Hon. Phil Swing Must be Returned to Congress, Business, Expediency, and Merit Demands That Swing Be Returned As the Candidate Be Returned to the Capitol A new era is dawning in politics for the Negro. There was a time when he studied all questions—National, State or Local from the personal standpoint. "What is the gain or benefit to me as a Negro?" In this new era he is considering himself a part of this commonwealth and consequently he approaches the questions of his country, "What is the benefit to my Country?" In the proportion as he does this in the same proportion is he being recognized and benefited in this great country in which he lives. In the Eleventh Congressional District, comprising Imperial, Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, San Diego, Incy, and Mono Counties, there is a large Negro vote and this people is called upon to act intelligently, in the matter of securing a Congressman. Hon. Phil Swing is the present incumbent and is candidate to succeed himself. The argument for Mr. Swing to succeed himself is the same to the Negro vote as to the white vote. Needs and demands cannot be separated. 1930 CLAIRE T. VAN ETTEN Who recently announced his candidacy for Judge of the Superior Court, is said to be thoroughly qualified for the position, having practiced law in Los Angeles for many years, and having for the past seven years been Professor of Law at the University of Southern California in this city. It is the unanimous opinion of the many lawyers who have studied under him that the election to the Superior Court will measure up to the high standards which should be required of members of the Judiciary. 1) As a Republican, Mr. Swing is a staunch protectionist. We may attach to the slogan of the G. O. P. this, that, and the other bad, but with slavery eliminated its next greatest asset is "Protection to the industries of this country." Mr. Swain is a staunch supporter of protection to the citrus industry of our foothill counties, the mining industries of our mountain counties, the fruit and grail industries of our valley counties, and the industries of our seaports. 2) He has launched effective legislation for Newport Harbor and as Congressman has been instrumental in securing larger appropriations for San Diego Harbor than any of his predecessors. (3) He is alert to the welfare of the citizens of his district and he has had the manliness to use his influence with the administration in having the Mexican border closed, thus giving to our youth a chance to escape the dire influences of that section. (4) He is readily recognized as the great exponent of the Boulder Canyon Dam and the All-American Canal. The feasibility and desirability of his proposition is seen in the fact that both President Hardin gand President Coolidge endorsed the proposition; Cabinet officers have endorsed it; all the political parties have writ- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details. It appears to be a grayscale photo of a person, but no identifiable features or characteristics can be discerned. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. We appreciate most highly the signal service and real worth of Perry W. Howard. We know that he has stood in the forefront of battle at all times, that his people should have a place in the sun. We are glad to see him to be rewarded in part for his valiant and unselfish devotion by being elected to the exalted position of National Committee from his own State—Mississippi. He has served for four years with credit and distinction as Assistant to the Attorney General and we have an abiding faith that as National Committee he will meet every requirement and serve most faithfully the constituency which he represents. ten into their platforms their endorsements and leading Congressmen have not only endorsed but have promised it their loyal support. (5) He supported the Bonus Bill and not only has he supported it but in numerous instances has he been instrumental in being of great service to the men who went with him to the front and offered their lives in the cause of Freedom; be it remembered that when, his country called, it did not call in vain and Phil Swing with others braved the dangers of war. repudiate Hon. Mr. Swing will be to turn back the pendulum of progress. Merit should be rewarded. Experience and Ability count. We have a Man. We don't need a sample. Messenger Editor Slips In Upon Us The many friends of the Hon. What a record for a Congressman! Even his enemies could not ask more. A staunch Republican—not one who promises but one who does; alert to the interests of his entire district— Valley and mountain; inland and sea; city and country. But in addition Swing is a tireless worker—not a pink tea Congressman—but a virile red blooded man who takes his cath and his pledges seriously, who is not a tool of predatory interests, who does not cater to popular paler but who does the right as God gives him to see the right. A district is honored by such a representative. Swing has given to the Eleventh Congressional District more genius, wholesome publicity than it has ever had before. The only reason given for nominating his opponent is that "Swing has not worked with the administration." Go to the records. The records will show that there is not a more faithful Congressman. He is a member of no bloc, but insists on doing the light as he sees it. You can trust a man of this stripe. Legislation of great benefit to the Eleventh Congressional District is now pending. Swing is the man who started it. Swing is the man to whom the country is looking to "Carry on." The time is not propitious to put our affairs into the hands of a novice. To repudiate Hon. Mr. Swing will be to turn back the pendulum of progress. Merit should be rewarded. Experience and Ability count. We have a Man. We don't need a sample. Messenger Editor Slips In Upon Us The many friends of the Hon. Chandler Owen, brilliant editor of the New York Messenger will be delighted to know that he is in our midst. For without previous warning he slipped into the city on last Friday. Mr. Owen stated to the staff editor that he decided to forego his usual strenuous lecture trip for this year, and as he is busily engaged in some special preparation for the coming campaign, that Los Angeles offered him just the location and opportunity to prosecute his mission. However, on being discovered he has been deluged with invitations and requests for addresses and no doubt before he leaves he will be prevailed upon to speak to the people of this section. Since writing the above we are informed that th e East Sisters Club has drafted him for a date on August 11th, the place to be announced later. ATTY. E. C. JENNINGS By C. A. B. It is positively strange reasoning why there should be any argument as to who is who in the race as candidate in the 13rd assembly District. At a meeting where there were assembled about a hundred of the peri- "UNDER TWO FLAGS" Romantic Drama presented by Young Peoples Lyceum, Thursday Eve., July 31st at Independent Church: Admission 50c. G. A. Beaver, Jr., Directress ASA KEYES WEEKS ELECTION TO OFFICE WHICH HE NOW HOLDS Hon. Asa Keyes, the present very efficient District Attorney of Los Angeles. County has announced his candidacy election to succeed himself at the coming primaries. August 26th. He present his candidacy on his record as a public official who stands absolutely at all times for the interests of all the people. His friends are legion among all classes who will leave no stone unturned to secure his election. ous thinking citizens and the other prospective candidates were present Mr. Jennings was the choice. At the close of said meeting the people went away smiling, feeling that the 73rd Assembly District was ready to show the whites of this vicinity that we were acquainted with our handicaps and disadvantages, consequently we were ready to unite our strength and send another representative to the Assembly to keep a watchful eye over the doings politically in the State that affect our interest. The women of the 73rd Assembly District who, upon all occasions have demonstrated unselfishness, have decided that in spite of whatever opposition Atty. Jennings shall represent at the next session of the Assembly, and in the next issue of this paper they will tell you why they are for Jennings. REPUBLICAN PROTECTIVE LEAGUE INDORSES CHIEF HEATH Chief of Police, R. Lee Heath enters upon his new duties with the best wishes and high regard of the thousands of people who know him personally and of all the people of Los Angeles who know of his efficient and proficient work in behalf of the City as a member of the Police Department. ```markdown ``` In everything that has concerned the good order, safety and welfare of the Colcred people of this city, Chief Heath has been an active force when any matter touching our group has come under his attention or consideration. His treatment of the men under his command has always been based upon a strict policy of merit and entirely free from partiality or prejudice. That the law will be enforced without fear or favor is known to everybody that knows him; that all men in the department will receive a square deal and be promoted according to merit and ability will be the aim and pleasure of Chief Heath. The Republican Protective League feels that every life and home comes in for the greatest degree of safety and security possible under an efficient management of the Police Department with Chief Heath at the helm. LAKE ELSINORE A POPULAR VACATION RESORT Among the popular couples to spend their vacation at beautiful Lake Elsinore are Mr. and Mrs. Ivan J. Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Lowery who are down for two weeks vacation. COMMENTS We strained our necks trying to locate the Plane. The whirr of the moter was audible but we could not see that swift flying messenger of the air. We were looking for the Postal Air Plane which brings to you a letter that has been mailed in New York 32 hours before. "There he is! See, See!" And sure enough silhouetted against a silver cloud the Pilot circled as graceful as a sea bird and settled on the field. 0----00----0 How strange it seemed: There are numbers now living who remember the oxen plodding along toward the West for months and years before the traveller reached the end of the journey. Then came the fleet Pony which cut the months to weeks and the swift steam driven machine on iron rails which reduced the weeks to days. And now, hurtling through the air with the speed of a meteor, comes the Airplane which has reduced the days to hours. 0----00----0 They are exhibiting a seaplane in New York, it is the property of the Colored people. We have a few aviators, but, have we enough? Don't we want to see some of our young men skimming like a bird through the other carrying the mail of the United States, and making our bid to keep abreast of the march of progress. But then we hear someone say: What's the use, my color will bar me from ever being employed in such service! Faint heart: 0-00-0 Did you notice that in one of the athletic events at Colombes Field in France that two young men of the Race placed 1:2 and scored for the United States. Why were those two young men chosen to represent the flower of his young manhood in athletic prowess? It was because they had proven their efficiency in open competition. They had proved that they could jump further than any other men, white or black. 0----00----0 We often say that "our color is the barrier to success" but otenner it is because we are not efficient. We don't seek to excel the other fellow: we are satisfied to come within striking distance, forgetting the handicap which we have to overcome. We have in mind the son of a life long friend who studied and mastered the wireless. If he had been of a faint heart the pessimist would have discouraged him, but he proved his efficiency and today is stationed on one of the great ships of commerce. 0----00----0 Now read this: We are going to give word for word just as it appeared in one of the great dailies a chain of which reaches millions of readers every day: "Negro Scientist Finds Treasures In Plants "With magic touch Dr. George W. Carver the Negro scientist who for the last thirty years has been a member of the faculty of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, has opened a treasure trove of nature. Concealed under the guise of a sweet potato, a peanut and a bacon, nature has hidden a myriad of useful products, and these have been disclosed by Dr. Carver who was born in a slave home on a Missouri farm. The record of this scientist today stands: More than 100 commercial products from the sweet potato, 200 from the peanut, and more than 60 from the pecan. "Not stopping at that Dr. Carver has transformed a lump of southern clay into beautiful colors, one of which is the Egyptian blue, the secret of which was believed to have died and lost to the world with the ancients of the Nile Valley."

MARY KINDRED, Chairman Committee CONSTRUCT Complete Facilities for INVESTMENT Small Monthly or Weekly Pays Under the Short Term Plan ```markdown ``` By John A. Gray The National Association of Negro Musicians is holding its Annual Convention this week in Cleveland, Ohio. The plans an dpropositions for this year are wide and far reaching in their scope. The adoption of a national constitution and by-laws with a definite plan for the numerous branches throughout the country is of first importance. This much needed step is the only way of linking up the activities of musicians in different parts of the country. It is the only way in which any great program can be launched and it is the only way of developing Negro musicians. rnconu e Ok Raon cloy nB [Gor he local branch, known by the title of the M. P. A. is striving hard to interest the local musicians in this national movement. It has been endeavoring also to interest them in local development. No group of people can be really interested in a movement of national import until it is vitally interested in its own local development. Los Angeles has about 25 teachers of piano a dozen or so teachers of violin, 6 voice teachers, two pipe organ teachers, and an unknown number of teachers of various other instruments. There are a dozen or more choir directors and hundreds of students and performers. This city should have at least amembership of 100 active members and 500 associate members, and the local is planning to launch a great membership drive this fall. The M. P. A. is about four years old. During that time it has accomplished the following things. It has made the first move to link up the local musicians in a community effort. It has given $160.00 in cash prizes to successful contestants, in the students contests. It has given numerous programs and community songs. It has encouraged only the best in music and stood for the highest ideals in citipaid all its expenses and financed all paid all it expenses and financed all of its work without the great blare of trumpets or shouting of the multitude. Such a steady, quiet, earnest effort is not likely to attract large numbers from the start, hence the active membership is smaller than it should be in proportion to the musicians in the community. The coming season will be the greater opportunity for musicians to co-operate and build up a strong local that will not only help the community to prosper, but will be a valuable spoke in the wheel of the national body. One of the things that the national will do, is the publishing of an official organ. A magazine devoted to the interests of music and to the activities of the various locals. In this way ideas and programs will become universal. All professional musicians are urged to become active and activity means work. With many working the burden is light and the progress rapid. The only was to broaden is to come in contact with those who are moving on. The exchange of ideas and mutual understanding is of inestimable benefit to those who would develop their faculties. Building Campaign Order Pilgrime' Home and Hospital and Ad visory Board Meets At a Special Call Meeting of the Advisory Board of the Pilgrims' Home, Inc., and Hospital, reports of the Association's activities were received by the Board and carefully considered. Th meeting was held at the Young Women's Christian Association, 1108 E. 12th Street on Friday night, July 18th.

CALIFORNIA EAGLE AUTOMOTIVE SECTION There perhaps never has been a time when conditions offered a better opportunity to the person desiring an auto than are obtainable now, and hundreds are availing themselves of the present opportunity. Just to get a line on who owned automobiles and why I recently approached twenty-five owners and out of that number, I gathered the following information which may be of more than passing interest to the public. I found that out of that 25, seventeen owned homes that were fully paid for. That five were buying homes and owed from $500 or $150 balances, and that three had no property whatever. I found that thirteen had over two children, that four had families of one or two and that of the remaining eight, five were single and three married. The twenty-five machines represented a total value of $34,750 of which $12,275 was invested in new cars, and the balance in used cars that were yet serviceable. I found that eleven owners depended on the automobile for their livelihood, and were more than successful. It has been circulated from time to time that the automobile was a luxury overly indulged in by many of our group, and while the 25 interrogated did not represent all the owners, it showed that the average person was entitled to enjoy the distinction of owning an auto, if he was able to own a home. I do not think a general average would deviate in the least from the canvas made of the twenty-five owners. I can see no difference in a good used car and a good house, and in one chance to purchase a used car. I can't help but say he is using good judgment under ordinary circumstances. It is errulous to think that the group is a bunch of joy riders, so let us before accusing our auto' owners of such investigate and we may find that after all the average auto is owned by persons fully able to financially carry the burden rather than by the worthless element. Lubrication Of Ford Engine And Transmission The advice of the Ford Engineers regarding the proper lubrication and care of the engine and transmission of your car is undoubtedly the best you can get and it is wise to follow their instructions. They tell you to carry enough Oil in the reservoir so that its level is between the two pet cocks. When the level is so high that the oil will flow out of the top pet cock, you are wasting oil. When is it level with the lower pet cock or below it is not enough. Between the two is right. It is always better to carry too much than not enough, for too much can do no real damage, but not enough will ruin the engine. Because the Ford is the hardest car to lubricate, and especially on up grades the front of the engine does not get enough oil, too much care can not be exercised. There is no other detail in the care of your Ford that deserves as much attention as the matter of oil. "Solve the problem of lubrication and you have solved 75% of your troubles"—the Ford engineers tell you so. Use only good, new oil; don't use oil that has been used. Don't add oil to the supply. Drain the old oil at intervals of 500 miles. Don't put kerosene in the engine for rinsing. When the engine is new, the bearings are tight and the wearing surfaces are not smooth. At this time the greatest care must be exercised in the operation of the car. That's why a quart of oil is put into the gasoline tank. You can do more damage to the engine in the first 500 miles of driving than the next 2000 miles will accomplish under normal conditions. In other words, the engine will fun smoother ever after, and will last a year or more longer if you have been careful to run it at a speed no greater than 18 miles per hour during the first 500 miles. Summing it up - Run slow for the first 500 miles. Use no kerosene (coal oil for rinsing. Use only good, light or medium grade oil and keep the supply near the level of the top pet cock. There is no other effort in connection with the care of your car that will pay such dividends in longer life and satisfaction than proper attention to lubrication.

Dr. Boysten preached an able sermon, both morning and evening, and the effects of the sermons are the high compliments and tributes that are being given to him by the big audiences that were in attendance. This was special financial day and while a number of the members were absent, as members are when the pastor is absent, those present responded liberally and the result of the rally totaled in the neighborhood of $1000.00. A mock wedding, known as the "Fatal Wedding", given under the auspices of the choir auxiliary on last Monday night was meritorious at the high praises and the same was an appreciative success.

STRONG AND FEARLESS DECISION RENDERED BY JUDGE OF SUPERIOR COURT, CHAS. S. BURNELL-JAS. H. BATE vs. WM. J. JOLINS, ET AL. The following decision rendered by Judge Charles S. Burnell of Department 4. Superior Court of Los Angeles County, is of such strong trend and outstanding for justice and mercy. We feel that the space and sacrifice in giving it publicity is more than whorth while. It marks Judge Burnell as a man who at all times and under all circumstances stands for law, justice and a square deal. This is a case where James H. Bate was accosted and beat up some months ago by police officers. They white-washed the case in the police department and before the Police Commission, but Bate took his case to the Superior Court and this is the decision handed down by Judge Burrell. JAMES H. BATE vs WILLIAM J. JOLINS, et al.) DECISION OF THE COURT THE COURT:—Well gentlemen, I think this is a very, very clear case indeed. There is no question in my mind that this incident took place just about as the plaintiff said it took place any more than there is any doubt in my mind that these police officers not only were guilty of absolutely unwarranted, inexcusable and cowardly brutality, but that they have gone on the witness stand and committed willful, deliberate, absolute perjury. There is no question about that at all. The facts themselves are so clear as hardly to need any comment. It is inconceivable to the court that the incident could have taken place as these perjured witnesses testify that it did. It is inconceivable that when this man was accosted by two men—I must call them "men" because they are of the male sex, that is the only reason I do it, for certainly otherwise they do not deserve to be called such—the two men who claim they told him they were police officers, that he should immediately have tried to run without attempting to make himself known or showing his badge and his authority, when, as a matter of fact, ther was no evidence, and not any evidence, but not even any claim that he was at that time doing anything which would make it appear that there was something that would require or make it advisable or necessary for him to escape. It is inconceivable, I say that that could withstand it said it did happen. On the other hand, the testimony of the plain fiff which impressed me as absolutely truthful, compacts with reason and with the other facts in the case, namely, that he did show them the deputy sheriff's badge and told them he was an officer, just as he testified. It would be the most natural thing in the world for him to do, for anyone to do, for that matter, upon being accosted by someone who claimed he was an officer and asked what he was doing, and to have stated what he was doing and who he was. It is the duty of any citizen when he knows the person who accosts him is an officer so to do. So I do not believe for one minute that Mr. Bate did not show his badge to those officers or explain to them who he was. Now, there is nothing in the case not a single scintilla of evidence to show these officers had the slight reason to believe or to even suspect that Mr. Bate had committed or was about to commit a felony. There is absolutely no ground in the evil ```markdown ``` The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale background with a faint, indistinct shape that could be a logo or a graphic element. There is no text present in the image. For Judge of the Superior Court place on the beach of the Superior One of the ablest lawyers and pro-Court.gressive citizens is the Hon. M. I. He is receiving a strong support Grossman, well known Attorney with from all classes of our citizenship and no doubt will be well up among offices in the Merchants Nationalthe leaders at the Primaries August Bank Building who is aspiring for a26th. dence to justify any assumption on their part that he was committed or misdemeanor. Of course an officer has a perfect right to arrest without a warrant, as has a private citizen, a party whom he suspects of having committed a felony: but there is no ground, as I say, here, to even suggest the fact that these officers believed that this man had committed a felony. He was peacefully going about his business, as any citizen has the right to do. I do not credit the testimony of these men at all that they showed him a badge, because, as I say, it does not comport with truth and reason and logic. And, moreover, their whole story is shown to be false by every circumstance in the case. I might say it falls of its own weight. If they had shown this man the plaintiff, their badges, and if he had pressed tad been taken to the police station under protest and still was resisting, even so, he was within his rights, because a citizen has a perfect right to walk the streets of the city without fear that he will be taken without any charge being lodged against him, or even any suspicious circumstances, and admittedly these men acted without any warrant whatever. On the other hand, of course it is the duty of every citizen to give information concerning himself, especially at late and unusual hours of the night, if he is asked to do so by an officer, one who discloses himself to be an officer. But I do not believe that these men ever did disclose the fact that they were officers until they got this man to the station. I further believe that the story of their dastardly, cowardly brutality is substantiated by the fact the two witnesses who have nothing whatever to gain by this case, One, Mr. Robinson, the head janitor of the county buildings, and the other, Doctor Bullis, testified to seeing these bruises up Mr. Bate. Lieutenant Williams, who is an entirely reputable witness, testified to these bruises, and to this man holding up a handkerchief to a cut, as did also Lieutenant Garrett. Now, the fact that this plaintiff had these bruises and was bleeding, showed these traces of some violent handling several days after this affair of September 19th, supports his story, and certainly does not support but throws discredit upon, if indeed any additional discredit need to be shown, on the testimony of the police officers to the effect that they did not handle him roughly at all. They would have the court believe that all that was done to him was that one officer placed his arm around the neck of the plaintiff "necking" him, as the witness said, and that no force was used; as one of these men said, he was not kicked, that he was not punched, that no one hit him with a blackjack, that no one jerked him or assaulted him. In other wards, that they simply, gently deposited him in the car, and no violence was offered at all. They would have the court believe that despite the fact of the testimony of even other police officers as to the plaintiff's bleeding and bruised condition. That fact alone of course throws discredit upon their whole story, which the court believes to be entirely and absolutely false and deserving of no credence whatever. Now, then, as to the matter of damages, it seems to us that the plaintiff in this case has erred in a rather unusual way of asking for such small amount of damages. As a rule a plaintiff who is entitled to about $1000 damages ask for about $50,000 or $100,000. It seems to me that the damages asked for are exceedingly modest in view of the inexcusable, outrageous and brutal treatment that this man Bate received—treatment absolutely unjustified and unwarranted. It seems to me that it is not going to increase the respect of the people of California for the law and its administration if the police department retains in its personnel men who go around assaulting and beating up people and law-abiding citizens, hitting them with blackjacks, kicking them through the street, and even choking them, as was done to the plaintiff here. Such men are not only unit to be members of the police department, but they are, to say the least, undesirable citizens of the state. The judgment will be for the plaintiff for $2000 damages as against all of the defendants on the first cause of action, that for the assault and battery, and for $500 on the second cause of action, that for the unlawful arrears o the unlawful imprisonment, rather, and $15 for physician's bill. In other words, the judgment will be as prayed for $2515, with interest and costs. Do you want findings, Mr. MacCay? MR. MAC COY: I won't say at this time, if your Honor please. If I desire to do so I will let Mr. Works know. THE COURT: If you decide you don't want them you had better have a written stipulation and have that filed. Unless findings are waived the counsel for plaintiff will please prepare findings and judgment in accordance with the views expressed by the court, which are as mild as proper and decent language will allow. I do not think it would be possible for me to express the contempt I feel toward this sort of inexcusable, cowardly, brutal treatment of a citizen by these officers. It is a positive disgrace to the police force, a disgrace to the city of Los Angeles, and I intend personally to take this matter up with the Chief of Police and do what I can to see that the police force is rid of such disreputable, cowardly vermin. DR. A. J. STOKES IN GREAT REVIVAL SERVICES Despite the fact that the week-day morning worship is a new feature in the religious work of the est, the services held at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church for the past ten days have aroused the people of that community. Every morning at the hour of eleven, a group of enthusiastic, eager worshippers lifted their voices in song and prayer before Dr. Stokes began his discourses. Such messages he did bring! Never will they be forgotten by those who heard. The seed sown by the truths imparted will bring forth fruit even a hundred fold, for the people of Zion have been revived. Sunday morning a glorious revelation on "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea"—Rev. 21:1. stirred the crowd until the crowd with loud voices and with tears in their eyes cried out. Sunday night another wonderful message on the "All Conquering Church." Forty eight accessions to the church up to this writing, thirty-three for baptism is a grand record for the city. Sunday will be the crowning day of the services. Dr. Stokes will speak Sunday morning on "The Bee, as Illustrative of Christian Activity and Ability". Sunday night Dr. Stokes will speak again. Baptismal services Sunday night. Come to Mt. Zion, Sunday 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. 50th and Hooper avenue. We present to you a brief sketch of the life and birth of Elder Wm. Carson. Who was pastor of the Apostolic Faith Assembly, at 1198 East 23rd Street, Los Angeles, Calif. Eld. Carson was born in the state of Missouri, July 19, 1860. In the year of 1812, he received the baptism of the Holy Ghost according to the record of the Acts of the Apostles, spoken of by our Lord himself. From that instance he was called from the ministry of Jesus Christ, to preach the gospel of peace which brings glad tidings of good news. Elder Carson went to the city of Chicago, in the state of Illinois, in 1913; there he was joined in matri- mony to Mrs. Emma Carson, the one whom he now leaves behind. Elder Carson continued in the ministry touring through the country. On the 27th day of April, 1922 he came to this city was received by Elder Driver and was permitted to preach the gospel of Christ in his church Two weeks after which he desired to continue his ministry in this city. Therefore he secured a tent by the assistance of his brethren. The tent was reared on the corner of Hooper Avenue and 18th street. The gospel was preached. Many heard the truth believed the word and received the message of salvation. These meetings continued about 18 months, and Elder Carson gained many faithful friends while on the contrary there were many obstacles in the way. But this did not hinder his object he had in view for he had purpose by the grace of God like David of old to build a house for the name of the Lord and his people and this he did which you now behold, "Thank God". On the 19th day of August, 1923, at 2:00 p.m. the building was dedicated to the Lord and services have continued until our pastor passed away. Several months ago, Elder began failing in health yet at times his would seem through the prayers, of the saints he would have complete victory in his body and rally to the services of the Lord. And on and on this way was repeated until about four weeks ago when he was confined to his bed: there he grew weaker and weaker. And on last Saturday, July 12, after having his desire fulfilled, that is, that he might live to see Elder F. I. Douglas and talk with him to whom he gives. The Church of God, To oversee and feed the flock, which Christ purchased with his own blood. This all was granted him and done in Jesus name. Elder Douglas arrived here Saturday morning, sat by Elder's bedside and conversed with him for some time and several hours later he lay sleeping away in peace with his hands folded across his chest. He passed away at 3:30 p.m. July 12, 1924. Shall we miss him? Yes we shall. And we thank God for his labor and service, for we hear the voice from heaven saying. "Blessed are the dead which die in Christ from heircforth; Yea saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them". And again we hear these words. "Behold, I show you a mystery we shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed in a moment and in a twinkling of an eye". At that last trump. "For the Lord himself shall from heaven with a shout with the voice of an archangel and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are believers remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord". During the illness of Elder Carson his wife was faithful at his bedside day and night for several months, doing all she could to comfort him who now mourns his absence with a host of friends sharing her bereavement.

Courteous Treatment and Satisfaction Guaranteed 1301 E.9TH STREET PHONE: FAber 4099 FIVE thousand persons jammed the auditorium of the commendous First Methodist Church (white) just Sunday night, two thousand more packed the big radio room to capacity, another thousand stood in the vestibule, while more than three thousand were turned away, when Charles Satchle Morris, Jr., the famous youthful orator delivered his celebrated address on "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject." The vast throng, one of the largest in the history of the First Methodist, which is the biggest on the Pacific Coast, accorded the spokesman a tremendous ovation. At the same time that young Morris appeared before the Los Angeles audience, he was speaking to a quarter of a million people in every section of the country over the radio installed upon the platform. His eloquent plea for interracial good will and amity was thus carried over the entire nation. The crator discussed his theme from three phases: (1) What the white man is doing for the black man (2) What the white man and the black man are doing for each other (3) What the black man is doing for himself. He declared in part: "Frequently pessimistic persons believe that the eworld is growing worse day by day. That appears to be true. But I a impersuaded that evil is merely more aggressive and militant than good. It is quite customary for the respectable people o the earth to be passive and resigned to the sway of wickedness. What is true of the world at large is more particularly true of the relation which sustain to what we are pleased t o call the race problem. However, if America is to survive and glorify he righ destiny wrong must be vanquished and right must triumph." "There is a pronounced tendency for the best of the dominant group to look upon the worst of the subject group as representatives of that group. I beg you to assume the Christian attitude. The black man in this republic is the acid test of the Christianity and courage of the American white man. In proportion as my weak and often-times defenceless race is justly treated will the Caucasian succeed not only in the martrs of trade but in the grander realm of human service. No man is independent. No race is independent. We all are interdependent. What affects one, affects what hurts one, hurts all. What helps one, helps all. In the bejeweled constellation of this republic's hope, the black men must be a shining diadem". The huge church was filled to overflowing at 6:30 p. m.

PEDROTTI Announces Himself as a Candidate For STATE SENATOR From the 29th Senatorial Dist. Subject to the Primaries VOTE FOR H. M. BROYLES Candidate for the Assembly From the Subject to the Republican Primaries, August 26, 1924 ORT DANCE—FRIDAY ORCE POOR ORIGINAL Mouser And Legislation For The People Frank H. Muster served three times as a member of the assembly during which time he was a member of the State Prison Reformatory Committee. He learned there had been a riot among the prisoners because of poor and insufficient food. He visited the State penal institutions to investigate, was invited to dine with the warden, preferred, however, to eat with the prisoners at their table that he might learn first hand from the prisoners if their complaint was justifiable and judge of their bill of fare at first hand. He found that the heads of state institutions were buying and paying for the food and getting "second chastity" and giving "second chastity" and feeding in the cost with the contractor. To stop this craft and injustice, he, with others enacted a law, creating the position of state purchasing agent, and giving this agent power to purchase the food for all the state institutions. No complaint has been made against the food, and no food riots have occurred since that time. He learned also that prisoners who broke the prison rules, or did not just please the guards, were punished in a cruel and inhuman manner. Such methods as the straight jacket, water cure, the dungeon and hanging by the thumb were in vogue, and were being meted out to the unfortunate victim. And, again, he with others, provided medical and surgical treatment for the unfortunates and a half holiday and the use of the library for the inmates. This brings out the gold in Mouser's character and shows that he is intrinsically a lover of fair play and opposed to inhumanity at all times and all places, and favors giving the under dog a square deal in the full meaning of that much abused term. He learned also that a young man had been committed to the State prison, not because he had personally committed a crime, but because he was with the party that committed the crime. Again Mouser's hatred for injustice made itself manifest, and he was sentenced to prison. Man was the sole support of an old father and mother, and a wife and a few months' old baby. Investigation showed that the young wife was supporting the two old people. He asked for the young man's parole. The young man was paroled and is now supporting his old mother and father and baby, and is making good as a barber. Mouser also prevented a colored boy from hanging for six months until he was satisfied that the boy was same when he committed the crime. He was sentenced to further humanitarian enclosures, successful endeavors too, of Mouser's in benefit of fortunes, his sympathy for men and women at the bottom of the industrial heap. The voters in the 29th senatorial District should see to it that Mr. Mouser is rewarded for his splendid efforts while in the Assembly, as he is now a candidate for the Senate. They should try to help his support and but him over the top with arousing majority so that he may continue his worldly work in this higher and more important position. "I have never talked to a prisoner who complained of a penalty for his crime or at reasonable rules or government in the management of the prison or punishment. A prisoner never blames society for his misfortune or plight. In nine cases out of ten they blame liquor for their faults, and the trickery of lawyers in the trial and the judge who gives them unjustly long sentence and sometimes the prison officials for their inhuman treatment. All prisoners recognize that there must be law and penalties for violations, but they insist that they have a fair and important sentence of the same length for the same offense as received by the richest criminal and that they receive humane treatment while serving the prison sentence. I believe inside the prison walls a prisoner should be healthfully and sufficiently fed and clothed, should have a healthy sleeping room, should have proper medical and dental treatment, should have physical deficiencies corrected, should have genuine industrial occupation, should be someone else's trade, arn should be given-clean, moral instruction. I believe all prisoners should have certain schooling and the privilege of the library. The idea of sending men to prison is not alone to punish them, but if possible to reform them. I say, it is just as much a crime for the people of California to permit prison officials to abuse and starve prisoners, as it is for a prisoner to break the law. "It is the duty of government to provide social conditions in which men can be honest and law abiding. It is also the duty of men to be law abiding whether these conditions are necessary that public crime shall be prosecuted. Keeping a community well is more important than taking care of sick individuals. There are some people who say that society is guilty for all crime. That is not true. Both society and the individual are guilty for the crime that exist. Society is responsible for the conditions that cause social crimes to increase or decrease. The individual who plea to crime is individually and society is the guilty party. It is the personally guilty and cannot plead as an excuse for his own crime that society is the guilty party. I tis the duty of society and the individual to work together to abolish crime. Eastside Republican Club And Young Republican Club Unite "United We Stand: Divided we fall" The Eastside Independent League has adopted the above slogan, the spirit of which is entering into many of the smaller political and civic organizations, and convinced of the truth of the slogan these organizations are consolidating with the Eastside Independent League with the earliest invention of "putting over" some of the important measures confronting our group in the present political campaign. One of these organizations, composed largely of first voters, at a recent meeting adopted the following measures and instructed the secretary to submit to the Eastside Independent League a copy of their action, all of which is very gratifying, whose purpose is to do the greatest good to the greatest number. Young Colored Citizen's Republican League On last Tuesday evening the executives of the Young Colored Citizens Republican League, were called together to decide on a permanent name for this new organization. Since the founding of this organization the name has been a bone of contention and has, to a certain extent, retarded its progress. At this meeting these points were taken under consideration. Whether this not this genius would be a good idea to support of any particular party rather than the support of a candidate, regardless to his party: whether or not a word designating the race should be used with the name. After a deal of discussing and debating, is was first decided that because of the fact that the interest of their race is not a major interest to either the Democratic or Republican party, or any other party, in fact that the young citizens should lay aside parties and work for candidates whose records show beyond a doubt, their fairness to the race. Therefore the word Republican was struck out and replaced with the word independent. Also it was decided to strike out the word colored, because it was decided that in making a distribution of race, the effect of distribution of distribution is laid. A resolution to that effect was, therefore, adopted. The organization will now be known as the Young Citizens Independent League of California. It was decided that because of the political inexperience of the officials of the Young Citizens, Independent League, and because of the commendable work of the Eastside Independent League, D. A. Graham, Jr., was authorized to negotiate for a confederation of the Eastside Independent League and Young Citizens Incorporated. He decided to call a general meeting in the near future to plan an active program for the coming campaign. Signed, D. A. GRAHAM. Campaign Manager. J. W. Coleman Receives High Endorsement For Political Preferment According to the Boyle Heights News, one fellow townman and all around good citizen, the old reliable and only John Wesley Coleman is moving up and will be heard from at the August Primaries. We are pleased to quote from the Boyle Heights News as follows: "Coleman Seeks Place On County Committee John W. Cocieman, one of the leaders of the colored people of the city of Los Angeles, has filed his petition for election to the republican county central committee. Mr. Cocieman has been a resident of the East Side for the past thirty-seven years, having lived at the same address, 2196 New Jersey Street, at that time. He is a man of considerable means and ample time to serve his party on its county committee. He is a life-long republican and wishes the Heights News to say that he endorses the candidacy of William Byrne for the assembly, Dr. S. J. Fine, Lawrence Bloom and Benjamin Karz for membership on the county central committee and he was good enough to say that he would give the Heights News publisher his endorsement for the state senator if Mr. High qualified for the place. THE POLYGON Released by the Department of Public Service, City of Los Angeles. Printing out the fact that power bonds, which will not cost one cent in taxes, must be voted at the August 26th Primary election, if Los Angeles is to continue to prosper and grow industrially, the Citizens' Power Bond committee has launched a city-wide campaign in behalf of this taoist. Headed by Shirley C. Ward, prominent attorney and business man, the Citizens' Power Bond Committee took steps several weeks ago to have the State Railroad Commission make a survey of the Bureau of Power and light and make definite recommendation along that line. Recently the State Railroad Commission officials recommended that $140,000,000 bonds is needed to help finance urgently needed improvements and extensions to the Municipal Power Bureau's distributing system. Drawing attention to the urgent necessity of voting the proposed $15.500,000 bond issue and committing upon findings of the State Railroad Commission, the Citizens Power Bond Committee has issued the following statement: "The Citizens Power Bond Committee fool that the State Railroad Commission report, covering an detail the City's power plant light and power business, shows in a light and possibly never done before, what the media assert Los Angeles has in her power and light development." "The Commission' s statement that $10,000,000 will be available during the three year period, from surplus earnings of the Department and that $8,000,000 will be the net surplus earned, after all sinking funds and interest charge on all outstanding bonds have been paid, is a showing that the citizens of Los Angeles might well be proud of. "The expenditure of this s$7,000,000 net earned surplus, plus the $16,000,000 bond issue recommended by the Railroad Commission, and to be voted on August 26th, or $24,000,000 will be spent over the three year period, will only put the City's electric distribution system in class condition, but will take adequate care of the pressing; needs of present power users, as well as put Los Angeles is in a position to meet the requirements of new manufacturing concerns who are constantly investigating manufacturing conditions, and seeking locations on the Pacific coast. "When you take into consideration the conclusions of the State Railroad Commission and the further fact that the voting of these bonds will not add one cent to our taxes, this Committee feels that these bonds should carry without a singlet vote being cast against them. This Power Bond Committee earnestly solicits every citizen, not only to vote for the power bonds, but to urge his neighbor to do likewise." MISLEADING RUM ORS CORRECTED M. B. Atty. E. C. Jennings The opponents of Atty. E. C. Jennings who is standing for nomination for Assemblyman for the 23rd Assembly District, have maliciously circulated the report that Atty. Jennings has not resided in that district the required length of time. To refute that false statement the following do: Atty. Jennings is a Bishop, County Counsel for Los Angeles County, is published, in toto, for the satisfaction of all concerned and to set aside the false humor; Attention: W. M. Kerr "DEAR SIR: "You have presented to us the case of the candidate for the legislature who has not resided within his district for a year but will have resided for that length of time on November 1st next prior to the general election, but after the primary election, and have asked us whether you should certify to his nominating petition. Our answer is that you should. "Article IV. of section 4 of the California Constitution provides: "Sec. 4. Senators shall be chosen for the term of fours, at the same time and place as members of the assembly and no person shall be member of the senate or assembly who has not been a citizen and inhabitant of the state three years, and of the district for which he shall be chosen one year, next before his election." "We believe that term 'election' as used in this section refers to the general election and not the primary which letter is to be regarded for this purpose as a method of qualifying candidates for the election and that, therefore, the candidate herein questioned is legally entitled to be voted for at the general election. "However, it is not necessary to decide the question on this ground as w e believe it is clear that for another reason you could not refuse to certify to his nominating petition. "Article IV. Section 7 of the Call formula Constitution provides: "Sec. 7. Each house shall choose its officers, and judge of the qual- ifications, elections, and returns of its members." "It has been held that this power in the legislature is an exclusive power and that, therefore, the courts are not permitted to decide on questions of qualifications of candidates for the legislature, and this rule applies when the objection is that the candidate has not been a resident of this district a sufficient length of time to qualify under the rules of the law. The question is squarely decided in ALLEY v LELANDE (1912) 164 Cal. 56, where in the Court stated: "The Court*-J. Henry Bacz has been nominated as a Republican candidate for the assembly in the fifth assembly district. The secretary of state has certified to the county clerk of Los Angeles County. that he is the Republican nominee for member of the assembly from that district. It is alleged that he is ineligible for that office by reason of non-residence. The county clerk-has been requested to strike his name from the official ballot as such candidate, and has refused. We are asked to issue a writ of mandate compelling the clerk to comply with that demand. The constitution of the state (Art. IV. Sec.7) reads as follows: 'Each house shall choose its officers, and judge of the qualifications, elections, and return of its members.' By that article the assembly is made the exclusive judge of the qualifications of its members. The law providing for an official ballot cannot be held to have changed the intent of the people in adopting that constitutional provision that the assembly should be the sole and exclusive judge of the eligibility of those who elections is properly certified. For this court to undertake to try the question of eligibility to deprive the candidate of any chance to be elected, would simply to insure the jurisdiction of thenssembly. 'The petition is denied. 'Inasmuch as the court cannot decide on such a question, we believe it is clear that the Registrar of Voters an administrative officer, cannot no so and therefore you should certify to the petition. Very truly yours. EDWARD T. BISHOP. County Counsel "HUMANITARIANISM" KEYNOTE OF PEDROTTI CAM PAIGN Assemblyman Jos. L. Pedrotti, who is waging a vigorous campaign for election in the 29th Senatorial District, is author of many humanitarian measures which are now the laws of the State. Mr. Pedrotti has represented the 65th Assembly District in the State Legislature since 1920. Among the measures which he has successfully sponsored through the Legislature are: A bill providing for five more Superior Court Judges in Los Angeles County; thus relieving the congestion of the Courts and facilitating the administration of justice. The Road Highway Bill which allows prisoners in the State Penitentiaries to receive a compensation of $5 per day for work performed on the State Highways and State roads. This bill has saved the tax payers of the State Thousands of dollars in that the prisoners not only buy their clothes and food but contribute to the support of their families which would otherwise fall upon the populace at large. The amended Nurses' Bill which reduces the period of training for nurses from three years to two years and four months. The Bill as thus amended relieves the nurses in training of eight months of menial work which had no bearing upon their required studies. Assemblyman Pedrotti voted for the limiting of fees charged by private Employment Agencies; for the strengthening the act regulating such agencies; for raising the qualifications of Deputy Sheriffs and marshals; for strengthening the eight hour law for women; for the Anti Blackmailing Bill; for upholding the law against child labor; the upholding of contracts for employment outside the State; against the re-establishing a poll tax; for increasing maximum compensation allowed under Workmen's Compensation Act; for the upholding of the Workmen's Compensation Act. On the question of reappointment he says, "I have always been in favor of reappointment and have been a champion for that cause in my two terms in the Legislature and will do all in my power to bring proper representation in Southern California. In enforcement, says Mr. Pedrotti, I have only one addition where any group of persons take the law in their own hands, especially lynching. I believe that those who participate in this crime should he punished by death". Mr. Pedrott has been an ardent champion of prison reform and is tory Committee of the reformalUpratory Committee of the Assembly. He was also a member of the Ways and Means Committee. Mr. Pedrott while attending the grammar schools and other places of higher learning in the city of Los Angeles gained much attention as an athlete. He is married and is Vice President of the Rosabell Plumbing Company. He is a member of many fraternal organizations and has been indorsed by the following associations; Southern California Hotel Men's Association, Los Angeles Apartment House Association, Los Angeles Restaurant Association, Creeper of America, Retail Drugstaff Association of Southern California, Merchants Master Plumbing Association. Candidate M. H. Broyles Issues Sizzling Statement In Reply To Charles Made By Women's League To J. B. Bass, Editor: "For the information of your readers, including those misled women, Clara Hulbert et al., whose credulity has misguided them into letting some evil minded person sign their names to a libelous statement published in your issue of July 19th, wherein they call themselves "District Community League". I am handing you for publication in your issue of July 26, the following statement of facts, so that any Republican electors of the 73rd Assembly District, who may have chanced to read that libel, which court proceedings, will be properly informed respecting my conduct as might involve the alleged signers in their candidate for the assembly. 1. June 22, 1924, verification deputies, registered Republicans of the 73rd Assembly District, circulated nominating petitions among Republicans of the District, who voluntarily signed such petitions nominating me as the candidate for 3rddinCb7 miniatro as the candidate for the Republican nomination for the Assembly from said District. 2. June 22, 1924, the said verification deputies handed in those petitions with many names than was required to place me on the ballot as the candidate for the nomination of the Republican party for the Assembly from said District. 3. June 24, 1942, I filed the said nominating petitions, duly verified by the verification deputies, with the Registrar of Voters of Los Angeles County. 4. June 24, 1924, after filing with the Registrar of Vectors the said nominating petitions, I went before a duly qualified officer, as the law requires, made affidavit that I would not withdraw from the race before the Primaries on August 26, 1924, bought a money order for $10.00, made payable to the Secretary of State of California, which ordered and affidavit were duly mailed to the Secretary of State, at Sacramento, California. 5. July 14, 1924, at night, after I had been qualified and placed on the ballot for the Primaries of August 26, 1924, I went to a little church on East 34th Street near Central Avenue, to which I had been invited by Wood Wilson over phone. Upon arriving at the church, I found an audience of about 40 persons, men and women and children, all colored, which was afterwards increased to about 60 persons; and one C. H. Alston, whose house address is given by the City Directory as 724 Ceres Ave. in charge of the meeting, and was making explanations of objects. Among many other things, he stated that the meeting had been called by the East Side Independent League, but that said league was not a Republican league. He further stated that he had come down from the 74th District to show the "people" of the 73rd District how to elect an Assemblyman. 6. After Mr. Alston was removed from the chair, and Dr. Griffith, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, was made chairman, I made a short talk in which I fully explained to the persons present that I had qualified as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Assembly from the 73rd District. I told them that I could enter into no agreement there respecting race, because I had already taken the cath. I further stated to them that they need not consider me in their voting, and that they should not vote for me on any of their ballot at that time. However, there were about 9 Registered Republicans there, and they insisted upon voting for me. 7. June 26, 1924. I called on Attorney E. C. Jennings in his office, and pointed out to him the folly of his entering the race thereafter for the Republican nomination for Assemblyman from the Distret. inasmuch as his entrance might have the effect to taking off just enough votes to defeat my nomination. I further pointed out to him that, since he was not a consistent Republican, and had supported the Democratic nominee, for governor two years ago, he might run as an independent, which was consistent with the spirit and practice of the Democratic Independent League, with C. H. Aleton, the mayor that time he had not taken out his papers, and stated that he would be in no hurry about it as he had plenty of time.

FINLEY WILSON BECOMES BENE OCT We want to wish our distinguished friend, who is the Grand Exalted Ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. all of the joy and happiness that go with the union of two souls into the holy bonds of wedlock. We have at hand great reports on the talented bride, and the important niche which she has occupied in the great State of Virginia. We want to pay a tribute to the genius of the Grand Exalted Ruler whom we have known for many, many years. He is just that sort of man which every man delights in knowing. He is truly for "all men up and no man down". If it were in his power, he would take one hand and lift all men up to the highest rung. He speaks the common language and the common average, every day man is the man whom Finley delights to serve. serve. This trait has enabled him to build for himself the greatest and most extensive friendship of any man of our group and enabled him in fraternal circles to be truly named the "miracle man".

NEW FORUM OFFICERS OFF TO A GOOD START It is the ambition of the newly elected administration of the Los Angeles Forum to place this live and wide awake organization right up in the very front rank of progress, and to that end a concerted effort will be made.

His chief aim is that we shall accomplish something. Mr. Pitts is backed up by a most splendid set of officers, such as J. C. Slaughter, Vice President; Mrs. J. C. Banks's Recording Secretary; Claude V. McKinney, Chairman Program Committee; S. Oliver, Treasurer, and others too numerous to mention. They have started out for a new year under the most favorable auspices and desire the co-operation of the membership to make this the greatest year for real progress in the entire history of the Los Angeles Forum. 8July 10, 1924. Attorney E. C. Jennings filed his petition and made oath that he would withdraw from the race before the August 26th Primaries. Attorney Jennings filed his petition and took the oath, it will be observed, just SIXTEEN (16) days after I had qualified. If he had sincerely desired to see the Republican candidate nominated and elected from the 73rd District, would he have come in at that late date to help defeat him. From the foregoing facts, let each reader draw his own conclusions as to who acted under "sinister influence". Your Republican Candidate for the nomination. M. H. BROYLES. A. L.

HART 417 North Bonnie Brae Street Phone: DUnkirk 4492 Dr. W. H. Tilman, former pastor of Friendship Baptist Church is back in the city after an extended trip to imperial and Paleveras Valleys, Blythe, Needles and Riverside. While in the Valley he suffered a fractured rib when he fell from a roof, from which he has not completely recovered, but continues to improve rapidly. While here he will attend the Tri-County Convention which meets in Monrovia this week, also the Western Baptist Association which meets in Furlong Tract next month. We are very glad to have Dr. Tilman in our midst again for we readily concede him to be a worthy divine as well read upon chronological and theological research as any clergyman on the Coast. As a teacher and preacher he stands foremost. After the session of the two conventions, he has planned a trip to the Southland where he expects to remain until the latter part of the year when he expects to return — Dr. Tilman is stopping at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Morrow on South Vernon avenue. It is rather amusing yet obnoxious to the observer—our group when getting on a street car and casting their eye around for a seat, they invariably sit down beside some cracker, rather than sit beside a member of their own race, when on the reverse. If this person were to come in the car where you were and a seat beside you was the only one available he would rather stand than sit beside you, and in a great many instances does stand. We are not preaching ostracism nor do we foster such a move, but it does seem that we should be at least as careful a stley as to whom we sit beside. It seems some of us are just tickled to death to sit beside a poor white man when in reality he is your worst enemy. Ku Klux Alive While we are sitting around shouting, clapping our hands for joy all around us are flaming crosses of the Klan. They have even carried their issues to the skies when at a meeting a few nights ago, when more than 1000 members were initiated to their ranks, airplanes carrying illuminated crosses swung out over their heads during the rites. Negroes may be deceived into thinking this organization is fighting only Jews and Catholics, but I dareday that are long when the klan with its ever-increasing membership becomes an even greater menace to the justices of all concerned that it is now. The black man will realize his predicament just because he hasn't had or made time to organize against such an invasion when his fighting privilege has been confiscated through the activities of this sinister organization. The only force by which he must ever attempt to offset this growing menace is by his ballot, and if the Ku Klux gain complete control—watch your step! Union Picnic Arrangements are being completed for a joint picnic between Friendship Baptist Sunday School and First A.M. E. Sunday School to be held at Brookside Park on August 3th. Special arrangements have been made whereby the whole park will be given over to the picnicers. It is hoped that all the parents will await themselves of this opportunity for an enjoyable time and bring al the children out for a day of pleasure. Rev. Holder Preaches Rev. Holder, pastor of Zion Hill Baptist Church, Los Angeles, preached for the Junior Mission Society of Friendship Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon to a large and appreciative audience. Singing Evangelist Lewis assisted him with an enthusiastic song service. The occasion was another of their efforts to augment their treasury. They have pledged a certain amount to the Building Fund and these Sunday afternoon meetings are used to raise a portion of that amount. 0----00----0 Mrs. Annie Walker is reported as being quite ill, having been brought home from her place of employment.

Coincident with his visit to Friendship he spoke at Sunday School on the subject of Baptism so forcefully evinced by John the Baptist in our lesson and Rev. Wade made it so simple that one could easily term him, Wade the Baptist. Without a doubt Rev. Wade is as thorough a Baptist as we have ever chanced to meet 0—00—0 Tri-County Delegates Mrs. Williams, Mrs. M. Price and Ruth Steven have been elected as delegates to the Tri-County Convention at Monrovia by the Friendship Baptist Sunday School.

Advertising Rates Made Known Upon Application EDITORIALS SLACKERS The Y. M. C. A. drive went over the top all right, but there are quite a number of those who could, who utterly failed to do so. They proved themselves real slackers and they are known to the community at large, and the proper estimate is placed upon them. MADE FOUNDATION Because a man gives $10,000 is not any outstanding reason for him to receive any particular praise, but the spirit in which it was given is the ruling spirit. If you read closely, you will see and appreciate Blodgett's gift to the utmost. Upon the foundation which he furnished all other contributions were made. The Democratic Party, right off the reel, without cause or reason, has demonstrated its inability to undertake major propositions. It could not meet and get organized properly without great dsorder, fights and brawls. Two weeks to nominate a candidate shows lack of calibre to conduct our government. Therefore the Republicans say they will see that the responsibility remains with President Coolidge. MEDIOCRITY OF THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION The nomination of John W. Davis by the Democratic Party last week, is, under the attendant circumstances, nothing short of a calamity. Everyone knows that the government during the next four years will have to deal with political, social, international and economic problems which demand expert knowledge for their solution. In finding solutions to these problems, the next President must needs play a prominent part. But the Democratic party has nominated a man without expert knowledge of the economic issues which we are facing, without expert knowledge of international policies, without, indeed, any of those moral and intellectual qualities which would qualify him for wise and efficient leadership. John W. Davis, as well-known, has been closely associated with the House of J. P. Morgan. He has been bound up with the Morgan interests for so long a time, that, always, and on practically every occasion, his selection, policies and decision will be largely influenced by the Morgan interests. Already the New York press has declared its conviction that Davis will yield to this dictatorship; and nothing short of that could be expected from a hireling of vested greed. Mr. Davis has said nothing great politically. He has never thought of anything great politically. He has been closely associated with big enterprises, but, alas! has never been known for any marked vigor of thought or leadership; and his association with Wall Street banking institutions cannot fail to harden a great number into the belief, if not the conviction, that he will yield to dictatorship of vested interests. The Board of Prison Directors at Folsom and San Quentin INSANITY AND PRISON REFORM has denied newspaper men and reporters the once inalienable right and special privilege of interviewing prisoners therefrom whatever significant matter which might be used to advantage. The action will at once invoke a storm of protest, not only from members of the press, but from representatives of both State and nation, and from citizens who wholly reply upon the information which newspapers give of prison conditions. The freedom which the press has enjoyed since the days of Horace Greeley will not be allowed to become an empty phrase. Its place and importance in every community is too vital to allow that. Excepting those few magazine articles which appear sporadically whenever some prison director is thoughtful enough to outline for readers the existing conditions in prisons, we have no up-to-date and trustworthy sources from which to cull information concerning the needs of prisons; and we cannot dare attempt prison reform, since such is contingent upon public acclamation, unless we know accurately and intimately just what to do and who to get to do it. One of the most pernicious results affected by prison confinement is, we are assured by an unimpeachable authority, moral insanity. Few survive its horrors, its beastly restraints, its limitations and inhuman handicaps. It is a machine, and it is quickly becoming known that the machine heeds repair—and badly. The newspaper reporter, who is almost invariably alert and intelligent, could play a gallant part by investigating conditions in prison, by procuring personal testimonies from prisoners themselves as to their needs. The whole matter obviously deserves the attention of everyone interested in prison reform. The newspaper has hitherto been recognized as a medium through which prison life can be accurately portrayed. By denying it a once honored privilege, it is probable that the moral insanity of so many prisoners will continue to increase unabated by lack of prison reform. The State Meeting called by the National Committeeman of the Lincoln League to meet in San Francisco August 8th and 9th, is meeting with a hearty response, so much so that the local committee at San Francisco, headed by W. J. Wheaton has had to rearrange its plans in order to care for the delegations which have signified their intention to attend this great gathering. That the meeting is a step in the right direction cannot be ignored. It is not sufficient for one individual to do all the planning and putting into execution the propositions for progress and a place in the body politic of our great State. It is much better that representatives of the people from all sections should meet and take up these various questions for analysis and action thereon. The attitude of Governor Friend Richardson toward our group should receive our undivided attention. The brazen effort to exploit them and then ignore our group in things political must be met. No other agency is caring for this situation, therefore we should have no division and all should join hands in making this effort which is purely and wholly political, a magnificent success. IN THE 73rd ASSEMBLY DISTRICT We are hearing some ugly things about the conduct of certain persons down in the 73rd Assembly District. What we hear does not reflect any credit upon the actions of some people, and to our minds calls for investigation that the people might know just what the real situation is in that District, and that if here has been an attempt to sell out the voters of the 73rd District for a mess of pottage that the people should know just who the guilty ones are. Don't let anybody fool you and lull you to sleep on the thought that there is nothing to the LaFollette movement; if you don't think there is just attend one of their meetings, and catch the enthusiasm which reigns at these gatherings. The Los Angeles Forum under the new administration intends to move on to greater and loftier heights. Do not, in the scramble for news as to who will be elected President, and to other positions, forget the rallying cry of production. We are glad this week to welcome into our midst the Hon. Dr. Henry Allen Boyd, distinguished head of the National Baptist Publishing House (unincorporated), secretary and guiding spirit of the National Negr Press Association, the son of a noble father and truly a man worth while. OUR NATURAL RESOURCES Two of California's chief resources, water and timber, are to be saved from two extremes, both of which are familiar to the observant student of economic development; namely, that extreme which locks up a State's resources, which prevents any use at all of those resources. In other words, the sentimentalist extreme. The other extreme is that which wastefully exploits a State's resources, which, without thought of the morrow, unwisely lays open a State's resources to some unnecessary, and therefore harmful use. A congress on resource development and conservation will be welcomed at this time. By expertly studying the needs of this State, as those needs enlarge with a growing population and economic booms, this congress will go down to history as a forward and progressive movement. Development, irrigation and conservation have, as everyone knows, turned Southern California, which was once an arid desert into a land of abundance and surpassing scenic beauty. But there are still possibilities o floss in lack of flood control, forest fires and whatnot. We can be assured protection against these by wise and efficient control of our natural resources. WHAT THE OTHERSTHINK Collected From the Newspapers of the World By: THE STAFF JAPANESE SYMPATHY FOR NEGROES. "We hold that Japan has no reason to protest diplomatically, as she has accepted the exclusion in a gentleman's agreement, and also has her own discriminatory laws. Before Japan should become angry she should first free herself from traditional discrimination by raising her fellow-subjects in Japan and Korea to an equality level, and also cultivating friendship toward her neighbor, China. "We are ready to sacrifice our life at the altar of our country, but will not accompany these social robbers. BUT WE MUST OFFER A FEW WORDS TO AMERICANS. You led in the formation of the League of Nations in the name of World Peace, and then abandon it like an old shoe. You were crying for humanity in the name of Christ, but are now stressing Racial Discrimination, thus defiling God himself. "We have a Secret to tell you. We are in receipt of a letter in the name of Negroes' League of America, who are seeking moral support. There are millions of Negroes living in America who are quenching thirst with American water, and also crying against the American oppression and maltreatment by turning to their brothers in this country for sympathy and assistance. Americans in Japan, what do you think of this?"—From the Suiheisha Society, Tokio. GOODYEAR PARK. "The acquisition of Goodyear Park was a master stroke; its accessibility by the cars will make it a big amusement center and in time a mecca where real champions will meet and contest upon a field with all modern surroundings upon real merit regardless of race, color or creed."—J. B. Bass in the California Eagle. PROGRESS AND RETROGRESSION. "American conditions demand removal everywhere of obstructionists. Such people work upon the principle of "rule or ruin." The avalanche of scandals at Washington were to the end to discredit the administration and so defeat Coolidge but it has failed. The people, watching his silence and the common sense and the effectiveness of his policies have decided to back Coolidge and to turn down our so-called party leadership. This means a new day for us in America and the gratitude of coming generations to the man who was able to beak the political machine". —The Black Dispatch, Oklahoma City. "Congress has acted. The States must now hear the cry and forever free the children of America from the bonds of toll." —The Citizen, Los Angeles. ONE EDTORIAL WRITER. "One Editorial writer for the "California Eagle" of Los Angeles, seems to take his calling seriously, as set forth in an article headed "Editorials Don't Grow on Trees." "It is refreshing to find a newspaper writer with so accurate and conscientious a view of his dutes. His consummate mastery of language was illustrated in another column, where he termed an offending editor of a local daily 'a low bread cracker seeking notoriety.'"—Fred R Moore in the New York Age.

HUmbolt 8280-J HELP SAVE POWER Official action by the City Council in ordering the submission to the voters of the $16,000,000 power bond issue at the August 26 election, practically assures the authorization of this vitally necessary bond issue, it is confidently believed throughout the city. Action of the City Council followed the filing with City Clerk Dominguez of the largest initiative petition ever circulated in this city. This petition, bearing the signatures of more than 89,000 Los Angeles voters, called up the City Council to submit the proposed $16,000,000 power bond issue at the August 26 State Primary election. The power bond petition was filed with the City Clerk by the Citizens Power Bond Committee as the first official step in bringing about the submission to the voters of the $16,000,000 bond issue on August 26. Alexander MacKeigan, Secretary of the Citizens Power Bond Committee, who filed the voluminous petition with City Clerk Dominguez stated that the 89,000 signatures were secured entirely by voluntary citizen workers in the course of a seven day circulating campaign. An an indication of the wide spread interest in and support of the proposed $16,000,000 power bond issue, it was pointed out that the volunteer petition circulators secured an average of more than 12,000 signatures a day during the brief time the petition was being circulated. In view of the fact that only 21,000 signatures are required to make the petition valid, it is accepted as an assured fact that the $16,000,000 power bond issue will be submitted to the voters at the August 26 State Primary election. Afer checking over approximately 15,000 names on the petition, it was announced at the City Clerk's office that the percentage of valid and correct signatures is running higher on this petition than on any other petition ever submitted to the City Hall. The request for the submission of the $16,000,000 power bond issue is in accordance with the official recommendation of the State Railroad Commission recently issued following a careful and expert study of the needs of the Municipal Bureau of Power and Light. Proceeds from the $16,000,000 bond issue together with over $10,000,000 in surplus earnings, expected to be returned by the Power Bureau during the next three years, will be invested in urgently necessary extensions and improvements to the municipal electric distributing system, it was pointed out.

SPRT PAGE CALIFORNIA EAGLE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES San Diego Giants Here For Battle! SUNDAY, JULY 27TH JASPER'S ALL-STARS VS SAN DIEGO GIANTS GAME CALLED AT 2:20 Goodyear Park 64TH AND SOUTH PARK Take “S” Car To Grand Stand Gate DRIVE OUT CENTRAL AVE. TO PARK SUNDAY'S GAME will be for the Colored Championship of Southern California. The ALL-STARS have been strengthened with Several New Players for this Contest. Large Delegation of San Diego Fans Coming to Cheer Their Favorites to Victory For the past month the San Diego Giants have sent challenge after challenge to this city for a baseball game. The first challenges were shot at the Carroll Giants and when the Giants blew, the same stream of challenges were waved in the face of Manager Jasper of the All Stars. With the arrival of several Texas leaguers to help bolster up the weak spots and with some more of the local stars in the line-up, Manager Jasper worked up the courage to accept the San Diego summons to battle. Therefore the game has been arranged for this Sunday and in spite of General Jasper's reinforcements, San Diego is confident that the stars scalps will dangle from the San Diego belts when the battle at Goodyear Park comes to a close. NEW PLAYERS ARRIVE Five players from Texas, three outfielders and two infielders dropped into town Tuesday and they are here to play haseball. Five players materially increases the number of the players hereabouts and with only one team in action it is hardly likely that they can all break into that team's line-up. The All-Stars have some very likely talent now but could use an outfielder or two and perhaps an infielder. The players who have been playing with the Stars all sing have the preference and unless they fall down in hitting or fielding their jobs are secure. JAY JOHNSON MAY WORK Jay Johnson went on a vacation to San Francisco and was not in a uniform last Sunday. He is expected back before the end of the week and if his arm is right it is possible that he will face San Diego at Goodyear Park, Sunday. FAGAN NOW MANAGER Bob Fagan will act in the capacity of Captain and Manager for the All Stars and will be responsible for that club's conduct on the field. Fagan was captain for the Carroll Giants and held down second base in an acceptable manner. He will also play second for the Stars. EASTERN LEAGUE Hilldale, President Bolden's entry in the Eastern League tops that circuit's standing but not by as large a margin as last year. Hilldale made a runaway race last season but this year the Baltimore Black Sox and Lincoln Giants are putting up an opposition that is making a real race in the East. Charleston is doing well as a manager in the east, his Harrisburg club being within the first division and one game above 500. In addition to leading Harrisburg, Charleston is leading the league in hitting with an average of .431 in seventeen games. Other players who are hitting over 300 are, Mackey Hilldale, .340; Johnson n hill, Brooklyn, .313; Blackman, Baltimore, .320; Holloway, Baltimore, .326, and Downs, Brooklyn. .313.

By Lewis E. Dials, Pitteburgh-Amer can. Is Charles R. Brookins a Negro or Caucasian? This is the query that has been hurled at the writer time and again and for the "steenth" time the answer is the same—"We do not know." Few fans who follow sports are not familiar with the fact that the party in question is the world's champion 220-yard low hurdler and student at University of Iowa. Some time ago, the Sporting Life Magazine carried a story alleging that Brookins is of a fair hue and (using the provincialism) is passing. this story brought a reply from young Brookins referring all doubting Thornes to his father, W. I. Brookins, 120 N. Market Street, Oskaloosa, Iowa. Race members of several other schools and athletic clubs who have come in contact with the lowan are reported as stating Brookins is a Negro, (we all know it is hard to fool "de brudder" of Ham) and a local doctor is alleged to seen the star hurdler at the Howard University meet, when West, Gourdin, etc., were honored guests. The Baltimore Afro-Americans claim to possess a letter from Brookins emphatically denying that he is anything other than a white man. Whether he is or is not does not concern the most of us, as the fact still remains that he is holder of world's record for his event, and a student at Iowa, and these will be his honors regardless of the public's adjudgment. It is not intended that we should sit as judge or jury, but we can make our deductions from the events previously mentioned. If Brookins be not colored, in attending a meet of Negro schools only, he has set a precedent for which he cannot be condemned, as such interest manifested by influential or prominent whites lend a satisfying color to the affair, and in due course of time will serve to break the sinister barrier between the two Races. We can hardly conceive of a Caucasian giving so much dignity to a report that he is a Negro, by writing a letter to a Race journal stating that he is white. These things seem a bit uncommon for an Anglo-Saxon. If Brookins is passing for political and economical advantages and privileges partly and oftimes wholly denied the American Negro, then we can heartily shout "More power to him". But on the other hand, if his aim is just a local or social one, then all the wraths of Hades should be his reward. If he be white or Colored, our wish for him is one success after another, and may continue to set hurler's records just to break them. Rah, Rah, for Brookins. It took ten innings to decide the winner at Goodyear Park, Sunday and the Jasper All-Stars were unfortunate enough to be on the losing end of a 9 to 8 score. Munion pitching for the losers had one bad inning the fourth when the L. A. All-Stars drove in four runs with four real hits. On the other hand Paulmers left hand slants puzzled the Jasperites to the extent that they could gather only five salties. Our boys were three runs behind when they came to bat in the ninth but staged a three-run rally without making a hit. Slowtime pitched the tenth inning and allowed two hits and was credited with losing the game. The score by innings: First inning, L. A. All stars—Brooks fanned. Hines swept out E.

WILL AND SIKI TO SHOW FOR CHARITY New York, July 17.—In the interest of charity, Harry Wills and Battling Siki are down to appear on the card arranged for Saturday night at Eay Shore, L. L., in aid of the Southside hospital, a non-partisan hospital where patients are received regardless of creed or color. They will each box an opponent a six rounder. Bellaire, O., July 12—Battling Siki out pointed Ray Bennett, white, New York Negro heavyweight, last night in a twelve round bout marked by its slowness. New York, July 23- Battling Siki was married to-day to Lillian Werner. Miss Werner formerly of Memphis Tenn. was reported to be of the white race. Siki's manager claims that the lady in question is an octooon. FIRPO SIGNS FOR WILLS MATCH Louis Firpo arrived in New York this week and immediately signed papers for his coming match with Harry Wills. The match will be held soon after August 30th. ST. LOUIS STARS WIN TWO STRAIGHT FROM K. C. ST. LOUIS STARS WIN TWO STRAIGHT FROM K. C. ROSS WINS FOR STARS St. Louis, Mo., July 18.—The revamped St. Louis Stars rose to the occasion in great style in the series with the league leading Kansas City Monarchs and gained an even break in the four game series. With luck fa favoring the new team they would have made a clean sweep of the series. The Stars won the opening game on Sunday, after wet grounds had caused the postponement of the Saturday game, by a 9 to 6 score, largely due to some great pinch pitching by "Lefty" Robinson, who was making his first start as a member of the Stars' staff. Ross pitched a good game on Monday and the Stars made it two straight games over the champions of the National League, winning by a 7 to 5 score. Murray's pinch batting featured this contest, he driving in three runs and counting one himself on a double steal. The Monarchs aided by innumerable breaks took the third and fourth games, which were played on Tuesday as a double header by 12 to 7, and 3 to 1 scores. Club 123456789 K. C.

Tuesday's Games On Tuesday the Monarchs loosened up their heavy artillery and took both games to even the series, winning 12 to 7 and 3 to 2. Frank Bell started for the Stars and as on his past three starts lacked control and as a result was forced to put the ball in the groove and Kansas City batters sensing the situation, slammed the ball for four runs and were handed two more when Crecy and Watts got mixed up on the play for the third out, thus giving Rogan a six run lead to start the game with.

Steve Pierce claims the Colored Championship of Northern California and has a string of wins over the other Colored teams in that section. The series would be played in Los Angeles, Sunday and Labor day and would consist of three games. A baseball park, the same being the first unit of a big amusement park, is in the course of construction at Abla, California just below the city of Watts. Mr. Williams, formerly of the Williams Jubilee Singers is building the park on six acres of land that he owns. When completed it is expected that the amusement park will excel anything ever attempted by the Race in Southern California. At the present writing the grandstand should be just about completed and the fence is already up.

Rube Foster's Strategy Fools Birmingham Chicago, Ill., July 19—McCall's inability to cover first when Wesley fielded infield grounders paved the way for the American Giants to win three to one game at Schirring's park over the Birmingham Black Barons in the Negro National League. McCall hooked up in a pitcher's duel with Padrone and had the best of the argument, fanning seven to the Giants'. No Carroll Giants Will Carroll having failed to keep the Carroll Giants together it is up to some other manager to accept the challenge. Steve Pierce and Lonnie Goodwin formerly manager of the Carroll Giants were in consultation most of Friday. Lonnie is handicapped in not having a ball park unless he takes over the Williams' Park at Abilis. Jasper's Allstars are residing at Goodyear and the opening Sunday looked promising for continuous baseball. Manager Jasper may take up the challenge hurled by confident Pierce and Bost, if he defeats San Diego Sunday. NEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE In spite of the combined efforts of the other clubs in the Negro National League, the Kansas City Monarchs at the top of the heap continue to set a pace that seems unbeatable. Five full games behind the Monarchs trail Rube Foster's American Giants in second place, with the McGraw of the Black race driving his Giants at a hard pace in an effort to overtake the flying Monarchs. The National Negro League Champions faltered slightly in the last series when they allowed St. Louis a second division club to take the first two games. The Monarchs took a double headed on Tuesday however, and evened the series before heading north Rogan Falters The great Rogan is showing signs of wear following the pitching of many hard games against the best hurler the National League could muster. Rogan lost his final game of the series with Foster at Kansas City and then dropped another in Birmingham. At St. Louis he won but his teammates gave him a six run lead in the first inning that was gradually dwelling until he was relieved by Bell. As Rogan goes so go the Monarchs. When Rogan wins the Monarchs win. When Rogan slumps, the Monarchs slump. If the Monarchs start stumbling the American Giants will step over them into first place. This week series between the Monarchs and Detroit will tell whether the Kays have blown. | | W. | L. | Pct. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Kansas City | 32 | 10 | .762 | | Am.

Brown as out when McCall intercepted the throw to the plate from center field and caught the runner going to second.
