WOOD LAID TO FINAL REST Last Monday afternoon at the Second Baptist Church, the last words of respect and commendation of a life worthwhile were spoken over the remains of Mrs. Wood. Using the 23rd Psalms as the theme for the funeral eulogy, her present Pastor, Dr. T. L. Griffith and her expasor, Dr. H. D. Prowd, both enumerated the beautiful traits of character of the deceased laying stress on her devotion to her family, but especially her daughter, Velma, whom she not only prayerfully dedicated to God, but likewise to her race as a musician who will be a credit to her group and a lasting monument to the memory of her devoted mother who painstakingly trained her nimble fingers to tickle the key of the piano and out of her own music inspired soul-breath into the life of her daughter a desire to reach the pinnacle of fame as a pianist. Shoots, Captures Desperado Second Time In Years SLAUGHTER GETS HIS MAN To be shot and captured twice in less than a year is the experience of Leon Griffin, known as being a burglar-suspect desparado and general law breaker. But if his expected death comes at the Georgia Street Hospital, where he is lying with a bullet in his abdomen, it will spell finis to a career that has given much concern to the officers patrolling the East Side. Griffin was shot by Officer George Slaughter who had arrested him early Sunday morning on suspicion of burglary. He was also wanted for overpowering a policeman, breaking his arm and escaping. While searching him the man suddenly attacked Slaughter who had arrested him ealy tie in the dark he broke away and ran down an alley. Slaughter followed firing as he ran expecting every minute to be greeted by a fuselide or shots, but Griffin fell wounded and Slaughter captured him. Less than a year ago Griffin had escaped from two other officers and Slaughter, passing, leaped from a car and took up the chase stopping him with a bullet in the leg. Ladies Minstrel, Philharmonie Auditorium. Hey! Hey! May 21-22; everyone will be there. The Florence Cole Talent Recital will close the N. A. A. C. P. "Miss California" Popularity Contest, June 12th, at Philharmonic Auditorium. Read what others say of California's talented daughter: FLORENCE COLE TALBERT Florence Cole Tahert, coloratura soprano, fresh from European trumps, where she won renown as an opera singer in the role of Aida, gave her first American recital since her return, at the John Golden theater, before a large and discriminating audience of music lovers which she easily emptivated. The recital was an artistic success and the singer upheld every tradition of a cultivated and highly developed vocalist. She won her audiences from the moment she appeared and graciously acknowledged the find and enthusiastic ovation that was accorded her. She offered a well balanced and carefully selected program, which gave her every opportunity to appear to the finest advantage as a concert singer. Her voice was marvelous for its purity and tonal qualities and besides being a voice of beautiful, natural quality, it has been most carefully placed and cultivated. Her facial expressions were most pleasing and she was most charming and unaffected in her manner. She graciously shared her program with her audience. "She has greatly profitted by her European contact and is now at the height of a most glorious career. Lydia E. Mason a graduate of the Fisk university conservatory, was the accompanist and as usual brought to her work a sympathy and musical understanding that contributed largely to the success of the recital."—From the Chicago Defender on N.

Carl Diton Here Apr. 27 A PIANIST OF EXCELLENT ABILITY, FINE NATURAL GIFTS AND GOOD MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE Assip Gabrihowitsch, Conductor Detroit Symphony Orchestra:—Los Angeles, the most highly cultured center of the West, is eager to hear Carl Diton. Carl Diton gave an excellent account of himself in a Recital at historic Musical Fund Hall. A feature of his program was a group of Chagrin numbers. He plays with much feeli ng and produces a good tone with MONCADO'S STIRRING ADDRESS ROUSED THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH CONGREGATION The congregation and visitors at the Second Baptist Church were intensely interested recently in listening to a stirring address upon the subject. "Universal Brotherhood," which was delivered by Hilario Camino Moncado, president and founder of the Filipino Federation of America, incorporated, having headquarters in the Stack Building on Fourth street at Broadway in Los Angeles. Mr. Moncado, who is also publisher of the Filipino Nation, a monthly publication, was assisted by the Moncado Band, Filipino musicians who rendered six lively selections that were heartily applauded. After the services the Rev. T. L. Griffith, pastor and prominent members of the congregation cordially shook hands with Mr. Moncado in appreciation of his address and music directed by Prof. Animao. The Filipino Federation of America, Incorporated, which was organized by Mr. Moncado over two years ago, has grown to a membership of over 600 young Filipinos of the United States. The two important planks of the constitution of this organization is the securing of independence of the Philippine islands and the constant battle against all vices. This organization is not antagonistic to any church demination, but works in the interest Editors Off to National Press Meet at Louisville, Kentucky Fred C. Williams of the "Pacific Defender" and J. B. Bass of the "California Eagle," left on Saturday for Louisville, Kentucky, to be present at the opening of the National Negro Press Association and to represent their respective publications during the session. Mr. Williams left over the Santa Fe at 9:30 A. M.; Mr. Bass left a half hour later over the Southern Pacific. They will meet in Kansas City, traveling the rest of the way over the same route into Louisville. The Editor of this paper, Mr. Bass, is the Vice-President of the Association and has ben active in the meetings of the body. He has a prominent place on the program and has been assigned to read a paper—"The Future Newspaper of the Far West." This is Mr. Williams' first visit and demonstrates the fact that he is alert and wide-awake to the utmost, to gain knowledge which will redound for the welfare of his readers, in his going; score another notch in the march for progress of the great Far West. The opening of the convention at Louisville is scheduled to be a notable occasion. The Governor of the great state of Kentucky will deliver the welcoming address while other notables from various sections will respond.

Mr. Moncado knows all about America gaining its independence, also the emancipation of the colored race and firmly believes that the time is ripe for Filipinos to gain their independence Watch Him Climb Watch Him Climb Lloyd Griffith, son or Dr. T.

Griflittle or no noise as to his achievements as a college student both the University of Southern California and Southwestern University, but recently our attention was called to the fact that this young man had made headway on the his achievements as a college student at both the University of Southern California and Southwestern University, but recently our attention was called to the fact that this young man had made headway on the Lloyd Griffith debating teams of both of these historic universities. At his last debate Thursday evening, April 12, at U. S. C., Mr. Griffith will close the first chapter of what we predict a brilliant career. He has had four years of varsity intercollegiate debating, debated for U.S. C. two years; Southwestern university two years, has met every college and university in Southern California, and the leading universities of Oregon, Washington state, Arizona and the other states in the Pacific region, during which time, he lost only two debates. Mr. Griffith will graduate from Southwestern University School of Law in June, 1928. The desire of the California Eagle is to encourage young men of Lloyd Griffith's type for we believe that young Griffith, because of his oratorical ability like Daniel Webster who when he came out of the foothills of New Hampshire, was laughed at because of his poverty, will turn the scorn that is often directed at Black Men into admiration and that he shall make a place not only for himself, but shall demonstrate to the college world that genius knows no color of skin. OPENING OF NEW BETHEL A.M.E. CHURCH The Westside is agog with interest over the official opening of the New Bethel A. M. E. Church, Sunday, April 15th. Biahop H. E. Parks will be speaker at the morning service. Ralph R. King, A. B., B. D., is the present pastor, he is a young man and should be commended upon his excellent work. The general public is invited to help its members make this a truly historical event. ence in harmony with United States government legislation, as the United States has proven itself to be the best friend that the Filipinos have ever had, and will always be remembered with appreciation by Filipinos. Naturally in a work along the lines advocated by this organization, there are some Filipinos of Bolahevistic tendencies who are opposed to his platform of clean living and clean thinking, which he vigorously maintains is a condition that brings the Filipinos closer to independence as one Christian nation, according to the law of like attracts like, will recognize another Christian nation. There are some 65,000 Filipinos in the United States, who, when they follow the moral ethics and educational system that is advocated by Mr. Moncado, will be capable of going back to the Philippine Islands, and running their own country in harmony with the legislation and business methods of the United States government when independence of the Philippines is granted to them. Mr. Moncado, a nationally known Filipino leader, is also author or the most remarkable book of its kind in the world—The Divinity of Woman, or Her Superiority Over Man—which is published by the Filipino Federation of America. La Vada Opens Its Doors To The Public Beautiful La Vada Apartments threw wide its doors Sunday and invited Los Angeles public to come in and see the Eastside's most beautiful apartment. Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Somerville, standing midst a veritable garden of cut flowers and plants, welcomed about five hundred guests during the day. La Vada is not only equipped with beautifully furnished apartments, but also with a beautiful tea garden and dining hall that will henceforth be the scene of Los Angeles' most polite social affairs. On Sunday, the guests were received at the door by Mr. H. A. Howard and shown through the building by Miss Emma Lue Sayers and Miss Harriet Jones. This week, the city is whispering—"How beautiful!" Uniting Forces Among the news bits of national interest that reached us this week was a telegram stating that at a meeting held at Mount Moriah Baptist Church, 11 W. 186th street, New York City, Friday, April 6, 1928, J. S. Givena, pastor, the New York State Baptist Association united with the National Baptist Convention of America. Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Secretary of the Sunday School Congress; Secy. of National Baptist Publishing Board and eminent son of the Late Dr. R. H. Boyd, was the occasion's chief It is said that this action is far reaching in denominational circles and augments the numerical strength of the convention of which the late Rev. R. H. Boyd was the factor, and of which Rev. E. D. Bowles, is present president and G. E. Steward, secretary. Lawyer's Odd Defense (By Associated Negro Press) Toronto, Can, Apr. 10.—Lawyer Joe Rabbuck, defending Morris Laffer, who was charged with purchasing 576 quarts of beer and 19 bottles of strong liquor within three months, was making a fine impression before Judge O'Connell informing his honor that most of the liquor was used at a christening. ON THE WING The editor of the "Soaring Eagle" was slow to get away, and, in fact, came nigh onto not getting away at all, for the good Managing Editor had to call in command all she had ever learned about nursing in order to get the editor fit from a bad cold to go so far as Louisville to attend the National Press Convention. Be that as it may, Saturday found us at the Southern Pacific depot, the Managing Editor brought; the faithful Business Manager, J. E. Prowd, had first started off by a fast trip to the S. P. general offices; at the depot our very good Advertising Manager, R G. Lamar, the Sports Editor, H. Levette placed us aboard the palatial Apache and we were soon on our way to Louisville, to make contact with the publication from all parts of the nation, join hands with them all for the progress and bettering conditions for publishers and readers alike. "THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC" In choosing a road to travel East you cannot bear this great rout and we are advising all of our Eastern bound friends for the conventions and excursionists, to travel the Golden State route and you will receive the last word in service and courtesy combined. This road employs our people in three numbers throughout its entire system greater by far than any other road. It is the only road broad-gauged enough to run its advertisement in our papers and it certainly is the road for us. We again come into contact with the matchless dining service of the great S. P. System. By the way, this particular brand comes under the jurisdiction of our good and wide-awake friend, Percy Buck and we were so pleased to hear the men of the particular crew speak so splendidly and nicely about him. Percy Buck is indeed a high credit to his profession and is an outstanding figure in the advancement of the great Southern Pacific Dining Service and is not only a credit to his race but to the company which he has so faithfully served and the men whom he represents. Anyhow, the crew which we are traveling with right now is the peer of any in the land; they are as follows: Steward. E. J. Thompson; Chef, H. Pecot; 2nd cooks, M. Chicton Davis; 3rd, Lawrence Taryis; 4th, Earl Johnson. Waiters: Samuel D. Forrest; E. J. Williams; Phil Robinson; Joseph Tucker; Edgar Brown; Herman Foote; Clinton Hunter. Club car, in charge of L. J. Norris. The above crew all are loyal to the company and work to please the traveling public. They vie with each other to make traveling a pleasure. Uneventful thus far as we approach El Paso in Texas on our way, no Jim Crow hovers in our path, not on this line. The Golden State, over which the great S. P. takes its patrons East. Mrs. Florence Gantt was painfully injured last Saturday evening, March 31st, when a roadster driven by a girl at the rate of 40 miles an hour, hit the automobile in which she was riding. The accident occurred at 4th and Commonwealth. As a result, Mrs. Gantt suffers cuts on the lip and leg, a bruised back and two teeth being knocked out. Her son, Clifford, who was driving and the only other occupant, escaped without injury. The occupants of the other car, 3 girls and 1 man, were all uninjured. Mrs. Gantt is the wife of Rev. H. B. Gantt. At this writing, she is improving at her home. "Where does this man go to church?" asked Prosecuting Attorney Wallace. "He is a Jew," Lawyer Rabbuck replied. "When did Jews start christening their children?" inquired the Prosecutor. The lawyer's fine expression wilted and the dead silence was broken only when the judge announced that he would reserve his decision. ON EASTER morning as early as 1 A. M., a long line of automobiles wended their way through a cloud of fog to Mt. Rubidoux and among those who visited this mountain peak, made famous because of its sacred mission, were a goodly number of dark-skin folk. Those who live in San Bernardino Los Angeles and other near by counties should not fail to, at some time, witness an Easter service at Mt. Rubidoux, especially should young children have this experience in order that their first impression for good might be made. "TOO MANY LOAFERS on Central Avenue between 9th and 12th streets," was a remark made to me by a gentleman a few days ago, and as he made the remark, there was a certain appeal in the tone of his voice, but the significance of his words did not reach me until after he had gone. There are, I am satisfied, too many idle persons blocking sidewalk traffic Central. We are not sure as to how to account for this, but we believe that it is because there are so many men out of employment. But even this is no excuse for blocking the sidewalk, indulging in loud talk and profanity. There are libraries loaded with good books on every subject tending to interest men in their industrial pursuit or happiness. If you have no employment, find out some one thing that you can do well and do it—soon you shall find that even though there are jobless men about, you will be too busy to complain about other than being rushed to death always. WHILE we have neither sympathy nor respect for Senator Blease who says that Republican leaders are making the "Republican Party stench in the nostrils of every recent citizen," just because as he earlier says, "Hoover, in his pursuit of the Republican nomination has elevated Negro government employees from the basement to themselves, to the regular department where they work and mingle with white employees similarly engaged." Mr. Blease, as is recorded in the L. A. Record of Tuesday, April 10th, says, "The white girls are all wrought up, but they cannot do anything for fear of losing their jobs." This fire-eating Senator, whose time in the U. S. Senate is far spent, should gracefully retire to his own prejudicial oblivion and let the rest of the government world at Washington move on in peace because of his absence. No one is afraid of a dog that barks always, but the noise from his barkings become annoying. IT WOULD be interesting newspaper and magazine reading if some unbiased investigator would reveal to the reading public the number of high class caucasian women who have passed down life's way to the very end of the trail alone because they have been unable to defy tradition and go to; the altar with the black knights of their choice. CHICAGO has had many storms this past winter and fall, but none seemed so desperate as the Political gale that swept over the city this week. IT WOULD not be a bad idea for our Uncle Sam to spend a little more time at home correcting some political and social evils growing rapidly in us and about us. GREAT INTEREST is being evinced, especially by the women, in preparation for the official opening of our New City Hall. WE VISITED the Second Baptist Church last Sunday evening and thoroughly enjoyed the Easter Carta presented by the choir under the direction of our very efficient Madam Marie Overstreet Jackson.

Clisby had two fights with Bob Law. son while on his-trip and took both verdicts. ‘The first battle was a nip and tuck fight going’ ten rounds with Neil having his hand raised. He won iy their second meeting, on a foul in four rounds. Tt was a hard matter to match the hoy, for it seemed as if the Eastern boys had developed the same ides that the Pacific Coast boys have, “a: litle of Clisby as possible” ts thei motto. Little Jimmy Black had eight fights in all and did not drop one decision. _ Most of Black's fights were in Chi. cago. He had two in Kansas City and six in Chicago, Jimmy won’ two of his battles by the K. O. route. Black fought Billy Murphy on the Taylor-Sangor card and came near stealing the show.

PRIMA DONNAS. AND CHORUSES It is Impossible for any vse haman know everything, hence utter. lack of knowledge of stage work, terms, or customs leads spectators at, times to misunderstand the things going on behind the footlights. For_the- intor ‘mation of such few who may wonder why in a theatrical company somo members get the most of the oppor tunities working “down stage” (down stage is’a term meaning. at the front) the intention is not to hide or dixe- gard the chorus. But in all musical ‘comedy companies there are straights, (natural characters) comedians, (the fun-gaking relief) juveniless soubret tes and prima donnas. All these are called: the principals. ‘The chorus on: ly furnishes the background and at mosphere, and the better they ate. the more they can help the work. of the principals. In the Doc Straine Company. Claude Collins, Baby Mack, Baby Lee, Johnny Lee, Albertine -Pick- ‘ens and othere were pringipals; Ser ah Martin, a featured singer and Hel- fen Stokes, the prima donna.

FANS As the sun began to rise bright and fair, heralding thd dawn of Easte:, it found the writer with a group of friends on top of Mt. Rubidoux, view- ing the wondera of the Almighty's Omnipotence. After the services on the mount, which were very effective and impressive, the group journeyed to “Eagle's Nest,” the ranch and coun- try estate of Mr, Thomas Selvy of Riverside, where a portion of the day was spent in playing tennis. The group ended the day in Tia Juana.

Tires wrapped after the customary manner of new tires of standard manufacturers, stamped with the name of the manufacturer and presenting every appearance of a new tire are being sold to motorists, to be stripped of their wrappings only to disclose a weary, worn, old, carcass with a cheap new tread tacked on. According to Miller tire men here, "tire bootlegging" reports are arriving more frequently, recently. REAL ESTATE $300 Down, 5-room mod. of Watts, one block from the blocks from the P.

HUNT 3617 Central Avenue HUmbolt 3230 The usual method of fleeing the gulibble, according to reports reaching the Miller factory here, is to peddle tires from a small closed truck. Prospects are approached on the street and urged to make their purchases in haste. Peddlers claim that their wares are legitimate but that they do not have peddlers' license and must keep a weather eye out on the "cops." Of course, the transaction is always for cash—even if it is only a little cash. In some instances, two alleged standard tires have been sold for less than half the price of one tire.

Bass and Fred Williams, local editors of two healthy weekly papers, stored their autos and left in a Pullman for Louisville, Ky., to attend the Negro Press Association's annual meeting. Last Sunday, the La Vada Apartments were thrown open to the public and hundreds motored out on Vernon avenue to view them. They are rather a departure from the average apartment, house catering to our group. You'll have to see them to appreciate these remarks. Mr. and Mrs. Dick Hawkins were among those we found domiciled in the new quarters. We don't know where they keep the coupe and Nash. Ed. Grubbs and family of Pasadena spent Easter Sunday in L. A. with their Studebaker. Easter Sunday has come and passed and it will long be remembered as a day of days. Naturally the church was the center of attraction. Thousands motored to various places of worship to kneel in prayer or in other ways declare their belief and faith in a supreme being. Surely if attendance is an evidence of belief, then one need have any fear that the world is degenerating into atheism. Eddie Middleton is again in town and doing business at his auto stand. Van Williams, E. R. Baldwin and Carl Hall had their heads together the other night. We think they were planning an auto trip this summer. Wm. Nickerson, plus Golden State Insurance Co., spent a couple days last week surveying outlying new districts. He reports favorable as to the Negroes believing in Negro insurance. Mrs. Geo. Nemo on E. 40th St. treated about 25 little children to an egg rolling and hunting party Easter Sunday afternoon following which they enjoyed a motor ride. * * * * James Garrott and his Davidge and company were a conspicuous figure last Sunday. * * * * J. E. Prowd, of Eagle fame, certainly covered some ground Easter. We didn't see what he was travelling in but it must have been a Royal Royace or _____ NEW OCEAN HIGHWAY TO OPEN SOON MALIBU OPEN THIS YEAR 27-MILE STRETCH ONLY REMAIN ING UNPAVED: LINK; SQOUT CAR TOURS ROUTE To take its place among the world's most scenic drives, the remaining twenty-seven-mile stretch of the Malibu link of the Roosevelt Highway will be opened to travel by the end of this year. This time estimae is made by the California State Highway Commission following the completion of one of the finest and yet most difficult pieces of road grading ever done in the west. All that now remains for the materialization of the dream of years is the paving. Water pipes to carry the supply for the concrete mixers and paving materials are now being distributed along the stretch toward which motorists' eyes have been eagerly looking, especially since the highway was opened up north of Santa Monica as far as Latigo Canyon. When the paving is completed, thus closing the final gap. Southern California will have the longest marine highway in the world—from Santa Barbara to below San Diego. MEXICO TO CANADA And the Roosevelt Highway, when completed throughout its length, will extend from Mexico to Canada, providing a paved drive that will be not only unapproached in varying marine, woods, mountain and valley beauty, but will greatly out-distance in mileage any highway laid along an ocean front. Oregon is now working on its portion of the highway. BEAUTIFUL DRIVE But the motorists have in store for them, when the highway is opened to the public, a drive of such scenic beauty that they will agree that it has been well worth the wait. The tens of thousands of motorists who already have traveled the new road as far as it is opened northward from Santa Monica, that is, to Latigo Canyon, already have gained a picture of what lies beyond, said Franklin. But, the real beauties lie beyond Latigo Canyon, for the mountains, coming abruptly down to the sea give an aspect of bigness. This is particularly true about fifteen miles beyond Latigo Canyon where there has been a six and one-half-mile cut through solid rock to provide a niche on the face of the mountain for the sixty-foot roadway. The highway will be here to be two miles above the high tide. GENERAL HANGING SCENERY CHANGING The drive through the now closed stretch is an unending change of scenery, like turning the pages of a gigantic book. Swinging around points there are many white-sand beaches varying with jagged, rocky shores against which the waves lash. Indentations run back from the beadlands and the road swings around these little bays. Each of these bays has its own sandy beach. There have been six canyons to be bridged between Latigo Canyon and Oxnard and heavy concrete structures built in the solid and attractive style that the commission is combining for time and beauty. Except in the spring months following the rains these canyons are dry but furnish sufficient moisture for heavy growth of sycamores and live oaks. Typical Southern California mountain verdure grows higher on the slopes. WILD FLOWERS, TOO Practically every variety of wild flower that grows in Southern California may be seen in the drive from Santa Monica to Oxnard. There are also great virgin areas of holly which are now protected by State law and which, through the "open" years escaped the ruthless hands that denuded so many of the nearer hills. One of the finest 'forests' of yuccas that Mr. Owens and myself ever saw grew on a mountainside this side of Point Dume. The entire distance, by the Roosevelt Highway, from Santa Monica to Oxnard, is forty-seven miles and I doubt if there is an equal distance of road in the world offering more diversified and interesting scenery. With the nearer beaches becoming so cramped, it is easy to picture the Sunday scenes along the Roosevelt Highway in the future. BY: OSCAR H. FERNBACH You must stop your benzine hack when you're-coming to a track, And get out, and reassure yourself no danger lies ahead For the land's supreme court, it's decision doth report. That you'll have yourself to blame if you discover that you're dead. Hence, our carelessness let's school, And let's all digest the rule Since it makes for safer driving and our pocketbook protects; And when autos crash, my boy, There is mighty little joy. For the chap who has to pay or for the duffer who collects! Car Wreck To Lead To Many Arrests Frank G. Snook, chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles, has just instructed all county captains of the State police to require their men to watch particularly for reckless drivers during April. Chief Snook is making this effort in co-operation with the campaign of the Public Safety Conference of the California Development Association. Records of the Motor Vehicle Division indicate that reckless driving is on the increase in California, and that it is responsible for numerous so-called "accidents" in which loss of life and serious property damage are sustained. During April, Chief Snook intends to check this tendency. The bulletin to his officers states that "persons causing accidents should be arrested and charged with reckless driving where the violation of some road rule caused the accident." Wawona Road to Yosemite Open Wawona Road to Yosemite Open The Wawona Road into Yosemite National Park is now open, according to advises from park headquarters to the Automobile Club of Southern California touring bureau. The road is rough but dry and all repairs being made will be completed within ten days, it is stated. Motorists driving from the south to Yosemite and designs of visiting Mariposa Grove of Big Trees may now do so, it is pointed out. FUEL REGULATED Exactly the amount of gasoline needed by the engine of the new Oakland all-American six is provided by the new fuel pump, which is directly driven from the camshaft. When the started first turns over the motor, just the required amount of gasoline is forced into the carburetor. Then in the carburetor an ingenious device automatically shuts off the gasoline when the proper amount has been injected, preventing flooding. BUSINESS MAN IS HIT BY AUTOMOBILE J. C. Brown of the Brown Furniture Company was run into while driving his auto on Vermont Ave., last Monday and severely injured. Mr. Brown was thrown from his car by the sudden impact and aside from having his left ear mangle, had two ribs broken. He is confined at his home on East 10th street.

Bush, for 45 years continuous service for the Pullman Company, removes one more friend and staunch supporter of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Mr. Bush was not one of those who served through idle words; he acted. The deceased was born in Monrovia Liberia and came to this country at the age of 9 years, and resided in New York City until 1912 coming to this city from there. A more faithful, energetic and conscientious servant cannot be found. Letters from President Coolidge, King George of England and other dignitaries from all over the country were held in his possession. Funeral services were held at the 2nd Baptist Church, 24th and Griffith avenue, Monday afternoon; Rev. N. P. Gregg and J. D. Gordon officiating. Interment in Rose Hill Cemetery.

Thou shalt Be Considerate to thy fellow man. fellow man. Thou shalt Not Borrow Money from the fellow man with the intention of not returning same Thou shalt Not Boast of Good Tips. A MUSE THAT AMUSES Geo. S. Grant, commenting on the funeral of J. W. Bush. "Surely the Pullman Company will reward the Rev. Mr. Eldridge, the Pullman Porter Preacher, for the Uncle Tom stuff he pulled off at the funeral of J. W. Bush. It was pitiful to see this would-be leader abusing the position he happened to be placed in merely to curry favor with the Pullman Company Officials who were present. It was even laughable the way Eldridge despairingly tried to get some kind of response from the men in support of his "Sambo Tactics". Men, won't you please say Amen, he pleaded, begged and if he could have heard what the men were saying about him instead of the Amen he asked for a ray of intelligence might have found its way through his skull to what he calls his brain. SCHOOL DAYS The Union Pacific True to its annual custom of holding School each year prior to the summer rush, opened Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock with C.H.

Maids challenged the keeper for a light duel. Mirrors, family photos and other sacred ornaments that adorned the walls were replaced with signs of "Donts". Can you imagine an old hypocrite in this age trying to teach women between the ages of 80 and 50 years things they have forgotten. It seems as tho if the matter or changing quarters in that City cannot be adjusted in this district office, the time is very timely to go the limit in putting a stop to this outrageous offense, it is up to somebody to start the ball rolling. SOUTHERN PACIFIC IS FEATURED BY PORTLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Southern Pacific Day was featured on February 27th, by the Chambed of Commerce of Portland at a luncheon attended by 500 or more persons, the railroad atmosphere was further enhanced by the presence of Mr. Allian Pollock, Manager of Dining and Hotel Service of the company's lines, together with Mr. Pollock was Supervising Chef Reeves and Walter instructor Max Hall and three Dining car Crews who demonstrated the efficient manner in which patrons of the company are served in the.

St. Louis Pullman Porters Oppose Offer Of Company Kansas City, Mo., April 6.—The suggestion that A. Philip Landolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters resign if the Pullman Company recognize the brotherhood and sign a bona fide agreement was turned down by the members of this division today. The concensus or opinion is that if the company wants to be fair, it would negotiate with the brotherhood leader just as willingly as it would without him. Following a letter which has been received from the Order of Railway Conductors of America pledging their support in the event of a strike, the porters are secretly voting more rapidly than ever. According to Ashley J. Totten, Assistant General Organizer, it does not matter if the Fullman Company employ all the Chinese, Filipino, Japa and Negro scabs there are to be found in the country. The brotherhood men will be instructed to remain on the cars and not reveal their identity. After the ballots are collected and turned into the, United States Mediation Board, a date will be set when a "state of strike" exists. A series of emergencies will then be treated which will interrupt interstate commerce. Public spirted cities of at Kansas City, Kansas, are somewhat concerned about the impending strike, and have lauded Mr. Randolph G. speak at a mass meeting at the Memorial Hall, April 16th, with a view to start a nationwide movement of colored and white's cities to intercede into the THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN A.

"Bob" Shuler at the First A. M. E. Church, 8th and Towne Avenue. The first time in the history of Historic 8th and Towne, First A. M. E. Church, perhaps, was there such a rousing ovation created by an auxiliary of the church. On Monday evening, March 12, the "Necessity Club," of which Mrs. Sarah Shores is the president, presented Rev. Robert (Bob) Shuler in lecture. Promptly at 8 o'clock, Mrs. Shores, who was the personification of dignity, appeared on the rostrum followed by her grandson, Master William Beverly, who, in well chosen language introduced Rev. Shuler, pastor of Trinity Methodist Church (white). "I have been introduced all over the country as a fighter, and it has been natural, but I am not as bad as they make me out to be. "I think a man is a bigger man who can stand when he is scared than when he isn't. I have felt in my heart that God will help where human help will not avail. You cannot go in your own strength unless God goes with you, and you had better not try it. I have gotten myself into a good many nights that I had to get out of. I have succeeded in getting out with my own self-respect left. That is one of the biggest things that a man can do. May I say this to you—when a man surrenders, his own self-respect, he has surrendered every inch of the ground he has. The big thing for any race or any people is self respect. I tell you, you don't have to defend yourself when you respect yourselves. You don't have to put it on, it comes from the inside. DR. E. MILLS Announces the Opening of her office of Chiropractic and Electric Treatments 1660 W. 35th Pl. ROchester 2557 "A man to me one time about your race, 'it is going yellow.' I said that that had already happened to your race. As long as the inside of a man is straight and square, he can face the world and get along. Now, every race and every people and every individual face dangerous foes, and those foes are of their household. On the downward slide, no one ever stops you but on the upward climb there are many. You people would never have had any trouble had you not been advancing. If you had just stayed put and been what you were when we found you, nobody would have ever bothered you. There are many dangers for people who climb upward. When I was a boy, I was what was called precocious, and almost undid myself before I found God. As long as a man stands still there is nothing to pull against him, but let a man start and all the devils will come inside his own heart. A man's great danger is on the upgrade always Your race does not need defenders You need exponents. An exponent is a man—look him over!" a man—look him owed! "When the American people brought about the Japanese Exclusion Act, they did not take into consideration that there was an amendment in the constitution which says, 'that any child born in this country has a right to own land,' and that already there was in this country more than two thousand American born Japanese children. The Japanese are out rooting in the dirt and raising large families, while the whites raise one pinyin little child, put him behind the wheel of a high-powered car out in the Whiffshire district and let him go to the devil. I have said to American folks that if the Japanese is a better man than the white American, if they can produce a more sterile and better man than we can, let them have it. You need to be a bigger, better man than the other man; and then they have to treat you right. You know your people and my people have entirely too many specialists living off the people, who, when we are working hard all day, come and tell us how to do it. "I have stood from my childhood be- FRED MASON Attorney-at-Law and Notary Public Practice in all the Courts of California. Consultation Free. Office: 224 S. Spring St. Room 311; Phone Metropolitan 1138. Rea: 826 Birch St. Phone WAndike 1735 fore your people. It is true that no race in the history of man has advanced more than your race under the conditions which have prevailed. This has been said over and over again, and this is the truth. Your advance has come because you have striven and not because some person has holered. The finest recognition that can come to any people in the world is to move on to higher ground. "During a 'wet' campaign I heard of a man of your race in the state of Louisiana who was a man of valor and one who could not be bought, so I brought him to Texas to speak to your people. I told him that a few bankers had, from time to time, bought the Black vote, and who we were determined at this time to defeat. He took a stand and the Colored folk were the balance of power in this particular election. Saloons went. At a meeting where there were about one thousand and Colored people present and two thousand whites, while the brave Louisiana Black brother was speaking, a white man with a shot gun broke through the crowd and started advancing with his gun drawn, on the Black man. For a moment I was dumfounded, wondering what would happen, but to my unutterable surprise, the Black man, who stood on the back of a little wolf as he spoke to the people, in answer to the white man who said, 'Let me get to the so and so,' turned about and faced him bared his breast and said, 'I have done this for my people and if it will help them any boy, buy put it there, and if my life blood is the necessary sacriice to free my people from the shackles you have forged for them, I am willing to pay the price.' "I took off my hat to him and said, 'if black skin is what it takes to make a man of valor, and turning to the congregation of people, 'dip him in two or more coats of ink.' Now this is the type that it takes to make a man and a civilization—it takes men to win for God and for purity. I have no fonder hope for you in the days to come, than that you develop men and women of sterling character. "Always remember that when a man runs down another man's country, family, or race there is something wrong with him. There are some in your race who do not like me, but it is because I know them and they know me, and they are afraid that I might tell something on them. My record in Paris, Texas, during the time that the mob burned those two Colored men, will stand, for the people I knew that I did everything within my power to divert the lynching. I was trampled beneath foot of the mob, but not dismayed, for even though they were lynched with others I went before the grand jury and saw to it that the murderers were sent to the penitentiary. "Now, with regards to the leaders in your own race, keep your eye on those who have no callouses on their hands; look out for them, they are self-appointed leaders and sell you politically whenever the opportunity arises. There are good white people and good colored people and there are bad white people and also bad colored people, but the American white and the American black man own this country. Truly there are many scoundrels in this country, but don't let anyone shake your confidence in good white men, for when you get good ones together of both races, they march as brothers. "The worse possible connection is a rotten white man and a bad black man. The one thing I despise is the politician at the City Hall who does not think of you folks until just before election time, then he is so anxious to help you that he appears sanctimonious. This is the crowd who threatens your people and my people. May God give us more men like Washington and Lincoln! "And now the last thing. I am going to give you some good advice. Be yourselves. When I started out I tried to be Sam Jones. I like to have ruined myself and almost got run out of two or three towns trying to be Sam Jones. Once in a while there comes a man who tries to be a black Billy Sunday. Then there is the fellow who thinks there is not much to himself and tries to take characteristics of someone else. Don't try to be the other fellow. Be yourself! "You are citizens of this country, and as citizens you have every right. You know that the trouble in your race and mine is that we are trying to be monkeys instead of men. Don't be afraid to stand on your own feet and be a man for it is high time that we found out that the way out is up. A man doesn't go far forward unless he has his head in the air. An old mountaineer once told me 'you don't have to ask very much for something—just grind your teeth and know you will get it.' "Your Colored leaders spend too much time and energy fighting to make it possible for a Colored brother to live between two white families in Hollywood or elsewhere, instead of fighting the spread of immoral conditions in your own section. "I had two reasons for coming down here tonight—to make a speech (which I'm always ready to do), and to show you that I wasn't as bad as I was said to be. Now you know that a man likes to be loved by good folks. I don't care to have bad folks love me, but I do want God's people, whether Black or White, to believe in me and love me. Busy as I was, I felt I must come and I wanted to come and stand before you and say, 'Be men and women, be true, be clean, and the world is yours.'"

Well the story goes that a very bright young man, best dresser, best in the oratorical line, best dancer, handsome, we have two secrets to tell. Come closer and listen. Who is the cutest matron in L. A.? Guessed it the first time—Miss "Buck" Rosser. Who is the smartest dressed young matron? Why Mrs. Gladys Butler of course. Seeing so many colors last Sunday got us rather color blind, but we are gradually getting over it. We hear that Willie Middleton, late of the Westside, but now very much in evidence in Pasadena, is running 'em wild over there. Willie has a good line and is all new to the girls in old Pas. Good luck. Willie, my boy --- Speaking of Pasadena reminds us that among a certain group there is nothing but sadness and much shaking of heads, while over here in Los Angeles there is an empty void. Why? of the bead brunnel type, has reformed. He will do no more those things which have been associated with him.

A. after having read a copy of the California Eagle sent to him by his Los Angeles friend. "R. E. Beekman. 1354 E. 107th St. Los Angeles, Cal. "With I agree with you that your people are going to the front in all walks of life. Your paper leaves no activities of uplift unrecorded. I enjoyed the entire contents, especially the wedding of Banks and Dr. Ruth Temple right up to the minute. "There is one thing especially I must commend your Colored paper for that is this, it leaves out the low mean things and cowardly actions of your race. That is one objection I have to the Colored papers of Chicago. Every man's wife that has run away; every man or human that has had their throats cut, every arrest that has been made, every fight or unit for print; these Colored Chicago papers are going to hand it to you in big red print right on the front page and I think that is so wrong. Instead of trying to get away from those things and trying to magnify the good things, it is just the reverse. So your paper has big Chicago beat with all of its chances of achievement. And the manager and editor deserve much praise to give the public a paper like the Eagle. " (Signed) E. POOLE The Ladies Minstrel. It's a treat. A ladies show that can't be beat.

Surrounding the house one of the officers crawled in through the kitch- en window. While doing so, it was reported that one of the guests at the party, Jas. Brown, by name, leaped through the window of the living room into the yard outside. Officers Rudolph, Carter and others of the squad had effected an entrance to the house by this time, but an of- ficer on the outside grappled with Brown |who broke away and ran fol- lowed by shots from the officers pis- tol. Just ag he ran back of the oil station at 24th and San Pedro, one bullet struck him, making a flesh wound in the shoulder. He was car- ried to the receiving hospital where the wound was’ dressod.

Mont Pleasant Baptist Church of Berkeley, fn honor of the church’s new pastor, Reverend L. B. Brown, jformerly <$ Los Angeles, was Leon Whitaker, al- #0 of Los Angeles. 1 Mr. Whitaker, who is a senior stu- dent in the University of California, graduate school of law, discussed the relations between law and religion, and the very beneficial work of re- ligious education in the| community. He placed special emphasis on the fact that the church, with it moral training and influence, is a great and inspiring factor in reducing the traffic in the criminal courts. His remarks were considered very timely and were qa raesieee: The many friends of Miss Louisa Dixon regretted very much to hear of her passing on the Sth inst.

MATT SOLOMON Interest is more than speculative in the Baby Content that is being hotly waged in Pasadena from the presentation of the Spikes Lady Orchestra, Thursday, April 19th at McKinley School, Oak Knoll and Center, and the pouring of tea by the sponsors of the Millis baby to a first class Chitotling dinner given by the Boosters of young Griffin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Griffin of Sunset avenue. Of all the contests held heretofore this is the kenest rivalry yet evinced. The grandson of Mrs. Virgy Cory is also running strong with a tea party given in his support on last Sunday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Parish on Morton avenue.

Where two or three boys are gathered together there is the start of a ball game. It matters not that an alley, a street, backyard, is all that is available. The rules are adjusted to suit the conditions. The American boy holds a master's degree in accommodating himself to circumstances. Observation is convincing that there is as much fun to be had in playing an alley game interrupted frequently by passing trucks and with improvised equipment as under conditions where there is more room and nothing to interfere with the progress of the game. If a mitt salvaged from a rubbish heap is not the prized possession of some boy something else can be made to supply the deficiency, for no self-respecting boy would try to play ball without giving at least an imitation of possessing a mitt. And games of this character are thoroughly democratic. There is no snobbery, no race prejudice. Boys of a half-dozen shades of color may participate but all are Americans because they are devoted to the national games. One who observes the efforts of small boys in playing ball amid such restricted surroundings cannot repress a regret that better facilities for play are not afforded. Yet those who make the best of what they have are learning a valuable lesson, though they may not be aware of it. The small boy who is able to play in the confines of an alley and get a lot of fun out of it is imbibing instruction in the philosophy of getting something out of life wherever life find him. He should have a better place to play but a wider space might make less demand on his ingenuity. Thus there are lessons to be learned in cramped quarters for the boy who is alert. And the right kind of a boy who learns to make the best of an alley will be the kind who will make the most of his circumstances in later life and he is not likely to be satisfied with an alley when he gets old enough to work for himself in the more serious game of life.

Springtime is the time of new things, when the old and decadent give way to nature's new birth of foliage and plant life, and all the world put on a new riment. Spring also is the clean-up season, when man's habitation should be made to harmonize with nature. Where there is filth there is nearly always disease. Disorder is accompanied by waste, danger and decay. Dirt and disorder are the greatest enemies to public decency, health and safety. A few clean and orderly homes in a select residence district can never safeguard the entire community. A single filthy home dirty backyard or a stagnant pool may easily become the source of an epidemic of fatal diseases that will sweep a city. A trash pile may start a general conflagration. Every thrifty housewife knows the need and the joy of household cleanliness. She has a general housecleaning twice a year, when she changes her furnishings, but she keeps her home immaculate all the time. No semi-annual nor "annual bath" for her home!

It is especially unbecoming issuing from a business man. Constructive criticism may find fault with existing conditions but it always is said in a way that sounds like boosting. "Knocking" is talking too much about what the community isn't. "Boosting" is talking about what Los Angeles is and can be. The man in business, whether or not he deserves it, gets most of the credit or blame for what his community is. If he criticizes adversely he is, in the public's eyes, just belittling his own work. But it is never unbecoming for him to boast of the many good qualities possessed and acquired by his home town. That community which is without faith in itself is without hope. And if its business men lack faith in it, how can the community expect to enjoy the faith of the lay citizen? However, the faith Los Angeles demands of its citizens is not the blind faith required of citizens of less fortunate cities. The wise business man never knocks, regardless of how bad business may be. He knows the "hammer" may rebound and strike him. Knowing an optimistic public is a buying public and that consumers tighten their purse strings with the first cry of hard times, he exhales optimism with every breath.

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING BEAUTIFUL WEDDING EASTER St. Paul Baptist Church was the scene of a beautiful wedding Easter Sunday evening, when Miss Sadie McReynolds, Los Angeles; and Mr. Isiah Matthews, Waco, Texas, were united in holy matrimony by the pastor, Dr. W. F. Botts. Prior to the entrance of the bridal party, Mrs. Bertha Spruill rendered a solo. There were twelve in the bridal party. The blending colors of the girls' dresses, made of satin back crepe with the popular long uneven hems, and their picture hats, made a picture not unlike a rainbow. Two daintily attired flower girls and a ring bearer finished the picture. The bride wore white taffeta, the entire skirt being of meline ruffles. She wore an embroidered veil and carried a bouquet or white roses. The reception was held at the home of the matron of honor. Clever nut upkeep ensured that mess-marked places for the bridal party. The couple will reside here. AT ST. PAUL AT ST. PAUL A GREAT MESSAGE ON THE RESURRECTION BY PASTOR Rev. W. F.

ON THE SIDEWALK (Continued from Page One) America's unique organization known as the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. It seems that with the Quaker State pulling back the "Cover" and revealing some of the un-American tactics exhibited by this order, the name of the same should be, instead of its present title, the Knights of Dark Deeds. Go ahead Pennsylvania, maybe the rest of the country will eventually take notice and realize that this Klan movement has done more to drag the principles of American citizens in the face than any other known organization. WATTS WATTS BY W. J. WHEATON ...EASTER! Millions of voices went out in peaks of praise for Him whose teachings laid the foundation of our present civilization Twenty thousand San Francisco people thronged the slopes of Mt. Davidson and greeted the first of the sun's rays, with "All Hall, the Power of Jesus' Name." In the Capitol parks of Sacramento, other thousands proclaimed that "He is Hiser," Churches were crowded; organs pealed their sonorous notes; Te Deums were chanted and anthems hailed the eadvent of Christendom's most sacred festival. All well and good; but, how many of those worshipers remembered that Jesus, said "Love thy Neighbor as Thyself"? How many of the millions who bent the knee or bowed the head in reverence, had cleansed their hearts' of racial hate and prejudice? Who knows! There may have been a cleansing of hearts; a purifying of minds that will have a beneficent effect upon the attitude of man and man. If it does no more than cause some of them to read the "Sermon on the Mount", great good will be accomplished toward the better understanding of men one with the other. With the passing of Easter, which caused a lull in political activities, candidates and their managers resume the game of "Catch Mr. Voter." As a barometer of Democratic politics or the relative strength and vote getting qualities of the several aspirants. All eyes are turned toward California. The three cornered scrap; Smith, Reed, Missouri; Walsh, Montana, has become one of intense rivalry, and the development to the strength of either aspirant will go a long way toward the correct reading of the democratic barometer which will be hung up at Houston, Texas. Imperial Wizard, Evans, has announced that the Klan will fight against the nomination, and if nominated, the election of Gov. Al Smith, which is news of no importance. It looks as if Walter Cohen has lost out in Louisiana as a factor in Republican politics. For years Walter has held the skeleton of the party together. It, meaning the Republican party of the South, has for years been a rance. The name has been maintained for the distribution of federal patronage. The farcical part is, that the federal patronage has not been given every republican claimant but democrats have shared in the plum shaking. Aside from some minor matters, being a democrat or republican in the South is about six of one and half dozen the other. As a factor in our racial progress political appennees are a negligible quality. With the winning or the right to vote in the primaries, and an insistence of exercising that right, we vision the return to the Halls of National Legislation Race men selected and elected because of their known ability. BIRTHDAY (From The Woman's Outlook) Now as I look behind those vanished years— My eighteen summers that have flown, I view naught else but ruins, and in tears I curse those follies all my own... First, glorious were the days I spent in youth, Those jocund moments—gilded, crowned; Those whispered prayers that my soul did soothe, From one queen mother now dethroned. Then came the winter of a bitter life— The world was cold, indifferent; And those sweet blissful moments turned to strife. And pained my youth yet innocent. In this my solitude there's not the glow Of love to guide my steps a right; What dubious fate is mine I do not know— I grope within the hush of night. Only some feeble sparks of hope remain To kindle yet perhaps the fire; Whate'er to be our future God shall deign. Against it we must not conspire. Then cease Oh! heart to pine for what shall be And uncomplaining bear your share; And sigh, my soul, no more in misery— our future is in heaven, there Conrado V.

Mr. X. or Mr. Z. we might say Mr. Z a democrat and Mr. Z a republican. Mr. X might have been a banker and promise to make you rich if elected. And Mr. Z. might have been a good farmer that have raised plenty of chickens and turkeys, and if elected will be the same toward all, man kind. How do you know they will do this? You will take their word, go to the polls and vote that you might be rich or that you may get justice for some time, and you have bought lots of turkeys. It is time to awaken. Read the history of some of these candidates before you go to the polls, and vote for them that have made the best mark in life weather he be democrat or republican. I was approached by a white man and asked if I were going to vote for Hoover for president. In replying I said I did not know just who to vote for? He said all colored people should vote for Mr. Hoover, I asked him why should all colored people vote for Mr. Hoover, His reply was that Mr. Hoover is a republican. I said to him I am a democrat. He got so enthusiastic until he had to put his glasses on and took a good look at me to see whether I was a colored man. After looking me over he said he thought all colored people were republicans.

To Arrest Negroes Who Attempt To Vote in Florida Tallahassee, Fla., Mar. 30 (By The Associated Negro Press) Taking cognizance of reports that efforts were being made to register Negro voters for the forthcoming Democratic primary Attorney General Fred H. Davis issued an opinion holding that the Florida law excludes them from participation and that any action on their part should be met by criminal proceedings. The attorney made his announcement after receiving information that registration or approximately 60 Negroes was being attempted in Escambia County (Pensacola). He advised the county solicitor there that Negroes should not be allowed to register and vote in Democratic primary elections, adding that while the United States Supreme Court held that under the law they have such a right, the Florida law on the subject is broad enough to exclude them. Declaring that he has no doubt that an effort is being made in Florida to stir up trouble the attorney added that the only way to handle the situation is to file perjury charges against those who apply for the oath.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Impending Strike First Test of New Railroad Labor Act Kansas City, Mo., Mar. 20.—The impending strike of the Pullman Porters and Mails will be the first test of the new Railroad Labor Act, and the standard labor unions are watching it with intense interest. Under the law railroad employees are not permitted to interrupt interstate commerce. It requires that when two parties fail to arbitrate, an emergency must be created after which an Emergency Board is appointed with mandatory power to render a final decision within thirty days. The Pullman Company refused to arbitrate when advised by the U. S. Mediation Board that the porters' Brotherhood had shown a large majority in membership and that they were perfectly willing to arbitrate with them. The suggestion of stool pigeons operating in the Kansas City district that the men weaken and adhere to the principles of the "company Union" has been turned down by the men at a secret meeting held at their division head quarters. In explaining their reasons Ashley L. Totten Ass stant General Organizer said that it would be a violation of the law for the company to consider a petition for a wage conference under the "Company Plan." Section 5 of the Railroad Labor Act reads that "in any case where the services of the Mediation Board is requested by either party or said board has preferred its services, rates of pay or rules governing working conditions shall not be altered by the carrier (vis. Pullman Co.) until the controversy has been finally acted upon. Instructions how to make the strike effective are given to the men secretly at daily meetings and they are told not to reveal their identity or to discuss the strike question with passengers or anyone who is not a member of some labor organization. Lincoln Alumni Hold Big Meet in Washington Washington, D. C., Mar. 21.—At a largely attended meeting in the celebrated Metropolitan A. M. E.

The meeting was an interesting there are a number of Lincoln graduates in the Capital City, some of whom one, made so because of the fact that are prominent in the life of the com- Dr. William Hallock Johnson, the president of Lincoln University, made the principal address, and outlined the plan and scope of the work. Prof. Walter L. Wright, vice-president of Lincoln, also spoke. Dr. Mordecai Johnson of Howard University made remarks, as did Dr. R. B. McKary. Much interest centered around the remarks of Thomas E. Miller, formerly representative in Congress from South Carolina, who is said to be Lincoln's oldest living alumnus. Mr. Miller was greeted with an ovation. It has been publicly announced that Lincoln graduates occupy unique positions in the church life of the city, mention being made of the following: the Rev. William D. Battle, '07, and the Rev. William H. Thomas, '94, pastors of Metrodist Churches; while the Rev. Dr. F. J. Grimke, '70, known throughout the country, the Rev. H. W. B. Campbell, '03, and the Rev. R. A. Fairley, '24, are leading Presbyterian pastors. The two leading Baptist Churches, the Nineteenth Street Baptist and the Shiloh Baptist Churches, are presided over by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, and the Rev. J. Milton Walton, '86, respectively. Big "Dam" Program at Forum Easter Sunday At the L. A. Forum on Easter Sunday bursting forth with new thoughts and ideals, the Forum recorded itself 100% in favor of the Boulder Canyon Dam project. A resolution was adopted and a special committee appointed to for ward to the various representatives in Congress letters urging them to support the Swing Johnson Bill. The importance was also stressed of letters being sent to Eastern friends urging them to write their representatives in Congress to support the measure. Pictures were shown of the Colorado River on its wide annual rampage carrying destruction in its path. This served to further emphasize the importance of larnessing this menace and converting the same into a productive asset. OPENING DANCE Beautiful La Vada Ball Room. Benefit N. A. A. C.

YES, I'M A MODEL IMPOSE FOR A SLIVING. PN.F Service, N.Y. Porters' Fight When a group of men whose interests are bound together by the circumstance of a common employment in a certain industry, find the conditions of that employment unfair and unjust to the point of being intolerable—when these unfair, unjust, and intolerable conditions are uncalled for and unnecessary and are not the result of any depression or inability on the part of their employer to remedy these conditions—when all efforts to honorably and peacefully secure an adjustment of these conditions through the medium of an organization regularly formed by more than two-thirds of these men, are met by an attitude of contempt and indifference on the part of the employer, and even the formation of the organization is opposed by the tactics of intimidation, unjust dismissals and lay-offs, and many other unfair reprisals, it becomes not merely the privilege, but the sacred duty of these men to use their only remaining weapon—the strike—with all their power to compel, by a tie-up of the business of their employer, a reasonable consideration of their just demands. The Pullman Porters are such a group of men, and the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters the organization which they have formed by an overwhelming majority. For more than two years has the efforts of this organization peacefully to adjust the intolerable conditions of miserably inadequate wages, cruelly inhuman hours, been met by a Company policy of contemptuous indifference to their just demands—by the cowardly use of the economic bludgeon to suppress their organization. The Watson-Parker Act, which is a law prescribing a procedure for peacefully adjusting labor conditions in the railroad industry, was lobbed for by the Pullman Company who morally agreed to follow its provisions. It outlines three steps: A Mediation Board to recommend a basis for and urge a peaceful agreement between a carrier and its dissatisfied employees; arbitration when mediation fails; an Emergency Board to be appointed by the President when an emergency which threatens to tie-up railroad traffic exists or impends. The Brotherhood is thus forced to its last resort—the right of men to withhold their labor and by so doing as a group to enforce the recognition and granting of their just demands. A strike vote is being taken. In due time such strike will be called and the president of the United States will be asked to appoint an Emergency Board to ward off the empending tie-up of Pullman traffic. The feeling of human manhood demands, the knowledge of human manhood insists, the spirit of human manhood compels that this step be taken, for were these men cowardly to give up their fight, diffidently to abandon their struggle, they would forselt their own self-respect and deserve the contempt of their families and friends. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, in issuing this statement, calls upon: 1st) All friends of Pullman Porters and their family stor their whole-hearted, loyal support and encouragement. (2nd) All labor union groups and all labor sympathizers who believe that the "laborer is worthy of his hire," for support, assistance and encouragement. (3rd) All true Americans and all human beings with a social conscience, a sense or justice, a spirit of fair play, and a belief in human rights, for support, encouragement, economic and political protest. And finally. To all agencies of public opinion, newspapers, journals, press representatives, to broadcast this statement containing the facts about the struggle of these men who are forced to resort to this very last and only remaining method. In order that an aroused and active public opinion and sentiment will operate to compel the Pullman Company to retreat from their unreasonable position and thereby save the country from the moral disgrace and economic disaster of the impending conflict. THE NEGRO AND THE NEXT PRESIDENT (Continued from Last Issue) Perhaps I should not leave the very able Bob Church out of the large list of Negro political effectiveness. But the doughty Tennessee lives in a state where there are too many leading white Republicans for any Negro to be allowed to sit at the head of the table. If Church represented a state where white Republicans were so few that the party management had turned over to Negro leadership the fortunes of the Republican party, he would show us the genuine effect of Negro leadership. He would unify under one central direction the scattered strength of the race and wield it for tremendous racial advantage. I am not at this writing advised just what the exigencies of the situation will require him to do. But I would not be surprised to see him take the reigns of the Hoover band wagon which carries the colored contingent. In the meanwhile the Northern Negro politicians are holding their breath. The time has not yet come for them to declare their allegiance. They must needs wait till the party bosses have passed the word. There is little or no sponteniely in their choice. But when the word is passed, I expect them to mount the Hoover band wagon with a zeal that will outrun that of the other disciples. Let us hope that our colored statesmen will not repeat the political folly by which they have been unwittingly mislead the race for the past thirty years. By rosette prophesy they have assured us that if their candidate were elected the Nergo would have every wrong righted and every grievance remedied. We heard this in the case of McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Harding and Coolidge. Shortly after election extravagant prophecy gave way to deep disappointment and lond denunciation. All of these went out of office leaving the Negro in deep disappointment and chagrin. This ought not to be the case in the instance of President Coolidge. The other did make campaign promises which after election they did not choose to fulfill. But not so with Mr. Coolidge. He promised nothing. If, therefore, his accomplishments for the race fell short of expectation, he cannot be accused of unfulfilled promises by way of recognition. One faintly recalls "Fourteen-Points" which the Negro political leader of the campaign formulated as the reasonable expectations of reward for the Negro share in the last campaign. Mr. Coolidge never made a single one of the fourteen appointments, as he never promised one. I trust that Mr. Hoover's Quaker honesty will not permit him to make a single promise which he will not fulfill, and at the same time it is to be hoped that our campaign spokesmen will not deceive us with the expectations of more than we are likely to secure. I would like to see Mr. Hoover the first Republican President, since Grant, to go out of the White House with the same good opinion on the part of the Negro as that with which he entered.

NOTABLES AT LA REPUBLI LICA TEA ROOM EASTER PROGRAM GOES OVER BIG The management of La. Republica Tea Room feels very elated over the expressions of satisfaction and surprise in the service appointment and entertaining feature of Easter. Miss Carolynne Snowden, far-famed performer and entertainer at Sebastian's Cotton Club, with four of her friends, were among the early guests. The unmatchable tenor, Mr. Chas. Willis, now at the Pantages, was among the late callers. Each party expressed satisfaction and was surprised to note that such a wonderfully appointed place with such well prepared food should not be filled every evening, peopled with the best of our citizens. The management contemplates a surprise in the near future for its patrons and friends. Watch this paper for notice of same. "Titles by George Marion, Jr." Titles by George Marion, Jr. Millions of motion picture patrons throughout the nation have read that small credit at the start of a photo-play so often, and laughed so consistently at the subtitles in the picture which followed, that the moment it appears on the screen they now begin smiling. Five years ago George Marion, Jr., was a dramatic critic on a Los Angeles newspaper. Today he is perhaps the best known title writer in the motion picture industry and the most famous "wise cracker" of all who title pictures. So famous is fact, that the Ohio State Sun-Dial, a college humor publication, printed a squib to the effect that a certain beauty contest winner "is on her way o Hollywood to play opposite George Marion, Jr.'s subtitles." In 1923 Marion was writing short stories in Los Angeles. He finally secured a position as play reviewer. His father, George Marion, is one of the best known directors in the history of the stage, and George, Jr., was an able critic. As a result of his work on the Writer series, he was signed by Joseph Schenck. Fourteen months ago he joined the Paramount writing staff and during that time has established the phenomenal record of 75 titled productions, his most recent one being "Red Hair," "Partners in Crime," "Sporting Goods," and "Feel My Pulse." Marion completes a set of subtitles in three days and rarely sees a picture more than twice to do his work. In order to do this he lives wisecracking subtitles 24 hours of the day. Hunches come to him at breakfast, in bed, while bathing, at the theatre—everywhere. He jots down the idea and thus has a large storehouse of laughs always at his elbow or in his pocket. He works solely at home with radio or phonograph music as accompaniment. The titles come quickly and spontaneously he says. Every day is a search for ideas. He says he gathers the best wise cracks from baseball games, boxing matches and in department stores. "I gather ideas by the armful from advertisements" he says. "I read many papers and periodicals, American and foreign, to keep my tiles timely. I read French, German, pansh and Italian and have a large foreign library, which helps. "I've never met a character I could not make speak correctly because I was educated for 14 years in Switzer- Redmon made a very creditable showing by garnering 510½ points.

Her recognition of her work has shown Miss Stokes at the time of her appointment quite twice two years ago but considerable controversy arose when the newly elected auditor Will French intended appointing a colored girl on his staff. A number of his political supporters warned him with "You appoint that Negro girl and we'll see that you'll never serve another term." "But at least I'll serve this one," replied French, "and I will appoint whom I please, according to their ability rather than their color." The appointment was made and work began. Miss Stokes, the only colored girl on the staff found at first a little stiffness on the part of the clerks and others among whom she had to work but recognizing her ability this wore off and she is accorded equal consideration and friendliness with the whites. During her term of office she has become a prominent figure in Kansas politics after two months fighting down color barriers, she succeeded in having Negroes admitted to the big Kansas Day banquet at the Capitol, she being present, seated near Teddy Roosevelt, Jr. After serving as mistress of ceremonies for the Lincoln Day program, she began the work of speech making thru the 105 counties of Kansas, in order to complete the tour before the election for Governor, which is to be a hot one. She succeeded in organizing the women's club of Kansas and was the only colored woman delegate to the Republican State Convention which convened at Wichita, Kansas, March 3rd. This busy girl spent her vacation last summer as delegate to the Pan'African Congress, later traveling through New England and Canada to increase her store of knowledge. She frequently remarks that though politics is a fascinating game she wishes that narrowness, scheming and deceit could be kept from creeping in. Miss Stokes has accomplished much in the short space of the two years she has been in public. Nashville, Tenn., March 22.—"The big business of our generation is how to live together in the closer contacts that have developed in these later days," declared Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal or Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, in an address before the Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which held its fifth anniversary meeting here last week. This is the first time a Negro has addressed this body of southern churchwomen. "Here is a great and practical task for everyone of us," Dr. Moton said. "We Christians ought to try to get into the thinking and both races that neither of them has anything to lost, whether of prestige, ideals, or noble traditions on the one hand, or of freedom, opportunity, or good will on the other, in doing our utmost to see that every man in the south, black or white, has an equal chance to work, to train himself for this largest usefulness, to receive justice in the courts and to bear the responsibilities of citizenship. "I believe that the greatest service that anybody can ever render the South is to convince both races that the cooperation of black and white in the development of all possibilities of our section will do more for the advancement of the best interests not only or this section but of the whole nation than all the prejudice, segregation and sacrifice that might be involved. "If we could only get the same of effort that goes into keeping the races apart, if we could just get half this same energy put into sane, judicious, constructive efforts towards mutual understanding and cooperation between the races, we would have a Southland that would far surpass any of its glories of the past where both races would realize their highest hones without loss or detriment to either. As it is, we of the South are using one hand when we might use two: we are using one eye when we might use both; we are walking with one lee and a crutch when we might run and jump and leap on the high- She graduated from Sumner High School, May 28th, 1925, then took a course in the Kansas accounting and Bond School at Pigtisburg, Kans. Public life has failed to change her and she retains the sinege, kindly, friendly disposition which has won her a host of friends. When the National Urban League holds its Annual Conference in Philadelphia from Tuesday to Friday, April 10th-13th, Philadelphia will witness one most impressive meeting. On Thursday night, April 12th, in the Egyptian Room of the John Wanamaker Store there will be held a race relations meeting entitled "The New Negro Tells His Story" at which distinguished colored persons of various professions will tell the story of achievements of Negroes in their particular fields. L. Hollingsworth Wood, President of the National Urban League, will preside. The Robert C. Ogden Association Band will for one half hour before the meeting, from 7:45 to 8:15, render a band concert. Spirituals will be sung by the Robert C. Ogden Association chorus. The members of this association are the colored employees of the Wanamaker store. The speakers will be the reverend Shelton L. Bishop, Curate of the St. Phillips Church, New York City; John E. Nail, prominent New York real estate promoter; Dr. John P. Turner of Philadelphia, formerly President of the National Medical Association; John W. Davis, President of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, and recipient, this year of the Harmon Award in Education; Countee Cullen, poet, and Assistant Editor of OPPOR-TUNITY Magazine; Miss Crystal Bird, lecturer; Robert L. Winn, Editor of the Pittsburgh Courier; and Eugene Kinckle Jones, social worker. The response will be made by Lloyd Garrison, Treasurer of the National Urban League, and the great-grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, the great Abolitionist; and the closing remarks will be made by the Reverend E. A. E. Palmgrist, Secretary of the Philadelphia Federation of churches. Other subjects for discussion at the Conference are "Industry", "Housing", and "Social Research". The subject of the general Conference will be "Coordination of Social Effort", and Executive Secretaries and Board members of the National organization and way to progress and prosperity.' It is America's opportunity, Dr. Moton said, to teach the world that however much men may differ in race and color that they may live and work together and serve each other without friction or conflict. It has become customary every year to celebrate "Kindness to Animals" Anniversary, and the National Human Association this year set the week for April 15th to 21st inclusive. The world owes much from an economic standpoint to the birds and other fowl and animals that inhabit the earth, and it is only meet that opportunity should be given for special recognition of this animal kingdom. Every form of animal life has its part in the routine of existence, doing its bit of service toward the general prosperity and well-being of the economic whole. Statistics compiled prove that were bird life to be eliminated, within three years crops would have been destroyed by insects, and within five years human life would be abolished, famishing from want of sustenance. These facts alone show the necessity of making every effort to be kind to birds and to preserve them. Kindness in treatment of animals not only reacts to the benefit of these animals, but develops in people a higher moral attitude and a greater sense of justice, that tends to make for better and more useful citizens. Training of children in kindness strengthens the best part of the child's nature, develops its sense of justice toward others and a recognition of the rights of others, both animal and human, and is a very real factor in helping to eliminate possible criminal tendencies, thereby building better men and women as our future citizens. for 'v' two locals will be in attendance. The headquarters of the Conference will be the Social Service Building, 311 South Juniper Building, 311 South Juniper Street, Philadelphia, Pa., The Armstrong Association of Philadelphia (Philadelphia Urban League) Wayne L. Hopkins, Executive Secretary, 1434 Lombard Street, will be the host. THE LAST LOAF! Has it come to that? See this marvelous drama of American life. Snappy. Humorous, dramatic.

FAIR PLAY ASKED FOR GARDNER. GIRL- ETICS By: GLADYS. MA- THONICÁN LADY GRAY SAYS EXERCISE BEST COSMETICIAN If there is no other argument as to why girls should exercise regularly carefully, freely, it is that it is the greatest tonic for the complexion in existence. Lady Beatrice Gray, famous physical culturist and writer is one of the greatest exponents of outdoor treatment for complexions. It always make me laugh when I listen to these hothouse beauties complain of getting out in the open where the sun and wind and fresh air can get at their fragile complexions. Every time they go for a swim, they get on the beach, swathed in long sleeve beach costumes and large brimmed hats and parasols—and if they wet their feet by accident—they go in and change their beach shoes. Give me the outdoor, athletic girl every time, whose one-piece suit is meant to swim in and whose healthy glowing skin needs no rouge or powder to make it truly beautiful. As an argument for all those mis guided girls who believe that the out door life wrecks skin and complexion I want to cite an incident. GOING EAST TOO! CHARLEY LONG The great. Omaha middleweight Charley Long is finding the "picklins" mighty slim here on the Coast and is expecting to go back east soon, he has promises of bouts in Denver, Omaha where he is a big card and also N.Y. Charley is still the star colored member of the Hudkins stable managed by art and Clydo Hudkins. His famous stabbleman Ace was kidding him the other day at the Hudkins cigar store and Charlie a little "hot and bothered" exclaimed, "well to show you I can fight. I'll fight you if they'll match us!" What a whale of a battle that would be but we hope never to see it. We like both boys too well. Do You Remember? When the races between Negro speed king were in full blast at Ascot Speedway? Just by way of reminiscence, this is a close up of a start at the last race held here three years ago. Recognize any old friends? Charley Moore was king of the Roaming Oval then. The National Boxing Association has declared that Bruce Flowers must fight Kaufman. The Flowers-Kaufman bout was scheduled for April 3, but was cancelled on Flowers' plea of an injured hand. Donohue also announced that in the event Flowers eagles Stanislaus Loaay, at Detroit, for which he has also contracted, he will be required to meet Kaufman as soon thereafter as possible, and before meeting anyone else. Buttered side down "Chubbs." Come on. W. E. Spencer in The Last Loaf. JACK McVEY SET DOWN BUFFALO, N. Y. —Far off in front, outpointing and outpunching Frankie Schoell with what looked like ridiculous ease, especially surprising to those who long had been used to Schoell's skill and speed, Jack McVey, Harlem middleweight battler, was disqualified for an alleged low blow in the last minute of the second round, and the verdict handed to Schoell on a foul, in the main bout Saturday night at the Broadway auditorium. Magdaleno and Stevens Top Main St. Bill Carlo Curtis has a dandy bill lined up with the Main St. A. C. favorite, Magdalene topping the bill. The card follows: Jimmy Peterson vs. Tony Bevo, 4 rounds, 148 lbs.; Mickey Farm vs. Bobby Garcia, 4 rounds, 116 lbs.; Cecil Bennett vs. Mike Holland, 4 rounds, 140 lbs.; Sidney Belt vs. Felix Ramox, 4 rounds, 138 lbs.; Mateo Magdalene vs. Jack Stephens, 6 rounds, main event, 122 lbs. In last Saturday night's card Bob Baray wot over Bill Cote, decision, four round; Tony Beve wot over Carl Idelo pe, decision, four rounds; Jimmy Sweting wot over Israel Alday, decision, four rounds; Paul chiffler knocked out Jimmy Murphy, first round; Bobby Garcia wot over Al Sing, decision, six rounds; Freddie Imperial wot over Ray Villanovis, decision, six rounds. BY LINCOLN CHANIS NEW YORK CITY, Apr. 5.—The Lincoln Glasses opened their season at the Protec tory Oval and defeated the Bronx Glans, 7 to 4. George Smith, recruited from the Pacific coast, and Carl Masock, last year's home run hitter, played the leading roles in the OTHER BIG BOUTS READY For three weeks straight that king of matchmakers Wad Wadhams has fistic dishes lined up that will tickle the pugillistic palate of the most fastidious fight ran. First comes the long loked, for re-match between Jackie Fields and Vince Dundee, brother of the famous welter champion Joe. Jackie Fields and Vince Dundee will meet in a rematch on April 17, Speedy Dado and Newsby Brown will tangle on April 24 and Hill and Shea clash a week later. In signing Hill and Shea, Wadhams has lined up two of the best reatherweights in the game. The two have met twice, Hill taking a decision over Shea in August of last year and Shea winning on a foul in the eighth round of their bout staged last November. Hill's appearances in Los Angeles were impressive. Last September he trimmed Danny Kramer in ten rounds and in October he scored a knockout over Vic Foley in the eighth round. Some of the local fight fans who claim to know say Hill is part colored. Perhaps that accounts for his hitting power as Filipinos as a rule hit plenty but not hard. The Fields-Dundee match next Tuesday is due to be a treat for the fans. They fought a great slashing bout at their last meeting, many of the Dundee camp claim Vince was entitled to a draw. Both boys are evenly matched and expected to be at the scheduled weight. A great supporting card is on top. The Brown-Dado match will be for the world's flyweight title, Brown now being the recognized, title holder as fas as this coast is concerned. PRIZE GIVERS ASK JUSTICE TO ED- DIE. GARDNER Justice and fairness has always been the policy of this paper. So when it sent out the first call for a 'Negro runner in the Pyle cross continent race it had no intention of taking one dime of the winner's money. Funds had been set aside by the publisher to guarantee entrance to the race. BUT WITH NO INTENTIONS OTHER THAN TO HELP out a worthy cause. The most it would have accepted would have been a small cut of the vaudeville castrace later, but NONE OF THE $80,000 earned by RISKING A LIFE and burning up $100,000 worth of energy in a painful heart-breaking struggle. IF, AS IS THE BAY OF FREEDOM Last heard of he was np around Portland making bad luck for himself as usual, fouling, stalling, "etc." He Speedy Monlden reinstated then suspended again for fouling. We haven't seen him since we ran his Christmas Greetings. CLEO AND MARGUERITE MAKE HIT ON CREOLE CUTIE CHORUS Cleo, the sister of Young Jack Thompson and her team mate Marguerite made quite a hit with their Bowyer number and dance the past week at the Lincoln. The closing week of Mildred's big show went over especially big, as did also the clever work of Bobby and Mildred in Street Chatter and Ecocentric Dancing and Jim Willis comedy axophonist. RUMORED, BACKERS OF GARDNER or other colored runners INTEND COLLECTING THEIR POUND OF FLESH in the shape of a 50 PERCENT SHARE, the whole world would cry out at the INJUSTICE OF IT. Local citizens who are interested enough to have made the offers they have, such as the Banks Bros, Dr. Guldera, Mr. R. R. Adams, the Main Loan and Jewelry Co. and others, have done so freely and gladly and though they are willing to increase their pledges and make up some of the $12,500 deduct they feel that it should not be touched. That little singer that we all used to love to hear chirp those light Blues numbers, both at the Lincoln and over the Radio will be the headliner on the bill of this week's offerings at that theatre, starting Friday, April 13th. Since the Doc Stramine Company west East, Baby Mack (who has become a native daughter by virtue of her mar- THE LADY OF THE TOWN rriage to Leslie Hite, solo saxophonist in Moshy's Blue Blowers Orchestra has been featured at the Cotton Club in Culver City and there has been so many requests for her appearance at the Lincoln that the management (through great expense and the courtesy of the Cotton Club management) has secured this little star to appear for one week only to sing your favorite song in the way you love to hear them. Also for this Saturday at the Midlife Show only, you will have the opportunity of listening to that sweet singer tenor Charles Willis, who comes to us from the Pantages Theatre for this show. I know you all remember him the way he sang himself into everyone's heart with Mosby's Blue Blowers a few months ago at the Lincoln Theatre. Let all go our folks and welcome these two—our own star favorites—back again and incidentally show our appreciation to the Lincoln management. Local patrons of the剧院 and night clubs will miss three of the eleventh local girl performers and entertainers after the 18th in the persons of Thema Porter, Theresa Harris and Mary Richard. Under the guidance of Mr. K. F. Keranand, accompanied by an orchestra whose name is not yet learned they said for the Hawaiian islands for k three-months engagement. The excellent singing of Miss Porter and the good work of all the girls will assure their success in the islands.

Buy em early Upper- Cuts & Blocks --By-- HARRY LEVETTE IF EDDIE GARDNER FAILS TO FINISH in the money at the end of Pyles' Patient Pedovan to New York, if will not be his fault, but can be laid to MISHANDLING. Ed. is a born athlete, highly trained for running, and his years of winning marathon races have taught him the best method by which he can keep in condition, what he should eat, and how he should run. THERE IS NO USE in anyone who has never done a thing and knows nothing about it trying to tell anyone how to do it. "Too many cooks spoil the broth." So word brought back from one of the camps of the runners state that experts there think Ed. would have held the lead in elapsed time all the way but for too much advice. It is bad for a runner, boxer, swimmer or whatever he may be, if his attendant is too greedy for the money he expects to win. He either drives him too fast, or holds him back too much and invariably in case of emergency is "up in the air" and does not know what to do. BASEBALL in the Negro Leagues is in for a big year. Managers and other officials are beginning to learn to weed out the petty bickering and envious squabblings that are such a drawback to our race. Secretary Gilmore of the Negro National League has proven himself through the whole history of the league to be one of the ablest men in the nation's baseball circles. Seems that our group in the East is quicker, anyhow, to realize the facts that inward wars and jealousies are our biggest impediment. Perhaps that accounts for the great progress our people in the East have made in the same length of time that we have been in the West. If so, we should learn something of this from the East. We could have good teams in the West if we gave them support but then how many local citizens ever go to see, or even know that our boys are competing in track and field events at practically all the school and college meets. Instead they "walk their way alone."
