C., Aug. 10.—Announcement was made Wednesday night by chairman Hubert Worf of the appointment of colored votes division of the Republican National Committee to direct the Hoover-Curtis presidential campaign among Negroes of the United States. According to this announcement, Dr. John R. Hawkins, who seconded the nomination of Secretary Hoover at Kansas City, and president of the Prudential Bank, of this city, was selected as chairman of the Executive Committee, with Albon L. Holsey, Secretary of the Truckee Institute and the National Negro Business League named as secretary of the committee. The other members of the executive Committee are Walter Foster of Boston; Robert R. Church, of Memphis; State Senator Adelbert Roberts, Chicago; John E. Nail, New York City; Mrs. Myrtle Foster Cook, Kansas City; Mrs. A. L. Hanton, New York City, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, former special assistant to the Secretary of War and now secretary-treasurer of Howard University. "We are gratified", said chairman Work in making the announcement which has been looked forward to with much interest, "that there has been such a fine voluntary response and pledge of support from the colored people. This committee is composed of leaders of thought and opinion, representing their business, professional, religious and educational life. In my opinion the election of Herbert Hoover will herald a new day and opportunity for the group A. At Legion Hall cor. Washington & Central Saturday Night 8 o'clock To Elect J. B. Bass Assemblyman AUSPICES U. V. R. Joseph B. Bass, Editor and President of The California Eagle Publishing Company, who is a candidate for the Assembly from the 74th Assembly District has been a resident of California for the past seventeen (17) years, sixteen (16) of which have been spent in Los Angeles. He came to California from Montana, where he was held in the highest esteem by the citizens of that State, for his public spirit and keen interest for the advancement of the people. By far however his greatest activity was in the State of Kansas, where he was reared and it is said that in this State his name was and is today a household word, made so by his activity in Civic and Political life. His accomplishments are far too numerous to publish in an article like this. In Los Angeles he is also universally known and the public spiritedness of Mr. Bass and his talented wife are recognized throughout the length and breadth of California. Again space prohibits us from even an attempt to chronicle the things which he has fostered and brought to pass here. Progress and production is his password and he has ever lived up to this standard. He stands squarely before the people and his life is an open book. He has never been a candidate for public office before, he has always been content to help others to high places. He says now that a condition exists in the 74th District which he feels, if elected to the position of Assemblyman, he can improve upon, all for the benefit of the citizens thereof. Not satisfied, however, with his own declaration, he went before the people and as a result more than 1500 signed his endorsement, the name of whom with his campaign committee appear herein. He stands fair and square for law and order and to his best judgment will serve to make California a better place in which to live and that his district shall receive the recognition along all lines which is its due. His platform is "SERVICE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA, HIS CITY, AND PARTICULARLY THE PEOPLE OF THE 74th ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. Viewing with alarm the carelessness of citizens in the affairs of government, Mr. Bass has stated that a compulsory registration and voting measure will have his serious consideration. The Following Organizations Are Among the Many which have Endorsed JOSEPH B. BASS for the ASSEMBLY from the 74TH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT: The Central Labor Council; The United Veterans of the Republic; The Universal Improvement Association; The Peoples Protective Association; The Kansas Club; Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen; Brotherhood of Trainmen; Brotherhood of Conductors; Odd. Fellows; Federated Voters League; Dynamic Political Club; First Voters' Club; and many other units and outstanding citizens.

The body was wrapped in a newspaper dated July 22nd. The sheet was embroidered with the name of Laughton. Deputy Sheriffs ordered the body removed to the L. R. Wright Undertaking Parliars in Maywood. It could not be determined whether the infant was white or colored. First, we oppose the idea of placing the american citizens of Negro descent apart as if they were an alien group. WHY HAVE A NEGRO DAY? Second, I, personally, have lived in that section of the country where they have Negro Days and experience and observation have taught me that such designations serve as a detriment to the group. All Negro talent is kept off the other programs and reserved for that day.

Many places for education and amusement become closed to Colored citizens and they IN ITS 37th ANNUAL SESSION WITH THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF RIVERSIDE, CALIF. The Western Baptist Association held its Thirty-seventh Annual Session with the Second Baptist Church of Riverside, August 7-12. Moderator Dr. W. D. Carter had, with his associates, arranged a most helpful and progressive program. Never in the history of the organization has such helpful reports been made, such inspiring sermons and addresses delivered, such a spirit of harmony and unity united, and such a bright outlook anticipated as during the meeting and at the present time. The citizens of Riverside were happy to have the organization in their midst. On Tuesday evening the church through its local minister, Rev. Mr. Porter, the city through its Mayor, Hon. Mr. Dighton, the Baptist Denomination through the Assistant Pastor, Dr. Stokley, the Ministerial Alliance through Dr. J. R. Epley and the Negro churches through the Rev. Mr. House of the A. M. E. Church, brought messages of goodwill and fellowship. All the addresses rang true with the many expressions of brotherhood and assured the messengers of most cordial stay. The Western Baptist Association is advancing a most progressive program. There are employed four full time workers: Rev. Frank James, Evangelical Missionary; Dr. W. R. Carter, General Missionary; Rev. Charles Hampton, Colporter and Mrs. Eva Overr Solomn, Educational Missionary. Through a plan of co-operation with the Los Angeles City Missions and the Southern California Baptist, Convention these persons are enabled to give their full time to the cause of the churches of the Association and also to racial advancement. Their reports were a revelation even to the workers of the Association. The denomination in this section of the State can feel justly proud of a large number of churches that are serviceable not only for worship but also for carrying on week day programs and engaging in real community service. In Moderator, Dr. W. D. Carter, the denomination has a real leader. Progressive, intelligent, sympathetic, enthusiastic he has many characteristics that are so necessary in a leader. His Annual Address was thoughtful and presented a vision for the future that captivated his hearers and elicited their hearty supprt. He presented a number of most excellent recommendations which were adopted and plans are already made to put them into effect. Among them may be mentioned a permanent home for the West Coast Theological Seminary, the publication of a denominational paper, enlarging of the co-operative activities, and increasing both foreign and home mission activities. (Continued on Page Four) are frankly told that they might enter these on THEIR day. In Dallas and other southern communities the segregation was carried so far until Negroes began to boycott the expositions and the Negro Days are no longer held at the Dallas State Fair. The argument is advanced that we are given the opportunity to show white people what we can do. The facts are and can easily be proven (Continued on page 5) Sidney P. Dones-Vicissitudes Through Which He Travels BY: J. McFARLINE ERVIN SIDNEY P. DONES "The deepest subject", says Goethe, "in the history of the world and mankind, and that to which all others are subordinate, is the conflict between faith and unbelief." We do not seem to understand whether or not we believe that which was represented to be false, when that which was represented seeks to attune itself to a more "blessed realm." Youth can be expected to make changes either for better or worse and we ought to give the highest praise should it be for the better, no matter from what depth the transition might come. We must have faith in our young men of fight and ability; it ought to be our ambition to force them into correct avenues of obligation, for we need even the "weakest." This lead me to think, that the citizens of the 73rd district ought to consider in a more serious manner, the possibilities of Sidney P. Dones, who hopes to be sent to the Assembly. Dones presents a very hopeful case. Here is a comparatively young man full of courage, ambition, ability and a fast growing sense of "justice and integrity." He has mercy. Supposedly, his former pride and desire would not permit him to so openly show his change of "heart and feeling," but destiny, if it has chosen for us to go on, grinds our selfishness into a more liberal klasship of our fellow man. And so with such suffering. Dones is growing into a beautiful specimen of "manhood" both inwardly and in the outer. We ought to harness up these young fellows and let them fight. Sometimes we make immortal characters from these rugged, brilliant, ambitious but slightly misdirected young men, when they have a conviction of heart—and sometimes we may send them to "HELL" by withdrawing our hand of help and confidence from them. Stork Brings 8-Pound Boy to Stocks' Kin A robust baby boy that tipped the scales at 8 pounds was the latest addition to the well-known Stocks family of Pasadena. Mrs. J. A.

To one He gave five talents; to another three and to still another He gave one. Then the man with the five talents, when the Master checked said, "Lord, I invested my five talents and have five others to report." The second man with the three talents spoke also saying, "Lord, I too have invested profitably and have also doubled my talents." But, alas, the man with the one talent came forward and said, "Lord, I buried my one talent and have no returns save that which thou gavest me." Go, use your talent! Don't sit around crying and coveting the multiplied talent of your fellow man. He has obeyed the Master's command and is now enjoying the fruits of his labor. Looks Like The People Want A Change The meetings staged by the "Bass-ForAssembly" Campaign. Committee have all been very promising. Last Monday evening's meeting arranged by Mrs. Lela O. Murray at the Balf Bond office of her husband, N. B. Murray, at 1215 Central Ave. played to an overflow gathering, and all present declared Bass their choice in the August 28th primaries. Friday evening's meeting at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Clairette, 1340 East 15th St., promises to be brim full of enthusiasm and the public is invited to attend the coming meetings.

Not Ashamed In last week's issue of our contemporary, the New Age-Dispatch under the caption "Seeing Things Political" there appeared this paragraph "Did you know that Brother Bass has a legislative record." Some years ago he was the subject of a bill introduced in the Assembly? The writer of this paragraph presumably considered this an exceedingly 'wise crack.' Truly it opened a wide gap for speculation as to what it really meant, but J. B. Bass is not ashamed to refresh the memory of the public as to what really happened. Here is an editorial which appeared in the January 27th, 1917 issue of the California Eagle, which sets forth the facts hinted at in the "Seeing Things Political" column "Assemblyman Bert Farmer has gained a little questionable fame for himself in the Forty-second sessions. It seems Editor J. B. Bass had been appointed through the efforts of Assemblyman Mouser, an Assistant Sergeant-At-Arms, and on the Editor's own request, he had selected the coat room as his assignment. An Assistant Sergeant-At-Arms is appointed to police duty in the coat room to see that the personal property of the Assemblymen is not stolen; that there be no lobbying on these premises; to preserve order to see to it that only certain designated people can enter and lounge there. In fact, in the cloak room the duties of the Sergeant-At-Arms is nowise different than his duties at the doors, galleries or lobbles. But, it seems Assemblyman Bartlett and Farmer expected because the only Colored attache had the cloak room, to make him do the valet act of brushing off with a whisk broom the clothes of Assemblymen. Mr. Bass, standing within his rights, refused to double up on his job, so Farmer at the instruction of Bartlett, introduced on the floor of the Assembly, "A Whisk Broom Order" for the only Colored Assistant Sergeant-At-Arms in the Legislature. Mr. Bass stood within his rights and he received another assignment, which the enterprising Assemblyman from the Furlong Tract District will not be able to "Jim Crow." Basis refused to be "filed out" which our present *Assessments* should have done in the Baltimore incident at the new city Hall opening.

Is it not possible that with a more aggressive and progressive attitude we might with our white brother help to manage some of the big concerns, especially where so many of our people are employed. Negroes have money on deposit in nearly every bank in the country. They have bought bonds, own stock or shares in almost every big business in the country, and shouldn't they have some representation on the board of managers or directors? Haven't they a right to ask for appointments of some members of their race on some of these boards? If our money is helping to build these institutions, we should be accorded the same privilege of other investors. We should be permitted to help run them. If we are not willing to put our money together and establish these businesses and industries ourselves, we should make some effort to help control those that are established.

To say the least she brought us a wonderful message. Those who were not present missed the opportunity of a lifetime. At 7:30 P. M. the Church was filled to witness the program given by the ladies.

The words of the text were: "When I Was a Child, I spake as a Child, I understood as a Child, I thought as a Child, but when I became a man, I put away Childish Thins." "It was indeed a sermon of force and power, and in this message the pastor endeavored to show to the men their position in the church-world and responsibility, and pleaded with them to stand as men and not children. The 3 o'clock services were conducted by the Men, Rev. Adair, the visiting minister, preached a wonderful sermon, using for his text: "Upon this Rock, I will build my Church, and the very gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Mr. Grant of Los Angeles, gave a lecture to the men preceding the sermon, which was quite an intellectual treat to all present. We were especially favored with solos from friends of our sister church and we want them to know that we are very grateful for their service to us in our special service and at any time we can be of service to them we will be glad to reciprocate. 6:30 P.

Tylier, Attorney for A. D. Kinchlow, who was contesting his right to occupy real estate at 2245 West 30th Street in the City of Los Angeles, that the Supreme Court of the State has dealt a staggering blow to the colored people of the State in its decision respecting the occupancy of land in that tract. The restriction which finally found its way for decision in the Supreme Court reads as follows: "We, the owners of real estate in the Crestmore Subdivision in the City of Los Angeles, California, agree to bind ourselves for a period of twenty-five (25) years to the following restrictions: (Continued on page 7) Colored People's Patriotic Day At The Southwest Exposition Colored People's Patriotic Day At The Southwest Exposition In keeping with the same courtesy extended to all other peoples the management of the Southwest Exposition now being held at Long Beach, has set aside September 1st, as the Colored People's Patriotic Day. This day will take up entirely the accomplishments of the Colored people and demonstrate their genius and talent along all lines of effort. It is an opportunity for a hearing and demonstration for the things worth while by the race. There will be something interesting and instructive for your approval every minute of the time and the management is confident that no one will regret this wonderful opportunity. There are 32 foreign nations represented with wonderful exhibits of their arts and crafts. In addition to the high class entertainment and musicale to be given entirely by noted Negro artists in the Great Open Air Theatre many entertainment features if remarkable import are presented free by the Exposition. Mr. L. E. Behymer, the internationally known impressario, has arranged some of the highest class entertainment features ever seen at an Exposition of this character. By the way Mr. Behymer has been one of the great forces in this country who has always been willing to give to the Colored talent its due, and hearing. A special concession has been extended to you for September 1st in the form of a DOUBLE TICKET, which entitles the holder to ADMISSION TO THE EXPOSITION GROUNDS and also to ADMISSION TO THE OPEN AIR THEATRE with RESERVED SEAT-at any one of the three afternoon entertainments. The price of the DOUBLE-TICKET is 50 cents which would otherwise be One Dollar. We can see no reason why this day should not be a grand success and that all the people will turn out to present a strong support on this occasion.

BASS.CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY FROM THE 74th DISTRICT When war was declared against Spain in 1898, there was a grand rush of white men in Kansas seeking commissions in the Negro regiment that was being made up in Topeka. They were getting away with it until Joseph B. Bass, cracked wise as to what was going on. He unlimbered his Topeka Call, and raised so much hell, that Governor- Thus it was through his career John W. Leedy, a Populist, and grand in Kansas Capitol, where he grew old man, saw the light, and declared from a barefoot boy into a sturdy, up- that the Twenty-Third Kansas Volun- right, stalwart man—always doing for teers would be officered from corporal his race. The close of the war found Kansas Negroes badly disorganized. The political spotlight that had played a dazzling halo around that gallant knight, C. H. J. Taylor, register of deeds, District br Columbia, under Grover Cleveland; E. P. McCabe, once auditor of Kansas; John L. Waller, Minister to Madagascar, seemingly was never again to shed brilliant rays around a black Kansan. Every fellow was a "leader" and no two were thinking the same thought. Who could devise some plan to unite the warring factions and again, put the race back into the high place it once held in State and National politics? Discussing the political plight of the race one Sunday afternoon in the lobby of the Chiles Hotel, J. B. Bass, who was then associated with Nick Chiles on the Topeka Plaindealer, declared that he was going to put forth an effort to get the boys together. In a few days Mr. Bass, assisted by J. H. B. Taylor, and the late Dr.+James A. Page, announced the formation of the Kansas Lincoln Day Club. The first meeting was held on the birthday of the great Emancipator in the Senate Chamber of the State House, followed by a brilliant banquet at Nick Chiles' hotel on East Seventh Street, in Topeka. It proved the greatest gathering of race men ever assembled in Kansas Leaders from Missouri, Nebraska and Illinois were in attendance to witness the interment of the hatchet by the Kansans, which was truly a love feast. Bass was made secretary of the or organization and from then on harmony reigned supreme in the State. Prof W. T. Vernon, now a bishop in the great A. M. E. Church, was made registrar of the United States Treasury through this organization and the sac rificial personal service of the tireless secretary, Joseph B. Bass. From this time on things political began to happen in Kansas. Old Joe donned his war togs and stayed on the firing line helping every fellow save himself. Paul Jones was given a soft seat in the office of State Auditor, Geo. E. Cole; additional guards were put into service at the State prison and a drastic law against lynching was enacted by the legislature. It was in the fertile brain of Joe Bass that the idea was conceived that Topeka could elect a Negro to the city council. Approaching the late Fred Roundtree, principal of Monroe School, after much persuasion, finally succeeded in convincing him that he could make the grade. Mr. Bass took personal charge of the campaign and succeeded in giving the capitol city of Kansas her first councilman of color. Mr. Roundtree served with honor and distinction until the city adopted the commission form of government and made a strong race for commissioner, but the elimination of the ward system released a flood of white votes too great to overcome. Past performances are an excellent example of what to expect of a man in his future actions. Bass has never asked for anything for himself, but always helped the other fellow including Mr. Roberts. He is rich and ripe with years and experience. He is bold, brave and fearless, and if honored by the voters of his district will measure up round and full to every requirement. Now that we have men in the legislature who feel kindly toward the race, put a man in the Assembly with guts enough to throw a safeguard around our rights, before that body becomes contaminated with "Heffkins" who will besmirch our statutes with black laws. Nominate and elect Joseph Blackburn Bass, and the race will gain an inch. Mrs. Charlotta A. Bass, Manager of the Bass-for-Assembly Club, as we go to press, announces that a careful check up of the 74th District reveals the condition which causes her to feel absolutely safe in predicting the nomination of Mr. Bass by a substantial majority over the present incumbent who has held this position for the past ten years. Speaking further, the very energetic and astute woman manager, declares that willing ears have heard the message of progress and a firm promise to get somewhere for the district with the election of J. B. Bass. She says the citizens have tired of slipshod methods and yearn for a MAN who can bring things to pass for the district. The endorsement of Mr. Bass by the major organizations in the city, is but a straw showing the discontent which prevails an assures an overwhole victory for Mr. Bass.

McFARLIN ERVIN THE NEW YORK TIMES A multitude of people sat listening, as Mr. Dones poured out his theory of the "Relation of the States and the individual." No one escaped the touching truth of his convictions—even screamed for mercy; and I could not help doubting, "that he was talking for gain." He said: "The movement in human thought launched by Socrates lacked the power to revive the drooping spirits of men. But the movement in human thought launched by our God breathed the breath of a new life into a dying world. It has created a new theory, a new justice and an everlasting urge in the hearts of men for freedom and the enjoyment of our natural heritage. This desire is not immune to Negroes! "Here in California we evidently have not felt the full extent of this urge, for we sit slumbering, while the State moves on out of our reach—further and further each day. Here in this beautiful, rich and fertile state are thousands of men begging bread, while a few favored sons sit contentedly enjoying the spoils with their friends. Most of all, you sit here pleading to God, while your sons walk the streets in cursed idleness, your daughters dreaming around in shameless sin, you yourselves not able to make your bread are being driven to distraction—as the "favored sons" laugh at your stupidity. "You are not stupid, but you have not realized what the state can do for you. You need not ever expect to realize if you send 'dead men' to represent your interest. You hear the same old story—'it can't be done.' I The people are rallying to the call of PROGRESS and appreciate that a new deal is in order. We have conducted a high class and dignified campaign based squarely upon issues. Mud slinging and the small time tactics have been avoided that the people might not become confused upon the situation and what Mr. Bass stands for. Upon the campaign conducted and assurances given we are satisfied Mr. Bass will be triumphantly nominated at the primaries on next Tuesday. well as individuals Prominent Physician Opens Office in L.

Edwards of this city to Mr. Ovid Scott formerly of Chicago, on Sunday morning at Phillipse Temple, attracted the largest group to an occasion of this kind in Los Angeles social history. It was foreold by those knowing the popularity of the family of the bride that there wouldn't be house enough to contain all the friends. So surely enough early Sunday morning before the Superintendent of the Sunday school could assemble his thoughts and classes, strangers in festive gowns began to peek and peer timidly, in then holdly plunge forth to claim a seat to the best vantage-point. Twas in their hearts, on their minds and gradually did it permeate Mrs. Robert V. Edwards-Scott the air until all thoughts of the routine of a Sunday School were in the background and the still quiet of other Sunday mornings gave way to excited whisperings and undertones gradually swelling in volume and increasing in velocity. They came in by twos and threes and fours and sometimes a whole clan seemed to have formed outside and marched in Dear old sisters and brethren who had known the venerable grandfather of the bride, a man beloved, the builder of the first C. M. E. Church of this city, the Rev. S. L. Harris, of some nineteen years ago. Personal friends of the bride's mother and father, Mrs. A. C. Bilbrew and Mr. Ralph Bilbrew, of the mother's sisters the Harris sisters, Clara and Amy, and brother Rexford Harris, a family ranking among the first of high class entertainers, whose name is the synonym of vocal harmony, whose services have been sought after by the best show houses of the city and yet persons of such humble mien that they are still approachable to the least of their old acquaintances and friends; whose faith in their father's teachings have bound them irrevocably to carry on the work he began in the C. M. E. Church. The friends of the groom and his mother formed during their nine years sojourn here. (Continued on page 4) Miss Dorothy Paul entertained Miss Mamie Porter of Oakland Wednesday at her home on 46th Street. An enjoyable afternoon was spent at cards. Those present declared Miss Paul a charming hostess. Recently a man who ranks as one of the intellectual lights of this city, said in the presence of a young man, who is striving to make a success in his business life, that when a man was a failure in business after many years' effort, that that failure was an indication of honesty. Ye Gods! what strange philosophy. To the young men and women of today—you who are preparing to be the business men and women of tomorrow, start visualizing now. Call it building air castles, if you please, but whatever you call it, hitch your hopes for success not on the housetops, but in the stars, remembering always that if you are honest with yourself it remains that you cannot be dishonest to your fellowman, and upon this pundition, you can but erect for yourself such a business career that will laugh at all disaster. Henry Ford is an unique example of America's most successful business man. However, less than a half century ago, he merely occupied a place as a faforest boy in poverty row. But by persistent effort and honest dealing with men, this same unsophisticated Henry Ford, though sitting in his mansion by the side of the road a friend to man, is not only America's most conspicuous example of a successful business man, but the world's. "He who steals my purse, steals trash, but he who robs me of my good name, robs me of that which does not enrich him, but leaves poor indeed." The man who smiles upon you in the name of friendship, but are you turn your back, speaks evil of you, is after all, worse than the unknown thief who breaks into your house when you are asleep and steals your gold. The Last Appeal In the pending campaign, the paramount question arises—Who shall occupy the seat at Sacramento set apart for the representative from the Seventy-fourth Assembly District? Assemblyman Frederick M. Roberts has occupied that seat for ten years. He is a gentleman, a scholar and the son of one of Los Angeles' best families and we have, in previous elections not only endorsed his candidacy, but supported him in every detail each time hoping that, because of his presence as our sole representative at the capitol of the State, that something worth while would happen that spoke for some group representation in this, our glorious State. But each time we have jogged along taking one step forward and two backward, until we have reached the place where patience ceases to be a virtue. The men who have rendered greatest service to the world have been those who have come up from obscurity. In most cases those who were schooled in the academy of poverty, but who, because of their own bitter experiences desired to make the world a better place for those who come after them—and of such is the character of the man we offer as Roberts' successor at this time. At the age of three years, Joseph B. Bass, as far as parental influence was concerned, was left alone in the world. He was, however, soon adopted by sturdy Kansas farmers, and while they had not the means with which to train "Little Joe" along the line of ethical culture they taught him that honest labor and an unselfish attitude towards others should be his prime motives in life. "Little Joe" took their advice—he became a Kansas school teacher. He labored among the lowly, never despising the atmosphere in which he had been reared. He has always been and is still anxious to serve. From the school room, he moved onward and upward to newspaper editor and today, Joseph H. Bass holds the distinction of being one of the best pen pushers of his day and time. And now, ripe in both age and experience, with little of that supercil- (Continued on Page 8) eS ee en re eee = seasain Beene sch REE ene RUE ee Te ae SHS MI Res Lue ea ee ete te Oe ee ee LE i Neer he ae " eet VES a Prt ee 7 ten ne SERS ty eR Skee Se ee ROUTE EE TRC TSE SR RC Say ee cae Pe ee ee Peer ee . ee See pes ¢ ea cs f F = PE TMS SAME SS ae ROR NRT SC REST aE are Ta RAS Foes LOREM ce OE grey Uo cgar MS Meee Cen Care na CCU Cet ENT 9 On nee ai ay { E eee i ye ate Ae ony fOr ets f ’ Seve e . i ‘ oe f : ee s K 1 ; j | i . ‘ . : ae de . \ " Page—Two if You Fail To Read—1E CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May bret er Know It Happened Febday, Anaust 26 1848 | S EEE —_ EEE TES oe Sa ee ee : Tee “ — , - 3 — ‘ yy Weabingten Blvd. on orth, Among the epeakers were: Prot. f 7 . . r Isms on ih, Grit on tho|M- Merten, "Tegag educator; W. 1 we 5 meee " es ast und ‘Sat ‘on the West.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:— It having been brought to my attention that Jack Bean, one of the candidates for Supervisor in the Second District, is taking unto himself for political purposes, credit for the opportunities presented to people of your race in County service. This is-to advise you that during your period of greatest advancement in County work, he was not even a member of the County Board of Supervisors. It was prior to his administration, and while I was Super- visor for the Second District that the mem- bers of your race were admitted to the County Hospital as nurses, and to the pasi- | tion of Head Custodian for County Build- | ings; this is the only Department in the Loenats that is supervised by one of your peo- ple. The efficiency shown by your girls in the County service has removed all opposi- tion to them. The same is true of Mr, Robin- son, serving as Head Custodian of County Buildings. Should you desire any additional facts on the subject, I will be very glad to provide same. : Very truly yours, (Signed) E. J. DELOREY.

They shall prosper that love the Church of God. W. J. BRANNON, Pastor OVER-FLOW CROWD AT JAZZLAND Before one of the largest crowds, perhaps in the history of Jazzland, this most spacious of western cabarets, held its formal re-opening without any noticeable mishap. This was a pleasant surprise to even the most hopeful to note no misconduct or outburst. We are glad, it seems to suggest a change for social betterment. The building, although filled to capacity, was not a bit stuffy. It has a very excellent ventilating system. The music by Alton Redd's Pods of Pepper was too hot. The entertainers were jam up. They included Ross, Strut Mitchell, Sam McDaniels and Miss Black Bottom. Miller and Slayer Company has been secured for an unlimited engagement here. Isn't that hot! They are to play every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday night.

The many friends of the club were charmed with the favors and souvenir caps given to each guest. Miss Lottie McLean of San Francisco is spending her vaction in our "fair city." Mr. Willis Dudley says he means to show Miss McLean a red hot time and when he says a "red hot time" he don't mean maybe. Miss Cornelia Edwards entertained Mr. and Mrs. Homer Smith with a breakfast party-Sunday morning. Mr. Homer is on the Pantages Circuit. It looks like Harold Baumann is very fond of Alices. The petite Miss Alice Pettus seems to be disinterested right now, while the cute little Miss Alice Keyes has caught him on the rebound, so everything is "hotsy-totsy now." . . . The firm of Bartea and Watkins has been dissolved,—absolutely. The fair Lulah has decided that her interest in musicians, in fact a particular musician, is very low. Mr. John Pettigrew, owner of the famous "green gas buggy" is holding down the head man's job over Lulah's way. John "used to be" No. 1, when the fair dam-selived over our way, and Hollywood interests him no longer. And Frankie says maybe he can still go over on W. 37th St. Miss Fannie Hayes has been very interested in "Bullocks" lately. Or maybe she likes to watch the elevators run --- Well, he's gone and done it. What? Why, got himself all engaged in everything. Who? Why, Mr. O'Neil Dubuclect, that big soda dispenser from Sawelle. But it's still a deep, dark secret. Can you imagine O'Neil as the "head of the house?" Miss LaVera White has extended her vacation by a visit to the East. She will be gone quite some time. The Beau Brummel Social Club entertained their friends at La Republica Tea Room, Thursday, August 16. The many guests were charmed with the delightful affair and the courtesy of the hosts.

She is at the Bradway. Oh well, what's a little dust among friends? Bae Lee Jones, a young singer of supersliterary merit is honoring Los Angeles with her presence. She is the niece of Dr. Hudson. She was one of the hits of the National Convention and is now contemplating going on the Orpheum Circuit. We all hope her great success.

Page--Four EDWARDS-SCOPP NUPTIALS Continued from page 1) The personal friends of the modest little bride. So retiring is she that it does not seem that so many could in her find a counterpart. Perhaps 'tis the radiance of her smile that kindle for when she smiles the sunlight seems to gather in her eyes and there to twinkle, shedding warmth in the hearts of those coming in contact. Or it may be that she is so deserving of admiration, her accomplishments even as child have been published in days past. Throughout her entire school career, all of which was in this city, she has, through her talent, been singled out for honor. At the Lafayette Jr. High School, she was the school pianist. As graduate in the Sunmer '27 class at Jefferson High, she was piano soloist in a class of 300 students, being, the only student of color, given place on the class honor roll. She has for the past 4 years been the organist of Phillips Temple, the church of her mother and forefather. Her splendid work in school as pianist merited an appointment as assistant accompanist in the High School Gymnasium Classes during the past year. For the Fall '28 term she has received an appointment as accompanist in the L. A. High Schools. Whatever the attraction, all of the colorful portion of Los Angeles seemed to be there, those high in the social register, and those not knowing. The scene is on: the choir files in, that organization that has received the greater part of the bride's and mother's Church activities, in whose membership there are some of their warmest friends, of which the mother is director and the bride. organist. Exultantly they march in festive gowns arraved. Fifteen hundred persons crowded themselves into every nook and corner flattening themselves along the walls while almost an equal number jammed in the corridor, along the steps out on the church lawn and on lawns and porches opposite the church hoping to at least get a peek at the bride and groom. While others despairing quickly after giving one look at the teeming crowd, passed on by. it really happened! The minister speaking, held the vast audience on his tongue's tip for the space of three-fourths of an hour. Some even forgot the bride for the time and gave themselves up whole-heartedly to the service: "Be not weary in well-doing." There comes a pause, the opening chords of the Bridal Chorus from the Rose Maiden sounds forth. Jubilantly, the choir gives forth the call to the bride that the time is now at hand. The call is evidently heard for soon the pathway is covered. A soft voice rings on the air. It might have been the gratitude in the heart of the garden!" sung by Miss Dorothy Mc --- If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened Cullough accompanied by Mrs. Lottie Bolds Anderson. From out of the walls came the plaintive tones of the organ in Mendelssohn's Wedding March. Down the aisles simultaneously come the family of the bride and the groom. They stand in line facing each other. Mother looks mother in the face and each has a prayer in her heart. Standing in the bride's family line are: Mrs. A. C. Biblow, Mr. Ralph Biblow, Miss Amy Harris, Mt. Rexford Harris, Miss Clara Harris and Mrs. M. R. Harris Thomas. In the groom's family line are: Mrs. Catherine Scott Clark, Hon. F. M. Roberts, Mrs. Foster, Miss Eliza Robinson, and Mrs. Henry Reynolds. The ladies of the group were beautifully gowned in soft color tones with a bunch of dowers hanging down the back at the left shoulder and large hats to match their gowns. The men were the strict English cut in black suits and carried slip hats. The tones of the organ persists in its call. In apple green, taffeta, pink rosebuds falling over the shoulder, wide pink sash that faded over and bung luxuriantly down, shoes and picture hat to match gown, the Matron of Honor, Mrs. Eurice Blackwell, girlhood chum of the bride, mkes her appearance carrying at bouquet of pink sweet peas and premier roses. Following in the opposite aisle, the tiny ring-bearer, Claybourne Robinson, Jr., in full dress suit of black satin, valiantly bears his burden on silken pillow. Close on in pink moose silk with ample folds of the material forming a drape that hung to the ankle at the side, pink shoes and picture hat to match, the maid of honor, Miss Bernice Stout, classmate of the bride blushing timidly, made her way carrying a parisian bouquet of orchid sweet peas and premier roses. From the rear, the best man, Hilliard Lawson, friend of the groom proceeds, attired in suit of English cut carrying silk hat. The groom approaches and stands at the foot of the altar. The altar place has been converted into a tropical garden. Two green palms eight feet in height, give shade and shelter at the entrance. Up the pathway out from the green of grass and fern, high gilded jardiniers are here and filled with great dahlias in pastel shades. At either side of the pathway to the rear of this wood wardia, two green turtle-lissed archways stand. Green fern hinds its way up its sides and in the center, gorgeous dahlias lift their heads high from their gilded receptacle, sending a message of cheer and gladness. The matron and maid of honor climb up the pathway and stand to the front of the archway on the left. The best man and ring barr stand to the right. At the entraned the groom sincerely faces that sea of faces with but one face in mind—that of his bride. The tall pink candles, tied with generous bow at the base and draped with pink tulle surrounded the garden forming a wall of light. They burned with steady light in waiting. The two merging families that face each other patiently wait for the connecting link. All that host, some of whom have for hours waited this on moment sit tense. Out from the walls, the dreary wedding march changes to the lighter, more gay one, of the bridal march under the skilled fingers of Mrs. Elizabeth Williams Bruce. "Here Comes the Bride!" the organ insisted. All faces light in expentancy. Down the aisle, dressed alike in orchid taffeta dresses, bonnets to match, gilded orchid baskets hanging on the left arm out of which they strew the pathway with roseleaves, the Bilbrew twins make a pathway of roses for this sister to tread. The same sweet smile lights her face, the twinkle is there in her eyes. Calmly, she answers the call in the eyes of her mate and gracefully proceeds to him. Her gown is an ivory creation in chiffon taffeta of period style. The simplicity of it is enhanced by a row of pure white camellias attached below the waistline of the skirt. From her finger tips she carries a prayer book of pure white chiffon satin, the shower of ribbon and butterfly roses reaching to the hem of her skirt. The bridal veil of embroidered tulle forms a veritable queenly crown studded with rhinestones, orange blossoms, hanging in showers from the ends with rows of pearls encircling the head, it trailed off in rich magnificence "Here Comes the Bride!" Nearing the altar, the smile that parted her lips turning the corners of her mouth upward, is now only a faint memory. The twinkle in her eyes is gone, they are now starry with suppressed emotion and tears. She is still brave. She is oh, so happy, but it—it is just too much Her eyes are brimming, as she passes her mother and reaches her mate, two great drops come stealing softly down. The two families turn and face the altar as the bride takes her place beside the groom, Rev, P. G. Rogers, pastor of the groom performs the ceremony Rev, R. W. Underwood, the bride's pastor, assisting. The mother gives her daughter to her lover. The couple climbs the pathway to the altar, while the organ fervently breathes out a blessing in that old hymn "Blest Be The Tie That Binds." The tones of that grand old hymn seem to usher in the spirit of one passed on. In it is his smile and his blessing, that his children and his children's children should revere his memory. "Blest Be The Tie That Binds," it is the breath of his prayer. At the altar the ceremony came to a close with the groom saluting his bride. The soft strains of blessing give way to a more militant, march and the bridal party passed swiftly out through the surging sea of humanity that finked itself, mirculously, on either side to let them pss. The reception at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Ralph Bilbrew at 1008 E. 27th St. was in garden party effect. Beneath a canopy extending from the porch to the public walk, the guests strolled, partaking of delicious refreshments, chatting pleasantly. On the porch beneath the dove of peace that swung aloft, the bridal table was laid. The wedding cake a three-tier effect with bride and groom ornamentation was made and presented by Mrs. Minnie Loggins. Mrs. Loggins assumed the responsibility of arranging and serving the table. The bridal baskets of ice cream were served. Gifts, gifts, gifts—if each gift represents good wishes that couple will have enough to tide them over any difficulty. An entire room full, some piled one on the other of valuable household necessities and ornamentations—Linen, Silver, China, Kitchenware and Household Furnishings Space will not permit the listing of them. From New York, Chicago, Idaho, Texas and Arizona came tokens of remembrance and good wishes. Sunday evening the couple were given a great send-off by family and friends. The newlyweds car was labeled, belled, and caned to perfection. At eight o'clock they boarded the train amid a deluge of rice. They were serenaded beneath the window with "Sweet Adeline," to the amusement and delight of all the other passengers aboard. Mr. and Mrs. Ovid Scott will spend their honey moon in San Francisco, afterward making their home in Los Angeles. Mr. Ovid Scott is the son of Mrs Catherine Scott Clark, formerly of Chicago but who has resided in Los Angeles for nine years. He was educated in the schools of Chicago. On coming here he entered the employ of the Southern Pacific in whose service he is respected for his reliability. To Mr. Ralphe Porter, floral artist, is due credit for the beautiful arrangement of the wedding which was typically English, and which strikes a new note in weddings of folk of color in this city. The decorating and flowers also was of the Ralphe Porter florist shops. Prof. J. B. Jones, director of Wesley M. E. Choi led the Choir's singing of the morning. The beautiful rendition of the bridal chorus is to his credit. The smoothness of the ceremony was due to the clever manipulation of the pipe organ at the skilled finger of Mrs. Elizabeth Williams Bruce, organist at the Lincoln Theatre. Knights and Daughters Of Tabor The Knights and Daughters of Tabor, California and Arizona Jurisdiction, after a very successful and delightful Grand Session, held recently in San Diego, California, start another Taborian year, under the leadership of Sir W. L. Martin, as the Chief Grand Menter. Never in the history of the Order has there been a better Grand Session than the one last held There was a marked increase, not only in interest and finance, but in membership. The reports showed that the officers charged with the responsibility of administering the affairs of the Order, had done their duty well. The Burial Department, organized at the beginning, has met all its obligations, and reported a balance in its Treasury of two thousand dollars. The Death Benefit Department, organized in 1920, has paid on the average of fifteen claims per year at the rate of $300 per claim. With all claims paid up to date, this department reported a balance of five thousand dollars in its Treasury. This is no mean accomplishment for the brief time of its existence, for it started with nothing eight years ago. The Grand Lodge Treasury had a larger balance in its Treasury, after the obligations of the Grand Session were paid than ever before in its history. Thus there is in the various treasures of the Order balances that will aggregate more than seven thousand dollars. In addition to this the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, three years ago, purchased a piece of property on East 39th Stret, in which it has an equity of five thousand dollars. The address of the Chief Grand Menter, Sir T. B. Norman, setting forth the accomplishments of the Order, was a well written document, and showed his grasp of the affairs of the organization, and held before the assembled Taborians an ideal of service and accomplishment, that will serve as a rallying cry, for the year before us and the years to come. He turned over to his successor, an organization that was healthy, sound, and well able to carry on its work without the least bit of embarrassment. His administration was full of progressive action, and his program for the work of the Order a progressive one. In the service he rendered he has set a fine example for his successor. The numerical growth of the Order has been slow, but none the less permanent. There has been nothing spectacular about it, but the advances made have been satisfactory, and the positions taken, have been consolidated. Thus Tabor on the Coast presents a membership, including Sir Your opportunity to show your appreciation for a chance to appear as an integral part of the world's nations.

This is a remarkable development from the time of our beginning in the year 1915. In our recent session held in San Diego, in the new Baptist Church there, a spirit of harmony and co-operation existed that bids fair to carry the work of Tabor to new heights and to new accomplishments. The city did itself proud in its entertainment, and all the representatives left with the knowledge of the fact that this city by the sea, delightfully located as it rests on the lapped shore, had maintained its high standard of entertainment, for the stranger within its gates.

FOR ITS SINS OF OMISSION TOWARD THE BLACK MAN AT THE FORUM Last Sunday, Aug. 19, before one of the largest pre-election crowds to yet be assembled at the Forum, the Rev Mr. Emanuel Hall scathingly rebuked the Republican Party. His denunciation was evoked by the continued negligence of the party toward an unfortunate people. He told of the long holding in obeyance of enforcement agencies so necessary for suffering Black People in the South, after almost sixty years of continuous dominance. The fact that nearly 75% of the Colored people live below the Mason-Dixon line, and are, and have been, sorely in need of the enforcement of laws favorable to them, was also clearly pointed out, as also when he stated that he was one of the most whole-hearted supporters of the Democratic Candidate. Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York. Other subsequent speakers also added to the Rev. Doctor's remarks, urging all Black men to repudiate the G. O. P. and favor the Democratic Nominee, by way of expressing their indignation toward it, for its ingratiude. So it is said. THE FIRST A. M. E.

The trip made by Mr. J. O. Dudley and party is reported as being a very enjoyable and successful one. The party consisted of Dr. and Mrs. T. Kyle and two children; Mrs. J. C. Sheffield; Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Dudley. The destination was Vancouver, B. C. This indeed is a very beautiful city. It has Hollywood skinned compared with its beautiful homes and lawns. Every lawn is adorned with varieties of beautiful flowers. In touring the State of Washington, there were many things of interest to be seen; one of the most important was the Mt. Rainier National Park. The elevation is 14,480 feet and is covered with snow the year round. We hiked to a distance of 12,000 feet, where we gazed upon the many beautiful glaciers and other beauties of nature—flowers in bloom with ice and snow just beside them. Everything was seen here from a bear down to a grouch. Seattle with its many industries was also visited. This is a wonderful city and has too many beauties to mention. The State of Oregon with its cold spring water gashing forth everywhere was also visited with interest. Portland with its many busy factories was very interesting; there we found much pleasure in our trip. The Oregon caves which are located in th Southern-part of th State are caves that are worth visiting. They carried us down a depth of 1600 feet, and a distance of 3300 feet back in the caves. In there everything of interest was found. All kinds of foundations of nature were seen there. These being exact resemblances of natural things, all merely being formed by the crystallization of different alkali. These are really wonderful sights. The trip was made through in two hours. San Francisco, Oakland and many other cities of our State were also visited. We found them to be beautiful cities. The Red Wood State Park with its gigantic red wood trees was also visited with interest. In there we found the "Mother" and "Father" trees of the forest. They are not only huge in diameter but stately in height. The trip is reported as being enjoyed by each member of the party and much to talk about for some time. The trip was made in a Dodge car.

It left the gate wide open however for individuals to do so and the Supreme Court decisions merely say in effect that while City Councils and State Legislatures cannot pass ordinances limiting the plees where Negroes are to, live, yet individuals are free to do so either in their deeds or by neigh- borhood agreement. ¥ California is the otly state in the Bnion in which the unqualified right to buy and own property is @aved to Negroes by Supreme Court decisions This was won in the famous case of Title Guarantee and Trust Company against Homer Garrott, case _litigat- ed by ‘Attorney Tyler.

This time we wtll look into another angle of the food question. ‘We know it is best for both baby and mother, that she nurse it from her breast. "However, this fs not al- way possible. Some mothers have to jwork, others baven't the health to ‘carry it through and we are sorry to say Some are so much ashamed of ‘their motherhood that they won't nurse their babies. "We are going to make a statement which may seem blurt or even heart: less but maybe it will -make some ‘take notice to what they are doing. Many babies have béen killed by their mothers with careless feeding. Food containers are the most fre- quent cause of infection. We have seen mothers set their ‘babies nursing bottle in a window or on a table where it would set for an hour or two with files covering the nipple then refill this bottle using this contaminated nipple without even a thought of sterilization. Food for the baby should be fresh. ‘Stale food will cause cilic, diorrhea and undernourishment, But these are /aot the greatest danger from food which is not fresh. Decaying, or ev- jen slightly decaying food furnish a very satisfactory media for growth of germs. To illustrate this take this fact into consideration. Our bacteri- ologist tells us and can prove, we have germs of great many varieties in our bodies at all times. Do they always make uq sick? No. Now let one of our organs become under. nourished and start the least to de cay. what happens? Germs multiply in this tiseue sa fast we become sick. Another factor to think of is that this food containing germs is going the largest absorption atea of the body. Bq sure baby's food is clean, pure, and wholesome. TO, MISS ROBART Vv. ED.

The advent of industrial enterprises, provided they do not come too quickly, or before the community house has been placed in order, tends to stimulate, to a marked degree, home development. Several cities in this country, designed and maintained as strictly residence communities, on the outskirts of other larger centers, have capitalized this fact and have become, exclusively, home or residence districts to the exclusion of all commercial and industrial life. These cities in this country, designed and maintained as strictly residence communities, on the outskirts of other larger centers, have capitalized this fact and have become, exclusively, home or residence districts to the exclusion of all commercial and industrial life. These cities are little more than satellite cities, created as a result of the desire on the part of many who do business in a larger center to live in a residence community. LOS ANGELES IS SUCH A CITY. Los Angeles should, therefore, seek newcomers consideration given to prestige, good will, civic conditions. Communities that seek newcomers, now reside place their communities in order and keep them as der as possible all of the time.

It not this another phase of our local situatic serves the best thought of our people in its solution. Los Angeles should, therefore, seek newcomers with due consideration given to prestige, good will, civic and social conditions. Communities that seek newcomers, now residents, usually place their communities in order and keep them as nearly in order as possible all of the time. What is Los Angeles doing along these lines? Have we tried to check unfavorable tendencies that may retard out attractiveness as a residence city? Could we not give consideration to the staging of a better homes exhibit, annually? Might we not offer free service to small home owners, showing them how, for about the same financial outlay or less, they can construct a home that is artistic, modern in floor plan, and capable of being sold, later on, if necessary, at a better price? There are many valuable selling aids which we possess here in Los Angeles which should, play their part in residence development. These aids do not and should not interfere with the development of our commerce and our industry. Have we, here in Los Angeles given consideration to the appeal or the appeals which will create new residents for this wonderful city? Conventions will try any community once and they will not feel greatly disappointed if the things offered and promised are not delivered. One can be sure, however, that that particular convention gathering will not again visit the particular city for many years if the citizens fail in their promises. Tourists will pass and merely smile at bombastic claims which cannot be proven when once on the ground. Home seekers, new residents, are in earnest. They expect what is promised. A home builder depends upon what is offered to be as represented. If one disappoints him one makes unfriendly forever and a day someone who might have become a part and parcel of the community. If one's analysis of a community brings forth the fact that one of the chief objectives is the newcomer, then that objective should be promoted in earnest, on a sound economic basis. We must not overlook the fact that jobs and financial assistance will be vastly more important than climate and scenery in obtaining newcomers to Los Angeles. While these latter are desirable and often enjoyable, it is impossible to live on them as an exclusive diet. Communities that cannot offer tangible things cannot take care of more people and absorb them. It not this another phase of our local situation that deserves the best thought of our people in its solution?

Indeed, the interlocking relationships have become such a mazy network that it is not merely the adjacent nations on all sides which are affected by movement or movements of any given nation. But if one nation progresses, if it retrogrades, if it trembles with a convulsion, or expands with an effort or a development of any kind, all other nations, nearby and remote—even to the uttermost parts of the earth—are affected. If one country were the sole producer or source of one necessary commodity and some disaster should reduce that production to nothing or wipe out that source, when the distributed supply in other lands should become exhausted the world would be affected in business and in living conditions by the famine in that one commodity. And the same principle applies to nearly all articles of trade: Drought in areas in Asia has its effect on American business; a strike in England has its effect upon business in South America; legislation touching certain lines in America will mean much to Australia. The nations cannot live unto themselves—even in business. And through others interests the same principle holds with perhaps less tangible grip but with no less certainty of fact. This is a world of people of one race of humanity—an ever-shrinking world as measured by natural or invisible ties that bind the tribes of men together. --- If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened COMMENT BY: W. J. WHEATON San Francisco daily papers of Aug. 14th carry stories of the greatest political canard ever perpetrated on a gullible public: the attempt to wholesale the entire Race group of voters. The attempt is accredited to "Bob Church, Tenn., and Roscoe Simmons, Chicago, of the World—A Fraternal Organization—as a club to extract the plunder. It is one of the most pernicious of canards, as it virtually nullifies, not alone the fraternal principles of a benevolent organization, but stultifies a race. It, the story, shows how badly the race group is handicapped by unscrubulous paused leaders and to what extent they will go in the game of political banditry. According to the story appearing in the San Francisco Bulletin and the Scripps-Heward papers, it is alleged that Church and Simmons, who attended the notification of Hoover at Palo Alto, California, remained over the function to tell the candidate how loyal they were to his candidacy and how they would seek to stem the exodus of the Negro vote, but they feared that the throwing overboard of the political pirates of the South, who had been battering at the "pay me" counter for years, would embarrass them in their efforts. Then the "Halo of political Sanctity" effulges their brows and suavity and eloquence combine to throw a scarce bomb and stampede the elephant. 400,000. Just think of it! 400,000 men and women who had pledged their fealty to the fraternal ideals of Charity. Justice. Brotherly Love should so forget their "Fidelity" to these ideals as to allow themselves to be made cats' paws, not to pull chestnuts from the fire, but to line the pockets of fake race leaders with gold. Gold obtained by lowering the standing of a struggling people. No, Not! Not even the biggest foot will believe that. Some few years past when the professional political pie eaters commenced to fall over themselves to join the J. B. P. O. E. of W., the alarm was sounded. Using the "Little Corporal" as their camouflage, these "race loving" bunch of parasites laid their plans calmly. Believing this as the "accepted time" they march with boldness to the Chief of the Elephant herd and offer 400,000 trusting men and women for—How Much? If Hubert Work falls for such "Bunk" Hoover had better seek another Pilot, and if Herbert Hoover is so abstruse as to believe that there is any man or men who can lead into his.camp 400,000 men and women or keep them from going there if they want to go—we say! If Herbert Hoover believes any such an absurdity. He—Herbert Hoover—would be a misfit in the White House. But Mr. Hoover knows better; Hubert Work knows better and the veriest tyro in the political game knows that Roscoe Simmons could not carry five votes into any party with him much less influencing 400,000 men and women who represent the intelligence of the Negro race. Bob Church has a pull in Tennessee, and there it ends. Such tactics as were used by the "Dus" might work elsewhere than in California. Here we are playing the game for thq betterment of the mass. A selfish person has no place in the ranks, and chicatery and hypocryc soon find their level. It will be interesting to note what action the "Old Gand" of Elkdom will take when any attempt is made to inject politics in the deliberations. Will "Bill Morris; Armond Scott; Geo. McMichen; Geo. Bates; Harry Pace; Gill, Nutter and the men who nursed the Order in infancy; steered it through legal breakers and made personal sacrifice of and money, sit supinely by and allow fraternism to be subordinated to politics? We hope not. We believe not! Down in Birmingham, Alabama, Resolutions asking the Democrats of Alabama, vote against Gov. Smith, Democratic presidential nominee to preserve white supremacy in the South were adopted. This "white supremacy" idea seems to have gained precedence over every other. It has subordinated religion and even prohibition, in such fear is the white man of the South in losing his supremacy. Supremacy in what? If he has any supremacy it must be that of intolerance, with its accompanying companion vices, viciousness and disregard of law. Any any rate the supremacy must be on a toterting throne, when having the possession of all the shot guns, rope, and other deadly means of maintaining it, they fear its fall. the erection of Boulder Canyon Dam is the paramount issue in California politics. It is also a nation-wide issue. The bill sponsored in Congress by representative Swing and Senator Hiram Johnson cannot be successfully carried through without a sympathetic administration to aid it. There must not be any evasion of the subject. There cannot be any toying with the "Power Trusts." The issue is clearcut, and it is a clear "Yes or No." Senator Johnson has entered the campaign with a promise to support Herbert Hoover for the presidency. Senator Johnson has fought doggedly for the passage of the Boulder Dam bill. Against the greatest odds he has so manouvered it that consideration will be made the first order of business. Of course we are going to send both the Senator and the Congressman back to finish the job. The voters of California will show their appreciation by giving them the compliment of overwhelming majorities. The call has been issued for a special session of the California Legislature. Gov. C. C. Young has designat ed the date in September. That will be after the date set for the Primary elections and none of the fellows will have a chance to play politics. The session will be very short, probably one day will suffice to place the Tax Amendment on the November bulbitt. If one can gauge the popularity of a candidate by the encomiums, surely representative Chas. Curry is popular. All ranks join in singing his praise. Well, he has been on the square with all. Never promising that which he deemed impossible, and always doing that which he promised. The month of September will start the Democrat "Donkey" and the Republican "Elephant" in the presidential marathon which will end at twilight November 6th. The sponsors, as usual, are claiming that their favorite is "already in." We predict a rough road and tiresome travelling for both. They are being equipped for a strenuous journey and the mangers are being well filled. Judge Georgia Bullock --- Judge Georgia Bullock, who comes before the voters at the Primary election Tuesday, August 28th, as a candidate for the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Office No. 3, has established a splendid record to recommend her for the earnest consideration of the people. Probably no other member of the judiciary has a better foundation of legal training and experience as a qualification for the bench than has Judge Bullock. During all her career, both as an attorney and as a member of the judiciary, Judge Bullock, firm in her viewpoint of "justice for all" has won and held the confidence of thousands of citizens. Her candidacy for election to the Superior Court Bench has the support of the forward-thinking man and women of Los Angeles County, who recognize in Judge Bullock those qualifications of courage, integrity and pudi cial temperament and experience which are essential to this important office. Santa Monica News BY: SMILEY KING Thursday, August 16th, a wennie Bake was given by the Literary Society of the First C. M. E. Church of Santa Monica in honor of Miss Thelma Fletcher. The attendance was large and everyone reported an enjoyable evening. As the guests of Mrs. J. Allen Reese of Venice, Misses Elizabeth, Lucy Louise, and Mrs. Lucy Jackson and daughter, Miss Blanche Jackson, all of Chicago Illinois, have recently spent several enjoyable weeks in Southern California. They were entertained by friends, and also spent some time seeing the beauty of the State. Mr. W. Ivory has just purchased a new Bulck Coupe. Mrs. John Vernon of Los Angeles is spending her summer vacation at the beach. Mrs. Selena C. Brunson who has been ill for some time, recently enjoyed a visit from her brother, Mr. E. B. McDonald, of Standford University. Mr. McDonald is Superintendent of Building and grounds of that institution. His visit was a complete surprise for his sister, whom he had not seen in thirteen years. THE CHAOS OF MAN Vernon E. S. Brunson A whirling, surging, grasping mass That calls itself humanity, A throng that only knows to grasp Selal all that eyes can see. Leaving no stone or root unturned In a lust for earthly gain Hoarding, having all, and yet they yearn— Knowing not their toll is vain. Up they come from cradle's birth Fighting, cursing, rushing on In their lust for all on earth— Short their time then they are gone— Leaving nothing but ruin behind; A battered earth lies in their wake, And God stoops down, the wounds to bind, To fill the crack and mend the break Where e'er this grasping mass in- came The trees are withered, the rivers dry This awful mob with iron heel tramps Destroying, crushing—all must die. Trampling the, weaker under foot— Ruthless, pausing only for breath— Joy-mad, wealth-mad, God forsook They rush over life's brief span to death. THE BROADWAY Wood Wilson, well known and popular among all classes, formerly of the 74th. District, wants all of his friends to know that he strongly indorses J. B. Bass for the Assembly. He says that the people are due for a change and that Mr. Bass will bring about a new deal in political endeavor all for the benefit of the people of his district, and the entire state as well. ON THE SIDEWALK (Continued from page 1) (Continued from page 1) ous culture that some admire, but do not understand, but with a background of good common sense. Joseph B. Bass with his open mind and charitable mein towards all, seeks to enter the Legislative Hall of this State, with the hope that he shall be one of the instruments that will mold a newer re-habilitated governmental administration for California that will include in its program of justice within the law, all people—Black or White. So friends and foes, with neither favor nor prejudice, help elect JOSEPH B. BASS to the Assembly and a new deal! CLARIFYING THE ISSUE At this period in the political campaign, we are apt to lose our bearings and make, what is apparently, a fight among each other. I wish to make it clear that what I have said in reference to any of my people has been solely for the purpose of clarifying the situation and helping us to realize that there is a type of "so-called leaders" that must be eliminated if we are to achieve the recognition that is due us. It is a task that most men refuse to grapple with, but since I am here and attempting to do the work for my group that will make a better place for our children, I have no alternative but to expose the crookedness of those who would rob the unborn of their rights as American citizens. It is in no sense a personal matter. I have supported Mr. Shaw after long and careful thought, and, in spite of the many good qualities of his opponent, I believe the best interest of our group is with his candidacy of Frank L. Shaw, and I am not among those who are being paid so much per week for their belief. It is charged that if Shaw was elected Colored people would have no standing in Civil Service. Investigations will prove that to be false. We invite anyone to study the Lindey boy's case in the engineering department. He is there today because Frank Shaw was determined to see that justice would be done and that Civil Service would mean what it says. To my mind, the future of our group and what we hope to accomplish is essentially more important than what has been done in the past. There are many situations that could be relieved and I believe that Frank Shaw as supervisor will make the improvement. Therefore I have endorsed Shaw. (Signed) Dr. H. CLAUDE HUDSON.

"If Cruz Beat Evans Is He Equal to La Barba?" Ask Main Street Fans Johany Cruz, who recently beat Huerta Evans as easily as did Pidel La Barba and who also won from Young Imperial, has been matched with Claud Varner for the semi-final bout on next Saturday night's program at the Main Street Athletic Club. George Reed to Return To Legitimate Stage Mr. George Reed, after attaining the highest degree of success before the camera is strongly considering returning to the spoken drams. Before his advent into the motion picture field, Mr. Reed was known the breadth of the land as a character actor of the first water. Probably the enthusiasm is occasioned by the wife interest for the coming of the Lafayette Players. Be that as it may, Mr. Read is well known by these trumpet and if they are in need of a jam-up character actor in any of their plays, they will do well to look him up. STAR ICE CREAM CO. INDEPENDENT (In the Syracuse Journal, Aug. 4th) Proving once more to Syracuse fight fans that he is one of the cleverest boxers in the lightweight division. Baby Joe Gans, Pacific Coast star, scored a well-earned victory over Joe Trabon, Kansas City slugger, last night at the Arena. Boxing as easily as though he were in the gymnasium, Gans went out in the first round and started giving Trabon a boxing lesson the latter should long remember. While Trabon was doing the leading, Gans was picking off his punches with his arms and at the same time was shooting rights and lefts to Trabon's head and body, and the latter did not land a solid blow in the first few rounds. Former Tennis Stars To Appear for National Tournament (B. A. P. P.) Bordentown, N. J., Aug. 15. According to E. Harold Hopper, representative of the New Jersey Tennis Association, the entries of Dr. O. B. Williams, Chicago; Edgar Brown, former national champion of St. Louis, and E. H. Simmons, the Dayton, Ohio, contender, for the national tennis championships to be played here, have all been received. Neither Brown, Williams, or Simmons, all of whom have been ranked in the first ten for many years, has appeared for a national tournament for several years and their presence this year is taken to indicate increased interest in the singles competition. The tournament will begin at ten o'clock Monday, August 20th. (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., Aug. 10—Struck over the hears by a bat as he stood watching a baseball game, Marshall Milamez, 19, was killed instantly, when the bat slipped from the hands of Robert Manuel, hitting Marshall on the left side of the chest.

NEW ALL NEGRO FILM RE-LEASED (By The Associated Negro Press) Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 10.—Viewed by some of the ablest white and colored critics of the city the new film story featuring the well-known actor Clarence Brooks was given a preview at the new Lincoln Theatre, a few nights ago, and pronounced a wonderful story, well acted. Mr. Brooks is supported by George Reed, Virgil Owens, Miss Rosa Lee Lincoln, well-known winner in a beauty contest. Mr. Floyd Shackleford, well-known local player, carries a prominent part. The film is owned and controlled by the Lincoln Motion Pictures Company. With Paramount's sensational picture, "Porgotten Faces" as the starter for the Metropolitan Theatre's share in the promotion of Greater Movie Season, Manager Gus S. Eyssell announces a follow-up of bookings which include the most outstanding productions of 1928-29. A few of these pictures, many of which will be based as well as seen on the screen of the Met, are as follows: "The Midnight Taxi," another Warner Brothers Vitaphone special; "Loves of an Actress," starring Pola Negri; "The River Pirate" with Victor MacLaglen; "The Mating Call" starring Thomas Metghan; "Docks of New York," Paramount's much heralded picture starring George Bancroft; and "The Fleet's in" with the fiery little "It" girl, Clara Bow in the starring role. "Forgotten Faces" the picture which opens at the Metropolitan Friday, Aug. 17, with Greater Movie Season, is hailed as a masterpiece! The story is of the present day. The theme is big and emotional, daling with the sacrifice of a "Lifter" to save his daughter from disgrace and ruin. It has a strange, novel twist and a surprise finish, a swift, startling denouement to a cruel, yet tender, drama. Olive Brook, Mary Brian, Baclanova, William Powell, Fred Kohler and Jack Luden, head the list of talen in the all-star cast. "Kalix Knackos" is the Publix Stage presentation which shares honors, with "Forgotten Faces." Winfred and Mills, Negro comedians, and The Pasquali Brothers, sensational acrobats, are the outstanding features of this show. Phile Lampkin is the new master of ceramies, and Eddie Maghill, the popular megaphone songster enters into his fourteenth consecutive week at the Met. Horse In Movie Stunt (By The Associated Negro Press) Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 10 - Tom Farrell, well-known among screen actors, was slightly injured when a horse that the actor was riding in a picture being filmed at See-Art Studio, lurched, causing him to fall. Tom claims that since there were 13 of the boys employed as riders, that must have been the thirteenth. Well, he is not so unlucky after all. The other twelve will receive as scheduled only one day's pay, while Tom will be compensated as long as he is indisposed.

"LEST WE FORGET" is the heading of an advertisement appearing elsewhere in this paper, containing a copy of the resolution of the Baptist Ministerial Union endorsing Judge William C. Doran for re-election to the Superior Court bench, a position which he has occupied for the past six years. The Baptist Ministers in regular session at the St. Paul Baptist Church, 21st and Naomi, Monday, unanimously endorsed Judge Doran ```markdown ``` Page- Two "LEST WE FORGET" is the appearing elsewhere in this par resolution of the Baptist Minister William C. Doran for re-election position which he has occupied forist Ministers in regular session 21st and Naomi, Monday, unan for re-election. Pointing out that Judge Doran, when Chief Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County, performed a service for our group that shall not be forgotten, the ministers adopted a resolution renewing their expression of gratitude and appreciation, and pledging their faith in Judge Doran, and earnestly urging his re-election. Judge Doran is being opposed by Mrs. BuHock who is now judge of the Municipal Court. Mrs. Bullock has done considerable carvassing among our people, but has failed to inform them that she is opposing Judge Doran, and that her election means Judge Doran's defeat. The ministers took the position that if Judge Doran is elected Mrs. Bullock will still retain her position as Municipal Judge, and that it would not only be unjust but a distinct act of ingratiation for our people to forsake Judge Doran after this aplendid service and the courageous stand he took against the greatest menace of our race, the Ku Klux Klan. In the resolution passed by the ministers they remind the people of Judge Doran's candidacy and pay him a high tribute recognizing in him a genuine benefactor and urging his re-election. POLITICAL POT PIE Reve Houck of the Metro Goldwyn Co. Culver City, looms up as the best bet as the candidate for Supervisor from the 4th. Supervisorial district. His firm stand for the square deal for all people, has gained for him the endorsement of the voters from all sections of his district and all classes as well. Judge William T. Aggler who has made such an enviable record upon the Superior Court bench, is receiving a genuine and hearty support from all classes of our citizenry for re-election. An editor right at our door has departed from the path of rectitude and is stooping down to pick up small town "Stuff" as a weapon in his contest for favor, and right at this juncture is where we draw the line. We refer to the veiled paragraph in the last issue of his paper about what he refers to, about a bill being introduced at one of the sessions of the Assembly in reference to Mr. Bass. If our Assemblyman would but stand up as editor Bass did on that occasion, he would have made a record worth while. Speaking further about names we refer him to Chairman Hawkins as to the source, from which they were published. Judge William C. Doran occupies an available place in the hearts of the Colored people as a result of his vigorous and all but single handed suecestful fight against the Ku Klux Klan while deputy prosecutor under that fearless and matchless leader, the late Thos. Lee Woolwine. It is predicted that he will receive a solid support from sill who know him and who stand for a real and undefiled Americanism.

This is to advise you that during your period of greatest advancement in County work, he was not even a member of the County Board of Supervisors. It was prior to his administration, and while I was Supervisor for the Second District that the members of your race were admitted to the County Hospital as nurses, and to the position of Head Custodian for County Buildings; this is the only Department in the County that is supervised by one of your people. The efficiency shown by your girls in the County service has removed all opposition to them. The same is true of Mr. Robinson, serving as Head Custodian of County Buildings.

The Gate City Cyclone fought a masterful battle throughout to take the eight round nod. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way with things reaching the highest point in fifth round, when Jimmy dropped Ramas for a five-count. After being dropped the little Brown Boy from Panama came back in the sixth to try to even things up but the Gate City was just too much. Black has one of the prettiest left hands seen in many moons and he can sock with that right; I mean. The boy also uses his head to a good advantage. I don't mean taking lots on the button, but using his brains. His manager Ed. Duvall has several good matches lined up for his protege. On Friday the 17th, Jimmy fights Jackie Spencer in a ten-round bout at El Centro, and on the 29th Black fights the main event at Wilmington against Goldie Hess. This will make the second match that has been lined up for Jimmy against Hess. The boys were due to tangle at Ocean Beach several weeks ago, but Hess took a run-out pill at the last minute. Keep an eye on this "Gate City Kid," he's going great guns and it won't be long before he's on in a good bout at the Olympic. We happened down to the Orange Belt Club, to look ever Mike Arnold, the Frisco heavyweight who is fighting Neil Clisby at San Bernardino as we go to prss and was impressed very favorably. If Neil is feeling the least bit indifferent Thursday night, as he can feel sometimes, he is in for a trimming. But if Clisby fights as he can fight he will take Arnold with ease. Dempsey's "Big Fight" To Be Ring Fight New York.—Jack Dempsey has signed a contract with Tex Rickard, promoter, to fight the winner of the heavyweight elimination tournament which will decide the successor to Gene Tunney, according to a story printed in the New York Daily News. "Tenderfeet" Has Preview at Forum Theatre ALL-COLORED CAST FILM SCORES BIG HIT PRODUCERS FROM MAJOR STUDIOS It got over, men! Well do we know the joy that announcement will bring to those who have long waited the outcome of this picture. "Tenderfeet," the all-colored cast film, made here in Los Angeles, made a decided hit in its preview. This picture was written and directed by one of our group. Gentle Reader, allow me to bring forth one of the "boyes" who has achieved something quite unusual. In one master stroke, Mr. Spencer Williams has made the grade as a director and scenarist. The procuring of the Forum Theatre for a preview, especially for a picture of this kind, was a stroke of fortune. Here, located in the heart of a district of comfortable living people, and with a house that seats 3000 which was packed, 99% white, one could get the proper reaction of a white audience to a colored picture. If their approval means anything—which it does—it is a success. We can expect the major studios now to cast about to find stories about colored people and rush a few pictures on the market. They have foreseen the marketable value of them. Their business is to supply the markets with film. You can bet they will. That will give plenty of us a break. The finance for Mr. Williams's next picture is already in his hands. He'll start shooting soon. INTERVIBITATIONAL MUSICALE First A. M. E.

The title of "Rain" is derived from the incessant downpour, clearly discernible by the audience as it drips, splashes and pours from the roof of the visible porch of the hotel where the scene is laid. The scene is the boarding house of Joe Horn, an American from Chicago, and his native wife, Ameena, at Pago Pago, Tutuilla, one of the many islands at the port of call between San Francisco and Sydney. In other words in the South Sea. Here the steamer discharges a sister of the underworld from Honolulu. She is down on her luck, but is full of good cheer. She meets and becomes friends at once with some Marines, but runs afoul of a sort of Pilgrim Father Missionary. Owing to a case of cholera on the steamer they a remain on the island for six days, and owing to, the rain they must remain indoors for this length of time. That was the undoing of them all. The Missionary, with boasted political power, brings the poor girl to the verge of meditation by his persecutions, ending by a deportation order being issued by the Governor at the request of this Missionary. He plans to send the girl back to San Francisco from which city she escaped before while still under indictment after a "frame up." The girl pleads to no good purpose and the persecution is so seyere that she finally succumbs to the "reform" desired by the Missionary. She reforms sincerely bu, the bigoted Missionary, suffering from sex repression, finds vent for her libido* by a forceful entry into her bedroom. This works her undoing, and with disappointment that he is no better than the others, she falls back to the easiest way and the missionary cuts his throat with a razor. Here is real drama and real novelty, real interest and real excitement. Reserved Seats now on sale. Box Office open from 10 A. M.

C., Aug. 10.—As she held down her gavel, "with the same dignity as she picked it up four years ago," Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, retiring President of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, rendered a report of her stewardship for four years traught with accomplishments and advance and suggested a program which would mean further expansion and more effective work of the organization. Pointing out the program which was adopted four years ago at Chicago, and again approved at Los Angeles, Mrs. Bethune outlined how that program had been proclaimed to the letter and the effect it had upon the general progress of the Association, which celebrated its 12nd birthday here last week, in the city of its birth. Most conspicuous among the many accomplishments according to Mrs. Bethune's report, is the establishment of national headquarters. The organization authorized the expenditure of $50,000 for this purpose, but through the business capacity of those selected by the president, to select the site, including Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. George E. Williams, and Miss Nannie Burroughs, a suitable site was secured for $25,000. This new acquisition on the part of the Association was dedicated as one of the features of the biennial session which has been in session for a week. Under Mrs. Bethune's administration the membership has been increased, new departments added, and a scholarship fund initiated. In suggesting a program for the future, Mrs. Bethune urged that the scholarship fund be pushed to completion in a systematic manner and "that the fund begin to operate immediately. She further advocated the appointment of efficient organizers to visit the various local, state, and regional organizations and perfect the publicity that has been given our work through the Negro press and that we pledge them our continued and larger support and co-operation." A financial program was also suggested which would make the national and its various branches more substantial. Spend Your Vacation at Slaughter Apt.

She closed her remarks by presenting Mrs. Bethune with a huge banquet of flowers. PICKENS ADDRESSES MEETING One of the features of the meeting, and there were many, was the address delivered Tuesday evening by William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dean Pickens' address in part was as follows: "One of the largest and most effective organizations in the country is the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. It is effective because colored women can surpass any other element in the country in the amount of use which they can make a dollar serve. Through the colored woman the American dollar reaches its highest value in work done. "These 'clubs' of the colored women very seldom function merely for the social pleasure of their members; they generally aim at services to others, working girls, orphan children, students, and other strugglers. Men's clubs often exist merely to make it pleasant for their members to smoke and drink and gossip, but the women's organizations have at least some additional purposes. "That the national organization of these clubs needs a national headquarters can be conceded without argument. It would be a useless waste of words to proceed on the assumption that anybody needed to be convinced of that. "There are some close relationships between the N. A. C. W. C. and N. A. A. C. P. In the first place, these women who work so effectively in their own organizations, have also supplied the most effective workers for the national defense of colored people. Also the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has a special bearing on the welfare of colored women. The Association's fight against degrading intermarriage laws, for example, has not been made for the purpose of promoting interracial marriage or for promoting any marriage at all, but for the purpose of protecting colored women against legal discriminations and from being made legitimate and public prey by the males of a stronger group. Such discriminations bear on the females of the weaker group, and are mostly meant for that purpose. Such laws offer immunity to the rich and powerful. They never protect the weak. "It is to the eternal credit of colored men of America that they are opposed to such legal discriminations. It shows that Negro men have no fear of the competition of white men. It is a queer anomaly that white men, who are solely responsible for practically all interracial mixture, are the ones opposed to the liberty of marriage, while colored men, who have stayed in their own back yard, are sincerely opposed to artificial and discriminatory interference."

You have hewn the wood And drawn the water, Since ages can remember— Through centuries you come, Toil worn and weary, Enslaved, beaten, and trodden under. Your hands have nursed the sons of many nations, And have lain the stones of mighty cities, gone— You remain to remember. The deeds you've wrought Men have not recorded But God has written them In the blood of martyrss Who died in chains of bondage— Be patient, oh men, Whose fingers are worn with the toil From which others profit. Be patient, the God to whom you pray is just The wrong is of his making For a purpose yet unfolded. You are favored but see it not; Look back o'er the road of yesterday: Others have sank in dim oblivion, You served them, they are gone— And you remain to build a nation. For many long centuries the lessons have been taught— The end is near— Cannot you see its coming: The race of the masters die, The slaves live on, Growing, ever growing, Wiser and more strong. The others time upon the stage of ages Is soon to end— You are marching on In the great parade of ages. God's hand has written in blood Your history on time's pages. Long hath you prayed. Oh men of toil unto your God: The answer to your prayer is com- ing— Though rough the path you've trod. It leads unto great for unequaled --- By those who have swung the lamb Against your maked shoulders . . . Oh men of patient! You have marched well in the van of time. From joyly staited—like children, important and fearful— You have ascended. Into the present heights; You have learned and blessed in the life around you— And short the time— Those whom you once called, "Marsel" Don't feel their power was— It is the prophecy of God; The prayers of the multitudes of ages. ages, Gone, and how Shall have not been said in vain.

CALIFORNIA EAGLE SECOND SECTION ```markdown ``` Colored People Awaken Hasten To Express Their Determination To Pay Debt Of Gratitude To Their Friends M. Standing out in the front rank is the Hon. Judge Wm. C. Doran, judge of the Superior Court, office No. 3. Among those endorsing Judge Doran for the office as judge, is the Baptist Ministers' Alliance, who, in part, says: "LEST WE FORGET "Los Angeles, Calif., August 13, 1928. "WHEREAS, Judge William C. Doran, Judge of the Superior Court, is a candidate for re-election, and "WHEREAS, Judge Doran, when Chief Deputy District Attorney of Los Angeles County, prosecuted the Ku Klux Klan, invaded their offices, secured their membership lists and published the names of the members of the Ku Klux Klan, and by his vigorous prosecution of this menace to our people performing a service for us for which we have been and still are sincerely grateful, and "WHEREAS, six years ago we gave Judge Doran our unanimous support at this election, as an expression of our gratitude and appreciation, "NOW THEREFORE, we again re-new this expression of appreciation and gratitude and pledge our faith in him by unanimously endorsing the candidacy of Judge William C. Doran for Judge of the Superior Court (Dept. No. 3) and pledge him our support, earnestly urging all of our people to do likewise. "(Signed) THE BAPTIST MINISTERIAL UNION, "By: W. H. M. Dickerson, President. "By: L. M. Curtia, Secretary." By: W. H. M. Dizzerob, President. By: L. M. Curtis, Secretary. And further reminds us that Judge Doran is being opposed by Mrs. Bullock who is now judge of the Municipal Court. Mrs. Bullock has done considerable canvassing among our people, but has failed to inform them that she is opposing Judge Doran, and that her election means Judge Doran's defeat. The ministers took the position that if Judge Doran is elected Mrs. Bullock will still retain her position as Municipal Judge, and that it would not only be unjust but a distinct act of ingratiation for our people to forsake Judge Doran after this splendid service and the courageous stand he took against the greatest menace of our race, the Ku Klux Klan. In the resolution passed by the ministers they remind the people of Judge Doran's candidacy and pay him a high tribute recognizing in him a genuine benefactor and urging his re-election. Among other organizations sharing the opinion with the Ministers' Alliance, is the California Citizens Civic League of Ley Angeles, Cal., the California Civic League of Monrovia, the Eastside Independent League, the Colored Women's Business League, the Eastside Progressive League, the U. V. R.'s Unit No. 112, the Federated Voters' League, and many private prominent citizens, among whom is Mrs. Lula Slaughter, prominent club, woman, Dr. Hugh A. Bell, Atty. E. C. Jennings, and others; all of whom urge the election of Judge Wm. C. Doran to the office of judge of the Superior Court, office No. 3. Kansas Watching Bass Campaign Says Stella Stokes Kansas Watching Bass Campaign Says Stella Stokes That the state of Kansas watches closely over the careers of its native sons is again evidenced by the interest held in the present race of Hone J. B. Bass for a seat in the Assembly of his adopted State of California. This was revealed in a letter from Miss Stella Mae Stokes who holds the honors of being the first colored girl secretary to the State Auditor at Toreka, the capitol. This being the home town of Bass who has had a remarkable career in California as editor of its largest newspaper and a leader in affairs beneficial to the race, local citigens have been anxious to learn just what his home folks think of the man. Miss Stokes writes that not only in Topeka, but throughout the State the Kansans, both black and white, are vividly scanning all news that comes ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read---THE ORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened from here, concerning the progress of his race for State honors. She states that this is not only due to the fact that he is a former Kansan but the main planks of his platform if finally brought to a fruition would be a splendid example to be followed in theirs or any other State where there is a large group of race citizens. The planks mentioned are the plans that the prospective Assemblyman has made that while representing the general public in his district (the 74th) he will keep a close watch on affairs concerning his own Race. Through unconcern or fear it is a farger fact that in most all states the Negro group reaps less economic benefits than even non-citizen groups basking in the sun of the nation's prosperity. Local citizens complain that the present incumbent Fred Roberts has through the ten years of his office overlooked opportunities to benefit his own group although there would have been no opposition from other groups to needed reforms. Citizens of Kansas and other States are also interested in tha fact that the city's most representative organizations have fully endorsed Mr. Bass.

Coming from Miss Stokes the assurance of the Kansas moral support has double significance because of its reliability. In her brief career (she is now only 23) she has played a very important part in the political affairs of the State and has gained recognition from its highest officials. Only recently she sat next to Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., at a State banquet and assisted just last week with the preparation for the official notification to Charles Curtis of his nomination as Vice-Presidential candidate. Yong Men's Civic Association That the Negro secure his just allocation in state labor was the issue for discussion at the dinner given by the Young Men's Civic Association, a body of college students, who are striving to promote a better understanding of civic problems and to elevate the moral and intellectual ideals as a basis of good citizenship in the community at the third dinner of a series being given at HOTEL SOMERVILLE, 11st and Central Ave., one of the latest and best equipped race hotels in the city. The dinner was well attended by prominent men and women of both races. The principal speaker, Mr. Lew Head, eminent authority on labor problems, contributor to 18 newspapers and several magazines of nation wide circulations spoke on labor and politics. "Labor," averred Mr. Head, "has a potential balance of power and should be organized toward that end. The Negro holds a similar balance of power to swing any election his way if he would only organize both his numbers and resources. The other speakers were Hon. Edwin P. Hahn, Judge of the Superior Court, who spoke on Juvenile Delinquency; Senator Lewis on Taxation; Councilman Frank L. Shaw of Los Angeles; Mayor Reve Houck of Culver City on his Supervisorial Platform; and our own J. B. Bass, brilliant editor of the race weekly—California Eagle. The cardinal principles which Mr. Bass brought to the organization were: 1. Do Something; 2. Be Something; 3. Have Something. M. H. An advocate of progressive legislation, including proposed changes in the special assessment improvement laws, an establishment of a merchant marine training school at the harbor and the Boulder Dam project, Harrison Cassell, attorney, is making a strong battle for the Thirty-first District Republican Senatorial nomination primary. Mr. Cassell, who has for many years been active in Los Angeles business, legal, and civic affairs, is keenly interested in the special assessment problem, he says, and declares that legislation should be enacted to require the entire city to bear the burden of major improvements instead of the city paying only a minor share of the cost of such improvements and local improvement districts the balance. Among the organizations which have indorsed Mr. Cassell are: Organized Labor, Los Angeles County Council United Veterans of the Republic, Municipal League, Los Angeles Civic League, Public Service League, Southern California Retail Grocers Association, East Side Republican Club, Peoples' Protective Association, the "Big Four" Railway Brotherhoods and the War Veterans League.

Montgomery, candidate for Superior Court Office 13, where he is now incumbent, has received the following endorsers: Dr. Leslie E. Leaned, rector Episcopal Church, Pasadena; Reverend D. Merle N.

POLITICAL POT PIE Even though the "New Age Dispatch" came forth with its announcement of a 30-minute straw vote with amazing results to its editor. We offer the real vote on next Tuesday. This is our desire despite the fact that another straw vote in scattered locations taken by a disinterested party unfolded a vote for Bass 222. Roberts 106. Judge Wm. T. Agzler, despite the attack upon the candidates endorsed by the Bar Association bids fair to get a most hearty support from all classes. We can certainly give to him full credit as a fair and square jurist and worthy indeed of the consideration of the voters. With the nomination of Bass as a surety there will come forth a new and progressive deal for our group in the days to come. All of the double-crossers in politics are past numbers and as they are found out become the most despised creatures which exist. Judge Wm. Doran has just started to run. The last reports are to the effect that everybody is getting on the Doran band wagon. A. J. Haynes and N. L. Montgomery in charge of campaign headquarters for Unit No. 112 U. V. R. located at 1948 Central Ave., are rendering trojan service for the soldier boys and are the right men in the right place. C. H. Alston, the old war horse, is on his mettle and coming down the stretch in a rush to cross the line a winner in the 73rd District. It looks like Buron Fitts will give his opponent a real fit on next Tuesday. With the primaries out of the way next Tuesday, the big time show will move in and the Hoover and Curtis adbernants will cross bats and go down the line to meet the cohorts of Governor Al Smith, whom, they say, is wringing wet.

ANGELES NEWS---CLUB DOINGS -:- CHURCH AFFAIRS - SOCIAL Page—Ten THE NEGRO AND POLITICS - There is no question of National life which more generally affects the Ne- gro than politics and yet there is no national question in which the Ne- gro seems to be so little interested. Various excuses are offered for this seeming state of lethergy and spirit of indifference. Some seem to think that one is committing a great sin or wrong when they become active in politics or take any part in such mat- ters, ‘The sooner*we as a people real- ize that the ballot ts the most formi- Gable weapon the Negro has at his command for fighting his own battle in the strugele for Citizen's rights the better off we will be as a race. ‘We talk about our rights guaran: teed as under the constitution but there is bat one time that the Negro enjoys these rights to the fullest ex- ten as any other citizen and that Is when he goes to the ballot box to cast his ballot. This is one time when all American citizens are on an equality. ‘The most humble Negro’s vote if properly marked counts just as much as the vote of the President of the United States. .It does seem that such an honor conferred upon all American citizens alike should be of sufficient importance to cause anyone to register and to vote, The Ne gro who fails to take advantage of this opportunity to exercise his rights as a citizen fails to fully appreciate the value of his citizenship. ‘There never was a time when the Negro vote was more sought after than today and there never was a time when the Negro. through the proper. use of the ballot was in a po- sition to help himself and throw off the shackled of political serfdom than in this year of nineteen tyenty eight. Let the Negro arise and cast aside his prejudices and preconceived ideas about what he calls politics and regis. ister and then go to the pools and sabe. The Negro As An Eco- nomic “Asset There seems to be a disposition on the part of some people to regard the Negro as an economic lability rather than an economic asset. They seent to think that because most, of the Ne- groes are laborers and must work for someone else that he bas little or no claim to a share of the economic prosperity of the community and therefore should only expect such and menial positions as others do not want or will not accept. ‘This view 1s entirely unjustified when we consider that the people who work are the real producers of wealth, and since a large majority of Negroes are labor- ers they contribute materially to the wealth of the community. They also contribute to the wealth of the com- munity in that ninety-nine cents out of each dollar they earn is spent in the immediate localities where they live, and this goes to build factories establish business and support Indus- tries, Being a true American citizen he believes in spending his money at home and building up industries in his own country rather than sending it out of the country to7build up indus- tries in some foreign “land, as do those of many other groups. Why should the Negro then be looked upon as a parasite on American” Civillza- tion rather than an integral part of the business life and economic progress of this country and why should all other people from other lands many of whom have little or no Interest in this country except what they can get out of it, and yet they are given better positions, paid bigher wages and offered larger cpportunities than the Negro. Should the Negro then not expect a fairer deal from those who represent the employer class than {8 given him today? Indeed should he not demand a larger share of the profits of his la. bor. When the American people are fal ly awakened to the fact of the value of the Negro as an economig asset in this country he will no longer be con- ; Dr. Chas. A.

These two premier artists have taken an especial interest in the girl who is still in High School and are grooming her in the intricacies of stage work. With opportunities for colored actors rapidly increasing, she with natural talent and their guidance will advance rapidly to stardom with its attendant fame and fortune. Miss Whaley is heart and soul, in her chosen profession and will be with her instructors in their new show opening soon. She has already been quite successful in a few local appearances. In addition to her stage talents she is also of an athletic turn playing third base on the champion Babe's East Siders.

Jessie Rayford, Manual Arts Sprinter, in Next Olympics There will be at least one colored "Sunkist Maid" particiating in the Olympic Games which will be held here in 1932 marking the first time in history that this great event highly coveted by the world's options is to be held in America. This feminine aspirant for athletic honors which won will bring credit to the race is Miss Jessie Rayford, who resides with her parents on the West Side. Jessie is a very pretty girl, devoted to athletic sports. She is a very proficient student of Manual Arts High School, and in addition to her studies has gone in for track and field, to the extent that she is one of the best girl athletes in the city. Jessie drew a deal of attention last Decoration Day at the "Y. B. A. L." track meet when she won a medal for winning the broad jump with leap of 15 feet, and doing the 75 yard dash in 10:50 seconds. She has frequently been close to equalling the world's record in various events in which she participated. She intends to devote her time till 1932 to perfection on the 100-yard Dash and the Broad Jump. She is of a slender, boyish build, possessing a world of energy and enthusiasm, and bids fair to have her name on the honor roll of winners in the next Olympiad. Baby Wiggins Wins S. S.

John Walker and Edward EDITED BY HARRY LEVETTE LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1928 Right here among us there is a youngster who has both the name and characteristics of old Joe Jeanette. He is called Young Jeanette, the son of W. M. Fambro, well known head of the Independent Tire Co. Alvin Moses, famous Sports writer in the Associated Press tells of a great battle between Jeanette and Sam McVey back in 1909 on account of which he called Jeanette the Iron Man. He says: "Joe Jeanette, idol of Hoboken, N. J., was rated one of the toughest men the boxing racket has even known. His numerous battles with Al Kubiak, Tony Ross, Jack Johnson and Sam Langford earned for him the sobriquet of "Iron Man." "Starting the 49th, and final round of the fight, McVean tottered off his stool, his right eye closed tighter than a welsh flare drum. "Well, Joe, he exclaimed. "You just ain't human; you're the better man." Jeanette promptly collapsed after getting to his dressing room, for even an iron man couldn't very well stand up under 21 knock-downs." For grit, determination, and the habit so discouraging to the other fellow of keeping on even in a losing battle. Young Jeanette is fully the equal of his namesake who has now faded off the pages of pugilistic history. He boxes at 138 and with the number of bouts lined up for him by Manager DeLavillade, he will be a busy boy. His first shot is Saturday, Sept. 1st at the Main St. A. C. Jas.

Toby Josepha Cotton. McKinley School student, has issued a unique challenge. He offers to race polo pony, broncho, race horse, or humble plow horse, the distance of fifty miles and beat him, in a fair and evenly started race without any handicap allowed him against his four-footed opponent. Several owners of racing stables and riding academies are already considering acceptance of the challenge and the contest will probably be held in the near future. Toby suggests that the race be run firm Riverside to Los Angeles, a distance of approximately 57 miles, but owners of the Olympic and other auditoriums have been approached with the view of holding it where spectators may view all stages of the arduous trial between man and horse. Johnson defeated Harold Langford and partner in the Men's Doubles. A large number of contestants were entered from Santa Monica, Riverside and other Southern California cities. Peerless CABS MUual 4141 Syracuse Fans Give Dance for Baby Gans As a proof of the popularity of Baby Joe Gans out East, where he is now making pugilistic history, comes a letter tro-mone of the local citizens enclosing a poster advertising a dance BABY JOE GANS—The Young Master BABY JOE GANS-The Young Master given in his honor on August 6th following the battle with Joe Trabon. It was staged at Rubenstein's Hall by two of the local dance promoters billed as Jalia and Stella. The letter further states that a great crowd attended in honor of the "Young Master." CLISBY VS.

Just as we come off the press Baker, towering about 6 feet, 7 inches and weighing around 130 pounds, shakes hands with Neal about 5 feet, 10 and weighing 195. But what a whale of a battle is in the offing with Neal's speed and cleverness matched against Sam's mighty bulk and crushing swings. But even at that Neal is pretty sure month's cessation in his training. The unfortunate loss of his mother caused him, out of respect for her memory, to take a vacation from the padded circle, just when he had gotten the old K.

The picture centers around the bootleg ring, with its supply sbips ply- ing from Europe to the American twelvemile limit( its fast motor boats connecting with the midnight taxi fleet that carries the booze cargo inland, and its schemes of hijacking and iilicit trafic. Although Antonio Moreno’s role in “The Midnight Taxi” is a romantic one, it is said to be based upon the ec- tual career of one of the most sensa- tional figures of the underworld—a man whose defiance of law enforce: ment and notoriety as a gunman bas made him one of the kings of the un- derworld The stirring action of the story is inensified by the cast selected for the ‘production which Joba Adolfi directed. Featured with Mr, Moreno and Miss Costello are Myrna Loy, William Rus- sell, Bobbie Agnew, Tom Dugan, Jack Santoro and Pat Hartigan. On the stage the same week the Met, offers Publix collegiate revue “Rah! Rah!

The game on August 4th ended 13 to 10, but if the game had ended in the 7th as scheduled it would have stood 10 to 5 for the Red Sox. Agreeing to another innning was their downfall as the Eastiders pilled in 8 runs in a batting fit.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened RAKESTRAW'S RAILROAD CLATTER By Joe Rakestraw Among the two thousand vacationists enjoying the cool breezes of Lake Michigan at a secluded spot in that neck of the woods where we have our idlewild Michigan, the Negro Playground of America, we find Frederick D. Massey, popularly known throughout the country in Railroad and social circles, taking the much needed rest from the daily grind he is subjected to by plying between Chicago and Los Angeles on "The Gold Coast Limited" crack Union Pacific-Northwestern train. Mr. Massey will return to this city about August 30. A suite of rooms in the palatial Hotel Somerville is retained by Mr. Massey who is known for his loyal support to hostelries of this type. ORGANIZER OF SLEEPING CAR PORTERS ON VACATION Geo. S. Grant, Organizer of The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters left Wednesday for Manhattan Beach for sojourn of three months, leaving the Brotherhood headquarters in charge of Leon Whitaker, one of our very able young men, a product of Los Angeles and a recent graduate to the law school of the University of California with high honors and the degree of doctoror. Mr. Whitaker has proven his capability of handling this work as he once before filled in for Mr. Grant while he was ill. CONDUCTORS AND TRAINMEN TAKE STRIKE VOTE That the railroads of California and other Western States are facing a strike of their conductors and train men early in September, when the movement of perishable freight will be at its peak, is the tenor of a state issued today by a committee consisting of the general managers of transcontinental railroads operating in California. The union was issued following advice that the men and conductors have refused arbitration on their wage demand and are now conducting a strike ballot to be returned September 2. The railroads are willing to allow their conductors and brakesmen an increase of $6½ per cent, the same as was recently granted engineers and firemen, and which would cost about $6,500,000 per annum. The railroads are still willful and he but the labor organizations affected having refused arbitration, are now writing a strike vote. Do you remember the time when you were a new employee? Perhaps it is not so long ago, or possibly it was many years ago, but every worker was a new employee at some time. Didn't everything seem strange to you—the car, the equipment, the men? Perhaps there was one man in the crew who greeted you with a smile and who occasionally gave you a pointer or two on how to do your work more easily. At the end of the trip he took you to the quarters introduced you to some of the other boys and at night took you to a movie. You learned to like this man and looked at him for any information you needed about your work. In these days when new men are constantly being assigned to our care and crews, every old employee has a great opportunity and duty to perform towards these men. Treat them as you would like to be treated if you were in their place$^2$ SNAPPY SUGGESTIONS Courtesy is a personal investment that pay big dividends. Any time is the right time for improving yourself. Nothing is easier than fault finding. We suspect those who never mention their mistakes. A man entirely wrapped up in himself carries a small package. There is no such thing as failure. You must not give up if you would climb up. Don't forget that today is the moment you expected so much of yesterday. There isn't any substitute for work. It is the only means through which progress can be made. When others are applauded, we call it "Applesauce." but when we "get a hand," how natural it is for us to consider the acclaim as a compliment to our achievements. DINING CAR COOKS AND WAITERS OPEN CLUB ROOMS Dining Car Cook and Waiters Local, No. 582, came into prominence Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock when the doors of 1158 E. 12th street opened the most unique club home West of the Rockies. The local has launched forth on its mission to make life that more pleasant to members of the Railroad World with a nine-room home, affording various pleasures to their families and friends. A steady stream of visitors inspected this luxurious home and were forced to comment that it was a monument to Nebraska. We find the office of the Financial Secretary, directly across the hall two living rooms fitted with furnishings of the latest design with a baby grand piano; these rooms will also serve as assembly rooms for meetings of the Local, to the right of these rooms a ladies sun parlor with a radio. A billiard, card and two bed-rooms are on the second floor. A kitchen fully equipped to care for lunches and parties is conveniently located south of the building and cake were served throughout the day to the many visitors by Mrs. Clarence R. Johnson, Frank Savington, Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Porter. We believe a few words of praise are due Mr. Clarence R.

WESTERN TRAINMEN STRIKE THREAT WILL HELP PORTERS According to the Associated Press, the Western Trainmen and Train Conductors are taking a strike, vote which will end Sept. 2. The question at issue is a wage increase of 10% is alleged by the Western Railway managers that they are willing to grant the increase, providing the trainmen with the necessary time to be deprived of certain working conditions. Of course, the trainmen and conductors justify refuse and are taking a strike vote to determine the date of walking out in the event that their demands are not granted. A. Phillip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, claims that the fight of the trainmen and conductors will help the Pullman Porters' union in its struggle to secure a living wage, 240-hour work-month and decent working conditions. "Says he," "Although the trainmen and conductors are now getting four or five times as much in wages as Pullman porters receive, they are balloting to strike for more. Thus, the porters, the public will learn, are not the only railway workers who have grievances, although they get less than any other group, work longer hours and under the most intolerable working conditions." Pullman porters and the public will watch the action of the United States Board of Mediation if the struggle reaches the point where the question of declaring that an emergency exists so that President Coolidge may step in and establish an emergency board. The conditions in the present case are in no more harmony with the provisions of the Railway Labor Act that render an emergency board necessary than when the porters' strike date and hour was set June 8. If race prejudice played no part in the action of the Mediation Board on the porters' case, the Board will act similarly in the present situation of the trahmen. But it is clear that unless the railway managers give in, the Board will call upon President Coolidge to set up an emergency board. The trainmen must agree that they have no faith in the Mediation Board and are, like the porters, relying upon their economic power. As a result of the breakdown of the Mediation Board, observed the porters' organizer, the Railway employees, including the porters, will press upon Congress the inaction of an amendment to the Railway Labor Act which will put some teeth in it in the interest of the railway employees. The porters' chief adds that the Strike Committee is watching the Western Trainmen and Conductors strike maneuver, and will determine what action to take relative to the Pullman porters' strike, in the event that the United States Mediation Board refuses to declare that an emergency exists, and the trainmen and train conductors should go on strike Strike 24. A call has been issued for nationwide mass meetings for Friday, August 24, for the discussion of the Western Trainmen and Train Conductors strike situation in relation to the Pullman Porters and their pending strike. The Pullman Porters' Union officials, according to General Organizer Randolph, have been in close touch with the Executive and the head of the American Federation of Labor since the postponement of their strike June 8. upon the advice of Mr. William Green, President of the Federation. PULLMAN PORTERS ARE WINNING The struggle of the Sleeping Car Porters for manhood rights, a living wage, and the abduction of undue servility, is on the upward rise. Labor, throughout the country, is behind them. They are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the other railway brothershools. Their special meetings are being held next week.

Williams who operates on 11 and 12 was caught devouring a liberal cut of blackberry pie out of the tin taking a bottle of milk as a chaser out of the bottle.

We have demonstrated that this splendid couple has mastered the situation and at this time we are proudly celebrating their Twenty Fifth Anniversary. Mr. Lawrence L. Stewart is a native of the state of Mississippi. He and Miss O. V. Ransom were joined in wedlock on August 10, 1903 in the City of Natchez. Prior to this fathermonial venture Miss Ransom by her ow ningenuity and pluck accomplished what many others have failed to do who had better opportunities. She was instrumental in getting herself through Lincoln A. M. A. School in 1896. Attended Waehburn College and in a short time worked her way through the McDowell Dressmaking and Millinery School of Chicago from which she graduated with high honor. This newly married couple left Natchez on August 12th for the Golden State. They arrived on the 19th inst. in the city of Los Angeles and settled in their present home in the year of 1904. To this ideal couple were born three children: namely: Delores, Comolette and Lucky. Mr. Stewart is one of our leading business men. At the beginning of his years was employed as salesman career in California, he for a number with the Hughes Manufacturing Co., afterwards changing his position going to Gahnal Lumber and Milling Co. where he was employed as lumber salesman for a period of four years between 1921 and 1925, when went into the building business for himself. He now ranks among our leading Contractors and Builders. This Anniversary was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, 1028 E. 36th Street, which was filled to overflowing with invited guests who manifested their esteem b y the many valuable presents given. Light refreshments were served. Mr. T. A. Harris was Master of Ceremonies and gave above information to those present.

Convention, Mrs. Beatrice Johnson, president; the B. Y. P. U. Convention, W. A. Payne, president. In their annual message these executives caught the spirit of the Moderator and discussed at length many things that will mean advancement and progress in their reevaluation. in their respective organizations. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. M. Dickerson who used as a subject the theme of the Association, "Christian Unity in Service"; the doctrinal sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Plus, Rev. R. H. Wade preached the special sermon to the young people; Rev. Frank James preached the missionary sermon, Rev. T. L. Griffith, the educational sermon. The moderator preached the annual sermon Sunday morning and Rev. E. E. Birkhalter preached the coronation sermon Sunday evening taking as his subject "Send Me." It was a splendid commission to the workers for the year. Dr. T. L. Griffith brought an interesting report of the Old Folks Home and plans are being formed to more efficiently conduct the work of the institution. In the report on State of the Country, Dr. Griffith presented a report that was wide in its scope and quite definite in its pronunciations. Upon its adoption the Association by vote put itself on record as opposed to tampering with the Eighteenth Amendment or with any of the Amendments; also as favoring legislation banishing the prize fight menace from our State. On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Solomon brought a detailed report of the National S. S. B. Y. P. U. Convention, which met in Milwaukee and Dr. W. R.

D. degree by McMasters University; of Dr. L. K. Williams being elected First Vice-President of the World's Baptist Alliance; of Dr. Mordecai Johnson, Dr. East and others being selected to preach special sermons during the Alliance; the entire assemblage stood and cheered to the echo At this session Dr. J. P. Hubbard of Oakland, president of the State Convention was introduced and delivered an address on the "Conservation of Baptist Undergrowth." This was an impassioned plea for the young people of the denomination and the Association was urged to enlarge its program so as to give them a more definite place. Mrs. B. Corinne Carter, president of the State Women's Convention and Miss Anna Mai Griffith, president of the State B. Y. P. U. Convention were introduced and brought short messages of congratulations. The next session of the Association will be held in San Diego, the New Bethel Baptist Church and the Pleas antview Baptist Church entertaining.

Long before time for the doors to open a monster crowd was milling in front of this unique dancing academy seeking tickets. But not only was the crowd huge, it was the most representative probably of any event this season. Workers i nall field[s of endeavor waited in line eagerly for Alton Redd to burst out with his pods of cayenne, hotter than hot. Every one seemed to have spent an enjoyable evening. Too much credit cannot be given Mrs. Cook and other members of the committee who so ably assisted in making the affair the success it was. IT HAPPENED IN BOSTON "Look here" stormed the diner, pointing to the tureen, "What is the meaning of that dead fly in the soup?" "I regret sir," said the waiter politely, "cannot supply you with the desired information." "I am only supposed to serve the soup, not explain its ingredients." "But a dead fly, man," persisted the diner: "How did it happen?" "I am sorry to say sir, I have no idea how the poor creature met its fate. Possibly it had not taken any food for a long time and fluttering near the soup, found the flavor particularly pleasing, and, eating too heavily, contracted appendicitis or some kindred ailment, which, in the absence of an opportunity for the application of Xrays and the resultant operation, caused its untimely demise." ONLY NEGRO STEWARD IN U. S RUNS ON CENTURY The unique distinction of being the only Negro Steward in full charge of a Dining Car on any railroad in the United States falls to John Jones, New York City, who for nearly twenty years, has been Steward on The Twentieth Century Limited, the crack train on the New York Central Railroad running between New York and Chicago in the fast time of twenty hours. Mr. Olmes is considered the best Steward in the entire service and is instructor for new men in this position. He is often detailed to special service and is well acquainted with bankers, financiers, government officials, theatrical, producers, movie stars and many others. Mr. Jones is the highest paid Steward on the New York Central in rank of seniority. Prominent Physician Opens Office in L. A. Dr. A. A. Foster, formerly of Omaha, Nebraska, opened the doors of Suite 202 in the new Blodgett Build. DR.A.A.FOSTER ing, Monday morning with a modern and thoroughly equipped office to render a service unsurpassed. Dr. Foster, a man whose merit equals his reputation, possessed with a most delightful personality, comes highly recommended having served in the medical section of the U. S. Army during the world war. An appointment as resident physician in the city hospital of St. Louis. Mo. came directly on the beels of his army discharge. Doing a general practice in Omaha an enviable clientage was built up among our group, and the tremendous asset be demonstrated to the profession in that city gained him admission to many leading hospitals. He is popularly known among church and fraternal organizations throughout the country. Several years were spent in Texas where a wide acquaintance was formed who admired him for his sterling qualities. We welcome Dr. Foster to our city and hope his connection with the medical profession of this great metropolis will mean much. Telephones: Office Humbolt 9831; Residence Atlantic 0554.

(Continued from Page 1) that as soon as we have a day to ourselves, other people do not attend. A committee of citizens, at a great expense, brought the Tenth Cavalry Band to Los Angeles, believing that through music and patriotism we would be able to reach a large white audience. It was a Negro band and presented by Negroes, and regardless of Patriotism and service to their country, the white citizens did not attend. The only way to reach all people is to be on their programs. Miss Nannie Burroughs and other colored speakers at the World's Sunday School Convention which convened here recently reached more white people than any speaker at the Annual Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. Had she been on a Negro program, white people would not have heard her. The result of this Negro Day will be the keeping of Colored talent off other programs and white people away. We are not impugning the motive of those offering us the day or those who accept such a day, but the entire theory and principle behind it is wrong, and we would be recruit to duty if, with our experience, we did not warn the citizens of Los Angeles against such a step. Therefore, we urge the colored people do not attend the Exposition on that day. Beware of these GIFTS. H. C. HUDSON, President Los Angeles Branch.

BELFON From the earliest dawn of history men have invested hair with a mysterious halo. Its beauty of color and texture has supplied inspiration to poets and dreamers. Always it has been the crowning glory of woman. It is said that one of the positive tests of female beauty is the hair. The subject of hair never falls to interest women who would improve their appearance or who would not only have the skin and complexion clear, but who would follow out the desirable plan of keeping the hair beautiful. To all who are interested it should be known that everything of importance concerning the hair depends primarily upon the scalp. It must be healthy if one would have beautiful hair. True it is; that not all women can boast of these pronounced and striking attributes of beauty. There are man with hair of no more beauty than there is in a bunch of straw. Yet, the hair of any well kept, healthy head of hair is essentially beautiful—almost as much as so is the luster and sparkle of a pair of expressive, soulful eyes. So marked is this quality that it may be truly said that the fate of nations has often been bound in some mass of glittering gold, or in a braid of blue black texture that may have rivaled the softness and sheen of a black bird's wing. All this but emphasize the importance of the hair in enchanting or marrying human beauty. I would; therefore, urge upon mothers the necessity of giving special at- tention to the condition of the scalp of their children, so that the proper exercise and nutrition of the scalp may be begun at the earliest possible age, before the nutrition of the hair follicles is interfered with or unfavorably influenced from any cause. Very often hair loss in later life is due to lack of care of the scalp of the infant after birth. I cannot impress too strongly upon young mothers the necessity of seeing to it that the greatest possible care in the treatment of the scalp of their babies is exercised at this time. The first shampoo should be more carefully performed than any shampoo the little individual may ever receive or take during the remainder of its life. Improper managements at this time may bring about conditions very difficult to handle. Under no circumstances should a fine comb be used on a baby's tender scalp for it is likely to set up a chronic inflammation of the scalp. The thought may come to our mind that some of the most beautiful heads of hair that ever existed grow on heads that know nothing of their care. For instance various tribes in Africa—Esqwimas and Indians and other dwellers in bleak and forbidding climates, where shampoos or hair dress are unknown. These facts might puzzle us, if we did not remember that they live largely our of doors, their heads are never overheated by badly ventilated hats, they have those wonderful hygienic agencies. Sun and Air, to exert their full beneficent power in cleansing and preserving their hair, thus preventing the unwarranted prevalence of baldness, dandruff and all forms of diseases of the scalp known to the majority of men and women living a so-called civilized life. These conditions are largely avoidable and curable by proper hygienic treatments. You can at least give your hair a chance for life, health and the longest possible endurance by intelligent attention. Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart Heads National Association Of Colored Women's Clubs (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington. D. C.. August 10—Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart of Evansville, Indiana, was elected President of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs here Friday by a unanimous vote. The newly elected President has been active in the affairs of the association for a number of years and her election was almost a foregone conclusion long before the election of officers was held. Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown of Sedalia, N. C., defeated Mrs. Jane Porter Barrett, of Virginia for Vice President at large after a real contest. Other officers elected were: Mrs. Delisy B. Lampkin, Pittsburgh, chairman of the Executive Committee; Mrs. Rebecca Stiles Taylor, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. Mianie Scott, Toledo, first Recording Secretary; Mrs. Jesse Grayson, Oregon, second Recording Secretary and Mrs. Claudine Basas, of Arkansas, third Recording Secretary; Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Washington, D. C., Treasurer; Mrs. Addie Dickerson, Philadelphia, Statistician; Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, New York, Parliamentarian; Dr. Ida May Miller, Indiana, Chapain; Mrs. Joanna Snowden, National Organizer; and Mrs. Esther Jones Lee, California Auditor. The election of officers brought to a close one of the most successful meetings ever held by the Association and an end to the administration of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, during whose incumbency the organization made rapid strides in every direction. Mrs. Stewart indicated that a progressive program would be initiated and prosecuted vigorously during the next two years and asked the support of all the state and local organizations. The association was addressed by some of the leading citizens of America, including Col. W. B. Lade. engineer commissioner, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Dean William Pickens, Dr. Emmett J. Scott and Dr. John R. Hawkins, who was recently appointed chairman of the Executive Committee of the Colored Voters Division of the G. O. P. Campaign. Shooting Of White Girl Causes Trouble Los Angeles, Cal. Aug. 10.—Rioting outside a "black and white" night club at Central Avenue and Twenty-eight Street shortly before daybreak resulted in the shooting of a white woman through the arm, threats against the life of a policeman, and the calling out of all available reserves from Newton Division. Thomas Sielski, was arrested and charged with drunkenness, disturbing the peace, and resisting arrest. Miss Margaret Guinn of 339 South Fremont Street, said to have been accidentally shot in the arm by a bullet from the gun of Policeman C. S. Hendricks, was declared to be in a serious condition. The girl was shot, according to witness, when Hendricks was wrestled by friends of Sielski, and the gun, drawn by him for self-protection, was accidently discharged. The rioting and shooting followed an asserted attempt by Sielski to "clean out" the night club. When Hendricks attempted to quiet Sielski he reported the man and his companions turned on him with threats against his life.

The man who forges to the front in industrial or commercial life is the man who is closely in touch with everything the leaders in his line are doing.

WHEATON The Stadium at Stanford University, Palo Alto was filled to capacity Saturday, Aug. 11th when Herbert Hoover, nominee of the Republican Party received his official notification from Senator George Moses, New Hampshire. It was a colorful sight. The preponderance of the huge audience was composed of women, and their colorful costumes, and many hued sun was accentuated a holiday effect, which was accompanied by a large number of thousands of tiny American flags carried by the spectators. The early arrivals were entertained by the hands and radio announcers who were testing the microphones which carried the words of the speakers to the farthest part of the immense bowl. Everything as planned worked like a clock. The arrival of the nominee and party was the occasion of vociferous cheers. Promptly on the minute the Governor of California, C. C Young in pithy address of about five minutes, an address which carried some very poignant references to Senator Ronald Reagan's attackery, bowler Damien Damien, Damien Moses, New Hampshire, who delivered the notification authorized by the Republican National Convention. Senator Moses merely touched the issues as he presented the notification. The "I accept!" spoken by the nominee was the signal for the generous applause which frequently punctuated his speech of acceptance. As was to be expected the farm vote, which seems to be the political "Will-o'-the-Wisp," came in for a generous of the speech. No definite plan for farm relief, by government subsidiation was given. Advice on cooperative marketing and cheaper transportation by the construction of inland waterways was about the jist of the paragraph. There were some highlights in the speech concerning humanitarianism, and we listened attentively to hear how soon the bar from the "Door of Opportunity" at which 15 million of people, dark skinned, have, for several decades, been pounding. "We shall use words to convey not to hide our meaning," said Hoover. "Modern progress and more use march together: Equity of opportunity is more American." Did he have also in mind the great throng of yong men and women whose opportunities are proscribed because of their color? "Crime and disobedience of law cannot be permitted to break down the constitution, and laws of the United States." Of course, this was said in the cause of Prohibition, but, does the nominee consider the enforcement of the 18th Amendment of more consequence than that of the 13th, 14th and 15th? If it is criminal to nullify the 18th Amendment then it is a crime to condone the nullification of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. But we believe Herbert Hoover sincerely in his utterance, because he says, "In this land dedicated to tolerance, we still find outbreaks of intolerance." * * * * "The presidency is more than an administrative office. It must be the symbol of American ideals. The high and the lowly must be seen with the same eyes, met in the same spirit. It must be the instrument by which national conscience is livened and it must under the guidance of the Alleged interest and follow that copious Herbert Hoover magazine of Quaker stock. That stock had ear that was ever open to the appeal for justice, is the ear of Herbert Hoover open to the appeal of the 15,000,000 blacks of this United States? A citizenry which asks for no especial privilege, only common justice. And will Herbert Hoover as President of the United States add the weight and influence of that great office to secure that Justice? Former presidents have started to do it but faltered when the exigency of politics faced them. It is humiliating to be obliged to bring these matters to the front, but how can a people who are proscribed in every avenue of their endeavors take an active place in the economic life of the nation? The unequal struggle would embitter a less loyal people than they. Their buoyancy of will not allow them to be submerged in the apple in a tub of water, 'you can't keep, under an unless you hold it in your hand, should the Fates be so kind as to make you President, remember, that 15,000,000 hands will be required to keep submerged 15,000,000 apples and those hands will be non-productive. Mary Booze, National Committee woman, Mississippi, said at a conference in Chicago that "there is a big deflection from the Republican ranks by Negroes of the North States." There is: the fact is obvious. The young first voters are not taking things for granted. Men nor women picked out by the political powers, and because of their subservience foisted into leadership has their claims challenged by the youth of the Race. These youth have had the myth of racial superiority, or color inferiority dispelled by physical and mental tests made through actual contact. They are imbued with the spirit, that whatever can be done by others can I do also. That is the big army that is standing aloof politically. They are watching the trend of affairs. They know the political history of the past. They are laying down their challenge to the future. We have had numerous young men and woman say, 'We are seriously and quietly asking a survey of racial imbalances in poll. We are studying the affinity or our congressional through the medium of our college letter societies and contacts made through them. We do not want to antagonize the "Me Too's," nothings would be gained by that, but we will not be led in the beaten path. "It's the spirit of youth, glorious spirit!" It will keep hammering at the "Door of equal opportunity" until the barrier is removed, or the door is battered down. Of course Miss Booze in other environments, don't catch the perspective. We frequently visit a little studio in Sacramento. It is the work shop of a young man Jno. Evans and he ranks among the best as a commercial artist. Even his show cards are works of art and show original imaginational creation. This work of his is placed in the display windows of the city's biggest marts of trade, and his cartoon displays are many. Now, we believe that the workman is worthy of his hire. No encouragement can be given by gratuitous requests. If a young woman of talent has so perfected herself in her music as to make it a pleasure to hear her, we should encourage her. As a result, a measure. When a young man of Evans' talent, services are required they should be paid for. We were surprised at the requests made for free work. --- Intolerance seems to be the special adoption of Protestant religious bodies. A New York Baptist preacher has accused Gov. Al Smith of being the father of vice and hand-maiden of iniquity. A menace to public morals and all other questionable names. Gov. Smith wants to sit face to face with the preacher in the church and before the congregation which hear the charge and reply to any question, he (the preacher) or the congregation may propound. The preacher wants to hire a hall. NOTHIER? If Hubert Works is wise he will call off religious bigots. Maybe he has forgotten the Rev. Burchard and his "Rum, Romanism and Rye," which gave Grover Cleveland the Presidency by defeating James G. Blaine. If those fanatics keep up their tirades it will alienate from the Republican party many who like to see fair play. And they are legion. . . . Dr. Mordecia Johnson in addressing the National Bar Association of Negro Lawyers, said, "When you carry the fight and win the battle for Mary Jones or Sam Smith you fight not only for them but you force the son of Cole Blesse to recognize all as American citizens or die an irrebel death." Dr. Johnson is the President of Howard University. We have often stated that there can be no "Diceties" nor "Bogoboagbs" when it comes fight or equality. Dr. Loretta Daly Section is no more safe from prescription than is John Smith of "Bogooolg Alley." They together face the impregnable wall of prejudice. Together they will have to use their strength in concert to raze it or stand impotent before its strength. The fight is no Pink Tea affair. It calls for two-fisted hammering. HEALTH-O-GRAMS DR. CHAS. W. MULLINIKS DANGER SIGNALS We have become accustomed to seeing so many red lights that every one is familiar with the meaning of such a signal. We wished all our readers would heed a danger signal of their own bodies even as well as they do red lights in traffic. Often we hear someone say, "I had to read quite a deal yesterday and my eyes ran the words together and too after I retired I couldn't sleep because they hurt me so badly." One of your danger signals which could be caused by many things but should be attended to at once. How many times have your friends said after having to start wearing glasses, "My Dr. said if I had not abused my eyes by going without glasses for several years in which I should have been wearing glasses, "would not have had to then ever a period of more than a year or so, but as I did so I will be compelled to wear them for the rest of my life." Friends, can't you see the suffering, and inconvenience to say, nothing of the expense. This failure to heed a danger signal has caused. EARS Another needless habit of humanity is neglecting their ears. We start talking to some friend and he put his hand to his ear or says: "Please talk a little louder I'm a little dent". Upon inquiry we find he is doing nothing for this condition has never even consulted a physician and you have waited longer than you should, had you come sooner I could have helper you but now it is too late. At first you had only a simple catarrh which would have yielded to treatment in a very short while. Again you see a person limping along the side-walk and inquiring about the cause we are told. "Well, I must have rheumatism or something it has been hurting me for several weeks, all through my ankles and instep." Another danger signal not beaten. After a few years, your name and address are told, "I finally had to go to a Dr. and my arches are broken down, no show to repair them now, I will have to wear braces, or arch support all my life I guess, and oh, how these things hurt me, I don't believe I can ever stand the suffering and to think I will have to be bothered with these things the rest of my life." Kind readers, pain is nature's danger signal and if heeded is a blessing to mankind you don't stop to feel a small signal and attend so it you can rest assured you will soon feel a larger one and then the damage may be of such a nature it can't be repaired. A Resume Of The Activities Of J. B. Bass--Candidate For The Assembly From The 74th Assembly District - (Continued From Page One) pose making conditions better for people of the Afra- American Race. We also have watched the growth of the California Eagle of which you are Editor. You have proven to all of the citizens of Los Angeles that you have that "something" within you that makes progress, that makes you big enough and broad enough to with- stand an obstacle. You have proven that you know when to fight and that you have won theseights in nearly every case. With you elected Assemblyman from the 74th As- sembly District a new day shall be born as far as recognition is concerned for the people which you re- present. By the way, as a matter of comparison, bringing your attention to the eight block on Central Avenue, the progress and achievements of the California Eagle can be placed in the same position as the California Bank in that district. This large banking corporation was housed in a very small, dinky building some ten years and in the same block. So was your estab- lishment in a very dinky little place some ten years ago. The California bank has moved up until today it is one of the most progressive institutions of its kind in Southern California. The California Eagle has moved up and offward until today it is one of the best week- less published on the Pacific Coast, barring none. As you know, the California Bank could not have progressed and attained its present standing in that district were it not for the progressiveness of the men who have its destiny at stake. The California Eagle could not have achieved its position which it now holds were it not for the progressiveness of its editor and managing editor, Mrs. Charlotta A. Bass. We owe this woman the highest respect that is possible to give for her alertness and for her support and guidance that she has given the editor of the California Eagle that this publication has attained the position which it now holds. On every hand and at every meeting of any importance the cry goes up, "Give credit where credit is due!" Then, if we do that, your election shall be at the Primaries. If every other business in this section were as progressive as your publication our business standing in this community would be one to be commended. In the process of organizing the business men in this district (along Central Avenue and other business streets on the East Side), but in every case they have failed, I have watched your activity and interest taken in them. You have in nearly every case attended the first meetings and the last meetings. Well, it's just in you. That is your make-up. Your leadership in this community is worthy of serious consideration from every elector, in your district as well as those on the outside. Then there is another side to the electing of you in the 74th Assembly District. You consider yourself as one of the common people. They are the people, believe me sir, who will decide the contest. What we need today is to elect more common people to the offices as servants of the people they know the needs and requirements of the common people. It was Lincoln who gave the people of the United States the greatest administration of all the presidents—a common man. I note in your editorials of last week an item regarding your meeting which was held at the New Hope Baptist Church. You state the majority of those assembled were of the common, everyday people, and after all, sir, as before stated, those were just common, loyal citizens, home owners who gathered in the support of your candidacy for Assemblyman of the 74th Assembly District. As a man of a family, home owner, a business man, a citizen of California and of the common people, I pledge my every support for your election in the Primaries, August 28th, 1928. With every hope for your success, I am ever. ESTEEM IN WHICH MR. BASS IS HELD IN HIS HOME TOWN BY BOTH RACES (From Topeka Plaindealer) "EDITOR J. B. BASS, FORMER TOPEKA CTITIZEN NOW IN CALIFORNIA, CONTENTS FOR LEGISLATIVE HONORS IN LOS ANGELES "Topeka, Kansas, June 22—Joe Bass, who was reared in this city and lived here until 1905, and is the editor and publisher of the California Eagle, has announced his candidacy for Legislative honors from the 74th Assembly District of Los Angeles, California. His many and life long friends of both races in Topeka wish for him the greatest success and as Joe has always been a pretty level headed fellow, his friends here are expecting the hearing of his triumphant election. "In this field of endeavor, he was one of the shining lights of progress and every movement which stood for the advancement of the people, Joe Bass was always up in the front ranks. "In all public affairs he was one who could always be counted upon to move things forward. Way back in the nineteenies was the product and maneuvering of his fertile brain which gave to the race the first City Councilman elected in the West. "When the 23rd Regiment was ordered for the Spanish American War, Joe Bass took the lead and Kansas sent forth this regiment, manned by a full quota of Colored officers. He also rendered government service in rescuing same. "He has appeared laureable times before the legislature and at all times stood the test of fire on behalf of his people. His record as a citizen of Kansas is outstanding. "We would say to the citizens of Los Angeles, that if they want action and a man for the Assembly who will bring things to pass and who will stand up at all times for their interest; they will make no mistake in putting their trust in the progressive and distinguished editor of the wonderful California Eagle." WILL J. B. B. BASS STAND THE TEST? HERE IS THE ANSWER Watts, California, May 13th, 1925. HON. J. B. BASS, Editor of Calif. Eagle. Los Angeles, Cliftonia. Dear Friend: Your presence on last night renewed the courage in the breast of every Negro present, and enlightened every white person who are generally ignorant of the History of our people; except that they were once slaves. Come again Mr. Bass and bring Mrs. Bass, yet I know it is indeed a need to have two persons in our city at the same time of your magnitude, yet we need such people as you to remind us as a people that we are a part of this nation and have a glorious past, and our future all before us. Come again. You quickened new pride in our breast on last night; indeed, yours was a great speech. Remember Watts is with you to the end, as we all feel very much your inconvenience for all in publishing the plans of the Ku Klux Klan, but your life has been the life of a soldier for Your People, and we thank God that you are a well trained soldier. Many, many thanks to you and Mrs. Bass. This following sponsors were filled with Mr. Bass. Members Daniel, Whiteside; Charlie, Weeh, Palmer; Eugene Friday, August 17, 1928 Sorall, Geo, Barnett, Wm.

AFRICA'S MAP IS SHAPED LIKE A SKULL; AND IS THE PLACE IN HOLY WRIT CALLED SKULL WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED. THE LAND OF ETHIOPIA.-GEN. 1. --- Friday, August 17, 1928 IS AFRICA H YES, E PRESERVE! WATCH! AFRICA'S MAP WHERE OUR LORE The time is now ripe, for the Jews to return nationally to Africa which was (Jerusalem of old). Even the Jews that were brought over in ships and sold for bond women and bond men; in plainer words (Hebrews or slaves) which scripturally are so recorded.—Deut. 28; note last v. Rev. 3. Not the only Jews. Their sins are forgiven (they have completed their sojourning in strange lands,) from north, south, west and east, must go back to foremost to the land of the sign of the sphinx, earth's center.—Lev. 26:40 to 46. As the great sea (Pacific Ocean) towards the going down of the sun, (yes, all the oceans which were formerly called the Euphrates river) shall now part, dry up (divide) again and be rivers, then dry highways from northward, southward, westward and eastward, upon the whole earth will open direct into the city of the Sphinx, Cairo, Egypt. Thus the great water gates into heaven will be open (into Africa) Jerusalen of old. There the black and the white Jew shall again be united, they that are so destined, and the stranger of the gentiles so destined, shall with them return to Africa, Jerusalem of old.-Lev. 13:12, 13, 14v. God says of the now divided house of Israel (a part of this race he called beauty, the other part he called (bonds or slaves). God burst them asunder, he has been their enemy. Long ago he parted them, it was such a season; but now they must become one stick again, one nation, even the whole house of Israel. Juda shall not any more vex Ephraium, and Ephraium shall not envy Juda. There we shall have heaven on earth again. Such a season now in. Eze. Yet any person, Jew or Gentile, that deliberately makes or loves to falsify, lie, or acts a false lie or another lie concerning this matter shall not enter into this new (renewed) Jerusalem, but shall perish early on the way should he start. Rev. 21:8. Manna shall fall on the way when food gives cut. Six days shall it fall as before (then on the 7th none). So again will be the adjustment of the 7th day. Take what food you can with you, also frying pans. You must gather sufficient on the 6th day for the 7th (Sabbath or rest day). Firds, for food, fish and whales left from the retreating waters shall suffice with the manna, (the bread) until you reach Jerusalem (Cairo) the city of the Sphinx. Water flowing fresh from (great rocks) renewed springs, now and then found flowing afresh, shall be water for drinking in route to those (so destined). Take canteens or vessels for drinking water to last from one watering place (spring or pool) to the other. Health, joy, courage, peace, sufficiency, security, and welcome on entering (JERU-SALEM) in the city of the Sphinx; to re-enroll in heaven on earth here (The Pool of Siloam). As typified by Jesus. St. John 9. The names of all things has been changed, such as old cities, countries, races. You may go on foot (feet) or in vehicles, on horse, ass, camel, elephant, or mule. Any animal, beast of burden, as the way will be wide and sure. All en route will go up a mixed multitude as before when (these) the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea. Take Long Beach Aye. out from Los Angeles. There all destined to go to Jerusalem (heaven) on earth here, shall receive anew the commandments of God for the new world (NEW EARTH), Rev. 21: As there has nothing happened to Africa (the JERUSALEM OR HEAVEN OF OLD) saving it had a fall, an autumn of the flesh (ON ALL FLESH) even as we have in the vegetable or herb seasons or kingdom, so in the flesh kingdom; only of a longer, immensely, vast cycle, or circle of duration of time in coming in, and going out. Even thousands of years, as I've said. Thus as I shout the voice of flesh spring, WE behold flesh winter on the wine, Flesh spring come, flesh fall long gone, Hark! is this not Gabriel's horn? As now the fall is coming upon the Western World (the Western Hemisphere) even as it is departing from the Eastern world (Eastern Hemisphere). I mean the autumn of flesh; thus all that is destined to be saved for the new earth (RENEWED EARTH OR HEAVEN) will have to finally visit the city of the Sphinx either they, or if a country, their representatives, and all to be saved wholly must make it to Africa (JERUSALEM OF OLD) or else live amid terrible inconvenience and natural dangers in the Western World, or (hemi sphere). There will be life in the Western World, even as it was life in Africa during its fall or autumn, but under strenuous circumstances triple to those of earth's store, or seed house (AFRICA). It's the season for it. No man can stay --- the natural working of nature (GOD). Yet worthy governments will stand. All desiring and destined to go, a way will be opened to make it to California (the gate) through floods, fire, all manner of plagues and pestilence, in the western world, to the 1st or elder world. Thus floods, fires, all manner of earth's final disturbances the 7th last display of them, (the bottomless pit); and all that is recorded in the scriptures to come will cause a continuous hasty retreat accordingly to the prepared haven (where peace, good-will, and plenty, to the upright man, the living gods) of old, shall be to all, also to beast, cattle, and creeping things, as all evil dieth; in other words, as autumn and winter of flesh departs, and sweet spring and summer is ushered in. There in Jerusalem they (Jew and Gentile) will know that the Lord has graciously saved them out of all their troubles into a new heaven on earth here, the Lord's prayer answered. "THY KINGDOM COME ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN." St. John 33: P. S.—Ncte carefully the following: Remember the apostles asked Jesus just before his assension, now is the king's rem restored to Israel? His answer is, it was not for you to know the times (cr seasons) for such of course that the father had put in his own hand, cr power. Acta 1:1. You remember again in St. John 14: when the apostles asked him, who was the father? He answered them that he himself was the father. So he knew he'd have to return before heaven was restored to earth. As they were all under a natural sleep (as trees in their fall, although not wholly dead), and could not understand him if he tried to tell them. He had then at that time dird and arose again, else he would not have known. That is why he asked for their forgiveness (they that slew him) on the tree (cross). So he sent the apostles to publish and preach the gospel, as a comfort (spirit warmth or fire) throughout flesh winter until he returned and made earth (heaven) in flesh spring. Thus he (Christ) was the original Adam which comprised male and female the one man Adam, which was the author of peace for all flesh: these two parts the one (whole) Adam. Gen. 5th. The male was foremost or first part; and his mate the female or wife, scripturally called the bride, was created second, the second part, naturally according to numeration. They two (twain) are one (heir) in this natural God power to make earth heaven, perpetually always they tip of flesh spring via their word of power, even as through them came the first weakness or fallacy, (civil cr sap in the flesh descent) in the autumn of all fresh, hence to all people to all fresh. Hence the sap resurrection in them first, then via them all the earth shall be filled with this same knowledge at the Lord (Adam) know it to really be. New Jesus was thought to be only the son of Joseph, according to the flesh, but he was the returned Adam as says the scriptures, the 1st and last verse Luke 3, the last which says, who was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth who was the son of Adam, (cf course) Adam was the son of God. Luke 3rd: In other words he is always first to awake (being reborn in the flesh) even as "fruit returns in its season". THUS ADAM is the key (male and female) to cause flesh sap resurrection in all flesh. People have always been upon the earth. Humanity never deliberately sinned, he has done according to season. Yet some good in all things as seed (cnly) always exists for the flesh spring season, was present in the autumn of flesh. Naturally (evil or rottenness), overwhelmingly outnumbered good, see. The seascs sway. So on the coming of the other part 2nd part (the female) in the West, earth shall be restored to heaven as says Jesus I came to restore Eden as Eden was of old, (to humanity cf course.) all flesh. And God called their name Adam even in marriage yet the woman takes the male's name. Called Alla in the old world principally. All mean the same thing. So God gave Adam dominic over the whole earth (Godly power) to bless it. Gen I. ch. As you cannot cut a whole seed into two parts, and plant each part, apart and make it grow, neither can a male, or a female man or woman have offspring alone apart without sex unicn. That's precof enough 2 parts are one whole; Male and Female, one. Thus his light (Christ's light, the gospel) has shined from the coming of the one part under heaven (the firmament) also season, in the East (Eastern Hemisphere) he the 1st part, even to the coming of the other part 2nd part, the female in the West (Western Hemisphere) as records Holy Writ. Rev. 21 and Luke 17: descent in prophecy and flesh lineage from heaven on earth, "Eden of Old." As the sap now ariseth in the flesh of man (humanity); he will find the law of right written in his being (in his heart). He will harmonically systematize (without force) with God. The desire for peace will come upon all flesh as each living thing retreats to its place perfect being and natural habitation, a majority. All the universe of flesh shall now be docile to right, and adamant to wrong. Honer will be to honor, custom to custom, accordingly. The dry highways shall be the shortest divides through the seas (oceans). Three (3) months or sc, even for those on foot; as from henceforth peace be to all Israel, before starting en route and after he arrived into Jerusalem. As all evil (rottenness, "the wicked") an overwhelming majority die (as per season) and the bride shall appear and she coming forth shall be seen "which was withdrawn" from the earth. Esdras 7:26v; Isa. 25:9; in old large Bibles. Churches while necessary was never withdrawn from the earth, the lamb's wife, Rev. 21, Rev. 19: Rev. 22: Adam's wife of Holy Writ, Eve "or female." Through these cherubim (two) Eden went out and via these two (male and female) it must return. 79th and 80th Psalms, Fall sleep. No humanity wake up, Adam and Eve never went naked in the public. This nakedness is limited to man and wife being not ashamed of each other's nakedness. They twain (two) says Jesus are one flesh. One man in two parts, Gen. 5. Descendents of the man (male and female) foremost cr 1st humanity God systematically (in perfect order) created. Paul the apostle says let the woman be shame faced. Not silly, yet not too bold. Eden means "the heights of perfection paramount (perfect) from which man fell when Autumn or Fall came upon Adam, the pricest or lord cr of the whole earth, Gen. 1 to bless it. In his day, there was no evil, no fallacy. Everything ripens to ```markdown ``` Page-Seven perfection (perfect) its end, or height, then descends, retires, rests; only to return again; in their bodies of dust of which all are comprised, all flesh must awake, some to shame, some to joy. So to all expecting the Lord's return, read Luke 17:20v out; floods and fires "paramount" in his return. 1 Sam. 1 to 10: Micah 4 and Isa. 18:7v., this verse has been changed in the Gideon Bibles. The seas shall not of a sudden stand up and leave an opening, but via mighty winds increasing in enormous intensity from new on continuing to blow back as in the day of Moses; until dry high ways are left. Three (3) years or so, will expire in the people, crossing over to re-enroll in heaven, before they will be wholly reconciled to the new earth. So overwhelming will the resurrection of life be (sap in flesh-rising) that many asleep in the earth (dead) shall return on earth again, live out their time according before ascending each on his exit out. Man will honor God the King till the soil in faithful husbandry, perfect art, necessary industries, good citizenship as afores in Eden, even enjoy the whole Edenic revstem of heaven God's kingdem come the Lord's prayer answered. The deserts shall blossom as the rose, flesh limbs restre on human as on trees, as disease harmonize "cure." And graves, will finally have no victory as all at the time of each's exit out of the world will ascend. The resurrection day "dispensation" flesh-spring season in. Even as all wisdcm is awakening and all feel the bloom of youth, at flesh-springs near approach. Thus individuals and nations will finally all enroll in heaven "The Haven" so long expected. Peace and good will to man. The Ethiopians or "black jews" although was in bondage, are Abraham's seed of bondage as black Ziphora "who is Moses' wife in Hely Writ" proved when the via the sign of circumcision, saved Moses' life by such demonstration. God (the angel) acknowledged her as he promised Abraham he would unto his seed via the sign of circumcision. Except for Ziphora his wife, Moses never could have entered Egypt again to bring their people out, Exo. 4. And at any rate it was unlawful for Moses, who wrote the old testament law, to marry out of race contrary to that law; when God said Moses was faithful in all his house "cr services" to God? God was well pleased with the marriage. He blessed him with two sons. As black Jethro's family Moses father-in-law was the people of God (descendants of the prophets of God) to whom Moses, fled and rather dwelt with than enjoy the pleasure of Sin (denial of his people) for a season. 82 Psalms, St. John 10:33, Exo. Moses met Jethro very honorably in the wilderness. Moses bowed before him, and Jethro advised and gave Moses a similar perfect form of government such as we have in this day. Before the tossing of the sign, Ziphra thought Moses a Pharoah, a man of the fair peopics, an Egyptian in that day also called and their descending rulers (King Pharcahs). As Paul the apostle was once mistaken to be an Egyptian, because he, alike Moses was very fair. God was angered at the murmur against Moses for marrying Ziphra, he punished the murmurers. Ziphra said, surely Moses was a bloody (that is blood) cr race husband unto her because Moses also acknowledged the sign of circumcision. So all Jews, and Gentiles, they that are destined shall return to Jerusalem as the Gentiles are the faith drafted Jews, Rom. 11. All Jews were one people before the confounding of language at the tower of Babel, and will be again. Gen. 11. As there is just one humanity in many names, For God says he made of one blood all nations for to dwell upon the face of the whole earth. As per seaso Holy Writ says a great company shall return thither (to Jerusalem) and with them the blind, the lame, the women with child, she that travaileth with child together. Jer. 30, Jer. 31, Ezzkiel 34, Eze. 20, Isa. 11:15v, Hosea 8:8-13, 14; he yet builds temple (churches). And is in Egypt the second time. Now to be again delivered be out, Isa. 11:11v. Out of Egypt God says I will call my Son. Christ typified Israel, God's first bern exo——. And of course there is a resurrection from the dead, eh? Rcm. 11. Yes, lift from the dead. Hosea 6:1, 2, 3, also nationally dead. Out of the grave of "secrecy." God says, we would forget cursives, and the nations would forget us, and again we would come to cursives in the land of our enemies, "or not cur natural habitation" (place). Fall Sleep, ha, ha, Autumn. When we awoke was as one that dreamed. Psalms 126. So let us trubly praise cur ancestors, whose prophecies, and testimonies combined is the "word of God." Truth. Thus the Kingdom of Heaven "The Pool of Siloam" the whole system of Eden, is back on earth again, that we have heaven within, above and without in Jerusalem of old. New earth Rev. 21, Rev. 22:16 out, Rev. 19. Certainly the Scripturer says and one shall subribe with his hand, naming himself "the name of Israel" faithfully a scriptural recorded "sign or elect." MILLIE HANNAH TALAMANTOES The whole above are extracts from my (book & folder) published and copyrighted in 1924 and 1925, entitled, "THE POOL OF SILOAM", the embryo of the kingdom of heaven, A system of reform, peace and plenty, to end grinding poverty (the abiding slow death), by Millie Hannah Talamantoes. P. S.—And since the first publication of "The Pool of Siloam" book and folder in 1924-1925, the whole and only cause of increased floods, forest fires, dam breaks, even though by carelessness, the condition of the elements is inflamable, as also the elements easily ignite in electrical or lightning storms; and dry intense heat. It is the result of flesh—winter's wane. As dam breaks are the underground backing of waters. Thus all manner of plagues, pestilence (diseases), even icebergs' melting, intense heat, intense cold, mountains melting by earthquake, heavy rain or fire, all will continue until heaven is again established on earth flesh-spring.

Is it not possible that with a more aggressive and progressive attitude we might with our white brother help to manage some of the big concerns, especially where so many of our people are employed. Negroes have money on deposit in nearly every bank in the country. They have bought bonds, own stock or shares in almost every big business in the country, and shouldn't they have some representation on the board of managers or directors? Haven't they a right to ask for appointments of some members of their race on some of these boards? If our money is helping to build these institutions, we should be accorded the same privilege of other investors. We should be permitted to help run them. If we are not willing to put our money together and establish these businesses and industries ourselves, we should make some effort to help control those that are established. Liberty 2512 A.

At the Sunday School our women substituted as teachers for several of the classes. At the eleven o'clock service they took chance and opened the service in the regular crder. Mrs. S. E. Green was "Mistress of Ceremonies." A lilies' chorus furnished the music. Mother Scott was introduced, and preached a very acceptable sermon. At three P. M. Mrs. C. A. Bass was the speaker. To say the least she brought us a wonderful message. Those who were not present missed the opportunity of a lifetime. At 7:30 P. M. the Church was filled to witness the program given by the ladies. This was indeed a wonderful program and was greatly enjoyed by all. The ladies are to be congratulated for the splendid way they conducted the services.

There will be in connection with this Banquet, a musical program which will be pleasing to all hearers. A. 11 o'clock we had a special sermon from our pastor to the men, this being Men's Day. The words of the text were: "When I Was a Child, I Spake as a Child, I understood as a Child, I thought as a Child, but when I became a man, I put away Childish Thinks." It was indeed a sermon of force and power, and in this message the pastor endeavored to show to the men their position in the church-world and responsibility, and pleased with them to stand as men and not children. The 3 o'clock services were conducted by the Men, Rev. Adair, the visiting minister, preached a wonderful sermon, using for his text: "Upon this Rock, I will build my Church, and the very gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Mr. Grant of Los Angeles, gave a lecture to the men preceding the sermon, which was quite an intellectual treat to all present. We were especially favored with solos from friends of our sister church and we want them to know that we are very grateful for their service to us in our special service and at any time we can be of service to them we will be glad to reciprocate. 6:30 P.

CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY ~~ FROM THE 7 DISTRICT Taised so much hei, that Governor John W. Leedy, a Populist, and grand old man, Saw the light, and declared that the Twenty-Third Kansas Volun- teers would be officered from corporal to colonel by racé men. The close of the war found Kansas | Negroes badly disorganized. The po- litical spotlight that had played a daz- ene halo around that gallant knight, C. H. J. Taylor, register of deeds, Dis- trict o¢ Columbia, under Grover Cleve- land; EB. P. McCabe, once anditor of Kansas; John L. Waller, Minister to “Madagascar, seemingly was never again to shed brilliant rays around a black Kansan. Every fellow was a “leader” and no two were thinking the same thought. Who could devise some plan to unite the warring factions and again put the race sack into the high place jt once held in State and Nation- al politics? : Discussing the political plight of the race one Sunday afternon in the lob- by of the Chiles Hotel, J. B, Bass, who was then associated with Nick Chiles on the Topeka Plaindealer, declared that he was going to put forth an ef- fort to get the boys together. in u few days Mr. Bass, assisted by J. H. B, Taylor, and the ate Dr.°James A. Page, announced thd formation of the Kangas Lincoln Dey Club. The first meeting was held on the birthday of the great Emancipator in the Senate Chamber of the State House, follow- ed by @ brilliant banquet at Nick Chiles’ hotel on East Seventh ‘Street, in Topeka. It proved the greatest gathering of race men ever assembled in Kansas. Leaders from Missouri, Nebraska and Mlinois were in attendance to witness the interment of the hatchet by the Kansans, which was truly a love feast. Bass was made secretary of the or- ganization and from then on harmony reigned supreme in the State. Prof. W. T. Vernon, now a bisbop in the great A. M. E. Church, was made re- istrar of the United States Treasury through this organization and the sac- rificial personal service of the tireless secretary, Joseph B. Bass. From this time gn things political began to happen in Kansas. Old Joe donned his war togs and stayed on the firing line helping every fellow save himself. Paul Jones was given @ soft seat in the office of State Aud- itor, Geo. E. Cole; additional guards were put into service at the State pris. on and a drastic jaw against lynching was enacted by the: legislature. [Tt was in the fertile brdin of Joe Bass that the idea was conceived that Topeka could elect a Negro to the city coun cil. Approaching 'the late Fred Round. tree, principal of Monroe School, af ter much persuasion, finally succeed ed in convincing him that he coulc make the grade.. Mr. Bass took per: sonal charge of the campaign and suc ceeded in giving the capitol city of Ke her first jcounctiman of color | Me. Roundtree served with honor an: distinction until the city adopted the |commission form of government ant {made g strong race for commissioner || but the elimination of the ward sys }}tem released a ficod of white voter too great to oversonte. See te, BSR See eee cane in Kansas Capitol, where he grew from a barefoot boy into a sturdy, up: right, stalwart men—-always doing for his race. Past performances are an excellent example of what to expect of a man in his future actions, Bass has never asked for anything for bimself, but always helped the other fellow includ. ing Mr. Roberts, Ha is rich and ripe with years and experience “He ts bold brave and fearless, and if honored by the voters of his district will measure up round and full to. every require. ment. Now that we have men in the legislature who feel kindly toward the race, put a man in the Assembly with guts encugh to throw a safe- guard around our rights, before fhat ody becomes contaminated with “Heffins” who will besntirch our stat utes with black laws Nominate and elect Joseph Black- burn Bass, and the race will gain an inch. IRA SMITH Mrs, Charlotta A. Bass, Manager of the Bass-for-Assembly Club, as we go to press, announces that ‘a careful check up of the 74th District reveals the condition which causes her to feel absolutely safe in predicting the nomination of Mr, Bass by a substan- ‘lal majority over the present incum. bent who bas held this position for ‘the past ten years. - ‘Speaking further, the very energetic and astute woman’ manager, declares that willing ears have heard the mes- sage of progress and a firm promise to get somewhere for the district with the election of J. B. Bss, She says the citizens have tired of slip: shod methods and yearn for a MAN who can bring things to pass for the district. ‘The endorsement of Mr. Bass by the major organizations in the city, is but a straw showing the discontent which prevails an assures an over: whelming victory for Mr. Bass.

Thig desire is not immune to Negroes! “Here in California we evidently have not felt the full extent of this urge, for we sit slumbering, while the State moves on out of our reach— further and further each day, Here in this beautiful, rich and fertile state are thousands of men begging bread, while a few favored sons sit contentedly enjoying the spoils with their. friends, Most of -all, you sit here pleading to God, while your sons walk the streets in cursed idleness, your daughters dreaming around in shameless sin, you yourselves not able td make your bread ‘are being driven to distraction—as the “favored /sone” laugh at your stupidity. “You are not stupid, but you have not realized what the state can do for you.

Recently a man who ranks a8 one oy the intellectual lights of this city, said in the presence of a young man, Who is striving to make a success in bis business life, that when a man was a failure in business after many years’ effort, that that failure was an indi- cation of honesty. Ye Gods! what strange philosophy. To the young men and women of today—you who are preparing to be the business men and women of to- morrow, start visualizing now. Call it building air castles, if/you please, but whatever you call {t, hitch your hopes for success not on the housetops, but in the stars, remembering always ther if you are houest with yourself i “emaing Uhat you cannot be dishon- est to your fellowman} and upon this foundation, you can but erect for your- self such a business career that, will laugh at all disaster. ay Henry Ford is an unique example of America’s most successful business man. However, less than a half cen- tury ago, be mérely occupied a place as a farefoot boy in poverty row. But by persistent effort and honest deal- ing with men, this same unsophisti- cated Henry Ford, though sitting in his mansion by the side of the road a friend to man, is not only America’s most conspicuous example of a suc- cessful business man, but the world’s. “He who steals my purse, steals trash, but he who robs me of my good name, robs me of that which does not enrich him, but leaves me poor in- deed The man who smiles upon you in the name of friendship, but ere you turn your back, speaks evil of you, is after all, worse than the unknown thiet who breaks into your house when you are asleep and steals your wold The Last Appeal In the pending campaign, the para- /mount question arises—Who shall oc- cupy the seat at Sacramento set apart for the representative from the Seven- ty-fourth. Assembly District? | Assemblyman Frederick M. Roberts ‘has occupied that seat for ten years. ‘He is a gentleman, a scholar and the ‘son of one of Los ‘Angeles’ best fami- lies and we have, in previous elections ‘not omy endorsed hig candidacy, but supported him in every Jetail;' each time hoping that, because of his pres- ence as our sole representative at the capitol of the State, that something ‘worth while would happen that spoke for some group representation in this, our glorious State. But each time we have jogged along taking one step forward and two backwagd, until we have reached ghe place where pa- tience ceases to be a virtue. The men who have rendered great- est service to the world have been those who have come’ up from obscur- ity. In most cases those who were schooled in the academy of poverty. but who, because of their own bitter experiences desired to make the ‘world a better place for those who come after them—and of such is the character of the man we offer as Rob- erts’ successor at this time. _ At the age of three pears Joseph B. ‘Bass, as far as parental influence was concerned, was left alone in the world. He was, however, soon adopted by sturdy Kansas farmers, and while they had not the means with which to train “Little Joe” along the line of ethical culture they taught him that honest labor and an} unselfish attt- tude towards others should be his prime motives in life. “Little Joe” took their advice—he became a Kansas schbol teacher.
