imparted to individuals in their respective measures, is the clear, calm, accurate vision and comprehension of all things, as far as the finite mind can embrace them, each in its place, and with its own characteristics upon it. It is almost prophetic from its knowledge of history; it is almost heart-searching from its knowledge of human nature; it has almost supernatural charity from its freedom from littleness and prejudice; it has almost the repose of faith, because nothing can startle it; it has almost the beauty and harmony of heavenly contemplation, so intimate is it with the eternal order of things and the music of the spheres." College training, then, is calculated to make out of the individual a prophet, a seer, a philantropist and a broad, open-minded liberal. Its effect upon woman is enormous. It has given her vision and insight into problems which have long baffled the biggest intellects of every age and country. It has emancipated her from servitude and domestic slavery, has enabled her to take her rightful place, not in some obscure position where her chief mission was to propagate the race, but among the workers of the world! This transformation, this improvement over the intellectual medievalism of the past, signifies that we are destined to create, in the fullness of time, a finer and more beautiful civilization. Therefore it is that such a movement-as the "Go-To-College-Drive" is of special importance to us. Broader visions and better concepts of what can be may result in it. Who knows? AN ESTIMATE OF HIRAM JOHNSON VERY FEW of our readers going to the polls to vote on next Tuesday are perhaps cognizant of the very singular methods and artifices employed by political shysters in their attempt to get in the limelight. Very few know that those methods are frequently mere artifices which betray the use of other accessory devices for the attainment of an end or a political victory. Of accurate understanding of how Mr. Hiram Johnson ascended from obscurity to prominence, only a limited number perhaps know. To show how by a mere trick, (the act feigning indignation over wrong), Mr. Johnson became a national figure, we are reproducing, with our own comments, an evaluation of our distinguished Senator which was taken from the "Mirrors of Washington" (Putnam): "His (Johnson's) political life was blank paper when the tumult of popular indignation swept California at the time Francis J. Honey was prosecuting the San Francisco grafters, was shot in the courtroom. He had thought of nothing politically, he had felt nothing politically. He had neither convictions, nor passions, nor morals, politically speaking. He grew up in soil which does not produce lofty standards. Something of the mining-camp spirit still hung over California. . . . Johnson himself was sprung from a father who was a railroad lawyer," the agent of privileges in procuring special favors, by methods once well known, from the state legislature. The atmosphere of his youth was not one to develop a sensitive conscience or a high conception of public morals. Johnson at this time was a practicing attorney, not noted for the quality of his community service. . . Johnson then felt for the first time something he had never felt before—the stirring of the storm of angry popular feeling. It woke something in him . . . his instinct for the expression of public passion; his love of the platform with yelling multitudes in front of him. He threw himself into the fray on the side of civic virtue . . . Johnson became the spokesman of public protest and the reform governor of the state. I have said that he is by accident a radical OUR PLATFORM 0----00----0 The Beginning of Every Great Career has been Marked by a Steadfast Purpose.

" On its very face, this estimate of Mr. Johnson is nothing if not uncomplimentary. It bears us out in what we have said in these columns again and again; namely, that Hiram Johnson is not a man of foresight, or a statesman with any unusual political acumen; he is an opportunist; a shrewd, calculating individual who watches like a sly fox for an opportunity to make a grandiose performance in the role of a "reformer." It is, moreover, in the opinion of the staff of this paper, that this estimate of him is IMPORTANT, and—if allowance be made for the light it sheds upon Hiram—of some interest to all who on May 6th are casting their ballots to elect delegates pledged to secure the nomination of one, who in their opinion, is best qualified to act as standard bearer of the Republican party in November. It attests to an unabated interest in scholarship and learning. It provides the implements for study, reflection and speculation. It presents the best that is being done in contemporary thought. It presents, discusses, and describes all that you are interested in. It analyzes, compares, suggests, outlines, and helps you in an infinite variety of ways. It is stimulating, informative, and essential to your mental life. It is food for your discussion in public meetings: food for your conversation with your mother, father and sweetheart; and will serve you on occasions as numerous as you may be on those occasions in pressing need for it. It is the first time a Negro newspaper has made such an unique offering. It is The Eagle's Literary Supplement. AND WHAT YOU MAY DO TO KEEP "IT." Out of a deep controlling desire to present a page carrying book reviews, verse and various other types of literature, we are attempting to run regularly a book section which from time to time will embrace book reviews of the work of the living writers of the day. Nothing unimportant will included; nothing essential will be left out. From the psychological novels of Mr. H. G. Wells' to the humorous essays and parodies of Steaphen Leacock and Christopher Morley, the book section comprises every type of literature. A competent staff of literary artists have pledged their time, effort and interest toward making this venture a distinguished success. Now, the appearance of this page every week implies work—even hard work and study and research and that artistry essential in book reviewing which one can attain only at a great sacrifice. This is our side of the picture. What is YOUR side of the picture? Charly this: if you find some interest in or profit from this new stage, write and tell us about it.

WINS ARCHITECTURAL PRIZE It is not reasonable that those students who, by their own consistent effort and toll, have merited the distinction among the most learned and efficient scholars of the country, should be expected to curvival and defeat their comrades when they enter the professional field. Occasionally, we come in contact with a student who has won signal honors, either in athletics or some phase of scholastic competition. But it is unusually seldom that you find one who leads his constituents in athletic and scholastic merit. The student who has distinguished himself in these two respects has taken complete advantage of his college education. He has received mental and physical development. He has placed his Alma Mater among the foremost Universities of the country, and has won for himself a name which will always be a guiding lamp for those who seek to rise above the level of common students. Mr. John Riddle, of Pasadena, is well known as a U. S. C. varsity halfback a Baseball player and a successful sprinter. He has won monograms from the University in each of these eventful athletic squads. And now he comes to us with an architectural price showing that on April 21, he won the second place in the Palais d'Arts Architectural Drawing Contest. This contest was open to the Engineering Students of U. S. C. Forty-five contestants submitted an exterior and interior drawing of wat they suggested as an ideal library building. Surely Mr. Riddle must have drawn a remarkably unique library plan for wen students enter contests they produce the best that there is in them. As we observe the luxuriant homes and huge buildings embellished with attractive art, calculated to the most minute fraction of an inch, blending, and appealing to the human eye, we feel very proud that there is a Negro student enrolled in the College of Architectural Engineering who is making good. John Riddle is a charter member of Alpha Delta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Greek Letter Fraternity. The Negro students of U. S. C. are fortunate to have him within our ranks. He is certainly demonstrating that the Negro is not inferior. If we may use him as an example, we would rather say that. He who works is superior. National Race Congress Project Will Have Discussion of Proposal to Secure Representation The National Race Congress, which meets in Washington on April 30, is going to take up the question of Proportional Representation. This is a subject of importance to all people of the United States, but especially to the colored population. Proportional Representation means that every minority shall have representation in the city council, State legislature, or Federal congress, in the same proportion that it has votes among the people. As it is now, minitries are given a chance to go to te-polls and vote for some one who does not really represent them, but not to elect the representatives they want. It is desired that voters, both men and women, express their views on proportional representation—if they have any views on the subject; and if not, they had may as well look into it. If adopted, it would mean much to the Negro race. While the National Race Congress has not taken any stand on the matter as yet it is seriously proposed by some, that the organization should recommend united action for the purpose of securing Proportional Representation in the election of members of Congress. If the Negro people could secure even one member of Congress, how much it might mean to them. With proportional representation they might possibly elect several. This system is already in use in many places, and has proved to be in practice all that was expected from it in theory. The method of casting and counting the votes, as to make the proportional division between parties and classes. They are no mystery. They have been studied, invented, and put into actual use, with happy results. If Congress will give permission to the States to use it if they choose, many of the States doubtless will colored voters in the North should make this the basis of their support of any candidate. Is he in favor of Proportional Representation? Will he try to get it for us? Of course nothing can be done in the South; it would be idle to agitate there; but in the North there is a splendid opportunity. PROPORTIONALIST. in Georgia, and Pasadena, and San Francisco in California. Thirteen years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth King while in the pastorsate at Madison, Ga., and to this union tour children were born, Kukus, Joe, Gilliard and Cornelius, all surviving. The Annual service at Bethel, San Francisco, was conducted by Rev. Nelson Pryor, pastor of the First Church of Oakland, assisted by other pastors of the Lake region and of the San Francisco District. Burial was made in Pasadena, California in beautiful Mountain View Cemetery; the funeral service here was conducted by Rev. J. H. Wilson, presiding elder of the San Francisco District, assisted by Rev. James Washington, presiding elder of the Los Angeles district and twenty-six ministries who have been co-workers with him in the Master's vineyard. Many resolutions were read at both the funeral services in San Francisco and Pasadena; flowers were banked up like a mountain and the funeral procession was several blocks long; Rev. J. M. Brown, pastor of First Church, Pasadena, acted as master of ceremonies. The following resolution was read at both services by Rev. Fred A. Hughes, secretary of the Annual Conference, for the conference: WHEREAS, It has pleased our Heavenly Father in His infinite wisdom, to take from our midst our beloved brother and associate, Rev. Gilliard Lee Cooper, and WHEREAS, He has faithfully and earnestly served his church and has for the past four years been a successful pastor ad member of the California Annual Conference: Therefore, Be it Resolved, That we, the members of the California Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, hereby express our heartfelt sorrow at the taking away of our beloved brother, and tender our deepest sympathy to his beloved ones, wife, children, brothers, sisters and other relatives, and point them to Him who doeth all things well and sayeth, "I will give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." Be it further resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the family, the Annual Conference, the church papers and the public press. The Ministers of The California Annual Conference.

In “its onward march Coolidge sentiment is sweep- ing everything before it.

Q Sin“ Diege Méeting: ‘One of the greatest-meetines-of any campaign was eld at San ego on Tues: day night. Hon F. M. Roberts and J.B. Bass were the speakers for the occasion. Enthusiasm ran. high on a call for show down at the big meeting. Hvery voter: present stood up for Cook fage.. R. G. Lamar was on hand to sce the work well done. * Imperial Vaifey is looking forward to a great outpouring: Sunday when Mesrrs, Roberts’ and Bass will speak for the endidacy of President Cool: idge. It is predicted a record primary vote will be cast on next Tuesday amd we look for a sweeping victory for Presi: dent. Coolidge. | sk ‘We are in receipt of a letter from Chicago Headquarters teling usl that the Colored wards of Chicago gave the President a 4 to 1 vote and significant ly asked what are you going to tell ‘Us on May 7th? We must wake up, and give the President at least 2 5 to 1 and-out do Chicago. If there had been any doubts as to the seatiment of the Colored voters of Los Angeles and their stand as to whom to support for president, that doubt was diapelléd “like the base. less fabric of a vision, and left not a tock; bebind”. Om last Tuevday night at the monster Coolidge rally held in the auditorium. of: the Lafayette: Jr. high school, the crowd which turned out exceeded all expectations and was ‘noticeable not only for the quantity but for the par excellence as a repre- ‘sdntative gathernig. |_ The speakers of the evening were Hon. Joseph B. Bass, editor of The “Soaring Eagle” and he certainly soared to the heights in his masterly presentation of President Coolidge for the considertion of the voters. The audience sat in closest attention. and gave generous applause throughout his forcefal address. He took occa- sion in his address to pay his re- spects to the Democratic party and recited on his recent trip that only in states where the Democratic party could he held up his head like. a man. His, portrayal of President Cool- ldge was indeed d-revelation and met with instantaneous approval from_the monster crowd, especially so was this apparent when he, thundered out, “Who else now have yow got to vote for". The crowd to a man was with the speaker. He declared that not since Lincota hare we had a man in the white house who stands for all humanity amtd’even handed Justice tice the President does. _. We will say for our chief that on ‘this oecasi he lived up to all expecta- tions, and never has a message been more forcefully and; eleqaently ' pat over tan his tribute to both the Re- publican party aad ‘President Caol- idge.

Public Service Bureau * Head Makes Tactical: Blunder’ At Forum This article would not have been written andperhaps the Japanese -Ex. clusiaod bill would not have been passed had not the ambassador from Japan talked too much. Now Major Hines, one of the speakers at The Forum on behalf of the bonds, to our mind went out of his way to criticise a committee report instead of present- ing his case on behalf of the power bonds. This writer undertakes to, say gross discrimination has been practiced in the Public Service Burean against Colored people, as a matter of fact the half has not been told. L. ¢. Posey, J. M. Britton, and a score of others who passed civil ser- vice for position above that of jani- tor will testify to the treatment they received at:this seJf same Public Ser- vice Commissioy. It was this phase which the Committee wanted to get action on and were not using partiality. "The Committee was also instructed to find out to what ex- tent the Power companies gave res: ognition to Colored people ,who are also patrons of the same. This report was made without prejudice to elther.

Before designing the new bus, Reo engineers made in extensive survey of bus transportation in clubs of all sizes including a very exhaustive one in the Southern California suburban and interurban districts. By means of this survey they determined what might be considered the average number of passengers that a bus would be called upon to carry. They also found that it is cheaper for an operator to run buses "sized to the-average load" during the hours in which the number of passengers is normal and add extra busses for rush hours. Accordingly the new Reo bus was designed to carry 21 passengers in addition to the driver. This capacity was found to be the most satisfactory from every point of view. Greater capacity would have required greater bulk and decreased ability to maneuver through the crowded sections of the larger city. Theassis, which was designed especially for passenger transportation, is an entirely new member of the Reo machine. Features which mark it especially are its wheelbase, which is 176 inches, its improved spring suspension brought about through the use of the rear springs, its rear axle, designed especially for passenger bus work, and the unique disposition of the spare tire carrier. To these features are added many distinct Reo details such as the double frame in which the six-cylinder engine is rigidly anhered. Through the use of this subframe Reo, engineers have lowered the center of gravity of the bus perceptibly and have also effected the nearest approach to a straight line drive that it to be found in any commercial vehicle, thereby eliminating much of the wear on the universals. "Everyone who has seen this new bus is highly pleased with it", said Byron C. Foy, president of the Reo Motor Company of California, Inc., in discussing the new model. "We have had a sample demonstration pretty well all over Southern California already and everywhere it has been approved by street railway, stage line and bus operators in general. Quite a number of orders already have been received, and it seems likely the entire allotment for Southern California will have been sold out within the next 60 days."

After fifteen minutes of goed comniunity singing to piano music an overture was played on the organ. This consisted of several hymns se lected and played with a view. to pro duce mental pressions preparatory to the remainder of the service.

Two,memberg were received. The church was again darkéned, and a quartette sang “‘Tis Midnight, om Olive's Brow” with . the spotlight focussed on Hoffmon's “Christ in the Garden”, The sacrament df the Lord's Supper was then obseryed in semi darkness while D Vince's “Last Sup- per” was displaed. The service closed with “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”, part of which was sung by #0- loists behind curtains. It was~ very solemn and impressive. The comunt- ty hopes Rev.

Moreover, John, this same youth is engaged to marry Mary Carter: "she was metal, naked clinging gilt of bronze. . . firm like a bad, half green wood with my running up," but he is strangely obsequious with a "look in the eye" that must reflect the soul of one who has put off the common pleasure of the world and put on that loneliness of spirit which is the rest of minds and the urtent of those who desire a more intolerable suspense. Mercer and more exquisite joys than humanity affords. A little lower than the angels, they walk between these and the fallen angels, without part or lot in the world. What is more, Virginia Hade—daughter of Judra Hade, owner of the factory where John works, where Virginia in secretary—in striken with this same insatiable yearning. Southern Sun declared a Holiday at the factory. John goes home 'to Mary. Virginia wanders up the creek. John goes to the creek by another road for a swim before supper. They meet. Their gaze locks . . . That night his fair bronze body dangles—melting in the flame. Thus the plot Readers are warned in advance by critics more experienced than the present one that Mr. Frank's novel is no easy reading for one not familiar with the ultra-modern school of writers. His barbaric free yeurse in which most of the conversation in encounters should not be consoled as a scarce crow to ward off these readers with a naive sense of beauty. The author has had the courage of a true artist who knows his Georgia in treating this episode and handles it without taceless bias, substuff, melodrama, or the desire to prove anything. There is such a conscious effort on his part to always attain the uncommon in his descriptions by painting beautiful pictures of otherwise squalid huts and villages which only an artist could see that one is bound to exclaim how well he writes, but what beautiful pictures he paints. "The cabin hall is the cabin's threat. Comes the thick air of animal sleep. A hog squeals wickedly. Yonder the bray of a mute cat momently on edge the firmament's stiliness". Holiday has an aesthetic appeal that is irresistible: not something to be tabulated or explained, it is something to be experienced. To quote Mr. Frank in his criticism of Jean Toomer's "Ome": "For Toomer, the Southland is not a problem to be solved; it is a field of loveliness, to be sang: the Georgia Negro is not a down trodden soul to be uplifted, he is material for georgous painting, a subject of beauty and of drama worthy of creation in literary form". This criticism is equally applicable to himself and Holiday. The characters: wistful, out of Time and out of Space, seemingly wander about in the abstract hopelessly detached. They find their loot too heavy for their spiritual cravings and for their most part are easy despoil of Southern Nights and that religion-complex upon which the South and Southern Negroes thrive and have being. Everything is beautifully vague; even the location is uncertain; the land sinks slowly to the bay like a darkening failure. Georgia. Florida. Louisiana? Nazareth is a town's name. Picturing a shooting woman at a revival Frank writes: ...A girl roses clear. Her finger and her arms splash out into the turpentine while her head hurried forth, tilted back, lurched elsewhere and her neck open like the arms of a dead snail. AN OUTLINE OF WELLS "A short, stocky man with a scrubby moustache and a high pitch voice; a man nearer sixty than fifty but looking considerably; younger; a man whose like you can see a thousand times a day in every city's streets. Such, superficially, is H. G. Wells whom Anatole France has recently described—and accurately described—as the greatest intellectual force in the English-speaking world". WITH this graphic description, Mr. Dark starts out with his analysis of Wells, "the superman in the street", as he emphatically summarises him. He compares Wells with G. B. Shaw and shows that the two are essentially unlike. He then compares Wells with Mr. Arnold Bennett and shows up the disparity which makes them unlike and insists that Wells is largely unlike most of his contemporaries, because they are all members of a higher social caste, Wells is a representative of the English lower class. He considers this as most fortunate for Wells and, from several indications, agrees with J. D. Beresford that "if he (Wells) had been born into the leisured classes and sent to Eton and Christchurch, and if his genius had found any expression after that awful experience, he would probably, at best, have written polite essays or a history of Napoleon during the intervals of his leisured activity as a member of the Upper House." Wells, then, "is an articulate man of the people." a man who, more than most of his contemporaries, has used literature to demonstrate the unscenifi- tive facilities of modern life. His regard for art is nothing like that which Flaubert and Conrad have paid to it, for "he is interested in business and social prejudice and politics" and cares not a whit about the form or method best fitted to expound upon it. He said himself in a letter to Henry James: "To you literature, like painting, is an end, to me literature, like architecture, is a means, it has a use." "What is the good," he asked in another place, "of preparing to write about love and the loyalties and treacheries and quarrels of men and women if one must not glance at those varieties of physical temperament and organic quality, those deeply passionate needs and distresses from which half the storms of human life are brewd. We cannot present people unless we have this unrestricted field." Thus in true rebellious spirit, "Mr. Wells takes up his pen and spares nothing, however shocking or unpleasant, which he thinks his readers ought to know. Out of this breathless spirit he has created ideals, which, perhaps, may be a little inaccessible to us of this generation, but are not so high as not to be appreciated by generations yet to come. As the author says with charming piquancy of phrase: Wells goes out into the arena of life tremendously sure of himself, perfectly confident that for whatever cause he may be fighting at the moment, his cause must be pre-eminently right, quite sure of victory and equally confident that his opponents are the hidden children of darkness. With his head held high and with a brilliant pennon at his lance head, he joyously rides to battle with what Henry James has called "the easy impudence of genius." Chapter two is mainly occupied with a closer comparison of Wells and Shaw. Chapter three elaborately discusses the literary, controversies which Gilbert Chesterton and Wells waged in defiance of each other and closes with several comments on Mr. Wells' novels. Of his sympathy with Socialism, the author says on page 103: "It was under Fahm's influence, Wells wrote "A Modern Utopia" with its dream of a class of Samurai—enlightened, unagish, intellectual aristocrats—which should govern but for the sake of the governed," Mr. Beresford has given similar, but not quite an exhaustive, treatment to Wells the Socialist in part four of his little book "H. G. Wells" (Holt). It is this more thoroughgoing manner or writing about authors which, to my mind, makes Mr. Dark's book a much more reliable study than Mr. Beresford's. The latter's work, of course, was an earlier publication (1815). There are equations other biographies of Wells, but it seems to me that Mr. Dark's "Outline" is better calculated to give the reader an intimate, personal and illuminative account of Mr. Wells than any yet published.

They all are discovers and pointers-out." Such is a trenchant passage extracted from the above work by James Harvey Robinson. And throughout the entire book the author proceeds in an elevated style to trace the methods by which, in his well-empered view, human knowledge may be made less scientific and, by that, more human. His preliminary statement of the real truths of life, embracing, as it does, a fine and moving definition of natural religion, is an admirable expression of what is fundamentally necessary in any effort which would lift the knowledge of mankind from the more material to the spiritual basis. He has no rational quarrel with the scientist who, "like the poets, philosophers, theologians and artists, belongs to the small and precious group of persistent wonderers"; but, in logical keeping with the tone and purpose of his book, he lavishes him as somewhat "inhuman in his methods and aims". The scientist, our author claims, is out of harmony with the common interests of mankind, concerning himself only with "n stupid trifles which promise neither pleasure nor profit". In the sense that, scientific knowl- edge, when adapted only to the intellectual diversions of men, robs them of that spiritual flexibility which is an essential flavor of human growth, we are inclined to accept the views of Mr. Robinson; but we are not prepared to walk in mental companionship with him in any ill-considered and unsympathetic onslaught on great groups of men who, by their patient investigations and discoves—exact as these must naturally be—have so considerably enhanced the progress of modern culture. Nor should we overlook that important truth on the worth of scientific education which Herbert Spencer has so pithily emphasized, that "science makes constant appeal to individual reason. Its truths are not accepted on authority alone; but all are at liberty to test them—nay, in many cases, the pupil is required to think out his own conclusions. Every step in a scientific investigation is submitted to his judgment. He is not asked to admit it without seeing it to be true. And the trust in his own powers thus produced, is further increased by the uniformity with which Nature justifies his inferences when they are correctly drawn. From all which there flows that independence which is a most valuable element in character. Nor is this the only moral beet bequedat by scientific culture. When carried on, as it should always be, as much as possible under the form of original research, if exercises perseverance and sincerity." (The hold face type is ours). What is more desirable in the humanizing of knowledge than the development of the great elements of human character—those elements of independent judgment. "perseverance and sincerity"? Passing to chapter IV of the book, the author is observed to treat with apt and reasonable judgment "The Present Organized Opposition to the Scientific View of Man's Place in the Natural Order". To him the anti-evolutionists are decidedly disjointed from an accurately rational and historical understanding of man's real place in Nature; and the open-minded student of truth cannot bbt admire and applaud his earnes and straight forward method of approach. Chapter V deals with Science and Lore. It is, pertinently, an appeal for intelligent inquiry into the vital questions of human life before delivering judgment. Questions of biblical interpretation, moral and economic beliefs should in the main, be carefully examined anterior to acceptance or rejection. "We have to find out," says the author, "what things are good and right and just, before we can appropriate them". If we are to accord him an honest interpretation we should say that, this in a word, is a plea for a measure of intellectual freedom, which, of course, we should be intellectually free, before we can hope to exercise. But there are those, in their fidelity authority, who would deny us this authority. These, like our author, we defy, and with him insist on having "a dynamic education to fit a dynamic education to fit a dynamic world". In chapter VI we believe he strikes the very heart of the book when 2 deals theroux with "The Problem of Walk into any of the great business institutions of our city; Banks, Department Stores or other places and observe the number of customers who are able to purchase all they desire on time payments. What places them in this enviable position? Do you know that they are all asked to answer this question: Do You Own Any Real Estate? If the answer is in the affirmative, their credit is good. Let us help you to establish your credit. We have houses and lots for sale in all sections of Los Angeles, at reasonable prices and terms. Humanizing Knowledge". Our present knowledge, he claims, being dehumanized, must now be "rehumanized" to accomplish which "our knowledge of man and of his world must be reordered and restated; it must be put together anew with full regard to the ways in which the average person assimilated new knowledge. It must be "reassimilized". Well does he observe that "We are all shamefully uneducated, whether we be learned in some particular field or not; and this lack of scientific insight is naturally more striking in those that dedicate themselves to intellectual interests than in the average citizen, absorbed in smoking, himself and the family a livelihood". He abhors he prevailing systms which negative the free influence of our educators and textbook writers who, because men do not and will not ascend the inquiring stage before pronouncing their decisions, are throttled in their efforts to question existing standards for their ultimate readjustments, and must have their mental, and in some cases their executive, liberties impounded in deference to the unscientific demands of our very artificial social developments. The book concluded with an answer to the question of democratizing scientific knowledge. In fine, it is a valuable contribution to the various existing theories on the subject of adjusting human education to the betterment of human life. JAMES McGREGOR. This is an attempt at a ase, practical, unprejudiced discussion of what Socalilism, really is, and the results that would follow should it ever be adopted. The author clears up several obvious, though serious, misapprehensions concerning Socialism by showing that communism, archism, and nihilism are essentially negative, having no constructive policies; while Socialism, in its broader aspects, is an attempt to bring about such a condition of society that no person could be either very rich or very poor. A formal definition is made on page nineteen: to wit, "Socialism is the collective ownership of all the social means of production, distribution, and exchange and the democratic management of the same." Chapter five embraces what the author claims to be the principal weaknesses of Socialism; and it is here, I think, the most disappointing blemish in the book is to be found, when he says that Socialism cannot, produce the actual conditions which it promises. It is needless to aver, of courses that Socialism can succeed overnight; (its actual state refutes it) but the author overbooks that fact that it can be safely adopted when men are weaned away from petty manifestations of self-love and that spirit of exaggerated gluttony which invariably affect others, because of their interdependence and interrelation in an economic structure as overwhelmingly complex and intricate as ours. Pew Socialists there are who would for even a moment—and it could be a whimsical, mathematical amount—affirm that Socialism could immediately solve every problem at the context. What system can it? It remains for men to be educated up to it and instilled with higher ideals of brotherly love and with a willingness to forge self-interest in order to promote the latter. HOW GOOD IS YOUR CREDIT?

When these are in fine, unflagging spirit completely accomplished, then Socialism as a system of cooperative government can be so elaborately worked out as to include and provide for all that it appears to overlook; and, accordingly, will promptly into its own! -:- LOANS WHO'S WHO IN THIS ISSUE FAY JACKSON'S—Major interest is in the field of philosophy.

The vocabulary is the vocabulary of the common people. There is not an expression, if we except a few technical terms of theology, which would pursue the rudest peasant. We have observed several pages which do not contain a single word of more than two syllables. Yt no writer has said more exactly what he meant to say. For magnificence, for path, for vehement exhortation, for subtle disquisition, for every purpose of the poet, the orator, and the divine, this homely dialect, the dialect of the plain working men, was perfectly sufficient. There is no book in our literature on which we would so readily make the fame of the old philologist's English language, so book which should tell how well that language is in its own proper wealth, and how well it has been improved by all that it has received.

To our refined forefathers, we suppose Lord Roscommon's "Essay on Translated Verse", and the Duke of Buchinghamshire's "Essay on Poetry", appeared to be compositions indefinitely superior to the allegory of the preaching thinker. We live in better times; and we are not afraid to say, that, though there were many clever men in England during the latter half of the seventeenth century, there were only two minds which possessed the imaginative faculty in a very eminent degree. One of these minds produced the "Paadise Lost", and the other the "Pilgrim's Progress". GEORGE ELIOT A. 100% B. 90% C. 80% D. 70%
