Ku Klux Monopolize Watts TELEPHONE: VAndike 9244 This open letter which we are publishing clearly demonstrates the attitude of the Klan at Watts. How long, Oh! how long, Lord, will the Negro suffer himself to be a political target? Watts, it seems, is almost solidly Ku Klux. Now Negroes who must play politics, should at least stay away from the Ku Klux political fold. We are not so narrow as to believe that all white people are bad, but when we read this secret letter that was captured by the Watts Police Department, and digest its contents, we are forced to believe that this organization is made up of the worst brand of whites, and while it talks much of Americanism, in spirit, it is dangerously un-American, unprincipled ad hellish. BIG TEN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE Our investigators are on the job twenty-four hours per day and we want to assure you that our office will leave nothing undone to bring to you and to your organization victory whenever "Little Oscar" can be forced to call an election.

W. PRICE, Imperial Representative, Realm of California 604 Seventh and Hill Building, Los Angeles, Calif., March 23rd, 19 We have taken steps to prevent the perfection of the appeal and we hope that we will be successful, though it must be remembered that Oscar has quite an extensive knowledge of the Recall Law. However, we have at our command several attorneys who are pledged to assist our organization in every possible way. I want to insist that you as my special organization follow instructions from this office. Remember that the committee that is working under your instructions must not know generally that you are represeting this office, because you have on your campaign committee all races, creeds, etc., which is advisable on account of the fact that you have such a large Negro population in Watts, and also a large Catholic vote. Nevertheless you can use these aliens to forward the ideals of Americanism and can consequently relegate them to the rear. We have a special confidential investigator who is working among the Negroes. He makes the following suggestions, which I heartily approve: Place Cochrane, Bragg and Doram in charge of the Compton avenue district, and place McDaniels, Douglas, Thomas and the Groceryman Robinson in charge of the Wilmington avenue district. Neither of these Negroes have any racial pride and very little brains. We are about to line up a Negro woman by the name of Spurlock and she will be able to help out. Side in with the music of Dago Reneto. He claims that he can dictate to the Negroes in his neighborhood. The influence of Negro Knox is waning, and will be easily killed if we can bring proper pressure to bear. Negro Bufford is wavering and might be bought over, though it will take much work to do so. Watch out for Oscar, Knox and Buford. They are much alive as yet. Knox uses the churches, but we are starting a fight against him in his own church and break his influence. We can trap Knox and Buford and break their influence. But great care must be used. This information must not be given out at any cost. We could plant a bottle of booze in an enemy's car and have on hand enough of the faithful to get a conviction before Judge Hunter or Wilson or some other of our fellow Klansmen who are pledged to give justice. And if these tactics fail, we can fall back on the old method of "a woman". The best way to get rid of our unprincipled antagonists is to make them leave Watts in disgrace. They will never come back. The Negro preacher Scott is a new man. He is a sleepy, pious man, and will hardly let politics be featured in his church. Cochrane is sure Scott can be kept quiet. The white people in Watts are tired of being run by people who are not 100% Americans. So if will be only necessary to corral the Negro vote. Manus must go. Oliver must be aided in every possible way. He may resign. He is disgusted. But faithful Klansmen will keep him in line and on the job. You will return these instructions to this office at once and not permit a copy to be made by anyone, under pain of expulsion. Faithfully yours in the Sacred Unfailing Bond, G. W. PRICE.

Comely as the expression seems, she commanded the respect of every one who came in contact with her. Many long for but few are able to reach that height of perfection in any given avenue that carries with it the stamp of greatness. As an authority on hair dressing she was unexcelled. Over 25 years of practical experience in that line during which time she worked in the best establishments, suprising, designing, and creating new styles stamps her perhaps the greatest in her line. Of late years the motion picture interests claimed her entire time and attention, and hardly any picture of any importance has been produced but which she has been a big factor in its success. The Covered Wagon is but one of the many pictures in which she helped to make pictorial history. All the hair dressing for this entire photo play was done by Madam Tabourne. Gloria Swanson, Agnes Ayres, Polo Negril, Mrs. Jack Dempsey, and dozens of other stars owe their success in a measure to Madam Tabourne. 1 So valuable were her services that she was signed up to a contract which still had a year or two to run. This is in as far as is known the only contract of its kind ever executed. The funeral was held on last Friday from the chapel of Conner and Johnson and hundreds stood outside with bared heads. The floral offerings were gorgeous and many and never before has the chapel held such an abundance. Many of the stars of the film world were present as well as business and professional acquaintances who had been customers of hers for years.

BLEDSOE That no man in the public eye in Los Angeles today has a more comprehensive understanding or more sympathetic viewpoint regarding labor's problems than former U. S. District Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe, candidate for the office of Mayor of Los Angeles, it was asserted yesterday by Joseph Scott, well known attorney and himself a stanch friend of the working ma for many years, who is a member of the general campaign committee of the Bledsoe For-Mayor organization. "Statements that he has made in his campaign speeches most certainly do not constitute a spacious, vote seeking plea, but are the natural outgrowth of years of study of the difficulties confronting the worker," Mr. Scott declared. "Proof of interest in this subject far ante-dating any political activity may be found in numerous court decisions. One of these—and it is a fair sample or many—is contained in a decision handed down in 1918, in which Judge Bledsoe said: "Labor may organize itself—has a perfect right to organize itself. In my judgement as an individual it is its duty to organize itself into some instrumentality by which it may protect itself." In this same decision on the judge also said: "—as I know that I am a friend, not only of labor, but of organized labor—" "Further evidences of Judge Bledsoe's outstanding place in the world of thinkers who have given and are giving unremitting attention to the problems of the worker are found in his address, delivered before a statewide conference held at San Diego in 1923, when his presentation of his beliefs and his recommendations, evidently the result of intensive study of the problem, resulted in his opinions being widely quoted and universally respected—and by none more than leaders of labor. In this address he said: "The genuine sons and daughters of toll must have a larger share in the determination of the conditions under which the work of the world is to be performed." "That labor must have an equal opportunity with capital in the event of a dislause is stressed in the sentence "To assist in the accomplishment of these determinations, whether it be through the medium of "Collective barazning" or not, labor is entitled to have representatives of her own unharmed choosing to sit in conference. "Profit, the result of combined efforts of capital and labor, must be shared, according to Judge Bledsoe, who said in this San Diego address: "The hope of the future in industry lies in a sympathetic and sound profit sharing, based upon a true partnership of interest, in which, for everyone, the reward to be received is proportioned upon the efficiency shown and the productive capacity demonstrated." Last Of Hyer Sisters Passes NOTED SONGBIRD OF 20 YEARS AGO ANSWERS FINAL CALL By E. L. Dorsey She's passed to the great beyond where the attainment of those things one craves for it is a possibility, the realization of which brings peace, and happiness to those seeking a haven of rest from a care worn world. And so when the sad news reached us that the late Mrs. R. J. Fletcher had passed to the great beyond, we felt that she, too, like many that have passed the great divide had but stepped to a higher plane there to resume the calling of her art for truly can it be said in her period and day she was unexcelled as an artist. One of the greatest song birds that had ever graced the footlights. was onenaeone .ooit j ko30TTH Madam Hyer, as she was best known, was one of two sisters who during the eighties and nineties held a prominent place in the theatrical limelight. Those who can recall the names of Earnest Hogan, Billy Casands Black Patti, and the late Williams and Walker, can't but help recall the names of Anna and Madah Hyer. Anna passed some years ago and Madah continued on for several years returning in 1904 after closing a successful season in one of the leading roles with the Williams and Walker Co.; then playing "Under the Bamboo Tree". Returning to Calif., she again took up residence with her parents in Sacramento and for several years instructed in piano and vocal music. Later on she was married to the late R. J. Fletcher, following whose death she began to lose interest in life and its hardships, which resulted in her passing. Whatever the race has accomplished in the production of artists, Madam Hyer has played a prominent part. That barrier which yesterday confined the Negro artist to the role of minstrelm is slowly but surely being lifted with the results that such stars as Roland Hayes, John Gilpin, young Roberson and others are found taking the leads in plays that have shifted from plantation scenes involving cotton bales and steamship landings to those of a higher order dealing with social, economic, and commercial affairs. Truly the Negro has progressed as an actor and were it possible for the name Hyer which 30 years ago was a mouthpiece in the music world to have given the opportunity of today grand opera would have amongst its ranks a colored star. In after years when history shall give to her her true rating her name will be recognized and remembered as a great artist who thrilled thousands with a voice unexcelled for sweetness in tone who like most great artists was reduced to meager circumstances because of her inability in the twilight of her life to fit in and condition herself to surrounding circumstances. (continued on page 6) "That labor must render due service for compensation received is the only attitude a fair minded American could assume; but Judge Bledsoe further stresses the necessity for that compensation being utmost possible, as witness this clause of his address: "In every employment, of whatever character, it is the duty of the employee to render the most efficient service of which he is reasonably capable. n the same spirit, it is the duty of the employee to pay for such service the highest remuneration to which, in reason, the employee is entitled." "Compulsion is an unthinkable term, the judge saying: 'Under our form of government, we may not compel free man to labor in a given employment if the conditions of the employment are unsatisfactory'; and settlement of disputes should and must come only through arbitration. "If we would avoid social disruption and civil war we must see to it that disputes between labor and capital in industry are settled not by the use of coercion or an appeal to force, but by recourse to arbitration and meditative adjustment." The Negro Presscries the news that Daytona Industrial Institute has been merged with Cockman Collegiate Institute and will be operated under the Board of Education. Methodist Episcopal Church. Daytona stood as a monument to the untiring energy and executive ability of one of America's foremost women. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune. She was the founder and its president. The Institute stood for Race advancement and its influence is felt where ever its students have ventured. Mrs. Bethune is the president of the greatest body of Race women in the world. The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs: She is an outstanding character in the realm of intellect. California women will have the opportunity of greeting Mrs. Bethune at the Bi-annual session which convenes in the city of Oakland, 1926. Oaigsoa a. jrblhfom ita arryDo What Mrs. Bethune has done in Florida in the creation of better racial relations, there is up in Oregon a woman who is doing an equally great work under different conditions. Mrs. Beatrice Cannaday, Editor, lawyer, and woman of splendid attainments is at all times alert to the fact that it is only by mutual understanding that mutual respect can be obtained. Racial conditions in Oregon have not always been the best. That was partly due to the fact (a condition which prevailed in every newly settled section) that the racial pictureers were not, at all times, representatives of the best in the Race. Adverse conditions had to be overcome, and Mrs. Cannaday, by precept and example, has made such notable headway that it is commented upon by the forward locking of both races. Mrs. Cannaday has succeeded in bringing together the intelligence of both races which through intellectual converse and frank interpretation of ideas and ideals common to both have disseminated through the masses and the seen in the improved conditions. We hope that the women of California will at some time in the near future have the opportunity of greeting this splendid woman The Chinese are fighting the new alien emigration law which prohibits the wives, children, and other relatives of American born Chinese from entering the United States. What with the Chinese fighting the law, and Japanese propaganda seeking to scatter the seed of favorable sentiment toward a repeal or less drastic provision of the enactment, Oriental autonomy seems about to win a point. The new Japanese Ambassador has stated frankly that he did not consider the incident closed, and hoped to open new conversations, respecting it, with the State Department in the near future. Ex-Governor "Pa" Ferguson is now once again, a full fledged citizen of the State of Texas with the perfect right to run for the office of Governor at the expiration of Governor "Ma" Ferguson's term of office. The Texas legislature passed the qualifying enactments and it was signed with promptness by the governor. The Ferguson name has been cleared and the Ferguson honor urphied—We wonder if "Ma" will now turn her executive attention to the glaring wrongs which are in existence and mitigate against the advancement and progress of thousands of her loyal citizens of the opposite race? The effort to clear the family name is a commendable one. The effort to enact and enforce laws that will protect the lives and properties of her black citizens would redound to her everlasting glory. A crate of California cherries, product of Placer County, left San Francisco by air mail. They were destined for Chicago and were to be sold at auction. A. W. Hulbert of Gold Hill was the shipped and the rate was $25.04 for the 11 pounds. Very soon it will be a common occurrence to send perishable fruits and other commodities by air freight, and greatly reduced rates. Those 11 pounds of cherries were the fore-runner of greater things to be, and instead of the mbing auctioned off to tickle the palates of millionaires they will be accessible for the tables or people in less affluent circumstances.

BIG ‘AND LITTLE PICKED UP BY THE PAGE By J. A. (Billboard) Jackson New York, March 28—(By The As- sociated Negro Press.)—On entering the Comedy Club recently, we were agreeably surprised to see an attrac: tive young lady industriously working over a panel portdait of a woman In the reception room. She was a regu- lar picture book artist, pretty smock. handful of brusbes, palette and all; and the unfinished picture was al- ready a beautiful something. The de- mure, strictly businesslike little bit of olive brown artist interested us. and we began making inquiries, for artists are rare among us—feminine ones, especially so. ‘The little lady who has a contract to do four panels for the club proved to be Miss Wilda Gunn, originally of Cincinnati where she graduaterd from the public and high — school _ after which she was a pupil at the school “of Fine Arts and Crafts in Boston, for she had been making pictures from childhood. Later she decided that. perhaps, costume designing might be a more profitable field, so she came to New York to attend Pratt Institute where she has yet another year before completing her course. ‘She is filled wittt ambition, is con- tent for the present to just study, is fa real artist and has no foolish ill Sions about publicity.

The pastor filled the pulpit both morning and evening using for his subject in the morning, "Put on the Whole Armour of God that You Might Stand," and in the evening he discussed the Baptist Covenant at which time God seemed to have ordered an angel to pull back the curtain so my man might see me in my glory while I speak through him the things I would have my people to know. The Communion Service carried with it impressive memories of the cross. Come and worship with us on next Sunday. A special Easter program will be rendered. ST.

Coming as lightning out of a clear sky was the crashing defeat of four present incumbents, as city directors out to succeed themselves, Judging from the tactics used by these men, who are sponsors of this city government, dedicated to by one C. W. Koiner, from South Carolina, came little or no reward for those who are subservient. Some time ago a committee from the Citizens Protect League made some proposals to them concerning a certain sign reading. "We cater to corporations only," whereupon they received the response that the time was not yet ripe for such action, and too the sign was in no way an infringement upon the constitution, as if they reserved the right to interpret the stipulations of the law, when we have judges on the bench whose sole duty it is to prompt the law. Consequently no action was taken and "anyway we won't make any disposition until after election." Election is over and even now they won't act—but we did, the results of which they keenly feel. We are told that they attribute the defeat to the solid vote of the Negroes and Klan—nowhere, they were badly beaten. The colored vote is to be complimented for their solid vote which goes to show what can be accomplished by concerted action. Moral: "Don't put too much confidence in your own selfish undertakings, thereby no one will benefit but yourself." Through the kindness of Deacon R. B. Scott and wife, who interceded to some of their friends for stores and gas pipes to furnish heat for the big tents, they were richly rewarded for their efforts.

San Bernardino By Old Hickory "If re-elected Mayor of San Bernardino," said Mayor Moorbomb yesterday, "it shall be my endeavor to improve our parks and establish playgrounds for the benefit of the children. The City owns four tracts of land within the city limits for park purposes. These park sites are well placed, but only two are now available to the public. The other two have not been used because grass has not been planted and there are no places fixed in those parks for the convenience of the public. One park site of five acres is situated at Ninth near Mt. Vernon. The other park site is situated south of Lytle Creek and near Mt. Vernon and contains thirteen acres. These places should both be developed for the benefit of the people of the city and of the neighborhood surrounding the park sites. Playground equipment for the children can be installed at small expense and will provide a place where the children can play off the streets and free from the danger of passing automobiles. Other cities the size of San Bernardino have public playgrounds in their parks for children." Thet Mayor promised that on all public works, none but San Bernardina labor would be employed.

E. B. DuBois, perhaps no one has exerted a more sin- cere effort in this direction than Miss Naida McCullough, the subject of this week's first of a series of personal sketches of Who's Who in the Production of the Peageant.”” Miss McCullough is well known to the many reader& who wiil peruse each week our modest portrayal of outstanding figures in the production of this gigantic Race play. She has appeared with some of the most distinguished mugiga] artists of the nation as accompanist and has won hundreds of enthusi- astic admirers with her art; and it is especially gratifying to learn that she is to have complete personal supervsion of the musical score of the pageant. Her conference with Dr. DuBois, the author, last Decem- ber while attending the annual convention of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, has enabled her to acquire more than ordinary knowledge of the problems to be encountered in working out the musical score. The Junior Branch of the National Assocation for the Ad- vancement of Colored People particularly pleads to acknow- in Miss Naida McCullough a woman whose comprehensive cul- ture and winning persoality bespeaks eloquently of the en- trance of the New Negro woman into a field of endeavor which is unquestionably for the good and ultimate liberation ‘of. the Race.

Annual Fashion Show By ‘Gdna Steward Whatever might be safd of womab in club work there is one — capital truth: that she is éver thoughtful of the good she might be to others. This was the associated influence which. governed the ‘members™ of the Phys- ATULitMo. Club when they organized The Annual Fashion Show. It was while studying* Negro art under .their department of Art the members of the Phys-Art-LitMo Club decided to seek out Negro women and men engaged in the art of gown-build: ing, hat making and tailoring and pre- sent them to the buying and patroni- {zing public. Hach year there has been a.modiste or milliner introduced about whom the pablic knew very lit- tle about and these modistes, millin- ers. and tailors have made ’ dollars they could not, have made bad not the opporiunity been given them to model their artcraft. Naturally the customer chosen to model before the eyes cf a thousand criticising buyers spends more money on a hat, dress or suit than the customer whose appear- ence is made in the more common av- enues. The club has spared no expense and saved no labor in massing togeth- er one grand ensemble of patrons out of the buying pablic to view with rapture the art of these our Negro artists displayed by Negro models beautiful of face and graceful in lines, posing in living pictures which have been arrayed in carrectly blended colors by those who know the art. The werk of the down tBwn shops is not solicited. A gown or hat coming irom such place is a volunteered en: try on the part of a model. But the associated object with one other is und always will be to make an open door for patronage of our own heuce our own are solicited to accept the op- portunity and advertise their ‘busi hess withoat cost and free of expense. The net proceeds from the Fashion Show support the club in their de: parsmental work from which — they take their name: Physical Culture. Literature and Moral Philosophy... As one has said. “Out of the study of Moral Philoscphy has come the club's annual membership to -the Children’s Hospital, East Side Mother's Home and N. A. A.C. P. Out of the study of Literature has come the presentation of an annual schdlarship and out ct the study of art | has’ come the in- stitution named The Annual Fashion Show. Space will not permit the names of the modistes, miltiners, and tailors who beautifully displayed their art but if you will kindly refer to your souyenir programes or phone — the president of the elub, Mrs. G.

Miller and Lyles of Runnin' Wild, the late Broadway success, were seen by the Sparks editor on the screen down town, in a demonstration which was given by the Kellum Talking Picture Company, advertising their talking pictures. It was really very interesting to see Miller and Lyles on the screen arguing, and at the same time hear their voices. They were arguing on Deduct. I mean it was an argument. Although Miss E. B. is a Grasshopperette, she claims she is afraid of a Grasshopper. What do you think about her? Not many attended the old fashion barn dance which was given last Saturday night by the Girls Reserves, because of the bad weather, but what few did attend, claim they had a good time anyway. We hope they did. Many people are in doubt about a Katee's Bird. A Katee's Bird does not eat, fly, walk or chirp. That is the proper definition for a bird of that nature. Mrs. A. L. Reese of Venice, Calif., accompanied by her two sons, Mercier and Lloyd Reese, were in town last Sunday for a few minutes; they might have remained longer. O. C. told the Sparks editor that he had a box seat at the Fashion Show the other night, and the Sparks editor asked him what was the idea of having a box seat, O. C. replied, "Well isn't a box seat better than none at all?" Did you know that many a chicken will be well dressed this Easter? Everybody that is born in March is supposed to have courage and wealth. Let us hope they have it this day and time. An interesting sign was seen on the back of a Lincoln motor car, "I am Henry's Papa". When we look at an elephant, we think of a traveling man. Balloon tire is another name for a large round piece of rubber with a hold in the center. Mother Nature claims that radio is the last word that she said. The latest song—Don't bring me Moonshine when Sunshine is what I need. ink is nothing more than black water, colored. Watch this column next week for the definition of a doughnut. A teacher asked one of her unthoughtful students just what he had a head for. The student-very unconcerned, replied, "To separate my ears". "Anyone having any interesting news of any kind that would be appropriate for the Sparks column kindly mail 'em to the Sparks editor, care of California Eagle, 847 Central Avenue; and have them in by Wednesday morning."

This denotes intelligence and real progress. In other words it notes the passing of old time methods when they were "toted" about as pawns in the hands of unscrupulous ward heelers and political parasites. "Uncle Chet Thomas, famed political oracle of Kansas, who was wont to send his henchman into the Colored wards; when he learned that these same voters rebelled the dictates of his henchmen, called a hurried council and said to them—for goodness sake boys, go down in the black belt and do something, for those people have woke up and are voting as they d——please". So all along the line in municipal elections even where they have partisan elections members of our group are standing up for progress, they stand side by side with all others who stand for the future growth and prosperity of the community in which they live. Take New York City as an example, the Colored voter had for years been a subject of taxation without representation, and could get nowhere in so far as political recognition was concerned. Finally they too, woke up and joined in the support of a broad gauged American citizen for Mayor and lo and behold they gained a hundred fold for in all of the various departments of city government they now have tangible representation. The same applies to Chicago and other large cities where men and women of our group have the stamina to think and act for theselves. This writer has no idea of trying to dictate to any man or woman how they should cast their vote, but we do propose to keep the people posted on what's going on and put the issues squarely up to them. In this contest we stand for all the things which tend to make Los Angeles great and grand. We have no doubts as to the futureof the city's welfare under the guiding hand of that distinguished jurist.

Therefore if we get the same deal and stand on the same footing that all of the American Citizens stand upon we shall have no fear.

Club Idea One Of The Oldest Known For Social Functions During the past week the leading question has been asked me about the Pacific Beach Club is "What is a Club", said Mr. Peace of the Pacific Beach Beach Sales Organization today. In order to give a clear definition of the working of a club it will be necessary that we drop back a short VIEWS AND REVIEWS By: "Twinkling Star" Polities! Politics!! This is the warry at present. Who shall be mayor of Los Angeles under the new charter? Bledsoe or Cryer, Vancebilt is for Cryer and Chandler for Bledsoe? Now then: Who is the greater man of action One carries the masses the other holds forth with the classes. Who? IGNORANCE AND ARROGANCE are twin sisters. They co-operate in their efforts to make man either ridiculous or contemperable. THERE ARE ONLY two ways in which to do anything. These are, the right way and the wrong way. Intelligence and training will always see, and then choose and light for the former; while ignorance, being blind, will invariably cling to thither. WE ARE NOT among those who prate and clamor for the academic routine in human affairs; but we are sensible enough to hold that there is nothing ridiculous or disgraceful in being "academic" if it means a clean-cut expression of common intelligence and straightforward business methods. IT IS REALLY PATHETIC, and yet, in a sense, it becomes laughable to meet people who are loud in their profession of intelligence and brains, but who, in their practical methods, demonstrate the clumsiest kind of ignorance. We are judged by what we practice, not by what we profess! VERY OFTEN the man who advises others to get away from the classroom philosophy has neither classroom, or any other kind of philosophy in him. That kind of advice usually springs from envy and jealousy. SOME PEOPLE THINK that it is a mark of great learning to prate about the exceptions which they take and the challenges which they issue to the words of men before whom they look in reality, like a "ten cent scholar" IT IS A SIGN of mental weakness, when you are completely outclassed in an argument, because of your utter ignorance of the subject under discussion, to sneer at and belittle the man who absolutely simsbad your Whether you know it or not a mental, but intelligent audience, listening holds you in contempt and ridicules and laughs at your childish antics on the side. TO THE MAN WHO, apparently, considers himself so super-learned and extra-experienced in comparison to others as to elect himself the artičat eracle for an organized group of intelligent people, we recommend a reading of Maurice Masterlinck's "Treasure of the Humble". SOLOMON was the wisest of men that ever lived, because he never professed to know everything. He was so wise that he could recognize the wisdom of others as easily as he could distinguish their folly. If you doubt us read the Proverbs. IF YOU WOULD be wise and desire to retain the respect of intelligent people, don't impress the world that you, and only you, have a monopoly on intelligence. That is an arrogant assumption which is both denied and defied by the methods of distinctions and classifications employed by all human 'schools of thought of ancient and modern time. WHEN YOU ARE so wise (?) as to evince a lack of respect for the other fellow's training, and experience, you should not expect him to respect yours, if you have any. SWAGGERING, supercilious, infatited, arragane—all these, we have learned, are other names for the talking monopolist—the would-be Solon and Wiseacre. EVEN SOLOMON and Socrates gave other wise and philosophical men a chance to air their wisdom and philosophy. Then why not a pigmy? Simply because he is a pigmy! ISN'T IT a curious anomaly that some of our so-called educated people who boast of their study of Greek, Latin, French, German, Spanish and a host of other foreign languages understand very little or nothing of their own everyday language? Peculiarly, we make a careful, classroom study or Latin grammar and boast about it. We chide our enemies for using Greek names when, according to our own presumptions, they do not even know the letters of the Greek alphabet. Yet the very best knowledge that some of us have of our own mother tongue is "the way it sounds" or, its common, everyday usage—whether technically correct or net—and a few ill digested notations of a very worthless dictionary. As matter of fact the best authorities on English grammar scott at dictionary references in support of the grammatical accuracy of words or expression. WE had a hearty laugh the other day when we noticed the sinister criticism hurled, by a certain local writer, at another for the use of an expression the authority for which the critic evidently knew no further than the sound of the expression itself, its common usage or a worthless dictionary reference. It would pay us better to make a careful study of the rational and historical elements of our own language, as we would of so many foreign languages, before we jibed, at or endeavored to correct others who have done some agonizing ground-work and pounding over it when they could hardly lisp. COMMENTS By: W. J. WHEATON (Continued From Page One) the ruling was consiscatory and violated the 14th Amendment. Perhaps the K. K. K has not placed the proper construction on that part of the amendment which reads that "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws'. The shores of San Francisco Bay were lined with thousands who crowded every vantage point to witness the arrival through the Golden Gate of Uncle Sam's great stell armada of fighting ships. Preceded by flying machines, they steamed thru Swift cruisers, battle ships, steel fortresses which looked impregnable fleet destroyers, that scarcely caused a ripple, submarines and the attendant ships, plane carriers and so on. The thousands watched and cheered as the mighty protectors of the nation filed past. A thing was called to mind which we will try to solve. Why is it that one will give but a passing glance to one man, but will stand for hours watching a thousand parade by? What impelled those people to stand for hours watching the parade of ships, when every day there is one or more of the same ships in the Bay? Human curiosity is something of an interesting study. With that faith he has gone to redeem the land of his former glories; and to form a nation which shall be among the great of the earth. No mercenary spirit tempts him. He does not invigere his fellow men into chimerical schemes, and yet he has made himself the center of the marts of the commercial and financial world. True he has suffered much for his faith. In human torture and hideous massacres have been his lot, but with it all has remained that inflexible faith which is urging him on to re-establish a nation. Religion is the urge and faith the compelling force. This country is one of the most patient of any of earth's governments. We remember that some time ago a furore was raised because a country which had not, at that time, established a government wanted to float an emblem along side of the Stars and Stripes. After much paled and official correspondence the flag was lowered. We attended a meeting recently and were astonished to see colors, which we wer etold represented a chimerical government, displayed above the national colors. Aside from that we listened to distribes which, under and other government, would have landed the speakers behind the bars. Then they would have become martyrs. Surely your "Uncle Samuel" is patient and long suffering. Racial pride can be wielded with national patriotism. The Chinese population of San Francisco has financed a hospital to be erected at Stockton and Jackson Streets. In design it will be a replica of the John D. Rockefeller Foundation hospital in Pekin, China. The Chinese are among the most progressives of San Francisco residents. They contribute of the city activities in all of its welfare work. There is never a parade but what they lend to it the color of the Orient. They are representatives of every religious activity, ranging from Confucious through the whole gamut of Evangelical serts to Roman Catholic. They contribute liberally to charitable institutions. Verily: We know of one other "Group" which could profit by emulating the work and active participation in civic affairs. Perhaps, it does not at all times pay to be on the receiving end. What is the magnet which is drawing those people back to reclaim a land? It can not be racial pride because, ever since the disintegration of the Jew nation they have scattered to the four corners or the earth and become a part of all of the races of the earth. Then it must be some thing else and religion seems to be the answer. No difference to the Jew what racer what nation: his faith in the religion of his fathers was supreme. Nothing could swerve him from the belief that, after he had paid his penalty for disobedience to his God that he would not again come into his own as one of Jehovah's chosen people. His Talmud is the naw of the Omnipotent. FOR RENT: A 3-room flat between two car lines. Hot and cold water and bath. Want refined colored family with reference only.

During the past week the leading question has been asked me about the Pacific Beach Club is "What is a Club", said Mr. Peace of the Pacific Beach Sales Organization today. In order to give a clear definition of the working of a club it will be necessary that we drop back a short distance in history. The records of all nations agree in attributing the institution of clubs to the earliest, or one of the earliest, rulers or legislators of whom they have cretained any memory. Indeed such associations seem to be a natural and necessary offspring of man's pleasure and social nature. There are commonly founded in the the more mature and better organized countries a number of secondary or accidental societies for the promotion of some common object. In the case of the Pacific Beach Club this object is purely to provide social and recreational, pleasures without a continual expenditure to a selected number of people who are invited to become its members. Clubs may b divided into four different classes according to their several objects; they may be etier religious, political, commercial or purely social. The Pacific Beach Club can be classed as a purely social institution. No records are available to determine how large clubs may have been in ancient times though they seem to have been one of the very foundations of civilization. An old inscription calls us of forty seats reserved for a particular club in the amphitheatre at Nimes, however, these probably belonged to the officers o the club, not to the ordinary members indiscriminately; it would seem that in these ancient days the officers enjoyed many privileges that were not given to members. Today clubs are conducted along the lines of the Pacific Beach Club, that is, each member enjoys exactly the same privileges that its officers will enjoy. No discrimination, in any sense of the word, would be a possibility in the Pacific Beach Club. All clubs have been moulded in particulars and laws which govern their constitution very much after the pattern of the civil institutions of the Country. They are republican in spirit. The word club denotes the promotion of inter-community and good fellowship, is not very old and has only been used since a very recent date. It claims a descent, however, from the Anglo-Saxon, being derived from Cleofan, to divide, because the expenses are divided into memberships. The Pacific Beach Club will never become a place that the most sensitive nature might hesitate to visit. In the first place all membership must be approved by a committee; in the second place the Club at any time reserves the right and privilege to revoke any membership. This means that a person who goes to the club thinking that the plan of the club is to let them get rough or do anything that they may please will find they have a mistaken idea of the functions and the government of the club. This club is a place to which you may send those who are nearest and dearest to you knowing that they have absolute protection and will be treated by other members as though they were one of their own family. That ought to clearly state the protective side. On the other hand the banding together of these people and establishing a club means that they will get free of charge many of the things that they continually pay for at the beaches and that they will have a place to go that will offer them the refinement, personality and efforts of their own private home.

Pa., April 19.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Before an audience of fully 4,500 persons, many being turned away, the Rev, Charles A. Tindley, pastor of the East Calary M. E. Church, attacked the belief that the future of the race in this country depends on racial equality. He believes that all that the race needs is a fair chance, and not social equality to mingle with the whites or occupy a house on the same street with white families. He wants, however, a chance to have a home just as good as that occupied by his white brother, as well as the educational and business opportunities accorded him. This equality of opportunity, Mr. Tindley said, the colored man could best gain by wholesome. Christian living, which would make him respected in the community. It is imperative that the Negro must believe in Christianity if he is to raise himself, he said. Rev Tindley decried dancing and drinking, and placed he blame for loose living, among the younger generation at the door or their parents, claiming that if true Christianity is taught in the home there would be few waward children.

MURRAY FIRST! 1210 Hooper Ave. HUm. 1324-J FRIDAY, APRIL 10. 1925 RACE LAW PROVOKES LETTER-ATTACK ON VIRGINIA GOVERNOR Richmond, Va., April 19.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—A woman who was bald enough to sign her name and address to the epistle is reported to have sent a letter of warning to E. Lee Trinkle, Governor of this state and to Dr. W. A. lecker registrar of Vital Statistics concerning the racial integrity law recently passed by the General Assembly which requires all persons applying for amarriage license or when entering children in school. to state whether or not they are white or colored or of Indian blood. This wman, who it is claimed, says that she is half Indian and half "maileface", in her letters openly warns the governor and the registrar that they are liable to be assisted if they further persist; in the enforcement of racial purity law; which law was designed solely to prevent intermarriage between colored and white people in this state. The passage of this law was secured through the efforts of an organization known as the Anglo-Saxon club, which is the new name under which the old Ku Klux Klan is chartered in this state. The letter has been turned over to the Postal authorities for investigation. Dr. Moton expressed his belief that the Committee would receive a hearty response among the citizens of New York and that the quota would be over subscribed. At the initial meeting, according to reports coming from New York, scores of men and women interested in Negro education not only subscribed but enrolled as workers. According to announcement made by Frank P. Chisolm, 'Field Secretary of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, the Negro citizens of New Haven, Connecticut recently contributed more than seven thousand dollars toward the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund Campaign.

ONLY ONE ASSEMBLY BOUT WENT THE LIMIT MONDAY NIGHT BABY GANS, YOUNG FORD, JOE BURCH AND EAGLE THOMPSON WINNERS After you saw the curtain riaser at the Assembly Athletic Club last Monday night you saw the whole show. The other events just happened. What appeared to be a fine card on paper turned out to be just the opposite. Two substitutions spoiled the card. Wanie Walker in the special event boxing a substitute was outweighed and outclasser. Baby Gans in the main event drew an opponent that couldn't put up a battle so the evening's entertainment wasn't so good. As mentioned above the curtain raiser was the classic of the evening. Eagle Thomas and Pedro Pablo squared away at each other like two terriers and the result was always in doubt until Eagle Thomas caught Sonor Pablo with a left book to paw. Luro staggered around the ring like a drunken man almost dying through the ropes. This blow came in to earth and a few more lefts and rights caused referee Drume to raise Eagle Thomas' good right arm, giving him credit for a knockout. In the semi-windap Young Ford received the surprise of his life when he was floored in the first round by Joe Hudson of Anaheim. Hudson was awkward but carried dynamite in each hand. Ford reached Hudson with perfect right crosses but couldn't put him down. Hudson seemed nailed to the canvass. The towel came floating in the ring in the third round from Hudson's corner however, Hudson is a new corner to the ring but will improve with age. Another new boxer. Warnie Walker a fasty boxer fast on his feet and making his first appearance, was knocked out by Jimmie Derring, a white boxer. Warnie took an awful beating before going down for keeps. He was fast on his feet and had a Baby Gans shared a technical knockout over Baby Davis in the fifth round. Davis substituted for Willie O'Brien who was supposed to substitute or round back. The State Boxing Commission carried both Young rake and Willie O'Brien. Gans flopped Davis with a left hook in the third round and Davis kept moving away from Gans from then on. Davis' seconds threw in the towel in the fifth to save him from further punishment. FLOWERS TO TRY MOVIES Philadelphia, Pa., April 2: (By the Associated Negro Press): Tiger Flowers, the sensational race fighter, who is making hay while the sun shines, and fresh from his close win over Bogash, (white) in Boston, is going in the movies, according to the latest news. He is under contract to make a five-reel picture. It will keep the Tiger very busy for the next two months. As a result or his many fights despite his two knockouts at the hands of Jack Dalenay. Flowers is now known as the "man of many fights." In the semi-windup Young Ford received the surprise of his life when he was floored in the first round by Joe Hudson of Anaheim. Hudson was awkward but carried dynamite in each hand. Ford reached Hudson with perfect right crosses but couldn't put him down. Hudson seemed nailed to the canvass. The towel came floating in the ring in the third round from Hudson's corner however. Hudson is a new comer to the ring but will improve with age. Another new boxer, Warnie Walker a flashy fast on his feet and making his first appearance, was knocked out by Jimmie Derring, a white boxer. Warnie took an awful beating before going down for keeps. He was fast on his feet and had a good left jab, showed flashes of having a right, but his generalship was oh, so very poor. Walker with some tutoring will make a good boxer. He has a grand heart. Joe Burch took his third straight decision over Bud Garber, white, but the bout was tame in comparison with their other meetings. Joe didn't get started until the third round and he workel hard enough in the last round to win the decision. EASTERN LEAGUE SCHEDULE CALLS FOR SEVEN- TY GAMES Philadelphia, Penn. April 7: The Eastern league schedule will this year call for every league team to play seventy full contests. The Commissioners will set a date and introduce a rule that will throw out the games of any club that fails to play a set quota of games within the time limit. This will eliminate the chance of a club having the highest percentage yet being far behind another club in the number of games played. Much dissatisfaction was expressed on this matter last year when Hilldale coped the pennant, and the Black Sox ended the season unable to play several games on the schedule which might have given them a chance at the flag. High School Notes The Southern California Alumni Association caused a goodly amount of stirring in local High School politics when it entertained an enthusiastic group of promoters last Saturday in preparation for its annual contest which takes place May eighth. Those who were present are, namely: Anna Slater, Alicia Allen, Lawrence Johnson, Mildred Washington, and Meredith Carter. L. A. High, Eleaver Ramsey and Iris Bogle, Poly High, Roblee Broyles, Jefferson, Elisabeth Cattley; Manual, and Viola Martin and Walter Gordon. Lincoln. Misses Broyles, and Carter rendered a large number of helpful suggestions, as did Tommy Myles and Georwe Duncan, alumni of Lincoln High. Students are urged in co-operating with their promoters, who are striving hard to make this contest a success. The Sweet Sixteen and the Grasshopper Club, headed by Anita Monroe and Roy Johnson endeavored to ascent Mr. Wilson last Sunday, but were thwarted by rain. Tomorrow will be joyfully spent in renewing their efforts. I sincerely believe that the half way house will be the goal of manl of the "Sixteens". The Boys' High Y headed by Theodore Banks, is taking an important position among the younger people's civic bodies of this city, but is still greatly handicapped by the absence of its members, Thomas Southern, Jefferson Brown, Edwin Jefferson, Newell Eason, and Ismael D. Corry, are accomplishing wonders towards toward the social, moral and business aspect of the organization. At the next meeting a debate, "Resolved: that the Phillipines should be given their independence will be presented. Lawrence Johnson and Walter Gordon, affirmative, representing L. A. and Lincoln, and Thomas Southern and Ismael Florry, representing Poly and Jefferson, the negative. All students ars urged to come. A new boys club, closely resembling the Grasshoppers" and Knights has recently been inaugurated into youthful society. It is known as the Stags, and is composed of an intelligent group of young men, who are already planning an affair that will closely rival those given by older established clubs. Many High School and College students are extremely surprised to hear of the announcement of Miss Viola Morton, pretty and popular, Lincoln High School student to Mr. Christopher Scott, equally popular student of U. S. C.'s school of pharmacy. The wedding, it is rumored, will be in the near future. The Racket Wielders Club, composed of youthful tennis aspirants, the majority of whom are Jefferson Hi School students, are constantly and critical eyes of Miss Verna Strat getting into form under the watchful ton and Mr. Ismael Florry. Any young person interested in tennis is eligible for membership. Edwin Jefferson, a promising lad over at Manual Arts, has startled the student body and faculty of that school by his oratorical ability, which might win for him first place in the fight for Constitution and Commencement speaker programs. Manual Arts was the actor over Hollywood in a hectic track battle last Friday at the Coliseum, the relay race being the deciding factor.

Our victory was won in the midst of active war- fare. We stormed the Boyle Heights sector in our drive for Mayor Cryer, and in one torrential overflow. be: sicged and captured Boyle Heights The crowning event ‘was the planting of Cryer banners on every outpost. and to the accompaniment of martial music, played by a band of junior “Cryerites” the surrender was made to General Thomas M. Myles. It was the opening — skirmish in what is to be a continued seige. The light artillery managed by General Myles und his aid-de-camp, Captain Bridges, marshalled the right and lef: flanks into a Cryer ravine, and from the trenches of that imbattlement the war cry for Cryer was long and foud, When peace and quiet were re- stored the viciorious armies filed In- to the Cryer Headquarters where they listened to a series of short ad: dresscs in support of Mayor George B, Cryer.

CALIFORNIA EAGLE AUTOMOTIVE SECTION FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1925 AU THRONGS WILL MOTOR TO EAS- TER SERVICES Thousands Of Autos Will Convey Worshipp- pers To Sunrise Classic Event Hundreds who haven't seen the inside of a church since last Easter as well as thousands of staircase Christians will motor early Sunday morning to some place they in particular have chosen there to worship and pay homage to the Prince of Peace. Naturally as is the custom in this section the majority will be headed in the direction of some hill top, preferably Mount Rubidoux, which has gained such popularity since the advent of the automobile. Without the motor car to convey them to and from their destination only a relative handful of worshipers would be able to attend services. Let each owner of an auto be a good Samaritan Sunday and if possible make it convenient to take some one they know will be appreciative of the opportunity to worship. Hundreds are there yearly who have no means of transportation that would greatly appreciate the invitation if it were extended L. A. LEADS IN 'GAS' STATIONS 14 Per Cent Increase In Number Operating Los Angeles, center of great auto mobile traffic, and home of many oil companies and refineries, still maintains the lead in having the greatest number of gasoline service stations per capita in the world Since August 6, 1924, there has been an increase of 14 per cent in the number of gasoline dispensing places within the city. The total now reaches 1629 of which 1175 are the so-called service stations and the remaining 454 operate garages in addition to their gasoline business High Investment The California Oil World, commenting on the growth of the business in Los Angeles, says: "An extremely conservative estimate of the actual cost of service stations in Los Angeles—meaning only the physical property—is $5000 per station. This would indicate that, conservatively, at least $8,115,000 is invested in them. Another extremely conservative estimate is that the value of real estate upon which such service stations are constructed is a sum equal to the physical valuation. "In other words there is now represented upward of $15,000,000 in the business of dispensing gasoline and oils at retail to the motorists of this city. Actually, say those who have made a careful study of the facts the sum is very much larger." GAS TAX A HOKUM Figures Compiled To Show Plenty Of Funds Motorists of California are becoming sarcastic and slangy in their comments on the Breed bill before the State Legislature calling for an increase in taxes on motor vehicles to provide funds for new construction work on the State highway commission, according to the Auto Club of Southern California. "Where do you get that stuff?" they are shouting in response to the oft reiterated statement being broadcast that unless additional funds are provided, development work on the justly famous road system will cease and California's fair name as a paradise for motorists will be dragged in the mud—provided enough rain If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened comes to provide this well-known but little seen product. Preliminary estimates indicate that the State road program for the next biennial period will have funds as follows from the sources named: Motor vehicle taxes.....$45,000,000 Foregoing contracts and unobligated funds.....8,000,000 County and road district mark.....12,000,000 work 12,000,000 Forest service roads 2,000,000 National Park roads 1,000,000 "Just why the highway development program should be paralyzed with so much money in sight is a deep mystery to the motorist, who already is taxed for the maintenance of the roads he uses and pays more on his car than he does on any other of his property. He feels that he should not be taxed to build new highways any more than should a State university student be asked to construct the buildings in which he expects to receive his education', the club officials assert. "Then the motorist feels that he has a card up his sleeve as another argument against increased class taxation. This he finds in the announcement that the State will have a handsome surplus from its regular revenues, which, in any emergency, might well be used on building new high ways that may be needed. Many Protests "This surplus is estimated at the tidy sum of $22,000,000. It is generally contended that new highway construction is a capital investment—that it benefits abutting property, towns, corporations and individuals generally and hence the expense should be shared by all taxpayers, and not the motorist alone." Individuals, towns and cities, civic organizations, motor dealers and bodies of motorists are registering determined protest against the proposed tax increase. In Southern California additional reasons are cited for opposing the proposed legislation. According to past records, some 57 per cent of the motor vehicle taxes are collected in the thirteen counties of Southern California, while only 34 per cent of the State highway expenditures have been made in this section. This situation, it is pointed out, may easily lead to a sentiment for unlimited taxing of the motorists on the part of lightly traveled sections, which are clamoring for State highways and are content to let the other fellow pay the bill. After summing up the situation, the Auto Club heads believe the motorist and the public generally are inclined to want to know why taxes should be increased for highway development when there is ample money in sight to carry out a program of greater magnitude than in any previous years?
