REV. BOB SCHULER, SPOKESMAN FOR KU KLUX KLAN, LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG
Destroys All Chances For Election Of Any Other Than Asa Keyes For District Attorney
It has been well said that a man is to be judged as much by his opposition as by his support. We admire some men for the enemies they make. A case in point is the present election fight between the two candidates for District Attorney of Los Angeles. One is Asa Keyes, the present District Attorney and the other is Judge Sheldon of the Police Court. How do the two size up towards the colored voters in this city?
In the first place we have in Mr. Keyes a tried and proved faithful public servant. He recognizes no race, creed or color line. He broke the precedent for excluding peoples of color in the District Attorney's Office by appointing a capable colored attorney named Clinton Ross as a Deputy. On this account he has been branded and is being opposed by Rev. Bob Schuler, spokesman for the Ku Klux Klan. Bob Schuler in his magazine says he is not opposed to the colored people but the Negro should stay in his place; that his place is outside of public office. Especially dangerous is it according to this Ku Klux Christian minister to have a colored man in the District Attorney's office. He might at some time have occasion to prosecute a white man. He might even be called upon to prosecute some of the members of the tar and feather fraternity. It would be impossible to fix things up with a man whose whole race is the object of contempt, persecution and vilification by these midnight assassins.
The opponent of Asa Keyes is Judge Sheldon. The supporters of Judge Sheldon are Bob Schuler and the Ku Klux Klan. If elected to office Judge Sheldon would be so indebted to the hooded Knights they would hold undue influence over his office, if indeed they did not control it. The justice department of a great city with one million inhabitants is too important to be dominated by an organization whose chief business is to commit crimes, whose very existence is a mob and whose inevitable result is mob violence, lawlessness and disorder.
Judge Sheldon may not be a Ku Kluxer, but he gives it aid and comfort unless he repudiates these motly aggregations of medeval rattle snakes. To accept their support is to be indebted to them. The power over a man's subsistance is the power over his will. The group which elects a man to office is the power over his position or political job. That job is his living, his existence since it supplies him with the means for securing it. So judge Sheldon is in bad company, and it

At one time according to Mr. Wood Wilson manager of the Jennings campaign for Assemblyman from the above district it was dubious as to Mr. Jennings' success owing to the fact that the water had been made muddy by a multiplicity of entries in the race.
However, as the campaign progressed and gained momentum the reports

OF HOLDUP BANDITS
Officer M. B. Sheffield and Sergeant W. H. Mack on last Tuesday at 1:45 A. M., at 11th and Central Avenue, spied a suspicious looking trio consisting of Wm. Watson, Colored and C. H. Phillips and K. Kellup (white). They searched them and discovered deadly weapons upon each one of them. During the search Watson attempted to swallow a handful of 20 dollar bills, the officers seeing, the stunt, used vigorous efforts to recover them and beat a tatto on Watson's

Mr. Jennings will be the gainer thereof and will without doubt return a winner at Tuesday's Primary.

The search yielded $120.00, a watch and wallet. In this situation they took the trie to the Central Station to lock them up on suspicion. Arriving there a holdup was being reported by G. E. Clark, a garage man on the West Side. Examination and comparison were made. He lost the amount which the officers recovered from the suspects also the watch they had and wallet, which contained this driver's license. Thanks to officer Sheffield and Ser-

Dear Friend Joseph L. Pedrotti:
I am indeed glad to hear that you are to be a candidate for State Senator or from the 29th Senatorial District. If there is any way possible in which I can assist you in your campaign, let me know, as there is nothing that would afford me greater pleasure. I have not forgotten how you assisted me in drawing on my Anti-Klux Klan Bill; but most of all the wonderful assistance over me in putting this bill over. I sure appreciate the fact that this bill was put through the Legislature.
Wishing you the greatest of success in all your present and future undertakings, and with my kindest regards to you and yours.
Your friend;

To my friends and loyal supporters of the 29th Senatorial District:
of the 29th Senatorial District.
I wish to voice my appreciation for the earnest support you gave me four years ago. I feel that as the high office of State Senator is one that no candidate should aspire to unless he is eminently qualified as to ability, honesty and sincere in his convictions, progressive and constructive in his ideals, and with but one thought in mind, and that should be to faithfully serve those whom he represents.
As the voters of the 29th Senatorial District will have an opportunity on August 28th of selecting such a man, whose name will appear upon the ballot as the Republican candidate for State Senator from this, the 29th Senatorial District, and who has faithfully represented the 65th Assembly District as Assemblyman and present incumbent for the past four years, who has resided in this district for the past thirty-eight years, and whom I have known from his boyhood days to be (Continued on Page Four)

The following copy of an affidavit made by the Hon. Asa Keyes has routed and caused consternation with Bob Schuler and his co-horts who hoped to get in the District Attorney's office by springing a last minute stunt claiming that Keyes was a member of the Klan.

IN THE MUSIC WORLD
By John A. Gray
There is a difference between an artist, a clever performer and an amateur, just as there are differences between groups of aher .....6dtd oWe m between groups of other artistic people. These differences set the value upon each set or classification. Real appreciation is not possible where one can not tell just where one ends and the other begins. The study of values is an interesting one but one which is greatly overlooked by the race. In America, that is to say, the United States, we are sadly lacking in logic. Names, places, materials, etc., are called by name regardless of the correctness of it. For example we often say "Americans" when we mean people from the United States only. Any place that serves meals is called a cafe. Many places are called by wrong names until a slang phrase is invented that is more correct. This habit does not help the language nor develop logic.
An artist is one who has reached a high development in his art. He has acquired a good technic with which to express his ideas and he has developed poise, confidence and ease. He is able to do more than execute the bare printed notes or say words correctly. He is able to inject a little of his soul into what he is doing. He is able to cause others to feel deeply what he is expressing.
A clever performer is one who may have a highly developed technic and by the use of his intelligence be able to express some things in his art. He lacks principally the soul of the artist. The amateur needs both technic and polish. He is the artist in the making. The green fruit upon the tree. Ripening is what is lacking.
You will readily see that the artist must be worth more than the other two. The habit of calling a rank amateur an artist is harmful, both to him and to the public. The public, however, must learn to know and appreciate these differences.
May we add that even the tern "artist" is misused. We are apt to call the painter an artist which he may be. But everyone who paints pictures is not an artist. There is the same difference that exists among the other arts. The term "artist" is used correctly to designate the highest development in any artistic line. Thus we have artists among the musicians, sculptors, painters, the actors, the dressmakers, the different hand-crafts and so on. The term is properly used to specify a high form of skill combined with a spiritual understanding of a chosen form of art.
Colored Actors Union Takes Its First Aggressive Action
Washington, D. C., Aug. 19.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—The Colored Actors Union, an organization composed largely of Negroes playing in the Houses that cater to Negro audiences, the not strictly confined to such acts, has taken its initial step against a theatre in the protection of its members. The Howard theatre operated by a white man and managed by a Negro, one Mr. Tucker, in Washington, D. C., has been declared unfair, and members of the C. A. U. have been forbidden to play in the house. The management of the Howard has been charged with cancelling Lonnie Fisher's act on a two days notice; and Jules McGarr on a one day notice. In addition it is alleged that the salary of Easton and Stewart was cut for the second week of their appearance in the house.
S. H. Dudley, the Treasurer of the Colared Actors Union is also the Eastern Booking Agent of the Theatre Owners Booking Association and the owner of Washington theatres that are in opposition to the Howard theatre which was at one time under his control. Whether these connections have in any way influenced the action of the Union is an open question.
The new development coming as it has on the top of a throat cutting competition between the theatres catering to this patronage in Washington is certain to stir up things considerable. The new move will either force the Howard into the T. O. B. A. circuit, or oblige the house to establish booking connections in New York. In all probability it will reestablish the policy of road shows, and get out of vaudeville, for there is little question of Dudley's control of talent available to theatres in that field.
W. B. Harris, Deputy Grand Master of the United Brothers of Friendship and S. M. T. of the California Jurisdiction will leave for San Diego Saturday, where he will attend the annual session of his Order, which convenes in that city, Monday, August 25th.

The question which arose several months ago as to the advisability of placing automobile branches in the Central Avenue district by the big uptown concerns has been successfully tried out by the White Auto Company. "It was my personal belief and confidence in the project that won the White Auto Company over to my way of thinking, says Mr. Beal, branch manager. Results obtained in the experiment have proven me to be right in supporting the contention that such would prove a God send. We have ever tried to make each customer a satisfied one and this effort alone has been a large factor inn our success.
The White Auto Company's Branch needs no introduction or words of praise. For years it has maintained one of the largest down town show rooms and offices where hundreds of cars have been disposed of. In the branch they have recognized the essential necessity of convenience and to that end we have the Central Avenue Branch, which has proven itself to be the most sought agency in the district when one's mind is finally made up to purchase a car.

(Exclusive Dispatch)
Sacramento, Aug. 14.—(Special.)—Fines and jail sentences were handed out by the California courts to 34,692 violators of the State Vehicle Act during the first six months of 1924. A report issued today by the Division of Motor Vehicles shows this number of convictions were secured in the State during the period.
Compared with the same period of 1923 the report shows an increase of 9654 convictions. This is held t obe partly due to the fact that more of the courts are filing abstracts of convictions with the division and partly to the increased efficiency of the State highway patrol units in arresting offenders.
Speeding and reckless driving were responsible for 83 per cent of the convictions reported. The record shows 20,144 motorists were convicted of breaking the speed laws during the period. Licenses of several hundred more were suspended for periods of six months ranging from ten days to six months.
Approximately one-third of all convictions of 11,037 occurred in Los Angeles county. Los Angeles county's quota of speeders and reckless drivers amounted to 68.5 per cent of all convictions there.
The percentage of convictions on charges of reckless driving and speeding in the state, outside of Los Angeles, was 90 per cent of the total.
Seven per cent of the total or 2868 persons were convicted of violating headlight provisions. The percentage of convictions of this character is likely to increase durig the next six months as new and stringent regulations have been made on headlight enforcement.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS
Your Carburetor
Because of incorrect adjustment of the carburetor, nearly a quarter of the gasoline used by motor vehicles is wasted in incomplete combustion.
Cause of Overheating
If the engine shows too great a tendency to overheat, the radiator is probably clogged and should be cleaned out thoroughly with hot water and washing soda.
Preserving Tires
An excellent compound for coating both the inside and outside of rubber tires is five pounds of whitening stirred into a quart of gasoline.
RUBBER TIRE FRICTION
Never overload underfated tires.
the average sized tire, properly inflated and carrying a normal load, reaches a temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit just under the tread when run at 20 miles an hour speed. At 25 miles an hour the temperature is raised to 155 degrees.
CARE AND ADJUSTMENT OF BRAKES FOR FORD CARS In any kind of automobiling the Brakes are more important than the Engine. The modern motorist never lets a week elapse without a careful inspection of his entire braking mechanism. The Ford Brake is up in front of the car instead of the rear wheels like the brake on all high-priced cars. During the past nine years a special brake for Fords has been developed to the point where the cost is small, and it soon pays for itself, because the Ford transmission bands do not have to be repaired at $5.00 every three or four months.
These brakes are built just like the brakes on the higher priced cars. Considerable difficulty has always been experienced by the shaking and chatterly a partial number of convictions in San Francisco as judges in that city are not submitting full lists and thereby diarigging the law.
Convictions were classified as follows: Speeding, 8,144; Reckless driving, 8,616; Headlights, 2,468; registration provisions, 796; failure to close

WASHINGTON D. C. NEWS
By: Jeannette Carter
One of the most perplexing questions confronting the people at this time is the appointment of Judges in the Police and Municipal Courts, the present incumbents Judges McNohan and Sellers are candidates for re-elections, but according to one high official of the White House, because of the numerous applications for appointment to these judgeships, and because of the receipt of various charges and protests against the two incumbents, a decision will not be reached before a few days in advance of the time the two terms expire.
The White House is represented, however, as being somewhat puzzled regarding the matter of reappointing Judges McMahon and Sellers, inasmuch as communications had been received expressing such extremely opposite views. These communications are said to indicate the two jurists are highly popular with some people of the District of Columbia while with others they are unpopular, and considered totally unfit to sit upon their respective benches. Moreover, there is the matter of political preference. Judge McMahon is a Democratic appointee, and local Republican leaders have already let the White House know they think place should be given to some Republican. They contend that there are plenty of lawyers in this city available for the place. Judge Sellers is a Republican, and it is understood that between now and the time the President gives serious attention to the making of selections, the accredited Republican.
C. R. Richardson of Richmond, Indiana, to the Republican National Convention, and member of the Virgin Island Commission, in an interview with "The Richmond Item" a white daily of Richmond, Indiana, made the following statement concerning the Virgin Island status:
"I mentioned in this column, last week, the fact that C. R. Richardson, our local attorney had returned from his visit to the Virgin Islands, whither he had been sent by President Coolidge to look into the complaints of our newly acquired citizens in the former Danish province. He has just had word that the printed report of the commission will probably be ready for the public some time this month, when the substance of it will be given in the newspapers of this country. So far the matter has had little newspaper notice, but Mr. Richardson feels not only that the commission get at the essential facts, but he is confident also that the chief causes for complaint will no longer exist. As was pointed out last week, the commerce of the Virgin Islands has been almost completely cut off. It had depended on the liquor trade from the islands to the United States and President Coolidge has stopped the smuggling trade—a very honest and the only right thing to do, of course, but it
practically paralyzed the entire commerce and trade of the Islands.
"What Mr. Richardson and his colleagues recommended to President Coolidge, to help the people of the Virgin Islands recover from their present plight, struck the President as very sane and sensible. The Islands were taken over for national reasons of naval policy. Why not go ahead on that plan and establish a naval station there, and a naval depot for supplies? The committee says Mr. Richardson found Mr. President Coolidge very ready and eager to adopt the suggestion. An order has already been issued, looking to the adoption of the suggestion. Naval uniforms will be made and stored at that point. The people of the Islands are colored, have had compulsory education for nearly a generation, and have comparatively high standards of living, as compared with those of the same race in some sections of our own South." They have shown a ready adaptability to employment of this character and, as a matter of fact, the government's plant at the Virgin Islands will be able to turn out uniforms at a very low cost, the cost of living in those islands, where nature is so prodigal in producing food, is much lower than in this country. Mr. Richardson feels that the colored people of this country have reason to be well satisfied that President Coolidge is a man of such broad understanding of the problems, the needs, and the handicaps of his race, as he has shown in this instance. "My experience on this commission," said Mr. Richardson, today, "has convinced me, through our personal contact and hearings at the White House, that in Calvin Coolidge the colored people have such a friend and sympathizer as they may well be devoutly thankful to have. In all seriousness I want to say that in many ways President Coolidge suggests his great prototype in that office—Abraham Lincoln. I was especially struck by the knowledge he showed, not only on our own particular problem with the citizens of my race in the Virgin Islands, but of all our race in this country, as well. He is not blind to the shortcomings of some of us. He understands the high ideals and aims of our chosen leaders. He is alive with the impulse of such a breed, kindly sympathetic humanity as was so particularly and strikingly suggestive of the very spirit of the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, himself. I wish every colored citizen of this country today could understand and appreciate this as it has so strongly impressed itself upon me, personally, through my service in this commission and through the instant and powerful assistance which the President has given to our work, from its very beginning. I fell that we all owe him a debt of affectionate and deep appreciation for his great kindly spirit of understanding and his intense desire to help. We have no better friend in this country, today. I am absolutely convinced, than Calvin Coolidge."

Mrs. Marion D. Butler, vice-chairman of the National Women's Political Study Club was the principal speaker at the Annual Festival, at Immaculate Conception Church, Mechansville Md. Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Butler in the interest of the Republican Party, and the candidacy of the President Coolidge after reviewing the principles of the Republican Party, and telling her hearers, more than two thousand in number that: "We are Republicans, because we help create the Republican Party, and we have a right to expect more from our own party than from any party we should adopt. That she not only believed in the Republican Party and its principles, but that she believed in Calvin Coolidge; that he is the greatest statesman since the days of Lincoln; that the history of New Englanders taught colored Americans that they can always expect equal rights at their hands. She said, among other things that Fred Douglas, while on one of his New England tours was invited to make an abolition speech in Vermont. Among those who had gathered to hear him was the grand-father and grand-mother of President Coolidge. After the speech an appeal was made for funds, and the grand-father of Calvin Coolidge went up to make his contribution. When he returned to his seat, his wife asked him how much he gave, and he said, "I gave all I had." She said, "Well, what are we going to do for the winter supplies," and he said, "Well, the Lord gave us that, and he will give us more." Could there be a more beautiful demonstration of faith, for after all it is really faith that causes the thing to happen. The Lord gave us Abraham Lincoln because our parents had faith. Now he has given us Calvin Coolidge because we have faith. Republican literature was distributed.

LINCOLN LEAGUE HOLDS MONSTER MASS MEETING AND ALLOWS CANDIDATES TO STATE THEIR CASE
The Los Angeles branch of The Lincoln League of America went on record Friday Evening in its unanimous endorsement of Asa Keyes for District Attorney of Los Angeles County. Never was there more attention and enthusiasm manifested among a group of citizens than was displayed in the meetings of Thursday and Friday evenings, when the several hundred members of the League gathered in Beth Eden Baptist Church to listen to various candidates outline their policies for the coming election of Tuesday, August 26th.
The Democratic Convention at New York was a mild, tame affair compared with the fight made by League adherents for political preferment and choice of candidates. The climax was reached on Friday evening when the adjourned (Continued on Page Two)

We are "interested in the candidacy of Atty. E. C. Jennings." Our belief in his ability is the result of our contact and experience with him since coming to our State; for Atty; Jennings has won the respect and admiration not only of his clients who are daily benefitted by his legal knowledge and sobriety, but is a favorite with the community as a whole.
His clear governmental vision, his experience in politics, his education and refinement, easily adjudge him qualified to fill the position he seeks. And there should be no hestancy on the part of any citizen as to our peculiar need of a man who can read and interpret and make laws. This man understands the fundamental principles underlying the development of races and natons. He can seize the occasions xfor landing sledge hammer blows against the invisible, the sinister, the merciless influence which work against people who lack proper representation.
Elect Atty. Jennings to the Assembly from the 73rd District and check the rampant rate at which we are falling behind in the progress of our times. Elect him and signify therewith that you are ready for the new leaders trip. Elect him and secure your full and needful measure of the resources which your labors are daily building up.
This is the new hope born of the new leadership which exemplifies itself in Atty E. C. JENNINGS—elect him in the 73rd Assembly District—
We can trust his Integrity; Rely upon his Ability and Endorse his Candidacy.
SUNDAY EDITION AUGUST 24, 1924
On Thursday evening, August 21st, the Lincoln League of America, Los Angeles Branch, met in Beth Eden Baptist Church for a Mass Meeting in the interest of its members and the welfare of our entire citizenry. Notices were sent to all members and the League. ...Invitations were mailed to the various candidates that each might be present and join in the discussions tantamount to good government.
The meeting opened with Dr. Darrington Weaver, President, presiding, but on suggestion State Committeeman J. B. Bass succeeded Dr. Weaver and things began humming.
The temporary chairman called upon the various candidates for Superior Court Judgeships for expression regarding the office to which they aspire and every Judge present at that meeting outlined in definite terms his qualification for office and his just claimsto public confidence.
Judge Hugh J. Crawford was a favorite with the Assembly and received an ovation befitting a great king.
The discussion surrounding the candidates for the 73rd Assembly District became caustic and threatened the stability of the meeting at times, but for the master strokes of the old parliamentarian J. B. Bass personalities and sarcasm would have crept into the fight and greatly embittered the opponents.
The meeting reached a climax when Caryl M. Sheldon, candidate for District Attorney of Los Angeles County mounted the platform and began in detail the improvisation of a new set of blues which hall hereafter be designated "Ku Klux Bad Luck Blues." Judge Sheldon sang his blues to the generous accompaniment of his henchmen who had followed their chief into the political confines of a genuine Asa Keyes net work, tor with interpolation and interjection from the floor by his followers the Judge could not offset the insinuating preachment that he is the candidate of the Hon. Robert Schuler, whose only objection to our candidate Asa Keyes, is the fact that a Negro has been appointed Deputy District Attorney by Mr. Keyes.
It is clear that Judge Sheldon does not possess the necessary experience to handle an office as big as that of District Attorney. His argument in self-defense demonstrates an inherent weakness naturally produced in men whose conclusion on

WESTSIDE PROPERTY OWNERS PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION BY UNANIMOUS VOTE ENDORSE KEYES
At a meeting of the West Side Property Owners Protective Association on Friday evening, the report from the investigating Committee was received and among others to be endorsed was the unanimous endorsement of the candidacy of Hon. Asa Keyes for District Attorney. This endorsement is significant on account of the fact that the organization does not deal in poetics and no candidate has ever been invited to appear before this body.
Hugh E. Macbeth is the president, Mrs. Eva Greenwood, Secretary; Mrs. Ora Johnson, Corresponding Secretary. The Committee on Investigation was Dr. R. L. Williams, Mrs. Julia Stewart and Mr. O. Campbell. The organization by unanimous vote endorsed Mr. Keyes and urges a strong support for his election.
The endorsement by this progressive body on the West Side practically insured a solid vote for Mr. Keyes in this station of the city and the endorsement also means that a most painstaking investigation of colored citizens who are well qualified to do so, reveals the fact that Ann Keyes measures up to every requirement and that the Ku Klux issue is indeed a punious charge calculated to injure and is a rebellion yesterday. Ann Keyes "is the man whose ability, experience and will
Asa Keyes Has Appointed Two Colored Men in His Office
JAMES M. KEEXANDER
Who was appointed in the District Attorney's Office in February, 1924
HON. ANDRE KEVES
District Attorney, whom Rev. Bob Schuler, spokesman for the Ku Klux Klan, wants defeated because he appointed a colored man on the staff of the District Attorney's Office.
CLITTON G. ROSS
Who was appointed in the District Attorney's Office in June, 1924
It has been well said that a man is to be judged as much by his opposition as by his support. We admire some men for the enemies they make. A case in point is the present election fight between the two candidates for District Attorney of Los Angeles. One is Asa Keyes, the present District Attorney and the other is Judge Sheldon of the Police Court. How do the two size up towards the colored voters in this city?
In the first place we have in Mr. Keyes a tried and proved faithful public servant. He recognizes no race, creed or color line. He broke the precedent for excluding peoples of color in the District Attorney's Office by appointing a capable colored attorney named Clinton Ross as a Deputy. On this account he has been branded and is being opposed by Rev. Bob Schuler, spokesman for the Ku Klux Klan. Bob Schuler in his magazine says he is not opposed to the colored people but the Negro should stay in his place; that his place is outside of public office. Especially dangerous is it according to this Ku Klux Christian minister to have a colored man in the District Attorney's office. He might at some time have occasion to prosecute a white man. He might even be called upon to prosecute some of the members of the tar and feather fraternity. It would be impossible to fix things up with a man whose whole race is the object of contempt, persecution and vilification by these midnight assassins.
The opponent of Asa Keyes is Judge Sheldon. The supporters of Judge Sheldon are Bob Schuler and the Ku Klux Klan. If elected to office Judge Sheldon would be so indebted to the hooded Knights they would hold undue influence over his office, if indeed they did not control it. The justice department of a great city with one million inhabitants is too important to be dominated by an organization whose chief business is to commit crimes, whose very existence is a mob and whose inevitable result is mob violence, lawlessness and disorder.
Judge Sheldon may not be a Ku Kluxer, but he gives it aid and comfort unless he repudiates these motly aggregations of medeval rattle snakes. To accept their support is to be indebted to them. The power over a man's subsistance is the power over his will. The group which elects a man to office is the power over his position or political job. That job is his living, his existence since it supplies him with the means for securing it. So judge Sheldon is in bad company, and it has been heard of that birds of a feather flock together. And association begets assimilation. Again evil communications corrupt good morals. So, colored voters, beware of the Klan's handy man—Judge Sheldon.
It seems to us that Mr. Keyes is very fortunate in having the opposition of the Klan. Certainly it speaks well for him to the decent white protestant Americans who are worth while, to the Catholics, Jews and Negroes, and to all those men who place law and order and clean citizenship above the mob's midnight court which be-
longs to the hyena and jackal stage of civilization.
During the war each ally was an enemy of any country on the Central Powers' side. For instance, when the United States declared war on Germany, she declared war on Austria, Turkey and Servia. In turn Germany and the Central Powers declared war on every new ally as fast as one joined, while the United States, England, France, Russia and Italy declared war immediately upon any country which joined with Germany. It was a perfectly logical course. It was not possible to fight France without fighting England, the United States, Italy and Russia just as it was not possible to attack Austria without attacking Germany and Turkey. To assist one's enemy, to ally with or accept the support of one's foe is to become one's foe. Moreover, to fight one's foe and to be fought by one's foe is to become that one's enemy. In being fought by the Klan, the Negroes' bitter foe Asa Keyes has become, ipse fact the Negro's ally. In like manner Judge Sheldon by allying with the hooded Huns has become the unquestioned foe of the Colored folk.
Negroes are too far advanced today to be ignorant of the power of their ballot. They need very little training to understand that they should support their friends and swat their enemies.
Never support any man supported by the Klan unless he has repudiated the act what they stand for. With the types of Negroes which Los Angeles holds along with the great mass of forward looking stable white people the Honorable Asa Keyes should welcome the Klan's opposition. He can wear it as a badge of pride, a label of honorable distinction, a mark of enlightened statesmanship. Traveling under its livery he can look forward to winning the District Attorneyship.
Even the South is tired of these antedeluvian antropeds. Recently several states have spoken very emphatically. A year ago Oklahoma was all Ku Klux. Today ex-Governor Walton is nominated for the U. S. Senate on a straight anti-Ku Klux platform despite the opposition of the entire press of the State and the Ku Klux money. Arkansas went anti Ku Klux a few days ago. Ohio went overwhelmingly anti Ku Klux. Texas, Louisiana and Alabama did likewise.
A little light was turned on these human vermin. These anthropoid germs, human bacteria, lice, and scum, like similar members in the bacteriological family cannot stand the light of day. The Ku Klux germs shrivel, shrink and die in the sun. As Shakespeare says:
"Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, While night's black agents to their prey do rouse." Let Asa Keyes keep up his vigorous, dignified but dynamic campaign against all these forces of wickedness and the good citizens of this city will elect him by the most overwhelming vote of which he has ever remotely dreamed.

the people are simply for Podrotti. We wish to thank the many friends on behalf of Mr. Podrotti for their very splendid work up to this time, but desire to remain them that eternal vigilance is the price of success and it is necessary to keep up the good work until the closing of the polls on next Tuesday.
He further states that Mr. Pedrotti has made a wonderful impression when he has appeared his father had preceded him and he lived up to every word which had been uttered in his favor.
MOUSER STEPPING TO
THE FRONT
(Continued From Page One) District, which comprises the 65th and 74th Assembly Districts reports that he will be elected by a majority not under 800 votes on next Tuesday. Going into details Mr. Mouser says that his solid labor support will overcome any other class of voters in the entire district, also he feels that the Colored vote has no reason to fail him and points to his record as a true friend to the Race.
He avers that the present contest will demonstrate that the people appreciate a public servant who has proved true and will be loyal to the cause which he represents and will return him a sure winner on next Tuesday. 'Vote for Mouser and have a representative from the 29th Senatorial District,' is the slogan of the people, says Mouser.
A.
TUESDAY'S PRIMARY
On next Tuesday California goes to the polls for the selection of candidates to make the race at the polls, November 4. In many cases (most of them) the nomination is equivalent to election especially is this so on the partisan tickets; therefore Tuesday's election becomes important indeed. In this primary election as in the past, the Eagle has seen fit to open its columns that all candidates might state their case if they failed to do so, it has been no fault of ours. We offered the opportunity to reach a large and growing family of readers, many of which absolutely rely on this publication for their cue as to whom they will support.
We have always refrained as a rule in a primary where the different candidates in the party were vieing with each other and have allowed the readers themselves to judge without expressing a preference. We may be for or against the persons who use these columns, their patronage in no way could influence our decision, therefore as a rule we state no preference for party candidates.
There are, however, sometimes exceptions to this rule always based upon a principle, we could never make an exception on purely personal grounds.
Take for instance the contest in the 73d Assembly District, we were aware of the desire for a getting together and a public mass meeting was called after due and timely notice had been given which resulted in the nomination of E. C. Jennings, all should have buried their personal differences and got behind Jennings, they didn't but in this instance it is a principle for which we stand and a strong support for Jennings will demonstrate the wisdom of all efforts to get together and in time make the same a reality. In the 73d Assembly District we advise a strong support for Jennings.
In the 74th with any reputable republicans running against Fred Roberts we would not express a preference, we would again leave the proposition up to the people. We do not regard his opponent as reputable and deserving of any support whatsoever therefore we recommend F. M. Roberts for re-election.
In the Senatorial race from the 29th District it is a lurid race both contestants have stated their case in these columns, take your choice between them they are the Hon. Frank H. Mouser, ex Assemblyman from the 74th District, Hon. Joseph Pedrotti, present Assemblyman from the 65th Assemblyman District and Miss Vivien Linden.
The East Side Independent Club at a rousing extra meeting at a special session called for the purpose of investigating certain charges against Asa Keyes, and hearing from a special Committee which had been appointed to investigate the charge, voted unanimously to uphold their former endorsement and more than fifty members volunteered to work at the polls on election day for the election of Mr. Keyes.
The charge of Mr. Keyes being a member of the Klan in the face of his sworn affidavit and also his record for appointing colored men to office was designated as the purest of bunk.
The East Side Club has redoubled its effort and will do yoeman service for Mr. Keyes on next Tuesday. Mr. Wood Wilson is President and Mrs. Ella Cassells, secretary.
BIG MASS MEETING AT BETH EDEN (Continued From Page One)
political matters agrees with their prejudices regarding different race types. Issues proceeding from the office of District Attorney should be handled by a man who can measure up to the emergencies, the complexities, the exasperating situations and though his conclusions run counter to his prejudices he must give us even-handed justice and fair play. Mr. Keyes was unable to attend the meeting as a result of another meeting held in the interest of his campaign but a representative came in the person of Mr. Ostrom and Mr. Keyes suffered not for representation and defense in the absence of a "material witness."
After the three minutes allowed Mr. Ostrom to defend the honor and integrity of Mr. Keyes, and on account of the clear, convincing proof given in fact by that gentleman, Mr. Keyes was raised in the esteem of the meeting, for his spokesman issued a challenge to Mr. Sheldon and in humiliating terms declared that Mr. Ostrom meet Mr. Sheldon in open debate and argue the issues of the campaign to a "fare-the-well," and that the said debate could take place in the Beth Eden Baptist Church, Cor. East 27th St. and Paloma Ave. on any succeeding night prior to the 26th of August with the Lincoln League as Judge.
That challenge was a flat denial of the insinuating, base, cowardly lie that Asa Keves is a member of the K. K. K. It would further prove that Judge Sheldon failed in two successive examinations to satisfy the Commissioners that he knew enough law to practice in the courts of this county. It would seek to establish and labor to prove that Judge Sheldon is a very recent addition to the Bar Association and that it requires a knowledge and practice of law greater than that which can be acquired in two and a half years to handle the most technical office in the County of Los Angeles.
The challenge was not accepted. Conclusion: The accusations are true and there is just foundation for the belief that they are true.
LINCOLN LEAGUE HOLDS MONSTER MEETING (Continued From Page One)
session of the League re-opened the fight for endorsement of candidates. With Dr. Darrington Weaver, President of the League and Chairman on this occasion, the meeting was opened with vigor and style as becomes an organization aware of the seriousness of the task set before it. The League has endorsed practically a complete ticket for the Primary Election of August 26th and the General Election of November 4th. The matter of the Superior Court Judges was considered on the basis of qualification and merit for the office he seeks and the best interest of the party affiliation.
The following names were endorsed for Judgeships:
Ira F. Thompson; Paul Burks; John W. Joos; Arthur Keech; Hugh Crawford; William T. Kendricks; H. S. G. McCartney; Carlos Hardy; Claire T. Van Etten; M. I. Grossman; Maxwell Burke; John M. York.
Judge Walter M. Gates and Judge Judson Brown were endorsed for short terms.
On a motion that the League endorse Judge Sheldon for District Attorney of the County of Los Angeles, the meeting was thrown into a convulsion, and order could not be restored until the name of Asa Keyes, was placed in nomination. After long and heated debate of the question and with exhaustion on part of the Sheldonites for consideration of their candidate, the final and convincing argument came from the floor and by a man who knows men and measures and what is good for his people--H. Douglas Greer made that appeal that swung the pivot Keyesward and amid shouts and yells of "Asa Keyes," "Asa Keyes," the nomination closed and the vote of the body made that candidate the choice of the Lincoln League.
Other endorsements will be made in keeping with the strict policy of the organization for the election to be held in November.

From the dire threat of exposure and evidence as to Asa
Keyes being a Klansman made by our latest and newest. con-
temporagy, ‘the Pacific -Dvfender; we really thought possibly
they had something tangible, and looked forward to their is-
sue of this week for the proof. .
And lo, what did they bring us? They came forth with the
most miserable, flimsy apology for a charge that could possibly
be brought. Great streaming’ heading. Keyes’ charged with
being a-Klan”, nothing in the world to substantiate the ‘asser-
tion, excepting a whole lot of. hog ‘wash of “who shot John”.
It was pitiable indeed for these Knights of ‘the fourth estate to
make such a clumsy'effort for it would;have been best eyen for
their own cause bad they not spoken @ all.

: Tuesday, August 26th
.-------Om last Thursday evening the east side Non Partisan Club
held a'rdusing meeting at St Paul’s Baptist Church Annex cor-
ner of 21st. and Naomi Sts. The building was packed to over-
flowing and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
The meeting was a Keys gathering and no lingering doubt
was apparent to anybod¥ as to the sentiment prevaling for the
‘District attorney at this meeting. Mr Beves was present in
‘person, was introduced b ythe Hon. Chf’s. W. Lyons and made
a most notable address. He‘handled his traducers without
gloves and particularly did he pay his respects to the Rev. Bob
Schuler, spokesman for the Ku Klux'Klan, E
No man who heard Mr. Keyes speak on this .occasion
could for one moment-doubt his veracity and sincerity in deny-
ing his application or-membershp in the hooded knights, he
further’ stated that he never would would join them and that
anybody who said ‘he ever was one or that..we applied to be
such was. a d———— lie. You can’t bet that for coming acroas
withthe goods.
“SThe meeting,was full of enthusiasm for Keyes, ‘very
candidate (and there were a scor) in speaking spoke a word
for Mr. Keyes.’ 'W, H. Sanders, is the Brepidentrand Mrs. A.

LEAGUE'S ENDORSEMENTS
With renewed passion for the good of. our people this
League continues its fight for its members and friends. Our
efforts are rewarded when we see our Doe and girls enter-
ing the various fields of activity whereon their foefathes were
forbiddén to tread.
These endorsements are in keeping with the progressive
ideas and reforms by which we hope for a bigger grip upon
the industrial forces of nature and the desire to meet the least
resistance by combined activity. -
Personal contact with the men whose names appear be-
low prompts us to support them. They are our friends not for
today only but as long as service to humanity remains the
chief fruit of human endeavor. '

to the overwhelming and well-nigh unf-
versal disadvantage of the latter. By
the light of this ifluminating fact the
purpose and intent of the law become
plainly visible—a purpose and intent
that stand condemned at the bar of
the Federal Constitution. But in em-
phasizing this position we must not
for a moment lend color to the thought
that the vice of, the law consists sole-
ly in the multitide of those adversely
affected by it. The protection of the
Constitution wag extended to an er-
tire race—to all races—it is true, but
it ‘is extented just as much to’ the
humblest member of that race. Each
single individual in it, if a citizen of
the ‘United States, is| assured that
FOUR
neither thé United States nor any
State shall ‘deny or abridge his right
to vote on account of race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude; and any
law to the, contrery, no matter from
how high a source it comes or how
adroitly its purpose may be hidden, is
invalid and void though he alone be
reached by it. To, sustain the validity
of a suffrage amendment such as the
Present it must appear not that under
certain conflitions some of every race
may be admitted to the suffrage but
that under no condition will any mem-
ber of any race be excluded for racial
reasons. In each and every line and
syllable, fm meaning ag well ag in
phrase, in fulfilment as well as in
promise, the races must stand side by
side”, \
‘This tomy mind, is more important

T repeat ‘that the Colored man is in
a position for the first:time in the his-
tory of this country that he can make
up his mind to fight for men and
measures, irrespective of the names
Republican or Democrat.”
Mr. Davis said to me a few weeks
ago in New York in speaking of this
case: “After the argument a promin-
ent Senator said to me, ‘If I had
known that you were that kind of Igw-
yer you would never have been con-
firmed.’”
Mr. Henry, Editor Philadelphia be

sioner for Pennsylvania with this com-
ment, “John W. Davis, my life long
friend, has just been nominated” for
President by the Democratic Conven-
tion. I am going to campaign for him.
Tam going to help elect him.”
Fred. R. Moore, ditor of the New
York Age, June 28, under the cap-
tion: “Political Management”, says:
“Uniess they (Afro-Americans) have
some guarantee. that the basic princl-
ples of Republicanism will be lived up
to.in the future, they can see no ree-
son for prefering a Republican to a
Democratic Administration.” “If a Re-
pudlican Administration tears to sp-

In epeaking of his trip hé said:

The New York orld under date
of July 17th prints| the following let-
ter from a prominent colored attorney
of Washington, D. C., James A. Cobb:

CHANDLER OWEN PLEASES BIG
AUDIENCE TO THE UTMOST
Last Monday evening, Chandler
Owen, brilliant editor of the Messen-
ger, brotight ta Los Angeles his lat-
est lecture. It was well received and
he held to the utmost attention his
audience for quite two hours of its
delivery.
‘The subject, “Why a man should
sell his vote", was unique and in a
clever and, entertaining manner he
brought thé’subject home to his hear-
ers.
His analysis of things political was
especially interesting and evoked the
greatest intesest. At a later date it is
our purpdte to write upon this phase
and wil take up the deductions set
forth by Mr. Owens.
be lulled into a feeling of security by
the fact that the Klan is seemingly no
longer antiNegro. The Klan is as
much anti-Negro now as it was the
day it was organized. At present it is
not spending much time in tarring and
feathering or branding or mobbing in-
dividual Negroes. It is devoting its
energies to a bigger job, the job of
gaining political power, of gaining con-
trol of government. When it has done
this, if it succeeds, it will again turn
its attention to the Negro and it will
then execute its policjes not upon the
individual Negroes, but upon the race
as a whole”. “If the Klan’ gaing the
power which ‘it contemplates it will
at once begin to take from the Negro
his guarantees and even his claims to
the common rights of citizenship.
This is one of ots deepest laid plans.
It is therefore the duty of every Ne
gro citizen in the states where the
Klan is an issue and where the votes
of the Negro count are counted, to dis-
card sentimental political allegiance
to any party and vote against candi-
are named and supported and en-
dates who are named and supported
and endorsed by the Klan”.
“The situation in Indiana is a case
in poin. There the Republican nom®
nee for Governor has the open en-
dorsement of the Klan, an endorse.
ment which he fully accepted. In that
State the Republican United States
Senator, James E, Watson, who stands
high im Administration circles‘ openly
confers and consorts with Klan lead-
ers. It bas been left fur the Demo-
crats of that state to denounce and
disavow. the Klan’ It is therefore the
plain duty of all Colored voters in In-
diana to vote against the Republican
candidate tor Goernor and against ev-
ery other Republican candidate in
that atate”.

WHERE TO AT
WESLEY M. E. CHURCH
Sth and San Julian Sts.
Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor
Sunday was a great day at Wesley. A great crowd heard the great sermon in the morning by Dr. J. O. Williams of Marshall, Texas, and a splendid audience was thrilled by the excellent Girl's Day program at the evening service.
This Sunday will be a record breaker. It is Old Folks' Day and the pastor will preach the morning sermon. An unusually fine service being arranged for the evening hour. Do not miss it.
Our church will unite with Hamilton Church in the afternoon in a great mass meeting at which Dr. J. O. Williams will preach one of his great sermons. You will miss a great treat if you do not hear him.
Wesley promises a helpful service to all who worship with us. Come and see.
This is August Dollar Day.
FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH
Pice and Paloma
A good congregation heard the pastor at 11 a.m. m. last Sunday preach from Matt. 12:20, "A bruised reed shall He not break, nor quench the burning sax."
At the evening service the pastor spoke on "The Gospel of Doing," Acts 9:6—"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"
The pastor will preach at the morning service next Sunday, and in the evening there will be an illustrated sermon from the great picture, "Judge Not." It is expected that many will come out to get the great teaching of this remarkable picture. On Tuesday evening, Sept. 16, Mr. Chas. B. Boston, tenor, will be heard in recital, assisted by Mrs. A. C. Billbrow, dramatic reader, and Mrs. Viola Harris Brandon, accompanist and A.M. E. Zion Choir directed by Prof. W. M. Byrne.
A series of afternoon sermons by ministers of our sister churches will be heard during the month of September.
Miss Hazel Gottschalk will present her pupils in recital at this church, August 25th. Many talented local people will assist her. Visitors, friends and strangers given a cordial welcome at Zion.
Last October, Rev. J. M. Brown took charge of the First A. M. E. Church of Pasadena. This is one the choice appointments among the A. M. E. on the coast. It is claimed that some of the most wealthy and progressive colored people of California are members of this very popular congregation. Some of the leading ministers of the A. M. E. connection are numbered among its past pastors. In all the history and great accomplishments of this Church it is said by those in position to know, that never have they had such a year as the living under the pastorate of Rev. Brown. Those who know him and the history of his work at Oakland and San Francisco, as well as the many years in the middle-west are not surprised at all.
Shortly after arriving in Pasadena, he saw the wisdom and need of the Church securing, for its future protection, a valuable piece of adjoining property. Price of this property little more than block from Colorado St. was $600.000. Rev. Brown finally bought it for $275.00. It is a beautiful modern house of five large rooms, garage and other conveniences, which bring the church $50.00 per month. The interest and whole cost has been $550.00. Last Tuesday evening in Trustee Board meeting, every dollar of this purchase price was paid, the deed is now being executed. This has all been done by these big hearted people in about 8 hours time. Their beautiful property, with parsonage building is also paid for. So they won'*some of the finest church among our group anywhere and all out of debt. Even new street tax all paid.
The congregation and the Sunday School have grown to such magnitude that it is necessary to enlarge and remodel. This work is contemplated to take place soon.
More than one hundred additions have been made to the church this year and there is an AH around happy spirit among the people. The future of the church is very bright and report at Gaklaid Conference, Sept. 17, will show more than twelve thousand dollars applied for all purposes during conference year.
PEOPLES INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST
The services of the entire day of the Sunday were marked with the early晨间 interest and the national andannual results of the day were very prominent at the closing of the second Sunday national program, at the Royal Hotel church services marked with the organ voluntary by organist, Mrs. Bannie Benjamin. The program succeeded with the proclamation, followed by the service and dance. A very early morning selection was sung by a chorus then the invocation of the services of the morning. A very pleasant selection preceded the serenade.
mon. the pastor, Dr. Greggs, preached a soul stirring sermon from the subject, "Christianity Four-Square". As a result of this spiritual discourse some nine or ten united with the church. A large number of visitors were present and introduced. The evening program was likewise interesting. The pastor spoke from the subject, "Smiles". The financial offering for the day was exceedingly gratifying with the beyond measure. The Anniversary Sunday School Clinic took place Thursday August 21st in Passadena, and was largely attended by members and friends of the church and Sunday School. Everyone is looking forward to the grand recital Thursday evening, August 28th. The three bright stars will be presented to the public constituting a trio of the world beaters. They are: Prof. Thomas Johnson, choir director; Mrs. Fannie Benjamin, pipe organist; and Master Leon Perdue, elocutionist and reader. This is one of the crowning events of the season, and all are expected to be present. The greatest event will be preparations being made for the National Council of Negro Independent churches, which will convene in Detroit, Michigan. September 10th. Everyone is standing pat in the support of the delegates for this great event. Next week's issue will announce other important events in the future activities of the church.
WARD CHAPEL A: M. CHURCH
1252 E. 25th Street
Rey, B. R. Guy, Pastor
Our Sunday School last Sunday was quite interesting and the offering creditable.
At the morning services, there were visitors present from Minneapolis, Minn., Kansas City, Mo., San Diego, Cal. and the city of Los Angeles. The pastor spoke from the text, "Be Ye Kind One to Another, Tender Hearted. Forgiving one Another even as God for Christ's Sake Hail Forgiven You. The large congregation gave strict attention, and numbers promised to return.
In the event, the Senior Endeavor was largely attended, the lesson very impressive and highly instructive.
At night Rev. Redden preached from the text, "Beware." The vast mixed audience was very attentive. The pastor is collecting Dollar and Conference Claims.
Next Sunday will be Trustee Day. Quarterly Meeting, August 31st and Quarterly Conference, Sept. 2nd.
PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E.
CHURCH
Newton Street
Dr. R. W. Underwood, Pastor
Last Sunday was boys' and girls' day. The girls came out victories over the boys; but the boys, who jubilant over the defeat, and said that they were not discouraged in the least. Both the boys and the girls rendered nice programs. Everybody enjoyed the programs. Their music and other selections; charmed the entire congregation to the extent that they were lifted occasionally from their seats. Sunday is General Rally Day, and every loyal member is called upon to do his or her best to make the rally a success. We need every dime possible to help us out of this struggle. The church burned in June and we must be housed again before the rain sets in. Will you please heed the call? The services will be held all day at the Seventh Adventist Church. Preaching at 11 A. M. 3:00 P. M. and a musical at 7:30 P. M. to which the pulsis is cordially inked. In the case of the girls was preached by Miss Veola Brown of Eighth and Towne. She preached an excellent sermon full of thought and inspiration. Prof. C. C. Simmons of Phoenix, Arizona, preached for the boys. His sermon was a masterly effort and everybody was inspired and lifted after hearing the message.
METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. M. C. Carter, Pastor
Services were unusually good at Metropolitan Sunday past. The pastor preached with force from the subject "The Value of the Human Soul." At the evening service, Dr. W. C. Young, pastor of New Hope Baptist Church, San Bernardino preached from the text, Jeremiah 45:11. This indeed was a strong, intellectual sermon which carried throughout the thought of the sickness of modern cancer. The pastor will fill the pulpit Sunday at both services. His morning subject will be "The Church and Its Task." Evening subject "The Unmoveable Christian."
We are pleased to have our Directress, Mme. Mozelle Te Outlay, is with us again after being confined to her home with a severe cold.
Sunday night, August 24th Evangelist P. Gustavus Rodgers will speak on the wrath of God as described in the 16th chapter of the book of Revelation. In this chapter seven angels are represented as pouncing out the Seven Last Flags and it is these plagues that the Evangelist destroys to describe the scriptures give the Gospel Minister the authority to do so. Although not a very pleasant subject to speak upon yet Mr. Rodgers states it is necessary so that mankind will know just how to escape the awful
anger of the Lord which is at the present hold in check by the Ministry of the One True High Priest, Jesus, the Son of God. When the inter-terest of the Saviour is over, then there will be no the hold back the wrath of Jehovah, and it will wrath and how the true Christian will be protected from it, that will be considered in the sermon of Sunday night, August 5. Everyone interested in a shelter from the judgments of Heaven should hear it. All seats are free for a most cordial welcome is extended to everybody. Song service at 7:45 P. M. sharp.
EBENZEER BAPSTIST CHURCH
9th and Naomi Sts.
This church is doing a great work in soul-saving and edifying. Our new location, like our pastor, is a gift of God. Ebenezer is the right church in the right place, a evangelistic campaign augments with each successive week. Twenty-eight persons have joined the church.
NEW HOPE BAPISTI CHURCH
Paloma Street
The "Revelation" which was so beautifully demonstrated by the 66 characters last Monday, Aug. 18, at our church was presented as never before. It is one of the greatest and greatest Biblical plays of today's history, and one thing remarkable about it is one of our own race composed and directed this wonderful drama.
The Revelation cannot be excelled: the 22 chapters were beautifully demonstrated; the 11 Angels sang as just from Heaven, their melodious voices edified the listeners and the 4 and 20 elders sang praises unto God, their joyful noise electrified the very souls of the negation.
The Bibbrow Female Quartette and the Douglass Female Quartette with their Harmonious voices sang as never before, they cannot be excelled.
The prize winners were: Mrs. Mamie Wilson, 1st prize, a 20 lb. Ham; Mrs. Cora Ellis, 2nd prize, 20 lbs. of sugar.
SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH
740 Maple Avenue
Rev. T. L. Griffith, Pastor
"I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord." This is the sentiment of all those present in the morning and evening services of the "Old Second Church." The Holy Spirit prevailed throughout the day beginning in the morning with solos by our nightingale Mrs. Marle Overstreet Jackson and Evangelist Lewis. "His Lord," Mark 11,22 was the inspirational subject for the morning by Dr. Mitchell. The evening service succeeded with somewhat the same spirit as that of the morning. Rev. Atwater of Tenn. delivered the evening message.

Pastor Mitchell filled his station last Sunday at both services, using as his subjects: "Who are the Children of God," "Sabbath, Lord's day or which" Both discourses were a source of information upon the subjects in hand. Mrs. DePriest, secretary of the Woman's Community Civic League was present Sunday morning. The pastor called upon the distinguished visitor for remarks, who responded in an acceptable manner. Mrs. DePriest made an impressive appeal in behalf of candidacy of Atty. En Jennings for State Assemblyman from the 373rd District. A guest will offering was on Saturday. The Christian Church considers it a privilege to encourage the election to public offices such as Mr. Jennings. The pastor emphasizes the fact that, the church can take part in the affairs of the state with impunity. Regular services next Sunday.
UNION BAPTIST CHURCH
1396 E. 16th Street
Much interest was manifested in the Sunday School session when it was reviewed by the pastor.
Several visitors were present. The pastor preached at the evening service "What is the Gospel." One accepted membership. Beginning the first Sunday Union Baptist Church will hold her first revival. Sister Essie Williams, Evangelist, will preach at both services next Sunday. Visitors always welcome.

Rev. E. E. Lightner, Rastor
"Fobbery and Robbbers," was the subject used by the Pastor at the morning hour last Sunday as he spoke to the appreciative audience. Text (Malachi 8.1) "Will a Man Rob God?" Many out of town visitors were in the audience. In the evening the Qhoor, under the directing of Prof. J. M. McCllan, assisted by some of the best talent of the city and Pasdeeza, gave what was uniquely the best musical program in the history of the church. The program consisted of Choruses, male and mixed quartets, trio, duets and solos. Music layers of Los Angeles and adjacent towns turned in large numbers to wit this splendid program. This was the beginning of a number of similar programs that will be offered to the public in the future.

R. W. 6. Benege, Pastor
Services at this church on last Sunday were of that high order which usually characterizes them. The pastor preached at the morning and evening hours, sermons that uplifted and inspired, and the 'Choir sang with their usual power and sweetness.
Sunday School was well attended and profitable, and was attended by a large number of scholars who profited well from the lessons taught.
Chandler gave his address: "Why Every Man Should Sell His Vote," on Monday night, under the auspices of the East Side Mother's Club. It was well received.
Evangelistic services were begun on Tuesday night conducted by Rev J. O. Williams, of Marshall, Texas. These services promise to be very profitable and helpful. They are being conducted at Chapel and Hamilton Churches. Come and help the church is undergoing an overhauling at this time, being treated to a coat of kafirine and varnish.

The hand of God is surely in our work. We are doing real well in all of the services. The minister took his place in the pulpit at eleven o'clock and used for his text the second chapted of St. John and the nineteenth verse, "Jesus answered and said unto them, destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Services for next Lord's day as usual: Bible at 9:45 A. M. and preaching a t11 a. m. And at night at the Birch Street Church we talked from the sixth verse of the First Chapter of the book of Joshah. "So the chipmaster came to him, and said unto him, what meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise call upon thy God. If so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not." The services for next Lord's day. Bible School at 9:45 A. M. and preaching at 11 A. M. Young people's meeting at 7 P. M. and preaching at 8 P. M. All are welcome to the services. GOD SINGING.
TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH
Hamlock on 19th FEB.
Rev. J. D. Gordon, D. D., Pastor
Again we had the pleasure of attending the Sunrise Prayer Services. It was well attended both by the Holy Spirit and in numbers. Indeed much encouragement was given Deacon Johnson who so willingly and untriggers conducts the meetings.
Our Sunday School is rapidly growing under the leadership of Sister Regler. We sent more money this year to the Association than any other school. Much credit is due Sister E. O. Solomon in helping us to reorganize our school and present plan.
At 11:18 A.M. the pastor preached from Col. 3:13 and indeed the spirit was present. Three persons were added to the church; one for baptism. Quite a number of visitors were present.
The B. Y. P. U. with Sister Sertites as president was well attended. After the classes had gone over the lesson a very interesting program was rendered under the management of Miss J. Seaggs. There were two visitors, Miss A. Hutchinson of Independent Church and Madam Reid of Wilkins Studio. At 8:00 P. M. Rev. Mitchell, D. D. pastor of the "Independent Baptist Church at Fresno preached. His subject was "God is Love." It was enjoyed by all present Everyone was well benefitted by the wonderful message. We are blessed with the services of Mt. Holiday as our christor and Mrs. Helen Beams as organist. Rev. Plus our assistant pastor has left for the East to visit his mother and children. The Tabernacle Liter-

THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
OF DUARTE
Cor of Elders and Flower Churches
Sunday was a blessed day in our little church. Twenty boys and girls answer the roll call in. Sunday school. All officers present except one. At eleven o'clock service, Pastor Martin said he was tired from the strenuous work of the week at the Association. But if he was physically tired he was certainly spiritually strong, for at no time have we listened to a message so uplifting, inspiring and soul stirring. The educt song by the young ladies was sweet. We had a good number out notwithstanding that there was a wedding at the other church. At 6 P. M. the B. Y. P. U. held its second meeting with much enthusiasm. The M. Rev. Martin preached from the 12th chapter of Romans. Subject, "Let love be dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil, close to that which is god." Romans 12.2. The message fell on hearts hungering and thirsting after righteousness. There were two admissions to the church, one a candidate for baptism. Receipts, for the day, $10.91.

Our Sunday School was well
attended. The lesson was entered into
with animation and its chief points
driven home. At the 11 o'clock service
Dr. Prowd preached from John
16.12-"I have many things to say
until you but cannot be them now."
At the close the bodies of the
church held a meeting devising ways
and means to send their baster to the
National Baptist Convention.
At 7 o'clock the B. Y. P. U. held a
splendid session. The pastor closed
the services of the day with a short
but impressive sermon. Our Peanut

and others, came off in fine order and
with results.
Dr. R. S. Stout, D. D. general secretary of the Church Extension Board of the C. M. E. Church with headquarters at Louisville, Ky, and J. A. Stout, his brother and pastor of Carter Temple C. M. E. Church, Chicago, have been in the city and vicinity since last Saturday. They are both here on vacations spending the time with relatives and dear ones here in Southern California. Both of them spoke at Methodist Churches (white) Sunday morning. Dr. R. S. Stout at Trinity, 12th and Flower an d Dr. J. A. Stout at Marvin Church, 54th and Hooper. They made pleas for rebuilding funds for Phillips Temple C. M. E. Church recently burned at 1406 Newtons. Their combined efforts added $5000 to the subscription. Dr. Underwood and his people are greatly encouraged. The two Stout brothers accompanied by Dr. A. C. Caldwell of Phoenix, Arizona, spent Monday night in San Diego where they delivered talks at the University of San Diego. They will visit southern California cities and then return to their respective fields of labor. These two ministers are well known in Southern California. Both have done distinguished service here.

Church in California several years ago, as Presiding Elder of the Los Angeles District. He took large interest in civic affairs and was a forceful factor in all movements of uplift and fair play.

SOME, "COMMON SENSE"
COMPARISONS AND
REVIEWS
by "Twinkling Star"
"Coolidge an Common Sense", will be the slogan of the current Republican campaign. Why? Because the commonsense of Calvin Coolidge represents ability, honesty and courage. That speech of acceptance was a document of pure statesmanship, comprehending facts in unanswerable logic. It was singularly free from mud and belittling aspersions. It was the work of knowledge, reason and experience—the fundamentals of Common sense.
We are great admirers of John W. Davis because of 1. his training; 2. his diplomatic experience; and 3. his record as the legal champion in the battle in which the late Chief Justice White wrote the decision of the United States Supreme Court which once and forever swept away the "grandfather clause" from the constitution of the Southern states. But Mr. Davis ran amuck in his speech of acceptance when he singled out the taint of certain Republican individuals as that of the whole party. That kind of reasoning does not convince us any more than that by which the white man brands the entire Negro race as criminals and mental imbeciles because there are individual Negro criminals and mental imbeciles.
Asa Keyes for District Attorney, folks, notwithstanding Harry Chandler's! The Los Angeles "Times" has not cited a single instance to prove that Mr. Keyes is the candidate of the Ku Klux Klan. And we are unable to reconcile that statement with the position which Bob Shuyer's Klan magazine has outlined against Mr. Keyes because he appointed C. T. Ross as a Deputy District Attorney in his office.
Broyles. or Jennings, which? That's a sorry fight; but it is on so we shall leave it to the voters' judgment.
While we are almost sure that Fredrick M. Roberts will storm the 74th Assembly District, we are endorsing Joseph L. Pedrotti, for State Senator That fellow is an aggressive tiger.
That Jack Moonfixer "shoves a wicked pen" is quite true, however, original was that "sailors' yarn". Only a wicked writer would deliberately use his advantage to belittle and "knock" people whom he personally envies and dislikes.

follow who is innocent never needs to yell about it, for innocence is eloquent of its own unspoken expression and defense.
"The church properly conducted" may, as you say, Jack, be "a school of religion"; but isn't it a school of irreligion when ruled by hypocrites?
One of the greatest curses in our Negro churches is noisy self-righteousness. Another is the habit of some preachers who ramble and scramble in their pulpits from 11:45 A. M. until 1:15 P. M. and say nothing. Even *Jack leg* who takes a little time to prepare his sermons, could deliver it in 30 minutes.
A good many of your type are responsible for "church loaders". Jack. Men will never have confidence in hypocrisy, whether it springs from the pulpit or the pen. They care nothing about what "smooth lies" you tell when they are dead; they are looking for sincerity and truth from you while they are alive.
It is far better to have some learning with conceit than to have conceit without any learning. I particularly refer the latter part of the foregoing to the attention of Jack Moonixer.
Ambition, impudence or folly—which? This fellow wants a hundred dollars to put his twaddle in book form! It is a consolation to recall, however, that everything embalmed in paper and printers' ink and having the shape of a book, is certainly not a real book!
the trouble with would-be, thinkers like Jack Moonfixer, is that they mistake their intellectual looseness for intellectual discipline with intellectual slavery. He who would be a mental Collosus must be about as severe with himself in the training of his mind as he would with his body, if he would be aphysical giant.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
BOB SCHULER LET THE CAT OUT THE BAG (Continued Fro mPage One) has been heard of that birds of a feather flock together. And association begets assimilation. Again evil communications corrupt good morals. So, colored voters, beware of the Klan's handy man-Judge Sheldon.
It seems to us that Mr. Keyes is very fortunate in having the opposition of the Klan. Certainly it speaks well for him to the decent white protestant Americans who are worth while, to the Catholics, Jews and Negroes, and to all those men who place law and order and clean citizenship above the mob's midnight court which belongs to the hyena and jackal stage of civilization.
During the war each ally was an enemy of any country on the Central Powers' side. For instance, when the United States declared war on Germany, she declared war on Austria, Turkey and Servia. In turn Germany and the Central Powers declared war on every new ally as fast as one joined, while the United States, England, France, Russia and Italy declared war immediately upon any country which joined with Germany. It was a perfectly logical course. It was not possible to fight France without fighting England, the United States, Italy and Russia just as it was not possible to attack Austria without attacking Germany and Turkey. To assist one's enemy, to ally with or accept the support of one's foe is to become one's foe. Moreover, to fight one's foe and to be fought by one's foe is to become that one's enemy. In being fought by the Klan, the Negroes' bitter foe Asa Keyes has become, ipse fact the Negro's ally. In like manner Judge Sheldon by allying with the hooded Huns has become the unquestioned foe of the Colored folk.
Negroes are too far advanced today to be ignorant of the power of their ballot. They need very little training to understand that they should support their friends and swat their enemies.
Never support any man supported by the Klan unless he has repudiated the act what they stand for. With the types of Negroes which Los Angeles holds along with the great mass of forward looking stable white people the Honorable Asa Keyes should welcome the Klan's opposition. He can wear it as a badge of pride, a label of honorable distinction, a mark of enlightened statesmanship. Traveling under its livery he can look forward to winning the District Attorneyship.
A little light was turned on these human vermin. These anthropoid germs, human bacteria, lice, and scum, like similar members in the bacteriological family cannot stand the light of day. The Ku Klux germs shrivel, shrink and die in the sun. As Shakespeare says: "Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, While night's black agents to their prey do rouse." Let Asa Keyes keep up his vigorous, dignified but dynamic campaign against all these forces of wickedness and the good citizens of this city will elect him by the most overwhelming vote of which he has ever remotely dreamed.

TUESDAY'S PRIMARY
On next Tuesday California goes to the polls for the selection of candidates to make the race at the polls November 4. In many cases (most of them) the nomination is equivalent to election especially is this so on the partisan tickets; therefore Tuesday's election becomes important indeed.
In this primary election as in the past, the Eagle has seen fit to open its columns that all candidates might state their case if they failed to do so, it has been no fault of ours. We offered the opportunity to reach a large and growing family of readers, many of which absolutely rely on this publication for their cue as to whom they will support.
We have always refrained as a rule in a primary where the different candidates in the party were vicing with each other and have allowed the readers themselves to judge without expressing a preference. We may be for or against the persons who use these columns, their patronage in no way to influence our decision, therefore as a rule we state no preference for party candidates.
There are, however, sometimes exceptions to this rule always based upon a principle, we could never make an exception on purely personal grounds.
Take for instance the contest in the 73d Assembly District, we were aware of the desire for a getting together and a public mass meeting was called after due and timely notice had been given which resulted in the nomination of E. C. Jennings, all should have buried their personal differences and got behind Jennings, they didn't but in this instance it is a principle for which we stand and a strong support for Jennings, will demonstrate the wisdom of all efforts to get together and in time make the same a reality. in the 73d Assembly District we advise a strong support for Jennings. In the 74th with any reputable republican running against Fred Roberts we would not express a preference, we would again leave the proposition up to the people. We do not regard his opponent as reputable and deserving of any support whatsoever therefore we recommend F. M. Roberts for re-election.
In the Senatorial race from the 20th District it is a lurgid race both contestants have stated their case in these columns, take your choice between them they are the Hon. Frank H. Mouser, ex-Assemblyman from the 74th District, Hon. Joseph Pedrotti, present Assemblyman from the 65th Assemblyman District and Miss Vivien Linden.
FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY
As a matter of principle we have no hesitancy to express our choice in the person of Hon. Asa Keyes the present District Attorney.
Rev. Bob Schuler turned the trick and burned down all bridges of approach any other way. In another article we have treated upon this situation and with all sincerity advise a hearty support for the Hon. Asa Keyes for District Attorney.
For judges we have made a few selections and they appear elsewhere in this issue cut them out take them to the polls with you and you can't go wrong.
VOTE FOR THE POWER BONDS
Despite the fact that there appears to be no organized opposition to the power bond issue to be voted on at the August 26th election, Mr. MacKeigan today issued a warning to the voters against over confidence in the success of this vital issue.
"It should be remembered", pointed out Mr. MacKeigan, "that a two-thirds majority is required to carry any bond issue in Los Angeles. This means that every citizen who realizes that prosperity cannot continue and payrolls cannot be built up unless we provide large additional power service must pledge himself to vote and see that he takes at least one other person to the polls with him.
"Voting of the power bonds should be regarded as 'nothing more than a necessary business procedure on the part of our city government. The tremendous growth of our city, of course, makes large and costly extensions to the Power Bureau's distributing system imperatively necessary. These large an permanent improvements can be financed only by bond money. "Power bonds do not increase taxes one cent for the reason that all interest and principal charges on these bonds are paid from earnings of the Power 'Bureau.' "Payment of these charges from earnings of the Power Bureau is an established policy of that municipal department and furthermore it is definitely provided for in the new City Charter recently adopted by the voters."
Dr. Wilbur C. Gordon, Washington Paloma streets, LOS ANGELES.
My dear Dr. Gordon:
A few weeks ago I visited the resting-place on Riverside Drive, New York City, of General U.S. Grant, Civil War. Here and President of the United States, as I stood there in respectful reverence to our illustrious dead, I noted the atmosphere and dignity of the tomb and wondered if the time would ever come when every worthy man, woman or child would have a final resting place for their bodies that would be perpetually cared for as is the monument this nation has built for its fighting here.
Since my return to Los Angeles, my attention has been called to the plans and intention of The Paradise Mausoleum Company of which, I understand, you are a member and I am writing to express the sincere hope that the mausoleum planned for the perpetual care of the bodies of our departed souls, will soon be built and that women will at once begin to realize that what Westminster means to the decendents of George Washington and what Mount Vernon seared tomb at Tuskegee means to those who knew and loved the peer of modern education, paradise Mausoleum can be made to thousands of individuals who revere their departed relatives and friends to the extent that their remains, after death, shall repose in an atmosphere of dignity and commanding reverence.
The plans of your organization offer to the poor the privileges once accorded only to royalty,尊崇 that wealth present any civilization demands something better than the people will have but to know your plans.
That Paradise Mausoleum company proceeds in its efforts in the above wise of,
Very truly,

ARE--YOU--INSURED Perhaps-You-Only-Think-You-Are
Have you ever tried to figure out what is left to your bereaved family out of the insurance money after FUNERAL EXPENSES, TOMBSTONE EXPENSES, and the cost of the lot in the old fashioned cemetery, is deducted? Do you think that your Widow has the time and is she inclined to shop, bargain or hunt for desirable burial property at this moment of bereavement, and does the stop at the purchase of only one lot in this unsanitary and unsightly cemetery? No, she is solicited to purchase two or three or maybe more lots, it depending on the living members of the bereaved family; she is informed that it would keep all the members of the family together.
Can you conceive how much money is expended from the insurance money that you have left the family, for their PROTECTION?
Does this money PROTECT them when it is EXPENDED on you, through your LACK of providing burial space when you were in a position to do so and only through negligence have you failed to provide same?
Why don't you make your decision NOW to protect your loved ones? Unless you decide to do so while in possession of your normal faculties, you will be adding to th esuffering they experience in the loss of a dear one. And you will be ROBBING them of the protection which you are deluding yourself that you have given them.
The family who has decided upon mausoleum interment has made a choice which wil grow in satisfacton as the years roll on.
The consideration of cost need deter no one in such a vital matter, when it is possible to secure these mausoleum crypts for as little as $145—part down and the balance monthly—a price which compares more more than favorably with the cost of the average cemetery lot with its suitable markers and monuments. When one contrasts the interment in marble vaults with burial in the ground, contrasts the eternal character of the crypts with the inevitable disintegration which takes place beneath the sed, it must be the unavoidable decision that price has no arguments to deflect calm judgment.
And for this small cost the entire building of reinforced concrete, marble, and stained glass is yours to call your own and to use at any time in any kind of weather. In all its simple beauty and enduring charm this stately edifice may become the visualization of your dream for the care and protection of those whom you love, just as it will exemplify the devotion of hundreds whose dear ones will sleep beneath its rocf.
All crypts are sold on the partial payment plan. Your circumstances should not prevent you from participating with the others. Terms will be made to quit your individual case.

CARLOS S. HARDY, JUDGE
SUPERIOR COURT
Judge Hardy, now presiding in one of the Criminal Departments of the Superior Court, is a candidate to succeed himself for the full term beginning January 1925.
Judge Hardy was born in 1866, admitted to the Bar in June, 1886, a few months before he was 20 years old, and has spent 38 years at the Bar and on the Bench. While mature in years and rich in experience, he is in the civil vigor of active, healthful manhood.
Judge Hardy holds the degrees of L.L. B., (Bachelor of Law), L.L. M. (Master of Law), and D. C. L. (Doctor of Civil Law).
For eight years Judge Hardy was professor of law of agencies, sales, bailments, and carriers in the Illinois, College of law (now the law Department of DePaul University, Chicago), and for eight years was lecturer on the Law of Insurance and Medical Jurisprudence in the Law College, University of Southern California.
For ten years Judge Hardy was General Council for the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, five years Supreme President of the Fraternal Protherhood, fifteen years a high of social of the National Fraternal Congress, and is a member of several fraternal societies. He is the author of standard text books on the Law of Fraternal Insurance.
Judge Hardy is an active member of the American Bar Association, the California Bar Association, and the Los Angeles Bar Association.
For many years Judge Hardy has been actively identified with the work of the leading civic organizations for the advancement of educational, social and civic conditions in Los Angeles County. Throughout the World War he served on the Executive Committee in charge of the Liberty Loan, Red Cross and the other campaigns put on in Los Angeles, and was vice Chairman of the Forr Minute Men, and made several hundred speeches in support of cur cause.
Judge Hardy has made an enviable record as a trial judge, for abilty and fairness and for expeditious disposition of cases, and upon such record and his recognized qualifications he submits his candidacy to succeed himself as Judge of the Superior Court in the primary election Tuesday August 26, 1924.
We have no hesitancy in commending the candidacy of Judge Hardy for the consideration of the vets at the polls on next Tuesday.

activities, but it does seem to me that after a period of 30 years trial under State laws and State officials, during which time there have been 3000 cases of lynchings and no punishments, as far as I can find out, of the guilty individuals who participated in the lynching, the time has come to deman a change. It seems to me we are confronted with a condition that requires us to say that existing agencies for law and order have failed to work and that the state and local authorities now vested with the responsibility of enforcing the law are unable to function in the case of a lynching.
Mr. Summers, of Texas: Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
Mr. Summers: Does the gentleman think it would be a good idea for the Federal Government to inject its policy into the situation out there in California on the Pacific Coast with respect to the Japanese and the Chinese? Mr. Swing: I would say that if there were cases of lynching of the Japanese I would agree. My State, I frankly confess, has not been an innocent State in the matter of lynchings, but I think that a great majority of those cases happened in the days of 49, before law and order and courts were carried into the far West. Since law and order, and the courts have been instituted as the instrumentality for the punishment of crime, it seems to me that no fair man today can defend the act of lynching. Nor do I believe
there are any who do, even in the South, and I refer to the South, not because the South is defending lynching, it is not. The best men are attempting to stamp out lynching, but the instrumentalities through which are working are ineffectual for the purpose. I think this is, the reason why they are ineffectual. Lynching, as we understand it, is mob violence. It is the thought of the community crystallized into action. The whole community has the feeling which a few men finally carry into action, but they would not have carried it into action if the whole community were not thinking the thing which they finally did. How can you expect the Grand jury of a country to pass judgment upon its own neighbors when they as well as their neighbors and those who commit the deed are infected with the virus which brought about the act of lynching? How can you expect the local Sheriff, or the local Judge, whose office is given by the votes of their neighbors, to turn around and take any drastic action against them?
Mr. Upshaw: Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield? Mr. Swing: Yes. Mr. Upshaw: Does the gentleman conceive how the result would be widely different with the Federal Jury from what it would be with a local jury, both coming from the same section? Mr. Swing: Yes, I do. The Federal District Attorney and the Judge are responsible to a different authority. They are not dependent upon the suffrage of the people of the community. The Federal Grand Jury is drawn from a much wider community than just the county in which the act is committed. That is the hope of the present law, that by a change of venue you can get a different set of authorities and a different community to draw your jury from—one that is not poisoned with the same virus which has poisoned the local community and brought about the very act of violence which the authorities are supposed to suppress.
The Chairman: The time of the gentleman from California has expired.

"If there is genius in the Negro", said Lillian B. Jones in "Five Generations Hence", "it will assert itself. If not, then his place is with the millions of commonplace beings who plod uncomplainingly the paths of life".
No one can deny that with the repeated success of William Braithwaite, the large, enthusiastic audience of DuBois, the phenomenal success of Miss Jessie Redmond Fauset in getting out a second edition of "There Is Confusion", and the amazing feats performed by others in the fields of history and economics, that there is genius in the Negro.
A supervisor of art in one of the public schools of Texas has just displayed for us several drawings and sketches done by Negro children. The work, in perspective, coloring, and all the other details known to the student of art, is admirable, and suggests that there is more latent talent in Negro children than the wildest imagination can conceive.
No less a caustic and keen commentator than Mr. George Jean Nathan, formerly editor of "The Smart Set" and more recently of "The American Mercury", has just come forth with a declaration that "the Negro is a born actor"; while Miss Evelyn Preer's consummate enactment of Oscar Wilde's Salome brought forth a storm of discussion into which the veteran dramatic critic, Prof. James Brander Matthews of Columbia swiftly jumped into, only to emerge to express his enthusiasm that Miss Preer could stand comparison with any other actress previously performing that role and not lose by that comparison.
There is genius in the Negro.

Each candidate in the 73rd Assembly District is our personal friend. We have for each one of them the highest personal regard. We are, however, a strong believer in the "get-to-gather slogan. The people met, they voted in an open man's meeting for Jennings, the others should have been glad to come down and join in for the winner. If our group ever makes real progress they must forget self, and stand for the masses. Jennings by all means should receive the most hearty support for assemblyman from the 73rd District.
BOB SCHULER OR KEYES—WHICH?
Rev. Bob Schuler, spokesman for the Ku Klux Klan, wants Keyes defeated because he appointed a Colored man in his office. The big question is, will you support Schuler or Keyes. We don't count Judge Sheldon in the premises at all, for whether Bob Schuler can dictate to him or not, if he won, it would be a great victory for the Klan.
Asa Keyes has demonstrated his worth. He stands absolutely for a square deal for all mankind.
He has demonstrated that he cannot stand for the petty prejudices of Rev. Bob Schuler from Texas, and therefore he is not and cannot, bow to the Ku Klux propaganda.
There is only one way for all peoples who stand for justice and the square deal to go and that road leads us to support and vote for Asa Keyes for District Attorney on next Tuesday.

NEGRO BUSINESS
The National Negro Business League is in session at Chicago. From it will emulate a great amount of discussions and many exhortations to patronize your own. At least this will be true of those Negro business men who have an exclusive Negro patronage. It is unbound, however, even from the business view point. If the leading white businesses in this country were to make an appeal to white people to patronize their own, every Negro publisher would rebuke such a practice.

The policy carried into effect would play havoc with many Negro enterprises. For instance, what would become of Hermann's barber alums in Atlanta? Miles Debris and Payton's shops in Richmond, Va.? George Myers' tonorial parlor of Durham, N.C.? The late lamented John Merrick's of Dur-
Ram, N. C..
The show business is another case in point. In New York, 'Shuffle Along' remained on Broadway nearly two years. 'Runnin' Wild', stayed there nearly a year. Why? If each one had played merely to the Negro public of New York, they would have lasted not over three weeks. But the fact that these shows catered to the six million people of all nationalities and races in New York explains their long run. They did not limit this clientele to Negroes only.
Negroes should take a lesson from the foregoing illustrations and more and more cater to the general public. Both the Japanese and the Jews are masters of the game. Jews and Japanese would not be very wealthy if they catered only to the four and a half million Jews or the hundred thousand Japanese in the nation. Numerically Negroes are in a better position yet since white businesses go out for the ten millions Negroes' logic would dictate that if the whites attempt to get the trade of one-tenr the country's population, then Negroes cannot spurn or neglect the ninety million whites or nine-tenths the population.
JOHN W. DAVIS

John W. Davis has had extraordinary opportunities to identify himself with the forces of righteousness and to allow himself to be spent for the attainment of decent opportunities and working conditions for the laboring classes of the United States.
But he has sneered at these and chose in lieu an intimately secretive and, therefore, dangerous, an association with the Wall Street bankers. Upon his return from Europe, after servin as American ambassador to Great Britain, instead of embracing the opportunity to serve the nation as a disinterested and impartial legal exponent, he allowed himself to fall into the hands of the interlocking directorates of Wall Street—to be spent by them for their own ignoble and petty plans and for the perpetuation of the present industrial order from which men are now suffering in untold millions.

They are big institutions, and I am pleased to work for them. Big Business has made this country what it is. We Want Big Business."
This remark explains fully Mr. Davis's attitude toward big business concerns. It is only logical to infer that his attitude toward the necessary social adjustments and economic adjustments which we are trying to execute is one of implacable obduracy and indifference.
His election to the Presidency can only serve to strengthen and intensify the power of private monopoly in American industry.
His election to the Presidency can therefore only bring about a greater concentration of wealth and economic power.
We ask Mr. Davis if it is fair that one tenth of the people of the United States should control nine-enthhs of the wealth. This is a fair question, but one that we imagine, Mr. Davis answering in the same spirit of nonchalance that Mr. Morgan once answered a question put-to him during the Pujo investigation. "Do you consider ten dollars a week enough for a longshoreman with a family to support?" Mr. Morgan was asked. "If that's all he can get, and he takes it, I should say it's enough", was his pert reply.
The attitude of Mr. Davis and that of Mr. Morgan are similar. The one the worshipper of god Mammon; the other the god Mammon himself. They are essentially men who are consciously blind to the squailor in which their fellowmen are living.
There are 12,000,000 Negroes in America. This population is greater than that of Belgium, Holland or Switzerland. These Negroes receive higher wager, on the whole, than the Belgian, Dutch and Swiss workers. That the Negroes lag behind similar groups of people is due very largely to their lack of intelligent organization. They produce as much as any of the above mentioned nationalities; in fact, they produce more but the Negroes don't get so large a share of what they produce. They are not highly organized economically so they are robbed on the industrial field. Politically the Negro has been a misnomer because he was too satisfied. He has been advertised as extremely happy-go-lucky all the time, a patient, prodding, acclimated person. In very truth, he has been too contented. Discontent is the inevitable avenue to social progress; discontent drives, moves, stimulates; contentment lulls into a sense of false security. It is a basis of lethargy, apathy, indifference. For a hilt century Negro orators and white in addressing a Negro audience, have almost invariably stated that within the last century. Negroes have made more progress than any race on the face of the globe. The result of this praise was to check Negro progress. If one thought he was so for ahead his inclination would be to slow up and rest.
The migration from the south to the north has placed in the Negroes hands a new political and economic power. Just how he will use them one dares not phophecy. Yet if he should use both these types of power intelligently and wisely the effect would be that of awakening a sleeping giant.

In carrying the convention of the N. A. A. C.P. to Philadelphia, Mr. DuBois has again selected a poetic surrounding in which to devise means for the future functioning of that august body of rebellious gentlemen.
DuBois loves poetic surroundings, and glorifies in his chance associations with those who are not uncelebrated in the white world. Such a man, it is at once apparent, is more inclined to be swayed by his passions and his prejudices than by his reason. It is certainly not our object to assail his artistic temperament, for such temperaments are needed in this world where Truth and Beauty are too frequently kept in the background of a gross materialism, but it is by this very fact that DuBois has fallen short of impressing the Negro people of America with any unusual qualities of leadership. Such a conclusion is inevitable after one has fath fully followed the Harvard savant through his writings and maneuvers about the world and has not received any clear assurance of sincerity on his part in accomplishing the objects for which, he reiterates, the N. A. A. C. P. was founded. Hchas had his detractors. God knows that he has had them! But we are no tof them, for we think it essentially undignified to assail a man who means well but who has difficulty in impressing this fact forcibly upon his fellowmen. Enigmatic! Is the what you cal lit. Well, so let is be. But our position I svet tenable if we aver that DuBois chief function is not to strike openly at the restraints which kind and shatter our hopes and highest ideals, but is to express our prevances, with considerable self-restraint, in nice English. That is all.
Artist-Teacher Has Unique Showing WORK OF CHILDREN AP PROACHES THAT OF PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS
THE BROOKLYN EAGLE
That there is more latent talent in Negro children than might be expected by the casual observer is the impression one takes away after seeing the drawings and sketches exhibited by Mrs. W. B. Stovall, supervisor of Art in the public schools of Fort Worth, Texas.
In perspective, coloring, unty of detail, conception and execution, the drawings approach very near the work of professional students and artists. This writer, was amazed as one drawing after another was set before him for critical examination. Bue when it was learned that the work was that of grammar students, ranging in age from 16 to 18, was incredible. One sketch called "Crossing The Bar" has been deftly done. It is inscribed with the lines of the famous poem of "Tennyson and other decorations. The remainder of the work comprises drawings, paintings and sketches of various kinds.
Mrs. Stovall is studying in the summer school of the University of Southern California, where she is taking several courses in the history and technique of art. She is the wife of a prominent pharmacist of Fort Worth Texas, and will leave the city about September 1st to resume her work.
Prominent Dentist To Address Junior N.A.A.C.P.
MEETING SUNDAY. AT IN
DEPENDENT CHURCH
3:30 P. M.
The Young People's Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which assembles in its regular monthly meeting at the Independent Church, Sunday afternoon at 3:30 P. M., will be adressed by Dr. Claude G. Hudson, a prominent dentist and one of the most public-spirited citizens in South ern California. Dr. Hudson, who is well known for his community service in other parts of the country, has inspired, it is said, the confidence of so many influential groups in the city that he is in popular demand. He will address the young people in Sunday's meeting upon current topics affecting the interests of the race. He is a graduate of Howard University and a graduate member of Lambda Chapter of the Omega Phi Fraternity.
CHARLES SATCHELL MORRIS, JR AT UNIVERSITY METHODIST CHURCH
"The Caucasian people of the United State as well as of the world frequently suggest to the black man with derision that he can have no grand part in the sunshine of our fairer civilization because he submitted himself to the Stygian blackness of American slavery. But, ladies and gentlemen, I recall the fact that a certain group of people languaged in the slave pen of Rome for five centuries. I am not the eloquent and cultivated Cicero in*passing down the street on one occasion looked upon the Angles as they were called and...exclaimed, "Those stupid Britons...are not even fit to be slaves." No one ever accused my race...of...being...poor slaves. It was universally admitted that we discharged our menial dutile well. "The white man has had fourteen hundred years to advance since great Cicero uttered his memorable words, and since then...describes antics to the condemned man...he filled and the purple cloak of power. No race that cannot withstand the hardships and the rigors of slavery can enjoy the blessings and the emoluments of freedom.
...The taciturn and reticent. Indian could not be made a menial, and today the red man is falling away like withered leaves before the . . . chilling blasts of Autumn. For you confront us with the fact that we have been slaves is bad logic and worse common sense. Our period was for two and a half centuries, while you was for twice that length of time. of the world, distrust not your black brothers; barren not your company of the world, look back in the effulgent sunshine of democracy; and we will make good or report to God the reason why. So declared Charles Satchel Morris, Jr, of Norfolk, Virginia, the . . . famous youthful orator in an . . . address last Sunday evening in the . . . University Methodist Church (white) before a
vast concourse of thousand people. The point went home and Morris won new friends for his cause. Dr. Walter Morton, dean of the University of Southern California preached at the epocal会议. Several of the professors of the University were present. Musical selections were furnished a great combined chorus of one hundred verses. The metropolitan Quartette also regaled the sing, with spirituals and classic melodies. The eloquent appeal of the speaker for inter-racial good-will coupled with the song-fest made a firm impression upon the members of the other race.
Young Morris will address monster meetings in Bakersfield next Sunday and Monday. Tuesday he is scheduled to speak at Riverside. Wednesday night he will speak in the Zion Hill Baptist Church on 22nd street for a friend, Rev. Dr. J. H. Holder, while Morgan goes on him at the Methodist Episcopal Church (up) on Thursday evening. Friday night he will appear before another audience of Los Angeles white people. Invitations are reaching the noted orator from practically every section of the country urging him to speak.
CHANDLER OWEN PLEASES BIG AUDIENCE TO THE UTMOST
Last Monday evening, Chandler Owen, brilliant editor of the Messenger, brought to Los Angeles his lecture. It was well received and he held to the utmost attention its audience for quite two hours of its delivery.
The subject, "Why a man should sell his vote", was unique and in a clever and entertaining manner he brought the subject home to his nearers.
His analysis of things political was especially interesting and evoked the greatest interest in a later date it is our purpose to write upon this phase and will take up the deductions set forth by Mr. Owens.
TITUS ALEXANDER GOES
BIG IN THE EAST
Titus Alexander, well known colored citizen and one of the National Democratic leaders returned to the city last week from an extended trip East.
Mr. Alexander was a delegate to the National Negro Democratic Convention at New York and was elected Chairman of the Executive Committee.
He also attended the National Democratic Convention, where he was signally honored by the Convention by being appointed Sergeant-At-Arms to the important committee on Resolution and Platform. Being the first member of his race to have ever been appointed to this position.
In speaking of his trip he said: While I was a staunch and militant booster for McAdoo and was keenly disappointed that he was not nominated, as was all of us from California, the nominee, John W. Davis is pleasingly acceptable to me and I think he be elected on his record. From coast to coast, the gro leaders who are openly asserting their independence and advocating publicly MEN and MEASURES as against-Party affiliation. The Negro Press is especially gratifying.
"I believe the Negro as a whole will support the Democratic ticket this year, because the nominee can be depended upon to uphold and defend the constitution.
"The State of July 2017 prints the follow letter from a prominent colored lawyer of Washington, D. C. James, Cobb: "To the ditor of the World:
May I not at the onset say that I am a Colored man and a Republican, probably too old to change. However, I want to say that the Democratic Party in nominating John W. Davis has nominated a man whom the Negroes of this country may support on the ballot. I believe that of the party names, I believe that Mr. Davis can be depended upon to uphold and defend the Constitution. Nothing more or less is desired by the Colored people, of this country.
"I have noted in the metropolitan press from time to time the fact that Mr. Davis during his career defended such persons as "Mother" Jones and Eugene Debs—the purpose of which is to show that Mr. Davis' sympathies are not with the corporate interests of the country but reach out and include the people as a whole. To my way of thinking, one of the most important cases that Mr. Davis argued before the supreme Court of the United States is not mentioned, and that is the case of Frank Guinn and J. J. Beall vs. the United States, 238 U. S. 347. The case involved civil rights—Negro Suffrage—the Grand father clause. In other words, it involved the constitutionality of the Grandfather Clause as adopted by the State of Nicaragua. Solicitor General Davis, in behalf of the Supreme Court, vened, filed a brief and orally argued the case. Moorfield Story of Massachusetts intervened on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and filed a brief. Joseph W. Bailley represented Guinn and Beall and the State of Nicaragua. Chief Justice White delivered the opinion of the Court and held that the act, popularly known as the Grandfather Clause, unconstitutional.
"On page 23 of Mr. Davis' brief in the Guinn case he spoke as follows: "In practical operation, therefore, the amendment inevitably discriminates between the class of illiterate whites and illiterate blacks as a class, to the overwhelming and well-nigh universal disadvantage of the latter. By the light of this illuminating fact the purpose and intent of the law become plainly visible—a purpose and intent that stand condemned at the bar of the Federal Constitution. But in emphasizing this position we must not for a moment lend color to the thought that the vice of the law consists solely in the multitude of those adversely affected by it. The protection of the Constitution was extended to an entire race—to all races—it is true, but
it is extended just as much to the humble member of that race. Each single individual in it, if a citizen of the United States, is assured that FOUR neither the United States, nor any State shall deny or abridge his right to vote on account of race, color or previous condition of service; and any of the states, no matter from how high a source it comes or how adroitly its purpose may be hidden, is invalid and void though he alone be reached by it. To sustain the validity of a suffrage amendment such as the present it must appear not that under certain conditions some of every race may be admitted to the suffrage but that under no condition will any member of any race be excluded for racial reasons. In each and every situation and syllabus as well as in phrase, in fulfilment as well as in promise, the races must stand side by side."
This to my mind, is more important than either the Debs or "Mother Jones case, for it it shows clearly how Mr. Davis stands with respect to the Constitution of the United States; and I repeat that the Colored man is in a position for the first time in the history of this country that he can make up his mind to fight for men and measures, irrespective of the names Republican or Democrat." Mr. Davis said to me a few weeks ago in New York in speaking of this case: "After the argument a prominent Senator said to me, 'If I had known that you were that kind of lawyer you would never have been confirmed.'"
Mr. Henry, Editor Philadelphia Tribune, returned to Gov. Pinchot his Commission as State Boxing Commissioner for Pennsylvania with this comment, "John W. Davis, my life long friend, has just been nominated for President by the Democratic Convention. I am going to campaign for him. I am going to help elect him."
Fred. R. Moore, ditor of the New York Age, June 28, under the caption: "Political Management," says: "Unless they (Afro-Americans) have some guarantee that the basic principles of Republicanism will be lived up to in the future, they can see no reason for preferring a Republican to a Democratic Administration." A publican administrator fears to appoint a Negro as Minister to Haiti because the affairs of that country are run by the American Financial Agent and the marines, as stated by an influential Republican in Washington, why worry about the sins of Democracy? These are questions the Negro voters are asking.
Hon James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Adancement of Colored People, in the Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia, June 30th, said: "The most imminent question before the American Negro at the present time is that of his political responsibilities and opportunities. The single political issue before him is that of the Ku Klux Klan. Colored Americans should not be killed into a feeling of security by the fact that the Klan is seemingly no longer anti-Negro. The Klan is as much anti-Negro now as it was the day it was organized. At present it is not spending much time in tarring and feathering or branding or mobbing individual Negroes. It is devoting its energies to a bigger job, the job of gaining political power, of gaining control of government. When it has done this, if it succeeds, it will again turn its attention to the Negro and it will increase its policies not upon the individual but upon the whole as a whole." "If the Klan gain the power which it contemplates it will at once begin to take from the Negro his guarantees and even his claims to the common rights of citizenship. This is one of ots deepest laid plans. It is therefore the duty of every Negro citizen in the states—where the Klan is an issue and where the votes of the Negro count are counted, to discard sentimental political allegiance to any party and vote against candidate named and supported and endates who are named and supported and endorsed by the Klan".
"The situation in Indiana is a case in poin. There the Republican pominee for Governor has the open endorsement of the Klan, an endorsement which he fully accepted. In that State the Republican United States Senator, James E. Watson, who stands high in Administration circles openly confers and consents with Klan leaders. It has been left for the Democritus, a state to decompose and disavow the Klan. It is therefore the plain duty of all Colorred voters in Indiana to vote against the Republican candidate for Governor and against every other Republican candidate in that state".

SECOND HUNDRED MILE AUTO RACE TO BE RUN IN CHICAGO
Encouraged by the success achieved by the promoters of the Indianapolis derby, the Colored Auto Racing association is staging a 100 mile race at Hawthorne track on Sunday, September 14th. Hawthorne is well known one mile track built for horse racing but has been the scene of many auto and motorcycle races.
Clarence Williams of Pontiac, Mich. has entered two racing cars in the first Chicago 100-mile automobile derby and his entries followed closely on the heels of Buford, the Chicago driver, who was first to send in his entry. The race which is to be pulled off on September 14, a Sunday, is expected to draw a record-breaking crowd. Hannon, winner of the Indianapolis race, has written that he will enter and drive the Barber-Warnock Ford special. Jefferies, Chicago bondsman, will pilot a car, the make of which he will not announce at present. Jeff is a bit disappointed with the showing he made in Indianapolis.
William Bottoms, president of the Colored Auto Racing association may enter a car, the same Dusenberg driven by Ernest Stevens in the Hoosier derby. J. A. Jackson is tuning up his Dover special, and it is likely that Russell will enter his Reo special which was flagged out of the Indianapolis race after the parade around the track owing to engine troubles. Clifford Stark's Marmon is also an expected starter.
The trials will be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Hawthorne track, 3501 S. 52nd Ave., Cicero, a Chichago suburb. They will last from 1 to 5 each day. The final race on Sept. 14 will start at 2:30.
The first prize, a silver loving cup and $1,500 will go to the winner. Second place money is $600. Third place, $500, and fourth, $150. In case of a tie duplicate prizes will be awarded. Another feature is the added attraction of a 10-mile sprint race to the six fastest cars qualifying. This will precede the big event Fifteen fastest cars qualifying will face the starter in the final event of the day and the big sport event of the season.
The track is a mile dirt track. Bottoms, to make the race a peppery one from the start, has added $300 which will be given to the drivers of care winning the first six laps. To make it clearer, the winner of the first mile gets $50, the second mile $50, or in other words, the driver of the car that flashes by the judges' stand first at the end of the mil ewins $50. This is good for six miles and will bring on some keen competition. Duplicate prizes will be given in case of a tie.
St. Louis Stars Win Three Out Of Five From The Memphis Red Sox
Sam Crawford, New Local Slabman, Pitches Wining Ball. Davis Also is Good Form
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 15—The St. Louis Stars won the series from the Memphis Red Sox three games to two. The Stars, with Crawford on the mound, went over in th opening game on Saturday 6 to 2. They dropped Sunday's game 4 to 3 with Meyers and Davis hurling. After Monday's game was postponed the Red Sox came back and defeated the Stars 3 to 0 with Roes pitching. Solowon held the Stars to two hits in this game. On Wednesday the Stars evened the series when Davis pitched them to a 4 to 2 victory. The Stars took the odd game on Thursday by a 7 to 6 score. Crawford rescued Bell when the latter blow up in the sixth inning.
MY EXPERIENCE AS A MANAGER
"Last week I wrote about indifferent players, but this week I'm going off the diamond and talk about owners as well as players. s
First I will say that few owners know how to conduct a baseball club and treat baseball players and I am speaking about owners here in California. How often have you seen an owner strut out to the playing field during the playing of a game and give some supposedly important instructions to his captain or players. And how many times have you heard the knowing fan remark, "That Negro wants to show who is the boss". The above has happened to me or my playing mates time and time again during my several years of playing in and around Los Angeles. I am quite sure that you know that I am telling the truth. You will no doubt agree with me that the owner's place is at the gate or box office. I believe the owner should consult with his manager or captain before or after the game unless extreme emergency arises.
- Lonnie Goodwin Ideal
Hats' off to Lonnie Goodwin. He is to my mind the smartest manager I have ever come in contact with and that is saying a lot.
I know that some of you would like to know why Lon is my choice as a great manager. First he lets a player work his own way so long as he is getting good results. Next he knows how to get everything out of his players and keep harmony among them. He makes them think and imbues the confidence in them that they can beat any club in the world.
The Pan
"The fan is a boyant creature who frowns at disappointment and failure but the same trown speedily becomes a wide, bland smile when victory arrives. We all like a winner that is true."
Back To The Player
Now back to the player. There is a deep-rooted tendency in the human mind toward hero worship. The player who does something unusual is sure of an admiring audience. Nor does it altogether depend on what that achievement may be.
The player who can excel in the field can depend upon elaborate press notices, popular applause, and all the benefits of brilliant but fickle fame.
We have some players here who are now basking in the bright light of the public's worshiping eye. I could call the players' names, but I won't.
I say to these players tho, "Keep up the good work, every fan appreciates what you are doing and I hope to see you at the top of the ladder some day".
Good luck, best wishes.
Bob Fagan.

K.C. Monarchs Win Two
From Birmingham
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 11.—The Kansas City Monarchs won two hard games from the Birmingham Black Barons. The Monarchs narrowly escaped with victory in the opening game Saturday, winning 6 to 3. With the tying run on the bases in the ninth inning, a fast double play, Rogan to Duncan to Hawkins saved the day for the home club.
Rogan, who was on the mound for the Monarchs, was steadily throughout the contest, bobbles by his mates at crucial times proying costly, while the same handicap was suffered by Polnderter, who was on the firing line for the visitors.
Allen's home run to the center field fence in the third proved the feature of the game. In the fourth inning "Heavy" Johnson was hit in the head by a pitched ball and was carried from the field.

After trouncing the Birmingham Black Barons in the first game, 7 to 6, in ten innings, the Monarchs were denied further opportunity for victory before a crowd of seven thousand fans, the aftermath being called on account of darkness.
Never have the Monarchs been forced to battle at home this season as they did Sunday to win. The visitors were the aggressors most of the time. W. Bell being knocked from the mound and relieved by Drake, who held the Birmingham club fairly well in check most of the time. In the seventh inning the Monarchs counted four runs, but the visitors came right back in the next inning and again forged into the lead. Rogan's single to center in the tenth started a rally which won for the Monarchs.

New York, August 16.—The Epiphon Chapter of the Omega Pui PhF Praternity staged a brilliant reception for America's connecring heroes, DeHart Hubbard and Charles West just arrived from the Olympic games in France.
Only DeHart Hubbard and Charles West were able to be present. Earl Johnson and Hubbard attended a reception in Baltimore on Friday night and Johnson did not return to the city, while E. O. Gourdin left on Thursday for his home in Dorchester, Mass. All of the colored members of the team will return to the city for the National A. A. U. championship meet to be held at Colgate Field, West Orange, N. J., on September 5, 6, and 7.
Hubbard and West were given an enthusiastic welcome by a select crowd of young people and both expressed their appreciation for the welcome, extended them. They were introduced to the audience by Fred D Johnson, basilies of the fraternity and were called upon for a few remarks.
West told of the welcome given the Colored athletes by the French people and the fair treatment they received from their teammates. He paid a tribute to Earl Johnson for his splendid race in the cross country event, which occurred on such a hot day that fifteen participants fainted. Johnson finished third to Nurmi and Ritoko whom West characterized as the great
After thanking those present for the reception given them, Hubbard said that he hoped their achievements would be an inspiration to younger athletes of the race so that at the next Olympiad they would be six or eight colored members of the American team instead of four, as was the case this year.
Chicago. Aug. 13. The Detroit Stars won Sunday's contest from the American Giants. 6 to 5, by outhitting Foster's crew and then lost Thursday's game 5 to 4, although outhitting the local club again. Saturday's game was postponed because the outfield was a lake after the severe storm of Friday and Monday's game was halted before the Giants could get their turn at the bat in the first inning, and the heavy downpour left the infield in such a condition that it was impossible to continue the play, although the sun came out a half hour after the rain subsided.

Estridge Victor: Gans Still Hopes
New York City, Aug 20—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Larry Estridge ungrim whipped Panama Joe Gans last Monday night in a ten round beat at the Queenboro Stadium in Long Island City. Estridge's win was not as convincing this time as was his first one over Gans in which he won the mythical "Negro Middleweight Championship" at the Milk Fund Bouts in June. There are some who insist that if the men come together for a third encounter Gans will whip Estridge because his heart is bigger and he can take more punishment than the younger man.

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 19.—(By the Associated. Negro Press) While the clubs haven't changed positions in the Eastern Colored League, the race for honors has taken on a much belated interest. Hildale didn't accomplish much during the past week although she still leads the league. The Bacharach Giants took two out of three from her and the Brooklyn Royal Giants divided their pair. The Lincoln Giants are strutting their stuff at the present time and will make things hot for the Hildale club. A glance at the standing between Hildale and the Lincoln Giants is one of the causes of the belated interest. Four of the clubs are over the .500 mark, one hangs on and the other three are considered out of the running. The standing of the clubs:
Owner Frank Kerwin will bring his famous Glendale White Sox, under the leadership of Carl Sawyer, to Goodyear Park, Sunday for a game that practically involves the semi-pro championship of Southern California.
The Glendale Club comes to Goodyear Park with a record of 26 games won of 27 played. ...Glendale's winning streak ran for 25 consecutive games and lost to the Air Fleet Nine by a 4 to 2 score, three Sundays back.
Manager Carl Sawyer, former big league player and comedian is pointing his club to another winning streak claims, but the All Stars are quietly planning to throw a monkey wrench in Sawyer's plans.
Elmer Retger who has just been offered a position with Vernon will no doubt take the mound against the All Stars and the All Stars will send in their heaviest hitters to try and pound out a victory off the former coast leaguer's slants.
