Oscar Hudson, Liberian Transportation S. S. and Execsor Mining Company last Sunday on board the CHIAPAS at San Pedro addressed a large gathering of the company's friends and stockholders. In his eloquent manner he described the inauguration of a direct steamship line from Los Angeles port to Liberia as a modern romance of business. It is a romance—a dream come true. It is none the less romantic because business men take the place of knights errant, or because the gonfalons of chivalry have given way to the pennants of commerce. It is the beginning of the realization of a dream long dreamed and houses long deferred. A slave was held in physical bondage. By great industry and frugal it was possible for a slave to purchase his freedom; but with this attained he found himself in possession of only a mockery of freedom because it did not enrich him. It the rights of citizenship never even the right to express a voice in the government under which he live and reared his children. In order that these slaves, who by one means on another had gained their "freedom," might enjoy the rights of citizenship and live as free men in truth as well as in name, some New England white philanthropists fostered a movement to establish a free and independent government by and for the Negro race on the continent of Africa. In 1822 the first "settlers" arrived on the West Coast of that continent and landed at a point known as Sierra Leone. They met with serious opposition from the natives in this section and were compelled to move farther south to a territory less hostile but none the less rich and inviting. Here where the coast of Africa begging its great sweep to the Eastward was established the colony of Liberia. After the many dangerous and trying vicissitudes of pioneer life in a wild an insurrection against these heroic pioneers established in 1847 under the sponsorship of President James Monroe the Republic of Liberia, framing their government after that of the United States and naming the city to Molton诺西亚. A new flag was unfurled in the galaxy of nations; a new challenge to human slavery and to despotism was issued to mankind; a new destiny was born. After a century of struggle against the predatory white powers of Europe, Liberia stands today with most of her original territory intact, her integrity established, and her ideals unsullied. The thing that so strongly links the sentiment of the colored race all over the world with Liberia and which so strongly claims the fealty and affection of the race is the fact that on the whole continent where Eritrea is located, the whole world, indeed—there is no another spot of terrain that the Negro can point to and say, "That is my hom! There is one spot on the face of the earth where I am sovereign." Fate seems to exercise an irony in the destiny of nations as in the destiny of individuals. Like the Osage Indians in our own country, the colonists and founders of Liberia were compelled to go to a spot which was remote and which was considered worthless by the rest of mankind—a place no one else wanted. And like the land of the Osages, Liberia in recent years has proved to be a very treasure-house of natural riches; so rich, indeed, that now, when it is too late for predatory white governments to dare confiscation or the establishment of "protectorates" it is found that no territory on earth is more valuable to modern business or more necessary to the world's continued commercial development. Professor Edward Pittman, a Liberian educator of not who is now in this section as a special representative of the Monrovin Chamber of Commerce, in speaking to a mass meeting on the Chipasap last Sunday told the amazing story of the development of this natural wealth. Liberia would be immensely wealthy if it produced nothing but rubber. Her territory has no less than twenty-two indigenous trees and plants which produce this commodity so essential to the maintenance of human life, and commerce. Very little rubber is as yet artificially cultivated; and yet rubber to the value of $80,000.00 was taken out of the country in five months! With proper planting and cultivation this commodity alone will total millions of dollars. In addition to this immense potential wealth, Liberia has large forests of valuable hard-wood which include mahogany in 'great quantity. So plentiful and accessible is this precious wood that whole houses are sometimes built of it. Coffee and palm oil of the finest quality can be produced with little expense and in great quantities. Gold is plentiful in nugget form among the natives who use it for personal decoration. Precious stones are commonly found, and ivory in quantity is easily available. (To be continued) L. A. Deltas Breakfast With Honorary Soror Mary M. Bethune FAY JACKSON With the charming simplicity of the truly great, Mary McCleed Bethune, foremost woman of the Negro Race, sat at honored guest at breakfast last Saturday morning given by her sorors of Delta Sigma Theta sorority of which she is an honorary member. Among four young college women representing both local chapters of the sorority together with visiting sorors of various eastern colleges assembled at Christian's Tavern to receive this eminent woman who so beautifully represents the finest of womanhood in the Negro race—in fact, a woman of whom any race may be justly proud. (A short period of introductions and subdued conversations, then, all as once, unannounced and quite unceremoniously, Mary McCleed Bethune burst forth with a electrifying "Girls, Girls! I must speak. I cannot lose this precious time"... It was the human geyser breaking, through releasing a volley of personal magnetism unmistakeable in its purpose and its aim. "It is such a rare treat," continued the speaker, "to meet young women such as you, fresh and idealistic, full of the hopes and aspirations of youth, that I must tell you how very, very happy I am." The desire to see at least 50,000 young women co-operating with the National Association of Colored Women was expressed by soror Bethune. "For," she explained, "we need the young woman's viewpoint; we need her vigor and enthusiasm. Our group is judged largely by the masses of our people, not by the cultured college women but by those in the humber callings of life. Yours must not be an existence of exclusion and snobbery but a life of active service, "Lifting as you climb." In a plea for a stronger organization of Colored women, Mrs. Bethune said that the work of men is heralded and adored while that of women is given last place or entirely overlooked. "We must go to the front," cried the Black Joan, "and take our rightful place; fight our battles and claim our victories!" Thus was Mary McCleod Bethune: a woman with a purpose; an artery of life, pulsating with energy; and indeed, a woman of women consecrated to the noblest aim in life: Service. Indeed it was a beautiful hour and Delta Sigma Theta is extremely proud to have been hostess to its honroary soror Sharing honors with Mrs. Bethune was her secretary, Mrs. Taylor, herself a woman of exceeding keen judgment who said in a personal interview with the writer, "To me, the problems of the New Negro People are two-fold—Economic and Palitic. We are as yet a people of only superficial crust without the fundamental substance necessary to a sound race-building. We have taken over the finer points of the white man's civilization and overlooked the fundamental ones but until we include in our program of upbuilding self-reliance and resourcefulness, until we are able to back up our progress with the sound and practical things, which in America spells economic wealth, we shall forever remain a dependent, imitating people. Our political strength, of course, the other important means of tieing up our growth and power. Stand back of the men and women, black or white who have our interests at heart, regardless of party affiliations . . . see that our representatives are fostering the best and cleanest ideals. Stand back of them with your vote and stand as a Unifi! This pragmatic philosophy came from the mind of a woman, strangely suitital, singularly practical. It was the echo of the Present-Day Negro Woman, alert to the problems confronting her race. A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGEES, CAL., AUGUST 20, 1926 [Image of a man's face with a serious expression, wearing a dark suit and a tie.] SENATOR SHORTRIDGE Senator Shortridge's ability and loyalty have brought his state new prestige in national affairs. He is a member of the powerful Senate Finance Committee handling tariff rates and income taxes. His influence has been thrown into the balance again and again successfully to protect California products. Membership on that Committee is impossible to a newcomer. He is a member of the Senate Reclamation and Irrigation Committee. He has worked tirelessly to promote Colorado River development, including the Boulder Dam and All-American Canal. Shortridge has kept faith with the voters who sent him to Washington. Ask the War Veterans, the citrus men, the almond men, the walnut growers. He has safeguarded the interests of the working man, as well as the industrialist. He has secured special appropriations for new buildings, port development, highways, bridges, agricultural experiment stations. He has been vigilant; he has been efficient; he has been loyal. His record is a guarantee. CHILDREN LEARN TO USE CARE PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES OF ALL KINDS FALL OFF AS COMPARED WITH LAST YEAR Marked improvement is shown in the traffic fatality records in Los Angeles for the last two months with less deaths among children being especially evident in the report lately compiled by the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. In the face of increased auto and pedestrian traffic, fatalities from motor vehicle accidents in the city dropped to twelve for July from the seventeen of the same month of last year, following the June reduction of fifteen death this year from the total of twenty-seven of 1925. Although running or playing in the street was the leading cause of motor fatalities during the two months last year, no deaths have occurred under this cause during June and July. 1926. July had three last year, and June had five on its score. Only seven fatalities under this cause are recorded for the year to date, as against fifteen for the same period of 1925. This is considered a valuable compliment to the safety work of the Automobile Club of Southern California in the local schools, and especially to its scheme of playground supervision by student guardians during summer vacation. FOR NATIONAL PRESIDENT in honor of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs Mrs. J. M. Edwards, recently elected Vice-President of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, entertained at a charmingly appointed luncheon, Sunday afternoon at her beautiful home. Those included were Bright and Mrs. Hinson of New York. Mrs. A. C. Richardson, Mrs. M. Beavers, Mina Louise Beavers, Mina Hansel Gotthäusch and Mrs. J. M. Edwards Douglass Temple Last Sunday Meets Noted Club Leader Sunday evening was a gala occasion at the Douglass Temple, on East 21st Street. It was the first occasion of Governor Richardson, addressing the Colored folk in the city during the intensive campaign now for the Republican nomination for Governor. The church was decorated with American flags and the robed choir of the African American Spirituals. The pastor, Rev. Dr. G. W. Shields having made the presentation speech of the Master of Ceremonies. Mrs. A. E. Walker delivered in her characteristic way a warm endorsement of the Governor's administration. When Governor Richardson arose to speak he was greeted with a perfect oration and his address, from time to time, was punctured with applause. His audience throughout his short address appeared to be in thorough sympathy with the speaker and he closed his address amid tumultuous applause. The next speaker was Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Press of the Bethune Cookman Institute of Daytona, and President of the National Colored Women's Federation of Clubs, that had just adjourned a meeting in Oakland. Mrs. Bethune is the foremost woman in the public life of her people in the United States. Mrs. Bethune listened attentively to the address of Governor Richardson and in her interesting talk of Negro Welfare work said among other things:— "I wish to congratulate you, my people, of this wonderful state with its wonderful opportunities for human progress in having for your chief executive a man whose sympathies are broad, deep and patriotic. I have listened with my hopes growing stronger and stronger, to the plain, outspoken address of your Governor and I feel it's not only to your interest but it is also a bounded duty that you support your Governor, for re-election." "I shall return to my life work in Florida with this message t othem: "Go West! to California, where you will have an opportunity under the rare executive ability of Governor Richardson to find the spirit of fair play and encouragement in all of your elevate dendeavors." Mrs. Bethune's story of the beginning of her career of public usefulness when, as a bare-foot child, went five miles to school and five miles back and the evidence she gave in citing the fact that she owed her higher education and training for her lifework to the generosity of a white lady school teacher of Colorado, held the vast audience spell-bound. The effect of the governor's speech was immediately evident following the program when in an informal levee hundreds of prominent people including leaders of the race, crowded about the Governor and Mrs. Richardson and grasped their hands with pledges of their unstinted support at the coming primary and subsequent election. D. R. JONES PASSES Rev. D. R. Jones, perhaps the oldest minister in point of service on the Pacific Coast, quietly passed to the great beyond on Last Tuesday at the family residence, on 58th street. At the bedside were his wife and two daughters, Mrs. L. Roy Lott and Mrs. W. H. Robinson. Rev. Jones had been in failing health for the past several months, the last four weeks of which he was confined to his bed. He was connected with the A. M. E. denomination and had seen active service on the coast for over 35 years, during which period he held down nearly every charge of importance in California and Nevada. Fusseral will be held today, Friday, at 1 P. M., from 8th and Towne Avenue. **ANNONCEMENT** The Kentucky Clan will hold its next meeting at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Mathaws, 518 Lathen St. Take the "E" car on Main St., going South and ride to the end of the line, walk one block West at Lathen.

Phone: AX 2471 Let the Kiddo M pre-Monkey evening at Union Dome 582 Main Avenue, Ann Arbor, 48611 There has been holding forth at the White Sox Ball Park since last Saturday, what was heralded as an Exposition, which was to depict the progress of the race along all the various lines of endeavor. One Rev. L. B. Brown, to all intent and purpose is the head of this so-called proposition. In fact he admits it. We must say that along the advertised lines it was a misnomer from the very beginning. If it had been named an affair to demonstrate gambling for hams and bacon, the Charleston, a carnival supreme, or catch penny for Candidates for the approaching primaries, it would have come nearer telling just what it was. The sorry spectacle of collecting 10 cents per head to enter a gate, to see nothing excepting a carnival, operated by professional carnival men, was the sight. Only one saying spot, in an out of the way place, was an art exhibit conducted by race artists. After viewing this spectacle it is self evident that the race has been exploited to the utmost, it has been outraged and raped by arch-conspirators. It has been humbugged and its standing has been challenged. In the first place the records at the city hall show that the license out there was granted to the Old Folks Home. We want the officials of this Home to come formand and answer as to the part they played if any, in this nefarious affair. They advertised Prof. Carver and other notables would be present, and not one appeared, they swooped down on the city Hall, enveiled the City Council to decorate the streets for just as unworthy and less meritorious a proposition as it was possible to conceive. It was rather punk and smelled to the highest heavens. Politicians were manhandled, thugged and despoiled. It was indeed the ruggedest ragged affair ever pulled off, on an unusual peaceful public. They could not advertise enough in these columns to still our tongue upon the injury perpetuated upon a race by the erroneous impression made upon the same wherein an exposition is alleged and not a semblance of the representation at hand. FISH OR CUT BAIT Now the Rev. L. B. Brown is a very likable person, smooth and suave. We certainly hold no malice toward him, but we cannot sit supinely by and let him or any other man exploit the people or any community and get away with it for lack of publishing the inside of the situation. We say to the preacher, he must either fish or cait bait. Preach or promote gambling, dances and misrepresentations to the public. For we are going to be eternally on the job and let the people know "What's going on." We want to get the preacher fixed either as pastor of some church or a promoter of Carnivals with gambling, games, dances and etc. One or the other, brother, "that's all." In other words we want our ministry to stand up as men among men and not stoop to the little things, even though they get hold of a few filthy dollars by doing so. About any others connected with this farce we have nothing to say. We are satisfied to present the situation as it applies to its confessed leader. We have spoken in this article. We want the people to know if any well organized exposition, fostered by men of honor and integrity had been put forth, a demonstration of Negro genius and accomplishment worth while would have been present, for their inspection and consideration. Mrs. W. D. Carrion, most royally entertained Mrs. adley Moed Behune. The day was stronguous; but pleasing to the utmost. The distinguishing color expressed herself as pleasant beyond expression with the beauty and cordiality of her visit. The day was taken up with a luncheon at the home of Mrs. G. Robinson, a drive by Miss Shankman; after reception Mrs. Carey Lecture at Friendship Church; @1B P. M. to a crowded home antimastic and sympathetic audience; Dinner proceeded lecture at the providence of Mrs. H.

The president, Mr. Jones, aspires to attain a higher goal that will bring together and cement an interest among the churches and insist that such an organization can build only upon that foundation—whose watchword is good fellowship at a nominal rate. One of the many features solicited by this organization is the "Pleasant Sunday" that will be infunched on the Second Sunday in September.

PRETTY AFFAIR AT EAGLE HALL A very charming affair at beautiful Eagle Hall on last Saturday evening was the presentation of the grand prize awarded to the winners of the high scores by the Whist Tournament Association. A handsome sterling silver buffet service, consisting of a meat tray and compartment vegetable dish was presented to Miss Fern Caldwell, winner of the grand prize for ladies. Mrs. L. L. French was presented a handsome glass and silver water set for the 2nd grand prize. The men's grand prize was captured by Mr. D. B. Floyd, who was rejoiced with a handsome silver cock-shaker and set. Mr. Dupliesis as winner of the second grand prize was given a handsome silver smoking accessory. Dr. Mitchell, popular dentist, was consoled with a beautiful English tea services for the grand booby. Appropriate speeches of appreciation were made by the winners, but Dr. Mitchell's oratorical gem was indeed a masterpiece. The prizes for the first night of the second semester were awarded as follows: To Miss Alvina Caldwell, an amber bourdoir clock; to Miss Miller, two beautiful vases; to Mr. A. W. Hogue, a walrus billfold; and to Mr. D. B. Floyd, a smoking set. The second semester promises to be even more interesting and better attended than the first. Mrs. Emma Gordon received vociferous applause when introduced as new hostess. Mrs. Alta Clark will continue also as hostess. The next meeting on Saturday evening, August 28th promises to be eventful. MRS. ALSTON IN CITY Mrs. Inez T. Alston, of Tampa, Florida, arrived in the city, Sunday from Oakland, where she has been in attendance of the National Federation. Mrs. Alston is the Royal Worthy Grand Matron, O. E. S. of the state of Florida, and has been for more than twenty years also President of the State. Federation of Colored Women's Club of Florida, Past Supreme Worthy Grand Matron of Gothic Chapters O. E. S. and many other social and fraternal organizations of her State.

During her stay in the city she taught the other National Federation women and was admired by Atty. C. H. ```markdown ``` COMMENTS The sudden death of Thomas J. Lennon, Associate Justice of the State Supreme Court and candidate for the Chief Justiceism of that tribunal, gives an almost certainty to the selection of Chief Justice Waste at the coming primary. We say "almost," because there are certain conditions under which a contest can be made, even after the primaries. Though too late to file applications, citizens can write in the name of candidates, as Independents and qualify for the election in November. The death of Justice Lennon makes two vacancies to be filled on the bench. Why not citizens write in the names of E. Burton Ceruti of Los Angeles and Judge Walter Perry Johnson of San Francisco for Associate Justice? 0—00—0 The fight for the nomination of the United States senatorship in California is not so much or matter of the Tariff issue or the World Court emboiglio as it is for the control of the delegation which will be selected from California to the Republican Convention which nominates the president in 1928. The presidential bee buzzes in some bonnets until the hive decays. Once it is set buzzing it will sting everything in its path to its ultimate goal—the White House. While Senator Shortridge may not have pleased us at all times by the stand that he has taken, it seems that the greatest sin committed—according to his opponents for renomination—is that, under every condition, he has supported the Administration and THAT IS WHAT WE ELECTED HIM FOR. 0----0----0 The National Bar Association composed of the leading Negro lawyers of the United States met recently in the city of Chicago. There are so many vital questions which, as a Race, effect us; so many legal points to be determined; so many court decisions to be reviewed and antagonized, that we are waiting with anxiety to find out just what that body has done. We have no doubt that "Jim Crow" and his associate relatives of Discrimination were dealt with from a legal standpoint and various means discussed and formulated, for their abatement. Special Assistant to the Attorney General, William C. Matthews, at the present stationed for special service in San Francisco, was one of the principal speakers on the program. 0----00----0 We are in receipt of a survey of the farming activities of Negroes in California. It was sent to us by our old cowworker, Charles Hall, of the Census Bureau. While the result of that survey is very flattering, there is considerable room for further improvement. Plenty of land and opportunity to purchase it. We still are preaching the doctrine of production as the means of solving a vital problem. 0----00----0 There is a party of Japanese students from the grammar grades and the universities visiting here, San Francisco. In a recent conversation one of them informed this writer that California fruit was being shipped and despite the high cost, was receiving favor over the fruit grown in the Orient. We have claimed at all times that the opportunities in this state for the intelligent farmer was greatest of any in the world. It has been our aim to divert the trend city-ward and direct it where it might become independent products. Politics and religion have not aided the effort but we are not discouraged. Men's Day At Hamilton M. E. Church The annual MEN'S DAY will be celebrated at Hamilton M. E. Church E. 18th St. and Naomi Ave. Sunday August 22nd. A great day will be had. At eleven o'clock, Dr. J.

The club further states that the letter may be considered as a fair barometer of the high esteem, in which he as held by the large group of Colored Voters. And that the long experience of Judge Langdon impaired his impartial fairness to bliss and white, alike, has endeared him not only to them but to the colored public in general, touching as it does that step by which the Negro has climbed to his present achievements, and will continue on to greater successes—the step of education. August 5, 1926. HON. WILLIAM H. LANGDON, Associate Justice, Court of Appeal, State Bldg., McAllister & Larkin Sts., San Francisco, California. Dear Judge Langdon: In Los Angeles County, about seventy thousand Negroes, and fifty thousand of these live in the City of Los Angeles. Of this number, twenty-one are members of the Bar and belong to the Blackstone Club. We formed this club because the Los Angeles Bar Association has never accepted the application of a member of our race for membership. Hoping to better serve our clients and to better uphold the highest ideals of the legal profession, we have our little club in order that we can pull together in our common cause. We are happy to know that you are a candidate for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and, at a meeting of our club, held August 3, 1926, we heartily endorsed your candidacy and pledged ourselves to urge 'our people to vote for your election. We have followed your work upon the bench and rejoice in your learning in the law, and in your fearless exertions in humane and democratic principles. We deem it to be true that the whims, likes and dislikes of some of the citizens of our state sometimes find expression in contracts, and in regulations prohibitive and restrictive, directed plainly at Negro citizens, just because they are Negroes. Once these biased sentiments reach the Courts and find sanction in judicial opinion and decrees, our civil and political rights are often impaired because of arguments which apparently uphold the equality of equal laws, but which in fact have veiled limitations upon common law and constitutional rights from which we alone suffer solely because of color. We believe that the rights of all the people of our country are our wealth will find a broad and positive expression in your degrees, your ordered opinions. We have been asked to apprise you of the hearty endorsement the Blackstone Club has given you, and to assure you we shall work for your election. With every good wish for your success, we remain. head-liner in every paper of the State, day after day and year after year, during his two term as District Attorney of San Francisco. He was then engaged in the strategic struggle with official corpsehead and serving to restore honesty and decency in government. This public service is not forgotten nor unknown in any portion of the State. Aside from his law and judicial activities he has always taken a keen interest in educational matters. When but 28 years old he was superintendent of schools of San Francisco. Associated with him were such educational experts as Professor Henry Suzallo, now President of the University of Washington, Professor T. L. Heaton, then Superintendent of Schools of Preston and A. A. Macurda of Los Angeles. A completely new course of study for the San Francisco Public Schools in keeping with Charles F. Stearn and Mrs. Mary Barnham of Los Angeles and E. P. Clark of Riverside, were the first members of the re-organized State Board of Education and Judge Langdon was its first President. With Senator Frank Flint and Prescott Coggwell of Los Angeles, Motimer Fleishhacker of San Francisco and Professor Mead of the University of California, he served on the Land Settlement Board which inaugurated one of the most successful land colonies in the United States, at Durham, California. In a judicial position during the last decade Judge Langdon has not been in the public eye, but the lawyers of the State are familiar with the great quantity of work he has performed in the courts and its satisfactory quality and character. With this background of public service his candidacy for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court is going forward rapidly and most successfully. The old time residents of Southern California know Judge Langdon's public record, it shall be my purpose to acquaint the new comers with it. Upon his record as a public servant and jurist he should see we feel certain he will be promoted from Presiding Justice of the District Court of Appeal to Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

S. and Excelsior Minin, Company last Sunday on board the CHIAPAS et San Pedro addressed large gathering of the company’s friends arid stockholders. In his elo- quént manner he described the inaug uration of a direct steamship line from Los Angeles port to Liberia as a mod em romanee of business. It is a romance—a dream come-true. It is none the less romantic because business men take the place of knights errant, or because the gonfalons of chivalry have given way to the pen- nants of commerce. It is the begin- ning of the realization of a dream long dreamed and hopes long deferred. In all the histroy of races and gov- ernments there is nothing more in- teresting or appealing than the es- tablishment and development of the government and country of Liberia. Consider—More than a hundred years ago human slavery existed in Amer- ica, A race was held in hpysieal bond- age. By great indusrty and frugal saving it was possible for a slave to fupebgce hig freedom: but with this i he found himself in possess- ion of only a mockery of freedom be- cause it did not carry with it the Fights of citifenship=mot- evetf The Tight to express a voice in the gov- ernment under which he lived ‘and reared his children. In order that these slaves, who by one means or another had gained their “freedom,” might enjoy the rights of citizenship and live as free men in truth as well as in name, some New England white philanthropists fostered a movement to establish a free and independent government by and forthe Negro race on the continent of Africa. In 1822 the first “settlers” arrived on the West Coast of that continent and landed at a point known as Sierra Leone. They met with serious opposi- tion from the natives in this section and were compelled to move farther south to a territory less hostile but none the less rich and inviting. Here where the coast of Africa beging its Rreat sweep to the Eastward was es- tablished the colony of Liberia, Af ter the many dangerous and tryin vicissitudes of pioneer life in a *wild and unsettled region these heroic Bi oneers established in 1847 under tl sponsorship of President James Mon- roe the Republic of Liberia, framing their government after that of the United States and naming their eapi- tol Monrovia, A new flag was unfurl- ed in the galaxy of nations; a new challenge to human slavery and to despotism was issued to mankind; a new destiny was born. After a century of struggle against the predatory white. powers of Eu- rope, Liberia standa today with most of Yer ofiginai territory intact, her integrity established, and’ her ideals unsullied. The thing that so strongly links the sentiment of the colored race all over the world with Liberia and which so strongly claims the feal- ty and affection of the race is the fact that on the whole continent where Ethiopia once reigned —supreme—in apes, world, indeed—there is not anotNer spot of terrain that the Ne- £2 can point to and say, “That is my ym! There is one spot on the face of the earth where I am sovereign!” Fate seems to exercise an irony in the destiny of nations as in the des- tiny of individuals. Like the Osage -Indfana in our own country, the col onicts and founders of Liberia were eqenpélied to go to a spot which was Fefuote and which. "war considered worthless ‘by the rest of mankind—e place no ane else wanted. And like the land of the Osages, Liberia in re- cent years has proved to ve a very reacure-house of natural riches: ch, indeed, that: now, when it Isto late for predatory white government to dare confiseation or the establish ment of “protectorates” it is founc that no territory on earth is mor ‘valuable to modern \baginess or mor Reccessary to the "'s continued -tommercial development. : pilr sesso Edward Pittman, a.

Very little rubber is as yet artificially cultivated; and yet rubber to the value of $50,000.00 was taken out of the country in five months! With proper planting and cultivation this commodity alone will total millions of dollars. In addition to this im- mense potential wealth Liberia has large forests of valuable hard-woods which inelude mahogany in great quantity. So plentiful and accessible is this precious wood that -whole houses are sometimes built of it. Cof- fee and palm oil of the finest quality cun be produced with little expense and in great quantities. Gold is plen- tiful in nugget form among the na- tives who use it for personal decora- tion.

To those purchasers and all other persons interested in Eureka Villa we wish to announce the following: .... On June 17th, 1926, we negotiated the purchase of Eureka Villa consisting of 720 acres of land. Included in that purchase were its good and bad accounts, contracts and deeds of which title has never been given. We are not going to discuss the 'whys' and 'wherefores,' fight or criticise anyone, but we have gone in there with our eyes open and with both feet on the ground with plenty of money with which to give deeds and titles to all of those who have waited so long for same. WATER: Contract for the development of water has been let to Ralph Shaffer of Filmore, California, who is now engaged in putting piles in the river-bed at Filmore, and promises to get into Eureka Villa during the week of July 25th. GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS: A general contract for the development of the entire tract, roads, dams, pools, parkways, playgrounds, etc., has been let to George Paonossa, 1045 Highland, Los Angeles., California. Should the little company release us in time, we will formally open this tract on Labor Day with the largest swimming pool in the county at which time Jimmie Smith will stage a "Bathing Girl' contest; silver trophy and cash, etc., as prizes. HUDSON SPECIAL BROUGHAM: To all persons who should buy a lot at Eureka Villa on or before September 15th, 1926, we will give a number; to all persons who now hold contracts and are behind in their payments, but who care to pay up by September 15th, will also be given a number. These numbers will entitle you to a chance of being presented with this automobile now on display at A. L. Johnston's, Inc., Hudson and Essex Agency, 25th and Central Avenue. To those who will make no effort whatever to bring their payments down to date by September 15th, 1926, your contracts will be cancelled and all money paid in forfeited as liquidated damages. We shall more than do our part at Eureka Villa and most assuredly will expect you to do yours. Payments will be accepted by the National City Bank, 8th and Main Sts., until our escrow and trust shall have been completed, at which time you will be instructed to put in your demands for deeds and title. LAURA C. JANES, Sidney P. Dones, Eureka Development Ass'n., Eureka Villa Advisory Board and Rev. E. R. Driver, all of whom have nothing more to do with the management of Eureka Villa, but when the title company shall have finished its search of this entire property we will own Eureka Villa outright and have ample money with which to develop same. It is true, we did secure the county's help with a park program to the extent of $25,000.00, but we did not authorize anyone to commercialize on that information with a letter or public demonstration, neither did we authorize anyone to use Eureka Villa to further their interests politically and as owners of that place, do feel that someone or group exceeded their authority, therefore, we are not responsible for anything that has been said or done by anyone but ourselves. To date, there has been only one person authorized to talk about the future plans of Eureka Villa, namely, Mrs. Nellie Turner, AXridge 5008. Should anyone desire to know more or pay contracts down to date, or make new purchases, or any salesmen care to sell these lots, see Mrs. Turner.

Upton SUPT. J. L. ARTHUR ARBIVES Mr. J. L. Arthur, Supt. Pullman Co. Kansas City, arrived last Friday, August 13th at 2 P. M. on the Los Angeles District. He will take charge of the Los Angeles District at once. The men in this district expect to cooperate with Mr. Arthur to their fullest extent in kepeing the Los Angeles District the prize District; that it has always held the reputation of being. It is to be hoped that our new Supt. will be fair in his dealings with the boys and give an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, thus assuring team work and a hundred per cent efficiency at all times. --- When you are reading the Clatter this week, the writer will be shaking sheets and fighting dust between Los Angeles and Detroit, Mich., answering a thousand questions and as many bells as is humanly possible for one pullman porter to do. He also will be eating, when he can get it and sleeping the same way, jumping off at this station and that one in a wild scramble for a bucket of ice, which seems to melt before you put it in the coolers. And when in need of a little more added exercise, will grab a mop which is always handy and proceed to swing it in a most graceful and dignified manner across the checkers' of the smoking room floor. While doing all of these things he will be making an effort to drive a dime up to as many dollars as is possible for him to do so, and as my good friend HARRY LEVETTE says.—ONE OF LIFE'S LITTLE THINGS. Running true to form and just as the Clatter predicted last week, one button Joe Holmes, operating in the Coast Pool was heartlessly bumped by Joe Lee; the only thing strange about this is that Joe has not got the power to take the line until the 16th. That's very funny indeed, surely Joe cannot be doing any days. 0-00-0 BULLET MAY KILL MAN; ASSAILANT HELD Police Arrest Assailant of Colored Railroad Porter After Shooting Affray Shot through the abomens by Jerry Washington while visiting at 2005 Webster street, San Diego, Herman Washington, railroad porter, was in a serious comeback County Hospital on Friday night. Jerry Washington was arrested by Detective Sergeant John Kane at the Webster Street address a short time after the shooting and at Detective headquarters gave a complete statement of the affair, police said. He said he shot in self-defense, after Herman had threatened his life because he had objected to an insult alleged to have been made to the housekeeper at the former's home. Washington was taken to the County Hospital from a drug store at 16th and Broadway, where he had gone for training following the shooting. Jerry Washington was held in the city jail last night on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder. --- Next Week the first installment of Lipton's Matrimonial Chart will be published in this column. JUNE SCOTT OF ST. LOUIS HERE Mr. Jue Scott, whom it will be remembered, so ably represented the St. Louis District at the Grand Convention of the P. P. B. A. of A. held in Chicago, is stopping in Monrovia, Calif. for eight weeks on account of his health. Mrs. Scott is here with him and will look after her husband in an endeavor to restore his health along with the aid of California's cheerful sunshine. Mr. Scott is 17 years in the service and can be seen at 510 Huntington Drive, Monrovia, Calif. Why go back to the snow and ice, Mr. Scott? There is room for you and the madam in California, the land of the sunshine, winter, and summer. 0-00-0 MOTOR TO BIG BEAR LAKE Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Graham and Mr. and Mrs. J. T.

W. Henderson and R. J. Murray, Maid Hazel Robinson. 0-00-0 DOLL BABY WALKER, HERE Along with Mr. J. L. Arthur, Supt. K. C. came Doll Baby Walker. This Doll Baby is a nickname that was hitched on to him years ago back East and he has never been able to get rid of it. Mr. Walker operated on the Santa Fe from K. C. to Los Angeles for a number of years and up to recently was in good health; but the long runs across the desert began to tell on him and his doctor advised him to come to California to live, so he put in for his transfer, which is another boost for California climate. H. W. WEEKS In last week's Clatter it was reported that H. Week's was taken to the hospital, which was very true, but in order that his friends may not become alarmed over the report, we will explain more fully data which we were unable to get at the last writing. Mr. Weeks ran a sliver into his little finger and holloed so loud in the New Bronx Hotel that the manager thought he was being murdered and called an ambulance to take him to the General Hospital. When they arrived with him, all that was the matter was a sliver in his little finger. 0-00-0 Upton's Matrimonial Chart will be published in next week's issue. 0-00-0 MAID WINS SECOND PRIZE IN CHARLESTON CONTEST A certain Maid operating out of Los Angeles did her stuff at a Charleston Contest last week and won the second prize, they say she got her training on the Los Angeles Limited, dancing from dressing room to dressing room, from Los Angeles to Chicago.

Other guests were Mrs. Wrh. Day; Mrs. E. Taylor; Mrs. Freddie Perry; Mrs. Mitchell; Mrs. Helen Scott; Miss Willie Penn and Mrs. Lillian Harris. FRESNO A demonstrative protest against unscrupulous Negro politicians, who have been selling the Negro vote, was voiced in a big mass meeting at Garibaldi Hall last Friday night. The practice of these so-called race leaders in accepting various sums of money from candidates and promising them in damaging the Negro vote, has had its damaging effect in blocking every effort put forth by our group to gain recognition in city and county affairs. Out of the mass meeting a permanent, dominant political organization was formed for the purpose of combating these conditions and for the general progressiveness of the Negro in this city and county. William A. Biggy, Jr., was elected President; Mrs. Irene Hinds, Vice-Pres.; James L. Clarke, Secy.; Robert Strother, Asst. Secy.; Rev. Fred A. Hughes, Treas.; Mrs. Etta Mae Kennedy, Personal Secretary to the President. The Executive Board is headed by J. E. K. Knichols, Chairman; William Page, Mrs. A. Harris Crawford, John Cannon, Mrs. Minnie Howard, S. O. Sheffield, Mrs. Etta Mae Kennedy. The President, Secretary and Treasurer will also act as ex-officio members of the Executive Board. Speakers of the evening were Wm. A. Biggy, Jr., S. O. Sheffield; Mrs. Id Johnson; J. E. G. Knichols; Mrs. A. Harris Crawford; Rev. Fred Hughes; Mrs. Etta Mae Kennedy and Sam C. Hanibut. Headquarters have been opened up at 1401 "F" street. In compliment to her house guest, Miss Cleo Sparks of Sacramento, Miss Helen Wohl entertained a large group of the younger set last. Thursday evening, at her residence in "IP" street, dancing was the principal mode of pleasure, with cards as a secondary SPARKS From THE QUILL Of Noah M. THOMPSON Hello Folks! You know "Swinging" is the very latest, and very much improved term for that famous evening exercise better known as "Necking" and they tell me that the chiropractic doctors are doing a land office business, especially on Mondays, working the stiffness out of the necks of the guys that do a good deal of "swinging" over the week-end. I reckon!!!! I attended the Gingham Dance, Monday evening out at the new Jazzland Cafe, but didn't see much gingham—maybe it wasn't supposed to be seen. Eh? What? !!! "I'm hot stuff" said the mustard as it was being spread upon a hot dog. Yipe! Yipe! Bow Wow!!! The Doddes are going to give a Hot Dawg bake at the Pacific Palisades this coming Monday night. Um, yum, spud salad and pickled pop. Bring your dawg collars and don't forget the collar buttons for the dog's collars either. Uncle Joe says, "It is estimated that the average peanut machine wastes ten cents a day whistling." Mr. Thomas W. Myles, Jr., says, "Brigham Young may have been a bigamist, but think of the Merry Wives of Windsor."

The guest list included most of the younger set, with a sprinkling of the younger married contingent. Col. and Mrs. Ed. Jones have with them for a several months' sojourn, the latter's sister, Mrs. I. S. Wilson of Denver, Colo. Mrs. Wilson is the wife of Dr. I. S. Wilson, a Presiding Elder of the A. M. E. Conference. Mrs. William A. Bigby, Jr., who is spending the summer in the Bay Cities motored down to Santa Cruz for several days sojourn. Re J. W. Wilson, the eminent pastor of the 85th Ave. Baptist Church in Oakland occupied the pulpit at the Second Baptist Church last Sunday and gave a very forceful lecture on "Negro Inconsistencies" on Monday night. After having attended the National Federation in Oakland, Mrs. Alice Foster and Mrs. Henry Sims are still enjoying the tool breezes around the bay. Mr. and Mrs. Russel E. King and daughter, Miss Marjorie King of Santa Monica were the week-end house guests of William A. Bigby, Jr., while en route home last week. Mr. King is the head field representative of the Heffin Mfg. Co., in Los Angeles. James W. H. Harding and Thomas Irving were in town for the week, having come in on the private car "Santa Barbara." The Negro Exposition The season's Carnival at the White Sox Ball Park is a success beyond question. The promoters are worthy of commendation, but the affair bears no resemblance to a Negro Industrial Exposition in which the exhibits of Negro enterprises and industries are on display. The Negroes of Los Angeles have no part in this supposed exposition nor does this stunt represent the Negro industrial progress in these years. The term "Negro Exposition" is misleading and a slap in the face to the progressive Negroes in this city, but has served the purpose of a few political pie hunters to enrich their morally distorted stomachs at the expense of twenty thousand Negroes who will never stoop to a thing so low. We wish it to be generally known that this is NOT A NEGRO EXPOSITION, but a Carnival in the Beal Street Style. Don't be gentlemen, tell the truth and put your program over. (Signed) J. S. D.

Shortridge? It is unreasonable to suppose there would be EVEN ONE who would do so, unless it would be for petty pelf or filthy lucre. Senator Shortridge is now and always has been a real humanitarian and one who has, with sincere devotion at all times, championed the cause of the down trodden without regard to race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Especially true has this been the attitude of Senator Shortridge toward the colored citizens of California and later of the Nation. His deed in championing the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill on the floor of the United States Senate was but in keeping with his stand for fair play for all peoples during his entire career. His stand for our group has been more outstanding, for the simple reason that they have stood in greater need of his service. In other words they have been more oppressed than any other class. In the face of these circumstances, if there are any of our group who would fail to rally to the cause of the Senator's success, they can be classed as nothing less than ingrates. We want to say that it is imperative for all of us to rise up to the occasion and do our utmost in the present situation, by voting for the Senator and getting out every possible vote to help re-elect, not one whom we have heard to be a friend to all the people, but one whom we know is that friend. Aside from this angle of the situation, Senator Shortridge has in his first term in the Senate, become one of the strong spokes in the wheels of the Government, and is recognized for his ability and accomplishments. He is a high credit to California and the nation. California is complimented indeed at the opportunity to return him to the Senate for another term.

If You Fail To Read The CALIFORNIA EAGLE You May Never Know It Happened Mrs. Bethune Much is being said about Mrs. Beethune's praising Governor Richardson for giving such a welcome reception to the club women, and thereby endorsing Governor Richardson for re-election. It takes a weak or biased mind to stretch what Mrs. Beethune said as an endorsement of the Governor. I took it as a high-class criticism of the Governor and his administration: Have you ever been publicly praised and given credit for doing something that you had not been man enough to do? That was the situation that the Chief 'Executive found himself in. First. No great honor can be given our Governor for the reception accorded our ladies. Mrs's Bethune told how the people of Salt Lake City had sent a special committee to meet the train and held a special concert in Morman Temple for delegates. She also told of how the Chamber of Commerce of Colorado took the whole delegation sight-seeing in that city. Then the California welcome that some would make political capital of was only following the example set by other states through which the delegation passed. Mrs. Bethune praised the Governor for being big enough to see no color when making his appointments for office and told him that it took a big man to select his aid with regards to the color of his skin, and she also pleaded that other Governors would follow his example and give the colored man a chance and that all we wanted was our equal chance with other citizens, and no special favors. How that could be taken as an endorsement when none of the conditions in the speech had been met I fall to see. Praise him for being big enough to make his appointments without regards to color, when he had failed in his whole administration to appoint a colored man to a single position. We pleaded for a judge and united in requesting the appointment of Mr. Ceruti, but the big man appointed fifty-seven, without touching us. She praised him for giving us a chance, when he knew that he had not, done that. She praised him for seeing no color when that is all he saw. She thanked him for the hope he held out when the only hope he showed us was a stronger national guard that would protect us during riots. Mrs. Bethune praised him for what he should have done. He failed to measure up to her rule, and he knows it. Let us help to retire him to private life? In so doing we will make the chance Mrs. B. praved for. H. C. HUDSON. RE-ELECT HIM M. 4 Representing a federation of thirty-eight German Societies with 40-registered voters in Los Angeles, the German-American League, has given its endorsement to Councilman A. J. Barnes for Supervisor, 3rd District, according to a statement of his campaign committee. Barnes' supporters claim that despite the lateness of his entrance into the race, his candidacy is rapidly M. gaining momentum. They point to the fact that his record on the City Council and as a civic leader especially qualify him for the office of supervisor. At a meeting of the West Hollywood Republican Club, the following resolution was unanimously adopted endorsing Mr. Barnes: "It is most important to the citizens and taxpayers of this District to have a representative as Supervisor in whom we can place the fullest confidence as to honesty, integrity and ability. Therefore, be it Resolved, that this organization does hereby endorse the candidacy of A. J. Barnes for Supervisor, and be it further resolved that we do everything within our power to help in electing Mr. Barnes." The Barnes sentiment on the East Side of the District is growing by leaps and baddles and a strong support is promised for his success. A. P. Alberga of San Francisco hit town Saturday and immediately things began to pick up in the Richardson camp. And after conferring with the reddoubtable (Pop) Sanders, things began to happen. The wiley and resourceful Sanders had already arranged for the appearance of Governor Richardson at Douglas Temple Spiritualist Church for Sunday evening and in came Alberga who put the cap stone on the affair by producing Mrs. Bethune. To say that it was a knock-out is putting the question mildly. Even the most rabid enemy of Richardson must give (Pop) Sanders and Alberga credit for the coup they put over. ENTERTAIN SUNDAY BREAKFAST Mrs. N. B. Murray, W. 85th Place, gave an elaborate Sunday breakfast in honor of several visitors now in the city, viz; Mr. Dr. Wiggins, K. C. Kansas; Mrs. Jesse O.

Merriam FOR Lieutenant Governor A FEW REASONS WHY FRANK F. MERRIAM SHOULD BE NOMINATED FOR LIEUT. GOVERNOR He has reached the mature age when experience gives wise judgment. He has the highest standing among the people who know him best. He has had ten years experience in newspaper business in Long Beach. He is at present in the banking business. For ten years past he has been a member of the California Legislature and has been found zealous and trustworthy during all that time in advocating the things wanted by the people. For the past four years he has been honored by his associates in the legislature with the Speakership of the Assembly, which gave him immeasurable insight and experience in state affairs, which would be of the greatest possible value in the conduct of the lieutenant governorship. He has been active in civic affairs, being president for several years past of the Harbor District Chambers of Commerce, comprising about seventy Chambers of Commerce and Civic and Improvement bodies in the towns and cities south and west of Los Angeles. Promises of candidates are not so important as their real characters, and their standing among those who know them best, their ability and experience in life, and their equipment for the particular office to which they aspire. FRANK F. MERRIAM'S training and experience have all been valuable for the handling of the lieutenant governorship office in the interest of the people. We base his candidacy on his worth and reliability as a man, and on his superior qualifications, which we believe to be the best. Unchangeable as the laws of the "Meles and Persians" is the run at The Main Street Club of "Fight or Get Out." That's all; but it means a lot to the fight fans, who pay to see fights, not brotherly "team acts." And they really get their money's worth and show their appreciation by always filling the house to the roof. Last Saturday night, August 14th Mateo Magaleno lived up to expectations by beating Allie Akol to a well earned decision for six rounds. Orland Lucerro drew with Chappy Cruz. Dominic Chebarria beat Chuck Nash. Vernon Jackson the fast little coloring subbing for Pancho Sabia. Damon Lugo got a decision over Frank Abadeno. Richie Aguazo won over Hoyt McClaim. Ruffino Dayon lost to Joe Holquin, substituting for Joe Hermandez. For Saturday night, August 21st the promoters have cooked up an appetizing bit which runs thusly: Main Event: Young Brown vs. Sailor or Ashmore, 140 Lbs.; Semi-Windup: Don Chebarria vs. Chuck Nash, 158 Lbs.; Specials: Phil Harris vs. Phil Cohen, 145 Lbs.; Young Carpenterio vs. Tommy Pilacio, 117 Lbs.; Pee Wee Nolan vs. Vernon Jackson, 114 Lbs.; Richie Aguayo vs. Ady Palmer, 135 Lbs.; Tracey Porterfield vs. Sam Brown. 155 Lbs. ENGLAND IN NEED OF CHAMPION ROSE CHAMPION BOXERS British ring followers figially are beginning to despair of Joe Beckett, once heavyweight champion of England, but, since his first knockout at the hands of George Carpenter, one of the world's most horizontal pugilists. Phil Scott is now heavyweight kingpin in John Bull's tight little isle, and Britons had been looking to Beckett to come out of retirement and give Phil a battle. Joe did go through the motions of training, but he couldn't last. TENNIS TO BE TRIED UNDER ARC LIGHTS Golf, polo and automobile racing at night under ae lights have been tried in this section.

C., at Long Beach, L. I., on the afternoon of July 27th. Miss Agnes Geraghty shattered the breast-stroke mark in a 220-yard handican, which she won from scratch, with Miss Esther Foley, allowed 22 seconds, in the place. COLORED BANTOM CHAMP TOO GOOD FOR EASTERN BOY The bout between "Chick" Suggs, New England"champion, and Jacinto Valdez, bantam-weight champion of Cuba, held at Troy, N. Y., on the night of July 25, proved something of a frost and was stopped by the referee in the fifth round after the Cuban had been plainly outclassed. He never had a chance from the start. N. Y. to Chicago Relay Race Plans Are in Making The greatest relay race the world has ever known, a race in which young runners carried a message from the Mayor of New York to the Chief Executive of Chicago, will be repeated in 1928, if plans of Cleveland (Ohio) promotes now in the making are carried through. The first event of the sort was held eighteen years ago this month and 1200 boys covered the distance in 116 hours 50 minutes and 30 seconds from one city hall to the other. The promoters will start a two years' training course, designed to round out the greatest group of young athletes ever to participate in a single event. Twelve thousand applications will be received and 4,000 boys will be chosen from associations along the route, one runner to each quarter mile. Only boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen will be accepted. Bicycle Racing By grit and gameness, Charles Jaeger, twenty-one years old, of Newark N. J., won the fifty-mile motor-paced championship bicycle race at the New York Velodrome, Sunday night, July 25, before 21,000 fans. With only two and one-half miles to go, Jaeger took the lead from Frank Keenan of Bos ton, Mass., after both himself and Robert Grassin, world's champion, had blown up in a previous attempt to oust Keeman from his position. Grassin finished second, Keeman third, Vincent Madonna of Italy fourth, Victor Hopkins of Davenport (Ia.) fifth, and George Chapman sixth. The time was 1 hour 12 minutes 52 2-5 seconds.

EAGLE THOMAS—Here is a quiet gentlemanly little fighter whom the fans are accustomed to seeing go, (and he really steps) but little of his real history is generally known.

SENATOR KING ADVISES TAX REFORM OUTLINES KING TAX BILL AND SUGGESTS FURTHER REMEDIES FOR EXISTING TAX EVILS Former State Senator Lyman, M. King, Republican Candidate for Lieutenant Governor in an address before the Optimists' Club of Hollywood last Friday outlined the present State Tax System, and explained how the existing inequality in taxation can be adjusted and remedied. Senator King is in authority on the subject of his transition, being the author of the King Tax Bill, which was passed by the state legislature in 1921, and which gave taxpayers from 22 per cent interest in tax their money, and every 100 days, Senator King declared in his remarks that while he was pleased to allow the courts to dismiss his memorial a strong one from a technical standpoint, he was essentially glad that they had at all times, also declared it to be a fair, and just measure, in respect with the constitution of the state, and as such entitled to every commissary Senator King also declared that the memorial has come for factual reasons and that the present petition is for the abandonment of it. And the adoption of one which will more fully meet the demands of the present day for economic state administration. He need a tax system which may vary list of property in the whole state, unless exactly the same rate, were Senator King, and a system which allows every man and every corporation to have any tax. We are not bound by the wisdom or wisdom in the legislature and a corporation must be compulsory and acceptable. and though we can never expect to get absolute equality in taxation, that will come as near to giving it to us as is possible." If elected to the Lieutenant Governorship Senator King promises tax reform measures, which will still further reduce the taxes which individual property and home owners are now paying. Owens River Aqueduct Means Expansion For Los Angeles Declaring that Los Angeles' rapid transformation from a small tourist city to the metropolis of the West has been made possible by this City's constant vigilance in maintaining adequate water and power supplies, H. A. Van Norman, assistant chief engineer of the Municipal Water Bureau, yesterday urged the necessity of further development along this line as the only possible guarantee of continuing growth and prosperity. Mr. Van Norman was in charge of the construction of important sections of the Owens River Aguequet and has been William Muhlholland's first assistant in the operation and expansion of Los Angeles municipal water system for many years. He stated yesterday that the proposed water and power bonds to be submitted to the people at the August 31st primary election are urgently required if necessary water and power development work is to be carried forward. "Los Angeles has a habit of outgrowing water and power supplies and distributing facilities as rapidly as they are made available," said Mr. Van Norman. "This, of course, is proof of our city's amazing development. It also places upon the Municipal Water and Power Bureaus the extraordinary task of keeping pace with these demands. "It is obvious that the only practical and business-like method if financing these permanent extensions and developments is through the issuance of bonds, to be retired from Water and Power Bureau earnings over a period of years. "All interest and annual principal charges on these bonds are paid out of the revenues of the Water and Power Bureau. For this reason, the voting of additional water and power bonds, as required, does not cost the taxpayers a single dollar. "Of the $10,000,00 water bond issue, approximately $6,000,000 are required to carry through the city's water bearing land purchases in Owens Valley, source of the Aqueduct water supply. Possession of this land by the City is required to guarantee and safeguard its aqueduct water supply. "To help finance additional reservoir storage and water distributing trunk lines within the city itself, bond funds to the amount of $4,000,000 will be required during the next two years. "As the demand for greater quantities of water in Los Angeles are met by bringing down increasing volumes of water through the Aqueduct, the Municipal Power Bureau is presented with the opportunity to increase its production of hydro-electric power in generating plants along the water line. "A portion of the $11,000,000 power bond issue is required to install additional generating facilities at Power Plant No. 1. Installation of these units will make it possible for the Bureau to produce 28,000 horsepower of electric energy in addition to the quantity which can now be generated in its Aqueduct plants. The remainder of the bond issue is needed to help finance urgently needed expansions to its facilities for the handling of an ever increasing volume of electricity on its lines."

Attorney Tyler has been a resident of the 73rd District for 15 years, during this time he has taken an active part in politics, but never before sought public office, elective or appointive. The issues are too vital at this time in the opinion of Attorney Tyler to be overlooked for any reason of private business. The public now has an interest that must be served for the public's good. DIVORCE REFORM Attorney Tyler urges in his platform, a very important change in our procter's divorce laws. The evil he will seek to correct by proper legislation relates to what is called the "entry" of the final decree. Attorney Tyler points out that when a divorce is granted by the judge, a decree must be filed. This decree is called an Interlocutory Decree, which is not a divorce at all, for in fact not until one year expires can the final decree, or decree of divorce be "entered." This never does unless the attorney for divorced life, or husband files such a decree and presents it to the Court for signature (and finally "entry" in the Judgment Book. In thousands of cases, neither party requests that this be entered by divorced person moves away, or waits one year and marries without further ado, and thinks himself—or (herself)—divorced. This entangles property rights and in fact is bigamy in many cases. Under the referee urged by Attorney Tyler, one year after the First Decree is entered, the Decree becomes final by operation of law, and neither divorced party has any further concern, nor could any mistake be made by a re-marriage by either. Attorney Tyler says thousands of married couples now—living together have had to re-marry because of the mistake he points out, and many, many thousands are not now legally married, because no Final Decree has ever bee entered in the matter of their former divorce. All of these difficulties would be overcome by his proposed reform. In the 73rd Assembly District, there are of course, some people of considerable wealth, though no portion of it is, technically speaking, a millionaire colony, at this time, although at one time many rich people lived on what is now the Western edge of the District. The rank and file of the voters in the 73rd Assembly District are vitally concerned in those great utilities, which are in fact, living necessities, such as water, electric power and gas, which can be, and are being, distributed under the wonderful program of municipal ownership, now afforded the people of the city of Los Angeles, The base rate for water per one thousand cubic feet in San Francisco (privately owned company) is $28.00, while in Los Angeles, the rate is only $15.00. In some cities, the rate is as high as $55.00 per one thousand cubic feet, while the average for 183 cities was $17.58, thus proving that Los Angeles is being afforded a very low water rate, free of any charge for meter service, such as San Francisco must pay. Everyone knows that the low electric power rate has been the back-bone of our manufacturing industries and business. For these reasons, public ownership of water, electric power and gas, should never be surrendered, by failure to pass the necessary enabling acts, so that the water from the Boulder Dam, when once we get it, can be made available as well as the hydro-electric power developed therefrom, for our great Southern California. The state should be re-apportioned, and all the laws should be enforced. The difficulty with too many organizations, and groups of citizens, well intentionated today, is that they center their whole activity upon a particular law, or upon a portion of one enactment, and thus overlook many of the laws of equal importance, and just as necessary for the public guidance and control. All laws should be enforced without fear or favor, and constituted authority should receive the foulest, support of all private and public institutions when doing their duty, not in the face of the public demand because of violation of the law. child, and honor of the adult when grown. Not only is this true, but the system of study education can all of the branches, more heavily, with the rural provisions, with which public education is surrounded in California should have heavy support, and neither no cartilage of program, or of means to carry it out. This means a sufficient appropriation for teacher training—for the development of Junior Colleges, and for the retirement of superannated teachers. Some time ago, California was more losing the services of the very able State Superintendent of Public Education, Will C. Wood, because of the small pay this state offers the holder of that high position. We should pay a sufficient salary to retain without fear of losing, the services of so capable a figure in the world of education, as is Will C. Wood. A Voice From the Nation's Capitol Stresses Greatness of Senator Shortridge I beg leave through your columns to appeal to the colored electorate of the great State of California to return to the Senate the distinguished statesman, Senator Samuel Shortridge. He is needed here, not only for the colored people at the capital, but for all of us in the nation, for all of our discriminations here and our fights against them are national in their character and influence. As President of the Washington Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and a member of its National Directorate, I am forced into continued contacts with the men and women who run this nation. There are so many wrongs for which we get no relief, and so many new hostile measures proposed by those high in authority, that this organization must wage relentless conflict, so I have constant opportunity to take the measure of our statesmen. Senator Shortridge is one magnificent figure that has never failed us, and since there are so few here who worry much over the misfortune of our disadvantaged group, we cannot spare him. We have segregated schools here, hence, discrimination in racial allotments. The Senator has always stood for equity in the appropriations, so that our schools are far better equipped than they would be were there not some bread-minded statesmen in Congress to hear our pleas. In the case of Howard University he has responded with like interest and sense of justice, so that Howard today is receiving more than twice the aid she received some years ago. I heard him speak before the Amity Congress here several years ago, before an audience largely white from all sections of the country, and was inspired by his noble eloquence against race hatred, and for a universal brotherhood among men regardless of race. In the case of all of the many hostile bills introduced by our industrious enemies from the South he is of invaluable aid to us. There were four-valuable bills in the Senate at one time this winter, and every one of them was smothered. But, of all of his services his claim to fame and all men's support will rest upon his brilliant, courageous, and altruistic fight for the Anti-Lynching Bill. In this long and bitter struggle he boomed a magnificent solitary gladiator holding his own against the solid south and a sympathetic, or at least an apathetic. North. He made the lengthly, learned, and humane report on the bill which read like the documents of the giants of the great Reconstruction. days. He forced it upon the Senate, and successfully withstood the combined fire of its hosts of enemies, both North and South. It was a brilliant fight and a distinguished service, for it brought Lynching home to the nation. I am sure the good, patriotic Colored people of California, realizing that our interests are one and inseparable that the wrongs of one section are the wrongs of all, will use that most powerful of social levers, the ballot, with the single thought of keeping men in places of power who work for all of the people. We must shorten in last month's man. Will you go to the soldier in large numbers and return him to the Senate? NEVIL H. THOMAS. POLITICAL POLITIE Justice Harry A. Holzer is receiving a strong support from all citizens for modifying the Constitution. This is right and fair for his abstention at a trial, all issued the hour of all Names, being made the ground for the trial, the trial being made public, and being on trial. Another trial in our case is worth the immense majority for Justice Holzer at the perimeter on August 11. Personally we are proud to be the voice the United States of America has for the Constitution, and we are proud to be the voice the American people will have for the Constitution.

CANCER IN WOMEN OF 40 YEARS Nothing teaches like experience. "Doctor, I know it's too late now. I know I will never get well, I'm just dying by degrees. And nothing can save me. When you tried to get me to have the tumor removed last year, I thought I would get around it and just keep putting it off. Now I know it's too late!" I just left the bedside of one of the finest women in Los Angeles, who wept out those sad words. A year ago I plead with this woman as I should have plead with my own sister to have a laboratory examination and the operation if necessary to remove the awful enemy which had invaded her body. But she was human. She hated the word "operation," she "tried to get around it," she waited! Today she would have not only one operation but one hundred operations—if any surgeon in the world could hold out any hope to her. But as she herself says, unless God performs a miracle for her it is "too late." Cancer taken in time is one of the easiest conditions in the world to cure—because it is only a small, local lesion. Let it go too long and no power under heaven can arrest it because the disease has made its way through the blot or lymph stream into all parts of the body. And a surgeon would have to take the whole body apart in order to get all part of the cancer. This of course is a physical impossibility. It is because it is not for cancers to form little metastatic lesions throughout the entire body. After they reach a certain period in their development—that I, with every other doctor ho he has the well-being of humanity at heart, urge every woman with any kind of tumor to be examined and accept the proper treatment, even thought it be an operation before it is too late! HOW CANCERS FORM: Women above 35 are especially subject to cancer. All of the female organs, the mouth of the womb and the mouth of the vagina are especially susceptible cites. Often I find in patients this history. A woman about 40 or 45 years comes into the office for examination. She was tort or lacerated 20 years ago in child birth and the laceration was never repaired. Now she is annoyed with a discharge — I place her on the table and first tumor which resembles a cancer. I explain to her, the condition. She is shocked and surprised. She is not sick; She has only had a little annoying discharge, sometimes mixed with a little blood, but surely she has not any cancer! I tell her that a laboratory examination of the growth is the only possible way to make a positive diagnosis early. She cannot quite make up her mind. I tell her that she may lose her life if she hesitates, that a quick decision and prompt action are the only salvation in cancer. She still hesitates and finally decides to "go home and think it over." I wish I had time to tell you of the large number of women whom I have known in my short time of service as a physician who have "thought it over" until it was altogether too late. "Thought it over," until they have finally gone to the County Hospital to end their days in misery and die a premature death—just because they could not quite make up their minds to have a growth removed while it was still a simple tumor or an early cancer. PROCRASTINATION AND DEATH You can "put off" an operation and medical treatment but you cannot "put off" Death. The grim reaper comes whether you are ready for him or not. And yet how many, many, women between 35 and 55 years are flirting with death today, by putting off examination and treatment for old lacerations and possible tumor growths. I have in mind this morning five women who have been to my office recently who have tumors, each of whom can still be operated upon with comparative safety and a good chance for complete recovery. But they are in the class of those who run the terrible risk of "putting it off" for a while longer. DANGER SIGNS 1. Old lacerations or tears from childbirth. If these are not required at time of delivery, do not let the age of 25 or 40 find them still unrepaired. Old lacerations are potential seats for cancers. 2. Discharge—especially the irregular appearing of blood stains, often the signs of beginning cancer. 3. Tired out, "dragged down" feeling, often due to displacement of organs or lacerations which may lead to cancers. If you have any of these symptoms, do not wait. Seek the advice of a competent physician at once. It may be the difference between life and death to you. 4. Women above 35 are more susceptible to cancer than young women. BESTRE A. M. E.

After conserved prayer and careful consideration, the Corner Stone Baptist Church, located at 14th and Naomi streets has called Rev. M. J. Gibson, R. Th., as its pastor. The church is to be commenced upon the selection of so progressive, a young Gospel preacher. Rev. Gipson came to Los Angeles from Texas six years ago, ally recommended by his father in the ministry, Dr. G. F. C. Curry, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church of San Antelope, Texas. It was through Dr. Curry's great influence that the Mt. Zion Baptist Church sent Rev. Gipson to Gandahape College, in.....a course for him in systematic Theology under Dr. Alkins. Upon his arrival in Los Angeles in 1920, he pursued a course of study at the Bible Institute completing a Bible course, and a course in vocal culture. In 1922 he was appointed as Associate pastor to Dr. R. N. Holt, pastor of the St. Paul Baptist Church, which position he occupied until he organized the Union Baptist Church in June 1924 where he pastored until June, 1926. Several local pastors and their respective choirs and congregations have been invited to participate in the Installation Services during the week, beginning Monday, 23rd to 29th inclusive. On Monday evening the Evergreen Baptist Church, Rev. H. Hunter, pastor; Tuesday evening, the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Dr. W. A. Venerable, pastor; Wednesday evening, the Mt. Corinth Baptist Church, Rev. J. C. O'Connor, pastor; Thursday evening, St. Paul Baptist Church, Dr. R. N. Holt, Pastor; Friday evening, Zion Hill Baptist Church, Dr. J. H. Holder, pastor. On Sunday afternoon at 2:30 P. M. Rev. W. F. Watkins, pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist of Boyle Heights will preach the Installation Sermon and Dr. A. Lively, Pastor of the New Hope Baptist Church will extend the official installation to Rev. Gipson. Music for the afternoon will be furnished by the Mt. Olive Choir.

If You Fail To Read The CALIFORNIA EAGLE You May Never Know It Happened EUREKA VILLA $100,000.00 to be spent immediately for improvements at Eureka Villa. To those purchasers and all other persons interested in Eureka Villa we wish to announce the following: On June 17th, 1926, we negotiated the purchase of Eureka Villa consisting of 720 acres of land. Included in that purchase were its good and bad accounts, contracts and deeds of which title has never been given. We are not going to discuss the 'whys' and 'wherefores,' fight or criticise anyone, but we have gone in there with our eyes open and with both feet on the ground with plenty of money with which to give deeds and titles to all of those who have waited so long for same. WATER: Contract for the development of water has been let to Ralph Shaffer of Filmore, California, who is now engaged in putting piles in the river-bed at Filmore, and promises to get into Eureka Villa during the week of July 25th. GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS: A general contract for the development of the entire tract, roads, dams, pools, parkways, playgrounds, etc., has been let to George Paonossa, 1045 Highland, Los Angeles., California. Should the little company release us in time, we will formally open this tract on Labor Day with the largest swimming pool in the county at which time Jimmie Smith will stage a "Bathing Girl' contest; silver trophy and cash, etc., as prizes. HUDSON SPECIAL BROUGHAM: To all persons who should buy a lot at Eureka Villa on or before September 15th, 1926, we will give a number; to all persons who now hold contracts and are behind in their payments, but who care to pay up by September 15th, will also be given a number. These numbers will entitle you to a chance of being presented with this automobile now on display at A. L. Johnston's, Inc., Hudson and Essex Agency, 25th and Central Avenue. To those who will make no effort whatever to bring their payments down to date by September 15th, 1926, your contracts will be cancelled and all money paid in forfeited as liquidated damages. We shall more than do our part at Eureka Villa and most assuredly will expect you to do yours. Payments will be accepted by the National City Bank, 8th and Main Sts., until our escrow and trust shall have been completed, at which time you will be instructed to put in your demands for deeds and title. LAURA C. JANES, Sidney P. Dones, Eureka Development Ass'n., Eureka Villa Advisory Board and Rev. E. R. Driver, all of whom have nothing more to do with the management of Eureka Villa, but when the title company shall have finished its search of this entire property we will own Eureka Villa outright and have ample money with which to develop same. It is true, we did secure the county's help with a park program to the extent of $25,000.00, but we did not authorize anyone to commercialize on that information with a letter or public demonstration, neither did we authorize anyone to use Eureka Villa to further their interests politically and as owners of that place, do feel that someone or group exceeded their authority, therefore, we are not responsible for anything that has been said or done by anyone but ourselves. To date, there has been only one person authorized to talk about the future plans of Eureka Villa, namely, Mrs. Nellie Turner, AXridge 5008. Should anyone desire to know more or pay contracts down to date, or make new purchases, or any salesmen care to sell these lots, see Mrs. Turner.

TRAEGER (Incumbent) RE-ELECTION TO THE OP- FICE OF SHERIFF Subject to the Primaries August 31st Dear Judge Langdon: In Los Angeles County, about seventy thousand Negroes, and fifty thousand of these five in the City of Los Angeles. Of this number, twenty-one are members of the Bar and belong to the Blackstone Club. We formed this club because the Los Angeles Bar Association has never accepted the application of a member of our race for membership. Hoping to better serve our clients and to better uphold the highest ideals of the legal profession, we have our little club in order that we can pull together in our common cause. We are happy to know that you are a candidate for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and, at a meeting of our club, held August 3, 1926, we heartily endorsed, your candidacy and pledged ourselves to urge our people to vote for your election. We have followed your work upon the bench and rejoice in your learning in the law, and in your fearless exertion, humane and democratic virtues. We deem it to be true that the whims, likes and dislikes of some of the citizens of our state sometimes find expression in contracts, and in regulations prohibitive and restrictive, direct point blank at Negro citizens, just because they are Negroes. Once these biased sentiments reach the Court and find sanction in judicial opinion and decrees, our civil and political rights are often impaired because of arguments which apparently uphold the equality of equal laws, but which in fact have velled limitations upon common law and constitutional rights from which we alone suffer solely because of color. We believe that the rights of all the people of our great commonwealth will find a broad and positive expression in your decrees, your orders and opinions. We have been asked to apprise you of the hearty endorsement the Blackstone Club has given you, and to assure you we shall work for your election. In its judicial position during the last decade Judge Langdon has not been in the public eye, but the lawyers of the State are familiar, with the great quantity of work he has performed in the courts and its satisfactory quality and character. With this background of public service, his candidacy for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court is going forward rapidly and most successfully. The old time residents of Southern California know Judge Langdon's public record, it shall be my purpose to acquaint the new comers with it.

Forum was iull of ac- tion and fervid oratory was cut loose in generous portions. : It seems that in a moment of forgetfulness, that this great body which had always stood squarely by all measures which ‘meant the onward march of progress for the growth of our city, iman absent-minded nee and desutry manner voted aginst endorsing the Water and Power Bonds. Therefore on last Sunday the question was opened on a motion to reconsider, and this brought about the fireworks. Mr. John Pitts, former president of the Forum, ably assisted by Noah D, Thompson, Mrs. Lulu Slaughter and others overcame the futile attempt to Bitbusge by one or two isolated opponents and tes final vote was nigh unto a unanimous vote in favor of the bonds. This éxpression at the Forum isa fair barometer as to how the people stand upon,this greaf question and demonstrates that you can depend upon the people at all times when ques- tions of import'are at hand such as the, continued prosperity. of our city is concerned. x eS They are marching forward and onward 50,000 strong in favor of the Bonds.

ALVARO PRATT Candidate For Supervisor 3rd District It was mentioned in last week's issue concerning the great aid given to Mrs. Lillie Akens, colored, 1506 Griffith Avenue, city, when seriously injured in a street car accident. It stated how he prevented her from being discriminated against in the damage proceedings, by a very pointed letter to the Street Car Company backed up by his powerful influence and desire for justice. In addition to this letter, Mr. Pratt made it his personal business to prosecute this colored lady's claim for insurance and secured for her full compensation for the injury which she had suffered. This involved many daws of his time and intricate questions of law, which service he freely paid for. Thus he has always been fair and impartial and especially interested in the welfare of the colored race, showing it by many other instances of help and encouragement. ALVARO PRATT Has a record of more than 20 years of voluntary community service, during which time he has never sought or held public office, but has given gladly of his time, energies and finances in promoting the progress of Los Angeles City and County.

Grac believes that the Sacramento offer, coupled with the one made by William Wrigley, Jr., of $10,000 to swim the Catalina channel, may bring Miss Ederle to California. New York, Aug. 23.—Estimating his advance sale of tickets at $500,000, Tex Rickard prepared to move his headquarters for the Dempsey-Tunney match to Philadelphia today. Virtually his entire staff of assistants at Madison Square Garden will accompany him and will remain on the scene until after the heavyweight championship bout is held in the Sesqui-Centennial stadium on the night of Sept. 23. Will Vodery Shot (Bv A. N. P.) New York, Aug. 23—Will Vodery, noted orchestra leader and arranger of music, was shot in the arm early Wednesday morning when two foot-pads trailed him to the door of his apartment and sought to rob him of a $3,000 ring he wore. The bandits were unable to take the ring from his finger, but robbed him of $16 which he carried in his pocket. Vodery was not seriously hurt. Gans Defeats Callahan Packed from pit to dome and with hundreds standing, Dpyle's Vernon Arena, scene of historic battles fought by the "Old Master", saw his name sake, Baby Joe Gans, uphold the famous name. Two colorful gladiators, both hard hitters, both game and fast, there was never a better picked match that Mushy Callahan and Baby Joe Gans. But Callahan must have been overestimated for Gans out-fought out- Brown Winner in Slow Brown Winner in Slow Young Brown took the referee's decision from Sailor Ashmore in the six-round windup at the Main Street Athletic Club, Saturday night. Brown and Ashmore furnished the fans with one of the slowest fights ever seen at the Main Street club. It was a clinching affair from the first gong to the last. Don Chobarria defeated Chuck Nash in the four-round semi-windup in the best fight of the evening. Phil Harris and Mike Flores went four ounds, to a draw. Louis Pencenterio took every one of the four rounds from Joe Mandock. Tommy Palacio defeated the veteran Pee Wee Nolan. Richie Aguayo knocked out Tony Floreed in one round. Red Lewman put away Tracey Porterfield in the first round of the curtain raiser. Main Street Advertises Three Star Ring Bouts Three star bouts top the Main St Athletic Club card next Saturday night. Angel de la Cruz and Benny Diaz meet in the six-round windup Joel Lopez and Young Freeman Black new colored star from Oakland, meet in the semi-windup and Tony Herrera and Al Lovell are paired for the special event. De La Cruz is a great card at the Main Street by virtue of his easy knockout over Joe Hickey, the boy who beat Frankie Grandetta in 10 rounds. Diaz made a very creditable showing against Young Magdalino in a preliminary that stole the show at the Olympic last week. TENNIS NOTES FROM KANSAS CITY, MO. By: HARRIET HARDIN John Taylor, City Champion for the past five years, defended his net title in the M-V Tennis Tournament August 9th against "Herb" Penn runner up, gin winning the championship with score of 6/4- 4, 6- 5, 10-8. Penn played excellent tennis throughout, never once seming to lose confidence. Mrs. Edna Glass won the ladies Singles championship; Mrs. Glass and Ella Robinson won the ladies double championship; Mrs. Glass and brother, Paul Robinson won the mixed double championship and John Taylor and Herb Penn won the Men's double generalized, and out-punched him to a well earned decision. Gans was first to enter the ring as thousands of fans white and, colored cheered wildly. They were introduced, the gong clanged and the fight began. And boy! boy! what a scrap. Gans landed two straight lefts and pushing the fight. After less than half a minute rapid mixing, Callahan shot a hard right to Gans jaw. The blow whirled Gans across the ring and into the ropes. Groggy and badly shaken. Callahan tried his best to finish him but using his head, Gans saved himself by clinching and covering till he could get his bearings, and partly recover. In the second he was more careful and Callahan more confident, carrying the fight to Gans, but Gans had recovered and held him even. In the third Mushy landed three hard lefts t o Gans' wind but the game little fighter took them all and more than out pointed him the round through. In the fourth Mushy came out like a white and chasing finchily all over the ring, knocking him half through the ropes and staggering Gans hitting him with rights and leaves at will. From then on Gans piled up his big lead till the referee raised his hand in the tenth, while the thousands of fans white and colored yelled, screamed, and went wild long afterward. Central Avenue was crowder with well wishers late in the night and an impromptu dinner and reception was held when Gans ate his supper at the Entertainers Cafe. Matchmaker "Wad" Wadhams will undoubtedly sign the battlers for a return match. It is a cinch the house will be packed again. It was a whale of a scrap and there is no reason why the rematch shouldn't be even more exciting. Yoel McGovern thumped Manuel Frayo in the special event, Joe Schlocker, punching hard and boxing beautifully, coped the semi-wind-up from Freddie Mack. Joe Burn beat Al Neff and Tommy Palacio was defeated by Chappy Cruz. WOULD MATCH JOHNSON, CARPENTIER (By A. N. P.)

UPTON'S RAILROAD CLATTER By Chas. L. Upton ARTICLE I. Ever since Adam and Eve had such a wonderful romance, it has been said, that man shall not live in peace with a woe-man, or without a woe-man. So, according to that, poor man is in a ticklish position. Man, being the stronger of the two, is supposed to be woman's master; but it brings a laugh when you tell him of him as such man, in humiliation. Angels is in many cases afraid to speak above a whisper, although he is a past master at talking at the big gate. Woman has gradually come to the front in a most forceful way, exercising her rights with a rolling pin physically, and by casting her vote politically, the latter can best be testified to by talking to some poor, down-trodden man, who has sought a divorce. When he gets through singing the blues to you, there will be no doubt left in your mind as to her power with the biggest majority of domestic court judges. Why, Judge Summerfield will almost hang you on a woman's word, so what chance have you got. You might as well step right out and take one of the innocent things for life, and try to do as she says, or curl up and die. The only man who have any reasonable amount of success in securing a divorce after they are once hooked, are the ones who live in Hollywood, where they marry today and get a divorce tomorrow. However, there are a few left who have not succumbed to the pre-eminence of woman. You stand in a band, as the rock of Orgata, both in defiance of feminine interests with good jobs and fair incomes, they go unprompted in their care-free way, you say to tell them they must stay home, and no one to bounce a rolling pin off their heads. But it has been said that even a rock can be worn down by the constant dripping of water, and though, they appear hard boiled and unconcerned, SOME DAY THEY WILL FAIL; to this end, I am writing this article, in order to let the women of Los Angeles know that in their very midst, there are no less than fifty Pullman Porters, who are cheating some good woman out of a home and the comforts of life by staying single in defiance of old traditions—if the right woman comes along, at the right time and puts up the right kind of battle, the spoils will be hers. JUDGE WOOD OPPOSED BY ATTORNEY August 27, 1926. Editor "EAGLE"— Answering your question: I do not think that Judge Walton Wood expects the vote of any Negro other than a certain individual whose name appears on two "Wood" articles in your last issue. Your write-up, in November, 1922, concerning the case of Mrs. Annie Williams vs. Boos Bros. Cafeteria, should be remembered by every black man in the state. You will recall that Mrs. Annie Williams, a middle-aged, sincere colored W. C. T. U. worker, was most humiliatingly refused service when she and some of her white friends entered the cafeteria. Your paper then gave a clear, but mild idea of what Walton Wood thought of such cases, and how the people present in court were filled with chagrin over his avowed opposition to the law which he was compelled to enforce. I think that a judge should endeavor to leave the public in a mood to cooperate with the law which he is ELECTED TO ENFORCE UPON THOSE WHO ELECT HIM: otherwise, the law is a mockery! WOOD BOOST "BUNK" "Bunk" describes the article which was handed to you for publication representing that "Race Lawyers Endorse Wood." Of the twenty-one colored lawyers in os Angeles, only seven appeared there. Three of these have office together in a dark hallway in a dilapidated shack on Spring Street. Another, Lewis K Beeks, told me today, that he resents the brazen efferrery of whoever wrote Beeks' name as indorsing Wood and that Beeks does not believe that Attorney Murdock, out of the city today, authorized such use of Murdock's name. I tried in vain, to reach the other two named there. NOTE THE ABSENCE OF THE NAMES OF THE LEADING COLORED ATTORNEYS. The other article handed to you and, supporting to come from the Blackstone, Club, and indorsing, among others, Houser and Wood, is misleading. AUE McDOWELL.

It is stated that each and every one who attended the old fashion basket picnic at Eureka Villa last Saturday afternoon had a booming time. They tell me the jovial pienickers, later on in the evening, even did the old fashion basket dance to the tune "Yez we have no potato cakes—Jane." What tha ! ! ! ! ! ! This week's prize which is a set of left handed false teeth, goes to Mr. Oven L.

Auto Loads of Pedestrians, Sandwiches, Lemonade and Potato Salad! ! ! Everybody under the sun, that could attend the annual Sunday School Picnic which was held at Brookside Park, Pasadena this past Thursday, was there. I'll have to tell you about this gala even in my next week's load. Miss Helen Beck of Kansas City, Mo., is the house guest of her petite cousin, Miss Esther L. Beck of 975 So Berendo. When interviewed by ye Sparks editor, Miss Helen Beck stated that so far she thinks Los Angeles is a beautiful city and also that she is a primary school teacher in Kansas City. I'm telling you boys, right now, that you could just focus your lamps upon her just once. I'm thinking you would start going to school all over again; get promoted, but stay in her room all the time.

I was reading in the paper the other day where some charming New York maiden won a prize for eating 28 hot dogs in a record time of 12 minutes. I'll bet she barked plenty afterwards. They say one teaspoonful of caster oil trailed each dog. She must have been a great athlete. Eh? What? !!!!! In London the autoists are using cowcatchers on the front of their automobiles. Well, suppose they should accidently catch a calf, then what? Change catchers right quick, I guess. Huh? Mr. Bernard Jefferson says it wouldn't be a bad idea if each and every guest would wear a bumper when dancing at a crowded party or on a crowded floor. The Sparks Editor wishes to express sincere sympathy for himself and many sparks readers for the serious accident that happened last Saturday afternoon when the life of Mr. Wesley Griffin, Jr., was taken and five other young men who accompanied him were seriously injured. The sexet of boys including A. W. Parish, S. Vennis, Moredy Williams, Frank Qualls and young Anderson, Jr., were all members of the Laddies Club. Frank Qualls was the most seriously injured out of the five and is now in the county hospital. All are cared for by a speedy recovery. Let us hope that not only those involved in the accident will be more cautions, but that all of us will be.

It has that for the major offices to be chosen the not even had what is known as an o them. To select a candidate in the prim candidate or in other words, it is a conte this context the fact Tuesday night at 7:00 o'clock will bring to a close in some respects the most remarkable primary campaign ever heed within the confines of the State. It has been so from the fact that for the major offices to be chosen that the contenders have not even had what is known as an organized effort behind them. To select a candidate in the primary is personal to the candidate or in other words, it is a contest between factions. In this contest the factions have failed to perform as of yore. They have fallen short on even getting out propaganda to state their case. This paper, as a rule, opens its columns for the various candidates or factions to state their case to just whatever extent they desire measured by inches in advertising space. But in so far as the major offices are concerned there has not been any great demand for inches. Therefore being not in a position to donate ourselves no matter how much we would desire to do so, we had at no time an opportunity to call a tune. If we called a tune we certainly would have had to pay the fiddler for doing so. Therefore the columns of this paper have been wide open to all to state their case without running into counter editorials. In the gubernatorial contest, personally, we have well defined ideas and pronounced opinion and regret-very much the fact that for a newspaper man, the exigencies of the situation forbade our active participation via arenewspaper route. Men and measures, however, should at all times receive the serious thought and consideration of the people and summing up the accomplishments and what the various nominees stand for. It is easy indeed to make up the mind as to the candidate of your choice. This is the voting that makes good governments worth while, when citizens study men and measures for themselves and likewise form their choice without waiting to be told how to vote or following blindly the dictation of others. We cannot go wrong when we express our sincere appreciation to a man or woman who has demonstrated their worth as the sincere and elevated friend of all the people, and we, of the Negro race, would indeed be ingrates should we fail in the least in our support of Senator Shortridge. We want to say from our view of the situation, we can say to the Senator this morning, that we are with father Samuel 60,000 strong. As a neighbor, friend and co-worker of a man whom we have the highest personal regard for, and a republican beyond per adventure, who has faithfully serve the district, we must pause to speak up for him and announce our fondest hope for his return to the Assembly, as a reward for his faithful service If You Fail To Read The CALIFORNIA LAGLE You May Never Know It Happened Arthur S. Bent, president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, in a statement issued yesterday, drew attention to the rapid rate at which this city's water and power requirements are increasing and strongly urged that the people authorize the proposed water and power bonds at the August 31st primary election as the only means of developing additional water, and power resources and facilities now needed by industries and homes in this area. Mr. Bent pointed out that both the Water Bureau and the Power Bureau are self-sustaining municipal utilities and will meet all interest and principal charges on the bonds from their own earnings, without any cost whatever to the taxpayers. "Both the $10,000.00 water bond issue and the $11,000,000 power bond issue have been approved and endorsed by the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce," stated Mr. Bent. "This endorsement was given after a careful and detailed study of the needs of the City with regard to additional water and power supplies and facilities. "Investment of bond money, from time to time, to help finance additional water and power supplies as required by the people of Los Angeles is essential to the progress and prosperity of our city. Such investments of bond money are an orderly and businesslike procedure in expanding the City's water and power systems, and developing additional supplies of these necessities, as required. "The Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, in endorsing the bond issues, feels, and I personally am convinced, that these bonds are necessary at this time; and the work thus to be financed should be carried forward without delay." "Our City is in the business of supplying its citizens with water, power and light. If Los Angeles' increasing water, power and light requirements are to be met, and this city's continued expansion and prosperity thus supported, we must provide for the development of this vital resources through the issuance of bonds. "Our Water Bureau and our Power Bureau are both self-supporting utilities. Therefore, it will cost the taxpayers nothing to approve the proposed water and power bonds. All charges on these bonds, as provided in our new City Charter, are paid from earnings of the Water and Power Bureau, and not from taxes." Mr. Bent is a member of Bent Brothers, Inc., a construction firm which recently completed the building of the Exchequer Dam on the Merced River in California. This dam, one of the largest water storage structures ever built in this state, has created a reservoir capable of storing 280,000 acre feet of water for the Merced Irrigation project. Judge Stephens was elected at the primaries the last time he was candidate, scoring a three thousand majority over his nearest opponent. He has qualified his friends point out, by serving in every department of the Superior Court and his record has brought him recognition as one of the leading jurists of the state. William T. Craig and Ida May Adams, two of the leading attorneys of Los Angeles are chairmen of his general campaign committee and his women's campaign committee, respectively. Raymond A. Nelson, campaign manager, declares that the enthusiasm for Judge Stephens is county wide and that if all of the jurist's friends will go to the polls on election day, his re-election at the primaries is assured. Among the endorsements received by Judge Stephens are: Bar Association; Blackstone Club; California Jewish Voice; Central Labor Council; City Attorneys' Association; Civic Endeavor Association; Color Non-partisan League; Figueroa Business Men's Association; Hoover Street Business Men's Association; Jugoslav Central League; Lorena Heights Club; Los Angeles County Council United Veterans of the Republic; Public Welfare League; Southwest Improvement Association; State Building Trade Council; The Civic Federation of Los Angeles County; Twelfth District Civic League and by many political organizations. A. P. ALBERGA ANSWERS Dr. H. C. HUDSON (Continued from page b) ing facts. First, it is presumed Dr. Hudson must have received his information about the eloquent speech of Mrs. Bethune from a person who, like himself, was not present when the speech was made at Douglass Temple. Mrs. Bethune did not thank the Governor for his appointment of Negroes to any position, notwithstanding the fact that he has had appointed three members of the race to the Harbor Commission employment. The issuance of two permits to conduct boxing contests in the State. The issuance of a concession in the Ferry Building at San Francisco to a disabled World War Veteran of our group; also, the very liberal and broad attitude that the real estate commissioner, Building & Loan Commissioner, the State Veterans' Welfare Board have shown to many of our group in the last three and a half years; secondly, Mrs. Bethune did en- 5-room-cottage, lot 50x150, at 825 E. 28th St., 2 large bed rooms, price $6500, $1200 to $1500 cash, balance easy.

Central Ave. WESTmore 5508 Barnes For Supervisor Endorsed By German- American League Representing a federation of thirty-eight German Societies with 40-registered voters in Los Angeles, the German-American League has given its endorsement to Councilman A. J. Barnes for Supervisor, 3rd District, according to a statement of his campaign committee. Barnes' supporters claim that despite the lateness of his entrance into the race, his candidacy is rapidly wod Republican Club, the following resolution was unanimously adopted endorsing Mr. Barnes:— "It is most important to the citizens and taxpayers of this District to have a representative as Supervisor in whom we can place the fullest confidence as to honesty, integrity and ability. Therefore, be it Resolved, that this organization does hereby endorse the candidacy of A. J. Barnes for Supervisor, and be it further resolved that we do everything within our power to help in electing Mr. Barnes." The Barnes sentiment on the East Side of the District is growing by leaps and bounds and a strong support is promised for his success. she had Listened attentively to his ad dress, The statement that Dr. Hudson dorse the Governor's candidacy after made, viz., that Mrs. Bethune praised the Governor for what he SHOULD HAVE DONE is not alone an IN-SULT to this leader of the Women's Federated Clubs, of America, who in her absence from our community is without an opportunity to defend herself or reiterate the statements that she made or that occasion, but is also a leader of the leaders of the Women's Club of California and to those present on that occasion. There is no doubt but that the actions of Dr. Hudson will have a tendency to cement and unite the women, not alone of Los Angeles, but of the whole State, in carrying out the advice and counsel given them by our most capable leader in America today.

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS -- THE HUB OF PROSPERITY Whether you realize it or not, the electric railway is the hub around which the whole development of your community revolves. The electric railways render a service that is fundamental. They afford a transportation agency around which modern cities are built. They are at the service of all the people all the time and in every kind of weather. Directly or indirectly, every individual of the community is benefitted by good service. Your business, your pleasure and your income are advanced because of the stimulant that the operation of cars aids to industries. Your real estate holdings are likewise enhanced in value. When you boost your local transportation Company you are boosting your own prosperity. Pacific Electric Ry. PASSENGER FREIGHT EXPRESS. FRIDAY. AUGST 20, 1926. ```markdown ``` Mr. J. L. Arthur, Supt. Pullman Go, Kansas City, arrived last Friday, August 13th at 2 P. M. on the Los Angeles Limited. He will take charge of the Los Angeles District at once. The men in this district expect to cooperate with Mr. Arthur to their fullest extent in keeping the Los Angeles District the prize District; that it has always held the reputation of being. It is to be hoped that our new Supt. will be fair in his dealings with the boys and give an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, thus assuring team work and a hundred per cent efficiency at all times. When you are reading the Clatter this week, the writer will be shaking sheets and fighting dust between Los Angeles and Detroit, Mich., answering a thousand questions and as many bells as is humanly possible for one pulphan porter to do. He also will be eating, when he can get it and sleeping the same way, jumping off at this station and that one in a wild scramble for a bucket of ice, which seems to melt before you put it in the coolers. And when in need of a little more added exercise, will grab a mop which is always handy and proceed to swing it in a most graceful and dignified manner across the checkers of the smoking room floor. While doing all of these things he will be making an effort to drive a dime up to as many dollars as is possible for him to do so, and as my good friend HARRY will LET me SAY ONE OF LIFE'S LITTLE THINGS. JOE HOLMES GETS BUMPED Running true to form and just as the Clatter predicted last week, one button Joe Holmes, operating in the Coast Pool was heartlessly bumped by Joe Lee; the only thing strange about this is that Joe has not got the power to take the line until the 16th. That's very funny indeed, surely Joe cannot be doing any days. 0—00—0 BULLET MAY KILL MAN; ASSAILANT HELD Police Arrest Assailant of Colored Railroad Porter After Shooting Affray Shot through the abdomen by Jerry Washington while visiting at 3025 Webster street, San Diego, Herman Washington, railroad porter, was in a serious condition at the County Hospital Last Friday night. Jerry Washington was arrested by Detective Sergeant John Kane at the Webster Street address a short time after the shooting and at Detective headquarters gave a complete statement of the affair, police said. He said he shot in self-defense, after Herman had threatened his life because he had objected to an insult allied to have been made to the house-keeper at the former's home. Washington was taken to the County Hospital from a drug store at 16th and Broadway, where he had gone for treatment following the shooting. Jerry Washington was held in the city jail last night on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder. 0—00—0 Next Week the first installment of Upton's Matrimonial Chart will be published in this column. 0—00—0 JUNE SCOTT OF ST.

Mrs. Scott is here with him and will look after her husband in an endeavor to restore his health along with the aid of California's cheerful sunshine. Mr. Scott is 17 years in the service and can be seen at 510 Huntington Drive, Monrovia Calif. Why go back to the snow and ice, Mr. Scott? There is room for you and the madam in California, the land of the sunshine, winter, and summer. MOTOR TO BIG BEAR LAKE Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Graham and Mr. and Mrs. J. T.

This Doll Baby is a nickname that was hitched on to his birthday ago back East and he has never been able to get rid of it. Mr. Walker operated on the Santa Fe from K. C. to Los Angeles for a number of years and up to recently was in good health; but the long wars across the desert began to tell him and his doctor advised him to come to California to live, so he put in for his transfer, which is another boost for California climate. H. W. WEEKS In last week's Clatter it was reported that H. W. Weeks was taken to the hospital, which was very true, but in order that his friends may not become alarmed over the report, we will explain more fully data which we were unable to get at the last writing. Mr. Weeks ran a sliver into his little finger and holloed so loud in the New Bronx Hotel that the manager thought he was being murdered and called an ambulance to take him to the General Hospital. When they arrived with him, all that was the matter was a sliver in his little finger. Upton's Matrimonial Chart will be published in next week's issue.

Other guests were Mrs. Wm. Day; Mrs. E. Taylor; Mrs. Freddie Perry; Mrs. Mitchell; Mrs. Helen Scott; Miss Willie Penn and Mrs. Lillian Harris. FRESNO A demonstrative protest against unscrupulous Negro politicians, who have been selling the Negro vote, was voiced in a big mass meeting at Garibaldi Hall last Friday night. The practice of these so-called race leaders in accepting various sums of money from candidates and promising them in return the Negro vote, has had its damaging effect in blocking every effort put forth by our group to gain recognition in city and county affairs. Out of the mass meeting a permanent, dominant political organization was formed for the purpose of combating these conditions and for the general progressiveness of the Negro in this city and county. William A. Biggy, Jr., was elected President; Mrs. Irene Hinds, Vice-Pres.; James L. Clarke, Secy.; Robert Strother, Asst. Secy.; Rev. Fred A. Hughes, Treas.; Mrs. Etta Mae Kennedy, Personal Secretary to the President: The Executive Board is headed by J. E. H. Knicholls, Chairman; -William Page, Mrs. A. Harris Crawford, John Cannon, Mrs. Minnie Howard, S. O. Sheffield, Mrs. Etta Mae Kennedy, The President, Secretary and Treasurer will also act as ex-officio members of the Executive Board. Speakers of the evening were Wm. A. Biggy, Jr.; S. O. Sheffield; Mrs. Ida Johnson; J. E. G. Knicholls; Mrs. A. Harris Crawford; Rev. Fred Hughes; Mrs. Etta Mae Kennedy and Sam C. Hambial. Headquarters have been opened up at 1401 "F" street. In compliment to her house guest, Miss Cleo Sparks of Sacramento, Miss Helen Wolfe entertained a large group of the younger set last Thursday evening at her residence in "D" street; dancing was the principal mode of pleasure, with cards as a secondary SPARKS ---From--- THE QUILL ---Of--- Noah M. THOMPSON Hello Folks! You know "Swinging" is the very latest, and very much improved term for that famous evening exercise better known as "Necking" and they tell me that the chiropractic doctors are doing a land office business, especially on Mondays, working the stiffness out of the necks of the guys that do a good deal of "swinging" over the week-end. I reckon!!!! I attended the Gingham Dance, Monday evening out at the new Jazz-and Cafe, but didn't see much gingham--maybe it wasn't supposed to be seen. Eh? What? ?!!! "I'm hot stuff" said the mustard as it was being spread upon a hot dog. Yipe! Yipe! Bow Wow!!! The Dodecs are going to give a Hot Dawg bake at the Pacific Palisades this coming Monday night. Um, yum, spud salad and pickled pop. Bring your dawg collars and don't forget the collar buttons for the dog's collars either. Uncle Joe says, "It is estimated that the average peanut machine wastes ten cents a day whistling." Mr. Thomas W.

The guest list included of the younger set, with a sprinkling of the younger married contingent. Col. and Mrs. Ed. Jones have with them for a several months' sojourn, the latter's sister, Mrs. I. S. Wilson of Denver, Colo. Mrs. Wilson is the wife of Dr. I. S. Wilson, a Presiding Elder of the A. M. E. Conference. Mrs. William A. Bigby, Jr., who is spending the summer in the BayCities mottoway down to Santa Cruz for several days, sojourn. Rev. J. D. Wilson, the eminent pastor of the 85th Ave. Baptist Church in Oakland occupied the pulpit at the Second Baptist Church last Sunday and gave a very forceful lecture on "Negro Inconsistencies" on Monday night. After having attended the National Federation in Oakland, Mrs. Alice Foster and Mrs. Henry Sims are still enjoying the cool breezes around the bay. Mr. and Mrs. Russel E. King and daughter, Miss Marjorie King of Santa Monica were the week-end house guests of William A. Bigby, Jr., while en route home last week. Mr. King is the head field representative of the Hefflin Mfg. Co., in Los Angeles. James W. H. Harding and Thomas Irving were in town for the week, having come in on the private car "Santa Barbara." The Negro Exposition The season's Carnival at the White Sox Ball Park is a success, beyond question. The promoters are worthy of commendation, but the affair bears no resemblance to a Negro Industrial Exposition in which the exhibits of Negro enterprises and industries are on display. The Negroes of Los Angeles have no part in this supposed exposition nor does this stunt represent the Negro industrial progress in these years. The term "Negro Exposition" is misleading and a slap in the face to the progressive Negroes in this city, but has served the purpose of a few political pie hunters to enrich their morally distorted stomachs at the expense of twenty thousand Negroes who will never stoop to a thing so low. We wish it to be generally known that this is NOT A NEGRO EXPOSITION, but a Carnival in the Beal Street Style. Don't lie gentlemen, tell the truth and put your program over. (Signed) J. S. D.

It not only demonstrates civic pride, but enhances the value of the home and makes the burden of living easier. The eimmense net saving of $500,000.00 annually to tax payers is the answer as to our position on this particular bond issue. The city must keep pace along business lines just the same as an individual in business if it is to gain the maximum results. The greater results which the city attains for water and power the greater saving accrues to the consumer of these commodities. As we understand it the present bond issue will add two units to power plant No. 1, which will produce 28,000 horse power. This will be only a part of the benefit as a result of buying the lands in Owens' Valley. This horse power will help in reducing other consumer's costs to a minimum. we must at all times safe guard our opportunity to keep up to the highest efficiency our present city owned proposition which means the very heart and core of our present advanced standing, and in this situation give to the power bonds our unstinted support.

Shortridge? It is unreasonable to suppose there would be EVEN ONE who would do so, unless it would be for petty pelf or filthy lucre. Senator Shortridge is now and always has been a real humanitarian and one who has, with sincere devotion at all times, championed the cause of the down trodden without regard to race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Especially this has been the attitude of Senator Shortridge toward the colored citizens of California and later of the Nation. His deed in championing the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill on the floor of the United States Senate was but in keeping with his stand for fair play for all peoples during his entire career. His stand for our group has been more outstanding, for the simple reason that they have stood in greater need of his service. In other words they have been more oppressed than any other class. In the face of these circumstances, if there are any of our group who would fail to rally to the cause of the Senator's success, they can be classed as nothing less than ingrates. We want to say that it is imperative for all of us to rise up to the occasion and do our utmost in the present situation, by voting for the Senator and getting out every possible vote to help re-elect, not one whom we have heard to be a friend to all the people, but one whom we know is that friend. Aside from this angle of the situation, Senator Shortridge has in his first term in the Senate, become one of the strong spokes in the wheels of the Government, and is recognized for his ability and accomplishments. He is a high credit to California and the nation. California is complimented indeed at the opportunity to return him to the Senate for another term.

One of the most elaborate luncheons of the season was given at the beautifully decorated home of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, 1448 W. 35th St., by Miss Carrie Walker and Miss Irma Brown. The evening was spent in playing cards and piano solos. The winner of the first prize was Mrs. Alice Lotts, the second prize, Miss Johnnie Scaggs. After the amusements, the guests were seated at the table and refreshments of all kinds were served. The purpose f the luncheon was to announce the marriage of Mr. Walter Brown to Miss Carrie Walker which is to take place, September 15, 1926. Among those present was Miss Irma Brown, Miss Carrie Walker, Miss Helen Andrews, Miss Evelyn Eldridge, Miss Clara Washington, Miss Constant Philipa, Miss Juanta Craddock, Miss Jeece, Miss Ruby Brown and Miss Johnne Sagittarii.

Call Anselmus 5652. 8-20-r-2 1 If You Fail To Read The CALIFORNIA EAGLE You May Never Know It Happened THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Much is being said about Mrs. Bethune's praising Governor Richardson for giving such a welcome reception to the club women, and thereby endorsing Governor Richardson for re-election. It takes a weak or biased mind to stretch what Mrs. Bethune said as an endorsement of the Governor. I took it as a high-class criticism of the Governor and his administration. Have you ever been publicly praised and given credit for doing something that you had not been man enough to do? That was the situation that the Chief Executive found himself in. First. No great honor can be given our Governor for the reception accorded our ladies. Mrs's Bethune told how the people of Salt Lake City had sent a special committee to meet the train and held a special concert in Morman Temple for delegates. She also told of how the Chamber of Commerce of Colorado took the whole delegation sight-seeing in that city. Then the California welcome that some would make political capital of was only following the example set by other states through which the delegation passed. Mrs. Bethune praised the Governor for being big enough to see no color when making his appointments for office and told him that it took a big man to select his aid with regards to the color of his skin, and she also pleaded that other Governors would follow his example and give the colored man a chance and that all we wanted was our equal chance with other citizens, and no special favors. How that could be taken as an endorsement when none of the conditions in the speech had been met I fail to see. Praise him for being big enough to make his appointments without regards to color, when he had failed in his whole administration to appoint a colored man to a single position. We pleaded for a judge and united in requesting the appointment of Mr. Ceruti, but the big man appointed fifty-seven, without touching us. She praised him for giving us a chance, when he knew that he had not done that. She praised him for seeing no color when that is all he saw. She thanked him for the hope he held out when the only hope he showed us was a stronger national guard that would protect us during riots. Mrs. Bethune praised him for what he should have done. He failed to measure up to her rule, and he knows it. Let us help to retire him to private life? In so doing we will make the chance Mrs. B. prayed for. H. C. HUDSON. RE-ELECT HIM!

Mr. Williams was a delegate from Barranquilla County to the Republican State Convention which convened in Albuquerque, N. M., Augu- t 8th. Barnes For Supervisor Endorsed By German- American League Representing a federation of thirty-eight German Societies with 40-registered voters in Los Angeles, the German-American League has given its endorsement to Councilman A. J. Barnes for Supervisor, 3rd District, according to a statement of his campaign committee. Barnes' supporters claim that despite the lateness of his entrance into the race, his candidacy is rapidly M. gaining momentum. They point to the fact that his record on the City Council and as a civic leader especially qualify him for the office of supervisor. At a meeting of the West Hollywood Republican Club, the following resolution was unanimously adopted endorsing Mr. Barnes— "It is most important to the citizens and taxpayers of this District to have a representative as Supervisor in whom we can place the fullest confidence as to honesty, integrity and ability. Therefore, be it Resolved, that this organization does hereby endorse the candidacy of A. J. Barnes for Supervisor, and be it further resolved that we do everything within our power to help, in electing Mr. Barnes." The Barnes sentiment on the East Side of the District is growing by leaps and bounds and a strong support is promised for his success. ALBERGA HITS TOWN THINGS PICK UP IN RICHARDSON CAMP A. P. Alberga of San Francisco hit town Saturday and immediately things began to pick up in the Richardson camp. And after conferring with the redoubtable (Pop) Sanders, things began to happen. The wiley and resourceful Sanders had already arranged for the appearance of Governor Richardson at Douglas Temple Spiritualist Church for Sunday evening and in came Alberga who put the cap stone on the affair by producing Mrs. Bethne. To say that it was a knock-out is putting the question mildly. Even the most rabid enemy of Richardson must give (Pop) Sanders and Alberga credit for the coup they put over.

The promoters will start a two years' training course, designed to round out the greatest group of young athletes ever to participate in a single event. Twelve thousand applications will be received and 4,000 boys will be chosen from associations along the route, one runner to each quarter mile. Only boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen will be accepted. By grit and gameness, Charles Jaeger, twenty-one years old, of Newark, N.

It also places upon the Munici- pal Water and Power Bureaus the ex- traordinary task of keeping pace with these demands. “It is obvious that the only practical and business-like method ‘if financing these permanent extensions and de- velopments is through the ixduanee of bonds, to be retired from*Water and Power Bureau earnings over a period of years. é “All interest and annual principal charges on these bonds are paid out of the revenues of the Water and Pow- ‘er Bureaus, For this reason, the vot- ing of additional water and power bonds, as required, does not cost the taxpayers a single dollar. : “Of the $10,000,00 water bond is- sue, approximately $6,000,000 are re- quired to carry through the city's wat er bearing land purchases in Owens Valley, sourée of the Aqueduct water jsupply, Possession of this land’ by the City is required to guarantee and ‘safeguard its aqueduet water supply. “To help finance additional reser- voir, storage, and water distributing trunk lines within the city itself, bond funds to the amount of $4,000,000 will be required during the next,two years. “As the demand for greater quan- tities of water in Los Angeles are met by bringing down increasing volumes of water thraugh the Aqueduct, the Municipal Power Bureau is presented with the opportunity to increase its production of hydro-electric power in generating plants along the water line. : ‘ "Ay portion of the $11,000,000 pow- er bore! ioue ix required to installa ditignal, generating facilities at Fev. ‘er Plant No.|1. ‘Installation of these units will pore it possible, for thi Bureau to. produce 28,000 horsepow- er of electric energy in'addition to the quantity which can now be generated in its Aqueduct plants, The =re- naindee. of the bond aioe is-needed to help finance, utgently needed expans sions to ite facilities for the ania art eyer increasing volume of elec- a ee er HOT FIGHT IN 73rd, ASSEMBLY DISTRICT * The fight-of Attorney Tyler fot the a fh tira Deri es gx jat a fast pace.

Attorney Tyler han been a resident of the 73rd District for 15 years, dur- vg this'time he has taken an active part in polities, but never before sought public office, elective or _ap- pointive. The issues are too vital at this time in the opinion of Attorney Tyler. to be overlooked for, any rees- on of private business. The public pow has an interest that must be serv- ed for the publie’s good. DIVORCE REFORM Attorney Tyler urges in hig plat- form, a very important change in our present divorce laws. The .evil he will seek to correct by proper legisla- tion, relates to what is called the “en- try” of the final decree. Attorney Ty- ler pins out a when a divorce is granted ‘by the judge, a decree must be filed. This ‘decree is called an In- terlocutory Deeree, which is not a di- vorce at all, for in fact. not until one year expires can the final decree, or decree of divorce be “entered.” This is never done unless: the attorney for divorced wife, or husband files such a decree and presents it to the Court for signature (and finally) “entry” in the Judgment Book. In thousands of cases, neither party requests that this be done.’ A divotced person moves away, or, waits one year and re-mar- ries without further ado, and thinks himself—or (herself)—divorced. This entangles property rights and in fact is bigamy~in many cases. Under the reform urged by: Attorney Tyler, one year after the First Decree is entered, ur pecshe, Decrises Anak by operation of law, and neither divorced party has any further concam, nor could” any mistake be made by a remarriage by either., Attorney Tyler says 3 ands of married couples now living together have had to re-marry because of the mistake he points ‘out, and many, many thousands are not, now legally married, because no Final De- cree hab ever bee entered in the mat- ter of their former divorce. All ‘of these difficulties would be overcome by his proposed reform. WATER In the 73rd Assembly District, there are of course some people of consi erable wealth, though no, portion of it is, technically speaking, @ thillionaire colony, at this time, although at one time many rich people lived on what is now the Western edge of the District. ‘The rank and file of the voters in the ‘TBrd Assembly District are. vitally concerned in those great’ utilities, which'are in’ fact, living necessities, auch as water, electric power and gas, which can be, and are being) distribut- ed under the wonderful program of municipal ownership, now afforded the people of the city of Los Angeles. The bate rate for waler per’ one thousand eubie feet in San Francisco (privately owned company) is $28.00, while in Los Angeles, the rate is only $15.00. In some cities, the rate is as high as $35.00-per one thousand cubic ee re the average for 183 cities wad $17.29, thus proving that: Los An- weles.is being afforded a very low Water rate, free of any cl (or motige forties, sock an San Peeactaso must pay. Everyone knows that the low electric power rate has been the back-bone of our manufacturing in- dustries and business. . For. these rea- sons, public ownership of water, elec. tric ower and gas, should never be surrendered, by failure to pass ‘the necessary eoabling acts, so that the water from the Boulder Dam, when onee. we get. it, can be made available as ell am the hydro-electric pamer de vel erefrom, for. 0% Southern California: Sh | The-state should be re-apportioned, and all the laws shouldbe enforced, ‘The diffigulty with too many, izations, and” groupe: ster, al i A rye they, aa ensle activity ben a pail jaw, or. a, < Si ae re oy laws of equal ates and, just 98. nepessar, e ie “guidance ia Sona aes sed Pahoa sthe fearless support. of all ‘private - and Rt ta the enn oe eibing, theie dy.

CANCER IN WOMEN OF 40 YEARS Nothing teaches, like | experience “Doctor, I “know it’s too late now. I know I’ will never get well, I'm just dying toy degrees. "And nothing ‘ean save me. When you tried to get me to have'the tumor removed last’ year, I thought I would get around it and just-kept putting it off. Now I know it’s too late!” I just. left the bedside of one of the finest women in Los. An- eles, who wept out those sad words. A year ago I plead with this woman as T should hava plead with my own sister tovhave a laboratory examina- tion and the operation if necesary to remove the awful enemy which had in- vaded her body. But she was human. She hated the word. “operation,” she “tried to get around it,” she waited! Today she would have’ not only one operation but one hundred operations —if any surgeon in the world could hold out any hope to'her. But as she herself says, unless God performs a miracle for her it is ‘‘too late.” Caneer taken in time’ is one of the easiest conditions in the world to cure—because it is only a small, local lesion. Let it go too long and no power under heaven can arrest it be- cause the disease has made its way thrrough the blod or lynmph stream into all parts of the body. And a sur- geon would have to take the whole body apart in order to get all part of the cancer. This of course is a Phys- ical impossibility. It is because it is Datural for cancers to form little metestatic or secondary growths all throughout the entire body. After they reach a certain period in their development—that I, with every oth- er doctorw ho has the well-being of ‘humanity at heart, urge every woman with any kind of tumor to be examin- ed aud accept the propert treatment, even thought it be an operation before it is too late! HOW CANCERS -FORM Women above 35 are especially sub- ject to cancer. All of the female or- gans, the mouth of the womb and the mouth of the vagina are especially susceptible cites. Often I'find in pa- tients this history. A woman about 40 or 45, years comes into the office for examination. She was torn or lae- erated 20 years ago in child birth and the lacgration was never repatred, Now shé is annoyed with a dischargé —I place her on the table and find a tumor Which resembles a cancer. 1 explain to her, the condition. She is shocked and surprised. She is not sick;’ She has only had a little an- noying discharge, sometimes mixed with a little, blood, but surely _ she hasn't any ‘caneer! ' I tell her that a laboratory examination of the growth is the only, possible way to make a positive diagnosis early. She cannot ite make up her mind, I tell her that che may lose her life if she hesi- tates, that a quick decision and prompt action are the only salvation in cancer. She still hesitates and fin- ally decides to “go home and think it over.” |I wish I had time to tell you of the large number of women whom I.have known in my short time of ser- vice as a physician who have “thought: it over” until it was alto- gether too late. “Thought it over,” until they have finally gone to the Gounty Hospital to end their days in misery and die & premature death— Gust because they could .not quite make up their minds to-have a growth removed while it was still a simple ‘tumor or an early cancer. PROCRASTINATION -AND DEATH ‘You can “put off an-operation and medical treatment but you canniot “put: off” Death. The grim reaper comes whether, you are ready for him or not. And yet how many, many, women between 35-and 55 years are, flirting with, death today,—by _put- ting off examination asi’ treatment for old |lacefations and possible tu- mor growths: I have in mind this morning five womep, who have been to.my office ‘tecently who ‘have to- ‘iors, each of whom ean still be op- erated upon with comparative safety and a good chance ifor complete re- covery, But they are in the class of thoge ‘who run ‘the ‘terrible risk of *putting it off,” for a iwhile~longer. +DANGER SIGNS 1, Qld lacerations ‘or tearz—from. ebildbiyth.- If these tre nab L at time.of delivery, do not let; of 85 or 40 Gnd them stilt e ose are potential seats for: 5 ially the irrega~ lar: apossring of Hood sénne sen the vot beginning cancer: '~ & out, “dea down” feel- often dua. to ¢ of ox- 6% lacerations ‘may lead to a nop wom Beek the Ae es o's tompeteas at ones 3 200 onpe.: tt ber is cifersase. bicween te de ley sapere snes a 35) are mere: suse: to. cancer. than-Soung women, Gees Meamrock se Sheva Maprovia, Calit.
