GETS CO. HOSPITAL POST First Colored Girl To Get L. A. County Stenographic Appointment On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B. Some years ago while visiting a County Fair at Stockton, California, a number of men on horses entered the gate that lead to the fair grounds seated on, in most cases, beautiful sleek horses; and among them was one beautiful prancing black horse, which seemed so anxious to charge that it was necessary for his owner 1879 VOLUME 42 GET First C S Mrs. Isabelle Clifton, installed as stenographer at the County Hospital, is first of her race to enjoy this distinction. When first interviewed by an subordinate employee of the County Hospital, she was told that because of her race she was ineligible, though she had passed the civil service examination with a high average. Dr. Nelson, for whom she worked previously for a year as secretary and stenographer—took up the fight. He registered a violent protest with the County Supervisors. • Civil Service Commission and authorities at General Hospital. The Supervisors were especially on spoken against any discrimination. The result is that Mrs. Clifton was promptly given the position where she is now at work. Carrie Albritton-Daniels To Be Heard Perhaps you know the singing family of Albrittons. They all sing, but among them are the lesser and greater lights. Carrie Albritton-Daniels, who has for the past ten years made her home in Boston, the center of music, art and culture, having studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, America's greatest institution of art at which Roland Hayes received his musical training is one of the greater light. She will be heard Thursday evening, October 18th at Phillips Temple C. M. E. Church, 42nd and Wadsworth. To miss hearing her will be to miss a treat.

NEARLY KILLS WIFE WITH HAMMER (By Tba Associated Negro Press) Clarksdale, Miss., Oct. 4.—Will Woodward has been arrested on a charge of beating his wife nearly to death with a hammer. Woodward claims that his wife attacked him with a brick before he struck her. The woman is in a critical condition. OUR WELCOME FOR WHITAKER Doctor Leon Leroy Whitaker The "California Eagle" takes supreme pleasure and sincere delight in introducing Dr. Leon Leroy Whitaker of the California Bar, Bachelor of Arts, Doctor of Jurisprudence, Attorney and Counsellor at Law, to the people of Los Angeles. We, of the "Eagle," have long had an especial interest in this young man. We saw him grow impatient with his high school studies and enlist in the United States Navy during the World War when he was only fourteen years of age. We saw him return and plunge into his high school studies, graduating, as we remember, from Los Angeles High School with high honors. Doctor Whitaker then entered the Southern Branch of the University of California. While there, as our tiles show, he was president of the Cosmopolitan Club, President of Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Toastmaster for the Forum Debating Society, four time scholarship man, and welterweight and middle-weight boxing champion of the University for two years. This remarkable fellow was not content with college activities alone. He was active in church work, being president of the oung People's Lycée of the Independent Church for two years. Other activities of public interest seemed to attract him; for his entire undergraduate record displays an intense interest in public affairs. Doctor Whitaker entered the school of Jurisprudence of the University of California in Berkeley, California in 1925. He was determined to make a first-class lawyer of himself. As a law student, he worked very hard, becoming the first colored member of the Editorial Staff of the California Law Review, and also the first colored member of the Board of Governors of the Boalt Hall Law Association. Finally, he was elected to the coveted Degree of Juris Doctor in May of this year. We know that each of the three awards mentioned was the reward of unusual merit. Studying independently, our young TWO KILLED IN CAPITAL BRAWLS Washington, Oce. 4. At the same time that a woman shot and killed a man in one part of the city, a man shot and killed a woman in another part. Lawrence Gray forty-three years old, of 1745 Kalorama Road, formerly employed in the Government Printing Office, surrendered to the police, stating that he had shot and killed Marguerite Brown. Sadye Hatton, thirty years old, 217 Virginia Avenue Southwest, was placed under arrest after she had shot and fatally wounded Joseph Miles. Miles died shortly after being admitted to the hospital. Both as saults happened at 8:30 o'clock. Gray who shot the ewoman five times said that the argument started over what they were going to have for supper and ended when she struck him with an ash tray. Sadye Hatton said that she shot Miles after he had beaten her. Doctor equipped himself for the California State Bar Examination of August, 1928. The "Daily Journal" of Wednesday, September 26, disclosed that he was the only one of the eight colored candidates who were examined in Southern California to pass successfully. While we have no access to the files of the Bar Examiners, we believe that, if anyone did, Leon Whitaker passed with an average of 100 per cent. Doctor Whitaker has been his own principal support during his entire University career; but he tells us that he managed to devote his entire last three law school years to his professional studies. Old timers will remember Jim and Edith Roberson of the West Temple District and of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. They are Whitaker's grandparents on his mother's side. His paternal grandparents are mainly in Georgia. Doctor Whitaker is a member of the Independent Church of Christ, of the Masonic Order, the Elk's Lodge, the American Legion, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the Black American League, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Los Angeles Forum, and (the Register tells of the Republican Party. At present, he is in the thick of the anti-segregation fight. Last, but not least, he is a "collyumist" of this paper. We welcome Doctor Whitaker (we delight to call Leon by the title he has so ably earned), well equipped, enthousiastic, fearless, honest, of sound judgment, and imbued with a deep sense of social and racial service, into the ranks of our corps of legal champions. We introduce Doctor Leon Whitaker who, though born in Georgia, is a California product, to the people of Los Angeles, as an Attorney and Counsellor at Law. —THE EDTORS Enthusiastic Meeting; Universal Co-operation Need is Shown The Thursday night series of meetings of the Pyramid Cooperative Association held at Tabernacle Baptist Church continue. Enthusiasm is growing. These meetings are not only interesting, but carry an economic message of hope to the race. The Pyramid's plan is offering the public for economic welfare and advancement is logical, rational and constructive. Logical because it is convincing; rational because it appeals to the sense of reasoning; constructive because its economic appeal is fundamentally sound and historically correct. Last Thursday night, Mentis Carriere made a most interesting report on the 29th Annual Session of the National Negro Business League, held in New York City. He said there were present delegates from the East North, South and West. All of them held the same story to tell concerning the economic plight of Negroes the country over. Every delegate recognized the fact that the race was not self-supporting; that the people are not taking advantage of their economic opportunities. Mr. Carriere quoted Dr. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee institute as saying that since the race cannot rise higher than its commercial achievement, something should prick the conscience of the race to action as a whole to lift it self from the low depths of degredation that it now occupies. Dr. Moton said there should be universal co-operation among Negroes. According to Mr. Carrere there was much talk of co-operation at the Business League Convention, but no method of co-operation was advanced whereby the masses could be benefitted. The officers and members of the Pyramid Co-operative Association of Los Angeles not only know that the economic condition of the race is appalling, but they also know that their present condition cannot be changed except by the race having a scientific control of the buying power of the Negro masses. At their last meeting held at Tabernacle Baptist Church, how the masses can capture their own trade and keep their money circulating within the race for a greater length of time than it does at present, was so plainly shown that several visitors at once joined, one paying her membership in full. On Thursday, October 12th, Mr. Carrere will continue his report on the Consumers' Co-operatives in the East, and what they are doing for their own economic welfare. The public is invited to meet with the Pyramid at Tabernacle Baptist Church, October 12th to listen to and become acquainted with, a plan for their own economic welfare and advenement. JAILED FOR STABBING HUSBAND Gulfport, Miss., Oct. 4.—Lula Bell Dedeaux has been bound over in one thousand dollars bond on a charge of fatally stabbing her husband, Jim Dedeaux, in a cutting affray at Pass Christian a few weks ago in which she also received a number of knife wounds. Why the New Negro Who Knows Himself And His Future Will Vote for the Second Emancipator of the Race, the Man of Destiny, Governor Alfred E. Smith BY: LOUIS MICHEL Several officials of the Smith-For-Presid Ethiopian men and women of this city and t ed me to answer to the millions times asked should Negroes vote for the great, four time of New York State, His Excellency, Path Smith, to become our President of the Unite I have just three answers to this timely FIRST: We have a New Negro. SECOND: We sight a new, birth-pain THIRD: We view the New Negro's Se Several officials of the Smith-For-President League of the Ethiopian men and women of this city and the nation have asked me to answer to the millions times asked question: "Why should Negroes vote for the great, four times elected Governor of New York State, His Excellency, Pathfinder Alfred E. Smith, to become our President of the United States?" I have just three answers to this timely question: FIRST: We have a New Negro. 1. THE NEW NEGRO Negroes like 1. THE NEW NEGRO. Negroes, like their white brothers and sisters, cannot be stationary dummies, reactionary nonentities, unthinking, and unchanging camp-followers. Both the disloyal sullen and neglectful political white masters as well as the subservient and cringing Black underlings of their white masters made the terrible mistake of their political rendezvous, when they thought—these White bosses and these Black understappers—that the 13 millions of Negro men, women and children in America, were the sole and exclusive property of the once liberty-proclaiming, but not now liberty-defending Republican party. A Black or a Brown face was usually regarded as bearing the natural Republican imprint of politics. All an oldline wheel horse of the old Republican party had to acclaim was his hoary time-worn refrain: "The Republican party freed you from slavery," and the poor, non-answering Negro had to hobble away, a steady political serf of his usual political boss, and vote the same old Republican ticket with almost deathlike regularity. But the old, ex-chattel-slavery Negro linking to the following first and second-generation-segregation and ex-communication-slavery-Negro is now displaced by the new liberty-seeking Negro, who has studied a great deal and is doing his own concrete, independent thinking. This new Negro has progressive and rebellious views and he knows that his freedom from chattel slavery could not have been achieved not the greedy North with its paid labor been in a losing competition with the equally greedy South with its none-paid slave-labor. As an economic safety-measure for her Northern White birth-givers and budding capitalists, the new-born Republican party had to step in and fight the dangerous Southern White rivals, not for the Negroes, nor yet for all humanity's sake, but for the sake of the declining purse of money for the Northern man.

Aged Man Tells Police Of Being Tortured By White Man (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., Oct. 4.—An old man, bent and caloused from years of toll on a Louisiana plantation came into police headquarters early Monday night followed by a young Frenchman, and told a story of torture and extortion and threats which implicated half a dozen white men near Jennings. The man who said he was the Reverend Will Parker, 72, exhibited burns on his left arm, which he said were inflicted by an electric torch by the palier at Welch, La., in forcing him to sign over all his property to a man who runs the commissary where he bought his supplies. Edward Ewing, the young Frenchman although he speaks English very haltingly, corroborated the old man's story, and asserted that he, Ewing, was hired to kill him. Ewing, however, was Parker's friend, and instead of carrying out the orders, fled with Parker to New Orleans. Parker's tribulations, as far as police could determine came about when the aged preacher sold a bale of cotton and failed to turn over the proceeds to the commissary keeper. His arrest and subsequent flight fol- --- Some years ago while visiting a County Fair at Stockton, California, a number of men on horses entered the gate that lead to the fair grounds seated on, in most cases, beautiful, sleek horses; and among them was one beautiful prancing black horse, which seemed so anxious to charge that it was necessary for his owner to hold him fast until the time came to let go- and when that time arrived the dashine steel seemed to take no thought of where or how he was going or where he should end, but simply dashed forth. A few days ago this writer was placed in a position where it was possible to see at close range a goodly number of young girls enjoying what they considered perfect freedom. And some of them like the race horse, simply charged without any thought as to where they were going or where they should end. Most of these girls were of the tender, susceptible age, known as the adolescent period, and the fact that they were unaccompanied, hence unprotected, raised this question in my mind—Where are the parents? Any young girl under eighteen years of age should not be permitted to visit public dance halls and other public places of amusement unaccompanied by parents or guardians. ```markdown ``` We are in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Tracy Greee who is travelling in Europe, and she reports a wonderful trip. "I have visited Westminster Abby, the House of Parliament, Hyde Park, and oh! so many other places of interest that filled me with a newer and brighter vision. Before returning to my home in California I shall visit many places of interest in my own country about which I shall tell you when I return." --- --- --- He came up from poverty. He knows the definition of hunger, having from early childhood had to earn his own bread and the bread of others including his own mother who depended upon him. I would trust the guiding of the Ship of State two to one to Al Smith in preference of Herbert Hoover. Hoover was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, while Al Smith grappled in the dust for the crumbs that fell from Hoover's table of luxury. Hoover was born to his full height but "Al" had to make his way up from obscurity, but measure them now if you please; to my mind Al Smith stands head and shoulders above Herbert Hoover. Hoover rocked in the cradle of luxury, made his way to political fam at the expense of struggling humanity hence he has no keen sympathy for those who struggle, but Al Smith cannot forget the depth from which he came. As he walks the streets of the great city in which he saw the light; and sees the street urbant hustling as he once hustled, his heart yearns for him and out of this yearning heart of the great Governor of New York State, who now aspires for the President's seat in order that he may more effectively serve his people, come this creed; "I believe in the common brotherhood of man under the common fatherhood of God." lowed. According to Parker, the Proprietor of the commissary caused his arrest after Parker had refused to sell him first cotton and instead had sold it for a better price to another man. Parker was kept in jail for two days, he said, without food. Last Thursday he said, the pailer heated a piece of iron pipe by means of electricity at the power house directly behind the jail, and forced him to sign over his live stock and farm implements, as well as seven or eight hales of cotton. Thursday Sept. 27, 1928, the Pride of Santa Monica S. M. T.'s gave a musical entertainment at t he Masonic Hall, at 18th and Broadway. Mrs. Elia Hunt Jackson and Mrs. William Landrum had charge of the program direction, Mr. J. A. Reese was master of ceremonies. Mr. Arthur Nord, head of the Music Department for the Santa Monica public schools, gave a short talk on Music, and several well rendered violin selections. Mrs. Mattie Peters responded to his talk. The rest of the program was furnished by the talent of the Bay District. Miss Frances Humphrey and Mother are stopping in this city, from New York. Their stay will be indefinite. They are now the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. MacCarrol, of Ocean Park Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Oliver and Junior of Hollywood and Mrs. Alice Garner of Los Angeles, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. King, Sunday. The people of the Bay District seem to be strong for Gov. Alfred Smith for the Presidency—so is your old man! Mrs. John Vernon and little daughters, Ruth and Dorothy, returned to Los Angeles after spending several weeks at the beach. Atorney Leroy P. Johnson and wife, also an attorney, departed last Sunday for their home in 'Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Louvenia Johnson, Mr. Johnson's mother, who is very ill, and has been for some time returned with them. For his mother's comfort Mr. Johnson obtained a drawing room and the aid of a trained nurse, to accompany them on the trip. YOUR FRIEND The fellow that stands by Through thick and thin No matter what happens Is surely your friend. But beware of the fellow Who boasts with vim Of the corking good friend That you have in him. For his friendship is fragile And is thinly put on Like a coat of veneer That wears off and is gone. The true friend indeed Is solid clear through He is straight and trusworthy He is square with you. He'd rather give up That which is to him Of far less value Than the hand of his friend. For friendship's a thing That's not bought or sold Though you lose all you have He never grows cold. But that which he giveth You give also to him, The best that you have For he is your friend. Sacramento News Sacramento elite were agog on last Saturday evening, when Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dunlap presented their daughter, the pretty and attractive Miss Marion, to society with a formal dancing party on her 18th birthday. The setting for this most elaborate affair was the Tuesday Club House. The spacious rooms were elaborately decorated with Ferns, paling and baskets of Dahlias in many pleasing colors. Miss Dunlap was charming in a gown of white Point d'Esprit. The bodice was tight fitting and the skirt full with an uneven hemline trimmed with bands of white georgette carrying a bouquet of Cecil Brunner roses. She was assisted by Miss Elsie Carrington of Oakland and Miss Andry Dunlap, Margaret Butler, who were beautifully gowned in boutiful dresses in pastel shades, also carrying Colonial bouquets. The guests were welcomed by Mendames Guy Smith and Geo. Dunlap, aunts of the debutante. After greetings by the Misses Dorothy Van Slack and Regina Holland they were introduced to Mrs. Wm. Taylor also an aunt, who ushered the guests into the reception room and presented them to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dunlap, the parents, who happily received' the congratulations. Mrs. Dunlap was gorgeously gowned in coral transparent velvet and rhinestones. At ten of clock the three hundred guests were ushered into the spacious ball room where they danced to the entertaining strains of orchestra music until a late hour. Such an array of gorgeous creations in gowns as were worn by the ladies present was marvelous to behold. Miss Dunlap was the recipient of a very large collection of costly gifts. Out-of-town guests were in attendance from Los Angeles, Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, Chico, Marysville, Stockton and Modesto, Calif. Miss Hallie Asbury Smith spent the week-end at Parkridge. There are many inquiries about meals at the club. Delicious home-cooked meals are served in the beautiful Spanish dining room or in the Dutch grill until 10 p.m. any day at prices agreeable to all. A sample menu: Fried chicken baked Virginia ham or roast beef, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, string beans, peas, Waldorf salad, pie, ficed tea or coffee. Recent visitors—Mrs. C. Lawson, If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened ... (By W. Matt Solomon) ... Last Sunday, as home-coming day at Friendship, was the occasion for a large attendance both morning and evening. The pastor preached most wonderful sermons at both services, also brought greetings from the recently attended National Baptist Convention at Louisville. At the morning service remarks in behalf of the various organizations were made by the respective heads. The pastor is much elated over the enthusiasm as demonstrated Sunday and is looking forward to a most successful fiscal year which has just begun. Mr. Joe Bunch, one of the older residents of Pasadena, and a Mason of long standing, having been ill for some time, is able to be around again. Rev. J. H. Lewis, of Atlanta, Ga., one of the outstanding characters of the A. M. E. connection, has been appointed to succeed Rev. J. M. Brown, of late sent to Denver to assume charge. Much comment has been made concerning his successor and many of the membership had so expressed themselves as favorable to Dr. Lewis and it is with much gratification that the selection was made. Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Claybourne, residents of Pasadena 16 years past, have again moved to the city from Portland, Oregon, where Mr. Claybourne held a responsible position with a large wholesale hardware firm. He is now located at 102 Bellview Drive. Mrs. Ruth Wright, of Morton and Malden Lane, was the unfortunate victim of an accident last week, having cut her foot on a broken bottle which makes walking impossible for her at this writing.

Pitsch, created quite a furor with his automatic and sufficient ammunition when he began to fire discriminately from a well fortified position in a room where he was living at 28 Waverly Drive. Taking potshots at all passers from his hiding place, was the occasion of police investigation who invaded the place as near as they dared and made a concerted attack with tear bombs, but of no avail but finally brought down their victim with a big slug in the hip. He was taken to the General Hospital thence to the psychopathic ward for observation. No one was hit because of his poor marksmanship. Mrs. Eva Overr Solomon was the speaker at the Metropolitan Baptist church Sunday morning to which a large crowd attended, the occasion being Missionary Day. In the evening she spoke to a very enthusiastic congregation at Calvary Baptist church, Santa Monica. Rev. J. E. Pius and W. A. Jones are the respective pastors. Special J. J.

Something Doing Every Week End at Parkridge Page---Ten PO LINCOLN'S MANTLE PASSES (Continued from Page Nine) segregation, lynching, non-employment and outcast-isolation. Negroes by the millions—oh glorious sign of hope, oh brilliant and timely burst for real freedom!—are leaving the old party that fooled them and never protected them after Lincoln died, and are going over with the trump or liberty-soldiers and political freedom-scinting pioneers to trust themselves and the sincerity of the Democratic party, but to the goodness, the sincerity, the fine honor, the kind sympathy, the noble genius and the adjusting statesmanship for the right and the truth of Alfred E. Smith, who is bound to bring to the Negro his great desired goal for an equal opportunity that he never could achieve by the agency of the over-fettish grown monopoly party of so-called Republicanism. Strange, but true, in Alfred E. Smith, the trusting Negro, and well he can trust him, sees his second Messiah, his latest and greatest emancipator! 2. THE NEW BIRTH-PAINED AMER- 2. THE NEW AMERICA, ICA. A new America, still painted with a laborious birth, is coming. This newer, better America stretches forth; it must stretch out and grow, it can never be contracted or hemmed in any longer. The New Negro of America has no hatred against any people on this earth, nations and races that have done him no harm, but he wants order and justice in his native America and he also wants the true freedom and fair treatment for his brethren in other climes. He knows that he can go just about three roads to try to secure his second emancipation and his full safety in a new America; he can remain, like a persistent tool and serf, with the Republican party; he can, like an enterprising pioneer try out his fate with the Democratic party or he can, like the writer of these lines has done for many years in the past, cast his future fortunes with the Socialist party. In this new America, with these three fundamental parties, the new Negro has his real, great chance and at this important juncture, the leading chance of his rocky and weary journey since 1865. The new America, with its great new discoveries, its moving pictures, its aircraft, its automobiles, its radios, its thousands of new electrical and artistic inventions and devices, can no If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened longer push its new, young and aspiring Negro back; it must enable him and her to participate fittingly and justly in all the grand overtures of its new creations, else America would only build a material cardhouse outwardly without an ideal peace home inside. As conclusively shown in the foreground of this analysis it would be useless and slavish to remain with and trust the very selfish Republican party any longer; it would, perhaps, have been a very wise and decisive step for, the Negro to complete and strengthen himself by joining the very sincerely inviting and coaxing Socialist party of America and support Norman Thomas, this party's candidate for the Presidency of the United States, but the great and marvelous episode in new America's life has happened and a man has been nominated by the Democratic party who is bound by the Ideas of History and the mascots of destiny and the heralds of the Great God himself to wear the mantle of Abraham Lincoln and react a hero's role in the coming second emancipation of the modern Negro. 3. THE NEW NEGRO'S SECOND 3. THE NEW NEGRO'S SECOND EMANCIPATION. The new Negro has the decisive balance of power in this nation and however he goes, so goes the country. The new Negro has the grand chance and the splendid opportunity, the noble power of his very life's aim to make or unmake the next President of America. The titanic man of this hour is the new Negro and the other titanic man of this hour is the peerless, 4 times Governor of New York, Alfred E. Smith. So important is the fate of the new Negro to this writer, so important is the fate of this new crusader for a regenerated and redeemed America, that I have no hesitancy in declaring that if any other man would have been selected by the Democratic party than the commoner-redeemer, the sidewalk-of-New-York-regenerator, his Excellency Governor Alfred E. Smith, never would I have supported the nominee of the Democratic hosts, that I supported only once in my life-time when I voted for Grover Cleveland in 1892. But a different Negro in a different redeemed America requires an entirely different chieftain from any chieftains that we have ever had, a chieftain who in mental size, in heroic fearlessness, in special Celtic-American hereditary and in creative genius must be an equal nation builder to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, in fact, he must really be in certain modern respects, even more masterful than these two greatest immortal Presidents have been. To the young, new Negro and to the old, martyrred Negro our coming President must not merely be just a good-hearted quiet friend of humanity; he must be a fighting and daring friend of bleeding and suffering humanity, willing, if necessary, to give up his noble life in a just and sacred cause and this new champion of every good citizen's rights, Negro or Caucasian, is none other and the only one since the last 65 years than the great Governor of New York, the invincible fighting hero, Alfred E. Smith. Much more sincerely heartfelt than even gloriously spectaculair in New York State was his gallant, persistent, deathless battle against the Negro's greatest snake-enemy, the Ku Klux Klan. He fought these deadly reptile monsters in our American life like no other public man ever has fought a blighting and deadly scourge in any land and all the Negroes of America should gleefully rejoice over this modern St. George, who is the first man in America that matched his exclusion genius against the murderous bands of the nightriders and stamped out that terrible nuisance of fiery crosses, masked devils' faces, white shadow-night-shirts and ghostly bed-sheets. If there is a Negro in America that can ever forget Governor or Alfred E. Smith's restless and successful attacks and victories against this obnoxious and despicable Ku Klux Klan that Negro is either a corpse in the grave, a lunatic in the lunatic asylum, a fool without brains, a gold-self to the Republican party or a scoundrel to the A benedict Arnold or an Aaron Burr to his brothers and sisters. If this great commoner, the kind and wonderful statesman, who rose from the sidewalks of New York, as a newsboy and a fish-cleaner and salesman to the position of Governor and the second emancipator of the persecuted and downtrodden Negro races had done nothing else in his colorful and eventful life than to fight and practically annihilate the Ku Klux Klan of New York State, and from there caused thir rapid decline all over the United States, he would be forever and always entitled to the L. P. GRANT, General Manager, 2506 Central Avenue warm love, the deepest consideration and the unceasing gratitude of the entire Negro race. It is a very hard thing to even figure out how any proud and, reasoning Black man and woman could ever cast their ballots against a true champion for crushed humanity, a fine and splendid character like Governor Alfred E. Smith, who fought the Ku Klux Klan to a complete standstill and feeble surrender in New York, and then to the Klan's successful near-collapse in America! One more step we must take and young and old Negroes must don their best armor and strongly ally in the victorious election of brave and battling Alfred E. Smith, as our President of the land and then the first biggest blow, a deathblow to the Ku Klux Klan has been struck! And what else, my dear black brethren and sisters will the election of the great Governor as our President bring and mean to you? The original and studious Alfred E. Smith, a real humanitarian, is born for a purpose as vital as the birth, life and deeds of Abraham Lincoln, for it will be this greatest statesman of this century who will stop lynching of Negroes and White folks in America by lawful, military and educational safeguards and a swift and adequate trial and punishment with death for all the lynching fiends in America. Negroes can look upon this grand and exceptional humane character as their God-sent saviour, for he will be the only giant born of woman, heaven and earth-destined to save at last America's reputation and exterminate for all the time the sway of mob-killings and the buzzing of the lynching bee. When Smith is our President neither Negroes nor White men can be lynched successfully, for every lyncher will be surely found, tried and promptly sent to the gullows or into the electric chair. Nor will President Smith stand for a well-fed White man and a starved-out Negro, for as our President, he will know no color, no race, no creed nor place of birth, so every man and woman is square, useful and just as a good citizen or a loyal resident in this country, and he will be, therefore, a President for all of our citizens, White. Black, without fear, without favor, without partiality whatsoever! What else can President-to-be Smith do? He can and will see that the black man's and the black lady's chances for work shall be promoted in our land and the shops, mills, factories, mines and big places of toll opened for all mankind, so that the poor dark man may no longer walk the streets as a free, unfree citizen, with hunger in his stomach, with worry on his mind and with segregation as his inheritance from the Republican party. Black men and Black women, voters of America! We can safely trust President-to-be Alfred E. Smith to treat you as the same human children as he will treat the white children of this country, for he knows that the white race cannot succeed, unless the black race succeeds at the same time and President Alfred E. Smith will never stand for an America with the White man well cared for and the Black man an outcast and hungry, if all other conditions are equal. I believe in Governor Alfred E. Smith, because in New York State as its Governor and in 3 or 4 other offices he death with the Negroes on the same equitable basis as he dealt with the Caucasians. He secured for Negroes many well paying jobs, saw to the same equal treatment for dark children as he did for White children, distributed foodstuffs and milk on even terms to both Black and White sufferers and always sounded the fine tacot of a real cosmopolitan redeemer and saviour of the entire human race. He never turned down a delegation of lodge, church, charity, toll or any mission at all of dark men and dark women. If Negroes would defat our candidate, Governor Alfred E. Smith, by following an empty dream of pre-election promises and post-election deceptions by their friendly enemies of the past, the Republicans, they would be traitors to their own cause and the Ethiopian race and all the persecuted mem and women of the suffering Traces and nationalities in this world! A Negro who votes against Smith digs his own grave and retards the sound progress of his race and all humanity Clear and true will ring out President-to-be Alfred E. Smith's voice in behalf of his Black friend and brother when sinister prejudice persecutors would aim to harm poor, defenseless Negroes, for President-to-be Smith's character is too high, his heart too warm, his genius as a statesman too fertile and true, to see his black fellow-citizen in jeopardy of his life, his toil, his home and his American sovereignty! The glorious Smith will speak out and work out for right, justice and retrenchment when all the other Presidents after Lincoln, both Republican and Democratic kept silent and did nothing for the suffering, heart broken, misused Negro Smith was born to be our country's great redeemer and regenerator, in fact, history will call him the great recreator of the Negro and the White man of America. The three most notable President's our future generations will reverence will be Washington, the father and creator of America; Lincoln, the emancipator and savior; and Smith, the redeemer and regenerator of America; and in the Negro's battle for freedom the last one shall als obe know is the second emancipator of the Negro and the new reorganizer of Columbia! The marvels of Governor Smith' toil in his native State of New York include widows' and children' protec HOOVER URGES H Says All Men Should be Regardless of HOOVER URGES EQUALITY FOR ALL Says All Men Should Have Equal Opportunity Regardless of Faith or Color PETER H. 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, Died at Palo Alto, California, said: "The founders equalize proounded the revolution, determining that all men are created equal and all should have equality before the law." He further stated: "Equality of opportunity 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. By its maintenance shall we hold open the Door of Opportunity to every boy and girl. It tolerates no privileged classes or castes or groups who would hold opportunity as their prerogative. 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." --- Friday, October 5, 1928 tive laws, public health and education measure of deepest importance, water and power measures to safeguard the people's rights against greedy monopolistic grab concerns and bundles of other useful and record-making things that stamp him as one of the greatest active legislators and ablest statesmen of all times. By blood, birth and toil a man for all the people, a gallant, invulnerable gladiator who will never press the Negro back; who will be the first Democrat in the world that will have as many Negro followers, whenever he dies, to his hero-grave, as he will have White followers, but who whilst he lives—let us hope, at least for 25 years yet—will map out and complete the unfinished work of John Brown and Abraham Lincoln, so that our beloved America will become as secure, as sound, and as safe a land for the Negro to live in as it shall be for the Caucasian, so that humane America, internally and at home, is as great, if not greater, than the big masterful America to the reflective, wondering, outside world!

Several people from South Los Angeles motored to San Diego, Sunday to attend the conference. During the past week sewer connections have been made to several of the homes on South Compton Ave. Mrs. Bertha Blakely, 1071 So, Compton Ave and family spent a full day at several of the beach cities Sunday, they reported having enjoyed the very beautiful sceneries to be seen in and around Los Angeles and among the places of interest they visited was Soldiers' Home at Sawtelle. Mr. J. W. Hale has leased a Gas Station on E. 113th St. and Wilmington Ave., formerly operated by Mrs. Jones. Mr. Hale is one of the most responsible citizens of South Los Angeles. The Community wishes for him great success in his now undertaking. Woods Bro Garage, E. 196th St. and Compton Ave. is a very busy place tha se days. Their yard is all ways filled with cars waiting for repairs. This is an evidence of the fine workmanship done at this Garage.

We are truly glad to have her back. Mr. W. R. Knox of the Knox & Knox Realty Co., is leaving the city this week for a much needed vacation. He will be gone about ten days. From Jim Bolger Shaw Headquarters Radical changes in the awarding of contracts on all County building, expansion and welfare work, and a change in the system of raising funds for the construction of county buildings will be brought about by Councilman Frank L. Shaw when he is successful in his campaign to gana a seat on the Board of Supervisors, it was announced today by Paul G. Ritter, Shaw's campaign manager "Gross violations of the County Charter have been included in intentionally or permitted by lack or interest and ignorance by officials who have had complete control of the board of Supervisors for years". Ritter said, following a conference with Councilman Shaw and business and legal lights backing Shaw's candidacy. "We have gone into the matter thoroughly and are prepared at this time to condemn and demand the outlawing of the present system of handling bids on county business and the method approved by the Supervisors in the past in raising valuations on property in order to raise funds sufficient to cover the extrayagant and inefficient expenditure of money in the construction of needed public buildings such as the County Hospital." Councilman Shaw laid before the prominent citizens in attendance a plan supplementing his original pledge tothrow all County business open to the public and press, thereby doing away with secret star chamber sessions, which he charges breeds contempt and suspicion, and paves the way to "protected mischief in the conduct of our County government." "I propose to protect the taxpayers against unexpected tax levies in connection with the construction of county buildings by submitting to the public bond issues which cover, completely, the cost of such buildings," he explained. "In the past, it appears the public has been eased into voting for extremely low bond issues to cover the cost of public buildings for the county. Later, after the bond issue money has been spent on costly and it has developed, unwise construction the tax rate for the county has been increased, or, worse yet, the property WILLIAMS' SERVICE STATION 3:00 SERVICE STATION AUTO REPAIRS Williams' Service Station 39th St. and Central Ave. Staff of Station Mrs. and Mr. Williams on Either End Manned by a woman and a plant thoroughly equipped is the offering for the support of the public by a wide awake and enterprising business woman in person of Mrs. Williams who has purchased this location thoroughly renovated and modernized it, uu until it compares most favorably with any gas station located on the Eastside. favorably with any gas station.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams are among the progressive and forward looking citizens of our group and no doubt will receive a strong support in the new endeavor. valuations have been doubled to hide the real purpose at hand and to provide the money necessary to continue the construction program started under false pretenses." A thorough survey of the construction of the Hall of Justice by J. H Bean, incumbent opposing Council mon Shaw, was laid before the meeting. On May 1st, 1924, it was shown the taxpayers voted $2,000,000 for the construction of the Hall of Justice. When it was completed, figures supplied by Mr. Bean show, it cost more than $6,429,973. Subsequently, however, several hundred more thousands were spent in reconstructing the building to make it prisoner-proof, properly ventilated and accessible. It was also pointed out that at the same time bonds for the Hall of Justice were voted the taxpayers voted $5,000,000 for the new County Hospital. This was to cover the completed building. Already it has-cost $200,000 over that figure and Supervisor Bean says it will cost more than $11,000,000 before it is completed. Although the public generally has no idea of the methods employed by the Supervisors to raise money sufficiently to make up the difference between the bond issue figure and the total cost of buildings they are construcing, laws shown at the meeting that needed funds are included in the County budget and the tax rate or the property valuations are increased accordingly. More than $1,250,000 for the County Hospital's first unit, to be placed under construction some time in the next four months, was included in the County budget for 1928-29 and the property valuations throughout the county and city were raised by the Board of Supervisors more than $75,000,000. Dr. H. Claude Hudson Answers Rev. Carter's Affidavit In the "California Eagle" for last week, there appeared an affidavit sworn to by the Rev. Wm. R. Carter, D. D. It seemed to be an attempt to justify Dr. Carter's position in the Blythe school affair. A casual reading tends to leave the reader thinking that the affiant is cleared of all charges; but a more careful reading discloses shadows, loopholes, inconsistencies, statements contrary to fact, and matter pointing toward the Reverend's selling out. He speaks of the coming up of the question of the school situation during his visit with Professor Scott, Principal of the Public Schools of the Palo Verde Valley. However, he carefully refrains from showing how and why the question came up, or who brought it up. He points out the professor's excitement over the school situation. In my experience, some whites have become very excited ov- If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened er seing colored people in school at all. The professor feared bloodshed if "conditions" were not changed. Yet, we, the people of the state of California spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for police protection. A handful of youngsters riding on a school bus can create no more trouble than misgoverned parents and designing politicians egg them on to create. The professor "and the citizens of the Palo Verde Valley had definitely decided upon a procedure of segregation, separation of students, the reverend says. I submit that this decision is contrary to the constitution and laws of California, and to the spirit of the free West. It is contrary to the things for which our people left the South; and a Negro who aids and abets such a procedure is a traitor to his group. Instead of throwing all of his force against the decision of the professor, Dr. Carter compromised. Where did the reverend get his authority to say that we, in Los Angeles, saw to it that colored people were appointed to teach in schools where there were an appreciable number of colored students? Nevine Avenue, LaFaye te, Jefferson High, McKinley, Union Avenue, Wadsworth, etc., cast a doubt upon the assertion. Aye more, even though the honorable Doctor were telling the truth, isn't it a travesty upon our freedom, a support of a final giving over to segregation? Isn't it an acceptance of the idea of an appointment upon the basis of color, rather than a stressing of the demand for appointment upon merit? The contention of Wm. R. Carter that a teacher was desirable for inter-racial contact was childish, it, in effect, was to state that the inter-racial contact of the children made inter-racial contact between teachers necessary. I do not believe that is true. If it is, why didn't he say so in many words, instead of trying to hide behind an ambiguity. The affidavit says that there is less friction in lower than in upper grades. The faces of Union Avenue School, compared with those surrrounding LaFayette Junior High, case error into the teeth of the Doctor; for the Jim Crow methods at Union have made far more friction than is thought of at LaFayette. The sworn statement refers copiously to the "unalterable position" of one Rev. Haywood. It puts Rev. Haywood in a handful light. The Rev. Haywood, according to a better received from a prominent Valley citizen, has left town with a young woman of his congregation, deserting his poor old wife. Such a man is a poor makeweigin for anyone's affidavit. An affidavit so based is a poor explanation of Dr. Carter's connection with the matter now before us. The article mentions the Reverend's platform speeches. It is no new thing for men to urge one thing from a public platform, and the contrary behind closed doors. It seeks to justify for the Reverend upon the basis of the possible racial and interracial service of the teacher appointed. Teachers are selected for their fitness to teach, not for their ability to act as shock absorbers in interracial contacts, nor for their power to give "racial and interracial service. To compromise to the contrary is to support the hideous, thing all so called Negro leaders ought to fight to the last ditch. He says he has done "everything to prevent" separate schools. What has he done in El Centro? He exercises statewide power apparently; but that power must be directed away from Imperial Valley's Jim-Crow Schools. His statement leads one to the conclusion that a colored teacher was appointed, finally, upon his recommendation, rather than upon her merit. Whence such power? In the light of our elaborate civil service system, our expensive machinery for training teachers, and our almost overly-supervised educational methods, how can an individual colored man recommend and place a teacher to, and with, a school superintendent? The answer is not hard to find when the school superintendent has definitely decided upon segregation, even to "taking the bull by the horns, and just doing it", and the colored man is already suspected of Judas-like leanings. "You can't fool all the people all of the time." A continuous attempt to lessen the force of the people's thought is futile. I feel safe in telling Wm. R. Carter, D. D., that his all-day it is a weak explanation of his actions and of the charges against him, and that the growing conclusions that he is one of the supporters of Jim-Crowism in California has been strengthened, rather than weakened, by it.

Every time you speak a good word for your neighbor you speak two for yourself, for the neighbor booster is always respected by home lovers. It's an easy thing to make a nasty remark about you neighbor, but it is difficult to stop that remark from traveling after it has once been uttered. The monkey in the jungle swings from limb to limb and from tree to tree at remarkable speed, but the monkey is snail compared to the caustic remarks and comments of chronic pessimist. The monkey does not berate either the limbs or the tree for they are his home—they mean safety and comfort to him. The pessimist, however, is not as considerate. His happiest moments are when he is slamming his neighbor. Nothing is right. None of his fellow citizens possess the ability to perform civic duties in the proper manner. Other persons are unable to see the glaring defects that are so plain to him.

It seems to be about time that we had a restatement of our definition of education. We are demanding things of the person we call educated which we may have no right to demand of him. The tendency to look on the educated as a super-intellectual seems to be a hang-over from the days when Oliver Goldsmith modestly confessed to a yearning "amidst the swains to show my book-learned skill"; when he pictured the rustic ranged around the village school master discoursing in "words of learned length and thundering sound: And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all he knew." The sum total of things to be known has increased many hundredfold since those days so that even Goldsmith's village master might be considered as nothing remarkable. From the great store of knowledge the schools pick out certain things which are worth knowing and attempt to impart this knowledge to boys and girls. We can remember only a small part of what is thus learned, and the chances are that when we meet some one who has remembered the same things which we have remembered we call him educated. This, of course, is wrong. Some of us may know things which we did not learn in school. It is conceivable that a man may be a most excellent teacher in some line without having heard of Eli Whitney, and it also is conceivable that one may be able to answer all of the Edison questions and still be a faire as a teacher. SELF SERVICE Many good folk are lamenting the passing of the era when men and women consecrated their lives to unselfish service and prepared themselves to become ministers, missionaries, teachers or country doctors that they might administer to the spiritual, mental and physical needs of humanity without thought of large worldly gain. They are not in error when they charge that modern men and women are choosing vocations today in which they can do the greatest service to themselves. People today are coming to the belief that the best way they can help others is to produce much that their profit shall be large and that they shall never become dependent upon society. The old idea of service was direct. The new service is indirect. Twenty years ago it was still thought that only ministers, doctors and teachers served humanity. Today even workman who carries his whole day's wage home is known to have earned that wage in service to society. Elbert Hubbard's version of the Golden Rule was, "Do us to others as though you were the others," but an even more up-to-date version is "Do yourself much good and no bad to thers.

He said that the presidential nominee, Gov.

He cited the law in the State of New York providing punishment for a restaurant or hotel keeper who refuses to serve a Negro as proof of his charges, and said GOV. SMITH HAD VOTED FOR THAT LAW.

Here is an editorial from the Sacramento Bee, California daily, which will bear a couple of readings. It is a very terse comment on American intolerance, but as we have often said, "Intolerance" is not confined to any particular place or people. Negroes have it and practice it to a great degree: "Americans Hardly Can Point Finger of Scorn ently the cables brought stories of intense excitement in rural sections of Jugoslavia over alleged "ritual children by Jews. There followed a good deal of criminal comment on the benighted ignorance of them. Now there can be no doubt about the condition of civilian peasants. Isolated, uneducated, superstitious they are certainly neither wise nor tolerant. Be unable whether Americans have the right to treat them and intolerance with an air of complacent superstitions equally gross run rampant in certain superstitions the United States, and intolerance just as vicious in every state in the Union. The last few years have seen many Americans—male children—beaten, tarred and feathered and other because of their race or religious faith. They have heard a senator utter in the Senate chair United States nonsense as preposterous as ever and of any Balkan peasant. A view of which facts—and they are not pleasant—coming in all of us to view such Balkan affairs is more indulgent eye. Unfortunately, superstition and ignorance are the property of no nation under the sun, and the one as her fair share of both." Used to be the boast of the United States that opportunity to rise to the pinnacle, no difference in birth or disadvantageous the environment. They could break through those bonds and surmount the which blocked his ambition, was held up as an enigma a democratic nation could produce. It is not so sometime. Is it possible that we are losing sight of the true principle upon which this Republic is grounded that we are being innoculated with the energy of luxury to such extent that we are becoming smarter is the difference between being born in a log hard clay floor or being born in the tenement enclosure of a big city. Is there any difference between being high hewn clap-board house or in a lowly, unpretentious house on a Western prairie? Abraham Lincoln and Jackson, both were born in rough cabins. Both but of poverty's environment and will live in the nation as long as the Republic shall endure. Alfredon in an environment through which he broke by character. Herbert Hoover overcame the distress of his birth and today both he and Governor Smith the high pinnacle gained by Lincoln and Jacksonry the lowly birth. It's the worth of the man. Drawn in Mexico they have selected a president who a term in prison. True it was for some political necessity he was in prison. Imagine a candidate of the United States having been in jail. I am a candidate for an office. I really thought him a man of manly virtue, but I have just learned that he verse.

There followed a good deal of rather supercilious comment on the benighted ignorance of the Balkans. "Now there can be no doubt about the condition of these Jugoslavian peasants. Isolated, uneducated, superstition-rident, they are certainly neither wise nor tolerant. But it is questionable whether Americans have the right to treat their unwisdom and intolerance with an air of complacent superiority. "Superstitions equally gross run rampant in certain sections of the United States, and intolerance just as vicious may be found in every state in the Union. "The last few years have seen many Americans—men, women and children—beaten, tarred and feathered and otherwise abused because of their race or religious faith. "They have heard a senator utter in the Senate chamber of the United States nonsense as preposterous as ever entered the head of any Balkan peasant. "In view of which facts—and they are not pleasant ones—it is becoming in all of us to view such Balkan affairs with a rather more indulgent eye. "Unfortunately, superstition and ignorance are the exclusive property of no nation under the sun, and the United States has her fair share of both." It used to be the boast of the United States that it gave the opportunity to rise to the pinnacle, no difference the lowliness of birth or disadvantageous the environment. The one that could break through those bonds and surmount the obstacles which blocked his ambition, was held up as an example of what a democratic nation could produce. It is not so at this present time. Is it possible that we are losing sight of the fundamental principle upon which this Republic is grounded? It cannot be that we are being innoculated with the enervating germ of luxury to such extent that we are becoming snobbish. Yet what is the difference between being born in a log cabin with a hard clay floor or being born in the tenement environments of a big city. Is there any difference between being born in a rough hewn clap-board house or in a lowly, unpretentious, farm house on a Western prairie? Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson, both were born in rough cabins. Both burst the bonds of poverty's environment and will live in the memory of the nation as long as the Republic shall endure. Alfred Smith was born in an environment through which he broke by sheer force of character. Herbert Hoover overcame the disadvantages of his birth and today both he and Governor Smith are seeking the high pinnacle gained by Lincoln and Jackson. Let's not decry the lowly birth. It's the worth of the man which counts. Down in Mexico they have selected a president who has served a term in prison. True it was for some political offense, but nevertheless he was in prison. Imagine a candidate for the presidency of the United States having been in jail. I have a friend, a candidate for an office. I really thought him to be a paragon of manly virtue, but I have just learned that he is just the reverse. He has stolen everything but the paint off the morgue and he would pluck the golden feathers from the wings of the angels in heaven. Well, we know them to be silly lies. May be only campaign lies, but nevertheless, LIES. * * * * * 57 men took the examination for policemen in San Of that number 380 passed the test. Of the 386, immediate appointments.

That city has the reputation as having the most thoroughly equipped guardians of the law of any of the cities of like size. They are noted for their uniform courtesy, and high personnel.

The examinations are strict and the tests severe, but with all of that it is strange that some of the young Aframericans don't try to make the grade. They have made it in Los Angeles, Berkeley and Oakland, why not San Francisco? They said that Walter Swaggerty could not make the grade as aviator, but he did. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The Hon. Finley Wilson, Washington, D. C., has sought a lot of publicity in making public his declination to serve in an advisory capacity with the J. C. section of the Republican National Committee. We don't see that it would have made much difference. Only one more added to the voteless coterie which is trying to stop the stampede. The tangle of political bolters grows worse as the game gets more and more interesting. Just think of such names as Quay or Penrose being listed in the Democrat column? And that in "Rock Ribbed Pennsylvania." But it is so. A son of the late U. S. Senator Matt Quay, has enlisted under the Smith banner as a Smith Republican, and brother of the late Boise Penrose, former political boss of the state, has followed suit. It certainly is funny how men allow their prejudices to undermine their better judgment. Real issues in this campaign are lost sight of in the airing of the things which appeal to the prejudices of men. Religion; prohibition; the question of Race equality, nor any of the things which arouse the bitterness of men, have to do with the prosperity of the Nation. Conservation of our natural resources, development of our highways: public control of our power development: agricultural relief; building of the Boulder Canyon Dam, and regulation of the tariff. Those things would give the voter something to think about. The other is blatherskite. A reversion to the days when men's passions were aroused by screaming the "Bloody Shirt." The bolting from one political party to the other has not only become fashionable and popular, but we fear that it has reached the proportions of an epidemic. By November 6th it will be so hard to distinguish "which from tother" that the judges and inspectors of election booths will be hard pressed to untangle the ballots. We do hope though, that the ardent admirers of Senator Joe Robinson, Candidate for vice-president on the Democrat ticket will induce him to look into the case of the two youngsters who were railroaded through a trial which the judge has doomed to end in the electric chair unless influential intervention is made. It is conceded that the two boys, who were convicted of drowning a playmate, and on very flimsy evidence, were not given a fair trial and that the sentence of the court was too severe, according to the evidence given. * * * * The Gary, Indiana school its counterpart in Illinois when Morgan Park school, which is a strike because of the presence only, it was nipped in the bud members of the school board.

But keep pegging away brother: Keep pegging away! The Weekly Survey (Bx Leon Whittaker.) "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Eternal watchfulness is necessary for obtaining justice. Excitement over the Blythe affair seems to have died. But black citizenship of California should stick by their guns. Wors- conditions are being fomented. Let us look to Arizona, the double cross in Indiana, and the recent undergrad walkout in Chicago. Unless we are going to have entirely separate school systems or the contrivances of Kai Klux indoctrination, we had better have mor action. We have a clue to a stimulate ourselves to action, and plan to make Jefferson high a scholar of what is taking place at Union school. Last week, we received a Ayne school. These things show us the absurdity of bragging, over a particular political party, especially when it skilfully sidesteps and blocks CULT issues. They show us the necessity for eternal vigilance. Great work is being done by black scholars in Ngo history in the Southeast. There should be a constant spreading of a knowledge of our racial background and heritage. The ancient culture of the black world puts to shame the petty achievements of modern mechanics and the loud raving of Nordic supremacy. Every usable agency should be conscripted to teach Ngo history to our people. This is necessary to offset the insidious methods that our social system uses to frustrate up on our youth the curse of fear and consciousness of inferiority. In real education lie our greatest hope. Let us see that necessary features of that education are not left lagging. We observe that European conditions of hardship are making for an increase in consumer co-operatives. The cooperative principle of non-profit is taking hold even in reactionary America. It is the logical next step in the evolution of the means and in the needs of satisfying human wants. The day of the small competitor, the entrepreneur, has passed. The crush leg, overwhelming, combine is here. The cooperative social ownership of the major instruments of production is next. The black man's dilemma can only be approached through the medium of the smaller cooperative. Individual wealth may give a few a half-being. But the only full realization of manhood for any black person in Americas, poor or wealthy, lies in the co-operative system. As the mass goes so must go the individual. As we "grow up," we cannot help but see the sad side of the financial structure of many Negro institutions. The fiscal arrangement in the majority of the lodges is unsound, and productive of economic waste. The property of the Negro church is gravitating in to the hands of which church holding corporations. As the church is of such supreme importance to the group these matters are naturally of interest to us. Further, some of the doxa of the church may not be acceptable to the young man's new intelligence. But, the great underlying principles and truths, the need of more religion in a mechanical age, the need for economic advancement of our people, will draw youth, despite its enlightenment, into the religious circle. The same propositions may be applied to lodges. There are many disappointing features about the activities of the Republican party during this campaign. As rotten as these big political organizations admittedly are, we have them with us. The colored folk are obviously swallowing the Jimcrow wing wholeheartedly.

Fred, M. Roberts, Editor J. B. Bass and Editor Fred C. Williams are certainly deserving of more recognition than the party is, to all intents and purposes, giving them. These men and others too, ought to be in places of nominal, as well as actual, political leadership. A casual review of this months "Crisis" reveals again the work of the N. A. A. C. P. for the welfare of our people. They are some who have criticized the organization. A little attention explodes the bases of most of their criticisms. The service that it is giving more than offsits all of its alleged faults. The various locals, especially when they are led by men of the dynamic militant, and sincere natures of our own Dr. Hudson, are doing good work. The increase in horrible crimes is sufficient to appeal us. But Hickman's and Northcott's do not surprise us when we realize that some white moths have did their babies up better to be able to see the flames mount the crackling sounds of burning black flesh. The shame of America is not shame alone. It is paying and will further pay, a dividend in crime and corruption yet undreamed of. HEALTH-O-GRAMS BY: DR. C. W. MULLINIKS We are not saying that some physicians are not disheartened, because "ny are human, therefore it would not be true to say that physicians are above the common errors of humanity. However, the thing we want to stress is on the patient's side of the fence. Don't try to hide your faults by lying, or if not actually falsifying, holding back something which you think does not matter. You may be the cause of a blot on an innocent name if you do this and too you may suffr your self when had you been honest it would have be en avoided. Leg us state a few actual happenings to illustrate We once had a patient, who wifely lied because he was ashamed to tell the truth to a young man. Had we done what he was willing to have done rather than tell the truth, he would have suffered physical pain for years and well our reputation of course didn't concern him. Under certain circumstances certain things may be done but under other circumstances they may not be done with impunity. We know another case of a man who has had two operations for stomach ulcers and is now no better off. He thinks it the fault of the surgeons, we know it is the to his own manner of living and had he told the absolute truth in that beginning neither surgeon would ever have operated on him. Here is another example, not a specific one but one which most physicians could give numerous specific examples. A man who is well along in years, comes to a physician with what he terms chronic back ache and so far as his physician can get out of him he is a model husband and father, maybe a grandfather. He gets no better regardless of what treatment he is given, finally he quite this physician and several others giving all a black name. Then you hear quite by accident that this man is detained, by business, at his office several nights a week, and from someone else you find the business which really detained him was some little gold-digger whom he had to escort to a dance and supper after a quiet evening at the show. Such people are not even honest with their own body, because they know their constitution can't stand that abuse. ```markdown ``` HONESTY Friday, October 5, 1928 Looking Through Garvey's Eyes By F. Hyde.) Looking as far back as the mind of man can concentrate, brings one back to the days of creation. You, when darkness covered the face of the earth, when the first divine command was given: "And God said, let there be light." And after creating everything after their kind, male and female, the great Divinity of Creation after surveying the creation of His handwork and seeing the incompletion of creation; the Creator decided that the earth should be people, and God said, "Let us make man in our own image and likeness in order that all men should be made alike and have an equal right to live; God, the Creator said, "Let us of one blood make all men to dwell on the face of the earth. This done, then man was given the divine command: "Go ye out and replenish the earth and subdue it and also have dominion over everything that moveth upon the face of the earth." Looking through Garvey's eye, the divine command, was not limited to any particular man or group of men; neither could it be partially distributed to mankind, for there's no respector of person but rather a universal command. Looking through Garvey's eye down through the ages, one can see the great struggle in life decade after decade, each struggling for the survival of the fittest. The strong oppressing the weak all in continued disobedience of the Divine Laws of nature itself. Looking through Garvey's eye, one can see with the "Rising Tide of Color," flowing like the tide of an endless stream toward the sea of "white supremacy," that the days of retribution is no more forgotten memories, neither is the laws of compensation predestinated adjustment of human rights. Looking through Garvey's eye, the New Negro can see though a higher developed state of consciousness that although Abraham Lincoln, the great Emancipator in the signing of the Emancipation of Proclamation and set the chattles slaves free, his great objective was the Stars and Stripes were at stake, and American democracy must be preserved regardless of when the slaves were, but it happened to be the black man. At the same time, many thanks to the Great Abraham Lincoln, but the old things are all passed away, and all things are made new. Looking through Garvey's eye, one can clearly understand and more readily come to a perfect conclusion that what has been accomplished in the ages past under the most severe difficulties by the races and groups can also be accomplished by another race Looking through Garvey's eye, the most visible objective in the affairs men the world over is the cry for liberty. Men may differ in their ideas on religion, they differ in their geographic study of the earth's area. It may not agree in their astronomical survey of the planets, but, o this one objective, the cry for liberty, all men and nations agree. To b. Continued. P. S.-Special program on Sunday.

ALL within forty-eight hours the two most popular boxers and biggest drawing cards lost their battles—Young Jack Thompson and Ace Hudkins. Both have made rapid sensational rises; both have been in the same stable; both have beaten champions though once the Ace was robbed after beating the middleweight champion, Mickey Walker. BUT even if he had knocked his men out as Thompson did, the welter champ Dundee, Kearns would have claimed a foul. You may beat Walker but you can't beat Kearns. If Dundee is held to his promise Jack will be champion in reality after they meet again, then as Fields is his most dangerous enemy he should do like most all preceding title holders have done—hold on to the crown as long as possible. It is perfectly excusable for a champion to pick a few soft touches until he has made some money out of the title he had such a hard time climbing up to.

STAR ICE CREAM CO. INDEPENDENT 1 There was a time, not long ago, when Pauline Carson, aged 12, did nothing for that tired, inactive feeling. In the schoolroom, teachers noticed the pale, underweight, sickly looking child, always fatigued after a few blocks' walk from her home to the schoolhouse, low spirited because of her low scholastic standing as compared to that of the other children who were always alert and keen. Investigations into Pauline's home revealed the fact that she was in constant contact with a tubercular father and an overworked, under-nourished mother, all living in a drab, stuffy little house. Pauline was immediately taken from her home, with the parent's consent, and placed in the Mother Cabrini Preventorium, an agency of the Community Chest. Here she was given a complete physical examination and kept under observation for two weeks, during which time she received necessary nursing, dental and medical care. She is now placed on a regular routine schedule which calls for three hours of schooling during the week and two hours of bed rest every afternoon. She is given good, wholesome food, sleeps out of doors on porches, enjoys sun baths, exercises and daily shower baths under the supervision of trained nurses and doctors. Pauline has gained considerable weight in the few months she has been at the Mother Cabrini Preventorium. Her eyes are no longer dull and she now looks forward to the few hours of schooling with genuine interest. The Community Chest contributed $11,970.00 this year to the Mother Cabrini Preventiorium, an organization the city of Los Angeles should support in its barricade against the army of tubercular germa. The Preventiorium is a non-sectarian institution for under-nourished and pre-tubercular girls, age three to seventeen years. It has an open air school from first to eighth year grades, provides the best medical and heliotherapy treatments, with wholesome supervised recreation, short walks, reading, music, games, bead work and basket work, giving the children a happy, healthy and pleasant home.

ROBERTI SICK; GODFREY WAITS New York, Oct. 2.—(U.P.)—The heavyweight bout between George Godfrey and Roberto Roberti, scheduled for Wednesday night at Ebbets field, has been postponed because of Along Fisticuffs Row SENSATIONAL SAMMY JACKSON This Sammy Jackson who has fondht his way up at Ocean Park is about as likely a looking youngster as ever donned a glove. To see him battle is another instance of the lack of any great color prejudice among fight fans. Practically all of Sammy's battles are against white boys and when he climbs in the ring he invariably gets twice as big a hand as his opponent. GENE TUNNEY has signed up for a no-round limit, no rule, no time battle, to a finish in the matrimonial ring. At that there is a big purse at stake if he can get to use it. THE PARADE and send-off to Young Jack Thompson when he left for Frisco to battle Fields expressed how popular he is with his Los Angeles friends. A large crowd was attracted by the music of the orchestra, and gazed at the banners. "RIB-STEAK" Frazier is getting to be a great card in *Passadena*. Mike O'Gara studied a long time and kept him waiting several weeks before adding him to the stable as a mate of Neat Cisby. Now he is glad of it. the illness of the Italian giant. Robert is suffering from a cold in the kidneys. It is set for Oct. 15. Malcewicz Received Truck Load of Telegrams Before Lewis Match As evidence of the importance of Lon Daro's title match at Wednesday night the greatest interest was aroused all over the country by Joe Malcewicz, the sensational "Panther" of the mat. During the last few days Malcewicz received nearly a 100 telegrams from wrestlers and promoters alike, wishing him success with his backward body slam against the title holder, and expressing confidence in his ability to defeat the champion. They call him "Ribs" because he loves to shoot wicked left and rights to the ribs.

After a most sensational rise in the glove throwing business by putting the welterweight champion of the world on his back in Chicago a few weeks ago, Young Jack Thompson lost a one-sided bout to Jackie Fields last Tuesday night, in San Francisco. From the northern reports the hee- From the northern reports the hectic battle was one of the most thrilling ever held in Frisco. The world series started yesterday with the fighting Yankees on the short end of the betting. Thompson was a disappointment to his admirers and backers. The fight he put up did not do credit to the slashing, hard-hitting piece of bronze fighting machinery that put Joe Dundee down for the count. The series will be a renewal of the 1825 games when the Cards took four out of six games to walk away with the world's championship and the big end of the dough Writers covering the fight said that the Jewish boy was far too fast for Thompson. Black Jack fought in spurs. In the two rounds that he won he looked like the champ he was in Chicago. Combs Pennock, the star port sider is on the sick list with a sore arm Combs, the husky New York out-field er is laid up with an injured wrist but will probably get into the fray when the teams move to Saint Louis to resume the series Thompson showed in an exhibition bout in Los Angeles on the 30th, and then jumped to San Francisco to fight one at his weight in the game. Without a doubt these injuries will offset the Yankees' chances of winning, but as an underdog they are hard to beat. A two hundred mile jump in a day for a fighter that is on edge from a training seige isn't the best in the world for him. Bad stuff for a manager as smart as Ray Alvis.

Gives Report on the Number of Colored People Employed, Days Worked and Salary Earned Over A Period Of Twelve Months The report submitted by Mr. Chas, E. Butler of the Central Casting Corporation, concerning the activities of our people in the motion picture Industry, should be highly interesting to those among us who are interested in our economical struggles. Many amongst us would like to know whence comes our payroll. There are numerous byways of employment where thousands of our people eke out salaries, that goes to make up the weekly payroll of our race, that many of us know nothing of; the motion picture Industry is such a one. These guests are primarily given out, in order to increase the dignity of those who are followers of the game. As the figures will show, there are none, working for charity. There is real money made out of pictures. Business men along the Avenue will attest to that. The figures taken over a period of twelve months, reveal this: Beginning Oct., 1927, for that month 377 people were employed, earning a salary of $3,699.00; for Nov., 152 people earned a salary of $1,818.00; Dec., 164 people earned $1,553.50; Jan., 1928, 292 people earned $2,657.75; Feb., 227 people earned $2,279.50; Mar., 619 people earned $5,898.00; Apr., 139 people earned $1,469.00; May, 187 IN THE Movement Of 1928 At Hotel Son outstanding achievement among REINANCE AND INVESTMENT C , financing and management wi Why You Should Become a Stock Office of the Company Phone Rev.

Observe, mind you, that the figures appearing here do not include every colored person that appeared in pictures, over the last twelve months. Only a total of about $37,985.00 for that period appears here. This list compiled by the entral Casting Corp- oration, does not list those people hired by independent casting bureaus, or those hired direct by studio casting offices, nor those who are working temporarily in stock: such as weekly contracts, etc. Out of those not listed, if their salaries were computed, it would easily raise the total for the twelve months far in excess of $50. 000.00. That's quite a payroll. I mean! Another thing, let me call to your mind. The grand total of the number of people employed, would show 4,283 people earned this salary. If there were actually that many different individuals to share that salary of fifty grand it wouldn't seem to be so stupendous. But, that's not the case. The reason why 4,283 people appear is because that's the only way we can list them. But actually there aren't' over 200 hundred people actually engaged in earning that salary. Out of that number perhaps, about 75 can be definitely listed as people who earn their living in pictures. Now, looking at it in this light, one can see that if that 75 regular people had split the $50,000.00, they would have earned $666.06 over that 12 months. Not so bad, eh? Before the month of Oct. is out, it is predicted by the wiseacres that more than $20,000.00 will have been paid our group for picture work. Thempson Loses To Fields; Is Still Recognized Champion Only the fact that Fields handlers had schooled him to try to be jack Thompson boxing and not let him get over his terrific rights was all that saved him from being the loser in stead of the winner in Monday night's great bout at Frisco. The round near the end of the battle shows that Thompson would have won a mile if just half the round had been like it. GEORGE REED BACK IN PICTURES MAN WHO MADE HIT IN "HERE COMES THE BRIDE" WITH FAMOUS LAFAYETTE PLAYERS SIGNED AT PARAMOUNT Mr. George Reed will appear in "Four Feathers", a Cooper Production at Paramount Studio. No definite part has been assigned Reed, as yet However, one may expect him to do a pretty heavy bit. Studios don't usually hire people of Reed's calibre and salary to do atmosphere. That's out The Avenue boys have thus far made some real money out of this picture. They are expected to make considerably more. They are scheduled to take about 100 of the boys on location, for about a week. That's not bad. HOLD TIGHT BOYS. BIG THINGS ARE BREWING That title should bring the Revenue officers. But we don't mean just that. A quaint way of calling the attention of the boys to the current dope sheets. According to that way of ascertaining things, there are a large number of films being put to script form, for immediate shooting, calling for Colored actors. That's real reel news. Byrd Drops Colored Stowaway Byrd Drops Colored Stowaway (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, Sept. 25.—Because the captain of the City of New York, Commander Richard Byrd's flagship in his journey to the South Pole, did not thing Robert Scott Lanier, colored stowaway who had been given the privilege of making the trip, was strong enough, Lanier was dropped when the ship reached Colon in the canal zone. Lanier was one of three stowaways discovered on the ship just after it pulled out of New York. The other two were white and were not permitted to start on the voyage. The writer of this little article has certainly misjudged me, and has caused me to speak right out here and now and say that that is why I am for Al Smith for President, because I think he is a big man in principle, even though he is a Democrat. However in making this decision at this time I do it independently and not because I have been paid off by any party, or individual, nor am I aspiring for leadership or political favor, instead I feel with many others of my groun phtat the Negro has been a target far the Democratic party and a tool for the Republican Party long enough. The time has come when he must vote for men and issues regardless of political affiliation. Y.M.C.A. Membership Campaign 28th Street Branch 1006 East 28th Street ANNIVERSARY WEEK OPENS AT LINCOLN THEATRE TONIGHT WITH "MADAME X" With the opening performance of "Madame X" tonight the Lincoln Theatre celebrates its first "Birthday", and the management has completed arrangements to make Anniversary Week quite the most auspicious event since the opening of this popular theatre. It is just one year ago since the Lincoln opened its doors and attention is called to the rapid strides that have been made by this house in that short period. Since the new policy went into effect last month whereby Los Angeles theatregoers are being provided with the very best available productions in the way of New York stage hits, interpreted by the famous Lafayette Players, colored artists, the Motorcycle Delivery Day on Night. Prescriptions. Called. For. and Promptly Delivered—Insisted On Our Service Lincoln has been visited by scores of prominent people from all parts of California, and by numerous stars of the screen, Starting with "Rain" and continuing through "The Cat and The Canary" which closed a successful week last night, the Lincoln's stage attractions have been witnessed by such world famous personages of cinema land as Charlie Chaplin, Gloria Swanson, Betty Compson, King Vidor, Eleanor Boardman, Edna Murphy, Mervyn Leroy, Jeanne Eagels and countless others, who have been unanimous in their praise of the Lafayette Pleyers. Cleo Desmond will play the title role in "Madame X", the Lincoln's birthday treat to its patrons. Since the Lafayette Players opened their season at the Lincoln, Miss Desmond has essayed prominent character roles in all attractions, but "Madame X" is her first starring vehicle in Los Angeles. The actress scored repeated triumphs when she toured eastern cities in "Madame X" a few years ago and her work is expected to be the talk of Los Angeles before the final performance of this great drama of mother love is staged. The story of "Madame X" is well known to the theatrregents, with its poignant story of a thoughtless mother who deserts her young son and husband to elope with a lover, and who repents and returns, only to find the doors of her home barred to her. When Pauline Frederick played the title role in this gripping drama, it became famous over night, and it is safe to predict that in the hands of Miss Desmond, the role will prove equally sensational. In addition to Cleo Desmond, the cast of "Madame X" will have Sidney Kirkpatrick, Monte Hawley, Edward Thompson, Bebe Townsend, Artur Rly, Charges Olden, Lawrence Criner and others.

The theme of this conference was "Leadership That Serves." The success of this gathering of outstanding men and boys of the Physical department activities was due largely to the work of a committee headed by N. O. Houston and composed of Y. Griggs, C.

So in the cooler and juster studies of America’s history the New Negrc asks the justified question: “What has the Republican party really done for me?” If it has not freed me alone, by it self, and [, the Negro, even as 3 slave in 1861-1865, had to jump in and ere the real decision of the fight for emancipation and if the Republican Party then bas only incidentally help. ed to free me to save its dear Nor‘ and the Union of the States, and since in alb the years between 1865 and 1928, the Republican party has ab. solutely done nothing substantial and constructional to equalize my s'and. ing as a Negro citizen of American nativity with the “superior” standing of the White man, what obligation and what loyalty, all imaginary and misplaced, do 1 any longer owe now to the Republican party and its hench- men?!” The New Negro with a mind as alert as the White man’s mind and with a heart that beats for the same economic and cultural freedom that the White man craves for, knows that not a single Republican, nor Demo- cratic President that we have had, ev: er made a direct solitary step to pro- tect bis and ber life against lynch: ing in America, nor ever undertook any measures, Tegal or military or both, to bring thése foul foes of America’s honor and the helpless Ne. goes’ lives ta a speedy and deserving punishment through death. for every President. of this land, since Lincoln's tragic death, peter cared at all so ‘riously and hiimanely, how the sable son and daughter of the hosts of Ham were making ft in America, the so called Iand of equal opportunities. The safety of a Negro’s life, the security of his home and the equal opportuni ty of his job never concerned the Re- publican statesman and politician very much, for 5.000 lyncbings in 50 years and more than 2% millions of Ne Eroes out of work Yow and with many Black men and Women waging a hope Jess fight against starvation, death and disease tell a story of cruelty neglect and treason of the Republi can party toward the Negro never equalled in dire torment and pagan Christianity by any other political party in the world. ‘The big, fat liars and heartless de- eeivers in the Republican party that aim to catch the Negto’s vote to save its ticket from its certain impending defeat are the same high-priests of hypocrisy and fraud that in 98 out 100 cases close their big factories, mills and shops to Negro toil, segre- gate and isolate our wonderful and admirable Negro citizen-and resident- ship in our “Itberty”-country and com- pel our Negro population to dwell in Special economic and universal serf- dom and second-rate, inferior condt- tions of labor and life, quite different than other ‘people. The Republican party, the so-alled friend of the Ne- gro, has really been from time to time, 2 real foeman to the Negro’s speedy rise, that was accomplished in great rart, through the Neero’s own historic surviving powers and his natural in- telligence as a fit human to make uni- versal progress, +o that at best, we can name the Republican party in a National sense as “the most distin- guished friendly enemy the Negro has.” % California’s Largest $ Laundry > $ § NUWAY FAMILY 3 : FINISH ; 8 Phone VA. 2431 Driver 268 3 § MAGNET ROUGH 3 3 DRY-HOTEL 3 ° FLAT g B Phone VA. 1291 Driver 705 B nace Representatives; Prompt $ Dependable Sérvice; “ A Trial % é Bandle Convinces.” % Iwan J.
