STOKES AT REST 1930 DR. A. J. STOKES, NOTED DIVINE, ANSWERS FINAL ROLL Friday evening, at the hour of ten forty-five, Dr. Andrew Jackson Stokes, "Friend to Jesus" and "Lover of his People" divested himself of the fathers of mortality and at the call of the Savlour answered, "Take me Jesus, I have done what I could for our people" and was in that same minute, absent from the body and present with the Lord. The death of this National character came as a mighty shock to the thousands that knew and loved him. Werever New Testament known so is the name of A. J. Stokes known. A treasurer of the National Baptist Convention for thirty-four years and pastor of one church, the First Baptist Church of Montgomery, Alabama for thirty-five years, his reputation is well established. Although he had pastored the Mt. Zion Baptist Church of this city only three months, the influence he has brought to bear not only on this church and people but on the entire ministry is stupendous. Tuesday afternoon, the hundreds of persons that crowded the doorways and steps in attendance of the fineral was a testimony as well as the accolades he wished to be together with friends of other denominations as to his worthiness as "Friend," "Pastor" and "Father." The bereaved church lifted up its voice and went. A mighty man of God, whose whole life has been devoted to service of Kingdom building, has left many monuments to the glory of God. The following churches he started in South Carolina: Ebenezer, Orangeburg county; Black Jack, Winnsboro; Rock Hill, Fairfield; Mt. Olive, Orangeburg; Savannah, Vollfington county; Hickory Grove, Greenville; Swan Valley, Brownsville; Three churches he started and rebuilt the First Baptist at a cost of sixty-five thousand dollars. He built and presided over the Montgomery Baptist institute and has been editor of several Baptist Journals at various periods in his life. Not only do these material monuments stand and attest to his activity but more than thirty-two thousand, three hundred souls have been freed from the damnation of sin under his preachings. He lives in the hearts of the black folk in Alabama as their brothers in the army, whose bullet wounds in his body from having stood in their defence against mob violence. Their cause was ever on his heart and his last words to the Baptist Association here was a plea to them not to forget their brothers and sisters in the southland. Yes, he was a lover of his people. CLUB WOMEN MEET AT CHICAGO Greatest Meeting Ever Held By Our Club Women At Chicago. California Had Fourteen Delegates The 14th Biennial of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs held at Chicago, August 3-8th inclusive, proved to be one of the largest and most progressive ever held. There were 845 accredited delegates and hundreds of visitors, male as well as female. Wendell Phillips High School was the meeting place and was filled to overflowing every session. Forty states were represented, also Canada. The results of this meeting will be felt in every state represented as the delegates were full of the inspiration gained by listening to the wonderful reports from the different delegates and speakers, one could hardly beieve that the women of our race have and are accomplishing so much. Education seemed to be the principal theme of the convention. Now that we have paid off the debt and restored the Douglas Home and provisions the have been made by the Association for the upkeep, work and education of our south of than education for our south and those who are striving to reach the top in their chosen profession? The thought was born in the mind of our retiring president, Miss Hallie Q. Brown, to raise a scholarship fund of $50,000. It is not hard to imagine what wonderful good will be accomplished for the race fro mth effort. Already 2,000 dollars have been subscribed and paid in, that is $1612.15 in cast, and 4964.00 subscribed to that to my mind is a wonderful start. Ohio, the home of Miss Brown brought in ...2000 and Illinois $1107. Miss Brown raised $1000 from her lecture tour last winter in California, and gave a goodly portion of that amount. Two beautiful silver loving cups were awarded the wining states. Michigan also came in for honors, having 63 delegates. Nates awarded by the Yale University Cooker were captivated Michigan for bringing in the largest number of new subscribers. Mrs. Cora Runney of Ann Arbor, a lovely gold pin. The different states were very enthusiastic over raising money for the scholarship fund especially Kansas City, Kansas, which raised ...568.10 and Kansas City, Mo., which raised 570.00. Cue a rivalry existed by getting money from friends in the audience, but when Illinois came up with $1033 and Ohio with $2407 they gave up the fight. I love to see that state pride, which I am sorry to say is somewhat lacking in allfirms in that they do not boost their own women as they should. Mrs. Winters, chairman of Mays and Means, gave two medals of gold to the states that brought most money for Ways and Means. Calif. had 14 delegates, a fine showing and gave $127.00 to the scholarship fund. We would have had at least $500.00 for Miss Brown. Take a lesson from Ohio, they brought all the money to the Federation and their state got the credit. The Australian ballot was used for the first time and a appointing committee appointed. Improvement will be made by the next meeting in handling the election by having a larger force and more booths, I am sure. nothing dragged as there were prominent speakers and reports of the different committee women were made all during the election. Mrs. Stokes of the Social Welfare department made a wonderful report on the social work of Virginia. Mrs. Bolling, chairman of Business, a blind woman, gave a wonderful survey of the Business Women of the country of large. It was really strange to hear a blind woman talk with such authority on business and what our women have (Continued on Page Four) In the recent death of Traffic officer Corey the traffic department lost a valuable and efficient officer. For the past year,he has been located at the corner of Seventh and Central, one of the busiest corners in the city. His ability to keep things moving, coupled with his courteous manner in handling violators won him many warm friends and stamped him a favorite amongst all classes. He recently covered himself with glory when he singlehanded captured the bandit who held up the Pacific Southwest Bank at Seventh and Central. His loss is a heavy blow that only time can eradicate. KELLY MILLER Marcus Garvey would paint God in his own image. Even the black man turns from the suggestion with a feeling of revulsion and disgust. We have been so long accustomed to regarding God as white that we have identified his visage with his essence. Any change in accustomed color implies alteration in character. In all of the religious schemes of the wrold, the Gods create me nin their own image and in their own likeness. Man, in his turn, fashion his God after his own physical smilitude. Alexander. Pope tells us that "an honest man's the noblest work of God". Robert Ingersol, with blasphemic abruptness, retorts, that "an honest God is the noblest work of man". All nations, races and peoples have been anthropomorphic: A collection of idols and graven images of all ages and we would make an intercession and constructive museum. The skillets of the different peoples and races would be found to possess the physical idiosyncrasy of those who fashion them. Some would be white, some yellow, some red, some brown and some black. No other conclusion is conceivable. The human mind is ever prone to fashion its highest conception after its own physical model. Man is by nature idolatrous. He bows down and worships before images of wood and stone. This is most especially true of concrete minded races and nations. It is too great a tax to focus the emotions on an abstract idea. The spirit we worship must manifest itself in outward embodiment. It must have eyes and ears to hear and to see to be looked at, and all has been said to have done. Idolatry is only personified selfishness. Our God must have our own color and facial features, must speak our vernacular and typify our moral and social aim. A universal religion must make the universal appeal, and must rise above and transcend the incidents of race, color, language, age or clime. The Anatheistic, the European, the African, in the fullness of self-consciousness, will not accept a religion whose carnal peculiarities are built on an alien patron. The Hebrew Christian religion has the fundamental requirement of universality. In its essential character and quality, it is all but completely detached from the incidents and race and race and race. Idolatry forges forbids racial worship by prohibiting idolatry. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or likeness; thou shalt not bow down thy spirit to them nor serve them." This commandment saves Hebrew from idolatry, frees it from narrow racial isolation, and raises it to the highest reaches of the yearnings of the human spirit for all peoples and for all times. There was and is constant apothecy from the While thousands hear of our struggling, earnestly struggling center, and forget quite frequently its existence, those who still keep before them a vision stay on and fight. Fighting, in a sense, is necessary; not antagonism, however, but a fight for principles and justice. We cannot make the fight alone! We are too few in number and consequently too limited in finance to make the uphill grade alone. And so with that confidence as necessary to success in any venture, we have gone forth making our appeal. Yes, we have made an appeal! We will continue to do so. Not appealing as a mangle cur for a bone from a superior belts, but as one intelligent body of people to countenance intelligent bodies of people. Those who stay here—and they stay at a sacrifice in more than one sense—have a perfect right to, and do expect the cooperation and good wishes of a sympathetic race, their own race. Therefore, this last year we have incorporated our energies to put over a gigantic program. It is imperative that we have a vision and keep it in view. Won't you, reading public, help us to realize our ideal and idealize the real? A meeting was held at the school house Sunday, at which time and place, Allensworth's needs were discussed. Mr. Freeman, visiting from Fresno, spoke on race progress and love. His talk necessarily was concise, yet he got over some big truths. We are glad that someone loved the race enough to take the stand he took. His friendship promises permanence too. Rev. Williams spoke briefly on public spirit. He spoke frankly and unreservedly on this topic and all were vitally interested. Mr. Dotson, an ex-citizen and now of Fresno, was present and spoke of his pleasure at the strides made during his school years. His words of encouragement were greatly appreciated. Mrs. Humphrey, the new school teacher, spoke on the absolute necessity of unswerving determination to attain to the heights to which we aspire. Mrs. Humphrey has the spirit of a true pioneer and citizen and is highly respected by the community with which she has cast hir lot. Mrs. Mary Mobely, Mr. S. Dunlap and Mr. R. D., Metaxa were others who made timely remarks. His social society, doing wonderfully well, a Y. W. C. A.; a Ladies' Progressive Society; a Chamber of Commerce and a Helping Hand Club. The Helping Hard Club membership is steadily mounting and no one is barred on account of age or locality. The purpose of this club is to aid and further any good cause or any movement, progressive. The only obligation involved in joining this club is the monthly payment of 10 cents. This amount stays in the treasury until it is needed and there are always places to spend these dimes profitably. Mrs. Dedigley of Berkeley has been appointed the branch of the club in her city and we earnestly hope she will have the good will and backing of her friends and not her friends only but Friends of the entire race. Surely Allenworth is not standing still. And if we are crawling, won't you please hold before us something to entice us an incentive to walk? Is Allenworth standing still? "The Ku Klux Klan was conceived in the diabolical brain of Satan, born in hell and nursed in an environment of vice and crime. It has outlawed law, defied order and outraged democracy," declared Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., famous orator before a mammoth audience in the First Baptist Church (white) in San Diego last Monday night. The vast crowd composed largely of members of the other race gave the spokesman a tremendous ovation. Introduced by the Rev, Dr. Lincoln A. Ferris (white), a celebrated pastor of the First Methodist Church as one of the "most distinguished and effective speakers in this Republic," Morris made an eloquent appeal for inter-racial good will and justice. His defencluation of the Ku Klux Klan, one of the most bitter and impassioned ever heard from the lips or a black man brought the throne to its feet in a veritable burst of applause. Sunday afternoon hundreds filed their way into the First Methodist Church, the same city to hear the Negro orator, Morris in auditors that this is not an independent world, but an inter-dependent world, that what affects one group affects all groups, Morris presented a message dealing with the philosophy of human association. The record-breaking crowd which greeted him on the next evening was the city's testimonial of its appreciation of his brilliant efforts. Monroeia, citizens of both races assembled in the First Methodist Church (white) to hear the "spokeman last Thursday evening. Rev. Dr. Small, pastor of the First Christian Church was the Master of Ceremonies for the event. "That was the most eloquent speech which I have ever heard fall from the lips or a member of your race," he asserted. Repeating his attack on the Ku Klux Klan by declaring that the black man was one hundred per cent American in sympathies some organizations to the contrary notwithstanding, Morris stirred a white audience from the platform of the commodious abolitionist Auditorium at Long Beach on Tuesday evening. Five monster chorus of one hundred voices under the direction of Prof. Claude V. Pitts rendered old plantation melodies, jubilees and classics. No other group of Negroes has ever appeared in the auditorium. The affair was looked upon as a distinct triumph not only for the members of the Negro race, but for the entire Colored people of this community. On Thursday night of next week, September 11th, young Morris will speak in the City Auditorium at San Bernardino on the subject "The Measure of the Man." Mr. W. S. Johnson and J. G. Hamilton, leading colored citizens, by the Chamber of Commerce and other prominent organizations are planning to give the emancipation of the man. The orator's visit to California has been under the direction of J. B. Bass of the California Eagle at Los Angeles. Owing to the pressure of invitation reaching him Morris will spend an period in the State yet. He will depart the last of next week for the North. It is also understood that he will visit Oregon and Washington while in the far West. WANTED: Man and wife at once. Custodian, Lakeshore Beach. Woman to be good cook. Man must be handy with tools.

McGILL, PROMINENT NEGRO LAWYER AT JACKSON VILLE, FLORIDA, WINS $20,000.00 SUIT AT LAW OVER PROMINENT WHITE LAWYER WHO EXACTED THAT AMOUNT FOR LEGAL SERVICE -LOWER COURT HELD FOR WHITE LAWYER, BUT SU PREME COURT SUSTAINED THE CONTENTION OF McGILLS. By: GEORGE E. TAYLOR Jacksonville, Florida, Aug. 29:—Because of the general importance of a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Florida, in which cause the contending parties on one side was a prominent white attorney and on the other side were Negroes, your correspondent elects to give the public the benefit of the facts in the case, which are in substance as follows: In June, 1919, A. W. Cockrell, Jr., a prominent white lawyer of this city, instituted suit against S. D. McGill, a prominent Negro lawyer of this city and his wife, to recover what he claimed to be a reasonable fee for legal services rendered in a previous suit. In fact, two suits were filed against the McGills, one on the Law side of the Court and one on the Chancery side. Each suit was for twenty thousand dollars. The original suit in which Attorney Cockrell was employed by the McGills involved certain estate holdings in Jacksonville, all owned by a hundred thousand dollars. The McGills refused to pay the fee charged, on the grounds that the amount was unreasonable, unjust and unfair. When the Chancery suit was heard before the Circuit Judge the Court's findings were in favor of the white Attorney, giving him a lien on all of the real estate held by the McGills and directing that same be sold to satisfy attorney Cockrell's claim of twenty thousand dollars, the fee claimed. Attorney McGill, being dissatisfied with the judgment of the Court, appealed the case and on April 7th, 1821, the Supreme Court dismissed the bill against the McGills on the ground that there was no equity in it. The case at Law was next heard by the lower court and the finding, like that of the case in Chancery, were in favor of Attorney Cockrell (white), for over fourteen thousand dollars including interest. From this judgment attorney McGill, promptly appealed to the Supreme Court of Florida, and the Supreme Court recently reversed the Circuit Judge, on the ground that the verdict was, excessive and unreasonable. The whole case has just been settled by the payment of five thousand dollars by the McGills, who offered the contenting white lawyer seven thousand five hundred dollars before he instituted the suit for twenty thousand dollars. NOVEL CD-INCIDENCE A noticeable feature of these cases brought by a white lawyer against the McGillis, is that the Judge before whom the cases were tried, made dozens of Orders before and after the trial of the cases, covering a period of over ten years, and every Order was directly against the Negro defendants (McGillis). On the other hand, every decision made by the Supreme Court of Florida was in favor of the McGillis. The legal advice that, "He who is his own lawyer has a fuel for a client" failed to apply to these cases, for attorney McGill was compelled to be his own lawyer because it was practically impossible if he and a reputable white lawyer in these parts who would (Continued on page Twenty) WANT MOUSER IN CONGRESS RACE Will Have Labor Backing in Tenth District Friends of Frank Mouser were discussing plans today of entering his name on the November ballot as an independent candidate for congress in the Tenth district. If he consents to run, petitions will be circulated next Tuesday and a vigorous campaign will be conducted in his behalf. Mouser, it is claimed, will have the unified support, and his platform will embrace many of the progressive measures for which he fought as a member of the state legislature. It is claimed that the full strength of the Criswell vote will be thrown back of Mouser and that in addition he will have a heavy support from his own persona. Only face that with the Labor-Progressive vote actually behind Mouser, and the conservative vote divided between Congressmen in Protruders, the Republican nominee, and Attorney Richard Schiff, the Democratic nominee. Mouser's chances of success will be very good. Moustache served in the state assembly for these questions and was an unsuccessful candidate for state senator at the recent primary. He was supported by labor and in the forthcoming contest it is claimed that he will have the backing of the LaFollette support as well. CARD OF THANKS To the East Side Independent League, The California Citizens Civic League, The Women's Community League of the 73rd Assembly District, The Baptist Ministers Alliance, the Interenominational Ministers Alliance, The Negro Press and especially The California Eagle, the Jewish Star and other religious organizations and friends: I desire to express to you my thanks and appreciation for the unqualified support you gave me on the 26th day of August, 1924 in my candidacy for Assemblwman from the 73rd Assembly district. The tabulation of the ballot shows the number of votes cast for each of the candidates: Davis 2505; Jennings 1166; Hagar 679; Browles 405; Edmonds 221. When you stop to consider the campaign of slander, it mitigation and muck-racing methods of my opponents, you really account for the majority of my votes, not only received the solid vote of his organization but the aid and support of the me-too-boss, hat-in-hand politicians. The fact that we received 1166 votes should strengthen and encourage us to get together, eliminate the slister influences within our group, double our energies and activities in the next election and strive for the election of a man that is free from prejudice against race, creed or color. Thanking you again for, your unstated and unqualified support, I am, Yours always, R. C. JENNINGS. PROMNENT DENTAL PROFESSOR A LOS ANGELES VISITOR Dr. R. H.

WORLD'S FASTEST DANCING SHOW HERE FOR ONE BIG WEEK There is a real thrill in seeing persons of our race featured in the headlines of the newspapers, in the big lights of a metropolitan theatre and in the star spots of a program, but it is seldom that we on the Pacific Coast have the opportunity to experience that thrill. Now comes "Steppin' High", a magnificent revue of all Race actors and actresses with a reputation of quality that has all of Los Angeles impatiently waiting for the opening night. Everywhere one goes the topic of conversation is "Steppin' High"! "Steppin' High"! What night are you going? Have you bought your ticket yet?

There are many who prefer being "first nighters" at every show and of course the seat sale for that night is very heavy, but due to the fact that Philharmonic is the largest auditorium in the city, there are available a few choice seats for those who get to the box office now. The engagement however is for one week and those who can not get out to the opening will be on hand later in the week. For those who are reading of "Steppin' High" for the first time a brief description of the show and personnel is in order. "Steppin' High" is a a Revue and is not encumbered with a long tiresome plot. The Revue is all action and is billed as the fastest dancing show on earth. Everybody in "Steppin' High" can move their feet and like the title the chorus girls kick high. Altho a dancing, show. "Steppin' ARS INVESTED IN SCENE FOR WESTERN TOUR High is long on singing of which Hazel Myers the Vocallan Record star does her share. Everybody sits up when Miss Myers turns loose that big voice. Then there is Miss Lonidas Simmons who can chipp with the best and also Amy Lofton. The comedy is well taken care of by "Dike" Thomas and "Strawberry" Russell and two other comedy teams including the "Three Black Aces". MARY RICHARD Mary Richard of "Struttin' Along" and "In Bamville" will be the cause of many coming to see "Steppin' High" a second and third time. There are many more who will be the talk of Los Angeles after Monday night's performance because the performance is not built around any one person. Every person in "Steppin' High" is needed for his' or her part and every one on the show has a reputation for doing their best. Can you wonder that "Steppin' High" is a great show? en Hill and Olive BEGINNING PTFMBER 8TH WINNER'----FR Central Ave., HUu GLENNIE CHEESEMAN MARY RICHARDS HAZEL MEYERS EANISTINE PORTER THE THREE BLACK ACES THOMAS RUSSELL STUDIO GOSSIP MONSTER SUBSCRIPTION CONTEST Hudson Sedan Given Away Absolutely Free! $3500 IN VALUABLE PRIZES PULSE OF THE STUDIOS (By Floyd Shackelford) UNIVERSAL STUDIO Sister Co.

They had kept the Passover, they had eateg the roasted lamb with bitter herbs, their staff in their hands and their sandals on their feet. They had borrowed the Egyptians silver and under the lead- ership of Moses and Aaaron they had come down to the sea, where they stand with mountaing lifting their jag- ged peaks to the sky, the hosts of Pharoah pursues after them and the! frightening waves of the sea rolls be- fore; when Jehovah commands Moses: “Speak to the children that they £0 forward.” ( Negro Baptists of America and the Isles of the Sea have flung out their banner. They had pronounced the faith, they have constructed their pro- gram, they have made their pledges, the die is cast. Militant Baptists in Chicago hav® prepared their tables and flung wide their doors. Preachers, teachers, men of the professions, bus! ness men, backed up by 2 constituen- cy of 200,000, guarantee you the grand- t reception ever given a religious fathering in the country. Like Israel we stand at the Red Sea; and the command of the Lord and Master is “Go Forward,” and in His name we call upon Baptist leaders in all parts of this country to go forward through the sea of doubt, and indiffer- ence, and listlessness, and procrasti- nation and fear, into the promised land of good-fellowship, and brotherly love, and co-operation, and achievements and joy. If we have faith to obey heaven's marching orders, the sea will divide and we shall go across dry shod into the promised land of victory and in Chicago, the mistress of the west, we shall pile up a heap of stones which for all time to come will tell to succeeding generations how Baptist heroes and heroines wrought mightily and prevailed in 1924. We are urging every Baptist pastor affiliated with the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, to” eitoll his church.’ This may be done at any time as the enroliment blanks are now ready. We call upon every Bap- tist and friend of our work in the coun- try who have made pledges to Dr. David E. Overr, or to other represen- tatives of any phase of ourgwork to come prepared to pay these pledges in full. We also call upon our boards to come prepared to make to this con- vention a business report of the year’s work. The Baptists who come to Chi- cago will want to know what their ser- vants have done in kingdom building. No organization can hope ‘to enjoy the confidence and favorable consid- eration of thinking people, who have no bonified constituency. We must point to our enrollment as evidence of qur power and influence as an organ- ization. What shall we do in Chi- cago? Shall we pay the debt on the Seminary property? Shall we sustain the foreign missio nwork in Africa? Shall we do feal home mission work and support our church extension work and support our church exten- sion movement? Shall we make all phases of the convention work a real- ity? Shall we simply bring money enough to Chicago to pay running ex- penses, or like loyal soldiers of Je- sus Christ, put down finances sufficient to sustain the conventions activities? | No less than sixty thousand dollars can satisfy the imperative’ demands of our convention this year. We call upon Baptists, in harmony with our program, throughout the country to rally to-our standard, and- appoint the prophecies of our ranks. We beg you to take this cause to the Lord. Seekin the guadance of the Spirit; follo wthe teachings of Gods word; and lay your all on the altar to be-used in His service. , Yours in His name, _ J.

Shaw, Pastor Sunday, September 7th will be a great day in Zion. Rev. Lovell of the Oakland Church will be present and preach morning and evening. He is scheduled to conduct services during this entire week. Rev. Lovell is a great spiritual preacher. Bishop J. W. Martin will be present at the services.

Prayer meeting and class each Wednesday night. THE PEOPLES' INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor The standard of great services of the Peoples' Independent Church of Christ was no less exemplary of supreme appreciation on last Sunday to the wonderful services of other Sundays, for truly the praise and bond with the organ voluntary by Mrs. Fannie Benjamin, which opened the inspiration of the day, the real services ushered in the greater blessings of the day. A special solo was touchingly sung by Mrs. Ada Stewart. Dr. Greggs preached a soul-stirring sermon on the subject, "The Temporal Revealing the Eternal." At the close of this spiritual discourse six accessions were made to the church, two of which were to be the opening Dr. Greggs preached from the subject: "Courage and the Christian Soldier." The financial results of the day's program as well as the spiritual results were very gratifying. Wednesday, at 5:15 j. m. Dr. and Mrs. Greggs with the elected delegates, Mr. J. H. Shackelford and Mrs. B. E. Prentice, will leave over the Union Pacific to attend the National council of Negro independent churches which convene in Detroit, Michigan. In advance of the pastor, Rev W.M. Irvin, assistant pastor, will be in charge of the services. Several visiting ministers will aid in the services each Sunday during the absence of Pastor Greggs. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH— 34th Street and Central Ave. Rev. E. E. Lightner, Pastor Rev. H. M. Kingsley, A. B. B. D. of Cleveland, Ohio, will occupy the pulpit at both hours at this church this Sunday. Sept. 7th. Rev. Mr. Kingsley is a native of Alabama; a graduate of Tallahassee College and of Yale University. He is now the Director of Negro Work in the north and the passer of Mount Zion Temple of Cleveland. He will preach at 11 o'clock and administer the Lord's Supper. In the evening he will throw pictures on the screen of the splendid work which is being done throughout the north. He is especially destruous of meeting all the graduates and former students of all American Missionary Association Schools. The past Sunday was a fine day with us. The Father's "Labor Day Message" in the morning and "The Call of Jonah" in the evening were well received. The Christian Endeavor held an Interfaith season at 7:00 o'clock when Mr. Geo. Nemo led the discussion of "The Importance of K - p. One's Promises." are cordially invited to wor p with us at all times. Truly, in the midst of her grief the church realizes the blessing that has come to her through having such an one as Dr. A. J. Stokes as pastor. The Lord spared him long enough that he might give directions as to the management of the church that it might prove to be a great force in the world for good. Every member has it in his and her heart that he should not have come to them in vain, that his words so tenderly and embodyly impressod his heart and minds shall be a sacred memory and they will show to the world to what degree their love for him holds by doing the things he outlined that they should in the name of Christ Jesus. During the absence of Rev. Archie Williams, the assistant pastor, Rev. C. B. Dones, a stanchion Christian and young minister whose words carry will be in charge of the services. Hear him for yourself. Sunday morning: Regular services will be resumed commencing with the Sunday School. Cadet Boys practice at 8:30 in the annex Sunday morning, led by Messrs. Chas. Edwards and L.

Beane, Pastor The pastor preached two very interesting and profitable sermons on last Sunday to two very large audiences. The congregations at this church are growing very rapidly and the membership is increasing steadily. The various departments show marked interest and enthusiasm. The church has recently undergone extensive renovation, and is indeed the "Church Beautiful." There will be a grand opening on Sunday, September 7th, at which time there will be three great services, during the day. The pastor will preach a special sermon at the 11 o'clock hour from the subject: "THE DIVINITY OF THE CHURCH." At three o'clock there will be a farewell service in the honor of Bro. Lewis who has been doing service in our city for the last year, and who will soon take his departure. We wish to make these services the very best ever and the day one long to be remembered. Come out Sunday and enjoy the services and look over the work that has been done. You will always find a cordial welcome here. This is the church where you will find a friend and a cordial handshake. Come and see. PLEASANT HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Bonnie Brae and Court Streets Rev. W. H. Rozier, Pastor Last Sunday was another glorious day at Pleasant Hill. The general assembly room of the S. S. department is overcrowded every Sunday. The general review of how the righteousness of heaven met the sin fullness of Samaria at the well, was so beautifully explained and portrayed by Rev. Rozier. In the A. M., services Rev. Rozier spoke on "The Church of this Age." The spiritual age. The Holy Ghost is at work and it is our glorious privilege, our indispensable duty to give him the right of way in our lives. Rev. Rozier implored us to take a stand. If we feel that we can't stand, just stand anyhow, and the spirit helps us stand. Truly it was wonderful and good. Rev. Rozier's subject was "Prayer." Truly every sermon is as a banquet table spread with good-things to eat. You can truly eat and grow fat at Pleasant Hill, for the scripture says that man shall not live by bread alone. The true word of God is being taught out here. On Monday, Pleasant Hill worshiped at the 1st Baptist Church at Furlong Tract and God sent a wonderful message to his people by his servant Rozier. Our cups ran over, and we are still thanking God for his wonderful message. Tuesday night, Rev. Hines together with his people worshipped at Pleasant Hill and Rev. Hines spoke out of the fullness of his heart, a burning message, straight to the throne of God. Bro. Hines is young minister, ministry, mighty in spirit. We pray: Rev. Rozier and Rev. Hines journey over the rockies and across the broad plains winding their way to the great national convention. God will bless them with the same fervent spirit, fire and power and that someone in the East will come in closer contact with the living God, and be blessed by their presence in that great body.

BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH: Holding its Services in the Y. M. C. A. Ninth and Hennock St. Rev. M. D. Prowd, Pastor Our Sunday Benedol was well attended, and the Study Lesson was most probatly undertaken. There were people present and they received the usual hearty welcome. At 11 clock o'clock Prowd prescheduled a most helpful seminar of the words John 15:13—"Grease the hatch no man than this that a man knoweth his life for his friend." Truly it was a time of refreshing from the Master. At the close the members held "A Gat Together" and transacted some business for the Lord. O, how sweet to dwell together in unity—such a blessing the Bethel Church is enjoying. At night we held a short service, and then went into a business session. We urge upon all our members to attend the means of grace, and most cordially invite friends, and strangers to visit us. SUNDAY SCHOOL AT THE CHRISTIAN AND MISSIONARY ALLIANCE An all day meetings in the interest of Sunday School work was held at the Gospel Chapel of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Branch No. 2, No. 211 Gloriette Street, Passaone, on Sunday August 31. Pastor Lewis Callender arranged to have the Sunday Schools of this district present and take part in the discussions of how to make the work of the School more efficient. Many responded and the little Chapel wished to have we were interested in giving the bible to young and old. Mrs. Alice Stoard, the superintendent of the school, gave the address of welcome to the delegates. The first speaker of the afternoon was Mrs. Randolph, who represented Scotts Chapel of the M. E. Church Sunday school. A large delegation was present from Scotts Chapel showing their appreciation of Mr. Callender who for several years was the teacher of Mrs. Randolph spoke of the importance of parents seeing to it that the children were sent to the Sunday School and better still to go themselves and take the children with them. She said also that many children may be gathered into the school if only some one would go to them and show a real interest in them. Many of those present from Scotts Chapel spoke giving encouraging words to the workers of the Alliance on Glorietta street. The first speaker of the afternoon was Mr. A. H. Evans, who represents the A. M. E. Church on North Vernon Avenue. He read a very helpful paper on Sunday school work. Late in the afternoon a good delegation arrived from the church in Los Angeles of which Rev. Washington is pastor. Mr. Romack, the Superintendent of the Sunday School who led this delegation, spoke o the problem of teaching the boys. A paper was read by one of the teachers from this school. A substantial offering was presented in this delegation from L. A. to the C. and M. A. workers, showing their interest in this missio nschool. The convention closed with a stirring address given by Mr. Rouzer, the bible school teacher of the First Baptist Church of Pasadena. Mr. Rouzer has been a bible teacher for years and is well qualified to present the needs of Sunday school work. Mr. Berry and daughters had charge of the music of the day which was a wonderful inspiration to all present. Mr. Berry has had charge of a large band in Cleveland, Ohio, but he left that field to take up the work here on the coast. All who attended this Sunday school rally felt that a great victory was won for the cause. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Duvale California Rev. E. Z. Martin, Pastor Sunday School at 9:30, well attended. Sunday was a very sad day in our little church. At the morning services, the pastor preached from Acts 9:11—"Behold he prayeth." He so beautifully lay stress on the power of prayer, the preyalling prayer, the fervent prayer, the strengthening prayer and the reward of prayer. And wonderous as it were, a note of sadness ran through the services, for he that sat with us just four short weeks ago and assisted in organizing our church, bid us God's speed, emphasizing the need, was gone to "His sweet Jesus. Rev. A. J. Stokes was our friend. Rev. A. J. Stokes was our pastor. Martin many years ago and he had lovingly given him a-charge to keep and with tearful eyes and trembling voice, he tried to keep to his God and Rev. Stokes. The B. Y. P. U. held a splendid meeting, the boys and girls entered an efficiency content, terminating the last of October. The subject of the evening was, "Jesus Saves." A large number of members and several visitors from Montvilla listened to this glorious message inspired by having one admission into the church. Miss W. Jackson and Miss M. Bar row sang a duet, "The City four square in memory of Rev. A. J. Stokes CHRISTIAN CHURCH Bed and Hooper Ave. M. Frederick M.

Coal and others made remarks of the excellent showing of the school being a new feature to our church life. Long Beach Boulevard and Redondo Car Line Isaac J. Williams, Minister Issael J. Williams, Minister Our services were, as usual, well attended. Bro. Williams, our minister, at eleven o'clock for a text, took the fourth chapter of St. John and the '7 Martia, to converse with St. Maria, to drawerman, Jesus saith unto her, give me to drink".

At 7:20 sharp the special slide praise service will begin. Mrs. J. F. Kirschhart has promised to render slate slides to the two weeks ago and those who heard her will remember for a long time the sweetness of those songs of Zion made clearer thru the Steepocean slides. The sermon by Evangelist Rodgers will be such as to hold the big audience in deep thought as he has been holding them throughout the three months until he said "TOP OF THE DOWN" and this is one of the Evangelist's favorite topics. These services will continue a few more(weeks and everybody that has not been to the Big Tent should by all means redeem the time and become a regular visitor. All seats are free and you are made to feel right at home. HIGH DAY AT ST. PAUL Sunday was high day at St. Paul. The audience was well in attendance.

My lord had need of me, And when by a still soft voice, He called me to a path that I did not know I answered, "Dear Lord, with my hand in thine I'll go where you want me to go, I'll go where you want me to go. dear Lord. Over mountains, 'oer plains, 'oer sea I'll ask, that you want me to say dear man. I'll be what you want me to be." CONDOLENCE "Be ye also ready, for in an hour that ye think not, the son of man cometh." Death has no season. He comes at darkness or at dawn, and his dread visitation can not be averted. Youth and age are alike his victims, and often he pucks the fairest form, which God calls as a celious heart, the friedish hearts to thoughts of heaven and reunion of the broken ties of earth. Surely in the death of Officer F. E. Corley he has taken one of the most useful and enthusiastic of the force. As a husband it was his happiness to add to the happiness of his family, to comfort and pleasure them in every way that was possible. As an officer, he was adequate, faithful and over ready to serve the public with that utmost urbanity of his swich had gained and won an influence of a majority. As a personal friend his loyalty was unimpaired. In his going we feel that we are bereft of a valued officer and Out off in the prime of manhood and at the threshold of a useful and beautiful life and character, worthy of omulation by the surviving family and friends. So let us sorrow not as those who have no hope, as we know he is not dead, he still lives, and may the beauty and inspiration of his life rest upon us, as his benediction. Mr. and Mrs. RICHARD FIELDS. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank the many friends for the kindnesses shown me in my recent bereavement, also for the beautiful floral offerings. MRS. FLORA O. CORLEY.

We deeply appreciate your beauty tiful offerings both flowers and in- ance. Thank you many, many times and let us assure you that your kindness will not be forgotten.

The candle flame that singes the moth's wings has furnished the idea upon which L. H. Weatherby, owner of a large peach orchard in South New Jersey, has developed in his fight against the Oriental moth, newest and most destructive of the pests that have attacked peaches in the East, nstead of using dandles, however. Weatherby has been more modern. He has had a regular electric lighting system, constructed in his 45 acre peach orchard. At night the orchard is a blaze of light. Around the incandescent light bulbs flutter myriads of moths and other insects. Their wings are not singed, but those that are closest to the light behave dazzled and fall into large shallow pans, one of which is set a few inches below each electric globe. These pans are filled with kerosene, which kills all moths and other insects that touch it.

Jesus in rebuking the narrow intolerant spirit of the Samaritan woman universalized the claim of Christianity as the creed of mankind. "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh and how is, when ye shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father taketh such to worship him, God is a spirit, and they that worship him, mustworship him in spirit, and in truth". This declaration forever banished time and place and race from the kingdom of God, which Jesus came to set up on the earth. But the more carnally minded portion of the white race which is now dominant in the material affairs of the world, has lapsed into a fleshy idolatry. They have made a graven image of whiteness and bow down and worship it with a reverence surpassing that rendered to any other God. The degree of color has the strongest controlling sanction. It is more blessed to be white than to be right. All ideals of beauty and goodness are made made in this mold. White and black have been made connive of opposite ethical qualities, of good and bad. The artistic and moral emotions have become adjusted to the unity of color and quality. The Christian religion is interpreted in trems of flesh and blood. The Negro is placed at the negative pole. His color must be apologized for when it is not belittled. The poet Cowper felt that he was complimenting the Negro to concede that, "Fleecy locks and dark complexion cannot forfelt nature's claim". Two apologetic negatives never yet made an emphatic affirmative. Marcus Garvey, finding his race confounded by such a color scheme calculated to humiliate and degrade its spirit, utters an emphatic revolt which seems grotesque and bizarre to those who are habituated to the white man's forme of thought and feeling. But why should God be pictured white rather than black, or yellow or brown? Except for the fact that the white man has given his own color to the graven image which he has made. I have seen colored angels painted on the walls of Negro churches, and an involuntary shoulder has come over me, because of the unconscious absorption of the white man's mode of portraying heavenly things as proper and normal. I recall seeing in a magazine the Chinese pictorial interpretation of the escapades of the Prodigal Son. The truant son and the loving father were typical chinamen with pig eyes, pig tails and pigmented nose. It at first struck me as a travesty; but the Chinese artist was simply true to the artistic genius of his race. He could not paint on an alien model. No Methodist artist can paint. John the Baptist baptising in the River Jordan. No Catholic can do justice to the portrayal of Martin Luther. A polychrome world can never accept a monochrome art it is essential to cling to, and artistic poeyal of heavenly characters, else physical variety will have its own type, and will not fail to bow down and worship it. The Negro is pitttably bended in he The Negro is pitttably bentled in the world by which he is surrounded. His standards are borrowed, and too often prove to be misfit. He is merely an conscious of his predicament I never witness a Negro dramatic cast performing a holy play intended to harp monize color and quality without a feeling of mixed revolt and pity. A Negro theatrical troupe where the lighter hued women and the darker-colored men are contrasted to ridicule, belittle and burlesque the race suggests the anconcious degradation of the mimicry of alien art. According to the prevailing mode all standards of excellence attach to the white race. The high stations in our social scheme are held by them. The Negro is relegated to the lower levels of service and dignity. We get in the habit of looking for noble qualities in one colo and ignoble ones in the other. Othello is the only conspicuous here of off color, that the white man has ever portrayed in modern literature and even he was endowed with fatal weakness. In modern literature one no where finds a hero of unmistakable Negro blood who holds excellence to the end. Even when given a good start he is always made to break down in the midst of his career. The high qualities of the lady or the gentleman must not be exhibited in that color. The Negro is a great patron of the moving picture, where he witnesses all noble qualities attributed to white men and women; while his own type never rises above the buffoon or the good and faithful servant. Unless he is careful to listinguish between the essential of quality and the non-essentials of color, he will find that modern art steals away his racial selfrespect he is aware. The remedy does not consist in the vindictive alternative of Marcus Garvey. There cannot be two standards in one civilization; neither can we have tw o Gods, one white and one black. We should have to have, not only a God for whites and black, but one for every hue and shade between. The Episcopalian definition of God is that he "is a being without parts or passion". The true God can have no race, no color, no national preferences. He is father alike to all of his children of every clime and hue. I have on my mental' busts of Plato and Shakespeare. But to me the race and nationality count for naught; their intellect for everything. I care nothing for race, color or superficial aspect of the author of the Sermon on the Mount. Religion appeals to the soul and not to the skin. Science and philosophy are color blind. A Christianity that reckons with color in no Christianity at all. The Negroes' salvation is to stress the essentials in science, art and religion. Let those who will revel in superficialities. And yet I devoutly wish that more members of the Negro blood might command high places and achieve great deeds. It brings respect to the race and makes it easier for the Negro to respect himself. It is tragedy to have white men monopolize what few high stations Negro lift eacords. It adds nothing to the glory of the white race, but leaves the Negro poor indeed. In the normal state of things every race will produce illustrious names in about the same relative numbers. There is no inherent relation between race and excellence of color and noble quality. Flesh and blood cannot inherit, the Kingdom of God. Just as we deem it a sfn for the white race to bow down and worship a white God, just so it is no less for the Negro to bow down and worship a black one. CAMPAIGN SWINGS INTO ACTION UNDER DIRECTION OF MATT- HEWS OF BOSTON, AND A BIG GROUP. OF PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS, FOR COOLIDGE Chicago, Sept. 1. (By The Associat ed Negro Press) William Clarence Matthews, of Boston, has been select ed by-William M. Butler, of Massachu settes, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, to direct the ac- tac-program for the campaign of 1924. Matthews is functioning, with Monroe Mason, of Boston, editor of the Blue Helmet, as his secretary. Matthews, senior member of a leading firm of lawyers in Boston, with offices in the famous Old South building a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and Harvard College, and a former U. S. District Attorney is regarded as eminent, qualified in handling political matters. He plays the game for advantage, but never forges the highest and best interests of his people. This is a purely essential quality in political leadership, the interests of the people as well as the party and the individual. With the appointment of Matthews, an entire readjustment of political activities is made. He plans a business like scientific campaign in which young men and new blood are to be given equal opportunity with the experienced campaigns of the past. The line up is in order: The line up is as follows: Director, William L. Matthews, Boston, Mass., with headquarters, Chico go. Secretary to Matthews, Monroe Mason, Boston. Chairman of Western Division: William T. Francis, Minne sota, Vice Chairman, Assistant, George W. Lee, Tenn., Chairman of Eastern Division. Charles E. Mitchell, of West Virginia. Vice chairman, Robert L. Vann, Pennsylvania. Director of Women's Division, Miss Hailie Q. Brown, Ohio. Director of Pubcty and Speakers, Roscoe C. Simmons, secretary, Mrs. Camille Cohen-Jones. National Committeeeman, Ga. Henry Lincoln Johnson. National Committeewoman, Ga., Mrs. G. S. Williams. National Committeeeman, Mississippi, Perry H. Howard. National Committee Woman, Miss. Mrs. W. P. Booze. The following are members of the board of strategy: Emmett J. Scott, Washington, Robert R. Church, Memphis, and Robert L. Vann, Pittsburgh. Down To Booze Toots. Down to Brass Tacks The Republican National Committee is down to brass tacks in the matter of dealing with the racial votes of the country. They are not endeavoring to fool themselves, or anyone else in to the belief that the votes of Colored America will rush themselves up to the poles without an understanding and vote the Republican ticket. They are proceeding on the sensible and practical basis that tColored voters must be given good and sufficient reasons, as all other voters, why they should support the Republican Party. This manner of dealing with the voters will, in itself, have a direct appeal. It shows the type of recognition that Colored citizens desire and, incidently the type being accorded by other parties, including the Democrats and Progressives. More than in any previous campaign in the history of the country the other parties are appealing to the Colored voter. The leaders of the Republican cause, from Matthews down to the humbleest, are recognizing the fact and telling it to Chairman Butler, and all of those associated with him "Laying all the cards on the table is the sensible way of going after votes and saving the interests of the party", says Matthews. According to information coming from the Republican National Committee headquarters in Chicago, September 22nd, will be turned into a national emancipation proclamation, at which time' celebrations will be held, and prominent speakers will be in all of the principal cities of the country. SIMMONS IN CHAIRMAN BUTLER'S OFFICE Chicago, Ill., Sept 1. (By The Associated Negro Press). Perhaps as clear a sidelight as it is possible to cast up on the personality of William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican National Committee was shown last week when because of lack of space and the realignment of positions, Roscoe C. Simmons found that no office would be available for several days to have his activities. Chairman Butler was leaving for a week's stay in the East but promptly turned his own private office over to Col. Simmons who held forth for a season at the point toward which all America's eyes are turned. LIBERIA GIVES GARVEY A STIFF JOLT Washington, D. C., Sept. 2. (By The Associated Press). Sundry letters and reports from Liberia representing Marcus Garvey and his followers to be persons non grata in the West African Republic were emphasized and confirmed this week by a communication from the Liberian government to the state department in which it was stated that the Liberian Government is irresponsible, responsible, in principle and fact to the incendiary policy of the Universal Negro Improvement headed by Marcus Garvey. The note to the American State department was signed by Eleanor Barclay, secretary of state for Liberia. Consul General Lyon of Liberia has received instructions to refugee to visa, passports that would aid Garveyites in getting to Liberia. Newark, N. J., Sept. 3. (By The As-associated Negro Press). S. intense has become the fight being made by the brilliant and fighting attorney, Isaac Nutter, upon Senator Walter Edge, candidate for re-election that the latter gentleman has turned his guns against the Atlantic City lawyer and seems disposed to shoot and bite back. Nutter is seeking to defeat Edge in the interests of Hamilton Kean. It now develops that Nutter has been the victim of persecution all along engineer by Edge. A number of the rights the lawyer has made for Negroes in and around New Jersey seems to have got the dignified "goat of the New Jersey Senator", especially those made against Atlantic City School segregation, Mr. Nutter now charges that the effort made to have him debarred from practice in the state was initiated and prosecuted by Edge and his lieutenants who offered to desist if Nutter would cease in his battle for the rights of Negroes in the State. Nutter now gives Edge the laugh on the latter's connection with the Dyer anti-branching bill. The first time he could not do anything but talk, and he realized it. Nutter charges him with making a speech purely calculated to help return him to the senate. In this speech the senator admitted he did not believe the measure would come to a vote but he just wanted to say something on it. Nutter's present fight against Edge might be questioned if he did not have a long string of similar battles to his credit in New Jersey and in other states of the Union. He has been one of the big Negro lawyers who has always occupied a strategic position in the defense of Negro rights. One time has seen him fighting in his home state, another at Coatesville, Pa. where he entered the lynching town under guard, another time in Maryland, or Delaware, and then again home, where, in Atlantic City, when the Klan proposed to parade, Nutter asked the mayor to simply stand back and let the Negroes take care of the situation. The mayor stood back, the Negroes armed under Nutter's direction and there never was and never will be any Ku Klux Klan parade in the seashore city. One of the most outstanding the complishments of Mr. Nutter was his sion- against senators and congress battle, when once gice nthe counnis men who ought against the Dyer bill. He planned and arrange the light in a number of states, assisted by his trusted lieutenant, Mrs. H. Blanche Harris, vice chairman of the New Jersey Republican Stat eCommittee. In Zulu land in Africa, the dance is the first and last consideration when it comes to match making, courtship, and finally marriage. In fact, dancing is a specific requirement for a girl who wishes to get a husband. And it is the dance which gives the young native of this wild country a chance to make up his mind which of the Zulu girls he prefers. The young man, bedecked with feathers and plumes, and the young women, respiendant in all the beds on which they can lay their hands, line up on two sides, the men on one side and the girls on the other, as far as possible. CHURCH BUILDERS WIN AGAINST WHITES South Bend, Indiana Sept. 3. (By The Associated Negro Press). The restraining order issued against the First A. M. E. Zlon church here against continued construction of its new $30,000 building at the corner of Eddy street and Campau boulevard, was dissolved in a hearing held before Judge Bingham of the Superior Court Friday morning. The order had been issued originally on protests of whites who claimed that the properties adjacent were being injured by the excavations made for the church structure. Attorneys for the defendants represented that the action of the whites was inspired by prejudice against Negroes who have been moving into the section. It was said that Harry Taylor, candidate for prosecuting attorney backed by the Ku Klux Klan, was prominent among those opposing the building of the church. The pastor of the church is Rev. B. F. Gordon who has led the fight among colored people to purchase better homes. He was represented by the law firm o Wills and Carter which has been active in supporting interests of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in this city. INDICT FLORIDA POLICE FOR SHOOTING Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 4. (By The Associated Negro Press.) For the first time in a number of pears two police, white have been indicted and charged with manslaughter for the killing of a Negro youth, Benjamin Washington, The Policemen, R. L. Woods, and J. S. Moeds were indicted last Thursday. Washington made his living pledging ice. He was shot down by the officers in front of his home after they had arrested him, and had allowed him to drive there to put up his team. Colored people were driven away from the scene, and the officers declared they shot in self defense. Colored witnesses declared that the youth did not offer any resistance to the officers and that the knife was placed under his body after the killing. The indictment is the result of the fight of the Police Sergeant, Negro paper here, for the conviction of policemen who promiscuously shoot at persons. In an editorial the week of THE WHY OF AMERICAN SOLDIERING New York, N. Y., Sept. 2. (By The Associated Negro Press). Illuminating comment is made on the reasons for American occupancy of a numbe rot Latin American countries, the use of marines, and so forth, in a survey made by Samuel Guy Inman, secretary of the committee on co-operation in Latin America, ths survey being included in an address before the commission on International Justice of the Federal Council of Churches. Mr. Inman and many other leading thinkers believe that the main ad antage sought in Haiti, Cuba and other island countries is economic and that American capitalistic greed "is backed up by military forces continuously on the ground." The following countries, annoyed by American marines, are mentioned by Mr. Inman: Cuba, where the United States has a navy base, with marines, usually in the interior of the country, with the threat of intervention always hold over the Cuban Government, which can make no loan, nor dispose of any territory without the consent of the United States, whose representatives at Havana largely controls the political and financial policies of a land whose economic life it determines by absentee landlords and bankers living in the United States. "Haiti, where two thousand United States marines direct and protect (the Haitian Government, elected under their supervision, an American financial adviser exercises absolute control over finances, collecting customs and making loans which the United States Government guarantees, thus securing its continued occupancy of Haiti, and where, moreover, the nation's Constitution was rewritten to permit the acquisition of land by United States companies. "Santo Domingo, where for the first time in the history of republics, one republic, without declaring war on another, landed an army, dismissed the President and Congress and ruled entirely without even a semblance of national government for seven years by military degrees enforced by a foreign military governor backed by 2500 marines. Recent promises to retire the military government and agreement to allow the United States to continue to collect the customs and administer the finances of the country. "Panama, where as President Roosevelt said, "I took Panama", since which time it has been largely under, United States control, financial, political and military. "Nicaragua, where we have maintained one hundred marines since 1912 keeping in control a government which according to the United States Admiral in charge, is opposed by 80 per cent of the Nicaraguans, but which is favorable to American bankers, who with the approval of the and own the national bank and the railroad. "Honduras, where the American minister and two American corporations, have long been the controlling powers, and where recently, marines have been landed for 'protection of American life and property', the same formula under which they have entered and remained in the other countries mentioned." "FRIEND OF JESUS" PASSES (Continued from Page One) sus went back to Heaven. "Twas his contact with the grave in which Jesus lay and from which He arose, the house in which He lived and the Calvary of His crucifixion that branded Dr. Stokes as never before as the "Friend of Jesus." How he loved Jesus. How he talked with Him about His people. He he pleaded with the people for Jesus. In love and tenderness, in his very tone of voice, his mannerisms and even carriage one saw the Christ. "The most Christ-like life I ever saw" is on the tips of all that knew him. Yes, he was indeed a friend to Jesus. Working with the zeal of one anxiously finishing up a task against a day of inspection near at hand, Dr Stokes has preached in three revival services since the second week in July, aggregating forty-eight sermons. He initiated the morning worship in revival services for the Baptist on the Coast and was finishing up a series of morning meetings in the Trinity Baptist when the call came. Fully conscious of when the end would come, he set about to leave his church an orderly organization and to advise his fellow minister's as to the work before them. "Brethren dwell together in love" he ever pleaded with them. Friday morning he preached in the Trinity Baptist Church and Friday evening in the arms and home of one of his members, Mrs. Scott Johnson of 1654 E. 50th St., he answered quickly and was gone. Dr. Stokes is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Rosa Stokes-Gordon of Chicago and a son, Dr. H. Benton Stokes of Milwaukee, an eminent physician. The body was accompanied by Revs. Archie J. Williams and L. B. Brown to Montgomery, Ala., Wednesday morning to be interred there. The National Baptist Convention will meet the train as it passes through Memphis and with uncovered heads paytribute to one whom they loved and who has served so well. the killing, "Barbarism" the Sentinel denounced the crime. The editorial which was strong for a race paper in the South named the participants and caused much comment among white and colored at the time. The policemen have been relieved of duty and are out on bond awaiting trial.

If one of our group would for a moment in the dark hours of despondency and discontent, think that there are no outstanding figures of the white race who stand for justice and the square deal; we here and now would dispel such a thought from your mind. We call our particular attention to the Hon. Will C. Wood, superintendent of Public Instruction for the great State of California. Read his words upon the El Centro school situation and you will change your mind, no trimming, no dodging the issues. He speaks up for law and justice. There are many others remember them and at all times give such men your hearty support. We can call the names of numerous broad gauged men of California who never hesitate to stand up, speak and act for you, and we shall forget not overlook such grand characters as Judge Cavin, Craig; Judge J.

They stand without equivocation or mental reservation for even handed justice and the square deal for all mankind. DON'T FORGET THE MAIN ISSUE It is all right to keep your weather eye on the political horizon; remember your friends and also keep your eye upon your enemy. In so doing, however, do not forget that the main issue on these Western shores is to qualify along the line of business efforts. The politician will forget you when the campaign passes away, but the business man is with you always. If you can qualify to do real business you are always welcome at his door. Fifty thousand members of a race is your foundation, it is up to you to assemble the business of this people. When this thing is accomplished you automatcally take your place in the ranks of men who do business. Therefore speaking for fifty thousand members of our group let the watch word ever be a renewed effort for real constructive business along all lines of effort. CLOSING OF THE HUMMING BIRD CAFE Colored citizens are far more interested in the real efforts for the promotion of solid business institutions than they are whether or not the Humming Bird is sustained in the present altercation with the police department of this city. As a matter of face the means and inclination of our folks for cabaret entertainment are insufficient to maintain such a pretentious enterprises as the Humming Bird Cafe. They have no ambition or desire for social contact with any other race than their own. They go to public places especially those conducted by their own race, socialize with their own and are satisfied. They are absolutely void of the baneful and damnable prejudices which bid fair to wreck our whole body politic in no far distant future. They stand absolutely for law and for order and are asking and hoping for the square deal which is just as firmly denied them. They are not unmindful of the fact, that the white people who poured into the Humming Bird created envy from the other white cafe owners and that baneful propaganda was spread against the place in question. Many other side lights indicated ulterior motives in bringing about the revocation of the permit of this place. To our way of thinging this was not only unfair but unjust as well and standing for the square deal we cannot hold our hand or stay our pen; but must speak up for justice and fair play, even though the cabaret is foreign to our category of real business enterprises. We noted with regret the line of demarkation set by our public officials as to the low downs; in conducting this sort of business. Under our constitution where comes the edict that lines must be drawn in a public place and it is a cause of confiscation of a man's business, should it be known that a white man and a man of another race can not sit at a table together and talk on questions of state or welfare of our country. Are we in Mississippi, Arkansas or Texas? THE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT NULLIFIED BY THOSE WHO SHOULD UPHOLD IT The wife of the pastor of the First A. M. E. Church of this city has put in vogue a system of rule or ruin, so it appears. This consists of violent opposition, hatred and malice toward all who do not think as she thinks, and who would dare express themselves as they feel in their souls. To our mind this attitude is not only far from that of Christian people, but tends toward demoralization of not only the church itself but goes farther and seriously affects the amity which should exist in religious communities and it is indeed to be regretted that 63 years of civilization has not been sufficient time in which to take ```markdown ``` PAGE MIS NUMBERED this selfish and narrow view of things even from so good and capable persons as the one mentioned above. The attitude of the above named person in a recent affair at the First A. M. E. Church which needed a program printed, and out of malice and hatred to this establishment she preemptorily ordered the printing withdrawn from the same, and passed up three other printing establishments conducted by members of our group to get a white firm to do the work at a decided advance in price, was unchristian to say the least and surely prompted by malice and hatred insofar as this shop is concerned, and exhibited race disloyalty to the others. The very foundation of the First A. M. E. Church is built upon the enterprises fostered by our group. The person mentoned is, and has been the product which has gained all her life sustenance, education, and lived upon the contributions of the members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and it therefore comes with bad grace for such exhibitions to become manifest as mentioned above. It reflects not only upon the intelligence of a people but upon the church itself. We want it clearly understood that not a word we write, is actuated from either hatred or malice. We speak even now only in self defense and against such a preposterous policy put in vogue by the wife of the pastor of this church. We regret very much to give this matter publicity, but such actions can only be exposed by pitiless publicity and the next person discerning the predicament it causes will think twice before adopting policies of malice and hatred. For this pastor and his wife this writer has the highest possible personal regard and even though assailed in every way possible, we will not bow down to any hate programs. We might have exercised the right of a newspaper to fearlessly speak up on questions concerning a Metropolitan church in this community, if it was not sauce to suit their taste we assure them that malice or hate was far from our thought.

Provincial legislation. And some remedy or see that it does not. This, many discerning people general malady from which our Let us preach the propaganda completely dissolved. What's the matter with Congress? Why is it that our representatives, selected by the inviolate will of the people, frequently fail to get through the proper amount of efficient legislation, relieve the burden of those heavily laden in their districts, legislate for the country at large, and use their vote and intelligence to bring about better conditions for the entire population of these United States? Questions of this kind, which are being asked on every side, emphatically indicate that the great majority of thinging people are either dissatisfied with Congress or are speaking in contempt of it. Ther eis no doubt that many self-constituted critics continually bewail the conditions set up in various parts of the country by certain kinds of legislation. And there are those who are not exactly critical of the acts of Congress but are prone always to suspect the actions of that august body and to question those acts in an attempt to ascertain whether or not their representatives have efficiently represented them. Between these two extremes may be found a paucity of indifferent, non-committal ones—those who deliberately fail to cast their ballot in the general primaries. No representative of either of these may lay claim to speaking impartially. Each are swayed by some pet prepossession, and cannot therefore deliver intelligent judgment upon the affairs of our law making bodies. The California Eagle is no exception; but it seems to us that the general malady from which Congressmen are suffering is their mental incompetence. Mental efficiency may not be a panacea for all our ills, but that it will considerably deliver us from many evils, no fair-minded person can well deny Granting, then that our Congressmen are sadly in need if some schem eof systematic mental training, it may be well to suggest in what directions we should go in accomplishing this. Because a Congressman blocks legislation on account of his interest in the district that elects him is a clear indication of his lack of a sense of duty to the larger whole. Why then not offer Congressmen examinations wherein we may seek to determine their views upon their duty to their own district? Certainly this, when successfully accomplished, would place us in a position to know how a member of Congress will allow a provincial interest in influence hm. The intelligent representatives of his district could then determine the wisdom or fally of supporting him. Provincialism should not interfere with legislation. And some remedy of this kind should be tried to see that it does not. This, many discerning people will agree, seems to be the general malady from which our Congressmen are suffering. Let us preach the propaganda of non-partisanship until it is completely dissolved.

Refusal of this government to participate with other nations in discussing under what conditions the Lague may assume arm traffic control is in no wise a surprise to us. Pro-League sentiment since the days of the war has been suppressed on every side. Only a few far-seeing ones have successfully made plain the obvious necessity of entering the League. And they have been silenced by numrous anti-League forces. The coming national election, it is not to be overlooked, has a direct and immediate a bearing upon this candid refusal. After it becomes a matter of history, let us hope that there will be remaining among us a few who will advocate American participation in the League Assembly, and thereby seek to avert a duplication of those horrors of which we have just passed. SCATTERED ANTICIPATIONS We were glad to witness the Outlet Magazine: a Western m lishing the works of unknown bu We have confidently awai of this magazine efor two reaso type of magazine which Negroes Second, lo see if it was entireld Our faith was not shatter We were glad to witness this week the appearance of The Outlet Magazine: a Western monthly, t obe devoted to publishing the works of unknown bu ttalented Negro writers. We have confidently awaite dthe heralded appearance of this magazine efor two reason: First to see if it was the type of magazine which Negroes would welcome at this time. Second, to see if it was entireld a race produce. Our faith was not shatter din our first anticipation, for th magazine in typographical appearance, contents and statement of policy is admirable and deserves the congratulations of all interested in magazine production. But our second anticipation was ominously shattered when we learned that, although all the articles came from the pens of budding Negro writers, the printing was done in toto by a white firm. This does not beaspeak eloquently of the editor's race pride, and however faultless their motives, it somewhat warrants the astute suspicion that they have very little faith in the ability of their own people to print their magazine. It is patent that if the new magazine is to survive, it needs must be supported by Negroes rather than by white men. But should Negroes support it for the financial aggrandisement of white men? No fair minded person, possess of race grde, can honestly answer that question in the affirmative. AS USUAL, Jack Moonaxer is on the horns of a dilemma. His "Common Sense," which so violently assails books and book-worshippers, has recently expressed its desire to appear in book form! No intelligent individual who really knows what common sense is—knows what are its fundamentals—would go searching for it in a book! The Negro fraternities and sororities in this community have stimulated more educational interest among our young people within the last five years than any other single force. A comparison of the registration of Negro student sin local colleges four or five years ago with that of today, together with the testimony of the students themselves sufficiently convives one of this fact. These organizations are strictly campus "organizations, and it is only arrant ignorance that they have with outside enterprise and stirs up jealous and malicious opposition to their existence. We admired the silent dignity with which they ignored the cheap and hollow attack which was made on them some time ago by Jack Moonaxer's eternal stupidity. By attending some of their educational functions held early this year we learned a few things about them. Some of our biggest race leaders are associated with them. We noted the names of Harry T. Burleigh, Clarence Cameron White, Florence Cole-Talbert, Nannie Burrough, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Profs. Carver and Kelly Miller, Dr. J. E. Moreland, Aaron Malone, Roland Hayes, Dr. Sade Mosel-Alexander, Allen Dunbun Nelson, Jessie Alexander, Haley Q. Down, Bishops Jno. Gregg, John Hurst and B. RIsh OUR MASTERS deliver us! These folk must be a group of idiots to ally themselves actively with "mere shams" and "half-educated" youngsters! Of course, we do not believe that these Greek letter organizations exist to teach their members Greek. That is the function of schools and colleges. What logical sense, therefore, is there in the admonition that because the "study of Greek is becoming practically obsolete" in our schools these institutions should also "become obsolete"? Does a Greek letter fraternity or sorority necessarily signify that it must be "working about Greek further than the letters of their fraternity" or sorority? Only Jack Moonfixer, who I also great on seeing the folly of every on eels but his own, can tell us. If it were possible for us to get into any of these fraternalities or sororites we would gladly do so, for we should prefer, again and again, to be in an organization with a "high sounding name," from which the "genius" of "Common Sense" expects nothing, because they are "more shams," than to parade a "high sounding degree behind our names, the merits of which we cannot demonstrate to those of uncommon sense who expect something of it. Speaking of shams, Jack, you are perfectly right. We are so tired of all these self-named, hatched up and patched-up Doctors of Divinity in this town that we feel like calling an ambulance and loading in these scholastic Munchauens to Northwestern, Boston, Chicago, or some such place where they may get the attention and advice of a few "mental surgeons." Every fellow who cranes his neck upward in a high collar, dons a long coat and broad-rimmed hat is a "D.D." All humbug! Frock coats and high hats are impressive indeed. They may, however, cover any "intellectual fledgling". For who is an "intellectual fledgling", but a physically big or little man with an unfledged intellect? Shams! Jack! No end of shams here! Social shams, mora lahams, religious shams, intellectual shams and academic shams. Every man who parades a degree after his name to which he is not entitled either by academic merit of by honorary award, reflects ridicule, discredit and dishonor on hmself and on his race. The next time that we encounter another spectacle of my extravagantly heralded "educator and orator" flying a Ph.D. after his name which does not appear in the authoritative records of the number of Negro Ph.D's in America we shall lift the lid. We have just about 27 or 28 of these academic "high brows" in our group, and we shall see that their merit is not unfairly and unjustly mimicked. Every one is seeking power—religious, political and economic power. Some even try to lord it over us intellectually. What a rude world when there shall be no underlings! It is far better. If you are a dullard, to quit yelling from the house-top about the school which you attended "back cast," than to be every now and then making a noise about Boston, Columbia, Yale or some such place. You are simply giving intelligent people a chance to suspect you of lying, or to brand you as a lazy "get-by" while you hung around one of those institutions. Leaders! leaders! leaders! We hear this noisy word everyday of our lives; and how do some of our leaders lead! Watch them for the answer. As a matter of fact spiritual guides may find the best sign-posts written It is difficult to explain this to those who find it convenient to play upon the emotions of an emotional group. The test of intellectual fitness does not lie in the schools from which we graduated. It is measured by our ability to understand and overcome the rational problems of human life. From what schools did Samuel Johnson, John Bunyan, William Hazlitt, Charles Lamb, William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, Gilbert Chesterton, Lloyd George and others of their respective types, graduate? Make no mistake about it, if a fellow is too lazy to constantly read and refresh his mind with the vigorous and stimulating thoughts of greater mind than his own—whether he is or is not a graduate of any school of learning—his thinking is bound to be slowly or lazy. "The most benighted, ignorant person in the world," say Jack Moopier last week, "is not the person who is learned, but the inflated learned person who thinks more highly of himself than he thinks to think." And now we say this: "the person who is learned is certainly a "learned person", Jack just as the man who is mad is assured by a mad man. Whether the "learned person" is "inflated" or the "mad man" is dangerous is merely a question of the degree to which their quality of learning or madness extends. All that you have said, therefore, is what we already know to be true, namely, that a benighted or ignorant person, is neither a person who is learned, nor a learned person, who may be inflated by his learning! It is manifestly stupid to say that any one "thinks more highly of himself than he ought to think". There is no limit to what a man may think of himself. Your quotation is bungled by the word "ought", Jack. You can think yourself President of the United States, if you wish to. There is nothing to stop you from thinking. It is another question whether you are really the President or not—of what you are—not what you ought to think! Check up, Jack! Check up! You said the other day, Jack, that you will not take advice from "failures". May we ask you politely by what standards do you measure success? It was one of your usual generalities, Jack. When we plant seeds we expect to see the nature of the plants. If they never come up, we never know. The same is true of individuals. If men hide their dispositions they can deceive us. They will, generally, however, in due time, reveal the truth about their actions. BOOK REVIEWS BOOK REVIEWS THE BEAST, By Luke Allan Boston: Small, Maynard and Co. $2.00 After tiring of living in the Utopias that Mr. Wells ingeniously constructs out of his exuberant imagination, and after traveling over cobble stone roads with a coterie of other second-rate novelists, whose wont it is to repeatedly harp upon some pet theme, it is refreshing to encounter Mr. Luke Alan, and, forgetting the world and the protracted state in which politicians and self-constituted mountebanks have placed it, listen with enraptured attention to him as he relates a story of exciting adventure and romance in the Rockies. This may not be Mr. Allan's first novel. On the contrary, we are assured it is not. But were it his first attempt to write the American novel, we feel confident that it would invoke a following somewhat suggestive of that which Mr. Mencken holds in the field of literary criticism and that which Strachey holds in biography. People are getting sick of the psychological novel. It has failed to do one half of what its most eminent practitioners have claimed for it, and as the years going back to the close of the Great War, they have ended in the background, readers of fiction will more and more demand simple stories beautifully told and stripped of every pretentious disguise. Mr. Allan may be well regarded as the forerunner of this new movement. In "The Beast" he has told a story of a beautiful young woman, who, while touring the Rockies with a group of friends, encounters a rough hunter and trapper. With the intention of making the woman his mate, he carries her away to his cabin. An accident offers both an opportunity for unselfish service. Through devotion to him, she becomes reconciled to his brutal conduct, pits him and endures herself to him through sympathy and compassion. She becomes a perfect companionship and resolve to "live happily ever after" in their beloved Rockies. Blake Drinnan is as near life-like as anything we have seen, and there are flashes of description, which, when taken in conjunction with an elaborate plot and sustained elements of suspense, make the book an unusual piece of craftsmanship. It is, to be sure, heartily recommended to all those young ladies who bought some twenty-five thousand copies of Mrs. Edith M. Hull's "The Sheik". It is certainly more cleverly told by those of the weaker sex who are suffering from the cave man complex. That there are many young women laboring under influence of the cave man complex is not alas! to be inferred because so large a number of college women constantly evade their those scholastic classmates for libricle football players. Nor is it to be inferred from the cases of those rich noblewomen who forstake those of their own group for chase of them, and the most striking of them who inhabit their premises. It is really not to be inferred at all. Professor McDoughall's book, "Ethics and Some Modern World Problems," is more than a compilation of theories concerning the probabilities of raising our civilization to a higher level than any yet predicted by rosy-eyed optimists. It is one of the most admirably conceived plans for accelerating the establishment of universal and permanent peace ever embodied in our language. He proceeds to show that the great need of our time is an effective synthesis of the two systems of ethics, the Universal system and the National system. Without such a synthesis, nations will continue in their folly of open controversy and ceaseless war. "Neither system will alone survive the basis of our civilization, the National system, unmodified by its rival, must be accompanied with disasters as the result of World War. . . . The Universal system, unmodified by the recognition of the validity of the National system, must lead to universal stagnation and decay. . . . Therefore the great need of our time is an effective synthesis of the two great systems." The appendices, proposing the only possible means to preserve world peace, and the commentaries on the Bok peace plan and that provoke the Christian Science "monitor" are nothing if not provocative, and stimulating. THE LITTLE FRENCH GIRL * By: Anne Douglas Sedgewick Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co. $2.00 A book of impeccably perfect characterizations is "The Little French Girl". To read it is to live in a strange land, populated with happy, enchanting creatures like Alix, Mrs. de Selincourt's heroine. Alix is as beautifully drawn as Becky Sharp. Her candid, sincere and lovable disposition will captivate the most lethargic of readers. And Giles too is, in Mrs. de Selincourt's hands, the epitome of English gallantry. To say she knows English and French ways is not telling half the story. For there are many who know intimately the manners of English and French life in a way in which Mrs. de Selincourt is a mere novice and yet have as realistically presented it as has she. The story concerns itself with a little French girl sent to England on account of her mother's indiscretions to find a husband there. What she encounters—her experiences, thrills, trials etc.—are told in words of surpassing beauty. It is not always that we are inclined to speak in encomiums of books that are sent to us in advance, like this, for our review. But "The Little French Book" is one of the most our trouble in preparing a review of it for special release on this date. —Chauncey Townsend. ASKS FOR CUP OF COFFEE—GETS A KNIFE A. W. Parish of 117 South Savannah Street sees quite a difference between hot coffee and a long butcher_knife, both in the same place at the same time. According to a complaint filed this week by Attorney W. O. Tyler against "Jacks Quick Lunch" at 830 East 5th Street, A. W. Warrish and Fred McNeese went into "Jacks" lunch room at one o'clock in the-morning of August 28th, and after taking a seat at the counter asked for a cup of coffee. Evidently it was not the intention of the management to serve coffee to the general public for not only, says the complaint did the waiter refuse the coffee but to emphasize the fact that the restaurant made a cup of persons non-cuscanian, the waiter produced a long butcher knife and made plain his intention of using it if Parrish and McNeese did not beat a hasty retreat. It is alleged in the complaint that Jack Stewart is the proprietor of the lunch room and damages are asked by Attorney Tyler (or a violation of Civil Rights bill and for the assault of drawing the butcher knife. COLOR LINE BARRED IN CALIF. SCHOOLS Sacramento, Calif., Sept. 3.—Colored children cannot be denied admission to the public schools of this state. Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction, today assured a group of citizens in El Centro who have protested against the exclusion of their children from the Central Union high school there. In appealing to Wood, a committee composed of C. C. Hall, P. Anderson and J. C. Fair claims that Negro high school students are being quartered in the elementary schools where the education is not of a secondary nature. This is declared to be in violation of the law which says that although separate schools may be maintained equal advantages and privileges must be offered. Wood has advised the committee to resort to mandamus action if the authorities continued to discriminate against colored children.

Opportunity walked hand in hand with Sav- age Sunday and that lad took advantage of opportunity’s pres- ence and made for himself a name that will live long upon the tongues of those who fe to the Goodyear Park for their Sunday amusement. Due to Savage’s sterling work, the All Stars won over Van Nuys by the score of 5-4. Other than Savage's work, Slow time's homer should not go ‘un mentioned nor the put out of Fagan and Adams in the ninth inning. Fagan made a stop of a ball that had passed over second and beat the runner to first with a snap throw that Adams took ang held while lying on his back. The All Stars looked better than ever Sunday, the Van Nuys club be ing an aggressive bunch that kept coming from behind with a punch that made the Stars play big league ball to win. Sunday's game was the best to date as the play by innings will show. Play by innings: First Inning Van Nuys—Allington fanned. Bailey singled through Riddle. J.

Reed, Official scorer. ‘The All Stars proved that-the win over the Glendale White Sox at Good- year Park Sunday a week ago ;was ‘not a fluke. Labor Day at Glendale’s own park the All Stars repeated the dose of defeat by an 8 to 4 score. Tt was Slowtime's second win over the Sox. Butcher as usual was on the The first double header| of the pres- ent season will be played at Goodyear Sunday, September 7th, when the All Stars will meet the C. C, M. O.'s and the Eastman Tigers. The All Stars a couple of Sundays back ‘broke the Tigers’ winning streak of 23 games and the Tigers are com- ing back for revenge. The C. C. M. 0.'s are a yery hard hitting aggregation from Torrence and the like the All Stars they have recently beaten Glen- dale. They only have a victory over the Carroll Giants, winning one of the only two games the Giants lost. The batteries of the All Stars will be John- son and Manson and Evans and But- cher. MY EXPERIENCE AS A MANAGER By Bob Fagen _ ‘Now for the rest of my gang. | Il start with Paul Wilson, the out: fielder. He covers lots of ground and is fast.on bases and some, manager will get this boy and make a, star out of him. What he lacks | is” hitting form. I have watched his hitting close ly and I believe he should try chang. ing hig style until he gets the right one then stick to it. The saying of mana- gers that one player looks better stricking out than some players hit- ting four hundred somewhat applies to Paul. Savage who is playing next to Wil- mn in left field is a coming player. A Rea hitter and a good fielder covers Savage entirely. The Pitchers Next Now for my pitchers. Evans, Mun- fon and Jay Johnson compose a very good staff. First we will look over and tell about Evans, He fe an oldtimer and has the’ piteb- ing brains. He also knows how to pitch. He is awful slow and that is why they call him Slowtime. ‘Next we have Munion another Ro- gan. He has a world of stuff, will lis- ten and is willing and loves to pitch. There is no reasoh why he shouldn't turn in many winning games for the All Stars. g Johnson is somewhat on the same order, always trying out smart the batter and make him go after some- thing bad. With more experience he will be a star in any company and very much in the lime light. While talking of pitchers I wish to Say that pitching is sixty per cent of the game and when a team gets bad pitching ft looks bad as a whole. Hitting counts too, but there are lots of players who don't hit like thelr brother team mates but are won- derful fielders. While that player can't hit he is going across second base knocking down balls that are labeled for hits. Don't you think he is just as valuable a man to his team as some players who can only hit? Lots of ball games have been won by sensational stops. 1 believe young ball players get more encouragement’ em the fading stars} and old timers;how than in the old days. The ae timersiseem to take a mdre philosophical view of the aitu- ation than earlier school of players. They now school the youngsters and teach them the fine points of their positions. I didn't find things that way when I was coming up. I ‘had to teach myself and fight my way to the front. receiving end. The same lineup that worked for the All Stars Sunday played at Glendale Labor Day. A large crowd witnessed the game.
