Phone: VANDIKE 9244 Vol. 39 By: W. J. WHEATON Candidates who are aspiring to fill state and national offices, and who have staked the failure or success on the results of the primaries to be held in August, are as busy as the proverbial bee. They are traveling up and down the State of California giving the voters a big ear full of promises and holding up to public view their virtues and capableness, but, "smoke screening" an defects in their political make up. 004 Of course the "brother of the sable hue" is coming in for his share of the "apple sauce"—and, we would add, that as far as the Negro voter enters into the complex of the California politician, he is a nonentity. And why? Because he holds his reward for loyalty to party too cheap! For example: Some time ago the voters importuned the Governor to recognize their fealty to the party by the appointment of one of the Race to a municipal judgement, which he had in his power to do. Although several names of able and prominent attorneys were given him for approval, he did not even given them a thought. Why? Because he was informed that the Negro vote could be appeased by rewarding one of the Race with the proprietorship of a BOOT BLACK STAND in the Ferry Building, which is managed by the State and shelters quite a crate of POLITICAL PLUMBS. The battle for that BOOT BLACK STAND reads like a court contest between the Standard Oil Company and the United States. When the present administration took charge the proprietor, or occupant, was a man who had been lake-warm in his support. He belonged to a faction of the party which had nothing in common with the present administration. A political leader (?) who had been active in securing our VOTES (?) looked with envious eyes on the boys as they manicured the dainty bootlets, and masculine footwear; and his ear caught the tinkle of the cash register as it swallowed the dimes and he swore then and there that he, for his fetality, must have possession of that "money getter." Then comes the battle in the courts. The Irs refused to be ousted, but the prize was too valuable to be lost. "We must appease the Negro Voter!" was the slogan. We cannot afford to antagonize 50,000 votes in the State with withholding patronage from them! "Restore that BOOT BLACK STAND at the Ferry immediately, before the primaries of August, and install some political leader of the Negroes there. My! my!! We cannot ignore such a tremendous vote for the sake of a BOOT BLACK STAND. They will soon forget all about ignoring their petition for a JUDGSHIP, that B. B. S. will cover up all of our sins of omission." So there you are—50,000 Rye voters have been rewarded for their party loyalty and fealty to participation, by rewarding one of OUR LEADERS (?) with a "Shoe Manicure Stand." It's time for voters to wake up! I At a session of the Women Voters Club held recently, in San Francisco, Mrs. W. B. Hamilton, prominent club woman, and wife of the present Collector of Customs, was asked by the "dry faction" to oppose the present incumbent, congresswoman Florence Krag Kahn, "wet" who is up for re-election—dependent upon the primary result in August. The majority of the voters in the Fourth Congressional District seem to think that the best interest of the District can be served by a man, and that there is plenty of capable masculine timber to wear the Congressional Toga. Mixed Couple Dies in Suicide Pact (Bv; A. N. P.) Philadelphia, Pa., April 12—Mystery surrounded the death of William Carney, White, 45, and his colored wife, Sarah, 40 years old, by gas, who were found in the third-floor front room they had occupied for six months at 1340 Ellsworth street, Monday afternoon. A suicide pact was decided upon by police authorities and Mrs. Rachael Clark, 80, proprietress. The door and windows of their room had been decorated stuffed with rags. Mrs. Clark was in the house and questioned. She did not throw any light on the case other than she believed it was a suicide pact. A still exploded in the same house a year ago. ```markdown ``` CATCH YOUTHS IN $43,000,000 SWINDLE Chicago, Ill., April 14.—(By the Associated Neuro Press) Visions of the day when the Negro is really going to see things in a big way and to emancipate himself from the ranks of the petty tradesman were, curiously enough, revealed here Saturday in the apprehension of a trio of youths, two colored and one white, on suspicion of engineering a $43,000,000 swindle and confounding a white man to the extent of ten or fifteen thousand dollars. The three young men, Charles E. Humphries, 23; Harry McAlpin, former student at the University of Wisconsin and Donald Winans, white, were led by Humphries, who claimed to be the inventor and holder of a patent for a special refrigerator car. He is said to have conceived the scheme while at his home, a small town near St. Louis. He came to Chicago, told his story to an uncle, who believed him and who made it possible for Humphries to meet a wealthy tile contractor, Henry Jansen, white. This latter gentleman became interested, but Humphries disclosed to him artfully that the rights to his invention had been sold to a California firm for more than $43,000,000. He also showed the contractor notes for that amount and a patent issued to Humphreys & Humphreys, refrigerator manufacturers of Kalamazoo, Michigan. He had letters, apparently authenticated from officials of a St. Louis bank, supporting his claims. There was absolutely no flaw Mr. Jansen could pick in Humphries' story. But so much money floating around a colored boy just did not seem real to the white contractor. When he had let the youth have more than $10,000 (he was to give him $10,000 to obtain manufacturer's rights) he went to consult his banker. This latter gentleman advised that he should consequence that young Humphries and his companions, who may have been dupes or accomplices, were arrested. Humphries was living sumptuously in a home at 4910 Forestville Avenue, and would have been a race leader in a few months. 7th Annual Declamation Contest By So. Cal. Alumni Ass'n.

Declaration Contest Committee: Miss Vassie Williamson, Chm.; Miss Pauline Slater; Miss Anna Mae Green; Mrs. Bess Blakeley; Mrs. Walter L. Gordon, Pres. Poses As Wife's Brother (Bv the A. N. P.) Camden, N. J., April 20—A "love affair" that had its beginning in a gasoline service station went on the rocks when Carl Beiland, an auto truck driver, and Mrs. Peggy Cunningham were arrested by Constable Jack Dean on wartants charging them with a statutory offense Monday afternoon. Elmer Cunningham, husband of the woman, caused the arrest of his wife Sunday. The arrests unfolded an unusual "triangle" and disclosed the fact that the husband for several months had posed as his wife's brother and permitted the truck driver to "court" Mrs. Cunningham. When Beiland learned that the man he thought was the woman's brother was really her husband he expressed complete surprise and to Justice of the Peace Jack O'Grady he unfolded his story. A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL Steals Glad Rags; Gets 30 days In Prison For stealing the glad rage of Mrs. Pauline Martin, 1572 East Jefferson Street, Mrs. Gene Hunt (white) was tried in the Municipal Court Thursday this week, was found guilty and entenced to 30 days in jail. The value set on the clothing was a fur scarf, $100, and a dress worth $25. Who will gainay that justice is not met out even handed in 95 per cent of Los Angeles Courts? SPIRIT KENTUCKY SUSPECT AWAY (By the A N P) Hopkinsville, Ky., April 19.—Telephone warnings and growing signs of mob spirit have caused the spiriting away of Joseph Blanton, held as a suspect in an alleged attack on three white girls and their male companions. Efforts to have the supposed victims identify Blanton failed. He was taken from the Christian (heaven save the name) County Jail to Eddyville, under orders from Governor Fields. The Kentucky farmers are still hard on colored suspects and find ways to let their own criminals get away. New Orleans Segregation Case not Filed Before Supreme Court By: WILLIAM PICKENS (By the A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., April 20—Up to date of April 16th the white lawyer who heads counsel for the colored people of New Orleans against the segregation law, had not yet filed the case in Supreme Court in Washington. The colored people are beginning to get a bit suspicious and restless; the lawyer is delaying unnecessarily, it seems to some of them. The colored lawyer who is associated with him, wants to have the case docked at once. Formerly the Supreme Court allowed only twenty days, after judgment was rendered by state court, to clap before the case would fall automatically and not be accepted by the Supreme Court. Lately the Supreme court extended this time to sixty days. But colored people were willing to risk their entire virtue of the case and a matter of litigation before the new rule was made—and the Supreme Court always takes hold of any technicality in order to drop such a case of the colored people. There is such a thing in the world as the "double-cross," although nobody is charging it yet in this case. Supreme Chancellor Green, of Pythians, was double-crossed by a southern white lawyer a little while ago, in a case to compel the railroads to furnish Pullman accommodations to colored passengers. The lawyer simply let the time slip around to the last day for going to Washington and filing the appeal, and then his wife got suddenly and conveniently sick, so he couldn't go at all,—and Green's case went overboard—Nobody says that the railroads had bought off this lawyer of Green's, but everybody knows that railroads have done such things. The colored people of New Orleans have a right to take care and watch out. KILLED BY GIRL HE WRONGED (By the A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., April 19.-Simon Legree, reincarnated in the person of William Simonds, a white man, and driver for the Yellow Cab Company, was murdered by Mildred Cook, his maid, a few days ago, for inhuman treatment, according to the police. If the girl's story can be substantiated as related to the district attorney, it is probable that no action will be taken by the authorities, as they termed Simonds "a hard master," who received exactly what he deserv- LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 23, 1926 (By the A. N. P.) Anderson, S. C., April 20—Finding his estranged wife at her home in the company of James Butler, S. C. Parks drew his gun and killed both of them. After shooting Butler, he beat him across the head with the butt of the gun. He has been placed in jail. HEAR DEAN PICKENS SUNDAY DEAN PICKENS TO VISIT LOCAL N. A. A. C. P. Dean Wm.

RETURN MISSIONARY FROM MONROVIA, LIBERIA WEST AFRICA I wish to express my gratitude to the many friends who attended the shower and helped make it so pleasant for me before leaving. I had a delightful trip. After leaving the U. S. A. our first stop was in Plymouth and Liverpool, England. Our first stop in Africa was Sierra Leone, then Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa. I enjoyed my stay and am very much delighted over Liberia. I am very proud of the missionary home being built in Liberia by P. A. W.

Philadelphia, Pa., April 19.—The popularity of the colored performer has brought to the fore another of those black and white reviews with one part composed of whites and the other blacks. "Rarin' to Go" is the name of one of the latest ones, which played the Casing Theatre in Philadelphia recently, and which proved to be highly diverting. The colored section of the show was headed by Lovey Taylor and Tim Moore, and surrounded by a clever aggregation of feminine performers, it was a veritable avalanche of jazz music and dancing, the popular Charleston being interpreted to perfection. Florence McClain was the chief purveyor of the dance that is all the rage. The crowning work of Pastor Holt with the St. Paul Baptist Church evoked a response from the constituency last Sunday and Monday when the congregation and every department of the church participated in by representatives of each department of the Western Baptist Association of Southern California joined in celebrating his Ninth Anniversary. The program as directed by Mrs. C. D. Robinson, was complete in every detail, and carried out almost to the letter. Dr. W. H. Rozier, Moderator of the Western Baptist Association preached the anniversary sermon at 11 o'clock. Having been associated with Pastor Holt since his coming he reviewed the seven years of service as Moderator of W. B. A., and nine years successful pastorate of the church with St. Francis of Assisi Church. With stern facts and admonition coupled with the Eternal Truth, Dr. Rozier immortalized himself. In the afternoon service having thrust upon the pastor honor due one so worthy, presentations were made Pastor and Mrs. Holt by every department of the church. The night service sermon preached by Rev. R. H. Wade General Missionary and continuation of program. On Monday the group was joined by the Ministerial Alliance of Los Angeles County participating in the great banquet given in their honor. Hold Cop For Killing (By: the A. N. P.) Carthage, N. C., April 20.—Dan Harrington, night policeman in the colored town of West Southern Pines, has been remanded to jail without bond for the fatal shooting of Clarence Williams. Harrington claims that he was set upon and beaten by companions of Williams, but the story of the companions differs. Liquor was the cause of the officer's interest in the trio. Power Company Woman Wins $600 from (By the A. N. P.) Little Rock, Ark, April 14.—In one of the most significant actions undertaken in local courts in recent months, Mrs. Roberta Hildreth has recovered $600 in a suit against the Arkansas Central Power Company. The suit was significant because it resulted from the common practice of white conductors and motorman on street cars insulting and abusing colored women. Mrs. Hildreth and a companion were passengers and were accused by a conductor of not paying their fares. They protested that they had and refused to pay again. He caused their arrest. The case was dismissed from court. Both women sought to recover $10,000 damages, but Mrs. Hildreth's companion, not being a resident of the State, later withdrew her suit, contemplating an action in the federal courts. (By: A. N. P.) Hollywood, 'Cal., April 14.—Announcement has just been made by the Cecile B. DeMille Studios of plans to film a history of the Negro in America. The cast will be entirely colored. FIND AFRICAN "CHAR LIE CHAPLAIN" (By the A. N. P.) New York, April 18—Grant H. John, one of the members of the Denver African expedition, tells of the meeting in Ovambuland with Africa's Charlie Chaplin, who is the husband of Queen Kalinashi. He wears shoes six sizes too big for him. He also wears a shirt but no trousers, and a silk hat adorned with an ostrich feather. He is famed throughout the country as a fantastic dancer. (By: the A. N. P.) Philadelphia, Pa., Apr. 21—Five white women and seven white men agreed on a verdict of first degree murder with life imprisonment as the penalty for John Saffour, who shot and killed Patrolman Frank Cooke white, on December 16, last, during a fight at the traffic booth at sixty-second on street and Woodland avenue. The jury was out only an hour and a half. Counsel for Saffour promptly made a motion for a new trial, and pending its disposition, Judge McDevitt deferred imposing life sentence. The verdict of the jury, however, forever removes any possibility of the defendant paying the death penalty for the crime. Although he has been in this city only two years, Saffour's character witnesses numbered more than a hundred white people who testified to his good reputation for peace and quietness. In his story he told of being beaten by his pursuers and then, instructed by Attorney Edward A. Kelly, white walked along the front of the jury box, while the jurors examined several skins on the back of his head. HOODLUMS ATTACK (by the A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., April 10—Hoodlums, believed to be members of the Ku Klux Klan, assaulted the Rev. W. M. Jackson, his brother, Rev. Paul Jackson, and Dan Harrang, residents of the Westwego settlement, in Jefferson parish, while on their way home in a lonely section of the road from the annual meeting of the Louisiana Freedmen's Association last week. The matter has been reported to the authorities of Jefferson parish, but as no yet arrests have been made in the case, and it is probable none will be. White Folks Laugh It Off (By: the A. N. P.) (By: the A. N. K. Durham, N. C. April 21—Court around here are not going to permit the dignity of the law to be impaled when Arthur Hall told officials in Raleigh court that when he was found in the basement of the home of Township Constable A. M. Maddry he had gone there to deliver liquor the white folk laughed him off. Hall pleaded with them to come to his home and make a little investigation, but the white folk held it was all too funny to bear dealing with. Instead Hall was given six months on the road, a sentence which he has appealed. Baptist College Burns Baptist College Burns (By the A. N. P.) Hammond, La., April 19.—The Third District Colored Baptist College recently completed was destroyed by fire with an estimated loss of $10,000. Only one engine was detailed by the local fire department which was inadequate despite the fact that this city has a complete fire fighting equipment. Rev. E. A. Watkins of Bogalusa, La., had recently been appointed President of the institution was the first structure when the fire originated, and no cause can be given as to the destruction. The local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan is very strong in this particular neighborhood. (By the A. N. P.) Philadelphia, Miss., April 19.—Because Thomas Pinter, a white planter, objected to Stanley Turner, an employee, beating his own wife, the latter shot Pinter a few inches over the heart, infiltrating a probable death wound. Turner is in jail. DUKE AIDS CHURCH Durham, N. C., April 19—B. N. Duke, benefactor of Johnson C. Smith College and Duke University, gave $500 to the Wall Street Baptist Church, north of the Last named school, this week. 1879 - 1926 $2.00 THE YEAR No. 46 In Prison uer CHICAGO NEGROES DO MUCH NOMINATING Chicago, Ill., April 20.—In one of the most bitterly contested primary elections ever held in the State of Illinois, with the World Court as an issue, and all the ordinary factional patterns torn apart, Chicago Negroes Tuesday under the almost uncontested leadership of Edward H. Wright, member of the state commerce commission and committeeman of the Second Ward, nominated a state senator, four representatives, a county commissioner and three senatorial committee. The Senate nomination went to the present incumbent, Adelbert H. Roberts, who was elected two years ago, the first Negro to ever serve in the Illinois legislature. His nomination was contested by W. G. "Habeas Corpus" Andgrson, and Nathan S. Taylor. Anderson sought to have Roberts' name stricken from the ballot because he is a clerk in the municipal court, but was unsuccessful. Taylor, two years ago, made the most successful fight ever chalked up against Congressman Martin B. Madden. His vote in this primary was negligible, as was that of Anderson. Spirited fighting was done in the races for the lower house of the Assembly. In the First District, Jacob Tipper, publisher of the Chicago Enterprise, and Richard E. Westbrooks, a spectacular attorney, resident consul for Liberia, and one time assistant state's attorney, threw their hats in the ring against Sheadrach B. Turner and Charles Griffin, incumbent. Turner and Griffin were nominated by startling pluralities despite the contest waged by the others. In the Third district, the political death knell of the once powerful Oscar DePriest was sounded. His candidate for the legislature, William King, was badly defected, the two successful nonines being George Kersey, father of the monument bill for the Eighth Illinois Infantry and committeeman of the Third Ward and Warren B. Douglas, even incumbent. Kersey led the ticket, getting more votes than both the other, getting more support, faction nominated by Eckert Wright. P. W. Chavers, advertised as the founder of the Douglass National Bank, and former apron manufacturer, made little impression in his race against Congressman Madden, polling only some two thousand votes. Madden was not even forced to leave Washington. There are many Negroes in the district who want a colored congressman, but they want the right kind of a man and they do not want to turn their backs on a man who has been so valuable to them as Madden. They claim that Madden's friendship claims for many years back. Col. Frank L. Smith defeated Senator McKinley for the nomination for the United States senate, despite a vigorous fight in which Walter Cohen of Louisiana, Col. Patton of Mississippi, Wayman Wilkerson of Memphis and other southern leaders came to Chicago to help McKinley win. This indeed fortunate for Negroes. Wright, the colored leader, is a member of the commission of which Smith is chairman. It is known that Smith has great respect for Wright and vice versa. In the event of Smith's election in November, Illinois Negroes stand to count much in national politics. ATTORNEY TOWSON GRAS- TY RETAINED IN BELL MURDER CASE Attorney T. Grasty has been retained to defend Joe Wormley who was apprehended on April 27th. Wormley was indicted in 1923, along with four other men for the murder of a grocce at Bell Station. Two of the men, Matthew Roberts and Joe Sineal were found guilty of first degree murder and hanged at Saratoga in 1924. The other two grocce off with poison terms. Wormley has been a fugitive and will now be put on trial for his part in the crime. The case will be watched with great interest as Attorney Grasty promised to put up a fight for his freedom.

Or is illicit intercourse wrong and unnecessary for women and right and essential for men? Nature is always consistent, a little thought shows that this very fact procludes the double standard. It would be a strange God who would pronounce a curse upon one party and a blessing upon another party for the self same act; or for the joint mitral of the same deed. It would be a strange God who would, so form men's bodies that would for them to be healthy and strong it was necessary to deprive and demolish the bodies and morals of women—the other half of the human family. God does not make a thing right for you and wrong for me. He has one law for all of us. Therefore if illicit intercourse is wrong for woman, it has to be wrong for man, for he cannot indulge in it without her. not include an IGNORANT AND MISTAKEN IDEA Until a few years in the past, literature and-popular opinion has done much to make men and boys feel that continence was harmful or dangerous. Today, however, from every enlightened press and from men of large experience with other men come facts to prove this idea as false and absolute in contrary to physical facts. When a boy awakens into manhood his physical, mental and moral development, all three, are in direct proportion to his conservation and not to his illicit exercise of his sexual functions. The youth who has lived an absolutely clean life has a thousand times better chance to develop into a strong, capable, forceful man than the youth who has early learned to waste his strength and the indulgence of lust and the gratification of passion. A normal man will only be stronger because he curbs his appetite and controls his passion; whenever the indulgence of that passion would bring harm to himself or to another.

THREE REASONS WHY A MAN SHOULD LIVE A CLEAN LIFE ulicit intercourse with women is possible only under three conditions. A man must either betray another man's wife, resort to a public prostitute, or rape an innocent girl. Everyone considers the man who rapes a clean young girl or betrays some other man's wife as wile and unworthy of the respect of either men or women. This leaves only one class of women remaining for the unlawful satisfaction of passion—the prostitute. Any woman who willingly gives herself to a man or to men out of wedlock is a prostitute. This does not apply in any sense to the ignorant or innocent girl who is absolutely forced or who unwillingly yields to passion's powers. But the woman who willingly gives herself to a man or men out of wedlock is either a public or a private prostitute. Both the public prostitute, whom we assume may be the private prostitute who is select in conferring her favors are equal sources of grave danger. For any woman who has danger her body to one or more other men is likely to be diseased and is a possible source of infection and death to any man. Well has the wise man stated "Her end is bitter as worm-wood sharp as a two-eared swig. Her feet go down to death; her steps hold on hell." NATURAL AND RIGHT Sex attraction is just as natural as is breathing. God has put into the soul of each sex a potential love for the other and in the breast of each normal man or woman, such attraction lives. And it is as natural to want to gratify it as to wish to eat when you are hungry or to drink when you are thirsty. And when you eat your own food or drink your own water the satisfying of your appetite is not only right, but is a real duty. So it is with sexual things when men can take that their hearts by God's law, by evil law and by the law of her own love, he is a real man living a normal and a happy life. On the other hand when you get food unlawfully it is not only wrong, but dangerous. Even so stolen satisfaction of passion is wrong and like all other wrong things is always harmful. From the yast army of men who have already "lived," I hear the cry—"Yes, Doctor, the doctrine of living clean is all right for the very young man or youth who has never learned to indulge passion. But controlling a perverted passion is an impossibility." I agree with you absolutely. It is a human impossibility and no man who does not desperately lay hold on the strength of God can master the strong callings of passion. But the stronger the passion—the more of a man he will be when he gets strength in his Creator and becomes its master and not its slave. Next week we will give some simple rules which will make it easier for both men and women to conquer and not be conquered by passion, which may be either your despot or your varsol. Resolved: That Shasta Lodge No. 254 knowing of the ability, integrity, sterling character, and loyalty heretofore shown by him in the material and fraternal welfare of our Order, do, in this resolution, consider that the Honorable EDWARD W.

The nations have never been able to do without God, though they have tried it again and again, under differ- ent -circumstances. France tried it but. failed. “Napoleon saw that the nation neded a religion, gp he entered into an agreement. withthe pope, Yes, all nations need religion or life is not at all worth while. They catinot do without God. They may inisunderstand Him and misrepresent Him and change Him into a beast, or a bird, or a monstrosity. in. their minds, and make Him the author of ate and murder and war. But they must have Him in some form, Man needs God. ‘The sun and moon and stars and all the forces of nature proclaim this. The nations that tried to get along without religion became worse than, bestial. France, discarding even a: corrupt religion, was ruled over by the leop- ards of the evening and flowed with hlood, rivers .of blood, and nobody's life Was worth a penny God will not be forgotten. Man is incomplete without Him, Man with- out God is a fool, a conceited beast, an incarnate devil, a wonderfully forfied monstrosity with a_ blinded soul, worse off than the beast, which God has put under his dominion and ziven to him for foot. Edom had not given up God, but had changed His glory into corrupti- bility; in other words, tiring of the restraining and civilizing influence of the true Goi they had made them- selves idolaters, Not willing to strive after God's image they had rejected Him and made them a Goi after their image, So called Christian na- tions, are they not doing the same toilay? Have they not forsaken the true God for a false deity who has vespectrof persons and has forsaken Fishteousness for ~o-called — intelli- ence and oppressive might, ‘So God said of Edom, I will send a fire, upon Teman which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah, ‘Teman” and “Bozrah” were Exiom's two principal cities like New York and Chicago or New Orleans and Atlanta or San Francisco and Los Angeles. “Til burn them up,” said the Lord. “Their palaces shali be dissolved, burned down, consumed. I will make them desolate.” He can do it. Be- lieve it? Where are Sodom and Gomorrah, Babylon and Nineveh, Tyre and Sidon, Pompai and St. Pier- re? God rules in the heavens and watches over cities built with blood and dishonest gain who care not for the finer things of life and sell the soul for sordid silver. He ean destroy and He defend. But what was God's chief. complaint against. Edom, why were they bound to be destroyed? What:.had they lone to merit destruction? What was their sin, their unpardonable judgment-invoKing crimes Four things said the | Spirit-filled Amos. 1. They pursued their brother with he sword, They are trying to do away with the brotherhood of man now. We came from monkeys, some from the ourap-outang, some "from nother kind of monkey. No more protherhool. We are a sort of think- ng beast. Our moral instincts are not'from God but are of our own de- velopment. But the Bible tells us that we all ame from Adam; that God made of ane blood all men, not to niurder and exploit and extermiriate one another, nut “to dwell upon the face ef the arth.” Acts 17:26. “He did pursue his brother with the word.” He is in dep misfortune. He s weak and we are strong. Kill him. hase him. Mob him. Run him own. Hunt him out." Get posses jehind him. Raise riots “against jim. Shoot him down wherever there s provocation, or wherever provoca- ion can be imagined. Pursue him ill he perishes. We. want his room. He pursued his brother.” “ ‘Think you that the God of justice : dead-% that He does not observe hese things? That what . measure nen mete shall not be measured to hem again? That God has forgot- en and forsaken the earth? “He ursyerrhis brother.” TAY the God of heaven wants all en recognize that all other. men ear His similitude. And it is singu- irly unfortunate for the scorner and ppressor who mistreat those who now how to ery unto God. Now unfortunately for themselves nen have never been willing to hear ne cry of God’s prophets nor heed the arnings He gave. On the other and they have hated him as pre- umtuous and stoned him for his aithfulness to their interests. The rophet catches it on every side. “They pursued him with the sword.” 2. They had no pity. No heed for he cry of mercy. The plea for a hance to repent of a rash deed they ive not. They cast off pity. What o they care for orphans’ ery; for he heartache of the widow, for a nother’s fears and tears. They think great to burden the heart and mur- er the innocent or take horrid ven- eance on the guilty. They promise rotection then help destroy. In the ourt rogm they are made to suffer-| or the crimes that others have com- Mikel cea ‘tate Saaen alee, mighty people, take heed, God's fires can't put out, ‘ 8, Perpetual anger, “His anger did fear perpetually," His feelings of fierce hatred keep ‘him seeking to de- grade and devour. He remembers constantly and seeks ever to destroy. The consuming fire is on its way. He shall have measured to him all this again, with interest. 4. He kept his wrath forever. - He nursed it, He handed it down to his children.” He enbalmed it in his books. “He flared it in great scare heads in his newspapers. It destroy- ed his sense of justice, it defeated his honor, ‘it murdered’ his pity, it slew, his generosity, it made him’ for- get ‘God. He shall have judgment without mercy, for God cannot die and cannot lie. God’s book saith that He shall have judgment without mer- ey who showed no mercy. IN MEMORY OF MRS.

We ought to be able to jsell easily the things which we must have. |" “One thing is certaim—we must eat. Many of us must eat three times day. And we must buy the things we eat. We must buy flour, sugar meal,, coffee, tea, canged goods, but- ter, eggs, ments and. many articles too’ numerous to mention. There isa margin of profit in everything. sold. It iva pity that larger margin of this profit is not coming to our own busi- hess men. Now stop a while and consider what this margin of profit might do if more of our grocery’ business went. to our own people. It woul furnish employ- ment to clerks, bookkeepers, delivery men, and. janitors, When we throw all our patronage to the business men of the other race the only place we get to fill is the janitors. We do not despise this place, but if we can cte- fate. more places, why not do so? ‘The Negro groceryman has many handicaps. ‘The day of the small buy- jer in the wholesale grocery markets fs almost past for’ any race. Large eapital can buy much more cheaply than can the company of small means. Most of our grocers are without large capital, and it is difficult for them to meet the competition of the firms with large capital that can buy, and therefore sell more cheaply than can those who are working an small cap- ital. Tam told that about ten or fifteen thousand” dollars” would constitute capital sufficient for starting a groc- ery business on such a scale as to en- able our people to meet the competi- tion of larger grocery companies. T read an advertisement the other day in a magazine which gave the picture of a stockholders’ meeting of a great TIRE Company. The picture showed about a thousand stockhold- ers. 1 thought that if the people who conduet the great business concerns of the country find it necessary to combine their money in order to fos- ter big business, it is certainly time that more of our people would com- bine their money in order to have worthwhile business institutions. How simple a matter it would be for afew people to form a corporation _suffi- ciently large to. capitalize at fifteen or twenty thousand dollars in order to have in Los Angeles a grocery bus- iness capable of receiving the patron- age of a. large number of families. That time is coming I believe. But until {t comes why not help some of those who are already in the grocery business. If our families are so situated that they cannot buy all their groceries from our folk, we are all so situated that we can buy some from them. And we owe it to our- selves that we do this. I am told that there are about five small groc- ery stores among our people in the city. Give them a trial. Give them a chance. If we cannot buy twenty-five See ETE rom thenk, let wo Day. ~ “Entered se Uccond Class Matter November 1%, 1015, at the Post Ofte, at Los Angeles, California, under the Act of March 3, 1879. \ done year. 2.

Upton 8TH ANNUAL CALIFORNIA RAIS IN FESTIVAL ```markdown ``` Once a year the little city of Fresno holds its annual Raisin Day Festival which in itself may not mean much to the average Railroad man, but if you look at it from a racial standpoint, it means much. First, by the showing you make before the vast amount of people that attend the Festival, which, if a creditable one, is bound to leave a lasting impression upon them. Second, it demonstrates the fact that as a race you are not so far behind the other races, as many are only too willing to believe; but to my sorrow this is what I have to relate in regards to the Raisin Day Festival at Fresno. A wonderful parade the only thing that casts a reflection upon the Negro, was no representation; there was absolutely no pronounced part in which the Negro could be mentioned, with the exception of three lone Negroes in the entire parade—one was the Red Cap of the Southern Pacific Depot in Fresno by the name of Jones, who wore his red cap uniform and acted the Street Car conductor on a street car float; the other Negro was in the capacity of a servant, being a coach man in the lead of two spotted ponies bitched a cart, with two little white girls holding the reins; Bakersfield was the only county exhibiting, that had a Negro doing something worth while mentioning, which was playing an instrument in the Bakersfield High School Orchestra. Being a high school student at Bakersfield, enabled him to play in the parade, and believe he played, I don't mean race. He did just his race with a girl who was interested in spectators at the parade. The large band had a beautiful float, the large band had a beautiful float, the large band had a beautiful float, with a large ball of cotton displayed, but although the Negro has always been much in evidence wherever cotton is there were none in connection with this float, I could hardly believe my own eyes when the float passed by. I only pointed out these facts to show you that the white man is drawing further away from you every day—the Fresno Raisin Day Festival brings that point out clearly to every one. We must do something for ourselves. I have not the slightest doubt, but what we could have been ably represented in this historic pageant had we put forth some effort toward getting into it, but we were satisfied to be stuntenders, and not take an actual part. We must WAKE UP and take an interest in these things, as they have a telling effect upon other races in regards to the progress we are making; many notables were there—Governor Richardson and other State officials. CHICAGO MAIDS TO HANDLE SECOND SECTION L. A. LIMITED The volume of business requiring a second section of the L. A. Limited to be run this summer will be handled by the Chicago maids who have been run to Florida all winter. They will operate the train as far as Salis Lake City and return to Los Angeles. The Los Angeles maids will have the preference to the shorter runs if they desire to take them, but short run is Short Money, and it is not thought that many of the regular girls will rush for the short end of the bacon. Mrs. Blanche Mattison is now in Clara Well's place, and is running regular. R. Tindal let a headboard fall on his foot. Wasn't that a foolish thing to do? Ever since T. Harris caught the Sacramento Baseball team he has lost all interest in baseball. W. A. Clark was musically inclined until recently when he caught a ton and bottom load of musicians out of San Bertoo and brushed down car fare, now he can't stand to hear the clock chime. V. Tate used to go to see the vaudevill show every time he got the chance, until he caught that troop out of Fresno last week; and now, well, it's just too bad. They tell me that when Tod Lowry read that piece in the Clatter last week about J. Moore looking for a room at J. T. Ambrose's house, he put him out, and when he went to get the room at Ambrose's house, Ambrose had no room—so they say poor Johnny is out all around now and is stopping at the quarters. Of course, this is only hearsay, so you will have to ask him. J. S. is on the sick list, and the writer will be very thankful if Mrs. S. A. Hopgood will leave that promised package with the platform man. I have stood by last inspection. W. M. Mitchell is determined not to do any hard work, s she bumper poor Hicks. Mr. L. A. Coffin is still on the sick list, also H. E. Fry. D. Hood and many others. The office will gladly give any porter a list who requests one. E. Sorsby, W. Glenn and W. H. Bailey have been off for one week or the L. A. Chamber of Commerce Special. Glenn seems to hang to their specials, they say he is Mr. Bayer's right hand man. ```markdown ``` Many Porters are now running to Oakland, trying to find out 'where If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened Kid Ollison's ranch is. Mr. Thatcher is planning to go on the road as conductor, quitting his platform job at the Santa Fe. J. Lee who formerly operated in the Coast pool is now running on the Owl. Porter L. J. Green is considered by many as an expert accountant on Pullman time, if in doubt, consult him, it pays. Arthur Glover, Red Cap at the Arcade station was an interested spectator at the Raisin Day Festival in Fresno last week. They tell me that the Maids are not stomping at Mr. Peters house any time I ask you so! Those Chicago Maids sure do have a hard time out here in Sunny California. Why not stay at the Billmore, girl! Mr. Supt, since you are so liberal and are in the mood of giving, why not give us poor porters a pair of pants free, we will buy the coat. 00 BY: ATTY. CALVIN W. MURDOCK 1100 Central Ave. Q. Atty. Murdieck, in selecting a lawyer, should one take under consideration his character as well as his ability and efficiency? A. Yes. The character of any person is a very important matter in personal relations and work, and this is especially so in the work of a law year. It determines success or failure for the lawyer as surely as the revolution of the earth determines day and night. Every man faced with the necessity of entrusting to the hands of a lawyer his personal relations, property rights, liberties, and sometimes even life itself, considers first that lawyer's character. Therefore, the character of every lawyer is reflected in the quality of his professional services as his clients and the public knows. Q. A is operating a collection agency, and receives a claim for collection from B., but tatler found out that he could not collect the claim without a law suit and he sent the claim to C. an attorney who performed the legal services in connection therewith and also succeeded collecting the claim. May the attorney divide his fee with the collection agency? A. The attorney of professional fees with those not in the profession detracts from the essential dignity of the practitioner and his profession; and admits to his emoluments those who cannot lawfully perform its outfits. If the legal services involve the bringing of suit, such division is prohibited by our Penal Law. Foil Efforts Of Big Railway Brotherhoods To Cripple Labor Board (By: the A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., April 19.—What seemed to be an effort on the part of the Big Railway Labor Union sponsoring the Watson-Parker Railroad Labor Board to kill the effectiveness of the present Railroad Labor Board and force action on the new law now awaiting action by the senate through their rejuvenal to nominate for the labor group was foiled by action of the smaller organizations listed as Group Commission and the interstate Commerce Commission when the representative of the Fourth Labor Group met at a Chicago this week and sent nominations to President Goodice. The President had already sent to the Senate the games of former Governor B. W. Hooper and Mr. Higgins for reappointment. The brotherhood men announced that they had not nominated since with the passage of the bill they are hoping to have enacted the present board would be abolished and no labor member was sent to the president by them. Immediately a conference was held at Chicago by the Independent organizations, one of which is the Railway Men's International Benvolent Association headed by R. L. Mays, the others present being smaller white organizations not affiliated with the big unions. Proper credentials were hastened to Washington in support of telegrams nominating Walter L. McMinimin of Boston, present labor member and former Deputy President of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen who failed to be certified by his organization. Mays also submitted names of Karl Phillips of Washington, D. C., Conciliator in the U. S. Department of Labor, and Alonzo C. Thayer of Chicago and Atlanta, a labor expert of the Urban League. Having before him the requisite number of nominations demanded by the law, the president sent in the name of Mr. McMeniem who hails from his own state and who is an old friend and able labor representative of many years' experience. R. L. Mays says this will enable the present Board to function legally and hopes that several cases affecting the wages and working conditions of race employees now pending before the Board will be brought to a decision favorable to the men. In politics Mr. McMeniem is a republican and has all the New England characteristics of fairness where the interest of our group is concerned. A pretty luncheon was given at Christian's Tavern on Vernon avenue, by Mrs. Clara Webster of 869 Iroli street, honoring Mrs. Frank Otey and Mrs. Grant Campbell of Chicago. Covers were laid for Mesdames George Baber, H. H. Southard, J. B. Thomas, James White, A. J. Maloney and the honored guests. PHONE: HUMBOLT 1844 L. G. ROBINSON President PING 103 PINGELUS FONERAL HOME BROOKS A RACE ENTERPRISE, OWNED AND CONUCTED BY REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS NOAH WAS NOT A PROHIBITIONIST Philadelphia, Pa., April 29—Wets can now take cognizance to the fact that Noah, navigator of the Ark, was not a prohibitionist. It is well known to all readers of the Bible, for the Good Book relates how the famous skipper celebrated the termination of the deluge with liberal sips from the wine cup. But what will interest prohibitionists, perhaps, more than Bible students, was revealed Friday night in a lecture by Dr. Paul Haupt, professor of Assyriology at John Hopkins University, to the effect that Noah stacked the hold of his Ark with a good-sized cargo of wine, beer, brandy, and whatever other spirituous concoctions were in vogue in antediluvian. Dr Haupt spoke before the American Oriental Society and said that Noah, being president in supplying his Ark for the "many may" was revealed in the translation of a cublet discovered in Nineveh by George Smith, of the British Museum. Dr. Haupt made a translation of the tablet, which he said, read in parts "With beer and brandy, oil and wine, I filled large jars as with the water of a river. For our food I手提tered oxen and killed food day by day." translation also describes, according to Dr. Haupt the manner in which Noah cut down trees in the jungle and built the Ark, which consisted of six decks divided into seven compartments. Two-thirds of the Ark, after being loaded, was below the water-line. Studio-Recital On Sunday afternoon, April 18th, ten intermediate pupils of Elmer C.

VOTE NO ON PROPOSITIONS 3 AND 4 Staunch and worthwhile friends of the race are asking us to help them out Wilshire way with our votes by voting No on Propositions No. 3 and 4 at the special election next Friday. We are inclined to listen to their plea and accede to their request, for when staunch friends of the race like W. G. McAdoo and others appeal to us upon a civic proposition it is worthwhile to give the same due consideration. They argue that Wilshire is one of the major boulevards to the sea and a driveway it should remain for the edification of the people who use the same from time to time. That it is justifiable pride for even the humblest citizen to have the use of this boulevard without passing through a maze of business blocks, warehouses, studios, etc. The mere fact that they drive out the boulevard to the sea is to momentarily get away from such scenes as this. They want it to remain a real boulevard amid its quaint scenery and that all who ride may always see the full beauty thereof.

POOR OLD EAST SIDE, S OTH The hearty declaration by pot plan in declaring they will road will ever be erected West o to the residents East of Main st Hon. W. E. Houston, commissioner of education for the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World has indeed performed a real service for the forward march of the people, by entering whole heartedly into the big educational plan as put forward by that organization for the first time. The week devoted to Education from the 11th inst. to the 16th we learn has been a magnificent success and the funds raised will be applied wholly to the education of the youth of the land. The following statement by Judge Houston gives a comprehensive insight of the highly meritorious undertaking by this growing organization: Today, the American Negro begins a week, that future generations will regard as epocalyx. In making this statement, I am referring to the Elk first National Educational Week. For, as far as I am able to know the levying of a general assessment for the education of our youth the same to be annual, was first done by the Fraternal Order of Elks in its Grand Lodge Session at Richmond, Va., in August, 1925. In addition thereto, we are having our first attempt as a Race to make a survey to our school conditions in the various localities where our Lodges and Temples are located; of course our survey will appear very insufficient so far as the professional Educational Expert will say and find; this we frankly admit, but on the other hand in the Six Hundred localities where we are represented by Lodges and Temples, we will at least get the Layman's view of a cross section of our Educational problem, so far as school conditions and facilities are concerned. And then too, still more important we will get a very vivid impression of to what extent, are we, as a race taking advantage of the school facilities and opportunities such as we now have. And then the important question, if we are not, why not will in a measure be answered. The answer is it is to arouse all of the American people, white and black of all bloods, as far as One Hundred and Fifty Thousand male and female members of this great Orden can, to the World necessity of a full and complete Education of all people which includes the American Negro and to make absolutely certain that through our efforts at least One Hundred young men and women of our race, have the opportunity of attending schools for higher training who otherwise would not have had the opportunity. By direct taxation upon ourselves we have raised in excess of $15,000 to be distributed for the year beginning September, 1926, to the youth of our race, irrespective of whether they are themselves selves connected either directly or indirectly with our Order. Therefore we feel free to call upon a generous public to assist us in augmenting our Scholarship Fund through the various Lodges and Temples in the various and widely dispersed localities throughout the nation, and by the same token I think it entirely fitting to invite the eligible public to come into our Order to assist in carrying out this great program. POOR OLD EAST SIDE. S OTHEY SAY The hearty declaration by the opponents of a Union Depot plan in declaring they will see to it that no elevated railroad will ever be erected West of Main street, is not reassuring to the residents East of Main street at all.

To our way of thinking this is right in line and gives our people the opportunity of meeting this distinguished gentleman face to face and to hear him state his case. After hearing for themselves it will aid much in untangling this situation which our group has gotten into in so far as recognition is concerned in state politics. It is a well known fact that the group has been given the cold shoulder for years in so far as recognition under a state administration is concerned. The last recognition was by Governor Hiram Johnson whose administration made W. E. Easton, Custodian of State Offices in this city. It was also under Hiram Johnson's administration that F. A. Butler was given a very lucrative as well as representative position at the State Capitol. PAGE SIX REAL LEADER RIGHT IN LINE ```markdown ``` IF YOU FAIL TO READ THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE YOU MA Y NEVER KNOW IT HAPPENED Succeeding Senator Johnson came Governor Stephens, who absolutely failed to give to our group any recognition whatever. They resented the slight and by a great degree of unanimity voted against his nomination for Governor Friend Richardson who became the beneficiary for he was nominated and elected. Now, be it known, that Governor Richardson, thus far has been a big disappointment in so far as the proposition of giving recognition to our group is concerned. He has, absolutely failed up to this hour to look once our way so far as political recognition is concerned. Now, this situation leaves our group in the position to keep up with the trend of events until we finally locate the man who truly and faithfully recognizes all classes of his constituents to the extent that he will give to them at least some semblance of equality of opportunity. This is all we ask and this we have a right to expect. EAST PICO MEETS The East Pico Improvement Association, the smallest unit in the Federation, by way of territory covered, but officered by an energetic president and secretary met on last Tuesday evening at the Urban League on Central avenue. EAST WASHINGTON IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION The East Washington Improvement Association, which holds its meetings the first and third Monday evenings, at the Independent Church, met on last Monday evening. A very helpful meeting was conducted, under the leadership of President Smith and Mrs. Bayless, secretary. Therefore this moment is not too early for the opportunity of coming in contact with Mr. Goodcell and to form our opinion as to his stand along the lines above spoken. And finally, to hear him upon all the issues and take the same under due and timely consideration. We should therefore be thankful for the opportunity afforded that at this time Mr. Goodcell will state his case. Hear all aspirants, including the Governor himself, and then make up our minds as to which one is our best selection. SICK WOMAN TOLD THAT SHE MIGHT RIDE IN BAGGAGE CAR REPORT BROUGHT TO EAST JEFFERSON ASSN. Mr. Jrome Hubert, treasurer of the East Jefferson Improvement Association, is being proved a true prophet. At the organization of the Federation, he predicted that East Jefferson would be one of the leading associations in the Federation. The organization which meets the first and third Tuesdays in the month is doing some very good work. On last Tuesday night, block captains were appointed in the district. A committee was appointed to investigate the verity of the statement, that in the redistribution of funds for school tunnels, that no appropriation was made for a tunnel on Central avenue. An alarming case of discrimination was reported by Mrs. J. J. Christian, secretary of the association, on the part of the Southern Pacific R. R. which refused to sell a berth or stateroom to a colored woman for her sick daughter, whom she wished to send from Los Angeles to Texas. Space was offered the sick woman in the baggage car. Only the noble and very commendable work of Mr. Conner of Conner-Johnson & Co., undertakers, saved the sick woman from being taken from Los Angeles to the baggage car. A committee was appointed to interview Mr. Conner and get the facts on this case of gross discrimination by the Southern Pacific R. R. BOARD HOLDS LAST MEETING OF MONTH AT CHRISTIAN TAVERN, ON SATURDAY The last meeting of the Board of the Federation, for the month of April will be held at the Christian Tavern, 1318 East Vernon on this Saturday night, April 24, at 8 P. M. sharp. All board members are urged to be present. ATTY. JENNINGS TO ADDRESS PICO HEIGHTS ASSN. We are sure that on last Thursday night, the majority of the Pico Heights Improvement Association, stayed at home to listen to the radio program, which it was supposed to enjoy in a body, at its last regular meeting of the month. However, the members which were present, enjoyed a well prepared report from President George Baber, on the questions of civic interest, that are before the association at the present time, the president discussed intelligently and well, the proposition of a Union Station, the Police and Firemen's raise, the welfare of 10th street, the Pico Heights Association should go on record as either approving or disapproving the widening of 10th street, as this proposition is of vital importance to the neighborhood. Atty. E. C. Jennings, has been invited to speak for the association at its next meeting, which will be held on the first Thursday in May. All are acquainted with Avery and Gage, who will deliver, and we are sure that all of Pico Heights will come out to hear him. ALL ASSOCIATIONS REPORT AT MEETING OF APRIL FEDERATION A wide awake gathering of delegates and visitors from the eight Associations of the Federation, met at the St. Paul Baptist Church, 21st and 'Naomi, on last Saturday night. The association had expected to hear a report on the school situation, but unfortunately the chairman of the Schools and Playgrounds company was added to the present of a very important call meeting of his neighborhood association and the report was not received. COMMITTEE ON PLAN AND PURPOSES REPORTS The Committee on Plans and Purposes gave a most excellent written report, in which the plans and purposes of the Federation were outlined. This report the committee will have printed in pamphlet form, in order that any one desiring to know the object and purpose of the Federation can gain such information by reading the pamphlet. ASS'N. NOTES COMMITTEE ON PROPOGANDA The Committee on Propoganda, pledged its tool fto attend to the writing and writing printed, during the month of May, $500 leave to be mailed to prominent white individuals and organizations in the city. A copy of this letter, the contents of which will be carefully worded by a committee appointed, to do the same, will be submitted to the Board, for its approval before being printed. The points dealt with in the letter will be the injustice and un-Americanism of Residential Segregation according to race, and the hardship of the increasing difficulty of colored men and women to find employment, in Los Angeles. The committee also plans as soon as it has raised sufficient funds, to begin each week, to have something worth while that our race has accomplished, published in the daily papers. In fact, the object of this committee Mr. Geo. Beavers, Jr., chairman which declares itself to be the most wide-awake committee in the Federation, is to KEEP the GOOD things the WORTHY things, the WORTH WHILE things that our race is doing before the public, in short to educate the white man to the fact that all Negroes, are not the "Sambos," thieves and villains, that they are represented as being in the papers, on the stage and in the present. The committee requests that anyone interested in helping with such a work get in touch with its chairman at his office, 3512 Centra Ave, HUmbolt 8312. ORGANIZATION COMMITTEES MERGE The Organization Committee reports that the local organization committee of the Feederization and the State organization committee of this body have merged, making one committee with a chairman and associate chairman. These joint committees have been doing some very good work and state that Watts will be their next objective. Many residents of this wide-awake little town, having requested, thats Neighborhood Improvement Association be located there. It is expected that, a report showing some, hard and faithful work done, will be made by the Home Beautification and Improvement Committee, Mrs. Iwai Slaughter, chairman, at our May meeting of the Federation, as June is the "Home Beautification Month of the Federation, and so much is compelled to be done in the way of securing finance for the prizes to be offered in the contest to be held during this month. This committee pledges itself to do its part in reversing the sentiment against the Negro, in California in the next five years, by encouraging members of our race to clean up their homes, vards, street and children. Anyone interested in cleaner and more beautiful homes for our race, will kindly get in touch with Mrs. Slaughter at ATlantic 0905. BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIES COMMITTEE The Business and Industries Committee of the Federation, Mr. S. B. W. May, chairman, is doing some very good work, having held three meetings, during the past month. This committee is working under the direct leadership of the Negro Business Men's League and the committees from the two organizations promise a real wide-awake Better Business Month in May. The month will begin with NEGRO TRADE WEEK, May 4th to 9th inclusive. It is expected that during this week, every Colored person in the city will buy something from a shoe string up, from Negro Business Houses. This is not intended as a boycott on any other group's business but to insist upon co-operation for that week, thereby starting the habit of trading with our own business men. WELCOME VISITORS Among the visitors present at the monthly meeting of the Federation were: Mrs. H. W. Markham; Mrs. Rosa Hudson; Mr. Edward R. Long; Mrs. L. D. Pruitt; Mrs. M. L. Warren; Dr. A. C.

Appearing in the event show against the expere ern, Gans made a showing th him as the future lightweight c McGovern didn't take a round from the reincarnated 'Old Master'. He did take a beating that few battlers could stand up under. Gans swarmed over the fighter from New Orleans from the first round until the last, jabbing with his left, crossing and uppercutting with his right or hooking with powerful left. Gane displayed everything that comes under the category of clean boxing, and had not the low weight 1334 pounds weakened him Gans would surely have knocked McGovern out. In all of the ten rounds McGovern scarcely laid a glove on the clever local boy. Fans from Fresno. Bakersfield and several northern cities journeyed all the way to Los Angeles to see Gans and cheer him in his first start as a big attraction at Vernon. Pasadena sent over at least two hundred fans and the Alexson Machinery Company where Gans formerly was an employee and at least five hundred in the Vernon Coliseum. Afro-American fight fans turned out to be the biggest drawing cool that Gans is the greatest drawing cool that I is ever come from these parts.

Bowe Post of the American Legion is having as special guests the members of the Verdugo Post of the American Legion. Altho the Verdugo Post will turn out in large numbers there will be plenty of room for the regular Saturday night Legion Club patrons. Admission on Saturday nights is only 50 cents, with no cover charge. Last Sunday the Legion was packed to the limit and the same large crowd is expected this Sunday. Additional chairs and tables are being put in by the management. Tennis Chatter ALPHA TO HOLD ROUND ROBIN TOURNEY MAY 9TH, WOMEN'S AND MEN'S SINGLES; EVERY- BODY INVITED TO PLAY (By: WILLIAM MELLS WATSON) The Alpa Nennis Club this week announces to the cock-eyel world that every human being who is able to wave a catgut tennis paddle is invited to join in the first round robin open tournament ever held by our group on the Pacific Coast, Sunday, May 9th on the courts of either the Jefferson High School at 38th and Hooper on the Ross Snyder Playground at 38th and Compton. FULL O' PEP AND KICK Should the Westside Ladies Tennis Club hold their annual tourney date as usual May 30th, (although so far no announcement has been made) the May 9th affair will act as a feeder to same, and will put the boys and girls in fine fettle for the Memorial Day struggle. But if not, some other club ought to take up the burden and hold a California State Championship tournament in their stead, with permission from the Federation. A round robin will be enjoyed by every entrant, as rocket swinger in the affair gets a chance to battle four games with every other player, and the winner is the one still alive at the end when the others are sniffing smelling salts, or the total number of games won determines the winner as in whist, etc. What do you think of it? Let's be sure we whaling away 'NO ENTRY FEEWING ONE' Among some of the attractive features of Alpha's unusual hospitable and generous offer, is that there is actually to be no entry fee charged. Can you beat it? REFRESHMENTS FREE TO PLAYERS That isn't all folks, listen, drink drinks and sandwiches will be given to players free for nuthin', get that please. No Alpha hasn't gone goofy, but these are the orders laid down by vice-president Ballinger Presley Kemp at Alpha's last meeting and orders are orders. And look who is on the committee—William Marshall Dunn, 3410 S. Normandie, EMPIre 9578; Eddie Nathaniel Harris, 9381 Pace Ave., DELaware 8859; William Mells Watson, 228-B N. Bonnie Brae St., DRexel 9019; and Ballinger Presley Kemp, 922 E. 41st, AXridge 2940. Call 'em up and get all the dope right if you don't believe us. PRIZES FOR EACH EVENT And on top of that, the winner of both events, men singles and women, will tell a bobby prize but a handsome trophy emblematic of the West's first round robin tournament. Lincoln Giants Win (By: the A. N. P.) New York, April 20—The Lincoln Giants defeated the crack Camden, N. J. Club, white, at the New York Catholic Protection, Sunday af- ternoon by a score of 9 to 7.

J., April 19.—Margaret Elizabeth Wallace, well-known in church circles of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church throughout the country, died recently in Montclair, N. J. Mrs. Wallace had lived in various cities throughout the country, but had spent the latter portion of her life in Washington, D. C., and other eastern cities. She was+ the widow of the Rev. Sam B. Wallace, one of the most celebrated clergymen of the C. M. E. Church. The late Rev. Wallace had held the leading pastorate in that connection. Mrs. Wallace had been in failing health for some time. She was sixty-seven years old, having been born in Lexington, S. C., in 1859. She was a woman of fine qualities and endearled herself to all with whom she came in contact. WORK SCARCE IN THE NORTH URBAN LEAGUE SOUNDS WARNING New York City, April 17.—The Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League acting on reports from local secretaries and advisors throughout the country, calls attention to the scarcity of work in the North. Here and there may be found small cities in which the colored man or woman may find employment, but both the large and small cities to which Negroes have been accustomed to go are plentifully supplied with Laborers. Especially is this true of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas, Cayton, Youngstown, Buffalo, Minneapolis, 'St. Paul, Newark, and Hartford, Connecticut. The general unsettled labor conditions in the East were aggravated by strikes which cause more unemployment than is usual at this time of year. It is estimated that in New York City alone 250,000 men and women are on strike. To those who are planning to come North at this period of the year when newcomers usually leave their homes in the South, the League advises careful selection in order not to be disappointed in securing work. This suggestion seems wise in view of the number of applicants from the South seeking work above the Mason-Dixon line. TID-BITS By: LOENARD MASSENBURGE For every man who is unable to stand prosperity there are millions who would like to try. Possibly the tide has something to do with the number of knots made by a vessel. The fashion of plucking eyebrows has long bene practiced in Chile. The good housewife will never beat a carpet when it's down. The piper plays the pipes, but the plumber gets the plums. A pretty new hat may not effect a woman's brain, but it always goes to her head. A good penman may drive a pen, but pencils are better lead. About 400,000 tons of stone were used in the United States last year for the making of tombstones. The State of Indiana has thirty-three villages and towns with names containing but three letters. On an average a city dweller breathes from 25 to 30 pounds of smoke and soot every year. Hi-Y men well represented their respective schools last week in literary and athletic achievements. Bernard Jefferson of Manual Tool second place. Belle Bille of Orontological Contest.

GOLDEN STATE GUARANTEE FUND INSURANCE CO. BY J. M. NICKSORG BY Herman O. HOUSTON RECEIVED ARGUMENT AGAINST THE ZONING OF WILSHIRE BOULEVARD FOR CERTAIN BUSINESS PURPOSES WEST OF WESTERN 3- Shall the ordinance, being Ordinance No. 52,144 (New Series), permitting the use for certain business purposes, as specified in Zone "C" in Ordinance No. 42,666 (New Series), of property fronting on Wilshire Boulevard (and certain adjoining lots) between a point approximately one-half block west of Rimpau Boulevard, be adopted? 1- Shall the ordinance, being Ordinance No. 52,145 (New Series), permitting the use for certain business purposes, as specified in Zone "C" in Ordinance No. 42,666 (New Series), of property fronting on the north side of Wilshire Boulevard between Detroit Street and Curson Avenue, and on the South side thereof between Detroit Street and a point approximately 180 feet East of Spaulding Avenue, be adopted? VOTE NO on propositions 3 and 4. Wilshire Boulevard West of Western is at present in Zone B which permits the erection and maintenance of dwellings, tenements, hotels, lodging houses, churches, private clubs, public or semi-public institutions of an educational, philanthropic or eleemosynary nature, railroad passenger station and the usual access ories located on the same lot or parcel of land with any of said buildings, including the office of a physician, dentist or other person authorized by law to practice medicine and including private garage containing necessary and convenient space for automobiles; and also permits the renting of one or more rooms and providing for table board in a dwelling or apartment occupied as a private residence, providing no window or other display or sign is used to advertise such use. Buildings for these purposes may now be erected on Wilshire Boulevard, and it would seem tha at a wide latitude is given for development. The exploiters of Wilshire Boulevard are not satisfied and to this list d'esire to add other businesses permitted in Zone C. If the two propositions Numbers 3 and 4 are carried, the present restrictions will be nullified and this will permit wholesale and retail businesses, places of amusement, offices, studios, conservatories, dancing ac demies, carpenter shops, cleaning and dyeing establishments, painting, paper hanging and decorating stores, dressmaking parlors, laundries, millinery stores, photograph galleries, plumbing shops, furniture ware-houses, roofing and plastering establishments, tailor and tinsmith shops, hospitals and sanitariums, upholsterer establishments, dog and cat hospitals, commercial garages, board houses and other similar enterprises and businesses. Every resident has taken a pride in Wilshire Boulevard. The two ordinances submitted will fix definitely the character of this great boulevard for all time to come. If a majority of electors vote "NO" on the two ordinances submitted, Wilshire Boulevard West of Western will retain its present character and will become the greatest show street on the coast. Wilshire Boulevard belongs to the entire city of Los Angeles and every resident should be interested in its future. Every voter should vote "NO" on ordinance No. 52144 New Series Proposition No. 3 on the ballot and ordinance No. 52145 New Series, Proposition No. 4 on the ballot amending ordinance No. 42666 New Series for the following reasons: 1. VOTE NO and prevent laundries, hospitals, undertaking establishments, cat and dog hospitals, cleaning and dye works, and other business enumerated above from being established on Wilshire Boulevard West of Western. (Permitted in Zone "C." See City Charter.) 2. VOTE NO and preserve the present property values on Wilshire Boulevard. If the restrictions are removed, the property values will collapse if the kind of businesses are permitted which are authorized in Zone "C." 3. VOTE NO and protect the residential character of the property adjoining Wilshire Boulevard. Should the ordinances be carried by the people, the value of residential property adjoining cheap business establishments will be destroyed. 4. VOTE NO and keep Wilshire Boulevard West of Western a great thoroughfare from the City to the sea. 5. VOTE NO and sustain the City Planning Commission. The Commission made a careful study of the situation and unanimously recommended against placing the property West of Western on Wilshire Boulevard in Zone "C." This Commission has only the welfare of the city at heart and made its finding after careful deliberation. 6. VOTE NO and preserve the last opportunity to have one real beautiful boulevard widened to accommodate the traffic. made pleasing with shade trees and flowers and join the new University to the City by a street not clustered with cheap buildings. 7. VOTE NO as there is no legitimate demand outside of the speculators to add approximately five miles to the business district. 8. VOTE NO because there are too many lots now zoned for business, the proportion being one lot zoned for business for every two zoned for residence. 9. VOTE NO and sustain the Supreme Court of the State of California. On February 27th, 1925, the Supreme Court rendered its decision and unheld the Findings of the Referee to the effect that Wilshire Boulevard was destined to become a great show street when widened and beautified as contemplated, and that the encroachment of business upon the boulevard in unnecessary and would be a great detriment to the future residential development of this thoroughfare. The Court said: "That Findings of the Referee do not show that Wilshire Boulevard is better adapted for business than for residential purposes." 10. VOTE NO because the present ordinances do not restrict the kind or value of the business blocks, and Wilshire Boulevard may be lined with one story cheaply constructed buildings most with "To Let" signs in the windows. The above is a facsimile of a check for One Thousand ($1000.00) Dollars paid to the beneficiary of Mrs. Maude Banks, deceased, twenty minutes after the proof of death statements were received in the office of the Company. This is another example of the superior Golden State service. The prompt attention given to the sick, accident and death claims, the employment given our men, women, boys, and girls, the fact that the entire resources of this company are used for racial uplift and economic development is sufficient and indisputable evidence as to the worthiness and merit of our institution, and sufficient recommendation to all right thinking men and women of our group who are in need of insurance protection. The rapid growth and popularity of this Company can be traced directly to the real satisfying service that it renders to its large number of policy-holders. Remember, this is the ONLY Company in the WEST that offers you ALL of the THREE great benefits afforded by Life Insurance—Life Protection—Home Protection—And Employment.

By: ANDRAE NORDSKOG Chairman Board of Governors, Pee) ples Telephone Commission For the third time i eight months the so-called’ Mayor's Telephone Com- inittee breaks into print to tell. the | public what it is going to do about the telephone rates. THE TRUTH ABOUT IT. When the writer was a member of the mayor's committee he tride des- perately to get that committee to represent the suffering rate payers at the railroa commission hearing in November and December, 1925, but the politica! group that governed its affairs refuse! to attend the hearings and would not give me legal aid in order % properly present valuable facts to the commission. To this date there is not one line of protest, com- plaint or petition of any kind in the office of the railroad commission from. the mayor'= committee during the eight months of the committee's ex- istence, : T was compelled to go through the two hearings before the railroad com- mission independent of the mayor's committee. 1 examined the city and state witnesses and brought out dam- aging evidence as to the inaccuracy of the telephone meters. The trans- cript wil bear me out in this, After the December hearing I filed a bref containing 35 citations of errors of ommission as well a- errors of com- mission. In this damaging brief I demanded a delay of the order call- ing for metered service. Immediately the railroad commission granted a thirty day delay to February Ist, 1926. ‘On January. Lith, under <he auspices of our newly formed Feoples Telephone Commission, I filed a. com- plaint against the Bell telephone truxt with the United States Inter-State Commerce Commission and asked fot a public hearing on matters that the railroa| commission seemed powerles: to review. On the very next day the railroad commission “extended — th delay in the metered service orde! until March 21st, 1926., This delay re sulted in saving many hundred thous and dollars to the rate payers of thi city. As I am writing this article, Mr ‘Thomas Fairbanks, says that he wa informed by the railroad commissio that our city attorney did not eve file a brief after the November an December hearings. This being true then who did get the delay for th rate payers? DEMAND TH] TRUTH. The writer did file a brie and in that brief did ask for a dela in the enforcement of the metered set viee and the delay was granted. Yo may raw your own conclusions. WHO GOVERNS MAYOR’?
