WEDDING EVENT OF SUNDAY WEEK AGO
COUPLE SPENDING HONEYMOON AT SAN DIEGO
THE WEDDING
Edito
ON THE WING
In our swing around the circle leaving Los Angeles on the 31st inst. we arrived in Oakland the morning of September 1st. We crossed the bay and passed out of the Ferry Building to the environs of John Taylor's Skip stand at which he was watching the many cash customers and at the same time superintending the erection of another lunch stand not one hundred feet distant. For his loyalty and great service these concessions have been his reward by the present state administration. Be it known alo- so that this recognition is not to be passed lightly for in dollars and cents their valuation runs into the thousands of dollars. Passing on we found the new location of Attorney Oscar Hudson on Merchant street. After his memorable trip to Monrovia this eminent barrister is getting located by taking his former station in his profession. Continued on page 6.
WEDDING EVENT OF
COUPLE SPENDING HON
Mr. and Mrs. T. Hyde Wade, whose wedding was one of the season's brilliant events, are spending their honeymoon at San Diego, California, and, after their return will make their home in South Los Angeles.
Mrs. Wade was formerly Miss Ernestine Cleopatra Jones, very attractive daughter of Mrs. Geneva Jones of 1836 East 52nd Street, the double ring ceremony being performed at St. Odelia Catholic Church, Father Schlecht officiating.
The bridal party consisted of Mrs. Geneva Jones, Misses Cornelia Edwards, Thelma B. Porter, Emma Lee Sayars, Eather and Amael Matilda, and Erma Jones; Mr. and Helen; Messrs. Gonza Wade, Leon Edwards, John Prowd, J. B. Bass, Matthieu and Virgil Morrow, and after the ceremony occupied the guest table at the Christian Tavern where an elaborate reception was in order.
The bride was charming in a frock or white creme de chine heavily headed in rhinestones, pearls and silver beads and wore a vell of tails and orange blossoms being entangled into a horse shoe and held in place with a cluster of pearls. She carried a large bouquet of white sweet peas, orange blossoms, and lilies of the valley.

Rush Prisoner To Jackson, Tennessee, For Safe Keeping
Jackson, Tenn., Sept. 15.—Tom Alen, age twenty, was brought here early Sunday morning and placed in jail on a charge of raping a white girl in Brownsville, Tennessee. The prisoner was arrested Saturday night and placed in the Brownsville jail, but due to the high feeling against him it was thought prudent to bring him here. Alen denied the charge.
WILL JESUS COME AGAIN TO EARTH IN BODILY FORM?
Come and hear an answer to this vital question at Christian Missionary Alliance, Branch No. 2, 1432 E. 25th street. Rev. E. M. Scott of Oberlin, Ohio, speaking.
SUNDAY WEEK AGO
EYMOON AT SAN DIEGO
The maid of honor, Miss Cornellie Edwards was dainty in a frock of green trimmed with orchid plumes. Gonna Wade, bother of the groom was the best man.
Upon the arrival of tip bride and groom, they marched into the Tavern to the familiar wedding march played by -Miss T. B. Porter, after which "O Perfect Love" was sung by Miss Anna Mal Griffith. The bridal party then repaired to the bridal table.
"The Christian Tavern, scene of the reception, was beautifully decorated in white and pink sweet peas—directly over the bridal table hung a great white horsehoe of white sweet peas. The service was carried out in horse-shoe style, the ice cream being in horse shoe shape with "good luck" inside.
Mr. and Mrs. Wade are highly respected young people of this community. Mr. Wade is a landscape partner and Mrs. Wade, before marriage, secretary for the California Eagle.
The Wades are to be happily domiciled in their new and beautiful bungalow in South Los Angeles upon their return from San Diego.
The many friends of the bride living in and out of Los Angeles are wishing her a happy matrimonial voyage.

AMEE SEMPLE McPHERSON TO SPEAK AT THE BETH EDEN BAPTIST TEMPLE
THE MUSICIAN
Above is Amee Semple McPherson who will speak at Beth Eden Baptist Temple, 27th and Paloma Sts., Monday Night, September 19th. Come early and hear this powerful woman Gospel preacher.—DR, L. B. BROWN, Pastor.
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 44. For the sixth successive term, between ten and twelve thousand Baptists, members of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated meeting for its 47th annual session, elected Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, president, and placed in office again all the other executive officers of the convention, at a meeting held here Thursday morning.
The custom of electing the president at the afternoon meeting of the first day was not adhered to this year, although there was no noticeable opposition in the office. Some of the candidates that the state concessions had not been held and that that caused the carrying over of the election from Wednesday to Thursday.
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 15. — Society has been dedicated to the mournant, that Mrs. Mae Walker, heiress to the Walker million, has been married to Marion Perry, one of Pittsburgh's most prominent, and promising attorneys, Mrs. Mae Walker Gordon Jackson was the former wife or Dr. Gordon Jackson. The quiet wedding which joined the couple has been contrasted with the famous, and some are bold enough to declare "ill fated" million dollar wedding hold when Miss Walker was joined in wedlock with Dr. Gordon Jackson, a few years ago. While friends are congratulating the couple and wishing them all of the prosperity and everything, a few intimate friends of the groom are felicitating him upon finally "tanning an heiress." It was whisper-A a few years ago that Mr. Perry was making a strong bid for the hand of an Ohio house of all gossip, but a "fraternity brother of his won the fair lady."
DISPENSATION IS GRANTED
LOS ANGELES CAMPS
BY: ATTY, CURTIS C. TAYLOR
(Commander Camp No. 5)
The annual membership campaign of Los Angeles camps of the American Woodmen was launched September 1st, and will continue for three months closing November 30th with a mammoth log rolling and "Feast in the Forest" at which time it is expected that between three and four hundred new members will be inducted into the realm of Woodcraft.
The growth of the American Woodmen since its advent in Los Angeles has been almost phenomenal for since September, 1922, approximately eighteen hundred members have joined the Order in this city and has made necessary the organization of three camps to facilitate the local activities. The splendid field force under the able supervision of Mr. Ben H. Graa

To the Editorial Staff,
California Eagle:
We are indeed pleased to note the steady increase of Display Advertising appearing in the columns of your publication.
At last, you have awakened the large down-town business establishments to the real value of Eagle Advertising. The large display advertisements of such firms as' F. W. Woolworth Co., Yellow Cab Co., New York Hat Store, Typewriter Inspection Co., and many other critical advertisers are indeed a splendid sign of progress. What about this increase? What is causing it? Don't worry. "There's a reason."
Such firms as those mentioned above have long ago ceased to experiment with advertising. Their trained advertising men place ads. only where they know results will follow. Why did they select Eagle advertising? Here is the reason: The trained eye of the Publicity Expert needs only to pursue the reading columns of "The Soaring Eagle" and therein he finds reasons galore for his just decision.
His inspection reveals the intricacies of a full and well balanced first-class newspaper. An interesting, reliable life of the people it represents. Their toys, their clothes, their books, their ambitions, their social and business activities; and last but not least, a paper with a distinct cultural policy: "The race: First, Last, and Always." A kaleidoscope of intensity, the heart-throbs of a people, the life of a community.
Is it a wonder that he selects The Eagle in preference to other mediums or advertisement? Is it a wonder that the community at large is heralding "The Scarring Eagle" in her upward flight? Nay, nay, my friends, your persistent efforts of the past twenty years have justly earned this meager expression of confidence. Soar on, Old Eagle! We're with you! Your thousands of admirers are watching you, and when you reach the highest pinnacle of success, deep down in history we'll place a mark: Success—faithfully deserved, creditably earned, and justly attained. The faithful Old Eagle and its staff of efficient co-workers, we are indeed proud of you! You are really doing things that make of us a better Race and incidentally you are serving as a beacon light for the future generation.
Yours, for more Salient Successes,
GEORGE W. CALDWELL.
IF it were not for such expressions of appreciation from the keenly alert, such as George W. Caldwell, we would at times feel that our efforts, at least in part, had been in vain.
Realizing that this note of recognition is not prompted by any selfish motive but is merely a spontaneous outburst from one who is ever ready to give credit when and wherever it is merited, we receive it in the same spirit in which it is given—and we pass it on, Mr. Caldwell, with the hope that others just now aspiring to do something for the Race in a business sense, be inspired to persevere, because of the encouragement you give so freely.
We are thinking of firms and individuals making the same strides towards the goal which we seek to reach—and what we hope for ourselves, we hope for them.
WHILE on the side-walk this week, starting at 9th and Central Avenue, we looked in on Baumann's Drug Store, No. 1, sodas were going freely and business on the whole seemed to be good. Just across from Baumann's on the Southwest corner of 9th and Central is a hat shop, owned and manned by a Jew who came over from Hollywood more than a year ago, and seeing the possibility of filling a need that had been entirely overlooked by members of the group in this section got busy, the store room on this corner was renovated, nugly painted—bright red, green and other attractive colors—hats galore filled the windows, a little announcement advertisement appeared in the local race papers. "That's all I need," says the Jew, "we don't have to advertise in Negro papers, to get Negro trade, just grin at them and they are yours for keeps."
THE REMEDY—Are there not an hundred women in the race who a hundred dollars a piece who are red-blooded enough to protect our women in interest in this field of hat making?—

RAILROAD CLATTER

SHASTA LIMITED LEAVES TRACK
Running an hour and five minutes late, the Shasta Limited, crack train of the Southern Pacific lines was wrecked at Zamora, twelve miles north of Woodland last week. One passenger was seriously injured and dozen suffered bruises and contusions from the severe shaking they received as seven steel coaches went over on their sides. The breaking of six feet of steel rail was believed to have caused the accident local Southern Pacific officials declared after receiving reports or preliminary investigations. Six feet of the ball or top of the rail, were reported ripped away from the base of one track. The fact that the engine and one baggage car had passed over the track without mishap gave rise to reports that the train was traveling at unusual speed. This makes the second wreck within two weeks on the Southern Pacific lines; the first one was that of the West Coast Limited, and was mentioned in this column last week. Both trains operate to Portland and Seattle. The West Coast out of Los Angeles. The West Coast out of San Francisco. The two wrecks come one after another brings to mind that on August 29th two separate wrecks occurred on the Pennsylvania. The Broadway Limited, Chicago to New York De Luxe train was wrecked just east of Gallitzin tunnel, 12 miles east of Altoona, Pa., and shortly thereafter the Westbound Broadway Limited was wrecked at Wilmore, Pa. In these wrecks two enginemen were killed and a score or persons injured. The traveling public are beginning to wonder, where if, any, place will they be safe. If they go by air they are subject to fall and get killed; if they go by train it might happen in the East as well as the West; if they go by auto they are subject to going over some ravine; if they walk they are ill able to get run over. So many have come to the conclusion that the safest way is to stay at home and even there, if they live in Illinois, they are in fear of a cyclone, if they live in the West, they are afraid or an earth quake and if they live down south the great flood disaster is kept constantly before their minds. It apparently seems to be merely a matter of which way you want to die. SAFETY FIRST men, PLEASE COPY.
FIGHT SPECIALS KEEP PORTERS GUESSING
The Fight Special itinerary continues to be a mystery as far as an officer are concerned. Many have given their names in for the choice bit of travel but so far as having a bonified guarantee that they are going is a horse of another color. If all of the porpoys I have heard say are going on these fight special, Mr. Ross better close up the Los Angeles district until after the fight, because he won't have porters enough to run it. The writer thinks that there will be a many disappointed porter on the 18th when the specials start their race to Chicago. Somebody's got to keep house, and the worst of it is that mysterious Mr. Ross will not divulge who that somebody is.
JACK WORTHEN LOSES COUSIN
Jack Worthen operating on the San Diego line has been off for the past week on account of the death of a cousin, who died while being taken to a hospital for an operation.
SPECIAL TRAIN CRACKS RECORD
RACING DEATH
In an effort to reach the bedside of Col. J. M. Daniels, who is dying in Atlantic City, N. J., his wife chartered a special train which arrived at the shore resort in record time. Pennsylvania railroad officials announced that the locomotive, Pullman, Chair car and day coach, which cost Mrs. Daniels $60, clipped 12 minutes off of the fastest running time ever made from New York City to the Atlantic Coast.
BOYS WILL BE BOYS.
The writer was driving by Ringling Bros. Circus the other night when he noticed a trail of peanut shells on Washington Blvd. Being curious to know how far and long the trail of goo goo peas would go, he followed them with an eagle eye. On and on they went, until finally they led him right up to his friend King's door. Mr. King is now the headman on the San Diego tourist car, that is, since Mr. L. High vacated the throne for the Fresno line, so naturally there was no other conclusion to come to but that Mr. King went to see the White elephant, and while therein feasted on goo goo peas until he arived home sometime during the night. But then, boys will be boys.
KING HIGH MAY TAKE BACK
TOURIST CAR THRONE
In the mighty struggle for existence the vast territory which the former tourist car King, L. High, took in a hard fought battle of bidding namely, the Pruno line, in being threatened solely by the enemy. In the last mile night fight F. A. Neal was bummed, which greatly weakened King. I. High's force. It is thought that the surrender came powerful migh tottaring King High from the Pruno throne. The blood thirsty battle cry of—it would be long now! is constantly arising in King High's ears and as it is in public meeting that time of the day when all former Kingdom shall exist in front a plush barnhouse, but King High are fondly come, the fine woodwork, the waterwheel, the waterwheel. King High are a blood thirsty

UNION PACIFIC GOSSIP
Death Valley tours via Union Pacific Railway and Tonapah and Tidewater Railway will again be inaugurated beginning November 15th. This is a wonderful trip and I will tell you more about same in a later issue. Travel via Union Pacific Ry. has been heavier East bound this summer than last summer. Therq were a great many movie picture corporations that shot scenes in Zion National Park and in the vicinity of Cedar City. Travel to Zion National Park by the Union Pacific has been 20% better than last summer. The installation of the new block system between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles at a cost of $70,000.00 has added much to the service of this road.

E. Hargrove of Diner 308 has severed his connection with the system to accept a position as instructor of mathematics in the High School of Fort Worth, Texas. The Gossip and his friends wish for him much success in his new undertaking.

Sleeping Car Porters To Receive Assistance
COMMITTEE OF PROMINENT CITIZENS TO ASSIST BROTHERHOOD OF SLEEPING CAR PORTERS
A committee of one hundred of Los Angeles' most prominent men and women are to assist the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in their movement to secure a living wage from the Pullman Company, which will permit them to support their families without depending upon tips. Some of the most wealthy and most prominent families in Southern California will be members of this committee, and their influence will be exerted in the Pullman Porters behalf.
This movement of the men for a living wage has met with strong support all over the United States. The Pullman Porter, by his unfailing courtesy and willingness to serve, sold himself to the public and everyone who rides the Railroad in Pullman care, has had the opportunity to observe the hard work and long hours which the Pullman Porters are on against Many a passenger will sacrifice something else to tip the Porter, for he knows that the man is not paid a living wage and must depend on tips for food and clothing. The obvious injustice of these arrangements is evident to the public and when certain workers are housed in Pullman's hotel of Illinois Can Pullman is a great deal of public service. But the public does not accept him as well from the financial climate.

Ocean Park's Great Kiddies' Floral Pageant Sunday, Sept. 25th
SEASON'S MOST BRILLIANT EVENT TO BE MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN EVER
Ocean Park's eighth annual Kiddies' Floral Parade will be held on Sunday, September 25th.
The one great event that grows more beautiful and popular every year will, this season, eclipse air previous pgeants. More than one thousand children are expected to participate this year and with a prize fund of $1,000, the costumes, floats and presentations will be greater than ever. As usual the pageant and prizes will be divided into classes with special awards in the following classifications: Decorated Floats, Decorated Baby Buggies, Prettiest Costumed Clothes Prettiest Doll Buggy. Best Decorated Kiddies' Auto, Best Decorated Kiddies' Won, Prettiest Twins, Prettiest Trips, Best Decorated Fashion Plates, Best Decorated Bicycle, Best Decorated Kiddies' Car, Prettiest Kiddies' Car and the Finest Civic and Commercial entry.
The Kiddies' Floral Parade is one of the most beautiful spectacles presented any palce in the world and in past years it has rivaled the Pasadena Tournament of Roses for number of entries and the beauty and originality of costumes and floats. The many thousands who have witnessed the event in the past are enthusiastic in the commendation. Hundreds of tots, ranging from one year to twelve are entered in the parade. Colorful costumed and mounted on all conceivable kinds of vehicles from baby buggies to trolleys and miniatures they pass down the front Promenade from Fraser avenue to Rose. Passing the reviewing stand in front of the Municipal Auditorium, they are judged and noted for prizes.
As usual the parade will be headed by the famous Santa Monica Municipal Pal Band and there will be several other bands, including the Santa Monica Bay Boy Scouts Band, in the line of march. Prominent public officials as well as the best known club women of the Bay district will act as judges.
The parade this year, as usual, will be under the complete management and direction of Mrs. Earl Fraser. Starting with an entry list of ninety children eight years ago, Mrs. Fraser has worked tirelessly, to make the Kildies' Parade the gorgeous spectacle it is. Each year has seen the event grow in public esteem, so that now it is booked upon as the one great event of the season. Mrs. Fraser has established headquarters in the Ocean Park Plunge, where she is receiving entries and attending to the thousand and one details of the parade. This year she will be assisted by Miss Helen Lamb. Already over 100 entries have been received. Invitations have been mailed to hundreds of children in every part of the state and the number entering is expected to be greater than ever.
Ocean Park is proud of its annual Kiddies' Floral Parade. The Ocean Park Business Men's Association which is co-operating in the promotion or the parade, take a great deal of pleasure in offering this beautiful festival to Southern California. It extends a most cordial invitation to every one to witness its great pageant. The parade starts at 1:30 p.m. m. Sunday, September 25th, and if you wish a day of wonderful enjoyment either motor or take a Pacific Electric train to Ocean Park, where the Kiddies Parade offers you a colorful and brilliant pageant.

The announcement this week that the Walter L. Gordon Realty Company of 3617 Central Avenue of which Mr. Walter L. Gordon is president and his talented and esteemable wife, Mrs. Vertner L. Gordon is secretary, will move into the company's own new building now being built at 4005, 4007 and 4009 Central Avenue about September 26th, is indeed very pleasing to the many friends and clients of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon as well as those of other members of this week's annual fundraiser, a formal composed of C. Eugene Houston, manager of sales; Albert J. Bass, manager of rentals; William Melis Watson, advertising manager; Charles L. Eason, Carry J. Smith; George H. Duncan, Carl D. Towns, J. B. Bowman and Paul Goodall.
Nearly four years ago, October 9, 1923, Mr. Gordon laid aside. Uncle Sam's mail bag and entered the reality field as a junior partner or the Climax Realty Co., then at 2517 Central Ave. With earnest effort, fair and square dealing so well did he progress that in 1925 he founded the Walter L. Goddon Company and will, on October 9, 1927, celebrate the fourth anniversary of his business career in the company's own building, 4007 Central Ave.
This firm's splendid new building is now under course of construction and marks a forward step in the race's business vision and progress on the East side. With "TRUTH, HONESTY and SERVICE" as its watchword, so rapid has been the growth of the Walter L. Gordon Company and its volume of business that it has entirely outgrown its present quarters and was forced to secure larger office space and rather than to "Pay the Rent to The

Mrs. Parks said that Sheldon aided in quitting Jenkins, who remarked that he was "lawfully nervous." According to Mrs. Parks, the man asked him into bed, when he suddenly leaped and plunged over the window sill.
The landlady said that she was able to grab only his necktie which slipped from his collar as he struggled, permitting Jenkins to fall to the cement yard below.
Jenkins was removed to the Harlem Hospital, where it was discovered he was suffering from a fractured skull. Little hope is held for his recovery.
Young Author To Travel To Foreign Countries
Emmett Moses Sims, 21 year old author of Riverside, California, is going abroad to get new and more complete material for his book and to place it before foreign authorities.
His travels will include Mexico, South America, Europe, Asia, Panama, Costa Rica, England and India. He will visit the National University at Mexico, University of Paris, Oxford University and St. George's College and have interviews with Pres. Henri Fairfield Osborn of the American Museum of Natural History and our own Dr. W. E. B. DuBois.
The title of his book is "The History of Creation" and includes from the time the burning globe thundered through time and space with an unmeasurable speed up until Colonel Chas. Lindberg, the lanky peace-time ace, flew from New York to Paris and deals with the organic forms of life from protozoa to homo.
We are glad to see our youth so interested and working towards the worthwhile things of life and think Mr. Sims should be encouraged in this splendid effort.

Walls were among those who gathered at the dedication exercises and joked in with college presidents and kustess and professional men in singing the praises of Bishop Jones and the success of his project.
Bishop W. J. Walls run from various points including New Orleans, Mobile, and Montgomery, and hundreds of people, were here to take part in the exercises and to take a 'dip in the Gulf'. The beauty of the place, the modern facilities and the up-to-dateness of the institution came in for much praise.
WILLIAMS LEADS BAPTISTS
AGAIN
(Continued iron: page 1)
learned, means seeing to it that he disposes of the little favors he has to offer in an equitable manner. Each state delegation, as a rule, comes to the convention hoping to get something, and it barters its support for this objective.
Williams' annual message proved to be a highly statesmanlike paper. It considered practically every phase of Baptist endeavor and was filled with sound recommendations which the convention adopted.
Some of his recommendations concerned the convention and Baptists particularly and others were of interests to the entire race. Among those of interest to Baptists was one emphasizing the necessity of having the auditor of the convention audit the books of the various boards and departments. It was plainly stated that this central auditing authority was necessary to impress the boards that they were subordinate parts of the convention and made an exhaustive report concerning his work. In the last three years he has saved thousands of dollars for the convention through the installation of proper bookkeeping systems and the elimination of waste.
It was revealed that Negro Baptists have been accorded equal recognition with white Baptists when Dr. Williams called upon the convention to fulfill its pledge, amounting to about two thousand dollars, to the Baptist World Alliance which meets in Toronto, Canada, in June of next year. This is exerted by the Negro Baptists of all colors and races in history, and the Negro Baptist Convention of America will be the largest single group represented.
Prior to the president's address, Dr. Roscoe C. Giles of Chicago presented a request from the National Medical Association to the effect that the Baptist Convention appoint a committee to meet with a committee from the medical association to plan ways and means of building a large hospital for Negroes in the South, and one in the North. Dr. Giles impressively stressed the Negro's health needs and the urgency or providing training schools for young physicians. All his recommendations were concurred in by the convention and the question of health was further discussed in the president's message in an appeal that Baptists unite for the building of a tubercular sample. Baptists seem to be recognizing the need for a trained ministry. No other part of Dr. Williams' address received the applause accorded his plea for education and the means of education. He denied that the minister of today can get along without training, and emphasised the urgency of providing support for the denominational schools.
An interesting and involved situation, has devolved in respect to the Training School for Women and Girls in Washington, D. C., or which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is president. The leaders of the convention claim that the school was founded under the auspices of the women's auxiliary to the convention, and that, after Miss Burroughs was made president, the convention rended support to the school. Since that time the institution has been incorporated under an independent board of trustees who refuse to accord the convention any voice in the management of the school. Miss Burroughs, who is secretary of the women's auxiliary, refuses to recognize the interest of the convention, and is felt to have been the chief influence
in promoting the present estrangement. The officers of the convention, men and women, feel that they could go to the civil courts and prove they have an abiding, legal interest in the affairs of the school, but it is privately reported that they need to make such a move for that they might be misunderstood and they might be accused of persecuting a woman. They are hopeful that Miss Burroughs will change her mind, but meanwhile she just laughes them off.
One of the most important phases of convention work is the activity of the laymen. The male lusty of the church is being organised by John L. Webb, supreme custodian of the Woodmen of Union, with headquarters at Hot Springs, Ark. Mr. Webb has associated with him many of the Negro's leading business men, who attend the convention and offer their services in promoting the objects of the lawmen. Anthony Overton, president of the Victory Life Insurance Company, and the Douglass National Bank, Chicago, made a very effective speech at Thursday evening's meeting. The laymen are trying to increase preacher's salaries, aid the education of young ministers and put business systems into church management.
Detroit has been hospitable indeed to its religious guests. Wednesday morning the delegates were welcomed by Mayor John W. Smith, and leading white and colored citizens of the city. Bishop W. T. Vernon spoke in behalf of the Methodists.
The convention sessions are being held in the Light Guard Armony, which seats scarcely half the delegates, but is claimed to be the city's largest auditoriums. The women's auxiliary holds its meetings in the Second Baptist Church of which that great Baptist leader, R. L. Bradby, is pastor. Convention sidelights include a boat ride and a trip to Niagara Falls. The local committee has published a daily paper of the convention happenings, cooperating with the Detroit Independent, local weekly. This is the first time such a step has ever been taken. Recognition of the Negro press of the country was made Wednesday afternoon when a motion was passed directing that a copy of the president's address be sent to every colored newspaper in the country.

The progressive idea in business will, almost invariably be appreciated by a discerning public.
Prior to the time that fire 'destroyed the old frame building which housed their business in the eleven hundred block on East 12th Street, the McCloneys had only considered themselves fairly successful. They, in order to successfully compete with other care owners in the immediate vicinity, and who were much better situated by having more up-to-date shops and equipments, had to resort to a more systematized effort to serve a better cooked meal, and to offer higher quality service, at reasonable prices. All these things they managed to do.
Thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Elmora McCloney, whose genius in managing and supervising the kitchen output was a piece of art in restaurant economy, and service. She made a multitude of friends. Many hoped she would get a more attractive place.
The new building which has replaced the old ramble shack, is indeed a credit to the colored business district. The store that houses the restaurant at 1173 E. 12th St., is second to none on East 12th Street. There is plenty of room for the lunch counter, tables and booths. The walls are immaculates; the ceiling high, which gives assurance that the atmosphere will not be dense with kitchen odor. The kitchen like the dining room is large and spacious. The plumbing is a dining room and kitchen is the latest word i modern use. It is open night and day. The employment list is large. A total of nine girls being employed to give service i n the dining room.
Among the large number of handsome bouquets of beautiful flowers that fairly swamped the place, was one from Mr. William Robinson, proprietor of the Entertainment Cafe. Their respective restaurants are directly opposite the other. Mr. Robinson said in paying their respects: "To a most worthy competitor, my regardd." Can you beat it, rather unique, what? Nevertheless a most commandable feature to colored business people.

Pioneer Citizen of Californias Crosses the Great Divide
James H. Griffin, one of the pioneer citizens of California, who has been conducting a prosperous business in San Diego for the past 20 years, passed away in that city on September 14th, after a brief illness. He was well known as well as picturesque character whom everybody held in the highest esteem. "Griff", as he was familiarly and lovingly called, numbered his friends in the thousands. He was the friend of everyone. He was one of a most highly respected family most of whom live in San Diego. He lived before going to San Diego. He leaves to mourn his passing two sons, a daughter, a host of relatives, and a legion forlends. His body will be brought to Pasadena on next Monday the 19th and funeral services will be held from the Friendship Baptist Church at 2 P. M. of that day. Funeral Directors of Connor & Johnson in charge.

New York, N. Y., Sept. 15—John Matthews, widely known in Harlem real estate circles, failed in business last week and fed the city to escape the debts and alleged embezzlements proclaimed. It was said at his former office, 646 Lenox Avenue, that his whereabouts are unknown. Information from his friends denied the failure, but from other sources, it is said that his total losses are more than $50,000 for the past two years.
Mr. Matthews was known to have invested $30,000 in cash in the business, and asked that this is reported gone. Restitution from quarters of the most serious obligations has been made partially, it is said, in the last few days.

Here we also met the hustling and genial Col. Wm. McLemore who was one of the cogs of the works which landed the Hon. S. M. Shortridge in the Senate for his second term. We look upon Mr. McLemore as a live wire and very energetic worker for all things. We looked upon the Hon. Alexander McCabe who treated us courteously and discussed with him things in general, he informed us that while he was stricly a private citizen that anything he could do he was at our service. At this moment he was in office with the Governor of the office to make appointment to the offices the Oakland N. A. A. C. P. for a conference with Governor Young. Following this we visited the office of Sheriff Thomas H. Finn, one of the squareset and fearest officials which we have ever met, a man who believes in men and who will go out of his way to do a favor. We have Sheriff Born forget times toward our group and the many favors which he has rendered to them during his official career.
At the close of just another day we journeyed back to Oakland and accepted the standing invitation of our good friend Dr. O. W. DeVaughn his guest and at his home did we park during our stay at Oakland City, a modern and beautiful home near Berkeley and under the guidance of his devoted helpmate, it is a home to be envel, we are under many obligations to Dr. and Mrs. DeVaughn who spared no effort to make our sojourn a pleasant one. We also not many of Oakland's leading and progressive citizen among whom were Dr. Purnell, Walter Butler, Major W. H. Loving, E. B. Gray, Wm. Bridges, J. H. C. W. Wallace, Father Wallace, Attorney Drake, Chas. Jamison, Dewitt Moss, Madame Jones, the prima donna and others too numerous to mention.
We visited the plant of the Western American which is owned by Mr. Devitt Woss, formerly a linotype operator for the "Soaring Eagle" and noted tablelaked and is publishing a newspaper which is indeed a high credit to the fourth estate. It being press day it made us think of home and press day around the Eagle shop. Mr. Moss and his very estimable wife and hap is indeed a distinct asset to the city of Oakland. On Sunday we worshipped at the historic 15th St. A. M. E. Church in company with Dr. and Mrs. DeVaughn. We enjoyed very much the masterly who is serving his fifth consecutive year at this point. On Monday which was Labor Day, we visited the very splendid Elk Rest and joined in the feast which the anteried herd and provided for the population to the Teenage Tournament and watched the championship contests.

N. A. A. G. P. PULLE BIG DRIVE
On Tuesday evening we attended the closing of the big membership drive of the National Association of Teachers of the Civic Auditorium. It was featured by a song recital by a real artist, Mme. Hughes, who endured herself in song to the vast concourses of people who turned out for the occasion. She was superb in song and was encored time to the meeting was a brilliant success.
On Wednesday on invitation from the members of the Oakland Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. we formed a part of the committee which waited on Gov. Joseph O'Connor of ommunication in June, sonata by Mr. Glass to the Oklahoma authorities on the ground that if granted he would not receive a trial but would be mobbed and lynched. The governor received the committee very cordially and told us that if such conditions were true it was intolerable and set forth a policy assuring us of every consideration.
We journeyed back to Oakland spent Thursday on routine business. On Thursday evening we again bad the pleasure of hearing one of Oakland's B Jones in recital at the M. E. Church in Berkeley and allow us to say that she indeed is a wonder. She presented a most elaborate program and proved herself as second to none as a singer had everything on this occasion that a singer is supposed to have—voice stage appearance and costume—which would do credit to any time or place. We suggested to her manager with whom she met, that she should not fall in presenting her to a Los Angeles audience.
Our next visit was to the State Fair which was in full sway. We found highly creditable exhibits from all sections of the state—agriculture, horticulture, mining, live stock and manufactures—they were illuminating and inspiring. It was a real old time and worth while State Fair. We met many of the leading citizens, Taylor Walker, Robert Pankey, the old war horse, Hon. Jake Soreas, J. W. Mills, premier real estate dealer, his partner S. N. Crawford, Dr. W. E. Richardson, for merely of this city, our former correspondent Mrs. J. W. Scott and many others.
Our time for being away from home by this time and jury before us, we boarded the flyer at five-thirty Saturday, arriving home Sunday at 9:30 A. M.

COMMENTS
BY: W. J. WHEATON
All who toil for their daily wage should read and take inspiration from the address delivered on Labor Day by U. S. Senator Hiram Johnson at San Diego, who was flogical, pregnant with truth, and wise in his labor which is practicable. Time has not lessened the interest of the Senator for the Toller, nor has he lost any of the high ideals which enabled him to pass to cope with "predatory interest in the nature" of the maturity of Labor, and cites it as the "backbone of the nation." Honest toil should be rewarded by an honest wage. The solidarity of labor has raised the standard of living and raised it from the uninherent to an honorable and dignified position.
How many Californians know their State? The State Fair or Exposition of the State's resources was a revelation to inter-state visitors. They merrimented products; minerals, precious metals and gems. The diversity of fruits, of grain and food staples, scarcely anything for human consumption, grown on the face of the earth, that was not exhibited. Fine stock of pedigree, of the finest wines, to the total wealth of gold, silver copper, and the minerals used in the industries. But great was that exhibition which showed the wonderful facilities of California's educational system: vocational work of students, kindergarten, the most finished artisan, yielded with the literature and works of art. In the educational exhibit one could follow the creative war kof students from the kindergarten on through the elementary schools, high and university Marvelous!" was the exclamation heard by all.

What comprises leadership? We often think that one of the drag-cahams of racial progress, is that mooted question of leadership. "He wants to be a leader," is always asserted when any one has the temerity to step out of the ranks of the blacksmith and forthwith every blacksmith shop and hardware establishment is raided for hammers. There was a very recent exposition of this temperament; the liberty, possibly the life of an individual was at stake. There was a representative, a representative citizen who planned undoer the State's chief executive. The name or a man who is not "representative," but has the knack of getting in touch with executives, was suggested. It was like flaunting a red flag in the face of a "cow," but if the man is in the office, he doesn't be-through the influence of the non-representative citizen, and, he doesn't essays to leadership.
We hope that the Negro in the United States will always have something to strive for; to fight for. Extreme happiness is ruinous to accomplishment. Stagnation, which is but one degree removed from decay, is the inable force to overcome obstacles-requires energy. It is the concern of the abrogation of our rights as citizens which has helped the forward trend. Attempt to bar the race from industry has awakened the spirit which is fighting to gain a better economic environment. We overcome the barrier of education, racial ostracism, mob violence and racial hatred we hope for other mountains to climb, other obstacles to surmount, so that the spirit to do will never die. It is only by strife that an objective can be gained, a thing accomplished. A common danger is the threat of a thirst for co-ordination of effort. Remember, that a satisfied cat slumbers while the rats destroy. Eternal alertness is essential to our racial life.
There are two things that should be encouraged by the Race—AVIATION, which is a factor in world progress, which is NICIFIC FARMING, which is the foundation of national wealth Pioneers in the field of science few. While our youth have shown no lack or courage in the facing of ordeals. Such as is exhibited in battle, looking with serenity in the face of death, they seem to show timidity in exploring etheral heights; But we no longer need to yet develop "plots of the air" daunting. A man of the Race ploneered the way. As is the way of all who pioneer, she paid the cost. Death: But that should be no deterent; it's the price. Then, back to the land: the farm; the men and the women who supply the world's resources; then come he go there with an intelligent worker. How to wrest from "mother earth" her secret of production. It is the farm which will help solve some of the perplexing race questions. It is the cradle of human democracy.

LGS Angeles detective agency representative finds fault with Chicago bond system.
Chicago, Illinois,
September 6th, 1927
The California Fergus.
News item: By H. B. Brady, Gen. Mgr. Marlowe Detective Agency, Los Angeles, Calif.
Study here shows that Chicago ball bond system<sub>m</sub> is all wrong. Failure of the courts to exercise discretion on bail systems may maladministration of criminal justice in a breakdown of bail system in Chicago, according to survey of Prof. Arthur L. Beeley, issued by the University of Chicago press yesterday.
The study was made in co-operation with the Chicago Community Trust, as a co-ordinator Beeley's survey of Cook County Jail.
Large number of accused, but obviously dependable persons, are needlessly permitted to jail, while many others, just as obviously undependable, are granted a conditional release, never returned to stand trial.
MOSTLY NATIVE BOYS
We know that unentested jail population is made up largely of native born unmarried men about two-thirds of these are under 31, and a third to a half under 21.
The assumption that the unentested prisoners are habitual offenders are transients were shown to be a fallacy.
Study of 170 sentenced bail prisoners indicated that sixty-five were imprisoned while awaiting a verdict when modified bail requirements would have secured their presence at trial. Failure of the police to apprehend the more obviously guilty individuals unnecessary arrests, political pressure in getting insecure bail approved for favored individuals, multiplicity of local courts and general overlap in bail blamed by the Professor in his study.

The rise of the American Woodmen as a national Order has been rapid due to the very careful management on the part of its able Supreme Camp officers headed by Supreme Commander Abner and Supreme Clerk L. H. Ligier, who had about three thousand members with assets of less than fifteen hundred dollars. Within the short space of seventeen years the Order has a membership of seventy-five thousand with assets on January 1st, 1927 of over one million, six hundred thousand with assets over a million and a half dollars, has been paid in benefits while six hundred have been loaned to members of the order to lift mortgages on their homes and in making other improvements. The Order employs more than a thousand members or the race and should merit the co-operation of race loving Negroes everywhere for what it is doing to raise the economic status of the race. The dispensation allowing four dollars in fee to the Los Angeles camps makes him have been waiting for this opportunity to become affiliated with the "Giant of Negro Fraternals."

New York, Sept. 15.—In compliance with a request from the officials of Talladega College, William Pickens, field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and contributing editor of the Association Negro Press, has written the words for "new Talladega Song." Sevyn Pickens wrote the words of "Grimm and Blue" when was adopted as the official college song. Recently there has grown a desire for another, and it was but natural that Talladega should turn to its most distinguished and illustrious alumnus for the words. The music will be arranged later.

Everyone is eager to know how the local girls came out in the Annual Pacific Coast Tennis Tournament which was held at Mosswood Park in Oakland. From all remarks heard about the tournament, it was a regular society day and proved to be the most successful of all the tennis tournaments, formerly held on the Pacific Coast.
Our own Juliaette, consistent and flashy player, was the fortunate winner of the beautiful silver cup donated by the Oakland Chamber of Commerce for the Lahies Singles. Miss Harris has bid the title of Women's Single Champion for six years and is the possessor of two other championship trophies.
Residents of Pasadena also have cause to be proud since their favorite Geneva Stocks was also the recipient of a beautiful cup, by winning the Ladies Doubles in which she was crowned. Other players deserving honorable mention were the Mrs. Josephine Brown and Miss Victoria Shorey.

Jack Dempsey Fires
Neil Clisby
And thereby hangs a tale. Here it is. While the great ex-champion was out here this Spring he heard a lot about Nell Clisby's speed and cleverness and the streak he was cutting through the boys on the Coast. So he personally sought an interview with Tom Jones, his champion-maker manager and offered Nell a job as chief sparring partner to prepare him for his battle with Tunney. He expressed the fact that he needed men like that who could not only box but hit. But he made this provision that Nell must remember that he is working out and not fighting. If his work was O. K. he would get something like $4000 and a spot on the big card. Yet when time came to leave he left without Clisby, and did not send back for him. A few days before leaving although Jones had promised Dempsey that Nell would obey orders and not try to kayeve Dempsey in the workouts, not seeming satisfied he also asked Bob Cronin about Clisby. "Bay, that boy is a 'fighter'; fast as lighting and hits like a George mule's kick," answered Bob. Did Cronin's answer spill the beans? At any rate Clisby was technically "bred" forthwith and did not get his great change. Nevertheless he will be leaving soon to invade the East with Tom Jones and co-manager, Mr. Dempsey.

While browsing along Broadway recently the writer happened to meet one of the oracles of the boxing game, E. W. Dickerson, of Grand Rapids, Mich. Not that "DICK" as he is known in sporting circles, is not a national figure in other lines, having been President of baseball leagues, organizer of them and a referee of world renown. Dick's Dope has become an institution in many, parts of the country and he has been associated with boxing since the palmy days.
During the course of our conversation, while dwelling on the glories and past achievements of that never to be forgotten trio that his native state produced, all of which won world titles. Kid Lavinge, Stanley Ketchell and Ad. Wolkast, he said—
"I may be partial to my own state, but the accomplishment of fights past and present, fall to convince me that they have ever in any state turned out three champions, as this famous trio. I have been in all parts of the country during my many years connection with the boxing game, in the old West when it was the cradle of pugilism, both in the capacity of sport writer, referee and spectator but there is a youngster up at Fremont, Mich., who I do not hesitate to say, is the greatest looking fighter I have ever seen. His name is EMMETT CURTICE and while he has only had a few more than a dozen fights professionally, I look for him to surpass Stanley Ketchell."

RED HOGAN picks these winners for the Saturday bouts: Midget Smith, Richie Aguayo, Ham Jenkins, Dick Chang, Lagero and Johnnie Cruz—likely to draw.
"CHANG" fiter whom the famous play was named is a Chinese boxer from Hawaii. He was champion of the Hawaiian Islands and managed by Jerry Parker. His start this week will probably put him in the local line-light.
"OLD POLKS" Williamamere has the only Chinese boxer, Harry Lee, that was born and raised in China. He has been boxing around Portland and has a nice line of victories to his credit.
Baby Joe Gans, his trainer and co-manager, Cherokee Tom Scott, and a couple of Scott, other fighters, will journey by motor to Denver and several other Western and Eastern cities in the near future.

A black boy who could not speak as word of English came from his native home, Havana, Cuba, to anne another title to the two he already holds. This is Joe Diaz, featherweight champion of Cuba and all over the republic of Old Mexico. Diaz knocked out Astudillo in a pair of sessions, thereby anexing his title of champion of South America. At Morrie Copan's Pasadena arena where the bout was hold a surprise and wonder was thrown into the fans he the lightning like speed or the boy from the tight little ile. Morrie had been trying to get the boy here for two years but a delay in receiving passports is all that has kept him out of the U. S. fight horizon. But while waiting he has been very busy.
Many of his fights have been in the historic bull-ring at Nogales, Sonora which is owned by his manager Dan Cole, promoter of the Jack Johnson-Pat Lester fight. Fernando Contreras, Carlos Garcia, Young Nino and many others whom he beat through Mexico from Nogales down to Tampico. Two fights with Nino champion lightweight of Arizona relieved Nino of his honor. O'Leary, Frank Ray Franklin Rome, Tarzan Joe Cooper, Kirk Doyle, and another unscrimmed to the lightning-like blows of the 120 pound Cuban Tornado. After kayoeng Astudilla, he was then thrown in with the tough Kramer, one of the best boys in the country. This ended in a draw only because Diazo hurt his firing hand. Thursday, Sept. 14th finds him pitched against another dangerous fighter. Joe Pimentel. The card follows:
Jose Diez vs Joe Fimenthal, main event, ten rounds; Ham Jenkins vs. Manual Vasquez, semi-windup, six rounds; Ruby Schlocker vs. Young Larry, four rounds; Henry Walker vs. Al Hamilton, four rounds; Art Rupp vs. Bert Samson, four rounds.

JUST a little over a year ago your truly began writing this section, with this column as a Sports Editorial. As will all Upper-Cuts, my remarks sometimes landed solidly, sometimes glanced off and other times missed entirely.
For these remarks I have been stared, and criticized, cussed and discussed at times when my line of chatter did or did not suit the judgment of our gentle readers. But my alm alm through has been to carry out the policy that the Soaring Eagle follows in its departments, i.e. to tell the news as is: to foster clean Sports of all sorts, and to encourage and defend the Negro athlete when worthy. When he is not to slam him on his beak and wake him up so he will get busy and be a credit to his race. So I often wonder how much good we have done towards helping the betterment of Sports. And if at some time in the near or distant future through auto speeding, plane crash, rival's bulle, the flu, or promotion to the White House at Washington, I should be more be part of the California scenery, would yours truly be missed? I wonder.

This will take place late in October as all that is necessary is to get Dundee and his manager's name on the dotted line.

About 9 o'clock I and my boy were sitting in my house at the back, at the rear, about 9 o'clock, and I was reading a doctor book, telling him how to eat and be healthy, and so he sat there a little while and he said, "Mamma, I believe I will go to bed—no," he said, "I will go to church." He said, "Have you went to church today, Mamma?" She said, "Yes, and several of them joined." He said, "When I go again I am going to join myself." So he said to her, "I believe I will go to bed. That is the best place for me. I have got to do a hard day's work tomorrow and I will go to bed," so he gets up and washes his little baby's face and puts his night clothes on and put him into bed and kisses him good night, and then went on in with his wife in the front room, and he was going to bed about. I suppose, four or five minutes, maybe ten minutes; I don't know just exactly, and after he was gone off I sat for a little while and I pulled off one of my shoes and I was fixing to go to bed. I had off one shoe and my wife was talking about going to bed, too. So he called me. He said, "Daddy, Daddy, there is something going on wrong in sister's house. Somebody is killing sister or murdering her or something," and I jumped up with my shoe off and went to the door and I did hear a rumbling. He is about deaf in one ear and he has been deaf in one ear long before he was married. It must have been an awful rustling for him to hear it, because he can't hear in one ear.

Q. Where was your wife?
A. My wife was down the driveway, back toward my house.
A. Q. How near was she to the house?

Q. How far was she from your
house?
A. I don't know, but when the shooting started she was close enough to hear me tell her that they had killed my child.
Q. When you told her that your boy was killed, what did you do?
A. I ran to the front door and stuck my head in the door.
Q. Do you mean the front door of the living room?
A. Yes, the front door, and the bullet came after me. Where the bullet went I can't say. I saw a man dressed in light clothes, a great big stomached man. He was the man that threw the bullet at me.
Q. Where was he standing?
A. Right at the kitchen door.

A. Lying right where he fell when he was killed.
Q. What room was that?
A. That was in the ward room.
Q. Was that a bed room?
A. A bed room.
Q. The west bedroom. How far was he from the door?
A He wasn't any distance from the door at all.
Q. That is downtown. What direct?
A. The air.
Q. Was he dead?
A. No sir, I didn't have a sign of a weapon, didn't have nothing, no kind of a weapon. I wasn't going for no trouble.
Mr. Denalson: Does your daughter sell liquor at that house?
A. She never did. That is something I didn't allow them to do, to violate the law, and I know she never sold any liquor in that house. I try to live a citizen everywhere I go, and I try to raise them to do the same thing. That boy of mine, he didn't do anything to anybody.
Q. Have you seen the officer that fired at you?
A. I haven't seen him since that night. I haven't seen either one nor more than—
Q. Did you see the officer at the Coroner's Inquistion that fired the shot?
A. I seen the one that had on the same light clothes at the Coroner's office.
Q. Did you recognize that officer as Officer Sheffield?
A. That is the one that done the firing.
Q. You hadn't offered to shoot him, had you?
A. I hadn't offered to do him a bit of harm.
Q. Did he have any provocation to shoot at you when you came in the front door?
A. Not a bit. He claims he shot at me three times, but I claim he shot at me once.
Q. Once was enough?
A. He claims he shot at me three times.
Q. He didn't claim that to you did he?
A. No sir.
Q. You must not tell what somebody else told you. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this. Have you told us all you know about it?
A. Yes, I have told you all I know about it.
A. Juror: Mr. Dennison, there is one thing, he stated that the first time they went to the front door of the living room they could not open it.
A. Yes sir.
Q. The next time it was unlocked?
A. It was opened after the shooting took place. There was several shots made and I didn't pay any attention to them because I thought it was my time next.
Q. By Mr. Dennison: After you jumped out of the window, did you hear any shooting?
A. Why, certainly, they are shooting after I jumped out of the window.
Q. I have a plan here. This is the front porch; this is the west bedroom; this is the door that opens—this door opens in the bed room, does it?
Yes sit?
Q. Was there a bed along in front of that window?
A. Yes sir, right along in front of that window, but the way you got that drawed, I could show you better than the way that is drawed.
Q. When you went in the window—
A. I crawled over the bed.
Q. You had to crawl over the bed?
A. Yes.
Q. When you crawled over the bed where did your boy go.
- A. Just peeped around here and I was standing right beside of him and the bullet struck him right there and he fell and I jumped. That is just the way it happened. He didn't have a sign of a gun, nor I either, and wasn't expecting any trouble and didn't know there was any officers about the place, and if we had known there was any officers around there we would not have been any trouble to them. I wanted to get the officers, that is what I wanted, to find out what was going on at my place.
Q. All that you testified to took place in the County of Los Angeles.
A. Yes.
Q. You don't know who was in the house when you got there?
A. No. I rang the officers.
Q. No. I mean the officers that shot your room.
A. No.
A. Juror: :Whom else did you see in the house besides the officers?
A. After the officers came?
Q. No, while the shooting was going on. When you poked your heard in over the plano?

brought back to us again I n the Jade
Library, a series bearing Knof's imprint,
imprint, beautiful from the standpoint of
the printer's art, and in such distinguishing
company as Theophile Gaulet's "Romance in Spain" and the "Letters of Abelard and Meloise."
That the "Autobiography of An Ex-Colored Man" is puta action, is quite evident to us now as we read the name on the title pages and the two prefaces. Mr. Johnson has played with the ideas of a colored man at times "passing", again a Negro in a Negro world. He resides the child living in a small town of the North, the south, expecting to enter Atlanta University, but, robbed of all his money, turning to self-support at Jacksonville as a clear maker, and finally the New York and on the Continent. But while the story is a story, and not a life history, the ideas in it, the discussion of the race problems, the evaluation of white and black, the dissertation on raq-time, and colored music in general, are the author's own, and it is this phase of the book, I suspect, that has lead to its reprinting.
I however, should be the last person to say this for I was so engrossed in the story, when I first got hold of the volume, as to lose an important business meeting and ten cents in car fares! I began it on a subway train on my way to Brooklyn. I had to change at Bowling Green from a South Ferry to a Brooklyn train. My car was slow in coming and as I waited I went on with the "Autobiography". A train drew up, I forgot to look at the sign, boarded it, continued reading, and found myself at South Ferry! I laughed at the mistake, walked back, paid a second nickel and again waited for the train. The book was in my hand. I could not refrain from peeping in it once more, and at once my absorption was deep. I boarded it, again, absentmindedly, and again was dropped at South Ferry. When I returned to wait on the platform the third time, the "Autobiography was closed and I was wondering whether the guards who looked at me curiously would think me a detective or only a lunatic. There is something very, engrossing about the easy flowing narrative, written I the first person. One must read on to see what the hero will do when one turns the page. It is really far more entertaining than a highly wrought mystery tale.
When the book first appeared I remember there was a criticism of the portrayal of the Negro as at times leading a naughty life: The hero of the "Autobiography" was for some years a gambler and a frequenter of dance halls. He should instead have been always virtuous a pattern for the white reader. We hear the same criticism to-day, but with less certainty. The realization should be that a work of art and not a Sunday School treatise is growing with colored readers. Propoganda, if it is to appear at all, must be subtle. But while the "Auto biography" depicts the underworld it does it with the regalism of the days before the war, not with the gusto or these bootlegging times.
To be placed in the Jade Library means to be in a series that is likely to continue for may years, a series whose books will remain for a long time in print. We can all be proud that a novel by an American Negro should be chosen for such a rare distinction.
