The far thinking element of the Caucasian race has long since realized the necessity of having such places, and has successfully met he issue in the establishment of beautiful Country Clubs upon which we have wistfully gazed with admiration and longing, but the thought of fa Country Club and Cabin site location of our own, has been to us, similar to the thoughts of being a millionaire. There have been several attempts locally on the part of various groups, to establish such a place for our people, but for various reasons the project was not realized. This land consists of two hundred forty (240) acres, only 14 miles from the City limits of Los Angeles, just off the main boulevard, nestled in the bosom of Charley Canyon, one of California's most beautiful spots with hundreds of beautiful oak and Cottonwood trees, canyon dells and wooded retreats, canys, gurgling springs and babbling brooklets fanned by a constant breeze of pure mountain air.

Alleged Suit Brings Forth Bitter Reply Mays, in Counter Attack, Hints Chisum May Have Been Employed by Pullman Company Chicago, Ill., April 24.—The Mays-Chisum controversy waxes warm! As the Pullman Porter organizer and the veteran newspaperman exchange words there is much walling and gnashing of teeth. R. L. Mays' assertion that he would sue Melvin J. Chisum for $10,000 damages, alleging defamation of character has been met with a bitted retort from the field agent of the National Negro Press Association. Mr. Chisum declared in a statement to a Pittsburgh Courier reporter: "This writer has made the statement that Mr. Mays is a frequenter of buffet fats; that he plays the painted belles and rendezvous in their gulled haunts. If it becomes necessary (and this writer will call names and count noses, will give street and number and location of Mr. Mays' line of flats. And more, this writer will also provide the dates and days and this叭ilter's companions upon exactly eight consecutive occasions which stand out above the regular." Mr. Chisum makes the following statement: "On Friday night, April 4, a telephone call came to Mr. Oscar DePriest about 11:20 asking that he call at the Harrison street station prepared to get Mr. R. L. Mays out of jail on bond. Mr. DePriest and I went to the station house looking for Mr. Mays to get him out, but the desk sergeant informed us that no one was booked under that name. Trude on Monday, April 7, charged with having been picked up as a suspicious character of the bootlegging variety and the man is not yet. Mr. Mays does not seem to know of the est hunting Reserve, where deer and game of all description abound.

"Mr. Mays claims to be a lot of things he "ain't" and denies being a good many things he "am". Mr. Mays approached Mr. Oscar DePriest in February and told Mr. DePriest that he was quite a politician and convinced Mr. DePriest sufficiently that Mr. DePriest put him to work at $50 a week, which he drew regularly up to the week he got arrested. Just one week before he got arrested, Mr. DePriest having called on Mr. Mays for a meeting of his followers so that he might have the candidates address them. Mr. Mays held a meeting and there were exactly 15 persons in the house. This meeting proved that perhaps Mr. Mays was dreaming when he assured Mr. DePriest that he controlled several hundred Bullman porters whom he could swing as he wished. If Mr. Mays denies this statement of facts, I will take the pains to have the cancelled checks photographed and publish them. In the meantime Mr. DePriest is wondering how many porters know that Mr. Mays drew $50 a week as a result of his claiming that he could "swing" all Chicago men the way he wanted them to go. After much milling about South Chicago we found the officers who had arrested Mr. Mays and they assured us that he was at the Harrison street station in safe keeping. But the officers for reasons of their own did not advise us that Mr. Mays had registered under a name more fancy than his own, so we we returned to the station house and tried again, but still the sergeant insisted that there was no one booked under the name of Mays. "Saturday morning, April 5th, Mr. DePistet put a man on a job early who finally returned to 2:30 in the afternoon and advised us, that Mr. Mays at the station house under the name of John Smith—this messenger also told Mr. DePistet the Mr. Mays desired, that he (DePistet), would call Mr. Mays his wife on the (Gardiner On.

What I Heard and Saw on Trip to Chicago and Nashville (By J. B. Bass) With this part of our narrative which has run for several weeks giving an account of our trip to Chicago and Nashville, we are bidding Chicago, the Negro Capitol of the Nation, adieu. With apologies to any person or persons whom we have possibly overlooked or perhaps failed to give such mention as they deserved. However as a noewspaperman with a rho and varied experience we can ruthfully say that none of those small things enter our thoughts in writing, and we simply do and say what is on our heart to say and that's all. We are cognizant of the fact that all newspapers are conducted as the editors thereof choose to run them and we take the same liberty to run ours. We have no petty jealousies and we sing out as we like. We must especially express our appreciation for the courtesies extended to us by Chicago newspaperman and more especially to Mr. Joseph Bibb, editor of The Whip who not only gave to one as humble as the son of the Golden Week front page apper, but who in many other newspapers the hospitality and goodwill [Name] SIDNEY P. DONES, Secretary and Treasurer of S. P. Dones Co., Inc., announces his candidacy for the State Assembly from the 73rd Assembly District. Mr. Dones, who has been a resident of Los Angeles since a boy, has been actively identified with the progressive element of citizens of Los Angeles ever since his venture in business here. His stand on issues of vital importance to the race is well known. It is said that probably few men in the city of Los Angeles have been as well identified with all the people as Mr. Dones. His friends are numbered among men and women in every walk of life and if he, is elecled as Assemblyman from the 73rd District, the race will have another true and tried champion in the State Assembly and the people of the 73rd Assembly District will have a representative whose home and office will be open to everybody regardless of financial or social standing.

A cordial invitation is also extended to the judges, contestants, school promoters, and the successful ticket seller of the past Oratorical Contest; the student disposing of largest number of tickets being awarded the merited prize on this occasion.

THE 11TH DISTRICT San Diego, Calif, April 25, 1924. To the Electors of the 11th Congressional District:— In compliance with what appears to be a general desire on the part of the Republicans of this entire district to have a candidate for Congress who is in accord with President Coolidge and the Republican administration, I have decided to place my name before the party at the August-primary as a candidate for Congress. In doing so I desire to make the following statement and announcement of my position. FIRST: I am unqualifiedly for the nomination and election of President Coolidge, I admire his character and ability and regard him as the outstanding leader of the Republican Party today. SECOND: I believe that this district will be most effectively representative in Congress by one who is and has been in full accord with the administration. I am a firm believer in and a staunch supporter of, the Republican administration both in this state and in the nation and pledge my loyal support to the party in all matters for the general welfare. THIRD: The complete Federal development of the people's water and power project in Boulder County is a matter of vital interest to this entire district. I am confident in accord with the enterprise. I currently believe that most Americans will should be one who can and will approve of the administration forces. Early and comprehensive action through united efforts is essential. FOURTH: I do not want to represent San Diego County only, nor Riverside, nor Orange, nor Imperial, nor San Bernardino, nor Inyot, nor Mono, nor any particular section. I desire to place myself at the service of the entire district and to gain congressional attention for every national and local enterprise in which the people of this district have a logical interest. FIFTH: My record as an official is an open book. I have always endeavored to perform my duties faithfully, conscientiously and effectively. If I should be elected to represent you in Congress, I pledge the same conscientious and faithful efforts in your be-JAMES C. BYARS. SHERIFF JAMES C. BYERS Sheriff Byers was born at Burling Shelley County, Iowa, on March 16, 1853, shortly after the California War with a St. Paul Railroad was built through that portion of the country. Burling being one of the stations established on the new railroad that at that time had a useful extension of only a few miles between Burling, Moor and Northampton. When elected the years of age in 1881 he was appointed by the State Legislature to serve as the first official of the new state.

Mr. Macey was elected Judge of District Court. The firm of Byers Lockwood was the founded, ran ing of H. W. Byers and B. M. Lockwood. The firm continued to pr ice law at Harlan and in South ern Iowa for twenty-five years, de ing a very extensive practice.

Sheriff of San Diego County prominently six years. Sheriff Byers is a well known business man of San Diego County by the San Diego Division of the Herder Plant at Chula Vista. (For The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., May 5.—Two weeks have been filled with a group of political developments of far reaching significance. President Coolidge has "gone over the top" so far, that he has come out of his cyclone cellar of silence, and told the world that it was he who selected the venerable statesman of Ohio, the Honorable Theodore M. Burton, Congressman and fromer United States Senator, to deliver the keynote address at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. The president, it is indicated feels that he is in a position now to speak up, and express himself. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany hall, has passed on to the great beyond. As head of this ramifying Democratic organization, Mr. Murphy was able more than any politician of present day activities, to create a virile organization among Colored voters in the City of New York. A cold blooded practical game was played in New York and there was only one thing asked, results. They followed in such rapid succession that the Republicans awoke one cool November morning, a few years ago, to find that the local organization had been shot to pieces. There has been much effort recently iput "humpty-dumpty" together again, but it is taking, admittedly, "All the king's horses and all the king's men". If Gov. Al. Smith is the New York successor of Murphy, then, according to those in the knowingly, on "If. on the other hand, the crown of Democratic power is to fall on the head of George Brennan, of Chicago, then matters will "grow no better fast". Brennan and Murphy and Murphy compared notes constantly, and more than any one other person, it was Murphy who showed Brennan the deep point of going after the Coolored vote of Chicago, with the result, that in the mayoralty election last year, Colored voters hit it up for the Democratic candidate, William E. Dever, by the thousands, and the Democrats elected. Deflection in New York and Chicago had reaction in other places. Republican chieftains brushed the cob webs from their eyes as it were, and got on the job. There has been a Republican renascent as a result, and today the going is strong. The Democrats are fighting ahead for November. They are seeking to nominate in New York a candidate that will catch Colored voters in the North. They are shaping up propaganda to focus on local conditions. They are going to use the hoary headed expression that "The Democrats of the North are not the Democrats of the South". And the Republican plan to come right back with the statement: "Well, they all liked and acted alike when Walter Cohen was up for confirmation". So, all in all, voters are promised a grand conditest of hot argument, right off the griddle. The Middle, West States, including Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and too, Missouri, Kentucky and one or two bordering states, will be the big problems calling for professional political solution. In these states too, Colored voters are literally a determining solution. They are the bone of contention, the big political complex. Republicans, for the most part, at heart, they are asking for a square deal, and there are those who say they must have it. Latest figures disclose that U. S. Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois, has been defecated for nomination by former Governor Charles S. Deneen. Mally outside of Illinois are inquiring why Senator McCormick lost. He is an admitted able Senator, and it is just as readily admitted that he is a poor politician. Colored voters in Chicago, failed Senator McCormick. He was handicapped by bein; one family that owns and publishes the Chicago Tribune, although declaring on several occasions that he has no part in the policy of the newspaper. The policy has been one of studied hatred and persistent intimidation and subtle hostility to Colored America. The Senator, though he performed some direct public service for Colored citizens fallen in the knack of holding all of his triumphs so that they would "hurrah" for him. Wha Senator McCormick will do in the future remains to be seen, but it is not likely that he will give up the game of politics, for, he stated in an interview on one occasion: "I have made that my life's vocation, and if they beat me, I will come up again". The Scoring Eagle picked and supported all winners in the campaign just closed. We were for Coolidge. He won. We supported the Police Bonds. They won. We said sit tight on No. 4. They lost and we return a 100 per cent winner on vital issues. Judge Ira Thompson is away on a flying start and makes a lasting impression with all whom he meets and we fully expect him to come out high man on the judicial ticket on Angus 28th. The appearance on the streets at the last minute of James Alexander in an out sheet proved a boomerang which rapped its promoters to a fravile. And now the entries for office are expected o appear so the voters may look them over and pass upon their judgment of men at the August primaries. Rev. E. T. Hubbard stayed on the Johnson ship to the end. In fact he was the only member of our group that owned up to their support of Johnson. When last seen he was walking and talking to himself. Sidney P. Dones, well known and hustling business man, has taken the jump on all other aspirants for Assembly honors, and is the first to announce his candidacy for the Assembly from the 73rd Assembly District. Mr. Dones is a man of action, and if he puts the pep in his race as he is wont to do in all his undertakings is will be hard to beat him out. Some years ago he made a spectacular race for the City Council and demonstrated that he is a campaigner of no mean ability and an organizer as well. Dones will, without doubt, receives a worth while support from all classes, and from now on will be in the running. Well the Primary is now over and the boys will all girdle their loins for the next combat and perhaps put in a few licks for advantageous position in the campaign now before them. The May 6th primary is but a forerunner to the big show on August 26th. We are in receipt of a wire from the Hon. Roscoe Simmons, congratulating the Negro voters on their splendid showing and giving full credit for the fact that California voters of our group beat out the same group in Chicago in their support of the president. The call for the organization of a Lincoln League in this city, will appear in our next issue in which the time, and place will be announced. This will be a purely political organization with Republican bearing. It will organize for the same purpose that the National body is organized for: viz. to procure for our group the recognition due from the Republican party. It will be organized by the National Committeeman from Cajorifornia, J. B. Bass. Mrs. Lula C. Slangher has been appointed National Committeewoman for the State of California by the president of the Lincoln League of America, Hon. Roscoe C. Simmons, upon recommendation of the State Committeeman from California. She is well qualified for this position and will be in a position to do much for the political welfare of the women of our group in California. WHITE SOUTHERN EDJTOR TELLS "WHAT A LYNCHING MEANS" (Clipped by the N. A. A. C. P. From the Chattanooga, Tenn. Times of April 13th. A fifteen year old Negro boy was lynched at Woodbury, Ga., on Thursday of the past week, for having shot a police officer who had arrested him on a charge of larceny. The method provided by law in such cases for dealing with offenders is a commitment by a grand jury after an investigation of the facts, a trial by jury and the enforcement of the verdict by a constituted judge and authorized peace officers. The killing of this Negro boy was, therefore, murder; it was done in the spirit of revenge. It was done, too, by responsible citizens who are sworn to obey the laws and to give every offender under charges his Constitutional right to "a day in court." The lynching was, therefore, an act of community outlawry, otherwise known as anarchy. It will never be known, of course, what the offence of the victim was—the only evidence that he was "guilty" was the "clamor" of a mob. He had shot an officer of the law—whether he was justified or not his executioner did not stop to inquire. His tender years were no protection; he was needed as a victim to be flung to the wolves, an example to others of what would happen to them in any event, whether they acted in self defense or from a purely murderous propensity. Besides the offense against lawful procedure and the sentiments of enlightened society, this act emphasized in all its parts the total failure of our present system to maintain the ideals of a Christian people we so often and so smugly lend we are. If we were doing our duty as citizens and lawmakers, this boy would never have had a pistol with which to kill; we, therefore, must share whatever guilt was his. And yet we take him out and kill him for the very thing we are more responsible for then he! He was ignored; perhaps brought up in criminal environments—nestled and in a way depicted under the social order in which he was living. The men who killed him but had advantage of education; he had brought up in the shadow of the Christian churches and all the opportunities for spiritual and moral enlightenment a cultured community ahead. That they should from the middleway and then we go out and trench a Negro, love of God, truth, righteousness, justice, law and law enforcement respect to an act of savagery in defence of every uplifting and encouraging sentiment of their bringing up, illuminates the solemn truth, not that Christianity or the Christian spirit is thus crucified and set at naught, but that there has been a total default of men in a Christian community to model their lives and govern their conduct to the professions they make. In other words, this and similar incidents hump up with the hard, unmistakeable and disharmonising facts is still a society, for the most part, made up of pharisees. We shout CHISM CHARGES MAYS, FLEECEB PULLMAN PORTERS (Continued From Page 1) phone and tell her that he (DePriest), had sent him (Mays) out of town on Friday and that he would not be back until late Saturday night or Sunday morning. "Mr. Mays was released under bond. Mr. Mays was tried before Judge Mr. Mays As Uplifter "Mr. Mays would have some one believe that he is a martyr. That somewhere somebody is trying to discredit him. He claims to have secured the additional four per cent increase of salary which was granted the port- ers of the Pullman Company last mouth. Mr. Mays knows he had no more to do with this action on the part of the Pullman management than a man in the South Sea Islands. "The Pullman Company management invited the 19968 porters of the Pullman System to select from amongst their numbers 20 porters, each of whom would be provided with transportation to Chicago to attend a conference with the management in March, 1924. The 20 men were chosen, came to Chicago. The conference lasted for two weeks and the four percent additional increase was the result of this conference together with other benefits. Mr. Mays was not invited or allowed to attend one single meeting. Mr. Mays was not allowed to attend one single session of these representatives of the Pullman men. Mr. Mays had not one word to say or one thing to do with the task in hand. These statements can be verified by any person who is interested by writing to Mr. Perry Parker, the Wabash branch of the Y. M. C. A. Chicago, Mr. Parker is the president of the Pullman Porters' Beneficial Association, an organization with upwards of three thousand dollars in its treasury and each of its officers has a real human existence and each one is or has been an honest-to-goodness Pullman porter. Mr. Mays as a Mistake Maker "The first mistake Mr. Nays made when he get arrested, was to tell the police his name was John Smith, that prevented Mr. DePriest from being able to get him out of jail. "The second mistake was, as soon as he got out of jail on Monday was to undertake to frighten citizens of newspapers from publishing the facts of his arrest. He ought to have known that the arrest of persons of prominence, be they skilks, greeters or ullifiers is news with a big "N", and there is no denying the fact that Mr. Mays is a prominent man. Very prominent in getting the hard earnings of Pullman porters who are too busy to find out that he is fooling them out of their money. "The third mistake was when Mr. Mays insinulated that this writer was an ex-convict. his use of the word "alleged" let him one, but it was a hiat just the same that this writer has been in the business of exposing scheming grafters, highbinders and moral renobbers for more than 20 years. This writer has been sued 15 times for libel by this same litter of rats and he has never done a day in any penitentiary for his exposing of the vast crowd of fakirs in eight different states. Mr. Mays as Muzzler "Now it is Mr. Mays' turn to the his hand on the Old Man of the Fourth Estate. And for his information, this writer has an engagement with certain business men in Chicago at 3439 South State Street the afternoon of May 2 and this writer usually keeps engagements. So Mr. Mays must not pretend that he will fail to start his suit for all that money he is going to need before the grand jury of Cook County gets through with him at its next sitting. Mr. Mays' knowledge of he Pullman System "Recently Mr. Mays has sent out two releases, stating that he was the representative of more than 25,000 Pullman porters. There is only one Pullman Company in the whole round world operating palace cars and this one has its headquarters in Chicago. Dunn, Lloyds and Bradstreet each them Class A rating as business men and the Pullman Company claims to have 9,968 porters employed in its operations. What this writer would like to learn is how does Mr. Mays make 25,000 porters out of 9,968. We had not heard it used that Mr. Mays is a smoker." "Mr. Mays has a very stick scheme of mooching a living out of hard working Pulman porters. He has have an organization. He collects a fee of the small sum of $1.65 from a caterer as an alimin fee; the dues are 50 cents per month. Mr. Mays has a figurehead roster of officers so as to taste it easy for him to keep the cash and "these" the books in his own petular way. Let him deny this state men and he will be provided with more illuminating data which will at interesting to the 138 regular members of his mythical international Association."

GUS FARRIS, Secy.-Treas. E. C. HARPER, Vice-Pres. & Supervisor W. H. JARMAN, Sales Mgr. PRESIDENT GEO. W. WHITLEY'S REPORT SHOWS WEST SIDE INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION IN HEALTHY CONDITION To the Officers and Members ow assembled, I beg to make the following report of the activities of the West Side Investment Association, as your president: On April 6, 1920, I called a few of you together and latineto you the proposition of the purchase of this property, lots 1 and 2 of the Howes Fract. Block 9. The said property was for sale for the sum and price of $7,000.00—$3,000.00 cash and the balance a mortgage of $4,000.00 to run three years. Many said it could not be done but the kind people that had rallied to my call I knew there was no way to fail. With your co-operation we went ahead with only one ainf and that was success and we did succeed so well that the eyes of the race was opened for in just 56 days we were able to pay the payment required of $3,000.00 and in just six month more we paid off the whole amount. A brief history of what has been ac- cumulated in the short time. When we purchased this property we was only bringing an income of $300.00 per month or $335.00 per year. I recommend that the property be raised to $60.00 a month and we raise it to $600.00 a month and got it making us $720.00 a year, giving us an increase of income of $384.00 more year. We get more than double of what we more getting when we purchased this property. Again I suggested another idea after carefully watching the mind of rental property and taking everything in consideration I again suggested another raise to $400.00 and get it giving us another increase of income of $384.00 more per year. I have owed just recently, suggested another raise and have got it of $300.00 per month which is $984.00 per year more than what we were asking when we purchased this property. All of this has been done through the cooperation of the board of directors and members. With these different raises in our hands we has enabled us to meet all of The one most beautiful spot in the whole world, is "Lincoln Gardens," six miles east of Long Beach, surrounded by over 125,000 people, on good roads and everything to make the future nothing but happiness for people who will take the advantage. As you see the beautiful palm trees, the green grass with all its splendor, the orange orchards dingling with their ripe and juicy fruits, it's most amazing! This beautiful sub-division lies between the cities of Stanton and Westminster, the scenery is most beautiful with the jugged mountains surrounding the ethereal sky. There are no race restrictions in this beautiful garden; all are welcome. This firm has spent a great deal of time, trying to find a fine sub-division for the people; at last they have found exactly what the people want, a beautiful and level tract of land. finance or do business without being incorporated I submitted the matter to the members and board of directors, and was instructed to have the organization incorporated on October 16, 1920 received from the Secretary of State of California a certificate. We were not then i position to do business and had to get a permit from the commissioner of corporations before we could do business in this state. I reported the matter to the members and board of directors and was instructed to get a permit. On or abou March 15, 1921, I made application to the commissioners after quite a while I got the permit but was forced to go through a lot of red tape and was held up for some five weeks for first one thing and another and was compelled to file a statement of the business ability of the board of directors. It seems that there is a State law giving the commissioners a right to refuse to confirm a board of director; either elected or appointed if the said person or persons in their judgment are not not qualified and have not had the necessary business experience. Of course this gives the commissioners quite a power, but after taking all things into consideration it is a protection to the members as it gives you the right to know if an office is qualified for the position he aspiries for any person should be glad to give all information of their ability to fill the office elected. After complying with the different requests made on us we got our permit April 14, 1921. We were then in a position to do business acting on the formation of the board of directors and members to see if we could get someone to finance the building of a building on our lots. After making several inquiries in regards to the proposed building and seeking a contractor that was reliable and could help us finance the said building, I again submitted the matter to the board of directors and members ad was requested to sign up for which I did. The said contractor agreed to finance any building that we wished to put up to the amount of 50 per cent of the cost. Plans were drawn for a building to cover the two lots. 65 single rooms, 7 apartments, 5 cloest, a lobby, two private dining rooms on large dining scale 3280 is what the plans call for. I immediately figured on a conservative estimate that should be made out of such a building and to see how it could be taken care of in five 65 single rooms at $20.00 per month for two years. (8,000 apartments at $80 per month for THE FORD & FARRIS REALTY CO. five years ..... 12,600.00 5 stores at $30.00 per month for five years ..... 9,400.00 Making a total income for five years of ..... $100,000.00 As you will remember that at the start we had only 27 members at that time and a permit for only 30 members this matter I so informed you and believing that this was a proposition worth working for I re- commended that we ask the commissioners of corporations to grant us a supplemental permit for 70 additional members the said permit was granted us July 30, 1921. I recommended to you if we could get 100 members we could take care of this proposition as from their membership fee of $280 for 73 members that we needed at that time their membership fee would amount to $20,440.00 with an assessment of each of the 100 members of $10.00 would be $1,000.00 per month or $12,000.00 per year which would make $60,000.00 in five years. Membership fee from 73 members ..... $20,440.00 Assessment from 100 members of $10 per month for five year $60,000.00 Making a total from this source of And with a conservative estimate of income from building of $100,000.00 Making a conservative estimation from these sources would give us $132,442.00 No estimated revenue for two private dining rooms was made. I am of the opinion that if the same amount of effort had been kept up by the members as there was in the first six months of our organization the building would have been up now; we should keep up the system of advertising as other companies do. As you will remember that we have and we got three new members on a only advertised once in the papers, one im add. I am confident with a united effort we can accomplish what we started to do, when this building is enacted it will give employment to 10 or 15 people. I do not hesitate to say that we are the only organization in the race in this city that is in a position to do something in the way of employing the young o the race. First, we have property paid for. Second, we are making an income. Third, we are paying a dividend to put members each year. Fourth, our property is increasing in valuation each year. Fifth, we received income in rental and interest of more than $1,000 a year. The Board of Directors has worked hard to make a success of our organization, and here we leave it in your hand to judge, it is not for us to say. But to me, I believe that the Hace is willing through a long dark night, but she holds the darkest nor the longest and since at least a great increasing number is realizing that the race 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. must work out its own salvation through its own inherited strength we of this race should hope os those of no other race could or did, for the dawning of the longest and brightest of all days. I am confident that to some of our members it seems that it is midnight but do you, know that it was midnight when all the saviors of mankind have always have been and ever will be born. It was midnight when the virgin nature came and borned a son. Truth, whom to know and follow is religion, Christianity and life. It is then that those who give expression of high ideals and deepest hope of mankind hear the Angels reason and sing "On earth peace and good will toward men." Very cordially and gratefully yours J.

May 3, 1924 Rev. T. L. Griffith, 855 E 32nd Street Los Angeles, Calif. My dear Mr. Griffith: If I remember correctly the Second Baptist Church will present Mr. White at the Philharmonic Auditorium on May 14th, and I am writing to suggest that a special rate be made upon the occasion for the school children, both colored and white and that the same be advertised in the Negro weeklies and one or two of the daily papers. I have known Mr. White personally for many years and honestly believe he ranks with Ysaye and Kreisler as a violinist. During my stay at Tuskegee institute, the late Booker T. Washington summoned Mr. White to the school several times, each time he proved his inspiration to the students and a source of great joy to the adults, teachers and southern country folks. The Auditorium on Wednesday evening, May 14th should be filled to capacity by young and old, black and white and I will gladly do whatever I can to fill it. With all good wishes for the success on your work, I am. In response to the timely suggestion of Mr. Thompson, the publicity committee has decided to make for all grades and high school pupils who wear their school colors, a special admission rate of 35 cents, the tickets to be sold only at Philharmonic Auditorium, the evening of the concert. ELKS' CARNIVAL The Elks' Carnival being held all this week, is going great guns at their lot at 38th and Central avenue. The Queens' Conest will close on tonight and the crowning of the queen will come off Sunday night. Be sure and be on hand for the big doings on that night. In our last issue the grievous er-ron made by our makeup man in transposing the name of Mrs. Eva Carter Buskner, to the notice of the Exclusive I.M. Mrs. Buckner has no connection with this organization and her name was put there by a mistake for which we humbly apologize. Managing Editor. THAT CAMP MEETING The interdenominational camp meeting on Hooper avenue and 35th street, is a grand success. The large text is crowded every night. The evangelicals and singers are great and souls are being converted to GOD. Come early if PEACEFUL VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB Enthusiastic approval of the Peaceful Valley Country Club is evidenced by the tremendous demand for charter membership in this splendid new enterprise according to reports emanating from the membership committee who are naturally greatly pleased at the hearty response that has greeted this opening announcements. Professional people, leading business men, society leaders and ministers of the gospel unite in praising this forward looking plan to provide the people with the facilities / for pleasure and health that are naturally due to every resident in Southern California without discrimination. Arrangements have been made whereby 75 per cent of all membership fees are deposited in escrow under the control of the advisory committee it is stated and the expenditure of these funds for improvement and construction work in the club grounds is also subject to the approval of this committee so that all members can rest assured that the finished club layout will equal in perfection anything of its kind in California. The advisory committee charged with this important responsibility is one well worthy of confidence and support. It consists of the following people: E. B. Cerut; S. D. Cotterell, M. D; Mrs. Daisy Bally; Wm. B. Humphrey, M. D; R. D. R. Robinson, M. D; John W. King; J. G. Selby, M. D; Chas. D. Conner; Father W. T. Clegborn; B. Worsham, Ph. G.; E. Gertrude Christian; R. S. Whittaker, M. D; J. B.ass; B. B. Blair; R. A. Jenkins; Mrs. Laura C. Bragg; Dr. E. H. Robinson; Mrs. Lula Shaughter; Mrs. Nellie M. Turner; O. B. Williams and Dr. Emily B. Childress. Members who visited the club property last week were naturally disappointed to find that the hoof and mouth disease quarantine was being so strictly enforced that no one was allowed to leave the highway. However the beauty of the property even when seen under this 'disadvantage simply repaid the mfr the trip and it is hoped that the regulations will be sufficiently relaxed in the near future so that all members can make this beautiful place a regular fermina for week-end parties and picnics even before the club house is finished. As soon as quarantine measures are removed it is promised that free bus service will be inaugurated to and from the property every day for the benefit not only of the members but of those who are contemplating membership. This will allow all charter members to visit their cabin sites and to begin plane for the coming structures that will house many a happy party. Several lodge and club groups are now planning to join the Peaceful Valley Country Club in a body and to reserve cabin sites side by side it is declared. This will have the advantage that always comes from having cogenial neighbors. However haste necessary according to the committee as large areas of unoccupied cabin sites will soon be impossible to find because of the rapid rate at which charter membership applications are now being received at the head office in the Grosse building. Mr. White has had an ovation on his tour of the West. Los Angeles will not fall behind. He has played before monster audiences in London, Paris and other European cities to the supreme delight of all music lovers.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This is to certify that, as attorney for the Eastside Reality Company, I have had charge of all of the legal affairs connected with the arrangements for marketing and investigating title to land in Castalic Country Club Subdivision, containing lots near Los Angeles. Having been personally in touch with mutant concerning the title to this land ever since the year 1915 this is to guarantee that the present owner's title to said land was granted to him by the United States patent, issued in the year 1915. To assure the safety of the title, a guaranteed certificate of title is being prepared by Title Insurance and Trust Company, who will issue guarantee of title with each lot sold. For over ten years, I have often visited the land and know that it is ideally situated. SMITH & WILLIAMS COMPANY----(INC.)

The services of last Sunday at the Independent Church of Christ were characteristie of the first Sunday, and as usual, were met with high praises from the large and appreciative audience in attendance.

Both Endeavors had good lessons and attendance and a splendid program was rendered in a joint session of SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH 740 Maple Avenue Many people were turned away from the Church last Sunday.

That because a man is a good citizen and the leader of a certal group in his own immediate neighborhood, he is NOT the leader of the fourteen million of us. 3. That those of us who have not passed out of the grammar school, study human nature, must learn to accept the opinion of those of our men and women who have had training and experience. When these five things shall have been learned by all of us when they are taught to our children and our children's children, the white man will sit up and take notice. 4. That a Negro can be mentally bright, can be a first-class doctor or dentist, or elocutionist; an eloquent divinie, a celebrated teacher or a good author, without the white man first saying so. 5. That it is high time for Ngroes to awaken to one thing at least—want recognition of ability as man to man, and not recognition because of the fact that such a man is a fine specimen of Negro manhood; and that he was appointed to office because he is, or was, or has been a leadiog Negro. We want appointments and recognition to stand on merit all right. PLEASANT HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Our S. S. we as usual well attended, and much inspiration was obtained from the lesson. The entire S. S. was reviewed by our Gen. Supt., Bro. Roer. At 3:00 p. m. we had a joint Baptismal service, with Rev. A. T. Hines, at which time Rev. Reefer spoke on "The Two Baptisms, Water and Fire and Holy Ghost." After the sermon Rev. Reefer and Hales together baptised a number of candidates. It was a beautiful and impressive service, and truly the angel of God came down and troubled the waters while those two men performed God's service. Communion services were held in the evening. A good program is enjoyed each Sunday in our R. Y. P. U. You are entitled to come and take part with each evening in the week. The truth is being explained and souldered being saved. A dinner is served each Sunday after the morning news comes to our many friends and widows. CHURCH OF CHRIST WEST, CALIF. Luke Browne, Bishop, and Redondo, Cap Line THOMAS J. WILLIAMS, Minister On last Lord's Day our services were up to the usual standard. We are in the midst of our series of sermons, "Why I believe the Bible to be the re- vealed word of God." On next Lord's Day we will take up the thought, "Why I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God." My subject was found in Ephesians 413: "Endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bounds of peace." On next Lord's Day our subject will be found in the 2nd division of the Psalms, 7th verse, "I will declare the decree: The Lord has said unto me thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee." We will give four reasons why I believe Jesus Christ to be 10 a. m, and preaching at 11 a. m. All are welcome to attend these meetings of good and sound teaching in the Bible.

During the annual celebration of the deceased Honorebac Bonifacio, one of the greatest heroes to the Philippines or that occasion, a large platform for the speakers was put up in the plaza in front of the Union Railway Station, so that the procession could circle around the judges' stand in order to get rewards for the best decorated floats. While this was in action however, the most noticeable feature to be seen in the rear of every three or four floats was a man carrying signs with large red letters' Ku Klux Klan. There was barely standing room when the ceremonies began. The Hon. M. L. Quezon, General Agninalo, and the Hon. S. Osmena, Mr. Roxas and many other prominent leaders, explained to their audience that the object of the three K.s. organization was to aid the government in running down the bands in the upper provinces. At the conclusion however, every speaker flaunted his anti-American feelings over the question of independence. Some months ago the Filipinos were building gun bases in the San Jose heights of Manila faking that they were foundations for new homes, but the plans were stopped to get up another mission to send over to Americans for the purpose of making the last appeal for their liberation, but when they reached the United States, they found that they had omitted to take into account the strength of the American air force against them. The old Manila gang returned home with a changed heart and their efforts at present are to continue to pay a liberal price to lawyers and professional men who can further advance the movement. The Klanamen in aid of commercialization by organizing the natives of wealth into corporations with the object of buying up all prospective industries and lands, to the very military lines of the invaders to which will force them within the next dozen years to set a reasonable price for the country. The color of your face is now the paramount question among the Filipinos and should you happen to be one of its distinguished persons seeking honors with profit as a candidate for public office, everything is based largely upon the color of your face, which must be of very fair complexion with straight or curly hair, because it has long since been decided upon by the great majority of the islands that no person of dark complexion can be pretty or beautiful. For instance, should you go into society in old Manila the hospitality and recognition that you would receive depends entirely upon the color of your face, and accordingly every position in the government from president of the Senate down to policeman is the fairest production of the Islands. Race admixtures, the mistifiers or fair malattos, who represent from 60 to 99 per cent of the European or American the Philippines. The Spanish mistainer ladies are particularly idolized by the natives who declare that they are the most beautiful people of all the human race. And any fair malatto person, speaking Spanish is distinguished in a Spanish. In all gatherings is featured by the separation of black and yellow people, and nearly every prize from their baby shows, floral parades, to the carnivals is handed over to its mistainer aggregations. Not only are the fair malattos called the royal families by the natives, but they are at present the ruling power for the government. About 85 per cent of the Phillipines have a special crave to visit the United States believing that within two years of life in the American climate they could gain a fair complexion. The city of Manila is the fashion plate and distributing center from which all literatures and propaganda work circulates to the islands it has a population of 90,000 with about two percent Americans or Europeans. Others are natives, Chinese, Japanese and that indians. About 80 per cent of the residences are built with Mosque rows, 20 per cent is constructed with mixed material, while the remainder is American. The bank of Manila's business district borrows on the Fang River and the greater part of its streets are running in alleys, with many small buildings to them not only into the same of the many large son visiting in the United States. About 60 per cent of the local business throughout is conducted by the Chinese, who also have the prestige with trade in the American army, army and civilian. The Philippines, however, are making rapid progress in the business lines of late owing to the Klananmen methods of secretly boycotting other nations. The Americans have liberally killed the natives during the past ten years into every plan of competition against his colonized brothers, and now we can see them applying the same torch to his many instructors. Quite a number of the old American cafes in the plaza galley district are not only doing a slow business at the time but have almost become deserted for patronage. While on the other hand similar places conducted by the Filipinos are foresharing in every part of the city. There are no prohibition laws in the Philippines as yet, however, and every man, woman and child has free access to any kind of intoxicating drink. About 90 per cent of the entire native population, including the Chinese, Japanese and Indians are habitual tea drinkers. Every canteen, grocery, restaurant and public stand carries a liberal supply of the spirits. The question of independence for the Filipines among the masses has never been a popular is sue a op-of etinZZ been a popular issue. As matter of fact I find that there is less than ten per cent of the population including the educated and business men who are favorable to home rule. You will determine, however, that it is the educated and wealthy classes through their unlimited activities who have brought about world wide attention to the movement from responsible views. I shall also give great credit to the old Manila gang, who evidently put up a magnificent plea to the American people for their liberty. But not only has the gang failed to create a direct interest into the masses to the movement, but have themselves been brought down to a degree of suspicion, while the Filipinos are looking upon the Mistaseers who are now in control of affairs at Manila, both in doubt of being conscientious in actions, and their incapacity to conduct an intelligent, honest and progressive government, believing that should America grant their independence the greatest trouble would follow in the wake of transferring its power to the proper people. Whenever the leaders take a big joy ride to the United States at the expense of the people the mission will get busy and open a whirlwind campaign declaring that their policies are now complete and unmistakable and when they return to the island they will bring the documents back home in their pockets.

Advertising Rates Made Known Upon Application EDITORIALS It has been well said that the nomination and election of Calvin Coolidge will reopen the door of opportunity for our people. COOLIDGE WINS CALIFORNIA DELEGATION We compliment the voters of our group for the marvelous showing made at the polls on last Tuesday, when they went forward in almost a solid phalanx for the President, thereby demonstrating their disgust at the scurrilous last minute attack made by the distribution on the streets last Tuesday morning of a lightening bug sheet which would damn the soul of any man who would resort to such tactics for a pitiful handful of silver. The black belt of Los Angeles shows that they voted their preference for the President to the tune of more than six to one over Senator Hiram Johnson. The victory was so great and far reaching that all elements can share in the glory thereof. BARRIER TO PROGRESS We can speak freely upon certain barriers for real progress from the fact that we can qualify as one of the units who discern good in all men. In other words we maintain no malice or hatred against any man or set of men. With us all of them are all right. Should they perchance think and act contrary to our way of thinking, that is their God given right and we shall endeavor to give them due credit according to our own estimate of their worth. But we shall not decry them. Now, in this bailiwick in some instances, there is more hatred to the square inch of individuals toward one another than ever existed in the bowels of the South. This situation has stunned the growth of the rich Southland and if persisted in will destroy the vitality of the race. KU KLUX EDITOR VENTS HIS SPLEEN The following editorial from the Daily Pilot, published at San Pedro of this city is but one instance of the antipathy being made manifest not only in these environs but in all parts of the State, and it is, to our minds, a serious situation and one which must in some way be overcome. THE WATTS CASE The recent race trouble in Watts should be an object lesson to other Southern California cities. The greed of some land speculators led to the laying out of an addition to that town in which lot sales to Negroes were permitted. This, of course, meant that no whites would buy or build and soon the Negro colony outgrew in numbers the whites. Some Negroes were elected to office and the whites found themselves unable to control the situation by legal methods. And the Negroes were not nice Negroes, either. San Pedro should watch the situation closely and see that Negroes are not allowed to gain title to land by deed, contract, on rental, anywhere between Pacific avenue and the ocean on the west. A single Negro-family destroys property value for blocks around. Most of this territory is restricted, but real estate restrictions have in them many legal loopholes. Only the eternal vigilance of white property owners and a solid public sentiment can be depended upon as a protection against such conditions as those at Watts. And it must be remembered that the Negro immigration which has come to California in the last two years isn't the good old Uncle Tom kind. At least 50 per cent of it is quasi-criminal and the majority of these left the quasi behind. The situation demands more attention than has been paid to it. Now who is this renegade who would decree that because the Master made another man's color of different hue from his, that this man cannot have a place in the sun? We opine that he is just the sort who would put on a hood because he is a coward and in the night time would commit crime to carry out his decree. He is very much alarmed that somebody at San Pedro will create a situation such as exists at Watts. By that he means there are enough black people there to protect themselves, and if the Ku Klux ever get nerve enough to molest them, it will be a sorry day for the Klan. He avens that those coming to California are not the old Uncle Tom kind of Negro, and charges that 50 per cent of it is quasi-criminal and that a majority of the others left the quasi behind them. Parallel with Senator Johnson is Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia Univerosity, who demanded "a clean sweep" of the members of both houses of Congress and denounced the Senate for its "shameless contempt for the public interest and ill-mannered scandal mongering." President Butler's record is full of many political escapades in which he attempted to secure the nomination of the Republican party for the Presidency of the United States. In 1912, he made a rabid attempt to get the nomination, tried again in 1916, and in 1920 denounced with considerable acrimony General Leonard Wood, only to be made to retract his statements by his boss, John Pierpont Morgan, the exalted duke and boss of Columbia. President Butler is an opportunist. He considers himself, "the intellectual leader of the American people," and, as Upton Sinclair says, "enacts that roll with great solemnity". From state to state he has travelled speaking to vast audiences. He has degrees from every college and university in the land. He has been snch an amazing success that he has been facetiously characterized as "the lightening-charge artist". Like Hiram he waits for the wave of public indignation to rise. When it soars to considerable heights, he attempts to give expression to it. But he is essentially without the sagacity or the morality of a statesman, or the sense of obligation to the public cause to be a statesman. He is a tool in the hands of the American plutocracy, what Sinclair calls "the embodiment of cruel and selfish ideals." Like Johnson, his influence must be destroyed if America is to be made free and happy, a nation giving due recognition to its citizens, a popular sovereign, a republic wherein education is given in the spirit of altruism with the aim of making the individuals who receive it, not mere standardized clogs-in-the-wheels of other men's ambitions, but independent and enlightened citizens. APROPOS OF SEGREGATION Of outstanding importance in the news of the week is James A. Cobb's dramatic and brilliant defense of the Negro property owners of Washington before the Court of Appeals. The case is one of segregation in the residential section of the nation's capitol, and is being fought by the N. A. A. C. P. That Negroes of Washington should be shut out of the residential section of the city is simply alarming. Not only would such a fiendish plan force them into alleys and slums, but it would place them in a lower economic class, for the fact is that a man's place of residence determines often his economic rating, just as a man's occupation determines his social status. The case involves economics—economics that are plain as day; but we have not space in which to digress into a dissertation on its place in the fray. What is most important is that we hope for a continuation of this fight against segregation in the capitol city. We certainly do not want that precedent set, for like all others they spread like wild fire. Thus if the cause is lost, who knows but what it may spring up here and there and everywhere until the whole country is converted into multi-forms of segregation. It demands of us serious reflection. We cannot afford to consider it as a regional matter—that is, a matter for the people of Washington to decide, but it affects, more than we have space to explain, every Negro in the United States who would have full liberty in choosing for himself a home wherein he may rear and bear those who are to follow them when they are in their graves. In short, the inference which we can but draw if the case is lost by the Negroes of Washington is an inference which presages not only disaster to the community but calamity to generations yet to come! EDITORIALS DONT GROW ON TREES Requests for editorials on various topics of human interest, ranging from prize fights to the paramount issues of the Presidential pre-convention campaign, pour into our offices daily. While we appreciate the confidence and faith of our readers as their letters indicate, we find it imperative to state that we cannot always write editorials on this and that thing in compliance with their very grateful and respectful requests. The popular conception concerning journalism is that it can be mastered overnight, and, once mastered, it is as easy to hash five hundred words in an editorial or news story as it is to walk on the street and light a cigar. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Editorial writing, as it is taught today in our leading schools of journalism, implies technique,, consummate mastery of language, perspective, knowledge, a sixth sense for proportion. Taking these in the order given, it is obvious that the technique of an editorial is a thing flighty and full of caprice: at one moment a writer may show admirable technique; at another, technique that is remarkably poor. Technique, like style, depends not only upon a writer's personality but upon the mood inwhich an assignment may find him. Of language, the popular conception is that it is a thing cut and dried, easy to handle, responsive, simple and requiring no effort to us with telling effect; and like most popular conceptions this idea which so many entertain about language is amazingly erroneous. A wide vocabulary cannot be had in a day like a tailor made suit; and like such a suit, one's use of it cannot deceive anyone as to his status. It is a means of self-revelation: an index. He who would use it dexterously must be wary, discreet, economical. Of perspective, who would say that it is easily attained ?? It is like that wholesome and regenerating change which a man undergoes when he comes-to himself—that is, it is only attained after serious and deliberative effort just as a man cannot find his way out of the maze of difficulties until he can detach himself from the hussle bussle of a busy world long enough to get a glimpse of his own true place and function in it. It grows out of life: out of its joys and sorrows; and, singular as it may seem, some men never attain it at all. History will corroborate the remark. (Continued in next issue.)

It is further charged that this white doctor received from another patient, Will Johnson, $300 on June 22, 1923, $350 the following day and $138.50 on September 1, when the man's case was rerated, that sum being one-half the man's back pay. Later Mr. Johnson loaned the doctor $25 of which only $15 has been repaid. Despite the white doctor's premise to have Mr. Johnson rated as permanently and totally disabled, for which he took $10, he had Mr. Johnson discharged from the hospital on March 5. The above mentioned sums were paid the white doctor, Mr. Johnson swears, because he demanded them to put through Mr. Johnson's compensation claim. Since leaving the hospital Mr. Johnson states under oath that the white doctor has met him a number of times and threatened him in order to stop his telling of the murmurs. ```markdown ``` --- doctor not only displayed an "intolerable" attitude toward colored patients, but let it be known that he intended to get rid of all of them; 4.

Mr. George gives the details of the case as follows: "On the 22nd day of March, 1924, one Miss Hattie Henry, 2186 East 57th street, Cleveland, Ohio, was released service by a druggist by the name of Louis E.

Boards of Parole, has notified the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, that Ben McDaniel, a Houston Riot prisoner, is now eligible for parole and his case would be heard at Leavenworth Penitentiary in May. The letter from the Department of Justice to the N. A. A. C. P. is as follows: "In reply to your letter of April 15, 1924, I have owe you that Ben McDaniel it now eligible for parole on May 9, 1924. His case will be heard by the Parole Board at its meeting to be held next month at the penitentiary.

I assure you this case will have careful consideration". G. O. P: CONVENTION DISAPPOINTS St. Louis, Mo., May 5. (By the Associated Negro Pess). The State G. O. P. Convention recently held at Springfield, Mo., disappointed the colored delers who had expected to see one of their number selected as Delegate at large. It was generally understood former state Representative Walthall Moore of this city would be the one chosen. However, the machine controlled convention nominated Governor Hyde willed otherwise otherwise and contented itself with selecting two alternates from the colored brethren. One of these was Rev. J. L. Caston, a former St. Louisian but now of Abonville, and the other W. L. Mackee, of Pular Bluff. Amang the other delates there are credited to the race Daron E. Malone from the Eleventh district and Robert Tricfcotthmo district and Robert T. Scott from the Twelfth. This convention also adopted a plank aimed to be construed anti-Klan, but quite as mild in tone as the one put through by the Democrats a short time before. Both conventions seemed to fear the Klan to the extent they did not wish to risk the loss of votes by making strong declarations against them.

Makes Brilliant Argument (For The Associated Negro Press, Washington, D. C., April 25.—The right made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against residential segregation throughout the country, was concluded here in a dramatic way, when James A. Cobb, Chairman of the Legal Committee of the Washington Branch, N. A. A. C. P., before a court- room crowded with prominent white and colored residents, made a brilliant argument against segregation. The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia heard Ms. Cobb's argument, the case arose out of agreement among white property owners to present the sale of property to colored people through clauses inserted in he contract of sale. This form of segregation, if allowed to be practiced unrestricted, would in effect nullify the Supreme Court's decision in the Louisiana segregation case which held residential segregation by city ordinance to be unconstitutional. The new form of segregation attempts to evade the Supreme Court decision by permitting the property owner to write his own segregation ordinance into a transfer of his property. ```markdown ``` The following did justice to the redered by the Junior Board of the N.

Miss Naida McCullough, chairman of the program committee was fortunate in securing talent to parr. ate on a very highly appreciated program, that was rendered to a large gathering. The following did justice to the respective subjects: Miss Marin Matthews, a sophomore of U. C. gave a short talk on Samuel Coleridge Taylor, the late Negro composer. She seemed to be at her best: Miss Matthews showed to the large audience that she had given the subject a great deal of thought. In fact, we expect great things of her in the future. Miss Anna Griffith sang the association song "Lift every voice and Sing", written by James Welton Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson. The audience joined in singing the fist verse with good effect. Miss Griffith has a clear and sweet voice. Mr. Edwin Jefferson, senior of manual Art, high school, rendered the oration "Abraham Lincoln," that won for him the cup for his school at the oratorical contest given by the Belle Lettres Club. Mr. Jefferson is destined to become one of America's great orators. Mr. Noah D. Thompson was called to make a few remarks and he delivered a very timely address which was appreciated by all present.

Some of these reasons are prejudice and race hatred. One race with similar and unrelated features and prejudiced that they do not want to see their brother or sister occupy a place in the sun. Another reason is the fact of their inability to pay the scaring prices for a particular enjoyment which should by right be granted unto them. These reasons in this latter day have been swept aside when there has come forth men of means, of thought and of genius, who are willing to stack their dollars against prejudice or race hatred but by a real opportunity for a fair per centage of earning over the average every day citizen a real opportunity to at least have some of the joys and real pleasures which heretofore have been possible only for the rich.

It is to The Philippine Ku Klux Klan has launched a general isolation movement against all colored Americans in the islands and the main object of the newly formed organisation is not only to bar the Negro people from their Societies and intermingling in their home life, but to rid them from the country completely, particularly distilled by the Filipinos and the causes which they advance for their antagonistic feelings are for the most part wholly unknown to the American Colored colony. The noted traveler says that he has lived for many years in the Congo Free State, Transvaal and Orange River Colon as well as having travelled extensively through the South but never saw the set conditions of Race Color prejudices that would enable the little troubled Islands. Mr. Browne's letter follows: To begin with the Filipinos stand 99 per cent against all dark or black faces, 90 per cent will show in public their hatred and which are accessible to the Klansmen in furthering their isolation movements. However, some of their purposes, however, are to prevent the American Colored regiments and now every Negro man and woman must prepare to vacate the Islands. The daily operations of the Klasmen in the City of Manila against the American Negroes are in many instances too indecent for publication. However, I will undertake in the following paragraphs to make mention of a few mild incidents. Whenever a shabbily dressed Negro appears on the streets, the natives will laugh in his face and call him black just like the devil, and in many cases they will gather around you and sing songs about oh, how glad they will be when you are gone. If the colored American is walking alone in the street of Manila, he is sure to be attacked by the gently crowds who are continuously making remarks about your complexion and should not resent it, the curious man will close in and offer to light. But if you are accompanied by other Negrees, however, the word will you hear during the entire routes. Just as soon as the Filipino girls spite a Negro coming down the street they will begin to bunch in numbers with the object of running the Colored American off the narrow sidewalks, and if they are successful at the game it seems to furnish the young squaws with much merriment. Negroes who happen to be or in some opposite direction, but as when reaching an approaching distance to them on the street, they will get busy looking into show windows or ni some opposite direction, as soon as you have passed they will begin talking about you deciding that is an American Negro the worst enemy of the Filipinos because he can pass, go into crowds and meeting places, pick up everything without being noticed, and carry it back to the invaders. Filipinos of the so-called better class are the greatest persecutors however. If a Negro should make a social call upon some friendly Filipino family, it will be the gossip in that block for a week later. No colored Americans can marry into the native families, of class, wealth or credibility, owing to the present nation wide agitation. If a marriage is arranged, however, the Klansmen will seek service from the neighborhood priest who will in turn discourage the female party and finally break up the engagement. The Filipinos in Manila forbear their women and daughters from going to church shows of greed going to church shows or walking on the streets with Colored Americans. The wealthy natives have declared themselves not to rest their houses to Negroes if they in any way get them occupied by their own people. The Filipinoachers will reject the Negro children from their public schools the slightest offence, if the pupil is of dark complexion. This will probably give a better view upon the female sects. There was an accident in Manila a few weeks ago where two colored men were riding on a street car coming from Pasay when two native women boarded the car and the only vacant space was on either side of the two Negroes. They told the conductor to stop the car stating their objections, that they would not sit beside colored Americans because people along the routes might mistake them as being their husbands and the two women left the car. The latest discriminations, however, from the dance halls and cafes. The native girls are gathered and trained in the western customs of dancing and are stationed at the many places of public meetings and they are called Belloros, and the Belloros girls receive twenty-five cents from every gentleman partner for every dance. Just a few nights before the writer was leaving the islands, five colored sailors visited a dance hall and the Belloros girls walked away in a body, declaring that they were ashamed to dance with Negroes in the presence of their white friends. The Filipinos have always believed that the Negro was the weakest part of the American invasion to the islands, and whenever they read articles in the papers or receive orders from the error General anticipating that it is unfavorable to his pet independent movement, they will be immediately their retailtourists by pushing all aboard the Negroes on sidewalks along the main thoroughfares. The colored American that marries a Filipino woman at the present time, falls a quick victim to the movement Not only is the wife a target of abuse from the male and female sects, but she is extremely dangerous for their children, playing hide and seek during the chase of shaft pigments. The Filipino women have trained their children in every city where a Negro appears to exhibit fear and make a demonstration by gathering the children and running into the house, and closing the doors tight, therein contributing their aid to the race superiority part of the movement. The Filipinos endeavor to diminish the Negro newspapers, literatures and moving picture scenes, from entering the islands. Very often papers are held up for periods of tour and five weeks at the postoffice and sometimes destroyed. An investigation into the male and female Francisco and Seattle disclosed that all the cops cals had evidently reached Manila on those occasions. There was an incident, however, where the paper was not only held up for three weeks, but was taken out of its sketched and two large ugly pictures sketched on the front page, then replaced and sent to its owner. Many prominent and professional Negroes as well as farmers and residents are selling out their possessions for whatever they can get. Men who have been running hotels and cafes during the past twenty-five years in the islands are leaving for home on every transport boat owing to the activities of the Klan program. The American Negro has always expressed his undivided sympathy in the loudest tone in the past both with the rising and the struggling nations of colored people whether they lived in the Eastern hemisphere or on the Americas that your sentiments will assure you that your sentiments will change whenever you go to Asia and live among its people. At a special meeting called sometime ago by the prominent leaders in the Islands, it was agreed to refrain from reading Negro literature or taking any interest in the dark races. The Filipino people have no sympathies whatever in any kind of Negro movement or enterprises. Take for instance Filipino students and workers who have been living in the East and more central parts of the United States. Whenever they return to the Islands nearly every one has long stories to tell their friends at home about the role of duplicity that he played among the American Negro women. All Filipinos, however, leaving the Islands for the states regard the Negro as the most special instructions by the leader of the trend schools, colleges, churches, stop in hotels or marry among the American Negroes. And if they cannot intermingle with the whites then the association of Chinese which is more preferable. How the Filipinos shape up in civilization with Negroes can be judged in the following lines. Ninety-five per cent of the female population in Manila and the island of Luzon appear on the streets smoking cigarettes and large cigars, 99 per cent cat their food with their bare hands, while knives, forks and spoons are almost unknown factors, 99 per cent of the island populace is of the Catholic faith, 95 per cent has an exact reproduction of Chinese faces and features. Four and five families will occupy only two rooms while fish and rice is their only diet, and I dare say without fear of contradiction there are not one hundred native women in the whole island group that could prepare a decent meal for civilized man. One of the women in the beds, wear shoes and clothing while 99 per cent wear pieces of cloth and rags around their bodies, and who are declared by the Spanish as being only a half naked race. Ninety-nine per cent will sit down, eat and sleep on the floor, while beds, chairs and tables have not yet entered the natives' modern life. Here is where the Filipinos get the big head. Under the Jones law, or provision of that act now in operation, in the Phillipines giving the natives almost an unlimited control over the island affairs. The Jones Bill also specifies that certain laws can be passed passively and passed over the head of the Governor General, if it becomes necessary. It can easily be determined however, in these lines, from where so many Filipinos get their high imaginations. Let us all admit however, that some Filipinos have been trained earnestly and carefully into all branches of the American system of government, and as such into all industrial lines but under no circumstances would that be sufficient to class one subject race as superior to another. But if the Phillipines have at last become too good for the Negroes to live in in contentment, and the natives are allowed to humiliate them to the lowest degree of mortification under the American rule, it is very necessary that both the United States and the Negroes should become immediately objectionable to the Filipinos. The Negro press, churches, and the various organizations should get together on this question and remain until a safe and same agreement satisfactory to both on this question has been decided upon. Race superiority over, colored Americans was first preached to the natives under the rule of Governor Harrison, the agent who sold everything to the Filipinos but the American flag. The natives also claim to have entered a compact with the famous Governor according to which they were not only to outrank the Negroes in the army and navy but to place them in a subordination to that in the Southern States. The natives, however, point with pride to his rank in the navy and declares with much braggadocia that no Negro in any army ranks above that of a sergeant, while the Filipinos have as many captains, lieutenants and majors. Another point that might embrace the Filipinos' way of thinking is the American government and its military departments, which have always discriminated against colored men. Take for instance, if a soldier or non-comissioned officer, white, wishing to leave the army there, goes into civilian life he can go to any of the islands and secure a position within three days, namely conductor on cars, police, detective, fireman, custom house, postoffice or the many mansions while Negroes have never been accepted in any of the above positions since the American occupation. And should a Negro soldier leave the army without retiring, he must hustle a job among the Filipinos at a native wage. The Filipinos advance a few causes for their hatred of Negroes, claiming that the early teachers of the American invasion all teachers and missionaries taught them that Colored Americans belong to an inferior race to the Filipinos, because they were engaged in the United States only in the service capacities, second, everyone of my instructors declared a prominent Doctor, has always warned me that Negroes must not be allowed to enter the life of the Filipine people owing to the large number of Americans who have selected wives amping the native women and don't want Negroes to marry into their families. An old timer stated that it had not been for the stubborn resistance of Negro troops which brought fear to the populace during the insurrection, the Filipinos would have easily gained their independence more than twenty years ago. Here is the Filipino history on the Colored Americans as it is actually understood on the islands. That all Negroes are born in Africa and brought to the United States and later sent to the Islands and accordingly the most intelligent natives think Negroes of fair complexion come from the North. While those of dark colors hail from the South. Some views on how the Filipinos conduct their national affairs and their customs in regard to transacting business. They have an insular form of Government, which is entirely centralized by the natives and the operation of its laws is quite similar to our own individual states, which is composed of three main law making bodies, Court of first instance, lower house of assembly and a Senate. The transactions of business in the latter, however, can be compared favorably in acting to that of fifteen year old boys in the United States. Whenever the Senators have many important bills to put thru the Senate which the natives call a stormy session, on nearly every occasion meetings are broken up in fist fights with violence. in the lower house after a special investigation. I will state that every Bill or law noteworthy that is put before their people as well as the many advance arguments for their complete dependence has been from by the American business men of the islands and well paid lawyers. At the termination of an annual trial is a sight to behold, and a scandal the visitor will never forget. The defenders and their relatives will wander around a table in front of the judge old, young men and women, and will fall on bended knees, groaning and weeping while others will roll on the floor and cry like little children. There are no Counts with law and jurors as yet, however, a native judge is the only jurisprudence. In the commercial affairs here is no sandard price upon any article of value, either in the markets or in stores. The question is how much money can you get from the customer and accordingly the price is set. All Americans must pay double the price for every article, take it or leave it, and if the dealer can't get twice the value from his American customers he wishes to hold it for his own people to whom he can always sell at the regular price. The Island School system compares with the United States country districts of thirty years ago.

Where there is only a sprinkling of the real natives now living around Manila Bay they can be seen however very numerous in the Stolenburg and Bagino districts. They have always been overlooked both by the government and the various missionaries having become deteriorated, and are now going the same route as the American Indians. About 70 per cent of the land and some of the best soil of the islands is not yet under cultivation, however, owing to the present natives having flocked to the large cities and there become lawyers and boxers, which is now very favorite vocations.

ALPHA PHI ALPHA TO CONDUCT ANNUAL EDUCATIONAL The Alpha Delta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity is preparing to stir Los Angeles and its surrounding communities during the week beginning Sunday. My 18th until Sunday, May 18th inclusive, when it will conduct its third annual "Go To High School Go to College" campaign. This is a national movement with Alpha Phi Alpha and each of its fifty chapters will exhaust every effort to urge every colored youth to continue with his studies, and to take advantage of the most opportunities available to him, for the pursuit of a higher education. The magnitude of such a movement was focefully reflected in the words of the late Warren G. Harding when, in commending the Alpha Phi Alpha Educational Drive of 1923 he said, the need for effective work with the colored people is very important and manifestly it can be accomplished chiefly through the equipment of members of the colored race to do educational work among their classmates" in which the educated Negro realizes that with the modern social complex he must redouble his efforts if he would gain complete recognition as an unqualified citizen America. And he realizes in addition that an education is the single medium through which this is to be attained. Timely and inspiring programs will add color to the campaign. On Sunday, May 11th, the chapter will launch the campaign with an Educational Fete given in conjunction with Pi and Epsilon Chapters of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority who are concluding their Educational Week on that date. The affair will be held at the home of Malcolm Patton, 1106 E. Pico St. on Friday evening, May 16th, 7 P. M. On this novel occasion one of the most prominent members of the faculty of the University of Southern California will address the young men. A gigantic Mass Meeting will be held at one of the local churches on Sunday, May 18th. The time and place will be announced in the next issue of this paper. The many friends of the fraternity and indeed every member of the race should stand ready to aid Alpha Phi Alpha in "carrying on" its greatest service, namely—to encourage others to develop and to develop the development and to demonstrate the moral, social, and intellectual value of college life.

Constitution written by "misleaders theorists", and confidence that the sections providing political equality to Negroes in the South will not be obeyed, are expressed in an editorial clipped and sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from the Greenboro Daily News of April 15. The editorial is as follows: Governor Pincho is quoted as saying nl reference to a speech by Senator Watson, "every self-respecting, law-abiding American must resent the spectacle of a Senator of the United States publicly confessing that he does not expect the Constitution to be obeyed." Indeed? Well, if that is true, we must not be self-respecting, law-abiding Americans down here in the South. At any rate, we have not resented, and we do not resent, the spectacle of Southern Senators publicly confessing that they do not expect the Constitution to be cheyed. The Constitution, remember, endeavor to put Negroes on precisely the same political footing as whites. In that respect it has not been obeyed since the Reconstruction governments of the Southern States were overthrown, nd there is no indication that it is likely to be cheyed at any time in the near future. There are individual Negroes who make better citizens than a great many whites. These individuals can, and do, vote in mind. But the great mass of the Negro population has not been, and is not now, sufficiently tranied in the duties and responsibilities of citizenship to be given the balance of power in any American commonwealth. This is nothing to marvel at. It took many centuries of exercise in self-government to bring the white man to his present proficiency in the art; which is none too great. The Negro has had much less than three quarters of one century's experience. The wonder is that so many individual Negroes have already become reasonably competent. Therefore for a Southern Senator to confess publicly that he does ot expect the Constitution to be obeyed is simply to confess that he expects common sense to pewill over the rules laid down by honest, but mistaken, theorists. Is there anything in that for self respecting, law abiding Americans to resent? It seems to us rather the duty of self-respecting, law-abiding Americans to applaud any member of the Senate who has the honesty to get up and say what he really thinks. But it must be confessed that that practice is so rare in American public life that when a Senator does indulge in it he is likely to disconcert all his hearers.

Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of Mound Bayon, in Mississippi, was the son of a Montgomery who was the slave of Joe Davis, brother of Jeferson Davis, leader of the former confederate states. The Davis brothers owned plantations in Mississippi which were contiguous to one another and were virtually operated as one. Soon after the war, the Montgomery's father and son, arranged to buy both plantations, for a consideration of some $500, an undertaking which failed only because of a money panic which struck the tire country soon after the transaction. Later, Isaiah, the son, founded a Negro colony at Nicodemus, Gan, and ni the 90's aranged with the railroad company to take vef 30,000 acres, the present site of the successful Negro town of Mound Bayou.

Like its universally quoted predecessor, THE GOSLINGS discloses a shocking amount of culpidity, greed and corruption in grammar schools both private and public. It is a vassal and amazing collection of data. It is charmingly written, is marked by a flashy wit which keeps the reader in a state of breathless anxiety over what may next follow in Mr. Sinclair's elucidations. It is, moreover, typical indication of the facts of THE BRASS CHECK, THE PROFESSORS OF RELIGION and other widely-books published by Mr. Sinclair which are notable in their astounding revelations; and although it may not hold for the student of the literature of social protest the same deep, controlling appeal which THE GOOSE-STEP holds, it nevertheless is indispensable to every one who desires an accurate exposition of the conditions—sordid as they are—in our public schools. For it should be remembered that the place which Upton Sinclair holds in the contemporary literature of America is decidedly similar to that which Mr. H. G. Wells holds in contemporary literature. Both have a singular genius for attack. Both are crusaders. Both are Socialists, and both are anti-communists. But the termination to point the way to social progress or to fall valiantly in the cause. To be sure, it is to be noted that both are energetic, that there is a friendly competition between the two in writing and putting before their vast audience of readers books which are quoted and used by high authority in an infinite number of instances. Thus our mos brilliant ivonelist writes the author and says: "You have just saved a bit of your property by getting ahead with your "Book of Life". I should have been at that in a year or two. I may do it still in spite of you. Why do you always think of things first. I am older than you. I have read both your books ("The Brass Check" and "100%"). I will not say anything about them. I will not draw upon them. I shall use up the whole morning and meanwhile you will be getting ahead." It is, accordingly, not difficult to tell of Mr. Sinclair's true place and function in the world of affairs. His is a mind spectacular, energetic, brilliant. He is one of the most widely read and most universally quoted writers of our day; and in THE GOSLINGS he has demonstrated his skill and has given exhaustive treatment to a subject which, though regrettable the fact may be, false and erroneous assumptions have brazenly distorted, so that the average mind is wont to think of American education as something big and impressive; something beneficial; something that is controlled by honesty and superseded by scrupulosity. Not only that, but also by truth, for "the aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment to all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality". Says Mr. Sinclair in his Introduction: "Life has given you one of its precious treasures, a child; a body to nurture, a character to train, a mind with endless possibilities of growth, a soul with hidden stores of tenderness and beauty—all these are Nature's gifts. Modern science has shown that within the child's soul lies magically locked up all the past of our race; also, it is evident that within it lies all the future of our race. What our children are now being made is what America will be." "You send these little ones to school. Twenty-three millions of them troop off every week-day morning, with their faces newly washed, their clothing cleaned and mended. You bear them, you rear them, with infinite pain and devotion you prepare them, and feed them into the gigantic educational machine. You do not know much about this machine. You have turned it over to others to run. Every year you pay to maintain it a billion dollars of wealth which you have produced by real and earnest toll. You take it for granted that this billion dollars is completely used; that those who run the machine are giving your twenty-three million children the best education that forty-three dollars and forty-seven cents per child will buy. "gang" which runs the school system of the United States; how they got their power, what use they make of it, and what this means to the bodies and minds of your twenty-three million of little ones." He then proceeds to show how the public schools of Los Angeles are controlled by a group of political shysters. He makes a satirical comment on the "Times", Hollywood, our criminal syndicalism law, and tells in chapter two of his adventure with the University Club of Pasadena, in which he was asked to lecture on THE GOOSE STEP, only to be declined the invitation after the personnel of the organization had found out that he had the courage to verify everything published in his books. He then tells of his experience in trying to get relief for the sufferers in the San Pedro harbor strike, of the part played by the "Times" in the well known case of G. Bromley Oxnam and takes up in chapter thirteen the existing conditions in the public schools of New York. From a discussion and engrossing portrayal of the sordid conditions in the schools of the country, the author takes us in chapter thirteen into the school life of the city of Chicago. He thence opens up to us other fields of study where the profiteers of big business and crooked politics are no less strenuously active in keeping from the people of this and that community the proper facilities which should go along with education in a free country. The concluding chapters discuss "The GooseStep" and its critics, and the developments in the college world since its publication. In the last chapter of the book, Mr. Sinclair makes an appeal to our educators and shows them how they may minimize the defects of our present educational system through unity and resentment to the capitalist world: "I have now said my say, concerning both colleges and schools. I have given two years to the subject, have written nearly four hundred thousand words on it—and these words are the truth to the best of my ability. The problem now up to the American school and the school and college file of school teachers and college professors; the tens of thousands of devoted men and women who are giving their undivided thought to a glorious ideal—the delivering of every child in a whole nation from the curse and enslavement of ignorance. "This great cause has many enemies—and some of these enemies will try to use my work to spread distrust of education, and cut down the money supplies of both colleges and schools. I wish to exploitially that the purpose of my study is the very opposite of this: I owlid have the American people devote to this cause ten times the money they do now devote—I would have them give all that is given, so that the money can be free from the charity of the rich. But I want them, while giving their money, to give also their time; to study the schools and school problems, and see that their money is honestly spent for the children, and that educational policies are in the hands of men and women who love the children and believe in freedom and enlightenment—not, as too often at present, in the hands of intriguing politicians, and the symphants and hirelings of vested greed. The aim of my two books is to set our educators free from this control of selfish private interest; to teach them the position in a society which is ruled by organized exploitation. I am not for a moment overlooking the fact that educators are idealists and social ministrants; but I assert that they are also members of the intellectual proletariat having nothing but their brain power to sell, and I appeal to them to realize their status, and to act upon the realities and not the fairy tales of the capitalist world. The educator is a worker, a useful worker, and the educator's place is by the side of all his brothers of that class. 'Workers of the world, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains; you have a world to gain.'" In summary, THE GOSLINGS is one more monument to American education, sordid and damnable in its extent and shocking in its implications. C. T. UPTON SINCLAIR: THE MAN WITH A MESSAGE It is only common prudence that we should esteem the high ethical values which have given life, and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, to those staggering multitudes who were born with an inherent right, morally, to equality of opportunity; but it is singularly insensitive td disregard, or to superficially investigate, any plan whose ultimate purpose is to elevate those moral attributes of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from a challenging level of more nomency, to higher plane of vigorous actuality. On every hand, we meet people who are typical representatives of every type of human existence; and, after entering into the depth of their confidence in their abilities, we have welcomed be one universal appeal: "Justice with sympathy", "liberty, law and justice", "democracy under law", or, to be more exact, "Social Democracy". And yet, so many numb-skull authors, enebrated by the exuberance of their own blessed ignorance, have imperimently insisted upon grafting false doctrine about "Social Democracy" into the minds of unthinking people who would compose a more valuable position in the manlyity if the doors of their minds were completely shut from the passing review of national or international problems. Murder, robbery, burglary, theft, misdemeanor, larceny, and along line of other incriminate reactions, are caused, primarily, by the absence of social democracy. The people incensely cry, "We must have more public order, more public peace, and more public safety," but I can assure you that your supplications are, and shall be, urgent than insulting, until the public eye has been opened to the crucial necessity of social democracy, and until public action has sponsored a more wilful determination to remove the underlying causes of social disintegration. He who presents a plan which strives to combat strife, and rebellious disorder, however successful it may be, or however colossal may b e failures, or he alone, has fulfilled major objectives, and has scientific leadership. For after all, the efforts of official leadership it determined by the amount of consecutive service rendered by the leader. Those persons who have kept in contact with contemporary writers of prominent distinction are doubtlessly acquainted with many of the literary contributions of Upton Sinclair. Most short-sighted writers rather accept the opinions of mighty authors, powerful editors, and college trained pedants, and call him a "Scholar and a Prophet". Influential men and women throughout the country recognize the name of "Upton Sinclair" as synonymous with "Social Democracy". A group of surface-thinking basmic orators used to denounce Mr. Sinclair as being a dominant exponent of cheap radicalism" and "emotional sociology", but on the contrary, he should be considered as a progressive liberalist because his work of literature based upon pure democracy is gradually undermining that damnable barrier which has obstructed ur progress as a nation from its very birth. Upton Sinclair is meticulously called a scholar because of his practical insight into affairs which are bleeding the vitality of this country. He is even more competently termed a scholar because of his acute aptitude in proposing accurate solutions to such problems. As a prophet he has foreseen the rapid growth of a great incoming group which shall take the position of a great middle class. Being followed, at first, by only a few dissatisfied laborers, Mr. Sinclair continued to write with such precision, and finality, that alert minds are to-day studying him with a spirid to learn. He has exposed the ends of America's political, economic, educational, religious, and moral corruption. He has told of how J. Pierpont Morningstar, the founder and director of affairs and policies of Columbia, and other prominent Eastern Universities; of how many Hall, in New York, determines the political elections; of how a few millionaires have shaped the economic interests to pamper, pet, and feed, their selfish appetites; of how the church record book is filled with the names and addresses of countless hypocrites and human demons; and finally, of how other forms of depraved and unscrupulous living is hidden from the observation of the common people. Mr. Upton Sinclair, the "Scholar and Prophet," comes to you in these forms through investigation and research. Will you not strengthen your mind by reading the contents of "these column?" LLOYD C.

NATIONALITY AND STYLE If we confine ourselves simply to the consideration of style, we shall have reason to think that a people among whom this is neglected wants one important intellectual aid. In this, great power is exerted, and by exertion increased. To the multitude, indeed, language seems so natural an instrument, that to use it with clearness and energy seems no great effort. It is framed, they think, to the writer's hand and so continually employed as to need little thought or skill. But in nothing is the creative power of a given writer seen more than in his style. True, his words may be found in the dictionary; but these they lie distanced and do not that a wonderful life does breathe in compacting them into his sententious Perhaps he uses no term which has not yet been hackneyed by ordinary writers; and yet with these vulgar materials what miracles, does he achieve? What a world of thought does he condescute into a phrase. By new combinations of common nwords, what delicate lines or what a blaze of light does he pour over his subject! Power of style depends very little on the stricture or copiousness of the language which the writer of genuine employs, but chiefly, if not wholly, on his own mind. The words, arranged in his dictionary, are more fitted to depict his thoughts than the block of marble in the sculptor's own mind marble in the sculptor's shop to show the conceptions which are dawning in his mind. Both are inert materials. The conceptions which come from the soul; and the amorous creative energy is manifested in the production of a noble style as in extracting beautiful forms from lifeless stones. How unfateful, then, is a nation to its own intellect, in which grace and force of style receive no culture.
