On our way to press, we had a rath or hurried interview with Mrs. Marie Oyrs reet Jackson, who stated that when she heard of a vacancy at Blythe school, she applied for the position and received the appointment, but when she reached the town and learned something about prevailing conditions with regards to a segregat ed school, she immediately resigned.

"The Four Harmony Kings" and Their Origin Discussed
HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF CONTROVERSY BETWEEN TWO SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS BY: CHAS. E. DRAYTON
As to the Four Harmony Kings, they are doing fine and are still touring Europe. The present personnel of the famous Four Harmony Kings are: Ivan Harold Browning, first tenor; W. H. Berry, second tenor; Charles E. Drayton, baritone and John S. Crabbe, bass. The only change is the bass, which position was originally held by W. A. Hann. In a statement by the latter in The Chicago Defender of Aug. 30, he claims this quartett was created and named by him in 1917. There's no semblance of truth in that statement. If the idea in its inception had been his, don't worry, he wouldn't have missed such an opportunity to have affixed, heralded, featured, emplazoned, embossed and broadcasted the fact long before now. Therefore his extended tacity obtained for the obvious reason that he had nothing whatever to do with the creation of the quartett. The members of the original four were identified with the Hann Jubilee Singers, it is true; but I. Chas. E. Drayton, suggested the idea and afterwards assembled and rehearse the quartett. All this happened while on the road with the Jubilee company. On the company's arrival in Chicago my idea had been to earn expenses during our vacation from the Jubilee work.
Moreover Hann was taken in with the four, who were at that time W. H. Berry, William Burns, Wendell Tolbert and Charles E. Drayton. Wonder does he remember, or has he a lapse of memory, about how the original four got its name? No! I'll remind him, as I am younger.
We elected him to do the business for the four. God forbid the thought, he secured the services of one Lee (Crous as our agent. This agent asked, "What about a name?" Whereupon the reply had to be, "We have none." The business man for the quartett returned to the other three with Crous' inquiry along with num-(Continued on Page Three)

Dr. J. R. Hawkins, Head of National Activities of Colored Republicans, is Feted
Affer it was announced that his better half had passed the crisis in her illness which brought Or. John R. Hawkins to Los Angeles, things began to pick up and he received many callers at his suite at the Hotel Somerville.
As a result of the same there developed a luncheon at the dining hall of the Somerville Hotel on last Monday at high noon at which time quite 35 representative citizens gathered to pay their respects and give Mr. Hawkins an opportunity to state his case.
The Committee seemingly in charge was composed of Assemblyman F. M. Roberts, Chas. Olivier and John Fowler. No sentiment or state of the country was called for nor was any offered. The gathering * was much pleased by a short and illuminating address delivered by the distinguished guest. Assemblyman Roberts acted as toastmaster.
MASS MEETING 8TH & TOWNE
AVENUE CHURCH
The same Committee arranged for and conducted a Mass Meeting at historic Sth and Towne Ave, A. M. E. Church on the same evening.
DR. HAWKINS SPELL BINDER
At this meeting there were no prelimariles and with an introduction by Rev. J. H. Wilson, Dr. Hawkins made a most telling speech upon the issues of the day and in strong support of Hoover and Curtis.
His sincerity and forceful logic carried his hearers and made a lasting impression.
The only thing which marred the meeting was the audience. With a man of the magnitude of J. R. Hawkins as the attraction, there was evidently some bungle or lack of vision which was responsible for the absence of a huge crowd to greet him.
Eldorado Gold Star Mining Co., Inc., Makes Announcement

A fact practically unknown to the average Race citizen, is that a Colored aviator and one of the best in the world, participated in four of the historical races completed last Sunday at Mines Field.
Walter Swaggerty, a small, quiet, dark-brown skinned young man is the aviator who learned flying over a dozen years ago which fact has been verified by Prof. green of the "Y." who knew him when he first started. Swaggerty rapidly advanced from an expert mechanic to a first class birdman and for the recent Frisco to Hawaii Dole flight he qualified and was to pilot a splendid ship, which had been supplied him. Not holding a naviator's license, he was disqualified, and the ship was cracked up and destroyed by a white aviator before the take-off.
At the air-craft exposition at Mines Field, Swaggerty was employed by The Vellie Motor Co. to demonstrate their Monocoupe, a pilot and passenger plane of small dimensions and capable of taking off in a 100 foot run.
Substituting for Mr. Chas, Lajotte who had flown one Monocoupe here from Detroit, while his wife flew the other, Swaggerty raced on Friday, 14th in a small planes race and won 4th place. He also raced on the 8th, 12th and 18th. Besides this he made many trips at various times with passengers above the grounds and over the city.

W. E. Easton's Brother Crosses Great Divide At New Bedford
On the second day of August, there passed away in New Bedford, Mass. Charles Frederic Easton who in an unobtrusive way was a model man. The deceased was born in New Orleans in December of 1755 and left to mourn his death a widow, seven children and a bother, William Elijah Easton of Los Angeles
The morning daily paper of New Bedford had a photo-cut and quite a generous write-up of Mr. Easton. It stated among other activities that he had been identified with the Knights of Pythias for thirty years and at one time he was the Grand Chancellor for the New England jurisdiction and also the National Representative. Mr. Easton was a descendant of Hosea Easton of the Massachusets Colony and who during the American Revolutionary War was a Captain of Negro and Indian Scouts. A brother of Captain Hosiea was James, a civil engineer who drew the military plans for Breed's Hill, known in history as Bunker's Hill. There were three other brothers who were also distinguished for their activities in the American Revolution. The recently deceased always declared that the Negro was most deserving of his citizen, rights because he had heroically place the "stars" in the American flag. In the passing of Charles Easton we are fast seeing the original American disappearing from the present scene of action, but the glory of the American National will continue to owe the Negro every privilege and right of a true unabreviated American citizenship.

George Jones, the son of Rev. and Mrs. T. F. Jones, 1518 E. 108th St. South Los Angeles, has made an enviable record during the past few years as a Tenor singer; since early childhood he has shown a fondness for singing and seems to have been born with a spirit to sing.
For two years he has studied under Prof. John W. McKenzie of Oakland, California. During which time he gave numerous Radio programs and was considered a favorite on the Radio in northern California.
During his Musical Career he has sung before large audiences of people and has received favorable comment through the public press in many cities. In company with Mr. Edward Sanders he recently completed a concert tour of the State of Texas.
He will sing in the Tenor contest at David Starr Jordan High School, E. 103rd street, near Alameda Blvd. (Watts) Monday night, Sept. 24th.
He will also sing at 8th and Towne, First A. M. E. Church, Tuesday night, Sept. 25th.
Vital Message on the Proposition of Progress
Mentis Carriere spent his vacation in the East, during the month of August and part of September. While in the East, Mr. Carriere grasped the opportunity of making a survey of the economic condition of the masses of Negroes in New York, Chicago, Boston, New Orleans and other centers. He also studied economic methods of grave importance to the great number of Negro workers in supplying themselves with the necessities of life, namely: Food, Clothing and Shelter. Mr. Carriere attended sessions of the 29th Annual Session of the National Negro Business League, held in New York City during the month of August 15, 16 and 17th, where he delegates from practically every section of the country, depicting the economic and social condition of the people in their respective communities.
Immediately upon his return Mr. Carriere made a thorough report to
"IT IS INIMICAL to the best interest of all Americans to carry on the Presidential Campaign without injecting th question of race or color," so says one of our contemporaries.
"The Campaign From California," which, I presume to be an editorial, was well written and brim full of food for thought. As I read it, I was reminded of a Portuguese friend long since dead, who, upon one occasion of great suffering from frost bite cried, "How cruel it is that I should suffer so," seeing the poor fellow's agony, we suggested that he, pray asking God to relieve him of his pain, but he answered, "I only pray once a month and it is not my time now. You see God, He too busy—too many prayers for answer to answer me out of my time." Homely, but fairly good reasoning eh?
Well, anyhow, when we read the editorial from the pen of our contemporary, "The Campaign From California" we are reminded that he too, like the Portuguese, does not burden his readers with any weekly editorial meandering. When he writes, he has something to say. But, if he can at this time point out how the question of race and color can be kept out of the present campaign, we would certainly like to know it.
We would readily think in the terms of America for Americans, not white Americans nor Black Americans, but just Americans. How can we forget even in a presidential campaign that white is White and Black is Black when the question of color comes in for consideration.
The Black American in political, social and religious affairs, would gladly forget any color difference if there was not always everywhere that invisible sign, "this is for White Americans only," so the advice our editor gives is good, but not practical when offered to Black people.
BOB LYNCH, an old guard Republican, delivered a soustirring message at the Democratic Banquet last Monday evening at the Somerville Hotel. The banquet was given by the Women's Division of the "Smith for President Club." It was managed by Miss Theodosia Jones and was a success in every way.
FROM ALL APPEARANCES the Riverside authorities are trying to put something over in the Palo Verde Valley in the war of a segregated school, and are trying to make certain individuals the goats.
We have talked to two parties, vitally concerned as far as publicity goes, and both Dr. W. R. Carrier and Mrs. Marle Jackson declared that they are unattably opposed to segregation.
FAMED MEMBER OF MOSBY'S BLUES BLOWERS ORCHESTRA, SUCCUMBS TO RAVAGES OF TUBERCULOSIS
The local musical world is shocked. It was well known that Bob Williams, demon banjoist, with Curtis Mosby's Blues Blowers was suffering from the ravages of tuberculosis, but no one expected his death so soon. It was only the short space of a few months that Bob left Los Angeles for Arizona, where he hoped to recuperate his lost health. But, alas! he waited too late. Death has overtaken him.
We all remember well. Bob Williams, when the Blues Blowers held forth at the Lincoln Theatre. He, it was, who received applause after applause, for his clever mastery of the Banjo. We miss him.
Although Robinson was a member in good standing in the Masons, the Elks, the Odd Fellows and the Pythians, the Blues Blowers have requested permission to bear all expenses, out here so that his people in New York may receive the entire benefits from them. They are bringing the body to Los Angeles, where the body will lie in state for two days before being shipped East. Bob leaves a host of admiring friends. (Requiasit in pace.)
the executive committee of the Pyramid Co-operative Movement, in the United States and in Canada. The research done by Mr. Carrere in the Co-operative field shows conclusively that the officers and members of the Pyramid Co-operative Association, are right in their contention that the race cannot rise higher than its commercial achievements and the ability of the masses to provide themselves with the necessities of life. The public is urged to be present at Tabernacle Baptist Church, Hemlock near 13th street, Pentagon 27th, at 8 P. M., at which time Mr. Carrere will give his extensive report on the economic condition of the Negroes in this country, and, at the same time, offering a plan of uplift for the masses that is definite, scientific and safe.
THE NEGRO AND EDUCATION
THE NEGRO AND EDUCATION
In this day when preparation and efficiency has so much to do in fixing the status of the individual in society, the value of education cannot be over estimated, and no group of people should realize this more than the Negro. His previous condition as a servant for those of the other group, with the result that he is looked upon as inferior rather than the equal of others, makes it quite difficult for the Negro to demand the respect of the white race and obtain how consideration in any degree of desire can be obtained. Negro in order to obtain any degree of consideration from the other group he must possess a superior knowledge or become exceptionally proficient.
The racial barriers and handicaps to which we are subjected makes it absolutely necessary that the Negro must excel in education and training if he hopes to obtain his rightful place as a citizen and be given an opportunity to give expression of what the Negro is capable of doing.
This he cannot do if he does not study and apply himself. The young Negro of today never had a better opportunity to prove his ability and fitness to do big things and thus win the respect and admiration and a just and fair consideration of other people. He took more time to books and less time to Jazz, entertainment and social pleasure.
We should learn a lesson from the Japanese, many of whom when they come to this country cannot speak a word of English but they are not here long before they are competing with those of other groups in schools and in many cases leading their classes. But they do it by hard study. some lines of business he even excels the cusacian and done by him by hard study and close application to business.
These facts should be impressed upon the minds of our young people for there seems to be a tendency among them to try to imitate the idle rich by staying up late at night and spending much of their time and money in social pleasure and entertainment instead of spending it in studying.
Little excuse is being made for us now because our parents had little or no opportunity. We are expected today to stand fall and our merits and coming people who represent coming generation do not take advantage of the wonderful opportunities for education offered today through the schools. We as a race are sure to fall and "Great will the fall."

MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. L. M. Curtis, Pastor
S. S. at its usual hour, with Mr. Joe Jackson presiding in the absence of the Supt. The session was very interesting with many in attendance. Rev. T. C. Bledsoe reviewed the lesson, also a few remarks from our pastor. This being the day designated for our girls, every one needed to be in an audience. The devotional was conducted by the pastor, and Rev. T. C. Bledsoe prescheduled a wonderful sermon which was very instructive to the young people. The sermon was enjoyed by young and old.
At 8 o'clock the house was crowded to its capacity to witness the sacred program rendered by the girls, which was very interesting. A large number of girls were in attendance and did credit to themselves and our church as well. We cannot say too much in the way of praise for our girls. Their conduct in their appearance gives us brighter hopes for our future church. The girls are in charge of the services for the whole day—Miss Collins, directing; Miss Duckett, Pianist and Miss Taylor and Kelly assisting. The following day will be Boys Day. We are requesting our friends to come and encourage our boys as you did our girls. Rev. L. M. Curtis, the pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church has returned his trip to the National Convention, and reports a very delightful trip. It was quite a pleasant surprise to have our pastor with us in the services, Sunday.

Not Willing To Trade Bread For Beer
(By: A. N. P.)
Oscar DePriest, member of the Illinois Commerce Commission, and a candidate for Congress in the First District as successor to the jace Martin B. Madden, declared today his intention to support Herbert Hoover for president. Mr. DePriest who is a political power in the Second and Third Wards, the colored belt, said: "I am not willing to see the prosperity of America and the certainty of a loaf of bread traded for the uncertainty of a glass of beer. I want to see Mr. Hoover elected, although I am a wet." The senator Adelbert Roberts, head of the collar division of the western Republican organization, is launching a great mid-western campaign today. The 28 states in the territory of the western division of the Republican National Committee contains more than one million colored voters. The campaign will be conducted largely in the industrial centers.
In Illinois there are 155,000 color
ed voters; in Kentucky, 140,000; in
Tennessee, 250,000; in Ohio, $195,000;
in Indiana, 60,000; in Missouri, 130,
000; in Michigan, 80,000; in Nebras
Wisconsin, 10,000; and in the borders
of the remaining states approximately
20,000.

Splendid Year Planned For State College
(Bv: A N P.)
Orangeburg, S. C. Sept. 10—State College is getting ready for one of the greatest openings of its history, September 26. President R. S. Wilkinson said today. The attendance last session, 1537, was the largest in the history of the college and this year a still larger increase is expected, as the present enrollment of new students is far ahead of the usual figure. Extensive improvements have been made this summer in the buildings, including renovation of halls, heading, and light, sanitation, and painting inside and out. Among improvements going at the college during the summer, the most notable are being EIGHT—made at the library. This will be ready for use by the time the college opens.
Splendidly equipped dormitories will provide space for students. An elaborate library will facilitate intensive study and research. Modern laboratories with interested technicians will support scientific courses. There will be more than seventy professors, assistant professors, and instructors, graduates of ranking colleges and universities, specialists in their respective fields. Adequate practice teaching facilities are provided for the prospective classroom teacher. A school physician and a registered nurse will assist in keeping students of the institution "fit."
Athletics, both major and minor, including football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, wrestling and boxing, will carry on in season in addition to the Physical Education program, thus championship teams are consistently developed.
One of the many additions to the college curriculum for the year 1928-29 will be the new department of Religious Education. A certificate course will be offered students who wish to major in religion, without being a candidate for a degree. These courses meet the needs of students preparing for the ministry and the missionary fields.

Fugitive Returned Home To Protect Mother
(By: A. N. P.)
Bay St. Louis, Miss., Sept. 10.—Because he feared for the safety of his mother, against whose life, threats of lynching were made, Slase Richardson, who ten days ago shot his way out of the county jail, here, was again in custody of local officers, Mendel. Nearly two weeks, Richardson was arrested and auto theft charge and was placed in the county jail. When the chief of police, accompanied by John Dambrinb, white, entered Richardson's call to search him, the youth is said to have drawn a revolver, shooting Dambrinb through the head and seriously injuring the police chief.
Richardson told officers today that he escaped to New Orleans the same day by way of freight train. While he there stated that he gained employment, working under his same name. It was there also that he read in the papers that he was being, sought and that threats of lynching his mother and other relatives were being made back in Bay St. Louis. Last Sunday Richardson returned to his home, where he rejoined his family. He was arrested Monday when a colored neighbor reported to officers that he had seen a queer something from the world. Because of intense feeling against the life of the alleged slayer, he was taken to Jackson, where he is now-in-jail, held without bond, for action of the grand jury.
All through the week several packs of bloodhounds and infuriated white men scoured the countryside in search of the alleged slayer. Police say that Richardson offered no resistance and carelessly ran into the culty. He tol dpolice that while he was feeling bloodhounds came within two yards of him.

Lucy, a little French Lady, is five years old, and Johnny, a Pole, is three. After pounding into Johnny with motherly authority, looking behind his ears and examining his wearing apparel, Lucy spies a rip, and forcing him across her lap, wields triumphantly her domestic weapons. This is a busy, happy day—kindergarten, lunches—so much play that "Five o'clock" comes sneaking thru

Pasadena Notes
BY: W. MATT SOLOMON
The home of Mr. and Mrs. James K. Harris of South Oak Kuoll was the scene of a beautiful setting on last Saturday when a birthday luncheon was given in honor of her mother, Mrs. Emma French who has been living with them for some time. Many useful and pretty gifts were received and all enjoyed a pleasant afternoon. Those present were Meshesa Pearl Thompson of Louisville, Ky.; Mother Turner; Bertha Turner; Junita Hall; Sallie Richardson Corpul of Denver; J. M. Johnson; Chicago; McCanten; Z. Groner; Olga Harris Groner and E. French.
Rumor was prevalent last week that as the result of an accident by being knocked from the road by a passing autoist, Rev. J. M. Brown and party had been seriously injured, but investigation proved that neither had received any injury. Very fortunate for them as the car was knocked over in a ten foot ditch. Altbough the car was badly shaken up they succeeded in getting it repaired. The accident occurred in Arizona.
Lee Williams, one of the older citizens of Pasadena took suddenly ill last week and had to be confined to his bed.

The indoor picnic on last Thursday night in the Social Hall of Friendship Baptist Church was a decided success eclipsing all former occasions of like nature. There was more than enough to eat for the crowd of 300 persons which included all classes from the cradle roll to grown ups. Three long tables were set, besides smaller tables for the kiddies and a special table for the guests, at which sat Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Johnson: Mrs. M. Caviness and Mrs. E. O. Solomon. All class yeals were had by the respective departments led by Capt. Wm. Reynolds which was the occasion for much hilarity and the kids too had theirs. After remarks by the superintendent and the departmental superintendents, who were introduced to the visitors by Mrs. Solomon who spoke most encouragingly of their work the crowd soon departed to their many homes after a mighty pleasant evening. The culinary department was busy sorting the many baskets at their disposal under the supervision of Mrs. Calmore Harris and her many

The Trustees Day at Friendship last Sunday was the occasion for the assembling of a large afternoon crowd to hear Mrs. Charlotta A. Bass speak She used for a subject: "Material vs. Spiritual" urging a great cooperation in business activities. Her sound argument and affluent speech held her audience spell-bound for an hour while she cited incidents making for a greater race should we follow a closer line of business institutions and support them. The Trustees should feel justly proud to have procured Mrs. Bass's services on this occasion as she beautifully blended the material with the spiritual in the establishing and mantaining of the "Negro in the business world. After the address scores went forward and most heartily complimented her expressing a desire to hear her again.
Excellent music was furnished by the choir of 50 voices from the Progressive Baptist Church, under the direction of Prof. Austyn of which Church Rev. W. P. Carter is pastor, one of the youngest Baptist ministers on the Coast: he is known for his aggressiveness.
Mrs. Maggie Brown is stopping at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. Overr on Pepper St., pending her leaving for Denver to join her husband who has a charge at that place.

THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT
It is universally known that Los Angeles has long since become the established center for winter tourists. But it is fast becoming the center of attraction for summer excursionists as well. Among those who have recently become enamoured with Los Angeles and vicinity while visiting in our midst, are Medames A. D. Harts of St Josph, Ph. Mo., Satlie Jackson and Caddie Jett Lawson of Kansas City, Mo.
In an interview with an Eagle reporter just prior to entraining for home they expressed themselves as being so in love with Los Angeles that they would immediately upon their return to their respective homes, proceed to arrange for a return trip with a view of making this their future home.
Mrs. Hart's of St. Joseph, Mo., is one of its outstanding women characters, prominent in social, religious and fraternal societies, as well as civic affairs. Mrs. Sallie Jackson is interested in outdoor relief work in her city in the capacity of assistant secretary of the Urban League. Mrs. Caddie Jett Lawson is assistant secretary and vice-president of the Women's Clubs of Kansas City, Mo., and also chairman of the annual relief societies which contribute in a large measure to the happiness and welfare of the delilhouque and unfortunate children. The Angeleneos welcome such news that characters of this type contemplate a return trip to our city with a view of making this their home; and becoming as active in our midst as their reputations indicate in their own respective localities.

Women's Smith for President Club's Banquet Scene of Republican Converts for All
Nearly 100 supporters of the Demo-
cratic presidential ticket assembled
Monday evening at a banquet in the
Somerville Hotel. The meeting wa-
under the auspices of the Women's
Smith for President Club and was
opened by the local manager of that
organization, Miss Theodora V. J.
Miss Jones introduced Jim Alexander
campaign manager for the men's
or organization, who acted as toastmaster.
Among those speaking was Mrs. C. A. Bass, who stressed the importance of the Colored people "placing their votes where they will do good." The principal speaker of the evening was Mr. Tom Lynch, a former Republican, who declared that he had left the Republican Party "because of its hypocrisy and failure to keep its promises to the people of the nation." Mr. Lynch then pointed out case after case of discrimination by the Republican Party against the Colored people of the nation, and stressed the fact that Colored voters had for years clung vainly to the Republican Party despite the fact that they have never been treated fairly.
In opening the meeting Miss Theodora Jones predicted that the Colored vote in Los Angeles City will be practically solid in the Democratic column this year.
FOUR HARMONY KINGS
(Continued from Page One)
erous suggestions as to dress, bookings, etc. Hann says, "Boys, when we meet tomorrow we will bring in name suggestions." But Crows went ahead and named us "The Four Kings of Harmony.
The paper editors on the road, in speaking of the quartet sometimes made the corruption "Harmony Kings." We liked it better and used the latter. It was shorter and easier to say. So Hann as usual is trying to hog the spotlight. But come again, Bo, even on trying to "hog" the name of "Four Harmony Kings" for your new bunch.

S. B. W. May elected a member of the Republican County Central Committee. Mr. May received his notification of his election on last Saturday, September 19, 1925. He wished to thank all of his friends and electors in the 73d Assembly District who supported him more loyalty and brought about his successful election as a committeeman. He wants to assure you that it was one of the happiest moments of his life on receiving this notice, which proved to him that he has so many loyal friends and supporters in the 73d Assembly District and in Los Angeles.
"I have served the public here in Los Angeles as a public servant for very nearly ten years. I have at all times tried to be honest, upright, and fair in all my destings. Your loyal support given me on the day of the Primary election Tuesday, Aug. 28th, 1923 assures me that you have appreciated my services and for that and many other reasons. I shall even try to do better and be more efficient than in the past. I shall serve you to the best of my ability while I am your committeeman. Count on me."
"Los Angeles is my home. My family and I have enjoyed the many years in which we have resided here. We like Los Angeles, its people, and we hope to remain here in the future."
"Again I wish to assure my apre-
"Again I wish to assure my appreciation for your loyal support."
In that your mathettics are wet. The Keith people see the three, not the one. The statement of Aug. 3th was supposed to be a reply to what Mr. Browning had said in a previous issue, but in truth was no reply, for Browning called attention a true state of affairs, and regardless of Browning not being an orifinal member, does not efface the seven years of his pure effort for the success of the "Four Harmony Kings."
This article is written only to enlighten the reading public as to the facts of a seeming controversy. These statements are by the only originator and creator of the still famous "Four Harmony Kings," who are now in England playing the leading Cinemar and Variety Theatres.

CHURCH NEWS
YEAR
This Sunday will mark the close of the Conference year at Wesley. This is the twelfth Conference year closing for pastor Shaw.

Indications are that the reports of this year will be in advance of the very excellent reports last year. The Conference will be held in Santa Barbara beginning next Tuesday. Pastors Jordan of Passadena, Beane of Hamilton, Stout of Shaw Mission and Shaw of Wesley with several laymen will be in attendance.

SUCCESSFUL YEAR
The Hamilton M. E. Church, E. 18th street and Naomi Ave., will close its conference year, Sunday, September 23rd. The pastor will preach the closing sermons at the 11 o'clock and 7:30 o'clock services. This church has had a very successful year's work. The membership has been increased very largely and the church and conference benevolences are far in advance of last year. All claims have bee paid in full. Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the church was the installation of a pipe organ at a cost of $5050.00, which lends dignity and solemnity to the services of the church. More than five thousand dollars have been raised during the year for the work of the church. This is no mean accomplishment for the work of the year. The public is cordially invited to be present at the services of this church Sunday and hear the reports of the years work. The pastor and officers of the church take this opportunity to thank the members and friends of the church for their interest, loyalty, and service during the year.
INDIAN CHIEF AT CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH
The Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, corner of Verdon and Hoper Avenues, will be the scene of two special services this Sunday, Sept. 23rd.

At the evening service which comes at 5:00 o'clock Chief Manitowoc, a full blooded Indian of the Siwish tribe, will be the speaker and will bring a message that every one will profit by hearing.

DRUGGED-DRUNK
EVANGELIST DIES
CURSING CAUSE
GIVES HOSPITAL NURSE HIS
LOVES AND MONEY
Birmingham, Ala. - Douglass, McDuffie, evangelist, picked up drunk and dringed from the street gutter, died last week in a local hospital.
He had just closed a three-week revival in a C.M.E. Church and left the church with two grips of money.
According to McDuffie's confessions shortly before his death, he has been a habitual drunkard and dope fiend, under the guise of a preacher, a robber and a hypocrite. He died cursing claiming that hell would be his goal.
McDuffie was known the country over as a revivalist and a religious fanatic.
He claims to have owned a palatial home in New York City and one in Philadelphia.
GIVE NURSE HIS MONEY
When carried to the hospital he fell in love with one of the nurses and gave her all his money, telling her that she was the only woman he ever loved.
For McDuffie this was unusual as he is known to have held an aversion to womankind so far as personal admiration went.
This love at first sight and extreme genius rests on the part of the dying evangelist, raised the jire of his attendants who resented the nurse's acceptance.
Physicians attributed his death to a long habitual use of drugs and whiskey.
KNOWN IN BALTIMORE
An evangelist who called himself Douglass McDuffie, was well known in Baltimore where he held revivals at Bethel A. M. E. Church several years ago.
He preached especially against card playing and dancing and marched his congregation through the nearby streets to stir up "rousements." He claimed many conversions.

Consolation
BY: JEAN CARTER CUFFEE
Cast thou thy burden whatever thou know
Upon the vacuity, of time
Look then dear child upon thin brow
And see that thou hast done no crime.
Cease then thine heart from bitter care
Thrust bitter sorrows to the past
Look up to God and feel no fear
We who laugh first shall weep last.
Think not of fortune lost nor friends
Think not of burdens heavy borne,
We who endureth to the end
Shall lift our head above their scorn
Think not thy God is merciless
He knoweth all thou doeth or say
For after all thou shall be blessed
He works in a mysterious way.
Fate cannot rob thee of thin own
Nor cunning bickery defeat
Vile men still come, good men have
Vile men still come, good men have gone
Bone men will never retreat
But justice will never retreat.
The words that's spoken in the, dark
Must some day be brought to light
The Eagle's hand can wound the Lark
But God is just and God is might.
The wheel of justice moveth slow
The wings of evil rapid go
Banks of the river overflow
The stream knoweth not where to go.
So is a heart with sorrow burst
With hopes and ambition crushed,
Robbed of all it held near and dear
With not a loving friend to cheer
Thrust out upon life's ocean wide
We cannot go against the tide
But he who ignorantly doth sin
God's mighty hand will bring him in.
Bread on the water that was cast
For good or evil comes back at last
He who his moral duty slack
Divinity will surely bring him back.
The day of thy redemption draweth
nigh
Cease now, dear one, to gine or sith
For God alone can right the wrong
In due time thou shalt proclaim thine
own
Strive not nor battle for thy right
The sinner's day, shall soon be night
Close now thy door to all was done
and said
Weep never more, 'tis finished, thou
has paid.
Crush not the beggar because he is
down
In passing by, oh, do not frown.
An honest soul or he would steal
Demons riches to conceal.
We know not who has made him so
We know where we have gone
Yet know not where we must go
For he who sins alas, must atone.

"From his conversation it was quite evident that he and the citizens of the Palo Verde Valley had been considering the matter for some time and had definitely decided upon a procedure of segregation whether it suited the Negroes or not. Realizing the intense feeling expressed by him was subsequent matter for the people Affiant stated that in the City of Los Angeles wherever there was an appreciable number of Negroes in any of the Public Schools, we saw to it that at least one Negro teacher was employed, in order to establish interracial contact, thereby preventing inter-racial hatred from growing between the races. Affiant suggested to him that inasmuch as there was less friction in the lower grades it might be well to try the employment of a Negro teacher in the Elementary Department of the schools. It was not Affiant's intention and it is not now to have in any way made any attempt to Professor Scott or anybody that Affiant's remarks be construed to establish a separate room or segregated schools for Negroes. Affiant's only thought was that in the employment of a Negro teacher to teach in the schools a better inter-racial feeling might be established. Mr. Scott apparently approved of the suggestion and stated that he would undertake at once to employ a Negro teacher realizing that a mistake might be made.
"Affiant told Mr. Scott that the only way to work out an amicable situation there was to secure the interest of Rev. Haywood and the other Negro ministers of the Palo Verde Valley; that they were the nearest persons to the Negroes and that the Negro preachers would help materially in establishing a better feeling and that nothing could be done in the Negro group without the interest and support of the Negro preachers. Affiant does not understand how this remark could be construed to say that Rev. Haywood or any other minister was in favor of separate schools. Personally Affiant knows Rev. Haywood is unalterably opposed to separate schools and has so expressed himself on several occasions.
"From time to time Affiant has spoken in the St. Paul Baptist Church at Blythe, California, urging the people of the Valley to stand solid against any form of separation or segregation in the public schools system and that while the Negro teacher is indeed for racial and inter-racial service that never once be it understood that Affiant was in favor of separate schools but on the contrary would do everything to prevent the same."
"Upon Mr. Scott's request Affiant recommended persons for the Palo Verde Elementary Schools but this recommendation was made upon the thought that there would be teachers regularly employed in the regular elementary system to teach anybody in their grades and in no sense be separate or segregated section.

"Social Equality Bogey in South
New York, Aug. 31. - Politicians are working overtime to inject "social equality" as an issue in the political campaign in the South. Clipings received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People show that efforts are being made to tar both Hoover and Smith with this stigma.
Sample of the type of argumentation being used are as follows: (From an editorial in the Scotland Neck, N. C., Commonwealth)
"Misthit Hoover' the Secretary of Commerce and G. O. P. presidential politicians, North and South.
"He has become suddenly a hero in their eyes. Has he not done all he could to further the ambitions of social equality sponsored by such organizations as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Has he not at the demand of this and other radical Negro organizations, let down the bars at the Washington offices of the Department of Commerce and allowed Negroes or rob shows with white workers, most of whom are girls?" On the other hand Governor Smith is charged with the "social equality" issue because northern Democrats failed to help defeat the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill in the House. Quoting Senator Tom Hoffin, the Clarksdale, Ga. Advertiser, writes:
"The bill encountered the crime and put a premium on the crime of rape and murder of a white woman by a Negro and required the race insulted and offended the white race in the country to pay the premium for the commission of the crime by the Negro.

Among other resolutions unanimously adopted these two stand out: 1st—On Monday morning, Sertt 17th, all parents having children in the first and second grades carry them to school and if any attempts be made to put them in a separate class under the colored teacher, their children and parents return home. 2nd—That Mrs. Marie O. Jackson, being an intelligent and educated person, believing her to be a race woman, be asked to cooperate with the colored citizens in fighting every form of segregation.
Mrs. Jackson was not able to give at the present time, any definite statement. However, the committee of women who put the conditions before Mrs. Jackson, await any statement she may care to make, it is reported that there were three students in Mrs. Jackson's room the day school opened—One Mexican, One Indian and one Colored.

Business is reported—as in the great book, to be ten fold. This is an experiment that is worth while looking into. She is having, it seems, success where others are forced to shut their door because of poor business—This is truly a Bible lesson proven in daily practice.

Herbert Hoover, Nominee of the Republican Party for the Presidency of the United States, in his formal acceptance of the nomination before more than 75,000 persons, August 11, 1955, at Palo Alto, California said: "The powers of our republic proounded the need for a government that all men are created to do, and all should have equality before the law."
He further stated: "Equality of ep-
portunity is the right of every American—rich or poor, foreign or native-born, irrespective of faith or color. It is the right of every individual to attain that position in life to which his ability and character entitle him to maintenance shall we hold open the Door of Opportunity to every new generation, to every boy and girl. It tolerates no privileged classes or castes or groups who would hold opportunity as their proximate. Only from confidence that this right will be upheld can flow that unbounded courage and hope which stimulate each individual man and woman to endeavor and to achievement."

EDITORIAL
MAY ITS TRIBE INCREASE
We are in receipt of a four-page bulletin published at Dallas, Texas, named "Brotherhood Eyes." Its mission is set forth in live and crisp paragraphs all of which stands for a greater activity among the group along business lines. We are partial toward this sort of publication and if we had more of them sincerely devoted to racial advancement we would get somewhere.
We were further impressed where we noted the valiant fight being made by this publication on crooked and self-appointed leaders. We see much good in the Brotherhood and may its tribe increase.
ACTION IS THE WORD
Mr. Hawkins, generalisimo of the National Republican forces in so far as the Colored contingent of the party is concerned has come and gone. While here we take it that he got an earful and saw more than he could possibly be told. Out of it all, we are concerned only in action. It is of small moment to us who acts, just so there is some "acting done."
CAN THEY DO IT?
In our last week's issue we took occasion to rattle some dry bones from the newspaper graveyard in and around Los Angeles. We did not bother all of the graves and since refreshing our memory there were exactly 7 carcasses which we failed to drag forth.
As we said before we welcomed all of them to the field of journalism. At the same time we have not failed to advise of treacherous ground and almost certain failure. We are aware of the fact that invariably, every mother's son or daughter thinks they can do a certain thing better than the person who is at the bat. This rule holds good in almost every angle of endeavor regardless of whether the person with the thought has ever brought things to pass, or not.
For instance there are those who think they can beat Wm. Nickerson, Jr., running an insurance company Hartley Jones, running a building and loan association; Watson Burns, running a pool room or managing prize fighters or even Mrs. Fay (Jackson) Robinson, as a feature writer.—But the great question is, CAN THEY DO IT?
EMANCIPATION DAY
Next Sunday, September 22nd is the real Emancipation day. It is the day of all days in so far as the Colored people of America are concerned. On this day, September 22, 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the document, which struck the shackles of slavery fro mthe limbs of four million souls. Therefore on next Sunday this people have enjoyed 65 years of civilization in America.
We stand here looking to the future with no regrets for the past for the simple fact that wq have overcome. For nigh unto 300 years we sang the sorrow songs and can now in a measure sing the songs of rejoicing and triumph.
We join gaily in celebrating July 4th, the anniversary of America's freedom. Then surely the anniversary of the freedom of a race should be the perpetual signal for universal celebration and joy.
As a component part of those who think as we do along this line the California Eagle has joined hands with one of its esteemed contemporaries, "The Pacific Defender" and will give a great Exposition and Carnival as a part and parcel of this day and for the coming week, starting Saturday, the 21st to the 30th inclusive, joy and a general good time will be offered at the White Sox Baseball Park to which all peoples are invited to turn out and take part.
THE HIT-AND-RUN MENACE
It is hardly necessary to say that every effort should be made to apprehend motorists who flee from the scene of an accident leaving a victim helpless in the road. Such a person offends all sense of decency and every dictate of civilization.
One appreciates that for a moment a motorist might be panic-stricken when he realizes he has struck down a fellow being. But he who yields to fear and flees the scene convicts himself of cowardice. Bue he, who, actuated only by sunning, leaves a human being in distress, is worse than a coward.
An appeal to manhood where there is no manhood is futile. So long as there is a possibility of escaping the consequences of carelessness there will be those who will attempt it.
The only effective check against the hit-and-run driver is increased efficiency of th police in ferreting out such offenders and a severity of the courts that will make an attempted escape a greater hazard than stopping after an accident to render assistance to the injured and face the consequences. For people who are actuated by fear make the consequences of abonding a victim a cause for greater fear. Make it clear to the cunning that their greater advantage lies in admitting responsibility for the accident if the fault is theirs.
And the public can help abolish the hit-and-run driver by letting the motorist know that should he stop his machine he will not become the victim of mob violence.
PEDESTRIAN HAS RIGHTS
The pedestrian has a right to a sporting chance in crossing the street.
That this is strange, almost revolutionary, doctrine, is admitted. The potentates and powers that rule the thoroughfares seem never to have heard of it. From the traffic cop to the makers of traffic rules, they are interested only in parking restrictions, parking places, one-way streets, all kinds of turns for vehicles, tail lights, hand signals, traffic lines, speed limits—anything and everything connected with vehicular traffic. But they pay little or no attention to regulations designed to make it safe and easy for the pedestrian to cross the street.
Pedestrians in this motor age seem to be regarded as nuisances who venture into the street at their own risk. The talk is all of making it more convenient for the motorist. Not a word is said about making it less perilous for the pedestrian.
To the motorist the pedestrian is sometimes a nuisance, yet walking is as necessary as motoring, even to the automobile or truck driver.
It is the established rule of the street that sidewalks are for pedestrians and driveways for vehicles, but the street intersection is neutral ground to which all forms of traffic have equal right. Plainly it is the duty of both driver and pedestrian to be cautious and courteous and for the traffic officer to give all an equal chance at the street crossing.
COMMUNITY PROGRESS
While Los Angeles has much to boast of at it considers past achievements, it would be sheer folly at this stage of its community development to rest content with past laurels and cease striving for future advancement.
Los Angeles' present high standing among centers of equal population has been won by foresight and aggressive policies in the past. This generation should be just as eager to assure an enviable future for the community as were those men of former generations who often fought a stiff, up-hill fight to
the committee because he could not in conscience associate myself with political parasites and pretenders." He, Church, goes on to say, "To the charge that I am not a good follower I plead guilty if I am to follow the ballot box men who have no ballot to cast and who have not the moral courage to attempt to cast one or cry out against the crime of disfranchisement in their states". That last was the unkindest cut of all.
It would enhance the chances of Herbert Hoover for election if some political genius of California would be enlisted in the national drive. For adepts in political strategy we would have the Hon. Alexander McCabe plan for the astute Thomas Finn to execute. We would loan them Ray Benjamin to inject some "Pep" and Leo Youngblood to kick in with suggestions. Then if they must have the J. C. section, John Taylor can give those frock coat, non voters, who are messing up things by ideas which savor of a church financial rally, many pointers on how to run a political campaign from a practical stand. Well, we won't forget Charlie Alston, and a bunch of them south of Tehatchipi who would devise some means to stop this great deflection of the Negro vote.
If the Negro citizen was as eager to get to the fore along the ines of economic endeavor as he is to shine in the limelight of politics he would be getting somewhere along the road of progress. If he would strive as hard to establish business; to make his mark in the field of lucrative production as he does to acclaim political loyalty, he might cut some figure as a worthwhile. Exercise your franchise as a citizen and don't forget that citizenship carries obligations other than the putting in office of men who raise issues and then becloud them with unintelligible verbiage. Don't lose sight of the fact that the possession of a productive farm or acreage is of more importance, just now, than who will occupy the White House. Watch the men whom you select to represent you in the Congress. See how they stand on all of the questions which affect our national prosperity. On the question of Public Utilities and Farm Relief, Racial Discrimination and Prohibition Enforcement, it is not so much as what Herbert Hoover of Alfred Smith may think or say as what your representatives will do. We often overlook the real points of the horse by our admiration of the head only.
We would have been very proud to have seen the judges at the California State Fair pin a prize ribbon on some product exhibited by a Race man or woman. We wandered about for days among the displays of luscious fruits and varied cereals; blooded stock and pedigreed swine; registered poultry and domesticated fur bearing animals. In fact, such an exposition of resources was never displayed by any commonwealth. Yet in all of this great show of farm, orchard and forest we could not point to one and say this is the production of one of mine. I am doubly proud from the fact that it was produced under a great handicap. Let us trust that when the next exhibit is made that we will exercise our right to enter the economic competition with the same zest as we strive to obtain leadership in the arena of politics.
WEEKLY SURVEY—
Due to repeated requests and solicitations, herewith is submitted the following item from 16 California Law Review 346 (May, 1928):
Constitutional Law: Schools and School Districts: Power to Classify Chinese as Colored Persons—Section 207 of the Constitution of Mississippi ordains that "separate schools shall be maintained for white and colored races." Martha Lum, nine years of age, born in Mississippi of Chinese ancestry, was refused admission to a school maintained for the white race. A writ of mandate was issued to the school authorities, ordering that she be granted admittance. There was an appeal from the order to the Supreme Court of Mississippi. Held: Writ dismissed. Rice v. Gong Lum (1925) 139 Miss. 760, 104 So. 105.
The court exhaustively treated the meaning of the term "colored," and, over the vigorous protest of counsel for Martha Lum, decided that the word, as used in the Mississippi Constitution, included Mongolians. Numerous authorities had been cited on both sides as to the scope of the term. The case was then carried to the Supreme Court of the United States on a writ of error. That court held that the maintenance of separate schools for the white and colored races did not conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. In support of this conclusion was cited the early case of Roberts v. City of Boston (1849) 5 Cush. (Mass.) 198, and other authorities. It also decided that the issue between white and yellow pupils was not different from that between white and black pupils, and that the separation of the two groups was within the discretion of the state in regulating its public schools. Gong Lum v. Rice (Nov. 21, 1927)—U. S.—, 72 L. Adv. Ops. 79, 48 Sup. Ct. Rep. 91.
What races are included within the term "white" has been a subject of much judicial concern in this country. The array of authorities in the briefs of counsel and the opinion of the court in Rice v. Gong Lum, supra, bears out the assertion. The question has arisen repeatedly in connection with the naturalization statutes. As might be expected, there has been some inconsistency. In the case of Akhay Rumar Mozumdar (1913) 207 Fed. 115, it was held that a high-caste Hindu was a "free white person" within the naturalization statute. In 1923 and again in 1925, it was held that a high-caste Hindu was not a "white person" within the meaning of the statute, and that the words "were to be interpreted in accordance with the understanding of the common man, from whose vocabulary they were taken,' that they were words of common speech not of scientific origin." United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923) 261 U. S. 204, 43 Sup. Ct. Rep. 338, and United States v. Ali (1925) 7 F. (2d) 728. In People v. Hall (1854) 4 Cal. 399, the court, after discussing the current scientific theory that Chinese and Indians were of the same racial stock, concluded that a Chinese was an Indian within the purview of a statute excluding Indians from testifying in certain cases. However, in the same opinion the court stated that where one of the statutes in question classified peoples as black and white, "black" included all non-whites, ergo Chinese. The decision in People v. Hall was followed in a later case involving the identical point. Speer v. See Yup. Co. (1859) 13 Cal. 73. A few months later, a Turk, darker than the Mongolian, was said to be "white." People v. Elyea (1859) 14 Cal. 144.
In Massachusetts a progressive viewpoint has long since displaced the spirit and influence of Roberts v. the City of Boston, Supra. In California, although the case of Ward v. Flood (1874) 48 Cal. 36, upheld separate public schools for children, the later case of Wysinger v. Crookshank (1890) 82 Cal. 588, declared them illegal. The different decision was based on the change from the state law of 1874, Cal. Stats. 1870, p. 838, to that governing the question in 1890, Cal. Stats.

But to the things that must be done if the community is to progress along desirable lines of commercial, industrial and residential expansion and betterment, there must be no diminution of that spirit of cooperation and willing effort on the part of a considerable number of citizens which has been manifested in all its past accomplishments.

COMMENTS
BY: W. J. WHEATON
It is a relief to get away from the "blah" of politics, with its meaningless words and "buncum," to watch the task to which men and women of the faith of the Master have set themselves; Christianity's task to end racial hate. The International Missionary Council convened at Jerusalem. Their deliberations were held in the shadow of the Mount of Olives where the founder of the Christian faith delivered His message to the world. A message that has stood the test of criticism and laid the foundation of our civilization. This conference sought to devise ways whereby the principal command, "Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself," should become a fact and envy, hatred and the baser things which blight the lives of the peoples of the earth should become minimized if not entirely banished. Gathered in this conference were men and women representing every race, nation and tongue on the globe. Professors from universities exchanged their ideas with noted theologians. Men from India and the Philippines told how greed had despoiled them of their natural rights. Early in the conference it was seen that the old "superiority" attitude, Nordic superiority, would not be acceptable. One of the speakers, the first day of the conference, said that he could not share the complacency of those who talk about all the good things we have to offer backward peoples when we could not point out a single country in Europe where a real Christian civilization exists. Another from the United States admitted that he came from a nation which is, in some respects, pagan, which subscribes to the doctrine of militarism and has given itself over to the pursuit of wealth. This conference was a representative one. Britishers and Indians, North Americans and Fillipinos, Japanese and Koreans, African and American Negroes, whites from "Dixie" all worked together to devise special ways for the Christian forces to lead in the abolishment of racial hatreds. Mr. Inman, in writing of the conference said: "The idea of race superiority was not admitted for a moment at the Jerusalem conference, and the conference itself believes that the basis of race prejudice is economic." In lands where races live side by side participation by all in racial intermingling for social, cultural and religious fellowship was declared to be the natural expression of Christianity, and was welcomed as a step toward world-wide understanding.
We wonder with what minds the conferees from the Southland of the United States approached the subjects? Were their minds oren to the arguments that "Of one blood God created all men," or did that fallacy of color superiority blind them and minimize their efforts to exalt the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God? We wonder if in the shadow of the Mount of Olives they vowed to return to the land of their nativity and preach the Christian spirit of brotherly-love, which their Master so emphasized? If so, we can look for an awakened spirit of tolerance: For a true exemplification of the Christ spirit.
The latest propaganda of race intolerance comes from Jugoslavia where the Jewish people are being made the targets of a religious fanaticism. They are spreading the tale that in every Jewish synagogue a Christian child is immured. Whenever a child is missing the cry goes out that it is the victim of a Jewish outrage. Although these rumors have always been found to be false, it has taxed the vigilance of the authorities to prevent pogroms and blood-shed. The task of banishing intolerance and race antipathy from the complex of mankind is a huge one. It calls for courage such as is seldom possessed in the make-up of any single human. Many make brave gestures but wilter under the crucial test. Conferences, such as was held by the International Missionary Society at Jerusalem avail nothing unless the participants carry back to their homes and countries the will to sacrifice. They must be willing to face derision and, may be, social ostracism, if they seek to carry out their ideas. Will the men and women of the conference who represented America's Southland face that test unflinching?
The Hon. Robert Church writes a rather scathing letter to the Hon. Emmett Scott, in which he gives his reasons for declining to serve in an advisory capacity in the segregated section of the Republican National Committee. The Hon. Robert, accuses the Hon. Doctor and his political associates of that section of being so derelict in their duties as citizens that they have failed to leave the District of Columbia long enough to register and are therefore without a vote. Aside from this "sin of omission" Church says that the members of the J. C. section are without one iota of political wisdom, and says, "that he got off

1880, p. 47. In 1885, a Chinese pupil was excluded from a school in San Francisco. The Court held that such action was illegal. Tape v. Hurley (1885) 68 Cal. 473. However, a later amendment to the statute provided for the establishment of separate schools for Chinese and Mongolians as needed. Cal. Stats, 1885, p. 100; Wysinger v. Crookshank, supra. That amendment is law today. But it is not generally enforced, the only instance of its enforcement being an elementary school of six grades in San Francisco, more advanced pupils attending the regular-high schools.
Directed deduction may allow the conclusion reached by the Supreme Court of Mississippi. Yet, it might reasonably be concluded that the many basic problems surrounding the question of separate schools have not been solved, and that the ultimate expediency of a system of completely separate schools is, to say the least, questionable.
Note: The reader must bear in mind that the California Law Review is a non-propagandistic scientific journal.

HEALTH LAW
There are laws governing the human body, which if violated inflict a penalty without judge or jury. Those laws you cannot treat as you do the civil code. Under the civil code, most people think it is not wrong to violate the law unless you get caught. To put it another way, they do not consider violation a disgrace but getting caught.
Friends, you can't escape with nature's laws so easily. Observation of people sometimes has an aspect of humor though we know the consequences of acts we consider humorous are the reverse. We listen to a minister deliver a sermon on the law of God, giving us the penalty for violation; also in glowing terms the rewards of obeying these laws. This same minister will sit at lunch on following services and consume so much food you wonder how any one stomach contains it. Within an hour of two we hear some good sister say: "I think we had all better lie down a while. See our dear minister is tired and drowsy to the extent and forthe he put forth in his splendid sermon this morning." Don't be shocked good Christian people, if we speak the truth, your dear minister is not tired nor sleepy from work in the pulpit; he is intoxicated from the enormous quantity of food you have fed him.
We listn to a great temperance lecturer for hours and wonder how he has managed to store so many beautiful and true thoughts in one head, then we sit through a dinner of many courses any of the courses containing enough food for one meal) and wonder if our lecturer's digestive or gans are rubber or cast iron. Neither we nor the lecturer are any more temperate than the drunkard who falls in the gutter. We are not condaining, but are merely pointing to the fact that law has been violated in both instances. Friens, do not so harshly violate nature's laws, be temperate and moderate in your eating and avoid suffering, expensive treatment and a premature death.

(By: A N P)
Clarksdale, Miss., Sept. 19—B V. Hill and Henry Hill, farmers living seven miles east of Tunica, Miss., were brought to Clarksdale, Saturday following their arrest by C. E. Rivers, deputy United States Marshal, on affidavits alleging that the Hill brothers were holding Mrs. Zilla Gaff and Eve small children in a state of peonage. The men made no statement as to their guilt or innocence. They made bond for $2,000 in each case before Mrs. Cella Cook Davis, United States Commissioner at Clarksdale, and their preliminary hearings were set for Monday, September 17. The Hill brothers own approximately one hundred acres of land in Tunica County. Officers said they were forcing the woman, who is white, to farm the land. The charge of peonage carries a maximum sentence of $5,000 fine, five years in federal jail, or both. The preliminary bond of $2,000 is the lowest for peonage offense ever set by the commissioner at Clarksdale.

just such pleasing effects, through
illtiming their applause. You can’t
cut in on a person’s lines without con-
fusing them, dear public. No more
than you can a person in ordinary

to cut in on @ conversation than {t is
on a person memorizing certain deft

definite time, in order that the effect
might be produced. if the house is
in an uproar of applause, the actor
has difficulty In making himself heerd

Much of this fault, can, no doubt, be
blamed on the movies, | There is no
necessity to wait unil a scenc 1s com-

may, the other portion of your fellow

RAKESTRAW'S
RAILROAD
CLATTER
By
Joe Rakestraw
S. P. 'LARK' HELD UP
Twenty-five passengers aboard the Southern Pacific Lark bound for San Francisco from Los Angeles, a lone bandit Thursday night took about $500 from the occupants of the club car. The lone bandit entered the car with two drawn revolvers announcing he wanted all wallets and cash, no jewelry, commanding all occupants to line up, forcing one of the occupants to pass a bag carried for that purpose. Porter in charge, Jack Clalbourne, was ordered to line up with the passengers but was passed up when the bag was passed. On entering Glendale the bandit jumped from the train and disappeared in the darkness. No clew has been found as we go to press although Southern Pacific officials have offered a cash reward of $2500.00 for any information leading to the arrest of the bandit.

RANDOLPH GOES TO WASHING
TON TO MEET A. F. OF L
OFFICIALS
According to reports from the National Headquarters, A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer, will go to Washington the week of the 15th to confer with the high officials of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters for recognition, a living wage and decent working rules.
He will also confer with W. Jett Lauk, consulting railroad economist, on the drafting of an amendment to the Railway Labor Act looking toward making provisions more favorable to the cause of organizations such as the Porters' Union.
A WORTHY OBJECTIVE
The women of our group have long been the principal supporters of churches. They have given much time to clubs, lodges, sororities, etc. Some of their activities have been productive of good; but a great many have been devoid of a fundamental purpose.
The Women's Economic Council has been organized for the definite goal of directly aiding the Negro men in their struggle to open up the avenue to a new day of economic independence for black people. The work they are doing, the efforts they are making, the influence they are spreading are helping in this struggle beyond the power of words to picture. It might be discreetly confessed that, in many instances at least, they are doing more than the men themselves.
All women who are disposed toward club work would do well to join their energies with the Women's Economic Council; for it is surely one aggregation with a WORTHY OBJECTIVE.
BROTHERHOOD APPROVE
STRIKE, PROCEEDINGS
The members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and of the Order Railway Conductors have voted by large majorities to give full authority to the officers in the matter of the wage controversy with railroads in western territory, including power to call a strike. The count of ballots was completed in Chicago on September and the General officers of the brothershops on the plan of settlement which the Presidents of the brothershops had agreed upon with Chairman J. W. Higgins at Washington on August 28th. The legislative committee of the Illinois Manufacturers Association has sent a letter to the United States Board of Mediation protesting the use of the railway labor act as a means of settling wage disputes, claiming that under its provisions the public interest is not adequately protected.
PORTERS UNION KILLS YELLOW DOG CONTRACT ON PACIFIC COAST
According to Dad Moore, Organizer of San Francisco Division, and George S. Grant, Organizer of Los Angeles Division, the "yellow dog" contract movement which was projected under the guise of the Good Will Committee, has completely collapsed. it is alleged by the above-mentioned organizers that the Pullman Company had planned to fasten the "yellow dog" contract upon the porters in every district in the country after they were able to see that it had been a success on the Pacific Coast, but owing to the militant spirit of the Brotherhood men in the far West, the Pullman officials found themselves helpless in trying to force the said contract upon them. Reports are broadcasted by the National Headquarters in New York that there is no "Yellow Dog" contract movement in any of the districts at the present time, although it is expected that an effort will be made to stage another Company Union Wage Conference among the porters in the near future.
Bennie Smith, Regional Zone Supervisor and Field Organizer of the Pittsburgh-Western Zone who was persecuted in Jacksonville, Fla., by the city police and forced to leave eventually as a result of the unfavorable attitude of one of the city magistrates toward his work because of the propaganda which the Pullman Company had circulated there against him, reports that the southern men who had been lured to the East and West by flowery promises that they could make a fortune in tips on Pullman cars are now grumbling about their impoverished condition and are seeking to get enough money to return South.
It has been expected, according to M. P. Webster, Division Organizer of the Western Zone, and A. L. Totten, Regional Zone Supervisor of the Midwestern Zone, through secret sources they have come into the possession of information that the Company hopes to slip the "yellow dog" contract over
If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
on the porters, through a wage conference which is supposed to grant a wage increase to the men. This said contract is alleged to be calculated to bind porters to the wage given for a number of years and to prevent them from being a part of any bona fide organization of their own such as the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.
HERE AND THERE
The Red Arrow, a Pennsylvania passenger train en route to Detroit from New York injured scores of passengers on the 13th in a derailment. Plans for the 1929 convention of the Shrine in Los Angeles next June are under way, 105,000 visiting Shriners are expected. Porters and Walters from all parts of the country will be there.
According to railroad gossip, the Western Pacific has announced its intention to build south from San Francisco into the San Joaquin Valley, territory now served by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe. The Southern Pacific may have to prevent competition by absorbing this competitor.
Notice terminating their employment after December 31st, married women employed by the Long Island Railroad as Station Agents, typists, clerks, and bookkeepers were much surprised to learn that their places would be supplied by single women and unemployed men.
53,000 employees of the Pennsylvania own automobiles.
DINING CAR LOCAL NOTES
Circular letters outlining the forming of a Credit Union have been sent to each car for the endorsement of each employee; as soon as these endorsements are returned to the financial secretary a special meeting will be held for the perfection of same.
