Miss Pollard left the car at 16th and San Pedro with the intention of walking to 18th and San Pedro and to the home of Mrs. McDowell on East 18th street, near San Pedro but when she alighted from the car a man caught her by the arm and invited her into a waiting automobile. Miss Pollard emphatically declined the invitation. The man, however insisted by catching hold of her arm and as she desperately fought him off another man (white) his partner in the hold-up profession, appeared on the scene, and aided in the attempt to capture Miss Pollard, but the young woman's strength was doubled by the exigency of the occasion, and after they had torn her clothing, beat her about the face and arms, she broke from their grasp, and ran bleeding up the street to the home of the McDowells where she fell in a heap. Miss Pollard was rushed to the office of Dr. Diggs where her wounds were treated. The sad thing about the affair was that after beating and attempting to force the young woman into a waiting car, these white brushes robbed her of a purse containing $64.00 and some very valuable papers. LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPT. When the case was reported to the Police department, two white officers were sent out to investigate, and when Miss Pollard insisted that her assailants were white the officers said that such was not possible, that white men did not attack colored women. Miss Pollard was taken to Police Headquarters to identify the assailants, and while from the beginning she insisted that they were white, eleven colored "chape" were passed out; none of whom Miss Pollard had ever seen—and no further effort has been made by the officers of the law to detect Miss Pollard's assailants. We have other cases on our calendar to be presented, where white officers in the Los Angeles Police Dept. are freely dispensing Ku Klux propanda when people, of color are in question. Los Angeles' sixty of seventy-five thousand colored-population should come forward and demand from the Police Department fair, square, treatment—"within the law." The M. P. A. opened its season's activities last Wednesday evening at Sojourner Truth Home. Much enthusiasm and interest was manifested by the large number present. An interesting program was supplemented by Mr. Williams, a fine tenor from Chicago, who was accompanied by his wife. She is also a very talented pianist. Italy was the country for that evening. After the program delicious punch was served. The next meeting is the second Wednesday evening in October and Russia is the country to be studied while Russian music will be performed. MRS. C. H. CONNER HOSTESS TO NEWLYWEDS, DR. AND MRS. FRANK A. PEARL The elaborate reception tendered Dr. Frank A. Pearl and his bride on last Wednesday proved to be perhaps the most pretentious affairs of its kind ever given in this section. The scene was staged at the Art Studio on Broadway, the interior of this beautiful studio amid its decorations in keeping with the occasion was most gorgeous as well as beautiful, entrancing music livened the occasion and truly no prince or princess ever received a greater homage by his townmen than was accorded to Dr. and Mrs. Pearl on this occasion. The elite of Lqs Angeles society vied with each other to welcome Dr. Pearl back home and too likewise Mrs. Pearl to her future home. The gown worn by Mrs. Pearl was a bewitching garment of rose petal, pink georgette and crystal beaded fringe of advanced design. Mrs. Conner wore an elaborate hostess gown of white princess satin, draped model with court train. The many matrons in the receiving line were equally gowned for the occasion, time alone prevents a detailed description of the same. In this situation the entire studio resembled a beautiful twilight. garden softly lighted, floral decorations and potted plants. The Sunnyland Jazz Orchestra furnished the music. MRS.

Eg Burton Ceruti prominent attorney, Exalted Ruler of the big Elks organization of this city, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of the California jurisdiction, has just returned from an extended visit in the East where he was accompanied by his wife. The trip was made by motor so far as Pittsburgh to the Annual Convention of the Elks. From Chicago he was accompanied by Dz and Mrs. M. S. Ebb, residents of that city. They drove through Cincinnati, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Erie, Cleveland, back to Chicago. He reports a wonderful session of the Elks and that J. Finley Wilson swept things before him for re-election to the office of Grand Equestrian, and that Littleton McDuff west over big as one of the Grand Auditors. ATTY. E. BURTON CERUTI Through the courtesy of Attorney S. A. T. Watkins and State Attorney Crow of Chicago, our attorney was presented to Judge Cavery presiding at the Loeb and Leopold trial. Judge Cavery graciously made an order admitting him at any time to the trial and provided a seat for him on the bench. Attorney Cerati, who is deeply interested in the subject of insanity as related to crime, attended several sessions of the celebrated trial giving studious attention to the proceedings. The attorney declared that in all of the large duties he noticed a growing sentiment among the colored people for LaFollette. He explained that Negroes are apprehensive of the increasing influence of the Kn Klux in Republican Party affairs, and they will not accept the hooded Klan as a red note. avis, the Democratic presidential nominee and LaFolletta, the Independent candidate, have bitterly denounced the Klan by name and rejected the support of that infamous organization. Mr. Coolidge, the Republican candidate is silent and resists every effort to elicit an expression. This fact acquires sinister significance when it is noticed that the Klan has captured the Republican machine in many Republican states, including Maine, Indiana, Kansas, Colorado and Washington. The Klan was successful in keeping its name from the Republican platform and, up to this time, sealing the lips of the President. The Negro cannot afford to make common cause with an oath bound organization pledged to "white supremacy"; and the Republican party must now choose between the Negro vote and Klan support. Few Negroes will support the Democratic nominee, because that party is dominated by the cold South. As the result, there is soothing agitation for LaFolletta; and the attorney predicts large defections of colored votes to the Independent ticket in Republican States. Of course, Attorney Ceruti has long held a strong personal admiration for the sturdy character of the Wisconsin Senator, and his views of the political The San Bernardino Morning "Sun", Friday, September 12, 1924. Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., famed orator of the colored race made the Municipal Auditorium ring with his oratory last night, as he pleaded eloquently for men to measure up to the Nighest standard of character. With all the fire and enthusiasm of his race added to a cultured and scholarly mind. Mr. Morris undertook to show that the colored man has done wonders in the brief space of 61 years since his freedom was declared in this country, comparing to advantages his achievements with that of the white man who had had 40 centuries of civilization behing him. "Man comes a patient influence on everyone with whom he can come into contact," said Mr. Morris, "therefore it is vital whether that influence is for good or for bad. I'd change the world one must change the individual. One of the measures of a man is that founded on character. Reputation is only what people believe you to be, but character is what God knows you to be. In spite of race and color the world demands a single standard, and the individual who thinks he is fooling the world is only setting a trap in which he will sometime be caught himself. In the olden days it seemed more frequently the case that when a woman married she demanded character of the man, so that when the moon faded, the moon yellil remained, even unto 60 years, instead of the tood often present 60 days." Rosevelt is Sited "The second messur eof a man is that of courage. Rosevelt said that there is no man fit to live unless he has something within himself that he is ready to die for. I would plead for the courage that knows no fear. All great sign and women are individuals of courage, as witnesses Paul, the apostle, or Joan of Arc. "The third measure of a man is that of faith, spiritual as well as material. Woodrow Wilson said: "Our civilization cannot survive materially unless it progresses spiritually. The only thing that can raise both the white and the black man is the Light which shows 3000 years ago from Calvary. A small vision builds a big city. All the men who have left their footprints on the earth have been men of faith." Ross Seeks Own Geisle "The fourth measure of a man is aspiration. A man without aspiration is of no avail to the world. The black people do not want to imitate the white people; all we want is a chance. What helps one helps all, so that when the black man is treated fairly and squarely that treatment redounds in the interest of the white man. Just 61 years has the black man been free in this country to work out his own destiny and see what man have been produced, two of the greatest being Booker T. Washington, the educator and Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the poet. The white man here has had 14 centuries of civilization behind him. With the centuries to come "It doth not yet appear what we shall be." "Future is in the fourth measure of a man is loyalty, loyalty to ourselves, to the people, to the country, to the government. The world tomorrow will not (Continued on Page Three) situation may be tinged by this personal regard. Our high personal regard for Mr. Coruti prompts us to give this publicity. We have ever found him fair and square and never failed to support any movement worth while for the race. He has served faithfully and well for the party of Lincoln and Grant and in giving his support to other than the regular nominee of the party as stated above, we feel that he feels just. STARTLING CHARGES AGAINST OFFICIALS AT FOLSOM PRISON IN LETTER SIGNED "UNPREJUDICED CACAUSIAN" LINCOLN LEAGUE TAKES HOLD OF PROPOSITION AND WLL INVESTIGATE THE REPORTED BRUTALITIES AT THIS STATE INSTITUTION Lincoln League takes hold of proposition and will investigate the reported brutalities at this State institution brutality at this State institution. At the regular meeting of the Lincoln League on last Tuesday evening held at the Y. M. C. A., the editor of this paper read a letter addressed to him by an inmate of the penitentiary at Foism. The letter set forth conditions of brutality, both inconceivable and unbelievable. It was neatly typewritten and signed an unprejudiced cannon. Anonymous letters as a rule addressed to this office are relegated to the waste basket, but in this instance, we recognize the fact that it would mean to a prisoner confined in this prison to let it be known that he dared complain; as it would mean a period in the dungeon, and other conditions he would possibly be subjected to. We therefore took the matter up with this large and growing organization, the Lincoln League of America. This organization will take up the investigation of these charges and use its big efforts to establish the facts as this letter indicates, will seek relief from this brutal condition obtaining at the state prison. The letter follows and it will be noted the communication was received quite thirty days ago. We have delayed in publication until we could present the letter to an organized body and now as there is a movement to investigate we will also take in our confidence the people of California, and let them have an insight into the problems which from time to time come before us. The "Soorting Eagle" ever is a bea con fight even to the prisoner in chains in his dungeon and even tho' this mes sage reaches us by dubious ways by the underground railway, in this forum and presence we give him the opportu tunity to state his case. "Represa, Califf, August 18, 1924 "Editor J. B. Bass, On Wednesday 13th inst. B. Dillhay, whose jaw bone has rotted and the poison thereof having permeated his system was on the dentist's line awaiting to be called for a treatment prescribed by the dentist as a possible means of preventing an operation. The porter, a colored man, highballed Dillhay to enter the dentist's office. This is the porter's duty. Captain Larkins seeing the porter do this, ran forward and shouted: "What the g——6——h——, one niger highbailing another nigger into a white man's office, etc." Dillhay said: "As you know the condition of my jaw and the orders of the dentist, why do you stop me, why do you call me a nigger?" "Why you are nothing but a black nigger, don't you like it? I'll knock your g——brains out. I'll put you in the dungeon." Capt. Larkins said. Dillhay said, "If you put me in the dungeon I'll report the matter to the Board why you put me there." An argument followed. Larkins called a colored man, (Merrit, 12915) and asked him if he got mad when he was called a nigger. "Is there any harm in calling a colored man a nigger?" Twenty men, black and white heard this; their names we have. This matter Dillhay took up with the warden. The warden put Dillhay in the dungeon notwithstanding his diseased condition. He is not receiving any treatment and death is imminent unless he is attended to and that immediately. The warden says he is an agitator; although Capt. Larkins admitted to the warden that he did say: "One bigger highbailing another bigger into a white man's place, etc." This net of the warden's is his usual way of approving of the brutalities reported. Three days prior to this barely inflicted on Dilhayi this man Larkin abused a colored man (Shepard) in the same way for a criminal offense. He had taken medicine, to leave the mean ball for the inventory. A trade of shoes was inflicted on him and he was put in the dungeon for 15 days. Captain Larkin trapped a colored man in the stomach, ruptured him. The doctor had to apologize to him later the anesthetic. The much was given, and the man died on the table. I am merely skimming the mass of brutal evidence that is practiced here, and apparently with impunity. Of course you will be skeptical of what I relate, thinking such cannot go on without prosecution. A few months ago the warden and others took 13 men out at night, put sacks over their heads, beat them unmercifully, made them dig graves which he said he was going to bury them in. The men who were thus treated still wear the scars. They are Harry Willis, Shorty Miller, Louis Allen, James Wilson, etc. These men will give the names of all and the other details which space hinders me from mentioning. All these men are Caucasians. Frank Barton, 11322 took various brutalities practiced here, up with Assemblyman Roberts. For divulging this information to Roberts, his life is in danger. Plots have been told to kill him. Mr. Roberts led him on to talk in the presence of grudges rather than demanding a private audience which Mr. Roberts' position allowed him. Mr. Roberts has never offered to protect him from the brutish treatment he knew would come of such exposure. Cannot you, Mr. Bass give some publicity to these cruelties; get some one interested to the extent of calling here and get a verification (if you're doubtful) and do something to mitigate if not abolish such enormities? The Jewish society protects, intercedes for the Jews; and "believe me" all the Jews are kowtowed to. But seemingly, the colored men are shunned by the colored men of position who can see that they get justice. The warden evidently "bulls" all who have interceded. He was a guard here in San Quentin for 14 or 15 years. He is calloused and mortally unfit. He smiles at Jewdness and has been known to say of men who protested that: "He is a catamite, sodomite or anthroperesophagus", which ever degenerate comes to his mind. If not one of these, he claims he's an agitator. Whenever a colored person visits here he thinks will advertise him, he has instructed his hirelings to 'bow and smile to them. Nearly all seem to be susceptible to his childish sycophancy. (Bull). If the representative colored people feel indifferent to colored men in prison; are afraid to intercede for fear of being classed "all the same"; then tomorrow these men will be released and their acts contracted by prison brutality. will be such a nature as to embarrass you more than the fact that they are now just unfortunate prisoners. Judge Hardy of the Superior Court of Los Angeles is interested in prisons. Give him a copy of this, unless you back up your appeal to the Governor and the board of directors you may as well not write either, for they have put their O.K. on the warden, as he is an economist. He conducts the prison under the budget, by feeding beans and underclothing the men. This is competency regardless of the diseases, deaths and chronic ailments due to poor food, etc. If you will have any one call or yourself any of the men herein mentioned will verify all that I say. Keep their names a secret unless you can give them protection. Please notify Mra. M. Dillah, 1852 E. 54th Street, Los Angeles, of her son's condition. Do no at once and tell her to come at once. AN UNPREJUDICED CAUCASIAN CONVICT BIG KANSAS FIESTA SEASON'S FEATURE AFFAIR The Kansas Fiesta to be given at Wesley Chapel, 9th and San Julian, on Sept. 22, is: at intended in any wine to paint you the picture of the early 60's—those daily drive but going to portray the present achievements of our group. This Fiesta is given by the Kansas, entertaining all other states. It promises to be interesting from the opening until the end. Every Kansas is expected to be funni- Girl As goes the State of Maine, so goes the Nation. The Main election which precedes the Presidential contest has, for years, been looked upon as the political barometer for that contest. The governorship benign local was a negligible contest, but the Senatorial and congressional outcome was watched with interest. Well its over and if Maine is the barometer, Coolidge will succeed himself as president of these United States for Republicans have made a clean sweep. The Klan issue was worked overtime, but an analysis of the vote will show some very disconcerting things. Sections strongly Catholic and others with a decided Protestant population give no indication of a Klanish solid vote. W. J. Bryant, the great Commoner, is in California seeking to create sentiment for the Democratic ticket. Seeing Mr. Bryant brings to mind an incident which occurred during the Wilson administration and during the time that Bryan was Secretary of State, and gives an insight of his religious prejudice. The late Bishop Walters was a great admirer of the late President Wilson and with the late J. Frank Wheaton of New York, was instrumental in carrying over to him a considerable Negro vote. Wheaton was stated for the Liberian post, and his commission was about to be signed, when the Secretary, Bryan, as a seeming after thought turned to Wheaton and asked, "Of what religious belief are you, Mr. Wheaton?" "Catholic, sir," Wheaton replied. "Sorry, but I hear that we have nothing a Catholic can do in Liberia" was the verdict of the Secretary of State. James Curtis, law partner of Wheaton, was given the post. He died in Africa. There is a bitter contest on in the State of Tennessee. The old White Republican, have captured the machinery of the State and ousted Bob Church and his supporters from the councils of the party. There bide fair to be a regular "Kilkeny" time, and it is going to tax the diplomacy of the national Republican leaders to bring order out of the chaos created by the assumption of authority which the "Lillies" have taken. We are afraid that the Tennessee affair will have a far reaching effect as far as the Negro vote is concerned. It will be a very hard matter for Simmons, Johnson and the other party leaders to stem the debacle to LaFollette unless dramatic measures are taken to dam the break which has let loose the flood of racial prejudice. We are afraid that over confidence will lose the State of California to Coolidge unless the State Campaign management wake up and recognize that there is a potent factor in the Negro vote of the State. We want that vote recognized by the appointment of capable men on the Advisory Board. There seems to be a tendency to listen to paler of any irresponsible who terms himself or herself leaders and moulders of opinion. If the Campaign managers will listen to a little advice from those in whom the major portion of the people place confidence, all may yet be well. It is too bad that too many cooks spoiled the political broth in one of the Assembly fights down in Los Angeles. It was ever thus: too bad that at the crucial moment we can not let aside personal ambition especially when we know that it is a "Dog in the manger" act, and spells success for opponents. It looks mighty fine for a Nesro congressman from New York and Illinois. The State of Nevada has put the Egyptian "Valley of the Kings" off the front page. King Tutt and his tomb are in the modern age abode of the Nevada pre historic discovery. We will not be surprised if they find the skeleton of Adam means the rib which gave us the Hra'v, thereby writing forever the most question of the Garden of Eden. We always did believe that California was somewhere near the Garden of Paradise. Sed by weeping the Sunflower below. All other states will blind you your flower or bead, and sit in a group, make the natural argument a success, thereby swelling the Bashkir Fund of Second Baptist Church. Scipio A. Jones Elected Chancellor in Arkansas Court (N. A. A: C. P. Press SERVICE Scipio A. Jones, prominent colored attorney of Little Rock, Arkansas, was elected as Special Chancellor in the Pulaakol Chancery, Court, Arkansas, the second highest court in that State, on Saturday, August 30th, according to a telegram to Mr. William Plekena, made public by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York. This is the first time in the history of the South, so far as is known, and possibly in the United States, that such an honor has been paid to a Negro lawyer. Mr. Jones has had an eminently successful career as a member of the Arkansas bar, his outstanding achievement being the successful defense of the victims of the Phillips County, Arkansas Riots of October 1919, in which cases were fought dagged by Mr. Jones through all of the Arkansas courts and through the United States Supreme Court where he was associated with Mr. Moorfield Storey. These cases, it will be remembered, established a new precedent in American legal procedure in that the decision gained in the United States Supreme Court acted not only as a reversal of the Arkansas court but, in effect, was a reversal of the Supreme Court itself. In the case of Frank vs. Mangum, the famous Leo Frank case, 237 U. S. 309,335, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal court had no right to interfere in a trial even though it was shown that the trial of an appellant was dominated by a mob. The decision in the Arkansas Cases gained through the argument of Mr. Moorfield Storey based on the splendid records in the Arkansas Courts made by Mr. Jones, the Supreme Court ruled that even though a lower court has given the outward semblance of a trial, if it can be shown by an appellant that such lower court was so terrorized by mob domination that but one verdict could have been rendered, then the federal courts are obliged to furnish corrective processes. Louis Marshall of New York, one of the great American authorities on constitutional law, who was attorney for Leo Frank at the time of that decision, wrote the N. A. A. C. P: "I regard it (the decision) as a great achievement in constitutional law. Due process of law now means not merely a right to be heard before a court, but that it must be before a court that it not paralyzed by mob domination". The N. A. A. C. P. has extended its congratulations to Mr. Jones for the honor which has come to him in recognition of his great services as a lawyer. James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who made the first investigation and expose in 1920 of the American occupation of Haiti, today made public the text of a letter he had written to the New York Sun in reply to an editorial printed in that paper on August 28th which attacked Oswald Garrison Villard for declaring before the Institute of Policies at Williamstown, Mass, that "the blood of 3,000 Haitians slain by our American Marines **** dishonors our good name." The Sun declares editorially that Mr. Villard was wrong in that only 1,132 Haitians were slain and further charged that these were bandits killed by the marines. Mr. Johnson points out that Major-General George Barnett, former Commander of the Marines in Haiti, admitted on October 23, 1920 that 3,250 Haitians were killed and that he further "regretted to report" that there "were many unlawful indiscriminate killings". Mr. Johnson also pointed out that these slain Haitians were not bandits for they were fighting against the unlawful seizure of their country and further declared that "the America of 1776 would have called them patriots, not bandits". Mr. Johnson's letter in full reads: September 4, 1924 To the Editor of the Sun:— In an editorial in the Sun of August 28 you dispute a statement, made by Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard before the Institute of Politics that "The blood of 3,000 Haiaians slain by our American Marines *** dishonors our good name". You correct the statement by saying that the number was only 1,132 and that they were a part of 17,000 bandits whom the marines found murdering peaceful Haitians and devastating forms. When the exposse of our policy of occupation was first made Major General George Barnett, former Commandant of the Marine Corps reported, on October 23, 1920, that the number of deaths was 3,250. He regretted to report there "were unlawful and indiscriminate killings." In hearings held later by a Navy Board enough of these deaths were thrown out as "unofficial" to reduce the number by half. But are not 1,132 enough to sustain Mr. Villard's point of view, when you consider that in the "bloody battles" with these desperate and well-armed bandits less than twenty marines lost their lives? Does that look like war or slaughter? I was in Haiti and I know that the statement that our marines found 17-900 bandits murdering peaceful Haitians and devastating farms is not true. Thes eso-called bandits were engaged in a futile attempt to defend their native soil where they had lived for more than a hundred years as an independent people. The America of 1776 would have called them patriots, not bandits. (8d) JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Secretary National Association for The advancement of Colored People. Mrs. W. P. Brown of 2020 E.

"The A. M. E. Zion Church lays aside Denominationalism in its Missionary Program".—Rev. H. T. Medford, editor. * Washington, D. C., Sept. 14.—Zlon Church recently set aside $25,000 for Home Mission Preachers and sends out a general invitation to young men, graduating from Seminaries and otherwise prepared to join in the ranks of intensive and extensive missionary endeavor. As it is not mainly an effort to swell its own numbers but a drive for the Kingdom and for increased religious activities among the Negro race, young men and women, regardless of their denominational training will be acceptable.

Three boys were baptised and joined the church. Bethel now numbers 65 adults and 18 children. Total membership more than 100 pupils.

We entered heartily into the Bible School with a good line of officers and teachers present, the subject being, "Jesus driven from Nazareth", St. Luke 4:16 to 30th verse, and there was a wonderful discussion. At 11:20 A. M. the minister. Bro. Williams, took for a text the 18th verse of the fourth chapter of St. Luke "The Spirit of the Lord is no nme, because He hath annotied me to preach the gospel to the poor.

The pastor preached the sermon in the morning and the men tried themselves in their evening program. Many of the women went away crest fallen because they felt that the men had put the standard too high for them to reach. Others went away determined to excel and a real rivalry may be expected this Sunday. Come and see. Fully reports of the men and women will be made Sunday night. Come and see. ST.

Brooks, Pastor The Sunday School was well attended with an addition of two visitors. The lesson, Jesus Driven Out of Nazareth, was very impressive and interestingly instructed. At the morning service the pastor preached. Text: "Am I my Brother's Keeper." The object in his text was the dangerousness of jealousy and just how much the condition of our heart has to do with the appearance of our faces. B. Y. P. U. lesson was based upon Paul's instructions to the church at Corrinth. At the evening service, Rev. Dent, Ass't. Pastor to Rev. Marshall preached on the plans of salvation.

Our attendance is not quite up to standard. Come out and be with us in Sunday School. Make it the success it ought to be. "When the cat's away the kittens will play." This is an old and quite true saying, but don't let us make it true with our church attendance. We should not stay away from church because our pastor, if away. Come out and help our associate pastor do his duty. He M. a strong man but he needs the help of our members. His morning text was: "The Bible and What It Means to us." It was a wonderful lesson.

Martin, Pastor At the 11 o'clock service the pastor preached from the 8th chapter of Mark and the 9th verse—"For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul." His subject was "The value of a Man's Soul, the Profit and Loss." Pastor Martin dwelled on the demand that was made and ransom that was given, and that Jesus paid it all. The price he paid has never been estimated by man. And God, and Him only, know that value of a human soul but he said, "We do know that Jesus said, whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whoseover shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospel's, the same shall be saved, for there is nothing a man can give in exchange for his soul. At 8 p. m. Rev. Fleming of the Massadonia Baptist Church, Watts, brought us a message, taking for his text: John 3:2—Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles that thou doeth except God be with him." Having for his subject: "Seeing God Through Man." Rev. Fleming brought to us a burning message, filled with the power and Holy Ghost as he recounted God's mighty deeds. "For no man can do these miracles that thou doeth except God be with him." Rev. E. Z. Martin said God was truly with us, when he voiced the sentiments of the Church. And our little token given Rev. Fleming was, graciously received, but in turn he said, I am going to pass it on to the inmates of the Old Folks Home. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH 50th and Hooper Avenue Sunday morning and evening's service were well attended. Someone expressed the atmosphere that is existant in the church in the phrase "It seems to me as if Jesus has passed through our church and changed, it entirely." Sunday morning. Rev. C. B. Dones who has charge of the services gave an interesting exposition on the subject: "Ye must be born again." Sunday evening, the members and friends felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and were eager to tellt. Many strong and beautiful testimonies as to the love of the Saviour were made. Rev. Dones will preach again Sunday. Come and worship in Zion. A cordial welcome awaits all. At 8:30 last Sunday morning a crowd of young men were out to Cadet practice. Mr. Chas, Edwards, Capt. with M.

While service under this board always means infinitely more than being a "collector of finance" for missions, and I am graftified in the knowledge that the program of our work has in no sense been slighted; otherwise, I reslice, however, for the splendid success in monies raised from my talks. Especially, since the Southern Convention (White) is contributing one dollar for every dollar thus raised by our Colored Board. Unforeseen Providence, ever which I had no control, has prevented me from attending the meeting of our Convention in Nashville, Tennessee as I had promised to do last week, but I feel that is will be interesting to the patrons of my year's work to know, that I was able by registered special mail to send down to the Board, my annual report for the twelve months' work, $1,704.67. (This has been reported monthly to Mr. W.F. Lovelace, the Secretary at the Home Office in Wynne, Arkansas.) To the Lord I ascribe the victory! And I can not find words adequate to express my thankfulness to the kind friends who were by their generosity, His human agency in accomplishing the stunt. It is my idea that in the near future, with the assistance of my dear Mrs. Willis, I may publish a bulletin, booklet or pamphlet of some sort contain- a story of my years work on the Coast, with a list of the donors, which comprises an interesting collection of thrills and climaxes, almost unthinkable. Again, thanking every one, for every smile and handshake or penny. Sincerely yours for the work. (Miss) SIDNEY J. DAVIS.

Business of importance. All members are requested to be present. By order of The Executive Committee. THE BIG GOBPEL-TENT 23rd and Central Avenue Sunday night, September 21st promises to be another interesting gathering at the BG TENT. Ab this service the sermon entitled "How to prove that the Minister's Message is true". And every church goer in t he chtity should hear this straight, clean cut discourse by Evangelist P. G. Rodgers who believes that whenever a preacher gets up to say something he should have proof for his message like the Ministers of Bible days. Evangelist Rodgers holds that in this age many teachers and creeds there ought to be an unmistakable method to determine the truth from any error that might lie beneath the little truth spoken and he will tell just how to prove whether the Minister's message is false or true GwJesa Charit thSFAge; false or true.

Southern White Man Writes Frankly Of Southern Oligarchy (N.A.A.C.P. Press Service) William H. Skaggs, a white Alabamian, has just published by the Devin-Adair Company of New York, "The Southern Oligarchy", which is certain to attract considerable attention and to arouse widespread controversy. The nature of the book can be gained from its subtitle which reads, "An Appeal in Behalf of the Silent Masses of Our Country Against the Despotic Rule of the Few." The purpose of Mr. Skaggs is stated in the very first paragraph of the first chapter where he says: Congressman L. C. Dyer of Missouri, author of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, severly scored the Ku Klux Klan in a speech delivered before the Lions Club of Washington on August 27, characterizing the Klan as an unparalleled stigma upon the American people, and an outgrowth of the lynching era in the United States. After telling in detail of the growth of lynchings in the United States and exploding the myth that all lynchings are caused by "the usual crime" Mr. Dyer declared: "Out of this era of lynching has grown this terrible stigma upon the American people, the Ku Klux Klan, which is persecuting people upon no other grounds than that of racial and religious prejudice. They have flouted our American laws and taken them into their own hands. If this nation is to endure we must put a stop to this menace". Mr. Dyer made a strong plea for the establishment of fraternal societies which would act to wipe out tracial and religious prejudices, especially in the National Capital. His plea, according to the Washington press, made a profound impression upon the members of the Lions Club. Mr. Dyer spoke at the regular weekly luncheon of the Club held at the Willard Hotel.

We were brought to this country and joined with its people, and what God hath put together let no man put asunder.'

In political campaigns the manager of the same are often hard to put at the many angles they must meet and overcome.

KU KLUX ON THE RUN. The Republican National Committee is perhaps waiting for LaFollette to shoot his bolt and then step in and put on the finishing touches for a victory to the G. O. P.

This proclamation took effect the 1st day of January, following its issuance by President Lincoln. Despite the handicaps thrown in the path of this people which were freed by the issuance of this historic document, they have made a progress unrivaled by that of any people on the face of the globe, ether in mediaeval, ancient or modern history. From nothing they could call their own 60 years ago, they today pay taxes on real and personal property to a valuation of more than two and a half billion dollars worth of property. They were turned loose one per cent ignorant, and today that ignorance has been reduced to less than 25 per cent. Colleges and higher institutions of learning are situated in all corners of our country. Chattels and slaves 60 years ago have graduated with highest honors from Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton and other high institutions of learning. They have graced the halls of Congress in legislative assemblies, served as Minister Plenipotentiary, Extraordinary to foreign countries, also on Commissons of State to foreign lands. This people, let loose from their chains 60 years only, have established business institutions, organized scores of banking houses, Insurance Companies, Building and Loan Associations, and delved deep into finance, and we submit that after all that no one should feel ashamed to belong to such a race as this and they should feel ashamed to belonging their Emancipation.

We note with satisfaction the re-election for the third term of J. Finley Wilson as Exalted Ruler of the Elks. His election is a testimonial worth while of appreciation for service well rendered. When our fraternal orders will reach the stage where they elect officers for their ability to put over the program of progress, rather than honor, they will get somewhere. Likewise we commend the order for the selection as auditor of our own highly efficient Littleton McDuff and will say it was a worthy honor conferred upon one who will fill the requirements of the position n all of its requirements. The announced action of E. Burton Ceruti's desertion to the LaFollette standard is a straw which should awaken the Republican cheftains to the importance of their task if they expect to hold intact the National Republican vote in the West. Mr. Ceruti has for years been one of the wheel horses in the regular line up of the party and his absence will certainly be felt. DON'T FORGET 1916 In 1916 even California was to be the president. We California could easily have only for a rock ribbed system worth while to the voters of In that election just en the expense of registration aization of neglect of voting Now n this campaign with before them, it looks like the paign Committees have ab Prominent Republicans like a party and supporting La Follette Clubs, n In 1916 even California played a big part in deciding who was to be the president. We thought then and think now that California could easily have been saved and Hughes elected only for a rock ribbed system in withholding any recognition worth while to the voters of our group in the far West. In that election just enough recognition so as to furnish the expense of registration and stirring up the people to a realization of neglect of voting, would have won that campaign. Now n this campaign with the history of the 1916 campaign before them, it looks like the National State and County Campaign Committees have absolutely fallen down on the job. Prominent Republica like Attorney Ceruti openly leaving the party and supporting La Follette. Men like Pitts and Grant organizing LaFollette Clubs, means, to counteract it, work must PAGE-SIX ELKS ACT WISELY be done. The National Committee appoints somebody as director of work among our group way up in Minnesota and lets it go at that. To say the least, "Nero fiddles while Rome burns." WILL. VS. FIRPO Harry Wills decisively beat the wild bull of the Pampas, Louis Firpo in every round of a 12-round fight. He knocked him down, had him groggy and at no time was he (Wills) in the slightest danger. The same man Firpo less than a year ago came within an eyelash of wresting the championship from Jack Dempsey; he knocked Jack Dempsey down and when he got up he knocked him clear out of the ring, Dempsey was in danger every second of the time. It therefore comes of bad grace for this same Mr. Dempsey to criticize as he has Wills' showing against Firpo. Wills did the thing he went in that ring to do and that thing was to beat Firpo. It was no fluke but a thorough planned battle and just why Dempsey and the sport writers are panning Wills can be discerned, when it is realized that they are fearful of another black champion should Wills and Dempsey meet; and all these knocks and criticisms are simply propaganda to prevent a championship bout between the champion and Wills.

It is a well known fact that the biggest families throughout the country are not of AMERICAN STOCK. Nearly every picture we see of a family of ten or more children is a shot of a shotless FOREIGN or UN-CAUSASIAN name." Negro leaders of thought, what is your answer to this rot? Who is an American? Is he exclusively a Caucasian? And is a Caucasian necessarily an American? That famous ethnologist, R. Pritchard, tells us that a Caucasian is an inhabitant of Caucasus, a mountain range occupying thisturbus between the Black Sea and the Caspian. He is o two independent groups, i.e., the Syro-Arabian or Semitic race and the Indo-European or Aryan race. The principal tribes of these are the Tshergesses or Circassians, Ossetes, Lesghians, Gebelians, Gabbeians, Tchichetnians, Tchichetnians. Are these people foreign to America, or are they not? Are Caucasus and America one and the same country? For further enlightenment of the ignorance of the writer of the above nonsense, we refer him to Vol. II of Rattel's "History of Mankind" (Hutler's Translation), pp. 534-545. --- --- ELL MORRIS, JR., the Distin- pear Tuesday Evening, Sept. urch, 21st and Naomi Ave. not only a sensation, but a will also appear. Ethnologically, a Caucasian may be an American, just as truly as may be a Negro, but here there are two fundamental difficulties with reasoning of the writer of the "Times" article one of which is IGNORANCE and the other PREJUDICE! WE do not guarantee always to give a fellow a good licking, but if he comes in our way with any of his rot and impudence and invites a thrashing we are here to lay on the lash. THERE never was a more opportune time for a girl of the proletarian class to press her suit for the hand of the Prince of Wales. The head of the British government, whose consent young Wales must first obtain before stepping outside of royal lineage for a wife, is a thorough-going plebian in the person of the dynamic Ramsay MacDonald. Why wouldn't the great Labor Premier say to the royal heir: "A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind!" "Go have your way boy, folks will fall in love, despite all your science of Eugenics and your logical laws of miscegenation." AS we read the advice of Jack Moonfixer to "thousands of young people who are in school," we laughed to ourselves, a tremendous, rollicking laugh. Just imagine the folly of a man volunteering a uniform prescription for successful studies to "thousands of young people" of varying shades of opinions, of differing habits and temperaments and with different hereditary and environmental backgrounds; and then gives this bombastic utterance as the authority therefor: "I unostentatiously state that the writer of these notes holds the scholarship record for one of our professional schools of very high rating." WE know that professional school "or very high rating." Jack and he met a number of its products before meeting you. With but two outstanding exceptions, we do not think a bit more of them than we do of you! "SELF-PRAISE is no recommendation." is a well-known adage. And it has no qualifications as to whether it is extententiously or unostentatiously volunteered. "LET ANOTHER MAN PRAISE THEE and not thine own mouth; a stranger and not thine own lips," wrote King Solomon without any qualifications whatsoever. And they teach this in theological schools, we are sure. WE happened to overhear some college students discussing your advice, Jack Moonfixer, and in the course of the argument this remark was released: "If Jack Moonfixer" holds the scholarship record of a professional school of very high rating, fate. deliver me from the fellow who made lower averages than he in that school as well as from the fellow who hailed from a school of low rating!" ! ! And we said-to ourselves, AMEN! HERE are some samples of the ENGLISH of a man who "holds the scholarship record for one of our professional schools of very high rating:" "The intellectual parrot who parades himself as a thinker and scholar HAS OVER-EMPHASIZED mere memory AND FORGETS that fundamental fact," etc. "Don't make the mistake of which NINE out of every ten students IS guilty!" "One of the WORSE deceived persons in the world." etc. "Our heritage is not a thing to SWELL UP and grow conceived OVER." STUENTS refuse to be advised—though willing to be personally advised by competent men and women—by folks who are prima facie scholars it failures! OUR ADVICE to you, Jack Moonfixer, is that you retreat at once to that professional school "of very high rating" and pursue the Greek-English course in its curriculum. If you get nothing else, get the English well be fore you volunteer advice to some of peritors. JOHN W. DAVIS jolted the Khan once more in his ener speech last week. It is, however, surprising that Mr. Davis is still clings to, that long exploded theory: "All men are created equal." Even the 18th century John Locke and his followers in France and England woke today "that all men are created in what? Not in moral, physical, economic and intellectual distinctions! Otherwise we shall quit our earnest, strivings in these directions at once! Mr. DAVIS averred that "in that language did the founders of this nation baptize the national child, in the name of a trinity of great ideals: man equality, personal liberty and popular sovereignty. And the man who believes in these things is an American—and no other man is." Very good! For a Frenchman, an Englishman, an Englishman or a Canadian not only believes in, but practises those things. There is a sharp distinction between gentle and strict and patient and astute Democratic nominee, whether designed or not made. It was the Apostle James who made this eminent observation: "Faith, if it hath not works is dead, being alone." ABRAHAM LINCOLN had a far sounder social and political theory when, in his famous Gettysburg address, he stepped from the "created equal" idea of Thomas Jefferson to his own "free and equal" idea. To be sure, "all men are free and equal" in their freedom. After that, brains and character, and merit by honest endeavor, are the only tests of classes and distinctions. And the man who does not believe in and practises these things is fundamentally, a social and political heretic-"and no other man is!" IT is only a stupid fellow who would ocmit himself in public print to a loose and hollow generality like this: "No matter how much you may know or how much you may think of your self; there is something wrong with you if you cannot hold your job." Rubbish! The holding of a job depends upon a variety of particular circumstances. Very often something is wrong with the job, or with the man who gives the job, and a fellow sur renders it because he doesn't hold it; or, certain students entirely militate against his continuing in it. In many cases (as in thousands of cases of students attending school and college) a job must be sacrificed, if it collides with the larger purposes of the holder, as when it 'irreconcilably clashes with his class_program or unduly drains his physical energies. AGAIN: "Outside of the relationship of parent to child or child to parent the law recognizes its financial responsibility." This is Jack Moonfixer's law; and we should like to ask him where did he learn it? We used to hear of "fire side lawyers," "village lawyers," "shyster lawyers," etc., but we are puzzled as to what kind of a lawyer he is in this instance. Would not you prefer being an "intellectual" lawyer? He is able to identify your utterances with some definite, original authority instead of an ASS who brays so often without identity as to the origin of his bray? We certainly would! AND depend upon it: a parrot is an absolutely accurate bird. There is no drawing upon his imagination for any- thing he says. He repeats noatng that cannot cannot be traced right back to an authoritative source. That's where he knocks a clown like Jack Moonfxer into the shade! WHEN you politely ask an individual a question and he returs no answer whatsoever, unless he is physically or mentally unable to d oso, he is ill-bred. WE shall await a definition of "failure" or a statement as to the measure of "success" before we write. We be in giving a fellow a clear and certain opportunity to vindicate his utterances. It is all very nice and sweet to talk about a "mere meddler" when you are dealing with your private affairs, Jack, but when you deliver yourself to the public you are just a little impudent—if you will understand—to think that you can say and do things to escape PUBLIC OBSERVATION by any kind of a cynical reflection about "a mere meddler". One of the most pitiable persons in life is that man who is so incorrigible in his blunders and mistakes that he is more fit to be called a BLOCKHEAD than an arrogant bigot. Experience has taught us that most women are: at best, deceitful, and we can, therefore, tolerate, and even excuse a little deceit in a woman of intellect and character; but from a silly deceitful, "two by four" social "high fever" with nothing but a CRAYFISH HEAD—good Lord deliver us! "Birds of the same feather flock to together." And so we are not surprised that Jack Moonfox has his worshippers and admirers! A GOOQ DIVINE THAT DOES NOT FOLLOW HIS OWN INSTRUCTIONS By: "Twinkling Star" A paragraph containing 63 lines, or just a fraction less than half an entire column of the "New Age Dispatch" recently appeared in Jack Moonfizer's "Common Sense" ramblings. Like a defeated, humiliated swordman whose legs have been completely severed and whose body is hue the shattered remnants of a once arrogant aggressor, he endeavors to force his head upwards, cursing and calling data opponents ill names. His anger over heats and surcharges his imagination which, as it runs riot, permits him to say every stupid thing ingeneral and not a sensible thing in particular. It is no compliment to a "mental pugilist" who has been punched out of the ring, to lie down in the slaughter which has overtaken him and call his opponents names. "Intellectual parrot", "practical failure", "intellectual underling", "conceited"—all such epithets may sound like music in the ears of him who broadcast them, but they read the awful lesson of mental weakness and incapacity on the part of a self-proclaimed leader of thought and literary Goliath. It is a tragic reflection on a man who was so generous to himself as to infer that he was possessed of "sufficient originality and genius to edit a column that will command attention." Although this paragraph has given us no new picture of the writer it has served to confirm the judgment of intelligent observers that the pen of the "Common Sense" column if our local contemporary is in the hands of a very tiny, narrow minded man who sets himself up as the all-sufficient judge of what are the minor and major things of human life as affecting individual tastes and personal ambitions. He chose theology and the Methodist Episcopal Church as things of major importance to him; some one else pursues literature and journalism as things of major worth to them, but he els has a blind bigot that, because he has no taste or appreciation for the choice of the other man, he refuses to see even with such an authority as St. Paul that, just as "there is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars"—just as "one star differeth from another star in glory"—he refuses to see even with personal glory in his tastes and aspirations; and what may be worth nothing to him, because of his dislike and distaste therefor, may be of immense valu eand importance to thousands of folks who would not care a snap of the finger for the line which he nurses. We are a little concerned about "the man or woman of learning who is a practical failure and whose chief stock in trade is a bundle of "conceit", since "failure" and "conceit" are relative terms, and cannot be measured by any generalization, whether from the dogmatic—though disordered and riotous—imagination of Jack Moonfixer or anyone else. His chief genius lies in the use of his imagination as the eternal source of all his information. There is not a statement in his 68 lines of incoherence of fact or logical reasoning. Every link swings itself from one dogmatic assertion to another and leaves him begining his questions step by step. 00" phrase and leaves them behind as shiftless relics of the backwoods, and when they try to sit on newly invented electric cars and automobiles, they find themselves so green—no raw—so unacustomed to any kind of a moving vehicle that they run amuck, smashing indiscriminately into everything, and everybody whom they chance to meet and abusing and natriizing others who, because of their "ox wagon" experience, are calmly adjusting themselves to the revolutions of the age. You, like others, Jack Moonfixer, are one of the "heirs of the best in all the ages". It is there for you to "build a greater heritage for those who follow"; and you can do it yourself or built? Dogmafishing in your usual manner you write: "No man has a proper approach to history unless he studies it with the hope himself of becoming an (sic) historian, or better still, a maker of history. He is an intellectual underling no matter who he is, who ignorantly permits himself to become only a literary receptacle when he has the opportunity of becoming a maker of literature. The only manly approach to the study of anything is that approach with a hope that some day we can produce the same thing or something better". We peep beneath this extract and, in fact, your entire paragraph of 68 lines and see a net work of bramblets as its prophethic which, with one kick of even an infant's pen easily falls to the ground with a hugh crash. As with most of your writings, this paragraph indicates that the basis of your whole life is that the first stig of arant prejudice and bigotry. You have no regard for facts and accurate information. Therefore, you get ahead of yourself and the private life of those whom you affect to criticise. It is no credit to your oft-boasted foresight and wisdom to assume that a man who employs his knowledge of history and literature (if that's all you can see in his attacks) in smashing you today entertains no hope of producing anything originally similar to or better than his own. You know nothing of his personal ambitions and have no present means of determining his future life. There is no shame on the man who is presently grinding and struggling to fit himself for future service that he criticises you and yet produces nothing for the time being. The shame and laugh of your own observations are on you who are supposed to have done your work of preparation and are out on the sea of toil parading the Master of Arts and Doctor of Divinity degrees after your name, and having at your command a wealth of time and abundant opportunity for improvement and original production. We have heard you praised by excusable ignorance as a "great leader", a "great man" and a "scholar", but we have seen you, amid all this glamor of would-be greatness; produce nothing. If your degrees mean anything, you must have rea dand studie dhistory, but what history have you written—what great deed in history have you wrought? According to your loud trumpeting, you have read from Browning, Emerson, Dante, Shakespeare, Byron, Milton and every other literary producer under the sun! What literature have you written, and what have you in coursé preparation? As an infatuel representative of the oasis Episcopal Church, our major Episcopal church and Religion (though you have elected to dabble in Journalism); what theological and religious books are there to your credit? Shouldn't you be another Jeremy Taylor, another Spurgeon, a greater Cunningham Geike, Park Cadman, Fosdick, Dean Farrar or F. B. Meyer? You are a student of the bible. By persistently studying it you are enabled to quote, as you often do in per sermona, quite glibly from it. Will you concede the fact that you are a biblical parrot? More than that: As a biblical "receptacle", what new Bibles have you made, and what hope do you cherish of making any? Looking at you through the mirror of your own argument, your intellectual life is a barren, sterile and empty spectacle. In short, it is a colossal, gigantic and dismal failure. It is evident that you did not study ANYTHING, or, that if you did you pursued none of your studies with a "Manly Approach". 18 WILL LEWIS OF BOSTON PEEVED Republican Leaders Swinging Behind Racial Vote Chicago, Sept. 9. (By the Associated Negro Press) William H. Lewis, of Boston, announced in the New York Tigues. Democrat, a few days ago that he proposes to support the ticket of Davis and Bryan, rather than the ticket of Coolidge and Dawes, Observer. ers are wondering whether Lewis is nursing a personal peeve in striving to put his all against the terrors of the degenerating Klux. Lewis comes from Massachusetts, the state of Calvin Coolidge, Republican nominee for President of the United States. Lewis is a graduate of Harvard, and likewise of Amherst, the alma mater of President Coolidge. The records show that Lewis has on occasion expected to inspect the property to President Coolidge at the White House, been cordially received, as other good American citizens. For a number of years he has not been in "active politics", whatever that may mean. Prior to the naming of a director of the division of Colored voters the name of Lewis was discussed along with that of many others. It is understood on high authority that there is a date late in July from Lewis in which he urges his fitness for the position of Director of racial voters. Now, since Attorney William C. Matthews of Boston, also a Harvard man, and having offices in the same building that Lewis holds forth in Boston, has been named for Director, is Lewis sore, and getting back at the party that brought his out of obscurity in this matter. SPRT PAGE CALIFORNIA EAGLE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES ANOTHER VICTORY FOR ALL STARS Fagen's Single Drives In Winning Run For Mates And Gives All Stars Sixth Straight Win The Eastman Tigers were brought to Goodyear Park for a return engagement with the expectation of giving the All Stars a real battle and that little thing they did nothing else but. After nine tense innings the home club was returned a winner by one lone run, the final score being 3-2. The All Stars were verf fortunate in bringing home the bacon and lady luck perched on their shoulders the entire afternoon. Rangle was on the mound for the Mexican champions and with Slowtime staged a pitchers' battle that was rivaled only by the excellent fielding of their teammates. Two of the runs off Rangle were the result of Rangle's own errors. Two bad throws to bases and a wild pitch were chalked up against Rangle by the official scoreer. The other run was due to Pagan's timely hitting and excellent base running by Butcher. The All Stars played errorless baseball. The score by innings follows. trying to take second.

MY EXPERIENCE AS A MANAGER HOW I MADE THE ALL STARS A WINNING CLUB I will first say that the club played in the Summer League and didn't win a game. Jasper came to me and asked if I could take the team over and make a winner out of it. I told him. I did not know but that I would try. I played a game with them and right then I saw what the trouble was. Then I was made manager. The Club wanted me. I haven't been manager long enough to get used to the idea. But I think I like it. He told me not to worry. He was right. There's enough real trouble in the world without looking for imaginary bothers. Its a pretty strenuous job and it takes all your time. So long as a manager is blamed when a club loses. It is only justice, I suppose to give him credit when a club wins. There's always credit enough to go round in such cases. Both players and managers can get their share of what is coming to them if each gives full credit to the other. As soon as we started to win people began to ask, how did we do it. I suppose that's a natural question but its not an easy one to answer. I believe the real explanation is the fact that the ball club developed a determination to win. When a club really does this and mean it, they are a hard club to beat. That was what this club needed when I took it over. I suppose some of the boys are hitting a little better now but on the other hand the boys have learned more about the game and believe in me, and with all of us hustling, we will beat the best of them. They say I possess all the sterling qualities of a real baseball leader. One thing I try to have a cool way of commanding respect from the players and at the same time getting the best work out of them. I'll say come out and look at them now and see the difference in the club. BOR FAGEN. BROOKINS APTS. Two room apartments, all furnished. Hot and Cold Water, 017 East, Ninth Street, Mt. and Mrs. C. O. Brooking Proprietors, Ninep San Pedro Street Phone: MAIn 6229 TENNIS CHATTER Crow City Boys Won Double Victor Labor Day—Two Harrises Mixed Double Charm—Menu Among some of the unique features of the Seventh Annual Southern California a Championship Tournament which was held by the Westside Tennis Club, August 31 and Labor Day on the Castaic Country Club's championship cement court, were: the crowning of Pasadena's heretotefor pair of unknowns in men's doubles, James Stocks and Walter Timmon, two young chaps the most sensational performers developed in these parts in years: the discovery of a sweet little member of the Racquet Wielkens Tennis Club Thelma Overton almost upset the unbelievers in championship Juliaette's opponent to even give her attic opposition, but the little new comer crushed her way into a 10x2 loss in her second set with the champion after losing the first 6x3 which is something unheard of against Miss Harris' usual terific victories. Then when the Pasadenan Jimmy Stocks battled his way to his second championship in the men's singles after smashing through the near greats including the brand new Compton High School phenon handsome Johany Wood in the finals the onlookers were badly shaken up. Men's Singles—Johnny Wood defeated Eddie Carliile 6x4, 6x4. Phillip Davis cleaned Walter Timmop 9x7, 6x3. The once great Eddie Harris danced to Johnny Wood's music 6x0, 4x6, 7x3. Eddie Myers took another new comer into camp. Clarence Lay who is tall and rainy and looks to have a future 6x3, 6x1. Jim Stocks walked over old man Josephus Oliver the latter's wife being present notwithstanding 9x7, 6x1. Then Wood scaled Little Phil with ease 6x1, 6x1. Crown City's idol Jim Stocks chucked Myers into the scrap heap 7x5, 6x4. Then James Stocks won the kingship by scrubbing devk with John Wood in a hot three set clash 6x4, 6x2. Men's Doubles—The Pasadena young bloods Jimmy Stocks and Walter Timmon lit on two of our beloved old timers and cleaned up Ballinger Kemp and Joe Oliver 4x6, 7x5, 6x1. The two Pacific Coast Champions 1924 Eddie Harris and Eddie Myers were completely submerged by the Pasadienians Stocks and Timon 6x4, 7x5. Phil Davis and Wood took all vim, vigor and vitality out of Bill Tatum and Ed Carlisle 6x0, 6x1, and then they lost the championship to the Crown City "Gold Dust Twins", Stocks and Timmon 2x6, 6x2, 6x4. Mixed Doubles—It required three sets for Eddie Harris and Juliaette Harris to crush wee Davis and Thela Overton 6x3, 6x8, 6x3. Then they had a still harder time extracting the championship from Eq Myers and Verna Stratten 5x7, 6x4, 6x4. Ladies' Singles-Juliaette Harris came near losing her first set since entering the game when she defeated Thelma Overton 6x3, 10x8. Then she won her twelfth championship in two years by defeating Verna Stratton 6x3, 6x2, wining every match in which she appeared. Fed Meets At Palm Inn Oct. 1 President Edward Carlisle announces that the Western Federation of Tennis' Clubs will hold its next meeting at the new and very popular Palm Inn 1249 West 36th Street corner Raymond Avenue. Wednesday evening 8 P. M. October 1st. All members of all six clubs are expected to be present. Let's make it one hundred per cent. FIGHTERS AND FANS How many of you fans that have ever gone to a prize fight and watched the people around the ring fighting those sitting next to them, hollering to the fighters what to do, and how to do it? And when to do it? How many of them would be champions if they ever entered the ring? If you win the fight you did so through their efforts telling you what to do. If you lose, you do so by not doing what they told you. Still If you win, you would have won sooner by doing what they said quicker. They seem to think the game is all give and take. Instead its put and knock. You put your chin in the way, and they will knock it off. Hit him in the stomach. Hit him there and here, are some of the cries you hear. But the other fellow has ears and hands and can protect his body. Maybe as well as you can, and if his stomach is not covered up, it will be so as soon as you start to hit him there. If he has any sense. Boxing doesn't all consist of standing in the middle of the ring and swinging away at the other fellow, and doing more damage to the air, than anything else. But a toe to toe slugging match will bring the applause quicker and more often than a real clever match would. I've seen really clever boots and cat hol尔尔. But if you will notice it always the ones in the rear or pigeon reost that make all the noise and half of them don't know an uppernt from a right cross.

Football also approached hand in hand with school. The various coaches have centered their attentions to those aspiring to play the game.

Completing a four day engagement in the Southern City 'Steppin', High' will turn north to San Francisco stopping at Santa Barbara for one night en route and opening at the Capitol Theatre, Friday night, September 26, for an unlimited engagement. The company will travel in a special car and carry two baggage cars of equipment. Practically the entire personnel that has appeared at Philharmonic will make the northern trip. From San Francisco the show will continue North and then East from Seattle into the middle West. HAZEL MEYERS Stars may come and stars may go but none will leave as excellent reputation for loveliness and sweetness as Miss Hazel Meyers. Suffering from a hoarseness that she contracted the Friday night before the opening of "Steppin' High" and singing under that very serious handicap, Miss Meyers has gone quietly along her way displaying an even temporament that would do justice to an old fashioned quaker girl. Just a real little lady is the expression that has been applied to and fits Miss Meyers perfectly. Miss Meyers has said that she sings because she loves to sing and we believe her. She works as diligently as the most ambitious chorus girl and puts her soul into every word of her songs. Readers of this page may be surprised to know that Miss Meyers has not always been a Blues singer. Her voice she says was once a high soprano. The demands of the Record Companies for only "Blues" numbers sung in that popular heavier voiced way, caused Miss Meyers to pitch her voice lower with the result that it is now a contralto. Charlie Chaplin would like to play Hamlet and Miss Meyers would rather sing a larger variety of lighter numbers but like the comedian, Chaplin, she must serve the public's demands. Miss Meyers is very pleased with her royal reception in Los Angeles and promises to return here and make this city her home. THOSE WHO MADE "Steppin' High" Messrs Smith and Petrie organized and headed the company that put up the money necessary to produce "Steppin' High". William E. (Billy) Pierson produced and staged "Steppin' High". He accepted the position of producer and is responsible for "Steppin' High" being either good or bad. Too much credit can not be given Thurston Briggs for the assistance he gave Billy Pierson in staging Steppin' High. The modest title of dancing master and the very small part in the Revue does not give the theater goers an idea of how valuable Thurston Briggs has been to Steppin' High. Webb King is another backstage hero who is doing but little of the clever acting that has made him a big favorite in Los Angeles. Webb however, is Pierson's right hand man and is also in charge of the wardrobe. BILLY PIERSON PRODUCER BILLY PIERSON PRODUCER Just who is Billy Pierson who produced and staged "Steppin' High"? Well Billy is none other than the original William E. Pierson who claims Los Angeles as his home altho it is an adopted one. Those of you who have been around Los Angeles for the past ten or fifteen years know Billy as the youth of large proproportions who used to stage amateur theatricals hereabouts with various degrees of success. Bill always wanted to be a sort of a Belasco and produce those heart rending dramas so in 1918 after absorbing much drama atmosphere in the gallery of the Burbank theatre he wrote and produced a play called "A Slave of the Tenth Century". This play was presented at the old Elks Hall on South Spring and if the writer remembers correctly Bill was the leading man and his father the heavy. The writer does remember that he acted asprompt behind the scenes and acted as life line to the elder Pierson who forgot his lines. Some time after this Pierson formed the Junior Stock Company and wrote and produced a number of plays with juvenile actors up to the year of 1913. While attending Polytechnic High School in 1912 he won a prize for the best dramatic effort of the senester. "The Brute" was his sketch in which he played the title role and was supported by John McLemore, now deceased and Webb King of "Steppin' High". In 1913 Pierson opened a dramatic school at Normandie and Jefferson and presented vaudeville in the auditorium. Lawrence Criner now a member of the LaFayette players, was one of Pierson's pupils. The year 1915 found Pierson looking for more promising fields for his acting and producing so he went to Bakersfield. In Bakersfield he married his present wife, Katherine Reese and soon after continued north to San Francisco to the World's Fair. It was here that he caught en with one of the numerous shows on the fair grounds and gained his first real professional experience in vaudeville. The draft caught Pierson in 1918 and he was sent to Camp Lewia. While there he staged one of the largest show ever given at the camp. William E. returned to Los Angeles in 1921 and in 1922 he organized the Pierson Producing Company with Gus Perkins and Johnnie Anderson. They produced "Chuckles" which ran two nights at Gamut Auditorium and one week at the Philharmonic Auditorium. It was during this engagement that Pierson got acquainted with Messrs. Smith and Petrie who are the managing directors of "Steppin High" Pierson got a lot of experience out of "Chuckles" even then he didn't make money. After "Chuckles" Pierson again headed north and this time joined "Struttin Along". With that success he was one of the principal commedians and stage manager. When "Struttin' Along" closed Billy returned to San Francisco and with William Mitchell organised a tabloid Revue "Mitchell's Strutters". The "Strutters" played down the coast to Los Angeles and after playing Southern California disbanded. When Messre. Smith and Petrie decided to stage a musical Revue, they sent for Billy Pierson and the result is "Steppin' High". Starting in August Pierson got his cast together and started rehearsing for the opening date of September 8th at the Philharmonic Auditorium and to his credit it may be said that the show was ready and waiting for the first curtain. STEPPIN' HIGH TO BE PRODUCED EVERY YEAR BY MESSRS. SMITH AND PETRIE By Jimmie Smith In an interview today, James V. Petrie disclosed the fact "Steppin' High" is to be a permanent company and that preparations are now being made for the 1925 edition of "Steppin' High". Continuing further, Mr. Petrie said that stage artists with international reputations would be in the 1925 cast. The above announcement should interest every theatre goer in the West who has the interest of Race performers at heart, and who enjoys clean and wholesome amusement. The phenomenon success now being enjoyed by the present "Steppin' High" Revue shows that the public of Los Angeles appreciates the efforts of Mr. Petrie and his associates and will rally to the support of any future production that comes under the banner of Smith and Petrie. Altho known to many patrons of Philharmonic as the managers of that playhouse and very capable in those positions, it was not known that they possessed the ability to supervise and successfully launch a production of the magnitude of "Steppin' High". "Steppin' High" is strictly a Los Angeles made Revue and was rehearsed and the scenery built on the Philharmonic stage under the immediate supervision of James V. Petrie. Perhaps the major part of the credit should go personally to Mr. Petrie because his co-producer, Mr. George L. Smith, was in the East during the building of "Steppin' High." Bill Pierson, Webb King and Jimmie Smith Steppin' High has once more united the three young men whose names appear at the head of this article. These three young men have been the producers and directors of, or actors in every important theatrical concert or moving picture produced in this city for the past fifteen years. Not all their efforts have been successes but the crowning success of Steppin' High due in a measure to their combined efforts proves that if you stick to a thing long enough you will succeed.

F. Spikes. The Brothers didn't know that they were to write the music for Steppin' High until the company had started rehearsal, but they took up their labors after others had failed and made Steppin' High a really tuneful show. Each song written for the special number it is used. There are some twenty-one songs used now, with four more to be added. Some of the: numbers used are "Sunshine Mae", "That Sweet Something Dear", "When A Woman Really Cares, She'll Find A Way", "Come On Sweet Papa Tell Your Mama What You o", "The Whole World Seems Wrong When You're Not With The Girl You love", "Diamond Joe", "Steppin High", "Love Why Are You So Hard To Hold", "I Told You So", "My Mammy's Blues", "Goodbye Lindy", "Chocolate Sammies always Do Their Bit", "Charleston Crave", "Hello Hazel", "Southern Serenade", "rifting Back Home", "Maybe Someday", "Celebration On The Plantation" and "You Are Not The Only One That's Lonesome".

If he wishes to learn he must certainly spend a number of hours a day in practice. This practice must conform as near as possible to the ideas that the teacher has given him. if the teacher says one thing and he does another he should not expect results. We earnestly advise every student to keep a memorandum in which he should write all the things that he can remember after coming from each lesson.

STUDIO Very often the teacher explains things in detail, but the pupil is inattentive, and most of it goes in one ear and out of the other, as it were. This is wasted time and effort of no benefit to teacher or pupil. Hearing good music performed by good performers is as essential to musical development as the lesson. In fact some schools require that all students attend a certain number of recitals and concerts. One reason there are so many egotistical persons who "know just enough to make them fools," is this fact that they never hear anyone who os their superior and they think that they know all there is to learn. A short course in the history of the lives of great musicians will cure me of this class of students and severe "tolism will either cure or kill the erknesier.

They are nivited into scores of towns because of the business activity stimulated by the establishment of one of their famous markets. People who have never realized the value of trading in their home town before will go down to Sam Seelig Co. for merchandise, and after trying the Seelig Market for culinary necessities they learn to drop into the local hardware store for that special hammer they need, or into the local dry-goods store for wearing apparel. They find that their own clothing merchants are up with the times, that most of them know the best Eastern markets, and "what is being worn this season." It becomes a habit for them to trade at home, even to visit the local dentists, the local doctors and the local stationer—Eagle Rock Senthel. 246 STORES NO M SEELI Cash is Kind ORNLA'S LEADING GRO ER-MINT S P BAN DELIG KING MING GROCER STORES NOW MACK SEMNETT STUDIO Del Lord Co.

You must first select a teacher in whom you have confidence. Give the teacher full control, do not dictate as to the kind of material he should use nor the method that he should pursue. If you are going to teach the child yourself why pay someone else? Co-operate with the teacher. Attend some of the lessons. Ask intelligent questions about the work. See that the child practices regularly and comes to the lesson regularly. These two things are absolutely necessary. Encourage good music in the home and convince the child that you are interested in his development by asking him to play for you his lessons. These few hints will certainly bring results of which you will be proud. CAMP MOTORS, Inc. AUTHORIZED DEALERS Business Vs Traffic Matters not how they try to settle matters the traffic problem will hot stay settled. No sooner has the committee deputized to investigate and report with recommendations their findings made such reports than out walks the ghost, the business interest, of that particular section that the committee's reports seem to aim at and destroy, in an effort to speed up traffic and the struggle is renewed. As serious as the traffic problem seems and is, it is taking on the appearances of a three joke. No sooner has one committee reported than the, council selects another, and sets aside anywhere from fifty cents to twenty thousand dollars to help said committee bring in another report to keep the problem hot. The one thing that they all agree on is something needs to be done. But the correct solution is yet to be discovered. The bible speaks of the second coming of Christ. Let us hope that in the interest of his coming if not for any other reason that the council and business may come together and find some permanent solution of this irritable subject that is making sinners out of thousands of Christians.

HUmbolt 6520 REPUBLICANS, PROTECTANTS, NEGROES AND THE KLAN The Ku Klux Klan issue is making it necessary for the Negro to do some real thinking, and may separate him in many cases from some of his erstwhile best friends. The Ku Klux Klan is a religious-political organization which has sworn enmity against all Catholics, Jews and Negroes. It is therefore not believable that any Negroes can support it. Now the Negroes are chiefly Protestants. There are very few Catholics among us; most of us are Methodists and Baptists. It is with a great deal of regret therefore that we see Protestants actively alligned with the organization against Negroes, who make up a large number of the Protestants membership. At least five million Negroes are Protestants in this country, of whom two million are Methodists. It is with a double regret that we note the activity of so many Methodist preachers in the Ku Klux Klan. Even in some parts of the North the activity of the Protestant ministers and particularly of the Methodist ministers in the Ku Klux Klan is most, pronounced. Thus the Negroes find themselves opposed by those who have here to forebeen their best friends. The same is true of the Negro in politics. The Negroes are overwhelmingly Protestant. To the Republicans they have shown gratitude be cause of the conspiration and in many cases the only argument which the Republicans have for their support is that they freed our fathers and grand-fathers. We note in some states that the Republican party is the most active advocate of the Ku Klux Klan. In the state of Indiana for instance, the Republicans are strongly in favor of the Klan while the Democrats are strongly opposed to the Klan. The same is true in Oklahoma. It is also true in the state of Maine, that the Democratic candidate for governor in against the Klan, while the Republican candidate is in favor of the Ku Klux Klan, which puts the Negro in a position of having to oppose those who have been here-to-fore called his friends. The activities of the Klan are so pronounced against the Negro that in those states and congressional districts where the Republicans have been so desected in their duties to the common interests of humanity as to line up with the Ku Klux Klan, the Negroes have no choice except to retrain from voting for the Republican candidate in such local contexts. We predict that the Klan issue do more to break the solidarity of Negro Republicans as we also fear that the Klan will do more to break up the solidarity of Negro Protestantism than anything we have yet known. —Christian Recorder.
